Speaker 2 (00:06):
Tony Jason Sam's feel Good Breakfast Can't Shut podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Today on the show, we talked about the good, the
bad and the ugly of the Olympics. So it sounds
like a lot of athletes are being sent packing for
quite small thing.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Indeed, and the truth about Italy.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
I reflect on my time away and we talk about
the tomatoes not that great.
Speaker 5 (00:26):
Also, there's a woman who had a dad and then
another dad and then independent. Both of them weren't her dad.
But the third person who was her dad is going
to shock you. Some family secrets got revealed. He listen,
let me see you.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Cold.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Good morning, Thanks so much for joining us. That is
the thirtieth of July. Today it's Tuesday and still at
middles year at the Olympics. For today, I think today's today?
Speaker 6 (00:47):
Oh why why who's getting one day?
Speaker 5 (00:49):
Think? Either eric A fee Weather in the pool.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
She qualified seventh, so will be a big ass.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Yea, it will be yere, but she's got a little
bit to give, I think. But also the seven's women's
seventh team the quarterfinals at seven this morning seven, nice
and easy to remember.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I would love them to get a middle and it
would be so good. And we've actually done okay in
the mountain biking we got six.
Speaker 6 (01:07):
That's pretty good from Sam Gay.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Yeah. Also does Hayden Wild run today?
Speaker 6 (01:11):
I reckon that could be at six o'clock tonight. Yeah,
you've got bronze last time.
Speaker 7 (01:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
A lot of variables in a trioson could this be
the first Olympics we get pants?
Speaker 5 (01:21):
No, no way.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
Often we're late starters. It's okay.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
I think that the past will taking like a week
to get the middle. It happened.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I just paid and Wild doesn't want to breathe during
the swim because you don't want to be sucking in
that water?
Speaker 8 (01:34):
Do you?
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Are they swimming again?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I don't know where else do they go?
Speaker 9 (01:39):
I don't know how you sacrifice it for a meter,
wouldn't you a little bit.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
Of As long as it doesn't happen on the click.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Quick you get home, you'll be fine right on a
plane across.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
The finish line and just keep running to the loads.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
I'm speaking of the Olympics, though. One of the TV
commentators that the Olympics has been seen home for making
a sea exist remark about the Australian swimming team. What
he's saying, it was terrible and yeah this is see
if you agree with this in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Joke or sexist, that's the QUISTI, Sam, you would have
been sitting home a long time ago.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
A lot of people not loving what this guy has
said at the Olympics. So he's a eurosport commentator by
the name of Bob Ballard. He's been removed from the
broadcast as coverage of the Olympic Games after he made
a sexist remark regarding Australia's female swimmers.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I think Bob will be cursing the fact that he's
got you know, alliteration.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Is his name, Ballard. It's easy to remember.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Okay, yes, just refresh us on what mister Ballard said.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Okay, So after securing gold in the women's freestyle relay,
the Australian women's swimming team were getting out of the
pool and making their way out of the Paris Aquatic Center.
The way a little bit for him to come out
of there.
Speaker 9 (02:51):
You say, nice ass or something.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
No, no, no, no, he said, Sam, don't feed.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
He said, this is quite well. The women are just
finishing up, you know what women are like hanging around
doing their makeup?
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Were they actually doing their makeup?
Speaker 5 (03:08):
I don't know, maybe, but no, that's not the point.
He said it, and it was broadcast and currently say
that sort of stuff that the day and age, so
he booted out.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
I don't I don't know. I'm a female, so I'm
going to weigh it on this. I just I feel
like we've lost our sense of humor.
Speaker 7 (03:23):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Was he genuinely, as a commentator that had been commentating
for thirty six years, having a crack and being sexist?
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Or was it a throwaway.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Comment just like I might say about Sam right, and
it's not sex I might go, oh, Sam will be
faffing about I would say that enough.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
Heartbeat, and I probably would be, and he probably would be.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
And even if I would have said it as a joke,
and I just I don't get it. I know there's
been a massive uproar, and these probably women that are
going to tell me I'm anti female for not saying
this is a major thing.
Speaker 8 (03:55):
No.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Look, as the feminist of the show, I just want
to stress the fact that this is the first time
in Olympic history that there's an even mix of male
and female ethics. I think there's five and a half
thousand of each fifty percent. Yeah, yeah, and that's a
wonderful thing.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
So it doesn't mean that you can be sixss though,
But I just don't know if this is.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
This is the most empowering time of the Olympic Games
for females, and this guy's giving you know, jokes about
makeup and fair thing about and I won't have it
on the show.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
You I hope Sam well enough to know what he really.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Inspire and empower young women.
Speaker 9 (04:26):
And this guy's making makeup jokes. I won't have it.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
You are you won't have it.
Speaker 9 (04:30):
Quite funny though, wasn't it.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Well, what do you think I'd like to hear the
Tony seated in?
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Yes? Same, Well, the women are just finishing up, you
know what women are like, hanging around doing their makeup?
Those are his words.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Look, it's a wild generalization because I don't know in
this studio it wouldn't be me who'd be the fairart.
I'd be raging out the front.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
It's exactly right. So so honestly hearing that now may
be read about this in the news as well. Do
you think that's enough to be seen home from the Olympics.
What do you think seeing it? Text to two six
nine to nine Some big news out of the Olympics
at the moment is one of the guys. One of
the commentators, Bob Ballard, has been seeing home because of
a sexist comment as the Australian women swimming team were
coming out of the Paris Aquatic Center. He said these words, well,
(05:07):
the women just finishing up, you know what women are like,
hanging around doing their makeup. And then I was like, oh,
there's a sharp breath apparently, and he has been sacked
pretty much. Is that fair enough for us?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I just can't believe people lose their job over that,
Like he obviously intended it as a joke.
Speaker 9 (05:24):
Yeah, but I think there's a real form melody about
the Olympics. So isn't there?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
No, there's not, in fact, in fact that in recent
years I've been trying to make it more accessible.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Point.
Speaker 9 (05:33):
Snoop Dogg's in there.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Snoop Dogg, who is a known dope smoker, is the
pin up boy for the Olympics.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
So and I think Snoop Dogg's quite cool.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
But what I'm saying is if you're allowing someone like
him to be the pin up and then you're putting
someone out for this, it's just I don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
I think he was. I want to get your thoughts
on this, Tony, because one, you have been to the Olympics,
You've commented on the Olympics, you've front of the Olympics,
you brought us the coverage last time, and you are
a woman who's played a lot of sport.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I literally remember being at the two thousand and eight
Olympics and saying on are gosh all my makeout slipping
off my face?
Speaker 6 (06:09):
I literally talked about the.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Makeup because it was so sweaty, and US females were
batland calling to Bob Ballad, that's what your girls do.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
But he's been seeing.
Speaker 8 (06:17):
Home on this.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
He's probably right.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Is that another We're a couple of guys lining up
to have a chat about this. Good what's your thought?
Speaker 8 (06:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (06:24):
Well, you know, I'm sixty five this year, and you know,
I feel it's the generations today have got so soft
and so marshmallow like that everyone's treading on each shells
and it's just pathetic, it really is, you know. And
Australians at at the end of the day.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
I lived here for nearly thirty years.
Speaker 10 (06:43):
They love a good joke, and they have been laughing.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
At that, and that's what I'd like to know.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
We actually haven't heard from the four females at the
center of this. What did they actually think? Who got
offended on?
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Behalf of them?
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Apparently another commentator in the commentary boss, she was outraging.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
It's a thing.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Though there's ninety nine percent of people sitting there going
this is completely fine. It's just it's an off the
cuff comment, and there's one percent that is the squeaky
wheel that will get the oil.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I would feel so embarrassed if I was one of
the swimmers and took it as a joke and then
he got removed because I was supposedly offended.
Speaker 9 (07:17):
I don't think they care. I don't think they care.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
I think it's the least of their worries.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
What canceled culture is though. They literally don't care about
the repercussions on the person.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Helen, what are your thoughts as a woman? What do
you reackon?
Speaker 8 (07:27):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (07:27):
Definitely not sexist? No, just to throw away comment, I
don't even wear a makeup. Doesn't send the women always
halfing around in public toilets drives me nut. Yeah, it's
just the thing some people do. Some people do other
stuff that's annoying. No one died of ever being offended.
Speaker 9 (07:40):
That's a good point, it's really good.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
You know.
Speaker 10 (07:43):
Hello, come on people.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Yeah, some men wear make up these days, some women
wear it.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I wear a makeup and guess what it does take ages.
It used to take me an hour every time they
did my makeup for TV and Z.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
That's just the way it is.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Well, women finishing up.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
The reason why Mecca and Sephora are massive, multi millionaire
companies because makeup is popular.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
One more real quickly, Daryl, Hello, Hi there, what do
you reckon?
Speaker 7 (08:12):
Well?
Speaker 6 (08:12):
I think we just go to your farther with this
whole PC neess thing.
Speaker 8 (08:16):
Yeah, you know, we've got to be politically correct about everything.
Speaker 9 (08:20):
Scourge mate, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
And it gets to the point where you just can't
say what you think or you can't be yourself because
it might not be PC.
Speaker 9 (08:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
It cost us guys jobs here, right, But you can't
even joke. You can't even make a joke about anything.
I would be terrified to be a commentator at the
Olympics right now, you be so key for what you
were saying.
Speaker 9 (08:41):
Well, it's ended Bob Bellen's career, hasn't it.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
It's not his name.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
Offended by your lack of pronunciations. Morning, do we send
Sam home?
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Texturally comes into effect on the thirty first of July.
