Speaker 1 (00:00):
Coast Breakfast brought to you by Bargain Chemist their policy
New Zealand's cheapest chemist.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Tony Jason Sam's feel Good Breakfast Cant Shut podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Today on the show, we talked about our next charity
drive for the Cancer Society and we really want to
go big and the suggestions were well, they were interesting.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
And the social media event of the year is it
poor or is it Rayga?
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Also what's been of the movie or the book? We
debate each case as we go. So the day after,
of course, we're celebrating the Mammoth Eden Park when we
have now got fifty games undefeated at in Park.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Hell a record it is.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
I think the next best undefeated record is I think
England at twicken Them on twenty two.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I was just pleased to see the wind be honest
for the last week and in such terrible conditions. Good
on you if you went to the All Blacks game.
I had some friends that went and they were seeing
me pictures. It was a soggy old day, wasn't it was.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
We did the same thing with the neighbors of ours.
We're going to do you want to come on now,
I'll watch this one from home.
Speaker 6 (01:07):
Things with now sending these pictures back.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
But even the All Blacks afterwards to thanking the crowd
because they got a treat, they got to see this.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Oh they want to finish it in style. Here the
All Blacks referee has to get out of the way now,
Jordy Barrett goes looking for space down the middle, snatched
away nicely by the up to it under touch.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
Fifty without for the All Blacks.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Fifty without defeat, doesn't said the next best record at
home book Graham, I think is England and then murray
Field in Scotland. The All Blacks, Yeah, nineteen undefeat of
the film money.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
That we've got one of the one of the records
for their own. It would be like the Wallabies having
the record at Eden Park.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
Yeah, that's right, it happened.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I know, hell of a team, but I just I
don't want to wash anything bad over this. But did
you see the halftime score compared to the full time score? Yes,
I'm saying is they weren't as convincing in the second half.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, but they were up by so much and when
you can take into account the conditions. Do you know what,
I'm just going to say this because I reckon these
others that felt the same. I felt like that was
the longest All Blacks game in history. And in the
second half I was getting a bit over it. I
was like, can they just call it now? Like it actually, honestly,
it just got to the point where it.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Was too much scrummaging for you.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Oh no, we were up by so much and it
was so filthy the weather and I don't know, it
just felt like it dragged the second time we.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
Tried to end it. Then the referees on and I
will come back and restart the game. But eighty minutes
is that? What are we doing again? And nothing changed?
Speaker 7 (02:31):
No.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I do think that ref did quite a good job.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
He did of the game. The Italian gentlemen, oh.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I wondered if there is italiental friendship.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
It's sort of telling, yeah, did you see that? Well, yeah,
forty ten did you see that group of cool people?
Speaker 8 (02:44):
There?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
There was Jason Marmoa, Joseph Parker, Steve and I was like,
that's that's a crew.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
VN. Butcher was in the changing room getting pictures with
Steven Anim's it is gold medalt.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
So here's the thing I don't off. My dad a
psychic or not.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
But I rang before us, what are you thinking, Danding
is it'd be all next by thirty I was like,
there's no way they'll win by thirty thirty two in
the end.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
To be fair, I'm pretty sure that's what you said.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Too said I think I think I said forty to seven.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Yeah you did, you did, actually, yeah, actually you even
picked the right Huker. I was very impressed and.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
It was one of the best Tarkers I've ever seen.
The passion they had and that I could tell that
that lost prior, you.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Know, yeah, but slow there wasn't it was.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
It was being strategic.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
They're saving themselves because now we've got two on the
road against South Africa. So how we're going to go
against the Springboks in their own backyard who rested the
A team over the weekend, so they're sitting there waiting
for us.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Also, I know last week we were a bit like
Damien McKinsey, the right person to have it first far.
So those little chip kicks with the flat line of
d magic and I think you got to thank Scott
Robertson for that. That was completely fantastic.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
That's how they got in behind the line and honors kicking.
What about his goalkicking down the middle.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
And the terrible weather good.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Too good out We're down for a second. A few
snow drifts across the country today with a man Sam.
Very cold across North Island and the South Islands.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah, it's down to sea level down south. There's rare,
you know. Just see a sea level creep up halfway
up the South Island. In terms of our weather maps,
it's probably twice a year.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Can I mind you? We only have two weeks left
of winter two.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
You were about a month away from the Saturday Night Saving two.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, first to September, bring us upon us.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
It feels like I haven't even had a winter.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Oh whatever in Europe. You actually mentioned Europe for a while, surprised.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Hey, so this this sort of weather is perfect like
movie watching weatherway and at the moment you might notice serious,
big movies on in the cinemas at the moment. So
you've got Dead Paul for big, Ryan Reynolds massive Marvel movie,
and then Blake Lively he's got her movie out as
well with us.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
And I tell you what if you are a forty
something female more even if you're younger than that, and betiful.
You will not have a friend that isn't mentioning the
fact that they want to see this. Like all of
my group chats, oh when are we going to this?
And I'm dying to get there. And then the next
chat is have you read the book or are you
just going to go see the movie first?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Interesting because after seven we're talking about it. What's better
the movie or the.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Book, which we are with our paper plus book review today.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
You have you read the book?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
No, I actually haven't. And the author of It Ends
with Us is Colleen Hoover, and Colleen Hoover is very
much the author for women of my age. I've read
a couple of books verity which was it was actually
quite dark, oh okay, And apparently this latest one, it
Ends with Us, has got domestic violence themes in it,
(05:36):
but you wouldn't know that, Jason from the press tour
so far. Now they're talking about it, and that is
why poor old Blake Lively is getting heavily criticized. So
that's the big thing on the internet at the moment.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Also the big news that Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively
that both of these movies out. Now it's a very
happy household of their house right now because they've woken
up this morning. Both of them have got the box
office so Deadpool and then it ends with us straight
to the top one two in the box office right now.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
But it's getting the shine of that's getting taken away
because the big talking point is the fact that they're
not talking about, apparently because I haven't seen it, but
the theme of domestic violence. And then they're piling on
and saying none of the priests so far has mentioned
the fact that it's got this gritty theme. And to
be fair, I wouldn't have even known it had domestic
violence either, because everything I've seen out there has been
has been Blake and these floral dresses and all these
(06:23):
multiple premiers.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yes, it's not It's a hard sell on a film,
isn't it.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
You know what I mean? I guess it's a big
part of the story though.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Well, yes, basically the guy falls part of the story
goes if the guy falls in love with her, then
becomes besotted with her, then becomes quite abusive both.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Emotionally and physically, gets obsessed kind of, I believe.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
So yeah, And it's a fine line, isn't it, Because
you don't want to give everything away until people have
seen the movie.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
You'd assume people have read the book. I said, I
don't know. It's a tough one.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
But then we talked about the soft air and you
gave quite a good example and said once we're warriors.
Did we have those discussions before we saw the movie
or was that afterwards?
Speaker 6 (06:57):
I think it was it was.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
I've seen to remember some of those confronting trailers. It's
the fight scene especially.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
But I suspect that's happening with Blake too. But then,
what did we expect Tim, Timawheel and Morrison and Rena
Owen to talk about before everyone has seen it. I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yeah, again, same thing was based on a book, so maybe.
But then I just feel there's a bit of a
beatdown on Blake Lively at the moment. There's an old
interview doing the rounds too, where she's been asked about
the clothes she's wearing and she goes, I wonder if
you're going to ask the men about the clothes day wear,
and this poor woman's like, she maybe.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Want to quit my job. She made me feel terrible
in the interview.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
To be fair, I think that's a weird thing for
Blake Lively to say, because she is all about clothes
and talks about.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
It years ago before Gossip Girls. Yeah, way way back.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
It might have touched though, way like Ryan Reynolds, it
doesn't matter what that guy touches, doesn't even matter if
it's a football team on the other side of the
world and the support that he's never been exposed to.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
They just go up and up the premiership. Well is
it the premiership?
Speaker 8 (07:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
He's working his way elevated to the next level, you believe.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
A pretty powerful couple.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Yeah, he's got his gin, he's got her little alcohol
pop drinks as well.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Also got her bestie Taylor Swift.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
That's right, god brother to their children. So Ryan Reynolds
and Blake Lively have made history. Is the first married
couple to top the US box office in thirty four years?
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Who was it?
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Who was it? I know, let's go way there. Wait
now thirty four years? Was that nineteen ninety?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Think about another married couple who both had movies out
in nineteen ninety and they topped the box office.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say anything, but can
I shall I give you a little clue.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
It's okay, okay, I.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Just want you to think of one of them. So
a woman was short here, That's that's what I'll of you.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
You who wasn't center text?
Speaker 8 (08:38):
The two?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Six ninety nine, So Ryan Reynolds and Blake Blake Lively
had made history over the weekend. Is the first married
couple to top the US box office in thirty four years?
Who was the most previous married couple to do that?
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Shannon? Who do you reckon? It was Nicole Kenman, Tom
Crowse That's a great guess.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
That's a good guess because remember they were in the
movie together eyes Wide shut, and then they went these
separate ways and did that's a different blockbuster movie?
Speaker 6 (09:06):
In another movie?
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Days of Thunder or something, that movie that car racing?
Who was the NASCAR driver to Yeah? Good, yes, Shanna,
But no, not those two, know Veronica?
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Who do you reckon?
Speaker 9 (09:14):
It was Bruce Willis and anymore you've now there?
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Wells had die Hard out at the time, Ghost Out?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah? Beautiful, absolute classic movies, right, and I love them too.
It makes me want to watch them. We always watched
My Heart at Christmas, don't we.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I don't know why A Christmas movie and just when
you hear this, doesn't it show the importance of a
great soundtrack, you know, like Ghosts, like Dirty Dancing, didn't
they just the best soundtracks of all time?
Speaker 5 (09:47):
And Bodyguard there's another great example.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
I reckon though the the soundtrack for Deadpool is phenomenal
as well. If you've got n Sync making it way
back on the chat because of the movie Madonna has given.
For the first time ever, Madonna has said okay to
one of her songs used in a movie because Ryan
Reynolds went to her house and said, I've got this idea,
showed her a rough cut of the film and.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Said this is where we would use it.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
She goes, okay, but I think we changed the picture
a little bit, so she changed her songs specifically for
that movie.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I don't know about you, but I just I don't
know if a Madonna song is going to take off
the same way unchained Melody with the Righteous Brothers.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Didn't you go?
