Alex WardGUEST
I'm a normal fan, not a nerd, just a normal fan.
Kyran NicholsonHOST
Have you been to Hobbiton?
Alex WardGUEST
I haven't been to Hobbiton, no. I've been to New Zealand a few times, but I haven't gone that south.
Kyran NicholsonHOST
BELL RINGS I might have some help here.
Kyran NicholsonHOST
Hello, Wax Quizzicle.

Can I ask a question? Of course you can.

It's possibly commercially sensitive, but do you think weddings happen at Hobbiton?

Jared WilsonHOST
That was amazing.
Erin LynchGUEST
And so It's definitely a huge part of my strategy to book my tours all through Viator on Rakuten for sure.
DeAndre KochHOST
And I'll say I'm actually a little bit surprised because the story you just talked about in Ireland, I experienced the same exact thing when it came to Hobbiton in New Zealand, which is the Lord of the Rings, the Shire.
DeAndre KochHOST
And when I first booked it, I actually booked it direct through them and the dates had to change.
DeAndre KochHOST
And then I realized, oh, wait, this is on Viator.
Jamie MackayHOST
She's in Matamata.
Jamie MackayHOST
right beside Hobbiton, so we'll catch up with her as well.
Jamie MackayHOST
Michelle will have rural news, we'll have sports news for you as well, eagerly awaiting the naming of that All Black side, and we might have a celebrity guest just to finish the show out, if we can track him or her down.

Jamie MackayHOST
Tracey Brown is the chair of Dairy NZ.
Jamie MackayHOST
She's famous, amongst other things, for farming beside Hobbiton.
Jamie MackayHOST
Hey, carving in the Waikato region where you're based, Tracey, must be just about done and dusted.
Jamie MackayHOST
Tracy Brown is the chair of Dairy NZ.
Jamie MackayHOST
She's famous, amongst other things, for farming beside Hobbiton.
Jamie MackayHOST
Hey, carving in the Waikato region where you're based, Tracy, must be just about done and dusted.
Jamie MackayHOST
How's the season treating you?
Tracy BrownGUEST
So it's not just sort of components around production and profit, but it's also really highlights strong leadership, good governance and really... guardians of land and feno are taking a really long-term view around that.
Tracy BrownGUEST
And so there's valuable lessons for all farmers in that awards programme, I think.
Jamie MackayHOST
Tracey Brown, chair of Dairy NZ, farming beside Hobbiton there in Matamata.
Jamie MackayHOST
Did you go over the hill or across the plains, whatever it is? I'm not that good on my Waikato geography.
Aly RobertsonGUEST
There'll be some weekends where I do two half marathons.
Aly RobertsonGUEST
Which one's been the most fun? Oh, has to be Hobbiton.
Aly RobertsonGUEST
Has to be Hobbiton.
Aly RobertsonGUEST
That's the slowest half marathon I think I've ever done.
Aly RobertsonGUEST
But absolutely not the kind of race where you go into race.
Aly RobertsonGUEST
I think if you go into something like that to race, I'm not sure if you're familiar.
Aly RobertsonGUEST
It's Lord of the Rings.
Aly RobertsonGUEST
So, Hobbiton.
Matt ReuterHOST
So the first place that officially is on the books is for Cassie's birthday.
Matt ReuterHOST
We are going to do like a one of the big fancy Hobbiton tours.
Aviv RubensteinHOST
Is that not New
Matt ReuterHOST
Zealand? That is in New Zealand.
Gary MorleyGUEST
I mean, we saw, well, I stood in the Hobbit hole in stood right next to Bilbo's fireplace.
MillsyHOST
Yeah, Wilts and I went to, they've got Hobbiton, they've actually rebuilt it.
MillsyHOST
Wilts and I went to Hobbiton last year, but they did say that that was only for the exterior shots and all of the inside of Bag End was done elsewhere.
MillsyHOST
So obviously you've been on the inside and Wilts and I have been on the outside.
MillsyHOST
Yeah.
