Tony Jason Sam's Fair Good Breakfast, Can't Sharp podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Today on the show, we talked about a condition that
I have diagnosed as perimenopause neck and what is.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
The biggest selling toy in nineteen eighty five You'll never guess.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Also, a record number of people in their forties have
never been married. Back in the eighties it was only
six percent of people who were married. So why has
that changed? Exactly twenty days until Christmas, that is. And
so when it comes to Christmas gifts way back in
(00:41):
the eighties though, what do you think was the biggest
selling toy in the mid eighties And it's spent across
a couple of years as well.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I've got two guesses for you just based on what
I liked in the in the eighties, Cabbage patch dolls
and the other one that I was obsessed with, And
it gave me great joy to say that the Cordus
has brought it back for Christmas is k Bears.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
They've got the Q Beers themed high tea.
Speaker 6 (01:04):
KB is a massive and you have many company still.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Got bears at a house.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I just don't think to be the top selling toiled
have to be more Uni six than a care beer.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
What are you saying? There was a grumpy beer?
Speaker 6 (01:15):
It was blue Wanted the k beer with the rainbowders.
Was that Rainbunshine?
Speaker 5 (01:22):
There's lots of boy rainbeers Ki.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
No, no, there's not mates one of them one? So
what it is? Not here?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
But it's a great GISs though, and they have come back.
You can buy onesies now for adults here Beer Onesies,
Alexander salesman.
Speaker 6 (01:40):
It can't be the scooter.
Speaker 7 (01:41):
I think the scooter came along a little bit later
in life.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
Oh yeah, maybe the tricky scooter is in like the
two wheeled scooter.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Wasn't that way later than the mid eighties?
Speaker 7 (01:50):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
I think that was. I think there's an asiration of
those back in the sixties maybe.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Average What about rollerblades?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
No they don't know, Yeah, no, but not those though.
That's a great yes too. They've made a comeback too.
So what do you think it is now? I'll tell
you the years. Don't google it those see if you
can get it without it. The best selling toy of
nineteen eighty five and nineteen eighty six, a unisex toy.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
It's a two word answer.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
What do you think, say Barbie, but you're telling it
it's not you.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, I think just because you lose half your audience
if it's it's kind of genus specific.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Did they kid oh one hundred, double oh four coastal
think it takes to two six nine nine.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Maybe chances are high you have one of these. Back
in the eighties. This was the biggest.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Selling toy in the world across a couple of years
in the eighties, Sharon, what do you.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
Think the toy was? I thought it might have been
the Chatterings.
Speaker 8 (02:37):
I was at Skull at that time and that.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Was like then, so I yeah, chatterings.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
I thought the Chatterings came out a little later. But no,
you must be very young. No, it's not chatterings.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
A great guests though.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
A lovely kinetic You say, you send your fugal or
kinetic kind of toy?
Speaker 6 (02:53):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 9 (02:53):
Both?
Speaker 6 (02:54):
Probably? Yeah, Like it's quite a relied on its.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Own movement, you're repe isn't it therapeutic?
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Can kind of based on physics? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Weird guy to school Reuben fuck them where he made them.
He used to make them in a middlework. He was
able to make their own his own chatterings like wow, Ruben,
that's amazing.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Mister fuckingoy know how to do welding or something. Yeah,
well he was a student. He was like younger than
I was. His own chedtering side hustle. I know, right exactly.
They're not chatterings. Andrea, what do you think it was?
Speaker 8 (03:19):
I think it's Rubers.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
That's a great guess to you said it was too
two words.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
I think that came out a little earlier.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
We're talking nineteen eighty five to nineteen eighty six, and
maybe you have one of these.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Can I just say that the Rubik's cubes as a
miserable toy?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah, I was never a fan. I'd do it for
thirty seconds.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
You can do it.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
It's amazing. But everyone else know it was Tidy Ruxman,
Neber titty Ruxpan. Yeah, so td Rrouxman. This is what
it says here, the best selling toy of nineteen eighty
five and nineteen eighty six, Titty Ruxpan wasn't homes everywhere
Throughout the eighties, the talking toy was a cutting edge,
not novelty at the time.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Remember you could record your own voice the titty beer.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I was a little bit before my toy time, but
I remember people who had it.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 9 (04:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
I never had a Teddy ruxban. But then then they
had a TV series about TV Ruxbyn.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
I think I heard that. Yeah, they had cereals and
all sorts of It.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Was the biggest toy and was here in nineteen eighty
five nineteen eighty six, the biggest toy in the world
between teddy X the talking beer. Yeah, and you could
record your own voice on it leaves little messages. Nowadays
phones do that.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, But I have to say there's there's a lot
of things in the malls where you go build your
own beer and there's a little thing you record a
voice message into.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
Still rage at.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
The moment literally called build a beer, Build the Bear.
And they've had it overseas and now they have it here.
You can sell your park in Auckland's got one and you.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Can do birthday parties and take a wh bunch because
the build the owners at birthday a great idea.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
It was Teddy ruxband at the time, so they get
you at build the beer because they're like, you do
want to name the beer, you want a ceremony over
the beer, you want rules, how.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Much historic glasses?
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Until who's trying to save money at the moment TV
AND's he got to try and find thirty million.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Dollars in savings.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I was just thinking about this yesterday when the news
leaked there Andna Burns Francis and Haley Holt won't be
returning bo of whom are on maternity leave. I work
with both of those two, and I just it blows
my mind as someone that started at TV and D
isn't in turn back in two thousand and six that
this is the state of television our country, Like I
cannot believe. I would never have been able to predict
(05:15):
that rapid sort of decline. We were at the point
where we're literally just cutting jobs left, right and center.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, and at some point you think, why is it
not monetized in some respect?
