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 Sharp podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Today on the show, we talked about being in a
mixed weight relationship. So we know these mixed race, there's
mixed height. Now mixed weight is a think because of
the link bridges.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
It also writing, do you still write things actually out,
like physically grab a pen in a bit of paper
or pencil and write things down?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
You should.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
We'll find out how common that is too. Sam away
until Monday. We're going to catch up with him though
in France before seven and on Henley from the Eagles
start seventy seven years old, so from birthdays to other
celebrations on Sam.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I wonder if he's going to see any of the
Olympics while he's in France. A good point, yeah, because
we're going to start talking about it in a big
way in the coming days. But to weddings now and
we've found this situation and I just wonder how often
this has happened. You know, I've seen the movie run
Away Bride with Julia Roberts. Remember she hops on a
horse runs from the ultar. That's literally on the day
(01:09):
of the wedding. But in this case, a woman has
said to her husband, no, I'm not going through with it.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
The wedding is off.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
This is four days out for one particular reason, and
that was he refused to see sign a prenuptial agreement.
Now I suspect I don't know the ins and outs
of this relationship, but I suspect that she maybe had
a considerable amount of money before she met him and
was trying to protect herself.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
And that's what a lot of modern day couples do.
I'd need to sign a prenup, did you d wasn't
anything to take from either of us. Made it very
simple when we got engaged at twenty four. But the
question this morning is did you call off the wedding
after getting engaged or did your partner?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
And what was the reason? What was the reason that
it got called off? Because it's a big call, isn't it.
Once you've got that sparkler on the finger to go, Actually,
this isn't happening. Even more of a big call if
you've already planned the wedding and the invitations have been sent.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Do you remember the golf of Rory McElroy did that?
Was it? Caroline? Was Yanke the tennis player?
Speaker 6 (02:09):
He did?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
The invitations had gone out and they were not long
to be married. And I think she'll be thinking in
lucky stars that happened because he's since divorced from that
woman that he did arry. That's right, and it's all
become quite bitter and nasty. So did you call it
off or did your partner? And what was the reason?
Maybe someone called it off because of this prenup thing.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Maybe that's what was the reason. Now eight hundred double
four Coast South phone number. Well for it takes to
two six nine nine, Or is.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
It wedding that you know about? Get called off? Why
tell us something happened on the way to the Oldhick?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Clearly, I was just thinking, we're in the depths of winter,
aren't we. July twenty third today and next month is
the last month of winter? Can you believe it? And
something to be positive about? Don't you dare give me
any stats on Christmas though Jays tomorrow. If you're getting
married at this time of year, in the middle of winter,
I nearly did. I'm a December wedding person. I got
(03:01):
married in December. But for a brief moment, I thought,
wouldn't it be nice to have a winter wedding and
have it all fairy lit with candles, just that really
romantic kind.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Of cozy vibe.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And then I got married in December and it was
pouring with rain the night before. Luckily it came out
fine the next day. But if you should keep married
in winter this time of year, I think it's a
good time because it's apparently cheaper.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
But did you go through with it.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
In the end, did you actually marry the person that
you said you were going to or did you get
cold feet and change your mind?
Speaker 5 (03:32):
And I think the.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Closer you get to your wedding, the clap and more
clarity you get right and people get cold feet for
a reason and say, actually, my gut is telling me
this isn't the right person.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
It's a bit cool. The person you're going to spend
the rest of your life with it is.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
And you were saying before, there's a woman who pulled
up in four days out from her wedding.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, and that was a very clinical reason. I suspect
she loved this person. But this person wouldn't sign a prenup,
and I think it was a case of if you
love me, you'll sign this, and if you're not going
to sign it, why aren't you? What's your innovation? And
I suspect he was saying, well, why do we need
a prenup?
Speaker 5 (04:03):
If you love.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Me, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yay?
Speaker 4 (04:07):
All it kicks on two six nine nine. Good. Hey
guys loving the show.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Please take your name call me Biggs all right, Becks
not your real name. Something happened to a friend of
mine who called who witting off after something happened at
her hens night in Queenstown. Oh, no going to details,
but I'm like, what happened there?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I don't think we need the details. I think we
know exactly what happened. Here's another example for you. So
friends of mine, this is only a couple of years ago.
We're traveling to Europe for a wedding and they, you know,
got grandparents to look after the kids, traveled over Europe
when they he was a groomsman. When they landed, they
pulled them aside and said, I'm sorry you've arrived in Europe,
(04:42):
but the wedding isn't happening because the bride to bee
had found out her husband had been cheating on her and.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
That was over.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Oh and so they've just arrived this wedding specifically, and
so they stayed and had a holiday, but a bit awkward.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Oh good times.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
I still like the.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Cheating thing is kind of like a given reason. But
the free nap, the pre nup takes the cake, that's weird.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Do you prefer winter or summer? On the text on
two six nine, I'm pretty split down the middle. Actually,
a couple of people saying winter and one boat really
not liking winter at all.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
This person is my spirit animal. On the text, I
was like, you are speaking to my soul. I hate
this winter. It's been so wet. Usually I enjoy winter,
but I'd like to say I prefer summer, and I'm
with you, it's been so wet.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I just regardless of the winter we're having, I always
prefer summer. I'd rather get my toes in the sand
rather than my feet cold in the snow.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Do you reckon?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
This is a big generalization for me, but do you
think the people that say winter are generally snow bunnies?
You know, ski and they snowboard, and see, I'm not
a skier, So then I'm like.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
What are the positives apart from you know.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
The roaring fire and all that. I get that you
can also turned into a hibernator. I don't really do much.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I'm way more social in summer.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
But anyway, apparently when because we're go like a week
left of July, it's cold and really most of the
country this week. I'm sure I'm not the only one
missing summer, but apparently when summer arrives, you've got to
be careful.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Shine showing the last begin everything on the.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
Sunshiny.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
So I suspect that you might have fallen victim to
sunshine guilt before. So sunshine guilt and it's become popular
with the younger generation.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Particularly on TikTok.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
So.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yes, you're inside and maybe you're you're on this particular
day a least, say you're really tired and you just
want to watch a movie, and then you look outside
your window and it's like this glorious blue sky day,
and you've got serious guilt that you're not making the
most of the day. And I think that could definitely
happen more in winter because there are so many gray,
(06:49):
wet days that when you do get a sunny one
you think, oh, I better get outside and do something.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
If you're far between, you got to do something with it. Yeah,
do you get that?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I do, especially when there are a lot of things
to do, like what I'm finding at the moment. Can't
get a washing dry. I don't want to use to
dry too much, and so that you try to hang
it in a place. It's like a laund from out
at the moment. And so you had a nice, fine day.
You feel guilty that I should be outside doing something,
but I'm inside trying to get the laundry done.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Jason just can't get the washing done. I just can't
get the first world problems.
Speaker 8 (07:14):
Do you know what?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I actually don't think I have sunshine gilt all that much.
I feel like I need to pin a new term, right,
a reverse term for that, because I get I feel
like I'm in the elements all bloody winter, because I
every single week I go to two netble trainings. I
go to two netball games and sometimes a tournament. Now
that's potentially five times out in whatever conditions they throw
(07:37):
at me. And on the weekend I was in torrential
rain at the netple Courts on a Sunday and my
last day of leave, going what is my life?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
So what's that reverse? If it's not sign shine gilt,
it's rain anger.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Rage, rain, rage, rain, rain, rain.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Rage, Screw the Sunshine Girl, I got rain.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Raye cash My back to when you were younger and
there was a movie that came. It was a movie
A it was a movie. It's a really freaky movie
with one word.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
It's actually a It started as a book by Roald
Dahl and was turned into a movie called Witches.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
So with asked tat tweety two year old producer Rosie
to watch this. We do this every Tuesday with a
Rosies review. Rosie, what did you think a freaky as
we remember?
Speaker 9 (08:17):
Well, I've gone through and written down my live thoughts
as I was watching that again. And first off, for
a movie that's made for children about children literally getting kidnapped.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
And murdered, what the heck terrifying?
Speaker 9 (08:35):
As a four or five year old, imagine watching that.
That would just scare the living day lights out of me.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I don't think it was made specifically for four or
five year old, but I think it was a children's
book by Roald Dahl, and he usually aims at what
about eight to ten years old.
