Speaker 1 (00:01):
The Flavor Podcast Network, the Flavor Breakfast podcast with Stace,
Azorah and Charlie.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
On today's podcast, we dive into how much savings you
had in your twinings.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
And the eight week challenge is finally over and they
had a bit of a weird effect on my body
and I.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
Have to make an announcement that's maybe a little bit awkward,
but just has to be done.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Have a listen here on the podcast lord.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
In everybody Good morning.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
He was Stace's Zarah and Charlie Dinna. So it's I've
got to say it. You know, first day post challenge,
what's the haaps? Guys, where did you get to and
what did you eat as your post challenge me? Or
come on, you've been torturing me with us for what
eight weeks? So I got to hear the results. Mine
one was built up. I want to tell you this.
So I had I did my scan.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
On yesterday, say final, done my photos, and then I
to myself, bruh, I'm going to hit the bakery.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I didn't hurt the bakery.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I came home and I had my oatsand protein I
don't I know, I know, and then I had my
morning tea which was proper. Then I went to sleep.
When I woke up, me and the kids, we all
went to watch Mine or two. Oh no, it's awesome, yeah, beautiful.
We're at the Silky So I was thinking, you know
what this is? Now is the time? And then I
(01:15):
ordered up heaps. But you know, I haven't had a
cheap meal throughout the whole eight weeks, and Bro, that
was the worst, the worst decision because.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I in terms of flavor or no.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
No, no, the food was great, but I think just
for for me not having a cheap meal, like in
between the eight weeks challenge, you felt sick, Bro, I
should have won a nappy gross.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I was like, oh oh.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
No, oh no, this is not gonna happen here.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I'm not gonna mistake because of the challenge. But but
your results was your body.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Skin, Uh, it was good. So let's just say my
score was nine point three out of ten.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I mean that sounds great, but like what you lost? Why?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, I lost about like eleven point eight CAGs. It's
awesome better than my three yeah, and everyday, Hey, three
is better than nothing.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
But I gained a bit of muscle and.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I got down to make like my gold fat, which
was seven percent.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Seven Let's leave all the challenge chat right there.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
It's done. Proud of you, Proud of you, Charlie.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Will make your tummy sore be because you're.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
In out in a circle. You are Flavor listeners.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
I just have to tell you something because you take
the time to listen to us on Flavor Breakfast with
Stacys there and Charlie, I have to tell you that
next Friday is my last day here, and I am
finishing at Flavor and finishing at our company. So it's
just a courtesy to tell you because most importantly, Flavor
(02:58):
listeners are my people. I really enjoy getting to talk
to you. I enjoy meeting you. I love that you
love our music. I love that you feel like a community.
So I'm really sad that I'll be leaving, and hard
(03:18):
to talk about leaving you guys, because I'll think about that.
I'll delay think about that ant next Friday. But I
know that when I listen to things like this, I
feel nosy. Go okay, So tell me.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
What you're gonna do. Tell me. I don't have to
keep a new secrets. I don't.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
I don't have another radio job, and I just want
to say that. Go, I'm still in figuring it out mode.
And I just want to say that because I know
a lot of people are like this.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
It's Christmas, so I don't like to be dishonest.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
It's okay to not know and what I think it
is that so I'm telling myself and so yeah, just
sharing that honestly, and it's a shame and I wish
I could. Yeah, I love this brand. I will always
love Flavor and it's really a privilege for me that
it helped start it in two thousand and four and
(04:05):
twenty twenty four. That's a nice round number. And now
I say goodbye next Friday.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, And I just wanted to say as well to Stace.
And even though I know you know all of this, like,
it has been an honor to work with you. I
feel like I have learned so much about myself. You know,
for people that don't know Stace, she's tough, but she
has the biggest heart. You are so kind and you
just love on everyone, whether it's your children or me.
(04:32):
I feel like Stace, you know you've picked up from
time to time being my mother.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Couldn't we say big sister, but okay, mother.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
All of it, all of it into one. I never
had a sister too, so I can't even compare it
to that. And that's the thing, Like I have truly
been through difficult times. We all have, you know, we
are people that have really big personal problems and thoughts
and ideas and trials and tribulations.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
And having Stace in my life.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I can't even imagine what it's been like and what
it would have been like to navigate some of those situations.
And I feel really sad. I'm trying so hard not
to cry. I keep looking at Charlie because I'm like,
I can't look.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, I said, look at me, Bro, I want to
cry to you. Yeah, this is what you want on
Monday morning. He can't thank you cry. I can't imagine,
you know, not working with you.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
But I'm also so grateful for that time too, Like
I'm yeah, it's just been it's been an honor and
that's all I all I have to say.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I guess, yeah, I love getting man.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
You know, I was dreading today, to be honest, and
I think you guys knew it. Like I came in
and I knew that this was going to happen. And
it's probably It's one of the saddest days like at
a workplace for me because I came in here with
no knowledge of radio, and honestly, like Stace has put
like put aside her time, and we understand how busy
(05:55):
she is to like teach me that ins and outs
and I'm still learning.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
But like.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
You know, you you are like a like a mom
to us, and you've always kept that real not just
for work, but also like I have the biggest problems,
like the life problems that I here, not a competition.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
The biggest problem trauma, and we we trauma unload onto
Stacey every day and.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
We lay it out here and honestly, like I always
feel better when I go home.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Like its oh, that is the nicest thing to say.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Seriously, Like you know, this is not just a workplace
for me. I come here. It's a nice little escape.
