Si, Lana & The Breakfast Club

Yes, this is real. New Zealand's Tree of the Year voting is officially open, and we couldn't resist taking a look at the contenders.
From stunning native giants to trees with unusual stories, we explored the nominees and shared our own picks for who deserves the crown. Some of our choices made perfect sense... others, not so much.
What makes a tree worthy of being named New Zealand's Tree of the Year? Beauty? History? Personality? We have thoughts.
Join us as we celebrate one of the most delightfully Kiwi competitions around and reveal our weird and wonderful favourites.

It all started with a simple mission: find a NZ Post box in the dark.
Sounds easy enough, right? Not anymore. With post boxes becoming harder and harder to find, Si found himself on an unexpected late-night adventure searching for somewhere to mail a letter.
But that's when the conversation took a turn.
As we dug deeper into what exactly Si was trying to post, the questions kept coming... and Si became increasingly uncomfortable. Was it something important? Something unusual? Or something he'd rather keep to himself?
One innocent question led to another, and before long things had gone completely off the rails.

Things got interesting when we stumbled across some juicy gossip online about us and the show.
From rumours and wild claims to things that made us laugh out loud, we decided to put it all on the table and reveal what's actually true... and what's completely made up.
What have people been saying? Which rumours hit close to home? And were there any surprises we didn't see coming?
Join us as we fact-check the internet and give you the real story behind the gossip.

We set out on a mission to find New Zealand's smallest tax refund... and we think we may have found a winner! Fiona got in touch to tell us about her husband's eye-watering tax refund from IRD. The grand total? Just 1 cent.
Was this the smallest refund in New Zealand, or is there an even tinier payout lurking out there? Join us for a laugh as we hear Fiona's story and discover that sometimes every cent really does count.

Speedy steps up to the mic with some massive tech news, breaking down a highly anticipated, brand-new iPhone feature that is about to drop! The crew reacts to how this update is going to change the way we use our phones daily, while Lana and Simon debate whether it’s a genuine game-changer or just another piece of tech hype.
