  Speaker 1: Coast Breakfast brought to you by Bargain Chemist Their Policy

  Speaker 1: New Zealand's Cheapest Chemist.

  Speaker 2: Tony Jason Sam's Fair Good Breakfast, Can't Sharp podcast.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: We need to talk about Dutchess County because that is
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: where we are now. And I think the biggest surprise
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: for me, and I suspect a lot of Kiwis would
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: have the same mentality is when I thought of New York,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I thought of the sky rises, Broadway, Manhattan, very densely populated.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: What I hadn't really thought about is that New York
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: State itself is much much bigger, and outside of that
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: city where most people actually live, especially if they've got families,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: it's actually more like New Zealand than you think. So
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many times we have said on
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: our journeys here in Dutchess County, oh my goodness, this
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: is so much like Arrow Tawners, very much like Central Otago.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and climate wise as well.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's the same time a year where whether
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: leeds change color, we've got yellows, we've got the oranges,
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: but this bright reads and amongst it as well.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: These guys take whether to a different level.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Though we walked over a bridge yesterday that went over
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: the Hudson River and that actually freezes over to the
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: point that historically, so these days as things warm up,
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: but you used to be able to ice skate up
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: the river and you could actually travel up the river
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: all the way to Canada.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's really nice. They do this thing.
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: It's like the Hudson River Trail, but it's the New
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: York Empire State Trail the Court, so you could pretty
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: much ride your bike if you want to from New
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: York to Canada.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they've done it so well.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: That is one of the things that we think New
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Zealand should adopt, and we are going to talk about
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: that later at seven forty today. All the things that
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: we've found here that Keyweeds need to get on board with.
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: But honestly, if you're thinking about a trip to New
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: York Dutchess, can't they put it on your list because
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: it's just every picture postcard and you're only an hour
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: and a half out of Manhattan. You can catch the
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: train and then look up and you were in a
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: whole different part of it.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: A quaint, little beautiful towns with lovely shocking and just
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: family owned businesses is lovely.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Don't limit yourself to the city, that is the message.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: But you we're wrong.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: The city's pretty impressive, tot. You are that last stage
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: in life, because I know I definitely am. We're taking
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: photos of things, maybe reading a menu or something, taking
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: photos and then enlarging the photo of just taken to
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: read the thing.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: James. Maybe you need glasses. Oh yeah, I'm supposed to
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: wear them.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I think there's that transition where you kind of resist
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: it for a while. And we have a really good solution.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: And this was actually recommended to us by one of
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: our travel guides here, Jeanette, And she was getting out
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: her phone quite a lot every time at dinner, and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: we're like, why is she getting out of her phone
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and kind of analyzing the menu like that? Or what
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: she was doing. She was using an app called Magnifier.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Which is it's basically it uses the camera on your
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: phone and the lights on your phone as well, and
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: it is an old schooled magnifier.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: It works beautifully.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: And so she holds it over the menu and a
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: dark restaurant, all of a sudden it's lit and it's giant.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: It's easy to read, and you zoom it in. You
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: can zoom it into one single letter if you wanted. Yeah,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: you can get right in there. Close.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: And I think the best indicator of whether or not
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: you need the Magnifier app on your phone is what
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: is the font on your phone?
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Are you still on the original font of your phone?
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Or if you told your phone to give me a
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: bigger font? No, I'm still on the original original I'm
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: not sure if I am on off? Can I have
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: a look at your phone? Yeah? Right, you can make
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: it a lot larger? Yeah, phone? Like, is that is
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: that text normal? Your original font? Okay?