I get to see you guys. And what I'm going
to miss the most is the view from across you know,
like looking at safe honestly, because when I look at
my car, because you've got the a t part of
people and it's literally behind.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Stacea's going to be it's not going to be the same. No,
oh gosh, but yeah, we love your stace and no
matter what you do and where you go and what
happens next, like you're going to smash it.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
You know, you are such.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
An incredible, incredible person, and whether it's curing about your
kids or your culture and all of the things that
you've done for people all across old or including us.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
We're a very small, small, small snippet of.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
That and the world that you're a part of and
that you've created for so many people. And I think
it's it's like I said, it's been an honor. I'm
so proud to be able to say that I know you,
I sit next to you, You've given me advice, you know,
you've yeah all the time, Yeah Italian and I yeah,
work in progress, work in progress.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
But I just want to say thank you, thank you
for every guys. I love you both. I love you
through the speakers. Nothing changes.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
And that way, what I wanted to talk about and
bring up is this band that Australia brings into action
in one year's time, in.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Twelve months, it's pretty huge news.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
No one under the age of six seen will be
able to go on social media and they include that
includes TikTok Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So I think this is great.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
So we had to put it to you and we
put this post up on Facebook to hear your thoughts
on on you know, not having social media for under
sixteens because where do you guys sit on the middle.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Well, well, the band is puts more onus on the
social media companies to take steps so that under sixteens
can't use their sites. People like live and said fear enough.
Parents don't want to monitor in home. Kids don't want
to listen. You want to be like the people to
see online, so it'd be good for them, hopefully. Marcella says.
Too many kids in this generation with all the technology,
(08:41):
are very introverted and glued to their phones. They need
to get some sunlight instead of being locked in their cave.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Lex says, can we do New Zealand next?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I just want to see the kids on TikTok cry. Okay,
I'm way better, says.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I like it, but I don't know if for the
kids will feel the same.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Om Seriously, this is ridiculous because how will they police
that kids just put in fake birthdays?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Anyway?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
How is it a government issue? Is it a parent
family issue? Well, there's the thing. They do police it,
but only through the social media companies. So if you're
a parent or someone you know as an age of sixteen,
nothing happens to you.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
You don't get in trouble. Just the companies for not
taking enough.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Measures to keep the young and the youth off of
social media tough. One someone goes teachers are in for
a rough period.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Imagine all the kids going into school grumpy.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Oh I know.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Well, I mean you didn't have TikTok. I didn't have TikTok.
We did just fine without, you know, social media. I
didn't get any social media until after sixteen, just because
I couldn't be bothered. Really, I just felt like there
were so many things to have and be a part
of and be on. I had a Facebook and I
barely went on it.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I think it's quite different now, But Jamie sais brah.
They can just change their age on social media to
be old enough, which they do do anyway. So and
another one like Aaron sees most a far too immature
to handle social media. Let's face it, most adults can't
handle social media either.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
So they need to ben it for over sixties as well.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
As of the of the Facebook guys no More Lives.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Stace, Azora and Charlie. It's time for less more less.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
So we've got to guess more or less what the
answer is, and you tell us who's the closest. What's
the topic today?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Okay, my two competitors, It is about marriage.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
It's about weddings because I.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Went to a wedding over the week in Congratulations Scott
and Sasha. This was my first time in Tadanuki, you
know Newport Well, I think I've been to Tartanuki before
for a cow sale. I grew up pretty rurally mate,
so yes, that's how it was for me. But yes,
first time in New Plymouth, also in.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
New Plymouth Town.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
It's right, that's right. So these Christians are all marriage related.
So first Christian being how many people got married for
the first time in twenty twenty three in New Zealand
and New Zealand ah and this is marriages and civil unions.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
They were kind of the same thing, you know, Yeah, ok,
I got this mini Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Stace has said thirty five thousand, and Charlie has said
twenty three thousand.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Chalie, you're corried more or.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Less So people getting married for the first time in
twenty twenty three was thirteen eight hundred and twenty seven
marriages or civil unions.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Oh, you don't say first time.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I said first time, got married for the first time
and then second Christian? How many people got remarried in
twenty twenty three remarriages or civil unions?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Okay, Okay, no, some, I don't know sort of weddings.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Charlie has said forty and Stace has said eight thousand.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Stace, you're more or less it was four.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Nine hundred and eleven Charlie forty.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
But I will just quickly.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Throw in there that the there was in total, eighteen thousand,
seven hundred and forty four marriages and civil unions were
registered to New Zealand residents.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
So that's including the remarriages and things like that. Okay,
to count the ones that eloped, I would assume.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
So if you if you got registered in New Zealand
for your marriage license, then didn't that counted to it?
And last question is how much is the average amount
people spent on a wedding in New Zealand?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Oh, dear, excluding the honeymoon.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Okay, honeymoon, Yeah, I've got an amount there.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Stay has said eighteen thousand, and Charlie has said at
fifteen k say you're it more or less? So the
average cost of a wedding in New Zealand is between
thirty five thousand and forty five thousand excluding the honeymoon.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
What that's just how expensive they are these days. Yep, guys,
this is so hard at more or less? What have
I been seeing online?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Only you know, people sharing what they have saved in
their twenties. So I'm obviously twenty seven, and it's something
that I decided I wanted to do when I was
about twenty four. I realized, Wow, my financial situation is
not great.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Start saving.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I'm not even kidding. I had never saved more than
two thousand dollars and you know, I'm getting to mid
twenty five and I was thinking that's not really where
I want to be. So I had to do research.
I had to look into saving. And I always have
felt like behind are the people of my age.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
So is that it's preened a bit of a quarteror
that's going around and saying, okay, how much have we got?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Is everyone's sharing that? Oh yeah, they're sharing openly in
the comments?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
How much they have saved, or if you know they're
older and out of their twenties, how much they did
have saved. And to be fear, most people they've got nothing.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
So what is the amounts that talking about nothing? I've
got nothing more?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
The people commenting as saying, yeah, pretty much nothing. There
was one.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Person that had about twenty grand, another person had about
fifty grand, but then twenty thousand dollars of a credit
card did so. Obviously a lot of these people there American, right,
and when things start to train, you get people from
all over the world, which is more interesting to see
that most people, they don't have more than ten grand,
need twenties.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Saved in their savings account.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
So I did some research into New Zealand's average savings
for that twenty to thirty age group. It's about six
thousand to seven thousand dollars. Yeah, And I don't know
why that surprised me so much. I think, you know,
you see stuff online apprise you in a good way
or a bad way. It surprised me in a way
where I felt more relaxed, because obviously I was always
(15:05):
quite hard on myself. But you know, I finally got
over the saving ten thousand dollars, you know, for me
to hit double digits on savings, I was like, whoa,
this is so cool, especially when you've never you've never
had that before and so and it took. It took
a lot of research. I looked up how to budget.
