Hi everybody, welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast. On the last day that New Zealanders are able to move freely about the community for the next minimum four weeks. We're going into lockdown here in New Zealand because of COVID-19. And from tomorrow... Yeah, that's the emergency bell. No, this is the snack bell. LA, I want snacks! Oh, shit. Get that woman want snacks! Oh, shit.

Get that woman some snacks or she shuts up. It's loud, isn't it? Is that a school bell? Yeah, it is. Well, it would have been at one stage, yeah. We had that sort of bell at our school. Yeah, we had this bell at our school too. Question for you guys.

Because we grew up in the 1900s. Did you guys have the cane at your school? No. You didn't 1900s. Did you guys have the cane at your school? No. You didn't? No. Where did you? Well, my dad went to the same primary school as me, and he said that they used to get the cane.

Oh, yeah, in the 60s. Yeah, back in the 60s. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they actually still had the cane at school. It didn't get used on anyone, but they still had it there. Oh, it was like decorative. Yeah, it was decorative. You could win it at swimming sports. Pretty much. And I'd be decorative. Yeah, it's decorative. You could win it at swimming sports.

Pretty much. And I'd be like, oh, that's probably hit my dad's bottom at some point. You caned the opposition this week, so you win the cane. Is that weird that I went to the same primary school as my dad? It's a very small town. Yeah. No, there's heaps of schools. That's quite cute.

Yeah, but it's like a small town thing to have happen, right? Right, yeah. But my primary school, I only had three people in my grade. What? What? Are you right? Oh, you didn't know that? You're trying to convince us that it's this big thing.

You're like, no, there's heaps of schools. Three people? What did you do? We need to give them to peers. So, no, no, no. Four, including me. Oh. So peers are fine.

Yeah, so it was fine for us. I was going to say, what about when you have to form two orderly lines? But not this other girl who was in grade one when we were in grade three. She had one in her grade. It was just her. Ducks. That was it. Yeah, she got the ducks of the grade.

Sports award. She always got every award. House captain. Head girl. So I think from grade one to grade seven is what the primary school, like they were the grades. And at one point we had, I think, 28 kids across all the grades. Oh.

Right. Wow. Now that I think about it, I always thought I was really good at sports, but not that hard to be good at sports at school, that being. Also, no wonder your, you know, sexual awakening didn't come until later in life. You had no one to choose from. I had all the boys in my grade.

Yeah, I know, but how many was that? 12 total? Boys? Oh, yeah. There was more boys than girls, I think. You would have gone, I'm not attracted to any of these people. There's just not a big enough sample size for you to figure out what you're into. There wasn't many kids.

My high school was normal. I went to the local high school in town and there was like 150 in my grade oh yeah oh yeah but there was there's a lot of little time that's where she really got down to business hey question before we go have you guys started watching that new series on netflix called tiger king no no it looked amazing though holy shit. Do yourself a favor. Is it good? It is hectic. We can't watch it because Lucy doesn't want to watch anything where animals are mistreated. They're not being mistreated.

Well, depends. I saw a lion being driven around in a convertible on the trailer. Yeah, depends. I mean, it could be upsetting. But, I mean, there's no one killing any animals. But, yeah, definitely I don't think they... It looks freaking insane. It is so interesting.

She'll come around. We'll watch it. Yeah, you should watch it. So there's these two people who own exotic animal farms in the US, and one guy, he's named himself Joe Exotic. Yeah, it's good. And anyway, he's in a battle with this other woman, and then there's all this backstory where her husband's gone missing,

and they think that she killed him and fed him to the tigers and it's hectic. You guys need to watch it. I'll chuck one in there. Everyone should have watched this by now but we hadn't. You guys might have. Fleabag.

Oh, I've watched it. I've heard of it but I haven't watched it, no. I watched it on a plane once. It's freaking unbelievable. I've heard this. If you like haven't watched it. I watched it on a plane once. It's freaking unbelievable. I've heard this. If you like a show, she self-narrates and she looks at the camera. It's quite an interesting... It's very British in that sense. But have you ever watched the show Peep Show?

Have anyone watched Peep Show? It's very similar to Peep Show. She breaks the fourth wall constantly. Which I don't love. I think it's okay, but I just find it strange. How much did you watch? I watched a whole first season. Oh, yeah.

I've only watched one episode. Yeah. I did watch the whole season of Stranger. The Stranger. Oh, how good. Yeah. How good. I can't believe how much stuff was going on.

If you haven't watched it. There's so much to keep up with. There's so much. Who did you watch it with? Sophia. Have you guys had like a debrief so you try and stitch all the storylines together

yes and you work out together that's why he did this and they did this and then that person was there and both of us were just so confused it took us ages to figure it out have you watched the

I just nailed that shot by the way oh nice I just LeBron full Kobe'd some rubbish into the bin RIP have you watched The Stranger Ellie

no I haven't I'm very curious now. I reckon they've set it up for a season two as well. Yeah, like Broadchurch. The way it ends, it's ready for another one. The second season two is never as good as the first season on those shows. I know. Someone also mentioned, was it yesterday?

I can't remember. If you haven't seen it, Feel Good is a new series on Netflix as well. Feel Good. And it's uh very good tackles mental health lgbt um all that kind of stuff and she's a stand-up comedian in the show it's quite interesting um two from two by the way come on go go three from three no i don't want to push my luck okay no okay i'll do it i don't know now i gotta recreate the same so because by way, I'm throwing rubbish in the bin

because while we're recording this podcast intro, we have to sanitise the studio at the end of every show. Very important. Because of COVID-19. So I'm throwing my dirty tissues into the bin. All right, what's it worth to you, Bree, this shot? A dinner when this whole thing is over. And if I miss, I buy you dinner.

Okay, good deal. Damn it! Yes! All right, I hope you like fish and chips. Enjoy the podcast, everybody. I've got to go. Bree's got to go. Ellie's got to go.

See you tomorrow. We'll be back. Ben, you're not here, but we're thinking of you. See you guys. Bye. Hey, Google, what's the time? It's 3 p.m. Give or take a minute.

Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio play Zedim on iHeartRadio. Playing Zedim on iHeartRadio. Hey Siri, Winner Bree and Clint on. Bree and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Hey everybody, yeah, we're here, we're here. It's okay, we're here, don't worry, we're here, we're on, we're live. G'day guys, not long till midnight tonight. No.

So obviously, hopefully you're getting your preparations done so you don't have to leave the house. We should get a timer going. No. Countdown timer. No. Like New Year's Eve. You and I talked about going and buying some beers on the way home.

Yes. Which we can still do after this, by the way. Well, I can't because they don't sell beer at the supermarket in West Auckland, just like Invercargill. But, you know, just as a little, it'd be nice to have a little isolation party tonight, I feel. It would be nice to have a few beers. This is how we're going to get through this,

is by turning shitty situations into fun situations. So this is what I think should happen tonight at midnight. Fireworks. Yeah, fireworks. Like New Year's Eve. There should be a fireworks display put on to celebrate the start of Level 4. I know this is a serious situation, okay, and that's why I'm suggesting this.

