Hello there and welcome to the great Kiwi Kettle Off.

Hey look, I love those. You read these messages that I just got.

Okay so Borders had a very angry message from his wife.

Why the F have you taken the kettle?

And I replied in capital letters, we're having a kettle race!

And she said a whole bunch of angry faces.

So if you're listening, just chuck a pot on the stove.

Yeah tell her about putting a pot and some water in the pot.

It's gonna blow her mind.

I was gonna say tell her to pop over to our house and ask Aaron.

But I'll take it out kettle.

No kettles. Okay so no kettles at the house.

Haley had the audacity to come into work yesterday and say I've got a fast kettle.

I've got a bloody nice bloody expensive fast kettle.

And then I was challenged to a kettle off and I accepted.

People that have had a cup of tea or coffee at your house always you allege.

Say you've got a fast kettle.

Yeah and even because I'm not a huge kettle user because we've got a coffee machine.

Pause for applause.

Whenever I boil in them I'm always like yeah that's pretty fast.

Okay well it's just a kettle.

They're all the same.

It's not all the same.

They've got an element in them.

You press the button.

Georgia on an outside perspective we've got six kettles on this table.

Which one looks the flashiest?

Because you don't know whose kettles who do Georgia.

I do know who.

I you do know whose kettles.

The two I like I know who's they are.

Okay well who's do you like?

Between you and Hayley.

Thank you I've got a nice kettle too.

I like um Tony Streets fat bottom girl here.

Yeah no we've got a hand me down.

Tony so let me get this right.

Shannon because our producers have brought in their kettles.

Shannon you this is a hand me down from one of New Zealand's favorite broadcasters Tony Streets.

Yeah about radio villain Tony Streets.

You used to work for Tony Streets but then she hit you and the company.

It's a lovely little talk to you as a rescue producer.

And you've got a couple of bad habits but we're being very patient.

All our producers are rescue we won't even want you to know.

We don't shop we adopt.

Maybe about a week into working with her she so this is like three years ago

she's like here you are welcome to coast and give me a kettle.

I don't even recognize that brand what is that?

Riches.

And I've never googled it which is weird because when a rich person gives you

something you always google how much it is.

And I've never googled it.

It's two hundred dollars.

It's two hundred dollars.

Oh my lord.

Your kettle is ten dollars more expensive than my was.

You know when you're upgrading from a two hundred dollar kettle what kind of kettle are you buying?

Yeah.

Well I wanted the Dolce and Gabbana Smig one which is seven hundred dollars.

You didn't buy that one.

I was told I wasn't allowed.

So because you said Mark Kettles so fast.

Mark Kettles.

We have all brought in our kettles and they are sitting on a table with each

exactly one liter has been placed into the kettles.

The producers have wired hard on this behind the scenes.

My prediction is that we're going to blow that wall.

We've got a surge block.

We're not going to blow the jugs are we?

No, no, no.

But there's no way it's going to be able to handle that draw.

Jared's going to come in and hold his finger on the surge button.

Just stop it clicking off.

Safe?

I think that's...

That's co-sha.

Well they know they did a test and it didn't blow them.

It didn't blow the circuit.

Okay so what we've done we've got each of our kettles on they're plugged into the same thing.

They have exactly one liter of tap temperature water.

Yep.

Um, literally they got filled up as the tap.

We turn the tap on and we let it run until it got to a constant temperature

and then fill them up one liter at a time.

Six jugs.

We're going to have a kettle off.

Now race to see whose kettle will boil at the fastest.

Now I want to know is the boiling where it clicks itself off?

Yes.

Okay and is your flash kettle set up to do that?

Because your flash kettle's got temperature controls.

Yeah so it switches off at 100 degrees.

Okay and I also have a the temperature counts up as it gets hotter.

So we'll actually have a running commentary of how hot the water is.

I reckon if listeners want to put on a bid or a vote, 9 6 9 6.

We've got Haley's Beautiful.

That's the one we're racing against really.

The Blue.

The Blue Breville.

The Breville Blue, yeah.

