G'day folks, welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast on day one of New Zealand's isolation.
That's correct, day one in lockdown.
Who's in your bubble, by the way?
My bubble, you, Ellie, Alan, my flatmate, and Annabelle.
Cool, you've got a nice small bubble.
Just a small bubble, yeah.
Your bubble, by the way, if you're not in a country currently doing lockdown,
is the only people you will have contact with.
For a month.
For a month, yeah.
Well, face-to-face contact.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My bubble is you, Ellie, Tui, and Lucy.
So same amount.
Four-person bubble.
Yeah.
Ellie, who's in your bubble?
I've got you guys.
You guys, and then my boyfriend, Sam,
and then my two flatmates Alex and Jordan. Oh jealous
you get an extra person. I do.
I want an extra person. Here's a
question. If you could have anyone in your bubble who would you have?
If you could have five
people in your bubble. Oh easy
the Spice Girls.
I don't know if they like each other anymore so that
might be a mummy. Yeah that'd be fun for me it'd be like real life
Love Island. A hectic bubble.
Nah here's the thing like normally i'd say like legends that i wanted to see like richie mccall and dan carter but in this situation you want people who are going to entertain you in a
confined space and they enter very entertaining on the footy field but what are they going to do
in my lounge you know much well i don't know I've never hung out with them in that close quarters. Like, can they cook?
Yeah, great question.
Great question.
Who are you having?
Who do you want?
I know that I'm going to sound like such a little bitch.
Bring it on. Are you going to say your mum?
No, I actually would have my mum.
She's one of the people that I actually would have.
Oh, no shit.
So would I.
Fine, I won't have all the Spice Girls.
No, but you know what?
I mean, I don't have that option here,
and I don't know when I'm going to see her again,
so I'd be like, definitely my mum.
And to be honest, like.
Not dead, though.
Yeah, not big Steve.
He's kind of annoying.
No, he's.
He leaves moustache clippings on the vanity.
No, I'd love to have my family members in,
but if I had to pick one, it'd probably be my mum,
just because her and I get along, and I can just torment her for four weeks.
Yeah, you get some good content out of that.
Exactly.
I mean, think of the content.
I wouldn't have my family in my bubble.
You wouldn't?
Nah, too many fights.
No, you can just pick one.
Oh, mum.
Yeah.
You want your mum there in times like this.
Yeah.
I think.
Oh, my brother's a pretty good chef.
My mum's a good cook too. My dad can't times like this. Yeah. I think. Oh, my brother's a pretty good chef. My mum's a good cook too.
My dad can't cook for sure.
Yeah.
Dad makes great cheese on toast and banana sandwiches.
Is that yum?
You know how dads only really have one thing that they can cook?
My dad's got three things.
What are the three things that he cooks?
Cheese on toast.
Yeah.
I mean, not too hard.
It's cheese and...
All right.
All right.
All right.
You haven't had it. You haven't had it. What's so special about it? It's cheese and... All right. All right. All right. You haven't had it.
You haven't had it.
What's so special about it?
It's just is.
Cute.
Oh, that's nice.
Banana sandwiches.
I love a banana sandwich.
Right?
They're underrated.
Do you put sugar on them?
No.
What?
The banana's sweet enough.
Are you crazy?
No.
Are you crazy?
Are you crazy?
You'll crack banana sandwiches.
Banana sandwich. The recipe, by the way, is white bread, lots of butter,
although he always made it with margarine, and sliced banana.
And sugar.
You've got to sprinkle sugar on it.
Do you have sugar on your Weet-Bix?
Yes.
I love sugar on Weet-Bix.
How have you got to keep all your teeth?
I brush them.
Yeah, that's a good option.
And I don't eat cereal that often, although not this week.
That is a bold-faced lie.
What?
You eat cereal by the box.
I literally, the last time I bought a box of cereal was years ago.
And then for some reason it's like crack cocaine to me at the moment.
I'm like, where's the Nutri-Grain?
I stand by my statement that cereal is shit breakfast, by the way.
Nah.
There are so many better breakfast options.
What about muesli, yogurt on top, milk?
Oh, that's a good time.
Cold breakfast can SRD.
But you do like warm Weet-Bix, that's a good time.
Yeah.
And sugar.
Yeah, that's not.
Warm Weet-Bix and sugar.
Cold breakfast is too camping.
Yeah, and I do find that cereal doesn't keep me full for very long.
I get a real high for like two seconds and then I just crash.
Yeah, that's why I eat a lot of it.
Ellie, we asked you this yesterday and it was fascinating.
What did you have for breakfast today?
Today I just had avo and tomato on Vogel's toast.
Yes, it was lovely.
What's the obsession with Vogel's in this country?
People love it, don't they?
It's just incredibly good bread.
I think, I'm trying to think of the equivalent for our Aussie podcast listeners.
I think it's-
Oh, it'll be digi bread.
Huh?
Won't it be kangarooster bread or something?
Oh, shut up.
Or plantar loaf.
That is so racist.
Plantar loaf.
That's actually being racist.
Is it?
Yes.
Is it britty, britty, britty, britty bongo?
I think it would be helges.
Oh, yeah. It's helges. Is it a dense bread? Yeah. Yeah, pretty, pretty, pretty bongo? I think it would be Helges. Oh, yeah.
It's Helges.
Is it a dense bread?
Yeah.
It looks similar to Vogel's.
I still want to know because obviously –
Wait, before we move on, Vogel's question, then we move on.
Yeah.
What sort of Vogel's do you get?
I don't care about the flavour.
Oh, the toast size.
Is that what you mean?
Yeah, you have to train toast.
What about the giant size slices?
They're weird. Yeah, that's the toast one, right? The thick one. Yeah, thick. mean? Yeah, you have to train toast. What about the giant size slices? They're weird.
Yeah, that's the toast one, right?
The thick one.
Yeah, thick.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Make your way, honestly.
Really?
Join me at Very Thin.
Really?
I was a thick daddy too.
But make your way down to Very Thin.
Change your life.
I don't know if our show's ever been more boring.
Trust me, your loaf lasts twice as long.
Oh, does it?
Oh, it would do.
It's the same size, smallest.
That makes sense.
It's maths, yes.
Plus calorie curbing.
Okay.
All right, no, sorry.
Sorry that bored you.
You better hit us with the most exciting topic straight off us.
Your turn.
No, it better be good.
You hadn't finished the question.
I said that every dad in every family always has like one go-to meal that they can cook.
I think that's quite interesting.
You said cheese on toast.
And banana sandwiches.
And banana sandwiches.
What's yours, Ellie?
Do you know my dad is actually the cook in the family?
Like he is good at everything.
Right, so it's your mum then.
Yes.
What is her go-to then?
She's good at things too.
No, she is.
She is.
Oh, they do quite a variety.
I can't actually pick a meal, to be honest.
Yeah.
Well, that doesn't help.
I'm sorry.
I've ruined this question.
You're such a fence-sitter in life, aren't you?
You are, by the way.
And please don't take offense.
No, I'm not.
Don't take offense.
You are.
You overthink the answer.
I'm very diplomatic.
It's like producer Ben playing the age game.
Oh, my God.
That's a punishment.
She's just as bad.
I know she's just as bad.
Yeah.
She's terrible.
What's your dad's go-to meal?
It literally is on Christmas Day, Easter morning, his go-to.
Those are the two times he cooks.
Pretty much.
Anytime we're all there, he will, on a weekend, cook the best big breakfast cook-up ever.
Oh yeah.
That's the only thing he cooks.
On the barbecue?
Not usually.
No, sometimes.
But, yeah, usually just, like, I'm talking roast tomatoes, bacon, salami,
eggs, bread, hash browns, like just the whole lot.
Coffee.
Coffee.
He does all the coffee.
He usually does a big pot of tea.
And then he stands back out like real dad.
He does.
But he does a very good job.
And he looks at your mum and he's like, huh?
And she's like, thank you, Steve.
You're so good, Steve, even though I've cooked every meal for every fucking day.
And I don't stand back and ask you what you thought of it.
Yeah, exactly.
Just watch you inhale it, usually.
Speaking of, my dad always makes tea in
this massive it's like a someone actually made it out of pottery this teapot the teapot is so
fucking heavy on its own that when you put tea in it you actually can't pick it up oh what's the
so my dad has to be the only one who pours tea for everyone it's like a thing it's about as useful
as a chocolate teapot literally i'm like dad what's the point of this damn teapot?
It's so ugly too.
All right.
What else do you want to say?
Who made it?
Is it offensive to someone?
Mum, get rid of the damn teapot.
I hate that thing.
Here's today's podcast, everybody.
Like we said, the first day of isolation for New Zealand.
We're in lockdown.
Oh, no, that's Ace's Locked Up, doesn't he?
What does he say?
The Acorn song.
He goes, locked up, they won't let me out, Locked up, they won't let me out.
Locked down, they won't let me out.
Locked down, they won't let me out.
Damn, we sound so good, they're going to sue us for copyright.
Have a good podcast and stay safe, everybody.
See you soon.
Bye.
Hey Google, what's the time?
It's 3pm, give or take a minute.
Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio.
Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.
Hey Siri, Winnebree and Clint on.
Bree and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Good afternoon, New Zealand on lockdown.