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Maybe not any So if you're looking at two movies
to go and see what becomes, it ends with us.
It ends with us and did Paul and Wolverine looks
like some good ones. There's a woman called Rachel Gunn.
We call her Raygun. That's what she goes under her
break dancing name. She went to the Olympics and she
busted at her moves and got a zero, so that
I'll try against you three times, three times, three guys
of this it's called a zero every time, and people
(10:40):
were going, is it for real? Have we all been
a giant prank around the world? And then she became
this viral sensation everyone it was like keep giving life
every day. Everyone was talking about Raygun, this Raygun, that well,
Raygun whoself spoke out over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I worked my butt off preparing for the Olympics, and
I gave my all. I didn't realize that that would
also open the door just so much hate, which has
frankly been pretty devastating. Okay, Can I just say though,
you know, it's like when we watched, you know, the
old school days when American Idol first came out, and
(11:16):
the people that auditioned.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Who ther whole life.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
They've whorked their whole life too, and they audition and
everyone can tell they're bad except them and their parents.
And I don't know, as a PhD student in breaking
did she not look at the other competitors and go,
I think they're better than me, Like, wh where was
that realization? She just wasn't there.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
She kind of took it to quirkytown, though, didn't she.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
She kind of tried to break the mold of breakdancing
and else was doing that.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
No, no, no, and it wasn't received well.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
It's like being a ballerina and throwing in some break
dancing in a ballet routine, risky Olympics.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
She wasn't a break dancing routine and throw in some kangaroos.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Removes the She's like sliding around the floor base wiping
the floor of the hat. At one stage, it was
a lot to take in. And again, if you google
raygun break does and you'll see what the world's been
talking about. Because the world has been talking about this
every day. There are new memes, there's new music will
put behind it that people take the music outains have
the squeaking of the shoes, and the.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Thing is, whatever you thought, even if you were one
of these people that are Australian and thought what a
waste of taxpayer money we could have sent her an
athlete that potentially had a chance of getting a medal.
You can't argue now that it's it's pretty funny now
and it's become a bit of a cultural movement, right
it has.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Yeah, yeah, you think about some of the other big
things that have made Internet history though, like some of
the big moments on the industry Internet over the years.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Cash went back to COVID.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Right when our Minister of response for that was Chriss Hipkins,
and he went up and he said this, Okay, it
is a challenge in higher density areas for people to
get outside and to spread their legs.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Went everywhere I do, but still Ray Gun beats Chris Hipkins.
Who else could be? Do you know someone who I think?
Does I think SI with GM styles? Remember when Sid
that was twenty twelve came out with Ganam style and
that absolutely swept the globe. And that was a bit
the say it's a bit of a spoofy soul and
you're riding.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
That's still can't ride that pony very hard?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
That dance move, I mean, the obvious one at the
moment is a global phenomenon as the hawk tool girl,
isn't she for a kind of a lurid comment and
has taken over the Internet.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
And she's also gone into hiding like Radar.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
No, she didn't. She she's come out.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
She's got a page, and she's embracing and she's she says,
you're a really nice girls.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Are real proud for that infamy.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I know, I don't think they'd be proud of the infamy,
but I think I think if you look at the
way she's behaving now and you kind of see that
it was it's not really based on her behavior, but
just more as saying and she's actually quite a good person.
We know she's a good person just because I've been following,
just looking at her page, just because when someone like
this happens.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It's quite you do devel it deeper a.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Phenomenon, and you go, this person has out of nowhere,
been plucked out of obscurity and has been forced onto
the global stage.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
She threw an opening picture at a baseball game the
other day.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
She's like famous, I kind of agree with you. That
came from her drunken night out saying something pretty gross,
whereas ray Guns was not like that. Ray Guns was
I'm planning to do this at the Olympics. She knew
what was the.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Hawk tur girl is Actually she's front fwarding it and
she's actually she's doing a lot of stuff for charity,
and she's been really positive about the way she's receiving it.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
I think Raygun needs.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
To take a leaf out of the Hook Tours Girl
book and actually try and embrace it and see the opportunity,
opportunity and kind of embracent for me.
Speaker 7 (14:32):
Right.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
The problem she has, Raygun has, I think is that
there are people that don't want to see you make
money out of this because they're like, you've already taken
our textpayer money and made a bit of a joke
of what is the Olympic Games. So she's got that
side as well to continue with, and it would be
hard to deal with the hate, Like I hate the
fact that people are messaging her like Gida.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
Grass messaging we've got a text on two six nine
nine right now?
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Actually what might be Reagan Nick minute, right.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Guy, absolutely begive.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Coasts Feel Good Breakfast catch up podcast with Tony Street,
Jays Reeves and Sam Wallace.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
There are ninety paper plus stores across the country too,
and if you want to shop online, they've got over
three hundred thousand products, including the new book. Tony's reviewing
for the book club The Mess We Made by Megan O'Neil.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, The Mess We Made Meghan O'Neill, and Meghan is
a Keiwi author and this is her debut book and
I loved it. What I love so much about this
book as how it reminds you of books that you
used to read, or perhaps me as a female att
of you guys read books like this.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Yeah, it's sweet, very high Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
So kind of around young love and now in my forties,
I found it really nostalgic remembering my high school days
of dating and crushes, and they were the kind of
books that I gravitated towards as a teenager. But now
it's sort of written for a forty year old but
with all the same vibe. Okay, that makes sense. Cool. Yeah,
So it explores the way our lives can go and
(15:59):
completely different directions based on a single event, and how
people can often have slightly different recollections of what actually happened.
So essentially, what happens. You've got these two teenagers, same hometown,
they were each other's soul mates, and then something happens
and it forces one of them to leave and go away,
and then they come back like twenty years later and
(16:22):
then I don't want to give too much away, but
it's about whether they can reconnect as even as friends.
Do they talk about the event that made them, you know,
not speak essentially for all that time? And do they
still And that's why I've written it that way, do
they actually are they on the same pages to what
actually happened? Because you know how sometimes when a negative
event can happen just in normal life and people get
(16:44):
their wires crossed. Oh and if you don't address it
at the time, a whole lot of time can pass
and you might even not even remember why you stopped
talking in the first place. And actually it was probably
a simple fix if you just discussed it.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
So many feuds are like that.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
I think people hold grudgeous for all these years and
then you ask them what's that the root of this?
Speaker 5 (17:02):
And they're like, they actually can't tell you.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Yeah, And what does that tell you? Is that was
that worth not speaking to.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Exactly one thing? You thought it was? That case? I'm sorry, Yeah,
I get it.
Speaker 10 (17:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
So the main characters who are the childhood sweethearts are
Quinn Henry. One night shatters everything. They're inseparable before that
There's also the dynamic of a sibling relationship that sort
of plays into it too, So like the sibling is
the friend, if that makes sense. They go in these
separate ways. Henry returns stirs up old feelings. Plus will
this secret that has been kept for all this time
(17:35):
be revealed? I love the book because it's kind of
got a hopeful feel to it. And we know this
from Coast Breakfast. Often when we talk about relationships, you know,
we hear about someone in their fifties or sixties rekindling
a relationship that they had at high school and they
cannot believe it took them all this time to get
back with that person.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
That more often than we show, I really do giving
their first love a second chance.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
So I have written here if you're someone that kind
of believes in the magic of love, or you believe
in soulmates, you will love this book.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
If you taxt book to two six ninety nine to
get in the story copy of it as well.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
It's called The Mess We Made.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
But also when you think about this because of the
movie about this too, and there are other books made
into movies and movies made in the books and things.
What's better though the book or the movie. What's examples
of each? Like I say before that Forest Gump the
book not as nice. Forest is not a nice guy
in the book movie phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
And when you see someone right in the flesh, like visually,
they can soften a character or they can actually go
the other way. And that's what book readers will often
get grumpy at. Oh that's not how I imagined the leading lady.
You've made her too angry or you haven't made her
hard enough.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
But isn't it more simple than that?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Isn't a book It kind of plays more into your imagination,
so you can craft the characters and the feel and
the look of the book in your own mind.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
So you're always going to be disappointed there.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
So the movie always takes it out of your mind
and you can paint a different story.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
I was like that with a Kiwi one and this
is I'm going to I might have to hear my passport.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
And when I say this because it's a movie that
I didn't like because I'd read the books and things,
I see more about that shortly. But what about you?
What's bit of the book or the movie and what's
the example you've got.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Oh eight hundred double oh four coast. We'll flick that
dext to two six nine nine. The big movie out
at the moment is it ends with Us with Blake
Lively in it. And apparently if you love that, you're
going to love this book called The Mess We Made,
which is the book that Tony's reviewing for Paper Plus
this week.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, me, you and O'Neill is the Key We author,
and we're actually going to speak to her tomorrow as well.
It's a really cool book about young love and soulmates
them getting back together. And I thought it was really
timely with the fact that it ends with Us as
such a hot movie at the moment, and this has
got those vibes.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
And that's the game this morning, isn't it? Comparing the
book to the movie, which one is winning?
Speaker 6 (19:38):
So I used to love watching or reading.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Dad had all the Four of Flats cartoons and the
comic books at home when I was a kid, so
to flick through those and I'd make up the voices
in my head. And then the movie came out.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Remember A Dog's Tale?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yes, surely the movie was killed in the comic.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
No, I didn't think it was, because now dog had
a voice, and cat and the cat horse had a voice.
And I was like, and whal had a voice? And
I was like, oh no, that's not what I imagined.
And for me, the movie wasn't as was what I
was imagined.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
In the book, just like I had their voices much
squeakier than what they had in the movie. That's right, Michelle.
What about you? What about you? Do you have a
book versus movie dilemma?
Speaker 7 (20:11):
Yes, the Harry Potter first movie. I read the books,
all the books and with my daughter, and when we
went to the movies that exceeded my expectations that It's
so sure, it was fantastic. You can't imagine all the
things that are in the in the movie in your
own head. I mean the second time, second movie, yes, probably.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
But not the first that. Yeah, it just was incredible.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I thought, I love that you that you were wowed
by the first movie. And do you know what, I
think those Harry Potter movies are very very special, as
are the books. So I'm glad we've you've mentioned that
because I agree. I love the Harry Potter movies.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Yeah, Tracy, what about your book of the movie which
was better.
Speaker 11 (20:51):
The books?
Speaker 6 (20:52):
Which ones?
