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 Shut podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Today on the show, we talked about the latest in
Ozimpic without Sam here. We needed to update it and
we asked you whether you think it should be used
for weight loss as well as diabetes.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Also the Olympic updates. Someone has already been sent home shockingly.
How old is she and what was she doing? That's
going to shock you even more?
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Can call.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
This shocked us this research because Jason and I are
definitely not in this camp. But it turns out that
one in ten ossies will not get new in front
of the pit.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
The dog looking at them apparently apparently.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
Sometimes I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I've looked Beer has looked at me, not necessarily when
I'm naked, but he's looked at me with judgmental eyes.
Maybe when I'm going to eat something I shouldn't and
I've gone, are you clocking what's happening right now? You
know I have because I think my dog's are very special.
Dog sat a very very smart power.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Oh yeah, see my dog Tid, He's like my little shadow.
So I walked down the end of the house and
he's like the shadow. And so I'll be in the
bathroom and here we are waiting on the bed, and
it's waiting for me, will sit outside the door. Sometimes
I'm just just san.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
All I'm gonna say is I'm definitely getting least judgment
from my avoodle than I am from my children. Right,
And actually that's a topic for another day. Whether you're
happy to be dood in front of your kids. I am,
because I read somewhere once that it's really healthy for
them to be comfortable in their bodies.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Actually that's a good I think I am opportunity covering
what don't see, we don't look.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
I'll make a game of it.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
But we've had this debate before all over what at
what age is it okay? You know, particularly if you've
got a daughter and you've got it like the dad. True,
that's a debate for another day. All I'm saying is
I think we're fine with the dog. I mean, what, well,
why wouldn't you?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I'm okay, what's.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
The dog gonna do?
Speaker 6 (02:19):
Like, I don't know, one in.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Ten ozsies won't keep need in front of the dog.
How do New Zealanders compare though? Honestly call, if you've
got a pit, are you happy to be neude in
front of your pit?
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Because some people imagine, no, they're not killing there?
Speaker 5 (02:29):
And is it because you think the dog's judging you?
Like you need to be working out more?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Honestly called, if you've got a pit, are you okay
being need in front of that pit?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Six us or not? To two? Six nine nine?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
If we get T and t X to see if
one of them is no, because apparently in Australia one
and ten ossies are not keen to be newed in
front of their dog.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
How do keepes compee?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Let's find out one and ten Australians have come out
over the weekend saying they will not get nude in
front of their pit.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Do you know this is interesting? A little bit of
a link to Joe Biden and cats. So he in
the last few years has gone vegan. But he used
to be the biggest meat eater you would ever know,
Like he would sit down apparently and he could smash
ten chops in one sitting and then had a massive
change of heart because his heart was no good. Now
he's gone vegan and a lot of people think it's
(03:17):
for animal protection reasons, but actually it was just because
he didn't want to have art attacks.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
So we're asking the question how the New Zealanders campep
with Australians. So far on the text on two six
ninety nine, every single person's is that no problem with that?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Helen? What about you?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
No?
Speaker 7 (03:31):
Definitely not, nope, nope.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Tell us about your pet?
Speaker 7 (03:35):
So I have two dogs and a cat, and I
think they look at me like I look at those
hairless ts, like ooh, where is your fur?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
They look at me like I actually think our pet
probably does the same. But because he can't talk back
at me, I'm like, well, what are you to do?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
So you're no problem with that? Thank you for that, Helen.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Most people on the text, with every single text on
two six nine nine, he's then from with it.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
So Helen's the only person that wouldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
If you haven't heard the news already, President Joe Biden
has stepped down from the presidential race, so he's walking
away from that. He's still gonna be the president though,
and he's going to stick around just concentrat on being
the president for the next few months.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
But that is it. He will not contest the election anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
No, and so he's put out a couple of big statements,
and I'll just give you a little once over of
what he said. I've the past three and a half years,
we've made great progress as a nation. Today America has
the strongest economy in the world. So he's sort of
a landmarking all the things he's done. He's talked about
passing the first gun safety law in thirty years, appointing
the first African American woman to the Supreme Court, and
(04:41):
passed the most significant climate legislation in the history of
the world. America has never been better positioned to lead
the world then today. So then he goes on to
say that the economic downturn has affected things and essentially
has then said, look, I'm for me, just for the
best thing for the country. Asked for me to stand
down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president
(05:03):
for the remainder of my term and not be distracted
from that.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Interesting, so they're saying that his vice president, Kamala Harris
is now the lead contended to take the presidential race. However,
that's not sitting stone either. So someone else could come.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Out and know we they could remember Joe Biden's eighty
one Just remember that, you know, like that, that's a big,
big thing to have to then go again, you know,
is it.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Now time to pick up the phone and called Michelle Obama? Wow?
Imagine that.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Well, the problem you have is Vice President Kamala Harris
is apparently not very popular. So she was initially when
Joe Biden got into power and a lot of people
were saying, oh, she would have been really good, but
over his term her numbers of dwindled.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
So what about all these celebrities to say one day
I'll run for president?
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Is the Rock going to run for presidency?
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Now?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Is George Clooney going to run for president? What happened? Then?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I'm glad Biden's given Kamala Harris as full support. But
watch this space to see, no doubt the polls will
be going crazy in the States to see whether she
can pull this together.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
And a short few months, well I happened.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
In New Zealand and we were just thinking about doing
excise me just doing.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
That it before the elections.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
She did in less time.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
And less times the space. Hey, if you getting ready,
run about now we were saying before the put the
hair dry down because apparently there's something new for the hair.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Well.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I actually thought of Sam when I saw this news
because he basically used to have a perm when he
was at high school. He prides himself on having the
long like Tarzan Maine, and perms are the new mullet apparently,
So I'm actually really glad the mullet's gone. And I hate,
I hate to say this, but I actually think a
perm would be better than a mullet, even though a
(06:36):
perm gives me anxiety because you know why, when I
was at when I was about twelve or thirteen, my
mum decided that I needed some umph in the front
of my hair, so she permed my fringe and that
was it. That's not the rest of my hair. So
I had a curly fringe and straight here, which is
basically a mullet mullet.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Yeah, you know, it looked amazing.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
So that's so if you getting really run about now,
I just think you so the next here style you get,
go for the perm's like that old instant Ki we had,
get a perm, get a perm, per a perm heys
over the weekend. This caught my over the weekend. It
was the fifty fifth anniversary of the moon landing over
the weekend. So they did that back in July nineteen
sixty nine.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I don't remember they No, I wasn't there, but I
don't even know them saying this.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Was so fifty fifth anniversary. No one's been back to
the Moon since nineteen seventy two, And I thought, well why,
And I read this article over the weekend of it
why people won't go back? Apparent it's all on the cost.
So back in nineteen sixty nine, the first moon mission
cost three hundred and fifty to five million dollars, which
is the equivalent to thirty eight billion dollars today.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
So hang on a minute.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
So the first guys went to the Moon in sixty nine,
and no one's been back since seventy two?
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Was last time people stood on the moon? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (07:44):
I thought people had been since then.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Yeah, no, not since nineteen seventy two.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
They go to space, but not specifically.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
They don't get out and start wandering around on the Moon.
That's what they've sent, like the explorers around. But to
send the person to the Moon, like I said, back
in nineteen sixty nine, it cost three hundred and fifty
five million dollars today, it would cost twenty eight billion
dollars at least. Wow, So so this equivalent sorry a
three billion to day back then ee, it would be
twenty eight billion dollars to send someone to the moon.
