This is the ISO luncheon. Please welcome your hosts, it's Jono and Ben.
Welcome to the podcast. It is day three of our ISO luncheon, day 14 of lockdown here in New Zealand.
You know what frustrated me is Mike Peru, who is the afternoon host here on The Hits along with Stacey and Anika
He might listen to this. Yeah I don't care
I want him to hear it
If anything send him an email saying I've talked
some smack about him
On a podcast intro
On a podcast intro I don't know what the numbers are like
on this. Not great
Maybe no one's listening to pass on
the message but whoever the one person listening to pass on the message.
But whoever,
the one person listening,
if you could pass this on to Mike Puru.
I saw him boasting online.
He's like,
oh, I've lost two kgs
during lockdown
because I'm not going out
and not socialising.
I'm just walking to work.
I'm like,
you son of a bitch.
I've put on nine kgs.
I just drink and eat chips
and do nothing else.
I have to come in here for an hour a day. But before and after that, I'm drinking and eat chips and do nothing else. I have to come in here for an hour a day.
But before and after that, I'm drinking and eating chips.
Well, it is a big one-hour show this afternoon
before Jono goes home and drinks and eats chips.
We've got the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern.
We try and catch up with Clark Gayford, her partner,
as well to pass on a message from the Prime Minister.
Do we get a hold of him?
And Jono takes on a kid in Man Vs Child.
Enjoy.
Jono and Ben's ISO luncheon. All the hits.
Now Ben, what you don't know about Ben
if you've just joined the show is that he has
shambles
of a dog. Bo.
Bo is like a giant white cloud
that slobbers basically.
He's a Samoyed which is kind of like a
white fluffy husky. He's the size of a
Tyrannosaurus Rex. Yeah but he is a shambles.
Four fully grown velociraptors.
One of those tigers on that Netflix doco.
He is.
He's a shambles.
Joe Exotic couldn't probably care.
Keep him safe.
You look like Joe Exotic.
Thank you.
I don't know if that's a compliment, but I'll take it.
So yesterday I took the dog for a walk because you're allowed to go, you know, you're allowed to go walking.
One of my favourite hobbies now is walking out in public
and staring at complete strangers with suspicion
that they may have COVID.
Yeah, well, we're probably used to people avoiding us
on the streets because, hey, we're Jono and Ben
from Jono and Ben.
So people usually just give us a bit of a wide berth.
When you'd film your TV show on the street,
you're just desperate to prank some loser walking past
and everyone would avoid you
and you're like... So we're used to that.
But everyone's quite friendly when they go out, they just kind of
give you a bit of a wide berth.
But I walked down the road, I wasn't
going to a mountain bike park like the Health Minister
or anything like that. In a van with his
face on the side. Oh no, come on. Like Dave,
how did you even end up at the B5?
I know what's a good idea, I'll drive
my sign written van. Anyway. It's like when we did an armed robbery in the Jono and Ben company5? I know what's a good idea. I'll drive my sign written van.
Anyway.
It's like when we did an armed robbery in the Jono and Ben Company car.
Yeah, it was a bad idea.
So I went for a walk with my dog, Bo, and just down the road,
about a K from our place, there's a little walkway,
and it goes through these swampy marshlands,
sort of a little creek and some trees.
At one stage, I'm sure the Auckland Council went,
oh, this will be nice, but it's...
It's a swampy,
muddy mess. Hasn't quite got there, but anyway.
And they stink when the
ocean goes out, when the tide goes out.
So it's all just full of mud and whatever. So we're
walking along there. I thought, oh, this will be nice. I've never once
gone. You know what I'd enjoy is a
stroll through a muddy, stinky
marsh. But what I did anyway with the dog,
and then I got to another person
coming the other way, and I was like, uh-oh, you know,
you've got to give yourself a couple of metre distance.
So I put the dog on the left-hand side closest to the Swampy Marsh,
and then I sort of tried to tuck up next to the, you know,
the end of the boardwalk just to give enough room.
Now, there's not enough space there
because your dog is the size of 29 747 airplanes.
Yeah, and he's a doofus, as you said before.
So he went, oh, I'll just move over a bit more.
Moved over towards the swampy marsh.
I'm holding a lead.
And so he goes in and I go in as well.
That's when you let go of the dog.
So I was like, oh, here we go.
So both me and the dog ended up in the swampy marsh.
And so what did the person do?
