had no long term staying power and we should just
hand it. They tried to get every person in our
social circle on this side as well.

Speaker 2 (13:33):

were being cheated on.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
Yeah, don't get me wrong, we aren't normally happy about
people's pain, especially the end of a ten year marriage.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
But to say we felt a little vindicated with being
in a statement.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
You on.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
Time, What do you need advice? And we need some
Kiwi friends.

Speaker 4 (14:30):

way to start a really happy and wholesome conversations. Ask
them about that amazing Australian dessert I have had called Pavlova.

No, no friends, wait for our friends.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Politics is always fun.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
No, you've already.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
It's also good to know where people stand on those
sorts of things before you get too deep into it.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
Okay. Conversations to make friends in New Zealand TV shows
shows good ones you've watched lately.

Speaker 2 (15:13):

and we've talked about this on the show, they find
it very hard to connect with Kiwis in Australians are
very like clique. Yes, like people said, they say this
all the time, people that visit New Zealand very clique.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
Jared's actually from another country, Yes, Namibia by way of
South Africa. So you've you've had to make How did
you do it? You were young, when you were arriving,
your parents would have had this conundrum. Yeah, my parents
never really made friends.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Okay, so don't make friends. Put that down on the list.
Don't don't do it.

Speaker 6 (15:46):
For example, Dad's best friend is from Namibia, who immigrated
a couple of years after we moved.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Here, right, But so find other people that have moved
here pretty much friends with them.

Speaker 3 (15:56):

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Hasn't the weather been terrible?

Speaker 1 (16:34):
There are lots of clubs and stuff, because I have
friends that have moved for love and had to find
friends in new towns. And you go like, well, what
are your hobbies? What were you into in high school?
I might join a knitball team.

well you love I think though they're in Hamilton. Oh okay,
yeah what a bugger?

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yeah, jar, I believe you've got some advice.

Speaker 6 (17:12):
Maybe I hate to drag the nerdy side into it again,
but pretty much any hobby store in New Zealand, once
a week we'll have a board game night, or a
D and D night or a like. If you're a nerd,
it's quite easy. So just take along to one of those,
just start talking to people. I've made a few of
my good mates through, like a vagabond or a hobbymaster.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Just you'll go to a swing this club clubs. It sounds.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
If it's a NERD's. If you're a nerd, it's a
bit easier. Which was the antethesis of high school.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Great friends with other nerds. They were like the nerd bond.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
Yeah they were good, and then after high school you
just got to find the other ones, don't you follow
a hobby

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
