AS WE SAY, GO TEAM NEW ZEALAND. TIME NOW FOR SEVEN SHARP, AND THE PEOPLE BEHIND THOSE AMERICA'S CUP PICTURES. YES, IT'S A HELL OF A JOB TRYING TO CATCH THE BEST SHOTS YES, IT'S A HELL OF A JOB TRYING TO CATCH THE BEST SHOTS OF THOSE BIG CATS ON THE WATER. WE TAKE YOU BEHIND THE SCENES TO SEE HOW IT'S DONE, SHORTLY. FIRST, THOUGH, THERE'S A SPECIAL BOND THAT DEVELOPS BETWEEN WORKMATES. AFTER ALL, YOU SPEND A LARGE CHUNK OF YOUR LIVES TOGETHER. BUT HAVE YOU EVER SAVED YOUR COLLEAGUE'S LIFE? ONE MAN IN NGATEA HAS, SPRINGING TO ACTION WHEN A STAFF MEMBER HAD A CLOSE BRUSH WITH DEATH, SHOWING THE TRUE POWER OF WORKMATE-SHIP. (UPBEAT MUSIC) IT WAS A SEEMINLY NORMAL DAY AT THIS NGATEA 4 SQUARE. THE SHELVES WERE STACKED, CUSTOMERS WERE FLOWING. BUT FIONA GOLDBY HERE WASN'T QUITE FEELING HERSELF. AT LUNCHTIME, I FELT A LITTLE BIT OFF, A BIT OF A HEADACHE, AND THEN I CAME BACK TO WORK. SHE SOLDIERED ON UNTIL... APPARENTLY I HAD A HEART ATTACK AND A CARDIAC ARREST WHILE I WAS SERVING A CUSTOMER. FIONA WAS ON THE GROUND BEHIND ONE OF THE CHECKOUTS. ANOTHER TEAM MEMBER STARTED DOING CPR. AND THEN FROM THERE ON, WE BASICALLY FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE 111 OPERATOR AND THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT WERE COMING OFF THE AED. FORTUNATELY, HER BOSS, RICHIE, KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING. BUT NOT ALL OF US ARE UP TO SCRATCH ON OUR FIRST AID KNOWLEDGE. WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO? AND BOTH FIONA AND RICHIE WITH US NOW. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US, FIONA. IT'S FANTASTIC TO SEE YOU ALIVE AND WELL. WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER FROM THE DAY? NOT A LOT. I GOT UP AS NORMAL, AND I DIDN'T FEEL QUITE RIGHT. I WASN'T SURE WHAT IT WAS. CAME TO WORK. AND ABOUT LUNCHTIME, I THOUGHT I'D GET MY BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKED BECAUSE IT WAS PLAYING UP A LITTLE BIT AND CAME BACK TO WORK. AND I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING AFTER THAT FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. I MEAN, YOU WERE CLINICALLY DEAD. YOU MUST BE FEELING PRETTY LUCKY TO HAVE COLLEAGUES LIKE RICHIE. I THINK I WON THE LOTTO. (CHUCKLES) YEAH. HEY, RICHIE. WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR HEAD AT THE TIME? EVERYTHING WAS A BIT OF A BIT OF A BLUR. IT ALL JUST HAPPENED SO QUICKLY. WE'RE JUST THANKFUL THAT THE HAURAKI PLAINS AREA COMMITTEE DONATED THE AED TO THE STORE ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO. WE'RE THANKFUL THAT THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME WE'D EVER HAD TO USE IT. AND WE'RE JUST THANKFUL FOR THE TRAINING THAT THEY GAVE US AND THE FIRST AID COURSE WE ATTENDED AS WELL. AND EVERYTHING JUST KICKED INTO GEAR LUCKILY. YOU