Not that I stuck to it. I stuck to it
for like six months, but you know, I was like, no,
(15:27):
you're not touching that money and creating those rules and
barriers for myself.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I never do that before. I lived an overdraft, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
So it was a big life lesson for me, and
it was really hard, but it feels so good. I
find when you have less money, you don't really give
a damn about spending it. You're like, oh, I've only
got a thousand dollars to my name, who cares, may
as well spend it.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
But then once you know.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
You start to step on a break at yeah exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
You get more tight the more money you realize you have.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
So the average you reckon in New Zealand was about
six thousand even really okay cool for your twenties. But
it's interesting, like you say, you look at other people
and then start feel nervous or good about itself.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Isn't it about what you're saving? Four as well?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, yeah, I think you just get as you guys
probably know, you get to an age where you're like, damn,
I kind of want something for myself.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I want, you know, to.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Say, or travel or goal focusing on today. Yes, exactly,
And you know, going back to that point of why
I felt so behind, even though no one told me
I was, was because of online. You see other people
living their lives and you're like, damn, near my age
and they've got a home near my age. You've got
this and they've got But of course, because it's all
(16:40):
the people that achieve those things that.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Share it online, so you're not.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Even seeing someone going I'm twenty seven and I hit
two thousand dollars in my savings, so it'd be a
weird thing to share it.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
So yeah, it's a very interesting conversation.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Yeah, well if people are willing to share it because
different situations. But some people took me ages to realize
some people actually have money from their parents.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, trust on babies. I was like, you know, when
they say the bank of Mama Dad, I'm like, what
are they talking about? You are right, like generational wealth.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I did not know that a Marilyn's love was an adult,
that's for sure. But I mean I want to know
and hear from you guys, Flavor Fano and tips and
tricks on saving and how much money did you truly
have in your twenties? I mean, anything to help me out. Honestly,
there could be a method I'm not using. So eight
to two double.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Ow eight hundred and four flavor, Yeah, I had three jobs,
lived on one, saved that gosh lost it.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Oh my old story, the risky enishment talking about saving
in your twenties.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I am twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I finally hit over the double digits and saving some
proud myself.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Double digits by in a thousand, So ten thousand you mean.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, I'm over that now. And that's not including make
you re save it. So it's something that i've Oh man,
it's been a lot of work.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah. Yeah, it's changing a lot out of it.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
And so you were wondering what normal, what's at Ridge
because it's a topic of conversation on TikTok as well.
People are saying if you were it's like zero or
twenty thousand. I guess like you say, people are more
willing to share once they're doing well.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I guess you're right. You're right.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
And a lot of people that we're sharing on Tiki
TALKI you know that they have credit cards, which I
think is an insane concept to have in your twenties.
You know, they're all like, oh, I've got this much saved,
but I'm like twenty thousand dollars in credit card debt
and I'm like.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Why doesn't make it make sense? I know that's insane.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
So you know, any tips or tricks or where are
you guys at or where were you at, Troy?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I want to know what was it like for you
in your twenties.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
I've been working since last sixteen. I'm now thirty eight.
I've been putting away a minimum of thirty to fifty
dollars a week, and I currently have just over one
hundred and fifty k in a savings account. Wow, right,
did you work it out? If you put away fifty
dollars a week two thousand, five hundred bucks a year.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
True.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
See, it's one of those things where it truly is
a little bit does go a long way, Like it
actually all adds up because for a lot of people,
you know, they might think on you know, steady dollars
isn't a lot to put away each week, But you're right,
if you just stick at it.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Yeah, it's that hard thing though, you know, trying to
find that extra thirty dollars a week, you know, and
like that's not just through savings as well. Like I've
done a few foreigner job and extra has gone into
there as well. And I've had to take money out,
you know, like a mum's juneral costs and stuff like
that when I had to pay for that, so there
(19:37):
there was more. But like I say, you know, it's
a hard road, but if you stick to it as
the rewards are worth it.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
And are you like, what's it sit aside for.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Basically my wi men, because you know, like so I
want to try and give him the best possible start.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
That's absolutely beautiful and I love that advice.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Him a little a bit of a lump of change,
swim he might help.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Nice, You're not bad, You're great, awesome, Thank you so much, Troy.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
And there's hip Hook doing that for his son. I
love that.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
I love hearing that, like you got to leave something
behind for the kids. He's done that.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Well, there's another tixt on eight to two, doub saying
I wasn't a saver period, went to Oz, enjoyed the
high life, traveled the world, came back to New Zealand
and then started saving.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Lol.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I have bought a house with my hubby.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
So sometimes you just need to struggle and then get
smart to figure it out. His tip is to increase
your QP saver to seven or ten percent and then
in a few years you will have a deposit for
your house. That's so true. You've got to struggle before
you get smart.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
And also just don't get overwhelmed to the point. I
know it's easy when you know house prices are what
they are. But if you just give up completely, I
mean that's if you want to buy house. The other
thing is you can just save money and invest it.
You know that's all right.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Too, yes, Which that was another thing that took me
years to learn what investing is.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I'm like, well, I'm an adult now going what the.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Heck stays Azara and Charlie. Let me ask you this question.
Does this theme song sound familiar? You know what? When
I hear that theme song, I could smell fish and chips.