Speaker 9 (08:49):
Well, and I loved wrote dull books growing up, especially
the Witch's Book, and I didn't even know that it
was made into a movie. And they have made the
new movie as well, which again I haven't seen, so
I do really want to watch after watching this. But
the actress playing the lead with uh sorry, playing the
lead witch, Angelica Houston Houston is so creepy in the
best way possible, and I firstly thought that she was
(09:12):
an incredible actress to be playing that. And mister Beaners
in the movie as well, Oh yeah, and the stuff
for us.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
It's the only.
Speaker 9 (09:21):
Person that I can see him as I don't even
know what's his actual name.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
All I can see him is.
Speaker 9 (09:27):
Mister bean Anyways, the actual movie, I was not expecting
them to look as disgusting as they did. It was
actually just I couldn't.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
I could not pretty epic special effects for that era, and.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
I almost think movies today so say it. For example,
the movie It, the special effects are so intense that
it's almost not realistic.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Yes, I still have not watched it, either the one
that came out of the nineties or the most recent one,
because I'm terrified that even the thought of that, so
I won't watch it.
Speaker 9 (09:58):
Yeah, well, whereas I think this will fix in this movie,
they're not done on a computer, right, They're done by
a makeup artists.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
But it's almost scarier that way.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
So the new one you knows with Anne Hathaway, right,
and she's she plays like Houston's character, and I don't
think she would do it as I did. You see
the part of the movie when they literally push a
baby's praym over a cliff.
Speaker 9 (10:21):
So terri so bad, and the way she does it
as well, she goes up to the baby and she's
looking into the crib like, oh, sweet little baby down
the hill.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
So I'm taking from this really impacted you, and I
think it really dead effect.
Speaker 9 (10:34):
There was one scene in particular where they turn the
children into the mice Jace.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
You have the audio there.
Speaker 10 (10:43):
And they're all, oh, it was.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I that is so torturous to children. I totally agree.
But I have to say I would watch it again
just to freak yourselves out. I think you should show
you your kids the movie.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
I'm definitely showing my eleven year oldster.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Begg out of teim what do you do it?
Speaker 5 (11:07):
I'd give it a.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Now mate Sam has actually been away for a wee while.
He's been on holiday with his family, his mum and dad,
his sister and brother in law and all the kids.
It's a family trip of a lifetime. They've made their
way through Italy, the mon through Turkey and Greece, but
now they're in France.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I know the place, the sight of the Olympics, and
I don't know if you saw this picture and maybe
we can share this on the Coast Breakfast Instagram page.
Did you see the Eiffel Tower all this up with
the Olympic rings? Beautiful and how the moon played its
part and went exactly behind the central ring. I don't
know if they planned it that way. I don't know
if you can play that sort of stuff with the moon.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Especially because all the lights on the Eiffel Tower flash,
so it's really hard to get a nice mooteo of
the Eiffel Tower.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Pa.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
It was so good and right now as I speak,
I'm actually just downloading the Olympic Games app. If you
go into your app store and look for Paris to
twenty four, you gotta get it because it gives you
the schedule and you can filter it so you can
see exactly when the Kiwi athletes are.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
It's so good competing, you can see metal tables.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
It's just so much easier because remember we start this
week before the opening ceremony on Saturday.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
I hope Sam gets to soak in some of us
while he's there.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Imagine so.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
And apparently the view from the Affel Tel you look
down onto the Olympic village and it looks amazing right there.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
So I mate, Sam is in France.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
Guys from the south of France, where a nice I
didn't even know.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
That we were coming here.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
You've got to be across the schedules.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
So we are just about to leave the shore on
the tender to head back to our cruise ship on
well after the greatest day I think of the entire trip.
Niece is beautiful, man like, we're just about to leave.
In fact, Graham Heart's got his boat just parked out
in the harbor, just here with his support ship with
a helicopter on it.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
So there's other Keywi's here. What a day as well.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
We went to Monaco and we went around the track
for the Monaco Grand Prix. In fact, it's quite funny
because our bust stopped at the start line and we
did the slowest start ever for the Monaco Grand Prix
in a shuttle bus, so it was like on your marks,
gets at the people tuning behind because we stopped on
pretty much a main street, go and it was like
(13:15):
big clouded diesel, but off we went. Me and Dad
were grinning like cheshire cats, so that was really cool.
Then we went to a medieval castle on the top
of a hell called Ears.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Now you have to google it.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
The most beautiful spot that.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
We've seen in the entire time, tiny little narrow lanes
once again, but at this time on the top of
a hell, and when you get to the top of
the hell you can look out across across Nice as well,
with the best views you've ever seen, and oddly enough,
with a weird.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Collection of cactuses. And then we hit the beaches for
a swim, but we didn't bring our.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
Togs, so the whole New Zealand clan got in their
undeath and they swum the shores of Nice on a
very people's stony beach, which is excruciatingly painful but very refreshing.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
The South of France is my place.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
I miss you, I wish you were here.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I can't wait to get home kind.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Of Thanks for listening to the Feel Good Breakfast catch
Up podcast with Costs, Tony Street, Jace Reeves, and Sam Wallas.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I want you to think back now to when you
were studying for your school exams. That's assuming you actually
did do some study, because for many of us it
was sort of a chor, wasn't it. It was like, oh,
I'm better go study. How did you come up with
and remember things? And I remember I was a little
bit of a study nerd. I used to like to
have things very much in order, and I would do
diagrams and make up songs and ditties to remember things.
(14:36):
But one thing I absolutely did was I wrote everything
down and made notes. And I remember thinking if I
hadn't written all these notes out for every single subject,
I was definitely going to fail.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
I was a geek too.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah, so you were using pen and paper, right, And
I think we didn't really have a choice because computers
were a thing, but not as much of a thing
where you were constantly.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Typing, So we were forced to write.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
And it turns out you were the lucky ones because
it has been scientifically proven that if you physically write
something on a piece of paper or on a whiteboard,
you are ten times more likely to remember it than
if you just type it on laptop or a keyboard
ten times ten times.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
I believe that because I've got you know me, I've
got the old school paper diary, and I write everything
in my diary and often I don't have to look
back at it because I remember it.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Actually, you're so right. It's just the act of writing
into your brain. So if you've got children or grandchildren
that are studying for any form of exams or things
that they want to remember, geez, I've got a daughter
that's about to play Matilda, and I'm thinking maybe she
needs to write out the whole script so that she
can remember them. I just found this fascinating because then
I thought to myself, what do I still write? No,
(15:44):
wonder my memories bad. I don't think of writing anything
down these days. I'll write down like you jays. I'll
write down the grocery list. Yes, And I get really
grumpy when my husband doesn't, because he's like, I'm just
remembering it.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
I'm like, how are you remembering that our psalt is
run out?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Don't you walk in again? I'll I'll confusion. I'm looking
at Oh, where are I supposed to be? Oh that's right, bread,
not I supposed to onions?
Speaker 9 (16:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Oh no, And you need the clarity of the fact
that you've written it down. But I'm trying to think
what else I write? I will write my netball notes
for practices, okay as a coach.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
See that's good, you write that down.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I'm going to tax from Pipper on two six nine
nine says he writes a to do list for her husband.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
We call it this honey do list. Honey do this,
Honey do that?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Oh my gosh, I need to start that because my
husband doesn't write it down, and then when I ask
him things he's forgotten.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
I'm like, it's cause you didn't write it down.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
But I don't know if I've got the capacity to
write my to do list and my husband's And when
Sam comes back, probably his two.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeah, probably yeah. So do you still write things down?
What are you writing down? We'd love to hear your story.
I wait, one hundred double four Coast South phone number.
Write that down if you need to, or I see
it's hext to two six nine nine.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
What are you writing at? We're asking about the things
you were writing.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Down, because the reason you should be writing things down
is you remember them ten times more than if you
type them.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
I love this.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
We've had a text from a florist and this warms
my heart. And she said, we handwrite all the cards
at work. It's nice to have handwritten messages with flowers.
Floris do that, so quite often if you've seen flowers,
it'll be a typed out note. So I love the
idea of someone actually putting pin to the card. It
adds that personal touch.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
And often floriess have way nicer writing than I'll ever have, so.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
I know it's all squiggling telegraphy.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Another one has said, a good morning, Coast team, I
wrote down my grocery shopping in my documents app. So
I don't forget things now when she sees right down,
is she meaning typing in the documents? Does she have
one of those fancy phones that have that pin on
the side and you still technically writing?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
You know, he can write things down and take a
photo of it and it becomes part of your document app.
There you true that you know that the text to
write whatever it is, Daniel, what are you writing down?
