The ZM Podcast Network. The Fleshpawn and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Good morning, welcome to the show. Fleshpawn and Hayley, she's a chilly start to the day. Thank God. Okay, coldest temperatures right now.

Christchurch is on minus four. Whoa. Okay, it's a bit chilly. Minus two in Queenstown. The coldest place is Twizel on minus four. Whoa. Okay, it's a bit chilly. Minus two in Queenstown. The coldest place is Twizel, minus six. And Auckland has the warmest temperature at the moment, 10.6. Yeah. It wasn't super cold, was it?

Five in the capital. It was 18 the other day, though. That's no good. That was insane. That was nuts. Yesterday was also very warm in the afternoon. Yeah. Yeah, well, not today.

She's cold. This could warm you up, though. $8,000. Is it a jackpot? Well, yeah, it's jackpotted since Monday. It goes up fast, doesn't it? It really does. $500 each time if it's not got.

Five on time. Eight o'clock is your next chance to play. You've just got to get through when you hear the activator. Say time at exactly 5.00 seconds and you win that cash. We had a close one yesterday. Our guesser in the morning yesterday was 0.05. Top of the leaderboard. Short.

Yeah. I mean, good from her. Good guess. Well, your chance to win $8,000 is coming up at eight o'clock. The top six on the way. Yes. Chance to win $8,000 is coming up at 8 o'clock. The top six on the way. Yes, the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, or NIWA as we all know them, is apparently shutting down the part of their business

that looks into air pollution, the air quality team. This is for industrial air pollution. When everyone lights their fires in winter, et cetera, et cetera, it lets you know the quality of air. Apparently it's a funding issue. It's going to be disestablished. So I've got the top six signs. Your ear's no good.

Okay. You're no good. Because we won't have them to tell us that it's no good. I'm going to give you six things to watch out for. Okay, great. Jeepers. Lucky you're looking out for us, Vaughn. Honestly, thank God.

I don't want to say I should be running the show, but... Hey, well, Vaughn, I'm just seeing what's coming up next. And on the sheet, it says Fletch's fun fact. Now, I thought you were our fact guy. I am in charge of facts. But this one's... Well, I'm happy for you if you want to do this. I just think it's interesting that Fletch has dipped his toe into facts territory.

No, it's just interesting. And he's claiming that his is fun. Now, you never make the claim. Well, I never make it fun. I make my fun. It's daily. My facts. Factual.

Factual. Factual, factual facts. Fun might be a byproduct, but it sure isn't what I set out to have. Well, it certainly isn't fun this week with Calendar Week. I'll say that right now. I'll say it. I'm getting lots of great support about Calendar Week. Because Hayley and I are seeing none of these messages coming in.

No, no. People are loving Calendar Week. We're being bombarded. No, do you know what, guys? Next, we've got some quite big elephant news in the world of Allifants. None of these messages coming in. No, no. We're being bombarded. No, do you know what, guys? Next, we've got some quite big elephant news in the world of elephants. Are we heading to the elephant desk? We'll go to the elephant desk next.

Fantastic. Big elephant news, guys. Big elephant news. Wow, they're big elephants, aren't they? New research published on Monday claims that African elephants call each other and respond to individual names. Do they? Like Mark and Keith and stuff. Hey, Mark. What is it, Keith?

They're African elephants. I don't know if they'd be called. Oh, okay. Well, you do want to give us some names. Tawanda. Tawanda, sure. That's my friend from Africa. That sounds good. I don you do want to give us some names. Tawanda. Tawanda, sure. That's my friend from Africa. That sounds good. I just went with that. You just went with that name that you know

from Africa. Yeah. Well, the names are part of elephants' low rumbles that they can hear over long distances, like across the savannah. Scientists believe that the animals have unique names for each other. Jesus. Tembo. That's actually Swahili for elephant. Is it? each other. Jesus.

Tembo. That's actually Swahili for elephant. Is it? Tembo. Okay. Tembo. It's a good name for an elephant. So they're saying that this is... It's an elephant called elephant though.

It's quite rare for... I mean, we do it as humans. Obviously, we give our dogs names, but they say dolphins do this. Baby dolphins invent their own names. Parrots as well. But otherwise, it's very rare, and they reckon that this is how they communicate.

So like an identifying sort of title. Like a low rumble. Elephants are smart, eh? That was the whole thing. Well, that's where they're saying an elephant never forgets. Oh, they never forget. Because do you remember what was that ad, that chocolate ad? Was it Rolos?

Yeah, Rolos. Where the circus what was that ad, that chocolate ad? Was it Rolos? Yeah. Where the kid at the circus teased an elephant with a Rolo and they went, um, and ate it. And then years later, as a grown man, the elephant was walking in a parade and just walks over and smacks him. Because he remembers. Because he remembers that he robbed them of a Rolo. Promised them a Rolo. So are they, but

obviously they're not, so they're just sounds really. They're sounds, yeah. But to them, that's a name. Yeah, well, that's what a name is. That's what we do, right? We're making a sound. Halo. Halo.

