Every Friday on Matt and Tyler Afternoons on z B,
we name the New Zealander of the Week in honor
that we bestow on your behalf to a newsmaker who
has had an outsized effect on our great and beautiful
nation over the previous week. 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 goods. Sometimes they
are nominated because they are decks, sometimes because their heroes.

(00:42):
You can make up your mind why they're there. So,
without further ado, the nominees for Matt and Tyler Afternoons
New Zealand of the Week, AH number one also gets
the bit Part Superstar Award. She was in a few
episodes of the show early on, so as White Lotus
three comes from an exciting climax at four pm our time, Monday,
she deserves a mention. She might even get an on

(01:02):
screen death scene. Who knows. For having a role in
the most tense show on TV at the moment ken
we actress morgana O'Reilly, You have been nominated for New
Zealander of the Week.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Whoop, that's good.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Nominee two also gets the David Copperfield magician like attempt
to make something massive disappear award. When faced with mild
media questioning about their MPs challenging social media activity, some
political leaders might have answered the questions or maybe force
the paid MP in question to front up. Instead, they
threw a word salad smoke bomb in our faces. Mix
that with a shut up because some people are being mean,

(01:36):
followed by a shut up. None of you are even
qualified to have an opinion on this. The Green Party
half leaders, for your masterclass and magical thinking political diversion,
you are nominated for New Zealanders of the Week. Unfortunately
for them, we're starting to get wise to such trickery.
But there can be only one alright, who whatever has happened,

(01:59):
you still have a crapload of talent and one of
the twenty seats that are available. Do we dare to
dream you beat Sonoda ideally keeping Red Bull out the points.
Maybe give them the bird as you pass them on
the home stretch. Liam Lawson, we still love you. We'll
be watching practice, qualifying, and the race, and you are
the Matt and Tyler Afternoons, New Zealander of the Week,

(02:22):
Get them a tasta keywee? Who come on?

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Liam? Get him Liam, Jay gets fired, gets New Zell
the Week.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
That's the way it works.
