Nothing to See Here. Episode 1 Rwc2011 Special

Hey guys, and welcome to Nothing To See Here. I’m Red and we’ve got a sweet show lined up for you today, including an interview with one of New Zealand’s hottest bands right now, Midnight Youth. As you can see I’m decked out in all my World Cup memorabilia and we’re here at the Kingsland Train Station waiting to catch a train to Auckland’s opening night celebrations at the Waterfront. But first, let’s catch up with a few guys I talked to earlier in the week. How did all this come about? I mean, did you it'd be great to get five deaf guys to work for you? How did it all come together? I've only been here 18 months-2years, and I actually inherited four I've actually hired another two since then So I actually have six working for me So are there any humorous things that have happened on the job? Yeah, there's something about hearing people they're always teasing the deaf people. Anytime, any day, they're vacuuming the cars inside the car, they have to vacuum it the hearing people run up and switch off the vacuum cleaner and then take off! And the deaf person keeps vacuuming! Because they don't know that it's gone off! They're very funny, They bring their own culture with them they're actually quite hilarious they come around with some pretty funny jokes. And what would you say is one of the funniest things you've found inside a car? We've found women's bras before, and thrown those out and told each other and had a laugh about it. We've found used condoms, ripped condoms one that was really awful. We've found DVDs and *** Who would you say is the most famous person's car you've cleaned? Who's the most famous person's? D-A-N, Daniel Carter Yeah, I met him and he's really famous. They've got plenty of money, they can afford to get their cars cleaned here Yeah, they're very well-off. With having the diverse workforce that we do have it brings a lot of different cultures, which everybody embraces here and we all get along fine. I mean, it's just a great place to work. Hi, I'm Debbie, and I do sign. Today, I've got a real treat for you. Robbie Deans sucks, Go the All Blacks! I'm here in downtown Auckland We finally arrived, the atmosphere's electric there are people everywhere, it's a little bit ridiculous. There are supposed to be 50,000 people turning up here tonight to New Zealand's biggest fireworks and lighting display and some of the country's biggest bands including Midnight Youth. I caught up with them earlier in the week Here's what they had to say. Hey well thanks for joining us today guys, So for those of us that don't know who Midnight Youth are, how would you describe yourselves? I would say we're just a rock band from New Zealand Yep, pretty much that's it. Nothing else. And obviously you've got a new album coming out soon that's exciting, tell us a bit more about that. Oh man, it's been a long time coming and we are so stoked about it We just recorded it at York St Studios in Parnell Actually right now as we speak, we have an hour to decide what the album's actually going to be called so yeah. And of course you guys are playing at the Rugby World Cup It's a big night, Friday the 9th Are you guys excited? How are you feeling? Yeah man, it's going to be crazy aye.

It's going to be crazy. And are who are you rooting for? Who's your team? Well I'm going for South Africa. You must be a marked man amongst your bandmates. Oh I'm definitely a marked man. And I guess we've got a little challenge for you guys today if you're up for it In Wheels of Fire, contestants must battle their way in a wheelchair, through a series of obstacles a wheelie at the halfway line, and a sprint to the finish to earn their spot on the Wheels of Fire leaderboard.

Okay, sweet. Seriously, how hard is it to find an All Black? Obviously rather difficult. I've looked behind pillars, I've looked in trees, I just don't know what to do! Hey guys, how's it goin...?

The badge is on an All Black. We're here at the World Cup celebrations we're here to meet a few crazy lads, boys! Yeah! Wooo! I guess it takes all sorts, we've found some pretty curious characters down here as part of the World Cup celebrations. Boys, tell us what this is all about. Australia's coming over here, we didn't wana make them feel bad. So we dressed up as convicts. Guys, where are you from and who are you supporting? We're with the City of Auckland pipe band, We're playing in the opening ceremony tonight. Kiss me til the sun goes down! It's quite funny how in other countries, there'd be things happening, and balloons, and ferris wheels, and God knows what else, but in New Zealand, we're just happy to be entertained by the sheer number of people everywhere! You know, it's ridiculous! People from all around the globe, descending on our little city for this one night. It's quite exciting to be here. Well the sun is setting on opening night celebrations but the party is by no means over. The opening ceremony's going on behind me, and I'm about to sit back and watch the fireworks kick in. I hope you enjoyed the first episode of Nothing to See Here. See ya next time!
