ONE NEWS CAPTIONS BY RICHARD EDMUNDS AND CONOR WHITTEN. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR. COPYRIGHT TVNZ ACCESS SERVICES 2013 DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF SEVEN SHARP, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. HELLO. IT'S MAY DAY! THAT MEANS IT'S THE DAY OF THE WORKER. AND IN MOST OTHER COUNTRIES, THEY'RE ENJOYING A DAY OFF. NOT HERE, THOUGH. BUT PERHAPS WE SHOULD JUST BE GLAD WE SURVIVED OUR DAY AT WORK. PLENTY HAVEN'T BEEN SO LUCKY. AMONG THE 40 PEOPLE KILLED AT WORK LAST YEAR AND THOUSANDS INJURED, THERE'S ONE DANGER JOB THAT TOPS THE LIST. MOST DAYS IF YOU COME DOWN HERE, THE SEAS WILL BE POUNDING. THEY'LL BE JUST SMASHING UP ALL OVER IT. ARE WE TAKING WORKPLACE SAFETY SERIOUSLY ENOUGH? AND THIS IS CLIP A FULL-TIME JOB TOO, YOU KNOW, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR GENDER. AFTER BREAKFAST, GO WEES? GO WEES? NO WEES, DAD. (LAUGHS) WHY ARE KIWIS STILL A LITTLE BIT SUSS ABOUT STAY-AT-HOME DADS? PLUS, IS THE YOUTH WAGE A GOOD IDEA OR NOT? WE HAVE ANOTHER YEAH-NAH DEBATE FOR YOU. AND IT'S NEVER TOO LATE FOR A CAREER CHANGE. YOU SHALL NOT PASS... AN UNLIT JOINT, MAN. THAT'S JUST NOT COOL. 80-YEAR-OLD WILLIE NELSON'S PITCH FOR A JOB ON 'THE HOBBIT'. IT'S WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT SEVEN SHARP. THE MOST DANGEROUS JOB IN NZ IS BEING A COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN. SO WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW FROM YOU IS WHAT ELSE IS A DANGEROUS WAY TO EARN A CRUST. YOU KNOW NUMBER ONE, SO WHAT JOBS DO YOU RECKON MAKE THE REST OF THE TOP SEVEN? BUT BACK TO THE FISHING. YOU'VE PROBABLY NEVER GIVEN A SECOND THOUGHT TO WHO CAUGHT IT. BUT SOMEONE ENSURED YOUR CRUMBED HOKI WASN'T MISSING A KEY INGREDIENT. GILL HIGGINS WENT TO SEE HOW LITERALLY THEY PUT THEIR LIFE ON THE LINE TO PUT FOOD ON YOUR TABLE. UPBEAT MUSIC THIS IS MY COMMUTE. SOME MIGHT QUESTION THE SANITY OF THIS, BUT IT'S ALL RELATIVE. UPBEAT MUSIC CONTINUES IMAGINE NAVIGATING THROUGH THIS TO GET TO YOUR FILING CABINETS. THESE ARE PEOPLE ` ORDINARY PEOPLE, IN THIS CASE HERE. THEY PUT OUR FOOD ON THE PLATE. THE WEST COAST IS ABOUT RISK. WE REALLY RESPECT MOTHER NATURE HERE. BACK TO CITY LIFE, AND MOTHER NATURE DOESN'T GET A LOOK IN. EVEN IF IT'S YOUR WORST DAY IN THE OFFICE, THE HAZARDS DON'T GET MUCH BEYOND THIS. THUD! WOMAN: OOH! GLASS CLATTERS MAN: OH JEEZ! (EXCLAIMS) UPBEAT MUSIC WHEREAS ON A FISHING BOAT,... IN TRAWLING, YOU'VE GOT YOUR WIRES AND YOUR GEAR, SO THAT'S PRETTY HAZARDOUS. MOTION OF THE BOAT, AND YOU ALWAYS GET THROWN AROUND. AS A PROFESSION OVERALL, COMMERCIAL FISHING IS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS IN NZ. IN 10 YEARS, 33 DEATHS, AND ABOUT ONE IN EVERY 12 WORKERS GETS INJURED. WELL, THAT'S FISHERMEN. FISHERMEN