Speaker 3 (00:12):
Good morning. Thank you so much for joining us. It's
really nice for on your radio wherever you are listening.
Right now, we are in New York. We landed last
night on MZI to New Zealand, so curre of us.
I'm seventeen hour flights. We're here.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
It's exciting.

Speaker 5 (00:24):
It's a wonderful place.

Speaker 6 (00:26):
TWA airport is where we were parked up, just outside
the JFK terminal. This used to be the terminal for
the airport. It is no longer. It is now a
hotel with a wonderful nineteen sixties theme.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Time magazine voted at number one coolest hotel in New York,
the three and.

Speaker 5 (00:44):
Coolest people around.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Funny any more about this and how you can follow
on our lists and get the trip for yourself in
just a few minutes from now. As you're waking up
across Altado in New Zealand, we have landed JFK Airport
in New York, which is right now undergoing a nineteen
billion dollar refurbishment.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
I know everything figure in the states, right, if this
was a refurb in New Zealand, you know, I would
say in the millions, right, if we.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Were lucky billion. How do you even comprehend that?

Speaker 3 (01:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:11):
Yeah, I mean the part that we're in is obviously
it used to be hotels. So this is what at
nine sixty two Airport.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
This used to be the two o'rent twa Airport. It's
sixties inspired. They call it the coolest hotel in New York.
Time magazine full of that. And when you look at
the menu at the restaurant, it's all inspired by old
school plane menus, leaving them champagne chicken because they sat
down on planes in the sixties. And I said, the.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Coolest thing I think about the hotel that we're in
is the playlist. And I have just looked up on
Spotify there is a TWA Hotel twenty twenty four playlist
that you can download yourself, like I'm listening to I've
Got Sunshine.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
At the moment, like it speaks to myself.

Speaker 6 (01:52):
We walked out of the hotel last night and across
what was effectively a runway up some stairs like we
were the president of the United States only to walk
into an old t w a plane and have a
prosecco in it.

Speaker 5 (02:04):
Like how cool is that?

Speaker 3 (02:05):
I know exactly anything like the in a plane flo
arrivals and departure screens that we're all digital now the
OOLI they flick over like that and they've let them
in here put the little billboards on the left. Right
now it's doing a free drinks on a departure. It's lazingly.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
See little detail has been taken care of. Have you
even got such a hair sel on that's completely taped
with the old school Hollywood lights.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
Around the mirrors and you can sit and get your
hair set.

Speaker 6 (02:28):
Or it's been in James Bond films. It's been in
Catch Me began our iconic scene with Tom Hanks.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
Chase Glen added a camera out of the hotel.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
It's it's a great a reason we coninue you here.
Of course the reason has become Tony Streets expended ten
thousand dollars, cass been now the's to sleeping lives. It's
really early in the morning in New York, right, So
what were these first thols going to go through a
couple of minutes' year? Their thoughts that they touched down
and JMK Airport, teen New Zealand up or in fact,
we're over halfway now to the first seven. That crazy,

(02:56):
I know, I know.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
You know what I keep saying to you.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Remember that time I flew to Francisco when we were
winning seven one, Yeah, and then I was there for
another month.

Speaker 6 (03:04):
I sat next to a champ on the way up
who was coming up to cross over to watch the racing,
and he was like, Oh, I'm not only going to
get there with one race to spare.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
If the key, if the key is keep on just so.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Don't worry.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
There's always a late day, there's always a no win day.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
I'med out even if this so we've had better than
this race as well. But in the moments teen New
Zealand up over in the old Britannia, the Britannia are seeping.
That's more in the news in a couple of minutes
from now. But we are in New York. We've touched
down at JFK Airport in Queens before we make our
way to Long Island little later on. Today we're doing
this with Teresa and her daughter Grace, because Teresa won
Tony Street speaks bender and we tell you not just

(03:40):
to tour around in YC, but also in y State.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah, and we're going to tell you after seven today
that the connection between Theresa and wait for it, the
late Princess Diana, Keanu Reeves and Snoop Dogg, which is
very strange, but we heard the most magnificent story that
we're going to tell you about her after seven.