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: But if you're looking at if you've struggling to read
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: your own phone.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: Now that the app is called the Magnifying App, we
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: didn't know anything about it, but this Magnifying app is magnificent.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: A few days out from Label Weekend, just days away now,
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: and don't forget this weekend. It's the coast double shot across.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: Label Weekend starts at six on Saturday morning, and we
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: could be in a bit of a rain soaked weekend,
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: that's what they're saying.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: So I tell you what to turn the radio up on.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: iHeart Radio's could be great.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I want you to think now about the last time
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: that you snapped at someone or you were a little
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: bit short.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Do you remember that yesterday? No, no, this isn't directed
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: at you.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: But if you want to admit your failings right now,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: that's fine, so you can. It's all out views. This
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: is therapy.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: I've got I've got videos of all of us being
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: a little bit tipchy, just because you know what I'm filming.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: You're not filming yourself, which is constant. Well, no, we'll
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: go back through the vision.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: You can't remember anything because you can cast through. I
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: don't think I've been titching on the strip. One person
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: has because of the camera.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: You know, you come to film a show and you're
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: not let to flow your droning you. There are rules
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: for a reason, young man.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: There are laws anyway, there might be a reason for it.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: So overstimulation is what we need to talk about. So
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: apparently a lot of the times when we become short,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: it's because we have been over stimulated in a very
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: short space of time. So I want you to think
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: about if you are a parent or a grandparent and
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you've ever tried to get your kids out the door
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: in the morning to get to school. Activity Right now,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: The reason you snap at them often isn't necessarily because
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: they are dragging the chain, and look, that's a valid reason,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: but it's because you're overstimulated. Because in the short space
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: of time you have a coffee stimulation, your alarm clock
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: goes off, stimulation you are eating that stimulates the body.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: You might be checking your phone, having a look at
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the news. Now, all of those things are fine, but
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: when they are condensed in a very short space of
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: time I'm talking perhaps half an hour, sometimes to an hour,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: that is where neurologically the problems begin.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: You see this with young kids as well, like I mean,
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: that's why they start warning about screen time. You watch
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: like anyone under the age of say fifteen, if they're
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: on a screen and you try to get them off
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: the screen, and parents and grandparents you know this. You
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: try to get the kids off the screen. Their behavior
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: is so different for the next probably ten fifteen minutes
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: after that.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Do you want me to tell you the science behind it.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: When you're overstimulated, your prefrontal cortex goes offline. So this
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: is the part of your brain responsible for rational decision
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: making basically shuts down and that's when you sat I
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: love how they're.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Talking about overstimulization, and then they use like a computer
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: term like offline to describe it.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: So here's the process.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: When we're stressed out, the prefrontal cortex goes from reflective
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and irrational to reactive. And in these conditions, your brain's
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: not thinking about maintaining relationships or effectively solving problems.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Instead it's fan a gingg. Yeah, of course it's quite
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: a flight mode. How do you avoid it?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Quite easily? Okay, so yourself in a room, we just
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: cut down the stimulation in that morning. Okay, so give
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: yourself a nicer alarm clock, maybe waste to have your coffee.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I know that can have another effect of I can't
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: do this like rational deep sorrow, so it.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Will be miserable and grumpy. Yeah, we'll just leave it there.
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: On the road in New York and you can do
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: this exact traveled USA, New Zealand's only specialized company putting
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: together amazing trips for Kiwis to go around use America.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: There's all on our website at Coast Online dot co
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: dot in z.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: And when you're in America, of course, the food is incredible,
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: the drinks are You've got to have a Long Island
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: ze tea. On Long Island, you gotta have a Manhattan
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: or a Cosmo bullet in Manhattan.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Well you can't have apparently it's grapefruit.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Well, this is where the problem started. We were at
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the end of a very long day and it's a
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Of a treat. We decided to get a cocktail.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: And producer Rosie and I were looking at the list
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: together and we both settled on the same drink, and
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I as the forty one year old here when yep,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: that sounds good to meet order young people these days
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: they're a bit more fastidious. And she's going through every
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: ingredient in the cocktail, going will I like this, how's.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: The pairing going to go?
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: And then the way it goes away starts making our
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: drink and she just looks at me with a look
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: of horror and she goes, oh, I can't drink this cocktail.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Why And she said, oh, it's got greape fruit in it.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: And I thought initially when she said I can't drink
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: this cocktail, I thought it had dairy in it. She's
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: got a bit of an intolerance day, and I thought, oh,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: she better get up there and change it.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: When I heard it was grapefruit. I was like, why
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: on earth is she doing that? Now?
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I remember hearing this too about the same age, young,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: that it can interact with your contraceptive.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Pill, right, grapefruit care. Yeah, I have never heard that, chase,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: where have you been pregnant? It was quite a young dad, and.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I remember hearing this, and I remember, as a younger
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: person thinking, oh gosh, because you know, when you don't
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: want to have a child earlier, you are doing everything
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: you can to avoid it. And then as you get
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: a bit older, I can't. I don't know, you roll
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the dice a bit more. You're like, oh, well I've
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: got my husband, now I have a child earlier than
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I'm going.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: To eat that grapefruit.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: But I just thought, oh, it's an.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Old wive's tale, like does it really actually affect you?
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: And producer Rosie went on to say that all her
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: friends are like, oh no, they are they are stay clear. Well,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I've googled it, and it turns out that the chances
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: of you falling pregnant because well what happens is the
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: grapefruit can block drug absorption.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Right, But it sounds like the chances are very, very
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: very small.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: You have to be a prolific grapefruit eater. You have
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: to be one of those people, because did you do
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: this when you're a kid. You'd slice a grape fruit
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: in half and pour sugar on the top of it.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Now eat out the little quarts of grapefruit.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: But you used to serrated knife and you went all
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: around that each individual settment, aimful process, But what.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: A wonderful like you consume great fruit anymore?