Speaker 11 (20:54):
The Jack reads your books?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Ah, disappointed by Tom Cruise?
Speaker 9 (20:58):
Were we Tom Cruise does not make Jack Riach?
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Is it because he's too short? Because I remember there
being a Ferrari around that at the time.
Speaker 9 (21:07):
Yes, and Jack Riacher was six two, built like a
brick out house, and it was he was the new reach.
Speaker 7 (21:17):
Is so much better than.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
I was going to say, Alan Richardson, isn't it awesome?
Speaker 9 (21:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Mentionine being Tom Cruise though you're in this movie, right,
And then Ran goes, he's too short and he's not
built enough.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
He brought that franchise to.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
The author. He always pictured himself really famous author.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
I can't remember.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
I can't really guy's name who wrote the Jack Reacher series.
I interviewed him and I said, what are you feeling?
Speaker 6 (21:44):
As well? What going to do?
Speaker 4 (21:45):
He bought the rights, so yeah, you're right there. He
was very diplomatic about it, but you could tell he
didn't want Tom Cruise.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
There is Grant is the author, isn't It might.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Have been No, I don't know if it was Alan.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Richard Sorry it's interrupted sixty three, So.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Yes, Ian, what about you? The book of the movie
are there? I?
Speaker 11 (22:06):
Oh, yeah, yeah, okay. By ten.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
Good morning, Good.
Speaker 11 (22:10):
I'm on the commute between Tierra and t Row. So, yeah,
it's a while ago. But I read the book Day
of the Jackal, which is the assassination attempt on Charles
de Gare, and then I saw the saw the movie
the book, the tension, the build up, and the book
was just superb. The last sort of forty or fifty pages,
(22:30):
you go, know, you held your breath wondering how this
was going to turn out. The movie was brilliant, but
the book was brilliant.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Okay, So are you talking about the movie that came
out in nineteen seventy three or are you talking about
the remake was what's his name? Redman? The Eddie Redman?
Speaker 11 (22:50):
No, No, the first one. So yeah, well but yeah,
I read the book probably in the nineteen eighties and
the movie sometime after that.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Okay, Ian, you're going to have to now because you're
such a fan, you're going to have to watch the
new movie that is just being released, Like read just
lately with Eadie Redmain so he's been You're going to
have to ring us back and you're going to tell
us how the new film stacks up.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
As well, you know, in terms of detail. I want
to add to that as well.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
American Sniper the book, he really talks you through each assassination,
each shot.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
You know, really movie didn't do that as well?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
You can't in the movie. And do you know what
a lot of a lot of authors actually say that.
They're like, I don't blame the movie because how long
does it take you to read a book? A lot
more than just three hours, which is what a movie
from years three, three and sixty five.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
I love our close family of listeners. A lot of
ticks have run through. Lee Child wrote, Jack reads books.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Lee Child wrote, so the author I Seid is the
actual author, and he went under the name Lee Charles, Oh.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
Yeah you go.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
And if you have the ticks coming through as well,
saying yeah, the book was okay, but Shawshank Redemption the
movie so much better.
Speaker 12 (23:58):
In eighteen sixty six, Andy Dufrain escaped from Shashang prison.
All they found of him was a mud set of
prison clothes, a borrow soap, and an old rock hammer
damn near worn down to the Nerve Water movie.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
We're just wondering now why Jim Grant, who was the author,
went under the pen name Lee Child. Do you not
think Jim. Jim Grant was cool enough.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
He didn't think Tom cruise whit.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
He didn't want to get the blame as no one liked.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
If you've got to hit a chance, say you take
a panet all or something like that. Right, if you've
got the stuffles, you might take an anty histamine. But
what about looking at the whole picture that what's even
causing there? We're talking holistic health and we've got an
expect on the phone, Robin Wilson to join us to
talk about this.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Robin, what is holistic health?
Speaker 8 (24:40):
It's about looking at the whole person. So rather than
often with health and well being, we can focus just
on looking a physical aspect, but we need to look
at the whole person in the whole big picture.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
And they all intertwined together.
Speaker 8 (24:54):
So not just one thing with complete experience, but let's
take a whole big picture.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
Look.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
I love this so much as someone that's been through
an autoimmune disease and it took a holistic approach from
a specialist to actually be able to diagnose me. I
think when you've been down that road, you understand that
it's not as straightforward as one thing, one stop shop.
So we've got a few things that we want to
talk to you about, Robin, potential issues that people might
(25:19):
have and what you could recommend to help that. So
let's talk about gut health. Gut health is a big
buzzword at the moment. What are the signs that we
might need to improve our gut health?
Speaker 8 (25:30):
First of all, so I think there's the common ones
that we expect where we might have or tummy bloating gas,
all those sorts of things going on, which is easy
to identify. But then there's the other things that we
don't necessarily think about and that could be getting stick
all the time. So our immune system might not be
too good. You know, we get every cold that's going around.
We might also be not getting so good mood wise,
(25:53):
so mental health could be showing up. There's a really
big connection between gutting brain types saying maybe showing up
in our skin. You know, I get little warning signs
myself X ray bits that clear up so numerous different ways,
not just what you necessarily think of.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
What if you've got an issue with digestion, give us
some practical examples of what we could pictures.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
So really good go to would be a probiotic I
always like to think though, you know, we can't supplement
ourselves out of a bad diet. So you know, it
takes me back to the holistic. We go at this
with all sorts. I'm like, you ended up with an
autoimmune disease, but went down a path appealing myself naturally,
and it was a really good gut product. Was our
(26:35):
gloatmine in it. That was the savior for me.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Great.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
So it's the holistic thing, isn't it's the whole person.
I love that.
Speaker 8 (26:41):
Now.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
The three of us we work some ridiculous hours, obviously,
so we get pretty tired by the end of the week.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
Robin, what's something to help us sleep better?
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Yeah, sleep's real, biggie.
Speaker 8 (26:49):
And once again I take it from all ways, but
magnesium can be a really good thing to help you
sleep better. And once again, some good combos out there
with some other things in it as well, some herbs
which are eptogens that can work in synergy with the
magnesium and help you to sleep. So it's about having
some good routines, all sorts of other things. Some good
(27:10):
teas out there, sleepy teas too, which can make a real.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
Difference, really nice.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
My main thing is recovery.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
I do a lot of training and what I get
is really sore muscle. So what can you kind of
suggest solistically to help me kind of recover from my
training to keep me on track.
Speaker 8 (27:27):
So you're doing a lot of training, I'm geeseing making
short restuff too that you're really well hydrated, yeah, straightaway
and especially winter, so you know that's pretty free and easy,
isn't it to increase the water. But also thinking you're
working long hours potentially a bit stressed out, so your
body and then you're stressing it more is exercise is
(27:48):
needing some more nutrients. So a really good ratio with calcium,
magnesium and vitamin D can be really good in the
right quantities working together, so you've got that muscle contracting
as well as relaxing. But also stuff like gluecossamine, turmeric,
kitkumen which is a product in turmeric, all of those
can help with your muscle recovery, as well as looking
(28:09):
at your B vitamins.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
So quite arranged.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Glucosm is an interesting one because that's kind of one
that's popped up more recently.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
What is it is?
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Glucosamine? How does it help?
Speaker 8 (28:17):
So it's going to help with your joints, and it's
going to help with those your castlet and that sort
of thing, So they aren't necessarily just working on one
system that's actually looking across your body.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
And healthy is with a whole bunch of products to
help you live life in the green as well. We're
going to tell you how to get some and win
some in just a couple of minutes from now on coast.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Jason is leaving the dad the dad because you know
he likes a good dad joke, and he's pretty dependable

last week.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
What did he lose eight hour bucks in the.
Speaker 1 (30:53):

from people when we say you wait till you're all
the radio. It's harder, and you.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
This is the year where we need to make it
big because the cost of living crisis has hit and
often people the first thing people do is they take
away their donations because they are struggling themselves. So we
have to make this something that people are really gonna
want to give their money to. It's something really cool
and we want you to help us come up with
an idea. What do you think Sam, Jason and I
(35:11):
what are our particular set of skills? Now some people
have already suggested Sam does an only fans page, but
we want to keep it clean.
Speaker 5 (35:19):
We can give it clean.
Speaker 10 (35:21):
That's a idea.
Speaker 5 (35:22):
What are we thinking on that only fans page.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Well, you give quite a lot away on your normal page.
So what are we hiding that you haven't already.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Exposed everyone for that?
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Everyone am I was thinking of silver abyss.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
So what is it when you think about asking about
our skills that combined skills, what would do you equal
make a little bit of a difference to help raise
some funds for DEFINITELD next Friday one hundred double o
form coast I figure texts idea to two six ninety
nine Definite Days coming. So we want to do all
(36:09):
we can to raise some serious coins to try and
help OUTWRES. Cancer does affect one and three key weison
now and we know that A and Z has been
behind Definite Day for thirty four years.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
We've thought let's jump one in two.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Yeah, and we want to think big. We don't want
to do this is just oh we'll just do this.
We want it to be something that's big, that uses
our resource, uses our context, uses our specific set of
skills which we do not know what they are.
Speaker 6 (36:31):
Helen, what do you suggest?
Speaker 9 (36:33):
Oh, hey, look guys, I'm literally outside the hospital now
about to go into my second as certain of chemos
and trying not to cry. Well, it's just a mazing
and I cannot thank you enough. You don't help me,
you help off them, You help everybody.
Speaker 8 (36:46):
So thank you.
Speaker 9 (36:46):
It doesn't matter if you've only done it's fifty cent.
Speaker 11 (36:48):
Every cent count.
Speaker 9 (36:50):
But what I would love you guys to do is
a video fear factor. Oh no, because everybody will love that.
It will make everybody laugh. And you know, even if
you can just afford ten cents, you know people will
pay to see that.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
And you're twist talking like eating life bugs, putting yourself
in a coffin, that kind of vibe, aren't you know?
Speaker 9 (37:11):
I think I think eating. I think everything else is
a bit too much. You know, I hate being in
a coffin, but eating especially for you know.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Yeah, donuts, the calories come on it, bug.
Speaker 6 (37:29):
That's a good idea, Helen. Thank you for down Angela.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Hello are either Angela Andrea? No? I thought you couldn't
given we have actually had quite a few ticks come through,
so someone has said bring back the telethon with the
old school telephone.
Speaker 6 (37:51):
Thank you very much for your very much.
