This is the ISO Luncheon. Please welcome your hosts, it's Jono and Ben. I know a lot of people watching just mindless drivel online and on TV at the moment, and I find myself getting quite lost in the infomercials. I don't know about you guys. Oh yeah. And you actually, producer Juliet and Ben, you actually told me about this one. I hadn't seen it. It was the bike that you use, the pedals that you use. You can sit on a couch, but you can also bike with your legs on all the bikes that's

on the carpet. That looks awesome because you can watch TV, right? But you are doing a little bit of movement. Yeah, it's a great invention, I say. It's literally the laziest form of cycling i've ever seen you could do the tour de france on your couch without having to move anywhere yeah but they're like that so it's basically like i have a listen to the end of qb gives you active sitting letting you burn calories and keep moving in an easy and low impact way all while you work read or watch tv they must every time i watch one of these, I'm like,

I need to get one of these. I thought about it too. I don't know why. But then I'm like, they always advertise them as the greatest thing in the world. It's the world's leading one. I'm sure maybe they're the only one. Yeah, because no other idiots decided to invent

a bike that you use on your couch. Yeah, but I wanted one. But then they disappear, and you never hear of them again. And then there's a new great one in six months. You know? That's true. But whatever happened to the bloody how i bought the ab ab circle pro remember that ben i had the ab circle pro yeah you did i tried to get my unprofessional labs looking

professional yeah and how'd that go for you no i still haven't hit the big leagues mate so amateurs haven't had the pros uh but then you never heard of the ab circle pro yeah but they must be shifting a lot of these at the moment because no one has literally got anything to do. Well, because you talked about it before the show and both myself and producer Juliet were like, yeah, we've seen it. We love it.

It's always on telly. Let's go through to the As Seen on TV shop here and see if they'll give us their sensitive sales figures of how many of these bikes. Thank you for calling the TV shop. Wow, he came in hot. The call is important to us, and an operator will be with you very soon.

See, that's what I wish I sounded like. You know, as a radio announcer, that's what you aspire to. Is that John? We know that guy. He looks like an old-fashioned pirate, doesn't he, John, with his moustache. Yes.

Wonderful man. You're speaking with Freddie. May I know what product you're calling for? Oh, hello there it's uh just jono and ben here from the hits how are you oh uh hi i'm good how are you we're calling from a radio station we're just very impressed uh by your the bike does you sit and you basically cycle while sitting on the couch oh yes the qb the qb, he says we're very impressed. I'm not that impressed by it. I'm impressed. I'm just going to be honest. I'm not.

No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. This is a great invention. This is the world's leading bicycle seat couch thing, right? Yes, it's called a QB, actually. Hey, listen, he's just trying to grease you up so he can get a free one and post about it

on his shoddy Instagram account. Yeah, bed underscore, boys underscore. I can give you some shout-outs. Not that you need them. I'm sure at the moment there'll be many people buying them. We actually have a lot of people buying them. How many of these are you selling a day? Hundreds?

Actually, to be very frank, I wouldn't have a clue. Oh, right. Okay, because I was thinking you must be hocking them awfully fast. I also saw the, it was like some sort of belt that sort of gives you electric shocks and electric shocks your fat off. Is that one of yours or not? Yeah. That's it.

It's called Gemform Abs Around. Abs Around. So you just put it like around your waist. Johnna just talked about he had the Ab Circle Pro. It didn't work for him. So maybe this one would. It's like sticking your abs into a plug socket in the wall and electrify them.

I'm sure it's not as bad as that. It's like the next one is going to be like, then you jump into the bath with the toaster ab workout. Oh, well, I hope you're staying safe in lockdown and thank you for all the work you're doing at the moment. Thank you. Okay, so if you want to purchase it, I will have to log a call

because... Oh, okay, no, okay, no. I'm just kidding. To be honest, he's just trying to wrap it up. Well, you can, I'll plug one on Instagram for you if you want

to see one my way. Thank you very much. Yeah, have a great day. Have a lovely day. Thank you. The other thing about the QBO, they're like,

you can use it at work in a meeting. So, like, you're having a meeting with someone and you just put their legs vigorously going up and down under the table

like they needed desperately to go to the toilet or something. I like that. I like that. It's a hugely popular Netflix documentary. Everyone in the world is talking about it. The Tiger King. And it's one of the craziest things you'll see this year. Oh yeah, if you've ever wondered how on earth did Donald Trump get into office,

well, these are the people who got him there. Like a wild cast of characters. And that's not just the tigers. These are the people that run the zoos over there. I think there's almost a full set of teeth between everyone if you add all their teeth together. Now, the show centres around an eccentric zoo owner, Joe Exotic. He has a blonde mullet and a handlebar moustache.