MAKE IT SOUND SO SORT OF SIMPLE, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU SAY 'JUST KICKED INTO GEAR'. BUT I MEAN, WERE YOU PANICKED OR DID YOU FEEL LIKE YOU KNEW WHAT TO DO AND YOU HAD IT UNDER CONTROL? NAH, THERE WAS DEFINITELY PANIC, BUT THE BIGGEST THING WAS JUST TO TRY AND REMAIN CALM, TRY AND THINK OF WHAT YOU'D LEARNT IN THE FIRST AID COURSES AND JUST HOLD ON AND DO YOUR BEST UNTIL THE PROFESSIONALS COULD GET THERE. AND HOW RELIEVED WERE YOU THAT FIONA'S OK? OH, 100%. IT'S AWESOME. HE'D BETTER BE. (ALL LAUGH) WELL, FIONA, WHAT` COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER OUTCOME. WELL, FIONA, WHAT DO YOU REMEMB`? WHAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU REMEMBER? I MEAN, WHEN DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED? WAKING UP IN HOSPITAL AND TALKING TO MY HUSBAND. WOW. IT'S PROBABLY ABOUT A DAY AND A HALF LATER. YEAH. THAT MUST HAVE BEEN VERY STRANGE. I DO REMEMBER GOING INTO THE HELICOPTER, BUT THAT WAS IT. AND WHAT'S YOUR MESSAGE TO PEOPLE WATCHING THIS TONIGHT? IF YOU CAN ACCESS OR HAVE AN AED MACHINE, WHEREVER YOU ARE, GET ONE, AND IF YOU NEED TO BRUSH UP ON YOUR FIRST AID SKILLS, CERTAINLY DO IT, COS IT SAVED MY LIFE. I UNDERSTAND IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY WEEKEND THIS WEEKEND. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO BE DOING TO CELEBRATE? SOMETHING HUGE? LEAVING TOWN. (BOTH LAUGH) MY HUSBAND AND I ARE HEADING... (LAUGHS) MY HUSBAND AND I ARE HEADING OFF TO WHITIANGA FOR THE WEEKEND. WE DESERVE A BREAK. YOU CERTAINLY DO. YOU REALLY DO. I THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE TO TAKE RICHIE WITH YOU. I THINK HE MIGHT NEED A BREAK TOO. THANK YOU SO MUCH, FIONA AND RICHIE. OK, THAT'S A NO TO THAT. CAPTIONS BY JULIE TAYLOR, MICHAELA CORNELIUS AND JESSIE PURU CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ COPYRIGHT ABLE 2021 I WAS THINKING THIS AFTERNOON, WHAT I WOULD PROBABLY MOST LIKELY HAVE TO SAY TO YOU IN TERMS OF FIRST AID. YOUR YOUNG SPECIMEN, FIT AND HEALTHY BUT YOU CERTAINLY ARE A CHOKING HAZARD. HE EATS A LOT. BASICALLY ALL AFTERNOON. DESPITE THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE, I RECKON I COULD PULL OFF THE HEIMLICH MANOEUVRE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO SHE BROKE HER ANKLE. I WAS THERE TO PICK HER UP AND HELP HER. WITH BANNED ALCOHOL SINCE THEN. THERE IS NO MORE ALCOHOL. HOW DO YOU. AND YOU CAN BUY OR RENT DEFIB KITS FROM ST JOHN. WELL, LET'S JUST SAY WHAT A START. IN FACT, WHAT A CRACKINGLY CLOSE START! TWO RACES DOWN, AND ONE WIN EACH. YES, THREE YEARS AND ALMOST NINE MONTHS AFTER EMIRATES TEAM NEW ZEALAND RECLAIMED THE WORLD'S OLDEST SPORTING TROPHY IN BERMUDA, THEY'RE OUT ON THE WAITEMATA HARBOUR DEFENDING IT IN STYLE. MOST OF US ARE WATCHING ON SCREEN. BUT