Speaker 1 (00:00):
Coast Breakfast brought to you by Bargain Chemist their policy
New Zealand's cheapest Chemist.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Tony Jason Sam's feel Good Breakfast Can't Shut podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
And we are in New York and we've met us
to get right to the very top of New York
and last night we drove into Niagara Falls. But it
has been a long trip to get to this point.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
It sure has. We need to talk about traveling on
the run because you might have done this. Maybe you
were a backpacker, maybe you are someone that bounces between hotels.
I give you eight hotels and ten days, and I say,
oh my goodness, that is.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Hard, is it? It's something I've given THEE before either.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
And it's a weird thing, like you know, you pack
a bag to use the stuff in your bag, but
when you get to the hotel, it's say eleven eleven
thirty at night, and you're out again five the next morning.
Type thing you pick out, Basically you tough it back.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I had to wash my I washed my underwear and
socks in the Synk class night. That's where at that
is where I have never done that in forty one
years of life. I've always just and I saw a
launch bag here. We're staying at the Double Tree Hilton
in Niagara, and I looked at the laundry bag and went, oh,
they've got a laundry bag. And I'm like, you're checking
out at five am. That is not going to be
(01:09):
that fast.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Two day process there.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
Wow, you've got to be conservative if you only where
I'm only up to P five so.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
The absolutely seas.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Last night we got off the bus and we took
one hundred meter to walk down the down the path
towards what was a roaring, roaring meg, wasn't it.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Canyon of water is like pouring in.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Now that What was even more like, not that the
falls were impressive, is on the other side of the falls.
And I didn't know this. I knew that the top
of New York State boarded Canada, but I didn't think
we would literally see the high risers right there. You
could see the word casino on the building. It is
on the back of the You could have heard.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
It with a nine nine, couldn't you?
Speaker 5 (01:50):
You guess the goalall that spread across and the cheeky buggers,
the Canadians, what they do? You turn up and then
you get pained by you've arrived in Canada. We have
uploaded a DUTA package your phone for thirty dollars. So
they've just got everyone that comes into see the falls
scoring thirty bucks on a data view.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
And that's the greatest scam of all time.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
You know what's also cheeky iss On the American side
where we are, it's all kind of looks like conservation
land and so these like no buildings really, and then
on the Canadian side like high rises, you know.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
All these big flash hotels. So that's the thing I thought.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I thought, Okay, across the river you probably see get
some meadows, some fields and panics and stuff last year,
but it was a city ride, credible jungle.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Canadian haang I can I just say that the lighting
that they cast upon it, it's these these massive square
lights that cast orange and then red and then blue
and then green across the falls, and it all bounces
off the mist that comes off these giant war and waterfalls.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
It is a sight too old at night.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Get there, samse before you rock up there and you
hear the roaring and you're like, okay, the water must
be right there, and you see the spray lifting up
and you just can't wait to see where that spray
is coming from.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
And it does not disappoint.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Those a little, not little, those giant bodies of water
that just fall off the cliff right beside.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
You are literally on the precipice of the waterfall.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I would take Hooker Falls if you've ever been to
Hooker Falls in New Zealand, and I times it by
about fifty's.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
There's a grundy little bugger and that's where you're at.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
But it's it's but it's definitely the David Tour of Waterfalls,
a the hook.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Analogy. Actually, now we're sitting here on the border between
the States and Canada. We're ride up the top right
by Niagara Falls. That's all that's separating us from the Canadians,
and that is why we feel so affronted by this
story coming out today. Now you might know this guy.
His name is Peter Early. He has a nickname of
(03:50):
Early Pete, and he's all over social media.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
He's a name.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Things he came up with himself. He's a Canadian chef
and what he has done is he he looks at
meals and he looks at snacks all around the world
and he says whether he likes them or not listen
to this. He is dissing our spaghetti and cheese toasty.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
New Zealand has been lying to us all Oh, they
claim to the public to be serving seasonal ingredients and
local produce.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
That's true.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Explain this a New Zealand classic, a comfort food that
is literally can spaghetti on toast. Zealand, you have lost
all credibility in criticizing other countries' food.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
I mean, this is worse than.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
A lot of the slop they serve in American cafeterias.
This is worse than a lot of the boiled dinners
that people call.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Food across the world. What are you guys doing?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Ow Dare he be still in a dreams?
Speaker 4 (04:55):
He's come down on an institution.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
That's right, that's the way he's talking about it is
if we're serving a up as fine dining. Has he
tried our beautiful lamb and our beautiful seafood? Is a snack, mate,
It is a snack.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
But let's take it. Let's see if we can see
where early peak's coming from. Like, there's no nutritional anything,
and is it or is.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
That what you look for when you're getting a snack?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yesterday, is it delicious? I did eat book scratch. Yes,
I had a protein jake before I had pork scratch.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
You know what, if you've ever had a spaghetti bum
with cheese, you'll know that. And it's actually a really
good thing to have for a sports Sealy.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Pete saying that is early Pete saying that they don't
have spaghetti and a can over there.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I think.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
I mean if it's coming for you know, that's again
we're talking about the long weekend, going long weekend, if
it's the rainy days, the rainy.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Las weekend, particularly.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Simon cheese or even just like spaghetti on toast it
put some cheese on it if you want to.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
You don't have to put spaghetti on toast. Hello.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And the key with spaghetti, I think is the fact
that if you wanted to make like actual spaghetti pasta, right,
you have to boil up the pasta. You have to
the sauce with a can of spaghetti. It's done. You
whip it in the microwave and you've got a sort
sea situation.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Well you don't.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
My dad eats it straight out of the can cold,
Oh absolutely, with a serrated lid, ready to shave the
back of your neckles as you go in.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Early Beats issues.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
He saw that point after it ja because we're so
close to the border. Yeah, and you know, mobster Jason
has been traveling with us.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
What are you gonna do? You're gonna get over there.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Look, I can't see too much, but really, Pete, let's
just see left a foul taste in my mouth. We're
in New York right now and we're gonna hear from
Terresa Tony Streets, Big spender after seven. But some of
the things she's enjoyed about this trip. But I'll tell
you what, there's been a lot to take in. If
you've ever been to the USA or thought about going
to the USA, you know how big and incredible this
place can be.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
The food's amazing.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
There's a real big bustle and hustle through New York
that's in the city. But then you get out of
the city in a serene it's amazing. So it's a
place of contrasts. But then you sit down and watch
the TV and you're flicking through the like about eight
thousand channels.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
And most of them are sports. That's why one of
the things we've been wild about here is the for
sporting facilities, just in random little towel brush is amazing.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
The college football fields are massive with big lights like
stadium lights and things.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
We bought the merch, by the way, it's corn Now Universe.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
It's weird that we've all got the merch for a club.
We don't really know who they are, oh how good
they are, but.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
It looks great. So I'm flicking through the cheap TV
channel the other night.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
We had a spare a couple of minutes, and I'm
looking through there and I come across this thing as
it's literally grappling two grown men grappling inside a car,
so funny, it's weird, and it's it's car wrestling.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
And they have like full on the heads out the window.
So the guy is still holding onto his feet.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Yes, so there's basically sit in the one guy sits
in the driver's seat, one guy sits in the passenger seat.
You put your seat belt on, and you put your
hands in the ears of to say okay, you know
it's like and someone says freeze hands in the air,
and they've got their hands in the air, refreezes, okay,
game on under your seat belt. Start grappling each other,
and I think it's the first to submit.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
A joke. So one guy the guy that won.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
And by the way, they have like rounds, and so
the end of the round, the referee blows the whistle.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
You're gonna lick each other. Go sit back and say
hands in there again.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I want to know if the car that Durren has
like one of those big stick handbrakes, because that would
get swore there and you've got to negotiate that. You're
right in the thigh, you too, are definitely going to
have a go. I don't even know who I back here?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
When did you last whistle?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I don't know has got you on sheer size?
