Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Tony Jason Sam's best show Moments podcast, the
very best of Coasts Feel Good Breakfast this week.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Thanks from the sojourn around Europe, including through France.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Yeah, I don't want to talk about Venice at this
point because I made.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
A purchase in Venice.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
It was a clock and a place called Mrano, which
is famous internationally for its glass making, its glass blow.
When we went and saw a demonstration of them blowing
beautiful glass and there was a man there that is,
you know, twenty generations of glass blower and made stuff
from the pope.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
What did you buy?
Speaker 6 (00:33):
Because I've got a few thoughts on what if you
got to choose a glass object, what you might ask
for based on previous trips around New Zealand glass blowing.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Well, I blew a penis once when I was.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
On Again Tell People what You're Really Breakfast.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Television, and I've got a fear bit of trouble for it,
but it was very funny.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
I remember that time. We were also in Wanganui and
you wanted them to make you again and they refused.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
You kept asking to pay them cash and kept up
in the off and they're like, no, we're not going
to do that.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I bought a clock in Morano, and when I bought it,
I talked them down. Boy, I did a great job
of negotiating the price. I got it down to turn
ninety euros.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
It is a multi colored clock.
Speaker 6 (01:18):
Okay, everyone thinks they got a deal of Morando.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
And then I wore it.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
And then I walked out of Morano and I walked
down just to a normal shop on the side of
the road, and that same clock was one hundred euros.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Chief, And I bet you, I bet she took you
out to a secret room out in the back too.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Let's have a conversation and the secret room out back here.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
So anyway, it got more complicated that because when I
purchased the clock, I bought it under the proviso that
they would send it back to Auckland's safe and sound.
But I apparently after I paid for it, they said
you have to spend a thousand euros in order to
get that free shipping.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Because it's made of glass, right, curious, Yeah, So what I.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
What they did is they packaged it up and then
it had twenty six more days of travels in my
bag and I have it right here in the studio
but unopened, and I don't know if it's made it
or not.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
And there's there were some punches all over the cobbles.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
You've had your suitcases.
Speaker 7 (02:10):
And at how intricate this thing is, how fragile this.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Is basically I'll show you in just a second, but
it's a it's a sun, and every little soul of
flare on the sun all the way around the outside
is a very fragile piece of glass with a pendulum
that swings off the bottom.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Talk us through why you chose a flaming sun.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Clock because I couldn't afford the glasses that I wanted.
They were a thousand euros three shipping. I would have,
but I wanted the picture with the beautiful glasses. You know,
imagine drinking gin from a glass from a runa for
the rest of your day.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
But now you can look every time you look at
the time. Assuming it's not broken.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I'm going to open it right now.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Broken a lot, I reckon, I reckon, it's okay, I reckon,
it's stone glass.
Speaker 8 (02:51):
I think they know how to pack things. Yeah, it's
not broken. No, please, no, look at that is intact,
its complete. But where's the pendulum that swings off, the
off off.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
It's not going to work. It's now a platter.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
The is complete, but the swings at the bottom. It's
going to be in here.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
Good news, and it's there.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
I think that's another thousand.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
A fact it separately is that broken? So it's removable pendulum.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
Oh we're good everyone. I reckon that will look really
nice in the kids room.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Do you not like it?
Speaker 9 (03:38):
No?
Speaker 5 (03:38):
I think it's really pretty.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Do you not put it in the lounge?
Speaker 10 (03:41):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (03:46):
You put it in your lounge, my lounge.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Be honest, be honest.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
You've got you've got like JP planes, You've got big
up JEP planes up on your wall.
Speaker 7 (03:56):
Put that right next to it.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
It's really pretty. And you look at that clock, you'll
think of your trip, which is.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Awesome, beautiful, and losing euro to the wrong place.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
But you can't put a price on that. Is that happiness?
That's happiness.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Hey, we need to talk about this drama, this family
tree drama. So I read this article. It's an Australian
story 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
(04:31):
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, particularly since he died. I was waiting to
we 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
(04:54):
and she said, oh, so my father's actually let's say
John Smith. She said yes, but you're allowed to track
your down, but do you want to And she said, yeah,
I actually do. 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 the sperm donor.
As luck would have it, he was a lovely man
and he was really welcoming. He'd gone on to have
(05:15):
three children of his own, so he started meeting.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Her for coffee.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
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
you didn't know about, so all good.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
So another seven or.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
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 child.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Right, I'm looking forward to this, but I know it.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Just keeps going.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
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
(06:15):
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 owner distributor of the sperm and he has been
intiminating all of the people that go to his clinic himself.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
So he is now the father to dozens of children
and has been putting down fake sperm donors.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
So now she's at the point where this.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
Creeper 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 5 (06:54):
It's like, ar, no, he did something so unjust how.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Many families has he ruined or how many families has created?
Speaker 7 (07:01):
Let's look on the positive.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
No, no, no, but this is Porman like not your dad, No, okay,
so then it's there now your dad three dads in.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
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 how she feels. But it
did I sort of beg the question, have you uncomvered
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 5 (07:26):
How did you uncover it?
Speaker 7 (07:28):
We'd love to know your family bombshells, no names.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
You don't want to is tell us the story Oh
eight hundred double O four coast or fiause it takes
to two six.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Ninety nine family tree bombshells.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
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.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Himself and here on the clinic and was just impregnating
everyone with a sperm.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
It's shocking, isn't it, But it is actually more common
than you think, these types of revelations.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
And what was the revelation in your family.
