Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:35 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.
Starting point is 00:00:50 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.
Starting point is 00:00:58 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.
Starting point is 00:01:16 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
Starting point is 00:01:32 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.
Starting point is 00:01:48 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.
Starting point is 00:02:01 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.
Starting point is 00:02:18 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
Starting point is 00:02:36 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.
Starting point is 00:02:49 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.
Starting point is 00:03:08 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
Starting point is 00:03:23 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.
Starting point is 00:03:44 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?
Starting point is 00:03:59 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.
Starting point is 00:04:10 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,
Starting point is 00:04:19 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.
Starting point is 00:04:30 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.
Starting point is 00:04:45 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
Starting point is 00:04:55 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.
Starting point is 00:05:16 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.
Starting point is 00:05:42 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.
Starting point is 00:06:12 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.
Starting point is 00:06:27 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.
Starting point is 00:06:43 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.
Starting point is 00:07:06 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.
Starting point is 00:07:22 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.
Starting point is 00:07:37 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?
Starting point is 00:08:01 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.
Starting point is 00:08:29 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.
Starting point is 00:08:57 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.
Starting point is 00:09:13 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,
Starting point is 00:09:26 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?
Starting point is 00:09:41 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.
Starting point is 00:09:52 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.
Starting point is 00:10:13 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.
Starting point is 00:10:26 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?
Starting point is 00:10:32 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.
Starting point is 00:10:41 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...
Starting point is 00:10:49 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.
Starting point is 00:10:59 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.
Starting point is 00:11:13 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,
Starting point is 00:11:27 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.
Starting point is 00:11:52 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.
Starting point is 00:12:03 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
Starting point is 00:12:13 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
Starting point is 00:12:22 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...
Starting point is 00:12:33 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,
Starting point is 00:12:44 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
Starting point is 00:13:00 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.
Starting point is 00:13:18 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.
Starting point is 00:13:30 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.
Starting point is 00:13:45 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.
Starting point is 00:14:05 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
Starting point is 00:14:18 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,
Starting point is 00:14:39 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
Starting point is 00:14:55 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,
Starting point is 00:15:10 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,
Starting point is 00:15:15 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
Starting point is 00:15:22 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.
Starting point is 00:15:48 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
Starting point is 00:16:01 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
Starting point is 00:16:17 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.
Starting point is 00:16:32 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.
Starting point is 00:16:48 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?
Starting point is 00:17:04 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.
Starting point is 00:17:20 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.
Starting point is 00:17:35 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?
Starting point is 00:17:53 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
Starting point is 00:18:05 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.
Starting point is 00:18:20 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.
Starting point is 00:18:29 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.
Starting point is 00:18:45 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.
Starting point is 00:18:54 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?
Starting point is 00:19:07 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
Starting point is 00:19:17 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,
Starting point is 00:19:35 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,
Starting point is 00:19:54 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
Starting point is 00:20:06 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
Starting point is 00:20:12 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
Starting point is 00:20:17 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
Starting point is 00:20:23 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.
Starting point is 00:20:32 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.
Starting point is 00:20:43 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.
Starting point is 00:21:03 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.
Starting point is 00:21:19 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.
