Hello, Mary podcast family of podcasters. How are you all going? G'day, guys. We did something a little bit different today, didn't we? Yeah. We went live on Facebook. I just thought I'd... One of our Facebook members messaged us and they were like, her name's... Her name? Sorry, Ellie, do you want to make some more noise in the background of this, please? Is that good? Is that...

I like it. Sorry, guys. It's a bit of background. Ambience. Ambience. And someone messaged us and they were like, in these uncertain days that nobody knows how our lives are going to look like tomorrow, I just want to say I appreciated that you guys got out of your comfort zone

in order to improve everyone's morale by going live here on Facebook. Long story short, thank you for your great efforts to put your worries aside and to bring joy to all of your listeners. That's really lovely. Fuck we're heroes, honestly. Okay. Honestly, if I don't get knighted at the end of this thing, then I'm, I don't know.

Yeah. I don't know what I'm going to do, you know? I think it's, yeah, I don't know. It's weird going live during a radio show. It actually is very strange. Yeah. We go live in four-minute bursts. To go live for three hours was unnerving.

To be honest. I felt like I was on show the whole time. I felt like I needed to be like, hey, and like overly gesticulating. I felt like I was on stage. Personally, I feel exhausted from it. Yeah. Like it's like when you go live on, have you ever done it on Instagram or, like, whatever, and you just feel like, yeah, you have to put on a show?

Yeah, and then you get three minutes and you're like, okay, well. The only time I do it is when I'm, like, intoxicated and I just don't give a shit. I'll be like, you guys are going to get whatever I show you. You're going to like it. If the mood wasn't so serious right now, it would be fun to do an intoxicated Facebook Live. Oh, intoxicated. Yeah.

Remember I wanted to do that. But they are serious. I'm not doing that. I wanted to do the podcast on laughing gas. Yeah, we put that idea to our legal team and they said, nah, Bol. They said we'll get arrested. Yeah, because we're using a drug. We're using a prescription or whatever it is, a controlled drug for recreational purposes.

Yeah. We're not using it for recreational purposes, we're using it for science, bitch. Yeah, but then in America, apparently we would have been able to do A podcast on weed Because it's legal over there Can I just say that just before I wasn't calling the lawyer a bitch That was a Breaking Bad reference I definitely thought you called

Our lawyer here at work a bitch No, no, no I was like, she's actually lovely She's wonderful, I love her Too much, if anything But no, I was doing Jessie from Breaking Bad Boom! Science, bitch! He's actually lovely. She's wonderful. I love her. Too much, if anything. But no, just doing Jessie from Breaking Bad. Boom!

Science, bitch! Well, see, that was a bit better. Yeah. Bitch. We need to go home to our friends and families. So let's do that. And you enjoy the podcast. And we'll do another one for you tomorrow.

Yeah. Stay safe, everyone. Check up on your loved ones. Reach out to people. And you enjoy the podcast. And we'll do another one for you tomorrow. Yeah. Stay safe, everyone. Check up on your loved ones. Reach out to people. Ask how they're doing. Change your undies. Yeah. And we'll be back tomorrow.

Bye, guys. Bye. Hey, Google. What's the time? It's 3 p.m. Give or take a minute. Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.

Hey, Siri. Winner, Bree and Clinton. Bree and Clinton are on air in five, Radio. Hey, sorry, when are Brie and Clint on? Brie and Clint are on air in five, four, three, two, one. Hey, good afternoon, everybody. Brie and Clint live for another afternoon. Yes, we're back. We're here. And as we said yesterday, we're here to talk to you.

If you want to talk to us, let us know how you're feeling. You can text us on 9696 or you can call the show anytime, 0800-DIAL-ZM. Yeah, no essential service. And like we've said before, and we'll keep saying this, no essential service plays more Dua Lipa than this one. We're Dua Lipa heavy. Yeah. Yeah.

As well as important information, updates. Yes, we will be giving all of that to you. Everything that's factual and that stuff that you need to know, you'll get on our show as well. And hopefully a couple of lols too. Let's start out with a quick round the room. How's everybody doing? How are you feeling, Bree? There's a lot going on at the moment.

And, you know, above everything else, I'm feeling okay. I'm thinking about everyone else who's obviously got it a lot tougher than me, but we're all feeling it. Did you get an inhaler? I did. I just want to say thank you so much to everyone. There were so many of you. I couldn't reply to everyone that messaged me

and said that they had a spare preventative inhaler. If you missed it yesterday, had a bit of a cry on air. I couldn't find one. That was quite incredible the way people pull together for things like that, and you're just an example of it. This is a tiny example, yeah. My neighbour sent me a Facebook message going, hey, I hear Bree needs an inhaler.

I've got a spare one. I'm like, that is so generous. It's so lovely. You probably need that for yourself right now. But that's the spirit of stuff we need at the moment. Yeah, it absolutely changed my whole state of mind yesterday, seeing how lovely people were. And that's what we need to take into moving forward

is be like that when you can and just help each other out when you can. Did you do any panic buying yesterday? No, I didn't. Did you buy anything? No, I didn't. You didn't buy yourself anything? No.

Okay, well done. Oh, no. I did get a pack of nuggets from McDonald's. Yeah, good. Good. That's, I mean, that's the looming crisis for some people, is the inability to buy Chicken McNuggets or KFC Wicked Wings for four weeks. Yeah, I know.

That is the reality. But it is also the right decision. Totally the right decision. And I know everyone would be thinking that too. Tonight, Lucy and I, my wife, we're having Thai takeaways from the places up the road from our house because more to support, well, one, let's not make it completely selfless. I want Thai.

I won't be able to get it for a while. But those guys are going to have to shut their doors. They're a small business. So there's those guys in your community you think of. There's your local cafes who will have bulk stock to offload at the moment. Yeah, I talked to one of my friends who owns a cafe and I said, how can we help you? Obviously, you're closing down for four weeks.

That's super stressful. And she said, you know, if people want to come into the cafe and offer to buy some of the stock that they have that they're not going to be able to use, think about that. Think about the local cafes. If you know the people well enough, offer to be like, you know, I'll buy some eggs off you or I'll buy some meat. If you grind your own coffee at home, why don't you buy a sack of coffee

to get you through this four weeks from your local cafe before they close tomorrow. Tomorrow will be their last day of trading if they haven't already closed today. Seems like a small thing, but, you know, it's something that might be able to help someone out a little bit. Lots of little things. Okay, we're going to start with a bit of fun.

Let's play a game next. We invented this game yesterday. It's called Quarantine Cluedo. That's right. All you need to do is be at home, which we all should be. Be at home, self-isolating, and you need to give us a call now. Yeah, if you are in your house right now, you can play Quarantine Cluedo with us straight after Lizzo.

Bree and Clint, ZDM. Bree and Clint. Let's play a game, okay? Welcome to Quarantine Cluedo. Essentially, pretty simple game. Obviously, people are at home and we're endorsing that. You give us a call from your house and you and I, Clint, have to decipher what room of the house they're in.

We each get one question. Welcome to Quarantine Cluedo, Susie. Hi, Susie. Hi. You going okay, mate? You all right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we're coming to terms with that, so it's all good. Whereabouts in New Zealand are you, Susie. Hi, Susie. Hi. You going okay, mate? You all right? Yeah, yeah. We're coming to terms with that, so it's all good.

Whereabouts in New Zealand are you, Susie? We're in Taranaki. Okay. Beautiful Taranaki. Can you see the mountain today? Yeah, I can actually. Wonderful. Good day.

