Speaker 2 (00:23):
Ladies and gentlemen, The New Zealander of the Week is
a day early this week, but don't worry, It'll be
just as week. But don't worry, it'll be just as
week as if it was on a Friday. Ladies and gentlemen.
The New Zealander of the Week is a day early
this week, but don't worry, it'll be just as week

(00:43):
as if it was on a Friday. That's right, it's
time to celebrate some kiwis with Matty and Tyler Adams
Afternoons New Zealander of the Week, and as always, three
shall be honored. But who the will they be? Let's
find out with our first New Zealander of the Week. Well,

(01:07):
some would say this next honorees love of people boozing
on Easter and Christmas urinates all over wholesome traditions, whilst
also kicking precious shared kiwi together family time in the
nuts look. Others may describe the man as a timu
fred dag but he did get a bunch of National
Party and Labor Party members to agree on something for once.
So Karen McNulty, you are a new Zealander of the week. Famously,

(01:39):
Kiwis could be scared to fly because they worry they
may fall. Well, if only we could all hit the
ground as successfully as this big bird did in twenty fourteen.
Sitting on the couch in.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Its flat, he had a dream.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Shoes made from wool. A few years later, that wooly
idea was worth seven billion dollars. It's not worth that
much anymore, but even at its rock bottom it's worth
sixty eight million, surely making all Birds one of the
most successful failures in our country's history. So good on
your tim Brown, your thunkberg and went hard, and I

(02:13):
hope you scrawled away many millions for yourself on the
way out. You deserve it, and you are a new
Zealander of the Week. No one gave them a chance.

they said, year and also ran at the very best.

(02:34):
You're in the drawer to get a drawer. Ben Boom
a four one dismantling of Chile, not Fiji, not Tahite Chile,
South American Football Royalty. That's the first win over a
South American side ever. Not a freak accident followed by
a shut up shop. Eleven at the backs to the
end strap. They were composed and ruthless, four different goal scorers,

(02:57):
don't you know? And before you say they were down
to ten men shut up? What a final home hit
out before the World Cup. Now instead of hopefully we
can pete, it's starting to feel a lot like maybe
it's possible we could surprise a few people. The New
Zealand football team also known as the All Whites for

(03:19):
some reason, onwards and upwards to the Feetball World Cup
and first up at the World Cup we face yep
run in the United States of America. That is happening great,
the All Whites versus Iran in the neutral territory of

(03:40):
SOFI Stadium, Los Angeles, California.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Sixteenth of June. Give them a Tasi kiwi. You are
a New Zealand of the way.
