Kia ora Aotearoa, I don't know what day it is and I haven't shaved in a very long time. But that doesn't matter right now because it's time to get ready to bust up the boredom of your house prison. This is the ISO Luncheon. Please welcome your hosts standing two metres apart, it's Jono and Ben. Welcome along to the ISO Luncheon, Jono and Ben on the hits. This is day two for us. Of course, day 13 of lockdown. Thinking of everyone out there at the moment.

As a country, we're all doing it. You text me. We are all doing it, Ben. And this is just meant to be an hour of something. To do something in the 24 hours that you're not allowed out of your house. Yeah, exactly. Hopefully, I lift some spirits without lifting alcoholic spirits. Now,

or as I like to say, if you don't enjoy the show, just drink your hand sanitiser and it makes it 99.99% more bearable. No, no. Now, Easter, of course,

are happening this weekend and our Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, yesterday had big news regarding Easter. You'll be pleased to know that we do consider both the Tooth Fairy

and the Easter Bunny to be essential workers. It's great news. Oh, she's dropped the ball, hasn't she? What? I thought the borders were closed. Oh, you were. Now we're letting this wayward bunny in, who's travelling all over the world. You name every country this bunny's gone. Not going to isolate for 14 days,

you're right. Exactly. He's got his grubby mitts all over my chocolate. Where he has been to literally every country. There's no place in the world the money's not gone. And we're letting him recklessly close the borders. Close the borders. Call Newstalk ZB. Oh, 880 1080.

Should the Easter Bunny be allowed in? No, we have got a big show. If anyone calls ZB right now, they'll be like, what, we didn't throw that out, that topic. We've got Chris Mack from 660 joining us. We've got Tony Street as well. And our new game, we played it yesterday. It's called OK Zoomer. It involves

a boomer trying to work a Zoom video call. Here's what happened yesterday. Your father, do you think he's going to be able to hit us back on the Zoom within a minute? He's got 10 seconds. Come on, Mark. 9, 8, 7, 6, 7. This is OK Zoomer. Can Mark zoom his way

into our meeting? Did I just count from 9, 8, 7, 6, 7. This is okay, Zuma. Can Mark zoom his way into our meeting? We'll let you in. Did I just come from 98767? And the time is up, Mark. Oh, Mark. Oh, seriously. I haven't spoken to each other since. If you want to play with the boomer in your life,

0800 the HITS is the phone number, or you can text HITS, which is 4487 to us. If you want to play, we'll do that. An ETA isolation pack, a Griffin's isolation pack, an ETA to give away. Did I say that right? What I love is you said it with confidence. And that's why we get you to do these big gigs, mate. That's why we've got you in here.

They thought I was better for this job. They're finding out on day two I'm not that great. Jono and Ben's ISO luncheon on The Hits. Tell you what, I have never listened to so much Newstalk ZB in my life over the last month. Yeah, they're doing

actually a really good job. Not that I should be plugging another radio station on this station, but they're doing a great job with news and information. Not so many lulz, but it's not the time for lulz.

Why are we here? Well, you know, you need a break. Way to do yourself out of a job, buddy. Do you get fatigued by all the information? You do.

That's why I feel sorry for the host. It's just like, they're just like four hours a day of crazies phoning up going, shut down the world, Kerry. Close the life. Yeah. But anyway, I've been listening to a lot of Kerry McIver. She's in the morning after Hosking. Yeah, she's very good.

She's very good. I mean, they're all amazing. Very good broadcasters. I mean, we could only dream of being a droplet of sparkling water in Mike Hosking's Espelgrino bottle, couldn't we? Of talent. All right, no matter how much sucking up you're doing in this little chat, you're never going to end up there, all right?

I thought I'd just plant that seed and now we're here. You've made your choice. You've gone down, look at you, look at you with your tattoos, your broad hair, you're never going to get it. Look at you with your tattoos and your bald head. You're never going to go down that road. Look at your tattoos and your gloves, your plastic gloves. You've made a turn somewhere along the line. You're never going back down the way, mate. Your bald head and your bad tattoos.

