The Coast Breakfast Bonus Podcast with Tony Jason Sam. Thanks
for listening to our Breakfast Bonus podcast Today. We're talking
about gifts, but gifts around the world.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah, so I have regret. I have been very lucky
to travel for work, and along those those wonderful journeys
which included New York and Miami and Australia and Long Island.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
And immut Bahama.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
That's it, I fell in love with certain pieces of
art along the way and didn't purchase them.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Well, you're quite a discerning art lover.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
On sure, no quiet taste, I have no, I have one. No,
I have one Graham Brinsley, which he's a New Zealand
painter based out of Arrowtown. And the reason I got
that painting was because I got him to paint it
on Breakfast while I did the show, and then just
snapped it up and took it away.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
So that's what I just said. As it turns out,
I also get to keep the.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
But that's a wonderful memento for my time on Breakfast.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
You've had a varied memento history, don't you What dog
you had that you had?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
The glass bone blow and phelic?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Well, I did quite well on breakfast, and I didn't
keep up the tradition because you know, when I did
tourism Australia last year, I found the most monumental Aboriginal painting.
It was about six foot high, about four foot wide,
and it was based with tiny little brushstrokes. The whole
thing was individual.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Was that free?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
No, that was two thousand dollars, but I wish I
bought it. And then there was a painting of Dean's
Blue Hole up in Long Island.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Why is it blue?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Two questions?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Dean's Blue Hole where William Truebridge set the record for
the deepest die because I couldn't afford it at the time,
but I was like two thousand dollars as well, everything's
two thousand to four.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Need people to paint these things so you can keep
stealing them, can.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
You reach respectively? Go back and just you know, we
cost me a fortune to do that. But over time
I feel like I could have afforded it, and I
would have filled my house with beautiful mementos of the
trips I've done overseas.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
That's why you've brought correct.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah. So when I went to Morano recently, there was
a clock well, there was actually a beautiful set of
pictures and.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
What's Morano famous for glass?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
So I went to the glass blowing factory and there
was this wonderful picture of a big jug and not
sorry a picture, you know.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Like a picture a jugging cups, yeah, jugging cups, but
a picture and goblets.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Thank you so inst that you went and.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
You and I said, I will have those goblets in
those cups. And they said that will be three thousand
dollars and I said, I can't affoord that I'll have
that clock up there? How much is that? They said
two hundred ninety dollars, And then I walked down the
road and I found it for one hundred and ninety dollars.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
You don't know is that clock actually wasn't for sale.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
It was just the clock they bug up on the
wall and they went for he wants the clock, just
give it to him.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
It wasn't even a Morano, damn it.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
No.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
We did something similar that. We had a family holiday
in Queenstown and in the hotel we stayed at this
incredible artwork on but it was little glass leaves and
the leaves were all like golden brown, like you know,
like like our town and queens done and autumn, stunning
piece of artwork. It kind of like fell out of
the wall, came towards three D and we looked around
at w inter receptions. So do you know the artists
it's a local artist power and they keep trying to
(03:09):
track this person down and they never Months later I
rang back and they didn't know what I had, the
room number of the artwork. They couldn't track it down.
And to this day I still regret that.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Yeah, it's nice to have momentos, isn't it. I mean,
you'll always look at that clock and think what a
poor choice.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Do you know it wasn't the only pour choice I
made either.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
No, you don't know it's a poor choice. Here it
look might look great on your wall.
Speaker 2 (03:31):

the best ice cream in the world. This is a
little place out of Florence, a little city, amazing, you know,
with parapets and big castle walls around the outside, famous
for lemons and famous for the best ice cream in
the world. And do you know what, I bought a
tiny scooter with Italian cuddles. No, not a model, it's

size as maybe an open laptop.

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