Starting point is 00:00:00 For a few years, in the 1970s, the Mr Asia syndicate made millions. Heroin creates its own market. It acts like a form of play. Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down. Then he just pulled out a gun, shot her in the back of the head, and then said to Wayne, you're going to help me bury her. This is Mr Asia, A Forgotten History. All episodes now available on iHeartRadio, Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts
Starting point is 00:00:29 The ZM Podcast Network Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast It's thanks to McCafe Grab a rich, smooth barista made coffee on the go Oh, rich and smooth. Rich and smooth. That's how I like my men.
Starting point is 00:00:50 I thought you liked rich and hairy men. No, I do. I like them rough and hairy. Smooth, barista-made, smooth, hairy, rough barista-made coffee on the go. That's you. That's a tagline that would get you in. So you're off to film the great
Starting point is 00:01:06 British Bake Off. Great Kiwi Bake Off. Kiwi Bake Off. Haven't quite landed that big a job. And I'm off now to a movie. I can't say which movie because it's not out yet. Yeah, you're getting a little sneak preview. A little teaser because we've got a
Starting point is 00:01:21 big interview coming up which we're all pretty excited about so I'm going to go see this movie. But Anna and I are going together to the movies, and we're thinking, is it too early at 10 a.m., maybe even sooner to get a Don Buri, like a 9.30 Don Buri? Is that too early? What's the cutoff for a Don Buri bowl with your teriyaki chicken? You're asking the wrong person, though,
Starting point is 00:01:44 because I often grab a little bit of sushi after work. Yeah, and let's be honest, this is our lunch, isn't it? Yeah, I feel no shame, no guilt. We've been up since, like, four o'clock. Should we have a wine with it? Why can't we have a wine? I don't know if wine pairs well with a Donburi bowl. Teriyaki chicken and a Merlot.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Yeah. I get a bit of sake, I reckon. They don't really do alcohol at the food court, though, do they? Are you getting a food court Donbury? Where did you think we were getting a Donbury? I thought you might go head down to a nice sort of actual
Starting point is 00:02:17 Japanese restaurant. No, we'll get a food court Donbury. Okay. It's never too early. If you break it down to the components, protein, carbs, fats. We've got to get the guy that doesn't own the Don Beret place because the owners,
Starting point is 00:02:31 they're stingy with the meat. Whereas the people that work there, they don't give a fuck about the meat, do they? They're piling on. They're piling on. Two whole chicken breasts there.
Starting point is 00:02:40 I know. That's what I want. But then you get the owner who runs the franchise and he's like, little bit of meat, little bit of meat. Little bit of meat. Yes. And then he gives you the shit mayo. You're like, I see the QP. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Don't give me that best foods. I see it. Well, I don't think it's too early. Absolutely hone down. Make sure you get a sake on the side. Thank you, Rachel. Wow. Seven o'clock. The Johnny Depp verdict. Amber Heard. This whole entire trial has been just something so wild.
Starting point is 00:03:15 I don't think any of them are going to come out as a winner of this trial, even if they do win. They're both crazy. I reckon they will win eventually because there's definitely going to be like an HBO series about this tribe. 100%. Wow. I mean, I've sort of stopped watching because I was like,
Starting point is 00:03:33 it's too much. But for ages, I was watching and watching and watching and watching and watching. Just morbid curiosity. Yeah, so many people have been. I know. Oh, well. 7 a.m.
Starting point is 00:03:43 7 a.m. We'll make sure we have the verdict in the latest for you this morning when that happens. Vaughn, the Johnny Depp news through us. Vaughn's away today. What did the message say? Let me bring this message up.
Starting point is 00:03:57 He said he hopped in the shower. He woke up and gave us a thumbs up, like, yeah, I'll be on the link soon. And then he had a shower, and I think the shower made him a bit bloody dizzy. Yeah, and he said, my throat kills today, so I'm going to crawl back into bed. That's a good thing to do.
Starting point is 00:04:15 It's a good... I mean, look, we will note, Fletch, when you had COVID, I mean, you pushed through. You know what I mean? Well, to be honest, I just had a runny nose and a cough, and that was it. I felt fine. Yeah, whereas I think Vaughan might be getting hit a little bit harder
Starting point is 00:04:27 because he's got that special Disney strain. Yeah, he does, yeah, which is meant to be the happiest strain on earth, I think. Happiest strain on earth. Happiest strain on earth is you cough yourself to death in the shower at 4.30 in the morning. All right, coming up on the show, Free Fuel this morning at 4 o'clock. Sorry, 8 o'clock. Why did I say 4? Because I just said 4.30 in the morning. All right, coming up on the show, free fuel this morning at 4 o'clock. Sorry, 8 o'clock. Why did I say 4? Because I just said 4.
Starting point is 00:04:50 This is COVID brain. 8 o'clock, our retro petrol time machine. Next on the show, though. I've got a bit of a PSA, and you need to be listening up to this one, Fletch. This affects me, does it? This affects you deeply. All right.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Now, listen up, you nutty sleepers. I'm a nude sleeper. I'm a nutty sleeper. You are. You're a full, everything out sleeper. Just let it all rummage around in the sheets. I used to be boxers in summer and then boxers t-shirt in winter. Yes.
Starting point is 00:05:28 And then, I don't know, I just went nutty. And it's so good. I just can't go back now. It really makes me, I don't know why, just the image of you waking up in the middle of the night in your apartment and just walking down to your loo, like, schlong out. I love it. Well, I live alone, so, I mean, that's, it's
Starting point is 00:05:45 all good, right? Absolutely. I mean, if I had flatmates, absolutely not. I'd probably wear boxes. That is your privilege to do so. Exactly. And I love that you take advantage of it. Well, a sleep expert who shares sleeping tips and information on getting better sleep on TikTok,
Starting point is 00:06:02 he has chimed in on why you should never sleep naked. And the reason is just like too funny. It's too funny. Okay. So as you probably know, or if you've ever slept. Can I guess? Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Is it like if there's a fire alarm or an earthquake? I mean, that's not ideal. So, I mean, for you, if you, like, wake up in the middle of the night and it's dark and there's a fire alarm and you can't find a pair of shorts and a T-shirt. Yeah. And you're a public profile. You're a public figure.
Starting point is 00:06:34 People are going to be like, isn't that the guy? Isn't that the guy from radio? Wearing no pants. And then they'll go, well done. That's what they'll say. No, it's not because in case of an emergency you will be completely nude. It is because everyone knows that while you sleep, the average person farts 15 to 25 times in a night.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Oh, wow. Unless you're vegan, you'd probably more, right? Don't vegans fart more? Is that a thing? Yeah, sure. Oh, Producer Jared. Is the media vegan? Oh, no. Oh, producer Jared. Is the media vegan? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:07:05 Or a vegetarian? She's vegetarian and slightly lactose intolerant. Oh, right. So she'd be a tooter? Yeah, she pops off. She'd be a tooter. Yeah, man. So would she be more than the average of 15 to 20 a night?
Starting point is 00:07:20 Oh. She's not awake now, eh? Yeah, I hope not. Otherwise, you're in trouble when you get home. Right. But, you know, it's a thing. I didn't know it was a thing. They do.
Starting point is 00:07:32 They toot more. I fart like 15 to 25 times post-meal. Like, I can't imagine how many I'm doing in my sleep. But so we're farting, we're farting, we're farting during the night. Now, a scientific study has proven that every time you toot the horn, you spray a tiny amount of fecal matter from your anus. Oh, don't say that. So if you're farting 15 to 20 times a night, you are basically spraying fecal matter through your sheets.
Starting point is 00:08:06 I mean, microscopic matter. It's microscopic. Yeah, but if you're doing it 20 times, it equates to just a small little pebble. Yeah, well, luckily I clean my sheets very often, weekly. Yes. I'm weekly.
Starting point is 00:08:21 He posted this and then apparently he got a lot of messages of people just being like, look, I will never convert to the gym jam life again. Just change your sheets more often. Yeah, exactly. I mean, I wouldn't leave them on for like two months. Do you know what's gross as well?
