Now a lot of us don't like answering the phone if we don't know the number, right? No, I hate it. Yeah, I'm the same as you. I just won't. But every now and again I will and it feels a little like, what's this going to be? And the other day it was my kids trying to prank me and I regretted it. They placed themselves off YouTube actually. It was actually some really good prank. It was like someone had ordered takeaways and they're like,

you've given me this number and the food's waiting. I'm like, I thought it was a prank and it was a prank. Did you fall for it? Well, there was a part of me that was like this is the kids and then the same time i'm like well maybe that maybe i have ordered so is it like a voice that they're playing down down the phone very clever but something else i saw on social media uh lewis davis is his name very funny uh new zealand um creator and he had a little fictitious game show on his on one of his social posts. It was like a million dollars. You've got to make one call, but the person can't answer.

If they answer, you don't get a million dollars. So you need to pick a person. Everyone pick me. Yeah, so I was like, who would that person be? You can call someone from your contacts, and they can't answer. If they answer, you wouldn't win the million i don't have a million dollars but let's just have it as a fun little game right now we play uh well the japanese go on immediately because we don't have the mill okay yeah okay well sorry budgets

are tight does it cost a living crisis sorry i couldn't bring a million dollars for this one break yeah okay i feel like we need to talk to the bosses here we need to run a big promotion you wouldn't just suddenly go Hey guys, we're giving away a million dollars Here's how the game works But you don't get to play it One of the announcers gets to play it Now, okay, a couple of questions

Can I come through from private? Because that will dictate on who I choose Oh no, it's got to be the number that doesn't come through as private Because private people aren't going to answer I have to plug my phone and make a call They have to say that it's from you Yeah, from you And a million dollars if they don't answer.

I reckon both Maddie and PJ from the afternoon show are pretty terrible at getting back to you. But you're calling from your phone. So PJ will have your number. I don't call anyone. I've never called them in my life. So either she's going to answer being like, my God, what's happened? Or she'll just be like, I don't want to talk to you on the phone. For a million dollars that I don't have, but for a million dollars, PJ.

I love how he keeps doing it, which I don't have. A million dollars, which is not real. A million dollars. You want to lock in PJ right now? I think everyone in my family will answer. Because again, I never call anyone, so they'll answer. A million dollars that I don't have. You've got to call PJ.

Let's go with PJ. I'm locking in PJ. All right. A million bucks that he doesn't have. This is for the million. Don't answer. She'll be busy. She's a mum.

Great. Then she won't answer. This is the time that you don't want someone to answer. I don't know why. Who's Police Jonathan Evans? Why have you got Police Jonathan Evans? That was a long time ago. Someone stole all my mail and was trying to steal my identity.

Oh, wow. So I had that police officer's... Hey, mate, you've got your time. This is my game show. Stolen from Lewis Davis, all right? Thank you, Lewis. Ahead, just one up from Police Jonathan Evans. Stop going through my phone.

a call from you mate. It's only a radio bit though mate. I tried to tell him that you'd I tried to tell him you'd ignore his call. Guy, when was the last time he called you not for a radio bit? Don't answer that Guy. Don't answer that.

Oh, well, hey, the bad news is you didn't win your fake million bucks. Good news is Guy Williams will answer your call. Oh, there we go. We might try that one again.