(08:12):
And as you know, there are other things we can
spend money on.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Well, these times are tight even for people that go
to the moon. But I tell you what, not tight
enough not to get a perm And I think when
Sam gets back, that should be a mission no offense, Jase.
I think it's going to be hard to perm your here.
And this is perms for men, by the way, because
women have been getting perm since forever, but this is
specifically for men. And I reckon that should be Sam's
first challenge on his return. The permit gives you more volume,
(08:36):
that's what he always wants.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Coasts Feel Good Breakfast catch up podcast with Tony Street,
Jays Reeves, and Sam Wallace.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Tony and I are.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Back after the holidays, but one of us is still
on holiday at the moment.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Doesn't it feel like Samy's been away for an eternity?
And with every really puts up on social media, we
shed another tear and looks magna, doesn't it. He's been
all over Europe, and if you've got anyone, any friend
or associate that's in Europe at the moment, you will
see it all because they're plastering it on Instagram and
we're living vicariously through him.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
So Sam's over there with his family at the moment,
as his mom and dad of there, his sister, brother
in law, all the kids there as well. It's a
family trip and once in a lifetime trip. Sam has
come to us from one of the most famous places
in the world.
Speaker 8 (09:25):
We are in Telmina, which is in Messina, which is
at the bottom of the top of the shoe of Italy.
Speaker 9 (09:32):
We've just arrived by boat today.
Speaker 8 (09:33):
It is probably the most beautiful place you've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
His massive ampitheaters.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
I'm literally walking through the streets right now, those tightly
knit lanes, all ancient ruins, surrounded some of the best
shopping we've found so far. But more importantly, ladies and gentlemen,
it is the place where our favorite program has filmed
what's it calling your Mum White Lotus and mums come
dress exactly like the white Lotus and she's been looking
(10:00):
for for gay males to be taken onto some kind.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Of cruise ship. And oh, just a little bit of information.
Speaker 8 (10:07):
If you want to go to the hotel now to
have a drink, because you know, it used to be
you sitt them and have a drink. Now it's fifty
euros just to walk on the door and have a look.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
And how much was it to have lunch?
Speaker 8 (10:18):
Two thousand euros or something?
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Fifty euros for a drink a drink, but wasn't like
a thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
I didn't listen.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Mom didn't listen. She gets that.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
From me, And yeah, so I think it was like
a thousand or two thousand euros to have lunch there
because so many people are trying to go to.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
The place where they ate at White Lotus. It is coastal,
some of.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
The most gorgeous beaches you've ever seen, but of course
about two hundred or three hundred meters up in the air.
It is absolutely amazing. Another place that I wish you
guys with me. Looking forward to coming home a little bit,
talk to you soon.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
But she's much a liar a little bit.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah, so Sam's got another week and it's big European
holiday and we'll be back with us next week. We
need to talk about Ozmpic. This was a big story
over the weekend. I don't know if you saw it
in the New Zealand Herald. Now if you don't know
what ozmpick is, it's the weight loss drug that you
can inject into yourself and it helps you lose weight.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
It's not for weight loss the Originally it's not for that.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
No, but it is now. It's a proof of weight
loss in the States, but not in New Zealand. So
it is a New Zealand but only for people that
have diabetes. And there has been a swirling debate about
whether we should get it here because Sam's been updating
us every single week about the benefits for your neurological health.
It's helping people get pregnant because of the associated risks
of weight loss. It helps your cardiovascular health. What else,
(11:36):
your bones, your blood, your blood, yeah, everything. And then
a guy called Finlay Thompson came out over the weekend.
Now he's a director at a company called Dragonfly in Wellington,
and he.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Said it should be funded for weight loss. He has lost.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
He's gone from one hundred and thirty eight CAGs to
one oh seven.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
For the third time in my life I felt kind
of full, Like that sense of being full.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I never experienced them.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
So he has been absolutely wild about it, and Jason
and I both read the article and went far out.
He's got a pretty compelling case if you take into
account obesity stats in New Zealand.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
So I've got some stats for you.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Direct costs of treating issues or diseases associated with excess
weight is two billion dollars per year in New Zealand,
which makes up eight percent of the health budget with
a preventable so they're saying that that would be wiped
out if these people could get on Ozmpic, and then
intangible costs are anywhere up to twenty six billion dollars.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
So the question is now two things.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Do you think it should be funded for weight loss
or should it just stay with diabetes bearing in mind
that the rest of the world are doing this and
at the moment New Zealand is not.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
As someone who lost a bit of weight in the past,
I can tell you the mental impact that has is amazing,
Like it just you you feel better and even in
your mind you feel a lot better as well.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
And Jason, those costs I just shared with you a
physical symptom cost people seeing cutovascular issues. It doesn't even
take into account what it's doing for people's mental health
and then that cost of course as counselors. And how
do you even quantify the emotional harm on a family
when someone's depressed.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
That's exactly right, Yeah, exactly, so put me downe for
a year. I reckon get it funded camp.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
I'm pretty sure Sam's in the use camp.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
So what about you though, ozempics? Should it be funded?
Approved for funding in New Zealand? What do you think
to send a text to two six nine nine, especially
if you or someone you know is on Sexander, which
is something really really similar, because friends of ours are
on that and they've lost so much weight and again
they're feeling good about life.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
So where's the downs?
Speaker 3 (13:36):
What about a zempic because it's this druggle that came
out for diabetics, but then they found out what an
amazing job it does for weight loss, so then they
started funding it overseas for weight loss because for people
who are obese, it's changing their lives in so many ways.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, and someone here has question, what's in it? How
long were the clinical trials on humans decades, number of participants,
a new hype instantly raises suspicions. You say that, member,
this is absolutely being passed for diabetics in this country,
and I wouldn't do that if it was unsafe. So
what we're saying is it's already been okay for people
(14:10):
with diabetes. Should it now be introduced for people that
just need to lose weight? And a very valid point
from so many of you on the text arguing whether
it should be funded versus not. I think making it
available first is probably the number one thing.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Right, Yeah, exactly, gordon' you reckon should be available?
Speaker 7 (14:29):
Yeah, most certainly should be available. Once again, you still
have to work with it.
Speaker 10 (14:34):
It's not the only thing that will help you lose weight,
but yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
It should be available.
Speaker 8 (14:40):
Funding.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
Yeah, I think there was a case by case situation.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Certainly we need to do.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Something about our BC in this country. There we do.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Yeah, there's a really good point, Gordon, from you about
the funding on a case by case because at the
moment I just said the sets before two billion, it's
costing and that is directly associated with obesity. It could
be as high as twenty six billion, and you've got
to think if we got that money back, that could
then go into potential cancer drugs and things that people
(15:11):
could really use.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Yeah, Kelly, what are your thoughts on the whole thing?
Speaker 6 (15:15):
Well, I think if there's more pros and cons, it's
a given, you know what I mean. I understand the funding,
but like I say, mental health, it's huge in New Zealand,
basically huge.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
And do you know the other thing you've just brought up?
You said obesity and mental health. I actually just talked
about on my Instagram this week. Cardiovascular health is the
number one killer and do you know what's terrible for
gardio vascular health having excess weight. So it's a really
good point you raise.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Janine, what do you think.
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Personally?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
I think it should be available, but.
Speaker 10 (15:50):
You've got to remember it's at all and it always
comes back to eating rights and movement.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
So yeah, I'm with you. I don't lie on it
solely for them, but it's just going to help a well.