I just think we have fireworks. And then Dave Dobbin could play via live stream, obviously. Yeah, on the live stream everyone could tune into that. Yeah. I was talking to my... And then no kissing because you know. Unless you're in isolation together. Yeah. I was talking to my flatmate

Annabelle. It's her birthday, I think next week. Yes. And she was like, well, what are we going to do for my birthday? Because it's only going to be us. You're going to have a party. And I said, why don't we have a massive live stream party where all your friends can join in.

They can all have drinks from where they are. Yeah, great idea. We can play some on live stream games. Yeah. It'd be fun. Yeah, and there's ways to make this thing interesting. And you will learn ways over this time because you'll have to because it's the only choice we have at the moment.

What we're going to do is continue to do this show and try and bring you some entertainment each day. Something we have started doing is our daily morale boosting request where you guys tell us the best song for right now and then we pick one of them and we play them on the radio. Pretty simple. We think music can pick up the mood and if you have a song that does that for you,

you can text us now, 9696. Tell us what song you want to hear to give you a bit of a boost. Yeah, if there's a particular reason why that song is a good option today, please include that in the text message. Yep. And feel free to chuck your name on it too

because if we play yours, we'd love to give you a shout out for it. What is the perfect song to pick up the mood right now? Text us on 9696. Brian Clint, this is 660. It's the greatest song to pick up the mood right now. Text us on 9696. Bree and Clint, this is 660. It's the greatest on ZM. Bree and Clint. We're looking for a morale-boosting request to play on the show each day.

You know, a track that we can all get around and go, yeah, things are stressful, things are shit at the moment, but hey, this song for three and a half minutes will make us feel good. Yeah, sometimes it just takes you out of reality. That's why I love music. And you just kind of, you know, just black out and be in the moment. Just lose yourself. Yeah, lose yourself was an option.

Well, it was an option for Birthday Banger yesterday. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, lose yourself is an option. Here's what you guys have suggested, the songs that we should play. This one has come in three days in a row from the Babysitter's Circus, Everything's Gonna Be Alright.

Which has a very good message. Right now, it has a very good message for what's going on. As does this Bee Gees option. Yeah. Yeah She loves that She loves the Bee Gees You know they grew up In Queensland In Redcliffe

The Bee Gees did Yeah Damn I wonder if they Support the Brisbane Broncos I probably do Are we playing Whitney Houston Love Whitney on this show.

Oh, it straight away just does something to my mood. Right, it picks you up. Absolutely. Are we playing Rascal Flat's In Life Is A Highway? In Life Is A Highway I wanna ride it all night long Could be fun. Great song.

Every day someone texts in Darude Sandstorm. Much like Whitney Houston, it just picks you up and gets you going, right? Different reasons, I think. Is this the right song for right now? It was a contender yesterday. It's come through again today. ACDC. Aka Daka.

You just think about that band and how iconic they were. There's no one else like them. Yep. Is this the mood for today? Or is the most topical song suggestion today the right one to do? We are on the final countdown to a full lockdown. However, we've selected this song for Birthday Banger before and apart from the chorus, the song mostly sucks.

Yeah, it's not the best song. So what are we going to play? Of all those songs, what's the right song to play? Is it Whitney Houston? That's what I got the feeling for. It's what gave us the biggest rise, right? I feel like that will do it for people. Can you see who suggested this? See if the person's put their name on the text message.

Down here, give me two seconds. You just pad for some time. Whitney Houston, of course, came to fame in the movie The Bodyguard. Damn it. Oh, here we go. She is well. No, there you go. I found it.

Whitney Houston, a suggestion from Stephen. Stephen. Thank you, Steve. Congratulations, mate. And thank you. You've offered us our morale boost for the afternoon. This is great. I love this.

Bree and Clint. Yeah. Here's Whitney on at him. Woo! I won't let it go The clock strikes upon the hour And the sun begins to fade Still enough time to figure out How to chase my blues away I'm gonna light up till now It's the light of day

that shows me how And when the night falls, the loneliness comes Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat with somebody

Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody With somebody who loves me Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat with somebody Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody With somebody who loves me I've been in love and lost my senses Sitting through the town

Sooner or later the fever ends And I wind up feeling down I need a man who'll take a chance On a love that burns hot enough to last So when the night falls My lonely heart calls Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat with somebody

Yeah, I want to dance with somebody With somebody who loves me Oh, I want to dance with somebody I want to feel the heat Yeah, I want to feel the heat Yeah, I'm a dancer With somebody With somebody who loves me Somebody who, somebody who

Don't you wanna dance Don't you wanna dance, say you wanna dance Don't you wanna dance Don't you wanna dance, say you wanna dance With somebody who loves me ZM, Brian Clint. How's your morale? Has it been boosted?

That was the idea of playing that song. Whitney Houston, I Want to Dance with Somebody. Today suggested by Stephen. Thank you, Stephen. Thanks, Steve. You know what Bear Grylls always suggest to boost your morale? Oh, I have heard this. Gut a camel, climb inside, find its bladder and drink its urine?

No. Oh. He always suggests eating something that, like, makes you, like, happy. Oh, yes. And I know what makes him happy. Camel testicles. No, his own urine. Oh.

You were close. Right, right, right. Does he solidify it, make, like, a gelatin out of it? Maybe. I love that show. Yeah. I thought it was so good. Do you reckon it's real?

It got in a bit of trouble because I think there were elements that he had helped with. Like they might chopper him to a new location. Right. I think largely it was real. Yeah. Like all the stuff he ate was real. He's actually very posh. Did you know that?

He's like proper high society English schooling guy. But he was a marine, wasn't he? Yeah. I think so. The part of the show where I was kind of like this is next level is where he killed a snake

and then he skinned it. Yeah. And he was in the desert and he was like, you know, the biggest obviously like threat in the desert is, you know, dehydration. So if you've got a snake

and you need to wee, you wee into the snake skin. Yeah. And then you tie it off. And then he was carrying this snake full of wee around his neck. Why? So we could drink it later. Oh, like a disgusting camelback.

Yeah, like a real weird ice block. Right. Well, if anyone's prepared for the coming situation, it's Bear Grylls. Yeah, right. We get to day two of isolation and he's in the backyard ready to eat the cat. And his wife's like, Bear! Stop it. Stop it, Bear.

Get inside and have a piece of toast. Bear Grylls, great show to watch in isolation. It hasn't even started yet and we're already going Betty. I know. Bree and Clint. We're huge advocates on this show for board games during isolation, right?

I have always been a board game person. Have you? No. Oh, sick, sick. If I'm at the batch, like if I'm away on the holiday

and I've watched all the Instagram stories and there's times. When you get into it, it's fun and I think this all the Instagram stories, and there's times. When you get into it, it's fun, and I think this is the time. Right. This is the time. Maybe it's a country person thing

because we did barely add Wi-Fi my whole life. Even now, there's no Wi-Fi out where my parents live, so we'd all just play a board game all the time. Yeah, right. Like the Beverly Hillbillies. Board games are the best. Mm-hmm. I love them.

Producer Ellie, you've come up with a board game game for us to play this afternoon. I have. It's a bit of a nostalgic one, actually. Is it a game to play when you're bored? A board game game game? That's exactly what it is, Bree. That's exactly what it is.