Wonderful. Okay. That wasn't the question, by the way. No, that wasn't the question. Okay. For my question, I would like you to tell me, does the room that you're in have a particular smell about it? No, that wasn't the question. Okay, for my question, I would like you to tell me, does the room that you're in have a particular smell about it?

Yes. It does. Okay. Susie, my question for you is, what is the floor covering in that room? Carpet. Carpet. Okay, because I was going to say, no, it's not kitchen. There's no carpet in the kitchen.

Oh, there's no carpet in the kitchen. So where would that be? If anything, it's not the kitchen. It's a bedroom. A room with a distinct smell. Because it's got candles in it. What rooms smell? The toilet, the bathroom, the laundry, the kitchen.

But they're all out because they're not carpet. Yeah, they're not carpet. So it's either the living room or a bedroom. I'm going to say bedroom. I'm going to say bedroom too. Susie, are you in the bedroom? Which one? Oh! Okay, alright. If it's got a distinct smell,

it's your bedroom. No. No, it's the kids' bedroom. Oh. It is. I knew it! It's the youngest one. Yeah. She's got that baby smell. Yeah, okay. I don't think we can claim a victory for that one. No. Thank you, Susie.

She played a tough game. Let's talk with Amy. Hi, Amy. You're calling from Napier. Yes, I am. Are you isolated in your own house? I am isolated. Good.

We like that. Good. Okay. Two questions coming. Are you in the room, by the way, that you want us to play from right now? Yes. You what? Sorry?

Yes, I am. You are. Let what, sorry? Yes, I am. You are. Let's call Amy Mrs Peacock. Mrs Peacock. The room that you're in currently, does it have a lot of natural light? There's enough. There's enough.

There's enough. I know where she is, but you ask your question first. Amy, or Mrs Peacock, as you're more commonly known, do you think it's appropriate to wear shoes in the room that you're in? No. I think it's the bathroom. She's in the toilet. You reckon?

I think she's in the toilet. Okay, toilet. No. What's wrong? Where are you? Where are you? I'm in the baby's room. And there's no natural light because you probably blacked out the curtains, right?

Yeah. Two baby's rooms in a row. Two baby's rooms in a row. They're snooking us. Logan, hi. Hello, Logan. Hello. First question, are you in the baby's room in a row. They've snookered us. Logan, hi. Hello, Logan. Hello. First question, are you in the baby's room?

Ah, yes. No. No, first and most important question, are you going all right at the moment, Logan? Are you handling everything okay? Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Okay, that's good. Professor Plum, we're going to call Logan. Professor Plum. Ooh, Professor Plum. The room that you are in currently, have you ever slept in this room? No, I can't say I have. Okay, it's not a bedroom.

Interesting. And it's not a lounge. Professor Plum, do you do any eating in this room? No. Ooh. So probably bathroom or toilet. No, there's heaps more options that we haven't thought of. He could be in the garage.

Laundry? Laundry? No. What do you think? People love to play the joke of being in the toilet. I think it's the toilet. Logan, are you in the toilet at the moment? No. Damn it!

Damn it! Where are you? I'm in the laundry. Oh, Professor Plum, you... Brie nearly got it. Damn it. Where are you? I'm in the laundry. Oh, Professor Plum, you... Brie nearly got it. Damn it, you sneaky sausage. All right, well, thank you for playing. We were good today, weren't we?

We were awful. Terrible. Zero from three. We need to play some more Cluedo. Yesterday we got two from two. That's Quarantine Cluedo, the game that you can play from your own house with us, but only if you're

isolating like you're supposed to do Exactly Jacinda Ardern is still, is she still currently talking making the address? I think Grant Robertson might be speaking at the moment it was from what we can glean it was a reinforcement of the rules and what

level 4 is going to look like from Midnight Wednesday. Yeah absolutely and we will give you continuous updates on that. One thing she did talk about, which relates to the thing I'm about to tell you, is people have been asking, can I go for a walk? Yeah. And a few of my friends actually asked me this. I think one of my flatmates asked me last night, am I able to go for a walk?

What's the rules around that? You are able to go for a walk. You's the rules around that? You are able to go for a walk. You just have to obviously not come into contact with anyone and just keep your distance from people when you are on that walk. But I think it is important that, yeah, if you need to go for a walk outside, do that. I think the advice I'm seeing, and I saw this from Nigel Letter on TVNZ this afternoon, he said it's actually important to go for a walk. Yeah, for your mental health and just your sanity. Yeah, but you need to follow the rules. You need to stay isolated.

I mean, and it's not too hard to keep your distance from people when you're walking around in your neighbourhood. If you need someone to walk with to be safe, you can walk with the person you're isolated with. Yes, you can, yeah. So you need to isolate while you're walking, but if it's you and your partner who are isolated together... Then that's okay.

Then that's fine. You can and should walk together. And obviously something that's kind of to do with that is walking your animals. And especially, obviously, I don't know how many people are walking their cats. I think the cats will be okay. I've tried.

Yeah, I bet people have tried. But especially people with dogs, obviously that's a routine thing and something that a dog needs is to be walked and, you know, exercised. Yeah. And there's a guy over in Cyprus who has a very good idea for pretty much walking your dog when you're in isolation. Sure.

There's a guy, as I said, in Cyprus who has gone viral on Instagram for posting a video of him walking his dog, Oliver. Right. Except he wasn't there. Okay. He wasn't on the walk. So how'd the dog get walked? He essentially tied his dog to his remote-controlled drone.

Really? And then he was on a balcony in an apartment building and he walked the dog. How do you get the dog to follow a drone? I don't know. Because I imagine that a dog would try and eat the drone? Yeah. Or do you do that thing, do you hang like a meatball

from the drone and you're constantly flying the meatball ahead of the dog? I mean you're toast if the dog ever catches the meatball. I know, you're done. But meatball ahead of the dog. I mean, you're toast if the dog ever catches the meatball. I know, you're done. Yeah. But from the looks of the video, the dog was actually tied to the drone and the drone was sitting behind the dog like it was walking it.

Yeah, oh, right. Yeah, but he said he goes. You need a powerful drone because if the dog decides to go. That's what he said. How are you going to pull back on the leash? So he said, obviously obviously this only works for smaller dogs. Don't use it with a big dog. And really obedient dogs. And really obedient

dogs. Apparently his dog Oliver is quite, you know, the pro at walking on a leash. Yeah, Ray's got a special dog. Yeah. We don't need to go that far yet because like you said, you can still go for a walk. Absolutely. But good to know that it's an option. I just thought it was funny.

Yeah. Lots of, this is what I've thought about drones as well. We were just one year behind with the technology for drone deliveries. Like if we could get our groceries dropped off by drones right now. It'd be, yeah. It'd be sweet. Very helpful. It'd be sweet.

There'd be no panic buying. There'd be nothing. You just dial up a drone who's going to bring you a can of whipped cream and you're good to go. I'd be making a very big net. To catch your stuff? Yeah. Oh, to catch other people's stuff?

Yeah, just to catch anything. Let's go to California and catch up with our correspondent, Dean McCarthy. From iHeartRadio. This is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, first of all, just want to ask how you are. How are you doing? Hey, guys. No, first of all, just want to ask how you are. How are you doing? Hey, guys.

No, I'm great, actually. It is really weird over here at the moment with, I think, 100 million Americans pretty much in lockdown. It means everything except for essential businesses is closed. The streets are empty. LA is literally, Sunset Boulevard,

literally empty. There are no cars on it. It's really, really weird. That's our reality tomorrow. At midnight tomorrow, New Zealand goes into lockdown, and that's going to be our situation as well, Dean. Yeah, it's very unsettling. It'll take a minute to get used to it.