We've got Fletcher's White Kitchen Aid.

We've got Vaughn's Black Ancoe.

I'm a man of the people.

I've got a K-Mart kettle.

What can I say?

We've got Shannon's Candy Down.

You didn't know you had a K-Mart kettle.

I learned this morning at 4-5 and I was livid.

We've got Shannon's Hand Me Down.

Tony Street.

Tony Street.

With a brand that I've never seen in my life.

Jared, what are you rocking there?

That's a Canbrook.

That's a Canbrook.

Oh, that must be nice.

Must be nice.

And then Karwin's got sort of a cheap looking white jug.

Fast at Russell Hobbs.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Russell Hobbs.

If I had to vote for, is it a Russell Hobbs?

It's a Russell Hobbs actually.

I didn't think it was a Russell Hobbs.

I want to, I want to be clear.

This is not my jug.

Because I was going to say out of all the jugs,

that's the one I wouldn't leave unattended.

Yeah.

It's a homemaker.

I've never even heard of that.

Okay, so we've got a lot of votes coming in for White Kitchen 8.

Okay.

Lot of people really up in the Ancoe.

Up the Ancoe, man, of the people.

It's the people's kettle.

Up the Ancoe.

I reckon Streeties, I reckon Streeties is,

Streeties X jug that now belongs to Shannon, I reckon.

That's my favourite.

Do you know all I want to happen is Haley's to not be the first.

That's the only thing you care about.

Dude, people are invested in this.

I want you humble.

They want us to Instagram Live.

Someone is spending $500 on the street.

Are we able to Instagram Live this so people can watch?

Or is that too hard basket?

I can Instagram Live on mine.

No, because you'll get the followers.

Yeah, exactly.

Shut it.

Where's the FVH one logged in on whose phone?

Or what's the social media plan here?

We should have checked this off here.

Yeah, no, I'm going to make a video.

You're going to make a video.

Oh, she's making a video.

No, she doesn't want you uploading a video.

Okay.

Then I'm going to explain it.

Okay, we're going to come back next.

And we're going to race our kettles

in the Great Kiwi Kettle Off.

Do you know next week, who's winning?

I reckon we do Toast.

Next week, we'll do Test Out Toasters.

The Great Toaster Test.

See you there.

So all right, then should we do Toasted Sandwich Machine?

Yeah, why not?

Let us test our appliances.

Can't wait for Blender Week.

Play ZM's Fletchvorn and Ailey.

Play ZM.

Hello there, and welcome to the Great Kiwi Kettle Off.

Well, Ailey came into work and said,

I've got a fast kettle.

I do have a fast kettle.

Well, we're going to test it because we've all brought

our kettles and producers and all.

We've got six kettles racing against each other.

This is really, this is triggering me back to bake off.

Yum, Hinoe contestants.

Welcome to the Great Kiwi Kettle Off,

where today we're going to find New Zealand's greatest home kettles.

So many people are saying they're electricians.

Or appliance salespeople, they're like,

there's no way you're getting away with this tripping of the power.

Yes, we are.

Oh, no.

So but what happens if we trip to power?

Too much low.

Too much low.

We might have to evict some people from the race, okay?

Produce producers.

Do you think a multi-box can handle three?

Well, there's some plugs down here.

Why don't we plug around the studio if that happens?

Okay, we do a quick rearrange.

Now, it is going to take about three minutes,

up to three minutes for these kettles to boil.

So I think we, in 321, I'll say 321,

let's all switch the kettles on.

Three, two, one.

Okay, I heard it beep.

All right, it's tripped it.

We've lost power.

We've lost power.

We've lost power.

Strip it.

We've immediately lost power.

We've immediately lost power.

Oh, no.

Okay, let's end the relocation.

Oh, no.

Relocation.

Relocation.

We'll do a test, though.

I reckon leave three plugged in.

How many power points to move around the studio?

What did you do on Bake Off when the oven shat themselves?

We added a day to the schedule.

Okay, let's add a day to the schedule.

Too long again.

We'll be here on Sunday.