Speaker 10 (16:01):
Yeah, I mean yeah, Well, well I've had a guest
up bypath and I've lost Dady Kilos and if I
could go back now, I'd probably do it through exercise
and eating properly.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Do you think you'd be able to lose eighty kg's
doing it that.
Speaker 10 (16:18):
Way if I had my mindset done properly, Yes I could.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
And as you as you say too. The same with
patriotic surgery. That's not a magic pill either. People still
have to exercise and eat well because there are a
lot of people that regain their weight if they don't
mentally get themselves in that space. So many texts flooding
in on this. Someone said here people should have to
lose some of the weight before getting the drug. This
(16:46):
person's a health coach and she's saying laziness generally is
why we're in this situation with obesity.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
That's a big call from a health coach. Well, that's
to take a heart and uphill approach.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
A lot of the texts on two sixth nine nine
saying yep, we should have it available in New Zealand
maybe find it.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Case by case. And it's at a bad point.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
It's been on holiday for the school holiday, spending some
time with the family.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
How was your holiday, Tony.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
I had a great holiday. Jas We did have a.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Couple of medical mishaps that I'm going to tell you
about after eight today. One that included fainting in another
a broken boat. But the first week of holiday was great.
But I want to talk to you about a moment
that I was proud of. So I like to I
kind of like to think I'm a bit of a
dare devil when it comes to going to theme parks.
And I went to West and Wild and SeaWorld over
(17:34):
in Australia's Gold Coast, right. And as you get older,
I don't know what it is, but you kind of
lose a bit of your courage. You know, ME hate
small spaces, so don't put me in anything confined, like
I didn't want to do the black Hole.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
It went wild, but anything with heights.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
And thrills, I'm usually up for it, right, And I
was with only one of my children. I was with
my eleven year old daughter, Juliet and another family. The
little ones were at home, and so she wanted me
to go on this one particular ride.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
At SeaWorld, which was called the Vortex.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
And if you've ever seen it, you know, everyone sits
in like a grid and then it flips you backwards.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
It's almost like a wave and it rolls and I.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Don't know what it is, but I just got I
got a bit of anxiety about it, and I was like, no, no, no,
I'm going to feel so I won't go on it.
So I did it the first time, and I watched
them and it didn't make me feel any better. And
then there was that moment where they were going on
a second time and my daughter looked at me with
pleading eyes, please, Mum, can you come on it? And
I had that moment where I paused and I was like,
this could go one of two ways. I'm either just
going to be a coward and go and sit over there,
(18:36):
or I'm going to man up and go on this
ride with my daughter, because what's the worst that can happen?
And I just hopped in the line. I hopped in
the line and went, Okay, I'll do it whatever.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I loved it. It was so good and I don't
even know what I was scared about. I mean, it
threw me around like a washing machine.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
But I'm just so.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Glad that I said yes, because I could have easily
just sat there and gone, nah, I'll sit this one out.
I'm like, come on, just because you're forty now, you
can still go on rides, Tony.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
See, that's on pricess someone who I can't even got
to swing anymore, the feeling nacous on a swing anymore.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
So did you have a good holiday?
Speaker 4 (19:08):
I had a great holiday, thank you. Yeah. If it's
something happened at Eden Park.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
We took our eleven year old to his very first
ever live All Blacks match, and something happened at Eden
Park that made me just realize amazing, how amazing people are.
So we set in our seats. We had some really
nice seats. We sat down there and the guy said,
in experience. You know, my name is Colin. I figured
we're going to sit in next to each other during
the game. We're going to be seat mates. So anyt
thing you need tonight, bro, I'm go and get it
for you, because I think you're a little man with you.
And and so we were hugging during the game. When
(19:33):
the All Blacks finally won, we hugged each other.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Who whoa whoa You and Colin?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Me and Colin. I don't know who Colin is, but
what an amazing man.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
He sat down and shook my hand, said, we're going
to be seat mates for this game.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Mate.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I'm here with my mates. You're here with your little boy.
So that said to have a good time. I was like,
what a great way to start the game.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Who did Colin go to the rugby with two of
his mates?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I think you just picturing him on his own for
a second, Jason, I'm really pleased about that.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Sounds great.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
That's good anyway, a nice precess.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
The next day to turned out, Actually you have got
to visit a college actually comes to visit the studio.
Come on and go.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Coasts, Feel Good Breakfast to catch up podcast with Coasts,
Tony Street, Jays Reeves, and Sam Wallas.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Hopefully we hear this quite a lot in the next
few days.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Oh gosh, I hope so too.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I couldn't be more excited about the Olympics. As a kid,
I wanted to be in the Olympics and then realized
it wasn't going to happen. So then I decided I'm
going to report on the Olympics, and I did. I
realized that Duram I went to China in two thousand
and eight, had the time of my life. And then
the last Olympics, the Tokyo Olympics, which were remember a.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Covid effectedly tricks.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I got to host it for TV inz and I
just I love every minute of it. Sky TV has
it this year and obviously the New Zealand HEROLDS has
the rights here and we have radio rights as well
on Goals. But I need to talk to you about
some of the things that have been happening because already
the stories are jumping out and I love it. And
if you've watched the Simon Biles doco on Netflix at
(21:02):
the moment, it will get you excited for the Olympics,
and is particularly the gymnastics, because let's be honest, how
good is the gymnastics. You know, Olympics is the pinnacle
for them. And you'll remember at the last Olympics, the
big controversy was Simon Biles pulling out for her mental health,
for her mental health, and you get such a good
grasp of it in this doco. But she is back
this year, so watching her in Paris is going to
(21:23):
be really interesting because she did get a bit of
criticism for leaving the US team high and dry and
then coming back, so there were two sides to that camp. Anyway,
Still on gymnastics, the biggest scandal so far to come
out of Paris, a Japanese woman who is the captain
of their gymnastics team, she's only nineteen, has been sent packing.
She's the captain of their gym team, and they were
(21:45):
looking odds on to contest for gold.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
To get on the podium.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Why she vents it home?
Speaker 5 (21:49):
She has been caught.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Smoking and they've sent her home because it's illegal to
smoke under the age of twenty in Japan, and it's
a strict team code of conduct that you cannot smoke.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
She's been caught smoking.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Enough on a play back to can you imagine all
those hours and hours of training and now she's going
home her family.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Oh, it's just shame Japan.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Such a disaster. I mean, I say, the poor thing
she knew what the codacond dot.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
I still feel sorry for though.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I want to talk about prize money because we all
know that the Olympics is you do it for the
love of it, right, But for the first time ever,
there is going to be a sport paid if you
get a gold medal at the Olympic Games, and that
is athletics.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
So World Athletics have come out.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
And said, if you get a gold medal, then you
are going to receive the equivalent of eighty three thousand
New Zealand dollars. Really not if you get silveral bronze.
That's not coming until the next Olympics, which is in
LA And so what I'm just going to say is
Hamish Kerr, who is our gun high jumper, is looking
odds on to possibly get a payday because he's just
(22:53):
one the latest diamond meat. He's equaled his personal best
of two point three to three meters and he is
a hot.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Tip to win god and eighty three grands and.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Eighty three pay on top of all of that, so
exciting times.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
I'm looking forward to the break dancing.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
I've never seen break dancing before and the Olympics now
it's an Olympic events.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
You love a good breakdancing. I can't set sometimes in
the breaks, it's quite weird.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
We should see me at least the caterpillar, the chasers
on coast.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
All right, you'll chance now to take us on and
win our cash. General quiz five questions we go head
to hear to the thing is that we don't who's playing.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
We're gonna roll the dice.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
We won't hear the questions until after you've played, So
if we can't match your score, you win the money.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
Okay, if it lands on Sam, shall we do papers
as a Rocke Okay?