First day of isolation, How are you all feeling?
How's everything going?
Have you eaten all your snacks like we have?
I know I'm already out.
Are you sick of your flatmates yet?
I've eaten the biggest box of Nutri-Grain I've ever seen.
And I don't know where it's gone.
I know where it's gone.
Well, into my stomach.
But I keep having late night Nutri-Grain.
Yeah, why?
I just love that sugar head.
And right before bed.
It's not good for you at that time.
That's probably why I've been staying up till like one in the morning.
Isn't it crazy?
The news is still surreal to me,
hearing that 360 people landed at Auckland International Airport today.
Like, that's it.
360 people total.
That's less than one plane full of people.
I actually saw a Facebook post from a woman
who used to work at our business but
she and her partner
left and went overseas I think a little while
ago, about a year ago.
I was following her on Facebook
and she was talking about how they were trying to get home
because they were living over there
but they were like, we want to be at home
in New Zealand. Anyway,
they got home yesterday morning or maybe the morning before.
Don't quote me on that.
Yeah, pretty recently.
And she said, for anyone who's wondering,
apparently security at the airport, they are checking people
and they are checking them twice and three times.
Yeah.
So it's like hectic there at the airport.
I wonder if the relay is still open
so you can get a really expensive bottle of smart water
on your way through.
Or the wishbone, is the wishbone still open
so you can get yourself a nice hot beef stroganoff?
She literally at the end goes,
one of the most concerning things was that
duty free wasn't open.
Yeah, right.
And wasn't able to pick up some alcohol.
You could have got some straight vodka
for hand sanitiser. Did you
hear the news today that Prince Charles
has COVID-19? Yeah, I saw that last
night that he's been diagnosed and that the
Queen has gone into self-quarantine.
Oh yeah, he has to stay
away from the Queen and Prince Philip.
I mean, how old's the Queen now? She's in her
90s. In her 90s. Mid-90s.
94, I want to say.
I'm not sure.
He's 71.
Prince Charles is 71.
He's 71.
He's quarantined with Camilla, who doesn't have COVID.
I'm like, man, get her out of there.
Why would she want to stick around?
She must love him.
She must really.
That's love, isn't it?
Or he's paying her.
Yeah, one of the two.
But anyway,
as the news comes out,
we will continue
to bring it to you today.
Also,
the huge news today
that the Christchurch gunman
in the mosque attacks,
whose names we will not say,
whose name we will not say,
pleaded guilty.
So those people
and their families
do not have to go through
a trial.
He's pleaded guilty
and that's done and dusted.
He'll be sentenced soon.
And thank God for that.
Yep.
You know, thank God that those people don't have to go through anything else.
So that's good news.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, today on the show, we're just going to have a bit of fun with you.
We're going to try and do that throughout the show with all our usual games.
We've got $500 of mobile fuel to give away.
Oh, yeah.
Which is like a million dollars at the moment because you can't even use it.
You have to go through me, though.
I'm like a gladiator.
You're going to have to come through this gladiator to get it.
If you want it, you have to defeat Bree in What's the Plot.
We'll play that game just before 5 o'clock.
This, though, is brand-new music that just dropped from Dua Lipa.
It's called Break My Heart.
Bree and Clint, ZM.
I've always been the one to say the...
Bree and Clint.
I thought we could play a bit of a game this afternoon.
Yes.
Maybe someone can call through if you're listening right now.
0800 dial ZM.
But we need a bit of, you know, game show music, I think.
Do we have any of that?
Oh, yeah, I can find you some game show music.
Just like the generic one that we play?
Because I found this list of...
Nothing we do is generic.
I found this list of famous people that it was pretty much titled
Famous People You Didn't Know Used to Be Athletes.
And I thought we could just play a bit of a game and stuff.
Okay, how does the game work?
Pretty much, I'm going to give you a famous person
and then you have to decide whether or not that person
had a past as an athlete.
Oh, okay.
Like if they were an athlete at some point in their, you know,
before they were famous.
Like me.
Yeah, like you, yeah.
I told you about that indoor netball season I played.
That's right, yeah.
Is that how you dislocated your finger?
No, that was rugby.
A whole season of indoor netball undefeated, though.
Yeah, I mean.
Undefeated for a whole season.
You've got to put that trophy on the. I mean, the guy shooting for us was 6'11", but, you know, it was still a good indoor netball undefeated though. Yeah, I mean... Undefeated for a whole season. You've got to put that trophy on the...
I mean, the guy shooting for us was 6'11",
but, you know, it was still a good indoor netball season.
He wouldn't have even been shooting it.
He would have just been putting it in the net.
He was placing it in.
It was wonderful.
Yeah, okay, we've got someone to play.
Jacob's here.
Hi, Jacob.
All right, Jacob.
Hey, how you going?
Good.
Are you ready to play?
Yeah.
All right, I'm just going to give you the famous person,
then you just have to tell me whether or not
you think they had a past as an athlete, okay? Okay, brilliant. Let's go. All right, I'm just going to give you the famous person, then you just have to tell me whether or not you think they had a past
as an athlete, okay?
Okay, brilliant.
Let's go.
All right, let's go.
Let's play.
Here we go.
The first one is John Goodman.
John Goodman.
I'd say he's not an athlete.
What do you think, Clint?
So would I, not an athlete.
Not an athlete?
Locking it in?
Yeah.
Locking it in, yeah.
You're both wrong.
Oh, what? Locking it in Yeah Locking it in Yeah You're both wrong Oh what In his early
High school years
And also into college
He was very focused
On football
And was going to
Have a career
And he actually
Had a scholarship
To Southwest Missouri
State University
Right
He does look like
A prop for the spring box
In the 1980s I guess
Yeah right
Okay cool
Give us another one
Alright here comes
Famous person number two.
It's Madonna.
Madonna.
Bit of Madonna.
What do you think, Jacob?
I'd say not an athlete.
Not an athlete.
Not a past.
She's been famous her whole life.
She had no time to be an athlete.
Exactly.
You're both right.
There's no information on her ever dabbling in sports.
Yeah, well done, Jacob.
We're great at this.
Nice work, Jacob.
All right, here comes your next one.
Do a leaper.
All night, I'm riding with you.
I know you got my back.
I got you from Cuba.
She's flexible.
She is flexible.
Say, lock in a knot and athlete.
Are you going to lock it in?
She's got a pole vaulter's body.
She does got a, yeah, she does.
She's got a pole vaulter or a high jumper's body.
She could definitely be a high jumper.
Not that I've paid an enormous amount of attention to her body or anything.
But now me and Jacob are in this together.
We're going to say not an athlete.
All right, not an athlete.
Yep, you'd be right.
There's no info out there about Dua Lipa being an athlete.
All right, here comes famous person number four, Jason Statham.
Yeah, yeah, Jacob.
Definitely, definitely, definitely an athlete.
Jason Statham was an Olympic diver.
He was.
He was an Olympic diver.
He actually was in the British National Diving Team for 12 years.
Yeah, he went to the Olympics and stuff.
He's so attractive, that guy.
Hottest bald guy in the world.
Do it all.
All right, you guys are doing pretty well.
What about Friends star Matthew Perry?
Was he ever an athlete?
That's a hard one.
What do you think, Jacob?
I'm going to say not an athlete for that one.
He might have gone to the Winter Olympics.
I know he likes the snow.
Nah, we're together.
Not an athlete.
You'd both be wrong
because before Chandler played in the
sitcom Friends, he was actually
a nationally ranked tennis player
in Canada.
There you go, right?
Right, okay.
Isn't that crazy?
Do you want one more?
Yeah, well, we need one more to find out if we win or not
because we're two from four.
Okay, perfect.
Here comes the tiebreaker, Avril Lavigne.
Yeah, she was a skater boy.
No, she got with a skater boy. Oh, right, right, right, right. He was a skater boy. No, she got with a skater boy.
Oh, right, right, right, right.
He was a skater boy.
He was a skater boy, but what was Avril?
Was she ever an athlete before she did Complicated?
What sport could she possibly play, Jacob?
What do you think?
Oh, mate, I'm going to say she's an athlete,
but I've got no idea.
I'm going to say athletics, maybe. You're just playing got no idea. I'm going to say athletics, maybe.
You're just playing the averages.
Just so you know, if it helps,
none of the musicians so far have been athletes.
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
So do we go with the trend or is this to buck the trend?
No, no.
Okay, you changed me.
I'll go with the trend.
So I'm saying she's not an athlete.
I wasn't trying to convince you.
There's a lot of deliberation right now, isn't there?
Okay, we've got to lock this in.
Are we saying not an athlete?
Not an athlete.
Avril Lavigne is not an athlete.
Lock it in.
Jacob, you should have went with your gut.
She was an athlete.
You've done me dirty.
Yeah.
What sport?
Clint, you led him astray.
No, we were a team.
We're a team.
She's Canadian,
so obviously she's been on the ice for a long time.
She played in a lot of hockey teams and played in a lot of high-level hockey teams like her brothers.
How high-level?
How high-level?
I feel like she went skating once and you've used that to snoop.
Hey, she said that she dated a skater boy, so it makes sense.
Ah, well, Jacob, not our game, mate.
You did well, Jacob.
Yeah, yeah, we tried, mate.
