And I said sesame seeds.
And you said, we're not listening to you.
Well, no, I said it's a great option, and I like that option. I feel like that's right, too. But I just thought, well, let's doing it as well. And I said sesame seeds and you said we're not listening to you. Well no I said it's a great option
and I like that option. I feel like that's right too
but I just thought well let's throw it out there.
There are a lot of seeds that people have texted
in too. Poppy seeds,
pumpkin seeds, chia
seeds, sunflower seeds,
Ben Spreads' seed.
There's so many great options. So
we're going to go to the phones because Evelyn you've

What are we locking in for question number one?
Bearing in mind you get this wrong, we are out.
Sesame seeds for sure.
Sesame seeds for sure.
Why do you know this?
Because I've eaten them.
You've eaten them.
Okay.
Yeah, we're going to.
I don't know.
You seem to trust Evelyn more than you do me. I do. I feel like Evelyn's a safe bearer of hands. I'm going to lock. I'm eaten it. You've eaten it? Okay, we're going to... You seem to trust Evelyn more than you do me.

Okay, cool. Thank you. Thank you, Evelyn.
Alright, we're one for one.
Nine questions
to go. Here is the second.
Question two. It says
what does it say?
No, you feel like you're the
Bradley Walsh of this.
I've seen the chase
when someone comes in and takes over the Quizmaster
questions midway through with Bradley Walsh.
Oh no, that hasn't happened because that's not what happened.
No, yeah.
You go, you go. No, no, it's
fine, it's fine. I'll just stay in my lane.
Stay in my lane. You're the question guy. You're the question guy.
That's alright. Yeah, alright, Jeremy Clarkson, take it away.

Yeah, yeah.
The second longest river in Africa.

No, I've never been to Africa, so I don't know.
Andrea, welcome.
You're on from Christchurch.
Second longest river in Africa.
Hi, guys.

Oh, no, don't do that.
The Congo River.
Okay, all right.
That's the only other river I know in Africa.
The Congo River.
But you said a stab in the...
Yeah.
What are they saying on the text? Text 4487 if you know

