He's wearing iconic black gumboots and shorts greeting his DJ music producer son with a "gangsta" shake before a question-and-answer session with his son that promises to tell all.
From the expensively furnished lounge of "Club Parnell" former prime minister Sir John Key features as the special guest on the first instalment of Keyed In, a special segment tagged on the end of Max Key's lifestyle and music promotion vlog.
He needs three takes before the retired leader gets the carefully choreographed handshake down pat. In undoubtedly relaxed but mismatched attire, he takes his seat to answer the question the nation wants to hear - who will win the election?

Taking the role of interviewer the young Key launches into a long-winded lead-up reminding his newly knighted father of some of the more infamous gaffes of his leadership.
