                                         Welcome to the podcast everyone. Just after Easter weekend, I hope you had a good one.
                                         
                                         Week three of isolation at the moment. I read something on social media, Jono, if you're having trouble, you know, people now having trouble staying at home.
                                         
                                         One way you can make things better is just shave your eyebrows off
                                         
                                         and you don't want to see anyone.
                                         
                                         So you'll stay home.
                                         
                                         Is that what you did?
                                         
                                         No, I haven't done that.
                                         
    
                                         I just read that as it was a gag, but it was a joke.
                                         
                                         But I was like, oh, it's a good little social media thing.
                                         
                                         Yeah, no, what I'm noticing about Ben's hair is it's getting quite long.
                                         
                                         You usually like to keep quite a short sort of cut, don't you?
                                         
                                         Yes, I do.
                                         
                                         I think you should let me cut your hair because
                                         
                                         there's no barber services. I haven't got that
                                         
                                         desperate yet. Show it as long.
                                         
    
                                         I've never seen it this long. Well, not for a while.
                                         
                                         Let me shave it. No.
                                         
                                         Let me shave it. Start the chant,
                                         
                                         iHeartRadio.
                                         
                                         You're not a safer of hands.
                                         
                                         I let you tattoo your name on my behind
                                         
                                         and you put the N
                                         
                                         backwards. Yeah, it was like a lightning bolt. The N was a lightning bolt., and you put the N backwards?
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, it was a lightning bolt.
                                         
                                         The N was a lightning bolt. Oh, they put the J backwards, and the N was a lightning bolt.
                                         
                                         So that's with me.
                                         
                                         So you think I'm going to cut my hair?
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         Well, actually, to be fair, cutting your hair is way down the list to a permanent tattoo.
                                         
                                         So hair first, then tattoo.

                                         I spent 20 minutes

                                         I've got a couple
                                         
                                         I've got a unicorn
                                         
    
                                         and a green
                                         
                                         sort of dragon
                                         
                                         crocodile thing
                                         
                                         there's a lot of
                                         
                                         childhood issues you haven't dealt with yet, eh?
                                         
                                         I think so.
                                         
                                         He's literally got a producer Juliet's here as well,
                                         
                                         Mill Jew, now Millennial Jew.
                                         
    
                                         Not as a Jewish person.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I think that's quite confusing with the name.
                                         
                                         No, I'm not offending the Jewish community.
                                         
                                         Juliet, yeah.
                                         
                                         But we would employ Jews as well.
                                         
                                         Okay, now you've got yourself a real...
                                         
                                         Because we're a diverse community.
                                         
                                         Anyway, so over the weekend,
                                         
    
                                         well, we wanted to decide on a name for our kitten.
                                         
                                         We got a kitten a couple of days before lockdown
                                         
                                         in our household.
                                         
                                         And you're going to, after lockdown,
                                         
                                         you're just going to kick it back out on the street
                                         
                                         where it belongs?
                                         
                                         It's a valued part of our family.
                                         
                                         We're loving it.
                                         
    
                                         How does the dog welcome in a kitten?
                                         
                                         Because the dog, your big, big, white, fluffy Samoy dog
                                         
                                         with, I think, some mental health issues.
                                         
                                         Oh, jeez.
                                         
                                         He's been pretty good.
                                         
                                         He's tolerated the cat pretty well.
                                         
                                         I saw it licking a window for 49 minutes.
                                         
                                         Not the cat, the dog.
                                         
    
                                         The cat and the dog are getting on fine,
                                         
                                         and it's been great.
                                         
                                         It's been great company for the family, having a kitten.
                                         
                                         And also great, I think it's great life skills as well
                                         
                                         because everyone learns to ignore things now with a cat.
                                         
                                         Because it's like if you find the treats,
                                         
                                         shall we say, in the litter box, you're meant to clean it up.
                                         
                                         It's amazing how many people go into the bathroom
                                         
    
                                         and then leave and go, oh, I never saw that.
                                         
                                         It's like, I did that just before I left, actually.
                                         
                                         It was the thing, I was like, oh, I've got to go to work.
                                         
                                         I'll ignore that.
                                         
                                         And if your wife Amanda's listening, sucked in,
                                         
                                         because he made us all laugh about it when he came to work.
                                         
                                         Now, we asked for suggestions to name this kitten
                                         
                                         on the Hits Breakfast Instagram over the weekend.
                                         