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I had them so often because my nan on our
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: farm had a grapefruit tree and it was a regular.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Breakfast for us. Yeah, me too.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: And you say that that doesn't block the pearl, and
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: it's very unlikely. But show you what back in the
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: day when we're all eating grapefruit families.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying I think the chance is low. But
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: I don't want you to take this as like word.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: We're not a family planning.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: We won't put that out of Just run the die,
• 9:54

  Speaker 3: Jason's trying to say, at some point, you do get
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: tired of shopping? The days along? Yeah, we're not so
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: much each other. I don't know. Well, I don't think so,
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: you guys any second now?
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: So the days along and we snatched these moments and
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: Semini the other day while everyone's out shopping, we thought,
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: you know what, I feel like a quiffy and everyone
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: gets the Starbucks, right, we though, let's get a course.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: About the coffee man. It was just about getting out
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: of the shops. I always I thought it was about
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: quality time with Jay Dizzel. I always love quality time.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Said here has been an exceptional formulist. He's made me
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: the whole time. We nipped away and we women got
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: we had a half an hour and was like, there's
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: no way we're going to be late this time. So
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: we nipped away for a Starbucks and we had a
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: half an hour to get old drinks and then get
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: back to the meeting point.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: And we walked in there and the guy said, what
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: name should we put with this order?
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: This is after I'd once again blow my calorie count
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: for like a six hundred calory and coffee.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I ordered the pumpkin Larte with extra cream and map
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: the kid's birthday party with a terrible frap too.
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: So the days long and maybe you're not thinking, I
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: don't know, what do you lead us to the decision?
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: So the guy says to us what names we put
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: it under?
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: And I said, John, it's been a smart I don't
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: know why.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Then I looked down and his name was John, and
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: he said John, and here John, And then he was like,
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: all right, John's you go there, we'll get your coffee
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: to you.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: You said your name was John as well. We got
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: pulled into it, got pulled.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: So anyway up on the board, we looked out waiting
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: for our coffee, and there was about fourteen John's on
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: the board.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: Good one houses I don't know, so we had to
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: wait there and John got called, gets called another John,
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: all these other John's getting called for their coffees and.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: We didn't know what's so the only way we're get
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: to decipher which was our coffee was to watch them
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: make our coffee.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: So now we're loitering around the coffee makers.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: Leading of the shelf, watching them looking for some pumpkin
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: frapper mits going into my particularly flamboy coffee.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: And here's a tip.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: If you're going to be fools and play tricks, don't
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: choose one of the most common names in the world.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: Right So it was thankfully when Sam's won arrived at
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: Headly Sparkler that was lip.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: And to cut a long story short, we were late
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: to the pickup.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Your daily feel good breakfast catch up podcast with Costs
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Tony Jason, Sam, we.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Drove through the Hamptons.
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: While we're in New York and the Hamptons everyone knows
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: about the Hampton's right eighty nine million dollar homes.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: It's surprising the amount of castles and mansions here. And
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: that's one of the things that I would suggest if
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: you come to New York that you do in the
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: greatest state of New York, because you go and check
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: them out. I'm gonna be honest. When I saw on
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: our itinerary mentioned to it, I was a little bit like,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: is this going to be a highlight? And then we
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: got there and just learning the history and seeing how
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the other half live has been a real highlight.
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Because, I mean, the families that had these beautiful
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: mansions back in the day were very wealthy and they
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: were of high influence and with that comes incredible backstories,
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: but also incredible lifestyles.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: The way these people lived.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: With twenty five people working their property, that had bakery,
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: chefs and all sorts of extravagant positions in order to serve.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: It's that Gilded Age when they were high society and
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: they were trying to tell people that they were. I mean,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: what about the trip when we took the furnamon At
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: boat ride out to Bannaman Island and that is where
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the castle was.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: You had to go by boat just to get to
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: the Yeah.