You would have seen him all over social media recently. And his arch enemy was Carol Baskin, who's like an animal activist. And now Joe's, well, spore alert if you haven't seen it, but his theme park's been taken over by someone else. And we are joined by them right now from the documentary The Tiger King. We have on the phone over Zoom as well, we've got Jeff Lowe and his wife Lauren. How's it going, guys? Hi, we're doing pretty good.

How about you guys? It is amazing. I didn't know if you'd be the Zooming type, you guys, but you've been using Zoom quite a bit through this quarantine? Oh my God, a lot. Most of our interviews have all been Zoom. I can imagine because the documentary is massive worldwide. How many annoying radio stations like ours are getting in touch with you guys at the moment?

We've probably done, in the last two weeks, we've probably done 100 interviews, maybe. Oh, yeah, you guys are the best. Yeah. Oh, yeah, we've just started. And that's the end of the interview. Yeah, great. Great to talk to you guys.

It's all downhill from here. Thank you, guys. Have a good one. Yeah, see you guys. Hey, no, in all seriousness, this is the most insane story I think I've ever heard in my life. Do you understand

why the world is fascinated with the Tiger King documentary? No, really because we lived it. We lived this nightmare for three years so everything that happened was almost seemed normal. And now to show it to everybody and stand back and look at it, it's like, wow, what the f***?

We are crazy. Because a lot of people are not happy with how they were portrayed on the show. How about you guys? How did you feel you looked at the end of it? Yeah, they came to us promising us one thing, and this was about Carole Baskin, and then they told Carole Baskin it was about trying to help abolish Tiger Cub. So they lied to everybody,

and they flipped on us to try to make us look like the villains, when actually we should have been the glorified good guys of this because we came here, we rescued all of his starving animals. We put him back on his feet. We left to Las Vegas. And then when we came back here to check on things, it was like all the money was gone. He'd stolen $180,000 out of a bank account. He forged my name to $50,000 in cash checks. And, you know, when we discovered everything was going on, I went to my attorneys in Oklahoma City and they said, we're obligated now to take this to the authorities. So they went to the authorities

and then the authorities came to us. So that's how we ratted out Joe. And that's how we stole his zoo by being, by being nice people. And, you know, you know, I like to point out to people that call us a snitch and a rat. If I knew right now what happened to Don Lewis, would you want me to tell you? Yes. So then I'd be a snitch and I'd be a rat. All right. I was like, Jesus, tell us. We got the exclusive.

We don't deserve the exclusive, but give us the exclusive. I see what you mean there. So how are the animals now? Because a lot the exclusive, but give us the exclusive. I see what you mean there. So how are the animals now? Because a lot of people are obviously concerned with their welfare. You guys are in charge of the zoo. How are the animals? They're doing better than they've ever done. They don't eat Walmart meat that's donated

anymore. They eat meat that we purchased from meat wholesalers. They get medical care. They get the best of everything. Our vet comes once a week to check on everybody, make sure everybody's doing well. We actually just celebrated three birthdays with some cats, and they got some really nice steaks.

And the nanny got peed on. Yeah, the nanny got peed on. Because on the show, you guys said you wanted to get a hot nanny when you had your child. I understand you've succeeded on that life mission, I guess. We always succeed. Can I ask who peed on the life mission, I guess. We always succeed. Can I ask who peed on the nanny? So our lion did.