Well, they walked around.
They had plenty of room.
Well, they just kept walking.
Well, hey, I'm Ben from Jono and Ben.
So away they went.
So there you go.
You've got to be careful.
Two metres social distancing.
Keep safe, guys.
That's a fun message from me.
The ISO Luncheon
with Jono and Ben
on the hits.
We feel very privileged
to have our Prime Minister,
Jacinda Ardern,
on the phone joining us.
Jacinda, thanks for your time.
How are you?
We're okay.
How are you? Because you okay. How are you?
Because you meant to ask how everyone is at the moment.
You've said, you know, be kind.
In all seriousness, I'm worried about you.
Are you sleeping?
Are you?
Oh, you shouldn't worry.
You shouldn't worry.
Because, for one thing, my mother is in my bubble,
so you can imagine that I'm being well catered for.
He's coming to work every day.
He's like, I'm worried about Jacinda.
Oh, I'm worried.
Are you sleeping?
And also Dr. Ashley Bloomfield,
who I think is doing a wonderful job.
Obviously, you know, he's not my bubble
and you can't hug anyone,
but I just feel like I need to give him a hug
because that guy just looks like
he's going through the ringer every day
doing great work for New Zealand.
Oh, he is incredible.
And what you see publicly is exactly what he's like.
He's calm and considerate, but really, really compassionate as well.
And luckily, an expert in all of the things we're dealing with.
So the right person for the job.
I hope he's just got more conversation than virus chat, though, when you meet him.
At the moment, I can tell you, I talk about almost nothing else.
So it's pretty all-consuming.
But as you can imagine, this is something
that we can all hope that for a long, long time no one ever deals with again. But for
now, it's all-consuming.
Are you seeing any of Clark and Niamh? Because I'm old mates with Clark and I'm worried about
him as well at home. Is he a safe pair of hands?
He is a safe pair of hands.
I know Clark and he is not a safe pair of hands. He is a safe pair of hands. I know Clark and he is not a safe pair of hands. Well you know that really
one of my favourite things is I try and get
home because of course I come into the beehive and work in a little bubble so that
I can go and do the question time with the media and things like that
but then I work from home in the evenings and when I get home usually Neve's
in the bath and all I can hear is her just having the time of her life
because Clark's like a best friend.
So, yeah, it's really lovely.
It is adorable.
Now, because you're spending a lot of time at work, obviously.
You're in the eye of this feces storm at the moment, Prime Minister.
That's graphic.
That is very graphic.
I actually toned it down.
It made it sound worse.
Anyway, I know what you mean.
Is there anything you need done today?
Because we're going to try and Zoom him or call
him next and pass on the message
because you're too busy to text him.
Are you? Are you talking to him?
Yeah, well, we're going to try to. We're going to give it a go anyway.
I don't know if he still answers our text.
Well, he hasn't agreed to talk to us yet.
No, he doesn't think you want to pass on any jobs he needs to do today at home,
you know, or anything like that?
Well, this is the thing.
We're obviously in Wellington, which is not our usual home.
You know, we're here half of the time, but now we're here full time.
And so I wouldn't mind him dealing with what seems to be the onslaught
of white-tailed spiders that we're getting in our bedroom at the moment.
Oh, white-tailed spiders that we're getting in our bedroom at the moment. Oh, white-tailed spiders, okay.
So we'll get him to go out to the supermarket
and stand in a line like he's waiting in a nightclub
and get some Raid.
Raid maybe is a good option.
Or just figure out where they're coming in.
We do have a few leaks and things at the Premier House.
We had a heavy rainfall the other day,
which buckets came out.
So there's a bit of home handyman work
that needs to be done around the place.
Can you imagine the Prime Ministerial Mansion?
You don't imagine spiders crawling through there.
Or buckets holding leeks.
It's quite described in that way.
You know, it used to be a dental clinic.
Oh, well, nothing but the best for you.
Yeah, it was a training school.
And there's lots of photos around the place of kids all lined up in chairs getting fillings.
Yeah, it's got quite the history.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern with us.
Jacinda, white guy's ever going to go back to screwing up handshakes?
Do you think it's going to be the end of handshakes?
Like we were saying before, like APEC, next time you visit that,
is it going to be like foot taps or something?
I think the world is going to be a different place until either COVID-19 fades away the way that SARS did
or we have a vaccine.
