Speaker 1 (00:00):
Coast Breakfast brought to you by Bargain Chemist Their Policy,
New Zealand's Cheapest Chemist, Tony Jason Sam's feel good Breakfast
Can't Shut podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
On today's Breakfast catch up podcast, we speak to Jeff
Wilson about the Super Rugby competition as it winds up
and heads to the nitty gritty. But we also talk
about the types of different photographers, which one are you
and don't bother turning off the lights. It's not saving
as much money as you think. All that and more
on today's breakfast podcast. This is Coas brought to you

(00:32):
by Bargain Chemists Their Policy, New Zealand's Cheapest Chemists, and
I suspect there'd be some chemist visits today because we
are a couple people down, Tony and Jase. We have
got a call from Tony's husband this morning at about
four am saying Tony had been up since one o'clock
with what sounded like a meat ball incident. Producer Rosie.
So that's disgusting. My fingers crossed. That everyone's okay and

(00:53):
it's just Jason with the man flu. I'm sure he'll
be fine by Monday. What does he had here? Three
days off a little bit of a tickle on the show.
That's right, it's not going to stop me from doing
this though, right you go, And right now it's time

(01:14):
for Sam's week news, weekly news, like a wrap the
week news. We have to stop this. Let's get into
what the king has his birthday and we all had
a day off. He didn't know.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Well, in the UK, there's a new meaning to the
phrase cash is King, with King Charles presented with the
first new banknotes featuring his face.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yes, he's been waiting seventy five years to have his
face on the banknotes, just in time for the banknotes
to be irrelevant. And if that's not a metaphor, I
don't know what it is. That is cruel indeed, and
a new tourist attraction. And Dargable many Fano that are
pulling their teeth out with pliers. God knows what they're
taking for pain relief. Good Heaven's Dargable gives a dental clinic. Yes,

(01:57):
they didn't have one. Unbelievable And this day and age
one of my favorite parts of the country. Though Glink
Scully Poe too beautiful people, terrible teeth. Let's get political.
The government says no to funding cancer drugs, but finds
four billion dollars for potholes, which makes you think New
Zealand must have more potholes than Bill Rolston. And what
are they using to fill them? Who are they using

(02:20):
to fill them? Dentists a Yes, Ebba Receiver, Swedish Night
of It, and Robert Irwin sparks controversy by appearing in
a Twisty's commercial.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Nstituents, I say, chicken is the people's twistings. Sure, cheese
came first, but second borns were made to perfection.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Sorry. First of all, a chicken twist is not right.
It rosie a chicken twist quite hard. Well you think
of chicken chips, though they're quite good, I know, but
the twisty is an institution. It's orange, just not quite
a yellow twisty as opposed to an orange, so it's where. Secondly,
Australian's outrage commercializing the sacred Irwin name has proven to

(03:05):
be a real dagger to the hearts too far a
big week for the world's leaders. Hold your half eatn Taco.
Mexico has a new president and she's a woman. Faraje
gets a milkshake to the face, which I'm sure Stephen
Joyce is feeling hard done by and Donald Trump's guilty
conviction has him contemplating the Crowbar motel. Judge could decide

(03:27):
to say, hey, house, arrest, read and jail. I'm okay
with it. One of my lawyers the other day on
televisions saying, oh, no, you don't want to do that.
To the present, I said, don't you know, beg for anything,
Laura as we call him now, the forty fifth president
of the United States. That's good, That's that's a high
level of dad jokes. Right.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Elon Mask is connecting the world with his high speed internet,
linking one of the most isolated tribes in the world
with Starlink, and after nine months they now have a
problem with video games, phone addiction and watching pornography or
as we call it here at Coast week in at
Jason's house for himself, which makes it even better. And
we are a terror. We are terrible at pecking lotto numbers.