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: And the cool thing about America is what they did
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: is they restore these and they hold on to them.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: The Banamin one, the one we saw just outside of
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: the Long Island. Oh hic right, the very top of
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: the Long Island, and act she built the hill out
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: of the from the subway to build the hill.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: But do you know what I love about what these
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: castles and mansions represent is the fact that they used
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: to gain influence by socializing. So they would invite people
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: over and have these extravagant parties to show people how
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: wealthy they are.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Look how great our food is. Look how greade our
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: our dining room is.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: You're going to have the most incredible experience at our
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: mansion and our castle because we.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Are the most wealthy and we have the best influence.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Well, it's actually an interesting point you bring up, and
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: we all felt this, right, so you go, oh, ridiculous
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: skilleded age. They had all this opulence, but actually, at
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the heart of it, they spent time together on the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: weekends as a group. And I kind of go, look
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: at us in our modern world where we're all living
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: in little silos, and I think, yes, you don't have
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: to spend as much money as they did. But they
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: were onto something essentially. What they did in their summer houses,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: their weekend houses, is they played sport together all weekend. Yes,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: families and see we can lose something about those old times.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: And they sat down at the table and we were
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: ate together. All their friends are sitting away and running table.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: So honestly, if you get a chance this coming long weekend,
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: the last thing you might want to do is socialize.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: But trust me, it's so good for yourself. And I'm
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: lucky enough to live in a really nice neighborhood where.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: We do that.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: Like I was facetiming my wife the other day and
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: was chatting away and the gate bell rang because some
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: of the neighbors is popping around the afternoon.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: I was like, because it's the weekend. I was like,
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: that's cool.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Instead of just eating your takeaways on the couch like
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: a sloth, maybe just try and.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: Sprowing your favorite outfits and go lass and find some
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: friends of adults.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: Making our way through New York for Tony Streets, big spender,
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: and you can do this trip so you can follow
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: our footsteps. Things to travel us say and their details
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: on our website Coast online dot co dot and said,
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: but when you do this trip, your in and out
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: of hotels quite a bit. And when you're doing something
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: like us, you know, doing the radio show. We've got
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: on our equipment and our bags and our gear and
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: our headphones and everything else. It's really important to have
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: your stuff about you, right. You know where your things are,
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: you know where you're room key is.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: We're living out of our suitcases at the moment, Like
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: we don't even have time to hang anything up. You
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: can't even take it out of the suitcase because then
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: you're all forget.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: We'll charge your phone. And this is what happened to me.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: See, I was caught on a bus and I was
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: run out and run out of charge on my phone.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: I don't need my phone because you know, I use
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: it for a multitude of things. So Rosie had a charger,
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: and with that charger, she had the converter that turns
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: a New Zealand charger into an American plag Very handy.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Rosie, right, so she's here to produce our show. So
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: I borrowed it through the day and I put it
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: back in my bag. I didn't give it back to her.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: And at the end of the day when we got
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: back to our hotels, are for a long day and
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: crime you river. I'm trying to sell this to my
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: wife that this is a tough trip, but she doesn't
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: believe me. It was like eleven eleven thirty at night.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Let's because she keep putting up highlights reels on our
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: social media.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: The.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Real photos.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Eleven thirty at night and in my room, just about
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: to take in a bed and I get a text
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: from Rosie saying do you have my wall charger? I'm like, yes,
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: I do, so I was like, ah, yeah, Majami's put
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: some clothes back.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: I would have stayed in my pj's. I grabbed the
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: charger and I opened the door and I was like,
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: I don't have my Gee card. It shut doors. So
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: I walked down to the Rose.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: I actually take an elivator down to Rosy's room, knocked
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: on the door. She looks at me like, what the
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: hell's wrong with you? I don't have my Geek cards.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: So then I went down to reception. I's like, what
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: you want on this point, at eleven thirty at night
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: after a huge day is to walk down there and
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: just get a key card, walk back into your room
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: and it's you know, we're a five minute mission here.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: I'll walk down there. There's a fourteen person queue. So
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: I sat down there waiting.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: For the checker. And at the hotel for forty five minutes,
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: and then did they look at you and go, he's
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: trying to just break into someone's room. You have your passport.
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: So now I don't have my passport in my room,
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: but I did have my phone, so I managed to
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: show them a picture of my passports and I got
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: back to my room at one thirteen morning.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: You know, those those are the things that can really
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: break you on a trip. And we actually had one
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: of our tour guides here from Duchess County Tourism, Christina,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: had a similar experience, same thing, big long day, finished dinner, wanting.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: To get back to bed.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: She's got two kids and her car wouldn't start last night,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: so you know, but that's all part of the traveler.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Kidden stories. That's right.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: When was the last time you heard someone say, oh,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: how did you meet them? You know, where did you
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: meet your partner? Well, this is an amazing sort of
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: time laps that we're stumbled across, and it starts in
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: nineteen thirty and goes all the way through to present
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: time on the percentage of people and how they meet
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: their loved ones. So back in nineteen thirty, how do
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: you think people met well, basically a good split between
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: family first through family, and I think my parents when
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I think of that, because my mum met my dad
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: at her twenty first and it was because he played
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: golf and met her parents, my nana and granddad through golf.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Family that she met my dad. Number two back in
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the nineteen thirties was through school. Yeah, okay, bearing the
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: high school stethearts we are and number three on the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: list was through friends.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Right, so are friends set them up on a date?