You can't save yourself here. I can't, I can't. Glass houses for me anyway. Anyway, like I was saying, I was going somewhere with this. Okay. Until you railroaded it. It wasn't ZB, that's for sure. No, like I was saying, I was going somewhere with this until you railroaded it. It wasn't ZB. That's for sure.

No, hopefully in 15 years. Kerry McIver, so she's on after Hosking. She does the morning show. Everyone always goes on about the mother of the nation. I would liken Kerry to the naughty auntie. Oh, yeah.

The one who lets you suck on her vape pen. Yeah, yeah, I guess so. She'd be like, you know, the one who might pash one of your mates at your 21st. No, I don't think, no, like, you know, the one who might pash one of your mates at your 21st. No, I don't think, no, this is slandering the good name of Kerry McIver, mate.

She's awesome. No, I do love her. And you know why I love her? Because she is so polite to everyone. Producer Juliette here, Mill Jew, Millennial Jew. Millennial Juliette. She just went through an hour of Kerry's show. Yeah.

And listen to how polite she is. She says good thank you to every caller, but just in a tone that just makes you feel so happy inside. Good morning, Kerry. How are you? Good, thank you. Good, thank you. Good, thank you.

Yeah, good, thank you. Good, thank you. Great, thank you. Good, thank you. Good, thanks. Very well, thank you. Good, thank you. Good.

Great, thank you. Good, thank you. Great, thank you. Yeah, good, thank you. Good, thank you. Good, thanks. I'm very well, thank you. Good, thank you. Good, thank you. Good. Great thank you. Good thank you. Great thank you. Yeah, good thank you. Good thank you. Good thanks. I'm very well thank you. Good thank you.

Good thank you. Great thanks. Good thank you. Hi, I'm well thank you. Good thank you. She fluctuates between good and great. Good thank you. Good thank you.

Great thank you, you know. But isn't that polite? Oh, she is. Lovely. Lovely lady. So I'll tell you who's always a lovely lady. My mother, Annie Pryan. She's lovely because she manufactured me.

Okay, let's not get into those details. Well, I wasn't planning on it. How deep did you think I was going to go? I don't know. I look at you and I see a giant baby and this just scares me. So we're going to call Annie because I know she's a big fan of Kerry McIver and just see if we can have a conversation using Kerry's audio with my mother, Annie Pryor, who, by the way, detests coming on the radio.

She does. She doesn't like coming on the radio at all, so she won't like this phone call. And to be honest, you've explained how this works to me a couple of times. I still don't understand how this works, so I can't wait to do this. Okay.

Mildred, let's go through. Let's go through to the 03. They're in Christchurch in isolation, over 70. They can't go anywhere. Oh, right. No. But their neighbour's doing their shopping for them. Oh, that's nice.

That's the cool thing about it. It's a lot of community spirit. People are helping out other people in New Zealand right now, which is great. Annie, very stressed that she's running low on wine. Hello? Good, thank you. Good.

Who's this? Very well, thank you. Mildew! Did I screw that up? No, I did. I was just yelling your name because I needed someone to blame. Just blame me. It's fine.

I had three months to come up with a game. Is that how you saw it working? No. I don't know how I saw it working. I had really not thought through the format of that game. I'll move on then. I thought my mum might have been a bit more loyal. The Iso Luncheon with Jono and Ben on the hits.

He's the bass player for New Zealand's biggest band, 660. He's a great human being as well. And one of these people that can wear any item of clothing and not look ironic. I know. He really takes a risk with fashion. And I'm like, he pulls it off. He just pulls it off.

I couldn't pull it off. I'd be like, what have you come dressed as today, buddy? It's one of those things. He was described recently on another radio station as one of the biggest stars in New Zealand. So we had to go through his agent to get in this afternoon. It's Chris Mack from 660.

Hey guys. Yeah, sometimes when people say, you know, he likes to take a risk with fashion, I'm never sure whether it's a compliment or not. No, it's a compliment.