ARE A BREED OF THEIR OWN. THEY ARE TOUGH TYPES OF CHARACTERS. THERE'S BEEN THE ODD OCCASION WHERE I'VE, YEAH, THOUGHT, 'MAN, THIS IS` THIS IS PRETTY NASTY.' CLEARLY, YOU'RE JUST TOUGH. WELL,... YOU JUST GET USED TO IT. COME ON. HOW CAN YOU GET USED TO THIS? WE'RE REALLY LUCKY WE'VE GOT A GOOD BOAT. UM, THE OLD BOAT I USED TO HAVE ` OH, USED TO WHITE-KNUCKLE IT HOME. IT WAS JUST` IT WAS HORRIBLE. ALSO, GAVIN FISHES UP HERE, NORTH OF AUCKLAND. DEFINITELY AN EASIER GIG. COMPARED TO THE WEST COAST, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF ISLANDS WE CAN GO AND SHELTER BEHIND. WE'VE GOT BARS TO CROSS. WE DON'T HAVE THAT. THE DEATH RATE'S HIGHER THAN FOR MINING, QUARRYING, EVEN THE ARMED FORCES THESE DAYS, AND GREYMOUTH'S ONLY TOO AWARE. THAT WAS A LOCAL. HE WENT DOWN ON A FISHING BOAT JUST OUT HERE. OVER A LIFETIME, WE'VE HAD 45 SHIPWRECKS RIGHT HERE. AS IN DEATHS, THERE HAVE BEEN 17 DEATHS HERE. THERE HAVE BEEN 230 DEATHS ` PEOPLE THAT WERE EITHER LEAVING HERE OR COMING HERE, AND THEY'VE NEVER BEEN HEARD OF AGAIN. UPBEAT MUSIC IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF LIFE ON THE WEST COAST. OH, IT'D BE SO FRIGHTENING. YEAH. SHIPWRECKS DOCUMENTED FROM THE TIME OF THE EARLY SETTLERS. THAT WAS THE REAL TOUGH DAYS, WHERE A MAN WAS A MAN, TYPE OF THING. (LAUGHS) AND THEY STILL ARE HERE. YEAH. WE ARE. OF COURSE. UP IN AUCKLAND, YOU MIGHT PLAY FOOTBALL, BUT DOWN HERE, WE TAKE ON MOTHER NATURE EVERY DAY. MOST DAYS, IF YOU COME DOWN HERE, THE SEAS WILL BE POUNDING, AND THEY'LL BE JUST SMASHING UP ALL OVER. IT'S SMALL BOATS THAT MOSTLY GET INTO TROUBLE, SO, HMM, MAYBE SHIFT TO BIG? WE WOULDN'T HAVE AN INDUSTRY. A BIG PART OF THE FISHING INDUSTRY HERE IS SMALLER BOATS. THEY JUST HAVE TO STICK TO THE RULES OF HEALTH AND SAFETY. NOT TOO BOTHERED ABOUT A VISITING JOURNO, THOUGH. YOU CAN CLIMB UP THERE IF YOU WANT TO. HE'S KEEN FOR US TO SEE HIS NEW VIEWING PLATFORM. SO, WE'RE GONNA GET UP THERE. TOO HIGH. BUT WHEN IT'S FINISHED, TOURISTS MAY GET MORE THAN THEY BARGAINED FOR. WHAT LOOKS CALM CAN QUICKLY TURN TO CHAOS. THE LATEST CASUALTY WAS RIGHT BY THE PLATFORM EARLIER THIS MONTH. JUST DUMPS IN, AND THEN YOU'RE IN DIRE STRAITS. THREE WERE ON BOARD. TWO SURVIVED. THE SKIPPER, NICHOLAS EKLUND, LOST HIS LIFE. HE GOT 2M FROM THE SHORE, BUT HE GOT WASHED BACK OUT AGAIN. AND HE WOULD HAVE BEEN FIGHTING HARD, BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN ONLY FIGHT THE SURF FOR SO LONG. WHEN YOU HEAR ABOUT A DEATH, LIKE DOWN IN GREYMOUTH, DOES IT AFFECT YOU AT ALL? YEAH, IT DOES. FISHING,... ESPECIALLY IN NZ, YOU PRETTY MUCH KNOW SOMEBODY` YOU KNEW THE GUY WHO PASSED AWAY, AND, UM` SO YOU FEEL FOR THEIR FAMILIES. AND AS IF THE DANGER WASN'T ENOUGH... WE'VE GOT NO TV ON THE BOAT, NO SHOWER, NO TOILET, SO... IT'S ALL OUTDOORS. (LAUGHS) I'D