(04:09):
We've failed to pick them right once again. So tomorrow
jack pot is fifty million dollars, So good luck to everybody.
And that was the wee can use without crowd effects
from Tony and Jason John said, God there, now I
want to talk to you about photography. Occasionally we all
need to have photos taken for us. And Rosie, our producer,

(04:31):
already know you're going to come down on me on us. Well,
people transform, don't they As soon as you're say can
you take a take a photo for me? They take
on a certain persona or role. And I'm going to
read a list here and I want you to try
and work out which one of these you transform into.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
And if you were at the Paper plus book Club
down and Chrish, it probably would have seen my style
of taking.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
You do it, You do a very specific thing. The
first one is the landscaper. This is turning the camera
on its side, which used to be the correct thing
to do, but now with social media and everything being vertical,
never turns dad does. It's a it's an older thing. Yeah.
It is the wide shot. You stand so far back

(05:11):
it looks like someone's walked into your scenery shot. Those
are quite nice, though there sometimes look good on the
I can do. The dedicated professional gets and takes a
million shots and photo and portrait mode and skims through
all your settings. Are you saying this one's no it's
not you do do that though you.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Don't really use the portrait mode?

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Are you? The contortionist bends themselves into weird different positions
while taking snaps? Do you think I do that? That's
what you do. You frame up and then you you
move your body to go close, wide, change, trying.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
To give you some different options and you know, make
sure everyone's happy with the angle.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
You are the contortionists. What about the finger and shot?
Infinitely disappointed when you get that back, and you know
you're dealing with an amateur.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
At that point, and if you haven't taken the multiple photos,
then that's going to be on the options.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
You take multiple that's right, the great planner, take at
least five minutes and you get one photo back.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
See that.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
It's even worse and the most annoying of all is
how to unlock this phone? Now there's a learning from
this list. I don't know which which one of these
personas you take on, but every single phone, and it's
my biggest bugby, it can be unlocked without having the
person's past go a camera. There's a little camera button
down the bottom. If you find that you don't have
to get the person to unlock their phone. I wanted

(06:25):
to finish with a learning Okay, that's all for me.
That is the list of the photographers and how people.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
I think the Contortionist is definitely the best way to go.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
You reckon Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Coasts, Feel Good, Breefast to catch Up podcast with Coasts,
Tony Street, Jas Reeves, and Sam Wallace, Tony and Jace Away.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Today we've got a meatball incident and Jason's a little
bit sick, but it's not going to stop us from
doing our journals and every week it is inspired by
Matthew McConaughey. And the reason we use this audio from
Matthew McConaughey is his g because he wrote a book
which had nothing written in it was just cues to journal,
and that is great marketing.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
All right, all right, all right, yes, indeed you are
the author of your story of your journal. In this journal,
you will get to know yourself better, and who better
to get to.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Know Indeed, now I am going to go first here,
and that is because producer Rosie she hasn't done her
own journal, but Tony Street is so organized. She seemed
to me last night she emailed what she's going to
say through so Rosie's going to read that in just
a second, but I'll do mine because I have some
big news for you, dear journal. Doesn't time fly And
the older you get, the faster it goes. Can you

(07:43):
believe we are already halfway through the year. But over
the last few weeks time has slowed down because I've
started a countdown clop for a family holiday to Europe
twenty days from today, and boy, is time moving slowly now.
It includes Venice, a villa in Tuscany, Rome, a cruise
through the Mediterranean. This is not something my family could
ever afford. My parents they have never paid for anything.

(08:07):
They are old school like that. You have to learn
the value of money, boy, But this time my parents
are paying for the trip from the inheritance from my grandparents.
My grandfather. He was a fabricator, a welder. My grandmother
one of the most intelligent women I have ever known,
who lived through a time where she was never able
to meet her true potential. She never got to see

(08:28):
the world, let alone conquer it like I know she
would have. But together they have passed on the opportunity
for us to see it. This is my grandparents' gift
to their great grandchildren, children they have never met, but
in experience we know they will certainly approve of well
maybe not the cruise ship's unlimited drinks package, but the
chance to see the world one hundred percent. This is

(08:48):
the ultimate example of the man or the woman that
plants the tree, who shade they will never sit under.
That was so great, Sam, Thank you. It's very cool,
and that trip sounds I'm away for a little bit.
It's going to be amazing. I mean that week. We
could never afford this trip and it is the chance.
It is the trip of a lifetime. So yeah, I've