Speaker 5 (37:56):
The telephone.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
I remember it's turning up to the TV studios with
my sister and sitting there and you get included on
tvally there.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
Yeah, families are watching it at home. Don't make it
for of the family again, I made a career doing that.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
You do well, remember the racecourse and Hastings the helicopter
Fluent It was a telephone helicopter. We'll ran out with
our buckets and we made donations. We got on TV
and Hastings.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
See, that's what we need to create a bit of
a stir with an event. Someone has head and I
don't know how I feel about this. You three could
get your bodies painted nude as daffodils. But daffodils don't
have lumps and bumps, do they? But generally pretty long
and lean. I just just don't know how that would do.
Speaker 5 (38:39):
Little stem.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Maybe not one.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Another one has seid each of you paint daffodils and
auction them off. I don't know if art is our strengths.
Another person who says, why don't you have some form
of sports game that's more in our realm?
Speaker 5 (38:57):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (38:57):
Yeah, yeah, your realm.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
You guys are sport as well. Didn't you used to be?
Did you just tell us you were basically almost an
NBA start?
Speaker 5 (39:05):
I was, yeah, a.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Different lifetime ago, and then you know my potential was
limited by you know, only being six foot, so you're
going to issues.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
On the problem is the problem is if we hit
a sports game, we'd need a team, and we'd need
to have people better than us on the team to
make people actually want to want it to happen.
Speaker 6 (39:24):
Right, Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Last time I played in the sports team it was
for the Master's games and my best friend Cook Penny
didn't even put me on the court.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
I don't even think Penny would want to play with
you now, So.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
It's not great when you're talking about skills are here's
and other here? What about to do a deal with
some restaurants and an option of dinner with each of you individually?
So there's a few, doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Someone said, raffle and dinner off with us as well?
Would you want to have dinner with us?
Speaker 5 (39:49):
Someone said a PT session with Sam Antonio.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Think you made their text.
Speaker 5 (39:53):
To you.
Speaker 6 (39:56):
On the text doesn't even give.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
We're about to chat with a guy who broke his
neck or going for swimming in grease. Fast forward to now,
though he's won a gold medal and his new docco
debuted on TV last night. The incredible Gi Waite has
made a doco called wheel Blacks Bodies on the Line Joy.
Speaker 6 (40:15):
How old did this take to make?
Speaker 14 (40:16):
This was a probably two year you know to put
together from start of like just planning and filming, getting
everyone on side.
Speaker 10 (40:23):
I just saw a meeting with the places, getting.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
All the ducks in a Yeah, what was your vision
for it? What was the sort of motivation for me?
Speaker 14 (40:30):
Look, I played the sport and for me it was
like one of those things that just changed my life
because you know, I'd had like a massive accident and
sort of ended up where I thought I really couldn't
do much. You know, I was going to be like
in a cheer, what's my life? And then I've seen
these guys on playing the Paralympics in Sydney, and here's
a bunch of guys that had it going on, you know,
like that fit fast. You know, they look good, they
(40:50):
had wives, they had girlfriends, jobs, and so for me,
the motivation for this was to get that sport back
out and in front of people again, so you.
Speaker 10 (40:57):
Know there might be someone else that it might inspire.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
Yeah, I mean god, it must have been a massive
part of you recouping from your injury, because just four
years later after your accident, you went on to win
a gold medal.
Speaker 5 (41:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (41:09):
Yeah, that's a quick turn, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (41:11):
Well, yeah, it is, it is.
Speaker 14 (41:13):
I think when I first started playing, I sort of
just dipped my toes and then after a while it's like, actually,
you know, that would be kind of cool, is to
kind of complete a circle. And not only that, is
like I had my accident in Greece as well, so
the fact that it was back in Athens was kind
of like a double edged There was that kind of
moment of like there must.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
Have been a lot to take in, right, I mean,
the next time you give it to Grease, your whole
world has changed.
Speaker 6 (41:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (41:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (41:37):
Look, I remember after my accident, probably the moment I
realized that things were going to be different. As I
was in this ambulance going through Athens and I was
looking out the window and there's these lights going past
them like flesh flesh and like these palm trees. It's nighttime,
and I'm kind of going I just really love to
sit up and like look out the window and see
what was going on, and I couldn't. And that was
kind of like that moment of like this is me now,
(41:59):
like I'm going to be relying on yeah, you know.
And then four years later it was afterward won the gold.
The bus we were on going back to the village
went a different way and it was on the same motorway.
Really look out the window and there's the same palm
trees and now I've got a gold metal hel my
neck and I'm going man like it is.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
I want to talk to you about what you have
gained from sport, because we talk a lot about how
wonderful sport is for kids for so many reasons for
life lessons. But when you start playing a sport after
you've had an accident, like you say, where you think,
what is my life going to be anymore? What has
it given you?
Speaker 14 (42:33):
Definitely confidence and belief and ability I can do things
like And that was probably one of the biggest things
that I gained from the sport. Was not only did
I gain a community of people that you know, I
could just chat to about life and help what they've
been through, but just the experience they bring, because you know,
I remember my first camp, I went away. I had
all this rehabilitation equipment just to live and I got
(42:54):
picked up at the airport and he's like, you're not
using that, like and he showed me how to get
in the car and put my chair in. And then
from there that opened up so much, like from there
I could like drive myself, I could get a job,
I could you know.
Speaker 10 (43:05):
And yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
Your journey to empower people was quite inspiring because I've
noticed also you've you've set up your own production company,
Sweet Productions. You've made documentaries for Netflix, and you have
also made this dock communitary Whelblack's Bodies on the Line.
That must be another circle of completion in terms of
sharing that inspiration.
Speaker 14 (43:21):
Again, Sport was the catalyst to that because after Ethan's
we got back and got a letter in the post
from and it still exists today.
Speaker 10 (43:29):
Is a Prime Minister scholarship.
Speaker 14 (43:30):
So you've got a letter from Helen Clark and congrats
on the middle go study whatever you want and wow.
Speaker 5 (43:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (43:36):
So before that, i'd been at Union being at Waikato,
done economics and politics and that sort of sense. So
I'd worked in a bit in finance and then I
didn't really want to go back to that, and I'd
always been kind of like a storyteller, so I just
kind of like sunk my teeth into documentary editing, and
it was a job I could do.
Speaker 10 (43:51):
Because I'm behind a desk, I can.
Speaker 14 (43:52):
Tell other people's stories, which I really love, you know,
like I love sort of bringing that to the screen.
Speaker 6 (43:57):
No, well, you've got an incredible story yourself when you
know that.
Speaker 4 (43:59):
But the story even of the Wheelblacks now their journey
to get where they are right now, you need to
see this. So it's called Wheelblacks Bodies on the Line.
It's on Sky Open and Neon has it a started yesterday,
but you can see it there three episodes and I'll
tell you what it's inspiring on so many levels.
Speaker 1 (44:14):
I need to talk about the split Spring cleaned because
it is nearly that time of year, and when I
put this particular video up on Instagram, a lot of
people said they were doing the exact same thing over
the weekend, and it could have been the fact that
it was quite wet. So you know, when it's a
wet weekend, you're trying to turn to your house and
you go, oh, this place is giving me bob gbs,
isn't it. And there's one particular draw at hour it's
(44:36):
actually two draws at our house. That just it just
makes me shake my head every day I open it.
And that is our two art draws. So we have
these art draws and in it it has the kids
coloring books, pencils, felts. They all have no bloody lids on.
There's some ribbons for wrapping. It's got their stickers that
are just strewn everywhere, half done coloring inns. Then throw
(45:00):
some paint in there, some brushes, and then there's like
the scissors and the sellotape. That's just it just makes me.
If that drawer is not tidy, our life is out
of control. It's like a flow on from the art draw.
Speaker 3 (45:12):
See my drawer that is the topple Weir drawer. When
that's out of show that ye And.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
That's actually really hard to like do you put the
lids all together? Do you put the containers all together?
Are you putting them intact?
Speaker 5 (45:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (45:22):
We go containers on one side, lids on the other side,
and you've got to separate and they never met. Have
you seen sus steams come out with colored lids that
match your containers?
Speaker 1 (45:31):
Oh? Good, yez, that is that is a very good idea.
Why should they all be blue anyway? So we decided
for the forty fifth time this year that we would
clean out the art draw on the weekend because it
was giving us both anxiety. And at one point Matt
started and so he got out of a rubbish sack
and he just started having stuff and and normally yeah,
(45:53):
and also then the kids go, not that half drawn dinosaur.
I love that, it's my favorite. No, it's not. You haven't.
You haven't color it for about six months. So you
can sit back down and watch cartoons while we do this.
And then I looked over and my husband had the
longest pair of tongs we own, and he was knelt
down by the bottom art drawer and he had his
(46:13):
arms stretched right and behind the drawer. And that's when
it reminded me. Everything falls back behind the drawers.
Speaker 6 (46:19):
You can't get to it.
Speaker 1 (46:19):
Why is there not an invention that stops that from happening.
All of this stuff piles up and then it goes
over the top of the lip of the drawer, and
then you can't even shut the drawer again.
Speaker 4 (46:28):
Then you can't get your arm because you hit your
armpet and.
Speaker 5 (46:31):
The drawer out.
Speaker 1 (46:32):
Well, that's how we started getting trolled on because of
course I had to film my husband doing this and
put it on the interior. So I got it up
on the gram and then everyone was saying, why does
he not just take the drawer off? And I said
that to him and he goes, well, you'd think it'd
be as simple as that, but a lot of new
kitchens the drawer does not come out, and if you wanted,
you've got to get a screwdriver, and it's like a
(46:52):
big process. So he decided it was easier to wedge
his arm through the gap with tongs and tongue out
individual pieces of coloring in Wow. I just thought i'd
tell you that because we're here to help. If you've
got a new kitchen, whether jels don't come out, you
too need to cleanse your life in your art drawer
otherwise you will not operate.
Speaker 3 (47:12):
Otherwise you look like you're trying to inseminate a cow
when you're in kitchen.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
Oh, he definitely did, and I don't even think he
got all the stuff, So you know.

Tony Jason Sam's feel Good Breakfast Cant Shut podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Today on the show, we talked about our next charity
drive for the Cancer Society and we really want to
go big and the suggestions were well, they were interesting.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
And the social media event of the year is it
poor or is it Rayga?