Even better than a board game game. How bored must you be if you're board game bored? Yeah, exactly. You need to move on to the board game game game. Yeah. Amen. So basically, I've found old jingles from old board games that we did when we were kids

Played when we were kids Sorry I'm popping a bit here And then I'm going to get you guys To play each other And we're going to do best of three Tell us what the game's called Basically yeah Tell us what the game's called

Yeah hope Tell us what the game's called Board game bingo I thought it was called Board game game game Yeah that's it I thought you meant Tell what the games are

And I was like That's the whole point of the game I literally thought the same thing I was like Do you listen to that's it. I thought you meant to tell what the games are. And I was like, that's the whole point of the game. I literally thought the same thing. I was like, do you listen to what Ellie says? No, I just needed you to go board game, bingo. There it is. So we could start. Okay, cool.

All right. So it's going to be a small hook of the advert. And just buzz in if you think you know what it is. All right? All right. You're going down brave, by the way. I feel like this could be New Zealand centric. So it might be hard.

I'm trying not to. Is gumboots and ladders in there? That's the first one, Clint. No idea what you're talking about. All right. When you're ready, Clint, hit off that first one. First to gobble up the most marbles wins. Ah, dammit.

We're Hungry Hungry Hippos! We're in an eating race! Hungry Hungry Hippos! Iconic. We still play that game at my flat. Do you? Without the actual board game. Have you guys seen the clip of the old folks home

where they've set up a real life version of Hungry Hungry Hippos? I love the real life version. I do. It's where you lie on a skateboard, right? No. No, they've put the old folks home where they've set up a real-life version of Hungry Hungry Hip Hop? I love the real-life version. I do. It's where you lie on a skateboard, right? No, no, they've put the oldies in their wheelchairs. And then they've put boxes on the end of brooms and they go and they get the balls. That's such a good idea.

All right, it's 1-0 to Bree. Nice. Okay, when you're ready, Clint, hit the next one off. Remove the pieces and cut. Clint, Clint, Clint. Remove the pieces. Oh, my God. Operation.

Affirmation. This broken heart won't do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, we got the point. There you go. Okay, this is the tie break, technically. So when you're ready, hit it off, Clint. Did your person wear a hat?

No. Clint, Clint, Clint. That was so tight. That was actually very equal. If you both get it right, I'll give you both a point. We'll go to a bonus round. Say it at the same time. Okay.

Ready? Three, two, one. Guess who. Yes, correct. Well done, guys. Guess who. Guess who is a mystery. Did your person wear a hat?

The hot spot Yeah, Twister Your feet and hands go down But you gotta stay up That's how many people realise They had hip puberty Let's get to Hollywood for an update from Dean McCarthy From iHeartRadio

This is The Latest Live from LA with Dean McCarthy Dean, not just us that are going into isolation Obviously famous people are going into isolation as well And Oprah is one of them She certainly is So you may or may not know

Oprah had pneumonia last year Which makes her someone that is very, very susceptible to, you know, being very, very ill if she is exposed to the coronavirus. So what she's done, she has self-isolated very cleverly, like everyone who's smart is doing. She's self-isolated at her home in Hawaii. And now she's even self-isolated Stedman, her longtime partner. He is not allowed

near her. He's been, I'll tell you what happened. She even actually opened up about it on her Instagram, but basically she's put him in the guest house. Don't feel sorry for him. It's got like seven bedrooms, right? Can you imagine Oprah's guest house? It's like a regular house, right? Anyway, he's been flying around on American Airlines and she said, look, she, he wasn't taking it seriously in the beginning. so she is isolating him from her. She's not taking any risks with this because it is very, very serious for someone who has suffered pneumonia recently. So there

you go. Even Oprah. Everyone. He's in trouble for it. He's in the world's flashest dog box of all time, essentially. He didn't take it seriously. We've got a clip here. Is that right, Dean? Yeah, we do. Check it out. Where's Stedman?

Stedman is at the guest house because I had like an bronchial infection. And so... That's why he's at the guest house. And Stedman... And that's why Stedman's at the guest house. Because Stedman did not arrive from Chicago until Thursday.

So Stedman's like, what's the procedure for coming home procedure is you ain't coming and sleeping in my bed god she's awesome she's great how great would it be how great would it be to be doing this isolation thing if you were rich like you go oh no i have to enjoy my multi-illion dollar home in Hawaii for four weeks. What a shame. Imagine if, though, this is all just a hoax and they've actually had a big fight and she's like, no, you're going to the guest house. Yeah, right. I'm telling people that you've got COVID-19.

Yeah. I'll just tell them that's because you've been flying around. That's Dean McCarthy. He's live from, well, California, not quite Hollywood. He's in isolation, too. He's at his place in Palm Springs at the moment. Locked down. We're in lockdown at 11.59

New Zealand. The time is counting down. And after that, I think there may be a weird sort of community watch that goes on. Because we're all making a huge sacrifice here by not going into work, not seeing our loved ones that we don't live with. No one's saying that what we're all making a huge sacrifice here by not going into work, not seeing our loved ones that we don't live with.

No one's saying that what we're about to do is a small or easy thing. But if people aren't going to take it seriously around you, people are going to get pissed off and they're going to go, why are we bothering if you're not even going to do the bare minimum you've been asked, which is stay home? Well, essentially, if 20 people do the right thing and one person doesn't, then it undoes all the good work anyway. Absolutely right.

That's why there is a way that you can narc on people. This is quite useful because what we don't want... Let's go back to primary school where you used to tell on people. Yeah, what we don't want out of this is people going full Batman and going, I will protect the streets. No, that means you're doing the wrong thing that you're out on the streets. Yeah, because you have to go out to do that.

We don't want vigilante justice in this situation. We want constructive information given to the authorities. You know who is going to be in that element? Who? Like, you know the nosy neighbour Karen from next door? Oh, yeah. Like, he loves it.y neighbour Karen from next door? Oh, yeah. Like, he loves it. Always calling up the police for, like, a noise complaint.

Now she has, like, a real actual job to do. This is a Karen's dream, this situation. Karen will be in heaven. She wants to talk to the manager of the government right now. Yeah, she's like, I just want to report my neighbour again. Yeah. Also, they haven't mowed their berm in, like, three weeks. Here's the email address you can use to dob people in.

Okay. And with this, remember, don't clog up the system with stuff that doesn't matter. Yeah. It's just if you seriously think someone is breaking the isolation rules. If you hear a big party going on, that's probably a good one. Yeah, that's a good one. Email about that. If you see a bunch of people showing up to your neighbor's house for a barbecue. Probably a good one to report. That's a good one. Yeah, that's a good one. Email about that. If you see a bunch of people showing up to your neighbour's house for a barbecue,

probably a good one to report. That's a good one. If you see someone leaving their driveway with a high-vis vest on, they're probably going to work in a factory. Probably don't report them. This is the email address you use. nhcc self-isolation at health.govt.nz

So it's nice and catchy. I was going to say, say they made it nice and simple so you can just whack it into the email. Yeah, yeah, just off the top of your head when you see it. You're like, is that person? Quick, honey, send an email to nhccselfisolation at health.govt.nz. Really rolls off the tongue.