You know, is the theme song of Street Fighter. So
(21:25):
it's the year in nineteen eighty seven, the year Capcom
released the game The Original street Fighter. Though it wasn't
as popular as its sequels, the creators of the Street Fighter,
Takeishi Nishiyama and Hiroshi Matsumoto, decided they needed to up
the ante with a more famous and influential Street Fighter Too,
which came out like in nineteen ninety one, which really
(21:48):
helped establish the franchise and the genre. And if you know,
you know, most of us can relate to this game.
This is my childhood in a nutshell. Really, I would
literally walk to the shops like honestly, rain hail shine,
you know, my mum will get who wants to go
to the shop and get the bread and milk up?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Like ye hear me?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Because you know when you buy the bread and milk,
the change is yours.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
You know, that's for your tongue. And it's like some
parents wouldn't I wouldn't change.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
It wasn't much change, you know, but like you know,
twenty cents, it was twenty things back then. And man,
you would stay there and watch all the older guys play.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I just ah yeah, watching them play with fane like
when they're real good.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
At it, and then you know they were there was
like a like street fighter jargon like sickens broke half
blood brow bow ray sickens.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Leave me wait this one. I still want to know.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Why it reminds your fish and chips because they're the
fish and chips.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
At the Fish and Chips show, you know what I mean,
While people are waiting for their fish and chips, people
would be playing games. But guess what, guys, But this
whole time, I've been saying, some of Kennan Rayu's power
moves so wrong, like a dog again, like you know,
it gives us the breakdown of its meaning and it's
correct pronunciation.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
But what does had means in Japanese means wave like
a wave in the ocean means movement? Ken means fist
combined together moving wave.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
Fist moving way fast, moving way first and then another
thing is like you know, when you're just playing fighting
and primary school, as you say dog dog, there used
to be ryu and King's like, yeah, like you know,
one of their powers.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
But then she breaks it down again.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
Actually in saying sure you can, sure you can sure
means rising?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Do you means dragon?
Speaker 6 (23:48):
Ken means fist, so all together rising drug.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
On fist right, see there you go, man. But you know,
going back to watching all the older boys play, they
had all the tricks because gol usually have this glittering
and the invisible throw the start and even the handcuffing
top point where the shopper used to come. And like
all the or the guy that you used to own
the tegwers and say, hey, you guys can't be doing
(24:14):
these tricks. He y has to turn the arcade off
and on because these guys will just throw the whole
game off.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Chat wow glitcher.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
But you know, I mean, like shout out to all
the all of boys that taught me how to play anyway,
like Ken Faravangas and James Joel. You know, boys, thanks
for giving me your seconds man, and this is why
we remember Street Fighter.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
So it's prize giving time of year at school and
one of the school prize givings was last week they
went to and the Ducks is an incredible award. Right,
so my dad loves to say that he was Ducks
of his primary school.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
That's not really a thing anyway.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
I saw his high school reportcast and that's quite a
different story. But this young man who won ducks at
my son's score.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Ivans is name, and so he academically top grades A
level chemistry, music and physics. Actually got top of the
world and top of New Zealand, to the top of
New Zealand and top of the world for as music.
What in the world incredible, I know. And then he's
also student.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Did he play do you know?
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Yeah, it's not just about the instrument though, but what
did I could see him there playing. I think it
was cello, No, maybe violent, but anyway, he can play
lots of different things. He won Senior Musician of the
Year as well Senior Prefect choir leader as well. Also
just an awesome young man. And so when Ivan was
announced and they started to do a hucker for him,
I noticed filming right behind me.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
I was like, oh, that must be his dad.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
I turned around and his mom's face was just covered
in tears.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
She was just like a wash with tears and she said,
that's my baby. He's so amazing and we great grab
each other's heads.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
I've never met it before, so amazing, he's so amazing.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
And then his dad went, I've seen you on TV.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
You're like, oh, that's just so sweet.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Did you cry?
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Yes, And my son wasn't wasn't there because he's already away,
but you know, got some abstentia, which means that you
you know you're not there. But yeah, it was all
about Ivan and getting the ducks. Like that's incredible. It's
so exciting to go, Okay, where well this guy going.
He is looking at overseas universities and all those kind
of things, but you know people, she said, I think
(26:29):
the most important thing that his mum said, he works
so hard and that's where it gets the results.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
And everyone loved him as well. So yeah, that's pretty
air pay. Top of the world, baby, Top of the world.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, Ducks is definitely the hardest award to get in school.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
But also you know of your top of your field
and you feel like you did your best. I'm here
for that too. The latest celebrity gos from around the
world flavor breakfast, oh am goss.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Chloe Bailey has had to go online and clarify that
she was not trying to head on Kendrick Lamarn.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
He's been in.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
A relationship for a couple of years and for two
decades actually, and they've got two kids. His partner Whitney.
So she just said. All Chloe Bailey said was that
she'd had a question on him when she was a kid,
you know, she was little. That's all she was saying.
Now she has to go online and clarify I'm.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Not shooting my shot at a married man. I was
talking about years and years ago. I was sharing how
I was a diehard Kindrid fan, like from day one.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
You may as well just not say anything if you're
a celebrity, because someone's always going to have something to say.
In an other news, Young Thug, we know that he's
been released from at prison. Well he has dripped out
his lawyer, Brian Steel, who represented him, so he put
him in his clothing label and he's used him for
the advertisement.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
You know, so his lawyers like walking around in this
really cool sick.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Video, you know, wearing all these like real cool hotdies
dripped out as what they're saying. Uh, And I have
to admit, you know, it looks pretty good. It's called
Spider Worldwide, that's the name of the brand. And I guess,
you know, they must have a pretty good relationship, especially
because he successfully got Young Thug release from jail as
a part of a plea deal, and that includes fifteen
(28:19):
years of probation, which is community service and also talking
to students and trying to inspire them.