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Also what's been of the movie or the book? We
debate each case as we go. So the day after,
of course, we're celebrating the Mammoth Eden Park when we
have now got fifty games undefeated at in Park.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Hell a record it is.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
I think the next best undefeated record is I think
England at twicken Them on twenty two.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I was just pleased to see the wind be honest
for the last week and in such terrible conditions. Good
on you if you went to the All Blacks game.
I had some friends that went and they were seeing
me pictures. It was a soggy old day, wasn't it was.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
We did the same thing with the neighbors of ours.
We're going to do you want to come on now,
I'll watch this one from home.
Speaker 6 (01:07):
Things with now sending these pictures back.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
But even the All Blacks afterwards to thanking the crowd
because they got a treat, they got to see this.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Oh they want to finish it in style. Here the
All Blacks referee has to get out of the way now,
Jordy Barrett goes looking for space down the middle, snatched
away nicely by the up to it under touch.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
Fifty without for the All Blacks.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Fifty without defeat, doesn't said the next best record at
home book Graham, I think is England and then murray
Field in Scotland. The All Blacks, Yeah, nineteen undefeat of
the film money.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
That we've got one of the one of the records
for their own. It would be like the Wallabies having
the record at Eden Park.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
Yeah, that's right, it happened.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I know, hell of a team, but I just I
don't want to wash anything bad over this. But did
you see the halftime score compared to the full time score? Yes,
I'm saying is they weren't as convincing in the second half.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, but they were up by so much and when
you can take into account the conditions. Do you know what,
I'm just going to say this because I reckon these
others that felt the same. I felt like that was
the longest All Blacks game in history. And in the
second half I was getting a bit over it. I
was like, can they just call it now? Like it actually, honestly,
it just got to the point where it.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Was too much scrummaging for you.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Oh no, we were up by so much and it
was so filthy the weather and I don't know, it
just felt like it dragged the second time we.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
Tried to end it. Then the referees on and I
will come back and restart the game. But eighty minutes
is that? What are we doing again? And nothing changed?
Speaker 7 (02:31):
No.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I do think that ref did quite a good job.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
He did of the game. The Italian gentlemen, oh.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I wondered if there is italiental friendship.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
It's sort of telling, yeah, did you see that? Well, yeah,
forty ten did you see that group of cool people?
Speaker 8 (02:44):
There?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
There was Jason Marmoa, Joseph Parker, Steve and I was like,
that's that's a crew.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
VN. Butcher was in the changing room getting pictures with
Steven Anim's it is gold medalt.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
So here's the thing I don't off. My dad a
psychic or not.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
But I rang before us, what are you thinking, Danding
is it'd be all next by thirty I was like,
there's no way they'll win by thirty thirty two in
the end.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
To be fair, I'm pretty sure that's what you said.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Too said I think I think I said forty to seven.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Yeah you did, you did, actually, yeah, actually you even
picked the right Huker. I was very impressed and.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
It was one of the best Tarkers I've ever seen.
The passion they had and that I could tell that
that lost prior, you.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Know, yeah, but slow there wasn't it was.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
It was being strategic.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
They're saving themselves because now we've got two on the
road against South Africa. So how we're going to go
against the Springboks in their own backyard who rested the
A team over the weekend, so they're sitting there waiting
for us.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Also, I know last week we were a bit like
Damien McKinsey, the right person to have it first far.
So those little chip kicks with the flat line of
d magic and I think you got to thank Scott
Robertson for that. That was completely fantastic.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
That's how they got in behind the line and honors kicking.
What about his goalkicking down the middle.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
And the terrible weather good.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Too good out We're down for a second. A few
snow drifts across the country today with a man Sam.
Very cold across North Island and the South Islands.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah, it's down to sea level down south. There's rare,
you know. Just see a sea level creep up halfway
up the South Island. In terms of our weather maps,
it's probably twice a year.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Can I mind you? We only have two weeks left
of winter two.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
You were about a month away from the Saturday Night Saving two.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, first to September, bring us upon us.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
It feels like I haven't even had a winter.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Oh whatever in Europe. You actually mentioned Europe for a while, surprised.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Hey, so this this sort of weather is perfect like
movie watching weatherway and at the moment you might notice serious,
big movies on in the cinemas at the moment. So
you've got Dead Paul for big, Ryan Reynolds massive Marvel movie,
and then Blake Lively he's got her movie out as
well with us.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
And I tell you what if you are a forty
something female more even if you're younger than that, and betiful.
You will not have a friend that isn't mentioning the
fact that they want to see this. Like all of
my group chats, oh when are we going to this?
And I'm dying to get there. And then the next
chat is have you read the book or are you
just going to go see the movie first?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Interesting because after seven we're talking about it. What's better
the movie or the.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Book, which we are with our paper plus book review today.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
You have you read the book?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
No, I actually haven't. And the author of It Ends
with Us is Colleen Hoover, and Colleen Hoover is very
much the author for women of my age. I've read
a couple of books verity which was it was actually
quite dark, oh okay, And apparently this latest one, it
Ends with Us, has got domestic violence themes in it,
(05:36):
but you wouldn't know that, Jason from the press tour
so far. Now they're talking about it, and that is
why poor old Blake Lively is getting heavily criticized. So
that's the big thing on the internet at the moment.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Also the big news that Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively
that both of these movies out. Now it's a very
happy household of their house right now because they've woken
up this morning. Both of them have got the box
office so Deadpool and then it ends with us straight
to the top one two in the box office right now.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
But it's getting the shine of that's getting taken away
because the big talking point is the fact that they're
not talking about, apparently because I haven't seen it, but
the theme of domestic violence. And then they're piling on
and saying none of the priests so far has mentioned
the fact that it's got this gritty theme. And to
be fair, I wouldn't have even known it had domestic
violence either, because everything I've seen out there has been
has been Blake and these floral dresses and all these
(06:23):
multiple premiers.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yes, it's not It's a hard sell on a film,
isn't it.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
You know what I mean? I guess it's a big
part of the story though.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Well, yes, basically the guy falls part of the story
goes if the guy falls in love with her, then
becomes besotted with her, then becomes quite abusive both.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Emotionally and physically, gets obsessed kind of, I believe.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
So yeah, And it's a fine line, isn't it, Because
you don't want to give everything away until people have
seen the movie.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
You'd assume people have read the book. I said, I
don't know. It's a tough one.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
But then we talked about the soft air and you
gave quite a good example and said once we're warriors.
Did we have those discussions before we saw the movie
or was that afterwards?
Speaker 6 (06:57):
I think it was it was.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
I've seen to remember some of those confronting trailers. It's
the fight scene especially.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
But I suspect that's happening with Blake too. But then,
what did we expect Tim, Timawheel and Morrison and Rena
Owen to talk about before everyone has seen it. I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yeah, again, same thing was based on a book, so maybe.
But then I just feel there's a bit of a
beatdown on Blake Lively at the moment. There's an old
interview doing the rounds too, where she's been asked about
the clothes she's wearing and she goes, I wonder if
you're going to ask the men about the clothes day wear,
and this poor woman's like, she maybe.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Want to quit my job. She made me feel terrible
in the interview.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
To be fair, I think that's a weird thing for
Blake Lively to say, because she is all about clothes
and talks about.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
It years ago before Gossip Girls. Yeah, way way back.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
It might have touched though, way like Ryan Reynolds, it
doesn't matter what that guy touches, doesn't even matter if
it's a football team on the other side of the
world and the support that he's never been exposed to.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
They just go up and up the premiership. Well is
it the premiership?
Speaker 8 (07:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
He's working his way elevated to the next level, you believe.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
A pretty powerful couple.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Yeah, he's got his gin, he's got her little alcohol
pop drinks as well.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Also got her bestie Taylor Swift.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
That's right, god brother to their children. So Ryan Reynolds
and Blake Lively have made history. Is the first married
couple to top the US box office in thirty four years?
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Who was it?
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Who was it? I know, let's go way there. Wait
now thirty four years? Was that nineteen ninety?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Think about another married couple who both had movies out
in nineteen ninety and they topped the box office.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say anything, but can
I shall I give you a little clue.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
It's okay, okay, I.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Just want you to think of one of them. So
a woman was short here, That's that's what I'll of you.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
You who wasn't center text?
Speaker 8 (08:38):
The two?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Six ninety nine, So Ryan Reynolds and Blake Blake Lively
had made history over the weekend. Is the first married
couple to top the US box office in thirty four years?
Who was the most previous married couple to do that?
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Shannon? Who do you reckon? It was Nicole Kenman, Tom
Crowse That's a great guess.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
That's a good guess because remember they were in the
movie together eyes Wide shut, and then they went these
separate ways and did that's a different blockbuster movie?
Speaker 6 (09:06):
In another movie?
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Days of Thunder or something, that movie that car racing?
Who was the NASCAR driver to Yeah? Good, yes, Shanna,
But no, not those two, know Veronica?
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Who do you reckon?
Speaker 9 (09:14):
It was Bruce Willis and anymore you've now there?
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Wells had die Hard out at the time, Ghost Out?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah? Beautiful, absolute classic movies, right, and I love them too.
It makes me want to watch them. We always watched
My Heart at Christmas, don't we.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I don't know why A Christmas movie and just when
you hear this, doesn't it show the importance of a
great soundtrack, you know, like Ghosts, like Dirty Dancing, didn't
they just the best soundtracks of all time?
Speaker 5 (09:47):
And Bodyguard there's another great example.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
I reckon though the the soundtrack for Deadpool is phenomenal
as well. If you've got n Sync making it way
back on the chat because of the movie Madonna has given.
For the first time ever, Madonna has said okay to
one of her songs used in a movie because Ryan
Reynolds went to her house and said, I've got this idea,
showed her a rough cut of the film and.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Said this is where we would use it.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
She goes, okay, but I think we changed the picture
a little bit, so she changed her songs specifically for
that movie.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I don't know about you, but I just I don't
know if a Madonna song is going to take off
the same way unchained Melody with the Righteous Brothers.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Didn't you go?
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Maybe not any So if you're looking at two movies
to go and see what becomes, it ends with us.
It ends with us and did Paul and Wolverine looks
like some good ones. There's a woman called Rachel Gunn.