LIKE` I WISH I WAS BORN INTO MONEY, BUT,... YOU KNOW, BEING GRAFTERS, THAT'S WHAT YOU DO. IT'S QUITE AMAZING HOW MUCH WORK PEOPLE HAVE TO DO TO DELIVER THAT MEAL THAT YOU'LL HAVE ON A DAILY BASIS. NICE WORK, THOUGH, GUYS. NICE WORK. Tastes pretty good. Plenty of you guessed on Facebook. All pretty predictable. Utilities ` gas. Fishing are so many variables you can be as prepared as you like but the seas won't be forgiving. Top 10 most dangerous jobs in the states ` also topped by fishermen. Much more glamorous job though. There is also the attitude of workers ` the she'll be right attitude. YOU PROBABLY KNEW THE 1ST OF MAY IS MAY DAY, BUT DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ITS HISTORY? NO? NEITHER DOES JESSE. BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP HIM PUTTING TOGETHER A PRESENTATION. YEAH, MAY DAY HAS BEEN CELEBRATED FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. IT WAS ORIGINALLY THE FESTIVAL OF FLORA, THE ROMAN GODDESS OF MARGARINE, AND CELEBRATED THE RETURN OF SUMMER, WITH DANCING AROUND A MAYPOLE ` A TRADITION ENJOYED TO THIS DAY IN WEST AUCKLAND. SINCE 1886, MAY DAY HAS ALSO BEEN ABOUT SUPPORTING WORKER RIGHTS LIKE... THAT'S QUITE A SPECIFIC ONE. ANYWAY, WHILE MANY COUNTRIES TAKE TODAY OFF, HERE WE'VE GOT SOMETHING EVEN BETTER ` A NEW YOUTH WAGE OF $11 AN HOUR. WAY TO CELEBRATE WORKERS' DAY. HEY, JOHN, IF YOU HATE TEENAGERS SO MUCH, HOW COME YOU MADE A 16-YEAR-OLD MINISTER OF LABOUR? Does greg have a dressing room? AFTER THE BREAK ` A LITTLE ROLE REVERSAL. # JOSHIE, JOSHIE, HAVING SO MUCH FUN. # WORKING TOGETHER, THEY GET THE JOB DONE. # THE GENDER OF THE BACON BRINGER HAS CHANGED. WE MEET A STAY AT HOME DAD. THEN, IT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ` HOW TO MAKE A HARD DAY AT THE OFFICE A LITTLE BIT HARDER. Don't miss your chance to personally own a part of Mighty River Power. Make sure you visit mightyrivershares.govt.nz while you still can to share in it. WE TALKED ABOUT MATERNITY LEAVE THE OTHER NIGHT, AND SOME OF YOU POINTED OUT, QUITE RIGHTLY, THAT IT'S NOT JUST MUMS WHO TAKE TIME OFF WHEN THE BABY'S BORN. THESE DAYS THERE'S EVERY CHANCE THAT MUM EARNS MORE THAN DAD AND GOES BACK TO WORK FIRST. MATT CHISHOLM TAKES A LOOK AT THE LIFE OF A STAY-AT-HOME FATHER. SELA ALO'S CRACKED 40, BUT HE'S FAR FROM GROWING UP. LMFAO'S 'PARTY ROCK ANTHEM' PLAY THIS IS HIM IN THE PURPLE WITH HIS MATE, PULLING OFF A MINI FLASH MOB. SATAN LIVES IN THIS BOTTLE. HERE HE GOES AGAIN, KNOCKING BACK A SHOT OF EXTRA-HOT CHILLI SAUCE. OH! (LAUGHS) OH MY GOD! WHEN I SAW THAT, I THOUGHT, 'IS THIS FELLA CAPABLE OF BEING A GOOD STAY-AT-HOME DAD?' (LAUGHS) THAT'S HONEST. THAT'S GOOD. YEAH, YEAH. OH, SOMETIMES EVEN I ASK MYSELF. HE MAY QUESTION IT, BUT HE'S DOING IT. HE GOT UP. HE GOT UP THERE BY HIS