That's my sound. Elephants are smart. But yeah, apparently they used a machine. The elephants did. No, the scientists. The scientists, they used a machine to detect the different sounds. And they were like, they were all unique. Well, that's posh.

It's posh, isn't it? It is posh. It's posh out there. Yeah. In the world of science. Do we have any elephants? Have we got, didn't our one die? We had two.

One died. One was supposed to move to Sydney and then last minute cancelled her OE. Right. Was that a visa issue cancelled her OE. Right. Was that a visa issue? A visa issue. Yeah, well, all these South Africans, they come from Africa to New Zealand to try to get in, shoehorn themselves into Australia.

Yeah. Burma? Is that the one that's left or is that the one that cashed? We moved them to Australia. Burma and Anjali. Nah, Anjali never left. But one... Nah, one's still there, isn't it?

It's running here that says New Zealand to move its only two elephants to Australia. We're devastated by the reality that we will no longer have elephants in New Zealand. Date me. Date of article.

Date of article. No. Date of article. Hang on, the internet's gone quite slow here. Citation. Date of article. Asian elephant,

rare and endangered species. 2021 was this article. Yeah. You think they stayed? It's 2024. This isn't as embarrassing as Fletch sent that article from 2006 to the group chat. We should talk about this on the show. I think we did, my dude, in 2006.

I can't remember. Here we go. Auckland Zoo. This is from last year. Okay. News of potential long-term option for elephant Burma because he can't just be on his own. Yeah.

Because Anjali went to, oh, to Dubbo. To Dubbo. Big, beautiful zoo there. Safari, you have to drive golf carts around it or bikes. Oh, wow. It's huge. It's huge. Oh, that's nice.

It's lovely. But then did we keep the other one, Burma? Yeah. Burma is continuing to do extremely well here at Auckland Zoo thanks to our incredible elephant team. How embarrassing, there's only one elephant. You've got a whole team. However, in the longer term,

we know that she needs to be with other elephants. Yeah, because they say they've got their names. They've got names for each other. So currently there's no, I think Burma's still here, but lonely. Right. Lonely. So we're trying to get rid of Burma. For the good of Burma.

Right. For Burma's. Where do they, is it a ship thing or do they? It's a ship thing. Thumb her into a plane. They don't thumb her into a 747. Nah. Yeah, and you're telling me I can't take eight KGs in my hand luggage.

You've got a big fat elephant downstairs. Nah, there's no, it's a ship. It's a ship. Do you remember when they were transporting that giraffe? Yes. And we thought how funny it would be to see it and then we saw it. Yeah, there's no... I can hear it. It's a ship. It's a ship. Do you remember when they were transporting that giraffe? Yes. And we thought how funny it would be to see it and then we saw it. Yeah, on the motorway.

Yeah. That's crazy. You saw it. They built a big trailer for it. Yeah. Yeah, it was pretty cool. And they had to take a special way because there was a couple of motorway over bridges

that the giraffe was too tall for. Well, we all saw Hangover. The Hangover. Correct. Where the giraffe's head gets decapitated. Travelling a giraffe. Oh, I want to see it. I didn't see it. Google that in your own time.

No, I want to do it on the company dime, thank you. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Now, especially when it comes to flying long haul, which I haven't done since 2019. 2018. Okay, so like six years ago years ago Yeah I think that's

When I was in Oman I mean Bali I wouldn't Say is long haul It's pretty short It's mid haul Mid haul Yeah How long is Bali

Directs to Toa Raza right No Australia though 6 hours 6 to Perth It's like Australia It's not long

It's not long But When I do fly long haul Particularly like all the way to Europe or something I love a drink, I always have a drink on the plane One, it's free Two, you're excited Three, it's free

Four, they don't charge you for it And five, if you have a nice warm sort of whiskey Helps you fall asleep Yeah, but they say one in the skies with two on the ground Yeah, like, warm sort of whiskey, helps you fall asleep. Yeah, but they say one in the skies with two on the ground. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you wake up feeling, like, shy. And this is what this article,

the study I'm reading now, is about, saying don't drink on planes. It presents a whole myriad of health problems. And they did a study where they, like, gave people of varying health quality, I guess, young, fit, older, some with pre-existing conditions. They gave them alcohol. They put some in the air and they kept some on the earth at sea level

and tried to see what the impact was. And it's significantly worse in the air. Really? Yeah. And you see your heart rate goes up, your oxygen levels drop down, even in young, healthy, fit people. Oh, wow.

And then if you had like a pre-existing condition, it would be like quite dangerous for you. So the more you drink as well, because I think they tested, I'm trying to see how many drinks, two standard drinks. Before takeoff, I assume. You know, in the lounge. Yeah. So they were given two standard drinks before take off I assume in the lounge

yeah so they were given two standard drinks before getting on a plane or staying off the plane and sleeping because that's the thing

it's like going to sleep and then they were tested and yeah their heart rates were skyrocketing they felt like absolute crap they were more dehydrated

less oxygen in the blood. In general, just so much worse in the sky. Because you always think that that kind of like two in the sky is worth one in the whatever, is like a bit of an old wives tale. But that is actually true. I always thought it was more to do with like time zones. Because, you know, if you're like having drinks where you are on earth, say in Auckland,

then you're still going to sleep and waking up in the same time zone. My issue was like you'd have a few drinky-poos, go to sleep, then you wake up and it's like 6am. 6am or something and you're like, oh no, that's terrible. Yeah. But I always like a sleeping pillow and a long haul flyer. It's the only time

I ever take them. Yes, same. So you're not meant to drink when you have those. Not meant to, no. You're not meant to. And it's not encouraging, and we're certainly not encouraging it. No. So if you're going for a long-haul flight, which you are soon, maybe watch how much you drink.