Speaker 1 (28:25):

Oh yeah, I need help, I need to burk it.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Did you hear about the fire on Auckland's north shore
because of a Temo charger.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
Yes, so it's sparked that this is in Green Heights,
Orkands nor Shore and they put out a warning because
I know you like to buy up on team.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Zo.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
I literally just did a huge Timu haul, got all
my stuff, but I don't know, I don't know if
i'd ever buy electronics from And.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
They're certain that this is course by yes, by the charger.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
So fire.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
An emergency said that the cable being used to recharge
a phone had been put on soft material.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
So what would soft material be? Something like like a.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Pillow, right, yeah, right, and overheated and caught fire. And
so it was that green flashing cord that people know.
I mean, it's not like the neon lights when you're charging.
And I'd say it's not just Timo. You may can
buy a cheek gas session as well in my car. Yeah,
so it was on the Yeah, so they bought the
(32:52):
cord and they left it between their bed and a
pillow that was it was in between them to stop
it get eaten by the pet rabbit.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
To the funny I've seen I've seen this just on
Instagram the other day, Like, because when you're putting your
phone under your pillow that the phone tends to if
you're charging it, the phone tends to like overheat and
then the battery could like burst.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Like that's what's happened. They're so freaky.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
I've never really thought about that, but you know, I
remember being in high school and I think a lot
of teenagers still do it.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
And that's watching things on your laptop.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
You know, your laptop gets really really really hot underneath
if you're just sitting there watching movies or something.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Yeah, so just yeah, yeah, be careful about that. Don't
do that anyway, Hey, don't don't blow, don't blame.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
You've got the same card and you watch your buying
what you're doing with it.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
And the eight week challenge is finally over and they
had a bit of a weird effect on my body

got to say it. You know, first day post challenge,
what's the haaps? Guys, where did you get to and
what did you eat as your post challenge me? Or
come on, you've been torturing me with us for what
eight weeks? So I got to hear the results. Mine
one was built up. I want to tell you this.
So I had I did my scan.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
On yesterday, say final, done my photos, and then I
to myself, bruh, I'm going to hit the bakery.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I didn't hurt the bakery.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I came home and I had my oatsand protein I
don't I know, I know, and then I had my
morning tea which was proper. Then I went to sleep.
When I woke up, me and the kids, we all
went to watch Mine or two. Oh no, it's awesome, yeah, beautiful.
We're at the Silky So I was thinking, you know
what this is? Now is the time? And then I
(01:15):
ordered up heaps. But you know, I haven't had a
cheap meal throughout the whole eight weeks, and Bro, that
was the worst, the worst decision because.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I in terms of flavor or no.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
No, no, the food was great, but I think just
for for me not having a cheap meal, like in
between the eight weeks challenge, you felt sick, Bro, I
should have won a nappy gross.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I was like, oh oh.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
No, oh no, this is not gonna happen here.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I'm not gonna mistake because of the challenge. But but
your results was your body.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Skin, Uh, it was good. So let's just say my
score was nine point three out of ten.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I mean that sounds great, but like what you lost? Why?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, I lost about like eleven point eight CAGs. It's
awesome better than my three yeah, and everyday, Hey, three
is better than nothing.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
But I gained a bit of muscle and.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I got down to make like my gold fat, which
was seven percent.

to say that. Go, I'm still in figuring it out mode.
And I just want to say that because I know
a lot of people are like this.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
It's Christmas, so I don't like to be dishonest.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
It's okay to not know and what I think it
is that so I'm telling myself and so yeah, just
sharing that honestly, and it's a shame and I wish
I could. Yeah, I love this brand. I will always
love Flavor and it's really a privilege for me that
it helped start it in two thousand and four and

twenty twenty four. That's a nice round number. And now
I say goodbye next Friday.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, And I just wanted to say as well to Stace.
And even though I know you know all of this, like,
it has been an honor to work with you. I
feel like I have learned so much about myself. You know,
for people that don't know Stace, she's tough, but she
has the biggest heart. You are so kind and you
just love on everyone, whether it's your children or me.
(04:32):
I feel like Stace, you know you've picked up from
time to time being my mother.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Couldn't we say big sister, but okay, mother.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
All of it, all of it into one. I never
had a sister too, so I can't even compare it
to that. And that's the thing, Like I have truly
been through difficult times. We all have, you know, we
are people that have really big personal problems and thoughts
and ideas and trials and tribulations.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
And having Stace in my life.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I can't even imagine what it's been like and what
it would have been like to navigate some of those situations.
And I feel really sad. I'm trying so hard not
to cry. I keep looking at Charlie because I'm like,
I can't look.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, I said, look at me, Bro, I want to
cry to you. Yeah, this is what you want on
Monday morning. He can't thank you cry. I can't imagine,
you know, not working with you.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
But I'm also so grateful for that time too, Like
I'm yeah, it's just been it's been an honor and
that's all I all I have to say.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I guess, yeah, I love getting man.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
You know, I was dreading today, to be honest, and
I think you guys knew it. Like I came in
and I knew that this was going to happen. And
it's probably It's one of the saddest days like at
a workplace for me because I came in here with
no knowledge of radio, and honestly, like Stace has put
like put aside her time, and we understand how busy
(05:55):
she is to like teach me that ins and outs
and I'm still learning.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
But like.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
You know, you you are like a like a mom
to us, and you've always kept that real not just
for work, but also like I have the biggest problems,
like the life problems that I here, not a competition.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
The biggest problem trauma, and we we trauma unload onto
Stacey every day and.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
We lay it out here and honestly, like I always
feel better when I go home.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Like its oh, that is the nicest thing to say.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Seriously, Like you know, this is not just a workplace
for me. I come here. It's a nice little escape.