Speaker 5 (03:58):
He's had a life.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
And also this story coming out of this trip too,
because even on the seventeen our flight, right, so you
get ready for your seventeen hour flight, I have a
compression socks on. It was good to go.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
Oh Jays, you are the model flyer.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
He is the boy scout of flyers.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
Are we surprised by that?

Speaker 3 (04:13):
No? But speaking of socks, is it truly used to
sock for a mask? Whatever?

Speaker 6 (04:18):
Yeah? Well, I like a sleep mask and I didn't
have one in my my jest, so at one point
I just tucked a pair of socks across my eyes
and tucked it into my headphones.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
It worked a treat, but I judged heavily for it.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Can I just say this? This sums up the two
people I work with. Jason's got his compression socks he's
he's got his comfy Barker's pants on all ready for
the flight. Sam turns up and what is the most
uncomfortable pants you can wear on a flight?

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Jeans and a big leave the belt. Sam turns up
in there. He spends his.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Entire year telling us how great sleep masks are, and
he's got about five million.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Sums me up.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Space Yeah, but it's even on no new blokes talking
about space.

tell you why before seven.

Speaker 5 (05:41):
But first ships streating, get excited.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
Space and ships.

Speaker 5 (05:49):
It was shocking news, wasn't it then? And when we
woke up just a week or so ago to.

Speaker 6 (05:52):
Find out one of our New zeald Navy forgets the
h E nz Man was caught up in a reef and.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
Some or caught on fire, very new as well. Yeah, yeah,
didn'ts down the drain.

Speaker 6 (06:03):
Ye yeah, And you kind of figured it was hard
to kind of grasp what those guys had gone through,
and guys and girls that were on the frigate. And
then I was at the barber the other day and
they walked in and they were they.

Speaker 7 (06:19):
Had the whole team, the New Zealand Navy, all five
of them walks.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
I'm pretty sure the women on board wound at the
barber for a haircut.

Speaker 5 (06:28):
Now I don't I don't meant to eavesdrop, but I.

Speaker 6 (06:33):
Got a microphone out and I placed it down. I
had so many questions so first and foremost, it was terrifying,
you know what I mean, like to be in the
middle of the night and for all of a sudden
the boat to hit the bottom of the sea and
the intilt and and they were terrified. They had to
effectively get out over that. You know, there's ways raging.

(06:56):
They were in life rafts. Some guys jump tried to
get into the life rafts and couldn't. Bombing around like
corks in the ocean in the middle of the night.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Where's the recording I want to hear from there?

Speaker 5 (07:08):
I didn't do that. They were like, what if you do?
Don't repeat this on the radio. I said absolutely, told
were yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (07:16):
The other thing was that they had new phones, obviously,
because they lost absolutely every single one of their belongings
on the show.

Speaker 5 (07:25):
And then one of them says same, you know, hang on,
he said, I lost my p S five and I.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
Thought longest you would on watch for a long time.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Golf gear as well, in gear, and it was crazy.
Did went down as well.

Speaker 6 (07:47):
Belie though, When you're on Watch and you're playing g
t A and then all of a sudden you hear
a crunch.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
It's all okay. Anyone's safe who it could have been disasterrous,
massive respect for the many new phones.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
This coasts Feel Good Breakfast catch up podcast with Tony Street,
Jays Reeves and Sam Wallas.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Crossl Total New Zealand. It's to see the first of
the lifetime and Sam, I know you'll be frothing of this. Tony,
maybe not, but it is big news. For the first
time in eighty thousand years, New Zealand's going to get
a column. It's going to flash process. We're gonna be
able to see with the naked eye the first time years.
This first time you'll be able to see it for
eight thousand years.

Speaker 8 (08:26):
Particular comments, Yeah, yeah, yeah, last time you saw a commerce.

Speaker 5 (08:30):
You know, I said, sure, it was Haley's comments.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Why we saw it?

Speaker 4 (08:33):
You never saw it.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Primary school com It comes as like a shooting star, right, yeah, no,
it looks like a shooting star shooting or you didn't
see Haley's comics, So how do you know.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
I remember being at primary school at the time. It
was a big deal. Halles colors coming in and we
see it blah blah blah, and this is going to
be just a big so eighty thousand years ago in me,
I said it's called Samuel. No, this is the CEA
Dash in twenty twenty three eighty three comed.