Speaker 11 (08:03):
Oh, Bonny, 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 him. We've never told me or my sister
when it was. Anyway, we've punished to found in marriage
to forget, and in doing so we found out that
(08:25):
my dad 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 other book, you know.
We we did a bit more dig in and I
(08:49):
found out that I had I had a brother because
but it was my oldest brother's play. I found out
that they were married after he was born, which was strange.
And then the found out that my dad had been
married before and 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
(09:12):
first wife, 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. It was.
It was quite a big thing during the in the
in the in the war days, you know, like the
(09:32):
parties and fifties, sixties.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Yeah, to tell you as well.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
Yeah, how's how's Neil?
Speaker 11 (09:40):
Well, I don't know. I never went any further than that.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
You told you about the different bullets he was firing
at the war. I get it. That's that's who more lcky, Hello,
what happened with you?
Speaker 10 (09:50):
I did my DNA on one of those DNA websites anyway,
I am I. You know, you get these cousin 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,
(10:11):
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 ankle.
And it turns out he was a half brother to
my dad, which means that my grandfather wasn't my grandfather.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Wow, Wow, you were you?
Speaker 8 (10:32):
Were you?
Speaker 6 (10:32):
Did you feel agreed? Were you were you a bit
grumpy that people lied to you? Or were you okay
with it?
Speaker 10 (10:37):
Well knowing 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 far as brought out over there,
which is one of the reasons why I didn't mind
texting in because it's not going to upset anybody in
me telling you anyway. But basically, yeah, my dad was
(11:03):
always 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 couldn't really stay very much, but yeah, So it
turns out my grandmother had a bit of a fling.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
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 3 (11:44):
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 ruined their families.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Is so common.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
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 9 (12:01):
What.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
It's more common than you think.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Your weekly feel good breakfast best show Moments podcast, The
Very Best of Coasts, Tony Street, Jace Reeves and Sam
Waller's travel Disasters.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
It's happened to the best of us.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I mean one of the first things that comes to mind,
Street is your trip to Canada where everyone was both ends.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Yeah, both my dad and I were hospitalized as and
he his feint which we all thought was a heart attack,
grinded a plane to.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
A halt take off.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Not not the funnest time for my mum's sixtieth birthday.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, now it might have been a coincidence, but there
was a point in Dubai where a man breathed menthol
in my face at a market and to explain how
refreshing it was. And then the next day I woke
up with double pinki. Now I could have just been
a dirty pillow and a double conjunctivitis. Who but either way,
I started my European holiday with weepy eyes and good
for the gram Nah, it didn't look great at all.
(12:56):
But there was a few other instances along the way.
We got a little bit of COVID, a double case
of COVID. My parents came down with it, and then
my sister got it. It was a mild case. So they
recovered quite nicely.
Speaker 6 (13:06):
Yeah, so there's no hospitalization, it's no having to go
to the bathroom in the middle of snow.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
So that's what we wanted to talk about today is
the those these horrible disasters went on holiday. Jason, have
you ever had a holiday disaster?
Speaker 7 (13:21):
Yeah? I have, actually a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Actually, I was saying before the woman who kicked the
kicked a tone out off on a rock and Thailand.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
That was my wife, Louise the rock.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
And came up with you we're going to talk to
little medical center in the middle of it was lost
tone now though it was just hanging on to thester
lots of ID and it looked horrific anyway.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
But then were in Bali. We we were saying.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
It wasn't you got a squirreay that what's wrong with you?
Speaker 7 (13:51):
No?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
You know what, There's this massive downboard during the night
and there was a little sipping pulled outside our villa
and that started rising up and flooding, and we didn't
realize until our lamp and our room started flicking on
and off and what had happened. Our attire floor started flooding,
and it started tripping the lamp, so we couldn't walk
in the water because obviously clear it was electric in
their electricity in as well. Had to make a quick
(14:16):
phone call and they had to come out, and it
was so flooded.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
They had these people here.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
They cut the power to the room and they had
sticks and they're banging the sticks in the water because
next to us was a rice field and the thingking
that snakes might be in the water. We had to
grab our bags, carry our bags and walk through the
flooded resort upstairs get out of the flooded water, and
they had to indy out our pool and everything else.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
It was first time in human history that playing the
flora's lava became a.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
Skill that training paid off. So what happened to your
travel disaster?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
O W eight hundred double O four coast out phone
and we'd love to hear the story or flick the
text to two six nine nine.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Our family was gold medal winners and travel disasters. Recently
on our trip away, we had a double case of COVID,
a double case of conjunctivitis and they were in both
of my eyes.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
I lost a chart.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I forgot to bring a charger for my computer, had
to buy a new one two hundred and fifty euros
to replace its hours away.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
And we missed the train.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Had to get the whole family of eleven people tickets
to replace those train tickets, and that was a small
fortune as well.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Did you miss the flight as well? Was it just
the train?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Just the train that could have been worse you? Well,
then still that it's pretty bad. Athur What happened to you
with your travel disaster?
