AND I'M SAMANTHA HAYES, AND ON THE PROJECT, AND NOW ON THE PROJECT, YOU'RE CURLING UP WITH A GOOD BOOK? JESSE, YOU'RE CURLING UP WITH A GOOD BOOK? YES, AND WE'VE GOT JUST THE RIGHT PERSON TO RECOMMEND ONE. THIS REMUERA BOOKSELLER HAS BECOME AN UNLIKELY STAR ON TIKTOK WITH HER INSIGHTFUL BUT BRUTALLY HONEST BOOK REVIEWS. HI. AND HERE I AM BACK AGAIN. GAIL AT REMUERA. JEREMY: PAPER PLUS REMUERA HAS MADE IT TO TIKTOK... THIS IS A WONDERFUL THRILLER. ...THANKS TO GAIL'S REVIEWS. THIS IS A STORY, NOT AN EQUINE STORY COMPLETELY, AS YOU WOULD IMAGINE BY THE TITLE. SHE WORKS THERE AND, IN HER SPARE TIME, REVIEWS THE BEST NEW BOOKS IN STORE. THIS IS A BREATHLESS ADRENALINE RUSH THROUGH LONDON. SHE EVEN HAS CELEBRITY FANS LIKE CHRIS PARKER GREASING FOR A REVIEW. WHAT I WOULD GIVE FOR YOU TO MAKE IT ONE OF YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS OR JUST` EVEN IF YOU JUST READ IT, EVEN IF YOU JUST HELD THE BOOK IN ONE OF YOUR TIKTOKS. AND GAIL DIDN'T MISS A BEAT. A GREAT THRILLER BY CHRISTOPHER PARKER CALLED 'THE LIGHTHOUSE'. NICE ONE, GAIL. BUT DON'T WORRY, SHE DIDN'T LEAVE HIM HANGING. I'M SURE IT'LL BE A VERY FUN READ. JOINING US NOW IS GAIL FROM PAPER PLUS! HOW ARE THINGS BETWEEN YOU AND CHRIS NOW? ALL FRIENDS? SORT OF. NOW THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPOSED, I FEEL LIKE THAT OLD GRANDMOTHER THAT READ THE WONKY DONKEY AND BECAME INSTANTLY FAMOUS. WHAT MAKES A GOOD BOOK REVIEW? IF YOU ARE HONEST, AND I AM QUITE HONEST FOR SOME PEOPLE, IF THEY CAN SEE YOUR ENTHUSIASM AND YOUR ENJOYMENT AND WHAT CHALLENGES YOU, THAT MAKES A GOOD REVIEW. I'VE JUST READ THE NEW TOM HANKS, AND DIRECTLY LOVED HIS FIRST BOOK. AND I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED, AND I WAS VERY EXCITED TO READ THAT SOME FAMOUS CRITIC HAD SAID THAT IF HE HAD JUST STUCK TO CHAPTER 2, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT BOOK. GIVE US A LITTLE PROJECT BOOK REVIEW. WHICH BOOK SHOULD I BEST KNUCKLING UP WITH FOR WINTER? JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU LIKE. I LOVE A GREAT NOVEL, FICTION, I WOULDN'T LIKE ANY DRUG USE OR MURDER. OK. SHE IS GOING TO GO AND GET IT. THIS IS PERFECT. THE BOOK BINDER OF JERICHO. NO DRUG USE, SO YOU WILL BE PLEASED. THIS IS A STORY OF TWO WOMEN SET ABOUT 1914, BOTH VERY DIFFERENT. ONE OF THEM IS ON A BOAT AND ONE ISN'T. THEY ARE BOOKBINDER'S BUT HAVE AMBITIONS. NO SEX, NO MURDERS, BUT FASCINATING. WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOU'RE HALFWAY THROUGH A BOOK AND YOU ARE NOT ENJOYING IT? SHOULD YOU KEEP GOING TO THE END? I'VE TOLD YOU, NO. DON'T. MARSHALL MCKERN MANY YEARS AGO SAID THAT READ PAGE 65, THIS WAS BACK IN THE 1960S, AND IF PAGE 65 READS WELL, THEN YOU WILL ENJOY THE BOOK. QUITE OFTEN I DO OPEN IT AT PAGE 65. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF YOUR BIG NEW TIKTOK AUDIENCE? I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE REMUERA BUSINESS PEOPLE THAT WERE FOLLOWING US. I THOUGHT THAT WAS NICE. THAT GOT A LOT OF TIME TO BE LISTENING TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY WHEN THEY ARE RUNNING A BUSINESS, AND MY BOSS IVY OWNED UP TO THE FACT THAT SHE HAD BEEN PUTTING ME ON TIKTOK. HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT WRITING A BOOK YOURSELF? NO. THERE ARE TOO MANY BOOKS. DEFINITELY NOT. YOU DON'T WANT TO ADD TO THEM? SELF PUBLISHING SHOULD BE SHOT! I AM GOING TO POP IN AND GET A RECOMMENDATION FROM YOU. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AT NIGHT. IT IS MY PLEASURE. THIS IS THE PROJECT. GUY MONTGOMERY IS HERE! (CHEERING, APPLAUSE) I KNOW THAT YOU ARE A BIG READER. I HAVE FRIENDS WHO BULLY ME AND SAY THAT I'M A NERD FOR READING BOOKS. I THINK IT'S BECOME ASPIRATIONAL THING. YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE IT EASIER THAN WATCHING TV AND PICKING UP YOUR PHONE, SO I READ TRASH. IF SOMEONE ASKED ME WHAT THE BOOK I WAS READING WAS, I FEEL A PANIC BECAUSE OF GOT TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING GOOD, BUT IT HAS BEEN THE LATEST JACK REACHER. I'M GOING TO GO AND HANG OUT WITH GAIL. MAY BE JUST TO SET ME RIGHT. I'M GOING TO PAPER PLUS TO HANG OUT WITH HER. ALSO TONIGHT, A PERFECT FRIDAY TONIC FOR A TOUGH WEEK ` WE'LL LOOK AT THE BEST BOOK CHARACTER DRESS-UPS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY. AND WE'LL SPEAK TO A KIWI LIVING IN CANADA ABOUT WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LIVE IN A NATION ON FIRE. THAT'S JUST AHEAD. THEY SAY FIND A JOB YOU LOVE, AND YOU'LL NEVER WORK A DAY IN YOUR LIFE, BUT UNEMPLOYMENT RATES ARE SKYROCKETING, SO I'LL STAY HERE FOR NOW AND GIVE YOU YOUR DAILY DOSE! IT'S ALL RIGHT. UP FIRST, NOTHING BUT WHOLESOME VIBES TONIGHT AS WE LOOK AT THE UNBREAKABLE BOND BETWEEN BOY AND CAT. HAVING A SNUGGLE, THOUGH THE CAT SEEMS TO BE MOUTHING, 'HELP ME!' AND THERE'S NO HOPE. DOWN HE GOES. A CAT NOT ENJOYING HUMAN INTERACTION. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES (?) UP NEXT, TO A BALLET RECITAL. LINEUP UP THERE ` SO CUTE. OH ONE FALL AND BOOP, BOOP, BOOP, BOOP ALL DOWN. DISASTER, BUT EVERY PARENT THERE IS SAYING, 'AWESOME! 'NO LONGER HAVE TO SIT THROUGH THE WHOLE RECITAL.' AND FINALLY, A DAD STEPPING IN WHEN THE KIDS JUST CANT BREAK OPEN THE PINATA. NOT AS BAD AS HIS LATER DECISION TO CUT THE CAKE WITH A CHAINSAW. THAT WAS YOUR DAILY DOSE! YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN THE IMAGES ` HAZY RED SKIES, SMOKE COVERED CITIES MAKING EVERYTHING LOOK LIKE THE APOCALYPSE. IT'S CAUSED BY THE WILDFIRES RAGING IN CANADA, AND THEY'RE SHOWING NO SIGNS OF LETTING UP. THIS IS A SCARY TIME FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE, NOT JUST IN ALBERTA, BUT RIGHT ACROSS THE COUNTRY. UNRELENTING FLAMES IN CANADA HAVE ALREADY SCORCHED AN AREA ABOUT THE SIZE OF BELGIUM. SOME OF THE MOST DRAMATIC WILDFIRES CANADIANS HAVE EVER SEEN. THIS IS HAVING A FAR REACHING AND DRAMATIC IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY. CANADA IS ON TRACK TO HAVE ITS MOST DESTRUCTIVE WILDFIRE SEASON IN HISTORY. CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE UNDER A THICK HAZE OF SMOKE, WITH FIRES BURNING FROM THE EAST TO THE WEST COAST. MORE THAN 400 FIRES, AND LESS THAN HALF ARE UNDER CONTROL. OVERWHELMED CANADIAN FIREFIGHTERS HAVE DRAFTED HELP FROM CREWS IN FRANCE, THE U.S., PORTUGAL, SPAIN, MEXICO, AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN EVACUATED. OVER 3m ha HAVE BURNED, AND IT'S NOT LETTING UP. THERE WAS SMOKE, AND SOME OF THESE YOUNG PEOPLE WERE GETTING SICK. AND ALL THAT SMOKE IS CROSSING THE BORDER, DARKENING THE SKIES UP AND DOWN THE US EAST COAST. YESTERDAY, NEW YORK CITY WAS ONLY SECOND TO DELHI FOR THE WORST AIR QUALITY IN THE WORLD. IN JUST THE LAST HOUR, WE'VE WATCHED LOWER MANHATTAN AND ONE WORLD TRADE CENTRE DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY INTO THE SMOKE. AND WHILE POLITICIANS ARGUE OVER WHETHER CLIMATE CHANGE IS TO BLAME, EVERYDAY PEOPLE ARE BRACING FOR WHAT'S GEARING UP TO BE A SCORCHING NORTHERN SUMMER. SOPHIA JOHNSON IS A KIWI COMEDIAN LIVING IN VANCOUVER, AND SHE JOINS US NOW. SOPHIA, HOW ARE THINGS LOOKING? UM, WELL, YEAH. YOU KNOW, ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MAJOR DISASTER CAUSED BY CLIMATE CHANGE. SO, GREAT. YEAH. YEAH, BUT ONLY WE DON'T HAVE, LIKE, A MAYOR THAT WE CAN GET REALLY ANGRY ABOUT AND BLAME. SO THAT'S, LIKE, KIND OF WORSE FOR US. WHAT'S THE MOOD LIKE AMONG THE PEOPLE OVER THERE IN VANCOUVER? I IMAGINE IT'S ALL ANYONE CAN TALK ABOUT. SADLY, THIS HAS BECOME PRETTY NORMAL. THE THING THAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS YEAR IS THAT IT'S EARLY, AND THE SMOKE ADVISORY WARNINGS WENT OUT TODAY. SO GUESS IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS WE'LL BE DROWNING IN SMOKE. DO THEY HAVE, LIKE, A SMOKE FORECAST SIMILAR TO A WEATHER FORECAST SINCE IT'S A REGULAR OCCURRENCE NOW? YEAH, THEY DO. THEY DO. THEY'RE PRETTY GOOD WITH THE TEXTS. SO YOU GET CLIMATE TEXTS FOR HEAT WARNINGS, AND YOU ALSO GET, I GUESS, A FORECAST THAT YOU GET THE AIR QUALITY WARNINGS AS WELL. SO THEY'RE, LIKE, 'BE CAREFUL,' YOU KNOW, 'DON'T GO OUTSIDE'. THEY ADVISE YOU TO KEEP ALL THE WINDOWS AND DOORS CLOSED, AND IF POSSIBLE, YEAH, HAVE AN AIR CONDITIONER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND THEY HAVE` DURING THE HEAT WAVES ` BECAUSE YEAH, PEOPLE DIE DURING THE HEAT WAVES JUST FROM THAT, NOT NECESSARILY FROM THE SMOKE ` THEY HAVE COMMUNITY BUILDINGS