FastCast: David Seymour on Losing Mum to Cancer, Twerking, Gaffes & Tall Poppy

David Seymour, maybe the most polarizing and divisive politician in New Zealand, joined me on the podcast at the start of 2023.


I thought I’d revisit our podcast and share it as a Fastcast because he recently confirmed he is engaged to his partner of two years, Alexandra Martelli.


One of the standout moments for me in our conversation was about a home-made DVD that David has which he has never ever played. It was given to him in his early 20s by his mum just before she died from cancer. 


The DVD was intended as a gift for David to give to his life partner. So, assuming they can find a working DVD player, Alexandra will be the recipient of that very special DVD.


Also, in this Fastcast we run through David's catalogue of viral media gaffes.


His thoughts on tall poppy syndrome.


And reflections on twerking on DWTS and some valuable life lessons.
