Joseph Moore is joined by X Factor NZ warmer-upper Eli Mathewson and Lili fan Paul Williams to discuss the week of Kiwi classics. In a noisy Balmoral McDonald’s, they discuss meat ethics, Broad farewells and the controversial Tiki Taane backlash.

Fresh from the live show, inside scoops include Steve’s set mayhem, Brendon Thomas and the Toilet and the triumph of Tori Kelly.