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: And that was that the nineteen thirties family, school, friends,
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: house wholesome.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: That's how we met our partners?
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Should we go to somewhere at midpoint between the nineteen thirties,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: so let's go look nineteen eighty two, say.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's greaties. How we met each other in the eighties.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Well, family's taken a back seat by the eighties, and
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: the overwhelming way people have met their partners is twenty
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: seven percent and that is through friends. So friends become
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: more important than your family connecting and loved one. Co
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: workers starts to push into the top three. So women
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: are working more in the eighties and they were back
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: in the thirties, So suddenly co workers is becoming a
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: place to meet people. Now, that's interesting when you think
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: of modern times's bit of a no no, isn't it?
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: You got the puk balanrue totally.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Another interesting one here is in the nineteen thirties, neighbors
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: was meeting your partner by having a neighbor as eleven percent.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: That's seemed to drop away. What have you got the
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: neighbors out there? So, yeah, love over the fence and yeah,
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: love over the fence.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: By the nineteen nineties has dropped to six percent, So
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: people are sleeping with their neighbors less.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah in the nineties. Maybe I don't know.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: So what we're seeing here is friendships in the nineties
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: mid nineties is still the number one way to meet people,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: but coworkers has bumped up to number two. It was three,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: and family is way down at number five. Bars and
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: restaurants starts to feature as the third place that people
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: meet in the mid nineties. Wow, so we go through
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: to the mid two thousands. Okay, so we're going to
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: pass through into the early two thousands. Same goes friends,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: co workers, bars and restaurants.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: That's amazing. Coworkers and bars and restaurants are on a parteah, okay,
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: here we go.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Now, Suddenly a new way of meeting people pings into
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: our consciousness, and that is see early two thousands.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: It's not there, it's starting to ping up. By about
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: two thousand and seven.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Online meeting people suddenly becomes the second most prolific way of.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Meeting rents out of know where com in two thousand
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: and nine. Now and it's second on the list.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Let's wait, we're tacking through twenty twelve, it takes over
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: online as the most prolific way to meet your partner.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then if we go all the way to
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: ender this graph in twenty twenty four, it is a
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: staggering example of how powerful online media is. Sixty percent
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: of all relationships start online and the next best on
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: the list is friends.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: At thirty and then co workers has diminished right down
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: to just eight percent.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: This is a no, no, no now.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: But there's a great story in Our Lovely Day show
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: host Lorna met her new fiance Mike earlier this year,
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: only a few months ago, on an online dating app
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: and now they're engaged and I love that.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: And you can read that story at enzid hero dot com.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: By the way, what's by the way.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: What will be interesting in another ten years, are we
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: going to see an increase of over sixty percent? Never
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: has there been one singular way that has dominating since
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: through all these decades.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, whatever it takes.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: You know, Look, it sounds really negative because you know,
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: it seems so where that we live our entire lives online.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: But least in twenty twenty four we're only only one
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: point two percent of us are sleeping with our neighbors.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that was falling away.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: You can get five thousand dollars coast cash for Christmas.
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: All you have to do is basically tell us the
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: songs to make you feel really good, all the songs
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: you're not so keen on six the word music to
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: two six nine nine.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: We text a bit of the details and you.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: Can win five thousand dollars cash for Christmas, which is
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: now just two months away.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: We need to talk a little bit of politics now,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: because if you're a city councilor if you're a mayor,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: or if you're a member of the government, I hope
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: you're listening to this because we have some tips on
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: what we could learn from New York things that we
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: would like adopted.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Do you want to start with your sad when you.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: Talk politically that I want to drop the pub could
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: be if I just want to talk about bridges and infrastructure.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: To be honest, I want to come down on counselors.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: Not to name any names, but Chris Darbian retalded.
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: Because okay, first of all, when you need an underground network,
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: that's what we need.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: We need trains underground under our city, and we need
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: to do it one hundred years ago.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: I think it's too late. It's too late, isn't it.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: No, it is.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: That's the problem.
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: It's the thing when New Zealand writes to it, not
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: that we want to come down to New Zealand. There
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: are so many amazing things and honestly I am missing home.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: I love New Zealand and when we come to digging
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: those holes and making that they're awesome.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: One.