We tried. Where are you isolated? I'm actually an essential worker, not our game, mate. You did well, Jacob. Yeah, yeah, we tried, mate, we tried.
Where are you isolated?
I'm actually an essential worker,
so I'm heading in to grab my uniform at the moment
and work tomorrow.
Good man, good to talk to you.
Cheers, Jacob.
Bree and Clint.
Time for a round of Quarantine Cluedo.
A game where we guess...
What room of your house are you in right now?
We get to talk like we're professors.
Well, I'm going to talk like I'm a professor.
I forgot about that bit.
That's what we're doing.
I love to talk like I'm a professor.
First, welcome to the show, special guest in quarantine Cluedo today,
our very own producer Ben.
Hey, mate.
G'day, guys.
Oh, yes, Benjamin from Christchurch.
Ben has put himself in isolation and has been for a few days now for health reasons.
How's being stuck in your own house going, mate?
Oh, it's good, mate.
I can enjoy a beer any time I want.
It's quite nice.
Is your girlfriend there, Ben?
She is there, but she's downstairs.
I mean, she's somewhere else.
Oh, you've given something away. Okay, I've been but she's downstairs. I mean, she's somewhere else. Oh!
You've given something away.
Okay, I've been to Ben's house.
Okay, there's not many rooms upstairs.
No, upstairs there's only a lounge.
There's the toilet.
A toilet.
Yeah, that singular toilet.
There's a kitchen and a balcony.
Balcony.
Okay, now we get to ask our questions.
We can hear if he's on the balcony.
Ben, how are you, man?
I'm good.
No, he's inside.
Okay.
He's definitely inside.
That wasn't my question, by the way.
I get to ask one question.
Ben, are your feet on a hard or soft surface right now?
Hard.
Hard.
Yeah, but it's tiles and then his apartment's wood floor.
Oh, is it?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Damn it, I thought they had carpet in the lounge.
No, I'm pretty sure they don't.
All right, well, my question sucks.
You go.
Ben, would you say you enjoy the smell in the room that you're in?
Yes.
He's in the kitchen.
Kitchen or lounge room or is it lounge room? He's in the kitchen.
Okay.
Ben, are you in the kitchen?
I am in the kitchen, yes.
Ew, what are you eating? Nutri- am in the kitchen, yes. What are you eating?
Nutri-Grain? Yeah, I'm eating Nutri-Grain. I only eat that when I'm in bed. Good from
you. All right, producer Ben in quarantine, but meant to still be working. Weird that
he's having a beer. Noah, welcome to Quarantine Cluedo. It's Noah. Hello. How's the ark?
What?
Okay, Noah, where are you isolated?
What part of the country?
I'm down in North Canterbury.
You're down in North Canterbury.
I would have thought you were up in North Canterbury.
But, yep, here we go.
The room that you're in at the moment,
do you spend more than an hour a day in it?
Yeah.
Noah, the room that you're in, is there ceiling fans?
No.
That includes extractor fans?
Yeah.
No.
Okay, so he's not in a kitchen or a bathroom?
No.
Okay, so... And he spends more kitchen or a bathroom? No. Okay, so...
And he spends more than an hour in there a day.
To be honest, Canterbury, not super hot.
Probably no ceiling fans in bedrooms down there.
No, we don't generally have many of those at all.
Yeah, well, that question was...
Anywhere in New Zealand.
That question was superfluous then, wasn't it?
Noah, are you in Brisbane?
Noah?
No.
I reckon... Do you know how to say bedroom? Yeah, he's in the bedroom. He's in the bedroom. Yeah, Noah, are you in Brisbane? Noah? No. I reckon, I reckon,
do you know how to say bedroom? Yeah, he's in the bedroom.
He's in the bedroom. Yeah, Noah, are you in your bedroom?
Yeah. Oh,
got him. Got him. Two from two.
Let's go for the three-peat. Blaze,
welcome to the show. Hi, Blaze.
Hi. Hi, can you turn
that radio down for us, buddy?
Okay. How old are you, Blaze?
I turned 14 on the 16th.
How are you feeling?
How's self-quarantine?
Annoying.
Annoying.
Yeah, right.
What do you miss the most?
My boyfriend.
Oh.
Okay, let's get this done.
The room that you're in at the moment, is there a TV?
Yes. Oh, well, it's got to be the living room. Or bedroom at the moment, is there a TV? Yes.
Oh, well, it's got to be the living room.
Or bedroom.
Or bedroom, or true.
Okay, how am I going to eliminate this?
Oh, ask him if he's a ceiling fan.
Blaze.
Yeah.
Um, would you say that you do most of your sleeping in this room?
Yes.
Yeah, okay. It's a bedroom. Blaze, are you in this room? Yes. Yeah, okay.
It's a bedroom.
Blaise, are you in the bedroom?
Yeah.
I kind of cheated.
Yeah, you did.
You were asking, it's like if I asked the question,
Blaise, do you cook dinner in this room?
Well, to be honest, I sleep a lot in the lounge room,
so it's 50-50.
Yeah, and in the driveway as well.
Okay, that's Quarantine Cluedo.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest
live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, tell
us what's going on with you over there at the moment.
What's up
guys? Yeah, look, I mean, we're just
enjoying staying away
from everyone, which I hope everyone in New Zealand
is as well. So that's the goal.
I saw the president over there said that
he wants this whole thing over in two weeks.
He wants people in the churches by Easter.
Yeah, he wants everyone back to work, business as usual
by Easter, but with the
alarming rate of some of the things I read today
about New York City in particular,
I don't think that that is a
reasonable time frame.
I mean, everyone wants that,
but that's not the reality of the situation, is it?
Yeah, exactly.
Not all of us have a reality show orange president
who says these things on the public stage, you know?
It's a weird, weird time.
You guys are all locked down like us, Dean.
Like, you're not allowed to leave the home.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's called a stay at at home i think they call it because
essentially like a lockdown everything except for an essential business is closed everything
no hair salon everything except for essential businesses so and you're meant to basically be
at home yeah right okay um tell us what's the latest with elton john super cool this is super super cool elton john is having a concert hold on hold on in his living
room for the world to see so you may know the i heart radio music awards are coming up so he has
um decided to it was going to be a big televised event of course he is going to host a concert
performing from his living room he will cross to mariah Carey, Billie Eilish, the Backstreet Boys.
He's got some big names on this.
The cute thing is this, right?
Everyone will be shooting it on their own phone to obviously minimize.
At first you'd think, oh, they're going to send the big camera crews
to Mariah Carey's house.
Nope, it's all going to be a little selfie-style thing,
and he will cross to all of the different megastars in their own homes.
And, of course, people will be able to donate as well
to the different causes supporting coronavirus
and the people that are affected.
That's so weird because I am literally having a concert at my house tonight
with wine, lots of wine, and a towel around my head.
So maybe I can join in.
A selfie-filmed concert.
Mariah Carey will hate this.
She'll be spending the whole time trying to get her angles.
Where's my hair and makeup?
Yeah, right?
But very cool idea.
Yeah.
And you're going to see
more and more of this stuff pop up
as the world gets more creative
and more resourceful
because things have got to happen.
Yeah.
Performers have got to perform
and companies have got to make money too.
So you're going to see
lots of things like this
pop up over time too.
I'm looking forward to that,
especially seeing as I missed
half the Elton John concert
when he was here. So that'll
be like special compensation.
Thank you Dean McCarthy. Thanks Dean. He's our
Hollywood correspondent. He's live from
lockdown in Palm Springs, California
at the moment.
Today, New Zealand has recorded
its highest data usage
ever. Chorus has come out
and said we've never used this much data
in a day ever with
everybody working from home that's probably just me to be honest well yeah well people like you
scrolling on your phone all day and me who am i who am i i was gonna say what are you doing
what are you um i've got a couple of theories on this because the internet is slow for a lot
of people because there's so many people on it does everything need to be a video call
like all of us and everyone's gone this is on it. Does everything need to be a video call?
Like all of a sudden everyone's gone, this is how we work now.
We're getting on a Zoom call or we're getting on a Microsoft Google Land phone bill.
Like can you just pick up the phone sometimes and ring someone?
I guess you can, can't you?
Yeah.
So we could save some internet that way.
Netflix have also come out and said that they are reducing.
Can you tell my flatmates that? Because I'm trying to watch Netflix in the morning and they're just
on their blood. You know, they're trying to do work.
It's really annoying. Well, Netflix are trying to help
the situation and to
lighten the load on our
ISPs, our internet service providers.
Don't pretend like you know what all this stuff
means. I know what I mean. They've reduced...
On the 840, 920p.
Yeah, exactly right. They've reduced from 1080p
to 720p.
See, I know what I'm talking about. They've reduced the bitrate.
So your Netflix might look a bit
crappy going forward,
but it's to help the human race
or some shit. So don't keep
reloading or refreshing.
It's going to be like that. My stream
was fine. I was watching Amazon Prime.
That's what I was watching.
Okay, fancy.
No, you get a seven-day free trial.
Oh, is that what you've gotten recently?
Yeah, a seven-day free trial on Amazon Prime so I can watch Fleabag.
Anyway, all of this leads to a list that I've got here
of Netflix shows that they've just announced
are getting a new season.
Do you want to know about this?
Oh, yeah.
