Hey guys, here are all the pick-up lines we mentioned in the episode:

to chat up (someone) = to flirt, to talk with someone in a flirtatious way

We talk about small inconveniences at the start of the episode and move onto more serious issues like racism and housing prices at the end. We still love our country and are grateful to live here, but we wanted to highlight the negatives too!

Hear all about Nicki's cherry picking experience and most importantly, how to use a port-a-loo in this episode!

Would you live in a tent for 7 weeks? Have you been in a car crash? How is NZ now with no Covid-19? We talk about all these topics!