Oh, the lion. I don't think so. I might later. Oh, jeez. That's a family show. Family friendly peeing on people. Jeff, I want to ask a question. There's a news story that broke yesterday. There's a conspiracy

theory that you are Carol Baskin's murdered husband that she fed to the Tigers. Can you confirm or deny? It's so stupid. It's because look at Carol Baskin and then look at what I hang out with, you know? Oh, so you're just saying you wouldn't do Carol Baskin. That's his major

issue. Now, a lot of people who watch the show obviously think that the cubs and the lions and tigers that you guys have should be released in the wild. But I was reading something online that you said that that can't happen now for these lions that have been, you know, at your park. Well, you know, once an animal's been, they're not domesticated, but once they've been taken out of the wild and bred in captivity, they lose those natural instincts they would take to survive in the wild.

We could release 1,000 tiger cubs into the wild, and I bet you that 10% of them would not survive. Yeah, it'd be like putting us into a real job. We just wouldn't survive. You'd be dead in a week. Are you guys shocked with the success of the show? Because, I mean, it's just been a worldwide smash. Yeah, it's kind of humbling.

It's, you know, we can't go out. There's people right now out at the end of our driveway waiting for us to come out of our driveway. It's insanity. What are they hoping for? A photo or something? Yeah, a photo. They want you to get out of your car and take their picture.

And they don't care about social distancing at all. They come up and they hug you and I had someone kissing me on the cheek the other day. Really? Oh, okay. This thing's getting a bit awkward now. We might have to mute the sound. Coronavirus is

the least of my worries right now. Jeff, what I also really appreciated through the documentary was when you were telling your side of the story and you would reenact Joe Exotic's bits, you would put on Joe's voice, which I thought was a bang-on impression of him. Can you give us a little taste of Joe Exotic?

I'm Joe Exotic, the Tiger King. Get back, you bitch. It's a family show. Well, they watched the Tiger King. The Tiger King wasn't really a family show, but that was a great impression. Great impression. That is Geoff Lowe, one of the stars of the Tiger King.

We spoke to Geoff and his wife Lauren for about 20 minutes, so we're going to play you a part two tomorrow where we ask him if he thinks Joe Exotic deserves to be in prison for 22 years. Yeah, mullets, guns and cats is basically my auntie Deidre from Tawa. The ISO Luncheon with Jono and Ben on the hits. Now Jono,

you know my dad, Kevin Boyce. Wonderful man Kevin Boyce. Now my dad, if you don't know him, because you won't, unless you're Jono, he loves playing the guitar. For years he's played the guitar, he loves to sing along and as a kid he would go around in his wallet carrying a list of 100 songs that he could

play so if we went to a friend's house and he pulled out that list in his guitar I was like oh here we go I'm staying here for a long time strap yourselves in what happened when you got pulled over by the police you got your driver's license no but I have a list of 100 songs which you like to hear you right now so I'm a garfunkel So he loves the Beatles, loves all those sort of old songs. And at the moment, you know, he's a semi-retired teacher and he's got a bit of time on his hands. Do you know the most common thing that people come up to Ben and say is, your dad taught me.

I feel like he has educated three quarters of New Zealand. Yeah, a school principal for many years, my dad. And at the moment, a bit of time on his hands in lockdown. So he decided he would write a bit of time on his hands in lockdown, so he decided he would write a bit of a parody song about the famous nurse Jenny McGee from Invercargill who helped Boris Johnson. Oh, wow. He's done this, has he? He's done it. Oh, wow.

He's taken time out of his day and he's written a parody song. So, I mean, the rich vein of parody music has clearly been passed down the generations and handed on to you. Because that's something I like to do is write a parody song. So I thought we'd give my dad a call. We haven't prepared him for this.

No, because if you prepare Kev, he writes jokes and things, but we find him better when you catch him off guard. He doesn't like this, though. No, because he'll text Ben afterwards and go, I could have prepared some bits. Hello, Kevin Boyce speaking. Hello, Kevin Boyce. It's your son here with Jono.

G'day, how are you? Oh, good, Kev. We caught you off guard. You're on the radio, mate. We know how much you love this. Yeah, that's good. I'm always prepared for you. I've got three stories, but they'll be three stories.