Speaker 7 (05:25):
I don't know. I mean historically it was a licensing fee,
wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
But you know, we see other platforms turning to creating
models and which money comes back in and you can
you can pay for the programming and you can't help
but think that maybe they've missed their chance a.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Couple of times.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
Well, it's hard, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
It's hard with the population we have as well, because
you look at internationally the BBC's you see an ends
they don't have that pay for option.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Do they not for their standard news?
Speaker 9 (05:50):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
But also got their free to end sorry which one
BBC see.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
No, But they've got a licensing fee though, don't they,
which pays for it all. So I think they get
the money up front since feed do you have to
if you want television at home, you have to pay
a licensing fee at the start of the year, and
that pays all roadcast I think to get the BBC coverage.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
Or something, all the main channels. I think that's how
it works.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I don't know, because it's free to ear. I know
the Olympics and stuff on BBC's all free to ear.
I don't know if people pay that.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
At the start.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Do that what you were saying before, though, Tony, you're right,
because I mean the little last it was a year
and a half. We have seen, say, for example, TV
three x their entire news, so there's no more three news.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Remember a while they were about a week and a half.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
We saw the end of three News, at the end
of the Project TV show, then the end of Late
News on TV and Z.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
About week Sunday No Fear Go Sunday for all of
these things finished within like two weeks of each other,
Like what all the big karent of fears programs. And
I just felt really sad yesterday when I heard that. Yeah,
you know, imagine that being on maternity leave and then suddenly, oh.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Job can come back, come back.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
You know, it's brutal, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I mean both those two are very talented, so I'm
sure they'll go on and get other jobs.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Yeah, yeah, So here we go.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
A TV license in the UK cost one hundreds seven
one hundred and sixty nine pounds per year.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
If you had a black and white TV Hits fifty seven.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
They feel sorry for you for year.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
I don't know that would fix our woes here.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
Well, it would be nice because we used to have one.
We know what's happening, don't we.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
We know that all the it's all gone online, hasn't we,
which means that the Googles and the facebooks and everything
meta are making all the money off the ad revenue
which means, you know, it's unsustainable to make content if
you're not clipping the ticket.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
On the ad revenue.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
So you know, that's what everyone's trying to do, especially
australia're trying to get that money back out of the
licensing so that they can make money on the revenue
to sustain you know, local programming.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
So that that is the problem.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
But what is the answer, I don't know, but either way,
you feel for your Hatanna and everyone else.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
I mean, it's not just the media the section.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
There are so many sectors in the country right now
steering down the barrel of job losses right before Christmas.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
It's just awful. So we feel for you.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Now, before I start telling you about the new Christmas
movie Hot Frosty, I just want to point out that
it is my wedding anniversary today, So happy wedding anniversary
to my husband.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Oh, there got me some Crystal Trotskies this morning.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Fifteen years is crystal Apparently I thought it was Watches,
but it's Crystal and he watched this movie with me.
So before you two come down on it, think about it.
So look, the premise didn't exactly drag me in when
I heard what it was about So it's about us.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Snowman that turns into a real boy. My life is
a mess right now. Good things come to you when
you're out in the cold.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Kathy, You're stuck in there pretty bad.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
Well, I mean to get behind you a push. It
feels amazing. Excuse me? Can I help you? This is
Jack I was a still man.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
That's not good.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
The coveralls in the boots, did you steal them?
Speaker 10 (08:45):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (08:46):
Man, went's just drinking in front of poor Apple Channing.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
I want to make the most of the time that
I have with him.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
A man that's sweets just gotta be magic.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
For a man, the one romantic.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
So essentially what happens. She has lost her husband, so
she's a widow.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
And she's a heavy stuck. Was effectively a snowman coming
to life.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
She's looking for love and along comes the snowman that
turns into a realm.
Speaker 9 (09:20):
Look.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
I know it doesn't sound like I'm selling it, but
it had all the fields. I had all of the
beautiful Christmas village vibe.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Now, the lead actress is Lacey Shabbee, who you remember
was on Mean Girls and she was also on.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Party of Five.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
So I feel like there'll be a bit of nostalgia there.
And the guy who plays hot Frosty Jack Snowman, he was.
He is the most dehydrated, leanest person you'll ever see, like.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Six I tried. I watched the trailer and what are
you doing? When she gets stuck in the snow and
he's like, let me hove.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
He slides down. He's on the roof with no shirt
on in the snow.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
He's a snowman, kids.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
And this is the problem. This is the problem.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Like you know, if you were if you were to
cast a human snowman, it's not a guy that's six
percent body fair.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
It's a big, rotund guy.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
You couldn't pull it tubby Frosty, could you?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
And if your son is coming to life, would you
really use the carrot for the nose?
Speaker 6 (10:20):
I watched this and I was like, what do you
know what?
Speaker 5 (10:23):
It's cheesy, but it's got all the good fields. It
really does this. Dustin Milligan he was on Beverly Hills
the remake of it.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
That's all you need to know right there? How good
was that?
Speaker 5 (10:34):

He was also on Ship's.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
Creek the first part right.

fust it out Christmas Eve if.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
You won't regret it. It's that time of the year.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
And if you want to have a cheeky glass of wine,
don't feel too guilty. I'll read this morning that approximately
seven hundred and thirty seven grapes go into.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
A bottle of wine. There's a lot of this. So
you seek to be having a fruit platter.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
What if you have cheese platter with the wine? It's okay,
slash grape. It's all your food groups. There are are
a better things, so don't feel bad about it. In fact,
if you want some wine, go to Knockiespalette dot com.