She's like, was that one C or two? Is there a dot before the gov? Is there a dot? Is anyv? Is there a dot? Is any of that in capitals? Can you imagine my mum trying to put that email in? No, I can't imagine that. She wouldn't report anyone. It's time to open the phones and check in with people around Aotearoa New Zealand

and just get a handle on how everybody's doing at the moment. Georgia's here. Hi, Georgia. Hi, Georgia. Hi. How are you? I'm good. I couldn't be happier to be in the, Georgia. Hi. How are you? I'm good. I couldn't be happier

to be in the North Island. Oh, where have you come from? What's your situation? So I'm a student down in Dunedin and when the news broke we were scrambling to get flights

because there was none and my little sister was doing a nursing placement down there so I shot down to pick her up and we got one of the last flights out

from anywhere in the South Island to anywhere in the North. Wow. Amazing. That's so nice. So you'll all be able to be together? Yeah, all together.

How much did you pay for a flight from Dunedin to Tauranga? Oh, you do not want to know. Well, none were going to Tauranga. They were only going to Auckland and they're about $400 each. Wow. Yeah. If there wasn't a global pandemic, you could have gone to Sydney and back. I know.

And had some cash left over. Definitely worth the money though, Georgia, for sure. Yeah, for sure. Okay. The family is safe and you know what to do? Pardon? The family is safe and you guys know what to do? Yeah.

Family is safe, not leaving the house. Good. Yeah. Sounds good. Well, good to have you back then, Georgia. All right. Thank you. No problem.

Let's go down to Christchurch Or near Christchurch And speak with Sam Kia ora Sam How you going? Hi Sam What's going on with you? Oh not a lot

Just working along Working along What do you do for work? I'm farming What kind of farm are you running Sam? Oh I'm not running I'm just working on it I'm just a boy

But I'm shaping crops Oh yep Bree's gone into farmer chat Yeah Oh yep Oh, I'm not running. I'm just working on it. I'm just a boy. But, no, shape and crop. Oh, yep. Bree's gone into farmer chat. Oh, yep, yep. I was just talking to my dad earlier today who's a farmer, and I was like, Dad, what's going on with you? He goes, business as usual here. Yeah.

Business as usual. That's exactly right. How does it affect the farming community? Sam, what does it mean for you guys? You don't get to stop, right? No, we just keep charging along. But, yeah, just understand reading everything about animals and all that rubbish today with it.

Yeah, that's actually what I called up because I wasn't too sure about one of them. I read a thing about equestrian horse riders and that. They're not permitted to go ride their horse or see their horse or whatever unless it's a medical emergency. It's like, well, what if you've got to go see your horse to see if it's got water and if they get fed dry, they get fed supplements and all that kind of thing. Yeah.

Everyone's go. Yeah. How's that going to work with MPI and all that kind of thing. Yeah. Everyone's gay. Yeah. How is that going to work with, for MPI and all that? Yeah, well, we don't know the answer to that, but I think you need to assume and use common sense that your duty of care to any of your animals continues, but you have even more responsibility

in a situation like this to make sure that you're not interacting with anybody else, no other human beings in this situation, right? Just take all the measures you can. Yeah, if you're going to those animals, you go there and you go straight back. That's not the official information, though, but some of these things we're going to have to assume

and use common sense in the moment, I guess. Rob, hi, Rob. Hey, guys, it's Chocolate Man here from yesterday. Rob, Chocolate Man. Good to have you back, Rob. How are you doing today? Well, before all this happened on Monday, I worked for Turner, so I had to go and pick a customer up.

So I took out the little sneaky to go and see my girlfriend that I've only been for seven months. Yeah. And I've got anxiety and depression, and I also can't see my 18-month-old baby for four weeks. So at this present time, you know, my body's shaking and, you know, just getting all the nerves and stuff. Yeah, absolutely.

So your situation is that you're going to be isolated from your baby and from your new partner, is that correct? That's correct, yeah. Mate, that's tough. Who are you going to be living with? Who are you isolating with? I've got my two boys with me and I've got my parents all living on the same farm out in Cummew, so we've got five acres.

So we've got the swimming pool and all that. Well, at least you've got, you know, obviously close family, loved ones, but it doesn't make it any easier when you're away from, you know, your partner and your newborn. Yeah, it makes you hard, like trying to sleep at night. So I have to take sleeping pills just to pretty much, pretty much find myself to go to sleep every night. What's your plan?

You've said to us you have a depression and anxiety. You're aware of how you react in these situations. What's your plan to maintain your mental health through this? Well, I've asked my father if I can use his PlayStation, so I'll just put the headset on and probably just play games with the kids. That's pretty much what we can do. Well, can I make a suggestion? I mean, I suffer from anxiety myself, and I think something that we need to remember in people,

you know, obviously with mental health problems, getting out there for a walk and a bit of an exercise is super important in a time like this and not cooping yourself up the whole time. So play your games and do all that fun stuff. Yeah, not to kick you off the PlayStation or anything. Not to kick you off. Do that. But you're going to have time to, you know, maybe go for a walk or even a jog maybe,

and that might, you know, kind of ease your mind a little bit and just help with that kind of thing. Yeah, no, that sounds good. Yeah, I might take that. Can you keep calling us too, please? Yeah, keep calling back, Rob. No, I will, definitely. We love hearing from you, bro. That's Rob the Chocolate Man.

We only met him yesterday, and now he's the star of our show. Yeah, nicknamed himself the Chocolate Man. We're going to keep throwing the he's the star of our show. Yeah, nicknamed himself the chocolate man. We're going to keep throwing the phones open throughout the afternoon. We want to get you guys on later as well. Next though, this is all very heavy shit. So what we're going to do is we're going to look at some good news stories after this. Yes, they are to do with COVID-19

but I've got some positive stories to share with everybody next. And then, you wouldn't believe it, after that, we're going to do something not related to COVID-19. We're going to play a game. Nah, not allowed at the moment. Let's get some positive news out there. There's a lot of stuff raining down at the moment.

It's a very stressful time. So what I've got here are three good news stories that will hopefully brighten the mood a little bit. All of them are COVID-19 based. Oh joy. Oh joy, yeah. No, but here's some good things coming out of it, okay? Here's a good feeling

news. Ben made that. Producer Ben is sitting at home at the moment because he can't come in. He's in self-isolation and that's what he's made for us to use for this. He goes, I've got you, Clint. I know what you can use. So it's time for good feeling news.

I get a good feeling. Put a lot of work into that producer, Ben, and it doesn't go unnoticed here. First up, the Flight Centre employees who this week lost their jobs. Flight Centre had to lay off 250 of their staff this week. Have all been offered jobs at the supermarket. Yeah, I know.

So the two major supermarket chains in New Zealand have said, we are desperate for staff at the moment. We know Flight Centre employees are good workers. We know it's not the career that you are working on, but in the meantime, as far as keeping you guys working and keeping an income going, we'll take you guys, come and work for us in the supermarkets. Yeah, I mean, best case in a crappy situation.

Right. At least you've still got some money coming in. Yeah. And I mean, tough job at the moment though, isn't it? Yeah. Restocking shelves, that's... Oh, and dealing with people when they're stressed out and desperate and worried as well.

So, I mean, it's a whole new skill set. Although I'm sure you deal with some irate travel customers sometimes. Yeah, I bet there would be times. So maybe it's translatable. Okay, another one. I get a good feeling. Have you seen the brewery in Hamilton, Good George Brewery, who have committed to making hand sanitiser?