Speaker 4 (08:28):
He does. He's a beer of a man.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
We know that your bustles mainly for show, so he's
your beer.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
What am I? I don't even know a question.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I want to see you two do this, and I
want to see the two reasons we're not doing it.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
The first wrestling is absolutely exhausting.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You're definitely doing this when we get the same thing.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
That problem I have is like all the feed up
on my dashboard and I want to.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Set my dirty old cardival run around.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
And here the how the winners, you have to you
have to submit.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
So basically, somehow you're going to get this person to
submit the way the guys did it. Because they're grappling
away the horns two d eary couple of seconds, it's.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
A gone one. By wrapping the seatbelt around the guy's throat.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
That's like, we write it down, this is what we're
filming it we get.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Home car reously.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
It's a thing, and it's all its way to maybe
bounce smart who knows Corney Streets.
Speaker 8 (09:26):
Ten thousand dollars, big spender, Big Ample.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
She feels like a lifetime ago. But Theresa got that
phone call and won this trip.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
She sure did. And just to remind you what this
trip is about. They get ten thousand dollars to spend,
and that has always been at the heart of big Spender.
Julie got ten thousand dollars initially when we did our
new market iteration, and then we had ten thousand dollars
again in just Hawaii and that was with so Fair
and then last year with Kate we were in Vegas
(09:57):
and Hawaii. And the difference I think between Tate who
we had last year in Teresa, as Kate went for
big things like she got an Apple watch, she wanted
an iPad, and she had specific things that she wanted
to get for her girls who didn't come with us
on the trip. They were back home in New Zealand.
The difference is Teresa is here and she's got her girl,
Grace twenty two years of age, second year medical student,
(10:19):
with us to actually choose things.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Yeah, and they do that. They're passionate shoppers. They like
to go and explore the shops and see what's there
and make decisions on the fly, which is very different.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, and they've often got things that are matching as well,
like the two of them got a Cornell University hat each.
Really cute.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
It is really cute.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
So Tony sat down with Teresa to talk about the
shopping experience.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
So time to reflect over this enormous body of water.
What have you enjoyed the most over the past ten days?
Big spender, the.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
Non stop drop your bags go, going to the next adventure,
going to the next mind blowing scene, spending some money,
hanging and laughing with you guys. But just New York
is so much more than New York City. It's just
been incredible every day seeing something new and experiencing all
(11:13):
the different things that New York States got to offer.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
So this is a shopping trip. Since Theresa that you
get more joy buying things for your daughter than you
do yourself. It's true, right, It's true.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
Yeah, yeah, I think that is maybe part of my nature.
But yeah, I mean my motivation for entering was, you know,
I could share this with my girl. And yeah, although
I'm still after that ultimate pair of shoes. I've gone
several peers, but I still have two gaps in my
(11:50):
suitcases that I need to film it.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
And I tell you what if we don't get it here,
that we will scrounge the whole country of New Zealand
to find those we will do we will.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Oh well, there's only one thing for it. Then we
need to go shopping today. And I found an outlet store.
Here we go, the Niagara Falls Outlet Stores.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Jack.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Absolutely, they have been named on the top ten walls
in America, and there's at least seventy percent off the
prices and some of the revolts.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
After just had one problem suitcases.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
There's literally no rooms. Can we buy another suitcases?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
We can?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Thanks for listening to the feel Good Breakfast catch up
podcast with Coasts Tony Street, Jace Reeves and Sam Wallas.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Does anyone always blaming me? Don't blame the weather man.
I'm just the messenger.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Just get it right, Okay.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
I don't think it's hard to get this one wrong
because it's just kind of wet every week.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
He just contrasts with that with the fact that, no, no,
you don't want to hear this, but we've been in
the US ten days and haven't had one drop of room.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Even the locally it's never like this at this time
of year.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
When we went out to the Castle of the Guys
here we're literally normally in raincoats and stuff like that,
and we've just been blessed. Man, we haven't even we haven't.
There hasn't been no rain, there hasn't been clouds.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I think Teresa and Grace were the ones that brought
the sunshine with them.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Yeah, so warnings up the west coast kind of through
the Canneby high country as well.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
The top of the.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
South Island gets wind and so does Wellington and wided
Upper So those are the warnings kind of in place
at the moment.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
But what we sing in terms of the.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Data is a big wet front coming in and washing
over the West coast first, and it kind of goes
up the West coast, pushes into Wellington a little bit,
and then it decides to go a bit back down
the west coast, which is always you know what we
this is the bad stuff when we start to see
weather staying in the same spot for a long time.
So you know, that's why this warning is across the
west coast. Then it comes back and it swallows the
(13:50):
entire North Island. So that's ten am Saturday that it
really starts to move in through there and then it
kind of pushes over. It does quite advance quite well,
so it moves through so kind of into the early
hours of Sunday, it starts to left, but it does
swill back onto the east coast of the South Islands.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Well, look, it's it's wet as weekend.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
It depends what you want from your labor weekend, Like
there is something appealing about, you know, staying in, watching
some good Netflix series, cleaning out the cupboards, you know
that kind of stuff that I don't want to on
labor weekend. Get pretty for this this summer to arrive,
and you know, starts of clothes.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Falling asleep to the sound of rain on the roof.
It's like natures lullaby and the alls of sort of
things to watch.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Well, a lot's on netflixing of the Wall Blacks against
Japan tomorrow night. It speaks to the season of course
on Sundays with the Silver Films against Australia.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
If we went there, we win the Consolation Cup.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I mean, nice weekend to turn out and we were
as New Zealand as I think we deserve it.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Motorsport fans unite, in fact more than motorsport fans because
we turn up to Watkins Glenn yesterday, which was as
a beautiful township with some wonderful shops and lovely pub
but more than that, it is also one of the.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Leagus of the NASCAR series.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
So there's the Watkins Glen NASCAR track there, which is
we found out yesterday it's actually owned by NASCAR.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Crazy, the actual sport owns the race track. Me today
people beteaen to the twenty two circuits. It's amazing, but
we turned out what a circuit.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
This is an international circuit like I have never seen
in my entire life. And we got the chance to
go for a little zoom zoom around the circuit too,
and what is effectively a race version of a toyrid
camera for three point six meter V.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Six And it was wonderful. There was some squealing. There
was some squealing.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
It was.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
From Jason had to say. The biggest thing that shelped
me about the place was the sheer size of it all.
So you you picture it, rhythm and vibes and everyone
camping out and that's essentially what they do at Watkins Glean.
People camp out for.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Three days week. The whole week.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Was this the whole week.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I was like wow. So they camp here and then
they just run around the track trying to get different
and better vantage points.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
And this is how big this thing is.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
If people come into the they book these camp sites
for like a year and a half advanced site to
try and get in here, and they have concerts on
they have welcome parties, and they even bring in the
Watkins Glenn stuff, bring in a medical team and they
set up a hospital there because of the sheer number
of people there. And this isn't just for the race
car drivers for medical attention. This is for people who
go there. This is massive.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
And one of the things like I don't know. You
you look at America and you go, oh, you know,
they'll have really strict rules and protocols, and you know,
people get sued at the drop of a hat. And
then they told us that every every weekend they open
the track up just to any Joe blog that wants
to come and pay thirty bucks and you can race
on the actual NASCAR track. That's pretty reasonable, it is.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
And you will be loved as well if you turn
up in these parts of the world, because Shane van
Gisbergen is a sensation. You know, he's a key with
it turned up out of nowhere and keeping up with
the big boys of NASCAR, and he's like a fan favorite.