Starting point is 00:08:36 I mean, I wear pyjamas, always have, potentially always will. Even in summer? Yeah. That's so weird. It's even worse in summer, because I get all sticky, and I hate the feeling of my own skin sticking to myself.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Right. But I will be farting into these little like Jim Jam shorts, let's say. Yeah. And then wearing those for a couple of days. So I think that's almost worse. Yeah, that's worse. I've basically cacked my pants and I'm still wearing them for a couple of days. Gross.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. well uh thanks to the pandemic it's inspired gen zed uh to bring back uh manifesting and it is all the rage at the moment manifesting the idea that you what put something out to the universe yeah like this was the whole idea with the secret do you remember the secret there was a documentary and all The Secret. Do you remember The Secret? Yes, I do remember The Secret. There was a documentary and all the books, and you'd put it out there, and then the universe will give it to you, like this week's lotto numbers. I don't not agree. So my family got into this because my dad read The Secret.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Did he? Many, many years ago. Craig, successful businessman Craig. There you go. And maybe it's all because of The Secret or maybe it's all because of every hour of work he put into that company. So he read that and I do believe in like giving good energy
Starting point is 00:10:02 and being positive and then if you are, then good things happen but the i went like when manifesting went big on social media a few years ago people were like hi guys i woke up and i did my manifestations and i'm just welcoming like everything i want into my life i think that kind of idea that people were painting of like you can just manifest something by thinking about it i I think that's rubbish. Yeah, so have a listen to the stats. So since lockdowns began
Starting point is 00:10:30 in 2020, Google searches for manifest went up 600%. On Instagram, hashtags for manifest and related searches now have more than 15 million posts. Right. On TikTok, manifesting content is surging past nine billion views there
Starting point is 00:10:47 are the memes is it just watching people manifest i guess so but like i guess there's that whole like there's like if you're a sportsman like visualization like visualizing uh kicks and hitting the ball and that kind of stuff and there there is like, like you say, like if you're positive and you're constantly thinking, I want to achieve this, then you are going to have success, right? But like it's not going to. Yes, because it drives you. It drives you. But it's not just pop, like a genie-ish.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Like you can't manifest a PhD. You've got to put years of your life and work and study into that. You know, it's just not going to arrive at, you're not going to get a graduation invite because you've been manifesting. I'm really hoping to manifest one of those. What would you manifest? I would manifest.
Starting point is 00:11:32 I'm too cynical to, you know. I would manifest some jib. Some jib board. Some jib board. Yeah, and maybe some margaritas. But that's the thing. I can't just manifest a margargarita i've got to get in the kitchen and make it myself that's how it works i've manifested my but what if you want to get up and make one what if you manifest it so much that you come home one day and the margaritas are there ready and you someone's let themselves into your house and made
Starting point is 00:12:02 them yeah i'm like oh my god aaron thank you so much for this margarita. He's like, I didn't make it. I'm like, wait, wait, did I manifest these into being? Universe, is that you? Universe? Oh, my gosh. I'm way too cynical for manifesting. But like you say, I can see the positive.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Like, if you're a positive person, you have goal. But that's just goal setting, right? And dedication and discipline and desire. It's not. You put your mind to something. You still work at it. Yeah. I think a lot of the time it is painted as like manifestation is the only thing you need to do.
Starting point is 00:12:37 And it's like, no, no, you need to think about it and then do it. All right. 621. That's your daily inspo for the day. Yeah, basically. Screw it. Don't manifest anything. Life sucks.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Work hard. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Not a bad start temperature-wise around the country. Most of the North Island's in mid to late teens. Yeah, pretty toasty. Warm compared to a week or so ago. And this debate would have been perfect then.
Starting point is 00:13:08 I know. It's going to get colder. We're in June. Are we? Yeah, it's the second day of winter. June the 2nd. It's June 2 already. No good, eh, that we're still in the teens this early in the morning.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Not for global warming, no. Take the good with the bad. But yes, you will be using this because the temperatures are going to drop. A woman on TikTok has sparked a huge online debate, one and a half million views, thousands and thousands of comments on her TikTok, when she posted that she gets in her car and it's fogged, the windows are fogged up, and she doesn't know how to unfog them. She's like, all these years of driving and I still do not know actually how to do this.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Is she a Kiwi or is this overseas somewhere where it's not that cold ever, like LA or something? Because I feel like when you grow up in New Zealand, it doesn't matter where you live. Even Auckland and Northland have some chilly starts and some frosty starts. Like, you're going to know how to defrost the window, surely. I mean, that looks like a New Zealand street. I think she's a Kiwi. Where's she been? Where are you, Kayla?
Starting point is 00:14:20 Kayla Jackson. It doesn't actually say. Who knows? Right. Anyway, so that's the debate that she sparked. She was like, what is it? Cold air or hot air? It's hot, right? The water should be cold. You never put hot water on a windscreen,
Starting point is 00:14:32 on a frosty windscreen. Never. I did it once, and it didn't crack, but I remember when I told my dad, he was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Never do that. He's like, God, I thought I manifested for a good daughter. He did, and he didn never do that. He's like, God, I thought I manifested for a good daughter. He did and he didn't get it.
Starting point is 00:14:46 He's going to keep manifesting. He didn't get it. One day it'll come. Well, so I get in my car in the mornings and because it's so early, often it's foggy because it's just colder. Yeah. And I blast heat.
Starting point is 00:15:00 I go heat. Yeah, I've always gone heat because the cold doesn't, because isn't that the idea? It's cold outside and it's warm inside so that's the difference or is that the problem? Yeah, well, so the reason your car fogs up is a combination of the temperature in the air outside
Starting point is 00:15:17 and the level of moisture both in the air outside and the moisture inside your car. So I'm going to get into that in a little bit about what experts say. Okay. The comments prove that actually I don't think anyone knows. So everyone says, one person said, I just blast really warm. Another said, do y'all not know how condensation works?
Starting point is 00:15:39 Use the heat. Warm temperature and AC on. I have the AC blowing on the windscreen, but I have the actual temperature to warm. But many people were insisting that cold is the way to go. No, I've always gone hot. So always cold air to clear it faster. Then you can slowly turn the heat up,
Starting point is 00:15:58 but make sure that the air is blowing in the windshield. Cold if it's on the inside, the fog's on the inside. Warm if it's on the outside, so you're going to heat up the actual glass. Turn your air con on, set it to 20 degrees, you'll thank me later. Everyone's just like, who knows? Pro tip. And then one person said, pro tip,
Starting point is 00:16:16 your windscreen needs to match the temperature outside to defog. Right. But what if it's a really cold morning? You put on cold air. It's not going to melt any frost or condensation, is it? No, frost is different. Frost is different.
Starting point is 00:16:34 That's hot. It's different to fog. Right. Frost, you've got to put the water in and then warm it up. But the fogginess, like the sweaty fogginess. Anyway, so I tried to look up
Starting point is 00:16:42 because the debate wasn't settled on TikTok. Everyone was like, hot, cold, hot, cold, hot, cold, hot, cold. Yeah. And state insurance have on their... Oh, they've waded in, have they? Yeah, they have. They've put on their website... Oh, I'm going to sneeze.
Starting point is 00:16:58 No. Is this COVID? Is this COVID? I hope not. Hang on. Oh, it's gone. Damn it. I was really looking forward to that. I know. I love a sneeze. I love a good sneeze. Never hold in a sneeze.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Never hold in a sneeze. I never hold in anything, though, as you know. So they say, for a quick fix, this is the fastest way to defog your windshield. First, turn the heat to its maximum setting. Okay. I think most cars are like 30, really hot. Yeah. Because hot air can hold more moisture,
Starting point is 00:17:30 so it can kind of like suck the moisture. Right. Then turn the AC on, so make sure you've got the AC button on, which will pull the moisture from the air as it passes through the coils. Finally, turn off the recirculation button so colder, drier air is brought into the car.
Starting point is 00:17:48 If possible, crack your windows for a couple of minutes. That's complicated. Yeah, right. Okay. But it's hot, though. Initially hot. Okay, right. I like to really ruin my windscreen and get impatient and smear it with my hand.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Oh, don't do that. And then when it dries and stuff, it's so smeary and you're like, ew. Yeah. I'm gross. Which is why when you drive down the motorway, you're mostly looking out the window, right? To see where you're going.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Yeah, one person did say, I just put my hands on the wheel when I can't see and pray to Jesus. No, no, no. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. There is a lot of breaking news right now. We await the verdict of the Johnny Depp Amber Heard train wreck of a trial. No winners out of that.
Starting point is 00:18:33 No winners whatsoever. The thing is a shambles, but that is not the breaking news we are breaking right now. Do you want to break some news? Can I break some news before you break your news? Because I know you've got the contraceptive pill breaking news. Breaking news. But we've just had delivered, and this is an absolute non-spawn mention,
Starting point is 00:18:52 we've just had delivered a new flavour of lumps. You know pineapple lumps? Pineapple lumps. There's now tip-top boysenberry ripple lumps, and I've just had four, and, my God, they're amazing. And I hate pineapple lumps. I hate all the lumps they do. I'm not a fan of the lumps.
Starting point is 00:19:08 You've had four. But you've been such a good boy. I have been a really good boy. They are so yum. Oh, my God, they've hit this out of the park. Damn it. Why am I not in studio today? Shall I get in my car?