Yeah, I saw this. They've stopped production of certain other things, and they're concentrating on that. So they had a whole distillery going where they were making whiskey. I didn't realise they made whiskey. Good George do an amazing range of beers. They're such good beers. But anyway, they were experimenting with whiskey

and they can convert the alcohol that they had in the distillery into hand sanitiser. So it sucks because they're going to lose all of their whiskey and the whiskey has been in there ageing for over a year. Sacrifices, right? Does that mean the hand sanitizer smells like whiskey? It might. I mean, that's a genius product in itself. Some people hate the smell of whiskey.

I don't mind it. Yeah, I don't mind it either. I don't mind the taste. And finally, this one's had to change. It was that Domino's who were staying open during the lockdown have said that they will do free pizzas delivered, hot meals to people who are over 70. Yeah, that was nice, wasn't it?

That's what they were going to do. They can't anymore. Things have changed. They need to close just like everybody else. And that's fair. Like we need to get Domino's workers home as well so that they can isolate. They've said that when it is safe for Domino's to open, they're going to still do what they said

and they're going to make the free meals to the elderly still happen when it's possible. Yeah, isn't that so nice and thoughtful of them? Yeah. So there are still good stories out there and there are good people doing good things through all of us. Yeah. It's just kind of hard to see them at the moment, right?

It is. And I think, like we've been saying, this is an opportunity where we get to all unite together, you know, and we've got each other and we're going to get through it together. And whiskey and dominoes. Yum. Absolutely. Bree and Clint.

Sometimes you just get a, you know, you just want to talk about something else other than what's going on at the moment. And you need to get creative and just make games out of nothing. Right. Which is why I've come up with a game which I like to call Pitbull. What's he saying? It's Mr. 305 checking in for the remix.

I say y'all having a good time out there. Here we go. Bit of pitbull. Yeah. He always lifts our spirits here in the studio. And essentially how the game works, Clint, is we're going to get two people on at a time and we're going to play a bit of a pitbull song

and then it's going to be who can get to closest what he's actually saying. Right, okay. Sure, Nadia's here. Hi, Nadia. Hi, Nadia. Hi. Hi. You're going to be playing against Fiona. Hi, okay. Sure, Nadia's here. Hi, Nadia. Hi, Nadia. Hi. Hi.

You're going to be playing against Fiona. Hi, Fiona. Hi, Fi. Hi. All right, guys. So you guys are going against each other in the first game. We're going to play you a short clip of a Pitbull song and then we're going to get each of your answers

closest to the actual lyrics. We'll win. All right? Okay. All right, here comes the clip. Alright, as much as you can get, you go first, Nadia. Oh gosh, I've just gone. I don't know.

No. Give it a go. Go, give it a go. Dig a dog, dig a dog. Okay, we'll play it one more time. No, no, no. We'll play it one more time. No, no, no. We'll play it one more time. Anything? Here we go.

Down and down. Going round and round. I think you might be a lost case now, dear. Fiona, you just have to get like a line. One line. And you'll win. Does it have to be like a line that hasn't been said already? No, no. One of. And you'll win. Does it have to be like a line that hasn't been said already? No, no. One of the lines he just said.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall or something like that. That'll do. But you've won. The actual lyrics of what he said is, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. The biggity boys, a diggity dog. I have them like Miley Cyrus clothes off. You were close with your diggity dog, Nadia.

Thanks for playing, guys. Let's get two more contestants on. Stacey's here. Hey, Stace. Hi, Stace. Hi. Alright, you're taking on Darren. Hi, Darren. Hey, guys. Alright, are you guys ready for your lyrics? Yep. You've got to mimic what Pitbull is saying here. Let's go.

Let's say money ain't a thing. Club chump like LeBron now. Bold it. Order me another round. Hold me. All right, Stacey, you go. Okay, um... I'm about to juggle throw down.

I don't think you got a single word. I like the attempt, though. Darren, what did you hear in that clip? Money in the bank, homie. Fold it down. Yeah, something like that. I think Darren was closer. Let's listen to it one more time.

Okay. Let's just say money ain't a thing. Club chumpin' like LeBron now. Bold it. Order me another round, homie. I think they all got messed up on order me another round, homie. We've got to give it to Darren because at least Darren said money, right? Yeah, exactly.

Darren, you took out that round. Sorry, Stace. Thanks for playing, guys. Let's get one more game on from Kiven. Hey, Kiv. Hi, Kev. Hey. All right, you're taking on Hannah.

Hi, Hannah. Hi. All right, your guys' one might be the easiest. Here we go. You've got to mimic what is Pitbull saying. All right, you go first, Kev. Pick to the top. I'm going to wait to the top.

Pick, got it, lock. Yep. That's good. That's good. That was very good, Kev. Hannah, you're going to need to complete that second line to beat Kevin. What have you got? I got nothing on you, Kevin.

Go on. Give us what you did get. All right. Play it one more time. Tick to the top, on my way to the top. My pit got it locked from goose to the lock. Got a tick-tock to the way to the top, yeah. That's not bad. Pretty good, Hannah. It's you, though, Kev. You've gotck to the way to the top. Yeah. That's not bad.

Pretty good, Hannah. It's you, though, Kip. You've got that one, man. Well done. Nice work, Kip. Thank you. He actually said tick to the tock on the way to the top. Kip got it locked from goons to the locks.

He rhymed locked with locks. I know. He's a lyrical genius. He is. He's the Tupac of our generation. Now, what have we learned from playing What Did Pitbull Say? That he's making most of it up. We need to make it shorter because it's too hard, the game. Nah, there's some Pitbull fans out there who are waiting for their turn after that, I think.

It's a bit of fun. Brian Clint. Kia ora. I'm Simon Bound, and I host Business Is Boring, a podcast that reckons it's anything but.

Best nickname origin is going to win for themselves free mobile fuel this afternoon. That's correct. Renata's here to play.

Hey, Renata. Hi. Hi, how are you? Good, thanks. Renata, what's your nickname? Reg. Reg. Reg.

Reg. I think about maybe Reg. I mean. It's a blokey nickname. Short for Reginald. That was my pa's name Reggie Renata

Who's a famous Reg? What if she's got red hair? Reg She's blonde, okay, thanks Appreciate the help Reg Who's the rugby league guy? Maybe it's her alternate

Reg Reg Reagan That's the rugby league guy? Maybe it's her alternate. Yeah, that's Reggie. Reagan? Reg Reagan. Reg Reagan. That's all I got. Maybe that's her alternate, like. Her drunken alter ego. Yeah, Reg.

Okay, as your drunk alter ego, when you get boozed, does Reg come out? No, Samantha does. Oh. Who's Samantha? Hi, I'm Samantha. Samantha, that's my person when I don't want to be me. Yeah, what's she like? Is she a good time?

my initials went from R-E-R to R-E-G. Oh, Reg. There you go. That makes sense. We never would have guessed that. Never would have guessed it. Christina, hi, welcome to Nickname Origins. Hi.

Christina. Christina. Hi. Hi. Hey, what's your nickname? Sissy Mary Lou. Sissy Mary Lou. Sissy Mary Lou. Sissy Mary Lou.

