Starting point is 00:00:00 This is the ISO Luncheon. Please welcome your hosts, it's Jono and Ben. 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.
Starting point is 00:00:33 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.
Starting point is 00:00:49 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?
Starting point is 00:01:06 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. Anyway, we've got an awesome show for you today.
Starting point is 00:01:25 Joining us, Hayley Holt from Breakfast. She's got a awesome show for you today joining us Hayley Holt from Breakfast she's got a big announcement for you yeah she's pregnant yeah a bigger announcement
Starting point is 00:01:31 than she's pregnant yeah a bigger one than that exclusive for you she's turning to what we'll find out soon in the podcast
Starting point is 00:01:38 as well as that Kieran Reid former All Black captain and a wee fun game where we put the man in your life on the spot
Starting point is 00:01:44 enjoy the podcast Jono and Ben's ISO luncheon on the hits I always find it disturbing watching fully grown adults in onesies I try to take a cute one
Starting point is 00:01:53 I spent 20 minutes of my weekend of course you've got a onesie what's your onesie I've got I've got a couple I've got a unicorn
Starting point is 00:02:00 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.
Starting point is 00:02:13 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,
Starting point is 00:02:30 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.
Starting point is 00:02:42 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.
Starting point is 00:03:01 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
Starting point is 00:03:17 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.
Starting point is 00:03:36 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.
Starting point is 00:03:53 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.
Starting point is 00:04:04 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
Starting point is 00:04:25 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,
Starting point is 00:04:34 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.
Starting point is 00:04:43 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.
Starting point is 00:04:50 But let's say... Then what was the point of this vote? I just want to see if there's better ones. Why are you pretending to have this fake vote but you're like,
Starting point is 00:04:55 we're probably going to name it Bubble. We'll see. But let's call the kids right now and say we're going to call it, well, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:04:59 what's the funniest one, Joe Exotic or something? I like Joe Exotic. You got the number there? We'll see if the kids want it. So Joe Exotic was planning on running for president. Really? I would vote forotic. You got the number there? We'll see if the kids want it. It's the Joe Exotic who I was planning on making for president.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Really? I would vote for Joe. From the Tiger King Netflix documentary. Yeah. I would vote for Joe Exotic. Hopefully one of the kids answers and we'll say,
Starting point is 00:05:13 hey, we've made a decision. Thanks for the hits. We're going to call the cat Joe Exotic. Do your kids answer the phone? We'll find out. Yes. Yes, but don't talk.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Hello? Hello. Hello. Hello. Sienna. Hi. This is my 10-year-old Sienna. Hey, Sienna, I've got very important news right now. He's not your real dad. We just got the paternity test. The important news is we've named the
Starting point is 00:05:43 kitten. What? We've named the kitten. What? We've named the kitten. The kitten is now Joe Exotic. All right? So there we go. We've got a name for the kitten. Great joke.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Very funny. 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. How desperate are you? Make sure you listen to the radio
Starting point is 00:06:07 Please, please And they're doing what you've asked They're being supportive children We get questions asked every night And if we don't get enough questions right We have to do it all again on iHeartRadio Well you need to listen to it a second time
Starting point is 00:06:25 because you obviously haven't listened well enough the first time. It's part of your homeschooling curriculum that we're doing at the moment. It's media studies.
Starting point is 00:06:32 It's worse than school. I really want to go back. Yeah, it is worse than school. Can we hang up on her, please? Great plug for iHeartRadio though, Sienna. It was a great plug. The ISO Luncheon
Starting point is 00:06:41 with Jono and Ben on the hits. We're catching up with famous New Zealanders in their bubble and joining us on the phone right now from breakfast, Hayley Holt. How's it going? Good.
Starting point is 00:06:51 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?
Starting point is 00:07:04 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.
Starting point is 00:07:15 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.
Starting point is 00:07:33 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.
Starting point is 00:07:50 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.
Starting point is 00:08:07 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.
Starting point is 00:08:20 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.
Starting point is 00:08:38 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.
Starting point is 00:08:54 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.
Starting point is 00:09:19 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,
Starting point is 00:09:40 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.
Starting point is 00:09:58 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
Starting point is 00:10:15 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?
Starting point is 00:10:41 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
Starting point is 00:10:58 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.
Starting point is 00:11:16 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
Starting point is 00:11:36 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.
Starting point is 00:11:53 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.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Yeah. It's a little boy. Hey, you heard it here first. Forget what you heard on breakfast. Here first. Hayley Holt, you hear that? The hits. Join on being new to the hits.
Starting point is 00:12:16 All new breakfast starting on the 20th. Hayley Holt, so good to catch up with you. Congratulations again. Very exciting news for you. We're super stoked. Cheers, guys. Thanks for calling. Good on you, Hayley. Congratulations again. Very exciting news for you. We're super stoked. Cheers, guys. Thanks for calling. Good on you, Hayley.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Good sort. We got an exclusive too. So nice and good work there, Jono. Yeah, well, if you don't factor in the hugely popular breakfast television show, Ben, then yes, we did get an exclusive, my friend. These two germs are the 0.1% hand sanitiser can't get rid of. Jono and Ben's Iso Luncheon. On the hit.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Who could forget the segment that's truly forgettable? Him. Important dates. That's right. This is where we put generally, generally the male population under an immense amount of pressure live on the radio. We talk to a listener and we phone their partner and we ask them about the important dates.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Now, Karen's with us on 0800 The Hits. K-Dawg, how are you? I'm good. How are you? Welcome to The Isolation. Listen, we're fine, mate. We're only working for 60 minutes a day. That's easy, hey? Well, no, we make it sound very hard.