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (17:49):
I write down my to do list. I would be
locked without it. And I've got a little key, so
you know, if I don't do something, it gets like
a little different to tomorrow's symbol. And if I do it,
it's a check. But also my diary, so I need
a physical diary so.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
I can write it down.
Speaker 10 (18:03):
Otherwise it's gone, it's forgotten.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I'm exactly the same as you, Daniel. I have to
write it in my diary.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I am too, and I suspect knowing you Dan yell,
you just like me with your stationary you want pretty
pens books. Absolutely, yeah, we are one of the same person.
There's something so nice about fresh stationery.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
I have to say, Suri, what are you writing down?
Speaker 8 (18:27):
I do? I do the usual grocery list and everything
and put the rubbish out, but I also write inspirational
quotes on whiteboards on the fridge, and also little little
messages to the kids and stuff.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
You know.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
I hope your days are as amazing as you are.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Oh sure, are you one of those mums that puts
some in the lunchboxes because I love that.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
No, my kids do, they put They put little messages
in my bag for me.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
While I.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Love your family and you've just sparked. The whiteboard thing
has sparked in me. I have a giant whiteboard planner,
and that still counts because I'm getting those whiteboard markets
out and I have different colors for every child, all.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
These little post notes around for my wife and kids
down again.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, so a lot of lists taking here. I wonder
if anyone's actually writing anything.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
I'm a school teacher and this is my sixtieth year
of teaching. Teaching handwriting is one of the skills that
we had to do in the sixties, seventies and eighties,
and I still maintain that ability to write. I do
(19:39):
family diaries for my siblings. I'd let her write keep
a diary of everyday the activities that I do. And
when I'm a relieving teacher SOMEMA or college, and I
have recommended by the students about my start of handwriting.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I bet congratulations on teaching for so long and having
those great values too, because I totally agree with you,
and I think there is something too putting pen to
paper and the neural pathways that you know make your
brain one remember, but two it's just great for your function.
I think as a child and as adults someone's just
saying they're currently doing a cross word.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
That counts as right.
Speaker 10 (20:23):
Sure what.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Lil was saying, you're right.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I got a letter in the post and I was
thrilled until I open it. I was thrilled the other
day because I've got a leader in the post and
it wasn't a written outlet of it.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
I was like, Oh, what is this, have a full
name and everything on it.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
It's probably just a bill.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I get that excitement too, and you get disappointed when
it's cited my bank saying here's your statement.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
I was thinking the same thing, use my full name,
and I was like, what is this and open it up.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
It wasn't a bill that There's a big logo on
the top left corner, the police logo, and it's a
letter saying that.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
I've been accused of something. Now this is the second
time this sort of stuffs happened to me in your
life recently, last few months. So something's going on and
I don't know what.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
So the letter says that I ran a red light
and I've been I've been dobbed and by a member
of the public, and it says if they make a
further complaint, we're gonna have to investigate in criminal charges.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
My follow the letter, Did you run a red light? No?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
And here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
No, I wouldn't do that, but well not that I
know of. But also it sees where I was driving.
I was nowhere near that suburb that day at that time. Like,
I don't drive that part, not that it's a dodgy part,
but I just don't go to the suburb. The judge
of that, it's you, that's where I'm.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Supposed to be, right, But this was not where I
said the car was.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
You don't strike me as a running a red light
kind of guy. But if someone's seen you, they've seen you,
and you're getting a letter.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
That was.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Through my diary. Was I supposed to be this? No,
I wasn't. It was like about eleven in the.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Morning one day, a week day, and I looked at
the diary and I knew that we were in a
planning meeting on that Thursday, So I couldn't have even
been there.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Case.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
We all know our attendance at those training meetings aren't regular.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
You know, I've always those meetings. But this is the
second time something like this has happened the last few months.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
What else has happened.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Okay, So we to a petrol station, right, and I
pulled in there and I went in there to prepay,
and the guys that I know, we can't save you fuel? Like,
what is that that vehicle has been involved in a
drive off?
Speaker 5 (22:22):
What?
Speaker 9 (22:23):
What? Now?
Speaker 3 (22:24):
This is a petrol station I hardly ever go to
because we fill up at Costco. We've got a Costco
card and it's cheap of fuel. So it's way off
the motorway and that's where I got to fill up
both our cars.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Let's just let me get this straight.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
So within the space of the last month, Yes, you
have been accused by a member of the public and
sent a letter from the police for running a red light.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Yes, and now you're not paying your petrol.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
This is what they said.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Now are you okay? Maybe who else drives your car?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
So this is what I'm thinking. So I said to Louise,
where have you been? Baby? She's well, no, because I
had the car on the roa.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Did you go where have you been? Or did you
go where have you been?
Speaker 10 (23:03):
Babe?
Speaker 3 (23:05):
It doesn't matter how I asked the question, but I
was like, could you have been could this have been ususe?
Speaker 5 (23:09):
No?
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Because again.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
I had the car on that Thursday nowhere near this
red light. But someone has stopped us. And now I'm
thinking to myself, this person's got the wrong number plate.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Easy to do. But the petrol station Rickons is a
drive off.
Speaker 7 (23:19):
No.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
I asked to see the screen because he had a
photo on the screen. He said, no, it's the number plate.
Can I see the screen?
Speaker 9 (23:25):
No?
Speaker 4 (23:25):
I can't show you the screen.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
I suspect most people that engage in criminal activity have
foggy memories too.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
That's all I'm going to say, Jason. I mean one
incident we could explain away to it. Incidents. I'm starting
to worry.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Anyway, No, good lawyal, what's the outcome here is I'm
gonna have to call the police and go I think
someone else has got another plate.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Or you should just confess, say lock me up. I
am the Coast criminal.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
No, not guilty, you're on.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
We need to talk about the latest term that is
going viral on social media, and it is called mixed
weight relationships.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Now you might not have heard that before. I mean,
we hear of mixed race, don't we.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
And that's been happening for many, many years, and I
quite Frankly, I don't know how why people have to
point it out, but anyway.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Even mixed mix short king. You know, yeah, you're a short.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
King, but I haven't heard of mixed height relationships. If
someone's got a taller partner or shorter partner, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Just what it is exactly?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Anyway, the reason mixed weight is being talked about is
because of Bridgton. So you know, we love Bridgitton here,
but there's been a big ferrari and it's been made
a thing because of Penny and Colin's relationship. So you
will know Penny Featherington. She's the fuller figured woman on Bridgeston.
She's the absolute start. Everyone loves her and in fact,
(24:46):
she's embraced it so much that in her last interview
she did, she talked about her ample bosom perfect and.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
How wonderful they were.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
Colin.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Actually, as it turns out, he lost a bit of
weight from the last season to this season, so a
bit smaller than her, And so suddenly everyone is going,
oh wow, look at the mixed weight relationship. Now I
got a few issues with this one, because who cares. Secondly,
I feel like there's been a lot of mixed weight
relationships the reverse way for many, many years, where you
(25:18):
get a larger male, usually with a lot of money,
with a much slimmer woman and no one blinks an eyelids.
And so now suddenly the term mixed weight has come
about just because it's the woman that's larger.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
You know, you're where's this been for years?
Speaker 3 (25:34):
From these these these big, large, overturned, hairy backed guys
and there's tiny speedos on the yachts holding the phone
for the woman who's posing on the you know with
their friends' where.
Speaker 10 (25:43):
Is that with that?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
So if you are on social media, just watch out
for the rush, because apparently it's now being embraced, this term.
It's to being turned into a positive term where couples
are posing on social media alongside the hashtag hashtag mixed weight,
and it's meant to remove any bat's been around size
disparity in a loving relationship.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Well, I'm glad that's I'm glad that's a reason for
doing it.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
I also feel like the world's gone a bit mad
if we have to do that. But anyway.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Chases on coast because well here's what you do have
to do.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Those call us right, now on eight hundred double OW

for forty years and have helped us set up Tony's
book Club. And this week I'm really excited because you
mentioned it's a love story, and I love a good
love story.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Yeah. Can I just say I genuine really love paper Plass.
I was there with my kids actually over the last
weekend of the school holidays, and you go in and
you've got all the beautiful books, and I'm a massive
book lover, but you've.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
Also got such a big section of gifts as well. Yes,
so the kids go in.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
There and there's there was a little desk for them
to play and create things. As we were waiting, I
just feel like you can. You can really kill time
at a bookstore, is what I'm saying. You just don't
go and read the magazines like Jay stares that is
not allowed.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Also buy the magazines. But also, I don't know, this
might sound weird of me saying this. If you walk
in the it's the smell, the smell of the I
love it.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
There's something really nostalgic about it, and I love it anyway.