I appreciate that you can pull it off. And who called you the biggest star in New Zealand? Was that yourself on another radio station? Yeah, I sent that

through as a publicist and look, it seems to have worked and it's paying off already. You guys are talking to me and previously, look, I haven't through as a publicist. And look, it seems to have worked and it's paying off already. You guys are talking to me and previously, look, I haven't heard from you guys for a while. I understand maybe you weren't on radio, but I think that was an elaborate ploy just to not talk to me.

Now, Chris, you know, you're sitting at home, you're doing nothing right now, pretty much living the life of a musician. Yeah, not a lot's changed, I'll be completely honest. Like, you know, the only part I go into is on, like, on online apps like House Party or Zoom or, you know, whatever you guys are using. And I tell you what, those,

I thought I was going to be nice and good. You know, like, partying a bit down and all that kind of thing, but it's almost worse because you don't go home when you're on a house party call. You know, if you're out and about, you go home at a certain point, but if you're at thing, but it's almost worse because you don't go home when you're on a house party call. You know, if you're out and about, you go home at a certain point, but if you're at home, screw it, I'm already on the couch. The parties come to you.

That's right. But they get confusing. Sometimes I'm like, there's too many people on here. Oh, yeah, and you get everyone's notifications, so I need to know how to turn that off. Jono, there's no way that you are on the house party app. You don't even leave your house. It's not going to change now.

Fair call. I just was trying to be part of the team there and having a laugh. I've only ever seen you outside of work twice, and one of those was at a dinner party at Ben's house, and you left before dinner. It's true. Okay, I'll move on with the interview. What else have you got to ask Chris there mate?

We just tried to get hold of Chris And he had his do not disturb on his phone And we wanted to go through your message Your answer phone message Because we've got that recorded So here we go Here's Chris Mack from 660 His answer phone message

Hey you got Chris Mack Okay so stop it there Hey you got Chris Mack Lovely introduction You can leave a message Okay stop So you leave a message Which is great Okay, so stop it there. Hey, you got Chris Mack. Lovely introduction. You can leave a message. Okay, stop. So you leave a message, which is great,

because I'm ringing you up, and you haven't answered, but I can leave a message. But it carries on. That's kind of a pain in the ass. So don't text me. And then you fade out. You can leave a message, but it's a pain in the ass. You can text me or do some other stuff.

You know you can re-record those if you're not happy with them. Look, I'm a one-take guy. I'm a one-take guy. Did you review it? Did you listen back to it? I did not. It felt good. It felt good in the moment. It felt real. It felt raw. That's the kind of artist I am. And now speaking of being in a band, obviously

660, you're an artist. Just a couple of months ago, you were playing to 50,000 people at Western Springs. Now you can't even hang out with five people. It's crazy how the country's changed over a couple of months. No, and it's the kind of thing where we keep talking like, I wonder when we'll be able to play shows again. This is going to change the world forever. So I think everyone's trying to figure it out and, you know, everyone's doing these live streams and stuff,

which is great when you're the singer of the band, but when you're the bass player, it's a little redundant. No one wants to hear the bass track played on a Zoom meeting. Yeah, it's a TV, it's a couple of minutes, for sure. We should do the live bass play. But on a serious note, obviously every industry in the world is hurting at the moment and having to adjust, but there's so many hard-working people behind the scenes of New Zealand music

that must just be going, what are we going to do? Oh, yeah. Look, our 660 family is, you know, the backbone of what we do. There's no show without these guys. They're kind of like the unsung heroes and there's a lot of them. We're talking in some of the biggest shows, hundreds of people

go on to put that and our direct family is maybe like 50 people who are there doing the videos, doing the sound and those guys are hurting. So I think everyone's hurting but I do feel for them because it's literally all they have to hang their hat on. So, yeah, I guess at a time like these, you start to feel for those guys.