So life will be different for a while,
but eventually, eventually we will get back
to three-way handshakes and awkward moments.
So you're feeling confident?
You know, New Zealand, you went hard, you went early.
You know, obviously a tough time, unsettling time for people worried about the virus, but worried about jobs and businesses.
Do you think we can get on top of this, snuff this virus out and get the economy back to what it was?
Yeah, I mean, it's going to take us some time.
And what our strategy is going to have to mean is this ongoing campaign to keep stamping it out.
So anytime we have, you know, cases come up,
we're just really aggressive in dealing with them every single time.
But when you look around the world at what some other countries are experiencing,
relative to them, we're in a very good place.
Oh, poor old Boris.
Oh, no.
I mean, it's shocking, isn't it?
Yeah, I mean, I sent him a quick message just on behalf of New Zealand
when he was first diagnosed to say, you know, I hope you're doing okay.
And we're thinking of you.
And he fired one back.
So obviously he took a nasty turn.
Yeah.
Do you have like the cell phone numbers of all the world leaders?
Do you just text them?
Are you on a WhatsApp group?
How does this work?
A WhatsApp group called influential people?
No, not everyone.
But there's a handful that we have quite a bit to do with.
Obviously, Scott Morrison and, you know, we quite a bit to do with. Obviously, Scott Morrison,
and, you know, we have a bit to do with Canada and the UK,
and so the ones that you have a bit to do with,
you might, yeah.
Prime Minister,
a lot of stuff has happened during your tenure,
during your leadership.
Are you like, I'm done.
I'm going to check out at the end of this year?
Oh, because imagine it must be so draining, you know,
for you to...
I was really worried you were about to claim that I was a jinx on New Zealand.
No, not at all.
I keep waiting for someone to say that.
That was my follow-up question.
No.
I'm the common denominator there.
No, I mean, when you're in a job like this,
you've just got to take on whatever comes your way,
and that's your lot, and you just make the best of it.
And I never see it that way.
New Zealand's had its fair share of trials and tribulations,
and it hasn't just been on my watch.
Other leaders have had exactly the same.
I mean, of course, John Key had the crash at Earthquakes and the GFC.
And you've just got to do the best job you can.
Well, thank you very much for your time.
We won't hold you up.
We know how busy you are.
And thank you for what you're doing for our country
during this very unsettling time.
And you can rest assured,
we're on top of that white-tailed spider problem in your bedroom.
If you could just pick that up with Clark,
it would be much appreciated.
Although we're quite worried
about the Easter Bunny.
You said he was allowed in,
but you know,
he's travelling from overseas.
Is he going to be quarantined?
Anyway, we'll get to that
another time.
That's sloppy leadership,
Prime Minister.
You said the borders were closed.
I did create a little bit
of a disclaimer there
that he might not make it everywhere.
Fair enough.
Hey, thank you for what you are doing
and take care of yourself, alright?
Thanks a lot.
Take care.
Good on you.
Next, we're going to try and call Clark, though.
He's sorted out this...
The Whitetail Problem.
Spider issue.
We're going to call Clark now
if he'll answer our phone call
and pass on the message from the Prime Minister.
You used to work with Clark many years ago
on a TV show.
I did.
And now he's gone on to bigger and better things.
All the time I'm like, Clark?
Hello? Clark? Is'm like, Clark? Hello?
Clark.
Is that you, Ben?
Yeah, it's Jono and Ben from The Hits.
It was one of the two.
We answered them both.
I ignore one of them.
Hey, Ben, how you going?
Not too bad.
Jono's here, but we won't talk to them.
Hey, guys, I'm here.
How you going?
I'm doing okay.
I feel a bit more, you know, when you sort of settle into a routine,
humans love routines, especially as you get older and a bit crankier.
And so now that we've got a bit of a routine down,
I feel a wee bit more settled.
Because I feel like you're doing a lot of the heavy lifting at home at the moment.
Yeah, well, it's not like Jacinda's not doing anything.
Oh, man, has she got a good excuse?
Yeah.
Spoken like a man who has obviously dealt with small energetic children in a confined space, Johnno.
Yeah, I mean, she must come home and you'll be like,
Do you know what I've been doing all day?
Cleaning!
Changing nappies!
Bath and ironing!
Look at it all.
That shirt you wore at the press conference, that was me.
I ironed that.
Literally, as you've called her,
it makes you standing here with a big basket of washing going, right,
do I bother sorting the whites
or just chuck it all in together?