You're celebrating. You're all excited. I'm also like, there's a layover. I'll sort it in the layover. The problem is it's free. And that triggers people. When something is free, you might not normally even indulge. It's like going to events and there's bubbles

and you're like, I'm not paying for this. Absolutely, I'll have six of them. There's some airlines as well. Some airlines you have to order them. You've got to buzz. and so it kind of holds you accountable because you're like buzzing hello can I get another whiskey and dry mine's always whiskey and dry on a plane

maybe for you but some people have zero shame they will just buzz the hell out of that buzzer but there's some airlines like I can't remember if it was like Lufthansa or like one of those where during the flight

they literally like walk down the aisle with like bottles and they're like top up anyone what like, top up anyone? Like coffee. Top up. Yeah, like it's a coffee, but it's like whiskeys and wines and stuff. With wines walking down the aisle being like red wine, white wine, red wine, white wine.

And you're like, well, I wasn't going to, but here you are presenting it before me. Yeah, yeah. As if I'm going to say no. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley from the Panoramic ZM Think Tank. This is the top six. Well, apparently the regional councils urged NIWA not to do it, but NIWA's like, nah-ho. And did it anyway. Cut the air quality team. They understood these cuts are going ahead.

So these are people that look at the air quality around our cities. Correct. And now they won't be. They are a coalition of environment staffers from regional councils. Sexy, sexy stuff, isn't it? Yeah. Really hot. So they basically keep an eye on air quality.

You get it on your phone and stuff to say, should you be outside huffing it? Yeah. Or maybe staying inside with filter to check a mask on. Do we get those warnings on our phone? Like I've been in America and after those bushfires, you know those Canadian wildfires? Yeah.

And I was in Chicago and there was a, like my iPhone was like, probably shouldn't be outside today. Yeah, pop indoors. Cool. Yeah. Okay. So a 2022 study in New Zealand found 3,300 premature deaths a year are attributable to air pollution.

Oh, dearie me. Alongside 13,000 hospitalisations and 13,000 cases of childhood asthma. I thought we lived in 100% clean, green New Zealand. I thought this was clean, green, lean New Zealand. Unbelievable. No, no, no, no, no. Has someone told Chloe Swarbrick that we're not as clean and green as we want? Because I'm happy to text her.

Are you happy to slide into it? I'll just make sure she's aware. I'll forward you this link. Okay. And then you'll be like, hey, are you aware of this? I'll be like, hey, Chloe. Hey, Chloe? Chloe?

Oh, are you on nickname? Should I do a was-up? I don't know. Was-up, Chloe. Was-up, Chloe. Yeah. Are you aware of this? Hon? Air quality no good, babe. Clo, oh, your nickname. Should I do a Waza? I don't know. Waza, Clo Wacker. Waza, Clo Wacker. Yeah. Are you aware of this?

Hon? Air quality no good, babe. Yeah, air quality no good, babes. Oh, my God. Up to. This is awful. Up to. Yeah, should we grab a drink and talk about the air quality?

Should we talk about it because I'm upset? Probably better to be indoors. Somewhere rural where the air's a little bit better. Rural but indoors. Yeah. Like an Airbnb. Yeah. Top six signs your air's no good. Number six on the list. You want a glass of water but you have to tip the air's a little bit better. Rural but indoors. Like an Airbnb. Yeah. Top six signs your air's no good. Number six on the list.

You want a glass of water but you have to tip the air out first. Oh, yuck. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Get the air out of there. Fill up your glass.

It's heavy. Pour it out and then just kind of turn the tap on and get it under. Number five on the list of the top six signs your air's no good.

You just choked on it. No reason. No reason. It's a little thick. Oh, jeepers. Someone said, oh, go down the wrong hole. You'reoked on it. No reason. No reason. It's a little thick. Cheapest. Someone said, oh, go down the wrong hole. You're like, no. Thick. Thick air. Number four

on the list of the top six signs your air is no good. Holding your breath is easier than breathing. Now that's a sign that your air is no good. Or dead. You're dead. Yeah, if you're holding your breath instead of breathing, typically you could be dead. You could be dead. Yeah. You could be dead. Yeah, if you're holding your breath instead of breathing, typically you could be dead. You could be dead.

Death is just one long breath hold. It's a long, sleepy breath hold where your body starts slowly rotting and then soon you return to the earth. From ashes to ashes. That's beautiful, Vaughan. That's so beautiful. You're really stunning imagery.