    
                                         Which just seems, again, like this is your second bad decision,
                                         
                                         not only panic purchasing a cat,
                                         
                                         but then also throwing it out to the always positive internet.
                                         
                                         I did this on mine as well.
                                         
                                         So I'll run through some names.
                                         
                                         Obviously, they had the Corona, Rona, or COVID.
                                         
                                         Well, you know, a few suggestions in time,
                                         
                                         but I don't know if we can name a cat that.
                                         
    
                                         Lockie for lockdown?
                                         
                                         What do you think?
                                         
                                         ISO?
                                         
                                         I like ISO.
                                         
                                         ISO's got a nice ring to it.
                                         
                                         Lots of people said Jono, but then they went,
                                         
                                         oh, that's better for hairless cats.
                                         
                                         Oh, here we go.
                                         
    
                                         I bet no one did that, but he just wrote that to have an unnecessary dig at my premature hair loss.
                                         
                                         Yeah, there was Catty McCatface, because obviously anything on the internet has to be that.
                                         
                                         Didn't you say there was a lot of Joe Exotics?
                                         
                                         Yes, there was Joe Exotics.
                                         
                                         Carol Baskin was another one.
                                         
                                         Carol Baskin.
                                         
                                         I got like that.
                                         
                                         Someone I thought was quite clever, call it Ben, and then you've got a good excuse
                                         
    
                                         when you don't answer your wife
                                         
                                         or your kids or whatever.
                                         
                                         You're like,
                                         
                                         oh, I thought you were talking to the cat.
                                         
                                         That is...
                                         
                                         I thought it was quite good too.
                                         
                                         Genius play.
                                         
                                         Do you,
                                         
    
                                         and you were just saying
                                         
                                         how you ignore what the kitten's doing.
                                         
                                         Do you also find yourself
                                         
                                         just not hearing things on purpose as well?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Do you do that too, do you?
                                         
                                         It's definitely a trait.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         So I thought,
                                         
                                         well, what can we do now?
                                         
                                         Let's decide on a name.
                                         
                                         The kids really want
                                         
                                         to call it Bubble
                                         
                                         because it's in our bubble,
                                         
                                         which I think it's probably
                                         
                                         the name we'll go for.
                                         
    
                                         But let's say...
                                         
                                         Then what was the point

                                         You told us that we have to listen to the radio,
                                         
                                         but I'm listening.
                                         
                                         So I know this is a joke because... Okay, she said too much.
                                         
                                         Okay, the kitten's a joke.

                                         Hayley Holt.
                                         
                                         How's it going?
                                         
                                         Good.
                                         
    
                                         How's that bun coming along?
                                         
                                         It's getting stretchy.
                                         
                                         Is it?
                                         
                                         Ben's looking at me like I shouldn't have said,
                                         
                                         how's that bun coming along?
                                         
                                         That's just a weird way to ask.
                                         
                                         I don't know if we started the interview or not.
                                         
                                         Yeah, well, this is a casual start, isn't it?
                                         
    
                                         You want to ask how the bun's coming along?
                                         
                                         That's what you're saying.
                                         
                                         Is it a Chelsea bun?
                                         
                                         Is it a raisin bun?
                                         
                                         Sally Lunn bun?
                                         
                                         Why don't you start by saying congratulations, Hayley Hull.
                                         
                                         It's awesome.
                                         
                                         Well, congratulations as well, Hayley.
                                         
    
                                         I mean, it goes without saying.
                                         
                                         When you're saying how's the bun,
                                         
                                         that's also wrapping up a congratulations.
                                         
                                         How is it going, though?
                                         
                                         It must be so weird to be pregnant in this current environment.
                                         
                                         It's so weird.
                                         
                                         It's got two sides of the coin.
                                         
                                         On one stage, it comes with another level of anxiety.
                                         
    
                                         But on the other side, I'm on the full lockdown.
                                         
                                         So I've just been sitting here resting, sleeping in, eating.
                                         
                                         You're on a farm.
                                         
                                         Is it your parents' farm?
                                         
                                         Is that right?
                                         
                                         Yeah, so they've got some land up here, they don't farm
                                         
                                         it, they lease it out to a farmer
                                         
                                         nearby.
                                         
    
                                         Basically what we've been doing is sort of
                                         
                                         shooting flies with a salt gun that mum
                                         
                                         bought. I love those.
                                         
                                         Have you got, do you know what they
                                         
                                         are? Yeah, they're a salt gun, you put like
                                         
                                         grains of rock salt in them and you can
                                         
                                         assassinate flies.
                                         