They've got this double gold winning rose Avia and you
can order the bottle alone. Is just a work of art,
and thanks to Knaki's palette, we're cheasing some people across Christmas,
giving them five hundred bucks cash.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
If you wanted to be Yue with.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Someone you know Chick the word chairs and the person
you nominate to two six nine nine.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I'm really glad that you've okayed me to have the
occasional glass of wine because I've needed needed it to
sort out my neck.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Recently, I've been drinking through the neck pain again.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
So this, look, I need to tell you about this,
and this is actually we're kind of laughing, but it's
actually serious. So just before we went to New York,
I hurt my neck right and look, I get Sawnick's periodically,
so I didn't think much about it. But then when
we were in New York, I was in serious pain
to the point where I was like saying to the boys,
put as much weight on my neck as you possibly can,
(15:35):
just to try and get it out of this tight knot.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
And it hasn't got better. And here we are. How
long ago did we go to New York?
Speaker 6 (15:42):
Are we talking months ago?
Speaker 8 (15:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Ten, twelve, weeks.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
It was about twelve weeks ago maybe lease, And so
I tooked to my Instagram and I was like, I've
got the sawn neck. What are your suggestions?
Speaker 6 (15:53):
People? And I've started a putable place to get help advice.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
I tell you what if you don't get how, you
get sympathy.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And that is what I have been given because there
are so many women around my age, around forty that
have got the same thing, and everyone's saying that it's
another yet another perimenopausal symptom that you just you just
have to deal with. People are getting it and it's
a legitimate thing. So once again, it's the perimenopause to blame.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Yea, is it though?
Speaker 7 (16:22):
Or are you just carrying the weight of the mail
in your life?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
You know what I meant, a lot of mat But
my neck pain comes from Sure's neck pain comes from me, and.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Don't I don't think.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I don't think I can blame this one on him.
But it's the same side of my neck. And I
know that we all carry tension in our neck, but
apparently it gets worse when you're going through perimenopause.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
So what am I doing about it?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Well, I've been getting regular physio from my mate Reagan.
Thank you physioconnect great physio. And then he recommended he
recommended that I go see a chiropector, which I was
shocked at because I thought those two were opposed and chiropractors.
And I went to a chiropractor yesterday Alchemy and Melford
and Auckland Store Shore and I'm going to say that
(17:06):
because he was amazing, and I'm going back today.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
Record numbers of people in their forties have never been married.
Back in the nineteen eighties, only six percent of people
in their forties were not married. Six ninety four percent
of people in their forties were married.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Imagine that being in the six percent, you know, because
they were harsh back then. If you didn't get married,
you were basically deemed a spinster.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
If you weren't married by thirty.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
Told you're on the shelf. Yeah, I got married at
forty one.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah, you would have been deemed a spinster. The male
version of that. What is the male version of a spinster? No,
don't worry. If they were six aspect, then you would
have been fine.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
You'd have still been an eligible.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
Or bachelor, the man about town.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
You would have been a Suspenstone unmarried woman, Timothy, an
older woman beyond the usual age of marriage.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Ship and the usual age of marriage back then was
absolutely in your early twenties.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Yeah, gosh.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
But now though, record numbers of people in their forties
have never been married, compared that to back in the
eighties when it was only six percent, Now record numbers.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
A lot of people have never been married in their forties.
So we'll put that out there.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
If that's you or someone you know, why, why is that?
Speaker 9 (23:20):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Because you said before Sam it's a big party. You
don't want to You got other things in life you
want to worry. I want to clarify my thoughts on that.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Okay, yeah, because I think it's it's very flippant to
just say it's a big party. I can't say that
it's my fifteen winnie today.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I think there's so you had to say congratulations. I
think so many people are in these long term relationships
and just don't take the final step to have to
get married. And I'm like, at that point, you're already
committed nine a lot of the cases, you already have kids.
So at that point, all you're missing is the celebration
of your relationship.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
And it's like, that's one of the great parts.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
Just do it.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
I don't know if it's just a celebration of your relationship.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
I think it's a commitment. The ceremony is a commitment just.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
To how you're going to stay with that person and
she're not just going to bay or when they get circled.
Speaker 11 (24:01):
But yes and no.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
But I think so many people have already made that
commitment without necessarily signing the paper.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
A couple weeks ago, taking it was this awesome couple
and they've been heither thirty years, got a house, got kids,
the kids started to leave home, now empty nest has
now never been married.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
They've been together for thirty years.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Goldie Horn and Kurt Russell been together what thirty forty
odd years?
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Never been married?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yeah, I guess it's whether you believe in the commitment
of marriage or not.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
Really.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Oh, just to answer your question too, the opposite gender
to spinster is a bachelor a spinster.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
That's amazing when you consider the different connotation.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
So spinster denotes a woman who is not just single,
but also unlikely to marry in the future, especially given
their age. The name spincer is outdated and derogatory by itself.
The two bachelor refers to an unmarried man without implying
that he will remain so.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
How sexus is so?
Speaker 4 (24:51):
If record numbers of people in their forties are now
not married and never been married, why is that? Do
you reckon O eight one hundred double oh four coast
in flick that takes the two six nine. The reason
a lot of people in their forties are not married
is the cost.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
That's what a lot of people are.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Saying, Yes, the cost for and another one here is
saying people just don't know how to commit anymore. So
I don't know if it's that because some people are
together for years and years and years, just not in
the ring on the finger.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Although I've heard some people say I'm not ready to
commit and then they have kids and I'm like, well,
that's a huge hotter commitment because you can just break
up and leave them and once you got kids, yeh,
stuck together.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Yeah, they that's true.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
So back in nineteen eighty, only six percent of people
in their in their forties had never been married. Today
it's a record number of people in their forties. In fact,
it's over thirty percent of people in their forties never
been married. So at leasta, why do you reckon that.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
Is it's a huge cost to get married and a
lot of people's value to regarding finding a home to
live in. But also, you can be married and have
children and stalk with You can be living together, have
children and stalks with rabbits. It's about knowing what each
(25:54):
other really wants.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
And I know you to say you can be happily
loved and commit without having the marriage certificate.