The book, the paper plass book I'm reviewing today is
called The Love of My Afterlife. The End of her
Life was just the beginning. It's by Kirsty Greenwood. I
loved this book.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
This is the kind of book that is me right
it is, and these are the notes I've written.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
It's a great light read. And when I say light,
I'm not saying light to take anything away from the
gravitas or the themes of the book. It's just easy
to read, and I think and at times like you're
busy and you want to read, but you don't have
time to really get arduous and think about it.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
This is the book for you.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
It's the book that you can pick up when you
have five minutes before you go to bed, and you
don't have to like go back five chapters because you've
forgotten what it's all about.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Now.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
You mentioned something that the end of your life was
just the beginning, so it's obviously to pass away, yes.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
And I don't I can say that to you because
it happens at the very beginning, and then the cover
literally tells you that. So the whole essence of the
book is a recently deceased woman finds the one in
the afterlife waiting room, then has ten days to find
him back on earth when they both get a second
chance at life.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
So at the very beginning, it kind of hits you
in the faces. You're like, what, she's dead, what do
you mean? What do you mean? But then it picks
up and what is the afterlife?
Speaker 1 (32:53):
And it kind of sounds weird and a bit supernatural,
but it really really isn't no.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
I love this and what this becomes is a real
love story.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
So this is a woman that hasn't experienced love before,
and she hasn't had many boyfriends, and she's had.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
A pretty bland, sad life.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Really well, she thinks it's a really sad life because
she doesn't have heaps friends, she's never had a boyfriend.
And then she suddenly had this amazing chemistry with this
person who's also died. Right, so they've both died and
they're in the afterlife in the waiting room. Then comes
a twist, and I'm not going to say entirely what happens,
but she has to try it. She loses this guy
(33:30):
and she has to try and get him back, and
that all happens in ten days. So it's a really
suspense driven book because of that as well. But I
just love I love the hopefulness of this book and
that you just don't know when you're ever going to
meet the person that you're meant to be with. I
really like that, and that's the theme throughout from the
very first page. You're going to be asking yourself as
(33:51):
she actually did. Well, of course she is, because we
know it's all about the afterlife. I love the creative
idea of the book.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
It's really it's.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Really clever because you've got the suspense, you've got the love,
and you've also reminding yourself that she's died.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
But this could be a great movie though.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Oh I think it could absolutely be to a movie.
It's a mass for anyone. I think that is a
sucker for a love story. So Jase, that's why I
think you'll like this book if you believe in chemistry
and you like to read about the sort of electric
chemistry between two people.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
I just I thought this book gave me the warm fuzzies.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
It really did. It's some universe stuff at the universe.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Yeah, and remember remember I will often say this, I
don't think I'm like massively into the supernatural. I love chemistry.
I believe there is an afterlife, and so that definitely
came into it. But this is probably not the afterlife
that anyone's imagined. For example, I don't know about you,
but I didn't think he even had a waiting room.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
You know, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
That's a good point.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
Yeah, I also want to read you just on the back.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Just a few things that people have said, so I
mentioned Colleen Hoover, who is one of the writers of
the moment. She said, she's got absolutely custy Greenwood has
a new fan in her.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
Every page will bring you joy. I had doiled it.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
This is joyful, uplifting and unpredictable, and I think that's
what I like about it. It's not a typical love
story that you think, I know how this is going
to end. I know how this is going to go.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
It's a dreamy love story. And someone I think who
summed it up.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Beautifully said, this is how to lose a guy in
ten Days meets ghost And if you liked either of those, yes,
I was obsessed with You're gonna love this book.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Oh okay, if you want a copy, just sicks the
word book to two six nine nine to get in
the draw. Well, you can head into your local paper
plus the th ort to grab a copy. But we
want to know this morning, what book made you emotional?
The book was so good you just couldn't put it down.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Yeah, what made you feel something, whether it was joy
or sadness. You know I've been known to cry during books.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Yeah, the Notebook got me and the movie got I
actually watched the movie then read the book.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
Yeah, it got me twice.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Jase also cried in the Wizard of Oz, so you know,
don't take that com mandatory. The Love of My Afterlife
is our paper book review today by Kirsty Greenwood.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
It's been described as How to Lose a Guy in
Ten Days meets Ghost. So if you liked either of
those two movies, then this book is absolutely for you.
But it was one of those books that gave you
the warm fuzzies in terms of the love story. And
I love it when a book makes you feel something,
whether it's love, whether it's it makes you emotional, whether
(36:20):
it makes you laugh, or it just makes you feel joyful.
And that is what we're asking today, Gary, what is
a book that has made you feel something?
Speaker 8 (36:30):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (36:31):
Yeah, with you tell us about your book, Gary, Well,

Speaker 6 (36:37):
Writer who lives in white heat.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
I think, and it's a three book series.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
Tamar is the first Pamar, but it was the White Feathers.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
The second book is the one that I really liked.
Speaker 7 (36:49):
Is regarding a story about this woman coming from England
life in New Zealand at the end of the eighteenth
Central in seventies, I think it was started until the
death after make you point.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
Oh wow, wow, I'm just trying to find great book.
Speaker 6 (37:10):
White Feathers is the second one, and I can't remember
the third one.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
So it came if you google those of your find
the wafs there.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
Yeah right, I'm actually looking at a Crown of Free
Feathers trilogy.
Speaker 7 (37:20):
Is that?
Speaker 5 (37:20):
What is that the one we're talking about here?
Speaker 3 (37:22):
I don't know, it would be sure actually driving the
rubbers truck at the moment and like thousand library at
home fair enough.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
Wow, that's impressive library.
Speaker 5 (37:33):
We can look up white Feathers, no problem. Thank you
for that. And what did it make you feel? Okay,
what did it make you feel?
Speaker 1 (37:42):
What was it was?

It said?
Speaker 6 (37:45):
Yeah, yeah, it was you know, the life of first
through the eighteen seventies through to the nineteen forties.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
And it was a real heart renting story. Okay, So
Tamar or White Feathers, I love it. Thanks so much
for that. Not what about you? What book made you
feel something? Tim?
Speaker 10 (38:02):
And it's by Colin McCulloch. It's a really old one
and it's a story of an old woman who falls
in love with a young, intellectually disabled guy. It was
made into a film years later, but the film wasn't
half as good as the book melcos in it anyway. Yeah,
(38:25):
it was called tim And what.
Speaker 5 (38:26):
Did it make you feel? What was the feeling you
got from it?
Speaker 10 (38:31):
Well, we just kind of talked about it was about love,
and it was about strength of character, and it was
about overcoming society's norms as well and being able to
live a life freely in the context of their relationship.
Speaker 5 (38:50):
Wow, that sounds really good.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
How would you, Nola, like to have a free copy
of our paper plass book today The Love of My
Afterlife to read next?
Speaker 10 (39:00):
Oh, thank you very much.
Speaker 5 (39:01):
That's lovely pleasure.
Speaker 4 (39:03):
Nicely.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Don't think you'll score a copy if you tax book
to two six, nine to nine, Or shouldn't your local
paper plus and grabs a copy from there?
Speaker 5 (39:09):
Either way?
Speaker 1 (39:10):
That White Feathers trilogy is by Deborah Chaloneur. If you
want to look it up or I want to talk
about your we need to talk about your alcohol consumption
now because we are in the final weeks of or
final week of dry July. And if you've managed to
completely stay off the alcohol for the whole of July,
well done, Like it's so awesome. And I can say
(39:33):
the last probably two or three weeks, two weeks I
haven't had a drop. Just before that was only very
minimal amounts. And you know, I've gone through different periods
of my life. I do like an alcoholic beverage from
time to time, particularly a full bodied pina noir or
a nice chili gin on a summer's day. But I
(39:53):
do think that our drinking can get away on us. Right.
If you need a drink at the end of the day,
it's probably not the healthiest thing. And that's why things
like dryge I've come about to try and help people
feel clearer. Look, it's not good on the wayside, either,
is it. And for some people it's a problem and
you act out and you do silly things. So I'm
here to say that pieri menopause can make it worse.
(40:16):
I know, I laugh because I'm like, women get a
raw deal with this sort of thing, don't they really do.
We're already getting the hot sweats, we're getting the brain fog.
In my case in particular, we had the sore knee joints.