Starting point is 00:19:21 Take the... Shall I get in my car? And just come for a free bag of lollies. Okay, it'll take me 25 minutes to get there, so that'll be just after 7, but then I'll miss the Johnny Depp announcement. But I could be listening in the car, then I'll get out,
Starting point is 00:19:36 and then I have to leave at 8. Yeah, or for a pineapple lump. Well, not a pineapple. What do you call it? A boysenberry ripple lump. Oh, God, they're so good. I'm on my way. I'll see you soon.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Okay, bye. Why don't you just buy a bag after? I don't know when they're on sale, but, God, they're good. That's absolutely non-spawn there. Okay, more breaking news. Now, ladies on the contraceptive pill, hold on to your seat. I have some breaking news. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Researchers, psychiatry experts, Dr. Evelyn Moo and Professor Jayashree Kalkani from Melbourne's Menash Alfred Psychiatry Research Centre, so you know it's legit, have been doing research that we needed. We needed this research. And they have found evidence suggests that the oral contraceptive pill affects your mood. This is the breaking
Starting point is 00:20:32 news. What? I don't want to comment on this. I feel like it's not my place to comment on this. This is groundbreaking research. Oh my god, this explains everything. Did you not know this?
Starting point is 00:20:46 Do they not know that there are other things that need researching in the world? There's so much that we don't know, and they're looking into whether or not the contraceptive pill, a hormonal pill, impacts our mood. Do you think it impacts my mood? I'd flip this table, but I've got an Akoya candle burning, and it's too dangerous.
Starting point is 00:21:09 So they've done a huge amount of research, huge amounts, looking at this pill, that pill, testing in different women, different hormone levels, blood work, everything. At the end of the day, the only finding from this study, the oral contraceptive pill impacts your mood. And women around the world, you might have found an earthquake. It was not an earthquake.
Starting point is 00:21:31 When they have one of those earthquakes in Australia, that's weird. That's probably what it is. This was a unified, global groan from women saying, no shite! Sherlock! Surely that research time would have been better
Starting point is 00:21:50 better spend on something else Luckily so they're saying some of the lower dose lower dose estrogen pills such as the one that I'm on impact your mood less. I feel like the people in my life might argue that that's not true.
Starting point is 00:22:10 But who knows? A dangerous combination of the pill and my natural state of being. But there you go. That's my breaking news. The oral contraceptive pill impacts your mood. Play.
Starting point is 00:22:23 ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Well, you remember a while ago Netflix announced that they're going to crack down on password sharing. Yes. Which is bad news for Patsy, your mum. Oh, yeah. She has every single one of my streaming platform passwords, I believe, but she did birth me. So it feels like a fair exchange.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Like she's done a lot for you. Giving her one of your logins is not the end of the world. Yeah, I really feel like we're even now and it's all good. But it's crazy who has like a Netflix or any streaming login from, you know, Rand, like you might live in a flat and have that. And that was your flat two flats ago. Or an ex logs on to your TV or your computer or your phone, and then they're not your ex now. They were once your partner, but you're still using their login.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Because Netflix has the limited amount of screens that can watch at once, but they don't have a limited amount of devices. Like some places, you know, like once you've added five devices using that password, you can't add any more. You've got to remove them. But if you're watching at the same time, you could easily get away with it if you're not all watching rather.
Starting point is 00:23:37 But yeah, they're running into problems. So Netflix have, you may have heard, rolled out a trial in some countries. Currently Costa Rica, beautiful country. Chile and Peru. Now apparently it's not going well. So in these countries they have charged people an extra two or three US dollars if they want to share their account with other people.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Now they're classing it as outside their household. And that's where the problems are coming in. Because outside of a household, like, what does that mean? You have to be at the same address. Yeah, and how do they monitor that? Yeah, and then what if you watch Netflix at work? Or I had a friend that watched Netflix at work. Do you have a friend that watches Netflix at work?
Starting point is 00:24:22 There's no time to watch Netflix at work. You've seen me. Turn your screen around I don't. There's no time to watch Netflix at work. Yeah. You've seen me. Turn your screen around to the camera. It's this article. But no, I had a friend that had like a 9 to 5 office job and would watch shows, just get through entire seasons and stuff, just have his laptop or iPad next to his computer. It doesn't work, though, because we're often out of the house watching Netflix on holiday. And that's what they're saying.
Starting point is 00:24:42 You could go to an Airbnb and log in on the TV. Or home for Christmas. Technically, that's your household because you've just taken your household on holiday. Or you could be at work or your kid could be watching Netflix at school. And apparently that's where the problems have come in. And apparently somebody speaking anonymously from the call centre said that if somebody called up and complained,
Starting point is 00:25:03 they'd just give them a code that would work so that they could just jump on. But they must be blocking you somehow. Maybe if you're using a different IP than you registered from. I feel like they didn't think this one out very well. No. There's just no way to figure it out. It's like when people drive your car and they get a speeding ticket.
Starting point is 00:25:22 How do they know that it's not you, that it's someone else? Yeah. Well, yeah, if it's a speed camera, they can't give you demerit points, can they? No, they can't. No. But, yeah, apparently it's also partly discrimination, people are saying.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Oh, really? Yeah. Because it's where they've chosen to do this. Well, no, just because that it's a way of discrimination because the idea that a Netflix account is tied to a physical location. Oh, okay. Where, you know, I don't know. It goes into it.
Starting point is 00:25:54 But, yeah, they're basically, it's not going well for them, which is great news if you're a leecher. How much, like, let's just, I'm just going to search the net worth of Netflix. Well, they've had a bad few months. Their share price has gone down quite a bit. Yeah, but, you know, dry your eyes, mate. They're still worth $87.7 billion. They're doing all right.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Yeah, they've had a bad month, but I reckon just, like, let it go. We're always going to share our passwords. Someone's paying for something. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, somebody's had something stolen from their car, which you would say is very expensive and very, most of all, irreplaceable. Wow. Because I don't think you can just get a new one.
Starting point is 00:26:39 No, I once had my $90 super cheap auto radio stolen from my first car, and that was because I didn't lock it. Hardly seems worth it. Hardly seems worth it. Well, at Tokyo's Summer Olympics, you may remember, or you may not, the U.S. women's volleyball team celebrated a historic victory over Brazil, and they won a gold medal. One of the team members was Jordan Pauta, and she got a gold medal.
Starting point is 00:27:13 Well, she returned to her car recently after training. They train in Anaheim in California, and she'd parked her car near the training grounds, and she'd got back and realised somebody had broken into her car and they'd taken, I believe, a bag with, I mean, I don't know why anyone leaves anything in their car. Like you only need to get your car broken into once and then you don't leave anything in it, right?
Starting point is 00:27:38 Absolutely. Like you've got to learn the hard way. I learnt the hard way when I moved to Auckland, had my car broken into and I was like, okay, never again. Do I leave anything? Even if you don't think it's valuable. Just a bag, if it's got, like I had a gym bag taken with my swimming gear. It was annoying, but maybe they thought there was something worth money in there.
Starting point is 00:27:57 Yes, well, I've had a gym bag stolen from my car before as well. And as I told the insurance company, I had all brand new Versace workout gear in there, plus my diamond tennis bracelet that was in there as well. It was devastating. 100%. Of course, I didn't believe that for a second. But she had, along with like her,
Starting point is 00:28:16 she had a passport and some stuff in a bag that was taken. But out of the center console in her car, taken, stolen, was the Olympic gold medal. What's in your car? This is 10 months later. She'd left it in her centre console. Like, what's in your centre console? Some tissues, some old Maccas wrappers?
Starting point is 00:28:36 Yeah, a pen and, like, a plastic knife and fork if I ever get cut short. Maybe a couple of coins. If you're lucky. If you're lucky. If you're lucky. But definitely not a gold medal. From the Olympics. Why was it in her car? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Did she say why it was in her car? She basically just said, look, in hindsight, it shouldn't have been there. I'd just forgotten about it. I guess she'd taken it to show people because that's a thing. How humble. I just forgot about it. Oh, my God. It was that bad.
Starting point is 00:29:04 I know. And the garage was my god, it was then. I know. And the garage was open when she parked her car and she's just having an absolute brain fart of a time. Oh my god. We've all been there but we just haven't had our medal, our gold medal stolen because you can't get that replaced. They don't just give you a new one. No, they don't.