I don't know if you'll ever get used to it, but stay indoors, that's the key. Stay home is the goal. Dean, give us some good news. Tom Hanks has been in isolation for a fair while now with his wife. How are they feeling? Well, this is the good news. Yeah, exactly.

So this is someone very high profile that is getting over it. He said he went on social media today and said, Hey, folks, two weeks after our first symptoms and we feel better. He said sheltering in place works like this. You don't give it to anyone and you don't get it from anyone. Common sense, right? So he is saying that like, everyone, please take the serious, serious

advice of sheltering and you won't get it from anyone and you won't give it to anyone. But overall, he said he's feeling good. So two weeks of isolation for him as he got over the symptoms and yeah, back on his feet. Good old Tom Hanks. It's really important to get survival stories out there too.

And Tom Hanks has become the poster boy for COVID-19. Not that he ever wanted to be that. But Tom Hanks could play Tom Hanks in a movie about COVID-19 soon. The Prime Minister here in New Zealand gave an update that, yes, we have, I think, somewhere around 150 confirmed cases now. But we have 12 people who have recovered from COVID-19 now as well so people are coming out the other side we have no deaths in New Zealand and that's not to say that we won't have any but we have recovery happening already

so give these people a chance to recover by staying home and not clocking up the hospitals where they're going to go to get better and where your family may need to go to get better if they catch this thing absolutely the thing we need to go to get better if they catch this thing. Absolutely. The thing we need to think about right now is not creating this massive boom of people that have it and then not being able to control, you know, obviously all those people.

If we can control the people and treat them and they'll get better and this is how we'll come out the other side. That's the latest with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. He's currently on lockdown in Palm Springs. Bree and Clint. Right now, though, we're looking to boost the morale of the country.

Yeah, we did this yesterday and we thought, you know, obviously music does that for people. Yeah. It absolutely can change someone's mood, give them a bit of hope, a bit of inspiration. Yeah. And so we're asking you on 9696 or on our Facebook live stream, what song do you need to hear right now?

Here are the best suggestions. Are we going to play ACDC's Thunderstrike? Is this the right song right now? What a banger. Are we going to play Wagon Wheel? Are we drunk enough yet to play a wagon wheel? I am. These are great suggestions.

Are we going to play Chumbawamba? I get no doubt that I'll get up again. Yeah, I know the deep end town. I get no doubt that I'll get up again. Good message. That's it? Good message. Yeah, good message.

Yeah, good message, yeah. Are we going to play John Farnham? Maybe. Does things to me, that song. Maybe. Are we going to play that for Jacinda? Are we going to play The Darkness? That's so good, The Darkness. I love this song. I believe in a big cold love. Just don't do it anymore. There's a chance we could make it now.

That's so good, The Darkness. I love this song. Paul from Leftfield, are we going to play Swedish House Mafia? I'm going to save the world tonight. You want a good message? That's got the right message. Yeah. Yeah.

It has to be one of those and we have to play it right now. I got Goosey's off one. Yeah, I think I got the same song as you. I'm just going to put it in there. I think so. I think we both know what it is. Yep. Should we just try our telepathy and see if we're on the same page? Yep. Alright, this is the song I think we need to play right now. This is

the song I was picking too. Such a tune. This is your morale booster for the day New Zealand. It's the darkness. And I believe in a thing called love. Come on, we're in this together, guys. You're behind the steering wheel Touching you Touching me

Touching you Touching, touching me I believe in a big cold love Just don't be afraid of it all For the chance is making now Even looking to the sun goes down I believe in a big cold love Just don't enjoy living alone For the chance we can make it now We're looking for the sun to go I believe in a big cold love I wanna kiss you every minute, every hour, every day

You got me in a spin but everything is okay Touching you Touching me Touching you Touching you Come on, just touch me I believe in a thing called love Just like the light within my mind Give it a chance, we can make it now

We're not gonna finish on your side I believe in a thing called love Ooh, ooh, ooh Get down Touching you Touching me Touching me Touching you Touching you Touching you Touching you Can't you touch me with me? I believe in a thing called love

Just listen to the rhythm of my heart Put the time so we can make it now We're looking for the sun goes down I believe in a thing called love Oh, oh, oh, oh How good. Have you just joined us? You are not listening to Radio Hauraki currently. This is ZM with Bree and Clint, and that's our daily morale booster. We're going to play a song each day suggested by you guys

just to bring the mood up in what is otherwise a pretty stressful time. Yeah, just trying to lighten the mood with a song that you guys want to hear. You know, obviously yesterday there was some big announcements from the Prime Minister here in New Zealand who announced that we would be in full stage four lockdown um by tomorrow night uh one minute before midnight which means i mean everything is going to be shut down pretty much you know fast food restaurants pubs clubs um cafes uh all the essential things will continue to stay open like supermarkets and gas stations and uh us on the radio we will continue to stay open, like supermarkets and gas stations and us on the radio.

We will continue to broadcast. Yeah, but you won't be able to go through the KFC drive-thru and get any Wicked Wings. No. And this, for some people, was part of the crisis. I just got a Snapchat from one of my very good friends who's currently parked in the KFC drive-thru. This is not recommended practice, by the way.

What I'm about to say is not recommended practice. We're not looking to cause any kind of stockpile behaviour. But he is about to go through the drive-thru and stockpile Wicked Wings. And buy three buckets of KFC chicken. So where's the stockpiling come in?

He's going to take those buckets. I don't even know if you can do this with KFC chicken. He's going to take it home and put it in the freezer. I'm pretty sure you could. Can you? Oh, cook chicken like that? Actually, I don't know.

You can freeze cooked chicken. Yeah. And then you can defrost it and reheat it once. So surely the same is true for KFC. Again, this is not approved information that we're sharing at the moment. This is purely theorising. Chicken nuggets you could do it with. Chicken nuggets, yeah.

Yeah, that could be a thing. But do we know? Because you know how some things don't go good frozen and then reheated? Yeah. Some things just never come out the same. I don't think KFC chicken would be one that would come out the other end very well. I don't think anything from McDonald's would come out very well. I like fresh, some of the best stuff out there. What about a milkshake?

A frozen milkshake. Frozen Coke? Frozen Coke would be fine. Nah, it would melt. Frozen Coke would be all right. Actually, the apple pies would be all right. McDonald's apple pies would go good. What else?

Any ice cream would be all right. Tonight I'm having Thai takeaways. I know what I want. I want my pad Thai and my green curry, and they're not going to be open for a month, so tonight the takeaway I'm going to have before it's too late, I'm going to have thai. What are you going to do?

I don't know. I'm going to have a look at Uber Eats and play the field. Might get a few things. One last dance. I would like to support a few of the local businesses because obviously they're the ones that are going to do it the toughest and I'll support as many as I can fit in my stomach. Producer Ellie, it's your last chance.

What is going to be your last takeaway before all the takeaways are closed down for four weeks? Oh, no, you're not working. Don't worry, you don't get to contribute. There she is. No, you're not. No, it's still... No.

I can hear her No I can hear her That Talk I can hear her Talk Oh hi there Am I Can you talk on a different microphone

Yes I'll Oh wait Oh it's this one How is she working in radio I don't know How do you have a job here What an idiot And I love how you're using the mic you never use as well.

I know. What am I doing? You always use that mic. Guys, these are unsuitable times. Okay, your mic's unsuitable. Ellie, what's the last takeaway you're going to have? Thai. There's a new Thai place.

You're having Thai as well? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, cool. Thai food is good. No, Vietnamese. That's what I'm getting tonight. That's my all-time favourite. Vietnamese?