Speaker 5 (40:29):
But also.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Anecdotally, we can now say that one in three women
say that in perimenopause they drink more alcohol as well. Really,
and I suspect it's probably to deal with those symptoms, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
Maybe it's more of it. You know what, I've earned
this and you sit on the couch after the dinner
and I've earned it.
Speaker 5 (40:49):
Yeah, yeah, maybe one and three is quite a lot.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
So we're talking perimenopause, and if you don't know what
that is, it's before you get your final period fever,
which is menopause.
Speaker 5 (40:58):
Right, and I'm I.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Started going through PEERI metaphorse it as a thirty nine
year old, right, most people don't until they're into their fifties.
But you could be like me and be someone that
went through early as well. So all I want to
say is I hear you, and I don't blame you
for wanting to have the odd drink, but if that
is you, I've had massive results from the HRT patches,
(41:20):
from having progesterone at night and newly on testosterone cream
as well, so it stopped all my joint pain and
now lo and behold, it's as big a surprise to
me as anyone.
Speaker 5 (41:30):
I'm not drinking as much.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
Well, there you go, well done, I'll rise as it'll
be water though, Tony.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Today on the show, we talked about being in a
mixed weight relationship. So we know these mixed race, there's
mixed height. Now mixed weight is a think because of
the link bridges.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
It also writing, do you still write things actually out,
like physically grab a pen in a bit of paper
or pencil and write things down?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
You should.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
We'll find out how common that is too. Sam away
until Monday. We're going to catch up with him though
in France before seven and on Henley from the Eagles
start seventy seven years old, so from birthdays to other
celebrations on Sam.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I wonder if he's going to see any of the
Olympics while he's in France. A good point, yeah, because
we're going to start talking about it in a big
way in the coming days. But to weddings now and
we've found this situation and I just wonder how often
this has happened. You know, I've seen the movie run
Away Bride with Julia Roberts. Remember she hops on a
horse runs from the ultar. That's literally on the day
(01:09):
of the wedding. But in this case, a woman has
said to her husband, no, I'm not going through with it.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
The wedding is off.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
This is four days out for one particular reason, and
that was he refused to see sign a prenuptial agreement.
Now I suspect I don't know the ins and outs
of this relationship, but I suspect that she maybe had
a considerable amount of money before she met him and
was trying to protect herself.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
And that's what a lot of modern day couples do.
I'd need to sign a prenup, did you d wasn't
anything to take from either of us. Made it very
simple when we got engaged at twenty four. But the
question this morning is did you call off the wedding
after getting engaged or did your partner?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
And what was the reason? What was the reason that
it got called off? Because it's a big call, isn't it.
Once you've got that sparkler on the finger to go, Actually,
this isn't happening. Even more of a big call if
you've already planned the wedding and the invitations have been sent.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Do you remember the golf of Rory McElroy did that?
Was it? Caroline? Was Yanke the tennis player?
Speaker 6 (02:09):
He did?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
The invitations had gone out and they were not long
to be married. And I think she'll be thinking in
lucky stars that happened because he's since divorced from that
woman that he did arry. That's right, and it's all
become quite bitter and nasty. So did you call it
off or did your partner? And what was the reason?
Maybe someone called it off because of this prenup thing.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Maybe that's what was the reason. Now eight hundred double
four Coast South phone number. Well for it takes to
two six nine nine, Or is.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
It wedding that you know about? Get called off? Why
tell us something happened on the way to the Oldhick?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Clearly, I was just thinking, we're in the depths of winter,
aren't we. July twenty third today and next month is
the last month of winter? Can you believe it? And
something to be positive about? Don't you dare give me
any stats on Christmas though Jays tomorrow. If you're getting
married at this time of year, in the middle of winter,
I nearly did. I'm a December wedding person. I got
(03:01):
married in December. But for a brief moment, I thought,
wouldn't it be nice to have a winter wedding and
have it all fairy lit with candles, just that really
romantic kind.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Of cozy vibe.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And then I got married in December and it was
pouring with rain the night before. Luckily it came out
fine the next day. But if you should keep married
in winter this time of year, I think it's a
good time because it's apparently cheaper.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
But did you go through with it.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
In the end, did you actually marry the person that
you said you were going to or did you get
cold feet and change your mind?
Speaker 5 (03:32):
And I think the.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Closer you get to your wedding, the clap and more
clarity you get right and people get cold feet for
a reason and say, actually, my gut is telling me
this isn't the right person.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
It's a bit cool. The person you're going to spend
the rest of your life with it is.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
And you were saying before, there's a woman who pulled
up in four days out from her wedding.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, and that was a very clinical reason. I suspect
she loved this person. But this person wouldn't sign a prenup,
and I think it was a case of if you
love me, you'll sign this, and if you're not going
to sign it, why aren't you? What's your innovation? And
I suspect he was saying, well, why do we need
a prenup?
Speaker 5 (04:03):
If you love.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Me, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yay?
Speaker 4 (04:07):
All it kicks on two six nine nine. Good. Hey
guys loving the show.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Please take your name call me Biggs all right, Becks
not your real name. Something happened to a friend of
mine who called who witting off after something happened at
her hens night in Queenstown. Oh, no going to details,
but I'm like, what happened there?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I don't think we need the details. I think we
know exactly what happened. Here's another example for you. So
friends of mine, this is only a couple of years ago.
We're traveling to Europe for a wedding and they, you know,
got grandparents to look after the kids, traveled over Europe
when they he was a groomsman. When they landed, they
pulled them aside and said, I'm sorry you've arrived in Europe,
(04:42):
but the wedding isn't happening because the bride to bee
had found out her husband had been cheating on her and.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
That was over.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Oh and so they've just arrived this wedding specifically, and
so they stayed and had a holiday, but a bit awkward.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Oh good times.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
I still like the.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Cheating thing is kind of like a given reason. But
the free nap, the pre nup takes the cake, that's weird.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Do you prefer winter or summer? On the text on
two six nine, I'm pretty split down the middle. Actually,
a couple of people saying winter and one boat really
not liking winter at all.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
This person is my spirit animal. On the text, I
was like, you are speaking to my soul. I hate
this winter. It's been so wet. Usually I enjoy winter,
but I'd like to say I prefer summer, and I'm
with you, it's been so wet.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I just regardless of the winter we're having, I always
prefer summer. I'd rather get my toes in the sand
rather than my feet cold in the snow.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Do you reckon?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
This is a big generalization for me, but do you
think the people that say winter are generally snow bunnies?
You know, ski and they snowboard, and see, I'm not
a skier, So then I'm like.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
What are the positives apart from you know.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
The roaring fire and all that. I get that you
can also turned into a hibernator. I don't really do much.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I'm way more social in summer.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
But anyway, apparently when because we're go like a week
left of July, it's cold and really most of the
country this week. I'm sure I'm not the only one
missing summer, but apparently when summer arrives, you've got to
be careful.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Shine showing the last begin everything on the.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
Sunshiny.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
So I suspect that you might have fallen victim to
sunshine guilt before. So sunshine guilt and it's become popular
with the younger generation.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Particularly on TikTok.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
So.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yes, you're inside and maybe you're you're on this particular
day a least, say you're really tired and you just
want to watch a movie, and then you look outside
your window and it's like this glorious blue sky day,
and you've got serious guilt that you're not making the
most of the day. And I think that could definitely
happen more in winter because there are so many gray,
(06:49):
wet days that when you do get a sunny one
you think, oh, I better get outside and do something.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
If you're far between, you got to do something with it. Yeah,
do you get that?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I do, especially when there are a lot of things
to do, like what I'm finding at the moment. Can't
get a washing dry. I don't want to use to
dry too much, and so that you try to hang
it in a place. It's like a laund from out
at the moment. And so you had a nice, fine day.
You feel guilty that I should be outside doing something,
but I'm inside trying to get the laundry done.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Jason just can't get the washing done. I just can't
get the first world problems.
Speaker 8 (07:14):
Do you know what?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I actually don't think I have sunshine gilt all that much.
I feel like I need to pin a new term, right,
a reverse term for that, because I get I feel
like I'm in the elements all bloody winter, because I
every single week I go to two netble trainings. I
go to two netball games and sometimes a tournament. Now
that's potentially five times out in whatever conditions they throw
(07:37):
at me. And on the weekend I was in torrential
rain at the netple Courts on a Sunday and my
last day of leave, going what is my life?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
So what's that reverse? If it's not sign shine gilt,
it's rain anger.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Rage, rain, rage, rain, rain, rain.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Rage, Screw the Sunshine Girl, I got rain.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Raye cash My back to when you were younger and
there was a movie that came. It was a movie
A it was a movie. It's a really freaky movie
with one word.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
It's actually a It started as a book by Roald
Dahl and was turned into a movie called Witches.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
So with asked tat tweety two year old producer Rosie
to watch this. We do this every Tuesday with a
Rosies review. Rosie, what did you think a freaky as
we remember?