That's tomorrow. But more money in our account.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
Which is nice looking forward to that three dollars.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Some households are getting thirty dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I've found a better way to go about getting money.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Listen to this. This is the feel good story of
the week. I reckon a millionaire in dened And.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I don't know if you've seen this story seventy five
year old Roger futrel I think that's how we say it.
He is gifting twenty five million dollars of his personal
wealth to help people buy homes or to make improvements
on their home. So essentially, he wants to provide two
hundred and fifty first time buyers one hundred thousand dollars
cash each so they can get their deposit or upgrade
(09:35):
their house.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
What a ledge is a saints?
Speaker 9 (09:38):
Wait?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
So twenty five million dollars worth? And how much is
you're looking in one hundred K for every person one
hundred k. How many people is eking people? Two hundred
and fifty people? Fifty people?
Speaker 9 (09:48):
That's amazing.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
It's two hundred and fifty lives changed. Don't worry. I
know what you're thinking. You probably aren't thinking this, but
I thought about it. What about his kids? They are like, hey,
where's that erin?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
It's going He's all he sorted our kids out with
inheritance and he's still got enough for himself to live
off because he is basically caning life and he's been
a developer for a long time. So everyone's sorted. Everyone's happy.
This isn't dunce.
Speaker 9 (10:13):
What's the process in choosing people?
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I don't know, but can you imagine everyone's going to
come out of the woodwork and there is a system
where you have to prove how much you need because
he wants to give the grants between fifty and one
hundred K, so one hundred for the most needing fifty
Who just needs.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Such a good man New Island right there? Absolutely given
the title.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
It's so different from myself, you know, like if I
had turn fifty million dollars ad buy a.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yacht, can I just also say, this is not the
first time old Mate Rodge has done something like this.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
In January, he announced.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Plans to have sixty affordable homes across the city and
he sold them at one hundred thousand dollars below the
market value, just so people could get into homes. We
need more Rogers in this world.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yes, your daily feel good breakfast catch up podcast with
Coasts Tony, Jason, Sam.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Just have a twenty minutes away from the quarter final
for the women's sevens team. So if we were quarter final,
obviously we go through and we're into a middle life
thing after the Today I think is the day we went.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
To Meddle and we need a metal because we're still
searching for one.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Continues how I wonderful producer Rosies twenty two years old
and every Tuesday we get it to do a review
of something that we kind of grow up with, something
you would have watched in the past. Rosie Today, what
did you think of Beetlejuice?
Speaker 11 (11:29):
Well, as soon as the opening credits came on, I
thought it was going to be a lot scarier than
it was. That sounds scary, right, but then when they
actually start using that song within the movie and they're
dancing at a table.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
They're all possessed.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
Back.
Speaker 11 (11:55):
It's awesome, so funny, and they're trying to scare all
the people that live in.
Speaker 9 (11:59):
The house and they're not very good at scaring or something.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
They're terrible. Okay.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
One scene one of the offers of a smoke you
want to smoke, no thanks, and it's the monster offering
the dude to smoke.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
I'm just picturing Wenona Writer in the scene. She's really funny.
Speaker 11 (12:11):
But I think what also makes it quite funny is
this the graphics and everything that they use in this
How bad it is?
Speaker 6 (12:20):
What graphics do they use?
Speaker 11 (12:21):
I can't even remember when they die. Firstly, when they die,
they are so okay with being dead, Like I'm like,
why are you why are you not freaking out right now?
They're just like, oh, yeah, we must have died in
that crash.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
Well carry on exactly. And then and then when they die,
they go down into.
Speaker 11 (12:38):
This underworld thing that literally looks like the only way
I can describe it, so it looks like the green
screen room before they've put the edits onto it.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
No, probably was it's that bad.
Speaker 9 (12:51):
The budget probably ran out.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
They're still getting us to the green screen.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Well I do. I actually hardly remember it.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
And the reason the reason we've got Rosie to review
this is because Beetlejuice two was coming out, and if
you hadn't seen the original, you would have claimed that
the O g Beatle Juice.
Speaker 11 (13:05):
And I knew Ginna or Taker, who plays Wednesday and
the Adams family was going to be in it. And
as soon as I saw Lydia, the character from Beetlejuice,
I was like, that's the exact character that she must
she is the perfect person to be playing her.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Review, what do you give it?
Speaker 11 (13:23):
It was probably the weirdest, most bizarre movie I have
ever seen. Actual Beetlejuice is so weird and he's such
a creep.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Is scary and funny at the same time.
Speaker 11 (13:35):
Absolutely like he well again the scariness of it, I don't.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Know a creep. Was he somewhat charming or not really
not at all? Not at all, which was a little.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
I know, but I love that.
Speaker 11 (13:52):
So you'll watch Beetlejuice to the I can't wait for
it to come out.
Speaker 9 (13:58):
He'll be going back to isn't he?
Speaker 4 (14:01):
And I wanted to reflect on the trip because I've
only been home two days. In fact, I slept yesterday
from one pm till three o'clock am this morning.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
It was so you literally went from the gym straight
home to bed.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
And my poor wife ethuld have.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Told you should have cooked yourself on day one back.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
It wasn't the gym that got the I think it was.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
The calorie deficits.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
It's just the last month of just dragging children around
around Italy.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
So true, isn't it that you need a holiday from
your holiday?
Speaker 9 (14:27):
I did that yesterday. Yeah. I have a list though.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
It is what I learned about Italy and I want
to take you a few through a few things this morning.
So one of the big myths in Italy is that
they say everyone is like the tomatoes in Italy are
the best tomatoes in the world.
Speaker 9 (14:42):
So I went in with that expectation. The tomatoes are
exactly the same.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
I tried every tomato waiting for the magical tomato, and
all the tomatoes are exactly the same as our tomatoes.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Do you think though, that the difference is like if
you try and get tomatoes now, they're pretty average.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
They're only good out of season.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, yeah, But what I'm saying is did they have
good out of season tomatoes.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
I don't know that because it's tomato. Is the summer fruit,
isn't it, And they're in summer.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
So yeah, yeah, anyway, you need to go back at winter.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I was blown away by the history, but I wasn't
really blown away by the fruit. Pasta is pasta and
pizza is pizza. It doesn't matter where in the word
you eat it.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Yeah, okay, yeah, actually.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I know it's sacrilege to say that, but part of
me thought the same. I said, Oh, the pizzas are
so amazing, and.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
I was like, kinda just like the pizza hut what
I had, I kind of thought, so bad.
Speaker 9 (15:34):
The sun is better, though, I was, the sun is amazing.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Like we put a little of sunscreen on our face
when we first got there, and on our shoulders, and
then after about a week we weren't using any of it.
The atmosphere is completely stuffed. And there was never a
better example than you just went brown and.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
You just get that nice kind of constant tan. You
are blistered.
Speaker 9 (15:55):
Italian coffee is next level.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
The reason we put milk in our coffee is because
we haven't nailed coffee controversial, I know, but their coffee
there's straight shots.
Speaker 9 (16:04):
They are Italiano's. It's just absolutely gorgeous.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
I've not been able to go to the dark side,
but everyone tells me ditch the milk concussion.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
It can't happen. Sorry.
Speaker 9 (16:13):
Plastic bottles are different.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Have you seen the plastic bottles are there, so the
lids are attached to the bottle.
Speaker 9 (16:19):
You can't get the lid off the bottle.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
And I think it's something to do with the way
they recycles, so the lid stays with the bottle.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
It takes sense, doesn't it.
Speaker 9 (16:25):
It does, but every.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Time you drink it, you've got like a cap.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
The pasta will still make you fat.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
It will like they you know, they don't process the
wheat in the same way, and you get fat from
the pant I don't.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
Think I was gonna get skinny from eating Italian past.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
The reason you don't get fat when you're on Italian
holiday is because you have to walk everywhere.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I'm pretty sure I came back quite fat the last
time I went.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
I got my scales working, so came home and the
batteries are flat, and then I got them going.
Speaker 9 (16:54):
You set it's not great. It's like it's like six
kg's in a month.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Really yeah, but you coming from a very low bar.
You were basically starving when you leave.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
The fear of pick pocketing. You hear this stone, Yet
you trail in Europe, I don't know. We travel in
a group. There wasn't at no point anyone trying to
pick my pocket at any point. And you if they
can find my wallet in my bag and ten secrets
as they will past me, well done, because it takes
me about forty five minutes to the bottoment and find it.
And finally, cars don't stop at pedestrian crossings. Pedestrian crossings
(17:26):
in Italy a a gesture. It's like people might be
crossing the road here, but this is my.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
Right of way.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
You know, you you look at what heavens here in
New Zealand, dear a card stock.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
You look, it's the opposite there. That's what I learned
about it from home. In the SEVENS Women's quarter final,
right now, New Zealand have a China twenty four to
five to New Zealand. At the moment, we're just started
the second half.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
And we're on the attack and we've got six minutes.
Scouts looking pretty secure, isn't it. I mean you don't
like to peak.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Too ear least anything can happen. But yeah, so far, so.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Good, and that's even with Sarah hid Anee. She went
off for a bit toot, sit off for two minutes.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
We scored a trial within seventeen seconds. But anyway, twenty
four to five at the stage.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
Oh looking good.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Hey, we need to talk about this drama, this family
tree drama.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
So I read this article. It's an Australian story.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
And a woman was raised by who she thought was
her dad until age seven, right, and then he died
and it was really really sad, and she was looking
through some stuff in her mum's drawer and discovered some
notes that indicated he actually was and her father. So
she went and hit her mom up, and her mum
was crying and said, I didn't know how to tell you,
(18:37):
particularly since he died. I was waiting to were a
bit older. So essentially what had happened was he was
the love of her life. They couldn't get pregnant, so
she went and used a sperm donor. Okay, so the
sperm donor documentation was what the daughter found and she said, oh,
so my father's actually let's say John Smith she said, yes,
but you're allowed to track him down.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
But do you want him? She said, ye, I actually do.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I actually do want to track him down, just so
I can you know, eyeball, my biological father. So she
went through the process found this sperm donor.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
As luck would have it, he was a lovely man
and he was really welcoming.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
He'd gone on to have three children of his own,
so he started meeting her for coffee. They actually struck
up a really good relationship and eventually he introduced her
to her half siblings. And the wife didn't know either
that he was a sperm donor, so that was quite
a big thing for their family to be like, oh,
I've got this half child. You know he didn't know about.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
So all good.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
So another seven or eight years past and she, you know,
had a relationship with her biological father, so a bit
of a win win, you know, she had a lovely
father till seven but then she got the second relationship
until she then discovered, right they had that there was
a she had her own.