Speaker 7 (08:58):
Apparently write that down everyone, you know, you know that
what you've seen a shooting star before, haven't you?

Speaker 6 (09:06):
Have you been out underneath a starry night sky the
tent and when there's been no light pollution and a
beautiful shooting star has whipped across the horrors and you've
made a wish.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
I love a twinkling star like the best of them.
But am I going to be up at what three am?
To watch old w X y.

Speaker 5 (09:23):
Z CO star?

Speaker 6 (09:25):
You seem like a shooting star compared to a comma.
Like you might not have seen a comma, but you've
seen a shooting star, seen a shooting star.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah, Tom, it looks like basically, if you look out,
do you see like a really really bright star, that's
Venus right? If you look below that just to the right,
a little fuzzy patch, a little boring smudge, little smudge,
but the thing that's from tonight right through Friday nights
at the time. See it, especially if you're on the
west side of the zil constantly come and go moving
across the skyline like this.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Oh, that's good that there's lots of chance to see it.
The fact we're not in New Zealand. Can we see
it here?

Speaker 6 (09:58):
A shooting star or it's the comments, that's all I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Shooting stars, Well, you should make a wish with the
shooting start. You can be a massive wish with a comic.
Surely if it's.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
Not exciting, why are we talking about the commed?

Speaker 3 (10:10):
Even the insied here on website right now? There's there's
times you're supposed to look up and see that it's insed.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Hero does always get it right?

Speaker 3 (10:20):
I agree with that, Jason.

Speaker 5 (10:23):
I also rewind over it and then record again.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Neighbors in New York right now, But there's more than
New York are just Manhattan and Treble. The US say
if you go there, you can discover more of what
awaits you. With New York State, you actually start planning
and by looking at a whole bunch of stuff on
the website. I Love in Why dot Com and one
of the big boss from I Love in Why dot
Com join us for dinner last night. Ross. What's your
title again?

Speaker 9 (10:46):
What's I'm the executive director of the New York State
Division of Tourism but you've got to right. People know
it's this. I love New York.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Okay, right, so I forgot to mention you're our local
Halloween expert.

Speaker 9 (10:55):
I am. I'm a big Halloween fan here. It hasn't
quite hit New Zealand as much.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
What we do here is we have pizza in New Zealand,
and of course you know New York pizza is something
a little bit different. And when you'll hear this big
golden rule with the pizzas in there as I.

Speaker 9 (11:10):
Did you know, I saw some folks here visiting with
us and saw some forks and knives. You don't see
that with New York pizza. You have to hold it.
Doesn't matter how big it is, doesn't matter how you
know runny it is. You hold it, You sold it.
Some people fold it, some people hold it with two hands.
But no forking.

Speaker 5 (11:29):
Nice.

Speaker 9 (11:29):
That's the only rule.

Speaker 10 (11:30):
And you see that almost ruin the career of there
was there was a former mayor when he was running,
almost didn't get elected because it was quite the scandal
that he was found eating pizza with a forking.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
You basically warned us and said, okay, you haven't left
the hotel yet, but when you do those knuts and
books down.

Speaker 9 (11:48):
You don't want to be pointed at in the middle
of the mania now.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
But there's so much more to this. I mean, you've
also been in the job for a little while now,
and you live a couple of hours away from here,
but you're still in New York. So there's so much
more than New York than just Manhattan, right.

Speaker 5 (11:59):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 9 (12:00):
I mean people think of the skyscrapers, and they should,
and think of the Broadway shows. They don't realize you
could do surfing and be on one of the best
beaches in the world in Long Island, that you could
be up in the largest protected lands in the forty
eighth States and the Adirondacks on the top of a
high peak. That you could be in an island castle
in the middle of the Saint Lawrence Seaway in the
in the Thousand Islands, that you can be standing under

(12:22):
Niagara Falls. That's all New York. You what are you
most excited about for us?

Speaker 8 (12:27):
You know, it wasn't one thing. You're right, I cannot
wipe for you. You know, that's a great question. I'm
very excited that you're going to be seeing a lot
of the sort of great gats be Gilded Age stuff
of New York because we're so much that's so much
part of our history, and you can go to you know,
historic mansions. You're going to be going to Ohika Castle
on Long Island, which is one of the Gold Coast
mansions that's today right, Yes, and that's where that's where

(12:48):
the Great gats Beach took place, was on Long Island.

