Ever wondered what would happen if a 400kg live dolphin landed in your small fishing boat? Well, that’s exactly what happened to three Kiwi guys - and they share their incredible story. Today's "Great Kiwi" is, according to Paddy, the most beautiful man in New Zealand music - singer-songwriter Marlon Williams. He’s just released a song with Lorde and has a new album, tour, and documentary on the way. Gandalf is one of New Zealand’s "Green Fairies" - people who help sick people find relief through medical cannabis. Now facing police charges, Gandalf’s story has taken a turn, but Paddy shares how this unlikely figure changed his life. And finally, we meet some classic bogans who have proudly declared Upper Hutt as New Zealand’s most bogan town.