Number three on the list of the top six signs your ear's no good. Walking is the new swimming. Oh, yeah. Okay. You've got to walk and breathe and tip your head and breathe down your shirt and somehow filter out all the pollutants. Yeah. Number two on the list of the top six signs your ear's no good.

Masks are back, baby. Masks are back. I'll tell you what. Cleaned out an air filter that probably should have been cleaned out about three years ago yesterday. Oh, that's terrible, eh? Did I send you a photo? No. I've got a photo of what they look like brand new. You can, you're a bit of a poetic descriptor

man. You can describe, that's what they look like brand new. That's really white. Really white. Lovely. That's what the filters look like brand new. That's what the ones look like. I hate when you clean out something like that and you don't realise how mucky it is. We've got water filters at our place. Water filters are the worst because you're like,

I've literally been drinking it. Yeah. I mean, that's all stopped there, but something must have gone wrong. Or what hasn't, yeah. It's really yucky. It is a bit yucky, aye. All right, watch. Unlock my computer.

Go watch. Excuse me for a moment. My work laptop turns itself off after about 10 seconds of not using it. They don't let us open our laptops for longer than 10 minutes. Oh, yeah. Because, you know. Because God knows what we could be doing. Oh, my God.

We could be on there for more than 10. We could be on there for 11 minutes without the screensaver. Are you serious? Yeah. Unlocking with Apple Watch. And it's asking for my password anyway. You know what we need to do?

We need to fill out those. You know they do those forms? They always ask us how we feel about the company. We should say something about these. And then they'll do something about it.

I'm back. I'm back. I manually had to put in my password. I'm going to put ones out of tens for every single thing until they fix this.

This is really... This is really... This is activism. Yeah, yeah. Yes! Guys, have I finally found a cause to get behind? You've finally found a cause, yeah. A charity of sorts? Our computers sleep if we don't use them for 30 seconds

and then taking like a minute to unlock. And number one on the list of the top six signs your ear's no good. Just like people drink Fiji water. Yeah, which is water from Fiji. You can help by canned Fiji ear. Oh, yeah, nice. Very nice.

Unless the neighbours are burning their rubbish. Oh, they love to burn rubbish in Fiji. Yeah. They love it. They're having a little yard fire. And that might not be the best day for your Fiji ear. That is today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM. producer Shannon

you are 24 yes I'm sorry that just sunk in did it okay

24 34 44 I mean we're just really like we're just for everyone yeah I'm trying to think

about being when I was 24 whether or not I was already in my era of, can I speak to the manager? Because that is where you entered yesterday. Yeah, for the first time ever, I dabbled in the Karen. Because you've moved into a new apartment,

and it's been a little bit of a rigmarole, getting everything kind of sorted. She doesn't have a freezer. You're really stuck onto the freezer thing I just where you putting your meat we just eat it but there's not even

a little freezer there's an ice tray but it's frozen burnt freezer burnt it's ice we can't put anything in because it's ice it's just for making

it's for making ice you know you can turn it off and it'll melt and it'll melt the ice out you know I didn't know that she's learning I'm learning yeah turn it off and it'll melt. And it'll scrape all the ice out. You know, I didn't know that. She's learning.

I'm learning. Yeah, turn it off. Okay. Take it out onto the deck. Yeah, and then it'll melt. Oh, I thought you had a little balcony. It's like 30 centimetres wide. Yeah.

She's just like calling it a deck. Lay it down. Bring it out onto the front deck. It melts, it drips out. Yeah, and then, or even it'll just be enough that you can start chipping it off Unless she's a busy girl Because she's been dealing with other things It didn't start melting in the Transportation between where it came from

And where it is now It's finished We're not allowed to bring in anything So you're not allowed to bring in your own fridge or freezer Are you living in a prison? Yeah, kind of I believe that's what body you living in a prison? Yeah, kind of. I believe that's what Body Corp is, right? Yeah, a little bit.

Yeah, so basically when I moved in, they were like, you must use this water company. You have no other option. Here's your go. And so I said, okay. And then we talked about it on air. I had to send a letter for the first time. That was a whole.

Mail them down to Porirua. It was a whole thing. I still think you're getting scammed. Nobody's sending a letter to Porirua. It was a whole thing. I still think you're getting scammed. Nobody's sending a letter to Porirua. Well, that's what I thought. There's like 500 people who live in my apartment. I was like, you're telling me every person mailed to Porirua? Apparently.

But then I get an email back yesterday saying, you've been declined. Your signatures don't match up. From when I was 14 and set up my bank account to now when I'm 24. Oh, so you haven't changed your signature at any point? No. I've just become an adult, I guess. I probably signed it as like

S smiley faced when I was 14. I don't know. Just like, name. Yeah, and because if I've ever needed my signature, my card matches, but my actual bank account. And so we go back and forth and this lady I was dealing with was so nice, but I was getting real rocked up I was just like, she's like you owe us a bunch

of money because you haven't paid anything and I was like I'm trying to pay I said can you just invoice me and she's like yeah no drama, I was like why have we not been doing this all the time? So you could just receive a monthly invoice and set up all this palaver So then I was like thanks so much girly, because I could tell she was Gen Z

and I was like this isn't on you canly. Because I could tell she was Gen Z. And I was like, this isn't on you. Can I have your manager's email? There it is. At the end of my wits. And she then only acknowledged the first part of my email. She's like, thanks for paying swiftly. And I was like, no, no, no. Where's your manager's email?