Speaker 12 (15:22):
Well, well, right, a pretty minor after all yours. And
I thought I might like to join Sam's family. Yeah,
maybe not now, but look, I don't know how many
times in New Zealand I've been wanting to get into
christ Church twice now circled being delayed for two hours
out of Auckland depart fly down, then they say, oh
fog and christ Church, we're going to circle. The first
(15:44):
time was an hour and a half we circled over
Nelson and then they said no, we're coming back. As
we came back to Walkland. That was the whole day lost.
And then two and a half weeks later the same
thing happened. Then going to win v Cargo, No, why
would you go to Vicago it's a beautiful place given
the christ Church. And then the league in the cargo's
canceled because the need and the airport's closed and there's
(16:07):
no alternate airport.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Yeah, of course, after I'm starting to think it's you.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
Something happened yesterday too.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
A plane load left from Ortand to go to Raratona
and they tried to land twice and Raratona couldn't do it,
so they.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
Flew all the way back to Awkword.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
What was the weather?
Speaker 7 (16:21):
Bet? Yeah, cross ones, that's terrifying.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Return to home things weird, doesn't I agree that?
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Well?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
How many times do you try and land run out
of fuel twice?
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Apparently?
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Do you know that?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Historically when in New Zealand was called Teal and they
took seaplanes up to Pacific islands, they could just land
anywhere because they had seaplanes ased.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
So maybe seaplane's the seaplanes. What happened on you on
your travels?
Speaker 11 (16:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (16:46):
Yeah, moment was just a toilet thing, so I wasn't
anything major.
Speaker 11 (16:50):
But I was in.
Speaker 13 (16:52):
Craft and I was catching a train to Berlin, the
main station there, and I was busting to go to
the toilet. I shouldn't been twenty minutes hunting around the
entire station looking for this toilet. It wasn't well signposted,
and the language barrier obviously was there, but I eventually
found it. It was on the outside of the station and
(17:13):
I got there and then there was this little woman
there with a hand now wanting money to let me
get into the toilet. And by this time I was bucking,
I was doing the jitterbug, and I was squirming and
everything she could see I was desperate, so she just
let me in for free.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
So honestly, not being a fighter toilet when you've got
to go is one of the world's worst feelings, isn't it.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Any where in the world have their feeling. It's all for
one more quickly, Hello Helen.
Speaker 14 (17:40):
Good morning team, How are we really good?
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Thank you?
Speaker 6 (17:42):
What a so.
Speaker 14 (17:44):
I was on my honeymoon. I was only nineteen years
old and first time abroad over in Greece because I
was living in the UK. And I saw this speedboat
pulling you know, do'nut bringing behind it. I thought he
looked so much fun, and I thought I heard was laughed.
I thought, oh, we must do that. And I was
lighter than I am now and so went on this
so that ring, and I was lighter that I am now,
(18:05):
I said, and it became a white knuckle ride because
I kept summer sorting off backwards. And then my life
jacket was too big for me. So as my life
jacket popped up over my head, my bikini bottoms came
down in that lovely clear blue water.
Speaker 10 (18:19):
Lovely gentlemen tried to come to help me, and I
was like, no, no, away from.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
The worship of your life. But all the other teruristlie
that was great. This was woman.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
Actually, Helen, I'm going to make you feel better by
reading this text. To finish. I was in Egypt and
you not to drink the water. However, I had a
salad with my steak. I was crooked for two days
and sitting on the toilet stark is in my room,
leagues up against the wall, arms resting on knees, feeling
really sad for myself, and three cleaness walked in and
saw me in all my glory.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
You were waking up feeling so good, tired, but so
good because Hayden Wild won silver in the triathlon on
Paris last night.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
Meal up scared totally. He's on the phone right now.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Oh my god, that was the best race we've ever watched.
We just loved it so much. Congratulations, thanks so much,
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (19:10):
Just suffered in the heat.
Speaker 15 (19:12):
Obviously wasn't really prepared to be racing at ten o'clock
like we were.
Speaker 9 (19:17):
We were obviously no admitted to race it race at eight,
so I stuffered a bit of the heat.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Oh my gosh, can you just run us through it?
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Because it was just so compelling from the very beginning.
Let'st start with the swim. When you finished the swim,
what was going through your mind at that point?
Speaker 9 (19:34):
I was actually like it.
Speaker 15 (19:36):
I was pretty satisfied, and I was like, like, when
I go on to transition, like fifty seconds back, so
not too bad. I know.
Speaker 9 (19:42):
It's some pretty talented athletes around me.
Speaker 15 (19:45):
Yeah, I have to pretty much a massive thanks to
told Dylan McCulloch.
Speaker 9 (19:51):
It was he sacrifices race to come back and help me.
I was doing a lot of work on the front and.
Speaker 15 (19:56):
I feel like if it wasn't for him, I would
have definitely a middle chance, a lot harder.
Speaker 9 (20:03):
Definitely. One of the biggest.
Speaker 15 (20:06):
Highlights was still dropping back, and I'll definitely remember that
one for the for the rest of my life.
Speaker 9 (20:10):
I think so. Yeah, berkudos to Dylan.
Speaker 15 (20:13):
It was just it was just so selfless for him
to come back and and support me and get me
into the right position to.
Speaker 9 (20:20):
Deliver for New Zealand.
