HOSTING 3: 07 The Prestige
Strawberry fields forever, plans for the ultimate wedding and a sad farewell. All good things must come to and end and just so, all good hosts must speed their guests safe to home. In this final episode, Guy and Carlo learn that friendship conquers all, no matter the cost, no matter the…

06 With Friends Like These
The forgotten history of Basketball, the satisfaction of self-directed tours and the true meaning of hosting. They say there are no enemies at the bottom of a bottle shared; even the greatest wrong, the vilest slight, the most vicious blow can be forgiven, if we open our hearts, to love. Guy and...
-
05 Lady Liberty
A trip to visit Lady Liberty herself. Carlo believes the New York City ports are an approximation of Sydney harbour because the boys took a ferry to visit the Statue of Liberty. It is clearly not modelled on York - perhaps instead it should be called Harbour Town or New Harbour Town. Guy and…

04 The Charm Offensive
How to eat a horse, the origins of Seinfeld and one heck of noise from a human being, they say there's always magic in the air on Broadway. Guy and Carlo have stared deep into the pit of despair, the yawning maw of human suffering from which no light, nor joy escapes but the stars are always...
-
03 James Bond’s Great Sense of Humour
The progress of a nation, the passengers of the RMS Titanic and a huge update on the fate of Guy and Carlo's excellent prank, the city of New York certainly does not fail to deliver. Only through hosting do we understand the vulnerability of the guest. Only through being a guest do we understand...
-
02 You Have To Draw A Long Bow
The Empire State Building, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-style sleeping arrangements and a prank that might just endear Guy and Carlo to their American friends, only through a shared understanding, a shared goal can the ill fates of yesteryear be repaired. Only through community can the…

3: 01 Burying the Hatchet in the Brooklyn River
The beauty of American-made sandwiches, the power of lists and a hilarious prank involving a very special ring, Guy and Carlo are reunited in the Auckland of the North, New York City. A new city, a new hemisphere, two antipodean friends on the wrong side of the globe. Might bygones stay bygones?...

Day 7
I know it is ending. It has to be ending because my arm says so. I have made a bad decision. Whoever is reading this must know I have made a mistake in coming here. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Day 6
I don't know what any of these words mean. Everything has lost meaning. I miss New Zealand. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Day 5
It feels like there is a lot more planning than holidaying happening. I am feeling quite frail but luckily Carlo is taking a lot of notes and helping me out to get around. We took two trips outside today. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy...
-
Day 4
How many tears are in a bottle of gin? I can no longer tell what is real and what isn't. Carlo assures me we went to the beach today but everything is dry. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Day 2
Having a little trouble keeping track of time but Carlo seems to be a very genuine and well intentioned host. My body clock has gone haywire, still haven't done anything on the tourism list but we've got a whole week to look forward to! I am very tired. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy...
-
Day 1
All is forgiven! It seems silly how nervous I was. Great first day with Carlo, very generous. Few cultural oddities (Australia Tourism pays everyone to act!?) but that is by the by. Happy to be here, excited for the week. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast. See...

Little Empire Lolly Scramble

Day Seven
Dear Diary, Homeward bound and I would be lying if I said I was happy to be leaving, mostly due medical advice that I shouldn't travel. A sad morning, an early start, suspicious packages and in just a few moments Guy and I will make our way to the airport. Aotearoa, it's been an adventure. Love…

Day Six
Dear Diary, A new best friend has certainly brought a glimmer of joy into my life, though with every silver lining, there is still a cloud. Sampling Guy's homebrew certainly proved more risky than expected and unexpected financial solution, while welcome, also raises questions about family…

Day Five
Dear Diary, A change of fortune and a new lease on life! Medical breakthroughs, a trip to the beach and a lesson in compound interest. With a new resolve I go into the second half of the trip with a great sense of purpose a broader outlook on New Zealand and indeed, New Zealanders. Trailer: The...
-
Day Four
Dear Diary I feel as if I am fading away on the wind as I watch Guy and his well dressed friends from the window of my room, made cell. Food poisoning is to be expected in overseas travel but it still comes as a shock, much like the traditional "water hazing" I was forced to endure this morning.…

Day Three
Dear Diary, Last night was one of the most emotionally difficult and indeed, physiologically damaging moments in my life. A lamb's life was wasted and a a familial relationship was cut off in its infancy. Physical distress should also be acknowledged and I now move on in life forever changed,...
-
Day Two
Dear Diary Why are there so many New Zealanders? Why are they here? Why am I learning about their presence for the first time now? These are just some of the questions I asked myself as we trekked through Auckland's most vibrant shopping plaza, the Great North Road. Perhaps Guy can ellucidate...
-
Day One
Dear Diary, I would not say I have been "subjected" to my first 12 hours in New Zealand but a degree of unwillingness must indeed be stressed. An egg breakfast made entirely of New Zeland produce, a cutlery rental and a great deal of confusion about the manner of which and the nature of where one...