                                         It's quite barbaric, but I enjoy it.
                                         
    
                                         You gave me one.
                                         
                                         Jono gave me one.
                                         
                                         I gave it away.
                                         
                                         I was like, this is not for me.
                                         
                                         Even flies, I was like, oh, I feel bad for the flies.
                                         
                                         Ben's too scared of offending anyone, even the fly-loving community.
                                         
                                         Jesus.
                                         
                                         My mum loves it.
                                         
    
                                         Now, Hayley, I saw you announce your pregnancy on Breakfast
                                         
                                         in a very unconventional way.
                                         
                                         It came through like some viewer feedback that you got.
                                         
                                         Yeah, well, some of the viewers had noticed
                                         
                                         that I was starting to get a bit fuller.
                                         
                                         Oh, you got my email.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I know.
                                         
                                         I'm glad you got that message.
                                         
    
                                         I'd been saying to Ben, and I was like,
                                         
                                         I don't know, but anyway, I'll send an email.
                                         
                                         Well, this is how it happened.
                                         
                                         You basically started reading out,
                                         
                                         we've got this correspondence from this person today,
                                         
                                         Jono from Auckland, and yeah, and then we're like,
                                         
                                         oh, this is awkward, and then you went, well, you actually,
                                         
                                         well done, you're right, I am pregnant.
                                         
    
                                         It was an unusual way.
                                         
                                         Yeah, well, I just, you know, let's not make a big deal out of it.
                                         
                                         It's something, you know, happens every day
                                         
                                         to lots of people around the world,
                                         
                                         and luckily for me, it was happening to me.
                                         
                                         But, yeah, I think a lot of people have wondered whether I had a boob job.
                                         
                                         That's what I put in the email as well.
                                         
                                         Oh, don't. Stop it. Stop it.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah. Now, I guess social distancing, being pregnant,
                                         
                                         is probably quite good at the moment because no one's coming up and awkwardly rubbing your belly
                                         
                                         because that seems to happen for some reason, right?
                                         
                                         Yeah, it does, but the funny thing is
                                         
                                         because you learn all these new things
                                         
                                         when you get pregnant for the first time
                                         
                                         and the baby's actually quite low
                                         
                                         and what they're rubbing, usually when you first get pregnant,
                                         
    
                                         is your gut, like your intestine.
                                         
                                         And I hope
                                         
                                         you're having a good time there.
                                         
                                         Not my baby.
                                         
                                         In any other situation, this is not
                                         
                                         okay. It's a trip to HR normally, isn't it?
                                         
                                         Yes. I thought it was the
                                         
                                         baby. It was my guts.
                                         
    
                                         Hayley, I know
                                         
                                         obviously being a journalist and a
                                         
                                         host of The Breakfast Show, are you missing
                                         
                                         not being on television reporting and broadcasting at this particular Show, are you missing not being on television reporting
                                         
                                         and broadcasting at this particular time,
                                         
                                         or are you glad you're not there?
                                         
                                         I am actually missing it because it's quite an important,
                                         
                                         you know, it's obviously a very important sort of event
                                         
    
                                         that's going on globally, and it's huge for news,
                                         
                                         but it's a good time to be sort of helping morale
                                         
                                         around the country.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I do feel sad not to be out with my team.
                                         
                                         I have to watch them every morning.
                                         
                                         And just reading here, you've taken up skateboarding.
                                         
                                         Yeah, and I think this was before the pregnancy, I hope.
                                         
                                         But yeah, as an adult doing skateboarding, how are you judged?
                                         
    
                                         Well, I sort of, yeah, I'm definitely looked down on at the skate park
                                         
                                         I remember I seen Matthew Ridge riding around
                                         
                                         On a BMX
                                         
                                         And I was like good on him
                                         
                                         He may be 49 on a children's BMX
                                         
                                         But good on him
                                         
                                         That was actually the one thing I remember
                                         
                                         When I found out I was pregnant
                                         
    
                                         I was like oh I've just been
                                         
                                         I've just got into skateboarding again
                                         
                                         Do you like dropping on the half pipe and things like that?
                                         
                                         Yeah, I can do that.
                                         
                                         Do you?
                                         
                                         That terrifies me.
                                         
                                         Something goes off in your head where you start to think about consequences as an adult.
                                         
                                         You know, as a kid, you're not worried about that.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, touching wood, I hadn't fallen over until I had to give it up again.
                                         