Speaker 15 (20:21):
And yeah, we got on the run and I've felt
extremely good. I actually raced Alex a few months ago,
and you know, when I got up to me, he
did the same thing where he slowed up a little
bit and that gave him the opportunity to recover in
the last race.
Speaker 9 (20:36):
So this time I was like, right, this is my
time and my chance to really make him hurt.
Speaker 15 (20:41):
And it was the first time and the time of
work race that I've I've been able to go through
and drop to drop him. And I was feeling really good.
And then about two k to Goo that the heat
started getting to me. And yeah, it was a lot
hotter than expected. He's probably more humidity than it was
(21:02):
in the Tokyo Olympics.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
So the body was just.
Speaker 15 (21:06):
Really struggling to cool down and it was just starting
to get into emergency mode and was doing all I
possibly can to get the finish line, but just just
ran out of gas.
Speaker 9 (21:15):
And yeah, second second it was, but yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
What a race Honestly, you've just made us all so proud,
and you've made so many keywis tied at work today
because we just couldn't.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Go to bed, Like there was just no way.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
You know, that final turn, I think you hit about
two hundred meters to go and you could feel alex
Ye breathing down your neck. Did you try and think,
can these legs just move any faster? Or did you
know at that point that there was just no way,
Like you say you were in the emergency zone.
Speaker 9 (21:45):
Yeah, like I didn't.
Speaker 15 (21:46):
I didn't look at bath once and that last a case,
so I don't know where he was.
Speaker 9 (21:50):
And yeah, he just went past like I was walking.
Speaker 15 (21:53):
I just I was just so depleted with everything. Like
I did the perfect fuel strategy and did everything to
possibly get to the end of the race, but I
was just so I was just so hot and I
just could not recover.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
We saw that. But absolutely so proud of you.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Thank you so much, Hayden. And just a little bit
of extra info for everyone one. Hayden has said he
is absolutely going to compete in LA and apparently his
partner's fire, but he said he has to go and
get the gold. He's gone bronze silver gold. Secondly, we
get their joy of watching him again in the mixed
relay events on Monday. So that is a three hundred
(22:32):
meter swim, six point eight k cycle and a two
k run and it goes female male female male in
that succession.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
So sure a distance computers so we could be in
the hut for that.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
This is so good because now he's conditioned to those
conditions if I want.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
He used to say for twice, do you know what
I mean?
Speaker 2 (22:47):
He knows now the heat, he knows the humans that
he knows what he has to do now.
Speaker 6 (22:49):
And don't forget Dylan McCulloch before he went back and
helped Hayden Wilde was actually a head of Hayden. Yes,
right right, so he's good too as well.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
I'm saying, wonderful tea mate.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Yeah, I wouldn't think like that.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
I'd just be I'd be looking at the finish line.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
But also said Jason's stories, just binet.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
Jase would definitely come back. And also what it says
about hated wild that you know he gets the silver medal,
most people would just dine out on that and the
first thing he wants to do is thank his teammate
and make sure he's acknowledged.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Classy, classy Jesus gesture from a wonderful man.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
I can't hear you what.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Thanks for listening to the Best Show Moments podcast. This
week's very Best from Coast's Tony Street, Jace Reeves and
Sam Wallis.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
We missed it away weekly. Sorry anyway.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
The Olympics have a garner and the opening ceremony was
his underwhelming as a two day old craisant, but there's
nothing like an amputation to spice up the games. Australian
hockey star Matt Dawson discussing lobbing off his finger is
casually is making a decision at the supermarket.
Speaker 16 (24:00):
I had made the decision and then I called my
wife and she just said, oh, I don't want.
Speaker 9 (24:04):
You to make a rash decision.
Speaker 16 (24:07):
But I had all the information that I needed to,
I guess make the decision.
Speaker 9 (24:10):
For not only playing in Paris, but for.
Speaker 16 (24:13):
Life after and giving myself the best health.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
Literally, the conversation I had with about getting chocolate Barret.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
And it looked like where the kiwis rom from the
Olympic downtraw before the ladies. The Black Ferns shot us
onto the medal table.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Go black to black gold medal again. And it took
a world record to stop Hayden Wild going goals.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
It is heartbreaking to Hayden Wild.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
But Alex shesed to win gold in the men's triathlon
in Olympic record time.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
That's right, and that was the growing last night.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
But I wrote this yesterday, so we won't go into that.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
In the political world, trumps on the min as.
Speaker 15 (25:00):
I think you can see I've recovered well and in fact.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
It just took off the.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Last bandage off of my ear, yes, revealing no wound
at all.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Anyone smell her at once.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
What about the fact that he's also decided Kamala Harris
is actually not black.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
She's decided.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
And there's also him ending democracy and how desperate he
is for the Christian vote.
Speaker 4 (25:26):

love you Christians. I'm a Christian.
Speaker 4 (25:38):

mean to fix it.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Anyway?
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Back on the headline of the week, Vgan cafe starts
serving meat to make ends meat.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Auckland's kind cafe are mostly plant based.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
Eatery is now having to start serving meat on its menu.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
But at least the owner has done some research.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
But we've consulted with the vegans and vegetarians and and said,
you know, what kind of meat is good and what
kind of does not?
Speaker 4 (26:05):
The vegans about meat, I.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Don't know if you want to expert this poor there's
chicken than this veal, which is baby cow, a particular
favorite of mine, being an expert on meat.