I still want that manager's email. Doubled down. I said, just following on the above. Can I have your manager's email? It's like it's your native above. Oh. That's good. It's like it's your native language. Yeah. You slid into it.

And have you obtained the contact for the manager? I've got the manager's email. I haven't written the email because I was hot-blooded at the time and now I've cooled down because I paid the bill. Yeah, what'll happen over the next 10 years is you'll stay hot-blooded all the time. Takes a lot longer to fade, doesn't it? Yeah. And then any interaction, you have the chance to Takes a lot longer to fade, doesn't it? Yeah.

And then any interaction, you have the chance to slip a bit of Karen in. I did it yesterday. I was trying to call this hospital and I was on hold the whole time and the moment I got hold of it and they were like, hello, I was like, oh wow. Oh, you didn't! You do exist. Oh wow, that was

really difficult to get through. They love hearing that call after call after call. And the person, the receptionist was just like, yeah, as if it's my fault you've been on hold this whole time. Because that's the thing, I felt bad for the people I'm dealing with. I just wanted to escalate. Because I've been the little person for so long.

I'm like, I don't want to come in at like a 20-year-old. Don't back down. I want to come to the like CEO and be like, screw your mail and what do you do? You're not going to the CEO but that's okay. Well, I'm hot blooded again. I'll write my email.

She's coming for your CEO next. Karen in you. You've got some good Karen going on there. Is your mum capable of Karen-ing? Because mine is. No, no, no. She's a soft spiritual woman. No, no, no, no. She's a soft, spiritual woman.

Yeah, my mum's very speak to the manager. Your mum wouldn't complain at all? No. She would eat a hair and a salad. Yes, all of us would. My whole family,

we're very low key and that's why my partner, he's the driving force normally, but today I'm stepping up. Yeah, good. Good for you.

Good on you. Take that hair out of the salad. Take that hair out of the salad. Take the hair out of the salad. Complain about the salad. Get the salad for free or get a new salad. That's how the world works. Wait, would you eat a plaster in a salad? Honestly, probably. Because I was a waitress for so long that I'm just like,

I just couldn't do that to them. You don't have to eat the plaster. You can pick it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll just deal with it. In case anybody thinks you have to eat the plaster. You know what I mean. It's in there. I'd rather eat it than touch it with my hands and have to deal with it and look at it. You just get it down. Carwen's upset that I'm eating a plaster.

I reckon a plaster's going to come out the same way it goes in. Yeah, they weren't burn-aid. They've got that weird silicon-y, rubber-y texture these days. You can probably feel it going through. Like a tapeworm. Oh no. Now you've lost me. weird silicon-y, rubber-y texture these days. You probably feel it going through. Like a tapeworm. Oh, no.

Now you've lost me. Yuck. There's been a study, which they are quick to say is not scientific. Okay. They calculated how many Instagram posts have been uploaded per kilometre of some of the world's most popular walking trails. Oh, shoot.

So the longer it is, the more posts you have to have. Yeah. But it's sort of a per capita situation. Okay. Shorter track needs less posts to up their average. But we've done good. We've done pretty good in the whole world. Have we?

The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is our best place. Nice. Fourth place. Yeah. Oh, shoot. That's good. 2,585 Instagram posts per kilometre. It's such a great...

I did that in March again. It's so good. Every time. That's long. I don't know that I've done it. And if I have, I would have been really young. Yeah. Like, kind of a school camp thing.

I think so. Yeah. I can't... I can't remember. It's a 20... It's 20.2 kilometres. Yeah. Long. Half a marathon. So 20... Yeah, it 20. It's 20.2 kilometres. Yeah. Long.

Half a marathon. So 20. Yeah, it is, literally. 20.2. And a lot of uphills. You'd be struggling to run a marathon, that's the... Yeah, a lot of uphills. 20.2.

Do people run it? Times. Yeah, I saw somebody running it. That's madness. Absolutely madness. 52,000 posts. Per year? I think so.

I'm unresponsible for some of those. Some of them. Yeah. You have to. The eighth on the list was the Rootburn. Yeah, I've never done that. Rootburn, that's 1,085 posts per kilometre, but a longer trail, isn't it?

The Rootburn's quite long. The Milford is 18th with 524. That's one of our great walks. And the Kepler, another great walk. 20th place with 476. Again, long. Yeah. Okay, what's next?

Surely number one is Machu Picchu. Well, those are just New Zealand's entries. Yeah, those are okay. The top five, you've got, ooh, Salcante Trek in Peru. Okay. Number four is the Tongariro Alpine Crossing.

Number three, the Kalalau Trail in Hawaii on the small island of Kawai. I just can't wait. Googled it. You've got to get a permit to walk this. So you've got to book a spot for it. Apparently the tourist there has to get a spot, but gorgeous. Yeah, right.