WHO'S BRINGING US THOSE SPECTACULAR PICTURES? HERE'S MICHAEL HOLLAND. SO THE CUP'S NOW SERIOUSLY UP FOR GRABS. BUT BE ASSURED THERE'S ANOTHER EQUALLY FIERCE RIVALRY ON COURSE. HOW FRENETIC? OH, IT'S CRAZY. IT'S CRAZY. LET'S CALL IT THE AMERICA'S CAMERA CUP. THE FLASHY FLY BOYS VERSUS THE SALTY TRIO ON THAT WEIRD-LOOKING CAT. I'VE GOT TO ADMIT IT LOOKS A BIT BIZARRE, BUT I'VE BEEN WORKING LIKE THIS FOR THE LAST THREE OR FOUR AMERICA'S CUPS. ANOTHER TACK, GUYS. ANOTHER TACK. THERE'S A BIT OF TENSION BETWEEN US AND THE HELICOPTER. WE ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO GET THE BEST SHOT, THE SHOT OF THE DAY. WE ALWAYS THINK WE PRODUCE THE BEST ONES, OF COURSE. WHATEVER YOUR PREFERENCE, THEIR AIRBORNE AND WATERBORNE ARTISTRY COMBINING TO BRING US CLOSER THAN EVER. THERE'S NEVER A DULL MOMENT ON THIS BOAT. HOLD IT. HOLD IT. HOLD IT. I'M BRINGING THEM TOGETHER. WE'VE GOT VERY FAST-MOVING ASSETS COMING AT US FROM ALL ROUND THE RACETRACK ON ALL SIDES. YOU MEAN RACE BOATS? RACE BOATS AND CHASE BOATS AND UMPIRE BOATS AND MARKER LANE BOATS AND SPECTATOR VESSELS, AND WE'RE HONKING ROUND THE RACETRACK APPROACHING 40 KNOTS. FROM THE LEFT IN THREE, TWO, ONE, NOW. THANK YOU. FROM THE LEFT IN THREE, TWO, ONE, NOW. THANK YOU. UP HIGH, THE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CAMERA OPERATOR GLUED TO HIS VIEW FINDER AND PILOT GLUED TO HIS CONTROLS LARGELY INTUITIVE. A LOT OF IT IS WITH HIS BODY LANGUAGE. I CAN SEE HIM LOOKING AT THE SHOT AND STARTING TO MOVE TO THE LEFT, SO I THINK, 'OK, HE WANTS ME TO DRIFT TO THE LEFT.' HE'S LEANING? HE'S LEANING. HE'S A-LEANING. HE TALKS ABOUT YOU BEING A LEFT LEANER; DO YOU EVER LEAN TO THE RIGHT? OCCASIONALLY. OCCASIONALLY, TEND TO, YEAH IT'S ALSO BACK AND FORWARDS, UP AND DOWN. WE OPERATE ON ONE RULE ONLY. WE ARE ALWAYS TO BE ANYWHERE ON THE RACECOURSE AS LONG AS WE DON'T AFFECT THE OUTCOME OF THE RACE. WHAT'S THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MAN OUT THE BACK? WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER FOR 10 YEARS, SO AROUND THE BASE, WE ARE KNOWN AS THE FIGHTING OLD MARRIED COUPLE. SOMETIMES ADAM WILL SAY, 'LOOK, I THINK THE BOAT SHOULD BE HERE,' AND I REMIND HIM HE'S DRIVING THE CAMERA AND I'M DRIVING THE BOAT. WHAT'S YOUR ALTITUDE RANGE? OUR LOWEST, 1.5m. 1.5m? YOU ARE TALKING 4.5ft ` SOMETHING LIKE THAT? THAT'S THE VERSATILITY OF A HELICOPTER. WE NORMALLY DON'T GO ANY HIGHER THAN 500ft. LIKE THE CAMERA BOAT, THE HELI CREW DOING THEIR ALL TO STAY CLEAR OF THE COMPETITORS AND AVOID RADIO COMMS LIKE THIS. HEY, GUYS, CAN WE MOVE THE HELICOPTER OUT OF THE FRONT? HE'S ASKING TO MOVE THE CHOPPER. OUR WIND IS STARTING TO AFFECT ONE OF THE YACHTS OR COULD POSSIBLY AFFECT ONE OF THE YACHTS, THEN IT'S ALL PANIC, GET OUT OF THERE. ARE WE TALKING ABOUT A MAN NAMED SPITHILL? SO