Speaker 9 (08:17):
Well, I've gone through and written down my live thoughts
as I was watching that again. And first off, for
a movie that's made for children about children literally getting kidnapped.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
And murdered, what the heck terrifying?
Speaker 9 (08:35):
As a four or five year old, imagine watching that.
That would just scare the living day lights out of me.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I don't think it was made specifically for four or
five year old, but I think it was a children's
book by Roald Dahl, and he usually aims at what
about eight to ten years old.
Speaker 9 (08:49):
Well, and I loved wrote dull books growing up, especially
the Witch's Book, and I didn't even know that it
was made into a movie. And they have made the
new movie as well, which again I haven't seen, so
I do really want to watch after watching this. But
the actress playing the lead with uh sorry, playing the
lead witch, Angelica Houston Houston is so creepy in the
best way possible, and I firstly thought that she was
(09:12):
an incredible actress to be playing that. And mister Beaners
in the movie as well, Oh yeah, and the stuff
for us.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
It's the only.
Speaker 9 (09:21):
Person that I can see him as I don't even
know what's his actual name.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
All I can see him is.
Speaker 9 (09:27):
Mister bean Anyways, the actual movie, I was not expecting
them to look as disgusting as they did. It was
actually just I couldn't.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
I could not pretty epic special effects for that era, and.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
I almost think movies today so say it. For example,
the movie It, the special effects are so intense that
it's almost not realistic.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Yes, I still have not watched it, either the one
that came out of the nineties or the most recent one,
because I'm terrified that even the thought of that, so
I won't watch it.
Speaker 9 (09:58):
Yeah, well, whereas I think this will fix in this movie,
they're not done on a computer, right, They're done by
a makeup artists.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
But it's almost scarier that way.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
So the new one you knows with Anne Hathaway, right,
and she's she plays like Houston's character, and I don't
think she would do it as I did. You see
the part of the movie when they literally push a
baby's praym over a cliff.
Speaker 9 (10:21):
So terri so bad, and the way she does it
as well, she goes up to the baby and she's
looking into the crib like, oh, sweet little baby down
the hill.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
So I'm taking from this really impacted you, and I
think it really dead effect.
Speaker 9 (10:34):
There was one scene in particular where they turn the
children into the mice Jace.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
You have the audio there.
Speaker 10 (10:43):
And they're all, oh, it was.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I that is so torturous to children. I totally agree.
But I have to say I would watch it again
just to freak yourselves out. I think you should show
you your kids the movie.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
I'm definitely showing my eleven year oldster.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Begg out of teim what do you do it?
Speaker 5 (11:07):
I'd give it a.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Now mate Sam has actually been away for a wee while.
He's been on holiday with his family, his mum and dad,
his sister and brother in law and all the kids.
It's a family trip of a lifetime. They've made their
way through Italy, the mon through Turkey and Greece, but
now they're in France.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I know the place, the sight of the Olympics, and
I don't know if you saw this picture and maybe
we can share this on the Coast Breakfast Instagram page.
Did you see the Eiffel Tower all this up with
the Olympic rings? Beautiful and how the moon played its
part and went exactly behind the central ring. I don't
know if they planned it that way. I don't know
if you can play that sort of stuff with the moon.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Especially because all the lights on the Eiffel Tower flash,
so it's really hard to get a nice mooteo of
the Eiffel Tower.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Pa.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
It was so good and right now as I speak,
I'm actually just downloading the Olympic Games app. If you
go into your app store and look for Paris to
twenty four, you gotta get it because it gives you
the schedule and you can filter it so you can
see exactly when the Kiwi athletes are.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
It's so good competing, you can see metal tables.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
It's just so much easier because remember we start this
week before the opening ceremony on Saturday.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
I hope Sam gets to soak in some of us
while he's there.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Imagine so.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
And apparently the view from the Affel Tel you look
down onto the Olympic village and it looks amazing right there.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
So I mate, Sam is in France.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
Guys from the south of France, where a nice I
didn't even know.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
That we were coming here.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
You've got to be across the schedules.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
So we are just about to leave the shore on
the tender to head back to our cruise ship on
well after the greatest day I think of the entire trip.
Niece is beautiful, man like, we're just about to leave.
In fact, Graham Heart's got his boat just parked out
in the harbor, just here with his support ship with
a helicopter on it.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
So there's other Keywi's here. What a day as well.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
We went to Monaco and we went around the track
for the Monaco Grand Prix. In fact, it's quite funny
because our bust stopped at the start line and we
did the slowest start ever for the Monaco Grand Prix
in a shuttle bus, so it was like on your marks,
gets at the people tuning behind because we stopped on
pretty much a main street, go and it was like
(13:15):
big clouded diesel, but off we went. Me and Dad
were grinning like cheshire cats, so that was really cool.
Then we went to a medieval castle on the top
of a hell called Ears.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Now you have to google it.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
The most beautiful spot that.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
We've seen in the entire time, tiny little narrow lanes
once again, but at this time on the top of
a hell, and when you get to the top of
the hell you can look out across across Nice as well,
with the best views you've ever seen, and oddly enough,
with a weird.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Collection of cactuses. And then we hit the beaches for
a swim, but we didn't bring our.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
Togs, so the whole New Zealand clan got in their
undeath and they swum the shores of Nice on a
very people's stony beach, which is excruciatingly painful but very refreshing.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
The South of France is my place.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
I miss you, I wish you were here.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I can't wait to get home kind.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Of Thanks for listening to the Feel Good Breakfast catch
Up podcast with Costs, Tony Street, Jace Reeves, and Sam Wallas.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I want you to think back now to when you
were studying for your school exams. That's assuming you actually
did do some study, because for many of us it
was sort of a chor, wasn't it. It was like, oh,
I'm better go study. How did you come up with
and remember things? And I remember I was a little
bit of a study nerd. I used to like to
have things very much in order, and I would do
diagrams and make up songs and ditties to remember things.
(14:36):
But one thing I absolutely did was I wrote everything
down and made notes. And I remember thinking if I
hadn't written all these notes out for every single subject,
I was definitely going to fail.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
I was a geek too.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah, so you were using pen and paper, right, And
I think we didn't really have a choice because computers
were a thing, but not as much of a thing
where you were constantly.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Typing, So we were forced to write.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
And it turns out you were the lucky ones because
it has been scientifically proven that if you physically write
something on a piece of paper or on a whiteboard,
you are ten times more likely to remember it than
if you just type it on laptop or a keyboard
ten times ten times.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
I believe that because I've got you know me, I've
got the old school paper diary, and I write everything
in my diary and often I don't have to look
back at it because I remember it.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Actually, you're so right. It's just the act of writing
into your brain. So if you've got children or grandchildren
that are studying for any form of exams or things
that they want to remember, geez, I've got a daughter
that's about to play Matilda, and I'm thinking maybe she
needs to write out the whole script so that she
can remember them. I just found this fascinating because then
I thought to myself, what do I still write? No,
(15:44):
wonder my memories bad. I don't think of writing anything
down these days. I'll write down like you jays. I'll
write down the grocery list. Yes, And I get really
grumpy when my husband doesn't, because he's like, I'm just
remembering it.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
I'm like, how are you remembering that our psalt is
run out?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Don't you walk in again? I'll I'll confusion. I'm looking
at Oh, where are I supposed to be? Oh that's right, bread,
not I supposed to onions?
Speaker 9 (16:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Oh no, And you need the clarity of the fact
that you've written it down. But I'm trying to think
what else I write? I will write my netball notes
for practices, okay as a coach.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
See that's good, you write that down.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I'm going to tax from Pipper on two six nine
nine says he writes a to do list for her husband.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
We call it this honey do list. Honey do this,
Honey do that?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Oh my gosh, I need to start that because my
husband doesn't write it down, and then when I ask
him things he's forgotten.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
I'm like, it's cause you didn't write it down.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
But I don't know if I've got the capacity to
write my to do list and my husband's And when
Sam comes back, probably his two.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeah, probably yeah. So do you still write things down?
What are you writing down? We'd love to hear your story.
I wait, one hundred double four Coast South phone number.