Speaker 9 (12:50):
And then later on you're gonna be in the Hudson
Valley and season historic homes here. I'm excited for the
Halloween stuff. You're going to see that the Jack O'Lantern blaze,
thousands of pumpkins that have been carved by artists and
placed into sculptures with lighting and dramatic music that you're
going to be able to walk through.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
One of the most popular Halloween attractions, isn't it.

Speaker 9 (13:10):
Yeah, Yeah, it's great, and there's two of them. Actually,
it's been so popular. It started in Sleepy Hollow. You've
heard legend out, So it started in Hudson Valley. That's
a town here in New York north of the city.
It started there, but was so popular that they had
opened a second one, and the second ones in Long
Island too. So yeah, it's very popular. I'm very excited
for all the food and drink experiences you're going to

(13:31):
have that you're going to get that New York pizza.
There can I just.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
Say, I've got a small coffee in my hand right now.
You've got a meter long this would be extra large
and museum.

Speaker 9 (13:40):
Well, welcome to America.

Speaker 5 (13:41):
There's no small in America, that's true.

Speaker 9 (13:47):
Yeah, I'm excited for your biplane ride in the Hudson
Valley at the old Ryan Bick Aerodome, and you know,
getting to go made of the mist under Niagara Falls.
You've got a lot.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Of great out I grew up in a place Zealand
called harps Bay, and we're famous, so it's called the
fruit Bawl of New Zealand, the famous of the apples
and everything. You're telling us that there's some apple you
have to try when you're in New York.

Speaker 9 (14:07):
Well, the thing is the variety of apples here. And
you know, not everyone in New York is into apples,
but many of us are. I am. And if you do,
you have your favorites. So I love the Empire Apple.
It's named we're called the Empire State. So the Empire
apple is sort of sweet tart apple little both the
honey crisp is amazing. It's on the sweet side. You're

(14:29):
going to a wonderful place called Beacon Skiff in the
finger Legs, which is not only a beautiful apple orchard,
but also a distillery that makes ooze from apples. You
can't imagine.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
I think a lot of what we're talking about here, right,
You've got New York.

Speaker 4 (14:47):
And I think kiwis can be We can be quite traditional.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
When we travel, right, we can go to the iconic
places and we are going to do Broadway, We're going
to do I'm going to.

Speaker 4 (14:54):
Go and see Tiffany's. We're going to go to Times Square.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
But we want to inspire you for your niques trip
to why and go a little bit further afield. And
that's why it's so good because you can you can
do our whole trip and following our.

Speaker 9 (15:05):
Footsteps, and it's easy, is the great thing about it. Right,
even for your first time or at least your second time.
If you're in New York City, you could just get
on a train and go to the beach, or you
could go on the train to go up to the
Hudson Valley, and see beautiful views of the Hudson River.
Then when you want to be more adventurous, you could
take the train north of the city, hire a car,
and then fan out around the rest of the state.

(15:26):
There's also short trips, plane trips, affordable sort of basically
almost commuter trips from New York City to places like
Buffalo and Syracuse and Rochester. So it's not only that
you can see those iconic places, because you should. You've
got to go to New York City, but you can
get to the rest pretty easily.

Speaker 4 (15:41):
Easily easy.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
You knew the spot trip as well, you could book
the execs and you will venture follow our footsteps with
travel UI say all the details on our website at
coastal line dot co dot inze. We left a lot
of to night twenty three million dollars cash.

Speaker 5 (15:54):
Can you believe that'd be nice? That's the sweet spot,
isn't it?

Speaker 4 (15:57):
It'd be nice? Twenty three million dollar big spinder.

Speaker 6 (16:04):
I want to talk now about dating, though, and you know,
I think if there's one thing in this world that
motivates me to stay well married as dating, because just
going to a bar and having to make small talk
it just sounds terrifying anyway, expectations of people in the
dating world have changed my day.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
You know.

Speaker 6 (16:23):
Back in the day, you just roll up to them
at a bar and buy them a drink and waddle
around next.