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: You know that everyone's hearing about the wolf and train thing,
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: it's's a loop around the middle of the city.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Well, while you're talking about Auckland, the first thing that
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: needs to change is the fact that no, we're talking
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: about what's good about New York.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: No.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: Well, what we saw yesterday was the bridge over the Hub.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: You know, what I mean, which is a walking bridge
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: and a cycling bridge. Now, the first thing that we
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: need to do is build one of those right next
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: to the harbor original Auckland I think yes.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: And then already that's already been floated, remember, and that
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: needs to happen.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: But do you know what I think I've worked out
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: of the problem. It's the Chelsea Sugar Works that has
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: to go.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: But it does.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: It does look I like it, but it's the only
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: boat that goes under the harbor bridge we have. We
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: are building these massive high bridge for sugar.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Okay, it's got a very nice cafe, have you not?
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: And a great playground. What a high line? Can we
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: talk about the high Line in New York City?
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: So the high Line was an old railway that is
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: elevated above the ground so that you can walk amongst
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: the buildings and still get the planted greenery around it.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: And Jose, when you and I were walking there together,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: we were thinking about locations where that could be in
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: New Zealand, not.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: Just Awk, but you know you could do that right
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: across I say, for example, Queen's down through the Arrowtown.
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: Imagine walking there, you ride your bike across there. If
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: you want to that there or even across like not
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: to do this.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Amazing cycle lane from cueiyound up above.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: Though through there, but you can walk across the canopy
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: of amazing help ocean cycle.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Right perspective, I get it, Yes, thank you.
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: A lot to do through the Redwoods, like a little
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: bit higher with those amazing David Truebridge lights through the forest,
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: that sort of walkwayere we could ride your bike, take
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: the kids for water, the dog for walk, that.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Sort of thing.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: We do it in New Zealand, but we do it
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: kind of as an attraction as opposed to a means
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: to get somewhere. And if we did that through even
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: if it was through Wellington or Auckland City, just having
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: that higher perspective, and it's a way to plant and
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: bring greenery in. And they do what they've done it
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: for is they've repurposed old train tracks. Yeah.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: I think in that people love to walk and neander
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: through areas. That's exactly right. Yeah, some some of the
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: things they do really well in America.
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: I think the New Zealand we should we should really
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: embrace this the patriotism and it's not just for you,
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: like every second house is going a flag on the
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: front porch here. But it's the way they support their teams.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: But you know, there are Warriors fans could teach us
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: a thing or two. There are some hardcore Warriors fans
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: wouldn't lose. But fit's a small group and some of
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: like I guess, bear Weather fans.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping that this Auckland FC football team is going
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: to be a little like the Warriors and the fact
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: that they were able to sell out the stadium and
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: have all the merch also, and they're already I think
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: we just need to get a bit more passionate and
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: a bit more excited about things.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it as passionately.
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: You know, Americans sou good excited because they'll get up,
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: they'll stay at their feet, they'll slap you on the back,
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: and they'll clap and cheer for anything.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: They're really excitable. We needed and pumpkin bear. I like
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: pumpkin beer.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: As well, and just on pumpkins, we also need pumpkins
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: on each doorstep at Halloween.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Th hekays, why do we not grow giant pumpkins? What's
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: wrong with us? I love New Zealand, but our pumpkins

• 26:39
  Speaker 5: our website Coast online dot co dot in z. When
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: you do the trip, you get to go to some
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: of these gilded mansions and castles where they have these
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: big dining rooms and they sat down and they played
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: sports together on the weekends, and they sat down and
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: they got to the ballroom at eight pm for their
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: twelve course dinner.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: And we heard that we're at eight pm. That's a
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: late start. Yeah, But it turns out, and you might
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: have seen this.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: This has been in the news recently that New Zealand
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: are among the earliest diners in the world. And we've
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: been kind of trying to unpack that and understand why.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: And I'll put my hand up and I will say
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I love an early dinner. And we know Dietitian wise
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: it's the best thing for you, because they say that
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: you should take time for your food to diegest before
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: you sleep. But going back to that gilded mansion, we
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: were at APM was dinner, right, and then that was
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: just when they were announced, and then they sat down
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: and they had dinner, and then the ladies in the
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the ladies and the men split off and ladies.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: Went to the drawing room, men went to the whiskey room.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: And then after that they then joined back together for
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: the entertainment that were starting at midnight.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: There starting at midnight, like who are these people?
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: And sometimes they even had the kids playing piano, Like
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: what were the kids doing up at midnight?
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what they're doing.
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: And in New Zealand, and you just said, it came
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: out a little while ago that New Zealand are one
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: of the most earliest diners in the world. And so
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: when people come to New Zealand they look around and go,
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: why is everything closed at nine pm?
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Who've had our dinner? We're home now sleep? Is that
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: bad time? Are we missing out on you know? Are
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: we losing half of our lives?