Now he's got them sitting there in his wallet, along with his hundred songs. We were just talking about the fact that you wrote a song for the Kiwi nurse, Jenny McGee. So if you haven't heard the song... No, I haven't. Has anyone? Hey, John, be careful.

Now, remember, your musical skills are not that high. No, I can't throw stones. I'm not going to throw stones. You are an accomplished musician, Kevin. Here's a little snippet of a parody song from which artist? Chris Christopherson, whom I saw in concert at the end of last year. There's a story.

He waddled on stage about 82 years old, and he played this song. Feeling from till someone looked at me A Kiwi nurse, her name Jenny McGee La la la, la la la la So obviously there's more. I just thought I'd play a little snippet right now. Did you like Boris Johnson cutting in? Have you done an impersonation of Boris Johnson?

Yes, have a listen to this. Jodie McGee from Invercargill. Thank you so much. Put me back to where I can be. Oh, what a lovely tribute. And you put this on Facebook, and what happened? Well, then last night... He melted the internet?

He ended the internet with the awesomeness of the song? As we speak, 117 views, but I'm not going to talk about it. One very important view, shall we say. Yeah, well, even more important, Jenny McGee responded. Oh, I thought you were going to say Boris Johnson. No, he'll be coming later. Jenny McGee herself. So the wonder nurse from Invercargill who got the shout-out from Boris Johnson

messaged you and said what? She said, wow, which is very good, I thought. And she said also, you know, I'm just reading it now. I don't want to misquote her. It's fine if you misquote her. If you misquote her a bit, no one's going to take you to the court. She said, I'm so touched by the message. Keep safe.

And she put a kiss at the end of it. So there you go. Oh, wow. That's awesome. There we go. Well, that's very cool. What an adorable thing to do. It was 1 minute 23. So if you want to Oh, wow. That's awesome. There we go, Kev. Oh, well, that's very cool. What an adorable thing to do. Probably, it was one minute 23,

so if you want to play the whole thing, that would be royalty free. Oh, listen, we've played, you know, the audiences have had a wonderful taste of it. They've enjoyed it. Yeah. It's available now on Apple Music and Spotify. Actually, Kev, I know you do have a rich history

of songs you like to add a bit of a personal flavour to, and you actually wrote one. Oh, don't do this. About his son, Benjamin Boyce. Oh, when I was little. But, Kev, why don't you acapella it now. Oh, no. We love Benjamin Boyce.

I'll sing along because I know the words. Don't do this. John, I just keep talking because I've got my guitar right here. He's ready to go. Oh, jeez. And I don't want to embarrass Ben. Yes, I do. Okay, here it is.

Okay. Just go to the chorus. Just go to the chorus. No one wants to hear the verses. Oh yeah. Hey Dad. The audio's not that great. But he's obviously put the phone down.

And we can't hear him. I'm going to tell him to put the phone close. But we can't obviously. I don't know how long it will be going. Kim! Kim! We can't hear him properly. Kim!

No, it's good. We couldn't hear it. We couldn't hear it. kev Hey, sorry, I don't mean to butt in can we get a take two on the song just now we're coming dead All right, ladies and gentlemen Just start out We're telling dad jokes Yeah no no We're just Just a game Okay Alright ladies and gentlemen Give a voice Maybe one day We'll end the song These two germs

Are the 0.1% Hand sanitiser Can't get rid of Jono and Ben's Iso luncheon On the hit Now this is a wee game That we want to play

Called Controversial Callouts Where each is going to say something That could be deemed Controversial Yep Ben's going to give going to say something that could be deemed controversial. Yeah, Ben's going to give us views and opinions on immigration. No, we're not that controversial. No, we're not going quite down that road. When you say not that controversial,

it makes you seem like you have quite controversial opinions. Sorry, that's not the only thing I don't have. I don't feel I have controversial opinions around this. Oh, you should hear his hot take on prison law reform. He is about to unleash. These are more light stuff like pineapple on pizzas. You might be a fan of it

and people go, oh, that's controversial. Right, so how does it work? You give an opinion? Yeah. And I give an opinion? And we see the first person to call through on 0800 The Hits

and get someone to agree with us. Maybe no one agrees with us. Can we bring in Social Al? Social Al? Social Al, come in here. Wonderful, Alan. We call him Social Al,

like head of our social media, but he's much higher up than that. Is there a mic? Social Al? Social Al, come in here. Wonderful, Alan. We call him Social Al, like head of our social media, but he's much higher up than that. Is there a mic? Social Al can jump on there? Can we come on in, Social Al? Do you jump on there? Does that one work, Producer Juliet? Hopefully, yes.