Speaker 9 (19:49):
Child, right, Oh, I'm looking forward to this, but.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
I know it just keeps going.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
She had her own child who had a rare abnormality,
and they had to get some DNA testing, and that
included finding out what the grandparents DNA was. Turns out
he isn't actually her father. So for ten years she'd
bonded with this man she thought was the sperm donor
to the mother and it wasn't actually him. And at
this point you're going, well, if it's not him, who
(20:14):
the hell is it and how did this go wrong?
So they went back to the sperm clinic and said,
what has happened. What has happened is there's been a
rogue owners distributor of the sperm and he has been
intiminating all of the people that go to his clinic himself.
So yep, so he is now the father to dozens
(20:36):
of children and has been putting down fake sperm donors.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
So now she's at the point where this.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Creepo is actually her father and she is going to
the courts to try and fight this guy because everyone
he's just run for cover and everyone's saying, no, he's
a pillar of the community.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
It's like art, No, he did something so unjust.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
How many families has he ruined?
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Exactly?
Speaker 9 (20:58):
Well, how many families is created? Let's look on the positive.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
No, no, no, but this porman like not not your dad? No, okay,
so then it's the no still your dad three dads in.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Yes, So she said she feels like she keeps losing
dads and she's ended up with the worst one, as
you can imagine, like that's.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
How she feels.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
But it did I sort of beg the question, have
you uncovered something about your family? Was your half sibling?
Did you not know your mother was your mother or
your father was your father? Or you know, when did
you get told about this?
Speaker 6 (21:25):
How did you uncover it?
Speaker 5 (21:26):
We'd love to know your family bombshells, no names, you
don't want to is tell us the story? Oh eight
hundred double O four coast or fause it takes to
two six nine.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Nine family tree bombshells. We're talking this morning after a
woman in Australia thought one man was her dad, he died,
She found out it was actually a sperm donor. She
went and met him, then found out it wasn't the
sperm donor, It was the sperm donor owner that had
inseminated himself and just here.
Speaker 9 (21:50):
Own the clinic and was just impregnating everyone with a sperm.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
It's shocking, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
But it is actually more common than you think, these
types of revelations.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Ian, what was the revelation and your family.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Oh, Bonnie, I was trying to find out when my
mother and father got married, because it was coming up
to the twenty fifth wedding anniversary, and there was very
vague about it. We've never told me or my sister
when it was. Anyway, we've punished to found the marriage certificate,
and in doing so we found out that my dad
(22:24):
had been married before. So the story was as I
found out in the end that in the war where
he was over fighting the Germans, his wife was fighting
some other different battles. And on the book, you know,
we did a bit more dig in and I found
(22:48):
out that I had a brother because but it was
my oldest brothers play. I found out that they were
married after he was born, which was strange. And then
I found out that my dad had been married before
and he had another brother. Did a bit of tracing
and found out it's called Neil. Managed to found out
that he went over to Canada with my dad's first wife,
(23:12):
and but we decided, me and my sister, we keep
it a bit quiet. And then my dad came up
to New Zealand to visitors, and I got a bit
this one night when I asked him, Yeah, yeah, he did.
He was quite upset about it.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
It was.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
It was quite a big thing during the in the
in the in the war days, you know, like the
parties and fifties, sixties.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Yeah, to tell you as well.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
Yeah, how's how's Neil?
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Well, I don't know. I never went any further than that.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
About the different bullets he was firing at the war.
I get it. That's whore cky hell, I want him
with you.
Speaker 8 (23:49):
I didn't like DNA on one of those DNA websites anyway,
I am I. You know, you get these cousins. Things
come through and you kind of don't pay much attention,
and you sort of see that you have DNA in
common with someone, and I kind of saw that I
had a lot more DNA in common with this one guy,
(24:09):
and we sort of did the did the figures, and
basically he was either going to be like a great
uncle or a grandfather, and he definitely wasn't an uncle.
And it turns out he was a half brother to
my dad, which means that my grandfather wasn't my grandfather.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Oh wow, you were you were you did you feel agreed?
Were you were you that grumpy that people lied to you?
Or were you okay with it?
Speaker 7 (24:36):
Well?
Speaker 8 (24:36):
Noting sort of lied. I mean, we immigrated to New
Zealand a long time ago, and I didn't really know
my grandparents on my dad's side as well as I
could have as I as brought out over here, which
is one of the reasons why I didn't mind texting him,
because it's not going to upset anybody in me telling
you anyway. But basically, yeah, I my dad was always
(25:02):
treated different to her siblings, and he always suspected that
there was some sort of difference between them, and he
is very different looking, but he does look a lot
like his mum, so they kind of, you know, it
didn't really say very much, but yeah, So it turns
out my grandmother had a bit of a footing.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Honestly, We've got so many Texas similar veins. I found
out just over twelve months ago, at the age of
fifty six, that who I thought was my biological father
was not. He finally told me after a number of circumstances,
which to me was actually a relief because it answered
a whole lot of questions for me about my life.
That's a bombshell. Not when your father or your mother
is not actually your parents.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Well remember when I did that Detective show where they
traced my ancestry. Half of the contestants had to pull
out because there were things in their family stories that
would potentially ruin their families.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
This is so common.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I've got people very close to me that found out
that they had half siblings they didn't know about, grew
up thinking they were siblings, and then oh different father.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
What It's more common than you think.
Speaker 9 (26:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
More from Tony Street Try We need to talk Tony's
health and lifestyle podcast. Now back to Coasts, Feel Good
Breakfast catch Up with Tony Jason Sam.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
We need to talk about the Olympics, the good, the bad,
and the ugly, and that's what we're doing every day.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
I've actually got a couple of good things today. Well,
there's been many good things, but.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
This is well, I kind of am because he's been
so much controversy and so much drama and wokeness so
far at the Games. And we did talk about your
commentator earlier this show, Jay so got sent packing. I'm
not bringing him into this because I didn't know which
category he fitted into quite honestly, all three probably.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
So for the good speedo man, Bob the cap Catcher.
If you haven't heard this story, this is the greatest
story I think to come out of the Olympics so far.
Not all heroes wear capes, That's what they're saying about
this guy. So he was tasked with going into the
pool because someone's cap had fallen off and were in
the way of the footage and they didn't wanted to
interfere with any of the lanes. So nick minute, this
(27:05):
guy comes out, Bob the cat Catcher in floral speedos
and jumps into the.
Speaker 6 (27:11):
Pool to get the cat. He had them all, whipped
them off.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
You know, there was there was no just like standard spiedos,
they were floral.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
He had his moments, his.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Charms embrace the moment, didn't he And there was never
a truer moment of comparing a dead versus an athlete.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Was there?
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Here was anything wrong with his body?
Speaker 9 (27:34):
Wasn't that he was not?
Speaker 6 (27:37):
I just think he looked like Sam post Europe.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Before I had my travel fatness.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
So clearly Sam stopped saying that you've got body of
Swarfia the other good thing I liked, and it was
a good thing that kind of came out of a
poor performance. Clark Johnston, who was one of our equestrians,
had this summary of he performed.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
And he actually apologized to his horse. Unfortunately today I've
let him down and I've had a beence down in
each round, which were my mistakes, especially in the individual round.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
I should have been better.
Speaker 7 (28:12):
So I'm disappointed in myself.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
So in the UK you've got literally their top of
questrian whipping their horse of being sent home. We're literally
apologizing to our.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
So nice.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I did think that was good from Clark, though, you
know it was quite often people get really defensive when
they underperformed, but he kind of just said it how
it was and then you respected him for it.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
The horse, I'm heard the bad Did you see this?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
So for Rory around that scene in the opening ceremony,
you know when there was a whole lot of dragged
queen's transgender all sitting up along a big long table.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
Did you see there.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Was also a singer who was made up as a
Greek god of wine. And now the Olympic Midity Committee
have had to come out because apparently it was unintended
parody of the biblical scene.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
And I'm like, nintended?
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Was it set up the Last Supper with drag queens,
didn't they? And you can see how that could stir
a few people up.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
Absolutely, but I think if they wanted to do that,
that's not unintended anyway.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
Anyway, that's the line they're going.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
And the last one, the ugly for the Olympics for
the last day is the debate from the USA track team.
So we're talking about the running out for Okay, Now,
this is on the same night that I saw Zoe
Hobbs displaying ours and in risque fashion, we've got a
couple of cutouts in her running uniform, you know, really
(29:43):
cut ups on the side. I don't know if that's
just because it's in at the moment or whether it's aerodynamics,
but everyone will not everyone, the woke community and the
US have said it's unfair that that's what the women
are racing in in the States and that the men
have got bike shorts.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
Well, that's ridiculous, isn't that what they do? Every single
reason you.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Wear box ships as a man is because of the
anatomy bollocks, like it's you have to contain that.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
It's literally the difference.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
I mean, to be fair, I could get away with that.