I get to see you guys. And what I'm going
to miss the most is the view from across you know,
like looking at safe honestly, because when I look at
my car, because you've got the a t part of
people and it's literally behind.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Stacea's going to be it's not going to be the same. No,
oh gosh, but yeah, we love your stace and no
matter what you do and where you go and what
happens next, like you're going to smash it.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
You know, you are such.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
An incredible, incredible person, and whether it's curing about your
kids or your culture and all of the things that
you've done for people all across old or including us.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
We're a very small, small, small snippet of.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
That and the world that you're a part of and
that you've created for so many people. And I think
it's it's like I said, it's been an honor. I'm
so proud to be able to say that I know you,
I sit next to you, You've given me advice, you know,
you've yeah all the time, Yeah Italian and I yeah,
work in progress, work in progress.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
But I just want to say thank you, thank you
for every guys. I love you both. I love you
through the speakers. Nothing changes.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
And that way, what I wanted to talk about and
bring up is this band that Australia brings into action
in one year's time, in.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Twelve months, it's pretty huge news.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
No one under the age of six seen will be
able to go on social media and they include that
includes TikTok Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So I think this is great.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
So we had to put it to you and we
put this post up on Facebook to hear your thoughts
on on you know, not having social media for under
sixteens because where do you guys sit on the middle.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Well, well, the band is puts more onus on the
social media companies to take steps so that under sixteens
can't use their sites. People like live and said fear enough.
Parents don't want to monitor in home. Kids don't want
to listen. You want to be like the people to
see online, so it'd be good for them, hopefully. Marcella says.
Too many kids in this generation with all the technology,
(08:41):
are very introverted and glued to their phones. They need
to get some sunlight instead of being locked in their cave.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Lex says, can we do New Zealand next?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I just want to see the kids on TikTok cry. Okay,
I'm way better, says.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I like it, but I don't know if for the
kids will feel the same.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Om Seriously, this is ridiculous because how will they police
that kids just put in fake birthdays?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Anyway?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
How is it a government issue? Is it a parent
family issue? Well, there's the thing. They do police it,
but only through the social media companies. So if you're
a parent or someone you know as an age of sixteen,
nothing happens to you.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
You don't get in trouble. Just the companies for not
taking enough.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Measures to keep the young and the youth off of
social media tough. One someone goes teachers are in for
a rough period.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Imagine all the kids going into school grumpy.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Oh I know.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Well, I mean you didn't have TikTok. I didn't have TikTok.
We did just fine without, you know, social media. I
didn't get any social media until after sixteen, just because
I couldn't be bothered. Really, I just felt like there
were so many things to have and be a part
of and be on. I had a Facebook and I
barely went on it.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I think it's quite different now, But Jamie sais brah.
They can just change their age on social media to
be old enough, which they do do anyway. So and
another one like Aaron sees most a far too immature
to handle social media. Let's face it, most adults can't
handle social media either.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
So they need to ben it for over sixties as well.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
As of the of the Facebook guys no More Lives.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Stace, Azora and Charlie. It's time for less more less.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
So we've got to guess more or less what the
answer is, and you tell us who's the closest. What's
the topic today?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Okay, my two competitors, It is about marriage.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
It's about weddings because I.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Went to a wedding over the week in Congratulations Scott
and Sasha. This was my first time in Tadanuki, you
know Newport Well, I think I've been to Tartanuki before
for a cow sale. I grew up pretty rurally mate,
so yes, that's how it was for me. But yes,
first time in New Plymouth, also in.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
New Plymouth Town.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
It's right, that's right. So these Christians are all marriage related.
So first Christian being how many people got married for
the first time in twenty twenty three in New Zealand
and New Zealand ah and this is marriages and civil unions.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
They were kind of the same thing, you know, Yeah, ok,
I got this mini Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Stace has said thirty five thousand, and Charlie has said
twenty three thousand.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Chalie, you're corried more or.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Less So people getting married for the first time in
twenty twenty three was thirteen eight hundred and twenty seven
marriages or civil unions.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Oh, you don't say first time.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I said first time, got married for the first time
and then second Christian? How many people got remarried in
twenty twenty three remarriages or civil unions?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Okay, Okay, no, some, I don't know sort of weddings.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Charlie has said forty and Stace has said eight thousand.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Stace, you're more or less it was four.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Nine hundred and eleven Charlie forty.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
But I will just quickly.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Throw in there that the there was in total, eighteen thousand,
seven hundred and forty four marriages and civil unions were
registered to New Zealand residents.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
So that's including the remarriages and things like that. Okay,
to count the ones that eloped, I would assume.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
So if you if you got registered in New Zealand
for your marriage license, then didn't that counted to it?
And last question is how much is the average amount
people spent on a wedding in New Zealand?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Oh, dear, excluding the honeymoon.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Okay, honeymoon, Yeah, I've got an amount there.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Stay has said eighteen thousand, and Charlie has said at
fifteen k say you're it more or less? So the
average cost of a wedding in New Zealand is between
thirty five thousand and forty five thousand excluding the honeymoon.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
What that's just how expensive they are these days. Yep, guys,
this is so hard at more or less? What have
I been seeing online?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Only you know, people sharing what they have saved in
their twenties. So I'm obviously twenty seven, and it's something
that I decided I wanted to do when I was
about twenty four. I realized, Wow, my financial situation is
not great.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Start saving.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I'm not even kidding. I had never saved more than
two thousand dollars and you know, I'm getting to mid
twenty five and I was thinking that's not really where
I want to be. So I had to do research.
I had to look into saving. And I always have
felt like behind are the people of my age.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
So is that it's preened a bit of a quarteror
that's going around and saying, okay, how much have we got?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Is everyone's sharing that? Oh yeah, they're sharing openly in
the comments?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
How much they have saved, or if you know they're
older and out of their twenties, how much they did
have saved. And to be fear, most people they've got nothing.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
So what is the amounts that talking about nothing? I've
got nothing more?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
The people commenting as saying, yeah, pretty much nothing. There
was one.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Person that had about twenty grand, another person had about
fifty grand, but then twenty thousand dollars of a credit
card did so. Obviously a lot of these people there American, right,
and when things start to train, you get people from
all over the world, which is more interesting to see
that most people, they don't have more than ten grand,
need twenties.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Saved in their savings account.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
So I did some research into New Zealand's average savings
for that twenty to thirty age group. It's about six
thousand to seven thousand dollars. Yeah, And I don't know
why that surprised me so much. I think, you know,
you see stuff online apprise you in a good way
or a bad way. It surprised me in a way
where I felt more relaxed, because obviously I was always
(15:05):
quite hard on myself. But you know, I finally got
over the saving ten thousand dollars, you know, for me
to hit double digits on savings, I was like, whoa,
this is so cool, especially when you've never you've never
had that before and so and it took. It took
a lot of research. I looked up how to budget.
