Oh, has he?

But who hasn't?

He's certainly up on the dropped ball index, if you know what I mean.

In the not-too-distant past, we've been accused of being a little too downstairs-focused on the show, particularly around Thursdays.

We've received a lot of feedback around that.

So I've been making a conscious effort to raise the bar a little bit, stop things from getting so downstairs.

I can do that to a degree on the show.

What I can't do is do that on TVNZ's premier light infotainment show, Seven Shards.

Thank you very much.

I mean, who are you competing against?

They're still doing the project?

I think I was the last guest on that show.

I said I invented up the wasp.

Anyway, so imagine my shock and disgust when I sit down to eat my dinner last night at approximately 6.53 and I hear this.

Are we being taken for a ride here?

Well, look, man, I'm not sitting through half an hour of your show to watch that.

So all I can go off is the audio that I heard, which I don't know if we can replay again or not.