Starting point is 00:29:20 I think, oh no, that was the Rugby World Cup. Remember when Sonny Bill Williams gave away his Rugby World Cup medal to a young fan and everyone was like, that was so sweet. And then the Rugby World Rugby Association gave a new one. Yeah. But I don't think they're just going to give her another gold medal. No, I don't think you go online, create a login,
Starting point is 00:29:41 and then apply for a new Olympic gold medal. No. But it got me thinking, like, about if there's anybody listening who's had something stolen from their car that was, like, either really expensive or, like, irreplaceable. You know, like. They're very valuable to you. I've had friends that have had, like, their laptop stolen, and that was the only place they had photos. Like, they didn't have them backed up to a cloud. They didn't have another hard drive. And then all their photos, apart from, like, ones they'd put on Like, they didn't have them backed up to a cloud, they didn't have another hard drive, and
Starting point is 00:30:05 then all their photos, apart from like ones they'd put on social, are gone. Like you said, like, that only happens to you once, and then you pay for an iCloud subscription or a Dropbox subscription. Which is like a dollar, I think I pay like $1.69 a month. I think it is
Starting point is 00:30:21 $1.69. For 50 gigs and everything can just live in the cloud and can't get stolen out the back of your car. Oh my god, that think it is $1.69. For 50 gigs and everything can just live in the cloud and can't get stolen out the back of your car. Oh, my God, that hurts my heart so much. Yeah, but maybe, I don't know. I feel like it's going to be painful to listen to. Maybe there's someone listening that had something really sentimental stolen, even if it wasn't expensive.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Yeah, have you ever had a break-in in your car and lost something either really expensive or irreplaceable or sentimental? Oh, God, this is going to hurt. Yeah, I mean, do you think, though, people would be silly enough? I mean, someone's lost a gold medal. I did. The one thing I was really devastated about was when my radio got stolen
Starting point is 00:31:01 from my 1992 Mitsubishi Mirage that didn't lock. Yep. They took the radio, and I was like, oh, the radio. And then I was like, oh! And I had a CD in there that I really loved. Which was worth... I was more devastated about that. It was worth a third of what the radio cost.
Starting point is 00:31:16 I know, but to me, it was worth everything. But you could buy another CD. Shut up, Fletch. Play ZM's Fletch Vornanale. Play ZM. The jury's still filling out that form before they tell us the verdict in the Johnny Depp Amber Heard trial. We'll give you that as soon as it comes through. We may even go live, depending on how that works out.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Yeah, no, they're still waiting. They're still waiting. I'm just looking at the live feed now. Talking about a woman that had her Olympic medal stolen from her centre console in her car. Her car was broken into. She won a volleyball gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. Yes, and it was gone.
Starting point is 00:31:58 I mean, honestly, that's on her for leaving an Olympic gold medal in the middle console. What would you do if you won an olympic medal like say for example marching becomes an olympic sport thank you thank you for joining my campaign and say you won and a gold medal what would you do with it like would you get a frame made or like would you put it in a security deposit box like Yeah, definitely. You'd have to take it to the bank. Yeah, but then she just had it in her centre console because
Starting point is 00:32:29 all your friends want to see it. You're going around for a barbecue. They're like, bring your gold medal. You'd be like, alright then, I've got a gold medal. I'll show this off. I know, absolutely terrible. She's not alone in this. I'm just checking in with you. Is my internet going alright? Yeah, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:32:44 So we've had a lot of messages in with you. Is my internet going alright? Yeah, it's fine. Yeah, it's good. So we've had a lot of messages in with people getting things stolen. Absolutely terrible. Here's one I love. We had our baby bag stolen while giving birth. They smashed the window and stole the bag. Lots of sentimental things and they had nothing for the baby
Starting point is 00:32:59 when it arrived. What kind of scummy a-hole is breaking into cars in a hospital car park? I know. Like at least go to a-hole is breaking into cars in a hospital car park? I know. Like, at least go to a mall or something. I know, absolutely terrible. My dad's ute got broken into when I was young
Starting point is 00:33:13 and they stole his GPS, but more importantly, they stole my Pokemon cards that I got from Macca's Happy Meals. Absolutely devastating. Well, that would have been a devastating loss. Marshall, what was stolen out of your car?
Starting point is 00:33:26 It wasn't out of my car. It was out of the preacher's car, my dad's ashes. Your dad's ashes? What? Yeah. Is it because, were they in like a nice box or? No, not even. Not even.
Starting point is 00:33:41 It was just in a normal wooden box, You know, a little sealed wooden box. Yeah. With a little plate on it with his date of death and the date of when he was cremated. Oh my God. And did they ever, like, get them back? No, no, no. Up until today, he's floating around. We don't know. Wow. That is unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:34:11 I mean, I'm so sorry that happened. But also, maybe it's a great story to tell. And your dad might be like, that's a good laugh. Well, that's the thing. My dad used to be, you know, up early in the morning and walking around the suburb and stuff like that, you know? Yeah. Sort of like a restless soul, so now, yeah. Yeah, wow.
Starting point is 00:34:30 A restless soul. Oh, Marshall, that's a terrible story. Wouldn't you just say you'd stolen some ashes and just return them or drop them somewhere? It's mind-blowing. All right, Marshall, thanks. You call some more messages in. I tell you what, people are, this is absolutely terrible.
Starting point is 00:34:48 My Plunkett book was stolen from my mum's car when I was about three. You know, the books where you look at it and all the updates and everything. You're never going to know if you're a fat baby. I know. I had my old iPod full of 90s hits stolen from my car. No more morning sing-along to work. We'll name this the ZM. Welcome.
Starting point is 00:35:07 Yeah, welcome. We actually stole that iPod. What? My son went over a cliff. Oh, God, I don't think that's about something being stolen. The first time I stayed overnight in Auckland, I went down to my car and realised that someone had broken in. They'd stolen all of my CDs. But they left one,
Starting point is 00:35:25 a compilation CD entitled Love Songs Till Midnight. While I was angry, that was pretty funny. Yeah, you cannot steal somebody's Love Songs Till Midnight. The absolute classic compilation. Amazing. Also, don't leave stuff in your car.
Starting point is 00:35:41 I have to tell my friends all the time that visit me, because I live in the central city. I've walked out in the middle of the afternoon and seen broken glass. Yeah. And people break in in broad daylight with people around. They don't care. This is really, really sad.
Starting point is 00:35:57 I got married in Fiji nearly 29 years ago. Our friend had videoed it. We had the video camera in the back of the car. They stole it. All of our wedding footage was gone. Oh my god, that's so sad. I've never stolen any, I've never had anything stolen from my car.
Starting point is 00:36:14 I've got the ignition destroyed. Yeah, yeah, that's annoying. And then they don't steal the car. You're like, please, just take the car. You were doing me a favour if you took this. Dad was stolen. Oh, some of these are a bit naughty. I think these are from people that are stealing things from cars. Take them back.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Absolutely. I think the moral of the story is don't leave anything important in your car. Yeah, especially an Olympic gold medal. Exactly. If we've learned anything from this. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Well, it's all going at the trial, defamation trial of Amber Heard and Johnny Depp. Yeah, I mean, the most horrendous trial, let's be honest.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Everything that's been said has been absolutely awful from both sides. And then one of the takeaways is there was a lawyer who shared the fact that one of them is lying and one of them is telling the truth. Either way, it's awful. You know, like that they could lie about these things or that these things happened are both awful. So Johnny Depp has, by the looks of it, won. They're reading out like...
Starting point is 00:37:18 Every question. Every question and then how the jury responds to that, yes or no. And they have awarded him $15 million. So far. A $10 million and a $5. A $10 and a $5. But then just like seconds before we went on air, they've also found that Amber Heard had proved some defamation as well.
Starting point is 00:37:40 So is she going to get some money too? Is this going to be a win-win? Well, that's kind of happening now. It's very confusing. Because I sort of imagine they presented everything and then the jury goes away and just sort of sees who wins. Yeah, and they say yes. Yeah, but it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:37:56 It was broken down into like 40 or 50 questions that they had to answer yes or no. Yeah. And then, yeah, Johnny Depp was awarded some money. As against Amber Heard, we, the jury, award compensatory damages in the amount of $10 million. As against Amber Heard, we, the jury, award punitive damages in the amount of $5 million. So that's that. And now everybody's standing.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Everyone's standing. It was like for a while saying basically like was the op-ed defamatory? Were the statements that she made true? And it was like yes it was defamatory no they weren't true. But just at the end there there was something like did she say something that was damaging to her?