So as soon as they heard that, we were key like, oh,
Shane van gisberg.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
And we always put money on him, always put money
on her.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
We know he's dey building ch cargo on the street
race and he got the winds.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
It's a really neick place and a wonderful addition because
if you are planning on doing a giant shopping trip
like we have and you need to drag along your husband,
there will be some things along the way that he
will also love.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Very smart speaking of shopping though, and this is one
of the things we've noticed. Everywhere we have gone, everything
has a merch store. And when we went and visited
Watkins Glen like we went on a day where no
one was around. We were virtually the only people there
and the gift shop was still open and just stays open.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
So we couldn't help ourselves and took Teresa and there,
and Teresa sure.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Enough to some shopping.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
You actually shock me, so Tony Street actually s anyway,
So again follow our adventures because you can do that
trip yourself. But also if you're on Instagram or Facebook,
you can see some of the footage there, including the screaming.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Of so much better. To give you a sample of
that right now, I was squealing of the tires.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
You din't any could squeeze himself, There goes Josie.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
So I've chosen the only But that's Jason stage anyway.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
As if you really have to Friday of a long weekend,
long weekend, even a lot of keys are on the move.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
This weekend road just give way to get on the road.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
So you may have seen this in the news the
last couple of days. So the keys are traveling this
are the big travel destinations domestically Auckland, but in Queenstown
that's where most Keys want to go this weekend.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Interesting. What we do notice as local Auckland is though,
is people usually empty out the city, so that means
heaps of people are coming back in. I wonder if
there's a few attractions. I know that sky City is
opening a big new viewing deck up the Skytower, and.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
You'll be one of them again's on this weekend. Jason
Momore is going to be there at that so that'd
be pretty cool too. But you know, we're in America
at the moment, and road trip's a little bit different
over here. Usually have the snacks like you might stop
off at a petrol station and get maybe a couple
of kiit cats, maybe some some mints that sort of
subdominentses and chicken meat.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Road trip you follow the pivots. You're kind of missing
the point.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, it was really funny. We were on the strip.
Actually we hadn't done much snacking at all. We just
mainly because we hadn't didn't have time to stop. And
then the one time that we decided, oh does anyone
else feel like some chips? And everyone kind of agreed,
So we emptied out of the van and we stopped
into one of their gas stations here and then you
usuld have seen the amount of food coming out of
(19:26):
that gas station bag into the van. It's like the
seal was broken and everyone was getting savory options, sweet options.
And when these are dunkin donuts in a subway also
in the gas station, you know it's a real free
for all.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
That was a free and we were where the pumpkin
donuts are quite nice, and they were. They were mixed
with the chocolate covered pretzels.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I never had a pumpkin donut. Oh your the little
round ones, thanks miss at the front of.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
The van eating the peanut butter Eminem's that Jay Scott
and the onion ring chips that usually I thought had
an interesting choice, youngion ring chips.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Yeah, they weren't that good. Were the lace chips would
definitely better?
Speaker 5 (20:02):
What about producer Rosier getting a bottle of plank from
the servo?
Speaker 4 (20:06):
She got like the little fuel mix, it was phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Bable Okay, but but if we're going to talk about that,
we need to talk about the fact that Jason Reeves
and I don't understand why you did that to the
service station and he purchased a giant can of Jack
Daniels rum, which we thought was bad enough. And then
when you looked on closer inspection, it was Jack Daniels punch, Like,
(20:33):
what is wrong with you?
Speaker 4 (20:35):
You're never going to explain you way out of us.
You took the manlys drink on the planet, Jack Daniels,
and you bought the.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Punch firstness save that after lunch, you know.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Ryan into your pillow? Is that your day version?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
No no, So I thought, I I won't be uncouth,
I'll drink this after lunch.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
So I go in there at the three Dooms.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
It's you're going to be a free noose, which is
basically like twirlve horn chips basically in the honey barbecue flavors.
You get those, get the peanut butter eminem because we
don't get those in New Zealand, and some salt vanga
chips because that's my weakness. And then I see this
thing in the frede and that you can buy all
you can buy beer at petrol stations here.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
But next to the moonshine, but next to it was
Jack Daniel's loboard well, that's bizarre.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
It's a giant can, but it had like tropical punch
on it. I was like, I'll go the sweet tooth.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
What part of you with that sounds like a bit
of me.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
I'll get the big can who surely will all share it?
So I'll get back to the van. I said to you, Okay,
does anyone want this?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
He was like, what the hell to the back of
the van, say you're bogan. You go back there. Can
you drink your jacks and your much on your own?
Speaker 4 (21:41):
They you say you're coming here? You wanted to share it?
Do you pilastered on you? You're weird?
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Tried was keen to Tony's right. I get put to
the back of the basketle and okay, no one's keen
at all.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
So I start.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
I opened the can. It's just after midday. I start
drinking away and I thought, well, I've committed to this.
I've been a drink it. Part way through, people go
how much is in there? And I saw the label
as eight percent by half a can. I'm giggling to
myself in the back corner. It's terrible.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Yeah, you became really fun after that. Just there's all
a little word of warning if you are at home.
Some of the things we've missed over here. The snacker
Chaney chips. America doesn't have those. They're definitely the best
chip chips in the world. And also blocks of chocolate.
Every gas station we've gone to there's no big blocks
to share. These only little individual bars, So get those
(22:26):
king size and just know that's.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
We know.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
It's surprising when you consider Americas and we know because
we stopped at every single service station looking for them.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
You may have heard the news as well if you're
traveling around New Zealand. Northland has been named one of
the best places in the world to visit by National
Geographic magazine.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
You know, and you'd have to suspect that because it's
National Geographics, but it's based around how how wonderful that
place is and how it looks geographically.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
You know, the beaches.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
An untouched to like, unlike every other white sand beach
in the world, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Yeah, Sam, And that was actually handpicked by Edithi's and photographers,
so you're right about that. One of the other places
in the world to visit is of course Niagara Falls,
and that's where we find ourselves this morning.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Oh gosh, Niagara Falls. Wow. So we arrived and we
got to see it for the first time in at
the nighttime and it was all lit. And do you
know what it reminded me of if you've ever been
took apart Christmas lights in Tartanaki, where they light all
of the beautiful native bush, they light the falls the
same way, so you get this incredible It's all of
(23:31):
the senses because you can see the mist, you can
hear the roar of the water fall, and then you
see this beautiful light and then you're just watching everyone's
faces as in wonder as they look at it.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Totally.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
When I turned up there, I felt like a twelve
year old boy running to a kid's party because I
always feel with so much anticipation.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
You could hear it roaring.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Then you saw like the light just showing on the mist,
but you couldn't quite see the actual Niagara Falls, kind
of the scope and scale of it. And then you
walk right up to it and you are right on
the precipice of where the water flows over the edge.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
In the distance distance you can see it.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Wrapped right around this massive waterfall horseshoe.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Honestly, It is a magic, magic spot, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I don't think it's just you know, you go and
you look at the falls and you go, oh, that
looks great. There are a million different ways to see them.
Made of the Mist tour is how we go. We're
in a boat right to the base of the falls.
You can you can pop over the border and watch
it back from the Canadian side if you want to.