I know there's Music Helps. It's a good organisation. If anyone wants to check that out and see how they can support the people behind the scenes, that's worthwhile checking out. But, yeah, I guess every industry is doing it tough except you guys. Oh, yeah. Hey, mate, we're sitting here with gloves on, two metres apart,

saying some words into a microphone. Who knows if anyone's listening to this? I don't know. Just quickly before we go, we've got Chris Mack from 660. You guys are doing a lot of stuff with the rugby union at the moment. Is that including taking a tackle

from all-black Anton Leonard-Brown? That was the most pain I've ever been in in my life. It was a good hit. If you haven't seen it on Chris Mack's Instagram, go check it out.

Why did you get tackled by him? I don't know. It was pretty much an empty stadium. I don't know who talked you into this. Well, unfortunately, it was my idea

because I'm an idiot and I thought it would be funny and, you know, it was. It was. Yeah, it was funny. Did you get a few likes on Instagram? Oh, It was. It was. Yeah, it was funny. Did you get a few likes on Insta, mate? Oh, my God.

It was the most, yeah, honestly, the most pain I've ever been in. It hurt for weeks after. Between this and the voicemail message we just heard, I mean, your life decisions, Chris Mack, they're questionable. They are very questionable. This call has been eye-opening. We really peel back the layers on that. We'll let you sit in your bubble with that.

You can think about all the stuff we've covered. You guys are like New Zealand's Dr. Phil. Lovely to chat to you, buddy. Take care in your bubble, and we'll hopefully catch up with you on the other side. Yeah, thanks, guys. Good to talk to you. One hour of mildly entertaining radio.

It's Jono and Ben's Iso Luncheon. On the hit. A lot of businesses around the country right now are obviously struggling and we're feeling for everyone so we thought we'd do a wee game unsanctioned by our sales department. Oh, they wouldn't be happy.

No. If they were allowed in the building right now, they would drive down here in their Ferraris or Audis. Sorry, someone's FaceTiming me. I hope this is really important right now. I might just decline that. Might not be a great look to answer a FaceTime right now.

If it's a sales rep, you've got to take it, though. It's time for our new game. It's called Win an Ad. Don't tell the sales department because it's Jono and Ben's Win an Ad. So what we're going to do is we're going to give away a free ad, free advertising on the radio right now, but the slight catch is the person doesn't know

they're going to win the ad until we call them up. Now, it does seem a little counterproductive, Ben, given that, you know, the lifeblood of this company is advertising, particularly at the moment. Yeah, yeah. And we're just giving them away willy-nilly. Let's not pull back the curtain too much to how the radio industry works, all right?

Okay, so we're going to go through to a four square. Producer Jew, Millennial Jew, or Mill Jew as she's known, will dial through now. Yes, sure a four square. Producer Jew, Millennial Jew, or Mill Jew as she's known. We'll dial through now. Yes, sure. Good luck. Good luck dialing. Going to Gisborne. Gizzy, gizzy, gizzy.

Talks about the gizzy wave. It's something you should do right now, which is just the eyes. You're raising the eyes. Manga Papa, four square. Matthew speaking. Matthew's. John Owen Benno from the hits, mate. Hey.

How are you? Yeah, I'm all right. Guess what? You've won, buddy. Guess what? Don't tell the sales department because it's Jono and Ben's winning ad. We just thought because, you know, you're out there, you're doing great work for the community, we might give you a free ad on the radio.

Oh, yeah. You just got to fill in the blanks, okay? All right, then. Okay? All right. Have you heard about one of the Kiwi businesses? It's the... It's basically just the name of the place.

The Mongapapa Foursquare. There you go. It's famous for its popular... The beers. The beers. The popular beers. And don't forget the crowd favourite... Me on the door.

But wait, there's more, because that's not even the best thing about them. Let me tell you about it right now. The lines aren't always that long, but when they are, they go down to the end of the road. Can I just ask you a question? Do you work there or are you just a customer? No, I'm working. Who could forget their catchy slogan? Long and pop a four squares here,

always. Always? Or until it gets bulbed. It's here always. Come on. It'll be there forever. And their wonderful staff, who sometimes like to reveal a secret about themselves live on the radio. That's a stitch-up.