Welcome to Tony Jason Sam's best show Moments podcast, the
very best of Coasts Feel Good Breakfast this week.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Thanks from the sojourn around Europe, including through France.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Yeah, I don't want to talk about Venice at this
point because I made.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
A purchase in Venice.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
It was a clock and a place called Mrano, which
is famous internationally for its glass making, its glass blow.
When we went and saw a demonstration of them blowing
beautiful glass and there was a man there that is,
you know, twenty generations of glass blower and made stuff
from the pope.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
What did you buy?
Speaker 6 (00:33):
Because I've got a few thoughts on what if you
got to choose a glass object, what you might ask
for based on previous trips around New Zealand glass blowing.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Well, I blew a penis once when I was.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
On Again Tell People what You're Really Breakfast.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Television, and I've got a fear bit of trouble for it,
but it was very funny.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
I remember that time. We were also in Wanganui and
you wanted them to make you again and they refused.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
You kept asking to pay them cash and kept up
in the off and they're like, no, we're not going
to do that.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I bought a clock in Morano, and when I bought it,
I talked them down. Boy, I did a great job
of negotiating the price. I got it down to turn
ninety euros.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
It is a multi colored clock.
Speaker 6 (01:18):
Okay, everyone thinks they got a deal of Morando.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
And then I wore it.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
And then I walked out of Morano and I walked
down just to a normal shop on the side of
the road, and that same clock was one hundred euros.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Chief, And I bet you, I bet she took you
out to a secret room out in the back too.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Let's have a conversation and the secret room out back here.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
So anyway, it got more complicated that because when I
purchased the clock, I bought it under the proviso that
they would send it back to Auckland's safe and sound.
But I apparently after I paid for it, they said
you have to spend a thousand euros in order to
get that free shipping.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Because it's made of glass, right, curious, Yeah, So what I.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
What they did is they packaged it up and then
it had twenty six more days of travels in my
bag and I have it right here in the studio
but unopened, and I don't know if it's made it
or not.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
And there's there were some punches all over the cobbles.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
You've had your suitcases.
Speaker 7 (02:10):
And at how intricate this thing is, how fragile this.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Is basically I'll show you in just a second, but
it's a it's a sun, and every little soul of
flare on the sun all the way around the outside
is a very fragile piece of glass with a pendulum
that swings off the bottom.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Talk us through why you chose a flaming sun.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Clock because I couldn't afford the glasses that I wanted.
They were a thousand euros three shipping. I would have,
but I wanted the picture with the beautiful glasses. You know,
imagine drinking gin from a glass from a runa for
the rest of your day.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
But now you can look every time you look at
the time. Assuming it's not broken.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I'm going to open it right now.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Broken a lot, I reckon, I reckon, it's okay, I reckon,
it's stone glass.
Speaker 8 (02:51):
I think they know how to pack things. Yeah, it's
not broken. No, please, no, look at that is intact,
its complete. But where's the pendulum that swings off, the
off off.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
It's not going to work. It's now a platter.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
The is complete, but the swings at the bottom. It's
going to be in here.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
Good news, and it's there.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
I think that's another thousand.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
A fact it separately is that broken? So it's removable pendulum.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
Oh we're good everyone. I reckon that will look really
nice in the kids room.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Do you not like it?
Speaker 9 (03:38):
No?
Speaker 5 (03:38):
I think it's really pretty.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Do you not put it in the lounge?
Speaker 10 (03:41):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (03:46):
You put it in your lounge, my lounge.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Be honest, be honest.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
You've got you've got like JP planes, You've got big
up JEP planes up on your wall.
Speaker 7 (03:56):
Put that right next to it.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
It's really pretty. And you look at that clock, you'll
think of your trip, which is.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Awesome, beautiful, and losing euro to the wrong place.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
But you can't put a price on that. Is that happiness?
That's happiness.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Hey, we need to talk about this drama, this family
tree drama. So I read this article. It's an Australian
story 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
(04:31):
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, particularly since he died. I was waiting to
we 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
(04:54):
and she said, oh, so my father's actually let's say
John Smith. She said yes, but you're allowed to track
your down, but do you want to And she said, yeah,
I actually do. 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 the sperm donor.
As luck would have it, he was a lovely man
and he was really welcoming. He'd gone on to have
(05:15):
three children of his own, so he started meeting.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Her for coffee.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
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
you didn't know about, so all good.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
So another seven or.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
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 child.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Right, I'm looking forward to this, but I know it.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Just keeps going.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
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
(06:15):
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 owner distributor of the sperm and he has been
intiminating all of the people that go to his clinic himself.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
So he is now the father to dozens of children
and has been putting down fake sperm donors.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
So now she's at the point where this.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
Creeper 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 5 (06:54):
It's like, ar, no, he did something so unjust how.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Many families has he ruined or how many families has created?
Speaker 7 (07:01):
Let's look on the positive.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
No, no, no, but this is Porman like not your dad, No, okay,
so then it's there now your dad three dads in.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
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 how she feels. But it
did I sort of beg the question, have you uncomvered
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 5 (07:26):
How did you uncover it?