You're not going to get Italian? And Italian. They're my all-time favourite. Vietnamese? You're not going to get Italian? And Italian. They're my two favourites. Oh, $800. Let's get together on this and figure out what it's going to be. Talk us through your process. We can't all have the same thing. Otherwise, there's going to be a logjam.

Yeah, exactly. Oh, $800. What are you guys getting? So we know where we can spread it out? What's your last takeaway before we go into lockdown, New Zealand? 0800 dials at M. Tomorrow at 11.59pm when New Zealand goes into lockdown, you won't be able to get your favourite takeaways for at least four weeks.

Yeah, everything is closing down. It's the right decision you know obviously it um it people are going into those places so much there's people working there that interact with people so much there's money being handed from person to person just makes sense god sucks if you can't cook it does like what a what a time for your weakness to be truly exposed i saw this video on facebook and it was this young girl. She was about three or four. Yeah.

And the mum was like, hey, I just want to let you know, like Nando's is closing down. And the girl was like, no. And then the mum goes, KFC's also closing down. No. And then she's like, I'm so sorry. I feel the same way. And then she's like, you're going to have to eat mummy's cooking.

And then the girl was like, no! Yeah, right? They tell you to go and get your groceries, but if you don't know what to do with those groceries, far out. I wish I was with my mum right now. She's such a good cook. Let's find out what everyone's having as their last supper. That's what we're going to call it.

What's your last takeaway before they all close down? Bree's having Vietnamese and Italian. I'm having both. Ellie and I are both having Thai. Noah, what are you going to make yours? I'm probably going to have Chinese takeaways. Yeah, nice. Yeah.

Yeah. Any thoughts on freezing some of that for maybe week two of the home state? Nah, I'll just eat it all at once. See how I like that attitude? Chicken chow mein. Yeah. Just eat so much. Nah, I would have had like McDonald's or something,

but today's actually two years since my nana passed away and she lost Chinese takeaways. Oh, perfect then. Do it for your nana. Noah, I don't mean to make light of your situation. What a delicious memorial you're having. Yeah. I know.

Your nana sounds like an absolute legend. And thank goodness that her anniversary is today and not two days away because then you wouldn't be able to have your Chinese takeaway for Nana. Okay, love it. Thank you, mate. I appreciate it. Let's get Amber on. Amber, it's your last chance.

What's your final takeaway going to be for four weeks? Definitely a KFC Zinger Burger. Oh, I love the Zinger Burger. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, and what do you get with it, Anne? Yeah, sure, you're not just getting a Zinger Burger. Are you getting coleslaw or are you getting potato and gravy? What are you getting? The chips or the dinner roll?

Popcorn chicken? Definitely chips with extra seasoning and potato and gravy. Yep. Hell yeah. Yep. Hell yeah. Yeah. And what else? Like, come on, this is... Yeah, you've got to go all out. Wicked wings? Yeah.

Oh, maybe some popcorn chicken. Yeah, good. Maybe a crusher. Yeah. Yeah, keep going. Maybe not schnorr out, maybe the whole menu. Yeah, but you treat yourself, girl. You get the full bucket.

We've got a text from someone here who said they've phoned ahead to their Indian takeaway because tonight they'll be picking up a total of eight curries, eating two for dinner tonight and freezing six. Smart. The local Indian place says that it's genius. And it is genius because if you give them enough warning, they're not going to get overloaded. Yeah. But they need that income now because they're not going to be able to do any business for

four weeks. Buy it now. Do your four weeks worth. We're getting texts from people who have found this segment incredibly unhelpful because now they don't know if they want Indian or Thai. I think the advice is get both. I think today's advice is get both. Today's the day that you literally do not have to feel guilty about getting both.

No. Calories consumed today don't count. No. Don't count. I'm going to go as far as to say calories consumed in isolation don't count. Now I just need an excuse for every other time. What's going on with you at the moment? Where are you? How does your life look at the moment as we prepare for one of the craziest rides

we've ever been on as a country? No, not one of the craziest rides. Yeah, this is going to be obviously, you know, the biggest thing that's going to happen in people's lives over the next however many months. And we all go into lockdown tomorrow night, a minute before midnight, and we will be under those restrictions. So we just want to get, you know, get the message out there, get the chat happening on the show. How are you? Petra's here. You're in Auckland and you live in a camper van.

That is correct. How are you feeling, Petra? Definitely a bit overwhelmed about it all. I'm actually working from home, so I'm invading the parents' office to work from home. I work at a call centre part-time, so that's cool that I can still work at home, but I at a call centre part-time, so that's cool that I can still work at home, but I haven't said goodbye to the van for a while.

So are you going to move in with your parents? Yeah, just for the time being. Yeah, that's smart. Obviously, you'll feel more secure and safe there for now. Yeah, absolutely. Obviously, being in isolation, it's difficult to do that when you're just always on the move as well in the vehicle. And getting in and out. Yeah, exactly is time to go back to a house just for a little while. Time to put down some roots for a minute. Okay, are your parents glad to see you?

Yes and no. They're still just a bit worried about the whole thing. Obviously, being older, they're a bit worried about getting it. Still wanting to sort of isolate themselves a bit more from me as well, obviously, because I'm just traveling all the time. But you won't be traveling for the next four weeks, will you? Yeah, I know. I know.

But they are happy to have me back, for sure. It's a very real situation that you're describing. I'm sort of talking about the same things with my parents at the moment. But it is a weird, it's a weird situation where they're like, hey, we always want you to come over, but if you could just stay downstairs and we'll stay upstairs for a while. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Love you from a distance.

We'll leave you dinner on the stairs type thing. It is a weird thing because obviously people start to, you know, there is people who react in a certain way and then sometimes forget, you know, logic and reasonable human behavior and how you should treat people. Yeah, because there's stress on top of it all. You know, and I get that it's super stressful, but I think we need to remember, you know, that they're taking the right precautions

and you can show people kindness. It doesn't always have to be, you know, with a hug because I know that's the wrong thing to do, but you can show it in different ways and make them feel, you know, like they're okay. Someone just texted us and they said, I've been on home detention for 10 and a half months. Two weeks left.

This is nothing new to me. Well, I've got news for you. You've got four weeks left. Yeah, technically. You've just had two weeks added to your sentence because that's how long we're home for. They'd be used to it, though, by now. Beth's here.

Hey, Beth. Hi, Beth. Hey, how are you? Not too bad. How are you feeling? Whereabouts in New Zealand are you? Oh, I'm in North Canterbury. And yeah, we're all feeling a bit anxious at the moment.

Talk to us. What are you anxious about? Well, like I've stopped work because my kids are off school. So I'm not working because I actually work at a local service station here in North Canterbury. And like our biggest thing that we're trying to find at the moment at work is hand sanitizer. Yeah, right. If I put a call out to anybody out there that is going to be stopping work for a while, any beautician people that have supplies of hand sanitizer, please drop a bottle down to your local server.

Honestly, they need it. I was in a servo yesterday, and you're right, I couldn't, I thought, well, surely there'll be some here because everybody touches the pumps, everybody touches the FBOS machine but yeah, they're in a shortage. I can say, our pumps, we are cleaning our pumps regularly down at my work. I know a lot of us have stopped work, we are down to a bare minimum

team. So, you know, there are a few people out there taking it for the team but carrying on with what we're doing but they need supplies. And Beth, you guys are the ones obviously, you're staying open and we need this stuff, you know. People need to get fuel and people need those things and you guys are putting yourself in harm's way.