AND SAFE SPACES FOR PEOPLE TO GO SO THAT THEY CAN COOL DOWN AND BREATHE. HOW ARE THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS LOOKING? UH, THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS? UM, YEAH, I THINK JUST` AS I WAS WALKING HOME FROM MY SHOW TO COME AND DO THIS, I JUST STARTED TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF THE SMOKE COMING IN. UM, SO... I THINK WORSE. I MEAN, IT'S JUST VERY HOT RIGHT NOW. AND IF YOU REMOVE THE ENVIRONMENTAL CATASTROPHE ELEMENT, DOES THE SKY LOOK PRETTY COOL? UM, ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. (CHUCKLES) IT'S LIKE LIVING IN A BLADE RUNNER SCENARIO, BUT WITHOUT HARRISON FORD. NO, IT'S EXCITING AS A FOREIGNER, I GUESS. LIKE, THE FIRST FEW YEARS, I WAS, LIKE, TAKING LOTS OF PICTURES OF THE BLOODY SUN AND THE SMOKE, AND NOW I'M KIND OF LIKE, 'OH, THIS IS A LITTLE BIT LESS COOL.' STAY SAFE OVER THERE, SOPHIA. THANK YOU FOR TALKING TO US. THANK YOU. BYE! IT WOULD BE VERY UNNERVING TO BE IN NORTH AMERICA AT THE MOMENT DO YOU GUYS REMEMBER WHEN AUCKLAND WENT ORANGE? FOR THE AUSSIE FIRES. I THINK WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT IT FOR VERY LONG BECAUSE COVID CAMERA IN THE BACK OF IT. IT WAS A VERY AIRY TIME IN NEW ZEALAND. IT WAS SORT OF THE BEGINNING... NOT THE END BECAUSE WERE STILL GOING. WERE JUST WAITING FOR EVERYTHING TO GO BACK TO NORMAL AND THERE WAS A SLOW EROSION OF HOPE THAT THAT WOULD HAPPEN AND THEN JUST ENJOYING WHAT WE'VE GOT. OF GLAD YOU PUT THAT CUTE LITTLE CHERRY ON IT. LET'S ENJOY THE END! MORE UPLIFTING MESSAGES FROM GUY COMING UP. PICTURE BEING ON YOUR RIDE HOME, CHILLIN' ON THE TRAIN, AFTER YOUR BUSY DAY ` A GROUP OF PEOPLE START SINGING BOY BAND SONGS. THIS HAPPENED ALL WEEK IN AUSSIE. WE'LL EXPLAIN WHY, NEXT THE PROJECT. I'M HERE WITH EMMA FROM OUR STUDIO AUDIENCE. THEY'RE GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT'S COMING UP, SO, EMMA, READ THAT! THANKS, JEREMY. SINGING IS LOVELY, BUT THERE'S ONE PLACE AUSSIES DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT. THAT'S NEXT ON THE PROJECT. WELCOME BACK. EATING DISORDERS OFTEN FLY UNDER THE RADAR AND GO UNTREATED. TONIGHT WE LL MEET A YOUNG KIWI WHOSE FRIENDS' INTERVENTION MAY HAVE SAVED HER LIFE. THAT'S NEXT. BUT FIRST, A STUNT TO LIFT THE SPIRITS OF MELBOURNE COMMUTERS HAS BACKFIRED BIG TIME. TRANSIT OFFICIALS ARRANGED 'SPONTANEOUS SING-A-LONGS' WHERE MUSICIANS BROKE OUT INTO SONG ON TRAINS AND AT STATIONS. BUT IT SEEMS MANY DID NOT ENJOY AN ACOUSTIC RENDITION OF BACKSTREET BOYS 'I WANT IT THAT WAY' DURING THEIR BUSY COMMUTE. ONLINE COMMENTS WERE OVERWHELMINGLY NEGATIVE WITH ONE SAYING, 'THIS IS EASILY THE WORST THING THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN TO ME.' THAT'S A NO. THAT'S WHY WE INVENTED THEATRES, TO CONTAIN IT. WHAT YOU DO WHEN