Okay, there's two plugs over here.

Two plugs over there.

Two plugs over there.

I've got to play our plug here.

The people are invested.

They must know.

There's two here.

Pass me a kettle.

Get me a kettle.

So we're actually going to plug into the mains now.

So if we drop off air and coast and hits and...

All the stations in the building will lose power.

That's on us.

No, but there's backup power.

There is backup power.

Just in advance, sorry, Mike Hosking,

if we lose power.

Now, are we all plugged in?

We're all plugged in.

All right.

Who's got blue?

Who's got blue?

Blue's over here.

Okay.

Okay.

Turn the kettles on and three, two, one.

Switch.

Are they on?

Okay, they're on.

They're on.

They're on.

They're on.

They're on.

They're on.

They're on.

They're on.

I forgot that nothing was going to happen once they're on.

They take a little time.

See, mine makes a little hiss first.

What's happening over there?

This is yours down here.

Yeah, the blue.

Your light's on.

He makes a little hiss.

What's happening over there?

We're boiling.

What's happening?

It's the Anko, baby!

The Anko's making some noise.

You've got to go as making a noise.

You've got to keep, I don't know, that's a good thing or not.

Keep an eye on them for the switches.

I've got my eyes on both switches.

Your kettle's not that fast.

Yeah, I want it done.

Mine's probably done.

Fletcher's at 28 degrees.

He's got a degree.

Yeah, I've got degrees coming down on my kettle.

Flash B.

Yeah, but what if-

We've got a couple of hummers over here.

We've got a couple of-

Yeah, totally.

Mine harms.

Mine harms, baby.

But what if my kettle is diverting power from heating

to telling me the temperature?

Yeah, exactly.

Suck it.

That's what happens.

Around the studio.

Can you get the mic down to Shannon?

Let's just see how the Anko's going.

Shannon, how's the Anko?

She's humming.

I'm getting warm.

Humming to that!

Getting warm down here?

Is it what it sounds like at your house

every time you put the kettle on?

Loud, though.

Loud.

But it's in the butler's pantry, so I don't hear it.

Vaughn, can we get a-

What's happening over in that corner?

Georgia.

You've got a glass top on your kettle here

and we are getting some condensation on the top there.

Jared, can we get the digital readout?

48 degrees on Fletcher's Kettle!

Oh!

Just a reminder.

Boiling temperature is 100 degrees Celsius.

We are halfway through the race.

And the kitchen.

I ate it.

Finally got some action from Carlin's Kettle.

Carlin's Kettle!

Carlin's Kettle.

Carlin's Kettle has joined the race.

It's classic, fantastic.

I like coming to the race.

Wait for the click.

Wait for the click.

How's that Anko sounding?

Loud.

Still loud.

Could be the camera.

Jared, digital update on Fletcher's Kettle.

58 degrees.

58 degrees!

Okay.

I tell you what.

Streety's is powering.

Well, Streety's is making some real noise.

Can you put my hand over?

Now, Georgia, your overlooking Streety's Kettle,

the hand-me-down and the fast, alleged blue breville from Hailey,

yell out as soon as any of those turn off.

You've got to keep your eyes on those lights.

Streety's is hotter.

Streety's is hotter.

It's hot on the outside, but maybe the water inside.

It could be losing heat through there.

That's right.

Conductivity is a...

What?

It sounds close.

The Anko is sounding close.

Someone ticks in saying that Anko's at a loud.

Breville's not even putting out any...

Has anyone put yet?

Jared, a temperature readout.

78.

78!

78!

Oh, yeah.

And I would...

It's just turned on.

It's just turned on.

Oh, 78!

Tony, I told you.

What?

I told you.

You disqualified.

He's out.

He's disqualified.

What?

He's out.

Disqualified.

I told you the checker settings.

It came off.

Fletcher's out.

He's disqualified.

Come on, Streety's is coming.

Streety's is...

But it's getting...

It's getting on the movement.

You know, on the side there, you've got the little gauge.

Kiddles just shed itself or won't turn on.

What have you done to my Kiddles?