The least someone could do is drop in some hand sanitiser just to help out a little bit and hopefully make sure that things are staying as clean as what they possibly can. Yeah, thanks, Beth. That's a good bit of perspective. Let's go to Hamilton. Savannah, hi. Hi. Hi. How are perspective. Let's go to Hamilton. Savannah, hi. Hi.

Hi. How are you? What's going on in the Tron? What's up? It's going okay. It is a bit stressful, but yeah, we're all trying to get through it. Where do you work, Savannah? So I work at Ingham's.

So yeah, we've got to keep working over the next four weeks. Yeah, people need their chicken. Yeah, they need chicken. People need chicken now next four weeks. Yeah, people need their chicken. Yeah, they need chicken. People need chicken now more than ever. You'd be so busy. So you've been deemed an essential service. You'll have to keep going in. Have your work told you how that affects, like,

who you can see outside of work or that sort of thing? No, it's just kind of like you isolate when you go home and then when you come to work, you've just got to keep your distance. They're temperature checking everyone when they come into the site now. Yeah. And like our canteen where we have our smoko breaks, they're all like tinted off with this big black plastic. Right.

And we're not allowed to like sit by someone for too long and there's hand sanitizer and disinfectant everywhere. So they're trying to take as many measures as they can obviously. Because when you're in a chicken factory you would have been quite like hygiene paranoid already. Yeah, but now it's like crippled. Yeah, I bet.

Yeah, okay. But you're safe, you've got somewhere to sleep, your family's okay at the moment, that stuff's under control, Savannah? Yeah, no, it's good. It's just trying to get everything in place, eh, until tomorrow. Yeah, I bet. And obviously get your life sorted before you have to continue to work and stuff. Yeah, it's just keeping mindful of others.

And, like, you are definitely more concerned with germs and touching people and stuff like that. Like, it gets in your head a bit. Yeah. Absolutely. Totally. Okay, hey, thanks, it gets in your head a bit. Yeah. Absolutely. Totally. Okay, hey, thanks, Savannah. Thank you for the call.

Savannah's in Hamilton. To the person who I just laughed at on home detention, they text back and they said, screw you, Clinton, I'm looking forward to getting the bracelet off so that I can go for a walk around the block. Yeah, and guess what? Yep. They'll be coming to visit your house.

No, they won't. Yes, they will. No, they won't. Yeah. No, they won't because they're rehabilitated, Brie. They're rehabilitated. They've done their home detention. Yeah, they're coming over to say hello. Yeah, they won't. Yes, they will. No, they won't. Yeah. No, they won't because they're rehabilitated, Brie. They're rehabilitated. They've done their home detention. Yeah, they're coming over to say hello.

Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, I'm fine. Clint lives in the suburb of... Let's keep our social distance from each other. Brie and Clint. Good to hear from you guys. Please keep your messages coming in. We want to hear from you guys. Kia ora, this is Toby Mann.

Bree and Clint. Grab one now wherever you get your podcasts. Obviously, you know, millions of people around the world currently in quarantine or practising social distancing, which we all need to do our bit, stay at home. You know, you need to get creative with your dating if you're in the dating game. Do you? I think you need to stop dating. No, you don't have to stop dating. I think you 100% have to stop dating

No you don't because dating can be talking to someone, it can be chatting to someone over messenger But dating leads to other things and a need to new, and what if you get desperate As I said before I'm breaking my quarantine, I'm coming over As I said before, it is a good opportunity

to date and get to know someone for at least 4 weeks, maybe longer, without any of the physical stuff, which I think is a really nice thing. Oh, don't be like that. I just... No, convince me. What's your idea?

What's your big idea? It's not all about the physical stuff. What's your big idea for dating in the time of quarantine? No, it's not my big idea. Someone's already had the idea to tackle, you know, the problem of dating whilst in quarantine. It's a guy over in the States and he's posted a video to TikTok where essentially he was in his apartment building and he saw a girl on the rooftop of her apartment building and he thought, oh, she looks really nice. She's cute.

I'm on TikTok. I'm, you know, we've got that in common. How can I, you know, get in touch with this girl? Essentially, he used a drone to contact her. Take a listen. I looked out my window and saw this girl dancing. I needed to say hi to her. So I waved out on the balcony.

She waved back. I grabbed my tape, pen, drone, and paper. Then I wrote down my digits and sealed it on my drone. But since I've been quarantined in my apartment for a week now, I was craving some social interaction. But I still needed to shoot my shot. She picked up my drone, and I guess it worked. It was like I had to check for her an hour later.

So did he send her a drone with his phone number? Yeah. He sent a drone over, and he had his phone number and she'd text him back. Right. All your solutions involve drones today, by the way. I know. Why didn't he just yell his phone number? It was too far.

Right. It was quite far away. So now he's touched the drone with his germy hands and then she's picked it up and touched that drone as well. And they've completely missed the point. Well, she didn't touch the drone. She didn't touch the drone? He landed the drone and then she touched the piece of paper, which could have germs on it.

Yeah, right. Yeah. Back to my original idea? To be honest, back to, no, back to the original, my idea, get back on Tinder and talk to people. My original idea, just stop dating for four weeks. It's easy for you. It's just four weeks.

It's easy for you to say you're married. So? You can talk to someone without being physical, Clint. Yeah, cool. I don't know what was happening in your dating time. Did you go literally, you talk to someone for two seconds, you're like, all right, let's get into bed. No, at least, you know, a long distance, actually.

It was all texting. Exactly. Bree and Clint. Play the Instafame game. No, let's play the Instafame game Oh my god I heard she bought all her followers She would she's such a bitch It's time for Brie and Clint's Instafame game

Julian Dennison has $157,000. That's a game to Clint. Let's give Julian Dennison some more Instagram followers. He was in Deadpool.

What more do you want from him? Good, that's the Instafame game. Obviously, people, you know, are staying at home. They're spending lots of time with their partners and in bed, on the couch, home office, wherever you're spending time.

It's the ultimate staycation if you want to reframe it. Absolutely. And a conversation that came up in my relationship the other night was what is appropriate to eat in bed and what's not appropriate? When it comes to food. When it comes to food. Definitely about food. And it started because at 10.30 at night, I decided because I went out and did my weekly shop and I brought into the room, into the bed, a bowl of cereal. Why did you do your weekly shop at 10.30 at night?

No, I'd done the weekly shop on the weekend. Oh, okay. And I had heaps, like, you know, heaps of food. You know when you do your weekly shop and you've got everything? Yeah. And I was like, oh, what do I feel like at 10.30? Yeah, the world is your oyster. Yeah, exactly.

Directly after shopping, you've never felt more rich. There's two times when you feel the richest, when you get paid, like immediately after you get paid, and immediately after you get home from a full supermarket shop. Absolutely. So I did my weekly shop and I thought cereal for bedtime eating, I think, was a good choice. Random choice. No, it's not.

What sort of cereal? My all-time favourite cereal, Nutri-Grain. It's delicious. 10.30 on a Sunday night. You think it's an appropriate favourite cereal, Nutri-Grain. It's delicious. 10.30 on a Sunday night. You think it's an appropriate time to have Nutri-Grain in bed? Yes, I think it's perfectly fine. Ellie, what? Ellie's trying to come in here.

I think Ellie's on my side. What's going on? Oh, I love a bit of cereal in bed. Oh, see? You too. Yeah. It's not Nutri-Grain that's so much the issue here. Cereal's not a bed food.

Absolutely it is. Oh, I enjoy it. No, it's not a bed food. It's pretty wellri-Grain that's so much the issue here. Cereal's not a beard food. Absolutely it is. Oh, I enjoy it. No, it's not a beard food. It's pretty well contained in a bowl. I mean, I wouldn't recommend taking it and just eating it out of the box because that can get quite messy. It's too milky. On a risk-reward graph, the risk is too high versus the reward.