How deep do I go here? You don't have to answer this, all right? No, you do. We want full honesty. Reveal those skeletons in that closet. As his lawyer, self-appointed, I'd just like to say you don't have to answer this. All right Alright then.

So make sure you check out Among a Pop of Foursquare. There he goes. What a legend. Matthew, thank you so much. Hey, you're doing God's work out there on the front line, helping the community. You keep doing what you're doing in that place that you kind of remembered where you work. Stay safe, man. Nice talking to you. Thank you.

Jono and Ben's ISO luncheon. All the hits. Yeah, we've got to give a shout out. I love doing a shout out, Ben. Yeah. Marty! You don't have to shout. Marty's in his truck!

No, you don't have to literally shout. Delivering essential products across the whole of the North Island. Thanks, Marty, for listening. No, thank you. You don't have to shout. Apologies if you're listening to that on the radio. That got really loud.

Now, a lot of people doing great work like Marty there. Couriers are one of the many industries that are doing a great job all over the country. And couriers, I've got a bad track record with couriers. In the past, you've given me grief about this. A couple of years ago, a courier came into work. I had a package. It was delivered to me. I had a conversation.

We were talking about the TV show. So he lulled me into a false sense of security. That's a false sense of celebrity security where you're like, this guy is going to want something from me. Yeah, so as he left, he goes, oh, before I go, I better get a signature. And so I said, aha, mate, I'm not that famous. And to which he replied, yeah, I know.

I just need you to sign for the package. Oh, my God. Great, great bird. There is no more humbling moment as a crap celebrity to be shit. So I've always been quite wary of Korea since then. You had another incident where I'm seeing something. Remember, it was like a building awards or something. Let's not get into all this.

And then there's this lady who's walking past. She was going to the bathroom. I thought she was coming for a photo. He put his arm around her and she looked at him and he's like, you want to wear it? And she's like, I'm just going to the toilet. Yeah, so anyway, I really blow it up. You can't just wander out in public and assume everyone wants a photo with you.

So anyway, a courier came to my house yesterday. And now, you know, you've got to stand away from them. So I did the same thing. And hey, well done to the couriers too for putting themselves in there. Oh, they're doing a great job. So I stood up, you know, at least five metres away from them, but I'd sort of walked out in the morning just in my boxer shorts, shirtless.

And, you know, I was like... What a stud muffin. I was like, well, hey, we're just gonna, you know, it's the career. Hey, thanks very much for that. Cheers. And he got on his phone, and he was like, we're not doing signatures at the moment, you know, we can't sign for anything, so is it alright if I take your photo? I'm like, oh, yeah, sweet as, you know. So he took a photo, then as he left, I was like, oh, God, that photo't sign for anything. So is it right if I take your photo? I'm like, oh yeah, sweet as, you know.

So he took a photo of that as he left. I was like, oh God, that photo's now circulating of me in my boxer shorts, not looking great. It's going to be half of New Zealand just photographed in their underpants. Yeah, well, I heard actually on ZB the other day, News Talk ZB, Barry Soper, the political reporter, same thing happened to him in his pyjamas and dressing gown.

So I reckon after the lockdown. Mate, there's some website on the dark web called couriersnaps.net or something. And all these photos are being uploaded. Hey, you remember that photo we took in lockdown? You're like, yeah. You want that getting out? No, I don't. So yeah, that's happened.

Yeah. And you put clothes on after that? Yeah, I did actually. The ISO Luncheon with Jono and Ben on the hits. She's one of the best broadcasters in the country and one of the nicest too, which makes me think she must be hiding some stuff. Yeah.

I don't know, I don't know some secrets. Well, we're going to get those skeletons out of the closet now, Ben. You'll know her from TV, from radio and from Boobgate on 7 Sharp. It's Tony Street. How's it going? Very good. I'm glad to be known as Boobgate, but thanks, guys. No, I'm not going to explain any more than that.