We call her Raygun. That's what she goes under her
break dancing name. She went to the Olympics and she
busted at her moves and got a zero, so that
I'll try against you three times, three times, three guys
of this it's called a zero every time, and people
(10:40):
were going, is it for real? Have we all been
a giant prank around the world? And then she became
this viral sensation everyone it was like keep giving life
every day. Everyone was talking about Raygun, this Raygun, that well,
Raygun whoself spoke out over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I worked my butt off preparing for the Olympics, and
I gave my all. I didn't realize that that would
also open the door just so much hate, which has
frankly been pretty devastating. Okay, Can I just say though,
you know, it's like when we watched, you know, the
old school days when American Idol first came out, and
(11:16):
the people that auditioned.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Who ther whole life.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
They've whorked their whole life too, and they audition and
everyone can tell they're bad except them and their parents.
And I don't know, as a PhD student in breaking
did she not look at the other competitors and go,
I think they're better than me, Like, wh where was
that realization? She just wasn't there.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
She kind of took it to quirkytown, though, didn't she.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
She kind of tried to break the mold of breakdancing
and else was doing that.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
No, no, no, and it wasn't received well.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
It's like being a ballerina and throwing in some break
dancing in a ballet routine, risky Olympics.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
She wasn't a break dancing routine and throw in some kangaroos.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Removes the She's like sliding around the floor base wiping
the floor of the hat. At one stage, it was
a lot to take in. And again, if you google
raygun break does and you'll see what the world's been
talking about. Because the world has been talking about this
every day. There are new memes, there's new music will
put behind it that people take the music outains have
the squeaking of the shoes, and the.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Thing is, whatever you thought, even if you were one
of these people that are Australian and thought what a
waste of taxpayer money we could have sent her an
athlete that potentially had a chance of getting a medal.
You can't argue now that it's it's pretty funny now
and it's become a bit of a cultural movement, right
it has.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Yeah, yeah, you think about some of the other big
things that have made Internet history though, like some of
the big moments on the industry Internet over the years.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Cash went back to COVID.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Right when our Minister of response for that was Chriss Hipkins,
and he went up and he said this, Okay, it
is a challenge in higher density areas for people to
get outside and to spread their legs.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Went everywhere I do, but still Ray Gun beats Chris Hipkins.
Who else could be? Do you know someone who I think?
Does I think SI with GM styles? Remember when Sid
that was twenty twelve came out with Ganam style and
that absolutely swept the globe. And that was a bit
the say it's a bit of a spoofy soul and
you're riding.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
That's still can't ride that pony very hard?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
That dance move, I mean, the obvious one at the
moment is a global phenomenon as the hawk tool girl,
isn't she for a kind of a lurid comment and
has taken over the Internet.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
And she's also gone into hiding like Radar.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
No, she didn't. She she's come out.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
She's got a page, and she's embracing and she's she says,
you're a really nice girls.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Are real proud for that infamy.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I know, I don't think they'd be proud of the infamy,
but I think I think if you look at the
way she's behaving now and you kind of see that
it was it's not really based on her behavior, but
just more as saying and she's actually quite a good person.
We know she's a good person just because I've been following,
just looking at her page, just because when someone like
this happens.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It's quite you do devel it deeper a.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Phenomenon, and you go, this person has out of nowhere,
been plucked out of obscurity and has been forced onto
the global stage.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
She threw an opening picture at a baseball game the
other day.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
She's like famous, I kind of agree with you. That
came from her drunken night out saying something pretty gross,
whereas ray Guns was not like that. Ray Guns was
I'm planning to do this at the Olympics. She knew
what was the.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Hawk tur girl is Actually she's front fwarding it and
she's actually she's doing a lot of stuff for charity,
and she's been really positive about the way she's receiving it.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
I think Raygun needs.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
To take a leaf out of the Hook Tours Girl
book and actually try and embrace it and see the opportunity,
opportunity and kind of embracent for me.
Speaker 7 (14:32):
Right.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
The problem she has, Raygun has, I think is that
there are people that don't want to see you make
money out of this because they're like, you've already taken
our textpayer money and made a bit of a joke
of what is the Olympic Games. So she's got that
side as well to continue with, and it would be
hard to deal with the hate, Like I hate the
fact that people are messaging her like Gida.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
Grass messaging we've got a text on two six nine
nine right now?
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Actually what might be Reagan Nick minute, right.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Guy, absolutely begive.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Coasts Feel Good Breakfast catch up podcast with Tony Street,
Jays Reeves and Sam Wallace.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
There are ninety paper plus stores across the country too,
and if you want to shop online, they've got over
three hundred thousand products, including the new book. Tony's reviewing
for the book club The Mess We Made by Megan O'Neil.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, The Mess We Made Meghan O'Neill, and Meghan is
a Keiwi author and this is her debut book and
I loved it. What I love so much about this
book as how it reminds you of books that you
used to read, or perhaps me as a female att
of you guys read books like this.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Yeah, it's sweet, very high Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
So kind of around young love and now in my forties,
I found it really nostalgic remembering my high school days
of dating and crushes, and they were the kind of
books that I gravitated towards as a teenager. But now
it's sort of written for a forty year old but
with all the same vibe. Okay, that makes sense. Cool. Yeah,
So it explores the way our lives can go and
(15:59):
completely different directions based on a single event, and how
people can often have slightly different recollections of what actually happened.
So essentially, what happens. You've got these two teenagers, same hometown,
they were each other's soul mates, and then something happens
and it forces one of them to leave and go away,
and then they come back like twenty years later and
(16:22):
then I don't want to give too much away, but
it's about whether they can reconnect as even as friends.
Do they talk about the event that made them, you know,
not speak essentially for all that time? And do they
still And that's why I've written it that way, do
they actually are they on the same pages to what
actually happened? Because you know how sometimes when a negative
event can happen just in normal life and people get
(16:44):
their wires crossed. Oh and if you don't address it
at the time, a whole lot of time can pass
and you might even not even remember why you stopped
talking in the first place. And actually it was probably
a simple fix if you just discussed it.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
So many feuds are like that.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
I think people hold grudgeous for all these years and
then you ask them what's that the root of this?
Speaker 5 (17:02):
And they're like, they actually can't tell you.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Yeah, And what does that tell you? Is that was
that worth not speaking to.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Exactly one thing? You thought it was? That case? I'm sorry, Yeah,
I get it.
Speaker 10 (17:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
So the main characters who are the childhood sweethearts are
Quinn Henry. One night shatters everything. They're inseparable before that
There's also the dynamic of a sibling relationship that sort
of plays into it too, So like the sibling is
the friend, if that makes sense. They go in these
separate ways. Henry returns stirs up old feelings. Plus will
this secret that has been kept for all this time
(17:35):
be revealed? I love the book because it's kind of
got a hopeful feel to it. And we know this
from Coast Breakfast. Often when we talk about relationships, you know,
we hear about someone in their fifties or sixties rekindling
a relationship that they had at high school and they
cannot believe it took them all this time to get
back with that person.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
That more often than we show, I really do giving
their first love a second chance.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
So I have written here if you're someone that kind
of believes in the magic of love, or you believe
in soulmates, you will love this book.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
If you taxt book to two six ninety nine to
get in the story copy of it as well.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
It's called The Mess We Made.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
But also when you think about this because of the
movie about this too, and there are other books made
into movies and movies made in the books and things.
What's better though the book or the movie. What's examples
of each? Like I say before that Forest Gump the
book not as nice. Forest is not a nice guy
in the book movie phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
And when you see someone right in the flesh, like visually,
they can soften a character or they can actually go
the other way. And that's what book readers will often
get grumpy at. Oh that's not how I imagined the leading lady.
You've made her too angry or you haven't made her
hard enough.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
But isn't it more simple than that?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Isn't a book It kind of plays more into your imagination,
so you can craft the characters and the feel and
the look of the book in your own mind.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
So you're always going to be disappointed there.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
So the movie always takes it out of your mind
and you can paint a different story.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
I was like that with a Kiwi one and this
is I'm going to I might have to hear my passport.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
And when I say this because it's a movie that
I didn't like because I'd read the books and things,
I see more about that shortly. But what about you?
What's bit of the book or the movie and what's
the example you've got.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Oh eight hundred double oh four coast. We'll flick that
dext to two six nine nine. The big movie out
at the moment is it ends with Us with Blake
Lively in it. And apparently if you love that, you're
going to love this book called The Mess We Made,
which is the book that Tony's reviewing for Paper Plus
this week.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, me, you and O'Neill is the Key We author,
and we're actually going to speak to her tomorrow as well.
It's a really cool book about young love and soulmates
them getting back together. And I thought it was really
timely with the fact that it ends with Us as
such a hot movie at the moment, and this has
got those vibes.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
And that's the game this morning, isn't it? Comparing the
book to the movie, which one is winning?
Speaker 6 (19:38):
So I used to love watching or reading.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Dad had all the Four of Flats cartoons and the
comic books at home when I was a kid, so
to flick through those and I'd make up the voices
in my head. And then the movie came out.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Remember A Dog's Tale?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yes, surely the movie was killed in the comic.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
No, I didn't think it was, because now dog had
a voice, and cat and the cat horse had a voice.
And I was like, and whal had a voice? And
I was like, oh no, that's not what I imagined.
And for me, the movie wasn't as was what I
was imagined.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
In the book, just like I had their voices much
squeakier than what they had in the movie. That's right, Michelle.
What about you? What about you? Do you have a
book versus movie dilemma?
Speaker 7 (20:11):
Yes, the Harry Potter first movie. I read the books,
all the books and with my daughter, and when we
went to the movies that exceeded my expectations that It's
so sure, it was fantastic. You can't imagine all the
things that are in the in the movie in your
own head. I mean the second time, second movie, yes, probably.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
But not the first that. Yeah, it just was incredible.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I thought, I love that you that you were wowed
by the first movie. And do you know what, I
think those Harry Potter movies are very very special, as
are the books. So I'm glad we've you've mentioned that
because I agree. I love the Harry Potter movies.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Yeah, Tracy, what about your book of the movie which
was better.
Speaker 11 (20:51):
The books?
Speaker 6 (20:52):
Which ones?
Speaker 11 (20:54):
The Jack reads your books?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Ah, disappointed by Tom Cruise?
Speaker 9 (20:58):
Were we Tom Cruise does not make Jack Riach?
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Is it because he's too short? Because I remember there
being a Ferrari around that at the time.
Speaker 9 (21:07):
Yes, and Jack Riacher was six two, built like a
brick out house, and it was he was the new reach.
Speaker 7 (21:17):
Is so much better than.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
I was going to say, Alan Richardson, isn't it awesome?