                                         So, I mean, I'm sure if I fell over as an adult, I wouldn't enjoy it.
                                         
                                         When are you due, mate?
                                         
                                         I'm due in July.
                                         
                                         July, right.
                                         
                                         Have we got a name for the baby?
                                         
                                         No name.
                                         
                                         I figure that the name will be obvious
                                         
    
                                         when I meet the baby.
                                         
                                         I'm hoping.
                                         
                                         Have you figured out if it's a boy or girl?
                                         
                                         Yeah, I have.
                                         
                                         Give us an exclusive, babe.
                                         
                                         Come on, babes.
                                         
                                         It might have before you called it babes.
                                         
                                         Give us an exclusive, Hayley.
                                         
    
                                         The Herald will lap this up if you drop this right now.
                                         
                                         It's good publicity for our show.
                                         
                                         Yeah, we need it.
                                         
                                         We're desperate.
                                         
                                         Come on, boy or girl.
                                         
                                         Come on, Hayley Holt.
                                         
                                         Well, I actually let it slip on breakfast this morning.
                                         
                                         Oh, you gave them the exclusive.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         It's a little boy.
                                         
                                         Hey, you heard it here first.

                                         or do you have something else?

                                         Why are you so good at remembering dates?
                                         
    
                                         If people were firing these at me,
                                         
                                         I'd be crumbling under all sorts of pressure.
                                         
                                         Okay, well, let's give them a call.
                                         
                                         We used to think of that as our anniversary for a long time.
                                         
                                         So that was 2009.
                                         
                                         2009, okay.
                                         
                                         Okay, so we've got Karen on the line.
                                         
                                         We're calling her husband, Phil, to see if he can get these important dates.
                                         
    
                                         Hey, Phil.
                                         
                                         How do you think he's going to go?
                                         
                                         I think he's going to get it.
                                         
                                         Oh, really?
                                         
                                         She's confident.
                                         
                                         And if he doesn't, you'll be having a third wedding to another man.
                                         
                                         Hello, Philip. Hello, Philip.

                                         Which one?

                                         Oh, one from one.
                                         
                                         And then it's the second wedding?
                                         
                                         Which was the party was on the 26th of September.
                                         
                                         You're making husbands across New Zealand look bad, Phil.
                                         
                                         Well done. Okay, the, Phil. You are. Well done.
                                         
                                         Okay, the next question.
                                         
                                         Important dates.
                                         
                                         Karen's birth date.
                                         
    
                                         If I forget this.
                                         
                                         26th of October.
                                         
                                         Yes, October.
                                         
                                         And I want the year because she wouldn't tell me.
                                         
                                         You don't have to go into the year.
                                         
                                         It's over to you.
                                         
                                         And the last question, first kiss.
                                         
                                         When was your first kiss?
                                         
    
                                         Ooh.
                                         
                                         Good question.
                                         
                                         Was it before midnight or after?
                                         
                                         Oh, okay.
                                         
                                         So he's given himself two options here if he gets it.
                                         
                                         And I want to know what happened after the kiss as well.
                                         
                                         It's a family show.
                                         
                                         Let's not get into those details.
                                         
    
                                         Well, tell me in family-friendly fashion.
                                         
                                         Alright.
                                         
                                         We'll give you the year. 2009.
                                         
                                         What was the date?
                                         
                                         I reckon it was August.
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         The 22nd.
                                         
                                         Oh, well done.
                                         
    
                                         What a human being.
                                         
                                         Phil and Karen, well done.
                                         
                                         An $80 Hell Pizza voucher so when you're out of your bubble,
                                         
                                         you can get your first lot of takeaways from there, right?
                                         
                                         Well, fantastic.
                                         
                                         And you've saved your marriage too today, Phil.
                                         
                                         Unnecessarily so, but well done.
                                         
                                         Thank you very much for listening.
                                         
    
                                         I don't know if you do, but let's pretend you have been.
                                         
                                         He does now.
                                         
                                         All right, thank you, guys.
                                         
                                         Stay safe.
                                         
                                         Jono and Ben's ISO luncheon on the hits.
                                         
                                         You know how there's non-essential and essential people at the moment?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Broadcasting is considered one of them,
                                         
    
                                         and I really do feel far more important than a lot of other people.
                                         
                                         You know when you're driving to work, you're like,
                                         
                                         I've got a letter saying I'm essential.
                                         