Starting point is 00:38:43 Yes. Anyway I mean look it's going to be all over the internets. Yeah. The whole thing has been, yeah, quite sad, really, hasn't it? Yeah, thank God it's over. Divorce is awful enough, I imagine, without having to have all this stuff. So an update on the
Starting point is 00:39:08 Johnny Depp Amber Heard case. So he has won $15 million against her in his defamation case and she has been awarded $2 million as well. So they've both had a win out of this. Yeah. I mean I guess the overall
Starting point is 00:39:23 thing is like Johnny Depp won. He's won the defamation suit. But because they broke it down into everything that was said, that some of the things she's won. So she gets $2 million. So I guess she owes him $13. It all comes out in the wash. If you've spent any time watching this trial on TikTok or online,
Starting point is 00:39:42 nobody won this. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Uber has released their list of lost and found for the year, and I love these lists. So this is new to me. The sixth annual Uber lost and found index.
Starting point is 00:39:58 I look forward to this. And working in radio, you'll start to look forward to this list as well. Have you ever left anything in a Uber? I've left some keys and I never got them back. That's why I got an AirTag. Yeah, I've left my phone in an Uber before, for sure. But that's easy because you can ring a phone, whereas keys, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Yeah, I think I just rung the phone and the guy had it at home and then he came and dropped it to my house, which was the loveliest thing. Did you give him a tip or some money? I did. Of course I did. That's lovely. I've definitely left my dignity. Oh, many times, many times.
Starting point is 00:40:35 Yeah. I don't know if you can just file that because, you know, have you ever clicked for lost property on the Uber app? Yeah. Yeah, I don't think there's a category for lost dignity. Any chance you could come back to where you dropped me off last night and bring my dignity with you? I'm struggling with that this morning. So
Starting point is 00:40:49 they've released the items. I've got the top five items that were most commonly left behind. Okay. And then the top and then the five most unique lost items this year. Oh, okay. So top five, starting at number five, glasses. Yep. Classic. Hop in the Uber,
Starting point is 00:41:06 take them off, have a chat, leave them there. Number four, backpack, bag, folders, box, luggage. Luggage! Who's leaving, you're just so happy to be home from your holiday that you leave your suitcase in the boot. Number three was keys. I guess you like lock the house,
Starting point is 00:41:22 get in the Uber, keys fall out. Number two, wallet or purse. Yep. And number one, phone. Yeah, they're the number one. Which is the sucky thing because you need the phone and the app to then either call your phone or request on the app to get your phone back and you can't because they've got your phone.
Starting point is 00:41:41 You can log into your Uber account on the internet, like a web browser, and do the same thing. Where are you going to do that at 2 o'clock in the viaduct or at a bar? She wears my phone. Oh, my God. God help us. Here are the five most unique lost items left in the back of Ubers.
Starting point is 00:41:59 Number five, a family member. How old? Like a home alone, like a Macaulay Culkin aged kid? I don't know. There's no explanation beyond just people leaving family members in the back. But what did the kid, did the Uber driver drive off and the kid didn't say anything? And then he looks back and there's a kid in his Uber? Oh my God, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:42:21 Number four, a sentimental metal straw. What? No, that sounds to me like somebody stole a metal straw from a bar. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then in claiming it back, they've said it's sentimental. Like, please. Please. Number three on the five most unique lost items left in the back of an Uber,
Starting point is 00:42:41 a trophy similar to what we were talking about earlier of leaving a gold medal behind. Yeah. Someone's won a sports game, maybe had a few beersies after the game and then left their trophy in the back. Number two, organic heirloom tomatoes. Those would be expensive.
Starting point is 00:43:00 They would be. Cook those up into a stew. And the number one, the weirdest, most unique thing left behind in an Uber, a prosthetic eye. Oh, I thought you were about to say a fake leg because those get lost behind all the time. No, no, no. They didn't leave a leg. They've popped their eye out to give it a bit of a shine.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Wouldn't you have a case if you had a fake eye? Like, you know, like a ring case? Yeah, definitely. Or like a little, a silk bag with a tie on it. A silk bag, yes. Like when you put like necklaces in. Yes. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:43:31 Or a velvet bag, yeah, just to keep your eye and good neck. Yeah, prosthetic eyes, organic tomatoes is really, really funny to me. So of course, it's so easy. If you leave something in the back of an Uber, you just go in the app and you go into your trips and you scroll down and it says, find lost item, contact driver, and it sends them a message being like, hey, I think I left my prosthetic eye in the back of your car.
Starting point is 00:43:51 And then you can work out how to get it. Give them a tip because they have to drive all the way back from wherever they are to give you your phone back. It's the least you could do. I think you have to pay for the Uber, right, to your house. Sure. I mean, you should. Maybe, or you definitely should. Flat-footed Hayley, silly little pole, silly little pole.
Starting point is 00:44:12 It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole. Well, today's silly little pole, silly little pole. Well, today's silly little pole. This happened, Anna and I went to the cafe after the show yesterday for some treats, Hayley. That's cute. You went off to work.
Starting point is 00:44:34 And then we were in line. It was very busy. So chocker. It's good. It was good, though, because I think a lot of people have come back into the city to work. They're not working from home. So I was like, you know what? I don't mind waiting in this line because it means, you know,
Starting point is 00:44:48 that the city's vibrant. You know, I'm such a positive person. That's exactly what you said when we walked in and there were 50 people. And so we're in line and then this guy, this lady in front of us turns around and waves at her friend that had just walked into the cafe and he joined
Starting point is 00:45:04 her right in front of us cutting in brazenly. Now look, I know it sucks when this happens in front of you and it happens all the time in lines to like the fairy or the fairy
Starting point is 00:45:19 You know, I do mean the Waiheke fairy. The tooth fairy or the fairy? Because you said fairy. Fairy. You said like a fairy in a woodland, twinkly fairy. I'm catching the fairy. Okay, fine.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Or, you know, like when this used to happen at like theme parks. Yeah. You're like, eh, excuse me. But look, ask yourself, have you done this before yes i have yes i do all the time we're gonna stand separate to your friend and order at different times no but then but then it's like if the friends if you're making one order that's fine right it's still gonna take a little bit longer but if you're doing two individual orders, go to the back. No, no. I actually think, I hate it
Starting point is 00:46:07 when it's done in front of me, but also I understand why people do it. Right, so the rule is, if you're doing it, it's fine, but if somebody else is doing it, it's not fine. Yes. So that, when we ask the question, is it okay to join a friend in line if it means you are technically
Starting point is 00:46:24 cutting in? And there's a bit of a split on this, but 61% of people, the majority, say, yeah, it's fine to cut in. Whereas 39% are like, no way. Get to the back, back of the line. But again, if they were doing it, it would probably be fine.
Starting point is 00:46:43 Absolutely, yeah. We're all, one thing we know about humans is we're all huge hypocrites. How's about how producer Anna saw a very well-known celebrity push in, didn't you? She did. I didn't think we were going to
Starting point is 00:47:00 talk about this on the radio. Yes, I did. At a supermarket, no less. Were the people rioting? Yes, I was near the back of the line and probably 20 metres from aforementioned celebrity and all of the people around me were speaking so loudly that I'm pretty sure this person heard the absolute slander.
Starting point is 00:47:20 They didn't get to the back of the line. They continued. They continued. Wow. Brazenly. I was really surprised to hear back of the line. They continued. They continued. Wow. Praisingly. And it's against the... Yeah, I was really surprised to hear which celebrity, because, you know, they're lovely.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Oh, she is. Oh, sorry. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Sorry. Hope she doesn't hear. Have you ever used your celebrity power, Carl Fletcher, to... That's a very... Cut the line?
Starting point is 00:47:44 That's a loose term celebrity, isn't it? Celebrity status. Okay, we have some messages in from our silly little poll. Vanessa says, unless you arrive together, don't be rude. Get to the back. Denise says, it's fine
Starting point is 00:48:02 if it's part of the same transaction. This is what you were saying. Not fine if not. It's going to take longer though, isn says it's fine if it's part of the same transaction. This is what you were saying. Yeah, but it's... Not fine if not. If you're... It's going to take longer, though, isn't it? Seconds-wise. It could be an extra 30 seconds. Yeah, because you've got to put it through the air.
Starting point is 00:48:13 And then the person slowly touches their screen. Oh. Yeah. Uh, they're calling it, it's cut seas. It's cut seas. Brittany says, yes, you can cut the line if you are only buying one or two items. But lots of items or a big order of food.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Not cool, man. Yeah. Not cool. I'd agree with that. Shay says, it's okay when I'm doing it, but I'll be mega pissed if someone else does it to me. Yeah. Yeah. That's just entitlement, really, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:48:37 Very entitled. Rhiannon says, absolutely not. If you haven't waited like everyone else, get walking to the back, mate. Yeah. If you do this, like everyone else, get walking to the back, mate. Yeah. If you do this, you're an actual twat. That's what they said. I don't know if that's a real swear word, but I've said it. Michael, if it's
Starting point is 00:48:54 more than one person, then no. Like if you're a group. Yep. Oh, like what about if a family joined dad in the line for the ferry? That's not on, eh? Yeah, but what if the ferry line gets cut off and dad makes it on the boat and then the family join Dad in the line for the ferry? That's not on, eh? Yeah, but what if the ferry line gets cut off and Dad makes it on the boat and then the family gets left behind and they're like, Dad, Dad!