Speaker 9 (21:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Mentionine being Tom Cruise though you're in this movie, right,
And then Ran goes, he's too short and he's not
built enough.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
He brought that franchise to.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
The author. He always pictured himself really famous author.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
I can't remember.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
I can't really guy's name who wrote the Jack Reacher series.
I interviewed him and I said, what are you feeling?
Speaker 6 (21:44):
As well? What going to do?
Speaker 4 (21:45):
He bought the rights, so yeah, you're right there. He
was very diplomatic about it, but you could tell he
didn't want Tom Cruise.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
There is Grant is the author, isn't It might.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Have been No, I don't know if it was Alan.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Richard Sorry it's interrupted sixty three, So.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Yes, Ian, what about you? The book of the movie
are there? I?
Speaker 11 (22:06):
Oh, yeah, yeah, okay. By ten.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
Good morning, Good.
Speaker 11 (22:10):
I'm on the commute between Tierra and t Row. So, yeah,
it's a while ago. But I read the book Day
of the Jackal, which is the assassination attempt on Charles
de Gare, and then I saw the saw the movie
the book, the tension, the build up, and the book
was just superb. The last sort of forty or fifty pages,
(22:30):
you go, know, you held your breath wondering how this
was going to turn out. The movie was brilliant, but
the book was brilliant.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Okay, So are you talking about the movie that came
out in nineteen seventy three or are you talking about
the remake was what's his name? Redman? The Eddie Redman?
Speaker 11 (22:50):
No, No, the first one. So yeah, well but yeah,
I read the book probably in the nineteen eighties and
the movie sometime after that.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Okay, Ian, you're going to have to now because you're
such a fan, you're going to have to watch the
new movie that is just being released, Like read just
lately with Eadie Redmain so he's been You're going to
have to ring us back and you're going to tell
us how the new film stacks up.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
As well, you know, in terms of detail. I want
to add to that as well.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
American Sniper the book, he really talks you through each assassination,
each shot.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
You know, really movie didn't do that as well?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
You can't in the movie. And do you know what
a lot of a lot of authors actually say that.
They're like, I don't blame the movie because how long
does it take you to read a book? A lot
more than just three hours, which is what a movie
from years three, three and sixty five.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
I love our close family of listeners. A lot of
ticks have run through. Lee Child wrote, Jack reads books.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Lee Child wrote, so the author I Seid is the
actual author, and he went under the name Lee Charles, Oh.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
Yeah you go.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
And if you have the ticks coming through as well,
saying yeah, the book was okay, but Shawshank Redemption the
movie so much better.
Speaker 12 (23:58):
In eighteen sixty six, Andy Dufrain escaped from Shashang prison.
All they found of him was a mud set of
prison clothes, a borrow soap, and an old rock hammer
damn near worn down to the Nerve Water movie.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
We're just wondering now why Jim Grant, who was the author,
went under the pen name Lee Child. Do you not
think Jim. Jim Grant was cool enough.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
He didn't think Tom cruise whit.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
He didn't want to get the blame as no one liked.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
If you've got to hit a chance, say you take
a panet all or something like that. Right, if you've
got the stuffles, you might take an anty histamine. But
what about looking at the whole picture that what's even
causing there? We're talking holistic health and we've got an
expect on the phone, Robin Wilson to join us to
talk about this.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Robin, what is holistic health?
Speaker 8 (24:40):
It's about looking at the whole person. So rather than
often with health and well being, we can focus just
on looking a physical aspect, but we need to look
at the whole person in the whole big picture.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
And they all intertwined together.
Speaker 8 (24:54):
So not just one thing with complete experience, but let's
take a whole big picture.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
Look.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
I love this so much as someone that's been through
an autoimmune disease and it took a holistic approach from
a specialist to actually be able to diagnose me. I
think when you've been down that road, you understand that
it's not as straightforward as one thing, one stop shop.
So we've got a few things that we want to
talk to you about, Robin, potential issues that people might
(25:19):
have and what you could recommend to help that. So
let's talk about gut health. Gut health is a big
buzzword at the moment. What are the signs that we
might need to improve our gut health?
Speaker 8 (25:30):
First of all, so I think there's the common ones
that we expect where we might have or tummy bloating gas,
all those sorts of things going on, which is easy
to identify. But then there's the other things that we
don't necessarily think about and that could be getting stick
all the time. So our immune system might not be
too good. You know, we get every cold that's going around.
We might also be not getting so good mood wise,
(25:53):
so mental health could be showing up. There's a really
big connection between gutting brain types saying maybe showing up
in our skin. You know, I get little warning signs
myself X ray bits that clear up so numerous different ways,
not just what you necessarily think of.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
What if you've got an issue with digestion, give us
some practical examples of what we could pictures.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
So really good go to would be a probiotic I
always like to think though, you know, we can't supplement
ourselves out of a bad diet. So you know, it
takes me back to the holistic. We go at this
with all sorts. I'm like, you ended up with an
autoimmune disease, but went down a path appealing myself naturally,
and it was a really good gut product. Was our
(26:35):
gloatmine in it. That was the savior for me.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Great.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
So it's the holistic thing, isn't it's the whole person.
I love that.
Speaker 8 (26:41):
Now.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
The three of us we work some ridiculous hours, obviously,
so we get pretty tired by the end of the week.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
Robin, what's something to help us sleep better?
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Yeah, sleep's real, biggie.
Speaker 8 (26:49):
And once again I take it from all ways, but
magnesium can be a really good thing to help you
sleep better. And once again, some good combos out there
with some other things in it as well, some herbs
which are eptogens that can work in synergy with the
magnesium and help you to sleep. So it's about having
some good routines, all sorts of other things. Some good
(27:10):
teas out there, sleepy teas too, which can make a real.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
Difference, really nice.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
My main thing is recovery.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
I do a lot of training and what I get
is really sore muscle. So what can you kind of
suggest solistically to help me kind of recover from my
training to keep me on track.
Speaker 8 (27:27):
So you're doing a lot of training, I'm geeseing making
short restuff too that you're really well hydrated, yeah, straightaway
and especially winter, so you know that's pretty free and easy,
isn't it to increase the water. But also thinking you're
working long hours potentially a bit stressed out, so your
body and then you're stressing it more is exercise is
(27:48):
needing some more nutrients. So a really good ratio with calcium,
magnesium and vitamin D can be really good in the
right quantities working together, so you've got that muscle contracting
as well as relaxing. But also stuff like gluecossamine, turmeric,
kitkumen which is a product in turmeric, all of those
can help with your muscle recovery, as well as looking
(28:09):
at your B vitamins.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
So quite arranged.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Glucosm is an interesting one because that's kind of one
that's popped up more recently.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
What is it is?
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Glucosamine? How does it help?
Speaker 8 (28:17):
So it's going to help with your joints, and it's
going to help with those your castlet and that sort
of thing, So they aren't necessarily just working on one
system that's actually looking across your body.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
And healthy is with a whole bunch of products to
help you live life in the green as well. We're
going to tell you how to get some and win
some in just a couple of minutes from now on coast.
Speaker 1 (28:36):

Speaker 4 (28:40):
In the meantime, when you just start dialing our phone number,

I just looked at the result and when oh, we're
only playing for two hundred. What schmuck got us to
that point here? It was me, Okay, I'll redeem myself
this week because we're at bag and must and I
was just focused on the blitz. I can only perform
one good task of a day. Ja, Well, this is
(29:13):
your chance for redemption because the blitz wasn't. Your amazing
performance wasn't.

Speaker 6 (29:23):
Wow, anyway, you're the win right now. Philly Bank account on.

Speaker 13 (29:38):
Hi, I'm Galing Roland. I'm from Tower, Wellington. If I
went the chase today, I'm going to buy something nice
when I moved back to my house in Tower.
Speaker 6 (29:49):
You back to your house, Galing? What's being going on?
Speaker 13 (29:53):
Yeah, we had a half fire last year in October.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Not sorry to hear this. It's everything okay now.
Speaker 13 (30:00):

Speaker 1 (34:49):
This is the year where we need to make it
big because the cost of living crisis has hit and
often people the first thing people do is they take
away their donations because they are struggling themselves. So we
have to make this something that people are really gonna
want to give their money to. It's something really cool
and we want you to help us come up with
an idea. What do you think Sam, Jason and I
(35:11):
what are our particular set of skills? Now some people
have already suggested Sam does an only fans page, but
we want to keep it clean.
Speaker 5 (35:19):
We can give it clean.
Speaker 10 (35:21):
That's a idea.
Speaker 5 (35:22):
What are we thinking on that only fans page.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Well, you give quite a lot away on your normal page.
So what are we hiding that you haven't already.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Exposed everyone for that?
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Everyone am I was thinking of silver abyss.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
So what is it when you think about asking about
our skills that combined skills, what would do you equal
make a little bit of a difference to help raise
some funds for DEFINITELD next Friday one hundred double o
form coast I figure texts idea to two six ninety
nine Definite Days coming. So we want to do all
(36:09):
we can to raise some serious coins to try and
help OUTWRES. Cancer does affect one and three key weison
now and we know that A and Z has been
behind Definite Day for thirty four years.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
We've thought let's jump one in two.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Yeah, and we want to think big. We don't want
to do this is just oh we'll just do this.
We want it to be something that's big, that uses
our resource, uses our context, uses our specific set of
skills which we do not know what they are.
Speaker 6 (36:31):
Helen, what do you suggest?
Speaker 9 (36:33):
Oh, hey, look guys, I'm literally outside the hospital now
about to go into my second as certain of chemos
and trying not to cry. Well, it's just a mazing
and I cannot thank you enough. You don't help me,
you help off them, You help everybody.
Speaker 8 (36:46):
So thank you.
Speaker 9 (36:46):
It doesn't matter if you've only done it's fifty cent.
Speaker 11 (36:48):
Every cent count.
Speaker 9 (36:50):
But what I would love you guys to do is
a video fear factor. Oh no, because everybody will love that.
It will make everybody laugh. And you know, even if
you can just afford ten cents, you know people will
pay to see that.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
And you're twist talking like eating life bugs, putting yourself
in a coffin, that kind of vibe, aren't you know?
Speaker 9 (37:11):
I think I think eating. I think everything else is
a bit too much. You know, I hate being in
a coffin, but eating especially for you know.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Yeah, donuts, the calories come on it, bug.