Speaker 4 (23:34):

Zealand events. Don't know what the top more question is
going to be.
Speaker 4 (24:33):

be that dumb. I even knew the story about the
poor drafte that died and the gorilla to the titles
question though, do they have piranhas at that zoo?
Speaker 3 (27:44):
That's all I want to know, because that's what they
need anyway, Thanks so much then, So now tomorrow we
played for one thousand, one hundred dollars.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
What a day today.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Don Henley from the Eagles seventy seven years old, Prince
George eleven years old today, Prince George, it's his birthday year.
But in America the big news and it's everywhere right now.
A couple of hours ago, President Joe Biden pulled out
of the presidential race. He's like, you know what, No,
I was going to concentrate on being the American president
for the rest of my term. Jack Tame joins us
now from Tibanzi's Q and A. So he's a political expert.
(28:19):
He spent time being the American correspondent for One News
over there.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
He's also the Saturday morning host here at Newstalk ZV.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
It's right exactly. He has covered American elections before. He
has been there for American elections. He's going to be
there again for the election later this year. Jack, what
do you make of all this?
Speaker 7 (28:34):
Well, it took him long enough. I mean, it was
so obvious as soon as that debate went down that
Joe Biden couldn't stand and win in this presidential race.
And it's remarkable really that he held on for as
long as he did. There has been so much pressure
from within the Democratic Party for him to stand down,
with all these massive names from Congress, people from big
(28:59):
donors who raise you know, tens of millions of dollars
for the campaign, all of them pressuring him to stand down,
He's finally given into it. And honestly, I think this
is this is probably good from the Democrat's perspective. They've
got to throw a bit of a you know, like
a Hail Mary kind of pass now, a bit of
a miracle shot, hope that they can pull off a
just sinder Mania style campaign, get someone young in a
(29:22):
jeddak who can take down Donald Trump and win the
White House.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
So is that person Kamala Harris then?
Speaker 7 (29:27):
I don't think so. That's just my personal view, Carma
was just for whatever reason, it's just not very popular.
And I think about a couple of friends of mine
in the US who are Joe Biden, who are Donald
Trump supporters, and I remember in the last election campaign
that was so negative about Karmala. They were like, oh,
the only reason that Joe Biden's going in is that
(29:48):
it's a secret it's a secret trick so that KRMLA
can take over as president halfway through the term. And
I think, I mean that was kind of conspiratorial. But
she's she's she's not been very visible throughout this presidential
term as vice president, which is which is a bit weird.
So yeah, I think, look, you'll have some support, But
(30:09):
I personally, if they if the goal is to win
the White House, I think the Democrats should back another candidate,
but it could be Carmeler. And this is going to
be an interesting thing now. Basically they're going to have
to work out a process whereby they decide on who
the next candidate is and then they all need to
get behind that person and support them as much as possible,
both in terms of you know, like public facing stuff,
(30:30):
getting out there on campaigning, but also in terms of
fundraising because money is so important, and whoever that candidate is,
they're going to potentially need hundreds of millions of dollars
to campaign against Trump.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, so how does the donors work Jack, in terms
of what Biden had, Is that all scrub Now the
new person has to start again.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
Well, No, I mean the truth is, I mean many
of the people who had already donated and committed money
to Biden will have wanted Biden to stand down. You've
got so just to go back to that debate and
how significant it was, like there's been concerned obviously for
some time about Joe Biden maybe not being all there
(31:09):
and not kind of being in a physical and mental
state or the physical state anyway to be president for
the next four years. And so to counter all of
that criticism, Biden and his team specifically decided on that debate.
They were like this, we're going to have a debate.
They chose the rules, they chose the location, they chose
the broadcaster, all of that stuff. They said, this is
(31:31):
what we're going to do to show you that Joe
Biden still has his edge. And on that occasion, on
the big occasion that they established, he completely blew it,
like he wouldn't have had.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
Least edg major backfire.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (31:46):
It's like saying, hey, hey, world, look at me, World,
look at me, and then you have a disastrous time
and then you say, oh, don't looking at me.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
How dare you?
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Jack? We really appreciate you doing this for us this
morning because we know you're about to fly out on
your honeymoon. Congratulations, and I hope you get time to
relax and no other media outlets are calling you as
the x US correspondent.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
Well, something tells me at the very least, I'm going
to be refreshing my news apps furiously.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
While just to relax. Jack, Thanks so much.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I like too when I go on and you'll leave
do quite a lot of admin. That sounds so boring,
but it's just easier, I think when I've got the
kids home that not at school, and get it all
done so that when you come back to work, you're
not concerned with things like vaccinations, any form of medical
Like I in the time that I was away, I
went and saw the cardiologist. I had a CT scan
(32:42):
on my face. I went and saw my GP like
I just went banging. The cardiologist is just.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
A check up. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
I don't have had yet that I do have it
terribly on both sides of my family. Anyway, I also decided, right,
let's get the kids all sorted, and I really wanted
the flu's been really nasty at the moment, so I
wanted to make sure that they got their flu jabs.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
You can get them.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Free by the way at our show sponsor Bargain Chemist.
I was going for a multiple appointment because my husband
also had to go and see this GP because he
was out running and he kicked an exposed tree route
that was coming up through the concrete and he really
badly bruised his toe. And when I got back from
(33:26):
being away in Australia, it looked at his foot it
was four times the size as normal, and I said,
have you not gone and seen anyone about that? And
he goes, no, I thought it was just bruised. It
all come right. I looked at it and went, that
ain't bruise mate, that is broken.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
To cut a long story short, he got an X
ray and he has cracked all the way through his
toe down to his foot joint. And we're waiting to
find out on Wednesday whether he's going to need surgery.
It's actually really really start surgery on it. Yep, he's
going to have to potentially have screws in the side.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Of his foot like Richie mccaugh.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:54):
So you picture this day.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
I've got a limping husband going in to see the
initial GP appointment to see about his foot. I've got
all three kids with me, and I wanted to get
all three of them a flu jab, and I wanted
to get myself a lab test.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
And I also wanted to get my eleven year old daughter.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Her Boostricks, which is the big shop that they normally
get at school. But it was on the same day
as neppul, and I didn't wanted to have a dead arm.
You know how I'm a psycho coach. Sure, So anyway,
I had to drag my eleven year old out of
bed at ten past eight for an eight thirty appointment,
right because I wanted to let her sleep in Sure,
So as we're going out the door, I'm like, you
need to eat something, and I threw her an apple
(34:31):
and she decided not to eat it. So we get
to our medical center. I've got a limping husband, got
three kids. They get all their jabs, No problem great,
but they make you stay twenty minutes just to check
everyone's okay.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
And at that point my husband.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Said to me, you shoot across the road and go
and get your blood test. I'll go up and pay
for all these for the boostricks vaccination. So he goes
up to the reception. I'm at lab tests.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
Next thing, there's a man shouting someone we need help here,
we need help here in the waiting room.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
My husband turns around and our eleven year old is
out cold on the floor and she's banged.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
Her head on the chair.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
She faints.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
So she's passed out because she got the flu.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Jaban the boots stricks together and look, you're allowed to
do that. But because i'd ripped her ount a beard,
no food and she hadn't eaten, so I get it.