                                         Always wanting to be pulled over just so you can show them that.
                                         
                                         Do you know you're pulling over an essential worker here?
                                         
                                         There are, in all seriousness, people doing much better things than us right now.
                                         
                                         To be honest, when you look up essential worker in the dictionary,
                                         
                                         I don't think I'm in there.
                                         
    
                                         Well, because the radio is about news and information
                                         
                                         and obviously providing those things immediately to the country.
                                         
                                         That's what the Hits does.
                                         
                                         That was part of the other radio stations, you know?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         But you do feel better as an essential worker.
                                         
                                         It does make yourself feel better about your life, doesn't it?
                                         
                                         But anyway, my vacuum cleaner broke down on the weekend, Ben.
                                         
    
                                         Right.
                                         
                                         This is the same one you vacuum clean the driveway with?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         I like the feeling and the sound of the stones.
                                         
                                         Yeah, so Producer Juliet's with us right now.
                                         
                                         So he goes out and vacuums his driveway.
                                         
                                         Does that not clog your vacuum cleaner?
                                         
                                         Well, this is why he's probably buying a new one.
                                         
    
                                         It looks psychotic
                                         
                                         when I'm doing it.
                                         
                                         Yeah, well, what?
                                         
                                         But the noise of stones
                                         
                                         going up the steel piping
                                         
                                         is just so...
                                         
                                         That's a weird thing
                                         
                                         to be into.
                                         
    
                                         If you want to vacuum
                                         
                                         your driveway vacuumed,
                                         
                                         I can come around
                                         
                                         and do it once
                                         
                                         this whole thing clears.
                                         
                                         Yeah, not now, though.
                                         
                                         No, not now.
                                         
                                         I wouldn't do it now.
                                         
    
                                         Maybe that's a service.
                                         
                                         Vacuum driveway-ing.
                                         
                                         But anyway...
                                         
                                         Do you pick up the leaves
                                         
                                         and stuff as well?
                                         
                                         Yeah, I do get the odd leaf as well.
                                         
                                         I feel there's probably like a tool I could get from Bunnings
                                         
                                         that could probably do the same job.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, like a leaf blower or something, but anyway.
                                         
                                         But the vacuum cleaner broke down.
                                         
                                         So I went on to Noel Leemings or whatever
                                         
                                         and discovered there's essential and non-essential vacuum cleaners.
                                         
                                         So I don't know who came to the decision.
                                         
                                         Is it like Jacinda going,
                                         
                                         all right, Prime Minister,
                                         
                                         we've got the Electrolux Rapid 18 Volt.
                                         
    
                                         Is it handheld?
                                         
                                         It's handheld.
                                         
                                         Well, that's essential.
                                         
                                         The Dyson V11?
                                         
                                         No, no, no, no, no.
                                         
                                         Also, basically...
                                         
                                         There's different brands and different types that are...
                                         
                                         Oh, so you can buy some and can't buy the others.
                                         
    
                                         Correct.
                                         
                                         Who's making this call?
                                         
                                         Who is literally going through the catalogue online
                                         
                                         of Noel Eamons going,
                                         
                                         yep, they'll need one of those.
                                         
                                         No, no, no.
                                         
                                         That's your driveway vacuum cleaner.
                                         
                                         And the same goes with couches.
                                         
    
                                         It's like, I can't get a three-seated leather couch
                                         
                                         at the moment.
                                         
                                         Not that I was in the market for one.
                                         
                                         I was just wondering how far into the catalogue this extends.
                                         
                                         Yeah, a very unusual thing.
                                         
                                         And out of all the things that suck,
                                         
                                         that you think...
                                         
                                         Including this radio show.
                                         
    
                                        ...would be non-essential,
                                         
                                         this is probably the first thing that...
                                         
                                         Oh, self-burn there.
                                         
                                         Wasn't that unnecessary?
                                         
                                         No, it was actually really interesting, though.
                                         
                                         I appreciate that.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         You didn't know that.
                                         
    
                                         You wouldn't think that, would you?
                                         
                                         There we go.
                                         
                                         And same with dishwashers, fridges.
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         You really got in quite deep.
                                         
                                         We're way too deep, actually,
                                         
                                         and I regret talking about it on the radio right now.
                                         
                                         The ISO Luncheon with Jono and Ben on the hits.
                                         
    
                                         Our next guest played 127 games for the All Blacks over 11 years.
                                         
                                         He's not only a legend but a top bloke as well.
                                         