Part of it is also going down in a fifteen
meter lift into a gorge to go and see that,
(24:29):
which is true, great time.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
But no, you're right.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
So you walk up there and Sam says, it's a
sensory overload. It's just phenomenal and you look up and
I was expecting to see like giant meadows and panics
and like farmyards and things like this, but it's not.
It's a city right there on the other side of
the river. And that city is in Canada.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
You're looking at Canada, and because that's all lit up too,
it's a real feast for the eyes between I'm going
to sound poetic here, between the city and the natural
landscape alive.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
It's so close to canter In fact, we got charged
with the data package to Pana.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Well, they got you good anyway, so you can see
this is why they follow our adventures because we've got

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Sam Kee's across Label Weekend Get Injured every single year
ACC brings these stats out.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
There are things that really hurt us.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
So we've had injuries here.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
Yeah, we have Theresa pulled a glutamus maximus early on
and she has pushed through the shopping and.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Trying to get upstairs with a pulled glue muscle is tough, right.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Yeah, it's not easy, Yeah, but she she sold.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
It on as she's got her daughter Grace here, right,
who's secing your medical student? I wonder if she's looked
into the c coospe.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Do you know I love these lists from Who's It
from acc acc because it's kind of a warning as
you kind of go into the long weekend what to
be careful on.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Now, can I'm going to throw something into the rings
straight away?
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Okay, I'm going to say this is the season of
trimming hedges, it is the season of cleaning out gutters.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
I'm going to go with ladders. I always think it
would be leaders and things like that. So well, vacuum
cleaners and cleaning a prices.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
It's not so much that it's basically what we've We've
never been hurt by a vacuum cleaner.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
It sucks.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Did you say? Did you say vacuum cleaners can cause injuries?
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Like how people trip over them.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
You've got to be a terrible vacuum cleaner to drip
over it.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Trent Poleens caused a lot of eccedens around the time
of the year too, because Dad gets on this show
on the Kid's House Done.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Tramps can like break your leg just by double bouncing. Yeah, exactly,
we know heaps people that have done that. Yeah, be
careful of the double bounce.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
The most common injuries during New Zealand's Labor weeking every
year sprains and concussions.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
People are knocking themselves down.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Well, Jase, you know all about that.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
There's acc come out with, Like they just said, sprains
and concussions.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
They haven't seen specifically what causes them. Helpful is unhelpful? Survey,
I remember's done that Survey has basically been doing it
while on leave for the long we end.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
You can definitely sprain it from tripping over the vacuum
cleaner and leaning down to weed your garden.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Yep from the lower bats.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Yeah accc there if you're if you're doing gardening, make
sure you bend your knees.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
How we can cussing ourselves. I'd like to know that
if you I.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Saw one stand of it was on Christmas time that
well it's injuring kiwis there on Christmas time because people
obviously getting ready for Christmas and cleaning the bathrooms and stuff,
and somehow knocking themselves out.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Is quite hard. But do you know, I reckon the
concussions are coming from very similar to what you did
over here, Jason. You clean the windows for your spring
clean and then they're so clean that you will try
walk through them.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Yeah, someone to put a sticker on the window. It's
just a little butter. This is evolution, Jason. If you
walk into a splitting door bait, it's your own fault.
I was trying it out of the way, in the
way of myself.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
And we need to talk about how your attitude towards
your life, right, And I feel like it's a good
time on a Friday to reflect a wee bit and
maybe you've got a little bit of time to breathe
this weekend with three days. I always feel like you
can get into a funk if you're not careful of
waiting for things to happen in your life, when in reality,
(28:33):
you actually need to be intentional if you want things
to happen. If you've got these ideas, they're not just
going to magically happen. And we're big fans of Reese
Witherspoon on this show. She's like our female version of
Matthew McConaughey.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
It's kind of like our sister wishes know it, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Totally, And so we thought while we were in the
States here we saw this on Instagram. We thought, what
bet away on a Friday to get a bit of
inspiration about how we want to finish twenty twenty four
from the woman WHOSELF.
Speaker 9 (29:01):
I just got a call from somebody and this is
a piece of advice that really helped me.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
So I hope it helps you.
Speaker 9 (29:07):
Do not wait around for the phone to ring for someone.
To make your dreams happen. You have to do something
literally every single day to push your dreams forward. No
one is thinking about what you want to do, or
how you want to do it, or what the mark
in the world that you want to make is.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
That's up to you.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
So you have to actually do something to make it happen.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
And you can do it, and you're going to do
it today. Oh it's inspiring, is this?
Speaker 8 (29:35):
It is?
Speaker 1 (29:35):
But can we just make it happen tomorrow? Some little
bit tied today? It's like, at least just give ourselves
half a day.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
We've got a little bit of time. This is only
two months of Christmas. It's long. You get a long
wiking down a way, you know. We get the gist race.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
Tony Streets, ten thousand dollars, big spender, Bigapple, and a
few weeks ago to raise and got the phone call
to say, look, Resa, you have.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Won this trip, and there were tears, it was emotional.
It's just beautiful.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
And she's brought her daughter, twenty two year old daughter
Grace with her to do some shopping.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
But we're not just shopping either, a toty. We doing
a whole bunch of different things too.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Yeah, we've been doing activities every day. We've been eating together,
we've been traveling in the van. And I think from
the moment that we heard Teresa her excitable voice when
she entered this competition, she is exactly like that in
real life. She's such a trooper. This has been a
quite frankly grueling experience, right, eight different hotels, ten days,
(30:32):
we've all been thrust together, and whilst we've had some
amazing memories, it's been hard, and she has stayed positive
throughout the entire thing. It's really impressive.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
It kind of six o'clock starts, ten o'clock finishes, walking
long ways with effectively a ball glute and just the warmest,
kindest person you could ever have.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Asked to have on this trip, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Yeah, and such a beautiful, infectious laugh to her when
she cracks up.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
The whole place starts rocking. I just love that.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Anyway, Tony sat down with it a had a bit
of a chat about not just the Selpy experiences, but
also the tourism experiences.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
We'll get to an activity and your eyes feel fill
with tears. So can you explain why that was happening
at so many of the sites we went to.
Speaker 7 (31:13):
I think, you know, losing my husband nearly a year ago,
and we just used to have so much fun and so,
you know, just having new fun without wrong is you know,
I just need to pause and take my breath. But
I can hear him saying to Grace and I, you know,
(31:33):
go girls. I can hear him saying, you know, don't
waste a minute, just go for it. And I just
need to sort of collect myself and yes, just reminding
me to keep living.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, what do you think he would say if he
knew everything that we have done on this trip. I
feel like he does though. He would be so proud
of us.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
Yeah, he would he this is what he'd want for us, Yeah,
and for Grace, for us to be together and just
doing this together, making new memories.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
He'd want that for us coming on this trip. I
understand how much of a big deal. It must have
been because you lost your special person less than a
year ago and you're going with complete strangers to the
other side of the world. One of those strangers is Sam.
Could have warned me. I know, I'm sorry about that.
(32:34):
Are you glad that you did it and you were
brave enough to come with us?
Speaker 7 (32:39):
I'm so glad we did it because I had a
couple of moments where I'm like, you know, we've been
really withdrawn and this is such a social experiment for us,
and you know, we couldn't have We wouldn't have wanted
to go with anyone else. You guys, they've just been like,
we've all just dovetailed in and you guys, I feel
like I know you you didn't know, but here we
(33:01):
have been safe. We can have our time if we
need to withdraw, but we've had so much fun. I mean,
you guys are impressed on our heart forever. I will
always always treasure this and we will talk about this forever.