SOMEONE IS TRYING THEIR BEST RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE? YOU SUPPORT THEM. I'M PRO THESE PEOPLE SINGING ON PUBLIC TRANSPORT. WE SHOULD DO IT ON NEW ZEALAND BUSES TO. I FEEL SORRY FOR THE PERSON WHO CAME UP WITH THIS. AND THEN THEY WENT, LET'S FIND OUT HOW PEOPLE LOVED IT. IT CAME OUT ON TWITTER THAT PEOPLE WERE FRUSTRATED ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THEN THEY HAD THE SAY, GOOD NEWS, IT WAS US! IS BETTER THAN SPENDING THE MONEY ON FIXING A PROBLEM. IT'S ALL ABOUT DISTRACTION. THE NUMBER OF EATING DISORDERS HAS SKYROCKETED IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. NOW, ONE WELLINGTONIAN IS SHARING HER EXPERIENCE WITH ANOREXIA IN A NEW BOOK, IN AN EFFORT TO HELP OTHERS FACING SIMILAR STRUGGLES. MY LIFE REALLY WASN'T A LIFE WORTH LIVING AT THAT POINT. IT WAS JUST HABITS, BAD HABITS, DESTRUCTIVE HABITS. JESSE: BRITTANY FARRANT-SMITH KNOWS ALL TOO WELL HOW DEBILITATING EATING DISORDERS ARE. FROM THE MOMENT YOU WAKE UP TO THE MOMENT YOU GO TO SLEEP, YOU ARE THINKING AND THINKING AND THINKING ABOUT FOOD BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT EATING ENOUGH FOOD. IT'S THE ONLY NARRATIVE THAT YOU HAVE. IT'S TO THE POINT THAT YOU LOSE YOUR OWN SELF. EVERY NOW AND THEN, I WOULD GET GLIMPSES OF THINGS THAT I USED TO ENJOY, LIKE WRITING AND PLAYING MUSIC AND HANGING OUT WITH FRIENDS, AND I WOULD ACTUALLY ENJOY MYSELF IN THOSE TIMES, AND THAT WAS SOMETHING I WAS LOSING. EXERCISE HAD ALWAYS BEEN A BIG PART OF HER LIFE, BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL HER SECOND YEAR OF UNI THAT IT BECAME PROBLEMATIC. I STARTED GETTING INTO EXERCISE REGIMES THAT WERE RIDICULOUS, REALLY ` UP TO FOUR, FIVE HOURS A DAY WHILST TRYING TO NAVIGATE UNI LIFE. I EVEN EXITED A COUPLE OF EXAMS AN HOUR IN BECAUSE I KNEW I HAD PLANS AFTER, AND I NEEDED TO GET MY GYM TIME IN. SO IT WAS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL, REALLY, UNTIL MY FLATMATES ` THEY SHOWED AN INTERVENTION AND PULLED ME ASIDE ONE DAY AND CONFRONTED ME SAYING, 'YOU KNOW, I THINK SOMETHING'S WRONG.' YOU KNOW, 'YOU'RE QUITE THIN. YOU SHOULD GO SEE A DOCTOR.' AND THAT'S WHEN I WAS GIVEN A DIAGNOSIS. I HAD TWO YEARS NAVIGATING RECOVERY, QUITE A FEW MONTHS OF BEING ON TOP OF THE WORLD AND THINKING I WAS DOING REALLY WELL. AND THEN A LIFE EVENT WOULD HAPPEN, OR SOMETHING SMALL WOULD THROW ME OVER THE EDGE, AND YOU WOULD QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT YOU WERE EVER GOING TO GET TO THE OTHER END. FOR BRITTANY, IT WAS THE SUPPORT OF OTHERS THAT HELPED GET HER THROUGH. I THINK, FOR ME PERSONALLY, THE THINGS THAT I LIKED MOST WHEN PEOPLE WERE TRYING TO SUPPORT ME WAS JUST BEING THERE AND ME KNOWING IF I HAD A PROBLEM, I COULD REACH OUT TO THEM, AND THEY WOULDN'T JUDGE ME OR TRY TO GIVE ME SOLUTIONS. THEY WERE JUST GIVING ME A COMPASSIONATE EAR AND UNDERSTANDING 'THIS IS SOMETHING YOU'RE GOING THROUGH. 