Starting point is 00:13:14 I don't know if you listen to the show. We're about to see you in your bubble. I'm in her base. Oh, wonderful, Karen. Now, what has been the best part about isolation for you? The best part has just been spending extra time with my bubble, with my little daughter Poppy. Oh, that's nice.
Starting point is 00:13:33 With your what? With your baby? Daughter Poppy. Oh, daughter Poppy. That's a cute name. So we're going to put your partner or husband on the spot, right? Yep. So wedding anniversary, what's the date that he needs to know? He needs to get all four of these right for you to get that hell pizza voucher, right?
Starting point is 00:13:47 Yeah. Well, we got married twice. Oh, God. Oh, no. What happened the first time? Ended in tears? So we had to get legally married, and then we got married in Italy. So the first time we got married was the 21st of September.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Okay. 21st of September, yep. And what year was that? 2015. 2015, okay. And do you want to do the second time? And the second time was the 26th of September, 2015. September, 2015.
Starting point is 00:14:14 He really made that hard for himself. Two dates to remember. Now... Should we go with two other questions? Yeah, let's go. Your birthday. So my birthday's the 26th of October. 26th of October.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Yep. Okay, we'll leave the year out, you know. No, I want to know the year. I want to know Karen's age. And let's go, do you know first kiss or do you have something else? Yeah, I reckon 22nd of August. Why are you so good at remembering dates?
Starting point is 00:14:42 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.
Starting point is 00:14:56 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. Hey, Philip.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Jono and Ben from the Isolunchin, the highest-rating lunchtime radio show in the world. Welcome. Good to be here. Thank you for playing, even though you didn't actually ring up to play. We've got your wife, Karen, on the phone. You've got to answer some simple questions, and you guys will win an $80 Hell Pizza voucher, right?
Starting point is 00:15:26 Those will come in handy. And if you don't answer them, you'll win pain and suffering for the remainder of the day, Phil. First question, what is the date of your wedding anniversary? Which one? Give us both. We had our official signing the contract wedding on 21st of September, 2015.
Starting point is 00:15:51 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.
Starting point is 00:16:14 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?
Starting point is 00:16:28 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.
Starting point is 00:16:44 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.
Starting point is 00:17:00 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.
Starting point is 00:17:14 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,
Starting point is 00:17:30 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.
Starting point is 00:17:51 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.
Starting point is 00:18:09 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.
Starting point is 00:18:24 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.
Starting point is 00:18:33 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.
Starting point is 00:18:40 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.
Starting point is 00:18:51 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.
Starting point is 00:19:09 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.
Starting point is 00:19:20 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.
Starting point is 00:19:34 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.
Starting point is 00:19:52 ...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.
Starting point is 00:20:01 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.
Starting point is 00:20:14 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.
Starting point is 00:20:32 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.
Starting point is 00:20:47 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.
Starting point is 00:20:57 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.
Starting point is 00:21:13 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.
Starting point is 00:21:35 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
Starting point is 00:21:54 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.
Starting point is 00:22:11 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.
Starting point is 00:22:32 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.
Starting point is 00:22:52 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.
Starting point is 00:23:05 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
Starting point is 00:23:20 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.
Starting point is 00:23:37 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.
Starting point is 00:23:53 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.
Starting point is 00:24:11 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.
Starting point is 00:24:25 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.
Starting point is 00:24:48 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?
Starting point is 00:25:03 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.
Starting point is 00:25:21 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.
Starting point is 00:25:39 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.
Starting point is 00:25:53 It's Jono and Ben's Iso Luncheon. On the hit. Thanks to GrabOne, we want to reward someone who's doing great work for our community at the moment, an essential worker out there 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
Starting point is 00:26:08 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.
Starting point is 00:26:21 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. Thanks to Grab One. Your everyday essentials delivered today.
Starting point is 00:26:33 Grab One, you can check them out. I saw some online te reo classes. I was like, I should give that a bloody bash. $200. That's good. Good bargain. Yeah. Heading to Mosgill, Dunedin.
Starting point is 00:26:43 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.
Starting point is 00:26:52 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.
Starting point is 00:27:04 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.
Starting point is 00:27:20 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.
Starting point is 00:27:33 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,
Starting point is 00:27:49 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.
Starting point is 00:28:06 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. $250 from GrabOne.
Starting point is 00:28:21 You can spend that after lockdown on whatever you want. And just to say thanks from New Zealand, all right? Oh, thank you so much. You keep up the good work, Abby. Thank you. All right, good on you. There we go. That's the isolation for another, the isolation for another day.