And yeah, we just love you guys so much.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
And we are in New York and we've met us
to get right to the very top of New York
and last night we drove into Niagara Falls. But it
has been a long trip to get to this point.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
It sure has. We need to talk about traveling on
the run because you might have done this. Maybe you
were a backpacker, maybe you are someone that bounces between hotels.
I give you eight hotels and ten days, and I say,
oh my goodness, that is.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Hard, is it? It's something I've given THEE before either.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
And it's a weird thing, like you know, you pack
a bag to use the stuff in your bag, but
when you get to the hotel, it's say eleven eleven
thirty at night, and you're out again five the next morning.
Type thing you pick out, Basically you tough it back.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I had to wash my I washed my underwear and
socks in the Synk class night. That's where at that
is where I have never done that in forty one
years of life. I've always just and I saw a
launch bag here. We're staying at the Double Tree Hilton
in Niagara, and I looked at the laundry bag and went, oh,
they've got a laundry bag. And I'm like, you're checking
out at five am. That is not going to be
(01:09):
that fast.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Two day process there.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
Wow, you've got to be conservative if you only where
I'm only up to P five so.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
The absolutely seas.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Last night we got off the bus and we took
one hundred meter to walk down the down the path
towards what was a roaring, roaring meg, wasn't it.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Canyon of water is like pouring in.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Now that What was even more like, not that the
falls were impressive, is on the other side of the falls.
And I didn't know this. I knew that the top
of New York State boarded Canada, but I didn't think
we would literally see the high risers right there. You
could see the word casino on the building. It is
on the back of the You could have heard.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
It with a nine nine, couldn't you?
Speaker 5 (01:50):
You guess the goalall that spread across and the cheeky buggers,
the Canadians, what they do? You turn up and then
you get pained by you've arrived in Canada. We have
uploaded a DUTA package your phone for thirty dollars. So
they've just got everyone that comes into see the falls
scoring thirty bucks on a data view.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
And that's the greatest scam of all time.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
You know what's also cheeky iss On the American side
where we are, it's all kind of looks like conservation
land and so these like no buildings really, and then
on the Canadian side like high rises, you know.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
All these big flash hotels. So that's the thing I thought.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I thought, Okay, across the river you probably see get
some meadows, some fields and panics and stuff last year,
but it was a city ride, credible jungle.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Canadian haang I can I just say that the lighting
that they cast upon it, it's these these massive square
lights that cast orange and then red and then blue
and then green across the falls, and it all bounces
off the mist that comes off these giant war and waterfalls.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
It is a sight too old at night.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Get there, samse before you rock up there and you
hear the roaring and you're like, okay, the water must
be right there, and you see the spray lifting up
and you just can't wait to see where that spray
is coming from.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
And it does not disappoint.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Those a little, not little, those giant bodies of water
that just fall off the cliff right beside.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
You are literally on the precipice of the waterfall.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I would take Hooker Falls if you've ever been to
Hooker Falls in New Zealand, and I times it by
about fifty's.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
There's a grundy little bugger and that's where you're at.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
But it's it's but it's definitely the David Tour of Waterfalls,
a the hook.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Analogy. Actually, now we're sitting here on the border between
the States and Canada. We're ride up the top right
by Niagara Falls. That's all that's separating us from the Canadians,
and that is why we feel so affronted by this
story coming out today. Now you might know this guy.
His name is Peter Early. He has a nickname of
(03:50):
Early Pete, and he's all over social media.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
He's a name.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Things he came up with himself. He's a Canadian chef
and what he has done is he he looks at
meals and he looks at snacks all around the world
and he says whether he likes them or not listen
to this. He is dissing our spaghetti and cheese toasty.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
New Zealand has been lying to us all Oh, they
claim to the public to be serving seasonal ingredients and
local produce.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
That's true.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Explain this a New Zealand classic, a comfort food that
is literally can spaghetti on toast. Zealand, you have lost
all credibility in criticizing other countries' food.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
I mean, this is worse than.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
A lot of the slop they serve in American cafeterias.
This is worse than a lot of the boiled dinners
that people call.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Food across the world. What are you guys doing?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Ow Dare he be still in a dreams?
Speaker 4 (04:55):
He's come down on an institution.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
That's right, that's the way he's talking about it is
if we're serving a up as fine dining. Has he
tried our beautiful lamb and our beautiful seafood? Is a snack, mate,
It is a snack.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
But let's take it. Let's see if we can see
where early peak's coming from. Like, there's no nutritional anything,
and is it or is.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
That what you look for when you're getting a snack?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yesterday, is it delicious? I did eat book scratch. Yes,
I had a protein jake before I had pork scratch.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
You know what, if you've ever had a spaghetti bum
with cheese, you'll know that. And it's actually a really
good thing to have for a sports Sealy.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Pete saying that is early Pete saying that they don't
have spaghetti and a can over there.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I think.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
I mean if it's coming for you know, that's again
we're talking about the long weekend, going long weekend, if
it's the rainy days, the rainy.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Las weekend, particularly.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Simon cheese or even just like spaghetti on toast it
put some cheese on it if you want to.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
You don't have to put spaghetti on toast. Hello.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And the key with spaghetti, I think is the fact
that if you wanted to make like actual spaghetti pasta, right,
you have to boil up the pasta. You have to
the sauce with a can of spaghetti. It's done. You
whip it in the microwave and you've got a sort
sea situation.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Well you don't.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
My dad eats it straight out of the can cold,
Oh absolutely, with a serrated lid, ready to shave the
back of your neckles as you go in.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Early Beats issues.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
He saw that point after it ja because we're so
close to the border. Yeah, and you know, mobster Jason
has been traveling with us.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
What are you gonna do? You're gonna get over there.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Look, I can't see too much, but really, Pete, let's
just see left a foul taste in my mouth. We're
in New York right now and we're gonna hear from
Terresa Tony Streets, Big spender after seven. But some of
the things she's enjoyed about this trip. But I'll tell
you what, there's been a lot to take in. If
you've ever been to the USA or thought about going
to the USA, you know how big and incredible this
place can be.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
The food's amazing.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
There's a real big bustle and hustle through New York
that's in the city. But then you get out of
the city in a serene it's amazing. So it's a
place of contrasts. But then you sit down and watch
the TV and you're flicking through the like about eight
thousand channels.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
And most of them are sports. That's why one of
the things we've been wild about here is the for
sporting facilities, just in random little towel brush is amazing.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
The college football fields are massive with big lights like
stadium lights and things.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
We bought the merch, by the way, it's corn Now Universe.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
It's weird that we've all got the merch for a club.
We don't really know who they are, oh how good
they are, but.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
It looks great. So I'm flicking through the cheap TV
channel the other night.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
We had a spare a couple of minutes, and I'm
looking through there and I come across this thing as
it's literally grappling two grown men grappling inside a car,
so funny, it's weird, and it's it's car wrestling.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
And they have like full on the heads out the window.
So the guy is still holding onto his feet.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Yes, so there's basically sit in the one guy sits
in the driver's seat, one guy sits in the passenger seat.
You put your seat belt on, and you put your
hands in the ears of to say okay, you know
it's like and someone says freeze hands in the air,
and they've got their hands in the air, refreezes, okay,
game on under your seat belt. Start grappling each other,
and I think it's the first to submit.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
A joke. So one guy the guy that won.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
And by the way, they have like rounds, and so
the end of the round, the referee blows the whistle.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
You're gonna lick each other. Go sit back and say
hands in there again.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I want to know if the car that Durren has
like one of those big stick handbrakes, because that would
get swore there and you've got to negotiate that. You're
right in the thigh, you too, are definitely going to
have a go. I don't even know who I back here?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
When did you last whistle?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I don't know has got you on sheer size?