'I MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND. 'I DON'T NEED TO UNDERSTAND, BUT I'M HERE FOR YOU.' DR ROGER MYSLIWIEC JOINS US NOW. HE'S AN EXPERT IN THIS STUFF, AND, ROGER, EVERYONE'S GOT IDEAS ABOUT WHAT EATING DISORDERS ARE AND HOW THEY MANIFEST. ARE THERE ANY SORT OF COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS OUT THERE? YEAH, I THINK THE MOST COMMON MISCONCEPTION IS, WHICH ARE OFTEN HERE ` IT'S JUST IN THE PERSON'S HEAD. BUT RECENT, OR NOT EVEN THAT RECENT RESEARCH, ACTUALLY SHOWS US THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH A BIOLOGICAL DISORDER, WHICH IS ALSO STRONGLY GENETICALLY BASED. EVEN TO THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN SAY, SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE THAT KIND OF GENETIC LOADING, WHICH IS PROBABLY AROUND 60 TO 70%, WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EVEN DEVELOP THAT KIND OF SEVERE EATING DISORDER LIKE ANOREXIA AND BULIMIA. SO, ROGER, JUST EXACTLY, FOR THOSE WHO HAVE THEM, OR WERE AFFECTED BY THEM, OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS ONE, HOW SERIOUS ARE EATING DISORDERS? IT'S PROBABLY FAIR TO SAY EATING DISORDERS ARE VERY SERIOUS. IT'S MAYBE MOST TELLING IS THAT IT HAS THE HIGHEST MORTALITY RATE OF MENTAL ILLNESSES FOR YOUNG WOMEN. WOW. THE MORTALITY RATE OVER TEN YEARS IS ABOUT 10%. SO THIS IS REALLY SIGNIFICANT. BUT NOT ONLY THE HIGH MORTALITY RATE, IT ALSO HAS A VERY DEBILITATING KIND OF EFFECT ON THE PERSON'S LIFE. THIS IS A RACE AGAINST TIME. WE KNOW THAT THE RECOVERY RATES AFTER MORE THAN THREE YEARS ILLNESS, DURATION GRADUALLY DECLINE. WHEREAS IF WE HAVE EARLY INTERVENTION, WE HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF FULL RECOVERY, AT LEAST IN OVER 50% OF THE CASES. TALKING ABOUT THAT, IF I'M CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE I KNOW MIGHT HAVE AN EATING DISORDER, WHAT SHOULD I DO? I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO NOT TO IGNORE THAT, OR TO MINIMISE THAT, DEPENDING ON THE AGE OF THE PERSON. I THINK SIMILAR TO WHAT BRITTANY ACTUALLY ALSO HAS STATED HERSELF, SHE ULTIMATELY APPRECIATED THAT HER FLATMATES APPROACHED HER. IF IT IS A YOUNG PERSON, CLEARLY IT WOULD BE ALSO TALKING ABOUT IT TO THE PARENTS, AND ULTIMATELY, ALSO THE PARENTS IN THE FIRST STEP SHOULD THEN MAYBE SEE A GP, AND TAKE THE YOUNG PERSON TO THE GP. SO THE IMPORTANCE IS TO INCLUDE IMPORTANT OTHERS. OFTEN THE PERSON AFFECTED BY THE DISORDER MIGHT GET DEFENSIVE, OR EVASIVE, OR SAY, 'NO, DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT IT', OR MIGHT EVEN DENY THE PROBLEM. SO TAKE YOUR CONCERNS SERIOUSLY. I THINK AN IMPORTANT POINT ACTUALLY IS ` IT'S NOT JUST SOMEONE WHO VISIBLY