Write that down if you need to, or I see
it's hext to two six nine nine.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
What are you writing at? We're asking about the things
you were writing.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Down, because the reason you should be writing things down
is you remember them ten times more than if you
type them.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
I love this.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
We've had a text from a florist and this warms
my heart. And she said, we handwrite all the cards
at work. It's nice to have handwritten messages with flowers.
Floris do that, so quite often if you've seen flowers,
it'll be a typed out note. So I love the
idea of someone actually putting pin to the card. It
adds that personal touch.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
And often floriess have way nicer writing than I'll ever have, so.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
I know it's all squiggling telegraphy.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Another one has said, a good morning, Coast team, I
wrote down my grocery shopping in my documents app. So
I don't forget things now when she sees right down,
is she meaning typing in the documents? Does she have
one of those fancy phones that have that pin on
the side and you still technically writing?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
You know, he can write things down and take a
photo of it and it becomes part of your document app.
There you true that you know that the text to
write whatever it is, Daniel, what are you writing down?
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (17:49):
I write down my to do list. I would be
locked without it. And I've got a little key, so
you know, if I don't do something, it gets like
a little different to tomorrow's symbol. And if I do it,
it's a check. But also my diary, so I need
a physical diary so.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
I can write it down.
Speaker 10 (18:03):
Otherwise it's gone, it's forgotten.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I'm exactly the same as you, Daniel. I have to
write it in my diary.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I am too, and I suspect knowing you Dan yell,
you just like me with your stationary you want pretty
pens books. Absolutely, yeah, we are one of the same person.
There's something so nice about fresh stationery.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
I have to say, Suri, what are you writing down?
Speaker 8 (18:27):
I do? I do the usual grocery list and everything
and put the rubbish out, but I also write inspirational
quotes on whiteboards on the fridge, and also little little
messages to the kids and stuff.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
You know.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
I hope your days are as amazing as you are.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Oh sure, are you one of those mums that puts
some in the lunchboxes because I love that.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
No, my kids do, they put They put little messages
in my bag for me.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
While I.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Love your family and you've just sparked. The whiteboard thing
has sparked in me. I have a giant whiteboard planner,
and that still counts because I'm getting those whiteboard markets
out and I have different colors for every child, all.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
These little post notes around for my wife and kids
down again.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, so a lot of lists taking here. I wonder
if anyone's actually writing anything.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
I'm a school teacher and this is my sixtieth year
of teaching. Teaching handwriting is one of the skills that
we had to do in the sixties, seventies and eighties,
and I still maintain that ability to write. I do
(19:39):
family diaries for my siblings. I'd let her write keep
a diary of everyday the activities that I do. And
when I'm a relieving teacher SOMEMA or college, and I
have recommended by the students about my start of handwriting.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I bet congratulations on teaching for so long and having
those great values too, because I totally agree with you,
and I think there is something too putting pen to
paper and the neural pathways that you know make your
brain one remember, but two it's just great for your function.
I think as a child and as adults someone's just
saying they're currently doing a cross word.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
That counts as right.
Speaker 10 (20:23):
Sure what.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Lil was saying, you're right.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I got a letter in the post and I was
thrilled until I open it. I was thrilled the other
day because I've got a leader in the post and
it wasn't a written outlet of it.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
I was like, Oh, what is this, have a full
name and everything on it.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
It's probably just a bill.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I get that excitement too, and you get disappointed when
it's cited my bank saying here's your statement.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
I was thinking the same thing, use my full name,
and I was like, what is this and open it up.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
It wasn't a bill that There's a big logo on
the top left corner, the police logo, and it's a
letter saying that.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
I've been accused of something. Now this is the second
time this sort of stuffs happened to me in your
life recently, last few months. So something's going on and
I don't know what.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
So the letter says that I ran a red light
and I've been I've been dobbed and by a member
of the public, and it says if they make a
further complaint, we're gonna have to investigate in criminal charges.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
My follow the letter, Did you run a red light? No?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
And here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
No, I wouldn't do that, but well not that I
know of. But also it sees where I was driving.
I was nowhere near that suburb that day at that time. Like,
I don't drive that part, not that it's a dodgy part,
but I just don't go to the suburb. The judge
of that, it's you, that's where I'm.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Supposed to be, right, But this was not where I
said the car was.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
You don't strike me as a running a red light
kind of guy. But if someone's seen you, they've seen you,
and you're getting a letter.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
That was.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Through my diary. Was I supposed to be this? No,
I wasn't. It was like about eleven in the.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Morning one day, a week day, and I looked at
the diary and I knew that we were in a
planning meeting on that Thursday, So I couldn't have even
been there.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Case.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
We all know our attendance at those training meetings aren't regular.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
You know, I've always those meetings. But this is the
second time something like this has happened the last few months.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
What else has happened.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Okay, So we to a petrol station, right, and I
pulled in there and I went in there to prepay,
and the guys that I know, we can't save you fuel? Like,
what is that that vehicle has been involved in a
drive off?
Speaker 5 (22:22):
What?
Speaker 9 (22:23):
What? Now?
Speaker 3 (22:24):
This is a petrol station I hardly ever go to
because we fill up at Costco. We've got a Costco
card and it's cheap of fuel. So it's way off
the motorway and that's where I got to fill up
both our cars.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Let's just let me get this straight.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
So within the space of the last month, Yes, you
have been accused by a member of the public and
sent a letter from the police for running a red light.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Yes, and now you're not paying your petrol.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
This is what they said.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Now are you okay? Maybe who else drives your car?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
So this is what I'm thinking. So I said to Louise,
where have you been? Baby? She's well, no, because I
had the car on the roa.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Did you go where have you been? Or did you
go where have you been?
Speaker 10 (23:03):
Babe?
Speaker 3 (23:05):
It doesn't matter how I asked the question, but I
was like, could you have been could this have been ususe?
Speaker 5 (23:09):
No?
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Because again.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
I had the car on that Thursday nowhere near this
red light. But someone has stopped us. And now I'm
thinking to myself, this person's got the wrong number plate.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Easy to do. But the petrol station Rickons is a
drive off.
Speaker 7 (23:19):
No.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
I asked to see the screen because he had a
photo on the screen. He said, no, it's the number plate.
Can I see the screen?
Speaker 9 (23:25):
No?
Speaker 4 (23:25):
I can't show you the screen.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
I suspect most people that engage in criminal activity have
foggy memories too.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
That's all I'm going to say, Jason. I mean one
incident we could explain away to it. Incidents. I'm starting
to worry.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Anyway, No, good lawyal, what's the outcome here is I'm
gonna have to call the police and go I think
someone else has got another plate.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Or you should just confess, say lock me up. I
am the Coast criminal.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
No, not guilty, you're on.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
We need to talk about the latest term that is
going viral on social media, and it is called mixed
weight relationships.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Now you might not have heard that before. I mean,
we hear of mixed race, don't we.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
And that's been happening for many, many years, and I
quite Frankly, I don't know how why people have to
point it out, but anyway.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Even mixed mix short king. You know, yeah, you're a short.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
King, but I haven't heard of mixed height relationships. If
someone's got a taller partner or shorter partner, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Just what it is exactly?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Anyway, the reason mixed weight is being talked about is
because of Bridgton. So you know, we love Bridgitton here,
but there's been a big ferrari and it's been made
a thing because of Penny and Colin's relationship. So you
will know Penny Featherington. She's the fuller figured woman on Bridgeston.
She's the absolute start. Everyone loves her and in fact,
(24:46):
she's embraced it so much that in her last interview
she did, she talked about her ample bosom perfect and.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
How wonderful they were.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
Colin.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Actually, as it turns out, he lost a bit of
weight from the last season to this season, so a
bit smaller than her, And so suddenly everyone is going,
oh wow, look at the mixed weight relationship. Now I
got a few issues with this one, because who cares. Secondly,
I feel like there's been a lot of mixed weight
relationships the reverse way for many, many years, where you
(25:18):
get a larger male, usually with a lot of money,
with a much slimmer woman and no one blinks an eyelids.
And so now suddenly the term mixed weight has come
about just because it's the woman that's larger.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
You know, you're where's this been for years?
Speaker 3 (25:34):
From these these these big, large, overturned, hairy backed guys
and there's tiny speedos on the yachts holding the phone
for the woman who's posing on the you know with
their friends' where.
Speaker 10 (25:43):
Is that with that?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
So if you are on social media, just watch out
for the rush, because apparently it's now being embraced, this term.