The vistas. Two is the Inca Trail in Peru. So is that what you go up to? Yeah, right. The vistas. The vistas. The vistas. Two is the Inca Trail. Yep. In Peru. So is that what you go up to? Yeah, to see the hidden... Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu.

Yeah. And number one is Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia. Oh. And by miles as well. So the Inca Trail... What is it? Mount Kinabalu. Oh my God, that's beautiful.

Yeah. How long can you give me a length? Wow. Mount Kinabalu. Can you give me a That's beautiful. Yeah. How long can you give me a length? Kinabalu. Can you give me a length of that? The length of that walk? Not the height of the mountain, but the height of the walk. Oh, you're over swing bridges

like clipped to the side of mountains. Because the top three, it goes crazy. So the third one in Hawaii was 3,600 posts per kilometre. Then the Inca Trail jumps up to 6,700 posts per kilometre, you know, getting in the vicinity of Dublin. And then from the Inca Trail to up to 6,700 paces per kilometre, you know, getting in the vicinity of Dublin.

And then from the Inca Trail to Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia, it goes from 6,700 to 22,000 pictures per kilometre. So it's generally considered a highly challenging route. It should only be attempted by experienced adventurers, 22.4 kilometres in and out. Okay, so it's long. But it's up. It's a mountain. Yeah, it's beautiful. Okay, so it's long. But it's up. It's a mountain. Yeah, it's beautiful.

Like, I'd never seen photos of this place before. It's incredible. No, I know. Should we go? Should we go? Should we just go? Should we just go? I can't even walk 30 minutes around the block at the moment,

but let's just go up Mount Kinabalu. Let's just do it. Raw dog. Just put on some hiking boots and just get up Mount Kinabalu. Let's just do it. Raw dog. Just put on some hiking boots and just get up there and swim. That's who you want to go hiking with. Someone who's done no exercise for a number of months. One of the main questions about Kinabalu

is why do Koreans love Kinabalu so much? Oh, the photos? Must have a massive, because that's a huge amount of, the jump up is insane. It is photogenic. It is photogenic. It is like a hot model of mountains.

It is. It's a victorious secret of mountains. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley, silly little po, silly little po. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole, silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole, silly little pole.

Silly little pole. Silly little pole today. Does your partner help pay for your contraception? So sometimes it's free. I know nothing about this. Sometimes it's government subsidised so you pay either five bucks or nothing.

Yep. The Belinda, that's free, isn't it? The Belinda's probably free. The Jemima. Yeah. It's heavily subsidised. The one I was on until I came off it

was not free. It was like $120 for six months. Wow, okay. $240 a year. Yeah. And there's lots of them. The dumb thing about it is the sort of generic ones are free and the ones that people with

different issues are generally not subsidised. Yeah. The one I was on was good for PCOS but all that was not subsidised. Right. But then there's other forms of contraception, aren't there? Yeah. Connie's.

Condominiums. Yep. Dental dams. The withdrawal method. Yep. That's free. It's a really good one. Yep.

That's free though. Yep. Abstinence. Abstinence is my favourite form of contraception. Yeah. But before me and Aaron joined finances, he paid for her. Lego is another form of contraception. How?

You're too busy doing Lego, you've got no time for sex. Oh, yeah, that's so hot. And then when you're finished, you're like, look at my Lego, look at my Lego, look at my Lego. And she just gets so turned off, no one's having sex. Yeah, right. Yeah. But yeah, Aaron used to pay for half.

And then now our money is our money, so. It's joined. It's nice that he did, because, I mean, looking at these. He doesn't want a kid and you're like will you pay for it? Looking at these poll results it's not always the way. 75% of people said no my partner does not help pay for my contraception.

25% said yes. Even if it's subsidised you're still paying for the doctor. Yeah. Oh yeah. And you but with being on the pill you often you can't just go on and just get the you know over the phone prescriptions yeah

Okay. Well, that feels like a conversation maybe you could have with your partner. Callie says, join account. So, yeah, I guess whether he likes it or not, probably doesn't even know. Oh, yeah, right. It crossed his mind. Yep.

Alyssa said, yes, he did by getting the snip. Oh, yeah, yeah. The ultimate form of contraception. You haven't had the snip yet, have you? Nah. Lazy. Oh, shit, we just sort of stopped talking about that. What?

You getting it done. Yeah. I've just got so much on. I'm very busy. Yeah. No, says Louise. I started the pill for my own health reasons years before I was sexually active, and that's not his responsibility, in my opinion.

Okay. It's a shared responsibility now, but if you're happy to take care of it, I don't want to, but if you want to. You don't agree, though? I don't know. I don't know. Ali says, the NHS kindly inserted my IUD for free.

Why anyone would pay for that experience is beyond me. Oh, yeah, I've heard it's painful. Sarah, I got an IUD pretty early on in our relationship and he paid for it. He said it was the least he could do. Plus he came to the appointment with me and let me squeeze the shiz out of his hand as it got done. He's a good one though. Yeah. Oh, nice.