Starting point is 00:49:12 Dad's like, I'll wait for you. Or the family gets on and then they cut it off right at you before you're about to get on the ferry. That's my family, they're like, oh, yeah, sure. And Tonya says if you're actually with that friend and maybe you nipped out to the loo or something, then you jump back in, all goods. But if it's just a mate and you spot them in the line too,
Starting point is 00:49:31 F no. You can't just jump in there with them, wait your damn term, and I'll be saying something about it if you do too. And then Laura says, depends on the line that you're getting caught in, how long the line is. You can't cut in if the line is 50 or something.
Starting point is 00:49:49 That's just rude. If it's one or two people, absolutely jump on in. Okay. Yeah, so we're quite split there, really, at the end of the day. A little bit split. I think what's revealed is that we're all hypocrites. And entitled brats. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and brats. Play ZM's Fletch Vornanale.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Play ZM. Well, we all know the state of health care in America is not great. It does not work for very many people at all. And that was the case for an Irish woman who's based in Georgia, in the United States. And she had an issue with her tooth. It was a root canal that was needed. I've never
Starting point is 00:50:30 had one but I've heard they're absolutely horrendous. I've had one. You get the injection so you don't feel it but they're tedious because they have to basically get a pipe cleaner and get it in. It's horrible. And they have to clean out the roots and then you've got to get a crown. It's horrible. And they have to clean out the roots and then they, and then you've got to
Starting point is 00:50:46 get a crown. It can be thousands of dollars. Thousands of thousands of dollars. In New Zealand it can be, yeah. That's right. So she was, you know, having a lot of tooth pain, went to the dentist. It was going to cost her $3,099 US dollars. Oh wow. What's that?
Starting point is 00:51:02 USD to NZD. God, getting close to five grand New Zealand. Nearly five grand New Zealand. And that's just the root canal. So if you had to get a crown afterwards, unimaginable amount. Yeah. And the kicker is, well, she has insurance, but their insurance coverage is so weird over there.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Right. It doesn't work. Anyway, so she was like, oh, my God, I can't afford this, but I'm in so much pain. What am I going to do? Mexico. No do? Mexico. No, not Mexico. She was sharing all of this on her TikTok.
Starting point is 00:51:30 Right, because a lot of people in America just pop over the border to Mexico. Yeah, where everything is so much cheaper. You can just go to a pharmacy and get it done. Yeah. Well, what she discovered was flights to Turkey were nice and cheap from the States. And she found a reputable dentist in Turkey that had rave reviews and all up, including seven days accommodation, flights there and back, cost her $1,167.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Wow. And she got to have a little holiday in Turkey. Because I've had a root canal and a crown after the root canal, and you saw, like, for that afternoon, but then you've got the other six and a half days to holiday. I know, you can just have all, like, soft food, like baba ghanoush and hummus. But only for that.
Starting point is 00:52:23 And some meat. Yeah, only for that, like that few hours after your root canal, then you're just normal. Yeah, so the root canal itself in Turkey cost her $160. Wow. We looked up before because a lot of people, you know, they go on holiday and they get work done in Thailand, a lot of dental work done.
Starting point is 00:52:42 And I know pre-pandemic, if you say you had a couple of root canals or your wisdom or some fillings, it would honestly be cheaper to get flights to Thailand. You can have a delicious panang curry afterwards and yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, and a rub to make you feel better. So I looked up a root canal in Thailand, it's 53 New Zealand
Starting point is 00:53:00 dollars. And I've seen some of those dental places in like Bangkok, they're legit legit nice like they're so good I mean obviously New Zealand the New Zealand Dental Federation of Dentists would probably warn against it because the Federation of Dental Dentists of Dental Dentists they yeah well they get upset because there's no aftercare you fly home and if they've done a bad job you're kind of screwed basically. Yeah, totally.
Starting point is 00:53:27 But I mean like the internet, right? You just look up reputable places as she did in a place that is cheap for you to fly. And, you know, what could possibly go wrong? I have thought about this before. I remember like the first time I went to Thailand, everyone's like, are you going to get anything done? And I was like, I don't really have anything. I guess I have perfect teeth and so that was a wasted opportunity
Starting point is 00:53:48 yeah but this I wanted to know because a lot of people do this like a lot of people go to Thailand or the likes yeah for the boob jobs very popular over there but why I've recently had my boobs done but I went private because they were like oh you don't want to go to you know Phuket and you know they one of them goes all skew if and you know yeah but yours I'd say they're sitting a little low I reckon well yeah well we don't have any holidays until you know July so maybe I could get them redone then yeah get them redone and I think you went you went too small so So pump them up. I've actually got a valve. I got the ones with the valve. And yeah, so
Starting point is 00:54:29 I just pump them up if I want them bigger. But no, they do warn against that. But then people, I know people that have had them done like, and there are other places that, like a lot of those Southeast Asian countries, maybe Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, do they do a lot of the medical tourism as well? I wonder as well, like you'd have
Starting point is 00:54:46 to ring your health insurance right and say I'm going to get my boobs done in Kuala Lumpur like will you cover that if they go skewer and they'll probably say no. Probably, yeah. We're not going to do that. Alright, well, yeah, we want to take your calls this morning. 0800 dials at M text as well 9696. Have
Starting point is 00:55:02 you had a medical holiday or been overseas yeah even better did it go wrong oh yeah i don't know if anyone's gonna admit to that terrible tits but you do you do hear about like yeah the odd thing going wrong but most people are like i saved so much money and i had a holiday we want to hear about all of them the good and the bad so have you had a medical holiday how much cheaper was it talking about a woman that's gone viral on TikTok for her medical holiday to Turkey. Yeah, it was going to cost her thousands and thousands and thousands
Starting point is 00:55:32 to get a root canal done in America. So she looked at Turkey and it was only going to cost her $160 plus $200 accommodation and some cheap return flights. And she gets a holiday out of it. And she goes to beautiful Turkey, one of the most beautiful places to go. And we've asked if you've ever been on a medical holiday and wow, so many, so many responses.
Starting point is 00:55:54 I love this. So many responses and people are getting so many things done. It's got me thinking. Well, I'll tell you what, the dentistry foundation of Dentists and Assistants are not going to be happy with all of this. No, I know, but there are some others.
Starting point is 00:56:07 Or the New Zealand Boob Service. No. I'll read a couple of messages. A root canal in Fiji is $7. Is that? I don't know if I'd be trusting a root canal from Fiji. But hang on. But hang on. But hang on.
Starting point is 00:56:25 Hang on. If you want numbing gel, which you do, it's $12. You want the injection. You want them not. No, no, no. In Fiji, just the gel. Just the gel. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:35 Rarotonga, also cheap for dental care, and they all train in New Zealand. So same quality of training. All good then. Someone says Thailand is legit. A lot of teeth. I went to get got wisdom teeth removed, and they fixed a couple of things that were a bit weird, and they fixed some shoddy work that had been done in New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:56:53 Yeah, because I remember seeing a lot of those places in Thailand, and they're state-of-the-art. Like, they're so nice. Oh, I know. They've actually offered to give us some recommendations for next time we go to Thailand. Christy joins us. Good morning, Christy.
Starting point is 00:57:06 Good morning. Now, you had a medical holiday. Whereabouts? Tijuana, Mexico. Oh. What did you get done in Mexico? I had gastric fleas. Right, because that is...
Starting point is 00:57:20 But then you can't eat all the tacos afterwards. They didn't take anything out, fortunately. Right. A lot of people did warn me. It is a very, Tijuana's an interesting place. A lot of people pop over if they're in California for a day trip. It's not a very good representation of how beautiful and wonderful Mexico is. No, no.
Starting point is 00:57:39 It is where a lot of Americans go for medical procedures, isn't it? Yes. Yeah, it is. We flew into L.A. with my mum because she wouldn't let me go by myself. And to get it done here, I was looking at like $24,000, $26,000. Right. And what did it cost you there? It came to $5,500 New Zealand dollars.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Wow. And how did it go for you having a gastric sleeve? Well, I mean, they do it every day. Like they specialize in dollars. Wow. And how did it go for you, having a gastric sleeve? Well, I mean, they do it every day. Like, they specialise in it. Yeah. So they literally do, like, six or seven a day in it. So that gave me reassurance. It's all they do.