Mm-hmm. Sissy Mary Lou. Do you reckon it's from, like, a nickname from one of her other sisters? Or it's her middle name. Yeah. And her dad calls her Sissy Mary Lou. Yeah, no, the Mary Lou dolls back in the day, that's where that came from. Oh, he's going to tell us.

I'm going to say it was from the Mary Lou dolls back in the day. Christina, was it from the Mary Lou dolls back in the day. That's where that came from. Oh, he's going to tell us. I'm going to say it was from the Mary Lou dolls back in the day. Christina, was it from the Mary Lou dolls back in the day? Uh-huh, uh-huh. Oh, done. Okay, cool. Nathan, what's your nickname? Eagle Boy. Eagle Boys.

Easy peasy. It's because you used to eat a lot of Eagle Boys pizza back in the day. Eagle Boys, it's his favourite. Oh, I wish. I wish it was that easy. Oh, what is it? Well, it's basically a pizza shop. When I was a kid,

my brothers made a firework board and it blew up in my face. So I got pretty pink and scared, so they used to call me Eagle Boy because I looked like one of the pizzas. Oh, that's horrible, Nathan. Your brothers blew your face up with a homemade firework and said you looked like an Eagle Boys pizza. Yeah, yeah, Nathan. Your brothers blew your face up with a homemade firework

and said you looked like an Eagle Boy's pizza. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Don't do that at home, kids, especially over the next four weeks of self-isolation. Eagle Boy wins. Eagle Boy. Oh, yes. Yeah, I think you've won it, Nathan.

Do they still call you Eagle Boy? Sometimes, yeah. They're terrific. What do you do when Eagle Boy Rock comes on, Nathan? I try to avoid it as possible. I was having

a conversation with one of my friends last night who recently has started dating someone. It's brand new. Oh, exciting. Super exciting. But now, obviously, there's the... Tyranny of distance. Bit of a roadblock where you're not going to be able

to see that person for four weeks at least. And I said to you off air... It's like a real-life Romeo and Juliet. Well, kind of, yeah. I said to you off air, I was like, when other in our world today would this really happen where you just literally have to communicate over, you know, a phone or through text message and you couldn't actually physically see someone.

I know long distance is different. So you mean you've met them though? So you've met them. And you've done the groundwork. You may have even. Yeah, well, maybe, but it's still really new. Yeah. Like, I guess the hard decision is do you self-isolate together?

Early? How early? I don't know. How early is your friend's one? It's pretty early. They've only hung out like three or four times. Yeah, no, you don't self-isolate together. Well, that one's a pretty easy one to...

Four weeks together after... You know what that is? That's real life married at first sight. Well, what if you wanted to? What if both people wanted to? I still don't think you should do it. Is it risky? It's so risky.

Because... Well... Yeah, no. It's just risky. You don't know enough about each other. You don't. You definitely don't. And the whole idea of this is go home, stay home.

And the responsible thing to do is to stay at that place for four weeks. And if you decide in the first week that, ooh, this guy doesn't brush his teeth twice a day, you're stuck there. Yeah. But then you also obviously have that risk of not seeing someone for four weeks and then maybe it fizzles out. Yeah. Or you have the risk of seeing them someone for four weeks and then maybe it fizzles out. Yeah. Or you have the risk of seeing them too much over that four weeks

and you're sick of each other. And you use it all up. Yeah. Yeah. Because this spark that you have at the beginning of a relationship, it's because it's all new. It's because you haven't seen each other that much before. If you're in each other's face working together,

eating together, sleeping together every day, you could be done with them by four weeks and that might be okay too. Yeah, maybe. Maybe that's what it's meant to be. Do you reckon people are on Tinder? Do you reckon there's maybe it's a good time? I don't think anything can stop some people on Tinder. Because obviously you can still use Tinder responsibly in this time where you can just

meet people and talk to them through the app and on the phone. Yeah, Tinder and those apps can be a good way just to keep in contact with people. Yeah. Like if you don't have a huge friend list, Tinder might be a fun way of just chatting to people. Unless you don't have good self-control, then you should stay off those apps. Stay off all of the dating apps. Can you imagine you get stopped by a police roadblock?

He's like, what are you doing? And they're like, wind the window down, please. You're like, what are you up to? Tinder date? He's like, what are you doing? And they're like, wind the window down, please. What are you up to? Tinder date? He's like, no, no, no. No, you don't understand. You don't understand. She is so hot.

Show us a picture. Seriously, she's hot. Oh, yeah, she's pretty hot. Wave them through, boys. Wave them through. We've got a live one. He's good to go. I want to know from people, because obviously you and I can't comment,

what are you doing? Are you on Tinder? Have you decided that you're just going to talk to people for the next four weeks? Are you in a new relationship right now? Have you made the decision to self-isolate together? That'd be interesting. Yeah.

Like how long has it been that you've been dating? Oh, I'd love to know. I'd love to know from some new relationship people. What's your plan? What is the plan? What is your plan? You've dated enough to know that there's something there and you want to pursue it, but not long enough that you really know each other that well at all.

Yeah. What is your plan to navigate the next four weeks? Yeah, I'd love to know that. Because you need to decide now, today. Yeah. Yeah. Is FaceTime enough to get you guys through? Yeah.

Or is it too soon for things like FaceTime? That's a full-on experience in itself to me. What do you mean? FaceTiming someone? Yeah. Yeah, it is it too soon for things like FaceTime? Like, that's a full-on experience in itself to me. What do you mean? FaceTiming someone? Yeah. Yeah, it is quite full-on, isn't it? You know? Yeah, a little bit.

But maybe you don't think that. Maybe you're totally good to go. I'm just curious. It's been a long time since I've had to do this thing, so. People who are dating, we want you to call us 0800-DIAL-ZM. Give us a bit of an insight as to what that looks like over the next four weeks. Dating in COVID-19

If you've just started dating someone or you're like very early on you need to make the choice because that's what you need to do. You can't go from house to house. You need to make the choice of you know not seeing that person for four weeks. Or only seeing that person for four weeks. Or only seeing that person for four weeks.

Or making a drastic decision. It's literally one extreme or the other. Those are your options. Pretty much. We want to talk to people this afternoon who are, I guess, navigating dating during coronavirus. What's going on out there in the dating world? Let's get Mandy on.

Hi, Mandy. Maddie. Hi. Oh, Maddie. Hey, Maddie. Yeah, yeah, close enough. Yeah, hey, how you going? Good, Maddie. Hi. Oh, Maddie. Hey, Maddie. Yeah, yeah, close enough. Yeah, hey, how you going? Good, Maddie.

Are you in this boat? I am very much in this boat. I'm driving to my boyfriend's house right now to go move in. Really? Whoa. And how long have you guys been dating for? It's not super new. We've been dating for five months, maybe so.

Oh, that's not super long either, though. No. But you weren't planning on moving in together this soon before lockdown was coming, is that right? Absolutely not. Had no intention of it. Maddie, talk to us. Tell us the real story. Are you a little bit worried that you're going to get

on each other's nerves? Yes, a little, but we already worked together as well. That's how we met. So I think hopefully the chances are a little lower, having already spent a lot of time together. It's exciting. It's going to all be new and that sort of stuff. It's going to be really exciting for the first week at least.