Speaker 4 (08:28):
He does. He's a beer of a man.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
We know that your bustles mainly for show, so he's
your beer.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
What am I? I don't even know a question.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I want to see you two do this, and I
want to see the two reasons we're not doing it.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
The first wrestling is absolutely exhausting.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You're definitely doing this when we get the same thing.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
That problem I have is like all the feed up
on my dashboard and I want to.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Set my dirty old cardival run around.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
And here the how the winners, you have to you
have to submit.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
So basically, somehow you're going to get this person to
submit the way the guys did it. Because they're grappling
away the horns two d eary couple of seconds, it's.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
A gone one. By wrapping the seatbelt around the guy's throat.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
That's like, we write it down, this is what we're
filming it we get.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Home car reously.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
It's a thing, and it's all its way to maybe
bounce smart who knows Corney Streets.
Speaker 8 (09:26):
Ten thousand dollars, big spender, Big Ample.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
She feels like a lifetime ago. But Theresa got that
phone call and won this trip.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
She sure did. And just to remind you what this
trip is about. They get ten thousand dollars to spend,
and that has always been at the heart of big Spender.
Julie got ten thousand dollars initially when we did our
new market iteration, and then we had ten thousand dollars
again in just Hawaii and that was with so Fair
and then last year with Kate we were in Vegas
(09:57):
and Hawaii. And the difference I think between Tate who
we had last year in Teresa, as Kate went for
big things like she got an Apple watch, she wanted
an iPad, and she had specific things that she wanted
to get for her girls who didn't come with us
on the trip. They were back home in New Zealand.
The difference is Teresa is here and she's got her girl,
Grace twenty two years of age, second year medical student,
(10:19):
with us to actually choose things.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Yeah, and they do that. They're passionate shoppers. They like
to go and explore the shops and see what's there
and make decisions on the fly, which is very different.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, and they've often got things that are matching as well,
like the two of them got a Cornell University hat each.
Really cute.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
It is really cute.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
So Tony sat down with Teresa to talk about the
shopping experience.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
So time to reflect over this enormous body of water.
What have you enjoyed the most over the past ten days?
Big spender, the.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
Non stop drop your bags go, going to the next adventure,
going to the next mind blowing scene, spending some money,
hanging and laughing with you guys. But just New York
is so much more than New York City. It's just
been incredible every day seeing something new and experiencing all
(11:13):
the different things that New York States got to offer.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
So this is a shopping trip. Since Theresa that you
get more joy buying things for your daughter than you
do yourself. It's true, right, It's true.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
Yeah, yeah, I think that is maybe part of my nature.
But yeah, I mean my motivation for entering was, you know,
I could share this with my girl. And yeah, although
I'm still after that ultimate pair of shoes. I've gone
several peers, but I still have two gaps in my
(11:50):
suitcases that I need to film it.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
And I tell you what if we don't get it here,
that we will scrounge the whole country of New Zealand
to find those we will do we will.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Oh well, there's only one thing for it. Then we
need to go shopping today. And I found an outlet store.
Here we go, the Niagara Falls Outlet Stores.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Jack.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Absolutely, they have been named on the top ten walls
in America, and there's at least seventy percent off the
prices and some of the revolts.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
After just had one problem suitcases.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
There's literally no rooms. Can we buy another suitcases?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
We can?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Thanks for listening to the feel Good Breakfast catch up
podcast with Coasts Tony Street, Jace Reeves and Sam Wallas.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Does anyone always blaming me? Don't blame the weather man.
I'm just the messenger.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Just get it right, Okay.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
I don't think it's hard to get this one wrong
because it's just kind of wet every week.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
He just contrasts with that with the fact that, no, no,
you don't want to hear this, but we've been in
the US ten days and haven't had one drop of room.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Even the locally it's never like this at this time
of year.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
When we went out to the Castle of the Guys
here we're literally normally in raincoats and stuff like that,
and we've just been blessed. Man, we haven't even we haven't.
There hasn't been no rain, there hasn't been clouds.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I think Teresa and Grace were the ones that brought
the sunshine with them.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Yeah, so warnings up the west coast kind of through
the Canneby high country as well.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
The top of the.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
South Island gets wind and so does Wellington and wided
Upper So those are the warnings kind of in place
at the moment.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
But what we sing in terms of the.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Data is a big wet front coming in and washing
over the West coast first, and it kind of goes
up the West coast, pushes into Wellington a little bit,
and then it decides to go a bit back down
the west coast, which is always you know what we
this is the bad stuff when we start to see
weather staying in the same spot for a long time.
So you know, that's why this warning is across the
west coast. Then it comes back and it swallows the
(13:50):
entire North Island. So that's ten am Saturday that it
really starts to move in through there and then it
kind of pushes over. It does quite advance quite well,
so it moves through so kind of into the early
hours of Sunday, it starts to left, but it does
swill back onto the east coast of the South Islands.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Well, look, it's it's wet as weekend.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
It depends what you want from your labor weekend, Like
there is something appealing about, you know, staying in, watching
some good Netflix series, cleaning out the cupboards, you know
that kind of stuff that I don't want to on
labor weekend. Get pretty for this this summer to arrive,
and you know, starts of clothes.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Falling asleep to the sound of rain on the roof.
It's like natures lullaby and the alls of sort of
things to watch.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Well, a lot's on netflixing of the Wall Blacks against
Japan tomorrow night. It speaks to the season of course
on Sundays with the Silver Films against Australia.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
If we went there, we win the Consolation Cup.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I mean, nice weekend to turn out and we were
as New Zealand as I think we deserve it.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Motorsport fans unite, in fact more than motorsport fans because
we turn up to Watkins Glenn yesterday, which was as
a beautiful township with some wonderful shops and lovely pub
but more than that, it is also one of the.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Leagus of the NASCAR series.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
So there's the Watkins Glen NASCAR track there, which is
we found out yesterday it's actually owned by NASCAR.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Crazy, the actual sport owns the race track. Me today
people beteaen to the twenty two circuits. It's amazing, but
we turned out what a circuit.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
This is an international circuit like I have never seen
in my entire life. And we got the chance to
go for a little zoom zoom around the circuit too,
and what is effectively a race version of a toyrid
camera for three point six meter V.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Six And it was wonderful. There was some squealing. There
was some squealing.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
It was.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
From Jason had to say. The biggest thing that shelped
me about the place was the sheer size of it all.
So you you picture it, rhythm and vibes and everyone
camping out and that's essentially what they do at Watkins Glean.
People camp out for.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Three days week. The whole week.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Was this the whole week.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I was like wow. So they camp here and then
they just run around the track trying to get different
and better vantage points.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
And this is how big this thing is.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
If people come into the they book these camp sites
for like a year and a half advanced site to
try and get in here, and they have concerts on
they have welcome parties, and they even bring in the
Watkins Glenn stuff, bring in a medical team and they
set up a hospital there because of the sheer number
of people there. And this isn't just for the race
car drivers for medical attention. This is for people who
go there. This is massive.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
And one of the things like I don't know. You
you look at America and you go, oh, you know,
they'll have really strict rules and protocols, and you know,
people get sued at the drop of a hat. And
then they told us that every every weekend they open
the track up just to any Joe blog that wants
to come and pay thirty bucks and you can race
on the actual NASCAR track. That's pretty reasonable, it is.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
And you will be loved as well if you turn
up in these parts of the world, because Shane van
Gisbergen is a sensation. You know, he's a key with
it turned up out of nowhere and keeping up with
the big boys of NASCAR, and he's like a fan favorite.