God, we're talking about vacations a bit on the show today. You know why? It's because it's so cold. We're getting into winter. In fact, this morning as well, very cold around the country. We're just over a couple of weeks away ourselves from taking our mid-year break. None of us are going away with friends, I believe. But next on the show, I want to discuss what kind of vacation

friends you are. There's categories. Is one the anal retentive organiser? Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, no, no, you're on this list. You're on this list. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Cold start this

morning. Currently minus five in Christchurch. It's four degrees in Wellington. Hamilton currently seven. Auckland ten. That's, I feel like it's changing so much. Like we're cold today. The climate is changing. All right, lefty.

Climate change isn't real. Lefty. Anyway, lots of us want to get out of here, go on vacation. We talked yesterday, it's Europe summer time. People are going away. Yep. Heading for the warmth. And a lot of people go away with friends.

Yeah, they do. Okay, so here's a list of, well, it's sort of, I guess, maybe a quiz of sorts. It's almost like a BuzzFeed little, you know, like what kind of, what friend friend are you? What vacation friend are you? Because I've traveled a little bit with friends. I don't know. I'm trying to work out myself on this because I'm a little bit of everything.

Here's the list. Okay. You're the planner. Me, that's me. That's Fletch. That's me. You've been coordinating the trip for months. You're at the airport hours ahead of time. That's me. You's Fletch. That's me. You've been coordinating the trip for months. You're at the airport hours ahead of time.

That's me. You've already got all the visas. I'm the one turning up being like, wait, do you need a visa to go here? No, that's Vaughn. I feel like I checked that beforehand. Your itinerary is locked in and solid. You've got outfits that are sensible and planned for where you're going. You've got the right shoes on at the airport.

You're not wearing work boots or high-top chucks. Annoying. Because they make you take those off. When can we stop with the high-top chucks at the airport? What do you mean, like taking them off? Yeah. What am I hiding in this canvas slip-on shirt? Blades.

Yeah, but I could hide blades in my Low top chucks Yeah yeah Sensible outfits on the plane This is you You're the planner Nothing is left up to chance I don't like to plan too much I like to plan the basics

Like the flights and accommodation Maybe the odd thing But I don't like to research locations too much because I still like to explore and discover things. Totally. Yeah. Okay, you're a little bit the planner. You're the party friend is the next vacation friend style.

When the vacation plans hit the group chat, you've already got a handful of hot spots, bars to go to. They need to calm down. You're not so into like practical accessories, like, you know, a money belt, a beige money belt. You've got your hottest little outfit sorted. You're going to look hot.

You're going for the fun times. I don't think I'm this. I like to party, but when I'm on holiday, I'm like, I don't really care what I'm wearing. I'll wear a bloody sarong to the club. Yeah. Okay, you're the mum friend. Not to be confused with the planner friend.

Right. You've got the big bag. You're carrying everyone's phones. You've got band-aids and hand sanitiser and mints. You've got water for your friends. You've got your anti-hangover pills. You've got a little bit of extra space in all of your bags so that you can be, you know, adding things as

you go and looking after people. Very mumsy. Not me. That's not me. That's not me. You're the actual mum? The kids are in tow? No. In-laws are coming. You can just leave kids at home. You've made sure the venue's family friendly.

No, you can just leave them at home. You've got a G-rated vacation. You're wearing something, you know, covered up but still friendly. No, you can just leave them at home. You've got a G-rated vacation. You're wearing something, you know, covered up but still chic. Okay, well, that's not us. No thong bikinis. Oh, no. Okay, that's not the one. Okay, here's the other type of vacation friend you could be.

The photographer. This is me, for sure. I always make sure that everyone gets a good photo of themselves. I'm always the one to be like, hey, everyone, get together. We're going to have a photo. We're going to do this. You know everyone's angles. Yeah.

Like, you'll come home from a holiday and your phone is full of photos of other people, but you've got none of yourself because your friends aren't as good as taking photos. And I don't know if it's because I'm a minger, but I'm always that kind of person that takes a great photo of all my friends and then they can't take photos properly.

I hate that so much. That is because you're a minger. Oh, is it? It is. There are many who talk to you about this, so I thought as this is Brody, it's got to time. I actually thought I was just a great photographer.

This is what it's like holidaying. Yeah, no, you take a good photo. Holidaying with Aaron is I'm like, oh, I might offset you from the centre a bit. Shoot on the thirds. Make sure you've got this. Shoot on the thirds. I'm going to point five years.

The tree looks really big. And I'll get Aaron and I'll be like, take a photo. And I'll just stand there. And then he'll like zoom in. He'll pinch in. We zoom in in post. We zoom in later. We zoom in in post so the quality of the photo is not compromised.

We zoom in. There's no lighting consideration. He has zero regard for angles and poses. I will take photos that I want to be like taken of my friends and then show them. This is where you stand. This is where I stand. This is what I want it to look like.