                                         Although researching him, I realised, Jono,
                                         
                                         Kieran, a hard name to spell.
                                         
                                         Is it an I before E situation? I keep getting it wrong. Whatever. Every time him, I realised, Jono, Kieran, hard name to spell. Is it an I before E situation?
                                         
                                         I keep getting it wrong. Every time I type
                                         
                                         it in, I get that sort of red line underneath
                                         
                                         from words. Yeah, and then you have to go double-click and correct it.
                                         
    
                                         Anyway, we'll talk about this. But then it goes back to the
                                         
                                         US version. Not always the...
                                         
                                         Maybe we'll talk to him about it. It's Kieran
                                         
                                         Reid. Hey, guys. How are you?
                                         
                                         We got really hung up on how to spell
                                         
                                         your name, Kieran, there.
                                         
                                         That's right. How do you spell it?
                                         
                                         It's I before E.
                                         
    
                                         K-I-E.
                                         
                                         It's done with a C.
                                         
                                         Right.
                                         
                                         No, that's what I've heard.
                                         
                                         That's what I've heard.
                                         
                                         That's how I've spelled it my whole life.
                                         
                                         Hopefully you're getting it right more than we are.
                                         
                                         Well, it's hard.
                                         
    
                                         Either the first name or my last name, Reid,
                                         
                                         gets spelt wrong quite a bit too, actually.
                                         
                                         Oh, you mean R-E-I-D, I imagine, quite a lot.
                                         
                                         R-E-I-D is probably the least common
                                         
                                         read of them all. Yeah!
                                         
                                         But you'd think it would be the most popular. Anyway, this is...
                                         
                                         Sure, we're coming in with some hard-hitting questions
                                         
                                         here.
                                         
    
                                         Boy, you're getting a grilling from old
                                         
                                         J&B. I will never go back on
                                         
                                         that. They savaged me.
                                         
                                         Kieran, in all seriousness,
                                         
                                         you were playing in Japan until
                                         
                                         a couple of weeks ago, and then you had to make a bit of a mad dash home when the whole coronavirus thing sort of hit.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it did.
                                         
                                         So, start of March, Japan closed schools up there.
                                         
    
                                         They shut the competition down for a few weeks.
                                         
                                         So, came home with the family.
                                         
                                         I went back up, ready to play again in April.
                                         
                                         And then they, obviously obviously with what happened here
                                         
                                         in terms of Jacinda shutting the borders
                                         
                                         I was like man
                                         
                                         I don't want to be stuck up in Japan
                                         
                                         not being able to get home
                                         
    
                                         so I got in before lockdown
                                         
                                         and been back in New Zealand for the last two weeks
                                         
                                         it's actually been probably
                                         
                                         quite nice to be here with the family during the time
                                         
                                         So I'm looking at the deaths in Japan
                                         
                                         4,257 today.
                                         
                                         So it's obviously affected the country, hit them quite hard, Kieran.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it has.
                                         
    
                                         I think initially they were trying to put it off.
                                         
                                         I think the Olympics was like that carrot they're trying to hold on to,
                                         
                                         saying that, hey, this thing's not going to affect us.
                                         
                                         So for the first kind of, you know, the start of kind of March and everything,
                                         
                                         they're saying, oh, no, it's all good.
                                         
                                         There's only been, you know, the start of kind of March and everything, they're saying, oh, no, it's all good. There's only been, you know, so many cases happening.
                                         
                                         But as soon as they cancelled the Olympics,
                                         
                                         I think it kind of, they looked at it a bit more seriously.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, speaking of the Olympics, I had an idea for the Olympics.
                                         
                                         Why don't we just Zoom the Olympics?
                                         
                                         And so you go, we're crossing out of New Zealand.
                                         
                                         Oh, so everyone's like, well, the internet connection,
                                         
                                         you're like two people would start before the other one and all sorts.
                                         
                                         No, but you go, okay, but you go, okay, well, Usain Bolt, you ready to go?
                                         
                                         Yep, no, I'm good.
                                         
                                         Mike's not on, but that's all right.
                                         
    
                                         All right, other fast sprinter, are you ready to go?
                                         
                                         I'm good, mate.
                                         
                                         And you go, three, two, one, bang.
                                         
                                         But then it's just an honesty system.
                                         
                                         It'd be like.
                                         
                                         Yeah, there is.
                                         
                                         It's a bit of trust.
                                         
                                         Take a couple of metres off the course, maybe.
                                         