It's to being turned into a positive term where couples
are posing on social media alongside the hashtag hashtag mixed weight,
and it's meant to remove any bat's been around size
disparity in a loving relationship.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Well, I'm glad that's I'm glad that's a reason for
doing it.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
I also feel like the world's gone a bit mad
if we have to do that. But anyway.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Chases on coast because well here's what you do have
to do.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Those call us right, now on eight hundred double OW

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Me in space and like lights and all that. Oh,

So anyway, we play again for one thousand, two hundred
dollars tomorrow with ninety stores and over three hundred thousand
products online. Paper Plast has been loved by Keywis for
for forty years and have helped us set up Tony's
book Club. And this week I'm really excited because you
mentioned it's a love story, and I love a good
love story.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Yeah. Can I just say I genuine really love paper Plass.
I was there with my kids actually over the last
weekend of the school holidays, and you go in and
you've got all the beautiful books, and I'm a massive
book lover, but you've.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
Also got such a big section of gifts as well. Yes,
so the kids go in.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
There and there's there was a little desk for them
to play and create things. As we were waiting, I
just feel like you can. You can really kill time
at a bookstore, is what I'm saying. You just don't
go and read the magazines like Jay stares that is
not allowed.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Also buy the magazines. But also, I don't know, this
might sound weird of me saying this. If you walk
in the it's the smell, the smell of the I
love it.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
There's something really nostalgic about it, and I love it anyway.
The book, the paper plass book I'm reviewing today is
called The Love of My Afterlife. The End of her
Life was just the beginning. It's by Kirsty Greenwood. I
loved this book.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
This is the kind of book that is me right
it is, and these are the notes I've written.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
It's a great light read. And when I say light,
I'm not saying light to take anything away from the
gravitas or the themes of the book. It's just easy
to read, and I think and at times like you're
busy and you want to read, but you don't have
time to really get arduous and think about it.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
This is the book for you.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
It's the book that you can pick up when you
have five minutes before you go to bed, and you
don't have to like go back five chapters because you've
forgotten what it's all about.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Now.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
You mentioned something that the end of your life was
just the beginning, so it's obviously to pass away, yes.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
And I don't I can say that to you because
it happens at the very beginning, and then the cover
literally tells you that. So the whole essence of the
book is a recently deceased woman finds the one in
the afterlife waiting room, then has ten days to find
him back on earth when they both get a second
chance at life.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
So at the very beginning, it kind of hits you
in the faces. You're like, what, she's dead, what do
you mean? What do you mean? But then it picks
up and what is the afterlife?
Speaker 1 (32:53):
And it kind of sounds weird and a bit supernatural,
but it really really isn't no.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
I love this and what this becomes is a real
love story.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
So this is a woman that hasn't experienced love before,
and she hasn't had many boyfriends, and she's had.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
A pretty bland, sad life.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Really well, she thinks it's a really sad life because
she doesn't have heaps friends, she's never had a boyfriend.
And then she suddenly had this amazing chemistry with this
person who's also died. Right, so they've both died and
they're in the afterlife in the waiting room. Then comes
a twist, and I'm not going to say entirely what happens,
but she has to try it. She loses this guy
(33:30):
and she has to try and get him back, and
that all happens in ten days. So it's a really
suspense driven book because of that as well. But I
just love I love the hopefulness of this book and
that you just don't know when you're ever going to
meet the person that you're meant to be with. I
really like that, and that's the theme throughout from the
very first page. You're going to be asking yourself as
(33:51):
she actually did. Well, of course she is, because we
know it's all about the afterlife. I love the creative
idea of the book.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
It's really it's.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Really clever because you've got the suspense, you've got the love,
and you've also reminding yourself that she's died.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
But this could be a great movie though.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Oh I think it could absolutely be to a movie.
It's a mass for anyone. I think that is a
sucker for a love story. So Jase, that's why I
think you'll like this book if you believe in chemistry
and you like to read about the sort of electric
chemistry between two people.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
I just I thought this book gave me the warm fuzzies.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
It really did. It's some universe stuff at the universe.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Yeah, and remember remember I will often say this, I
don't think I'm like massively into the supernatural. I love chemistry.
I believe there is an afterlife, and so that definitely
came into it. But this is probably not the afterlife
that anyone's imagined. For example, I don't know about you,
but I didn't think he even had a waiting room.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
You know, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
That's a good point.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
Yeah, I also want to read you just on the back.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Just a few things that people have said, so I
mentioned Colleen Hoover, who is one of the writers of
the moment. She said, she's got absolutely custy Greenwood has
a new fan in her.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
Every page will bring you joy. I had doiled it.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
This is joyful, uplifting and unpredictable, and I think that's
what I like about it. It's not a typical love
story that you think, I know how this is going
to end. I know how this is going to go.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
It's a dreamy love story. And someone I think who
summed it up.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Beautifully said, this is how to lose a guy in
ten Days meets ghost And if you liked either of those, yes,
I was obsessed with You're gonna love this book.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Oh okay, if you want a copy, just sicks the
word book to two six nine nine to get in

It's been described as How to Lose a Guy in
Ten Days meets Ghost. So if you liked either of
those two movies, then this book is absolutely for you.
But it was one of those books that gave you
the warm fuzzies in terms of the love story. And
I love it when a book makes you feel something,
whether it's love, whether it's it makes you emotional, whether

Speaker 10 (38:02):
And it's by Colin McCulloch. It's a really old one
and it's a story of an old woman who falls
in love with a young, intellectually disabled guy. It was
made into a film years later, but the film wasn't
half as good as the book melcos in it anyway. Yeah,
(38:25):
it was called tim And what.
Speaker 5 (38:26):
Did it make you feel? What was the feeling you
got from it?
Speaker 10 (38:31):
Well, we just kind of talked about it was about love,
and it was about strength of character, and it was
about overcoming society's norms as well and being able to
live a life freely in the context of their relationship.
Speaker 5 (38:50):
Wow, that sounds really good.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
How would you, Nola, like to have a free copy

Speaker 5 (39:01):

Speaker 4 (39:03):

Speaker 3 (39:03):
Don't think you'll score a copy if you tax book
to two six, nine to nine, Or shouldn't your local
paper plus and grabs a copy from there?
Speaker 5 (39:09):
Either way?
Speaker 1 (39:10):
That White Feathers trilogy is by Deborah Chaloneur. If you
want to look it up or I want to talk
about your we need to talk about your alcohol consumption
now because we are in the final weeks of or
final week of dry July. And if you've managed to
completely stay off the alcohol for the whole of July,
well done, Like it's so awesome. And I can say
(39:33):
the last probably two or three weeks, two weeks I
haven't had a drop. Just before that was only very
minimal amounts. And you know, I've gone through different periods
of my life. I do like an alcoholic beverage from
time to time, particularly a full bodied pina noir or
a nice chili gin on a summer's day. But I
(39:53):
do think that our drinking can get away on us. Right.
If you need a drink at the end of the day,
it's probably not the healthiest thing. And that's why things
like dryge I've come about to try and help people
feel clearer. Look, it's not good on the wayside, either,
is it. And for some people it's a problem and
you act out and you do silly things. So I'm
here to say that pieri menopause can make it worse.
(40:16):
I know, I laugh because I'm like, women get a
raw deal with this sort of thing, don't they really do.
We're already getting the hot sweats, we're getting the brain fog.
In my case in particular, we had the sore knee joints.
Speaker 5 (40:29):
But also.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Anecdotally, we can now say that one in three women
say that in perimenopause they drink more alcohol as well. Really,
and I suspect it's probably to deal with those symptoms, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
Maybe it's more of it. You know what, I've earned
this and you sit on the couch after the dinner
and I've earned it.
Speaker 5 (40:49):
Yeah, yeah, maybe one and three is quite a lot.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
So we're talking perimenopause, and if you don't know what
that is, it's before you get your final period fever,
which is menopause.
Speaker 5 (40:58):
Right, and I'm I.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Started going through PEERI metaphorse it as a thirty nine
year old, right, most people don't until they're into their fifties.
But you could be like me and be someone that
went through early as well. So all I want to
say is I hear you, and I don't blame you
for wanting to have the odd drink, but if that
is you, I've had massive results from the HRT patches,
(41:20):
from having progesterone at night and newly on testosterone cream
as well, so it stopped all my joint pain and
now lo and behold, it's as big a surprise to
me as anyone.
Speaker 5 (41:30):
I'm not drinking as much.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
Well, there you go, well done, I'll rise as it'll
be water though, Tony.