Speaker 5 (16:28):
To them and hopefully go home with them.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
These days, I never went home with anyone that waddled.

Speaker 5 (16:34):
Some of the ones I did. In the dating world.

Speaker 6 (16:42):
Now there is a near all called the six six
sixth rule, and these are expectations for the fellow gentlemen.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
How do you think you go on the modern dating world, Jason?
How do you appear up against the six x sex rules?
Judge so first and foremost six feet tall?

Speaker 4 (16:59):
Bang on, Sam, you're failing.

Speaker 7 (17:01):
No, I reckonnargue that you are five eight at is
so unscared You've got We've been through this so many
signs you have.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
We need to actually get you to be measured because
you always say I'm five foot ten with shoes.

Speaker 6 (17:16):
I don't with shoes on, and if you're in a bar,
you I've got shoes on, you're not so.

Speaker 5 (17:21):
I am six foot I passed the first.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
A good four or five inches to all.

Speaker 5 (17:26):
It's unfair, it's all rule three. You won't pass that one.
Actually rule two have six peg abbs.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
No no, no key really yeah, I'm funny Sam.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
You do have the six packs's making up the hides.

Speaker 5 (17:49):
And a short.

Speaker 6 (17:49):
Man's ego no number six.

Speaker 5 (17:56):
And there's two rules here. You can choose which one
you want. Six finger celery or six inches.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
I don't want to reduce out of six inches. Take
avoid CIRs, just avoid the daily word.

Speaker 5 (18:15):
It all costs.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
Bring this up when you are you're fifty percent.

Speaker 5 (18:22):
It's good news.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
You decide. Shoot Cliff Fridge that is coming, can't stop
me now to us to be no Fember next year.
Auckland will christ us ticket details on our website right now,
Coast online dot co doto. The big news yesterday Sir
Cliff Fridge had coming to New Zealand. We've gone to
New York.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Got we have and we had three questions for you,
and thank you so much for all the texts coming through.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
No surprise, there's a lot of texts voting for Stam
for all three of these. Number one was who overpacked
their bag on the way here by six kgs?

Speaker 1 (18:53):
So you know how the limit is twenty three kg's
one of us over.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
Packed on the way here. We haven't even shopped.

Speaker 6 (18:59):
Yet during whopping size suitcase really is because apparently when
you get to the thirty kg mark, that's the mark
you have to start unpacking it and putting it into
either a colleagues bag or putting in your backpack.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Well, this person was charged extra or someone was charged
extra for this extra way and it was produced to Rose.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
About producer Roses. She's the smallest of us and her
dad actually works to the New Zealand.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
And I don't think there was any actual equipment as
a producer in that bag, not with her personal mask.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
So please don't tell my dad. So disappointed.

Speaker 5 (19:34):
You know the rules?

Speaker 3 (19:36):
Okay, two.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Radio bag and find out who was denied entry to
the Air New Zealand lounge. So as a as a
nice thing from in New Zealand who have sponsored this
strip for us, they let everyone into the lounge right
except one person got it revoked and that was of
course who would only happen to Jason Rey.

Speaker 5 (20:00):
You don't know what I did, so that wasn't the
worst of it.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
Had a chicken and they give you this little thing.
It's like extravauchulate one. Oh wow. We talked to the
New Zealand gentlemen, Jimmy was amazing. Jimmy, thank you very
much for this's not our pleasure, come with me, blah
blah blah. But then you go. Anu and Lady took
one and put them to the side and gave everyone
else there's back.

Speaker 6 (20:18):
The most embarrassing thing is when we're in there, Jason
trying to be nice there everyone and offer someone a knife,
and then he ended up throwing a knife at someone
across the New Zealand allow and.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
We worked out why they didn't want him there in
the first place.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
So anyone's ever going to get left out or isolated,
it's always Jason Best.

Speaker 9 (20:35):
We call it.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Three and most of you were correct with your guesses
for this one who claimed to have done medical papers.
Because Teresa Aviig Spender, her daughter who's twenty two, is here.
She's a second year medical student. And which one of
us do you think suddenly decided to say we're actually
the same people because we've done so many of the
same papers.