All right.
Onwards and upwards.
Oh, okay.
Two down.
Number three.
Question three.
Exposure to what turned Bruce Banner into the Hulk in the original comics?
I feel like I know this one. I feel like it's something my dad used to say when I was pointing the remote at him.
He was like, the gamma rays.
It's like gamma radiation or something like that.
I feel like that's the same thing for the comic box.
Lock it in then.
I'm not 90% confident it's gamma radiation.
You just said I'm pretty sure.
Is it gamma?
Okay, we'll be back after this.
Are we locking in gamma rays?
I feel like it is, but maybe I'm wrong.
4, 4, 8, 7 on the text, 0, 800 the hits.
Exposure to what turned Bruce Banner into the Hulk
in the original comic series?
We're trying to get 10 out of 10 on the Herald quiz.
This is tense.
It is the hits.
Tested safe for listening from home.
Keep safe.
And that's all I have to say.
Thanks, Dr. Ashley. Jono and safe. And that's all I have to say. Thanks, Dr Ashley.
Jono and Ben.
New Zealand's breakfast.
We are trying to get 100%, 10 out of 10
in the New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz with your
help. No one's allowed to Google. It's always
just off the top of our dome. Do we know the answers
to these questions? Yeah, this is using
nature's Google, our brains, and I've had to clear
a lot of my history in my brain to
partake in today, Ben Boyce. There was a lot of useless
information clogging up, deleted the cookies in there
and everything. Now we left on a cliffhanger.
This was question number three.
Question three.
Exposure to what turned
Bruce Banner into the Hulk in the original
comics? Now I thought it was maybe like
gamma rays. I feel like that was something
from my memory. You said it confidently in a trademark
Ben Boyce movie, then lost confidence
immediately after. Yeah, yeah.
Started questioning himself. Yeah.
So Gamma Rays. Now there's a slew of
texts that have come through from
the fine people of Aotearoa on
4487. Someone's texted saying
it was those Cody's,
10% Cody's cans that
turned the Hulk into the Hulk. Oh, that's an option, I guess.
Back in the day. But Cody, speaking of Cody, we've got someone called Cody on the phone.
You're locking in what, Cody?
Gamma rays.
It is gamma rays.
Okay.
You seem confident.
What are gamma rays?
Gamma rays.
I don't actually know what Gamma Rays are.
No, but they continue into the Hulk, so you need to watch out.
I don't even think Kevin Boyce knew what Gamma Rays were when he was starting to get it.
He was worried about the remote control.
Giving him the Gamma Rays.
Okay, I'm going to lock it in. Should I lock it in? Lock in Gamma Rays.
Yes! Thank you, Cody. Three month subscription to the New Zealand Herald with digital subscription coming your way.
And we move to question number four.
Question four.
Who played Gordon Gekko in movies released in 1987 and 2010?
Michael Douglas.
It's Michael Douglas.
How do you know that you've not seen any movies?
But I know Michael Douglas played Gordon Gekker.
Is this the Wall Street one?
Wolf of Wall Street. No, not Wolf of Wall Street.
It wasn't Wolf of Wall Street.
No, that was Leonardo DiCaprio.
But wasn't Michael Douglas in like a... Why do you...
No.
Why would I just come out with Michael Douglas?
Because that's the sort of person you are.
But then I've immediately put a question mark over it by referencing...
I'm sure it's a Wall Street movie.
It's not...
It's not Waffle Wall Street.
It's not Waffle Wall Street.
It's the original Waffle Wall Street.
Waffle Wall Street's a remake.
No.
No, it's not.
The Waffle Wall Street's about a guy's life who wasn't Gordon Gekko.
But, I mean, you might be right.
I'm not saying you're not wrong.
But I feel like Michael Douglas was in a movie called Wall Street.
And it might have had a sequel.
Waffle Wall Street.
Oh, well, that's not the question, though.
No, no.
That's not the question.
I'm sorry.
I bamboozled everyone.
Lock in Michael Douglas.
I put my good name to Michael Douglas.
4487 on the text.
Anyone quickly?
Anyone?
I'll have a quick check before you click the button.
Someone said Michael Douglas on 4487.
Was it you?
Yes.
Okay, Michael Douglas.
Yes. Oh, Michael Douglas. Yes.
Oh, good one.
Brian, you've come through.
Michael Douglas.
Why would you even question that?
I thought you said Wolf of Wall Street made me question that.
Yeah, fair enough.
Okay, we are moving on to question number five.
Question five.
This is good.
So far, 100% so far in the New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz,
we're doing this with your help.
So help us out, 4487.
Was the TV show Spooks, S-P-O-O-K-S, an American, Australian or British show about spies?
I haven't seen the show.
Seems like a show Annie and John Pryor would enjoy.
Anyone would phone them and they'd be like, we're just sitting down to watch Spooks.
Yeah.
Your father loves it.
I feel like it's on TV.
I've seen an ad for Spooks.
I've previously been on TVNZ, right?
Producer Juliet, why am I asking you?
You haven't watched network television in your entire life.
I feel like a TVNZ TV1 show, Spooks.

You're going to look in British with that confidence.
Huge confidence there.

That doesn't count.
That's not a phone a friend because then we didn't talk to a friend.
Is that?
What would he?
No one talked.
There was no.
What would who wants to be a millionaire do right now?
They probably would have had someone waiting.
Waiting, ready to go.
They would have smoother production.

that talks about Big Brother
he loved that reality TV show
didn't he?
that's the only thing she's said to us all morning
she's just been scrolling through Instagram
she just pops out with an absolute blinder
so as Ben mentioned, we are seven from seven.
Question number eight.
Question eight.
So, it involves a Monaco prince, and he married someone in 1956.
So, I'm guessing it's got to be someone pretty famous, right?
So, there is one name that keeps popping up on the text, 4487.
Producer Humphrey said there's a common
Theme on 0800 the hits
But we're at this point where we don't want
There's some other names being chucked out there as well
Marilyn Monroe is one
But we're going to go through
For drama purposes and just to make
An unnecessary toll call
We're allowed to find a friend
So we're going to phone Monaco
Now
So if you can put the
call through you got a number there for a 24-hour shop you know you're going deep when you hear this
ringtone don't you all right well they know in monaco Oh, bonjour.
Oh, it's a message.
Didn't pay attention in French class.
I was like...
It's like that version when your friends leave a message

I was like, oh, bonjour.
Oh, bonjour.
I've lost confidence now Bonjour
Jean-Ethan
Oui
You take it from here
Hey listen are you in Monte Carlo
Yes
We have a question
We're calling from New Zealand And we're in the middle of a trivia game and the question is