The reward's very high. It's just cereal. The reward's very good because do you know what else? Milk is white. Most often, what else? Milk is white. Most often, what colour are sheets? White. Exactly. Not my sheets, but milk is smelly.

Like if it comes out. It comes out easily. Yeah, sure, right. It's not staining anything, is it? Cereal's not. You're talking about the reward of eating cereal. Cereal is just shit breakfast. No, cereal's delicious. Especially after dinner.

Cereal, no. I know we're going into quarantine and we've got to eat what we've got to eat. And don't worry, I will happily eat a humble bowl of cereal when I need to. But if I was given the option of toast or eggs. Don't get me started on hot wheat-a-becks. Oh, yes. I do love a hot wheat-y. Love a hot wheat-becks.

Hot wheat-becks is good. But that's not in the cold bowl of cereal category. Sultana brand. Hot cornflakes. Do you know what else I've been eating? The cookies and cream chicks. Quite an odd one, but very delicious. Okay, that's just next level for you.

Have you guys seen the Snickers pod cereal? They need to just calm their farm with those. I swear to God, Snickers pod cereal is just Snickers Pods in a bowl. It is a pretty sure, isn't it? And you put milk on it. I haven't seen a difference between the regular Snickers Pods and cereal Snickers Pods. No, Nutri-Grain's like the right level of everything.

It's a good balance. It's Iron Man food. Yeah, it is. Yes. But anyway, I think cereal, and Ellie's with me, definitely appropriate for bed. Okay, what food do you think is inappropriate for bed? I'm just trying to get a read on where your head is at.

Anything that's quite, like, might cause a big stain. Do you know what's a dangerous thing to have in bed? And it sounds like you probably want to have one, is a cup of tea. One night, I got knocked out of my hand, and I had boiling water all over me and all through my bed. Wasn't great. You're so wrong.

I know that sounds contradictory. You're so wrong because a cup of tea is a bed drink. You bring someone breakfast in bed, they have a cup of tea. So then why is cereal not? If it's to do with the liquid. It's milk. Because the cup of tea goes, I don't know the logic, I'm working this out as we go. The cup of tea goes directly to your mouth.

There's no intermediary. With a bowl of cereal, you've got to spoon it out of the bowl and transport it to your mouth. Not the way I eat it. If you hold the bowl nice and close to your face and you just shovel it in. Yep, right. That's how you eat it.

I think we need to stop, and I think we need some perspective on this. You know what is a big no from me for bedtime food? I'll just give one example. It's a butter chicken. Yeah, okay. Can we all agree that curry is not a bed food? Curry is not.

I definitely had a curry in my bed last night. Yeah, but do you think it's safe? I mean, it's not too safe to be fair. It causes a lot of stains. Anything with crumbs is not ideal either, you know? Like biscuits. Yeah, one of those muesli bars isn't safe. I quite enjoy a cheese board with crackers on the bed.

Oh, okay. Yeah. Like if we're watching a movie on the laptop, I don't mind that. No. Or not in the bed, on the bed. Who are you, Mr. Monopoly? Do you have a monocle? Oh, darling, go get the cheese board for the bed.

Okay, all right, all right. Excuse me. Most normal people have a packet of chips. Not Clint. Go get the camembert and the blue. I'm just going to go wheel of cheese and some crackers and maybe some hummus. Can you get the smoked salmon for the cheese ball for the bed for Netflix and chill? Smoked salmon is not a bed food, okay?

We're not going to agree on this, so let's open the phone lines. Yeah, let's open them up. What is and isn't okay to eat in the bed? You need to come through with one of each for us. Yeah, one of each. What's appropriate and what's inappropriate food to eat in the bed? We need this information because that's where we live now. Exactly.

In our beds. Bree and Clint. Welcome to a very heated discussion about what's appropriate and inappropriate bed food. Yeah, this is the, I guess, argument or discussion that went down in my relationship on Sunday night when I bought a bowl of cereal to bed. It's also the conversation we've decided is most urgent currently with the situation that New Zealand is facing. And people are under so much stress, we've decided that you need to know,

if you're going to be housebound, what you can and can't eat in the bed. We need to cover these rules and cover them now. We've already discussed, Producer Ellie and I think cereal, great bedtime food. Yeah, I've been outweighed 2-1 on that conversation. Largely, has the correspondence been in favour of you guys as well?

Yeah, a lot of people saying cereal's great. Fine, I'll give in. I'll give in. I don't agree, but I'll give in. That's fine. We'll put fricking cereal in the appropriate bed food column. It is. It's the best.

You made the suggestion of a cheese board in the bed. On bed. On bed. On the bed. Like if you're having a little picnic and you're watching some Netflix, cheese board and a glass of wine, yummy. Hey, Clint, ask Pip.

She might have you back here. I'm thinking that Pip might have you back. Pip, you got my back girl? I certainly have. Me and my partner are both with you Clint. We love a cheeky sausage

and a cheese board and bed. Isn't it lovely? It's like a picnic. It's like you're sitting beside the Eiffel Tower but you've gone nowhere. You're in bed.

No, it's great. With Netflix on and you get your cracker and your cheese and a little bit of a sausage and hummus. It's like you're sitting beside the Eiffel Tower, but you've gone nowhere. You're in bed. No, it's great. With Netflix on and you get your cracker and your cheese and a little bit of a sausage and hummus. Pip, I need to ask, on your cheese board in bed, do you include blue cheese and or salmon? Oh, no. Maybe salmon, but not blue cheese. See, that's risky.

I'd include blue cheese, but I'm not taking salmon to the bed. Pip, let's just go with you agree with me. Thank you. Do you have an inappropriate... Fanciest. Thank you. Do you have an inappropriate... Fanciest bed food ever. Do you have an inappropriate bed food for us? I have to say steak, I think, especially if you do it medium rare. You know, all the juices running the place.

It is hard to cut, isn't it? Can we say anything that requires a knife and fork is an appropriate bed food? No, I don't know. Okay, all right. Can't rule everything out. Thank you for your input. Pip, let's go to Rob. Hey, Rob. G'day, Rob. Hey, how you going? Good. What do you think is an

appropriate bed food, Rob? Chocolate. Chocolate is an appropriate bed food. We can all agree on that. Although, if it does get lost in the bed, it can look like something else that you don't want in the bed. And you can't blame the baby for it. Yeah, yeah.

But if you had had chocolate the night before and you see that stain... You can blame it on that. No, I'd be tempted, this is where things get really tricky with chocolate in the bed. Someone go, is that poo?

And you go, no, I'm pretty sure it's chocolate. And then you go down and you lick it. You have to commit. And you commit. And then what if it's not chocolate? Yeah, that's happened to me before. Has it really? Yeah, it ended up being to commit. And you commit. And then what if it's not chocolate? Yeah, that's happened to me before. Has it really? Yeah, it ended up

being the chocolate. Oh. Yeah. I was going to say, are you admitting to licking a post-it? No, it was at a hotel and I took the risk and I was like, no, I'm pretty sure that's like the chocolate they leave on your pillow. Rob, have you ever licked a post-it? Actually, no. So you've given us an appropriate, what's your inappropriate bed food?

A cup of tea. Got to have a cup of tea in bed. So wait. Yeah, I agree you have to. That's another appropriate. So two appropriates. Oh, an inappropriate. Yeah. Ooh.