No, I don't know what happened with Boobgate, but thanks, guys. No, I'm not going to explain any more than that. Yeah, no, I don't know what happened with Boobgate, but now I'm intrigued. Well, it actually sucks for me because the picture fits well together because I'm from a dairy farm and then I had others on National Tally. What happened? Oh, my God.

Give me more details. Well, the truth is our stylist at the time dropped the ball a little bit and he won't mind me saying it because he apologised for a few through the next day. Because normally, and you guys will know this, you get outfits for the telly and normally you have a try-on session. And we did have a try-on session, but I didn't sit down and the dress looked wonderful standing up.

But when I sat down, the dart right underneath my nipples drooped very badly and looked like I had big old... Got a hashtag boob gate. That was a big thing. Oh, I know. I think it's the first time I've ever made the Daily Mail, so it was a proud day. Tony, as Ben mentioned in the introduction, you are one of the nicest people in, not New Zealand, but the world. So I'm just going to fire out some hypothetical situations and you tell me if these have happened to you. Okay.

Okay, Tony Street, have you ever parked in a disabled car park? No, never. She'll never even think about this. I can answer these for her. Tony Street, have you ever risen anything mean or sarcastic in a comment section on the internet? Oh, here we go Oh, yes I have, but Oh, Tony! Are we allowed to explain?

Yeah, yeah, go on I've only been to people that deserve it, like the Sam Wallaces, the Mike Hoskings of the world Which is fine, I've dealt with a lot from those too, so I think it's alright With Tony Street right now Now Tony, I know that you've had some health issues, and so you've obviously got to be super aware about where you are in your special bubble, but Sam Wallace

is allowed in your bubble. Yeah, you could argue that he's had worse health issues than me. I'm a bit worried that I might catch the syphilis that he has. He got that off Celebrity Treasure Island, didn't he? Virus Island? Seriously, he has those sorts of had. He got that off Celebrity Treasure Island, did he? Virus Island? Seriously, he has those sorts of things.

He has shingles. I'm a bit worried who's going to catch what here. Have you just syphilis shamed Sam Wilson? I said you're one of the nicest people in broadcasting. I'm not taking that back. Five minutes with us and Jesus, a new Tony Street. What are you doing to me? Tony, of course, panic buying.

Some people did it, some people didn't. But you were accused of panic buying toilet rolls, I hear. Oh, I was wildly upset about this. So again, Sam Wallace involved, decided to do a tour of my house to see how much toilet paper I had. And we worked it out that I roughly had one roll per day for three weeks of lockdown, right? Which is exactly what you need.

There's a mathematical equation online. She's done the maths. She's done the maths. And what people don't realise is that I'm like Grand Central Station at my house. Like, I had to have toilet paper because normally I have my mum and dad stay from the NACI. I've got Sam Wallace with me every day and I have a million children. So I did get shamed,

but I think it was unjust. Classic old syphilis Wallace throwing you in again, eh? So Tony, we're going to let you get back to whatever it is you're doing in the lockdown. Bike ride,

I understand at the moment, but before you go, you just had laser eye surgery about a week ago and Jono has a thing about eyes. He can't handle any stories related to eyes. Can you tell us in detail what happens

when laser eye surgery happens? Yeah, you'll really enjoy this. Basically, they just clamp open your eyes as wide as you can and you have to look right into a laser. Are you awake? You're completely awake. You're awake! While they cut around your eyeball and you have a laser

in it. Do you know, I had to put in contact lenses for something that we were doing with television, and this was like literally my worst nightmare, having to put a contact lens in. Oh, it's not a thing. You need practice over years and years. I've been wearing them since I was 10, but if you go to do it when you're older, it's a nightmare. And that's why I got laser surgery, because I didn't want to do it anymore, so I just had to man up and do it. Jono's one had an accident

and it fell down behind your eye. Yeah, I was panicking. And so I kept flicking my eye and then the makeup artist was like, uh-oh. And I was like, what is uh-oh? And he was like, the thing's gone behind your eye.

