You're going to have to wait though.

I talked too much just then and I've run out of time to tell you about the light pole.

So I'll tell you about that, I promise you, in the next half hour.

Next up though, we've got Chris.

Chris Parker is a Kiwi comedian who gets obsessed with weird stuff.

And he got obsessed with felt hats for a bit during COVID.

And according to a texter, he's now obsessed with knitting.

So we'll talk to him about his tour and how weird he is.

Next, Newstalk ZB.

Right, it's seven past eight.

Now, what started on admittedly niche shows and social media has evolved into a full-blown star power for the comedian Chris Parker.

For a lot of people, Chris came into their lives during COVID.

You'll remember, it was all over our phones as videos started to go viral.

He's won the 2021 Best New Zealand Show Award at the New Zealand International Comedy Festival.

He's won Celebrity Treasure Island.

He's sold out audiences.

In New Zealand, Australia, London and Edinburgh.

And there is some buzz around this tour, as you can imagine, that he's about to do.

He's bringing his Take a Good Hard Look at Me tour around the country.

And Chris Parker's with me now.
