I've got an amazing wonder drug to tell you about New Zealand, and it saved me in the last couple of weeks.

People are talking about it from top of the country to the bottom and it's not Ozempic.

No, I'm not taking Ozempic, though, I wouldn't mind trying it. I think a lot of people are curious.

David Seymour made this drug a priority. Yes, I'm talking about pseudoephedrine.

I felt sick, I took it, the symptoms disappeared.

I had a wedding recently and people said they wouldn't have come without it.

What must it be doing for our productivity as well?  Fewer sick days.

I spoke to a friend of mine who's a mum, she's got young kids, and you send your kid to daycare, they get all the bugs under the sun, they bring the germs home. The kids are gross and they pass it on to mum and dad.

Mum and dad go down like flies, they take time off work, et cetera, et cetera. And then bam, pop the miracle drug. Pseudo mums and pseudo dads.

So they are absolutely over the moon about this. It's the drug we forgot we needed, isn't it?

I said to my friend, what about the meth addicts? Because that's the argument, you know, the meth addicts will get it and then they'll cook it up and it could be stolen.

It's the precursor to p and she said, I don't care, they'll find it anyway. And I just need to get through my work week and get the kids to school.

So thank you David Seymour for Pseudoephedrine. And thank you to Big Pharma. It's really underrated Big Pharma, a lot of people give it a hard time.

It's like big oil, you know, just sometimes they do good things.

So cheers to whoever it is that makes it.