Speaker 7 (07:28):
We'd love to know your family bombshells, no names.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
You don't want to is tell us the story Oh
eight hundred double O four coast or fiause it takes
to two six.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Ninety nine family tree bombshells.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
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.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Himself and here on the clinic and was just impregnating
everyone with a sperm.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
It's shocking, isn't it, But it is actually more common
than you think, these types of revelations.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
And what was the revelation in your family.
Speaker 11 (08:03):
Oh, Bonny, 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 him. We've never told me or my sister
when it was. Anyway, we've punished to found in marriage
to forget, and in doing so we found out that
(08:25):
my dad 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 other book, you know.
We we did a bit more dig in and I
(08:49):
found out that I had I had a brother because
but it was my oldest brother's play. I found out
that they were married after he was born, which was strange.
And then the found out that my dad had been
married before and 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
(09:12):
first wife, 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. It was.
It was quite a big thing during the in the
in the in the war days, you know, like the
(09:32):
parties and fifties, sixties.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Yeah, to tell you as well.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
Yeah, how's how's Neil?
Speaker 11 (09:40):
Well, I don't know. I never went any further than that.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
You told you about the different bullets he was firing
at the war. I get it. That's that's who more lcky, Hello,
what happened with you?
Speaker 10 (09:50):
I did my DNA on one of those DNA websites anyway,
I am I. You know, you get these cousin 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,
(10:11):
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 ankle.
And it turns out he was a half brother to
my dad, which means that my grandfather wasn't my grandfather.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Wow, Wow, you were you?
Speaker 8 (10:32):
Were you?
Speaker 6 (10:32):
Did you feel agreed? Were you were you a bit
grumpy that people lied to you? Or were you okay
with it?
Speaker 10 (10:37):
Well knowing 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 far as brought out over there,
which is one of the reasons why I didn't mind
texting in because it's not going to upset anybody in
me telling you anyway. But basically, yeah, my dad was
(11:03):
always 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 couldn't really stay very much, but yeah, So it
turns out my grandmother had a bit of a fling.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
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 3 (11:44):
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 ruined their families.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Is so common.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
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 9 (12:01):
What.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
It's more common than you think.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Your weekly feel good breakfast best show Moments podcast, The
Very Best of Coasts, Tony Street, Jace Reeves and Sam
Waller's travel Disasters.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
It's happened to the best of us.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I mean one of the first things that comes to mind,
Street is your trip to Canada where everyone was both ends.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Yeah, both my dad and I were hospitalized as and
he his feint which we all thought was a heart attack,
grinded a plane to.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
A halt take off.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Not not the funnest time for my mum's sixtieth birthday.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, now it might have been a coincidence, but there
was a point in Dubai where a man breathed menthol
in my face at a market and to explain how
refreshing it was. And then the next day I woke
up with double pinki. Now I could have just been
a dirty pillow and a double conjunctivitis. Who but either way,
I started my European holiday with weepy eyes and good
for the gram Nah, it didn't look great at all.
(12:56):
But there was a few other instances along the way.
We got a little bit of COVID, a double case
of COVID. My parents came down with it, and then
my sister got it. It was a mild case. So they
recovered quite nicely.
Speaker 6 (13:06):
Yeah, so there's no hospitalization, it's no having to go
to the bathroom in the middle of snow.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
So that's what we wanted to talk about today is
the those these horrible disasters went on holiday. Jason, have
you ever had a holiday disaster?
Speaker 7 (13:21):
Yeah? I have, actually a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Actually, I was saying before the woman who kicked the
kicked a tone out off on a rock and Thailand.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
That was my wife, Louise the rock.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
And came up with you we're going to talk to
little medical center in the middle of it was lost
tone now though it was just hanging on to thester
lots of ID and it looked horrific anyway.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
But then were in Bali. We we were saying.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
It wasn't you got a squirreay that what's wrong with you?
Speaker 7 (13:51):
No?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
You know what, There's this massive downboard during the night
and there was a little sipping pulled outside our villa
and that started rising up and flooding, and we didn't
realize until our lamp and our room started flicking on
and off and what had happened. Our attire floor started flooding,
and it started tripping the lamp, so we couldn't walk
in the water because obviously clear it was electric in
their electricity in as well. Had to make a quick
(14:16):
phone call and they had to come out, and it
was so flooded.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
They had these people here.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
They cut the power to the room and they had
sticks and they're banging the sticks in the water because
next to us was a rice field and the thingking
that snakes might be in the water. We had to
grab our bags, carry our bags and walk through the
flooded resort upstairs get out of the flooded water, and
they had to indy out our pool and everything else.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
It was first time in human history that playing the
flora's lava became a.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
Skill that training paid off. So what happened to your
travel disaster?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
O W eight hundred double O four coast out phone
and we'd love to hear the story or flick the
text to two six nine nine.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Our family was gold medal winners and travel disasters. Recently
on our trip away, we had a double case of COVID,
a double case of conjunctivitis and they were in both
of my eyes.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
I lost a chart.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I forgot to bring a charger for my computer, had
to buy a new one two hundred and fifty euros
to replace its hours away.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
And we missed the train.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Had to get the whole family of eleven people tickets
to replace those train tickets, and that was a small
fortune as well.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Did you miss the flight as well? Was it just
the train?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Just the train that could have been worse you? Well,
then still that it's pretty bad. Athur What happened to you
with your travel disaster?