I get a curried call from the lab test that
our daughter's passed out, so I'm running back from lab tests.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
We go and put her in a room.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
They take your blood pressure, give us some sugar, and
she comes right. And as that's happening, my nine year
old starts going pale and woozy, and they have to
put her.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
On the other beard because she is suffering the same thing.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
So the moral of the story is people wow when
it rains at pause, and if you're going to get
your jabs next, just.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
Eat breakfast first like a responsible human.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Okay, sugar.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Tony Jason Sam's feel Good Breakfast Can't Shut podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Today on the show, we talked about the latest in
Ozimpic without Sam here. We needed to update it and
we asked you whether you think it should be used
for weight loss as well as diabetes.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Also the Olympic updates. Someone has already been sent home shockingly.
How old is she and what was she doing? That's
going to shock you even more?
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Can call.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
This shocked us this research because Jason and I are
definitely not in this camp. But it turns out that
one in ten ossies will not get new in front
of the pit.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
The dog looking at them apparently apparently.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
Sometimes I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I've looked Beer has looked at me, not necessarily when
I'm naked, but he's looked at me with judgmental eyes.
Maybe when I'm going to eat something I shouldn't and
I've gone, are you clocking what's happening right now? You
know I have because I think my dog's are very special.
Dog sat a very very smart power.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Oh yeah, see my dog Tid, He's like my little shadow.
So I walked down the end of the house and
he's like the shadow. And so I'll be in the
bathroom and here we are waiting on the bed, and
it's waiting for me, will sit outside the door. Sometimes
I'm just just san.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
All I'm gonna say is I'm definitely getting least judgment
from my avoodle than I am from my children. Right,
And actually that's a topic for another day. Whether you're
happy to be dood in front of your kids. I am,
because I read somewhere once that it's really healthy for
them to be comfortable in their bodies.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Actually that's a good I think I am opportunity covering
what don't see, we don't look.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
I'll make a game of it.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
But we've had this debate before all over what at
what age is it okay? You know, particularly if you've
got a daughter and you've got it like the dad. True,
that's a debate for another day. All I'm saying is
I think we're fine with the dog. I mean, what, well,
why wouldn't you?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I'm okay, what's.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
The dog gonna do?
Speaker 6 (02:19):
Like, I don't know, one in.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Ten ozsies won't keep need in front of the dog.
How do New Zealanders compare though? Honestly call, if you've
got a pit, are you happy to be neude in
front of your pit?
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Because some people imagine, no, they're not killing there?
Speaker 5 (02:29):
And is it because you think the dog's judging you?
Like you need to be working out more?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Honestly called, if you've got a pit, are you okay
being need in front of that pit?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Six us or not? To two? Six nine nine?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
If we get T and t X to see if
one of them is no, because apparently in Australia one
and ten ossies are not keen to be newed in
front of their dog.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
How do keepes compee?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Let's find out one and ten Australians have come out
over the weekend saying they will not get nude in
front of their pit.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Do you know this is interesting? A little bit of
a link to Joe Biden and cats. So he in
the last few years has gone vegan. But he used
to be the biggest meat eater you would ever know,
Like he would sit down apparently and he could smash
ten chops in one sitting and then had a massive
change of heart because his heart was no good. Now
he's gone vegan and a lot of people think it's
(03:17):
for animal protection reasons, but actually it was just because
he didn't want to have art attacks.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
So we're asking the question how the New Zealanders campep
with Australians. So far on the text on two six
ninety nine, every single person's is that no problem with that?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Helen? What about you?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
No?
Speaker 7 (03:31):
Definitely not, nope, nope.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Tell us about your pet?
Speaker 7 (03:35):
So I have two dogs and a cat, and I
think they look at me like I look at those
hairless ts, like ooh, where is your fur?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
They look at me like I actually think our pet
probably does the same. But because he can't talk back
at me, I'm like, well, what are you to do?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
So you're no problem with that? Thank you for that, Helen.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Most people on the text, with every single text on
two six nine nine, he's then from with it.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
So Helen's the only person that wouldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
If you haven't heard the news already, President Joe Biden
has stepped down from the presidential race, so he's walking
away from that. He's still gonna be the president though,
and he's going to stick around just concentrat on being
the president for the next few months.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
But that is it. He will not contest the election anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
No, and so he's put out a couple of big statements,
and I'll just give you a little once over of
what he said. I've the past three and a half years,
we've made great progress as a nation. Today America has
the strongest economy in the world. So he's sort of
a landmarking all the things he's done. He's talked about
passing the first gun safety law in thirty years, appointing
the first African American woman to the Supreme Court, and
(04:41):
passed the most significant climate legislation in the history of
the world. America has never been better positioned to lead
the world then today. So then he goes on to
say that the economic downturn has affected things and essentially
has then said, look, I'm for me, just for the
best thing for the country. Asked for me to stand
down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president
(05:03):
for the remainder of my term and not be distracted
from that.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Interesting, so they're saying that his vice president, Kamala Harris
is now the lead contended to take the presidential race. However,
that's not sitting stone either. So someone else could come.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Out and know we they could remember Joe Biden's eighty
one Just remember that, you know, like that, that's a big,
big thing to have to then go again, you know,
is it.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Now time to pick up the phone and called Michelle Obama? Wow?
Imagine that.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Well, the problem you have is Vice President Kamala Harris
is apparently not very popular. So she was initially when
Joe Biden got into power and a lot of people
were saying, oh, she would have been really good, but
over his term her numbers of dwindled.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
So what about all these celebrities to say one day
I'll run for president?
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Is the Rock going to run for presidency?
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Now?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Is George Clooney going to run for president? What happened? Then?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I'm glad Biden's given Kamala Harris as full support. But
watch this space to see, no doubt the polls will
be going crazy in the States to see whether she
can pull this together.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
And a short few months, well I happened.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
In New Zealand and we were just thinking about doing
excise me just doing.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
That it before the elections.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
She did in less time.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
And less times the space. Hey, if you getting ready,
run about now we were saying before the put the
hair dry down because apparently there's something new for the hair.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Well.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I actually thought of Sam when I saw this news
because he basically used to have a perm when he
was at high school. He prides himself on having the
long like Tarzan Maine, and perms are the new mullet apparently,
So I'm actually really glad the mullet's gone. And I hate,
I hate to say this, but I actually think a
perm would be better than a mullet, even though a
(06:36):
perm gives me anxiety because you know why, when I
was at when I was about twelve or thirteen, my
mum decided that I needed some umph in the front
of my hair, so she permed my fringe and that
was it. That's not the rest of my hair. So
I had a curly fringe and straight here, which is
basically a mullet mullet.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Yeah, you know, it looked amazing.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
So that's so if you getting really run about now,
I just think you so the next here style you get,
go for the perm's like that old instant Ki we had,
get a perm, get a perm, per a perm heys
over the weekend. This caught my over the weekend. It
was the fifty fifth anniversary of the moon landing over
the weekend. So they did that back in July nineteen
sixty nine.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I don't remember they No, I wasn't there, but I
don't even know them saying this.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Was so fifty fifth anniversary. No one's been back to
the Moon since nineteen seventy two, And I thought, well why,
And I read this article over the weekend of it
why people won't go back? Apparent it's all on the cost.
So back in nineteen sixty nine, the first moon mission
cost three hundred and fifty to five million dollars, which
is the equivalent to thirty eight billion dollars today.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
So hang on a minute.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
So the first guys went to the Moon in sixty nine,
and no one's been back since seventy two?