WINGS. SELA'S BEEN, WELL, A HOUSE HUSBAND FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW, AND IT'S WORKING FOR HIM. LADIES ` THEY LIKE IT. THEY LIKE SEEING A DAD LOOKING AFTER THEIR YOUNG ONE. THERE IS A CUT-OFF AGE, THOUGH. I THINK JOSHIE'S AT THE CUSP OF THAT. YOU KNOW, IF I WAS HANGING AROUND WITH MY 9-YEAR-OLD SON, IT WOULDN'T BE AS ATTRACTIVE, I THINK, TO THE FEMALES. ARE YOU IN A MUMS' COFFEE GROUP OR WHAT? I HAVEN'T GRADUATED TO THE COFFEE GROUP. WHEN YOU GET TO THE TOP, GO, 'YEAH, BOY!' IT'S HARD TO PUT A NUMBER ON IT, BUT MORE AND MORE MEN ARE PUTTING THEIR HAND UP TO BECOME STAY-AT-HOME DADS, JUST LIKE SELA. HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN SAY THAT THEY CAN DO THIS, YOU KNOW. IT'S NOT REALLY WORK, YOU KNOW. I'M TRYING TO LOOK AFTER HIM AND BUILD THIS RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM SO HE CAN BE A BETTER PERSON WHEN HE GETS OLDER. IT'S THE OTHER SIDE OF WOMEN'S LIBERATION. YOU KNOW, MEN ARE SAYING, 'WELL, YEAH, IF WOMEN CAN DO ANYTHING, WE CAN TOO.' GO WEES? NO WEES, DAD. DO YOU COP A BIT OF FLAK FROM YOUR BUDDIES? DO THEY THINK YOU'RE TAKING THE PISS? MY MATES HAVE BEEN OK, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LIVING IN A SOCIETY NOW WHERE I THINK IT'S BECOMING MORE ACCEPTABLE. WE ARE LIVING IT UP HERE AT NIU FM. WELCOME TO THE... SELA USED TO CALL THE SHOTS ON BREAKFAST RADIO, MONDAY TO FRIDAY. IT WAS JUST TIME TO SAY, 'YOU KNOW WHAT? 'I THINK I'VE DONE MY TIME HERE, AND I WANT TO TRY NEW CHALLENGES.' HE'S STILL GETTING UP EARLY, ONLY HIS LISTENERS ARE CONSIDERABLY YOUNGER. THIS IS MY ELDEST. HIS NAME IS KYAN. HE'S 9. SAY HI, KYAN. HI. HE'S JUST STARTED PLAYING RUGBY LEAGUE. OK, THIS IS THE YOUNGEST. HIS NAME IS JOSH. SAY HI, JOSHIE. HI. YEP. BUT THIS IS MY MIDDLE ONE, KATIE, MY ONLY GIRL. SAY HI, KATIE. HI. THIS IS KATLYN, AND SHE'S 5. AND HE'S 3 IN JULY. JOSHIE. ALL RIGHT, IF THAT'S GREEN... IT'S WEE JOSHIE SELA HANGS WITH THE MOST. YOU CAN'T GET THOSE MOMENTS BACK WITH YOUR KIDS. YOU CAN'T. YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE 2 FOREVER OR 3 FOREVER. AND WHILE THEY'RE AT THAT AGE AND YOU CAN MOULD THEM AND SPEND TIME WITH THEM AND GET TO SEE ALL THESE THINGS, IT'S PRICELESS. 'WE'RE IN A POSITION WHERE WE CAN AFFORD FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS, 'AND I'M REALLY GRATEFUL FOR THAT.'� DAD IS AWESOME AT COMBING YOUR HAIR, EH, HONEY? HEY? IT'S STABILITY. THAT'S WHAT IT IS. IT ALLOWS ME TO BE MORE COMFORTABLE WITH GOING TO WORK BECAUSE I KNOW THAT HE'S HERE. BUT ON THE FLIP SIDE, I GUESS... # BOB THE BUILDER. OH MY GOODNESS. LAUGHTER WE'LL CUT OUT THERE, JOSHIE. SELA'S WIFE, KATHY, WORKS AS A TOWN PLANNER AND RECKONS HUBBY'S DOING JUST GREAT. THEY'LL DO IT. IT MIGHT NOT LOOK THAT PRETTY, BUT IT'S DONE. LAUGHTER YEAH, I THINK