HAS LOST WEIGHT. EATING DISORDERS CAN AFFECT PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, GENDER, AND ALSO BODY SIZES. THERE ARE DIFFERENT EATING DISORDERS WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF PRESENTATIONS, AND THEY'RE EQUALLY, SEVERELY, AFFECTING PEOPLE'S LIVES. REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANKS SO MUCH. YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT SOMEONE, OR NEED HELP YOURSELF, YOU CAN FIND DETAILS ABOUT EATING DISORDERS NZ ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE, AND YOU'LL ALSO FIND DETAILS ABOUT BRITTANY'S BOOK THERE TOO!

I'D BEAT A BUNCH OF PEOPLE IN AUSTRALIA AS WELL. YOU WERE TERRIBLE WHEN YOU BEGAN, NOW YOU ARE A GREAT COMEDIAN. I LOOK AT A GUY LIKE YOU, STILL GRINDING AWAY, YOU ARE A GREAT INSPIRATION.

THAT'S A NICE POSTER. I AM IN CONTROL OF MY LIFE. GO AND BUY TICKETS. I LIKE THAT IT THINKS HE'S IN CONTROL. RIGHT! ENOUGH ABOUT WHAT WE THINK. WHAT DO YOU THINK, AOTEAROA? LETS CHECK OUT THE FRIDAY NIGHT VIBES! ALIENS AND AI HAVE BEEN MAKING OMINOUS HEADLINES LATELY, WHICH BEGS THE QUESTION ` WOULD YOU RATHER LIVE IN A WORLD RUN BY ROBOTS OR ALIENS? ALIENS. ROBOTS. DEFINITELY ROBOTS. ALIENS. WHY IS THAT? WAY MORE FUN. PROBABLY ROBOTS, YEAH. SO THEY'RE DOING THINGS FOR YOU. I DON'T KNOW, ALIENS. YOU GET SPACESHIPS TO CRUISE AROUND IN. PROBABLY ALIENS. I FEEL LIKE ALIENS WOULD HAVE A HEART. AT MY WORK, THERE'S A ROBOT THAT SERVES FOOD, SO I THINK I CAN LIVE WITH THAT. IF IT WAS, LIKE, AN ALL-FEMALE ALIEN RACE, YES. IF IT WAS ALL MALE, NO. ALIENS. WHY? WELL, THEY JUST SEEM COOLER, REALLY. BALD, LIKE ME, BUT LONGER HEAD AND BIG EYES. ROBOTS ` YOU CAN TURN THEM OFF. BUT THEN, GIVEN HALF A CHANCE, YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO. I MEAN, I'VE SEEN A LOT OF LAWNMOWERS THAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SHUT OFF, BUT STILL CAN'T. YEAH, EVENTUALLY IT COULD GET TO THE STAGE WHERE THEY ARE MAKING DECISIONS THAT HUMANS USUALLY WOULD, BUT BASED ON ROBOT EMOTIONS WHICH DON'T EXIST. SO, WE'RE ALL SCREWED. ALIENS, BECAUSE THEN IT'S NOT CONTROLLED BY HUMAN THINKING. YEAH, OBVIOUSLY ALIENS WOULD BE LIKE MORE... HUMAN-LIKE COS THEY'RE FLESH AND BONE. WHEREAS ROBOTS LIKE` DO YOU KNOW WHAT AN ALIEN LOOKS LIKE? WHAT IF IT'S A 10FT ALIEN? I GOT MY FRIEND. (LAUGHS) I'D ALSO SAY ALIENS, BUT PROBABLY BECAUSE I'M ASSUMING THAT THEY HAVE SYMPATHY OR EMPATHY. CHUCKLES: WE'RE DOOMED EITHER WAY. DO YOU WANT TO GIVE A MESSAGE TO OUR FUTURE ALIEN OVERLORDS? THEY MIGHT SEE THIS. UH,... TAKE IT EASY ON US. ('X-FILES' THEME MUSIC) ALIENS! THAT'S IT FOR US, THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR, CONTACT, AND THANKS TO GUY MONTGOMERY FOR JOINING US TONIGHT. THE FRIDAY NIGHT MOVIE, 'THE MASK' IS NEXT. THANK YOU FOR WATCHING, SEE YOU MONDAY.