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Was last time people stood on the moon? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (07:44):
I thought people had been since then.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Yeah, no, not since nineteen seventy two.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
They go to space, but not specifically.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
They don't get out and start wandering around on the Moon.
That's what they've sent, like the explorers around. But to
send the person to the Moon, like I said, back
in nineteen sixty nine, it cost three hundred and fifty
five million dollars today, it would cost twenty eight billion
dollars at least. Wow, So so this equivalent sorry a
three billion to day back then ee, it would be
twenty eight billion dollars to send someone to the moon.
(08:12):
And as you know, there are other things we can
spend money on.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Well, these times are tight even for people that go
to the moon. But I tell you what, not tight
enough not to get a perm And I think when
Sam gets back, that should be a mission no offense, Jase.
I think it's going to be hard to perm your here.
And this is perms for men, by the way, because
women have been getting perm since forever, but this is
specifically for men. And I reckon that should be Sam's
first challenge on his return. The permit gives you more volume,
(08:36):
that's what he always wants.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Coasts Feel Good Breakfast catch up podcast with Tony Street,
Jays Reeves, and Sam Wallace.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Tony and I are.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Back after the holidays, but one of us is still
on holiday at the moment.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Doesn't it feel like Samy's been away for an eternity?
And with every really puts up on social media, we
shed another tear and looks magna, doesn't it. He's been
all over Europe, and if you've got anyone, any friend
or associate that's in Europe at the moment, you will
see it all because they're plastering it on Instagram and
we're living vicariously through him.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
So Sam's over there with his family at the moment,
as his mom and dad of there, his sister, brother
in law, all the kids there as well. It's a
family trip and once in a lifetime trip. Sam has
come to us from one of the most famous places
in the world.
Speaker 8 (09:25):
We are in Telmina, which is in Messina, which is
at the bottom of the top of the shoe of Italy.
Speaker 9 (09:32):
We've just arrived by boat today.
Speaker 8 (09:33):
It is probably the most beautiful place you've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
His massive ampitheaters.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
I'm literally walking through the streets right now, those tightly
knit lanes, all ancient ruins, surrounded some of the best
shopping we've found so far. But more importantly, ladies and gentlemen,
it is the place where our favorite program has filmed
what's it calling your Mum White Lotus and mums come
dress exactly like the white Lotus and she's been looking
(10:00):
for for gay males to be taken onto some kind.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Of cruise ship. And oh, just a little bit of information.
Speaker 8 (10:07):
If you want to go to the hotel now to
have a drink, because you know, it used to be
you sitt them and have a drink. Now it's fifty
euros just to walk on the door and have a look.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
And how much was it to have lunch?
Speaker 8 (10:18):
Two thousand euros or something?
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Fifty euros for a drink a drink, but wasn't like
a thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
I didn't listen.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Mom didn't listen. She gets that.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
From me, And yeah, so I think it was like
a thousand or two thousand euros to have lunch there
because so many people are trying to go to.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
The place where they ate at White Lotus. It is coastal,
some of.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
The most gorgeous beaches you've ever seen, but of course
about two hundred or three hundred meters up in the air.
It is absolutely amazing. Another place that I wish you
guys with me. Looking forward to coming home a little bit,
talk to you soon.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
But she's much a liar a little bit.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah, so Sam's got another week and it's big European
holiday and we'll be back with us next week. We
need to talk about Ozmpic. This was a big story
over the weekend. I don't know if you saw it
in the New Zealand Herald. Now if you don't know
what ozmpick is, it's the weight loss drug that you
can inject into yourself and it helps you lose weight.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
It's not for weight loss the Originally it's not for that.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
No, but it is now. It's a proof of weight
loss in the States, but not in New Zealand. So
it is a New Zealand but only for people that
have diabetes. And there has been a swirling debate about
whether we should get it here because Sam's been updating
us every single week about the benefits for your neurological health.
It's helping people get pregnant because of the associated risks
of weight loss. It helps your cardiovascular health. What else,
(11:36):
your bones, your blood, your blood, yeah, everything. And then
a guy called Finlay Thompson came out over the weekend.
Now he's a director at a company called Dragonfly in Wellington,
and he.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Said it should be funded for weight loss. He has lost.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
He's gone from one hundred and thirty eight CAGs to
one oh seven.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
For the third time in my life I felt kind
of full, Like that sense of being full.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I never experienced them.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
So he has been absolutely wild about it, and Jason
and I both read the article and went far out.
He's got a pretty compelling case if you take into
account obesity stats in New Zealand.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
So I've got some stats for you.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Direct costs of treating issues or diseases associated with excess
weight is two billion dollars per year in New Zealand,
which makes up eight percent of the health budget with
a preventable so they're saying that that would be wiped
out if these people could get on Ozmpic, and then
intangible costs are anywhere up to twenty six billion dollars.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
So the question is now two things.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Do you think it should be funded for weight loss
or should it just stay with diabetes bearing in mind
that the rest of the world are doing this and
at the moment New Zealand is not.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
As someone who lost a bit of weight in the past,
I can tell you the mental impact that has is amazing,
Like it just you you feel better and even in
your mind you feel a lot better as well.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
And Jason, those costs I just shared with you a
physical symptom cost people seeing cutovascular issues. It doesn't even
take into account what it's doing for people's mental health
and then that cost of course as counselors. And how
do you even quantify the emotional harm on a family
when someone's depressed.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
That's exactly right, Yeah, exactly, so put me downe for
a year. I reckon get it funded camp.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
I'm pretty sure Sam's in the use camp.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
So what about you though, ozempics? Should it be funded?
Approved for funding in New Zealand? What do you think
to send a text to two six nine nine, especially
if you or someone you know is on Sexander, which
is something really really similar, because friends of ours are
on that and they've lost so much weight and again
they're feeling good about life.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
So where's the downs?
Speaker 3 (13:36):
What about a zempic because it's this druggle that came
out for diabetics, but then they found out what an
amazing job it does for weight loss, so then they
started funding it overseas for weight loss because for people
who are obese, it's changing their lives in so many ways.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, and someone here has question, what's in it? How
long were the clinical trials on humans decades, number of participants,
a new hype instantly raises suspicions. You say that, member,
this is absolutely being passed for diabetics in this country,
and I wouldn't do that if it was unsafe. So
what we're saying is it's already been okay for people
(14:10):
with diabetes. Should it now be introduced for people that
just need to lose weight? And a very valid point
from so many of you on the text arguing whether
it should be funded versus not. I think making it
available first is probably the number one thing.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Right, Yeah, exactly, gordon' you reckon should be available?
Speaker 7 (14:29):
Yeah, most certainly should be available. Once again, you still
have to work with it.
Speaker 10 (14:34):
It's not the only thing that will help you lose weight,
but yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
It should be available.
Speaker 8 (14:40):
Funding.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
Yeah, I think there was a case by case situation.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Certainly we need to do.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Something about our BC in this country. There we do.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Yeah, there's a really good point, Gordon, from you about
the funding on a case by case because at the
moment I just said the sets before two billion, it's
costing and that is directly associated with obesity. It could
be as high as twenty six billion, and you've got
to think if we got that money back, that could
then go into potential cancer drugs and things that people
(15:11):
could really use.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Yeah, Kelly, what are your thoughts on the whole thing?
Speaker 6 (15:15):
Well, I think if there's more pros and cons, it's
a given, you know what I mean. I understand the funding,
but like I say, mental health, it's huge in New Zealand,
basically huge.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
And do you know the other thing you've just brought up?