And chuck it all in together, mate.
Deal with the consequences later on.
Which is,
it'll be at the press conference tomorrow
with like a white blouse
that has been stained
with red socks
that Clark put into the washing.
Oh, and that is the problem
with that rogue red sock,
isn't it?
It comes out as a colour
that can't be classified.
You can't just go,
oh, no, that's pink.
It's definitely a colour that's been washed with something red.
Yeah, no, you're right.
Now, Clark, we just spoke to your partner, Jacinda,
or, of course, the Prime Minister of New Zealand before,
and we asked...
I think he knows that.
Yeah, I'll just say.
I think he knows who his partner is.
That wasn't really a set-up for him.
I think he knows that.
It was more for people listening.
OK, she just tuned in.
So we just asked her for a message to pass on to you,
something that... a responsibility,
a job that she wanted done while she was busy, all right?
Do anything you need done today,
because we're going to try and Zoom him or call him next
and pass on the message,
because you're too busy to text him.
I wouldn't mind him dealing with what seems to be
the onslaught of white-tailed spiders
that we're getting in our bedroom at the moment.
Oh, white-tailed spiders, okay.
So we'll get him to go out to the supermarket
and stand in a line like he's waiting in a nightclub
and get some raid.
Raid maybe is a good option.
Or just figure out where they're coming in.
We do have a few leaks and things at the Premier House.
So, Clark, there you go.
You've heard it.
You've heard it from the boss.
Not just the boss, you, the boss of the nation.
Yeah.
She wants the white-tailail spiders sorted out today.
Look, and that's valid.
I mean, I've killed two in the last couple of hours.
We've got gappy windows, and I think they've decided that winter's arrived,
and they're all trying to arrive en masse.
What sort of home, what sort of shack are you living in?
Yeah.
They're really isolating, like in the middle of the Waitari Ranges
or something like that.
Oh, come on.
It's not that bad. I mean, we did get the possum out of the Waitariri Ranges or something like that. Oh, come on. It's not that bad.
I mean, we did get the possum out of the roof, so it's no longer living there.
The whitetail spiders.
Are you concerned about being bitten?
Because I hate spiders.
Yeah, well, I mean, there's often more of them than they're not.
Well, the whitetails, they're the little buggers that don't, you know, they don't just sit in a corner and make a spin of web.
They go looking for trouble.
And that's why they're always cruising around your walls.
You're like, whoa, it's just on my pillow.
They're not self-isolating, are they?
They're getting amongst your stuff.
They're definitely popping bubbles.
Hey, Clark, do you go to the supermarket?
Actually, I did see the other day on your Instagram,
Clark was at the supermarket.
You were listening to Nickelback get blasted
over the loudspeakers outside the supermarket.
He was at the hits or something.
Timeless hit, mate.
It was Toto.
They try and set your speaker volume for the supermarket,
but obviously they didn't realise that that meant that lining up outside,
it was, oh, noise coming out of these little speakers.
Yeah, we were lined up two metres apart,
and Nickelback was really taking us there.
I was just saying, you feel like you're lining up for a nightclub.
I'm like, when I get to the front of the line
is the security guy going to go, wrong shoes, mate.
The
panic buying situation, I
imagine you probably have to watch
yourself because people would have their eyes on you
and they'll be like, oh, you see Clark bought
300 rolls of toilet paper and then
there'd be a stuff headline. What do you wish
you could have panic bought but you weren't allowed to?
Oh, I'm laughing because it's true.
We actually needed toilet paper
just before one of the lockdowns
and I'm like,
how much can I get away
with buying?
I don't want to be seen
with a bag.
You know,
some people judge you
for buying toilet paper.
You're like,
I need this.
Yeah,
no,
I went and panic bought
a pair of speakers
because there was no ability
to play music
in Premier House
just before lockdown
so I'm pleased I did that
but there is so many things I'm pleased I did that.
But there are so many things I miss. I mean, look, I never complain about our situation,
but I'm away from my shed, and I just love mucking around in my shed, you know?
Sounds like you're living one with the Whitetails, mate.
Clark, take care of yourself. Thanks for chatting this afternoon.
Take it easy, guys. Good luck. These two germs are the 0.1% hand sanitiser can't get rid of.
Jono and Ben's Iso Luncheon.
On the hit.
Man versus child.