I was devastated to hear.
It probably is on the list
because you would have the cancelled
ones too, wouldn't you? I've got one cancelled one.
Not the... I was so devastated
the Santa Clarita diet got cancelled.
The one with Drew Barrymore.
I know. I don't have that on my list.
But AJ and the Queen, the RuPaul show.
Is that coming back? Oh! Cancelled.
Well, thanks for
ruining my afternoon. Don't start that show.
Like, if you haven't watched it yet, don't bother.
To be honest, that's...
Because you'll just set yourself up for failure.
Well, that's true.
To be honest, I really enjoyed that show,
but I've never seen a worse ending of a TV show for a season.
Maybe that's why they said no more.
It was a terrible ending.
They're like, you don't deserve another season.
Shows that are coming back, The Circle, got two more seasons.
Oh, well, that's a no-brainer, isn't it?
That's the reality show where they live in the apartment building
and they can only communicate by social media.
Oh, my God, it's like real life right now.
I was going to say, you can just film us now from home.
We are The Circle.
Well, you know what else this is like?
If you're dating at the moment, it is literally like Love is Blind.
Love is Blind got two more seasons.
Yeah, that's not surprising.
They filmed that Love is Blind show at the beginning of 2018
and we're only watching it now.
How long does it take to edit that show?
Nah, it's been around.
I think it didn't get picked up by Netflix until recently.
They just bought it. Right. Yeah, so I think maybe
they filmed it and no one really cared and then Netflix
was like, we'll whack that on. And now it's done really well.
And then some things, by virtue of the algorithm,
worked their way up and it blew up
so Nick Lachey gets another
show. He literally was on
three episodes. Nick Lachey. He doesn't
do much, I'm not going to lie. Anyway, they get
two more seasons. Tidying
Up with Marie Kondo is getting a new season.
Oh yeah, that was so big, wasn't it? That show
changed my life. Still haven't watched it.
It changed my life. I've
got a whole new way of folding and stacking t-shirts.
Yeah, that's helpful.
It is helpful.
Especially right now.
Marie Kondo, Tidying Up With Marie Kondo is a great show to watch at the moment.
To be honest, I'd need to watch it if you saw my wardrobe.
Well, now's the time, mate.
You've got nothing but free time to Marie Kondo your house.
I threw out a few things this morning, actually.
And Queer Eye's back.
Queer Eye got two more seasons.
Oh, yeah, cool.
Queer Eye's the best shower Eye got two more seasons. Oh yeah, cool. Queer Eye's the best show
on Netflix
in my opinion.
It's just like a feel good
like just so wholesome
and just so much love
in that show
which is lovely.
So they get season four
and five
and season four
the first new season
will be out this July.
Oh cool.
So there you go.
What about Cheer?
Cheer?
Oh I hope there's another
season of that.
Cheer would be a hard one because they followed that team
over a long period of time.
12 months, wasn't it?
Yeah, I guess they could go back to the same school and do it again.
Do it again.
No, they should do the one.
You know how they had the rival school?
Do the rival school.
Oh, that would be good.
It'd be like Bring It On and you do like the Clovers
and then you do the French Hill Heights.
Oh, they should do another Bring It On.
They've done another Bring It On. It wasn't a clovers and then you do the... Oh, they should do another bring it on. They've done another bring it on.
It wasn't a good idea.
They should do it right.
Bree and Clint.
Today is the first day of the stage four lockdown in New Zealand.
The single greatest change as a society that our generation has ever had to face.
Yeah, it is a full on thing to wrap your head around, isn't it?
And to be honest, even last
night, because I waited up
for midnight. Did you? A bit of a
I told you to treat it like New Year's Eve. Isolation
celebration. Anyway
What did you do at the stroke of midnight?
I didn't really mean to. I just
remember looking at the clock and it was 11.58
and I was like, one minute,
one minute, is there anything I want to do in one minute?
I was like, nah, I'm just going to stay here.
Yeah, well, right choice.
Well done.
They're going to go around the country now
and check in with people
and just see what your situation's like.
How are you handling it?
AJ's calling in from Auckland
and you're not on lockdown.
You're an essential worker, AJ.
Yeah, mate.
What do you do?
I'm a fire alarm service supervisor.
Right.
Right.
Which, I mean, more important now than ever
that fire alarms are in working order, right?
Exactly.
So it's a good excuse for me to drive around,
make sure people are safe and all that kind of stuff.
Have you been...
Oh, excuse me.
Into my elbow.
Have you been stopped by a police officer yet?
No, not yet, actually.
I've seen them out, though.
Yeah.
Do you have, like, official papers and stuff for when you do get pulled over?
We do.
Bree and I have to carry this letter with us that says we're legally allowed to be out there on the road.
To go to and from, yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, I've got the same thing on my dashboard.
Yeah, right.
Okay, cool.
And you're handling everything okay?
Yeah, I'm all good so far. Just that money's kind of tight, but we'll get there. Yeah, right. Okay, cool. And you're handling everything okay? Yeah, I'm all good so far.
Yeah.
Just the money's kind of tight
but we'll get there.
Yeah.
Well, thanks for calling through,
AJ.
Call the show anytime.
Let's talk to Phillip.
Hey, Phillip.
G'day, Phillip.
G'day, how's it going?
Not too bad.
How are you feeling, Phillip?
Where are you?
Well, I'm in Christchurch.
I've been working today
as usual, you know,
working at the local
freezing works.
Been boning a bit of beef out today.
Yeah.
What are the changes like for you guys?
Like, do you have to have larger working stations or anything like that at the moment?
We've actually probably cut off about half the staff,
and we're sort of trying to keep the two metres distance.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
And who do you live with? What's your home situation like? Oh, I've got keep the two metres distance. Yeah. Yeah, right. And who do you live with?
What's your home situation like?
Oh, I've got a wife and two kids.
Yeah.
They're at home.
They're all isolating.
How are they finding everything?
Nothing, they're going all right.
Yeah, pretty good.
Yeah.
There's part of this for kids, and I don't know
because I don't have any kids that are old enough,
but I reckon at the start it might be kind of exciting.
Like it might be like a new journey.
Mum and Dad are home more often. You're allowed to
watch more TV. Like that side of it could be
kind of fun. I don't know if it's the same for the
parents. Yeah, well my kids
aren't actually kids actually. They're actually
grown up a bit. Oh, I was
going to say, Philip, a good
technique that you could use, hide
chocolate around the house and it'll keep them busy for hours.
Probably still works for adult kids, to be honest.
Yeah, that works for all ages.
Yeah, for sure.
Call ahead and get your wife to hide some chocolate for you, Philip.
Yeah.
Good to talk to you, mate.
Thanks for calling us up.
Yeah, thanks.
All right, and let's talk to Andrew.
Hey, Andrew.
Hi, Andy.
How's it, Andrew?
How's it, Andrew? How's it, Andrew?
Yes.
Again.
You always call us, don't you, Andrew?
Yes, I do.
Well, I can learn the shit out of you.
Lovely to have you back on the show, Andrew.
What are you up to, Andrew?
Where are you at the moment?
I am in Linwood, heading towards Wainani in Christchurch.
So you're working too? Yep.
What do you do for a job, Andrew?
I'm a truck driver. Oh, right.
And obviously that doesn't stop.
People need stuff and you need to
be transporting it, so.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, well, I've actually finished for the day and I actually
managed to finish early for once.
Yeah, wow. Well, that's a plus then.
This is the interesting thing.
This show may now exclusively be being listened to by essential workers
because they might be the only ones in their cars.
How pissed off are you, Andrew, that Secret Sound isn't this week?
Because it's so easy for you guys to get through.
There's no one else calling up.
Yeah, I know.
It's like, oh, I wish they'd do it because
I think Lotto's closed at the moment.
I think Lotto's going to a digital
draw so they won't do the TV one.
They'll do a computer generated thing. That's what I
know about it anyway.
I might have to check when I go to the packing safe.
Yeah, right. Yeah, go have a look.
See you Andy. I mean Andrew. Yeah, good to talk to you mate.
See you Andrew. Everyone seems like they're in good spirits at the moment.
That's good.
Also, I just want to give a shout out because I ask people where they're actually listening to us from
because people aren't really meant to be on the roads.
A lot of people are in tractors.
A lot of farmers in tractors.
Yeah.
I wonder if they're in the John Deere's or the Lamborghini's.
I wonder what they're in.
Or the, what's the Chinese one?
The Kabuta. Yeah. I wonder what they're kicking. Or the, what's the Chinese one? The Kabuta.
Yeah.
I wonder what they're kicking around in.
Shout out to all the tractor drivers anyway.
We're looking for a morale boosting request to play on the show every day,
suggested by you guys.
What have we played so far?
We played a bit of Whitney Houston yesterday, which was amazing.
We've played Poirier.
Yeah, that was awesome.
There's a third one as well, which
doesn't come to mind straight away. But that's
okay. They're not following any particular theme
at the moment. It's just what you guys want and what
you're feeling like you need at the time.
Here are today's suggestions from
you guys on the text machine. Backstreet
Boys.
Topical, right?
We need everybody
to stay at home.
Stop trying to make everything relevant.
Okay, what about a suggestion for S Club 7?
S Club 7.
No party like an ISO party.