You said obesity and mental health. I actually just talked
about on my Instagram this week. Cardiovascular health is the
number one killer and do you know what's terrible for
gardio vascular health having excess weight. So it's a really
good point you raise.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Janine, what do you think.
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Personally?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
I think it should be available, but.
Speaker 10 (15:50):
You've got to remember it's at all and it always
comes back to eating rights and movement.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
So yeah, I'm with you. I don't lie on it
solely for them, but it's just going to help a well.
Speaker 10 (16:01):
Yeah, I mean yeah, Well, well I've had a guest
up bypath and I've lost Dady Kilos and if I
could go back now, I'd probably do it through exercise
and eating properly.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Do you think you'd be able to lose eighty kg's
doing it that.
Speaker 10 (16:18):
Way if I had my mindset done properly, Yes I could.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
And as you as you say too. The same with
patriotic surgery. That's not a magic pill either. People still
have to exercise and eat well because there are a
lot of people that regain their weight if they don't
mentally get themselves in that space. So many texts flooding
in on this. Someone said here people should have to
lose some of the weight before getting the drug. This
(16:46):
person's a health coach and she's saying laziness generally is
why we're in this situation with obesity.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
That's a big call from a health coach. Well, that's
to take a heart and uphill approach.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
A lot of the texts on two sixth nine nine
saying yep, we should have it available in New Zealand
maybe find it.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Case by case. And it's at a bad point.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
It's been on holiday for the school holiday, spending some
time with the family.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
How was your holiday, Tony.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
I had a great holiday. Jas We did have a.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Couple of medical mishaps that I'm going to tell you
about after eight today. One that included fainting in another
a broken boat. But the first week of holiday was great.
But I want to talk to you about a moment
that I was proud of. So I like to I
kind of like to think I'm a bit of a
dare devil when it comes to going to theme parks.
And I went to West and Wild and SeaWorld over
(17:34):
in Australia's Gold Coast, right. And as you get older,
I don't know what it is, but you kind of
lose a bit of your courage. You know, ME hate
small spaces, so don't put me in anything confined, like
I didn't want to do the black Hole.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
It went wild, but anything with heights.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
And thrills, I'm usually up for it, right, And I
was with only one of my children. I was with
my eleven year old daughter, Juliet and another family. The
little ones were at home, and so she wanted me
to go on this one particular ride.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
At SeaWorld, which was called the Vortex.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
And if you've ever seen it, you know, everyone sits
in like a grid and then it flips you backwards.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
It's almost like a wave and it rolls and I.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Don't know what it is, but I just got I
got a bit of anxiety about it, and I was like, no, no, no,
I'm going to feel so I won't go on it.
So I did it the first time, and I watched
them and it didn't make me feel any better. And
then there was that moment where they were going on
a second time and my daughter looked at me with
pleading eyes, please, Mum, can you come on it? And
I had that moment where I paused and I was like,
this could go one of two ways. I'm either just
going to be a coward and go and sit over there,
(18:36):
or I'm going to man up and go on this
ride with my daughter, because what's the worst that can happen?
And I just hopped in the line. I hopped in
the line and went, Okay, I'll do it whatever.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I loved it. It was so good and I don't
even know what I was scared about. I mean, it
threw me around like a washing machine.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
But I'm just so.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Glad that I said yes, because I could have easily
just sat there and gone, nah, I'll sit this one out.
I'm like, come on, just because you're forty now, you
can still go on rides, Tony.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
See, that's on pricess someone who I can't even got
to swing anymore, the feeling nacous on a swing anymore.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
So did you have a good holiday?
Speaker 4 (19:08):
I had a great holiday, thank you. Yeah. If it's
something happened at Eden Park.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
We took our eleven year old to his very first
ever live All Blacks match, and something happened at Eden
Park that made me just realize amazing, how amazing people are.
So we set in our seats. We had some really
nice seats. We sat down there and the guy said,
in experience. You know, my name is Colin. I figured
we're going to sit in next to each other during
the game. We're going to be seat mates. So anyt
thing you need tonight, bro, I'm go and get it
for you, because I think you're a little man with you.
And and so we were hugging during the game. When
(19:33):
the All Blacks finally won, we hugged each other.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Who whoa whoa You and Colin?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Me and Colin. I don't know who Colin is, but
what an amazing man.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
He sat down and shook my hand, said, we're going
to be seat mates for this game.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Mate.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I'm here with my mates. You're here with your little boy.
So that said to have a good time. I was like,
what a great way to start the game.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Who did Colin go to the rugby with two of
his mates?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I think you just picturing him on his own for
a second, Jason, I'm really pleased about that.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Sounds great.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
That's good anyway, a nice precess.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
The next day to turned out, Actually you have got
to visit a college actually comes to visit the studio.
Come on and go.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Coasts, Feel Good Breakfast to catch up podcast with Coasts,
Tony Street, Jays Reeves, and Sam Wallas.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Hopefully we hear this quite a lot in the next
few days.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Oh gosh, I hope so too.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I couldn't be more excited about the Olympics. As a kid,
I wanted to be in the Olympics and then realized
it wasn't going to happen. So then I decided I'm
going to report on the Olympics, and I did. I
realized that Duram I went to China in two thousand
and eight, had the time of my life. And then
the last Olympics, the Tokyo Olympics, which were remember a.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Covid effectedly tricks.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I got to host it for TV inz and I
just I love every minute of it. Sky TV has
it this year and obviously the New Zealand HEROLDS has
the rights here and we have radio rights as well
on Goals. But I need to talk to you about
some of the things that have been happening because already
the stories are jumping out and I love it. And
if you've watched the Simon Biles doco on Netflix at
(21:02):
the moment, it will get you excited for the Olympics,
and is particularly the gymnastics, because let's be honest, how
good is the gymnastics. You know, Olympics is the pinnacle
for them. And you'll remember at the last Olympics, the
big controversy was Simon Biles pulling out for her mental health,
for her mental health, and you get such a good
grasp of it in this doco. But she is back
this year, so watching her in Paris is going to
(21:23):
be really interesting because she did get a bit of
criticism for leaving the US team high and dry and
then coming back, so there were two sides to that camp. Anyway,
Still on gymnastics, the biggest scandal so far to come
out of Paris, a Japanese woman who is the captain
of their gymnastics team, she's only nineteen, has been sent packing.
She's the captain of their gym team, and they were
(21:45):
looking odds on to contest for gold.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
To get on the podium.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Why she vents it home?
Speaker 5 (21:49):
She has been caught.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Smoking and they've sent her home because it's illegal to
smoke under the age of twenty in Japan, and it's
a strict team code of conduct that you cannot smoke.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
She's been caught smoking.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Enough on a play back to can you imagine all
those hours and hours of training and now she's going
home her family.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Oh, it's just shame Japan.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Such a disaster. I mean, I say, the poor thing
she knew what the codacond dot.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
I still feel sorry for though.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I want to talk about prize money because we all
know that the Olympics is you do it for the
love of it, right, But for the first time ever,
there is going to be a sport paid if you
get a gold medal at the Olympic Games, and that
is athletics.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
So World Athletics have come out.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
And said, if you get a gold medal, then you
are going to receive the equivalent of eighty three thousand
New Zealand dollars. Really not if you get silveral bronze.
That's not coming until the next Olympics, which is in
LA And so what I'm just going to say is
Hamish Kerr, who is our gun high jumper, is looking
odds on to possibly get a payday because he's just
(22:53):
one the latest diamond meat. He's equaled his personal best
of two point three to three meters and he is
a hot.