Have I had the choice to run in togs and
bike shorts, I know what I'd pick. What would you
pack the bike shorts?
Speaker 5 (30:23):
That's a good man. The only thing, very much, Tony,
the Chasers on Coast is your chance to be Olympic champion.
Right now at list the chases champion? Call us right now,
I W eight hundred double O four Coast. That's quickly
roll the dice. Who's playing today?
Speaker 1 (30:34):
You've been hammered lately, European boy.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
Play all right? Cool now I W eight hundred double
O four Coast. Take on Tony Street. You can win
five hundred bucks cash the Chasers on Coast.
Speaker 7 (30:52):
I'm from workman and the fight when the money probably
take them out for lunch, beautiful.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
Watch your wife's name, Sam? Sorry, what's your wife's name?
The questions get harder. I'll be honest.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
Today I'm nervous.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I mean, we can't have too many questions on the Olympics,
because we couldn't have a question saying who's won a
middle yet?
Speaker 7 (31:21):
Right?
Speaker 9 (31:21):
True?
Speaker 5 (31:22):
True?
Speaker 6 (31:23):
What else could it be?
Speaker 5 (31:24):
Who knows? This is an interesting one.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
I reckon Tony could really trip on the first easy ones,
trippy ones.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
I don't want to ruin things. But we had a
practice outside. I tripped on the first one.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
Did you triple it?
Speaker 9 (31:35):
Not me?
Speaker 5 (31:36):
Did you not?
Speaker 6 (31:37):
He hit a holiday for a month, so all right?
Speaker 5 (31:40):
So Sam versus Sam? Why she does Tony versus Sam?
Sam's gonna read the questions to Sam so Eric will
feel we're about to start in the pool.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Say that Sam versus Sam, though, because quite often I
can't beat your worst opponent.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
Now just to the Olympics updates that Erica feel it
is about to race. This is I believe her. This
is the finals. So we'll find out she wins the
middle with this, we'll find out a few wins. Caresh
with us through Sam. Thirty seconds on the clock, five
pushes to get through. You can't pass. If we have time,
will come back to those ones. Doesn't matter what you get, though,
because if Tony can't match your score, you willin that
money to take Nadia up for dinner. Are you ready?
Speaker 7 (32:10):
Yep?
Speaker 5 (32:11):
All right, Sam, Your time starts now.

Speaker 5 (32:39):
No, it's not bad though. First three straight out of
the gates.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Absolutely, I reckon, you're in with the snuff.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Yeah, Tony never pays attention, she says at the door
and has her back turned to us. Oh here she
is in good time, Stridi, you are chasing a respectable three.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
I was just actually out there with some of the
coat staff toting why none of our swimmers are reaching
PBS And apparently there's an article on it that lots
of swimmers aren't because of the conditions in the village.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Hard beds and a cardboard beds.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Here though, someone nearly got a world record yesterday, so
it kind of just spells.
Speaker 5 (33:13):
That aready thirty seconds on the lot to try and
chase down Sam's three out of five, try and keep
the five hundred dollars safe.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
I don't feel great today about this.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
Your time starts now, sure or false?
Speaker 3 (33:24):

Speaker 6 (34:00):
Take you fourth War music.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Congratulations. So we played for six hundred dollars. Tomorrow SAMs
back from so journe around Europe.
Speaker 9 (34:08):
And I don't want to be the guy that's always
talking about the toilets. But here we go again.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
I need to again, toilet reporter.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
Well, that's because when I was overseas, I discovered that
the best invention in the entire world is a paid toilet. Now,
let me explain why a public toilet is a nasty thing.
Speaker 9 (34:24):
Every time they disappoint, don't they?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
They're not all created terribly. I can think right now.
The takapoona norseal maul, isn't bad.
Speaker 6 (34:34):
Yeah, toilet, Yeah.
Speaker 9 (34:36):
Low traffic volumes.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
As soon as you get high traffic volumes, you get
problems though, don't you. And that was the thing over
in Europe there was high traffic, volumes, and you go
into some public toilet, you'd be like, oh my gosh.
And then you've got three young people that need to
go for a p and they've got their hands on everything,
and it's the most discussing thing in the entire world.
Speaker 6 (34:52):
What's that about? Why why does high traffic lead to
grossy people?
Speaker 5 (34:58):
No, No, it's just people might owned a bar and
he said the women's toilets was every every single day,
far worse than the men's toilets, so bad I couldn't
believe it.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Yeah, but then we came across paid toilets and they
cost you a euro over overseas?
Speaker 6 (35:12):
Is that like two dollars in New Zealand?
Speaker 4 (35:14):
And every time I came to him, I was like, God,
bless everyone had to pay toilet.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
Everyone go to the toilet.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Because it's clean. They have someone that's stationed there to
keep the public toilets clean. And I think it's the
most incredible thing.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
So do you pay per cubicle or do you pay
per person? So you were paying quite a lot to
get your family.
Speaker 9 (35:32):
Five nine times out of ten they gave us the
kids for free though in.
Speaker 6 (35:35):
Bucks ten New Zealand parts.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
That's an expensive we normally costs you about four bucks.
Speaker 9 (35:40):
Because there's been me and Sarah.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
Because remember Tope' had that superlu for a while. He
had to pay for that, ye was that one that
was like fifty cents or something.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
I'm with you, Sam, I feel like, particularly at certain
times where you just want the cleanliness and I would
pay all do you know?
Speaker 4 (35:57):
There was one example though, where I didn't have to
pay for a toilet.
Speaker 9 (36:00):
It was a bizarre and Istanbul.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
It's a bizarre like a market, a market. He said
she had gold market. It's famous for people selling cheap jewelry,
cheap gold and everything like that. We went into the
toys all the kids need to go and it was
a crime scene.
Speaker 9 (36:13):
It was the worst thing.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
There was a man that looked like Lurch and he
had buckets of Corey and water and he was just
splashing the whole cubicle.
Speaker 9 (36:21):
And I walked down there and it was all dark.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
I think he was walked and he walked up to
me and he put his arm around me and saw don't.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Touch me, and he just carefully walked me out of
the bathroom and he unlocked another door and it was
this little, secret, clean bathroom for all our kids. He
was the nicest man, you know. He was a lovely lurch,
ignored the.
Speaker 5 (36:44):
Evidence around him.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
It was a reason he got you out of there.
He didn't want you.
Speaker 5 (36:49):
To report it. Such a good day today, you know today,
and this has been declared by the UN International Day
of Friendship, So today's day. It's been a nice missaity friend.
Although were gonna hang it, but it's a bit of
a time together to do.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Actually, speaking of which maybe it's one on one time
with that friend, because we need to talk about it.
I want you to tell me right now, have a think.
How much one on one time do you spend with anyone?
Speaker 5 (37:12):
Right?
Speaker 6 (37:12):
Any person?
Speaker 9 (37:13):
Almost pitching for it when Jason's always hanging around.
Speaker 6 (37:21):
I'll give you an example of my life, Okay.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
I spend quite a lot of one on one time
with my husband, mainly during the day when he's working
from home and I get home from here around lunchtimeish.
We get a few precious hours, normally talking about Edmund
before we do the school pick up. But then when
it comes to other people, usually if I meet with
my mates. It's in a group because we all try
and you know, kill two beds with one stuf.
Speaker 9 (37:45):
Absolutely with all your friends at once.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
It's not very often, or it's like the netball mums,
or it's my mum and dad.
Speaker 6 (37:52):
It's not just one on one time. And I just.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Don't think we do enough of it, because there's nothing
like the undivided attention of one person, is there?
Speaker 6 (38:01):
Right? And I experienced this and made.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
A deliberate effort to do so, kind of by chance
in the school holidays, so my daughter went to the
Gold Coast with another family who has an only child.
They asked if she could go with them and a
company for a company because they were going on with
the thing parks.
Speaker 9 (38:17):
Because it makes parenting so much easier when there's another kids.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Oh yeah, and just between you and me, I don't
think the mum really wanted to go on all the
big roller.
Speaker 6 (38:25):
Coasters, so she wanted to have a vessel love it Nikola.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Anyway, that happened, and then I decided, because I was
actually already in Sydney with a couple of friends, that
I would fly to the Gold Coast and meet them.
So I got one on one time with my eleven
year old daughter, and I suddenly realized, I don't think
we've had much one on one time since she was
born because I've been dealing with three children, and usually
we do things as a family because it's easier. Even
(38:51):
if we split up, there's usually two kids at least
with me at any one time. So I got back
from that trip and I found it was so valuable
that I've decided now at intermediate, I'm going to do
something similar that probably might not be overseas, but spend
some quality time with each of the children individually. And
I did it with my son and the single week
school holidays we went mini patting and go karting. Completely
(39:14):
different vibe, particularly I think for the youngest child who
has often got his sister's annoying them and he's getting
dragged to all of these gus.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
Don't you feel like that they come alive.
Speaker 6 (39:23):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (39:24):
There's a whole different element to the maid and.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
You're really listening to what they say because there's no
one else distracting you. There's not even your husband to
distract you. And that's what I mean too, because when
there's three, it's a different dynamic again totally.
Speaker 5 (39:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
I mean I see my kids fighting for time to speak,
you know, just to be heard.
Speaker 9 (39:40):
You know, it's my turn, it's my ten.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
But do you know what, that's a good skill in itself,
because that's life.
Speaker 6 (39:45):
So that's that.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
I still think that's valuable, and that's a skill that
if you're an only child you need to learn too.