(09:10):
absolutely filled with gratitude for my parents and for my
grandparents that obviously have passed away and have allowed us
to do this. So it's really cool. And on to
Tony's channel, go for it.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
So yeah, she sent this to me last night before
she knew she was going to be sick. Journal You'd
think after forty years of practice, the penny would have
finally dropped by now for me, but I'm sorry to
report it hasn't. You See, getting up early for work,
running a household, and chasing round after three very active
young children requires an incredible amount of energy, and most

(09:40):
days I've got energy in spades, but there always comes
a tipping point, especially if it's been a particularly busy
week with commitments in the evening. On those weekends, it's
essential that somewhere, somehow you make up for that lack
of sleep and relentless pace. Something's got to give, and
if you don't be proactive, boy, stay to feel it.
It catches up with you. The bags under the eyes,

(10:03):
the irritability, irritability with the kids, the feeling of being
overwhelmed with life in general. You see, normally, when people
ask me what time do you go to bed with
your early starts, I reply about nine, but that's actually
a lie. It's usually around nine point thirty if I'm lucky,
and that regularly slips to ten pm.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
But not this week, my friends.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
This week, I've been to bed twice at eight pm.
I've actually been getting the sleep required to function like
a regular human being. And what do you know, I'm
not finishing this week an anxious wreck. I'm actually pretty
well rested and excited for a great weekend now to
repeat that next week, which is very ironic considering Tony

(10:44):
isn't here today.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
I wonder one of the reasons she is finally getting
some sleep with the facts she's actually getting crooked about
the whole week. So yeah, that might be a that
might be a sign. We've also got some good news
to celebrate as well. We should give a take our
hats off to Lorna who picked up and a Water
at the On Radio Awards last night, picking up Best
Music Network Host. So congratulations to Lirey Lorna and she'll
be with the Feel Good five hundred after Coast Breakfast

(11:08):
this morning. I want to talk to you about my toilet.
What have you got stuck in your toilet, rosy anything?
I don't think I've ever had anything stuck in the toilet.
I have a plumbing bill coming and I want to
talk to you through it. So what we got was
a was a gurgling toilet, and then the toilet wouldn't flush,
And then we noticed that when we flushed the toilet,
the shower gurgled, and that's when we knew we had problems.
So we called it plumber, and the plumber took about

(11:30):
three days. Oh there's an added complication as well. The
washing machine. Now it doesn't drain out, so it fills
up the sink and the laundry, and then that overflows
and spells across the garage floor. So all of your
plumbing was pretty much gone. Downstairs, half of the house
is completely stuff. So we called the plumber. He came
three days later and he went fishing and pumping and
doing all the things to try and get this object

(11:50):
out of the toilet. Now, when you have three young
kids under five, you know when the toilet doesn't work,
something has been stuck down the toilet. And this is
the real mystery here because we don't know what it
is being expense. There could be a watch, and no
one's owning up to it. No one's owning up to
You ask them and they just they just go quiet.
So that's what we're battling. So yesterday we went to
stage two and we got the drain people. And so

(12:11):
the drain people different to the plu different to the plumber.
Now they come in a very specialized van with pumping
equipment and they even have this little machine that they
poke down the toilet and it's got like I guess,
some crescent head that spins to loosen up the debris.
That hasn't worked either. So we had a two hour
call out with him yesterday. Anything that they can't clear

(12:33):
the blockage, so what whatever? They can fill the blockage
with their little so it's there. It's there, but they
don't know what it is. So the next stage went
to stage three, Now and better and their advice is
now and this has happened today at eleven thirty cam Lindich.
My plumber is coming back to take the toilet off wall.

(12:53):
And that doesn't mean you can access whatever's in there either.
So the toilet comes off the wall. Then they stick
down a camera to idea to find where the blockage is.
Now we know where that pipe runs. It runs under
my lawn, so they're going to have to dig up
my No. But here's the worst. But I don't have
a lawn, I have AstroTurf, so you're.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
Gonna have to relay all the AstroTurf as well.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Afterwards we are digging up the astro turf. So two
questions here, how big is my plumbing bill going to be?
And on earth is blocking my drain? I hope it's
a gold bullion so that I can pay for the plumbers.
Who's your main suspect at the moment, I think it's
cose it I have quizzed her. She looked very, very guilty. Anyway,