I HAVE HEARD HIM OVER THE RADIO A COUPLE OF TIMES, HIS NAME MENTIONED. JIMMY SAYS, JIMMY GETS? JIMMY SAYS, JIMMY GETS. (LAUGHTER) THE BIGGEST BUGBEAR, THOUGH. THE WORSE IS WHEN YOU JUST TAKE OFF AND YOU MANAGE TO GET A BUG RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LENS. HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THAT? YOU COME BACK AND LAND AND GIVE IT A CLEAN AGAIN. IT GETS UP AND BOOGIES. TO DRIVE, ITS KINDA LIKE A BIG JET SKI. IT JUST GOES, AND IT'S SUPER MANOEUVRABLE. I CAN PUT THIS INTO A FULL LOCK TURN AT 36 KNOTS, AND IT'S INCREDIBLY STABLE. (ROCK MUSIC) HAPPY AS LARRY OUT ON THE WATER. IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS. IT'S THE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE. THEY ARE FLY BOYS. THEY ARE THE GLORY HUNTERS. WE DO THE REAL WORK. (LAUGHTER) HOW GOOD WAS IT TODAY TO SEE THE RACING IS CLOSE. OBVIOUSLY WANT NEW ZEALAND TO WIN. YOU DON'T WANT TO BE TOO ONE-SIDED NOW, WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR EMIRATES TEAM NEW ZEALAND'S BIGGEST SUPPORTER, AND THANKS TO OUR FRIENDS AT GENESIS, WE'VE GOT OUR FIRST WINNER OF THREE. MEET SAM AND HER WORKMATES. SHE SENT IN THIS GREAT PHOTO. SAM'S GETTING A BRAND-NEW TV AND $2000 WORTH OF STEM RESOURCES FOR HER LOCAL SCHOOL, WHICH IS TAUPO INTERMEDIATE. CONGRATULATIONS. WELL DONE! BEING STUCK ON AN AUCKLAND MOTORWAY AT PEAK HOUR IS LESS THAN DESIRABLE FOR ANYBODY. BUT LAST NIGHT, IT WASN'T A CAR, BUT A KITTEN THAT WAS CAUGHT SKIRTING THE LANES IN SPAGHETTI JUNCTION. TE RAUHIRINGA HAS THE STORY ABOUT THE COP WHO CAME TO ITS RESCUE. IT WAS RUSH HOUR ON ONE OF AUCKLAND BUSIEST HIGHWAYS. THAT'S WHEN SENIOR CONSTABLE ROBERT CAMPBELL GOT THE CALL. SECTION 22. I'VE JUST RECEIVED A CALL FROM A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC ADVISING THEY'VE SEEN A KITTEN RUN ACROSS LIVE LANES AND IS IN THE CENTRE MEDIAN. CONSTABLE ROBERT QUICKLY SPRUNG INTO ACTION AND CAME TO THE TINY TABBY'S RESCUE. THE REPORTS WERE THAT THE KITTEN CROSSED LIVE LANES ON THE SOUTHERN MOTORWAY, ENDED UP IN THE CENTRAL MEDIAN AREA JUST FURTHER ON FROM HERE. ONCE SAFE; HE MADE HIMSELF AT HOME HIS SPEED DETECTOR BAG. (MEOWS) BUT THE STORY OF THIS KITTENS NEW HOME DIDN'T END THERE. AND SENIOR CONSTABLE ROBERT CAMPBELL JOINS US NOW. AND SENIOR CONSTABLE ROBERT CAMPBELL JOINS US NOW. LOVELY TO TALK TO YOU.

IT'S A HER, ISN'T IT? WE BELIEVE SO, YEP. DO YOU THINK YOU COULD GET HER OUT SO THAT WE COULD SAY HI? YEAH, I'LL GIVE IT A GO. SHE'S STILL A BIT TIMID. COME ON, PUSS. YOU'RE VERY SOFTLY SPOKEN. THAT'S GOOD. VERY GENTLE, ROBERT. THIS CAT ` IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY HAPPY CAT. LET'S HAVE A LOOK. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU. OH, THE SUSPENSE. HERE WE GO. OH, AND SHE'S PURRING. AWW, LOOK AT HER.