But I do think you get something quite different from
one on one time. So maybe today, on the day
of friendship, take out one of your friends for a
coffee or a quick chat and just see how that rolls.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Yeah, they'll just turn into drinking beer though, and we'll
be six and to call it.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Today on the show, we talked about the good, the
bad and the ugly of the Olympics. So it sounds
like a lot of athletes are being sent packing for
quite small thing.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Indeed, and the truth about Italy.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
I reflect on my time away and we talk about
the tomatoes not that great.
Speaker 5 (00:26):
Also, there's a woman who had a dad and then
another dad and then independent. Both of them weren't her dad.
But the third person who was her dad is going
to shock you. Some family secrets got revealed. He listen,
let me see you.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Cold.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Good morning, Thanks so much for joining us. That is
the thirtieth of July. Today it's Tuesday and still at
middles year at the Olympics. For today, I think today's today?
Speaker 6 (00:47):
Oh why why who's getting one day?
Speaker 5 (00:49):
Think? Either eric A fee Weather in the pool.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
She qualified seventh, so will be a big ass.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Yea, it will be yere, but she's got a little
bit to give, I think. But also the seven's women's
seventh team the quarterfinals at seven this morning seven, nice
and easy to remember.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I would love them to get a middle and it
would be so good. And we've actually done okay in
the mountain biking we got six.
Speaker 6 (01:07):
That's pretty good from Sam Gay.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Yeah. Also does Hayden Wild run today?
Speaker 6 (01:11):
I reckon that could be at six o'clock tonight. Yeah,
you've got bronze last time.
Speaker 7 (01:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
A lot of variables in a trioson could this be
the first Olympics we get pants?
Speaker 5 (01:21):
No, no way.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
Often we're late starters. It's okay.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
I think that the past will taking like a week
to get the middle. It happened.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I just paid and Wild doesn't want to breathe during
the swim because you don't want to be sucking in
that water?
Speaker 8 (01:34):
Do you?
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Are they swimming again?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I don't know where else do they go?
Speaker 9 (01:39):
I don't know how you sacrifice it for a meter,
wouldn't you a little bit.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
Of As long as it doesn't happen on the click.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Quick you get home, you'll be fine right on a
plane across.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
The finish line and just keep running to the loads.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
I'm speaking of the Olympics, though. One of the TV
commentators that the Olympics has been seen home for making
a sea exist remark about the Australian swimming team. What
he's saying, it was terrible and yeah this is see
if you agree with this in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Joke or sexist, that's the QUISTI, Sam, you would have
been sitting home a long time ago.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
A lot of people not loving what this guy has
said at the Olympics. So he's a eurosport commentator by
the name of Bob Ballard. He's been removed from the
broadcast as coverage of the Olympic Games after he made
a sexist remark regarding Australia's female swimmers.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I think Bob will be cursing the fact that he's
got you know, alliteration.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Is his name, Ballard. It's easy to remember.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Okay, yes, just refresh us on what mister Ballard said.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Okay, So after securing gold in the women's freestyle relay,
the Australian women's swimming team were getting out of the
pool and making their way out of the Paris Aquatic Center.
The way a little bit for him to come out
of there.
Speaker 9 (02:51):
You say, nice ass or something.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
No, no, no, no, he said, Sam, don't feed.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
He said, this is quite well. The women are just
finishing up, you know what women are like hanging around
doing their makeup?
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Were they actually doing their makeup?
Speaker 5 (03:08):
I don't know, maybe, but no, that's not the point.
He said it, and it was broadcast and currently say
that sort of stuff that the day and age, so
he booted out.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
I don't I don't know. I'm a female, so I'm
going to weigh it on this. I just I feel
like we've lost our sense of humor.
Speaker 7 (03:23):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Was he genuinely, as a commentator that had been commentating
for thirty six years, having a crack and being sexist?
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Or was it a throwaway.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Comment just like I might say about Sam right, and
it's not sex I might go, oh, Sam will be
faffing about I would say that enough.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
Heartbeat, and I probably would be, and he probably would be.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
And even if I would have said it as a joke,
and I just I don't get it. I know there's
been a massive uproar, and these probably women that are
going to tell me I'm anti female for not saying
this is a major thing.
Speaker 8 (03:55):
No.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Look, as the feminist of the show, I just want
to stress the fact that this is the first time
in Olympic history that there's an even mix of male
and female ethics. I think there's five and a half
thousand of each fifty percent. Yeah, yeah, and that's a
wonderful thing.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
So it doesn't mean that you can be sixss though,
But I just don't know if this is.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
This is the most empowering time of the Olympic Games
for females, and this guy's giving you know, jokes about
makeup and fair thing about and I won't have it
on the show.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
You I hope Sam well enough to know what he really.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Inspire and empower young women.
Speaker 9 (04:26):
And this guy's making makeup jokes. I won't have it.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
You are you won't have it.
Speaker 9 (04:30):
Quite funny though, wasn't it.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Well, what do you think I'd like to hear the
Tony seated in?
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Yes? Same, Well, the women are just finishing up, you
know what women are like, hanging around doing their makeup?
Those are his words.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Look, it's a wild generalization because I don't know in
this studio it wouldn't be me who'd be the fairart.
I'd be raging out the front.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
It's exactly right. So so honestly hearing that now may
be read about this in the news as well. Do
you think that's enough to be seen home from the Olympics.
What do you think seeing it? Text to two six
nine to nine Some big news out of the Olympics
at the moment is one of the guys. One of
the commentators, Bob Ballard, has been seeing home because of
a sexist comment as the Australian women swimming team were
coming out of the Paris Aquatic Center. He said these words, well,
(05:07):
the women just finishing up, you know what women are like,
hanging around doing their makeup. And then I was like, oh,
there's a sharp breath apparently, and he has been sacked
pretty much. Is that fair enough for us?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I just can't believe people lose their job over that,
Like he obviously intended it as a joke.
Speaker 9 (05:24):
Yeah, but I think there's a real form melody about
the Olympics. So isn't there?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
No, there's not, in fact, in fact that in recent
years I've been trying to make it more accessible.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Point.
Speaker 9 (05:33):
Snoop Dogg's in there.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Snoop Dogg, who is a known dope smoker, is the
pin up boy for the Olympics.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
So and I think Snoop Dogg's quite cool.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
But what I'm saying is if you're allowing someone like
him to be the pin up and then you're putting
someone out for this, it's just I don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
I think he was. I want to get your thoughts
on this, Tony, because one, you have been to the Olympics,
You've commented on the Olympics, you've front of the Olympics,
you brought us the coverage last time, and you are
a woman who's played a lot of sport.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I literally remember being at the two thousand and eight
Olympics and saying on are gosh all my makeout slipping
off my face?
Speaker 6 (06:09):
I literally talked about the.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Makeup because it was so sweaty, and US females were
batland calling to Bob Ballad, that's what your girls do.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
But he's been seeing.
Speaker 8 (06:17):
Home on this.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
He's probably right.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Is that another We're a couple of guys lining up
to have a chat about this. Good what's your thought?
Speaker 8 (06:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (06:24):
Well, you know, I'm sixty five this year, and you know,
I feel it's the generations today have got so soft
and so marshmallow like that everyone's treading on each shells
and it's just pathetic, it really is, you know. And
Australians at at the end of the day.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
I lived here for nearly thirty years.
Speaker 10 (06:43):
They love a good joke, and they have been laughing.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
At that, and that's what I'd like to know.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
We actually haven't heard from the four females at the
center of this. What did they actually think? Who got
offended on?
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Behalf of them?
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Apparently another commentator in the commentary boss, she was outraging.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
It's a thing.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Though there's ninety nine percent of people sitting there going
this is completely fine. It's just it's an off the
cuff comment, and there's one percent that is the squeaky
wheel that will get the oil.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I would feel so embarrassed if I was one of
the swimmers and took it as a joke and then
he got removed because I was supposedly offended.
Speaker 9 (07:17):
I don't think they care. I don't think they care.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
I think it's the least of their worries.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
What canceled culture is though. They literally don't care about
the repercussions on the person.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Helen, what are your thoughts as a woman? What do
you reackon?
Speaker 8 (07:27):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (07:27):
Definitely not sexist? No, just to throw away comment, I
don't even wear a makeup. Doesn't send the women always
halfing around in public toilets drives me nut. Yeah, it's
just the thing some people do. Some people do other
stuff that's annoying. No one died of ever being offended.
Speaker 9 (07:40):
That's a good point, it's really good.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
You know.
Speaker 10 (07:43):
Hello, come on people.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Yeah, some men wear make up these days, some women
wear it.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I wear a makeup and guess what it does take ages.
It used to take me an hour every time they
did my makeup for TV and Z.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
That's just the way it is.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Well, women finishing up.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
The reason why Mecca and Sephora are massive, multi millionaire
companies because makeup is popular.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
One more real quickly, Daryl, Hello, Hi there, what do
you reckon?
Speaker 7 (08:12):
Well?
Speaker 6 (08:12):
I think we just go to your farther with this
whole PC neess thing.
Speaker 8 (08:16):
Yeah, you know, we've got to be politically correct about everything.
Speaker 9 (08:20):
Scourge mate, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
And it gets to the point where you just can't
say what you think or you can't be yourself because
it might not be PC.
Speaker 9 (08:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
It cost us guys jobs here, right, But you can't
even joke. You can't even make a joke about anything.
I would be terrified to be a commentator at the
Olympics right now, you be so key for what you
were saying.
Speaker 9 (08:41):
Well, it's ended Bob Bellen's career, hasn't it.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
It's not his name.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
Offended by your lack of pronunciations. Morning, do we send
Sam home?
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Texturally comes into effect on the thirty first of July.