And I was like, what, are they dissolved? He's like, no. And so he had to get his finger in between my eye socket and my eyeball and scoop it out from my eye. No, I totally can understand that. I had that happen, and it's a terrifying experience. But if you can't handle that, then you won't handle laser.

So I don't recommend it for you at all, Jono. Tony, listen, lovely lady. Great to chat with you. You guys start on Coast on what date? We start on May the 4th. We've got two weeks of annual leave, which I will do nothing like I am now, which will be great.

Oh, Tony, lovely to talk to you. Stay safe in your bubble, and we'll catch you soon. Oh, thanks, guys. All the best. These two germs are the 0.1% hand sanitiser can't get rid of. Jono and Ben's Isoluncheon. On the hit. We are thinking of everyone in New Zealand, sending a lot of love around the country,

and we want to end by rewarding someone who's doing the hard yards for New Zealand right now, who's love around the country and we want to end by rewarding someone who's doing the hard yards for New Zealand right now, who's helping out our country in essential services. It's the ISA legend thanks to GrabOne. That's right. Now you said that as if there was going to be a big music or an introduction thing. No, you said not to. Okay, that's right. I was the one

who said let's not do one. Yeah, you said. And now I'm the one bringing it up that we didn't have one. Yeah, we talked about this yesterday, but anyway. What sort of Twitter am I? We're going to give our person a call. It's been nominated by Marie today. Yeah, now this is someone who's working in Middlemore Hospital, and, you know, all the hospital workers,

supermarket workers, these people are really putting their health on the line for the rest of the country. Hello, Hannah speaking. Hannah, it's the Inland Revenue. Now, this is not good news. You owe us a lot of money. I know, this is not an ideal time.

It's a nice heartwarming moment. It's not meant to be full of crappy gags. You haven't paid your taxes in a long time and we're coming for you, babe. Catch you tomorrow. It's John Owen being calling from the Hutt. So we just want to say thank you for what you're doing right now for New Zealand.

You're working in Middlemore Hospital, we understand. Yes, I do, in the emergency department there. Oh my gosh, and so you've got a child as well? Yeah, I've got a 10-year-old called Max. And so what happens when you come home? Do you have to self-isolate in your own room?

Not yet, and hopefully I won't have to. I am in showering at work and then we're just being really careful at work and so I haven't have to. I am in showering at work and then, yeah, we're just being really careful at work and so I haven't had to self-isolate at home yet. Oh, that's good. I'm sure you are.

You're probably in the cleanest place in New Zealand at our hospital at the moment. Well, listen, as we said yesterday, it's people like you who are keeping this country running, keeping people safe and we truly, we truly appreciate the work you're doing. Oh, thank you very much. Yeah, thank you very much for what you're doing. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for what you're doing and as a small token of our appreciation we want to give you a $250 Grab One voucher. You can spend that on something awesome after lockdown, alright? That's so cool, thank you. No worries and the Inland Revenue will be in touch tomorrow. It won't be.

Just had to wrap that gag up. Lovely to talk to you, Hannah. Take care out there, all right? No, she's gone. Big thanks to our friends at GrabOne. Ben, she's gone. Everyday Essentials delivered today. Say goodbye to a lady who wasn't there. From grabone.co.nz.

We're going to do it all again tomorrow, our one-hour pop-up show. It really is. As I said before, it's an honour to be on the radio. Thank you for sharing your afternoons with us. Yeah, we do appreciate it. And remember our sign-off that we started yesterday? Oh, it was quite sincere. I quite liked it. I was really nervous because you were like, hey, I've us. Yeah, we do appreciate it. And remember our sign-off that we started yesterday? It was quite sincere.

I quite liked it. I was really nervous because you were like, hey, I've got to sign off to end the show. And I couldn't react afterwards because producer Juliet just abruptly finished the show. But you liked it? I did like it. It was good.

So don't change it. No, I don't. Now that I've said I liked it. Mary thinks I'm going to do some silly game. I'll tell her, stay safe, stay sanitised, and have a good day. Here we go. We'll catch you tomorrow from 12. Take care.