Because you can only have seven people in your party at the moment?
Seven or less. people in your party at the moment. Seven or less.
Everybody in the ice soul party.
We've had a really good throwback request for some Kelly Clarkson.
Emotional.
Oh, that's a good song.
Always reminds me of Caitlin, that song.
And then a request for DJ Sammy, which has got a backstory.
Yeah, there's someone that texted through
and they said that they wanted a bit of DJ Sammy
because that was the first song that they danced to together.
Oh.
Which is very cool.
What, this is your wedding song?
I think just in general when they first met.
Oh.
Yeah.
I thought you meant like your first dance.
No, shout out to... And Grandma's on the edge of the dance floor waiting when she comes in.
Shout out to Zoe in Wellington.
What do we play?
Are we going to play Backstreet Boys, East Club 7, Kelly Clarkson or DJ Sammy?
Oh, God.
I feel like it's Kelly Clarkson.
Is it a bit too slow?
It's got an uplifting moment in it.
If you think it's Kelly Clarkson, you're feeling it.
Well, what else?
What are the other options?
What is another frontrunner?
What were the other ones you said?
Rack Street Boys.
S Club.
Or DJ Sammy.
What is Produce Eilish?
No, think for yourself
I mean, I feel like it's Backstreet Boys
But I don't want it to just be about me
Producer Ellie should have a vote
Okay, Ellie, it's a split vote
What's our morale boosting request today?
Oh, this is tough
Like, I always find myself singing Breakaway
But I know what you mean, Brie, about it's a little bit slow
It just does bring the mood down
Or maybe it is the Backstreet Boys breakaway, but I know what you mean, Brie, about it's a little bit slow. Just does bring the mood down. Or
maybe it is the Backstreet
Boys. Maybe it's the lads.
The boys. The boys, yeah.
Literally, the boys.
Here you go, New Zealand.
Yeah, this is a great song.
Your morale-boosting song
for Thursday and our first day of
isolation. Zing him! Oh my god, we're back again Brothers, sisters, everybody's saying

Backstreet's back, alright. Thanks for anyone listening to Zillium and Attractor today.
It's the Backstreet Boys.
I don't have a cough, I just choked on a corn chip.
Nah, lock her up.
Lock her up.
Bree and Clint.
I was sitting at home last night and I was thinking,
okay, first night we're all going into lockdown.
What can I do to like help people like obviously interact
with their friends and other people other than the people
that they're isolated with, especially if you live alone
or if you live just with your partner.
Like it's going to get pretty boring.
And also you feel real lonely.
I like how you compare living alone to living with your partner.
Those are the two worst options.
Well, you said it before.
When you went on your honeymoon, there's only so much you can talk about.
I'm not disagreeing with you.
Anyway, so I thought I remembered a few games that I used to play back in the day
which I felt like were even just a little bit different than even texting someone
because it feels like you're actually
interacting with them because you're playing a game.
Yeah.
So I've come up with a list of apps and I'd love to hear
other people's suggestions also on 9696.
These are all games that you can download and your friends can download
and you can actually play games through the app with each other.
Cool.
So the first one, it's the classic. Everyone's played it.
Words with Friends, but there's a Words with Friends 2 now.
Right.
So there's an updated version, which is very cool.
I downloaded it last night.
Quite fun.
I've probably got a game still going with someone in that app.
Probably.
You probably would.
And if they've still got the app,
maybe we could just send them a notification.
Yeah, pick it up.
Just pick up where we left off.
Yeah, how fun would that be?
Anyway, another game that I used to play,
if trivia is what you want to be, you know, kind of in and around,
a bit of knowledge, Trivia Crack is an app that I used to use
and essentially it's got a bunch of different categories
like science, history, sports, that kind of thing.
So like an app version of Trivial Pursuit?
Kind of, yeah, but you pretty much verse someone head to head
and you take it in turns to spin the wheel and answer questions.
That's good, yeah.
What's it called?
Trivia Crack.
Trivia Crack.
Another game that I used to play, we were talking about this yesterday,
it's called Draw and Guess Multiplayer,
which essentially the idea of the game,
so say I connected up with you, you were at your house,
I was at my house.
I got given a word or a thing and I have to draw it
and then it sends the picture of it to you
and you have to guess what it is.
Oh, yeah.
It's a great game for bad drawers.
Yeah, right.
Anyway, you get points for it and it's kind of fun depending
on how old you are
or how good of a drawer you are.
But that one's called Drawing Guest Multiplayer.
This is a throwback and I was obsessed with this game as a kid
and it does cost $4.99 so you have to be sure that you want it
and your friends want it.
But Worms 2 Armageddon is an app now on the phone.
Oh.
Which I loved that game. I remember Worms. Yeahageddon is an app now on the phone. Oh. Which I loved that game.
I remember Worms.
Yeah.
Did you love it?
Yeah.
I'm trying to remember how the game worked.
Was it kind of like Lemings?
I've never played that.
Right.
What do you do?
Essentially you've got all these little worm characters around on the board
and you use like weapons or certain tools and stuff
to eliminate the other player's worms.
Right, right, right. It's quite fun.
Anyway, so that's an old school throwback if you want to get into that.
Facebook Messenger has heaps of free games,
which is quite cool, like Pac-Man and other things like that.
I'm not sure if you can connect with people with those ones.
Yeah, you can.
Remember the basketball one?
That's right, yeah.
So that's always a good idea.
And then obviously one of my go-to apps is the Monopoly app.
Oh, Monopoly app.
It is so good.
And you can connect with people.
Is it full Monopoly or is it Monopoly Deal?
Full Monopoly.
Yeah, right.
I don't think there's a Monopoly Deal app version yet.
But Monopoly's really good.
No one can see you having a tantrum when you don't get your way
if you're playing via the app.
And no one is stealing money from the bank on the app, are they?
Yeah, that's good.
Yeah, so they're some of the games that I've come up with.
I've just invented a game.
Yeah?
What's the game?
Damn it, why have I invented it now?
There's no one around to develop it for me.
I was going to say there's plenty of people to play it.
It's called, you can just play this without the app,
but I feel like if I get the app out there I could be a millionaire.
It's called Guess That Body Part.
And you take a real close-up photo of one of your body parts,
and then you upload it to the game, and then it's multi-choice,
and I have to guess what that body part is.
I think people already play that, but it's on Tinder.
If you want any of those suggestions, a picture of all those is up
on our Instagram right now, at Brinkland.
You know how you can make the inside of your elbow? Yes, I know the elbow thing.
Look like a hairy bum crack?
Yes, I know.
Yeah.
Slash something else.
Guess that body part.
I'm going to be a millionaire.
I had a dream.
Bree and Clint.
It dawned on me this morning that, you know,
as we're upon the first day of actual lockdown here in New Zealand
for four weeks, a lot of ladies out there, I reckon,
will not be wearing a bra for four weeks
for the first time in their adult life.
Right.
How liberating.
I know.
I don't understand enough about the do's and don'ts
and the needs and non-needs for bras,
but if you can, I imagine you want to go without?
It made me very jealous because obviously we have to come to work.
We're an essential service, which is great.
Yeah.
But then I was like, damn it, I'm not going to be able to take rejoice in not putting a bra on.
You also don't.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
That's there.
Yeah.
But you think about the positives.
You still get that wonderful feeling of taking it off at the end of the day.
That's true.
So you still get that.
I would rather just not wear it all day though.
Yeah, right.
But yeah, it is a good feeling.
Eight hours of suffering for one moment of euphoria.
It is a good feeling though.
I've written a few pros and cons and I've got a few from different people as well
about pros and cons of not wearing a bra during quarantine.
Cool, okay.
The first one is a pro, obviously.
Apparently, it's better for your boobs.
To not wear one?
Which, I mean, I think I've always known this.
Have you, Producer Ellie?
It's actually better to not wear a bra?
Why is it better?
They need to breathe or something?
Apparently, researchers have found that women who wear bras
had saggier boobs on an average than those who didn't.
Really?
Interesting.
Seems counterintuitive.
I always knew that and I'm not sure exactly.
God, they don't write that on the packet, do they?
No.
No, but apparently that is true.
Okay, cool.
A con to not wearing a bra, sometimes a little support is nice.
Sometimes, you know, you run into trouble,
especially when you're running.
Yes, yes.
I don't love not wearing a bra.
Where are you running?
You have to take off to the microwave.
I don't know.
Pro is definitely, and some might say this is a con,
but I'm saying it's a pro.
Bit of frip nip.
Oh, yeah, nice, yeah.
You like that. I don't mind it. a pro. Bit of fripnip. Oh, yeah. Nice, yeah. You like that.
I don't mind it. On you or on other people?
Either or.
Let's me know I'm alive.
A con.
Obviously, it's going to take
your relationships with your flatmates to the
next level. Yes, Alex
and Jordan this week have seen a lot
of my breasts. Have they? Yeah, I was
literally. We're talking about no bra, not the whole thing.
Oh, yeah.
We're talking about topless.
No, wait.
Have they seen a lot?
No, like it's just a bit see-through at times, I think.
Yeah, it is.
That happens to me too.
Yeah.
Are you setting a honey trap in your own flat?
Maybe.
Are you like, oh, hi guys.