I TELL YOU WHAT, SHE LOOKS VERY MUCH AT HOME IN YOUR ARMS. HOW'S SHE DOING? YEAH, SHE'S` SHE'S DOING A LOT BETTER. WHEN I FOUND OUT SHE WAS INCREDIBLY FRIGHTENED. SHE WAS HISSING AT ME, SHAKING, SCRATCHING ME. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT HER SETTLED IN THE LAST 24 HOURS, SHE'S DOING REALLY WELL. IT'S A COUPLE OF MINOR INJURIES ON HER, WHICH` NOT SURE HOW THEY GOT THERE, POSSIBLY CROSSING THE ROAD, OBVIOUSLY. SO WE'LL BE GETTING HER CHECKED OUT TOMORROW AT THE VETS. YOU WERE SAYING THAT THE KIDS HAVE COME UP WITH A LIST OF NAMES. HAVE YOU DECIDED ON ANYTHING? NO, WE HAVEN'T YET. IT'S A WORK IN PROGRESS. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE FRONTRUNNERS AT THIS STAGE? I'M NOT TOO SURE. I'VE SEEN A FEW SUGGESTIONS OF LUCKY, AND THINGS LIKE THAT. LUCKY'S NOT BAD. IT SEEMS AN OBVIOUS ONE. I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST LUCKY. YEAH. YEAH. WE MIGHT PUT IT OUT TO PEOPLE AND SEE IF THEY COULD MAKE A FEW SUGGESTIONS, AND THEN WE COULD EMAIL THEM THROUGH TO YOU. YEAH, GOOD IDEA. THE KIDS ARE DEFINITELY OPEN TO THAT IDEA. LOOK AT HER, SHE'S` I THINK SHE'S WANTING OUT NOW. SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE MIGHT` SHE MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR HER KITTY LITTER, ROBERT. OR SHE MIGHT BE LOOKING TO CROSS THE ROAD AGAIN.

AND IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT THE KIDS RESPONDED TO LIKE BEES TAKE TO HONEY. ALAN'S BEEN FACING HEALTH ISSUES FOR OVER A DECADE NOW. HE'S HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH HIS KIDNEYS. HE HAD TO WAIT A LONG TIME ON THE TRANSPLANT LIST. THEN, UNFORTUNATELY, HIS WIFE, ANDREA, WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER, AND IT'S PROGRESSED TO A STAGE THAT IT'S TERMINAL. HE WOULD TAKE KIND WORDS. KIND WORDS ARE ALWAYS ENOUGH FOR HIM. BUT I JUST... I NOMINATED HIM COS I THINK HE DESERVES MORE. (UPBEAT MUSIC) THAT LOOKS VERY NICE, MR DIPROSE. WHAT HAVE WE GOT THERE?

FISHING JUST GOT EASIER THANKS TO A BOLD NEW PRODUCT DESIGNED BY A KIWI CALLED TOM JOHANSON, THE ENGINEER SON OF A FISHING TACKLE FAMILY. THE TRYCD ALLROD SYSTEM IS KINDA LIKE THE SWISS ARMY KNIFE OF FISHING RODS, AND IT COULD BE THE NEXT BIG THING. (BOLD ORCHESTRAL MUSIC) TOM JOHANSON ` PART ENGINEER, PART INVENTOR, ALL FISHERMAN. HIS FAMILY HAVE BEEN IN THE BIZ SINCE THE '80S. BUT JUST FOUR YEARS AGO, TOM CAME BACK FROM WORKING OVERSEAS WITH AN IDEA. AND TODAY, HE'S TAKING ME FISHING TO SHOW IT OFF. IF YOU'VE GOT SERIOUS FISHERMEN AND THEY ALL WANT TO TAKE THEIR RODS, IT'S FIVE OR SIX EACH, AND YOU JUST CAN'T FIT THEM IN. YOU'VE GOTTA LEAVE THE KIDS AT HOME. SO THE BEAUTY OF IT IS THAT YOU CAN TAKE THIS WITH YOU ANYWHERE YOU GO, AND YOU'VE GOT ALL YOUR OPTIONS THERE. SO YOU GOT YOUR ONE BUCK, LIKE YOU'VE GOT THERE. WE'VE ALREADY SET THAT UP, COS WE GOT A BIT CARRIED AWAY THIS MORNING. AND YOU'VE GOT ALL YOUR DIFFERENT OPTIONS. SO THAT'S YOUR SOFT BAIT. YOU'VE GOT STRAY LINE, YOU'VE GOT JIG, AND YOU'VE GOT STICK BAIT. SO PRETTY MUCH COVER 99% OF THE FISHING YOU DO IN THE HAURAKI GULF. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND TESTED HERE IN NZ. IT TOOK US ABOUT THREE YEARS, AND IT'S ABOUT FOUR YEARS TO THIS POINT, AND WE ONLY LAUNCHED IT LAST YEAR, LIKE, BANG SMACK IN THE MIDDLE OF COVID. OH, YEAH. (CHUCKLES) IT'S ACTUALLY MADE OF THREE LAYERS. SO WE'VE GOT A MICROFIBRE SO IT DOESN'T SCRATCH YOUR BABIES. IT'S GOT RECYCLED PET ON THE INSIDE. THERE'S ACTUALLY A STRENGTHENING ROD UP THE MIDDLE. IF YOU REALLY WANNA GET IT LIGHTWEIGHT, YOU CAN TAKE THAT OUT. YOU'VE ENGINEERED THE LIVING BE-JESUS OUT OF THIS. YEAH, MAYBE TOO MUCH, BUT IT'S PRETTY FUN, AND IT'S WHAT WE ENJOY DOING FOR SURE. WE'RE GONNA DO SOME STICK BAITING. TAILING SOME KINGFISH ON THE TOP WATER. IT'S AN EXCITING WAY OF FISHING. BUT FIRST, YOU'LL NEED ONE OF THESE. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? WHAT DO I DO WITH THAT? IT DOESN'T LOOK... IT DOESN'T LOOK VERY BIG. IT'S NOT GONNA COVER MUCH. WELL, WITH ME, IT PROBABLY WILL COVER EVERYTHING. IT PROTECTS IT. SO OBVIOUSLY WITH FISHING WITH BRAID, YOU'RE GOING TO BE DOING LOTS OF CASTING. COME HERE, MY DEAR KINGFISH. COME HERE. COME TO ME. OOH, I'VE GONE HIGH AND WIDE. OOH, I'VE GONE HIGH AND WIDE. (LAID-BACK MUSIC) COME ON. YEE-HOO! THERE WE GO. NICE AND SMOOTH. YOU BEAUTY. OH NO. JEREMY, TOO EAGER. TOM, I FIND SINGING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IN TE REO MAORI IS A VERY GOOD WAY TO SUMMON UP SNAPPER. HERE WE GO. # E IHOWA ATUA. # MANA... # MANA... THERE WE GO. LOOK! COME ON. THERE WE ARE. LOOK AT THAT! (CHUCKLES) IN YOU COME, YOU LITTLE BUGGER. JUST A LITTLE BUGGER. THE BEAUTY OF THE ALLROD SYSTEM IS THAT YOU CAN FISH IN SALT OR FRESH WATER. THE WADERS ARE NOT MANDATORY, BUT THEY DO LOOK RATHER STYLISH. OH YEAH, IT'S FRESHER THAN THE OCEAN. SOMETHING THERAPEUTIC ABOUT THAT, EH? I MEAN, IF WE LET OUT ENOUGH LINE, DO YOU THINK WE COULD CATCH ONE OF THOSE WIND SURFERS OUT THERE, ONE OF THOSE KIDS? I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU CAN ACTUALLY CATCH THEM THIS TIME. THIS IS AN AMAZING THING. SO ARE YOU TAKING THIS TO THE WORLD? ARE YOUR BABIES GOING TO THE WORLD? YEAH, THAT'S THE DREAM. THEY'RE SELLING REALLY WELL IN THE STATES. WE SELL A FEW IN AUSTRALIA. WE'VE GOT A DISTRIBUTOR IN AMERICA. BUT IT WAS ALL COUNTING ON ME GOING OVER THERE AND INTRODUCING THE PRODUCT, AND THAT LITERALLY HALTED WITH NO INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL. SO ONE QUESTION BEFORE WE FINISH. DO YOU HAVE FISH FINGERS IN YOUR FREEZER AT HOME? NO. NEVER BOUGHT THEM IN MY LIFE. WE TRY AND CATCH ALL OUR FISH. GOOD ON YA. HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IS MISSING OUT ON. AND TOM'S KINDLY GIVEN US AN TRYCID ALL-SALT ULTIMATE KIT WORTH OVER $1200. GO TO OUR FACEBOOK PAGE TO FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN WIN IT. WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST A MOMENT. ON THE SHOW TOMORROW ` WE MEET THE DAD TURNING CLASSIC HOLDENS AND FORDS INTO HEARSES ` IDEAL FOR THAT FINAL RIDE.