Starting point is 00:58:15 And I've lost 85 kilos now. Oh, wow. Congratulations. Because that's what Paula Bennett had, eh? She had that. Yeah, yeah. Wow, okay. There's another message here
Starting point is 00:58:25 because I'm glad you had a good experience. They said, I went to Tijuana to get my stomach stapled. The hotel pool was a paddling pool and the surgery
Starting point is 00:58:33 was done in a mall. I'm home now but I think I've lost a kidney. Oh, damn. No, mine wasn't really nice. Yeah, I feel like you've got to do your research and if people online
Starting point is 00:58:43 are saying good things, then go for it. But, yeah, if you're getting one-star reviews at a place, maybe pull out of that. Thank you, Chrissy. Stacey, what was your medical holiday? I went to Argentina to get my boobs done with my sister-in-law. Stacey, oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:59:01 Nice. Okay, and so were you just travelling around South America or you just went there specifically for the cheap boobs? We specifically went there for the cheap boobs. My friend had hers done previously by the surgeon, so we went over and did it with him again. And, yeah, it went all good. It was really...
Starting point is 00:59:17 My boobs looked fantastic. Right. You've got good-looking boobs here. Good boobs, good boobs. Good for you. Now, how much were the boobs in New Zealand dollars? You have to translate the currency. Well, the whole trip cost, so flights, accommodation and boobs, $6,000.
Starting point is 00:59:33 Oh, wow. That was pre-pandemic, though, right? Absolutely. That's like 2012. These boobs have aged. Wow, that's so cheap, though, because what would you be looking at here in new zealand like um like minimum 15 grand for boobs yeah right wait a second see did you get this done in 2012.
Starting point is 00:59:53 yeah aren't you due for some new boobs isn't it every time that's a myth but that's the myth you're supposed to get them checked every 10 years and then if they're if they're like if they're doing okay then yes you you can you know you're fine but if they're then if they're doing okay, then yes, you're fine, but if they're a little bit lopsided or if there's some leakage or stuff like that, then yes, you should get them replaced. Leakage! If there's some leakage, that's not very reassuring, Stacey. No, Stacey.
Starting point is 01:00:18 Well, I'm glad you've got a good set of boobs and no leakage. Yes, they're driving over, like they show you in the video of a car driving over them, so they're all good. Wait, before they show you in the video of a car driving over them. So, like, they're all good. Wait, before they take you in for a boob job, they show you a video of cars driving over boob implants. Yep. Wow.
Starting point is 01:00:37 That's amazing. Wow. Well, I guess. Heavy duty boobs. Yeah, heavy duty. They're not going to pop, are they? Thanks. You're called Stacey. Another Stacey.
Starting point is 01:00:44 You've had a Thailand medical holiday. I did, yeah. I went to Bangkok, and yeah, it was great. I had what they call a mummy makeover. Oh, okay. So what's that? Is that boobies, tummy? Yes, both.
Starting point is 01:00:59 Oh, great. And how did it go for you? Well, the surgery went well, but when I woke up, I kind of laid there and I was like, oh, my hand feels weird. And if anyone's seen Harry Potter, there's this bit where he breaks his hand and she's flopping his hand about, and that's what happened. And so they damaged the tendons in my arms.
Starting point is 01:01:17 So where I'd been strapped down for so long on the table, because it took about eight hours for full surgery, it damaged the nerves in my arms, so my hand stopped working. So they sent me to, but I have to say they did really, really well with me. They sent me to the top neurologist in Bangkok, and I was checked out because they were saying, you're not going home until we know you're okay.
Starting point is 01:01:38 And it was just by Christmas. So, yeah, and then they sent me home. But it took about three months for my hand to come right. But my boobs and everything else look great. You're not a bloody load on the back of a trailer. How hard are they strapping you down for surgery? Well, when they do your boobs, you see, they put your boobs in and then they have to sit you up
Starting point is 01:01:56 to check they're even and everything. Yeah. So they strap you down almost like, I don't want to, but with your arms out straight beside you, almost like on, I was going to say on a cross, I don't want to, with your arms out straight beside you, almost like on, I wasn't going to say on a cross, I don't want to offend anyone, but yeah, your arms are strapped down. Like you're on the cross. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:11 Yeah. Like crossed on the cross, I'll say it. Wow. And did you, did they play you the video of the car running over the boobs? No, no. Oh, you missed out. Because I went to New Zealand doctor first to see how much it was going to cost here, and they quoted me over $60, no. Oh, you missed out. I went to New Zealand doctor first to see how much it was going to cost here. And they quoted me over $60,000.
Starting point is 01:02:29 And how much did you pay in Thailand for everything? Okay, for everything. And I extended the tummy tuck round and everything. I got it for $26,000. And that was with first class flights back and forth. And I get forever to scare children and tell them that I was in a magic show and it went wrong or something because that's why I've got the scar all the way around. Amazing.
Starting point is 01:02:51 Amazing. Stacey, thank you for sharing some texts to finish up. There's so many medical holidays. So many. I went to Thailand to get my ears pinned back and now one of them sticks out more than the other. I'd be flying back and asking for a redo. Yes. the other i'd be flying back and asking for a redo yes a lot of dentists saying we fix a lot of post
Starting point is 01:03:08 holiday uh dental work is this a text in from the dentist federations of dentists yeah absolutely uh anonymous says i went to bangkok for two weeks had a tummy tuck and liposuction and my friend got new dentures key is it's research research research yeah i went to south africa for a breast reduction cost five thousand dollars instead of twenty thousand dollars they did an amazing job a lot of teeth work boobs done in kuala lumpur but a head plastic surgeon for in all of malaysia uh private hospital holiday had a great did a great job uh please don't call me congrats on the new boobs when i was travel agent, I would book groups of girls to fly over together to Thailand for boob jobs.
Starting point is 01:03:50 I wonder if you got them on the way back and they were sort of the seatbelts. Oh, no. But you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. They were sort of wrapped up. Sent my husband overseas to get his teeth fixed for $4,000 instead of $12,000 here in New Zealand. And I had my varicose veins done in Bali, $2,000 instead of $12,000 here in New Zealand. And I had my varicose veins done in Bali, $2,000 instead of $10,000.
Starting point is 01:04:09 But my veins are back and worse than ever. Oh, okay. Well, sounds like someone needs another Bali holiday. Yeah. Or maybe try Thailand this time. They might do the veins better. A lot of people. I mean, there's only like one negative thing.
Starting point is 01:04:24 Otherwise, everyone's just said I've, you know, did a lot of research and it went really well. So I think that's the key, research. Yeah. Research, research. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. may not be true. Oh, Hayley.
Starting point is 01:05:10 James Sproul. Stick with me. Okay. Okay. Okay. Today's fact of the day is that... Ward is going to be very upset if you do a fake fact of the day because he has the highest standards. He's going to be rolling in his COVID grave
Starting point is 01:05:23 if this doesn't go well for him. Today's fact of the day is that hippos have bright pink milk. Hippos milk, just search hippo milk. It is bright pink. Now, this is because, the reason I think this is because is that hippos secrete two kinds of unique acids called hippocodoric acid, which I imagine is only in hippos,
Starting point is 01:05:50 and norahiposodoric acid, again, particular to the hippo. Yeah. This forms a reddish color in their milk known as blood sweat, though it is neither blood nor sweat. Right. Their sweat is orange and their blood is red, but that's not what is making the milk pink. But apparently, yeah, so when they're milking,
Starting point is 01:06:15 like they've got white milk like most animals. Yeah. But when the acids get combined with the milk, it turns it a kind of pinky colour. So while the hippo milk isn't actually pink, it comes out pink because of the acids that get mixed in it. So this is why my fact is not a fact. It's a sometimes fact because it could be pink, but mostly it's white. Mostly it's white.
Starting point is 01:06:43 Is that a good fact of the day? That hippo's milk is sometimes pink, but it's mostly white. Mostly it's white. Right. Is that a good fact of the day? That hippo's milk is sometimes pink, but it's mostly white, but it's sometimes pink. I mean, it would certainly if you were collecting the milk, it would shock you, right, if it came out strawberry. Absolutely. Like it looks like strawberry coloured milk. It looks like delicious strawberry milk, but I then
Starting point is 01:07:00 did Google, can humans drink hippo milk? And then the most common answer is sure, if you can get hold of some. Because, of course, hippos are the most dangerous animal in the world. Yeah, they kill the most people, right? The hippo. Yeah, yeah. Or is that the rhino?
Starting point is 01:07:17 No, hippos. Yeah, hippos. If you see a hippo, it's probably too late. Because you look at them and you think, look at that fat tubby hippo. But it will run you down and kill you. And they do. They're huge. So today's fact of the day is that hippo milk is sometimes pink.