The issue is, though, when girls move into a guy's place, they like to redecorate. You like to go to Kmart and buy all the stuff that looks nice and get rid of all of his shitty stuff. You're not going to be able to do that. We make it look pretty. You're going to have to live lad chic for at least a month. It's all right.

I've already bought all my candles. Good idea. And I've got a couple pillows as well, so I'm well prepared. Nanny, can I ask a bit more of a serious question? What was the other option? That you guys just didn't see each other for four weeks? Or what, did you guys talk about that? Yeah, we definitely did.

I think the other two options were, one, the poor bastard had to move in with my family. Bit of a no-go. Or two, we just not see each other and just like FaceTime and stuff. But I thought since we already were used to spending a lot of time together, maybe this wouldn't be so crazy, but maybe I'll prove myself wrong in a week. Yeah. We'd love to hear from you in a week. Yeah, can you call us back in a week?

Yeah. I'll give you an update. Yeah, let's get us those updates. Love that. This text that we got is fascinating. This text is very interesting. Someone texted through and they said, about four or five couples that I know,

they don't believe in living together before getting married, and they made the decision to get married from in between the announcement of isolation on Monday and today. That's three days. They've been married in the last three days. Shotgun wedding so you can live together. That's three days. They've been married in the last three days. Shotgun wedding so you can live together. That's incredible. Crazy, hey.

I don't understand the religious side of it completely, but could you not just live together and not do the... This is like an exception. Not do the thing? Can't, you know, they just make an exception? Maybe not. Can God see his way to allow one exception during a pandemic? Is this an exception?

Are you testing me, Father? Is this a test? Oh, well, I'll get married anyway. Those guys are going to have a hell of a honeymoon. Yeah, right. And Emily, welcome to the show. Talk to us about dating during COVID-19. Oh, my gosh, it's mental.

What's going on? I've been seeing this guy for about two weeks, and I quite like him, and he seems to quite like me so we had this conversation about what we're going to do now. No! So I'm an essential service so I still have to go to work.

So we decided we're going to have to be in separate houses and virtual date for four weeks which is longer than we've even been dating. That is so buzzy. Brie and I were terrified that you guys had gone the other way and you'd decided to live together. for four weeks, which is longer than we've even been dating. Oh, right. You've got that option. That is so buzzy. Brie and I were terrified that you guys had gone the other way and you'd decided to live together. After two weeks.

Did you talk about that, though, Emily? We kind of skirted around the whole idea. Neither of us wanted to say, well, we could move in together because I think we both thought it was ridiculous. You don't even know his last name. You're like, but we could just for, you know, for a week. I just learned his last name on Saturday. Wow.

Emily, I can hear it in your voice. It's going to work, okay? Can I just say this is going to work, and at the end of it, you guys are going to be so jazzed to see each other. You need to book yourself a hotel room somewhere and not come out for a couple of days. Yeah, there's going to be a lot of built-up. Have you guys done that yet, by the way?

A little bit of indoor gardening. Yeah, just recently. There's going to be a lot of weeds to get rid of. Emily, what essential service are you? Can we ask? I'm in the hospital helping just arrange the whole COVID. Good. Thank you so much, Emily.

Thank you for your service. Doing an amazing job. We're very lucky to have people like you in our country ready to go. We're proud of you already. So thanks for calling. Thank you. much, Emily. Thank you for your service. Doing an amazing job. We're very lucky to have people like you in our country ready to go. We're proud of you already, so thanks for calling. Thank you. Thanks, Emily, and good luck with virtual dating. Thanks. And with the pandemic.

And with the weeds and everything. Bree and Clint. Birthday banger. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. We do this every day at this time and we take your birthdays and we figure out what was number one on your 16th.

Right. What do you do for a job? I'm a nurse. Another nurse. Wow. Amazing. Thank you so much for what you're doing. My partner's a nurse, so I know obviously the sacrifices you guys are having to make,

and it's a lot to go through being a nurse in this time for sure. Yeah, thanks so much for that. How is the mood in the hospital that you work in at the moment? It's a little tense. I'm actually a new grad, so I'm basically in my first year of practice. Oh, man. So that makes it even more stressful. Are you going, man, did I choose the right job?

Yeah, literally. Shout out to Vint. No one knows it's me. Go on. We appreciate all the sacrifices and what you're doing, Eliza. Let's do your birthday banger. What's your birthday? 13th of February, 1997.

Jazain, that's a cool name. What's her birthday? The 30th of June, 1984. All right, she was 16 in the year 2000 on the 30th of June. And this is your mum's birthday banger. Why is that so funny, Cherise? That's a dumb song. Oh, I like it.

I think it's a good song. Oops, she did it again. I love how you both cracked up at that. You guys have got the exact same sense of humour. I wouldn't mind that birthday, babe. I thought it was good. Quite a bop. All right.

Is it going to be Britney? Is it going to be Macklemore? Or is it going to be Savage Garden? I like them all. I like them all, too. I can easily hear all of those songs right now. Yeah, I think we need a bit more energy than the Macklemore song, which is obviously a great song.

Oh, my gosh. Overwhelming, right? And that's the person who received the $100,000. This is how Bree reacted. Oh, my God! What you heard in there, that bang, is not a gunshot. That's not the sound of someone who's just been fatally wounded. Why do I come to work?

Oh my god! For you just to take the piss out of me all the time. And producer Ben, I know this is you behind the scenes because you're not at work, but I know who's made this. I know who's behind this. We're all in this together. On Saturday, we get a message on our Facebook page

Welcome to our new segment, Cup of Tea and a Biscuit, which we're aiming to do at this time every day, where we slow down and we have a cup of tea and a biscuit and we reflect on how we're feeling because there's a lot of shit going on. Yeah, how's everyone feeling where you are? You can text us on 9696 because obviously tonight is, you know, where it's really got

to hit home because it is lockdown at 11.59 tonight. Don't forget that. She's made it just in time. Yesterday we had no biscuit for a cup of tea and a biscuit. We were on the verge of having no cup of tea this time. But no, Ellie's made it with the cup of tea. Thank you, Ellie. So you've left my bag in.

Yeah, you've left the bag in all of us. I was strapped for time. I've had to do bare minimum. It's fine, it's fine. These are unprecedented times. I wouldn't mind if you could jump out there and answer some phones, actually, because we'd love to get people on for a cup of tea and a biscuit. I've got the biscuits today.

Oh, what biscuit do you have? We need to ration these, by the way, because I don't want to be in the supermarket too often. Yeah. In fact, we can't be. So today we've gone with a chocolate Afghan. That's very Kiwi, because I'd never heard of this before I moved here.

What, an Afghan or a chocolate Afghan? An Afghan. Never heard of an Afghan. No, we don't have those in Australia. You don't have Afghans. What a cursed country. You don't have an Afghan. You don't have a bloody Afghan. What a cursed country. You don't have Afghans. You don't have a bloody Afghan.

Anyway, Chin Chin, before we, by the way, you can call us now, 0800 DALS at M for a cup of tea and a biscuit. You don't have to be having a cup of tea and a biscuit,

but we just want to know how you're doing. But I mean, you're allowed to if you want to. Cheers. Cheers. Chin Chin. Cheers.