So as soon as they heard that, we were key like, oh,
Shane van gisberg.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
And we always put money on him, always put money
on her.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
We know he's dey building ch cargo on the street
race and he got the winds.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
It's a really neick place and a wonderful addition because
if you are planning on doing a giant shopping trip
like we have and you need to drag along your husband,
there will be some things along the way that he
will also love.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Very smart speaking of shopping though, and this is one
of the things we've noticed. Everywhere we have gone, everything
has a merch store. And when we went and visited
Watkins Glen like we went on a day where no
one was around. We were virtually the only people there
and the gift shop was still open and just stays open.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
So we couldn't help ourselves and took Teresa and there,
and Teresa sure.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Enough to some shopping.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
You actually shock me, so Tony Street actually s anyway,
So again follow our adventures because you can do that
trip yourself. But also if you're on Instagram or Facebook,
you can see some of the footage there, including the screaming.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Of so much better. To give you a sample of
that right now, I was squealing of the tires.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
You din't any could squeeze himself, There goes Josie.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
So I've chosen the only But that's Jason stage anyway.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
As if you really have to Friday of a long weekend,
long weekend, even a lot of keys are on the move.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
This weekend road just give way to get on the road.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
So you may have seen this in the news the
last couple of days. So the keys are traveling this
are the big travel destinations domestically Auckland, but in Queenstown
that's where most Keys want to go this weekend.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Interesting. What we do notice as local Auckland is though,
is people usually empty out the city, so that means
heaps of people are coming back in. I wonder if
there's a few attractions. I know that sky City is
opening a big new viewing deck up the Skytower, and.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
You'll be one of them again's on this weekend. Jason
Momore is going to be there at that so that'd
be pretty cool too. But you know, we're in America
at the moment, and road trip's a little bit different
over here. Usually have the snacks like you might stop
off at a petrol station and get maybe a couple
of kiit cats, maybe some some mints that sort of
subdominentses and chicken meat.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Road trip you follow the pivots. You're kind of missing
the point.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, it was really funny. We were on the strip.
Actually we hadn't done much snacking at all. We just
mainly because we hadn't didn't have time to stop. And
then the one time that we decided, oh does anyone
else feel like some chips? And everyone kind of agreed,
So we emptied out of the van and we stopped
into one of their gas stations here and then you
usuld have seen the amount of food coming out of
(19:26):
that gas station bag into the van. It's like the
seal was broken and everyone was getting savory options, sweet options.
And when these are dunkin donuts in a subway also
in the gas station, you know it's a real free
for all.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
That was a free and we were where the pumpkin
donuts are quite nice, and they were. They were mixed
with the chocolate covered pretzels.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I never had a pumpkin donut. Oh your the little
round ones, thanks miss at the front of.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
The van eating the peanut butter Eminem's that Jay Scott
and the onion ring chips that usually I thought had
an interesting choice, youngion ring chips.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Yeah, they weren't that good. Were the lace chips would
definitely better?
Speaker 5 (20:02):
What about producer Rosier getting a bottle of plank from
the servo?
Speaker 4 (20:06):
She got like the little fuel mix, it was phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Bable Okay, but but if we're going to talk about that,
we need to talk about the fact that Jason Reeves
and I don't understand why you did that to the
service station and he purchased a giant can of Jack
Daniels rum, which we thought was bad enough. And then
when you looked on closer inspection, it was Jack Daniels punch, Like,
(20:33):
what is wrong with you?
Speaker 4 (20:35):
You're never going to explain you way out of us.
You took the manlys drink on the planet, Jack Daniels,
and you bought the.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Punch firstness save that after lunch, you know.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Ryan into your pillow? Is that your day version?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
No no, So I thought, I I won't be uncouth,
I'll drink this after lunch.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
So I go in there at the three Dooms.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
It's you're going to be a free noose, which is
basically like twirlve horn chips basically in the honey barbecue flavors.
You get those, get the peanut butter eminem because we
don't get those in New Zealand, and some salt vanga
chips because that's my weakness. And then I see this
thing in the frede and that you can buy all
you can buy beer at petrol stations here.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
But next to the moonshine, but next to it was
Jack Daniel's loboard well, that's bizarre.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
It's a giant can, but it had like tropical punch
on it. I was like, I'll go the sweet tooth.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
What part of you with that sounds like a bit
of me.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
I'll get the big can who surely will all share it?
So I'll get back to the van. I said to you, Okay,
does anyone want this?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
He was like, what the hell to the back of
the van, say you're bogan. You go back there. Can
you drink your jacks and your much on your own?
Speaker 4 (21:41):
They you say you're coming here? You wanted to share it?
Do you pilastered on you? You're weird?
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Tried was keen to Tony's right. I get put to
the back of the basketle and okay, no one's keen
at all.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
So I start.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
I opened the can. It's just after midday. I start
drinking away and I thought, well, I've committed to this.
I've been a drink it. Part way through, people go
how much is in there? And I saw the label
as eight percent by half a can. I'm giggling to
myself in the back corner. It's terrible.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Yeah, you became really fun after that. Just there's all
a little word of warning if you are at home.
Some of the things we've missed over here. The snacker
Chaney chips. America doesn't have those. They're definitely the best
chip chips in the world. And also blocks of chocolate.
Every gas station we've gone to there's no big blocks
to share. These only little individual bars, So get those
(22:26):
king size and just know that's.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
We know.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
It's surprising when you consider Americas and we know because
we stopped at every single service station looking for them.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
You may have heard the news as well if you're
traveling around New Zealand. Northland has been named one of
the best places in the world to visit by National
Geographic magazine.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
You know, and you'd have to suspect that because it's
National Geographics, but it's based around how how wonderful that
place is and how it looks geographically.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
You know, the beaches.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
An untouched to like, unlike every other white sand beach
in the world, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Yeah, Sam, And that was actually handpicked by Edithi's and photographers,
so you're right about that. One of the other places
in the world to visit is of course Niagara Falls,
and that's where we find ourselves this morning.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Oh gosh, Niagara Falls. Wow. So we arrived and we
got to see it for the first time in at
the nighttime and it was all lit. And do you
know what it reminded me of if you've ever been
took apart Christmas lights in Tartanaki, where they light all
of the beautiful native bush, they light the falls the
same way, so you get this incredible It's all of
(23:31):
the senses because you can see the mist, you can
hear the roar of the water fall, and then you
see this beautiful light and then you're just watching everyone's
faces as in wonder as they look at it.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Totally.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
When I turned up there, I felt like a twelve
year old boy running to a kid's party because I
always feel with so much anticipation.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
You could hear it roaring.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Then you saw like the light just showing on the mist,
but you couldn't quite see the actual Niagara Falls, kind
of the scope and scale of it. And then you
walk right up to it and you are right on
the precipice of where the water flows over the edge.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
In the distance distance you can see it.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Wrapped right around this massive waterfall horseshoe.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Honestly, It is a magic, magic spot, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I don't think it's just you know, you go and
you look at the falls and you go, oh, that
looks great. There are a million different ways to see them.
Made of the Mist tour is how we go. We're
in a boat right to the base of the falls.
You can you can pop over the border and watch
it back from the Canadian side if you want to.
Part of it is also going down in a fifteen
meter lift into a gorge to go and see that,
(24:29):
which is true, great time.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
But no, you're right.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
So you walk up there and Sam says, it's a
sensory overload. It's just phenomenal and you look up and
I was expecting to see like giant meadows and panics
and like farmyards and things like this, but it's not.