That's tomorrow. But more money in our account.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
Which is nice looking forward to that three dollars.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Some households are getting thirty dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I've found a better way to go about getting money.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Listen to this. This is the feel good story of
the week. I reckon a millionaire in dened And.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I don't know if you've seen this story seventy five
year old Roger futrel I think that's how we say it.
He is gifting twenty five million dollars of his personal
wealth to help people buy homes or to make improvements
on their home. So essentially, he wants to provide two
hundred and fifty first time buyers one hundred thousand dollars
cash each so they can get their deposit or upgrade
(09:35):
their house.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
What a ledge is a saints?
Speaker 9 (09:38):
Wait?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
So twenty five million dollars worth? And how much is
you're looking in one hundred K for every person one
hundred k. How many people is eking people? Two hundred
and fifty people? Fifty people?
Speaker 9 (09:48):
That's amazing.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
It's two hundred and fifty lives changed. Don't worry. I
know what you're thinking. You probably aren't thinking this, but
I thought about it. What about his kids? They are like, hey,
where's that erin?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
It's going He's all he sorted our kids out with
inheritance and he's still got enough for himself to live
off because he is basically caning life and he's been
a developer for a long time. So everyone's sorted. Everyone's happy.
This isn't dunce.
Speaker 9 (10:13):
What's the process in choosing people?
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I don't know, but can you imagine everyone's going to
come out of the woodwork and there is a system
where you have to prove how much you need because
he wants to give the grants between fifty and one
hundred K, so one hundred for the most needing fifty
Who just needs.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Such a good man New Island right there? Absolutely given
the title.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
It's so different from myself, you know, like if I
had turn fifty million dollars ad buy a.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yacht, can I just also say, this is not the
first time old Mate Rodge has done something like this.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
In January, he announced.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Plans to have sixty affordable homes across the city and
he sold them at one hundred thousand dollars below the
market value, just so people could get into homes. We
need more Rogers in this world.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yes, your daily feel good breakfast catch up podcast with
Coasts Tony, Jason, Sam.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Just have a twenty minutes away from the quarter final
for the women's sevens team. So if we were quarter final,
obviously we go through and we're into a middle life
thing after the Today I think is the day we went.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
To Meddle and we need a metal because we're still
searching for one.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Continues how I wonderful producer Rosies twenty two years old
and every Tuesday we get it to do a review
of something that we kind of grow up with, something
you would have watched in the past. Rosie Today, what
did you think of Beetlejuice?
Speaker 11 (11:29):
Well, as soon as the opening credits came on, I
thought it was going to be a lot scarier than
it was. That sounds scary, right, but then when they
actually start using that song within the movie and they're
dancing at a table.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
They're all possessed.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
Back.
Speaker 11 (11:55):
It's awesome, so funny, and they're trying to scare all
the people that live in.
Speaker 9 (11:59):
The house and they're not very good at scaring or something.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
They're terrible. Okay.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
One scene one of the offers of a smoke you
want to smoke, no thanks, and it's the monster offering
the dude to smoke.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
I'm just picturing Wenona Writer in the scene. She's really funny.
Speaker 11 (12:11):
But I think what also makes it quite funny is
this the graphics and everything that they use in this
How bad it is?
Speaker 6 (12:20):
What graphics do they use?
Speaker 11 (12:21):
I can't even remember when they die. Firstly, when they die,
they are so okay with being dead, Like I'm like,
why are you why are you not freaking out right now?
They're just like, oh, yeah, we must have died in
that crash.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
Well carry on exactly. And then and then when they die,
they go down into.
Speaker 11 (12:38):
This underworld thing that literally looks like the only way
I can describe it, so it looks like the green
screen room before they've put the edits onto it.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
No, probably was it's that bad.
Speaker 9 (12:51):
The budget probably ran out.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
They're still getting us to the green screen.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Well I do. I actually hardly remember it.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
And the reason the reason we've got Rosie to review
this is because Beetlejuice two was coming out, and if
you hadn't seen the original, you would have claimed that
the O g Beatle Juice.
Speaker 11 (13:05):
And I knew Ginna or Taker, who plays Wednesday and
the Adams family was going to be in it. And
as soon as I saw Lydia, the character from Beetlejuice,
I was like, that's the exact character that she must
she is the perfect person to be playing her.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Review, what do you give it?
Speaker 11 (13:23):
It was probably the weirdest, most bizarre movie I have
ever seen. Actual Beetlejuice is so weird and he's such
a creep.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Is scary and funny at the same time.
Speaker 11 (13:35):
Absolutely like he well again the scariness of it, I don't.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Know a creep. Was he somewhat charming or not really
not at all? Not at all, which was a little.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
I know, but I love that.
Speaker 11 (13:52):
So you'll watch Beetlejuice to the I can't wait for
it to come out.
Speaker 9 (13:58):
He'll be going back to isn't he?
Speaker 4 (14:01):
And I wanted to reflect on the trip because I've
only been home two days. In fact, I slept yesterday
from one pm till three o'clock am this morning.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
It was so you literally went from the gym straight
home to bed.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
And my poor wife ethuld have.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Told you should have cooked yourself on day one back.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
It wasn't the gym that got the I think it was.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
The calorie deficits.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
It's just the last month of just dragging children around
around Italy.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
So true, isn't it that you need a holiday from
your holiday?
Speaker 9 (14:27):
I did that yesterday. Yeah. I have a list though.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
It is what I learned about Italy and I want
to take you a few through a few things this morning.
So one of the big myths in Italy is that
they say everyone is like the tomatoes in Italy are
the best tomatoes in the world.
Speaker 9 (14:42):
So I went in with that expectation. The tomatoes are
exactly the same.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
I tried every tomato waiting for the magical tomato, and
all the tomatoes are exactly the same as our tomatoes.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Do you think though, that the difference is like if
you try and get tomatoes now, they're pretty average.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
They're only good out of season.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, yeah, But what I'm saying is did they have
good out of season tomatoes.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
I don't know that because it's tomato. Is the summer fruit,
isn't it, And they're in summer.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
So yeah, yeah, anyway, you need to go back at winter.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I was blown away by the history, but I wasn't
really blown away by the fruit. Pasta is pasta and
pizza is pizza. It doesn't matter where in the word
you eat it.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Yeah, okay, yeah, actually.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I know it's sacrilege to say that, but part of
me thought the same. I said, Oh, the pizzas are
so amazing, and.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
I was like, kinda just like the pizza hut what
I had, I kind of thought, so bad.
Speaker 9 (15:34):
The sun is better, though, I was, the sun is amazing.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Like we put a little of sunscreen on our face
when we first got there, and on our shoulders, and
then after about a week we weren't using any of it.
The atmosphere is completely stuffed. And there was never a
better example than you just went brown and.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
You just get that nice kind of constant tan. You
are blistered.
Speaker 9 (15:55):
Italian coffee is next level.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
The reason we put milk in our coffee is because
we haven't nailed coffee controversial, I know, but their coffee
there's straight shots.
Speaker 9 (16:04):
They are Italiano's. It's just absolutely gorgeous.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
I've not been able to go to the dark side,
but everyone tells me ditch the milk concussion.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
It can't happen. Sorry.
Speaker 9 (16:13):
Plastic bottles are different.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Have you seen the plastic bottles are there, so the
lids are attached to the bottle.
Speaker 9 (16:19):
You can't get the lid off the bottle.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
And I think it's something to do with the way
they recycles, so the lid stays with the bottle.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
It takes sense, doesn't it.
Speaker 9 (16:25):
It does, but every.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Time you drink it, you've got like a cap.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
The pasta will still make you fat.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
It will like they you know, they don't process the
wheat in the same way, and you get fat from
the pant I don't.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
Think I was gonna get skinny from eating Italian past.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
The reason you don't get fat when you're on Italian
holiday is because you have to walk everywhere.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I'm pretty sure I came back quite fat the last
time I went.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
I got my scales working, so came home and the
batteries are flat, and then I got them going.
Speaker 9 (16:54):
You set it's not great. It's like it's like six
kg's in a month.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Really yeah, but you coming from a very low bar.
You were basically starving when you leave.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
The fear of pick pocketing. You hear this stone, Yet
you trail in Europe, I don't know. We travel in
a group. There wasn't at no point anyone trying to
pick my pocket at any point. And you if they
can find my wallet in my bag and ten secrets
as they will past me, well done, because it takes
me about forty five minutes to the bottoment and find it.
And finally, cars don't stop at pedestrian crossings. Pedestrian crossings
(17:26):
in Italy a a gesture. It's like people might be
crossing the road here, but this is my.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
Right of way.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
You know, you you look at what heavens here in
New Zealand, dear a card stock.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
You look, it's the opposite there. That's what I learned
about it from home. In the SEVENS Women's quarter final,
right now, New Zealand have a China twenty four to
five to New Zealand. At the moment, we're just started
the second half.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
And we're on the attack and we've got six minutes.
Scouts looking pretty secure, isn't it. I mean you don't
like to peak.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Too ear least anything can happen. But yeah, so far, so.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Good, and that's even with Sarah hid Anee. She went
off for a bit toot, sit off for two minutes.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
We scored a trial within seventeen seconds. But anyway, twenty
four to five at the stage.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
Oh looking good.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Hey, we need to talk about this drama, this family
tree drama.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
So I read this article. It's an Australian story.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
And a woman was raised by who she thought was
her dad until age seven, right, and then he died
and it was really really sad, and she was looking
through some stuff in her mum's drawer and discovered some
notes that indicated he actually was and her father. So
she went and hit her mom up, and her mum
was crying and said, I didn't know how to tell you,
(18:37):
particularly since he died. I was waiting to were a
bit older. So essentially what had happened was he was
the love of her life. They couldn't get pregnant, so
she went and used a sperm donor. Okay, so the
sperm donor documentation was what the daughter found and she said, oh,
so my father's actually let's say John Smith she said, yes,
but you're allowed to track him down.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
But do you want him? She said, ye, I actually do.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I actually do want to track him down, just so
I can you know, eyeball, my biological father. So she
went through the process found this sperm donor.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
As luck would have it, he was a lovely man
and he was really welcoming.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
He'd gone on to have three children of his own,
so he started meeting her for coffee. They actually struck
up a really good relationship and eventually he introduced her
to her half siblings. And the wife didn't know either
that he was a sperm donor, so that was quite
a big thing for their family to be like, oh,
I've got this half child. You know he didn't know about.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
So all good.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
So another seven or eight years past and she, you know,
had a relationship with her biological father, so a bit
of a win win, you know, she had a lovely
father till seven but then she got the second relationship
until she then discovered, right they had that there was
a she had her own.