Speaker 5 (20:57):
That's an interesting thing about this one. As claimed the
incorrect words is the correct word.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
Just like you claim to have done a double degree,
you've done one degree with a double major.

Speaker 5 (21:07):
Story The thing is though I did I did med
school papers.

Speaker 11 (21:14):
I did physiology up at the med school, and I'll
never forget it because we had to test our wheeze
and it see and our lungs and one person put
their wheze back and they had lumps in it.

Speaker 5 (21:25):
That would never forget that.

Speaker 9 (21:27):
And then.

Speaker 6 (21:30):
And then and then that same person female has seven
liter lungs, really.

Speaker 5 (21:36):
Seven liter lungs. That is literally you have the same
sized lungs as a horse.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
Yes, your own thing. They make pregnant. It was incredible.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
Thankful that he did no further papers and no one
has to have dark.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Your daily feel good breakfast catch up podcast with Coasts Tony, Jason, Sam.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
We're all playing the Chases this morning. We're a plan
where we get back from New York and when we
get back, you could see seven hundred dollars cash for
the chases. Speaking of money though, well, because it's a
Wednesday's time for Milford Money Matters, we're chatting with Gareth
Stife from Milford Asset Management to drill down on DIY investing.

(22:24):
Gareth here to answer a couple of questions, but remember
this is only information to help you understand Moreton's not
financial advice. So Gareth, what's been a DIY investing or
managed fun.

Speaker 12 (22:33):
Needs to interrupt jas because I have to say I
greet him with a smile today because me and Streety
have just checked out Milford asset funds out and we're up.

Speaker 4 (22:40):
You know, it's a great decision, Sam, Sam. Sam just
wishes he wasn't as late to the party as we.

Speaker 5 (22:45):
No, I was late to the party.

Speaker 12 (22:46):
And do you know what I've just I've changed my
gearing to a more aggressive fund and going.

Speaker 5 (22:53):
Nice.

Speaker 13 (22:53):
Well, obviously I work for Milford Asset Management and I
think that managed funds are a better way to go
than DIY investing. But there's a number of reasons for that. Okay,
why Well, the first is tax. So when you do
investing yourself it can get quite complicated with when it
comes to tax.

Speaker 5 (23:13):
But managed funds have all that sordid for you.

Speaker 13 (23:17):
So they're generally what's called PIE investments, which is cool,
which is an acronym for portfolio investment entity which used.

Speaker 12 (23:25):
To have a bit of tax break, didn't it, But
that now has been dissolved that the government winning change
it and lift up to thirty seven the top text
breakt is it right?

Speaker 3 (23:32):
No, So it's still.

Speaker 13 (23:35):
Why Yeah, I love Sam because he always comes in
with like a hot take that is slightly off track.
But it's got its roots in some tax changes. But
the portfolio investment entity, they have a top tax rate
of twenty eight percent. Even if you're a thirty nine

(23:56):
percent taxpayer, the tax on your investments is at twenty
eight percent. Now the tax that has changed is for trusts,
So trusts tax rate has changed to thirty nine percent.
So yeah, I mean, we're not tax advisors, we're investment advisors.
So if you if you want to check your tax situation,
it's best to have.

Speaker 5 (24:16):
A terrible account account.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
This is one of the benefits care one of the
other beautifits of you.

Speaker 13 (24:24):
The main other benefit is that it's a really easy
way to get quick diversification. So if you've got like
ten thousand dollars to invest, it's pretty hard to spread
that across like one hundred or one thousand different companies,
Whereas if you go into well managed funds, they have got.

Speaker 5 (24:42):
That diversification all sorted.

Speaker 13 (24:44):
There's a team of professionals who sit behind that who
look at every every single investment that they're making.

Speaker 12 (24:50):
Wouldn't you be a fall to try and think you
can do it better than someone that does it full
time as a job.

Speaker 4 (24:54):
You'd have to have a lot of time on your hands,
won't you.

Speaker 13 (24:56):
It's it comes into emotion. So when the investment returns
have been good, like you've experienced just recently, it can
be quite tempting to think, oh, this is easy, I
can do this myself. But then what happens is you
get a you get a big sell off, and then
unfortunately people tend to buy at the peak because they

(25:16):
think it's easy.

Speaker 5 (25:18):
Then when it falls they sell as a die. Lock
in those losses as.

