The Coast Breakfast Bonus Podcast with Tony Jason Sam Hi.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Thanks for listening to our Breakfast Bonus podcast. Today, we're
talking about a study that's come out saying New Zealanders
the earliest diners in the world, Like we eat our
dinner so early. The rest of the world like wait,
what are you doing? So for example, around the world,
Luxembourg they go early as well, Rome, Mumbai, Buenos Aires,
they're dining out at midnight. You can book tables at
like midnight.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
It's insane to me. I agree, Like I swear if
anyone books, If someone books a seven thirty booking for dinner,
I am questioning what's wrong with them?

Speaker 4 (00:33):
And Italy it was the same, like you couldn't even
book a restaurant. They didn't the book isn't even open
until seven thirty. And then you turn up and be like,
oh god, this is so late, you kids. You're about
to fly off the handle. These Italian kids running around.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
I think six thirty is the premium time because you've
got to allow yourself time to sit down, you prove
the menie audi your drinks. You's got to allow for
Tardi service, you know all of that. It's true.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
But in London, for example, the average time to book
a table, the average time people eating dinner in London
nine forty five. At nights, I am.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
At least half an hour into bed by then why
are we so tired?

Speaker 2 (01:09):
I mean we're different. We have to get up early.
We're different. The rest of the country is not.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
I used to want to. I didn't want to go
to dinner at seven thirty before I got the early shifts.
I think it's the right time to be eating, and
all the dieticians will tell you we're right.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
I agree.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
I don't want There's no good for you matabolism eating
at midnight.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
One of the greatest ones I heard is you don't
feel up the ferrari before putting strain to the garage.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Apart from the fact that they've only eaten at midnight,
so they probably only eat two meals a day, ye
sleep in.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Maybe that's maybe they're snacking around like so five five
a snack around to that.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
If they're having dinner at midnight, that means they're probably
not eating their lunch to what three nights a bit?
But late, isn't that that's when some people are going?

Speaker 2 (01:48):
It is Rome won by Buenos Aires midnight.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
That's because they have a nap though, dodn't they.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Even even eating dinner at nine's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
That's what Australians. Australians everage time for dinner is nine
at night and we've but you guys, we've got friends
in Australia. We go to the place we go, you know,
catch up with them over there and they're happy to
dine late. You're into their house and their dinners late
as the game. Do you know what I think till
two hours away?

Speaker 3 (02:12):
I think climate has a big part to bury because
even on a nice day in New Zealand often it
will turn chili right, but in places like Australia, it'll
stay warm all night and you kind of get carried away.
It's like we're not ready to eat. It needs to
eat later.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
In a social situation, you haveing nibbles that you have.
The platter was out early, you're nibbling throughout even even
around now six seven, you're still nibbling and having your drinks.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
That's the only time I would eat late is when
I've had a few drinks and we're not in the
mood for eating because we've had too many cocktails.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
That's just go to the early dining program. What's they called,
jose Oh first table? You're us onto that?

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yeah, that's like five o'clock.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Yeah, you get like thirty percent off the bell.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
I would go at four all day.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
It's so especial with young kids. It's amazing because then.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
You get dinner out the way, get home early, and
to watch your programs.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
I didn't have another stack for we are we just
we're just not sociable, like do we need.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
To actually be I like to socialize.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
Do you know when I did Celebrity Treasure Island, I
always remember thinking, this is the core of humanity. And
that was you know, once the shooting was done. Every
day everyone gathered around a fireplace and they sat there
and they had conversations and talked, and I thought, this
is what's missing in our social structure that goes beyond
your own family.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
But do you know what, this is only good thing
that happened.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
This is the truth of get a new kitchen? Did
you get money for that?

Speaker 3 (03:34):
We don't talk about that about city. If you have
dinner at six thirty, right, and then let's say, you know,
you have your drinks first, and then you have your dinner,
it's wrapping up at nine thirty, ten o'clock. That is
perfect to me. That's a great amount of socializing. If
I tried to socialize at any time past ten thirty,

(03:55):
I'm not I'm not providing anything good, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
And also, this lava you're going to make you at
home once you get home and you're probably changing out
of your probably having a shower, and then you're getting
to be less and stuff. Thinking about it, but you've
missed the point.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
I think the point is our structures here were created silos.
We live in houses away from people. Historically, if you
go back a thousand years, what we used to do
is live in a community where all the houses were
centered around the central part of the village, so everyone
would meet at that place to eat and to talk
and to and live as a community. We all live

(04:32):
in silos and our friends are in different parts of
the country or different parts of the city. That's what's
broken down.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
I have so many of my friends that live in
walking distance from me.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
But social, we're really social the neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
No.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
But what I'm saying, you don't have a communal kitchen
that you all eat at and sit around a communal camp. Yeah,
we got to go cave man if we want to
be If we want happiness back in our lives, in
terms of our social structures, we got to go full case.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
I don't think sharing a kitchen with you is going
to make me happier.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
It wouldn't be a kitchen, that's the point. It would
be fire.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
You have like a big old barbecue in the middle,
kids tripping.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
In it really high. There are some down size but
I'll tell you what our socialization and our happiness.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
That's something about that that you mentioned before. Sitting around
a fire after even that'd be amazing.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
We could just cook in our kitchen and go eat
it in front of them, make it one of those
flash outdoor fires.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Finished. Finished.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
There's more to it than just the fireplace. The other
thing that was amazing was me and Eric Murray. We
set out under the stars and we talked.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
We looked at the starts.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
I think I want to be part of it.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
Became we philosophized, if that's a word. We we you know,
talked about our futures and past. We actually communicated.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
We don't do that much anymore.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
I'll tell you what me and Eric Murray?

Speaker 3 (06:02):
Can you say Eric and I?

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Eric and I?

Speaker 4 (06:04):
Thanks, Eric and I became brothers under the stars, a
bond that people were saying that me and Eric and
Eric's bond is a stronger bond than his Hamish bond.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
We had a better bond than bond him is going
to say, you can have him.