Speaker 9 (19:49):
Child, right, Oh, I'm looking forward to this, but.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
I know it just keeps going.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
She had her own child who had a rare abnormality,
and they had to get some DNA testing, and that
included finding out what the grandparents DNA was. Turns out
he isn't actually her father. So for ten years she'd
bonded with this man she thought was the sperm donor
to the mother and it wasn't actually him. And at
this point you're going, well, if it's not him, who
(20:14):
the hell is it and how did this go wrong?
So they went back to the sperm clinic and said,
what has happened. What has happened is there's been a
rogue owners distributor of the sperm and he has been
intiminating all of the people that go to his clinic himself.
So yep, so he is now the father to dozens
(20:36):
of children and has been putting down fake sperm donors.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
So now she's at the point where this.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Creepo is actually her father and she is going to
the courts to try and fight this guy because everyone
he's just run for cover and everyone's saying, no, he's
a pillar of the community.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
It's like art, No, he did something so unjust.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
How many families has he ruined?
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Exactly?
Speaker 9 (20:58):
Well, how many families is created? Let's look on the positive.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
No, no, no, but this porman like not not your dad? No, okay,
so then it's the no still your dad three dads in.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Yes, So she said she feels like she keeps losing
dads and she's ended up with the worst one, as
you can imagine, like that's.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
How she feels.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
But it did I sort of beg the question, have
you uncovered something about your family? Was your half sibling?
Did you not know your mother was your mother or
your father was your father? Or you know, when did
you get told about this?
Speaker 6 (21:25):
How did you uncover it?
Speaker 5 (21:26):
We'd love to know your family bombshells, no names, you
don't want to is tell us the story? Oh eight
hundred double O four coast or fause it takes to
two six nine.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Nine family tree bombshells. We're talking this morning after a
woman in Australia thought one man was her dad, he died,
She found out it was actually a sperm donor. She
went and met him, then found out it wasn't the
sperm donor, It was the sperm donor owner that had
inseminated himself and just here.
Speaker 9 (21:50):
Own the clinic and was just impregnating everyone with a sperm.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
It's shocking, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
But it is actually more common than you think, these
types of revelations.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Ian, what was the revelation and your family.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Oh, Bonnie, I was trying to find out when my
mother and father got married, because it was coming up
to the twenty fifth wedding anniversary, and there was very
vague about it. We've never told me or my sister
when it was. Anyway, we've punished to found the marriage certificate,
and in doing so we found out that my dad
(22:24):
had been married before. So the story was as I
found out in the end that in the war where
he was over fighting the Germans, his wife was fighting
some other different battles. And on the book, you know,
we did a bit more dig in and I found
(22:48):
out that I had a brother because but it was
my oldest brothers play. I found out that they were
married after he was born, which was strange. And then
I found out that my dad had been married before
and he had another brother. Did a bit of tracing
and found out it's called Neil. Managed to found out
that he went over to Canada with my dad's first wife,
(23:12):
and but we decided, me and my sister, we keep
it a bit quiet. And then my dad came up
to New Zealand to visitors, and I got a bit
this one night when I asked him, Yeah, yeah, he did.
He was quite upset about it.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
It was.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
It was quite a big thing during the in the
in the in the war days, you know, like the
parties and fifties, sixties.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Yeah, to tell you as well.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
Yeah, how's how's Neil?
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Well, I don't know. I never went any further than that.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
About the different bullets he was firing at the war.
I get it. That's whore cky hell, I want him
with you.
Speaker 8 (23:49):
I didn't like DNA on one of those DNA websites anyway,
I am I. You know, you get these cousins. Things
come through and you kind of don't pay much attention,
and you sort of see that you have DNA in
common with someone, and I kind of saw that I
had a lot more DNA in common with this one guy,
(24:09):
and we sort of did the did the figures, and
basically he was either going to be like a great
uncle or a grandfather, and he definitely wasn't an uncle.
And it turns out he was a half brother to
my dad, which means that my grandfather wasn't my grandfather.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Oh wow, you were you were you did you feel agreed?
Were you were you that grumpy that people lied to you?
Or were you okay with it?
Speaker 7 (24:36):
Well?
Speaker 8 (24:36):
Noting sort of lied. I mean, we immigrated to New
Zealand a long time ago, and I didn't really know
my grandparents on my dad's side as well as I
could have as I as brought out over here, which
is one of the reasons why I didn't mind texting him,
because it's not going to upset anybody in me telling
you anyway. But basically, yeah, I my dad was always
(25:02):
treated different to her siblings, and he always suspected that
there was some sort of difference between them, and he
is very different looking, but he does look a lot
like his mum, so they kind of, you know, it
didn't really say very much, but yeah, So it turns
out my grandmother had a bit of a footing.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Honestly, We've got so many Texas similar veins. I found
out just over twelve months ago, at the age of
fifty six, that who I thought was my biological father
was not. He finally told me after a number of circumstances,
which to me was actually a relief because it answered
a whole lot of questions for me about my life.
That's a bombshell. Not when your father or your mother
is not actually your parents.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Well remember when I did that Detective show where they
traced my ancestry. Half of the contestants had to pull
out because there were things in their family stories that
would potentially ruin their families.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
This is so common.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I've got people very close to me that found out
that they had half siblings they didn't know about, grew
up thinking they were siblings, and then oh different father.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
What It's more common than you think.
Speaker 9 (26:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
More from Tony Street Try We need to talk Tony's
health and lifestyle podcast. Now back to Coasts, Feel Good
Breakfast catch Up with Tony Jason Sam.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
We need to talk about the Olympics, the good, the bad,
and the ugly, and that's what we're doing every day.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
I've actually got a couple of good things today. Well,
there's been many good things, but.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
This is well, I kind of am because he's been
so much controversy and so much drama and wokeness so
far at the Games. And we did talk about your
commentator earlier this show, Jay so got sent packing. I'm
not bringing him into this because I didn't know which
category he fitted into quite honestly, all three probably.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
So for the good speedo man, Bob the cap Catcher.
If you haven't heard this story, this is the greatest
story I think to come out of the Olympics so far.
Not all heroes wear capes, That's what they're saying about
this guy. So he was tasked with going into the
pool because someone's cap had fallen off and were in
the way of the footage and they didn't wanted to
interfere with any of the lanes. So nick minute, this
(27:05):
guy comes out, Bob the cat Catcher in floral speedos
and jumps into the.
Speaker 6 (27:11):
Pool to get the cat. He had them all, whipped
them off.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
You know, there was there was no just like standard spiedos,
they were floral.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
He had his moments, his.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Charms embrace the moment, didn't he And there was never
a truer moment of comparing a dead versus an athlete.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Was there?
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Here was anything wrong with his body?
Speaker 9 (27:34):
Wasn't that he was not?
Speaker 6 (27:37):
I just think he looked like Sam post Europe.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Before I had my travel fatness.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
So clearly Sam stopped saying that you've got body of
Swarfia the other good thing I liked, and it was
a good thing that kind of came out of a
poor performance. Clark Johnston, who was one of our equestrians,
had this summary of he performed.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
And he actually apologized to his horse. Unfortunately today I've
let him down and I've had a beence down in
each round, which were my mistakes, especially in the individual round.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
I should have been better.
Speaker 7 (28:12):
So I'm disappointed in myself.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
So in the UK you've got literally their top of
questrian whipping their horse of being sent home. We're literally
apologizing to our.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
So nice.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I did think that was good from Clark, though, you
know it was quite often people get really defensive when
they underperformed, but he kind of just said it how
it was and then you respected him for it.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
The horse, I'm heard the bad Did you see this?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
So for Rory around that scene in the opening ceremony,
you know when there was a whole lot of dragged
queen's transgender all sitting up along a big long table.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
Did you see there.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Was also a singer who was made up as a
Greek god of wine. And now the Olympic Midity Committee
have had to come out because apparently it was unintended
parody of the biblical scene.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
And I'm like, nintended?
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Was it set up the Last Supper with drag queens,
didn't they? And you can see how that could stir
a few people up.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
Absolutely, but I think if they wanted to do that,
that's not unintended anyway.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
Anyway, that's the line they're going.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
And the last one, the ugly for the Olympics for
the last day is the debate from the USA track team.
So we're talking about the running out for Okay, Now,
this is on the same night that I saw Zoe
Hobbs displaying ours and in risque fashion, we've got a
couple of cutouts in her running uniform, you know, really
(29:43):
cut ups on the side. I don't know if that's
just because it's in at the moment or whether it's aerodynamics,
but everyone will not everyone, the woke community and the
US have said it's unfair that that's what the women
are racing in in the States and that the men
have got bike shorts.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
Well, that's ridiculous, isn't that what they do? Every single
reason you.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Wear box ships as a man is because of the
anatomy bollocks, like it's you have to contain that.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
It's literally the difference.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
I mean, to be fair, I could get away with that.