Speaker 6 (37:29):
That's a good idea, Helen. Thank you for down Angela.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Hello are either Angela Andrea? No? I thought you couldn't
given we have actually had quite a few ticks come through,
so someone has said bring back the telethon with the
old school telephone.
Speaker 6 (37:51):
Thank you very much for your very much.
Speaker 5 (37:56):
The telephone.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
I remember it's turning up to the TV studios with
my sister and sitting there and you get included on
tvally there.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
Yeah, families are watching it at home. Don't make it
for of the family again, I made a career doing that.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
You do well, remember the racecourse and Hastings the helicopter
Fluent It was a telephone helicopter. We'll ran out with
our buckets and we made donations. We got on TV
and Hastings.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
See, that's what we need to create a bit of
a stir with an event. Someone has head and I
don't know how I feel about this. You three could
get your bodies painted nude as daffodils. But daffodils don't
have lumps and bumps, do they? But generally pretty long
and lean. I just just don't know how that would do.
Speaker 5 (38:39):
Little stem.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Maybe not one.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Another one has seid each of you paint daffodils and
auction them off. I don't know if art is our strengths.
Another person who says, why don't you have some form
of sports game that's more in our realm?
Speaker 5 (38:57):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (38:57):
Yeah, yeah, your realm.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
You guys are sport as well. Didn't you used to be?
Did you just tell us you were basically almost an
NBA start?
Speaker 5 (39:05):
I was, yeah, a.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Different lifetime ago, and then you know my potential was
limited by you know, only being six foot, so you're
going to issues.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
On the problem is the problem is if we hit
a sports game, we'd need a team, and we'd need
to have people better than us on the team to
make people actually want to want it to happen.
Speaker 6 (39:24):
Right, Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Last time I played in the sports team it was
for the Master's games and my best friend Cook Penny
didn't even put me on the court.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
I don't even think Penny would want to play with
you now, So.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
It's not great when you're talking about skills are here's
and other here? What about to do a deal with
some restaurants and an option of dinner with each of you individually?
So there's a few, doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Someone said, raffle and dinner off with us as well?
Would you want to have dinner with us?
Speaker 5 (39:49):
Someone said a PT session with Sam Antonio.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Think you made their text.
Speaker 5 (39:53):
To you.
Speaker 6 (39:56):
On the text doesn't even give.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
We're about to chat with a guy who broke his
neck or going for swimming in grease. Fast forward to now,
though he's won a gold medal and his new docco
debuted on TV last night. The incredible Gi Waite has
made a doco called wheel Blacks Bodies on the Line Joy.
Speaker 6 (40:15):
How old did this take to make?
Speaker 14 (40:16):
This was a probably two year you know to put
together from start of like just planning and filming, getting
everyone on side.
Speaker 10 (40:23):
I just saw a meeting with the places, getting.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
All the ducks in a Yeah, what was your vision
for it? What was the sort of motivation for me?
Speaker 14 (40:30):
Look, I played the sport and for me it was
like one of those things that just changed my life
because you know, I'd had like a massive accident and
sort of ended up where I thought I really couldn't
do much. You know, I was going to be like
in a cheer, what's my life? And then I've seen
these guys on playing the Paralympics in Sydney, and here's
a bunch of guys that had it going on, you know,
like that fit fast. You know, they look good, they
(40:50):
had wives, they had girlfriends, jobs, and so for me,
the motivation for this was to get that sport back
out and in front of people again, so you.
Speaker 10 (40:57):
Know there might be someone else that it might inspire.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
Yeah, I mean god, it must have been a massive
part of you recouping from your injury, because just four
years later after your accident, you went on to win
a gold medal.
Speaker 5 (41:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (41:09):
Yeah, that's a quick turn, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (41:11):
Well, yeah, it is, it is.
Speaker 14 (41:13):
I think when I first started playing, I sort of
just dipped my toes and then after a while it's like, actually,
you know, that would be kind of cool, is to
kind of complete a circle. And not only that, is
like I had my accident in Greece as well, so
the fact that it was back in Athens was kind
of like a double edged There was that kind of
moment of like there must.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
Have been a lot to take in, right, I mean,
the next time you give it to Grease, your whole
world has changed.
Speaker 6 (41:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (41:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (41:37):
Look, I remember after my accident, probably the moment I
realized that things were going to be different. As I
was in this ambulance going through Athens and I was
looking out the window and there's these lights going past
them like flesh flesh and like these palm trees. It's nighttime,
and I'm kind of going I just really love to
sit up and like look out the window and see
what was going on, and I couldn't. And that was
kind of like that moment of like this is me now,
(41:59):
like I'm going to be relying on yeah, you know.
And then four years later it was afterward won the gold.
The bus we were on going back to the village
went a different way and it was on the same motorway.
Really look out the window and there's the same palm
trees and now I've got a gold metal hel my
neck and I'm going man like it is.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
I want to talk to you about what you have
gained from sport, because we talk a lot about how
wonderful sport is for kids for so many reasons for
life lessons. But when you start playing a sport after
you've had an accident, like you say, where you think,
what is my life going to be anymore? What has
it given you?
Speaker 14 (42:33):
Definitely confidence and belief and ability I can do things
like And that was probably one of the biggest things
that I gained from the sport. Was not only did
I gain a community of people that you know, I
could just chat to about life and help what they've
been through, but just the experience they bring, because you know,
I remember my first camp, I went away. I had
all this rehabilitation equipment just to live and I got
(42:54):
picked up at the airport and he's like, you're not
using that, like and he showed me how to get
in the car and put my chair in. And then
from there that opened up so much, like from there
I could like drive myself, I could get a job,
I could you know.
Speaker 10 (43:05):
And yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
Your journey to empower people was quite inspiring because I've
noticed also you've you've set up your own production company,
Sweet Productions. You've made documentaries for Netflix, and you have
also made this dock communitary Whelblack's Bodies on the Line.
That must be another circle of completion in terms of
sharing that inspiration.
Speaker 14 (43:21):
Again, Sport was the catalyst to that because after Ethan's
we got back and got a letter in the post
from and it still exists today.
Speaker 10 (43:29):
Is a Prime Minister scholarship.
Speaker 14 (43:30):
So you've got a letter from Helen Clark and congrats
on the middle go study whatever you want and wow.
Speaker 5 (43:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (43:36):
So before that, i'd been at Union being at Waikato,
done economics and politics and that sort of sense. So
I'd worked in a bit in finance and then I
didn't really want to go back to that, and I'd
always been kind of like a storyteller, so I just
kind of like sunk my teeth into documentary editing, and
it was a job I could do.
Speaker 10 (43:51):
Because I'm behind a desk, I can.
Speaker 14 (43:52):
Tell other people's stories, which I really love, you know,
like I love sort of bringing that to the screen.
Speaker 6 (43:57):
No, well, you've got an incredible story yourself when you
know that.
Speaker 4 (43:59):
But the story even of the Wheelblacks now their journey
to get where they are right now, you need to
see this. So it's called Wheelblacks Bodies on the Line.
It's on Sky Open and Neon has it a started yesterday,
but you can see it there three episodes and I'll
tell you what it's inspiring on so many levels.
Speaker 1 (44:14):
I need to talk about the split Spring cleaned because
it is nearly that time of year, and when I
put this particular video up on Instagram, a lot of
people said they were doing the exact same thing over
the weekend, and it could have been the fact that
it was quite wet. So you know, when it's a
wet weekend, you're trying to turn to your house and
you go, oh, this place is giving me bob gbs,
isn't it. And there's one particular draw at hour it's
(44:36):
actually two draws at our house. That just it just
makes me shake my head every day I open it.
And that is our two art draws. So we have
these art draws and in it it has the kids
coloring books, pencils, felts. They all have no bloody lids on.
There's some ribbons for wrapping. It's got their stickers that
are just strewn everywhere, half done coloring inns. Then throw
(45:00):
some paint in there, some brushes, and then there's like
the scissors and the sellotape. That's just it just makes me.
If that drawer is not tidy, our life is out
of control. It's like a flow on from the art draw.
Speaker 3 (45:12):
See my drawer that is the topple Weir drawer. When
that's out of show that ye And.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
That's actually really hard to like do you put the
lids all together? Do you put the containers all together?
Are you putting them intact?
Speaker 5 (45:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (45:22):
We go containers on one side, lids on the other side,
and you've got to separate and they never met. Have
you seen sus steams come out with colored lids that
match your containers?
Speaker 1 (45:31):
Oh? Good, yez, that is that is a very good idea.
Why should they all be blue anyway? So we decided
for the forty fifth time this year that we would
clean out the art draw on the weekend because it
was giving us both anxiety. And at one point Matt
started and so he got out of a rubbish sack
and he just started having stuff and and normally yeah,
(45:53):
and also then the kids go, not that half drawn dinosaur.
I love that, it's my favorite. No, it's not. You haven't.
You haven't color it for about six months. So you
can sit back down and watch cartoons while we do this.
And then I looked over and my husband had the
longest pair of tongs we own, and he was knelt
down by the bottom art drawer and he had his
(46:13):
arms stretched right and behind the drawer. And that's when
it reminded me. Everything falls back behind the drawers.
Speaker 6 (46:19):
You can't get to it.
Speaker 1 (46:19):
Why is there not an invention that stops that from happening.
All of this stuff piles up and then it goes
over the top of the lip of the drawer, and
then you can't even shut the drawer again.
Speaker 4 (46:28):
Then you can't get your arm because you hit your
armpet and.
Speaker 5 (46:31):
The drawer out.
Speaker 1 (46:32):
Well, that's how we started getting trolled on because of
course I had to film my husband doing this and
put it on the interior. So I got it up
on the gram and then everyone was saying, why does
he not just take the drawer off? And I said
that to him and he goes, well, you'd think it'd
be as simple as that, but a lot of new
kitchens the drawer does not come out, and if you wanted,
you've got to get a screwdriver, and it's like a
(46:52):
big process. So he decided it was easier to wedge
his arm through the gap with tongs and tongue out
individual pieces of coloring in Wow. I just thought i'd
tell you that because we're here to help. If you've
got a new kitchen, whether jels don't come out, you
too need to cleanse your life in your art drawer
otherwise you will not operate.
Speaker 3 (47:12):
Otherwise you look like you're trying to inseminate a cow
when you're in kitchen.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
Oh, he definitely did, and I don't even think he
got all the stuff, So you know.