Not that I stuck to it. I stuck to it
for like six months, but you know, I was like, no,
(15:27):
you're not touching that money and creating those rules and
barriers for myself.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I never do that before. I lived an overdraft, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
So it was a big life lesson for me, and
it was really hard, but it feels so good. I
find when you have less money, you don't really give
a damn about spending it. You're like, oh, I've only
got a thousand dollars to my name, who cares, may
as well spend it.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
But then once you know.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
You start to step on a break at yeah exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
You get more tight the more money you realize you have.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
So the average you reckon in New Zealand was about
six thousand even really okay cool for your twenties. But
it's interesting, like you say, you look at other people
and then start feel nervous or good about itself.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Isn't it about what you're saving? Four as well?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, yeah, I think you just get as you guys
probably know, you get to an age where you're like, damn,
I kind of want something for myself.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I want, you know, to.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Say, or travel or goal focusing on today. Yes, exactly,
And you know, going back to that point of why
I felt so behind, even though no one told me
I was, was because of online. You see other people
living their lives and you're like, damn, near my age
and they've got a home near my age. You've got
this and they've got But of course, because it's all
(16:40):
the people that achieve those things that.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Share it online, so you're not.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Even seeing someone going I'm twenty seven and I hit
two thousand dollars in my savings, so it'd be a
weird thing to share it.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
So yeah, it's a very interesting conversation.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Yeah, well if people are willing to share it because
different situations. But some people took me ages to realize
some people actually have money from their parents.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, trust on babies. I was like, you know, when
they say the bank of Mama Dad, I'm like, what
are they talking about? You are right, like generational wealth.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I did not know that a Marilyn's love was an adult,
that's for sure. But I mean I want to know
and hear from you guys, Flavor Fano and tips and
tricks on saving and how much money did you truly
have in your twenties? I mean, anything to help me out. Honestly,
there could be a method I'm not using. So eight
to two double.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Ow eight hundred and four flavor, Yeah, I had three jobs,
lived on one, saved that gosh lost it.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Oh my old story, the risky enishment talking about saving
in your twenties.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I am twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I finally hit over the double digits and saving some
proud myself.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Double digits by in a thousand, So ten thousand you mean.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, I'm over that now. And that's not including make
you re save it. So it's something that i've Oh man,
it's been a lot of work.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah. Yeah, it's changing a lot out of it.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
And so you were wondering what normal, what's at Ridge
because it's a topic of conversation on TikTok as well.
People are saying if you were it's like zero or
twenty thousand. I guess like you say, people are more
willing to share once they're doing well.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I guess you're right. You're right.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
And a lot of people that we're sharing on Tiki
TALKI you know that they have credit cards, which I
think is an insane concept to have in your twenties.
You know, they're all like, oh, I've got this much saved,
but I'm like twenty thousand dollars in credit card debt
and I'm like.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Why doesn't make it make sense? I know that's insane.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
So you know, any tips or tricks or where are
you guys at or where were you at, Troy?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I want to know what was it like for you
in your twenties.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
I've been working since last sixteen. I'm now thirty eight.
I've been putting away a minimum of thirty to fifty
dollars a week, and I currently have just over one
hundred and fifty k in a savings account. Wow, right,
did you work it out? If you put away fifty
dollars a week two thousand, five hundred bucks a year.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
True.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
See, it's one of those things where it truly is
a little bit does go a long way, Like it
actually all adds up because for a lot of people,
you know, they might think on you know, steady dollars
isn't a lot to put away each week, But you're right,
if you just stick at it.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Yeah, it's that hard thing though, you know, trying to
find that extra thirty dollars a week, you know, and
like that's not just through savings as well. Like I've
done a few foreigner job and extra has gone into
there as well. And I've had to take money out,
you know, like a mum's juneral costs and stuff like
that when I had to pay for that, so there
(19:37):
there was more. But like I say, you know, it's
a hard road, but if you stick to it as
the rewards are worth it.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
And are you like, what's it sit aside for.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Basically my wi men, because you know, like so I
want to try and give him the best possible start.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
That's absolutely beautiful and I love that advice.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Him a little a bit of a lump of change,
swim he might help.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Nice, You're not bad, You're great, awesome, Thank you so much, Troy.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
And there's hip Hook doing that for his son. I
love that.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
I love hearing that, like you got to leave something
behind for the kids. He's done that.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Well, there's another tixt on eight to two, doub saying
I wasn't a saver period, went to Oz, enjoyed the
high life, traveled the world, came back to New Zealand
and then started saving.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Lol.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I have bought a house with my hubby.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
So sometimes you just need to struggle and then get
smart to figure it out. His tip is to increase
your QP saver to seven or ten percent and then
in a few years you will have a deposit for
your house. That's so true. You've got to struggle before
you get smart.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
And also just don't get overwhelmed to the point. I
know it's easy when you know house prices are what
they are. But if you just give up completely, I
mean that's if you want to buy house. The other
thing is you can just save money and invest it.
You know that's all right.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Too, yes, Which that was another thing that took me
years to learn what investing is.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I'm like, well, I'm an adult now going what the.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Heck stays Azara and Charlie. Let me ask you this question.
Does this theme song sound familiar? You know what? When
I hear that theme song, I could smell fish and chips.