Have I had the choice to run in togs and
bike shorts, I know what I'd pick. What would you
pack the bike shorts?
Speaker 5 (30:23):
That's a good man. The only thing, very much, Tony,
the Chasers on Coast is your chance to be Olympic champion.
Right now at list the chases champion? Call us right now,
I W eight hundred double O four Coast. That's quickly
roll the dice. Who's playing today?
Speaker 1 (30:34):
You've been hammered lately, European boy.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
Play all right? Cool now I W eight hundred double
O four Coast. Take on Tony Street. You can win
five hundred bucks cash the Chasers on Coast.
Speaker 7 (30:52):
I'm from workman and the fight when the money probably
take them out for lunch, beautiful.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
Watch your wife's name, Sam? Sorry, what's your wife's name?
The questions get harder. I'll be honest.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
Today I'm nervous.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I mean, we can't have too many questions on the Olympics,
because we couldn't have a question saying who's won a
middle yet?
Speaker 7 (31:21):
Right?
Speaker 9 (31:21):
True?
Speaker 5 (31:22):
True?
Speaker 6 (31:23):
What else could it be?
Speaker 5 (31:24):
Who knows? This is an interesting one.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
I reckon Tony could really trip on the first easy ones,
trippy ones.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
I don't want to ruin things. But we had a
practice outside. I tripped on the first one.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
Did you triple it?
Speaker 9 (31:35):
Not me?
Speaker 5 (31:36):
Did you not?
Speaker 6 (31:37):
He hit a holiday for a month, so all right?
Speaker 5 (31:40):
So Sam versus Sam? Why she does Tony versus Sam?
Sam's gonna read the questions to Sam so Eric will
feel we're about to start in the pool.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Say that Sam versus Sam, though, because quite often I
can't beat your worst opponent.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
Now just to the Olympics updates that Erica feel it
is about to race. This is I believe her. This
is the finals. So we'll find out she wins the
middle with this, we'll find out a few wins. Caresh
with us through Sam. Thirty seconds on the clock, five
pushes to get through. You can't pass. If we have time,
will come back to those ones. Doesn't matter what you get, though,
because if Tony can't match your score, you willin that
money to take Nadia up for dinner. Are you ready?
Speaker 7 (32:10):
Yep?
Speaker 5 (32:11):
All right, Sam, Your time starts now.

Speaker 5 (32:39):
No, it's not bad though. First three straight out of
the gates.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Absolutely, I reckon, you're in with the snuff.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Yeah, Tony never pays attention, she says at the door
and has her back turned to us. Oh here she
is in good time, Stridi, you are chasing a respectable three.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
I was just actually out there with some of the
coat staff toting why none of our swimmers are reaching
PBS And apparently there's an article on it that lots
of swimmers aren't because of the conditions in the village.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Hard beds and a cardboard beds.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Here though, someone nearly got a world record yesterday, so
it kind of just spells.
Speaker 5 (33:13):
That aready thirty seconds on the lot to try and
chase down Sam's three out of five, try and keep
the five hundred dollars safe.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
I don't feel great today about this.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
Your time starts now, sure or false?
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Dalmatians are born with spots?

five out of five.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
Take you fourth War music.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Congratulations. So we played for six hundred dollars. Tomorrow SAMs
back from so journe around Europe.
Speaker 9 (34:08):
And I don't want to be the guy that's always
talking about the toilets. But here we go again.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
I need to again, toilet reporter.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
Well, that's because when I was overseas, I discovered that
the best invention in the entire world is a paid toilet. Now,
let me explain why a public toilet is a nasty thing.
Speaker 9 (34:24):
Every time they disappoint, don't they?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
They're not all created terribly. I can think right now.
The takapoona norseal maul, isn't bad.
Speaker 6 (34:34):
Yeah, toilet, Yeah.
Speaker 9 (34:36):
Low traffic volumes.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
As soon as you get high traffic volumes, you get
problems though, don't you. And that was the thing over
in Europe there was high traffic, volumes, and you go
into some public toilet, you'd be like, oh my gosh.
And then you've got three young people that need to
go for a p and they've got their hands on everything,
and it's the most discussing thing in the entire world.
Speaker 6 (34:52):
What's that about? Why why does high traffic lead to
grossy people?
Speaker 5 (34:58):
No, No, it's just people might owned a bar and
he said the women's toilets was every every single day,
far worse than the men's toilets, so bad I couldn't
believe it.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Yeah, but then we came across paid toilets and they
cost you a euro over overseas?
Speaker 6 (35:12):
Is that like two dollars in New Zealand?
Speaker 4 (35:14):
And every time I came to him, I was like, God,
bless everyone had to pay toilet.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
Everyone go to the toilet.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Because it's clean. They have someone that's stationed there to
keep the public toilets clean. And I think it's the
most incredible thing.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
So do you pay per cubicle or do you pay
per person? So you were paying quite a lot to
get your family.
Speaker 9 (35:32):
Five nine times out of ten they gave us the
kids for free though in.
Speaker 6 (35:35):
Bucks ten New Zealand parts.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
That's an expensive we normally costs you about four bucks.
Speaker 9 (35:40):
Because there's been me and Sarah.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
Because remember Tope' had that superlu for a while. He
had to pay for that, ye was that one that
was like fifty cents or something.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
I'm with you, Sam, I feel like, particularly at certain
times where you just want the cleanliness and I would
pay all do you know?
Speaker 4 (35:57):
There was one example though, where I didn't have to
pay for a toilet.
Speaker 9 (36:00):
It was a bizarre and Istanbul.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
It's a bizarre like a market, a market. He said
she had gold market. It's famous for people selling cheap jewelry,
cheap gold and everything like that. We went into the
toys all the kids need to go and it was
a crime scene.
Speaker 9 (36:13):
It was the worst thing.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
There was a man that looked like Lurch and he
had buckets of Corey and water and he was just
splashing the whole cubicle.
Speaker 9 (36:21):
And I walked down there and it was all dark.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
I think he was walked and he walked up to
me and he put his arm around me and saw don't.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Touch me, and he just carefully walked me out of
the bathroom and he unlocked another door and it was
this little, secret, clean bathroom for all our kids. He
was the nicest man, you know. He was a lovely lurch,
ignored the.
Speaker 5 (36:44):
Evidence around him.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
It was a reason he got you out of there.
He didn't want you.
Speaker 5 (36:49):
To report it. Such a good day today, you know today,
and this has been declared by the UN International Day
of Friendship, So today's day. It's been a nice missaity friend.
Although were gonna hang it, but it's a bit of
a time together to do.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Actually, speaking of which maybe it's one on one time
with that friend, because we need to talk about it.
I want you to tell me right now, have a think.
How much one on one time do you spend with anyone?
Speaker 5 (37:12):
Right?
Speaker 6 (37:12):
Any person?
Speaker 9 (37:13):
Almost pitching for it when Jason's always hanging around.
Speaker 6 (37:21):
I'll give you an example of my life, Okay.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
I spend quite a lot of one on one time
with my husband, mainly during the day when he's working
from home and I get home from here around lunchtimeish.
We get a few precious hours, normally talking about Edmund
before we do the school pick up. But then when
it comes to other people, usually if I meet with
my mates. It's in a group because we all try
and you know, kill two beds with one stuf.
Speaker 9 (37:45):
Absolutely with all your friends at once.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
It's not very often, or it's like the netball mums,
or it's my mum and dad.
Speaker 6 (37:52):
It's not just one on one time. And I just.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Don't think we do enough of it, because there's nothing
like the undivided attention of one person, is there?
Speaker 6 (38:01):
Right? And I experienced this and made.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
A deliberate effort to do so, kind of by chance
in the school holidays, so my daughter went to the
Gold Coast with another family who has an only child.
They asked if she could go with them and a
company for a company because they were going on with
the thing parks.
Speaker 9 (38:17):
Because it makes parenting so much easier when there's another kids.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Oh yeah, and just between you and me, I don't
think the mum really wanted to go on all the
big roller.
Speaker 6 (38:25):
Coasters, so she wanted to have a vessel love it Nikola.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Anyway, that happened, and then I decided, because I was
actually already in Sydney with a couple of friends, that
I would fly to the Gold Coast and meet them.
So I got one on one time with my eleven
year old daughter, and I suddenly realized, I don't think
we've had much one on one time since she was
born because I've been dealing with three children, and usually
we do things as a family because it's easier. Even
(38:51):
if we split up, there's usually two kids at least
with me at any one time. So I got back
from that trip and I found it was so valuable
that I've decided now at intermediate, I'm going to do
something similar that probably might not be overseas, but spend
some quality time with each of the children individually. And
I did it with my son and the single week
school holidays we went mini patting and go karting. Completely
(39:14):
different vibe, particularly I think for the youngest child who
has often got his sister's annoying them and he's getting
dragged to all of these gus.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
Don't you feel like that they come alive.
Speaker 6 (39:23):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (39:24):
There's a whole different element to the maid and.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
You're really listening to what they say because there's no
one else distracting you. There's not even your husband to
distract you. And that's what I mean too, because when
there's three, it's a different dynamic again totally.
Speaker 5 (39:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
I mean I see my kids fighting for time to speak,
you know, just to be heard.
Speaker 9 (39:40):
You know, it's my turn, it's my ten.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
But do you know what, that's a good skill in itself,
because that's life.
Speaker 6 (39:45):
So that's that.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
I still think that's valuable, and that's a skill that
if you're an only child you need to learn too.
But I do think you get something quite different from
one on one time. So maybe today, on the day
of friendship, take out one of your friends for a
coffee or a quick chat and just see how that rolls.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Yeah, they'll just turn into drinking beer though, and we'll
be six and to call it.