Sorry, all this quarantine's got me all flustered
and I must have forgot to put my underwear on.
I tried to do the same thing and my flatmate
was like, I'm gay.
And my other
female one was like, I'm straight.
So it didn't work.
Where are we up to? Pro, it's definitely
comfort, not wearing
a bra. Even if
you've got big ones?
That's a good question.
I can't comment on that. No, I can't really either.
But I'd love to ask someone.
I definitely can't.
Yeah, you can't.
Nor would I ever endeavour to.
It is more comfortable if you're not doing exercise most of the time, though.
Con, there is the old nipple chafe.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Wear a nice shirt.
You could relate to that.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Runners get horrific. You could relate to that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Runners get horrific nipple chasing.
Yeah.
And the biggest con of the whole list of not wearing a bra during quarantine is there's less storage.
That's so true.
Brie and Clint.
Once upon a time, there was a girl.
She was smart,
debatable,
talented,
athletic.
Not really.
Picking a movie based on just the plotline?
That
she can do.
Brie and Clint's
What's the Plot?
Whoa. Okay, let's play What's the Plot for $500 and let's play with the Plot? Whoa.
Okay, let's play What's the Plot for $500
and let's play with Alex.
Hey, Alex.
Hi, Alex.
We've never played for this much mobile fuel before.
This is a record for our show.
Are you the person to take it off, Bree?
Oh, my God.
No pressure.
No, no, no, no.
Lots of pressure.
Like a serious amount of pressure.
Imagine the triumph if you do it, Alex. Oh, my God. Okay, no. Lots of pressure. Oh, yeah. Thanks. Like a serious amount of pressure. Imagine the triumph if you do it, Alex.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
Wow.
I doubt it because I'm here to play.
And Bree's goal is to get this to $1,000 as well.
So let's see how we go, okay?
Today, the theme for what's the plot.
Actually, I'll tell you in a second to give you less time to think about it.
Okay.
The rules.
Let's get those out there first.
It's best of three. Okay. The rules, let's get those out there first.
It's best of three.
Okay.
Your buzzer is your name, Alex.
You don't need to wait for me to finish the movie plot before you buzz in and have a go.
Okay?
Okay.
All right.
Today's theme, considering the circumstances that we're under,
is movies with pretty much one character in them.
Right.
Okay?
Okay. Here. Okay.
Here we go.
First movie.
Obsessively punctual courier driver Chuck is en route to an assignment when his vehicle crashes.
The sole survivor, Chuck,
washes ashore on a deserted island.
Bree.
It's Castaway.
Castaway is correct.
Welser!
Welser!
Welser!
Is his name Chuck?
Yeah.
I was saying it's not Chuck.
Did you know that, Alex?
I did not.
No, I had no idea.
Can you fact check that for us while we're doing this?
What is Tom Hanks' character's name in Castaway?
There you go.
Didn't know that.
That completely threw me off.
All I know is Wilson.
Yeah.
Wilson!
Wilson!
We've got Wilson on the studio.
We've got a Wilson here.
He's our friend.
He's our isolation friend.
Okay, Alex, I'm going to need you to pick it up here, okay?
Okay, okay.
Remember the theme, but don't let it distract you too much.
Just listen to the plot.
Okay.
Movie number two.
After selling their business and moving to Canada,
Santosh and Gita...
Bree.
Bree.
Oh!
Santosh.
God, what's the name of that damn movie?
I'm going to give you five, four, two.
Nah.
Got anything, Alex?
Free guess.
No, not even off the top of my head.
Give it a free guess, mate.
You'll kick yourself if you don't have a free guess.
Give me another clue. Is that the one where they're like doing the drag run? I don't know. Uh- mate. You'll kick yourself if you don't have a free guess. Give me another clue.
Is that the one where they're like doing the drag run?
I don't know.
I'll carry on.
I'll carry on.
Santosh and Gita board a freighter with their sons.
Tragedy strikes when a terrible storm sinks the ship,
leaving the Patel's teenage son as the only human survivor.
However, the son is not alone.
I know the movie.
A fearsome tiger has... Is this Life of Pi?
Buzz and Alex.
Alex, Life of Pi.
Shit, so you didn't buzz.
You said it and Brie did buzz but she didn't say it.
I did buzz eventually and said it.
After Brie had buzzed and you'd given her the answer.
That's a movie I thought it was.
Write it off.
No point.
No point for anybody.
You're lucky I've got backup movies.
Movie number three for point number two.
Robert is a brilliant scientist.
He is also a survivor of a man-made...
Brie.
I'm legend.
I am legend's correct.
I'm a survivor living in New York City.
I will be at the South Street seaport every day at midday
when the sun is highest in the sky.
Don't watch that movie.
Don't watch that movie.
Don't watch it right now, but it's a great film.
Sorry, Alex, you're not the person to take Brie down.
Sorry, Alex.
Oh, my gosh.
I should have got...
I debated at second point.
Well, even if you'd got it, you would have lost the next one. I would have won the next one. Fair enough, my gosh. I should have got a debate at second point. Well, even if you'd got it, you would have lost the next one.
I would have won the next one.
But I think, yeah, well, you definitely beat me in the second one.
Yeah, also.
What was that?
What was that?
What was that?
You know, I nearly cry every time I hear that.
Producer Ellie is the guy's name, is Tom Hanks' character name and cast away.
Chuck Nolan.
Chuck Nolan. Chuck Nolan.
Yeah.
How is that name Chuck Nolan so close to Chuck Norris?
Neither of which can be killed.
God, do you reckon smokers at the moment are rationing their cigarettes?
Yeah, bong and a blitz.
No, no, cigarettes.
Do you think they're rationing their cigarettes?
I don't think so because the stress of the situation,
you'd be literally, excuse the pun, chain smoking.
Yeah, you would.
You can get them at the servo, can't you?
Yeah, you can, but you have to leave your house for that.
And Jacinda has told us to behave as if we have COVID-19.
But to be honest, if I was addicted to smoking and I had COVID-19.
But they only have to go out once, buy a couple of packs,
and that should last them a little while.
Is there restrictions on how many packs of ciggies you can buy?
That's a good question.
There is at duty free.
Anyway, I've got some information here.
We know there's been panic buying going on,
and we know the messages shop normal.
That's what we need to do at the moment,
not because we need to preserve the food that we have,
but because we need to preserve the food that's on the shelf
because they can't restock fast enough and other people will miss out.
The thing you don't realise is that there is people
and there's elderly people who also can't afford it
and families that can't afford to just bulk buy everything.
So if you just bulk buy everything,
when those people go in to do their normal weekly shop,
there's nothing left.
You know this though.
You just need to be mature about it and put it into action.
Stop buying all the toilet paper.
I've got a list here of the supermarket products
that have gone up the most sales-wise in the last week.
Okay.
Since this whole thing really started getting real.
Toilet paper is one.
Pasta.
Believe it or not, toilet paper is not on the list.
It's not on the list. the list it's not on the list
yeah
it's not on the list
it's like we bought
all we needed
and then we're like
shit I've got too much
toilet paper
you're like
where do I put this
it actually takes up
so much room
it takes up so much room
and you can't use
more of it
like if you have
oh I can
well
to a degree
anyway let's go through
the things
it's quite a long list
but I'll start with
what's gone up the least
and we'll work towards the most.
Have a thing in your head about what you think the most increase has been.
I know what I've bought the most of.
What's that?
There's only really two things.
What?
And I don't even know why.
Alcohol and chocolate?
No.
Oh.
It was cereal.
I never usually eat cereal.
And tampons.
I just bought so many tampons.
How many periods are you planning on having in these four weeks? To be honest, it's only a month. So one. usually eat cereal and tampons. I just bought so many tampons.
How many periods are you planning on having in these four weeks? To be honest, it's only a month, so one?
Yeah.
Right?
I don't know why.
Two at most?
Someone told me they were like, oh, you better get some tampons.
And I was like, yeah, true.
If there's one thing I don't want to run out of, it's tampons.
Yeah, right.
Okay, well, let's go through this list.
Percentage of growth gone up 9%.
Confectionery.
Chocolate, lollies.
I thought it would have been more.
I thought we'd be stockpiling chocolate for a situation like this.
Yeah, I do love chocolate.
But we're not.
13% biscuits.
Why biscuits?
Comfort food.
Cup of tea and a biscuit.
Cup of tea and a biscuit.
Yeah.
Up 13% as well.
Cheese.
Yeah, that was me.
I bought some cheese.
Yeah, I get that. Cheese is some cheese. Yeah, I get that.
Cheese is the best.
Cheese you might just buy.
If you're getting a block, you might get an extra block.
It's so versatile too.
Yeah, I know.
It's a garnish.
It's a whole meal.
Put it on a pizza, eat it on crackers just by itself.
Yep.
Up 13% also is snack foods, which I imagine is chippies and stuff.
Chips, yeah.
Yeah.
Up 15% bread.
I've seen lots of empty bread oils, you know? Yeah, well, they can't keep up with it because they may get fresh, yeah. Yeah. Up 15% bread. I've seen lots of empty bread oils, you know?
Yeah, well, they can't keep up with it because they may get fresh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then you freeze it.
So, yeah, you can, yeah, don't stockpile it.
Yeah, freeze your bread.
15% rise in pre-packed small goods.