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Are we're losing our evenings because we're I mean, we
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: have dinner at five or five thirty at our place.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: We got three kids, you know what I think it is? Though,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: we are a nation of early rises as well. Oh
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: you think, absolutely, You're right. People that die late, they
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: sleep until ten. And I think because we are such
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: a sporty, active nation, often we're getting up because we're
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: going for a walk or are going for a run,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: or we're getting into our day because we're going kayaking,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: or you know, even on holiday.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: But not even that, though you look at the times
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: our shops open, like our stores and our malls and
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: things are open by eight thirty nine, whereas you know,
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: it's say, for example, we're in New York, A lot
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: of places aren't open till like ten, maybe eleven in
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: the morning.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Here, Yeah, did that ten am opening time? Yeah? I
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: guess with that, right, are we missing that socializing time?
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: You know? If we're getting up early to do our exercise.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: Are we missing that kind of we all sit down
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: and have that community and sit down and eat together.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I think we socialize through our sport. Though normally you
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: meet someone for a walk or a run. I don't know,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: but I don't think you'd want to socialize with me
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: at ten PM, I am no good to anyone.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Already drowsy people just catching up for dinner. Like I said,
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: we book a table for eight and nine on one
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Stephen start of the first Dining Club or whatever.
• 29:15

• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Beautiful Drive and yeah, we've done this with mixed extreme
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: tiredness with a few cocktails, haven't we? And then we

• 31:13
  Speaker 5: As horrendous as that may have sounded to you, like,

  Speaker 3: James was loving a big beaming smile on his face.
• 31:36

  Speaker 5: Travel USA put together the deal coast online dot co
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: dot into the details.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: We all have that friend, don't we a slightly gassy
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: friend that relieves themselves.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: At inappropriate times? Or is that just us? The hairs
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: of read like that. You don't know what it's to
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: do with hard fun. If you don't get assaulted in
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: the nostrils, this is have bottoms. But guess what, we
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: don't talk about our farting. You're just talking about my farting.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Now we have to we have to address because I'm
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: starting to think you might have a condition.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: I have done one fart and I've done one vocal
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: fart in five days. You haven't heard you get assulted
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: in the nostrils or sometimes he will walk away to
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: give you your you know your time.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: It says here that unpleasant gas and bloating are simply
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: biological functions at every person and animal.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: You're an animal I have to deal with at times.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: But there is a point where the gas or bloating
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: could be associated with other symptoms and it may be
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: cause for concern. And I'm just starting to worry about you.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: So I just wanted to go through the seven checklists.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Just to be sure. We can go through a checklist.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: That's fine, but I instead of bracing you should look
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: at the glass half full kind of side of this
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: and go, man, he's got a racing metabolism.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's any association between gas and matibili.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, working hard, all right, just go through the check
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: And this was for anyone else that has a friend
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: in this sphere.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: Maybe your friend has the decency not to talk about it.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Constipational bloody stools no, okay, good, because I tell you why.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: I know that because the very okay, you've all, you've
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: all thought about your own morning.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: This diary.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: No, never intritional deficiencies or anemia do you have? Here?
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: We go prolonged periods of bloating or gas not really
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: a long period of bloating. I was like, it looks
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: like a bloat.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: If this scarce is lasting longer than ten to fourteen days,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: you need to let your doctor know.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: And I'm here, I'm going to call your doctor. He
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: has issued espect prolong now for forty three years.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: We know this isn't true feeling full after a couple
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: of bites of food or loss of appetite. You've got
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: the opposite problem over here, cramping or abdominal pain, nausea
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: or quality. That's the last one. So you only took
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: one of the seven. So I think you're okay.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: You just learned animal. You just now need more manners
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: not to talk about it.
• 34:34
  Speaker 8: My favorite, my favorite thing about that, let's get it
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: all dawned on you. About the American doyalists. It's a
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: lot of it's a lot.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: That's a lot anyway, especially eating one. But I'm so
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: sorry by there.
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: So we've taken Theresa and her daughter to New York
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: spend ten thousand dollars. One of the first places you've
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: got to go is Fifth Avenue, and there's a wonderful
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: place called Tiffany and Co.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: You know, the one.
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: You can actually do breakfast at Tiphanyes. They have a
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: little cafe there, but it's really exclusive when you got
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: a book.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's so exclusive that you can only fit
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: six people on the bar and then there's only a
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: few tables in Sex. We've been a bit shocked by
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: the size of things in general. Even Broadway. The theater
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: we were in with the top Broadway show and actors
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: only had eight hundred seats. Yeah, and to put that
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: in perspective, the Matilda show I've just been at had
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: thirteen hundred.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: Yes, you know in New Zealand, yes, right, I think
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: of Broadway has been enormous, quite intimate.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: So you go to Tiffany and Co.