Let's have a look. No, that one's it. You can just shoot mine. Do you want to come around by me? You can come around by me. You would have thought, you know, a better radio show would have pre-repeated the entry of Social Al.

Social distancing is great, Juliet. Oh, yeah, you guys need to be more separated. Now, you've got a bit of an opinion that we deem is quite controversial. You're from Australia originally. You've come to New Zealand. We've welcomed you here. Here's my immigration opinion.

I'm getting into it now. Not like your country that kicks us out. You're welcome here. We love you. You're great. But you've got an opinion around one of our national icons. Yeah, when I first moved here, I went to a party

and everyone was raving about this Kiwi onion dip and it tastes like crap. Whoever says that's good needs Jesus. It's not good. That does hurt. In places I didn't even know I got hurt. And so we would throw that out there and see if anyone agrees with them.

And I would say no one in New Zealand would agree. So what's your controversial call-out? My controversial call-out, and it could be deemed in the same field as social owls, what is tomato sauce? No. Not a fan. Don't.

Don't. I just didn't. What do you mean, don't? You've designed this game. You said, come up with a controversial opinion. Seven million units a year. We just learned about this in the logo game we're playing on the live stream. Yeah, not a fan.

Not a fan. Give me Heinz any day. Okay, I know the hits. If you agree with Jono, that one, I'm for. Okay, what's your controversial? I'm going to say birthday cake and cake in general. Just overrated. I don't want cake.

I don't like cake. He doesn't like cake for a couple of reasons. The hygiene reason, too, that, you know, when you go to a children's birthday and they're like, blow the candles out, and they sort of unleash a layer of saliva on top of the cake, which, you know, makes it less appealing. Yeah, and even just in general. You're not a cake fan?

No. Okay. 0800, that hits the telephone number. Who is the first caller we can get to agree with one of our controversial opinions? Do you not like Wadi's tomato sauce or do you not like cake? Or if you want to chime in on this onion dip scandal, you can as well. I don't know anyone's going to agree on that, but should we go to the phones?

Yeah, let's hit the Rotorua. Lisa, welcome. Hi. You're agreeing with who? The sauce or the cake or you just want to have a crack at social health for his blasphemy comments, blasphemous comments regarding onion dip? We agree with the dip and the sauce. Oh my God!

Get out of New Zealand! Leave! You can't, it's in lockdown. Well, when the borders are relaxed, get out of New Zealand. Not at all. Pardon? So if you came round to my place

when you were allowed and I went, here you go, here's some chip and dip and here's some sausage rolls with tomato sauce, what is? You'll be like, nah, not for me. I'd eat it if it was free.

Okay, you relax your morals if it's, yeah, okay. All right, well, there you go. So a win for me. You agreed with the sauce and agreed with Social L. Lisa, thank you so much for phoning up and for calling us. You're going to get $15,000. Worth of what? Hugs.

Yeah. From me. Virtual hugs. Now, we're going to check you some Hell Pizza. It's coming your way. An $80 Hell Pizza voucher, right? Just like $15,000. Wow, thank you.

Good on you. I hope you like Hell Pizza. And if you don't, please do not say right now. Not right now. Stop talking. Stop talking. Jono and Ben's ISO luncheon. All the hits.

Now, we're catching up with famous New Zealanders in their bubble and joining us from The Bachelor. She was on Celebrity Treasure Island. She was on The Bachelorette. Yeah, she was on Celebrity Underground Knife Fight Club. That's a real TV show. I'm a celebrity, give me some free stuff. But anything with a celebrity on it.