Speaker 12 (25:21):
A DIY, It's aw something really good on Instagram the
other day, and this is what you believe in. So
if you've got an Apple phone, if you you know
by you spend advertising on Google, those are the brands
that potentially you should be investing it.

Speaker 5 (25:32):
So maybe I can do it, DIY, I would think.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
After your previous comments, I would leave it. Garrisons just
a half cocked IDEA.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
Advisers are there to help you build a comprehensive investing strategy,

That's right, Tony Streets. Book's been the ten thousand dollars
caster spend. And a few weeks ago we made that
phone call.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
We sure did to Teresa. That was the ball that
I plucked out of our tom Bowler machine. And Teresa,
I'm so glad that you won this. I mean, all
three funalists seemed great, but you just have this vibe
about you, and you got grace here your daughter, who
by the way, has had to bring over her medical
exams to do while we're on this trip. Thought so far, ladies.

(26:35):
After that seventeen hour flight and arriving here at twa oh, well,
the holiday started.

Speaker 5 (26:41):
When we got on the flight.

Speaker 14 (26:43):
We flew premium economy, which was amazing, Like I could
have flown another twenty hours. I was so comfortable it
was I can't go back now. When we landed, that
was just amazing, you know, just coming down looking at
the window.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
That was incredible.

Speaker 4 (27:04):
To This amazing twa hotel is just like we were.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Saying before, incredible. Theresa the Time magazine has called us
the coolest hotel in New York.

Speaker 14 (27:16):
I mean you can tell why, right, Wow, Well, we
actually didn't want to go to bed last night.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
We just wanted to look up atmosphere. It is like
being on a film set. It's so authentic.

Speaker 6 (27:26):
Yeah, I mean, we're away last night, didn't we, the
three of us, And we went for a little wander
up to the top.

Speaker 5 (27:31):
Of the roof, things like that. And isn't that Paul
on the wall looking out over the war with the bar.
It's amazing.

Speaker 6 (27:40):
And there's also a lounge that the recreated from the
nineteen sixties and you walking.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
It's a time warp. It's so.

Speaker 14 (27:47):
And this amazing foyer that I've been told that they
filmed a couple of famous movies here a James Bond film. Yes, right,
it is totally cooled, totally authentic with the furniture.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
But you've made some famous connections in that time. So
we hadn't even got on a plane yet. We're done
to get bombshell dropped around us.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Can you not just bring out in the kodoo Lounge,
the New Zealle Lounge. Oh yeah, that time I dressed
Princess Diana.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
Tell us about that.

Speaker 14 (28:15):
So it's going back to when I lived in London
thirty years ago and I worked for a money and
we got the call that Lady Diana was coming in.
She had some outfitting that she needed she wanted to
wear to some special events. So colleague in mine, we
jumped in a black tab. We went from a porio

(28:37):
to Georgia o'mani where we went into the private room
and where they dress, you know, they're rich and famous.
And she was there with their lady in waiting, a
couple of bodyguards, and we proceeded to you know, we'd
pulled some outfits together before she arrived, and she tried
some things on and she liked she was so demure.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
She was old school, so.

Speaker 14 (29:04):
She's just calm, and she was so polite, so respectful
to us. I can't be sure, but there was some
sort of conversation about my accent.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
Yeah, she was amazing. So just what you see and
have read in the print, that's exactly what she was.

Speaker 5 (29:23):
Like, where is she buying?

Speaker 4 (29:25):
She id like to say about twenty thousand pounds on
a Georgio dress and jacket. Yeah, to see what.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
We've started to get to know Esa a little bit.
And the really cool thing is by listening to this,
you're going to get to know Teresa over the next
few days as well. Worth grace to her daughter who
was on this the trap.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
We should save the story about Keanu recent Snoop Dogg
for another day.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
There are so many I'll tell you what. Today We've
got that teen thousand dollars cases, but we are going
to take you shopping Fifth Avenue, shopping all that sort
of stuff. Were gonna take you to Seem part that
sort of stuff too, But today we're going to take
a killer of wine tour as well, and you can
just go do what you await you in your state.
Start planning by looking at I love ny dot com
and in Coastal loinet co. Got is Embasy traveled USI's

(30:13):
debut outisode of the Special Deal for our special and
amazing costs.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
I want to talk to you guys about wires is
or a Wise card and give us a text on
two sixty nine nine if you have purchased one. I
decided to get one for this trip specifically, and Teresa
and Grace who have come with us, as it turns out,
also have.