    
                                         Tom Walsh, how far did you throw that?
                                         
                                         300 metres?
                                         
                                         I'll take your word for it.
                                         
                                         Okay, well, you just talked yourself out of that idea.
                                         
                                         Well done, you got a gold medal.
                                         
                                         We've got Kieran Reid with us, a former All Black captain.
                                         
                                         Kieran, you're a proud dad, got three kids.
                                         
                                         I've seen on your Instagram one of your little girls
                                         
    
                                         painting your nails before.
                                         
                                         What other lockdown activities has Kieran Reid been doing with the family?
                                         
                                         Yeah, plenty of stuff trying to keep them entertained.
                                         
                                         Yeah, board games.
                                         
                                         So my daughters, I play them at Battleship.
                                         
                                         Do you let them win?
                                         
                                         Do you let them win?
                                         
                                         Because this is the whole thing.
                                         
    
                                         You don't, are you?
                                         
                                         Because you're a competitive guy, aren't you?
                                         
                                         You're like, you need to learn to lose.
                                         
                                         That's a hard one.
                                         
                                         Battleship is basically a game of guessing.
                                         
                                         It's guessing.
                                         
                                         So, you know, they've got a chance.
                                         
                                         If they're good enough to win, I'll give it to them.
                                         
    
                                         They're six, mate.
                                         
                                         Hey, they've got to learn sometime.
                                         
                                         They just don't, yeah, they haven't quite understood it.
                                         
                                         I think you've just got to keep playing it because then that's how they learn.
                                         
                                         That's how they'll get better.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I mean, that's the only joy as a parent
                                         
                                         is tormenting your children, isn't it?
                                         
                                         That's one of my loves.
                                         
    
                                         It's the hardest one.
                                         
                                         Like, when they, you know, you go out
                                         
                                         and say, oh, let's have a race, you know,
                                         
                                         and they're like, I want to have a race with your dad.
                                         
                                         I'm like, okay, well, you know, what do you want?
                                         
                                         Do you want me to go properly or not?
                                         
                                         And they always say yes, so, okay.
                                         
                                         You're like 100 metres.
                                         
    
                                         Blister.
                                         
                                         My girls are getting older now.
                                         
                                         Trying to chase one down the other day and it's a bit harder.
                                         
                                         Getting out of the game too.
                                         
                                         All you need to do is do the races in Zoom, mate.
                                         
                                         You can start a little bit earlier.
                                         
                                         Yeah, that's the one, yeah.
                                         
                                         Hey, Kerry, you're a nice guy and I want to put that to the test right now.
                                         
    
                                         You and Jono went to the same school, same high school,
                                         
                                         so who do you think the school's more proud of?
                                         
                                         Be honest.
                                         
                                         What, he's going to say me?
                                         
                                         Don't make Kieran feel bad.
                                         
                                         I'm sorry.
                                         
                                         I want to ask you a question, Kieran.
                                         
                                         Have you ever been asked back for an inspirational speech?
                                         
    
                                         For St. Kent? No. Well, see, I don't technically belong to St. Kent,
                                         
                                         you see. You know, I was there for St. Kent.
                                         
                                         Hey, we paid good money for you.
                                         
                                         We stole you off another school.
                                         
                                         You're ours. We paid top dollar.
                                         
                                         You know, I think my face
                                         
                                         is still up around the school, so...
                                         
                                         You're better than me. I've never been asked back for anything.
                                         
    
                                         I think they've
                                         
                                         deleted me from their memory. They wished he was
                                         
                                         only there for a year.
                                         
                                         Hey, Kieran Reid, look after yourself, look after your family.
                                         
                                         Who knows what's on the horizon for the next year in terms of you for rugby,
                                         
                                         but whatever happens, I hope it goes.
                                         
                                         Will you play Mitre 10 Cup?
                                         
                                         Yeah, thank you very much, guys.
                                         
    
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         You could do.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I don't know.
                                         
                                         I guess I've got to keep myself fit somehow.
                                         
                                         Hey, lovely to catch up with you, and take care in the lockdown.
                                         
                                         Hey, cheers, guys.
                                         
                                         Catch you later.
                                         
                                         One hour of mildly entertaining radio.
                                         
    
                                         It's Jono and Ben's Iso Luncheon.
                                         
                                         On the hit.