What do you say when you're having a cup of tea? Don't say cheers. A biscuit. Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot. Okay. Alright. So how are we going? How are you going at the moment? How are things with you? Cheers. Good biscuit. Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot. Okay. All right. So how are we going?

How are you going at the moment? How are things with you? Things are a little bit heavy at the moment. I'm having to make tough decisions because my partner obviously works at the hospital as a nurse. So I'm now having to make decisions about maybe not seeing her for like four, five, six weeks or, you know, just making decisions like that. It can be really tough. And then I also I think I'm reading a lot of stuff actually just want to talk about nurses for a minute and doctors and people ostracizing them because of obviously what they're doing for a job at the moment. Yeah. You know, obviously it's very stressful and people tend to react in a weird way.

Yeah. But just remember that those people are making sacrifices for all of us. Yeah, and sacrifices that you don't see as well. Yeah, and just treat them how they should be treated. Like you don't even understand how much stress they would be under. They don't want to be around you either at this time but they've got to live somewhere, right? So just make them feel welcome, make them feel comfortable

because, I mean, they've got literally one of the hardest jobs right now. That's a good message. Ryan, welcome to Cup of Tea and a Biscuit, mate. Hi, Ryan. Hey, how are you? Are you having a cup of tea and a biscuit? No, no, no, I've just finished work. Alright, virtual cup of tea and a biscuit. How are you doing, mate? How's things with you?

Yeah, a bit stressed, but I'll get there. What do you do for a job? I'm a truck driver. Oh, right. Yeah, we forget about, you know, all the truck drivers and career drivers that have to continue on. We have to stop eating our biscuits, by the way. It doesn't make good radio.

So you'll be working through what are you most stressed about at the moment? Is it work stuff or is it personal stuff? Oh, it's just the thing like, so I'm in the FERT division, so I'm carting fertiliser into all the different farms. Yeah. And 90% of the time when we come into those farms,

there's always a farmer around. It's like, oh, have you got this virus? Like, I don't want you anywhere near me or anything. And when we're going and loading up, like, we're not allowed out of our trucks or anything. It's quite crazy. Yeah. I imagine farmers are fairly isolated

by nature of what they do anyway. But you guys just have to use best practice, right? You've got to not make physical contact. You've got to keep that two metres away from each other. You can get around this thing, right, Ryan? Oh, yeah, definitely. Like my truck alone, it's got like a water tank and soap dispenser and everything on the outside

of it. So every time I'm tarping up or taking tarps off or something, I can always wash my hands. And that's just good to remember. Just keep washing your hands and look after yourself, mate. It's okay to be stressed in this situation. Everybody is. And thanks for talking to us. Alex, welcome to Cup of Tea and a Biscuit. yourself, mate. It's okay to be stressed in this situation. Everybody is. And thanks for talking to us.

Alex, welcome to Cup of Tea and a Biscuit. Hi, Alex. Hi. Whereabouts are you? Christchurch. How are you feeling, Alex? What do you do for a job? I'm a full-time student, part-time, McDonald's worker.

All right. So you'll be going on break for the next four weeks? Yeah, everything's shut. Everything's turned off. Everyone's gone home. Is your study still happening? No. We still had two weeks left over,

and I had four assessments in those two weeks and completely shut down the university. Yeah, right. What are you studying? Law. Oh, right. Okay. Should they just give you a free pass on those four? Just give you a distinction?

I don't know if that's how law works. It doesn't work like that? Benefit of the doubt? Well, you don't have to know. We've had about 20 emails in the last couple of days, and they just keep saying we've got to wait because they haven't made decisions on those things yet. God, that'd be good, though, wouldn't it, Alex?

I remember what it was like being at uni. Imagine if they were just like, those four assessments, we're going to give you a pass on all of them. We're going to let them go. Well, I have my fingers crossed for that, but knowing them, they won't allow that. That's not the way they go. Are you okay, though?

You've got somewhere to stay during lockdown. You know who your people are going to be and you're sorted come midnight tonight? Yeah, I'm sorted. I have a little flat by myself and then I live right across from my family. So we're all good.

Well, you can call us anytime. We're going to be here. Okay, Alex? I probably will. Yeah, call anytime. We'd love to hear from you. Okay. That's a cup of tea and a biscuit.

Wonderful. Thank you for calling us today, everybody. Yeah, and if you do feel like you want to talk to someone, we are going to be here every afternoon on the weekdays. So you can feel free to call us at any time. Yeah, and if you do feel like you want to talk to someone, we are going to be here every afternoon on the weekdays, so you can feel free to call us at any time. Text machine's always open too. Brianne Clint.

Brianne Clint. Gotta keep it in the family story for you. Have you ever heard of, I believe he's a football player, Giovanni Ldo Vireira di Sousa. No, I can't say I'm familiar with any football players,

particularly that guy. Yeah, anyway, he's a big deal in the football community. His nickname is the Hulk. That's what people call him. Oh, why didn't you just say so? Yeah, no, you still don't know who I'm talking about. Anyway, he's currently playing for a Chinese professional team. Anyway, so he's living in China at the moment and he was married.

He wouldn't be playing currently though. No, he's not playing currently, but that's where he's living. And his wife, he lived with her and was married with her for 12 years, Iran and Jalou. They broke up last July, which is sad. 12 years is a long time. Yeah. That's a long time.

Too long, some people would say. Yeah, well, maybe. Anyway, so he broke up with her and later that year in October, he sparked up a new relationship. Good. Get back on the horse. With her niece, Camilla Angelo. Yeah, right.

Okay. Not recommended best practice. So technically his new girlfriend is his ex-wife's niece, so that makes his ex-wife her auntie, right? Doesn't that make him her uncle? Yeah, but not related. But still. But still, yeah.

You've been in the family for 12 years and she would have called you uncle. Does that make? Yeah, it does, doesn't it? Yeah. Yeah. What did you say his football name was? The Hulk? Uncle Hulk.

Uncle Hulk. She would have been calling you Uncle Hulk. Is there an age issue here? That's what I thought. So I've looked into that. So apparently the Hulk, Giovanniildo, he's 33. Yeah. And the niece, her name is Camilla, she is 31.

Oh, okay. So it's all above board. Yeah, okay. Still, way to really torch the family. Can you imagine? Like imagine being his ex-wife, having to deal with that massive breakup, being with someone for so long. Who knows how it ended?

And then having to find out that he's dating your niece. And if it's her niece, it means that it's one of her siblings' kids. So what do you do? Go to your brother or sister and go, hey, can you sort your stupid kid out? Yeah. She's dating my ex-husband.

I wonder if they look alike. Oh. Because they've also got the same last name. Yeah, that makes it easy. Doesn't it? Yeah, right. How weird. I just think about Christmas in these situations.

Have you ever dated anyone that's related? To me? No. No, not to yourself. Not that I'm aware of. Although people do say Lucy and I look very similar. Yeah, you do. Have I dated people who are from the same family?

No. No? No. No, the pond is big enough that you can find a different fish. I'm trying to think if I have. Surely you haven't. I don't think I have. No.

I don't think so. Producer Ellie, what about you? Have you ever dated someone? Or maybe we'll take cousins? No. Can't say I have. That's a negative. Does your boyfriend have any brothers or sisters? Sisters, yes.