Speaker 4 (22:59):

need anyway, Thanks so much then, So now tomorrow we

Speaker 4 (27:55):
What a day today.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Don Henley from the Eagles seventy seven years old, Prince
George eleven years old today, Prince George, it's his birthday year.
But in America the big news and it's everywhere right now.
A couple of hours ago, President Joe Biden pulled out
of the presidential race. He's like, you know what, No,
I was going to concentrate on being the American president
for the rest of my term. Jack Tame joins us
now from Tibanzi's Q and A. So he's a political expert.
(28:19):
He spent time being the American correspondent for One News
over there.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
He's also the Saturday morning host here at Newstalk ZV.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
It's right exactly. He has covered American elections before. He
has been there for American elections. He's going to be
there again for the election later this year. Jack, what
do you make of all this?
Speaker 7 (28:34):
Well, it took him long enough. I mean, it was
so obvious as soon as that debate went down that
Joe Biden couldn't stand and win in this presidential race.
And it's remarkable really that he held on for as
long as he did. There has been so much pressure
from within the Democratic Party for him to stand down,
with all these massive names from Congress, people from big
(28:59):
donors who raise you know, tens of millions of dollars
for the campaign, all of them pressuring him to stand down,
He's finally given into it. And honestly, I think this
is this is probably good from the Democrat's perspective. They've
got to throw a bit of a you know, like
a Hail Mary kind of pass now, a bit of
a miracle shot, hope that they can pull off a
just sinder Mania style campaign, get someone young in a
(29:22):
jeddak who can take down Donald Trump and win the
White House.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
So is that person Kamala Harris then?
Speaker 7 (29:27):
I don't think so. That's just my personal view, Carma
was just for whatever reason, it's just not very popular.
And I think about a couple of friends of mine
in the US who are Joe Biden, who are Donald
Trump supporters, and I remember in the last election campaign
that was so negative about Karmala. They were like, oh,
the only reason that Joe Biden's going in is that
(29:48):
it's a secret it's a secret trick so that KRMLA
can take over as president halfway through the term. And
I think, I mean that was kind of conspiratorial. But
she's she's she's not been very visible throughout this presidential
term as vice president, which is which is a bit weird.
So yeah, I think, look, you'll have some support, But
(30:09):
I personally, if they if the goal is to win
the White House, I think the Democrats should back another candidate,
but it could be Carmeler. And this is going to
be an interesting thing now. Basically they're going to have
to work out a process whereby they decide on who
the next candidate is and then they all need to
get behind that person and support them as much as possible,
both in terms of you know, like public facing stuff,
(30:30):
getting out there on campaigning, but also in terms of
fundraising because money is so important, and whoever that candidate is,
they're going to potentially need hundreds of millions of dollars
to campaign against Trump.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, so how does the donors work Jack, in terms
of what Biden had, Is that all scrub Now the
new person has to start again.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
Well, No, I mean the truth is, I mean many
of the people who had already donated and committed money
to Biden will have wanted Biden to stand down. You've
got so just to go back to that debate and
how significant it was, like there's been concerned obviously for
some time about Joe Biden maybe not being all there
(31:09):
and not kind of being in a physical and mental
state or the physical state anyway to be president for
the next four years. And so to counter all of
that criticism, Biden and his team specifically decided on that debate.
They were like this, we're going to have a debate.
They chose the rules, they chose the location, they chose
the broadcaster, all of that stuff. They said, this is
(31:31):
what we're going to do to show you that Joe
Biden still has his edge. And on that occasion, on
the big occasion that they established, he completely blew it,
like he wouldn't have had.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
Least edg major backfire.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (31:46):
It's like saying, hey, hey, world, look at me, World,
look at me, and then you have a disastrous time
and then you say, oh, don't looking at me.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
How dare you?
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Jack? We really appreciate you doing this for us this
morning because we know you're about to fly out on
your honeymoon. Congratulations, and I hope you get time to
relax and no other media outlets are calling you as
the x US correspondent.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
Well, something tells me at the very least, I'm going
to be refreshing my news apps furiously.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
While just to relax. Jack, Thanks so much.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I like too when I go on and you'll leave
do quite a lot of admin. That sounds so boring,
but it's just easier, I think when I've got the
kids home that not at school, and get it all
done so that when you come back to work, you're
not concerned with things like vaccinations, any form of medical
Like I in the time that I was away, I
went and saw the cardiologist. I had a CT scan
(32:42):
on my face. I went and saw my GP like
I just went banging. The cardiologist is just.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
A check up. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
I don't have had yet that I do have it
terribly on both sides of my family. Anyway, I also decided, right,
let's get the kids all sorted, and I really wanted
the flu's been really nasty at the moment, so I
wanted to make sure that they got their flu jabs.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
You can get them.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Free by the way at our show sponsor Bargain Chemist.
I was going for a multiple appointment because my husband
also had to go and see this GP because he
was out running and he kicked an exposed tree route
that was coming up through the concrete and he really
badly bruised his toe. And when I got back from
(33:26):
being away in Australia, it looked at his foot it
was four times the size as normal, and I said,
have you not gone and seen anyone about that? And
he goes, no, I thought it was just bruised. It
all come right. I looked at it and went, that
ain't bruise mate, that is broken.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
To cut a long story short, he got an X
ray and he has cracked all the way through his
toe down to his foot joint. And we're waiting to
find out on Wednesday whether he's going to need surgery.
It's actually really really start surgery on it. Yep, he's
going to have to potentially have screws in the side.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Of his foot like Richie mccaugh.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:54):
So you picture this day.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
I've got a limping husband going in to see the
initial GP appointment to see about his foot. I've got
all three kids with me, and I wanted to get
all three of them a flu jab, and I wanted
to get myself a lab test.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
And I also wanted to get my eleven year old daughter.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Her Boostricks, which is the big shop that they normally
get at school. But it was on the same day
as neppul, and I didn't wanted to have a dead arm.
You know how I'm a psycho coach. Sure, So anyway,
I had to drag my eleven year old out of
bed at ten past eight for an eight thirty appointment,
right because I wanted to let her sleep in Sure,
So as we're going out the door, I'm like, you
need to eat something, and I threw her an apple
(34:31):
and she decided not to eat it. So we get
to our medical center. I've got a limping husband, got
three kids. They get all their jabs, No problem great,
but they make you stay twenty minutes just to check
everyone's okay.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
And at that point my husband.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Said to me, you shoot across the road and go
and get your blood test. I'll go up and pay
for all these for the boostricks vaccination. So he goes
up to the reception. I'm at lab tests.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
Next thing, there's a man shouting someone we need help here,
we need help here in the waiting room.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
My husband turns around and our eleven year old is
out cold on the floor and she's banged.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
Her head on the chair.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
She faints.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
So she's passed out because she got the flu.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Jaban the boots stricks together and look, you're allowed to
do that. But because i'd ripped her ount a beard,
no food and she hadn't eaten, so I get it.
I get a curried call from the lab test that
our daughter's passed out, so I'm running back from lab tests.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
We go and put her in a room.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
They take your blood pressure, give us some sugar, and
she comes right. And as that's happening, my nine year
old starts going pale and woozy, and they have to
put her.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
On the other beard because she is suffering the same thing.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
So the moral of the story is people wow when
it rains at pause, and if you're going to get
your jabs next, just.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
Eat breakfast first like a responsible human.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Okay, sugar.