Speaker 6 (26:02):
I know you disagree with.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Not a lot of people, not at all, it's just
about your values and where the marriage is important to you.
And it was to me, but it might not be
to and you didn't want to get marriage for AGENTSSU
mean the institution of marriage. Yeah, I wanted to commit
to someone and to publicly sort of say that in
front of my friends and family, and that was important
to me.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Yeah, to promise that to someone.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Yeah, I guess that's just.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
That really does depend if that that kind of that
is part of what your knowledge base is, you know,
and if it's not, it's that's.
Speaker 6 (26:31):
Fine to it.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
And it must have been for you because you then
got married, right.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Yeah, for me, marriage kind of grew on me. Like
I was like, I wasn't I wasn't a huge It
was never a huge priority for me. I kind of
made the commitment without having the certificate. But then when
I got married, I was like, this is awesome. I
actually liked it way more than I thought I want,
you know, and it's not only the party. The party
was fantastic, like and it really did cement our relationship.
(26:55):
Everyone's celebrating that that kind of that that that relationship
and it and it made a lot. So I didn't
really understand marriage until I got married. I mean, and
it doesn't have to be expen's the cost. No, you
could do, honestly, something in the backyard, a bit of
a barbecue, some hot dogs on a plate, some pizza's
passed around. As long as you're with your good people,
make those promises in front.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Of get the people that are saying though, expense gets
in the way, because I do think there over time
there has become an expectation that marriages do cost a lot,
which I think is sad that that is the only
reason people putting people off.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Yes, maybe maybe we need to in those respects, we
need to lower expectations on what we e speak from
a wedding. But you throw it out there and you
put it out there to your friends, and you don't
want to be the person that has this thinkest.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
Wedding, do you? Yeah, says you're saying. But for your
real mates, it's all about that. I think.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
I think there has been a bit of a flip
to parate back because I think everything goes ott and then.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Comes back right.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
A lot of people.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Texting with Linda's text in and said I'm fifty seven,
never married, no children, have not met my true love.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
Yeah, and that's worth waiting for.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
But that makes me think Linda is still looking for it.
So good on you, London. Don't even know when it's
going to come along.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Happened at the least when you least expected as well.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
You know that was last week that banana duct taped
to the wall sold at art auctions for six and
a half million dollars. Well this mornings and the news
are plain white blank canvas.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
Is going up for auction.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
They're expecting one and a half million dollars for a
blank piece of canvas from a nineteen seventies artist.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
The world has gone mad.
Speaker 11 (28:22):
It really has.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Well, speaking of artists, they got together back in nineteen
seventy eight. The songs are still played and celebrated all
over the world. So Andy McCluskey, who wrote these songs,
why do you think the songs you wrote have stood
the test of time?
Speaker 9 (28:49):
Thank you very much? Do you know what I think?
To be honest, we wrote melodies in and it doesn't
matter what language. The keyboard melodies are international. So I
think maybe that was that was a large part of it.
But I try not to overanalyze it too much. I
might end up going down to Cold de Sac.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
What do you think about coming to New Zealand? Are
you a big fan of the place?
Speaker 9 (29:15):
Oh my, you have no idea. We have been desperate
to come back. Do you know by the time we
get back next year it will be almost thirty eight years.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
Unforgivable it is, and I do apologize to every single
person in New Zealand. We are coming back to rectify
that oversight. And yeah, we're really looking forward to I mean,
we had such happy memories of the one and only
time we've been to New Zealand before, so we're finally
coming back and we cannot wait.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Can you please share those memories. What did you do
through the years ago that made you so fond of
New Zealand.
Speaker 9 (29:51):
Well, first of all, the landscape is stunning. We didn't
we didn't even get to the South Island last time,
and we still thought New Zealand looked amazing, that people
were incredible, and without sounding like I was saying the
wrong thing, it kind of reminded me. I felt like
I was back in the I Spy Book of British
Cars nineteen sixty eight. There was all these old British
(30:14):
cars still on the road.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
Now it might have changed normally come from Asia.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Now you're going to be backing the Southland when you
come make in next year, which we can't wait for.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
Now, think about this again.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Over forty million album Cells described as one of the
most influential synth pop bands in history. Orchestral maneuvers in
the dark OMD have inspired many artists across the verse.
John Genres, Now, the thing about you, Indy is you
didn't just do OEMD. Tell us about this mess of
other successful group you are behind.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
Well. When I finally decided to hang my microphone up
and decided that maybe it was time to stop, I
was conceited enough to think I could still write songs
and maybe it was just a vehicle that was considered
past it Cell by date. So I invented a three
piece girl band called Atomic Kitten and wrote their first
album for them, wrote Hole Again, which I'm very proud of.
(31:05):
You couldn't get more different from Kitten, but it was
great fun.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Do you catch out with the Kittens match?
Speaker 9 (31:14):
Actually? Yeah, I speak to Kerry quite a lot. She's
just about to be an ugly sister in pantomime this Christmas?
Speaker 6 (31:23):
Can you please for the.
Speaker 9 (31:24):
Seventeen year old. But I met all those years ago.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
So Amy Mcluskey from OMD, can you please promise us
when you come to New Zealand next to you across
the summer? Three places across the summer. I haven't been

that were in movies like Pretty and Pink, can you
please do an Atomic Kitten song on stage?