It's a city right there on the other side of
the river. And that city is in Canada.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
You're looking at Canada, and because that's all lit up too,
it's a real feast for the eyes between I'm going
to sound poetic here, between the city and the natural
landscape alive.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
It's so close to canter In fact, we got charged
with the data package to Pana.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Well, they got you good anyway, so you can see
this is why they follow our adventures because we've got
some amazing footage from this at Coast Breakfast on Instagram
and Facebook. But if you go to the website I
Love ny dot com you can discover more of water
weights you stay wide across New York and Traveled USA.

Sam Kee's across Label Weekend Get Injured every single year
ACC brings these stats out.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
There are things that really hurt us.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
So we've had injuries here.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
Yeah, we have Theresa pulled a glutamus maximus early on
and she has pushed through the shopping and.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Trying to get upstairs with a pulled glue muscle is tough, right.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Yeah, it's not easy, Yeah, but she she sold.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
It on as she's got her daughter Grace here, right,
who's secing your medical student? I wonder if she's looked
into the c coospe.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Do you know I love these lists from Who's It
from acc acc because it's kind of a warning as
you kind of go into the long weekend what to
be careful on.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Now, can I'm going to throw something into the rings
straight away?
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Okay, I'm going to say this is the season of
trimming hedges, it is the season of cleaning out gutters.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
I'm going to go with ladders. I always think it
would be leaders and things like that. So well, vacuum
cleaners and cleaning a prices.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
It's not so much that it's basically what we've We've
never been hurt by a vacuum cleaner.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
It sucks.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Did you say? Did you say vacuum cleaners can cause injuries?
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Like how people trip over them.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
You've got to be a terrible vacuum cleaner to drip
over it.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Trent Poleens caused a lot of eccedens around the time
of the year too, because Dad gets on this show
on the Kid's House Done.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Tramps can like break your leg just by double bouncing. Yeah, exactly,
we know heaps people that have done that. Yeah, be
careful of the double bounce.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
The most common injuries during New Zealand's Labor weeking every
year sprains and concussions.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
People are knocking themselves down.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Well, Jase, you know all about that.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
There's acc come out with, Like they just said, sprains
and concussions.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
They haven't seen specifically what causes them. Helpful is unhelpful? Survey,
I remember's done that Survey has basically been doing it
while on leave for the long we end.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
You can definitely sprain it from tripping over the vacuum
cleaner and leaning down to weed your garden.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Yep from the lower bats.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Yeah accc there if you're if you're doing gardening, make
sure you bend your knees.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
How we can cussing ourselves. I'd like to know that
if you I.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Saw one stand of it was on Christmas time that
well it's injuring kiwis there on Christmas time because people
obviously getting ready for Christmas and cleaning the bathrooms and stuff,
and somehow knocking themselves out.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Is quite hard. But do you know, I reckon the
concussions are coming from very similar to what you did
over here, Jason. You clean the windows for your spring
clean and then they're so clean that you will try
walk through them.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Yeah, someone to put a sticker on the window. It's
just a little butter. This is evolution, Jason. If you
walk into a splitting door bait, it's your own fault.
I was trying it out of the way, in the
way of myself.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
And we need to talk about how your attitude towards
your life, right, And I feel like it's a good
time on a Friday to reflect a wee bit and
maybe you've got a little bit of time to breathe
this weekend with three days. I always feel like you
can get into a funk if you're not careful of
waiting for things to happen in your life, when in reality,
(28:33):
you actually need to be intentional if you want things
to happen. If you've got these ideas, they're not just
going to magically happen. And we're big fans of Reese
Witherspoon on this show. She's like our female version of
Matthew McConaughey.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
It's kind of like our sister wishes know it, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Totally, And so we thought while we were in the
States here we saw this on Instagram. We thought, what
bet away on a Friday to get a bit of
inspiration about how we want to finish twenty twenty four
from the woman WHOSELF.
Speaker 9 (29:01):
I just got a call from somebody and this is
a piece of advice that really helped me.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
So I hope it helps you.
Speaker 9 (29:07):
Do not wait around for the phone to ring for someone.
To make your dreams happen. You have to do something
literally every single day to push your dreams forward. No
one is thinking about what you want to do, or
how you want to do it, or what the mark
in the world that you want to make is.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
That's up to you.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
So you have to actually do something to make it happen.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
And you can do it, and you're going to do
it today. Oh it's inspiring, is this?
Speaker 8 (29:35):
It is?
Speaker 1 (29:35):
But can we just make it happen tomorrow? Some little
bit tied today? It's like, at least just give ourselves
half a day.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
We've got a little bit of time. This is only
two months of Christmas. It's long. You get a long
wiking down a way, you know. We get the gist race.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
Tony Streets, ten thousand dollars, big spender, Bigapple, and a
few weeks ago to raise and got the phone call
to say, look, Resa, you have.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Won this trip, and there were tears, it was emotional.
It's just beautiful.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
And she's brought her daughter, twenty two year old daughter
Grace with her to do some shopping.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
But we're not just shopping either, a toty. We doing
a whole bunch of different things too.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Yeah, we've been doing activities every day. We've been eating together,
we've been traveling in the van. And I think from
the moment that we heard Teresa her excitable voice when
she entered this competition, she is exactly like that in
real life. She's such a trooper. This has been a
quite frankly grueling experience, right, eight different hotels, ten days,
(30:32):
we've all been thrust together, and whilst we've had some
amazing memories, it's been hard, and she has stayed positive
throughout the entire thing. It's really impressive.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
It kind of six o'clock starts, ten o'clock finishes, walking
long ways with effectively a ball glute and just the warmest,
kindest person you could ever have.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Asked to have on this trip, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Yeah, and such a beautiful, infectious laugh to her when
she cracks up.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
The whole place starts rocking. I just love that.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Anyway, Tony sat down with it a had a bit
of a chat about not just the Selpy experiences, but
also the tourism experiences.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
We'll get to an activity and your eyes feel fill
with tears. So can you explain why that was happening
at so many of the sites we went to.
Speaker 7 (31:13):
I think, you know, losing my husband nearly a year ago,
and we just used to have so much fun and so,
you know, just having new fun without wrong is you know,
I just need to pause and take my breath. But
I can hear him saying to Grace and I, you know,
(31:33):
go girls. I can hear him saying, you know, don't
waste a minute, just go for it. And I just
need to sort of collect myself and yes, just reminding
me to keep living.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, what do you think he would say if he
knew everything that we have done on this trip. I
feel like he does though. He would be so proud
of us.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
Yeah, he would he this is what he'd want for us, Yeah,
and for Grace, for us to be together and just
doing this together, making new memories.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
He'd want that for us coming on this trip. I
understand how much of a big deal. It must have
been because you lost your special person less than a
year ago and you're going with complete strangers to the
other side of the world. One of those strangers is Sam.
Could have warned me. I know, I'm sorry about that.
(32:34):
Are you glad that you did it and you were
brave enough to come with us?
Speaker 7 (32:39):
I'm so glad we did it because I had a
couple of moments where I'm like, you know, we've been
really withdrawn and this is such a social experiment for us,
and you know, we couldn't have We wouldn't have wanted
to go with anyone else. You guys, they've just been like,
we've all just dovetailed in and you guys, I feel
like I know you you didn't know, but here we
(33:01):
have been safe. We can have our time if we
need to withdraw, but we've had so much fun. I mean,
you guys are impressed on our heart forever. I will
always always treasure this and we will talk about this forever.
And yeah, we just love you guys so much.