Speaker 12 (15:22):
Well, well, right, a pretty minor after all yours. And
I thought I might like to join Sam's family. Yeah,
maybe not now, but look, I don't know how many
times in New Zealand I've been wanting to get into
christ Church twice now circled being delayed for two hours
out of Auckland depart fly down, then they say, oh
fog and christ Church, we're going to circle. The first
(15:44):
time was an hour and a half we circled over
Nelson and then they said no, we're coming back. As
we came back to Walkland. That was the whole day lost.
And then two and a half weeks later the same
thing happened. Then going to win v Cargo, No, why
would you go to Vicago it's a beautiful place given
the christ Church. And then the league in the cargo's
canceled because the need and the airport's closed and there's
(16:07):
no alternate airport.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Yeah, of course, after I'm starting to think it's you.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
Something happened yesterday too.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
A plane load left from Ortand to go to Raratona
and they tried to land twice and Raratona couldn't do it,
so they.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
Flew all the way back to Awkword.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
What was the weather?
Speaker 7 (16:21):
Bet? Yeah, cross ones, that's terrifying.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Return to home things weird, doesn't I agree that?
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Well?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
How many times do you try and land run out
of fuel twice?
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Apparently?
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Do you know that?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Historically when in New Zealand was called Teal and they
took seaplanes up to Pacific islands, they could just land
anywhere because they had seaplanes ased.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
So maybe seaplane's the seaplanes. What happened on you on
your travels?
Speaker 11 (16:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (16:46):
Yeah, moment was just a toilet thing, so I wasn't
anything major.
Speaker 11 (16:50):
But I was in.
Speaker 13 (16:52):
Craft and I was catching a train to Berlin, the
main station there, and I was busting to go to
the toilet. I shouldn't been twenty minutes hunting around the
entire station looking for this toilet. It wasn't well signposted,
and the language barrier obviously was there, but I eventually
found it. It was on the outside of the station and
(17:13):
I got there and then there was this little woman
there with a hand now wanting money to let me
get into the toilet. And by this time I was bucking,
I was doing the jitterbug, and I was squirming and
everything she could see I was desperate, so she just
let me in for free.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
So honestly, not being a fighter toilet when you've got
to go is one of the world's worst feelings, isn't it.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Any where in the world have their feeling. It's all for
one more quickly, Hello Helen.
Speaker 14 (17:40):
Good morning team, How are we really good?
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Thank you?
Speaker 6 (17:42):
What a so.
Speaker 14 (17:44):
I was on my honeymoon. I was only nineteen years
old and first time abroad over in Greece because I
was living in the UK. And I saw this speedboat
pulling you know, do'nut bringing behind it. I thought he
looked so much fun, and I thought I heard was laughed.
I thought, oh, we must do that. And I was
lighter than I am now and so went on this
so that ring, and I was lighter that I am now,
(18:05):
I said, and it became a white knuckle ride because
I kept summer sorting off backwards. And then my life
jacket was too big for me. So as my life
jacket popped up over my head, my bikini bottoms came
down in that lovely clear blue water.
Speaker 10 (18:19):
Lovely gentlemen tried to come to help me, and I
was like, no, no, away from.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
The worship of your life. But all the other teruristlie
that was great. This was woman.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
Actually, Helen, I'm going to make you feel better by
reading this text. To finish. I was in Egypt and
you not to drink the water. However, I had a
salad with my steak. I was crooked for two days
and sitting on the toilet stark is in my room,
leagues up against the wall, arms resting on knees, feeling
really sad for myself, and three cleaness walked in and
saw me in all my glory.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
You were waking up feeling so good, tired, but so
good because Hayden Wild won silver in the triathlon on
Paris last night.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
Meal up scared totally. He's on the phone right now.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Oh my god, that was the best race we've ever watched.
We just loved it so much. Congratulations, thanks so much,
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (19:10):
Just suffered in the heat.
Speaker 15 (19:12):
Obviously wasn't really prepared to be racing at ten o'clock
like we were.
Speaker 9 (19:17):
We were obviously no admitted to race it race at eight,
so I stuffered a bit of the heat.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Oh my gosh, can you just run us through it?
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Because it was just so compelling from the very beginning.
Let'st start with the swim. When you finished the swim,
what was going through your mind at that point?
Speaker 9 (19:34):
I was actually like it.
Speaker 15 (19:36):
I was pretty satisfied, and I was like, like, when
I go on to transition, like fifty seconds back, so
not too bad. I know.
Speaker 9 (19:42):
It's some pretty talented athletes around me.
Speaker 15 (19:45):
Yeah, I have to pretty much a massive thanks to
told Dylan McCulloch.
Speaker 9 (19:51):
It was he sacrifices race to come back and help me.
I was doing a lot of work on the front and.
Speaker 15 (19:56):
I feel like if it wasn't for him, I would
have definitely a middle chance, a lot harder.
Speaker 9 (20:03):
Definitely. One of the biggest.
Speaker 15 (20:06):
Highlights was still dropping back, and I'll definitely remember that
one for the for the rest of my life.
Speaker 9 (20:10):
I think so. Yeah, berkudos to Dylan.
Speaker 15 (20:13):
It was just it was just so selfless for him
to come back and and support me and get me
into the right position to.
Speaker 9 (20:20):
Deliver for New Zealand.