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: And it's the one you know, if you see some
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: Tiffany jewelry, you might see Fifth Avenue stamped on it
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: because it's been around.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: And they have a ring called the eighteen thirty seven ring,
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: which is like the iconic ring. The first thing you
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: see is the box, the little blue the little blue box.
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: That's right, So it's all kind of a iconic. And
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: so that ring signifies the year that that building was
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: built in New York. That's when they swung those doors open,
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: eighteen thirty seven, the year before the Treaty of White
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: Tongue was even signed.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: And they have security yards up the wazoo here because
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: inside they have a lot of money camp by jewelry.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Literally you can't buy it. So remember there was that
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: diamond that only four women in the entire world had
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: ever worn.
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: So it's called the Tiffany Diamond. It's sixty million dollars
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: worth if you could ever try to buy it. And
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: you're right, So the only people who have worn it
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: was an American socialite years ago. Then Audrey Hepburn has
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: worn it, Then Lady Gaga has worn it, and the
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: last woman to wear it was Beyonce.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: It shouldn't been one of those four women. It's just
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: so bizarre.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: Well, I think what's more bizarre about it is there's
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: a sixty million dollar diamond just been hung from the wall.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: You know, just sitting there.
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: And they have the Audrey Hepburn lounge a room, and
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: so you go. Then you see the dress that she
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: will in that iconic movie, and they keep playing on
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: loop when she gets out of the cab and stands
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: in front of Tiffany and Co. That very shop and
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: this is amazing there and then the necklace they had
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: built for her. I'd say built because it's a massive
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: piece of jeweler and.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: All the dress she was wearing looks like it was
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: made of metal.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: We showed them though, didn't we, guys? Because what they
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: do when you're at Tiffany's and Co.
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: They tried to lure you into making a purchase bay
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: but looking after you, and they bring you, you know,
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: effervescent water, They bring you coffees, and then that is
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: meant to coerci into buying something.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: We didn't buy a thing, but drank me a coffee.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I sat down and I had that classic experience where
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: I sat down and I said, oh, can I just
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: look at some tiny diamond studs. She came and she
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: pulled out the eight thousand US dollar starts and she's thinking,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: do I look the kind of person that's going to
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: buy fifth New Zealand fifteen thousand dollars starts right now?
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: And my dragway hold me with all the lots of sugar,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: and I said, I think I'll think about it.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: I don't feel like spending forty four thousand dollars a day.
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: So steering on the barrel of label weeking in this
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: week and of course the big thing that's happening is Armageddon,
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: where all of the big stars are going to be there,
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: including Jason Mamula. It is apparently going to be at
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: Armageddon this coming weekend.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Actually, here in the New York they had Comic Con,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: so we saw lots of people dressed up as like
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Spider Man and Wonder Woman just walking around.
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we saw a Spider Man trying to buy an
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: ice cream with a Spider Man mask.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: He put this hoodie on because he needs a good lunch. Yeah,
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: there are a fruity bunch the comic con.
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: You know we missed other and comic com My friend
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: Anthea messes me from Cristians also to Wenington, and she said,
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: you know what, the entire cast of Outlander are at
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: Common Con in New York.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: So Jamie was there. Maybe what's his last name?
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Ji hused that Jamie anyway, speaking of good looking men,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Jeremy Jordan, who is the biggest Broadway star here. I
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: mean apart from the q Jackmans and the actors.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: But he is the Broadway star. He is the great
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: gets and got a first up she saw from it
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: flattened with me when we lined up.
• 38:43

• 38:47
  Speaker 1: which she should look up. By the way, on Spotify
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: he talks about Daisy and the Gatsby. So we were like, next,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: see them in the flesh. What we thought initially people
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: were lining up to go to the show again. They
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: were lining up to catch a glimpse of the actors
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: and actresses. And we actually saw Eve I'm the leading
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: lady as well. And then we saw Jeremy And wasn't
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: here a sweetee nice guy? I believe Sam and I

• 39:10
  Speaker 4: a little you know, you see him up on stage

• 39:39
  Speaker 1: thought was a magnificent choice. Right.
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: You can tell something was going on because the Secret
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: Service agents for like a day or so beforehand, started
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: hanging out in the lobby and then they started shutting.
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: Like you closed the streets around any town in New Zealand,
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: it's a pain in the bum. You close the streets
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: in Manhattan, and now you said you've got a massive

  Speaker 1: famous rapper, like I'm talking three and a half million

  Speaker 1: followers on social media, and we saw him in the
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: flesh and there was this big, burly security guard and Sam,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: you had your camera with you and you tried to
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: peep your head into the library where he was filming.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: And I was seriously worried for you. That security guard
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: was not cracking a smile.