Speaker 6 (31:40):

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Today on the show, we talked about a condition that
I have diagnosed as perimenopause neck and what is.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
The biggest selling toy in nineteen eighty five You'll never guess.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Also, a record number of people in their forties have
never been married. Back in the eighties it was only
six percent of people who were married. So why has
that changed? Exactly twenty days until Christmas, that is. And
so when it comes to Christmas gifts way back in
(00:41):
the eighties though, what do you think was the biggest
selling toy in the mid eighties And it's spent across
a couple of years as well.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I've got two guesses for you just based on what
I liked in the in the eighties, Cabbage patch dolls
and the other one that I was obsessed with, And
it gave me great joy to say that the Cordus
has brought it back for Christmas is k Bears.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
They've got the Q Beers themed high tea.
Speaker 6 (01:04):
KB is a massive and you have many company still.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Got bears at a house.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I just don't think to be the top selling toiled
have to be more Uni six than a care beer.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
What are you saying? There was a grumpy beer?
Speaker 6 (01:15):
It was blue Wanted the k beer with the rainbowders.
Was that Rainbunshine?
Speaker 5 (01:22):
There's lots of boy rainbeers Ki.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
No, no, there's not mates one of them one? So
what it is? Not here?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
But it's a great GISs though, and they have come back.
You can buy onesies now for adults here Beer Onesies,
Alexander salesman.
Speaker 6 (01:40):
It can't be the scooter.
Speaker 7 (01:41):
I think the scooter came along a little bit later
in life.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
Oh yeah, maybe the tricky scooter is in like the
two wheeled scooter.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Wasn't that way later than the mid eighties?
Speaker 7 (01:50):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
I think that was. I think there's an asiration of
those back in the sixties maybe.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Average What about rollerblades?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
No they don't know, Yeah, no, but not those though.
That's a great yes too. They've made a comeback too.
So what do you think it is now? I'll tell
you the years. Don't google it those see if you
can get it without it. The best selling toy of
nineteen eighty five and nineteen eighty six, a unisex toy.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
It's a two word answer.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
What do you think, say Barbie, but you're telling it
it's not you.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, I think just because you lose half your audience
if it's it's kind of genus specific.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Did they kid oh one hundred, double oh four coastal
think it takes to two six nine nine.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Maybe chances are high you have one of these. Back
in the eighties. This was the biggest.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Selling toy in the world across a couple of years
in the eighties, Sharon, what do you.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
Think the toy was? I thought it might have been
the Chatterings.
Speaker 8 (02:37):
I was at Skull at that time and that.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Was like then, so I yeah, chatterings.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
I thought the Chatterings came out a little later. But no,
you must be very young. No, it's not chatterings.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
A great guests though.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
A lovely kinetic You say, you send your fugal or
kinetic kind of toy?

well he was a student. He was like younger than
I was. His own chedtering side hustle. I know, right exactly.
They're not chatterings. Andrea, what do you think it was?
Speaker 8 (03:19):
I think it's Rubers.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
That's a great guess to you said it was too
two words.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
I think that came out a little earlier.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
We're talking nineteen eighty five to nineteen eighty six, and
maybe you have one of these.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Can I just say that the Rubik's cubes as a
miserable toy?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah, I was never a fan. I'd do it for
thirty seconds.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
You can do it.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
It's amazing. But everyone else know it was Tidy Ruxman,
Neber titty Ruxpan. Yeah, so td Rrouxman. This is what
it says here, the best selling toy of nineteen eighty
five and nineteen eighty six, Titty Ruxpan wasn't homes everywhere
Throughout the eighties, the talking toy was a cutting edge,
not novelty at the time.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Remember you could record your own voice the titty beer.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I was a little bit before my toy time, but
I remember people who had it.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 9 (04:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
I never had a Teddy ruxban. But then then they
had a TV series about TV Ruxbyn.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
I think I heard that. Yeah, they had cereals and
all sorts of It.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Was the biggest toy and was here in nineteen eighty
five nineteen eighty six, the biggest toy in the world
between teddy X the talking beer. Yeah, and you could
record your own voice on it leaves little messages. Nowadays
phones do that.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, But I have to say there's there's a lot
of things in the malls where you go build your
own beer and there's a little thing you record a
voice message into.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
Still rage at.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
The moment literally called build a beer, Build the Bear.
And they've had it overseas and now they have it here.
You can sell your park in Auckland's got one and you.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Can do birthday parties and take a wh bunch because
the build the owners at birthday a great idea.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
It was Teddy ruxband at the time, so they get
you at build the beer because they're like, you do
want to name the beer, you want a ceremony over
the beer, you want rules, how.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Much historic glasses?
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Until who's trying to save money at the moment TV
AND's he got to try and find thirty million.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Dollars in savings.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I was just thinking about this yesterday when the news
leaked there Andna Burns Francis and Haley Holt won't be
returning bo of whom are on maternity leave. I work
with both of those two, and I just it blows
my mind as someone that started at TV and D
isn't in turn back in two thousand and six that
this is the state of television our country, Like I
cannot believe. I would never have been able to predict
(05:15):
that rapid sort of decline. We were at the point
where we're literally just cutting jobs left, right and center.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, and at some point you think, why is it
not monetized in some respect?
Speaker 7 (05:25):
I don't know. I mean historically it was a licensing fee,
wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
But you know, we see other platforms turning to creating
models and which money comes back in and you can
you can pay for the programming and you can't help
but think that maybe they've missed their chance a.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Couple of times.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
Well, it's hard, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
It's hard with the population we have as well, because
you look at internationally the BBC's you see an ends
they don't have that pay for option.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Do they not for their standard news?
Speaker 9 (05:50):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
But also got their free to end sorry which one
BBC see.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
No, But they've got a licensing fee though, don't they,
which pays for it all. So I think they get
the money up front since feed do you have to
if you want television at home, you have to pay
a licensing fee at the start of the year, and
that pays all roadcast I think to get the BBC coverage.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
Or something, all the main channels. I think that's how
it works.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I don't know, because it's free to ear. I know
the Olympics and stuff on BBC's all free to ear.