Joining us on Zoom as well, it's Lily McManus. How's it going, buddy? G'day, guys. Not too bad. How are you? We're doing really well. I can see, I don't know where you're living, but it looks like a sleepout that some weed dealer in the Hawke's Bay

would be staying in out the back of the house. Yeah, it's my dealer, actually. He's got a good little set up here. Good on him. I know. People are so kind. But, yeah, basically just a little shout out to Nelson, and it's nice because the beach is right there.

You know, I heard Auckland's a little bit cooked at the moment, so I'm happy to be here. So you're such a, you're such a like, oh, whatever happens. I'm going to live in a shed for a month and surf. You're right. I just want to be like you. I love that attitude to life, Lily. I think you've got it a little bit.

I wouldn't doubt yourself. No, don't look at me. I'm wearing rubber gloves, mate. What do the rubber gloves do? Because you still touch stuff and then you still touch stuff with the gloves. We know. We had this conversation yesterday. Apparently the gloves hold the germs for longer.

For longer, yeah. In all seriousness though, Lily, how are you coping? Because you chose Richie at the end of The Bachelorette. Are you isolating with him? Yeah, he's downstairs at the moment. I think he's – are you all right? Yeah, he's all right. It was kind of a weird choice.

We were like, do we really want to spend four weeks together? Do we really want to spend four weeks apart? So we kind of took a gamble, decided to spend it together. And yeah, no one's dead yet. Oh, great. Because are you regretting your decision just between us and the internet? I don't want him to hear something nodding. Okay, she's nodding.

Yeah. Did you, on that final of The Bachelorette, obviously you were the only one that chose someone. Did you know that Lucina was not going to choose anyone before you had to choose? I mean... Because surely the producers would be like, you better choose someone,

otherwise these last 56 episodes are a waste of time. No. No, I kind of knew what was going on. Like, it was interesting. Me and Lucina were really on the same kind of ride to begin with. And then we both just went on different journeys because we were dating different dudes. Like, I didn't have to date Aaron, so I can't, like, relate.

Was there ever a concern you were both going to fall in love with the same person? Because as a soulless TV producer, I'd be like, yes, please. This is the ideal outcome. Yeah, that wouldn't be the ideal outcome for me. To be honest, I was kind of in a point where I was like, look, if we're fighting over the same dude, you can just have him.

Because I don't really feel like any guy is worth, like, I don't know, women against each other on TV. You guys have that free-loving attitude. Just have him. Now, Lily, I got into a deep hole of researching you. And if I can just read out, this is a movie. Lily was in a movie. Really? An American movie.

The storyline was a young female designer with attention deficit disorder struggled to get her bikini designs noticed in the competitive bikini designing industry, and the movie was called American Bikini. Riveting stuff. It really was riveting stuff. Seriously, how did American Bikini get made?

And secondly... It was in kind of like a dungeon like this one. Very... No, it's funny because I have no idea. I knew some people in LA, and it was like a small production company, and there was like a big like, hey, you look like the kind of girl we want. And I was like, I don't know. I knew some people in LA and it was like a small production company and there was like a big like, hey, you look like the kind of girl we want.

And I was like, I don't know what I'm doing. And I was like, well, let's give it a go. And then I gave it a go. And look, I never ever want that to surface again. I noticed in the biography, the story, the backstory was, because I can't do an accent and I imagine you might've been struggling to do an accent. They were like a lady who was born in America, but then grew up in New Zealand but then came back to America

to chase her bikini designing dream. Oh that's good. I was like look guys I can't do anything are you sure you want to hire me? They're like don't worry we'll just cater to you and I was like perfect and yeah they just gave me a Kiwi accent into the storyline because they were like I can't American accent I can't hit my car. Lily in all seriousness last year you did a very brave thing. You came out about your hearing impairment that you'd suffered through your whole life. How's the response been to that?