That's you.

Wait, wait, wait.

You don't know.

We have a winner.

You're out of the race.

What does it sound like over there?

It's quiet.

It's gone.

It's about to finish it.

It's about to finish it.

Is Anko about to click off?

It's about to click off.

What's Breville?

Streety's is close.

Breville's not doing anything.

What?

Breville's...

What?

Breville's getting a little bit of steam coming out the spout.

Breville's about to click off.

Oh, Breville's getting some bowling.

Breville's about to click.

Breville's about to click.

Breville's the bowling.

Kiddles is about to pop at any moment.

Haley's Kiddles or Tony Streets hand me down, Kiddles.

One of these Kiddles.

Breville's absolutely up and behind.

That was out.

Cowan's is still lukewarm.

Cowan.

Breville, Breville.

Breville's clicked.

Breville's clicked.

Breville's clicked too.

I told you.

I told you I got a fast jug.

I told you.

Wait, Jared, is mine even turning back on?

Nope.

Nope.

No.

Fletch, we have to try another plug.

Wait, who's in second place?

Wait a minute.

Is the light still on on the back of the Anko?

Yep, it is.

Shreddy's is going.

Shreddy's is going, Shreddy's is going.

Tony Streets.

Shannon's in second place.

Fletch is, okay.

Fletch is dead.

Cowan's out.

They're putting a tent over Fletch's.

Can't all ladies and gentlemen,

we'll just cut away from the camera angle on that.

Okay.

Shannon, what's happening in your corner

with the Canbrook and the Anko?

They're silent, but they haven't clicked.

They're silent, but they haven't clicked.

Okay.

So they're still both my lights on on the back.

They're clicked down.

Yeah, they're clicked down.

No way, did you killed my Kiddles as well?

No, it's on.

I can see the light.

Yeah, so on.

It's on, Shreddy.

It's just, it's a K-Mark Kiddles.

It takes a little bit longer.

Yeah.

Not that I can speak,

because apparently my KitchenAid has shed itself.

Oh, okay.

You've killed the outlet over here.

Your Kiddles and Cowan's Kiddles died.

Wait, it's not my Kiddles.

It's the outlet's fault.

Bang, sorry.

They just had to do that.

It was the kind thing to do.

Off to the factory.

Are you sure?

I could probably just still plug mine

into another outlet and beat you.

I got to tell you guys,

the Canbrook and the Anko have still not clicked off.

No, I reckon,

well, we don't have all day,

born.

I think you've just got to accept it.

I think we've killed that.

No, your light's on, Han.

Is it?

Sweety, hot.

It's already finished.

How hot's the water?

At the end of the day, guys.

It's hot, yeah.

At the end of the day,

the Breville one.

She didn't, she made it home.

You do have a fast 10.

I don't.

What?

Okay, I'm going to tell you.

Can we have a rematch

with a new plug for mine?

Absolutely not.

I'm unfair and square.

It's so hot in here.

I feel like I would have beat you.

We've steamed this.

We've steamed this room.

Good for the pause.

Well, that was, yeah.

The wall socket's gone too.

Okay, so we've broken that wall socket as well.

Hayley's cheated.

What she claimed was the light,

she could see was a reflection of the...

No, but yours was still bubbling

when mine went off, mate.

Okay, look, mine was bubbling

before yours was bubbling.

I'm going to call for a rematch here

because we don't have the same socket.

You've got a socket.

Can you listen?

Can you use New Zealand?

Can you hear these sore losers?

Can you hear these sore...

Shannon in second place.

Can you hear these sore losers right now?

I don't know if we can afford to break

any more electrical outlets here at work.

Accept defeat.

We may need some of the electricians

that have been listening,

warning us against this

to come in and fix this.

Breville's number one.

Somebody said my zip beat you all

by about five seconds.

Oh!

15-year-old zip.

Proof!

Oh, another one in the bag.

It's a Versace bag as well.

If you enjoyed that,

give us a rating and review

and be sure to tell your mates.

You don't sound sincere there,

but I'm just reading what's written here.