What are your thoughts? A bag of chips, I think. A bag of chips? No, a bag of chips is fundamental. No, that's a... Yeah, because then you get itchies on the back, you know? Itchies on the back. Yeah, yeah. No, there's logic... Yeah, because then you get itchies on the back, you know? Itchies on the back. Yeah, yeah.

No, there's logic in what you're saying, Rob. I just think that we disagree with you. Rob, what are your thoughts on eating pizza in the bed? Yeah, I agree on that. Yeah, I think pizza's a good one. Okay, thanks, Rob, for your input. Goes from the box straight to the mouth. Yeah, you just need a good paper towel.

If you just tuned in, that sounded wrong. There's a lot of things that could be determined like that in the bed. Finally, we'll go to Melissa. You need to give us one food that's okay and one food that's not okay to eat in the bed. Okay, so definitely okay in the bed is McDonald's at 3 a.m. after a few wines. Absolutely.

Yeah, absolutely correct. Especially nuggets. Nuggets go well. And you're being responsible there. You're not drinking and frying. So yeah, we can put... In fact, we're going to go as far as to say McDonald's in the bed at any time is fine. I think any time, especially breakfast time is very good when you're hungover.

Uber Eats breakfast time. God, we're going to miss that for the next four weeks. Okay, and what is inappropriate bed food, Melissa? Spaghetti on toast. Oh, yeah. Risky. That's just slimy. Yeah. And so orange.

Spag bowl has been sent through as something that can't be eaten in the bed. Speaking of slimy and orange. As an Italian, I would say it's probably the one thing where I can say yeah, I agree on that. Can we, and Melissa, you can be the deciding vote here because Ali's busy. Can we just all agree that fish is not okay in bed?

I think any seafood. Any seafood? No. No to seafood? It's a risk. No. Actually, let's go to our Hi there. Hi. Our resident curry bed eater. Fish in bed?

Oh, yeah, maybe not. Depends what you're talking about. Someone had to say it, didn't they? Yep. It was going there. Heyo! Bree and Clint. Hey. It's my birthday.

It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. All right, this is something we do every day at this time and we take your calls, we figure out what was the number one song on people's 16th birthdays and then we pick the best one to play. Also a good chance for us to check in with you guys and see how you're going. Rob, how are you, mate? How's things with you right now? Hello, Rob. Not bad. I just spoke to you guys just before about the cup of tea and the chocolate.

Chocolate man. I love it. Jeez, welcome back. You can't call people chocolate man. Why not? I don't mind you calling me chocolate man. That's fine. I don't love only chocolate man.

Okay, Rob, what's your birthday? 31st of May, 1984. All right, Rob. You were 16 in the year 2000 on the 31st of May, and this is your birthday banger. You've got it. He performed at ZM's Friday Jams Live this year. I feel like that suits you, Rob, for some reason.

Daniel, hi. G'day, Dan. Hey, how's it going? Good. How are you, Dan? Whereabouts are you in New Zealand? In Palmerston North. I've just got my six-year-old with me in the car,

and she's freaking out because she doesn't believe we're on the radio. What's your six-year-old's name? Maisie. Maisie. Hello from-old's name? Maisie. Maisie. Hello from Breein Clinton. Hey, Maisie. Your dad's on the radio right now. Problem is you've had to turn down the radio to talk to us so she probably still won't believe you. Yeah, yeah. Still pretty sceptical. Let's do your

birthday banger and then if that wins she'll have to believe you. What's your birthday? 24th October 1986. Right, you were 16 in 2002 on the 24th of October. And Daniel and Maisie, this is your dad's birthday banger. You don't know what you mean to me. Oh, good. Good.

That is good. Great collab. Great collab. Nelly and Kelly. And Kelly. Yeah. Dilemma. A bit Nelly and Kelly. Nelly and Kelly. Yeah. Dilemma. A bit Maisie's never heard the song, Daniel.

How are you feeling, Cara? Not too shabby. Yeah, not too bad. Where about CNNZ are you? I'm in the Manawati. Oh, yeah, nice. Keeping safe there? Yeah.

Okay, good. Let's do your birthday banger. 19th of August, 84. Right, you were 16 in the year 2000 on the 19th of August. And in the year 2000, this also had a number one hit. Now, Cara, so you're aware, I once voted against the song and birthday banger. And we've never been friends since. Yeah, and it nearly tore Bree and I apart. How do you feel about Anastasia as your birthday banger?

Oh, she did a pretty good job on the Super Bowl, so... You know what's interesting is Anastasia actually... Oh, wait, it wasn't even her. Yeah, what did you say? She did well on the what? Nah, it's all good. I was thinking about Shakira, not her. Oh, the Super Bowl.

Yeah, she did well. Shakira did do well at the Super Bowl. You know Anastasia just released a song based on this song, I'm Outta Love, but it's called I'm Out of Dove. Soap. That's what she just released yesterday. I can't figure out if this is real and sad or a joke that you're making and also sad.

No, it's not. I'm not making a joke. She released it. It's gone absolutely, like, crazy. People are sharing it. Is it for the COVID-19 crisis? Yes, yes. It's a bit of lighthearted. I'm out of dove? Yeah19 crisis? Yes, yes. It's a bit of lighthearted.

Yeah, I'm out of time. It's a bit of lightheartedness from Anastasia. Let's do it. I know you want that song. Absolutely. And I know Cara wants it. It's no Shakira, but it's still pretty good, eh, Cara? Yeah.

Yeah, there we go. This is the winner of Birthday Mega today. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm out of dubs now baby come on don't claim that love you never let me feel i should have known Cause you brought nothing real Come on, be a man about it You won't die

I've found that I'm Outta Dove song, by the way. You thought I was making some horrific joke. I thought it was a real bad dad joke for you. To be honest, that's fair enough. It probably would be a joke that I would make. But, yeah, I saw yesterday. I think she released it yesterday. This is her on Twitter.

It's a parody song, right? My computer is not having a great time today, but let's see if it will support us at the moment. So here she is. I'm out of dirt. I can't get clean. I'm at home in quarantine. Could be three days, God forbid a month, and my nose can't handle me. I'm out of dove. Can't get clean. I'm at home in quarantine I might have done

She is I've got to give it to her. An icon. I've got to give it to her. Absolute yes from me. You're going to Hollywood. Bree and Clint. Our new segment, Cup of Tea and a Biscuit.

Cup of Tea and a Biscuit, which is just a bit of a sit down and a chat. Think about when you have a cup of Tea and a Biscuit. Cup of Tea and a Biscuit, which is just a bit of a sit down and a chat. Think about when you have a cup of tea and a biscuit with a family member or a friend. Love having a good chat over a cup of tea and a biscuit. Full disclosure, we do have our cups of tea. No biscuit though. But no biscuits. Ellie, you know the segment name, don't you?

Producer Ellie, obviously Ben's not here to get our biscuits. Yeah, sorry team, we're without biscuits today. here to get our biscuits. Yeah, sorry team. We're without biscuits today. We ate all the biscuits. Yeah, no, that's exactly right. Not my fault. Can you today, can you please go and panic buy us some biscuits for us? Yeah, sure.

Can't wait to. That's not funny. I'm worried that we're not going to have a biscuit for our new segment, Cumbertie and a Biscuit. One pack of biscuits would be fine. Going forward, the idea... No, one pack? They'll get us through one week. If they're Mellow Puffs, they'll get us through

one day. The idea of Cup of Tea and a Biscuit is we're going to do it every day at a certain time or when it's appropriate and we'll invite you to make a cup of tea. We'll give you some warning next time. You can make a cup of tea and have a cup of tea and a biscuit with us. And today we want to talk a little bit about what's going on.