We've got a game we want to play right now
because kids, you know, they're home and they're in lockdown
and they need something.
Yeah, you're going to try and be that something.
You're going to put me up against a child
and can I offer a disclaimer?
No mollycoddling.
I don't even know what mollycoddling is.
So I'll agree.
No mollycoddling here. I'm going to
rip the... I'm going to break dreams of children
here, okay? Because kids are too cocky nowadays.
Well, yesterday we played on
the live stream. You can, of course, live
stream the show at The Hits Breakfast
on Facebook. And we played
Beat Your Parents, a board game, which was a lot of fun.
It's got kids' questions.
Beat the Kids didn't quite get it past the brainstorming session.
They didn't go with Beat the Kids.
They went with Beat the Parents.
And so I wrote down some questions this morning from that game,
and I'm going to ask a kid three questions and ask you three questions.
This is man versus child, Jono.
Does the child get the child questions and do I get the adult questions?
Yes, that's the way it works.
Well, it's skewed towards the kids.
But you're an adult.
You're an adult.
Okay, you've been around a lot longer.
And joining us from Nelson on the phone is Skye.
How's it going, buddy?
Good.
Oh, you sound adorable, Skye.
And I'm sorry that I'm about to end you.
No, no.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of competition?
No.
A bit of a competitive spirit?
Okay, Skye, we've got an $80 Hell Pizza voucher
if you can beat Jono in a quiz, all right?
Okay.
Okay, so the first question for you from the kids' questions on Beat the Parents.
What is a baby bear called?
A cub.
Well done.
Monty's going to get that.
I would have been disappointed if Skye didn't get that.
Okay, Jono.
Who can survive longer without water, a rat or a camel?
A camel?
Mate, hey.
Hey, you've already done well.
You've nailed one.
My time to shine, buddy.
Sorry, sir.
Yeah, there's a question for Jono.
I'm going to go a camel because the kids see that that, I don't know. It was a rat.
He's getting inside my head.
One nil, Sky.
Sky, who is Harry Potter's red-headed friend?
What is his name?
Ron Weasley.
Oh, Ron Weasley.
He's got two.
All right, Jono.
He was just handing these to him.
What do Scottish call their New Year's celebrations, Jono?
What do Scottish people call their New Year's celebrations, Jono? What do Scottish
people call their New Year's celebrations?
Well, they just say New Year's celebrations
in a funny accent.
A funny accent. Don't know?
No, I don't know. Hogamanae.
Hogamanae. Hogamanae. There you go.
Alright, and just to put him out of his misery,
Sky, last question.
What do pandas mainly eat?
Bamboo. Bamboo. I'll beat him to it, mate.
Give me one.
No.
Give me one.
No.
I'm going to give that to Sky.
Congratulations, buddy.
Well, this is a stitch-up.
Why?
Why would you ask me what the Scottish New Year is?
And you're like, oh, mate, what's a baby bear?
I'll ask you the last question.
Okay, Sky, can I ask you the adults, the parents question for the last question?
Yeah.
Okay.
What food is used to make dynamite?
Tough question.
Peanuts.
Peanuts.
Yes, he's got it right.
There you go.
Oh, that was a stitch-up.
Yeah, that was a stitch-up.
We gave him that one off there.
But well played.
That's a wonderful end to the segment.
Well done, Sky.
$80 Hell Pizza voucher.
When you're out of your bubble,
you can feed your bubble out of isolation
thanks to Hell Pizza, right?
Thanks.
Good on you, Sky.
Look after yourself, buddy.
Have a great day, eh?
Yeah.
Jono and Ben's Iso Luncheon on the hits.
Do you remember the good old days,
you know, like 12 days ago
when you could just walk into a supermarket
at your own convenience?
Without feeling, like, really uneasy.
Like, it's just a weird experience.
It is.
It really is now.
And I know a lot of people are quite tense in the supermarket at the moment.
Obviously, there's concerns about catching bugs and also doing your shopping as well,
which is not a fun experience at the best of times.
Now, you're the nominated shopper for not only your immediate family,
but also your mother-in-law and your father-in-law and stuff, right?
Yeah, and I'm not a good multitasker. And running
two shopping lists at the same time is
doing my head in. It is so stressful.
But I know it's a stressful environment and some of the
supermarkets, one of the guys... Very stressful, actually,
because you text me and said to your
wife yesterday all the things you couldn't get.