(13:35):
I would love to know what's got stuck in your toilet.
I give us a tix on two six nine to nine.
I'll tell you what is blowing up though at the moment,
and that is Bridgeton. Isn't that a motive gets you excited,
doesn't it? What a wonderful series. In fact, our boss
when as far as society as television perfection and I
tend to agree. So we've decided to celebrate Bridgeton in

(13:56):
the latest series with the Bridgeton I t We're having
it at the Hilton in Auckland, and we wish we
could spread it much further afield, but it is a
cost of living crisis, so it is only an Auckland
event at this stage, but it might grow because Bridgeton
is doing definitely that it is growing. Everyone is behind it.
So with this high t we thought we'd come dressed
in theme, which meant that we had to go to

(14:17):
a costume shop yesterday with producer Rosie who's with me
this morning and choose our outfits. And of course Jason
was away. Tony wasn't at the stage, so he was
always going to be the victim this cruel reality because
we got to choose his outfit and we chose our
own as well, and we look magnificent, don't be rosy,
Absolutely wonderful, well on thing, thank you, thank you. Yes,

(14:38):
I'm going as Colin Bridgeton.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
Honestly in the outfit, I think you might have been
born for the eraror.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
I felt good in it. I had my cane in
my top hat and everything was first coach, the waistcoats,
it was the whole looking. As soon as you put
clothes on like that from the eighteen hundreds, you start
to walk differently, don't you. Tony Street was she's obviously
Penelope the star of the show, looking for her center,
and she felt like she was doing that yesterday at
some first thing costume shopp didn't it because as she

(15:07):
was trying on the different dresses there was a few incidents.
An incident. It's not easy to you know, to squeeze
yourself into a corset.

Speaker 4 (15:16):
Well, those dresses are quite supposed to be.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
Quite tight, yes, And I mean with Penelope, we know
that it is very much up on a shelf, isn't
it there. It's kind of the starring attraction of the show.
And there was a there was a flashing of a nipple,
wasn't there at one stage? And it's just a tiny,
just a little moment, you know, But that is that
is the problem with fashion, isn't it's sometimes it's it's

(15:40):
form over function, And we learned that yesterday.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
Well, you're coming down on Tony's incident with her fashion.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
What about your incident? What would it happen with mine?
Your pants?

Speaker 4 (15:49):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yes, I didn't know this. The funny lace up pants.
You actually need to lace them up at the back,
which is very inconvenient, and put them on backwards. I
put my pants on backwards. But what's greater than all
of this, greater than Penelope and Colin, is the role
that we have assigned to Jason, who was not there,
and he's coming as the Queen. And I tried on
that outfit yesterday and then all of a sudden I

(16:10):
became the brunt of the jokes. But I'll tell you what,
it's a beautiful outfit. Jason's going to be I think
he's going to love the mid drift on it the most.
The fact that it's just a little bit of jelly show.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
It will be a midriff on. I think it'll sit
a bit higher on her.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Oh, you do quite forgiving though, I never knew that
with this era the people of influence would wear the
big pillows along the side to push out their dress
to make it look like a beehive of some sort. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
gave you some very curvy hips. Got to have some
lovely gutes. Anyway, it's going to be a sight to behold.
If you want to be a part of that, Bridget
and Breakfast, what you need to do is just simply

(16:43):
text the word bridgeton to two six nine nine. We
would love you to come along.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Thanks for listening to the Feel Good Breakfast catch up
podcast with Coast Tony Street, Jace Reeves and Sam Wallas.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
The Chaste Fromongo up again to see him today. And
if I worn't, well, I'll be surprised. But if I do,
probably use the money. I'm maybe going out tonight, so
you know, I say a little bit of extra cash, beautiful, Pete,
what are the plans for tonight? Peter? There? Are you there? Pete?

(17:19):
I am yes, what are your plans for tonight?

Speaker 4 (17:22):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (17:23):
My mates just invited me to go out to the
local six club for the pool and whatever.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
You So, my wife's currently in Adelaide, So yeah, I mate,
you're on your own. You can go crazy tonight. Li said,
we can add seven hundred dollars spending money for you tonight.
I have no idea what the quiz is, Like Rosie
has written and she's going to be reading the questions.
So I'm going to leave, and I wish you all
the luck in the world. Maybe you can pass and
come back have help from Dickens over here.