Speaker 4 (30:31):
A Wise card.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
So essentially what it is, it's this little green card
and it's called a Wise card, but it also is
essentially a visa. And what you do You take that
and load it up with money when you go on
your trip, and it just takes out any of those
little nigglely transaction fees or you know, when you go
over season you get stung and you go, why am
I getting charged sixty cents here and a dollar twenty here?

(30:54):
And you get back and you're like, God, that really
adds up and it sucks out half of my spending money.

Speaker 6 (30:58):
Yeah, there's also exchange here, and I think as well,
doesn't I have a more competitive exchange rate as you
know when you go to the airport and do it
at the airport to you, Yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Think you're right, Sam. And I think also it convertsed
to you automatically, doesn't It tells you on your phone
at the fire Yeah.

Speaker 5 (31:10):
You choose which currency you select when you do it.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
Well, I've got a I've got a transfer calculator on
my app.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
Now it's really easy to upload because it I didn't
even have to put in like my credit card details
on one bank account. It kind of came and naturally
once I downloaded the app and it got stepped to
me within about two days.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
I haven't used to kits, so I hope it works.
If not, I'll be transferring it all back.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
I applied for mind like about two three sco right
before the school holidays and it.

Speaker 4 (31:35):
Said twelfth of Yeah, but you know how you get ostracized.
There's another example of that. Yeah, so it's just a
hot tip.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
I might live to regret that if it doesn't work
the first time I try and purchase something here. But
if I can avoid all those fees, why not. I've
also got a little.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
Bit of American cash. Did you guys get something that's quite.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Interest seeing how you plan for a trip like this,
You had to put little cache we've got sipping right.

Speaker 4 (32:05):
Doesn't do that. He just goes poot it on Jason's card.
Interesting what happensture.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
If you ever drop.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
The last Sam? Jason and I trembled with Sam.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
We got to the hotel and Sam likes to tell
everyone he's so proud that he never carries anything he
does at all. Virus phone that doesn't work when you
get to a hotel and they say, can we have
your credit card, sir? Just for incidentals. So they had
to go on our room. And then someone had a
million beers, right.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
And then they're not just comes to my room, ridiculous.

Speaker 7 (32:44):
I didn't have a million beers. I had six the fridge.
The spar card arrives, I know it arrived a work ago.

Speaker 5 (32:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
So today we're going to Long Island and we're going
to a place called Ohka Castle. So first of all,
I'd just like to see whether we've followed the advice.
We were told to dress in country club attire and
look a little bit fancy.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
And I say, are you putting the right.

Speaker 5 (33:15):
I'm getting change?

Speaker 4 (33:15):
You're looking at bit care?

Speaker 5 (33:17):
I thought because we want to bed ourself.

Speaker 6 (33:18):
It was like it was quite cold, so I thought
we were going to be filming, you know, recording this morning.

Speaker 5 (33:23):
I thought there was going to be cold. So why
I wore out? I've got two elephants.

Speaker 4 (33:26):
I see you in the same genes you slipped in
the plane on, So I'm just.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
Broke the hardest. So like, as up through this, are
you here getting changed? As we were told? Were something nice?

Speaker 4 (33:38):

eight million.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
Today's one of the world's most prestigious wedding venues in
the world. That you go there and it's amazing.

Speaker 5 (34:15):
So that's kind of the thing is here.

Speaker 6 (34:18):
It's just once again another surprise, isn't it. It's one
of those things that you kind of don't tee up
when you think of trailing.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
To New York Castle in the middle Long Island.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
No. Yeah, Can we also just quickly talk about the
lists because Sam, Sam, We've got these New York tourists

hit them with all the things that are different in
New Zealand to the US last night and they were
looking at you blankly, like where did this list come from?

Look?

Speaker 6 (34:41):
I can't wait for you guys to walk into a
bathroom while we're away here in the US and you'll
spell the wind to green and you'll understand.