I was like, oh, this is nice to be updated with
oh, John, I can't get Bayer buns.
I was like,
shopping? And they're like, okay, well, great, yeah. I've just got into't get Bayer buns I was like shopping
and they're like
okay well great
yeah
I've just got into
these frozen Bayer buns
they're extraordinary
but anyway
and no flour
at the moment as well
no yeah
a lot of people
are baking at home
right
yeah
well there's a cake
shortage at the priors
I'll tell you that
for free
sponge cake was also
on your list
but I would like
to say a message too
don't
there was a guy
punched in the face
a supermarket worker
punched in the face
the other day
yeah be kind
those people are putting in such great hours for New Zealand.
But Ben, you said he deserved it when you did it.
No, no.
And you don't regret your actions.
Don't flip this around.
We're trying to do a nice message.
Shop normal.
Be kind to everyone.
And just don't punch people in the face.
It's a great life lesson,
not just during these lockdown periods,
but just in general.
Just don't punch people in the face.
No, I think out of lockdown,
you can punch people in the face. No. Not now out of lockdown, you can punch people in the face.
No, not now or in the future, unless you're a UFC fighter.
But I went to Countdown, I'll say where it was,
in my Countdown where the toilet is.
And you don't often go to the toilet in the supermarket, do you?
I didn't know there was one.
It's just below the public toilets in terms of you don't want to be in there.
But it's, yeah, it was just by the fruit section
and the deli section.
And I was waiting outside it for a while
and it had the red lock on.
So it looked like it was locked.
But it had been, you know, five minutes had passed
and I was like, well, maybe someone's left
but left the lock up.
So it looks like it's locked.
So I opened the door.
Oh, it's a very elaborate backstory. You've really told us everything. I opened the door and It's a very elaborate backstory.
He really told us here.
I open the door and there's a poor little fella there.
He's a man.
And he's got his mask on.
And he's sort of a, he's on the hunched over position.
And he's in a squat position.
And he looks at me.
And even though half his face was covered,
I could see the sheer panic in his eyes.
He was looking at me, he's like,
you monster.
Well, you are.
And I was like, and it felt like, I know it was only
like probably two seconds. And it was accidental.
It was, yeah, but it felt like two minutes
we were gazing into each other's eyes.
But then you, like, did you even wait around or then you
just like, I can't go now, so I've got to walk.
I just, I walked. Left the door open
obviously for him.
You're right. The human being, you're no more vulnerable It's like, I can't go now, so I've got to walk. I just, I walked. Left the door open, obviously. Oh, no.
You're right.
The human being, you're in no more vulnerable state than when you're in that position.
You could be the toughest person in the world.
Israel Adesanya.
Yeah, Adesanya, yeah.
Adesanya couldn't do anything.
No.
If he was in that position.

Now, can I please send a big shout out?
No, don't shout like you did the other day.
I won't do a literal shout out.
Because everyone listening on their radio
was way too loud.
My friend Chris Larkham,
he's in a factory making face masks
and they're all tuned in to the Isoluncheon.
Oh, that's very cool.
Yeah, they're doing great.
That's doing great work at the moment too.
And if you know someone...
He'll appreciate that, Ben, from you.
From me, it means a lot.
Chris, you're doing great work.
Ben says you are. so that means a lot.
I'll get him to print it out on a certificate.
I'll get him to get Microsoft Clipart or something.

So I'm a child
and family psychologist, and
I work in an outpatient clinic
for mental health. So I work
with children and teenagers who are struggling
with their mental health. Oh, and how are
you finding it in your industry at this
time? Because I know a lot of people are going through
some tough mental health moments.
Yeah. Yeah, it
is a really challenging time. I think there's a lot of stress and a lot health moments. Yeah, yeah, it is a really challenging time.
And I think there's a lot of stress and a lot of anxiety.
But I think overall people are looking out for each other
and people being really kind.
And yeah, we're all getting through.
Is there one tip you can quickly pass on to us
to try and keep your mental health at a good level?
Yeah, probably just keep engaging in a good routine,
keep your self-care going,
keep eating good healthy food,
exercising, sleeping well,
and making sure you're having some fun and relaxed
time. And can you just
add on to that and keep listening to Jono and Ben on the
Isolation? Absolutely, you've got to have a laugh.
Yeah, just need that. We need that for the marketing purposes.
So if you could just chuck that in your little rant.