Because I imagine for a lot of young people, that'd be a really, really cool thing to see someone like yourself on a platform come out and say, I've been struggling with this. It was never something I saw myself doing. I found out when maybe I was about 13, 14 years old and I didn't actually like own it and admit to myself that I had a problem until I was about 18. And that's when I started wearing my hearing aids because I was going to university. I needed to hear and all of this stuff. And yeah, thinking of 13 year old me, she would never think that now 23 year old me is able to speak about it on a public stage

because I couldn't even tell my friends. it's almost just like paying it forward because I needed someone like that and if I can be that person for someone it kind of just feels like my job done because when do you ever have someone with a hearing loss in the media industry who's also of a younger age those three don't ever come together so I don't know if it will come together again so I feel like it's almost my responsibility to talk about it as much as it sucked for me to be able to open up and I felt really vulnerable. It is great. So you must be quite adept at lip reading, I imagine. You would have had to kind of teach yourself to... Yeah, I've been staring at your mouth the whole time. Okay, so I'm going to say something now in silence and

you have to tell me what I'm saying. Okay. It sounded like meningitis, but I don't think that was it. Ben is a great guy. That was so close. Ben has meningitis. Oh, jeez. All right. Well, Lily, so good catching up with you.

You're safe, safe in your bubble, all right? And we'll look forward to catching up when we can, when we're allowed to after lockdown. Awesome, guys. I look forward to it. The ISO Luncheon with Jono and Ben on the hits. Now, we do like to end the show by rewarding someone, an ISO legend we call them, thanks to GrabOne,

who's doing great work out there in our community. And can I just say before we get to this person, you gave GrabOne a very sloppy little shout-out yesterday. I was like, what's the cool stuff? Whereas on GrabOne, you're like, oh, there's meat. It was nice meat. But I was like, like today there's amazing things sailing adventures

dive courses beauty massage and spa motel deals automotive work restaurants and you're like oh there's meat

it was great meat but oh my god is anyone listening to this guy at the moment he starts out with his arrogant ragged bone man

that's the 39th most played song of the last 500 years. The last decade. And then he comes in here and then tries to show me out for the shabby broadcaster I am and the lack of research. He's gone underground. He's printed out Excel documents, price figures.

You want to give us the price on those as well, buddy? Anyway, we'll save that bickering to the car ride home. The wingman. We've got to reward someone right now, an ISA legend who's doing great work for New Zealand out there in essential service. If you want to nominate someone, head to thehits.co.nz. Yeah, you can text as well. Just text HITS and a few details about it. Hello?

Alba? Yes. Patel? Yes. Kisgrove? Yes. Derry? Yeah.

Saint? Albans? It's Jono and Ben calling from the HITS radio station. Dairy? Yeah. Saint? Auburn? It's Jono and Ben calling from the Hits radio station. We just wanted to ring you up and say thank you for what you're doing right now. Thank you so much, yes. All right, see you later. Thank you. No, no, no.

You're doing great work for the community. You've been nominated. Apparently, you guys are always friendly and polite. You're also stocking fruit and vegetables right now, and awesome community focus. Yeah, thank you. And you know what we're going to give you for that? What? A $250

Grab One voucher. Oh, thank you. That's for you. Annie and John, my parents live in St Albans. Do you know them? No. No. I thought, you know. You sounded like you did.

We'll tell you what, we'll get them to go and visit, all right? Yeah, then you can get to know them. From two metres away. Yes, exactly. Well, you keep up the great work, Alba, at the St Albans Kisgrove Dairy. Yes. All right, sounds like you're very busy. We'll let you get back to it.

Okay, thank you. The unmistakable ring of the dairy doorbell. You can't deny that. Well done, Alba. And as we mentioned, if you want to nominate anyone for our ISO legend. Get some meat from GrabOne. Awesome. That's some great stuff.

What else can they get, Ben? You've pretty much read the whole website. You've memorised it. It's a great website. I was just like, anyway, we'll leave our bickering till tomorrow. Thank you so much for joining us from your bubble, from ours to yours. Yeah. Joining us again tomorrow,

we're joined by the man from the Tiger King. What's his name? I keep calling him Rob Lowe. Joe Lowe. No, Jeff Lowe. Jeff Lowe. Back for part two of our interview

with the Tiger King. Susie Cato with us on the Isle Luncheon tomorrow. Yeah. And I tell you what, some more inane chatter and banter. It's going to be a big show. We really love spending

this time with you and we'll do it again tomorrow. Stay safe, stay sanitised. Good day, Aotearoa.