I don't know if people pay that.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
At the start.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Do that what you were saying before, though, Tony, you're right,
because I mean the little last it was a year
and a half. We have seen, say, for example, TV
three x their entire news, so there's no more three news.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Remember a while they were about a week and a half.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
We saw the end of three News, at the end
of the Project TV show, then the end of Late
News on TV and Z.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
About week Sunday No Fear Go Sunday for all of
these things finished within like two weeks of each other,
Like what all the big karent of fears programs. And
I just felt really sad yesterday when I heard that. Yeah,
you know, imagine that being on maternity leave and then suddenly, oh.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Job can come back, come back.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
You know, it's brutal, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I mean both those two are very talented, so I'm
sure they'll go on and get other jobs.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Yeah, yeah, So here we go.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
A TV license in the UK cost one hundreds seven
one hundred and sixty nine pounds per year.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
If you had a black and white TV Hits fifty seven.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
They feel sorry for you for year.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
I don't know that would fix our woes here.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
Well, it would be nice because we used to have one.
We know what's happening, don't we.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
We know that all the it's all gone online, hasn't we,
which means that the Googles and the facebooks and everything
meta are making all the money off the ad revenue
which means, you know, it's unsustainable to make content if
you're not clipping the ticket.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
On the ad revenue.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
So you know, that's what everyone's trying to do, especially
australia're trying to get that money back out of the
licensing so that they can make money on the revenue
to sustain you know, local programming.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
So that that is the problem.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
But what is the answer, I don't know, but either way,
you feel for your Hatanna and everyone else.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
I mean, it's not just the media the section.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
There are so many sectors in the country right now
steering down the barrel of job losses right before Christmas.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
It's just awful. So we feel for you.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Now, before I start telling you about the new Christmas
movie Hot Frosty, I just want to point out that
it is my wedding anniversary today, So happy wedding anniversary
to my husband.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Oh, there got me some Crystal Trotskies this morning.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Fifteen years is crystal Apparently I thought it was Watches,
but it's Crystal and he watched this movie with me.
So before you two come down on it, think about it.
So look, the premise didn't exactly drag me in when
I heard what it was about So it's about us.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Snowman that turns into a real boy. My life is
a mess right now. Good things come to you when
you're out in the cold.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Kathy, You're stuck in there pretty bad.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
Well, I mean to get behind you a push. It
feels amazing. Excuse me? Can I help you? This is
Jack I was a still man.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
That's not good.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
The coveralls in the boots, did you steal them?
Speaker 10 (08:45):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (08:46):
Man, went's just drinking in front of poor Apple Channing.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
I want to make the most of the time that
I have with him.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
A man that's sweets just gotta be magic.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
For a man, the one romantic.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
So essentially what happens. She has lost her husband, so
she's a widow.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
And she's a heavy stuck. Was effectively a snowman coming
to life.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
She's looking for love and along comes the snowman that
turns into a realm.
Speaker 9 (09:20):
Look.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
I know it doesn't sound like I'm selling it, but
it had all the fields. I had all of the
beautiful Christmas village vibe.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Now, the lead actress is Lacey Shabbee, who you remember
was on Mean Girls and she was also on.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Party of Five.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
So I feel like there'll be a bit of nostalgia there.
And the guy who plays hot Frosty Jack Snowman, he was.
He is the most dehydrated, leanest person you'll ever see, like.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Six I tried. I watched the trailer and what are
you doing? When she gets stuck in the snow and
he's like, let me hove.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
He slides down. He's on the roof with no shirt
on in the snow.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
He's a snowman, kids.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
And this is the problem. This is the problem.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Like you know, if you were if you were to
cast a human snowman, it's not a guy that's six
percent body fair.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
It's a big, rotund guy.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
You couldn't pull it tubby Frosty, could you?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
And if your son is coming to life, would you
really use the carrot for the nose?
Speaker 6 (10:20):
I watched this and I was like, what do you
know what?
Speaker 5 (10:23):
It's cheesy, but it's got all the good fields. It
really does this. Dustin Milligan he was on Beverly Hills
the remake of it.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
That's all you need to know right there? How good
was that?
Speaker 5 (10:34):
It wasn't great, but they gave him a second chance.
He was also on Ship's.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
Creek the first part right.
Speaker 1 (10:41):

don't feel too guilty. I'll read this morning that approximately
seven hundred and thirty seven grapes go into.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
A bottle of wine. There's a lot of this. So

slash grape. It's all your food groups. There are are
a better things, so don't feel bad about it. In fact,

and thanks to Knaki's palette, we're cheasing some people across Christmas,
giving them five hundred bucks cash.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
If you wanted to be Yue with.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Someone you know Chick the word chairs and the person
you nominate to two six nine nine.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I'm really glad that you've okayed me to have the
occasional glass of wine because I've needed needed it to
sort out my neck.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Recently, I've been drinking through the neck pain again.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
So this, look, I need to tell you about this,
and this is actually we're kind of laughing, but it's
actually serious. So just before we went to New York,
I hurt my neck right and look, I get Sawnick's periodically,
so I didn't think much about it. But then when
we were in New York, I was in serious pain
to the point where I was like saying to the boys,
put as much weight on my neck as you possibly can,
(15:35):
just to try and get it out of this tight knot.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
And it hasn't got better. And here we are. How
long ago did we go to New York?
Speaker 6 (15:42):
Are we talking months ago?
Speaker 8 (15:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Ten, twelve, weeks.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
It was about twelve weeks ago maybe lease, And so
I tooked to my Instagram and I was like, I've
got the sawn neck. What are your suggestions?