Starting point is 01:07:38 Fact of the day, day, day, day, day yeah do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do play ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley well a study's been done in the UK into food delivery drivers and it turns out and this is a shocking statistic, especially because a lot of food places put a sticker
Starting point is 01:08:08 or a staple on their food bags. Yes. Eight in 10 delivery drivers admit to eating a customer's food. Absolutely. 100%. I would do this. Like, it's chip tax. Everyone knows the chip tax.
Starting point is 01:08:23 I know. Or just like, it depends on the meal, I guess. I remember once ordering Thai food and it arrived and the roti wasn't there. And I was like, they've eaten it. They've eaten my flaky roti. And then I ended up ringing the restaurant and being like, half my order didn't arrive. Not half my order. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:43 And I was really annoyed. Roti's where it's at. Yeah. And I was like, half my order didn't arrive. Not half my order. Yeah. I was really annoyed. Roti's where it's at. Yeah. And I was like, my roti didn't arrive. And then they said we definitely packed it. Really? You can't eat a roti. Like, you could eat a mini spring roll out of a 20 spring roll pack.
Starting point is 01:08:57 But you can't get rid of the roti that everybody is looking forward to dipping or eating. You know you just admitted on radio that when you order spring rolls, you get 20 of them, eh? The little ones, yeah. The little mini ones. The little mini ones. I mean, it equates to like one big one. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:11 Like I'm not getting 20 massive ones. No, no, no. But yeah, so 8 in 10 delivery workers admit to eating food that they are delivering. The survey also looks at other behaviours of these delivery drivers. Do you reckon they're lipping our straws? Do you reckon they're having a little... No, surely not.
Starting point is 01:09:32 It's like a rule on the straw? Unless they open up the plastic lid and just have a little sip. A little swig from the side. Straight from the... It's not all they're doing. Eating food, another 10% say they've had to urinate in a bottle while making their deliveries. More than a quarter, 27%, say that they've had less than professional conversations with people they deliver goods to and food to. And this was an interesting but sad one.
Starting point is 01:09:58 As a side to this study, two in five people say that customers place orders just to use them in a TikTok video or a social media video. Oh, no. How sad is that? That's not their job. No, they're not your extras in your life production. And I bet they're ordering like a fry. Yeah, a bag of. A medium fry.
Starting point is 01:10:23 Yeah, a bag of... A medium fry. Yeah, a bag of Skittles. But yeah, the big takeaway from this takeaway delivery driver study is that 8 in 10 workers admit to eating a customer's food. Now, we asked on Instagram. Yes, we certainly did. And we have some responses in. I will give them to you anonymously as to protect them. Okay. Our first response, when I was 16,
Starting point is 01:10:43 I used to eat bits of onion bhaji while delivering for an Indian restaurant. Yum. That's a good steal. Yeah, because you're not, like chips, you're not going to know how many you ordered. Oh my god, totally. And the place local to us gives us like a sack of them. You want to know. Yeah. Enjoy your bhaji. I used to deliver
Starting point is 01:10:59 pizzas and would always sneak a chip or three out of the box if they ordered chips on the side. Yum. You got a chip tax. Chip tax, yep. I would only eat their food if they did not collect their order and I couldn't reach them.
Starting point is 01:11:13 I think that's fair game. That's just no wastage. That's probably good for the planet, isn't it? Yeah. Absolutely. Here's a bit of a guilty one. I feel bad now, but when we were busy, I used to sneak a dessert or a garlic bread
Starting point is 01:11:26 and then we'd just re-deliver. That definitely sounds like a pizza hut, doesn't it? Or a Domino's. I used to work in a hotel restaurant 100%. I would steal a few fries from room service. Well, that's easy because you get in the elevator, there'd be no camera, and you just take off that silver thing they put over
Starting point is 01:11:46 the food, and you just have a chip. Easy. I totally have a chip. One time I got my Uber Eats order, and someone had drunk a quarter of my Coke, sad face. No, you can't lip someone else's drink.
Starting point is 01:12:02 That's putting your germs on their food. We've got a final message in that says, You can't lip someone else's drink. That's putting your germs on their food. I know, they've lipped the straw. And we've got a final message in that says, oh my God, I have the best story. So Anonymous, you're talking a big game here. Let's see.
Starting point is 01:12:16 When I was younger, my family ordered pizza for dinner and when they arrived, we opened the box of fries and I was like, cool. They've put like a herb seasoning on them. That's new. And my dad inspected the chips closer and then went outside with a torch. The delivery guy had dropped our chips on the lawn but just picked them back up and still gave them to us.
Starting point is 01:12:35 My dad had mowed the lawn that day so we just got all of the clippings in the box. Oh, the poor guy's really freaking out. Like, he's going to have to pay. I mean, at least like shake them off, right? Oh, my God, no. Just leave them on the ground. And just say, I'm so sorry I've dropped the chips.
Starting point is 01:12:52 They'll probably be like, oh, that's fine. Yeah. But gross! So, anyway, it's definitely happening in New Zealand as well. And I just say, go for it. You work hard. Yeah. You have chips.
Starting point is 01:13:01 Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, I got home yesterday to a bit of a surprise. I came home after filming Bake Off and I was like, God, I'm exhausted. I can't wait to just drop my stuff and basically go to bed. And I went into my bedroom and it was no longer there. I was like... What?
Starting point is 01:13:20 Wait, wait, what? I'm tired, but like I'm not... What's happening? So, yeah, I mean, as I've mentioned before, we're currently renovating, and at the back of our house is like an old extension that was maybe done in like the 60s or something. Back when you didn't need to check or run extensions
Starting point is 01:13:38 through the council, that was just silly. Oh, nah, they just got old neighbour Jimmy to pop over the fence and slap together this lean-to at the back. And it's, yeah, it's not solid. And that's your bedroom. It was your bedroom. Well, it was.
Starting point is 01:13:52 That's the master bedroom. And it has been freezing as the temperatures have been dropping. The rest of our house, toasty warm. Our bedroom, absolutely freezing. But also leaking on you, too, every time it rains, right? Like, raining inside, it's so bad. Like the roof is made out of like kind of flaky material and I went to go like, oh my god the roof and I just like shoved my finger right through it and this water went. But yeah it's
Starting point is 01:14:16 been running inside for a few days. Right. And then yesterday morning I woke up obviously very early to come on radio and I slipped because the wooden floorboards were like absolutely soaking wet. Oh, wow. So have you been sleeping with a bucket in between you both to catch your drips? It hasn't been on the bed, thank God. It's been just next to us. We've just been putting down a towel. New Zealand houses, eh?
Starting point is 01:14:39 So good. I know, this one. This one's very old, but the oldest bit is good, and the newer bit is terrible. So anyway, it's getting bold as part of our renovations, but we've just been trying to, like, get through it until we can actually get there. But Aaron yesterday decided it was enough. So when I came home yesterday, the bed was gone.
Starting point is 01:14:57 Everything was gone. Like, it's just an empty room now with some plants in it. And I was like, ooh, wait a minute. And then I had to go searching through the house to find where I'm sleeping. Your bedroom. So he made an executive decision about moving
Starting point is 01:15:14 bedrooms without talking to you. How do you feel about that? I think it was a good decision. It was freezing and wet. I'm going to say there was definitely some fuzzy things growing in the corner of the roof. and wet. I mean, I'm going to say there was definitely some sort of fuzzy things growing in the corner of the roof.
Starting point is 01:15:30 And just probably not good for us all around. So anyway, I found our bedroom in what was the baby room of the previous employees. Employees? Previous owners? I'm always thinking about work. And that's because the room that I'm in now,
Starting point is 01:15:46 which is the bigger spare room, I mean, this is now my home radio studio. Well, you can't move in there. No, and we make wardrobes and da-da-da-da-da. So, yeah, we're in the baby's room. We've crammed our massive bed into this tiny room. Like, it's wall-to-wall. But silver lining, it's not going to rain on you when it rains.
Starting point is 01:16:06 It's terrible, eh, when you're living in a house and the silver lining is, hey, at least it's not raining on us in bed. Yeah, I know. It's New Zealand, eh? Like, you know, how many people are going to bed at the moment with puffer jackets on? Oh, my God, that used to be so well-intended all the time. I know, right? It's puffer jacket in bed season.
Starting point is 01:16:23 Yes, exactly. So, anyway, that's where we'll be until we build a new room in the baby's room. Which I'm sure will be super quick with all the building supply issues. Oh, yeah, yeah. We've got a garage full of jib. Full of jib and wood. And we've just been hauling it.