Don't know what that is.
Tampons.
Oh, is it?
I don't know.
I actually think it's boxes of salami, actually. Like deli meats.
It can be a tampon.
Anything a tampon if you're desperate enough.
Yeah, true.
Why do you smell like prosciutto?
And you're like, well, I'm Italian.
It's that time of the month.
Yeah, molto bene.
A 17% increase in coffee.
I get that.
I would have thought it was bigger.
Yeah.
A 17% in the sale of breakfast cereals.
I'm on board that.
I don't know why.
Okay, we're into the top five.
A 36% increase in the sale of canned fish.
People stocking up on tuna.
Tuna.
What other canned fish is that?
Salmon?
Oh, yeah.
Canned fish and seafood.
Anchovies.
Anchovies, yeah.
It lasts a long time.
Sardines.
Yeah.
A 49% increase in milk products.
Really?
Yeah, so milk, cream, butter.
Milk doesn't last that long though.
No, it doesn't.
You can freeze it.
Can you?
Yeah, you can freeze milk, yeah.
My nan used to do it all the time.
How do you do it? It expands.
Yeah. So don't do it in
the bottle. No, you do it in the bottle, it's fine.
It'll explode.
Actually, don't take my word for it. I was going to say
don't do that. You can freeze milk.
A 58%
increase in the sale of canned
meat. Whoa.
Oh yeah, corned beef. Corned beef.
What else is in there? Spam. Chicken in a can. Yeah, I don't trust chicken in a can either. No, no, corned beef. Corned beef. What else is in there? Spam.
Chicken in a can.
Yeah, I don't trust chicken in a can either.
No, no, no.
But it's out there.
Ellie eats chicken in a can.
She does.
Yeah, but that's Ellie.
She'll eat anything.
A 62% increase in the last week in the sale.
Ellie's like, here's an old shoe.
Give me some sauce and I'm into it.
Got any aioli?
There's only two more.
A 62% increase
in the sale of canned vegetables.
Oh yeah,
makes sense.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Canned tomatoes,
canned baked beans,
that sort of thing.
And the number one thing
that has gone up the most
in all of this,
the thing that we have
panic bought the most,
that we've decided
we can't live without.
Hopefully I've got it right.
Rice.
Oh, yeah, I knew that.
Rice.
Yeah, people love rice.
No.
No, rice, no.
It lasts a long time.
Yeah, it lasts a long time.
Unless you've got weevils.
But a 69% increase.
I mean, it's a very nice increase.
You can make a lot of things with rice and it lasts a long time.
Then it's a staple of a lot of cultural dishes
I understand that
But that's the thing we're going out on
Rice
I'm not going to lie
I do have a few bags of rice in my house
Do you?
Yeah
It's because my flatmate Alan
He eats rice with every meal
Yeah but have you put anything with the rice
To eat with the rice
Or are you just going to be having bowls of rice
Here's the other thing to remember by the way
You can still go to the supermarket We've given out this list like This is the other thing to remember, by the way, you can still go to the supermarket.
We've given out this list like
this is what's going to last you for the four weeks.
You can still go to the supermarket.
Alan eats rice and meat.
And that's it.
That's it.
That's his diet.
And puts them together.
Yeah.
Any sauce?
Sometimes.
Right.
Yeah.
What have you already run out of?
Cereal.
You've run out of cereal.
I've run out of chocolate.
I bought three blocks and we've gone through it already.
Producer Ellie, what have you run out of already?
Avocado.
Devastating.
To be honest, I need a few more tampons as well, actually.
It sounds like you do, mate.
Even though you can go to the supermarket,
you should stay away as much as you can.
Obviously, it's the first day of lockdown today here in New Zealand
and everyone, if they are working, should be working from home.
Damn it. Say it again.
Wait. They should be working from home.
And look, it comes to no surprise to anyone on this show
that I love to use that song to mess with people
like the time you were working from home, Clint.
No, I wasn't working from home.
I was having a sick day.
Yeah, so because you were working from home,
we got everyone in the office to call you
and then the name of the game is to get you
to try and say working from home.
I wasn't.
I was having a sick day.
You were working from home a lot, obviously, because you had a new baby.
Fine.
Okay, I was working from home.
Fine.
For the purposes of this joke, I was working from home.
Why doesn't it work when you say it?
What?
When you...
When I say what?
When I say working from home, I think I need to say work from home.
I'll recalibrate it, don't worry.
Right.
Anyway, I had a thought because obviously my flatmates,
Alan and Annabelle, are both at home right now.
They're meant to be working.
I thought we could just call them up and check in on them.
Right.
You think at five, what is it, how past five they'll still be working?
Well, they started later. Right, okay. So they should be still doing, you know, a few extra hours. Right, you think at five, what is it, how past five they'll still be working? Well, they started later.
So they should be still doing, you know,
a few extra hours. Okay, who are we calling
first? Let's call my
flatmate Alan first.
Okay, big gay gorgeous Al.
Hello.
Hey Al, did you just call me?
Yeah, I did.
Did you call me on private number?
No. Oh, right. Are you okay? Yeah,
I'm good. Oh, what are you up to? In bed. Oh, I'm waiting for a meeting. And I just,
my back's sore from sitting on our shitty dining room table chairs. So I'm like, I'm
just going to lay down. Oh, so you still are working from home then.
That's good for you, Brie Thomas. Cool, just
wanted to check in. Thank you.
Bye now. Continue to work
from home.
Alright, bye now.

Hook, line and sinker.

It's got a great beat to it.
Nelly Furtado, man eater.
Right at her prime, too, when she was making her Timberland stuff.
Yeah, she was killing it.
Yeah.
It was good back then.
That was a pretty good one, Omega. Okay, cool. Wait, then we'll get one more from Nadia. Yeah, she was killing it. Yeah. It was a good thing then. That was good. That's a pretty good one, Omega. Okay, cool.

Yeah.
Oh, she does sound very excited.

But we'll remember.
We'll do hers when she turns 16.
What's your birthday?
The 27th of November, 1988.
Right, you were 16 in 2004 on the 27th of November.
And back in 2004, this went to number one.
It's the first song that Gwen Stefani released
after she went solo from No Doubt.
Right.
Oh, there you go.
Yeah.
It was sort of the precursor to Rich Girl and all that stuff.
Is she? Is my nana's?
Was that her?
Yeah, that's her, yeah.
That was her too.
It's a good one, Nadia.
I haven't heard it for ages either.
Yeah, it's a tune.
I think the winner is Nelly Furtado.
Do you?
You think Guy Sebastian?
You know I love that song.
Yeah, I know.
It's between those two.
I just haven't heard that Maneater song in so long.
Or actually,
it's probably got a better message for right now, right?
Battle Scars?
This is uplifting.
Yeah.
You can do it.
Believe.
All right.
Corey, you win birthday banger, man.
Congratulations.
Oh, sweet.
You enjoy that couch, Corey?
Yeah, yeah, we'll get it.
Shit, I fell asleep.
I didn't know you guys were still there.
Jesus.
Scared me.
Yeah. I'm still there. Jesus. Scared me. Love. But I feel like ruins wooing me Arrow holes that never close From Cupid on a shooting spree
Feeling stupid cause I know it ain't no you and me
But when you're trying to beat the odds up
And trying to keep your nods up
And you know that you should know
And let it go
But the fear of the unknown
Hone another lover's phone
Send you back into the zone
With no time, Hanks, to bring you home
A lover, not a fighter
On the front line with a poem
Trying to write yourself a rifle, maybe sharpen up a song
To fight the tanks and drones of you being alone
I wish I never would, I wish I never touched
I wish that I could stop loving you so much
Cause I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together
When all of us find and say that I should forget her
I wish you were the best, the best I ever had
I wish that the good outweighed the bad.
Cause it'll never be over.
And so you tell me it's over.
These battle scars.
Don't look like they're faded.
Don't look like they're ever gonna fade.
They ain't never gonna change.
These battle scars. Don't look like they're faded.
Don't look like they're ever gonna wait.
They're never gonna change these battles.
Then just leave me.
Shouldn't have, but you said it.
And I hope you never come back.
It shouldn't have happened, but you let it.
Now you're down on the ground screaming medic.
The only thing that comes is the post-traumatic
shield body armors and vessels don't properly work that's why you're in a locker full of hurt
the enemy within and all the fires from your friends the best medicines to probably just let
them win i wish i could stop because it hurts so much so much and i'm the only one that's trying
to keep us together when all of the signs say that I should forget her
I wish you were the best, best I ever had
The least of the good, I'll grade the bad
Cause it'll never be over
Until you tell me it's over
And these battle scars don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever gonna fade.
They ain't ever gonna change these bells.
Stars don't look like they're fading, don't look like they're ever gonna fade.
They ain't ever gonna change these bells.
Cause you set me on fire, I never felt so alive. No, hoping won't heal, but it never does.
That's because you were at war with.
And I'm at the point of breaking.
And it's impossible to shake it.
You hope the wound heals
But it never does
That's cause you at war with love
Hope it heals
But it never does
That's cause you at war with love
These battle scars
Keep burning
I ain't never gonna wait
I ain't never gonna change
These battle scars Keep burning Never gonna change these battles.
Scars don't look like they're faded.