Speaker 6 (15:53):
People? And I've started a putable place to get help advice.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
I tell you what if you don't get how, you
get sympathy.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And that is what I have been given because there
are so many women around my age, around forty that
have got the same thing, and everyone's saying that it's
another yet another perimenopausal symptom that you just you just
have to deal with. People are getting it and it's
a legitimate thing. So once again, it's the perimenopause to blame.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Yea, is it though?
Speaker 7 (16:22):
Or are you just carrying the weight of the mail
in your life?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
You know what I meant, a lot of mat But
my neck pain comes from Sure's neck pain comes from me, and.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Don't I don't think.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I don't think I can blame this one on him.
But it's the same side of my neck. And I
know that we all carry tension in our neck, but
apparently it gets worse when you're going through perimenopause.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
So what am I doing about it?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Well, I've been getting regular physio from my mate Reagan.
Thank you physioconnect great physio. And then he recommended he
recommended that I go see a chiropector, which I was
shocked at because I thought those two were opposed and chiropractors.
And I went to a chiropractor yesterday Alchemy and Melford
and Auckland Store Shore and I'm going to say that
(17:06):
because he was amazing, and I'm going back today.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
I am.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I am just throwing myself at appointments because I'm normally
in the past i'd get a saw neck, I get
one physio sasition and go I'm okay now.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
And that's not how you fix yourself as that.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
My husband gave me a talking to him and said,
you can't just fix it with one appointment.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
You've got to keep going.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
So the first time in my life, I'm going to
keep going to appointments.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
You normally have like a week between appointments. You've go
the very next day. How bad is it?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
He's never seen such a he's never seen such a
tight neck, this titus neck.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
He's ever seen waspaus Well, he didn't say that.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
You know sex nine nine on the tics. Okay, you
feeling me? Do you to have Pieri minipause on neck.

catch in today's cash is one thousand dollars.
Speaker 7 (18:10):

Tony's How the Lifestyle Podcast Now back to Coasts, Feel
Good Breakfast Ketch Up with Tony Jason Sam.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Record numbers of people in their forties have never been married.
Back in the nineteen eighties, only six percent of people
in their forties were not married. Six ninety four percent
of people in their forties were married.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Imagine that being in the six percent, you know, because
they were harsh back then. If you didn't get married,
you were basically deemed a spinster.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
If you weren't married by thirty.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
Told you're on the shelf. Yeah, I got married at
forty one.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah, you would have been deemed a spinster. The male
version of that. What is the male version of a spinster? No,
don't worry. If they were six aspect, then you would
have been fine.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
You'd have still been an eligible.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
Or bachelor, the man about town.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
You would have been a Suspenstone unmarried woman, Timothy, an
older woman beyond the usual age of marriage.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Ship and the usual age of marriage back then was
absolutely in your early twenties.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Yeah, gosh.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
But now though, record numbers of people in their forties
have never been married, compared that to back in the
eighties when it was only six percent, Now record numbers.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
A lot of people have never been married in their forties.
So we'll put that out there.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
If that's you or someone you know, why, why is that?
Speaker 9 (23:20):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Because you said before Sam it's a big party. You
don't want to You got other things in life you
want to worry. I want to clarify my thoughts on that.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Okay, yeah, because I think it's it's very flippant to
just say it's a big party. I can't say that
it's my fifteen winnie today.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I think there's so you had to say congratulations. I
think so many people are in these long term relationships
and just don't take the final step to have to
get married. And I'm like, at that point, you're already
committed nine a lot of the cases, you already have kids.
So at that point, all you're missing is the celebration
of your relationship.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
And it's like, that's one of the great parts.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
Just do it.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
I don't know if it's just a celebration of your relationship.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
I think it's a commitment. The ceremony is a commitment just.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
To how you're going to stay with that person and
she're not just going to bay or when they get circled.
Speaker 11 (24:01):
But yes and no.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
But I think so many people have already made that
commitment without necessarily signing the paper.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
A couple weeks ago, taking it was this awesome couple
and they've been heither thirty years, got a house, got kids,
the kids started to leave home, now empty nest has
now never been married.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
They've been together for thirty years.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Goldie Horn and Kurt Russell been together what thirty forty
odd years?
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Never been married?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yeah, I guess it's whether you believe in the commitment
of marriage or not.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
Really.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Oh, just to answer your question too, the opposite gender
to spinster is a bachelor a spinster.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
That's amazing when you consider the different connotation.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
So spinster denotes a woman who is not just single,
but also unlikely to marry in the future, especially given
their age. The name spincer is outdated and derogatory by itself.
The two bachelor refers to an unmarried man without implying
that he will remain so.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
How sexus is so?
Speaker 4 (24:51):
If record numbers of people in their forties are now
not married and never been married, why is that? Do
you reckon O eight one hundred double oh four coast
in flick that takes the two six nine. The reason
a lot of people in their forties are not married
is the cost.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
That's what a lot of people are.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Saying, Yes, the cost for and another one here is
saying people just don't know how to commit anymore. So
I don't know if it's that because some people are
together for years and years and years, just not in
the ring on the finger.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Although I've heard some people say I'm not ready to
commit and then they have kids and I'm like, well,
that's a huge hotter commitment because you can just break
up and leave them and once you got kids, yeh,
stuck together.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Yeah, they that's true.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
So back in nineteen eighty, only six percent of people
in their in their forties had never been married. Today
it's a record number of people in their forties. In fact,
it's over thirty percent of people in their forties never
been married. So at leasta, why do you reckon that.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
Is it's a huge cost to get married and a
lot of people's value to regarding finding a home to
live in. But also, you can be married and have
children and stalk with You can be living together, have
children and stalks with rabbits. It's about knowing what each
(25:54):
other really wants.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
And I know you to say you can be happily
loved and commit without having the marriage certificate.