Speaker 4 (17:49):
From one of the studios across the way.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Hello, everybody, So how are you feeling? Pete? Pretty nervous,
to be fair, pretty nervous.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
All right, well shall we should we crack into it?
So Pete, are you ready?

Speaker 2 (18:05):
I am? You are okay? Your time starts now. What
is Garfield's favorite food? Yes? What's the largest mammal.

Speaker 5 (18:17):
Blue whale?

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (18:19):
And what decade did Princess Diana.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
And I ninety? Yes?

Speaker 4 (18:23):
Who is living Coronation Street after fifty years? What's the
name of the world's largest cruise ship, um.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Legion? No, that's a three out of five today.

Speaker 4 (18:41):
That's pretty good going. That is pretty good going. I
would say that would have been about what I would
have got. We're gonna bring Sammy.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
Back into the studio.

Speaker 4 (18:48):
Now you're chasing a three today, Sam, Yeah, door is
left open for you.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Right. Was it a hard quiz Dickens?

Speaker 4 (18:57):
Yes, he's very smart.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Okay, Sam? Are you feeling ready? I'm just worried about Dickens,
to be honest.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
Okay, Sam, your time starts now. What is Garfield's favorite food?

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Lasagna? Yes? What's the largest mammal the whale? Yes? And
what decade did Princess Diana I? The nineties?

Speaker 5 (19:23):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (19:25):
And that is a jab there and sat there about.

Speaker 4 (19:33):
And he has been caught unfortunately, Pete.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Should we carry on? Should we carry on with quiz?

Speaker 5 (19:38):
Sam?

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah? Yet's see how I get on. Who is leaving
Coronation Street after fifty years? I wouldn't have a clue
who is it?

Speaker 4 (19:45):
It's Helen Worth or her character name was Gail Platte?

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Okay, tough question, tough question.

Speaker 4 (19:51):
And what's the name of the world's largest cruise ship?

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Wouldn't have it? Princess Icon of the Sea. The Sea,
it's quite a new one as well, I believe ye. Well,
three match good enough to defend the money eight hundred
dollars on Monday. It is darker at the moment with
a winter season and the lights. Leaving on the lights
is always a point of contention in most families. So

(20:19):
I remember my dad shouting at me when I was
a wee lad, turn off the lights. We don't own
a power station. But the game has changed, and I
found this very very interesting. Indeed, So what we have done,
Producer Rosie, is we've moved from incandescent lights. You know,
the old school ones, which were beautiful. One had a
lovely cast, a lovely light, especially if you're filming another one. Yeah,
and today is very different because we use aled lights,

(20:41):
which are really annoying if you're filming because if the
lights flicker, because that's an LED isn't constantly on. It's
flashing on and off the entire time. It just gives
the illusion that it's on. That it's really fast. Yeah,
that's how you that's how you save electricity because it's
not effectively on the whole time. But if you're shooting
at a high shutter of speed, you're doing slow motion
stuff in the house. All of a sudden, we've.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
Got the flat makes sense, I see.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Anyway, So someone's on a we investigation into how much
energy or how much we spend when we leave the
lights on, we leave the room, and the game has
definitely changed. So with an incandescent bulb, it would cost
a lot of money. That's why we were told to
turn them off all the time. But apparently leaving the
lights on in the lounge for twenty hours. Someone left

(21:25):
the lights on twenty hours for this, Well, just lift
it off. This is science. It costs three cents, that's all.
That's that's what it will cost you an electricity.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
This is brilliant new You know why I leave the
lights on in the house all the time?

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah, because you're a young person. That makes so frustrated
that were you going to be in the money?

Speaker 4 (21:47):
It doesn't cost that actually the lights on, And this
is my evidence.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yeah, I guess. I guess. To contrast, the scientific information
is the fact that if you leave a number of
rooms on for a number of times, three cents adds
up over time, and it will add to your power ball.
But I think just occasionally.

Speaker 4 (22:03):
Read rooms, that's only twelve cents, you know.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yeah, that's but twelve cents over the each day. There
all of a sudden, it's dollars, isn't it? And we
are penny pinching, But I guess the take home point
here is it's not as bad as you think. Once
again news you can use on the Feel Good Breakfast.