Yeah, just talk about, it was weird for me. Yesterday was a very full-on day for, I think, everyone, especially here in New Zealand. Obviously around the world there's all stuff going on. But here in New Zealand you could feel, I guess, the heaviness of that announcement that Jacinda made yesterday, which I think is the right thing. It just got way too real too fast.

It did. And, I mean, we felt it in here yesterday. And when I got home from work last night, I sat in the car for about nearly an hour, I think, just thinking about, you know. Decompressing, yeah. Yeah, just in kind of gathering my thoughts. And the one thing that I just kept coming back to

that I think was the most important thing that I got out of yesterday was how important it is to communicate and talk to your loved ones and your friends at a time like this. Yeah. Because I think above all else, you know, obviously people are scared, people are anxious, people are worried and everyone's got their own things going on. But, you know, mental health in times like this where things are so overwhelming is such an important thing to remember that we need to be there for people to support each other.

Yeah. It's going to get put under immense pressure, people's mental health. Absolutely. And people who have a history of mental health problems, like this is going to add fuel to the fire. Yeah. But there are things that we can do. Absolutely. There are things we can do in these situations,

which include, like you said, calling on your support network. Calling on people and just opening that communication line, you know. And you're probably going to have to do it digitally at the moment. Yeah, and I think I was talking to you and Ellie earlier, I think it's super important, especially with self-isolating, which I think is above all else the most important thing right now. But I think there's people who maybe live by themselves or they might be, you know, parents that don't have any other adults

and they have to be looking after kids for the next however many weeks. Yeah. I think it's important that you, even if it's a routine thing where you FaceTime a loved one or someone that you can talk to and talk about how you're feeling and what's going on, you know. Or an elderly neighbour, something like that, you can reach out and do. This is if your situation is good,

which, by the way, helping someone else will make you feel better as well in this situation. Yeah, because you get to talk about what's going on as well. There's a real risk in this situation that we're going into where it is so heightened and it's so intense that some people begin to feel like they are a burden and that their health, like people have to go out of their way so much

to protect a certain person's health and that they are a burden and things would be better if they weren't here in this situation, which is absolutely not true. There's no point in getting through this if we don't all get through it together. So if anybody that you know, or maybe you're having that thought at the moment, just know that that is a thought brought on by this situation and it will pass. And it's not the truth. And there's people out here who care about you and there's people to talk to.

We're going to be here. We're going to be here every afternoon on weekdays. You can call us anytime. There's a text message. You can text us on 9696 anytime. I think it's also important. I was talking to one of the girls here in the office. I said, you need to remember that sometimes you just need to

shut off the media. Yeah. Because I know, obviously. It's overwhelming. Yeah, it is overwhelming. And I know that we need information and we need to know what's going on. But sometimes get the information and then turn it off. Even us. There's only so much of us. Absolutely. Sometimes we're annoying as hell.

This is the big one, okay? Remember that right throughout this, the free number is still available. If you need to talk to someone at any time, you can call 1737. Yeah. That's 1737. It's a 24-hour phone number.

It's free. It may be put under some pressure in the coming weeks. So if it doesn't connect straight away, you've got to keep trying. That's the deal, all right? You keep trying on that phone number. Absolutely. And also, reach out to your loved ones,

reach out to friends, reach out to family. Show love and show kindness to people in hard times. Also, if you're having a cup of tea and a biscuit, don't forget the biscuits. Yeah, the biscuits are very important. Bree and Clint. Tomorrow night at midnight, New Zealand goes

into lockdown. For the first time in our living history, right? There's never been a time when we've had to do this before, ever. It's like people have been saying, unprecedented times. It's what I imagine England was like during World War II, during the air raids and stuff like that. I can't even imagine.

Whatever it is, we're going to get through it together and we're going to be okay. You will be hopefully, unless you live by yourself, which is a real situation as well, but there's a high chance that if you have a partner, you guys are going to be in lockdown together. Yeah, which is, I mean, not really normal life. No.

Relationships, is it? No. Whether you live together or not, spending that much time together is not natural. The only other time that you would really spend that much time together, now listen to me, is when you go on holidays together. Yes, yes. And let's all be real, we've all had a blow up on a holiday before with a partner. A hundred percent.

And on a holiday, you've got things to distract you like sightseeing and eating at new restaurants. One person can go, you know, down to the buffet by themselves for a couple, you've got things to distract you like sightseeing and eating at new restaurants. One person can go, you know, down to the buffet by themselves for a couple of hours if they want to. Yeah. You're not going to have that. So here's some scenarios that you guys need to be aware of. Okay. I know Fletch, Vaughan and Megan talked about this at the moment.

Imagine that you guys break up during lockdown. What a nightmare. What do you do? What do you do? You guys live together and then for whatever reason, maybe your relationship currently is lurching towards an end. Like, you know how these things sometimes have their natural life cycle and you can tell in your gut?

Yeah, that is a horrible situation. Like, what do you do? Do you pull the ripcord tonight so that you're not stuck together from tomorrow? Yes, there are going to be heaps of breakups tonight. I feel like if you had to transfer houses to go to your parents' place and you were intercepted by the police during this lockdown,

they're like, Oi, why are you out? You could go, I just broke up with my boyfriend and I'm going to my parents' house. That'd be like, fair enough. I don't understand, eh?

Fair enough. That's a scenario, that's a pretty bad one, right? Yeah. What about this one? What about, imagine those people who have decided last week or whatever in the last couple of months have decided,

you and I are getting serious, let's move in together. Yeah. And they just moved in together this weekend, just gone. And then on Monday, Jacinda's announced that we're at level three and moving to level four. And all of a sudden you're going to go from not living together to living together 100% of the time. What, you go from nothing to everything overnight.

I think if there's any time to do that, it's when you first move in together because it's all fun and exciting. Because you're in the honeymoon period. Yeah. Right. It'd be, I think, worse later on. Yeah. You just annoy the shit out of each other.

True. Okay. Yeah. Maybe things are fresh enough you're not sick of each other. Ellie, would you agree with that? Is that where you see this as well? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then in four weeks

you get to have a break. Okay, how about this? This is a bad scenario again. Imagine that you are someone who is having an affair. Ooh. Or has cheated on their partner recently and then you guys go into lockdown together

and you have to live together, can you imagine how closely you're going to be watching your phone 24-7 to see if that other person is texting you or calling you or checking in with you while you're in quarantine? Your bit on the side knows that you're with your actual partner 24-7. Imagine how stressed out those people are going to be. What if the person that you're having the affair with didn't think you were with someone?

Yep. And then they're obviously going to want attention 24-7 or they're going to be like, why wouldn't you come quarantine with me? You didn't tell them that you were in another relationship, your main relationship. See, these are the things that are going to get flushed out. And then we move you back up to level one of this conversation

where you have to imagine going through a breakup. Like imagine you find out that your partner's cheating on you while you guys are in lockdown together. Not ideal. And the last one I've got doesn't actually involve relationships at all. Well, it does, but not like romantic relationships. Yeah. Imagine you live in a flat with people that you don't like.

Imagine you don't get on with your flatmates and now your flatmates are now not just your flatmates, they're your workmates. Yeah, that sucks. Because you guys have to work at the dinner table together every day and you have to see each other 24-7 for four weeks. Yeah, damn, that's the situation I'm in. No, I'm just kidding.

Anyway, maybe those situations have spooked you a bit or maybe they've just given you some perspective and gone, man, I'm sweet. I'm not in any of those categories. Unless your partner's cheating on you and you don't know about it yet. Yeah, but it's coming.