I'M DOING A PRETTY GOOD JOB. I WOULD SAY ABOVE AVERAGE. I GUESS IF JOSHIE WAS OLD ENOUGH TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION HIMSELF, HE WOULD GIVE YOU AN HONEST ANSWER, AND I THINK HE WOULD PROBABLY BE LOWER. (LAUGHS) IS THERE ANY REASON WHY MEN COULDN'T BE AS GOOD AS WOMEN IN THIS ROLE? NONE. NONE, IN MY OPINION. # JOSH THE BUILDER... # BUT JUST HOW TOUGH IS IT? THIS NON-PARENT RECKONS SELA MAKES IT LOOK LIKE A WALK IN THE PARK. THERE ARE A FEW OF THOSE, BUDDY. THERE'S A FEW WALKS IN THE PARK, BUT IT IS A FULL-TIME GIG. BUT YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON IT. IN ANY WAY, DO YOU FEEL AS THOUGH YOUR MASCULINITY'S BEING QUESTIONED? LAUGHS: NO. YOU MEAN RIGHT UP UNTIL THIS POINT? LAUGHS: YEAH. NO, NOT AT ALL, MAN. NOT AT ALL. I FEEL LIKE I'M A BETTER MAN BECAUSE I'M DOING THIS. WE'VE GOT A STAY-AT-HOME DAD WITH US NOW ` AN AUSSIE COMEDIAN VISITING FOR THE INTERNATIONAL COMEDY FESTIVAL. LUKE HEGGIE, WELCOME. SELA MADE IT LOOK EASY? Here. He's not too far from the truth. It's pretty good. How many do you look after? Two? Yes. I find it hard to brush hair. Getting knots out. ARE you good at that? No. ARE MEN BETTER AT SOME ASPECTS OF PARENTING THAN WOMEN? I think we bring some rationality and common sense into it. ALL LAUGH ARE YOU PART OF A COFFEE GROUP? women are more empathetic and men are more risk-taking. What you do at the malls? Things can be a dicey at times. Do you go to women toilets? I go to parents rooms. OF COURSE, WHEN THE KIDS GROW UP THEY NEED A JOB, BUT IS IT OK TO PAY 16- AND 17-YEAR-OLDS A STARTING-OUT WAGE? WELL, THAT WAGE CAME INTO LAW TODAY, AND WE'RE GIVING THIS THE YEAH-NAH TREATMENT TONIGHT. # YOU SAY YES, # I SAY NO... # JEHAN CASINADER FOR THE NEGATIVE IN JUST A MOMENT, BUT FIRST CRAIG STANAWAY TELLS THE YOUNG'UNS TO JUST SUCK IT UP. ALARM BEEPS AS A TEENAGER, MY DAY STARTED EARLY ` IN A BUS STOP. I USED GET PAID $4.60 A DAY DELIVERING PAPERS, SIX DAYS A WEEK, FOUR YEARS IN A ROW, ALL BEFORE THE AGE OF 18 AND BEFORE SCHOOL. AFTER SCHOOL, IT WASN'T BENEATH MY DIGNITY TO PUSH TROLLEYS... FOR $3.78 AN HOUR. IN 1990, IT BOUGHT YOU NOTHING BUT OPPORTUNITY. # HANGIN' TOUGH. # I HUNG IN THERE, ALL RIGHT. IT TOOK TWO YEARS TO BECOME A CHECK-OUT OPERATOR. I WAS A MACHINE ` 25 ITEMS A MINUTE. THE AVERAGE IS ONLY 18. DID I GET PAID AS MUCH AS FULL-TIME STAFF? NO. MOURNFUL VIOLIN MUSIC THIS STORY GETS EVEN SADDER. I HAD TO PAY SECONDARY TAX ON TWO JOBS. 'SO HOW DID I GET THIS JOB? WORK ETHIC FROM MY YOUTH.' TEENAGERS, YOU GOTTA HANG TOUGH LIKE WE DID. ARE YOU SERIOUSLY COMPLAINING ABOUT $10.80 AN HOUR? TAKE IT AWAY, JUSTIN. # CRY ME A RIVER. # IN THE WORDS OF BRUNO MARS ` # I WANNA BE A BILLIONAIRE SO FRICKIN' BAD... # WELL, TRY DOING THAT WHEN YOU'RE EARNING JUST $10.80 AN HOUR. THAT'S HOW MUCH 16- AND 17-YEAR-OLDS COULD BE PAID FOR THEIR FIRST SIX MONTHS. BEHIND THE COUNTERS, I CAN SEE 16 YEAR OLDS, I CAN SEE 60 YEAR OLDS. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THEY'RE DOING... (WHISPERS) EXACTLY THE SAME JOB. REMEMBER, WE HAVE SKY-HIGH YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT HERE IN NZ, AND YOUTH WHO DON'T HAVE JOBS ARE OUT THERE TAKING DRUGS, TAKING LIVES AND TAKING PHOTOS OF THEMSELVES TO PUT ON FACEBOOK. SO HOW DO WE GET MORE OF THOSE TEENS INTO WORK? WELL, I KNOW ` WE CAN PAY THEM EVEN LESS. YEAH RIGHT. WE DON'T PAY PEOPLE LESS BECAUSE OF THEIR GENDER OR THEIR RACE, SO WHY PAY TEENS LESS JUST BECAUSE OF THEIR AGE? SURELY THEY DESERVE TO BE PAID ON MERIT JUST LIKE THE REST OF US? I WANNA KNOW HOW MANY POLITICIANS WOULD ACCEPT A STARTING OUT WAGE WHEN THEY GET INTO PARLIAMENT. You is jobs in time. IS 11 bucks to load to pay a teenager? I don't think so. It sounds pretty good. McDonald was the worst job. It wasn't pleasant. AFTER THE BREAK ` THE BEST WAY TO KEEP ONE STEP AHEAD IN THE WORKPLACE. AND HE'S FOND OF PIGTAILS, CROONING AND FAMOUSLY ONE OTHER THING.

WE KNOW WE'RE MEANT TO EXERCISE, BUT SOMETIMES ` OK, MOST TIMES ` WE JUST CAN'T BE BOTHERED GETTING OFF OUR BUTTS AND LEAVING THE OFFICE TO DO THE EXERCISE. BUT WHAT IF YOU COULD DO BOTH AT ONCE? # LET'S GET PHYSICAL, PHYSICAL. # I WANNA GET PHYSICAL. JAMES GILBERD MAY HAVE THE ANSWER ` A WALKING DESK. # LET ME HEAR YOUR BODY TALK. # I WAS SITTING DOWN FOR PROBABLY THE FIRST FIVE YEARS IN THE OFFICE, AND I KIND OF THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, SITTING DOWN, YOU HEAR HOW BAD IT IS FOR YOU, AND SO I TRIED STANDING UP. AND I LIKED THAT, AND I THOUGHT, 'WELL, WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP?' LITERALLY, A WALKING DESK. DID YOU TRY WITH, LIKE, WHAT, THOSE SWISS BALLS? SITTING ON THOSE FOR A WHILE? YEP. I FOUND I COULD SLOUCH JUST AS EASILY ON A SWISS BALL. LIKE ALL KIWI MALES, JAMES CONSIDERED THE NUMBER-EIGHT APPROACH FOR HIS WALKING DESK. I WAS GONNA MAKE IT MYSELF. I WAS LOOKING ON THE INTERNET. THERE WAS A LOT OF RESOURCES FOR, YOU KNOW, PROJECTS LIKE THIS. BUT THEN I FOUND THAT ELITE FITNESS ACTUALLY SELL THEM. AND ARE THEY SELLING? DEFINITELY. YEAH, YEAH. SO THERE'S MORE AND MORE ENQUIRIES EVERY WEEK BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE THE CONCEPT, AND WHEN THEY COME AND CHECK IT OUT, THEY GO AHEAD WITH IT. NOSTALGIC MUSIC BUT THE WALKING DESK ISN'T ALONE.

AND TURN YOURSELF INTO A KNOB WITH THE PRAT CYCLE. SO ARE ALL GYM MACHINES GOOD FOR THE OFFICE? WHAT ABOUT THE VIBRA-TRAIN? QUAVERY: HELLO? HELLO? SO WHILE THE WAKING DESK MAY BE ALL GO, I LEARNT THAT... I'M NOT SURE IF ALL GYM EQUIPMENT IS GOOD FOR THE OFFICE, YEAH. (GROANS) 'THE OFFICE' THEME It seems a really good idea.