                                         putting in the hard yards for the country.
                                         
                                         That's right, and there's no one doing harder yards
                                         
                                         than two low-level broadcasters
                                         
                                         sitting in an air-conditioned radio studio
                                         
    
                                         for an hour a day.
                                         
                                         So I'd just like to acknowledge
                                         
                                         the hard work you're putting in, Ben.
                                         
                                         Don't include us in this.
                                         
                                         I'd like you to acknowledge the hard work I'm putting in.
                                         
                                         I'm not playing your game because we're not...
                                         
                                         Play the game.
                                         
                                         No, in comparison to people out there, no.
                                         
    
                                         We're doing God's work.
                                         
                                         No, you don't deserve this.
                                         
                                         We're out here.
                                         
                                         You don't deserve this at all.
                                         
                                         This is meant to be the nice moment at the end of the show right now,
                                         
                                         so we're going to give someone a call who really does deserve this.

                                         I saw some online te reo classes.
                                         
                                         I was like, I should give that a bloody bash.

                                         Heading to Mosgill, Dunedin.
                                         
    
                                         Hello?
                                         
                                         Hi.
                                         
                                         Who's this? This is Abby. Abby, you're to Mozgill, Dunedin. Hello? Hi. Who's this?
                                         
                                         This is Abby.
                                         
                                         Abby, you're under arrest.
                                         
                                         What for?
                                         
                                         Hang on.
                                         
                                         Sorry, Abby.
                                         
    
                                         What for?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         For breaking our hearts with how lovely you are.
                                         
                                         Oh, stop it.
                                         
                                         No, in all seriousness, Abby, thank you for what you're doing right now.
                                         
                                         You're 17 years old.
                                         
                                         I was just about to.
                                         
                                         You're 17 years old.
                                         
    
                                         This is Jono and Ben calling.
                                         
                                         Alright, and we want to say
                                         
                                         thank you because you work at a supermarket in Dunedin
                                         
                                         and you're putting in extra hours because
                                         
                                         some of the other people there are too old
                                         
                                         to work basically at the moment.
                                         
                                         Yeah. And you're getting abused
                                         
                                         Abby. Oh, yeah.
                                         
    
                                         What are they going? Oh, look at your
                                         
                                         nose and stuff like that. What are they saying
                                         
                                         to you?
                                         
                                         Everybody just doesn't like following instructions, do they?
                                         
                                         I know.
                                         
                                         Everyone just needs to chill out, don't you?
                                         
                                         Just take it easy.
                                         
                                         I went to the supermarket yesterday.
                                         
    
                                         I wore a mask.
                                         
                                         I quite like it because it looks like you've just clocked off work as a surgeon,
                                         
                                         don't you?
                                         
                                         Everyone wanders around like they've just finished their shift as an open-heart surgeon.
                                         
                                         I'll tell you what, Abby.
                                         
                                         He got a text from a mate of ours yesterday going,
                                         
                                         I thought I saw you at the supermarket, this is Jono,
                                         
                                         but I didn't know because you were wearing a mask,
                                         
    
                                         but then I saw your trolley, and what did you have in the trolley?
                                         
                                         Well, it was full of Heineken.
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah, that's definitely Jono.
                                         
                                         I was a little bit disappointed in myself, to be honest, Abby.
                                         
                                         But, Abby, you really are,
                                         
                                         and do you get to work behind one of those big plastic shields?
                                         
                                         Yes. Yeah, good. So they're keeping you get to work behind one of those big plastic shields? Yes.
                                         
                                         Yeah, good.
                                         
    
                                         So they're keeping you safe.
                                         
                                         The supermarkets are looking after you.
                                         
                                         But you are the unsung heroes.
                                         
                                         You guys, if the supermarkets weren't open,
                                         
                                         I wouldn't be able to go around buying my Heineken.
                                         
                                         That is true.
                                         
                                         Thank you, Abby, for what you're doing.

                                         And just to say thanks from New Zealand, all right?
                                         
                                         Oh, thank you so much.

                                         Thank you.
                                         
                                         All right, good on you.
                                         
                                         There we go.
                                         
                                         That's the isolation for another, the isolation for another day.
                                         
    
                                         Before we go, shout out to Jenny from Macargo.
                                         
                                         Oh, another person doing it hard on the front line.
                                         
                                         Boris Johnson, the UK Prime Minister, came down with coronavirus,
                                         
                                         and this is what he had to say.
                                         
                                         I hope they won't mind if I mention in particular two nurses
                                         
                                         who stood by my bedside for 48 hours when things could have gone either way.