You know, is the theme song of Street Fighter. So
(21:25):
it's the year in nineteen eighty seven, the year Capcom
released the game The Original street Fighter. Though it wasn't
as popular as its sequels, the creators of the Street Fighter,
Takeishi Nishiyama and Hiroshi Matsumoto, decided they needed to up
the ante with a more famous and influential Street Fighter Too,
which came out like in nineteen ninety one, which really
(21:48):
helped establish the franchise and the genre. And if you know,
you know, most of us can relate to this game.
This is my childhood in a nutshell. Really, I would
literally walk to the shops like honestly, rain hail shine,
you know, my mum will get who wants to go
to the shop and get the bread and milk up?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Like ye hear me?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Because you know when you buy the bread and milk,
the change is yours.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
You know, that's for your tongue. And it's like some
parents wouldn't I wouldn't change.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
It wasn't much change, you know, but like you know,
twenty cents, it was twenty things back then. And man,
you would stay there and watch all the older guys play.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I just ah yeah, watching them play with fane like
when they're real good.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
At it, and then you know they were there was
like a like street fighter jargon like sickens broke half
blood brow bow ray sickens.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Leave me wait this one. I still want to know.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Why it reminds your fish and chips because they're the
fish and chips.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
At the Fish and Chips show, you know what I mean,
While people are waiting for their fish and chips, people
would be playing games. But guess what, guys, But this
whole time, I've been saying, some of Kennan Rayu's power
moves so wrong, like a dog again, like you know,
it gives us the breakdown of its meaning and it's
correct pronunciation.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
But what does had means in Japanese means wave like
a wave in the ocean means movement? Ken means fist
combined together moving wave.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
Fist moving way fast, moving way first and then another
thing is like you know, when you're just playing fighting
and primary school, as you say dog dog, there used
to be ryu and King's like, yeah, like you know,
one of their powers.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
But then she breaks it down again.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
Actually in saying sure you can, sure you can sure
means rising?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Do you means dragon?
Speaker 6 (23:48):
Ken means fist, so all together rising drug.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
On fist right, see there you go, man. But you know,
going back to watching all the older boys play, they
had all the tricks because gol usually have this glittering
and the invisible throw the start and even the handcuffing
top point where the shopper used to come. And like
all the or the guy that you used to own
the tegwers and say, hey, you guys can't be doing
(24:14):
these tricks. He y has to turn the arcade off
and on because these guys will just throw the whole
game off.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Chat wow glitcher.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
But you know, I mean, like shout out to all
the all of boys that taught me how to play anyway,
like Ken Faravangas and James Joel. You know, boys, thanks
for giving me your seconds man, and this is why
we remember Street Fighter.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
So it's prize giving time of year at school and
one of the school prize givings was last week they
went to and the Ducks is an incredible award. Right,
so my dad loves to say that he was Ducks
of his primary school.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
That's not really a thing anyway.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
I saw his high school reportcast and that's quite a
different story. But this young man who won ducks at
my son's score.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Ivans is name, and so he academically top grades A
level chemistry, music and physics. Actually got top of the
world and top of New Zealand, to the top of
New Zealand and top of the world for as music.
What in the world incredible, I know. And then he's
also student.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Did he play do you know?
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Yeah, it's not just about the instrument though, but what
did I could see him there playing. I think it
was cello, No, maybe violent, but anyway, he can play
lots of different things. He won Senior Musician of the
Year as well Senior Prefect choir leader as well. Also
just an awesome young man. And so when Ivan was
announced and they started to do a hucker for him,
I noticed filming right behind me.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
I was like, oh, that must be his dad.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
I turned around and his mom's face was just covered
in tears.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
She was just like a wash with tears and she said,
that's my baby. He's so amazing and we great grab
each other's heads.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
I've never met it before, so amazing, he's so amazing.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
And then his dad went, I've seen you on TV.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
You're like, oh, that's just so sweet.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Did you cry?
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Yes, And my son wasn't wasn't there because he's already away,
but you know, got some abstentia, which means that you
you know you're not there. But yeah, it was all
about Ivan and getting the ducks. Like that's incredible. It's
so exciting to go, Okay, where well this guy going.
He is looking at overseas universities and all those kind
of things, but you know people, she said, I think
(26:29):
the most important thing that his mum said, he works
so hard and that's where it gets the results.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
And everyone loved him as well. So yeah, that's pretty
air pay. Top of the world, baby, Top of the world.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, Ducks is definitely the hardest award to get in school.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
But also you know of your top of your field
and you feel like you did your best. I'm here
for that too. The latest celebrity gos from around the
world flavor breakfast, oh am goss.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Oh my.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Chloe Bailey has had to go online and clarify that
she was not trying to head on Kendrick Lamarn.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
He's been in.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
A relationship for a couple of years and for two
decades actually, and they've got two kids. His partner Whitney.
So she just said. All Chloe Bailey said was that
she'd had a question on him when she was a kid,
you know, she was little. That's all she was saying.
Now she has to go online and clarify I'm.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Not shooting my shot at a married man. I was
talking about years and years ago. I was sharing how
I was a diehard Kindrid fan, like from day one.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
You may as well just not say anything if you're
a celebrity, because someone's always going to have something to say.
In an other news, Young Thug, we know that he's
been released from at prison. Well he has dripped out
his lawyer, Brian Steel, who represented him, so he put
him in his clothing label and he's used him for
the advertisement.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
You know, so his lawyers like walking around in this
really cool sick.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Video, you know, wearing all these like real cool hotdies
dripped out as what they're saying. Uh, And I have
to admit, you know, it looks pretty good. It's called
Spider Worldwide, that's the name of the brand. And I guess,
you know, they must have a pretty good relationship, especially
because he successfully got Young Thug release from jail as
a part of a plea deal, and that includes fifteen
(28:19):
years of probation, which is community service and also talking
to students and trying to inspire them.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
That's a part of his probation.