Don't look like they're ever gonna fade.
They ain't never gonna change these battles.
Scars don't look like they're faded.
Don't look like they're faded.
I ain't never gonna change these battles

Oh, no.
Afghan.
No, not the dog, the biscuit.
Not the dog.
Oh, okay.
I told you she wouldn't know.
Good start.
How are you feeling through all of this, Mama Di?
What's your situation like in Queensland at the moment?
Oh, well, look, it's very sombre here.
And the first time in my whole life I got up at half past five
to go and do the grocery shopping and did not get any toilet paper.
So I went back to another school.
Not to be crude, but you haven't been able to get toilet paper in how long?
About 10 days.
Right.
Are you nearing the bottom of your reserves?
Yes, and I'm contemplating eucalyptus leaves.
Eucalyptus leaves.
How invigorating.
It'll leave a minty freshness.
Yeah.
You might find some koalas following you on too.
Okay, you're going to stay with us as we talk to other New Zealanders,
so stick here with us.
Divya is on the phone with us from Hamilton.
Kia ora, man.
Hi.
Hi.
How are you guys?
Hi.
We're good.
Mama Dai is here too.
Hello.
Hello, Mama Dai.
Hello.
How are you going, beautiful boy?
Oh, I'm doing good, Mama Dai.
Divya, we met you and your beautiful partner
when we were on the Venute tour in Hamilton,
and you're actually a GP.
So you are frontline for this.
Tell us what it's like for you and your colleagues at the moment.
So this week has been busy.
I think people are just unsure what to expect.
Nobody ever got into medicine expecting a pandemic, but we are doing everything we can. This week, a lot of people are anxious as to what is
happening, what needs to be done, should we change, is it okay to meet our friends, how much is okay so in all this thing we have just changed how we practice medicine
completely yeah yeah just the traditional way of practice has completely gone out of the window
but still we have got adequate measures in place so the people with actual issues can still be seen. So I've just a message to whoever is listening
that if you've got an ongoing issue
that you're worried about,
we've got adequate measures in place
so that you could still be seen in a safe environment.
So don't worry.
If you need to come to the medical center,
you should come in, just call us
and we have adequate measures in place so that you will
be seen without having to worry about your exposure to the virus. That's so good to know.
And a lot of people I think would be glad to hear that. It's really comforting to know. Hey,
thank you for all the work that you are doing and you will do over the next couple of months,
Divya. It's great to hear from you, man. Thanks so much. Thank you. My pleasure. And say hello to your beautiful wife for us too.
She's an absolute sweetheart.
Siobhan's here.
Hey, Siobhan.
Hi.
Hi there.
You're in hospo, right?
Yeah.
So you're shut down?
You're at home?
There's no work?
Yeah, no work.
I'm at home sitting on my ass.
It's great fun.
Who are you in isolation with, Siobhan?
My partner.
Oh, how's that going?
Have you had a fight yet? We actually had a fight this Oh, how's that going? Have you had a fight yet?
We actually had a fight this morning.
Oh, yeah.
What did you have a fight about?
I'm literally miserable.
I've got my wisdom teeth come through and everything.
Oh, no.
The dishes weren't done.
Everything was just amazing.
I was like, can you just clean up?
Because I'm just trying to have a dart and a smoke.
And I'm like, ugh.
I ended up in tears because I was in so much pain.
And I'm like, can you just clean up? Yeah, you just get on each other's...
I love you, Siobhan.
Mama Di, have you and Big Steve had any fights since this thing broke out?
Not happy, Clint, with Big Steve at the moment.
Why is that?
You're feeling the same as Siobhan.
No, yeah.
Look, I'm exactly the same.
I'm on her side 100%.
What's he been doing?
What's he been doing?
Well, Brianna, your father got the dozers here
and he decided to go out all day yesterday on the dozer,
did not come home for lunch or morning or afternoon tea
and left me all day here on my own.
I was just about ready to kill somebody, I can tell you.
You're going batty, Mum.
Yeah.
Oh, look, it was not good.
At least you know you're not in this alone, Siobhan.
I wish it was the other way almost.
Other way relationships.
Siobhan's like, who and what is going on?
He's just always there and I'm like, what?
Yeah, Siobhan wants it your way around.
She wants him to disappear for the whole day.
Yeah, you guys should swap.
Yeah, okay.
Good to hear from you, Siobhan.
This is Cup of Tea and a Biscuit, by the way.
We're just catching up with everybody.
And Anton is here.
You want to do a shout-out to your in-laws, Anton?
Yeah, I was just going to give one to Mark and Amanda
for letting me stay for the month while we're in quarantine.
Well done.
So, yeah, put them the bottles of wine and the box of beers.
As long as we're all happy and just getting along, she'll be right.
I thought it sounded like he said he wanted to give one to them.
No, no.
And I was like, what are you talking about, Anton?
Anton, this is going to be make or break for you
as a potential long-term member of the family.
You know that, right?
By the end of this, you'll know and they'll know
whether you're marriage and son-in-law material.
Oh, well, I've trimmed the trees and picked the peyote and the tomatoes.
Yes, you'll be right.
You're smart, Anton.
Do as much cleaning as you can and you'll be good to go.
Yeah, any other advice he needs, Mama Diet?
Yes, he needs to cook a couple of meals and hang out the week.
We're going to be having burgers tonight.
Oh, there he go, man.
He's a real gentleman.
Let me get into it and everyone will have full stomachs.
All right, we'll let you get into it.
Well done.
Thank you, Anton.
Sounds good, Anton.
When can you move into my place?
Bree and Clint.
Time for our new segment, Good Feeling News.
I get a good feeling.
It was just called Good News, but then Ben made that thing,
so we had to rename it. It's time for Good Feeling News. I get a good feeling. It was just called good news, but then Ben made that thing, so we had to rename it.
It's time for good feeling news. I get a
good feeling. Exclusively good
news in this shitty situation.
Okay, and I've got some. Okay. First
of all, there is a new way that
you can try and save your favourite local
cafe. People feel strongly about
their cafes. They have a bond with their barista
often. They have spent
years locating the perfect cheese scone.
They know exactly how they want their coconut milk flat white made.
And you know the cafe that does that for you.
Well, guess what?
That cafe might not be around after this because their costs continue.
They've still got to pay things like rent and electricity
and staff's wages and that sort of thing.
And they're a cash flow business and they might go under
with no customers coming through the door each day.
Yeah, it's a brutal reality.
So there's a new app which has been launched.
Or is it a website?
It's a website.
It's called SOS Cafe.
And it's a New Zealand IT specialist who has come up with the idea.
And basically you go on SOS Cafe and you buy a voucher
through that website for your favourite cafe to use when they reopen.
When they do reopen. And the idea is
he's got the infrastructure set up so that
even if your cafe didn't have vouchers
this is a way that they can go, cool, we'll do
this. And you can go, well I probably spend
like if you go there
for breakfast on the weekend and then you grab
a coffee or two during the week, you might spend $50 or $60
there a week. And
so you might go, okay, cool, I'll grab a $100
voucher for my cafe. Because I'm not
spending money on coffees and cafes
at the moment anyway. And I'm going to get that
eventually. Yeah. And then when you get
there, you can go and use that voucher and it just gives
them the cash flow that they need to
stay going in this time.
A little bit more breathing room. Yeah. There
is a risk though that if the cafe can't
stay afloat,
you don't get a refund on your voucher.
Because whatever you pay, they will use to pay the rent this week.
Right.
Of course.
But the idea is that you're giving them a bit of a lifeline to keep going. Just remember that risk when you're doing it.
Like Megan from Fletch Warner.
Megan.
She's got a cafe.
Yeah.
Beauford and Co.
Yeah.
I wonder if they're on this.
I actually sent her this link today.
Yeah.
They should be on it. Can this help you? Yeah. Hope it does. XO this. Yeah, I actually sent her this link today. Yeah, they should be on it.
And I said, can this help you?
Yeah.
Hope it does.
XOXO, love you, babes.
And she said, love you too, babes, which was lovely.
Some more good feeling news.
I get a good feeling.
Have you seen the teddy bear thing that's happening?
I have.
People putting their teddy bears out, reminding kids to wash their hands.
I didn't know it was to wash your hands.
I thought it was more like a teddy bear scavenger hunt.
Oh.
So when you are out for your walks,
which families are still allowed to do in this situation
and will become really, really important,
you're like looking out for houses that have teddy bears in the window.
Going on a teddy hunt.
Yeah.
Bear hunt.
Going on a bear hunt.
Going on a bear hunt.
Going on a bear hunt. It's exactly what it is.
There was always a scary song when I was young.
And we're not scared. Gonna
get you a big one.
We still sing that on the weekend sometimes
actually. Who's hunting bears too?
My gay flatmate Alan.
True. He is going on a few bear hunts.
Well we're not talking about putting
those kind of bears in the window.
No, different.
Too tempting.
Way too tempting.
Yeah, too tempting for people.
For the Ellens of the world, it's far too.
Although if he went over there and they kept that pane of glass between them,
it could be fine.
Well, yeah, true.
You can do that.
Yeah.
Just no sharp objects that might puncture the glass.
I'm so sorry, Al.
Two good news, sorry, good feeling news stories for you.
Thank you for that, mate.