Speaker 15 (20:21):
And yeah, we got on the run and I've felt
extremely good. I actually raced Alex a few months ago,
and you know, when I got up to me, he
did the same thing where he slowed up a little
bit and that gave him the opportunity to recover in
the last race.
Speaker 9 (20:36):
So this time I was like, right, this is my
time and my chance to really make him hurt.
Speaker 15 (20:41):
And it was the first time and the time of
work race that I've I've been able to go through
and drop to drop him. And I was feeling really good.
And then about two k to Goo that the heat
started getting to me. And yeah, it was a lot
hotter than expected. He's probably more humidity than it was
(21:02):
in the Tokyo Olympics.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
So the body was just.
Speaker 15 (21:06):
Really struggling to cool down and it was just starting
to get into emergency mode and was doing all I
possibly can to get the finish line, but just just
ran out of gas.
Speaker 9 (21:15):
And yeah, second second it was, but yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
What a race Honestly, you've just made us all so proud,
and you've made so many keywis tied at work today
because we just couldn't.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Go to bed, Like there was just no way.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
You know, that final turn, I think you hit about
two hundred meters to go and you could feel alex
Ye breathing down your neck. Did you try and think,
can these legs just move any faster? Or did you
know at that point that there was just no way,
Like you say you were in the emergency zone.
Speaker 9 (21:45):
Yeah, like I didn't.
Speaker 15 (21:46):
I didn't look at bath once and that last a case,
so I don't know where he was.
Speaker 9 (21:50):
And yeah, he just went past like I was walking.
Speaker 15 (21:53):
I just I was just so depleted with everything. Like
I did the perfect fuel strategy and did everything to
possibly get to the end of the race, but I
was just so I was just so hot and I
just could not recover.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
We saw that. But absolutely so proud of you.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Thank you so much, Hayden. And just a little bit
of extra info for everyone one. Hayden has said he
is absolutely going to compete in LA and apparently his
partner's fire, but he said he has to go and
get the gold. He's gone bronze silver gold. Secondly, we
get their joy of watching him again in the mixed
relay events on Monday. So that is a three hundred
(22:32):
meter swim, six point eight k cycle and a two
k run and it goes female male female male in
that succession.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
So sure a distance computers so we could be in
the hut for that.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
This is so good because now he's conditioned to those
conditions if I want.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
He used to say for twice, do you know what
I mean?
Speaker 2 (22:47):
He knows now the heat, he knows the humans that
he knows what he has to do now.
Speaker 6 (22:49):
And don't forget Dylan McCulloch before he went back and
helped Hayden Wilde was actually a head of Hayden. Yes,
right right, so he's good too as well.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
I'm saying, wonderful tea mate.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Yeah, I wouldn't think like that.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
I'd just be I'd be looking at the finish line.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
But also said Jason's stories, just binet.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
Jase would definitely come back. And also what it says
about hated wild that you know he gets the silver medal,
most people would just dine out on that and the
first thing he wants to do is thank his teammate
and make sure he's acknowledged.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Classy, classy Jesus gesture from a wonderful man.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
I can't hear you what.
Speaker 1 (23:30):

Speaker 3 (23:46):
The Olympics have a garner and the opening ceremony was
his underwhelming as a two day old craisant, but there's
nothing like an amputation to spice up the games. Australian
hockey star Matt Dawson discussing lobbing off his finger is
casually is making a decision at the supermarket.
Speaker 16 (24:00):
I had made the decision and then I called my
wife and she just said, oh, I don't want.
Speaker 9 (24:04):
You to make a rash decision.
Speaker 16 (24:07):
But I had all the information that I needed to,
I guess make the decision.
Speaker 9 (24:10):
For not only playing in Paris, but for.
Speaker 16 (24:13):
Life after and giving myself the best health.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
Literally, the conversation I had with about getting chocolate Barret.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
And it looked like where the kiwis rom from the
Olympic downtraw before the ladies. The Black Ferns shot us
onto the medal table.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Go black to black gold medal again. And it took
a world record to stop Hayden Wild going goals.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
It is heartbreaking to Hayden Wild.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
But Alex shesed to win gold in the men's triathlon
in Olympic record time.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
That's right, and that was the growing last night.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
But I wrote this yesterday, so we won't go into that.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
In the political world, trumps on the min as.
Speaker 15 (25:00):
I think you can see I've recovered well and in fact.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
It just took off the.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Last bandage off of my ear, yes, revealing no wound
at all.
Speaker 4 (25:11):

Speaker 6 (25:13):
What about the fact that he's also decided Kamala Harris
is actually not black.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
She's decided.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
And there's also him ending democracy and how desperate he
is for the Christian vote.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Christians, get out and vote just this time.

You know what, It'll be fixed. It'll be fine. I
love you Christians. I'm a Christian.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
The love you give me that vote.
Speaker 7 (25:39):

mean to fix it.
Speaker 4 (25:44):

serving meat to make ends meat.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Auckland's kind cafe are mostly plant based.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
Eatery is now having to start serving meat on its menu.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
But at least the owner has done some research.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
But we've consulted with the vegans and vegetarians and and said,
you know, what kind of meat is good and what
kind of does not?
Speaker 4 (26:05):
The vegans about meat, I.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Don't know if you want to expert this poor there's
chicken than this veal, which is baby cow, a particular
favorite of mine, being an expert on meat.