Speaker 6 (26:02):
I know you disagree with.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Not a lot of people, not at all, it's just
about your values and where the marriage is important to you.
And it was to me, but it might not be
to and you didn't want to get marriage for AGENTSSU
mean the institution of marriage. Yeah, I wanted to commit
to someone and to publicly sort of say that in
front of my friends and family, and that was important
to me.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Yeah, to promise that to someone.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Yeah, I guess that's just.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
That really does depend if that that kind of that
is part of what your knowledge base is, you know,
and if it's not, it's that's.
Speaker 6 (26:31):
Fine to it.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
And it must have been for you because you then
got married, right.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Yeah, for me, marriage kind of grew on me. Like
I was like, I wasn't I wasn't a huge It
was never a huge priority for me. I kind of
made the commitment without having the certificate. But then when
I got married, I was like, this is awesome. I
actually liked it way more than I thought I want,
you know, and it's not only the party. The party
was fantastic, like and it really did cement our relationship.
(26:55):
Everyone's celebrating that that kind of that that that relationship
and it and it made a lot. So I didn't
really understand marriage until I got married. I mean, and
it doesn't have to be expen's the cost. No, you
could do, honestly, something in the backyard, a bit of
a barbecue, some hot dogs on a plate, some pizza's
passed around. As long as you're with your good people,
make those promises in front.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Of get the people that are saying though, expense gets
in the way, because I do think there over time
there has become an expectation that marriages do cost a lot,
which I think is sad that that is the only
reason people putting people off.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Yes, maybe maybe we need to in those respects, we
need to lower expectations on what we e speak from
a wedding. But you throw it out there and you
put it out there to your friends, and you don't
want to be the person that has this thinkest.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
Wedding, do you? Yeah, says you're saying. But for your
real mates, it's all about that. I think.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
I think there has been a bit of a flip
to parate back because I think everything goes ott and then.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Comes back right.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
A lot of people.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Texting with Linda's text in and said I'm fifty seven,
never married, no children, have not met my true love.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
Yeah, and that's worth waiting for.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
But that makes me think Linda is still looking for it.
So good on you, London. Don't even know when it's
going to come along.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Happened at the least when you least expected as well.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
You know that was last week that banana duct taped
to the wall sold at art auctions for six and
a half million dollars. Well this mornings and the news
are plain white blank canvas.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
Is going up for auction.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
They're expecting one and a half million dollars for a
blank piece of canvas from a nineteen seventies artist.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
The world has gone mad.
Speaker 11 (28:22):
It really has.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Well, speaking of artists, they got together back in nineteen
seventy eight. The songs are still played and celebrated all
over the world. So Andy McCluskey, who wrote these songs,
why do you think the songs you wrote have stood
the test of time?
Speaker 9 (28:49):
Thank you very much? Do you know what I think?
To be honest, we wrote melodies in and it doesn't
matter what language. The keyboard melodies are international. So I
think maybe that was that was a large part of it.
But I try not to overanalyze it too much. I
might end up going down to Cold de Sac.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
What do you think about coming to New Zealand? Are
you a big fan of the place?
Speaker 9 (29:15):
Oh my, you have no idea. We have been desperate
to come back. Do you know by the time we
get back next year it will be almost thirty eight years.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
Unforgivable it is, and I do apologize to every single
person in New Zealand. We are coming back to rectify
that oversight. And yeah, we're really looking forward to I mean,
we had such happy memories of the one and only
time we've been to New Zealand before, so we're finally
coming back and we cannot wait.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Can you please share those memories. What did you do
through the years ago that made you so fond of
New Zealand.
Speaker 9 (29:51):
Well, first of all, the landscape is stunning. We didn't
we didn't even get to the South Island last time,
and we still thought New Zealand looked amazing, that people
were incredible, and without sounding like I was saying the
wrong thing, it kind of reminded me. I felt like
I was back in the I Spy Book of British
Cars nineteen sixty eight. There was all these old British
(30:14):
cars still on the road.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
Now it might have changed normally come from Asia.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Now you're going to be backing the Southland when you
come make in next year, which we can't wait for.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
Now, think about this again.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Over forty million album Cells described as one of the
most influential synth pop bands in history. Orchestral maneuvers in
the dark OMD have inspired many artists across the verse.
John Genres, Now, the thing about you, Indy is you
didn't just do OEMD. Tell us about this mess of
other successful group you are behind.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
Well. When I finally decided to hang my microphone up
and decided that maybe it was time to stop, I
was conceited enough to think I could still write songs
and maybe it was just a vehicle that was considered
past it Cell by date. So I invented a three
piece girl band called Atomic Kitten and wrote their first
album for them, wrote Hole Again, which I'm very proud of.
(31:05):
You couldn't get more different from Kitten, but it was
great fun.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Do you catch out with the Kittens match?
Speaker 9 (31:14):
Actually? Yeah, I speak to Kerry quite a lot. She's
just about to be an ugly sister in pantomime this Christmas?
Speaker 6 (31:23):
Can you please for the.
Speaker 9 (31:24):
Seventeen year old. But I met all those years ago.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
So Amy Mcluskey from OMD, can you please promise us
when you come to New Zealand next to you across
the summer? Three places across the summer. I haven't been
even nearly forty years. As well as your amazing songs
that were in movies like Pretty and Pink, can you
please do an Atomic Kitten song on stage?
Speaker 6 (31:40):
No Jesus different, it's not.
Speaker 9 (31:47):
It's not going to happen. I couldn't sing their songs
as well as.
Speaker 6 (31:51):
