Every Friday. On Matt and Tyler Afternoons on ZIB we
name the New Zealander of the Week and on a
wee bestow on your behalf to a newsmaker has had
an outsized effect on the great and beautiful nation that
we love. As always, there will be three nominees, but
only one winner. And remember, like the Time magazine Person
of the Year, the New Zealand of the Week isn't
always an agent of good. They are often placed on
the lists sarcastically. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're bad. It's

(00:42):
confusing even for me and I write this rubbish. So,
without further ado, the nominees for Matt and Tyler Afternoons
New Zealander of the Week AH Nominee one also gets
the Own Goal Award. There is no government job more
cushy and glamorous than the UK High Commissioner. You get
a driver, a nice car, it's whining, dining canopies, nice

(01:03):
digs and cocktail parties. All you have to do to
keep this plush gig is not insult Major political leaders
in risky times. Fill goff for kicking it straight into
the back of your own net and ending your career
with the lame historical rya side. You have been nominated
for New Zealander of the Week. What were you? Thank you?
Nomine two also gets the Toys out of the Cod Award.

(01:25):
He opened the biggest cash hos in history, sprayed it everywhere,
then went to sleep and failed to tame the tiger
that came out the other end. So he shoved us
into a recession to band aid over his own mistakes,
hired a million people to help him, and got eight
hundred k a year to do it. Adrian Or for
packing a sad and quitting your job. You were useless
at anyway. You are nominated for New Zealander of the Week,

(01:46):
all right, matey, and the winner I mean there can
only be one New Zealand with the week sadly, and
the winner also gets the Hangover four Award. They traveled
to the city of Sin and did what so many
key wes have done before. They humiliated themselves and flew
home with their tails between their legs. By all accounts,
they didn't hit the town and collectively wake up in
the morning on the floor of a hotel room with

(02:07):
a tiger in the bathroom. But by the way they played,
they might as well have come on with Mike Tyson
facial tattoos, baby strapped to their torso's black eyes, miss
and teeth, and no memory of the night before. The
New Zealand Warriors for coming home humbled, ready to put
your life back together after a trip to Vegas. You
are the Matt and Tyler Afternoons New Zealanders of the Week. Yes, boys,

(02:32):

go on the season. It's a long season. See you
at Mount Smart next week. You ever gonna taste that
KeyWe very long season. Only one game, Keep the faith,
Only one game. Novel The Game Doesn't Count. Body not earlier.