Yeah, more of this, less of this. I'm trying to find one photo like, oh, I can't. It's not funny. But we went to Thailand, Aaron and I, and every single photo of him Is like great The background The sun

Angles I'm trying to catch him Looking whimsical He'll never think of Taking a whimsical Candid photo of me Yeah But then when

And then I Yeah so you're more The photographer Yeah Yeah Every holiday group Needs one of those people Yeah

Yeah they do I don't think you've named Any I'm not any of these You're just there I feel like I'm left out You're just there What is Needs one of those people. Yeah. Yeah, they do. I don't think you've named any. I'm not any of these. You're just there. I feel like I'm left out. You're just there. Do you feel left out?

What would Vaughan be? The party guy? The one who's there. The one who's there. The one who just is told to turn up. I'll be there. Yeah. I feel like you've just kind of positioned yourself in life to be organised for.

Yes. It works. Here's an example. Just for you to have a life to be organised for. Yes. It works. Here's an example. Just for you to have a nice little laugh. Okay, here's a great photo I took of Aaron in Thailand. Oh, that's a great photo. He's posed. He's holding a drink.

There's streetlights in the back. There's fairy lights. It almost looks a little bit 90s. It's got a bit of a build-in. The lens are white. Yeah, no, but it's part of the blur. It's a beautiful photo. Here's a photo he took of me.

Now he's got the light all wrong, so you can't see the Ivan silhouette. That could be any woman anywhere. It's just no regard. They can't even see my smile. The ocean looks like shit. It's just terrible. He nods you.

Yeah. Yeah, but it's not for him. It's for Instagram, isn't it? It's for me to look back and be like, look how great. Yeah. Yeah, anyway. Well, we learn. It's for Instagram, isn't it? It's for me to look back and be like, look how great. Yeah. Yeah, anyway. He's good at other things.

This is interesting information because this is kind of not how I, not why I thought I love a hot shower. So women online are going like, we love a burning, scalding hot shower. So, everyone online, women online are going like, we'd love a burning, scalding, hot shower. Like, when I get out of the shower, I want my chest to be

red. Everything red. To its core. Yeah. And then, men on, were jumping on being like, yes,

I can't get in the shower after my partner, or share a shower with them because it's like, literally burning me to death. Why is that? So, But then,

because in the office, you're always like, turn the heater down. This is why. Because so this is, there's a doctor, Dr. Sermid Mazur, he's a London-based doctor. He jumped online and was like, here's why. And it's all to do with your menstrual cycle and like your higher, women have a naturally higher core body temperature, which helps keep our inner organs nice and toasty

so that we can make babies, right? That's what we're here for. Baby making oven. And the fact that I even have a job is almost useless. I should be making, I should be baking a baby. Making babies, that's what the temperature's for. And then keeping the baby alive. That's my job.

I'm just here, I don't know. No reason, no purpose. So having a warmer core body temperature means that we're more sensitive to the cold. And this is why women are often like, oh, I feel cold because we need more to keep us warm. And then during our cycle, during ovulation, our temperature sensitivity is like peaking and we want to be warmer and warmer and warmer and warmer and warmer. Hence why the hot showers. Hence why we're having really hot showers. Now that's a medical reason to it.

But I was like, oh no, that's never me because I do run so hot all the time. I am never cold. But you always get to work. We keep saying, oh yeah, it's getting colder. I'm like, oh my God, hurry up because I am too cold. Like I keep saying, every morning we keep saying, oh yeah, it's getting colder. I'm like, oh my God, hurry up because I am too hot. But I don't know why, I just like the

feeling on my skin. Now I started doing this when I first started getting eczema because you're not supposed to scratch it, but if you put burning hot water on it, it feels like you're itching it and that would feel nice. Without actually aggravating it. Or does the heat aggravate it in its own special way?

You're probably aggravating it a bit. Right. But you're not actually getting your fingernails in there. And this is most females or every female runs a hot shower. Yeah. I had no idea. Yeah. And do you know why?

Because there's always the idea that like women are always cold. Me being the exception. So that is to do with the fact that women obviously have a higher body fat percentage in general than men. Same thing to keep lots of fat and warmth around our reproductive organs. And so men have more skeletal muscle known as thermogenic. The muscle is called a thermogenic organ which makes heat. So your muscles are making more heat, keeping you warmer in general, whereas we've got more

fat than muscle, so we're all cold. We're cold and fat. What a fun body. But then we were talking about this in studio being like, yeah, I absolutely love a burning hot shower and Karwen, you're the same. Oh my gosh. Rip the skin off. There's nothing better. Just scorch me.

And then you're in for a bit, eh? And then you're like, I can take more. Yeah, and then tap, tap, tap to the left. You're like, I reckon I could go more. A little bit more, a little bit more. And then sometimes I'll get out of the shower and be like, oh, I need to sit down. I'm a little faint.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to literally pass out. This sounds like you're on the verge of burning your skin. What part of your body can take the most intensity? Chest. Yeah, chest. Really? Mine's the back. I'll turn the back to it and go like that and just crank it right up.

I'd say my back's more sensitive. Kind of got a bit of insulation in the front. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe I've got more fattiness on the front. Did you just call my breasts insolation? I don't know if you just called her... Breasticles. Did you just say she's got fat tits?

Fat tits. So inappropriate. It's crazy. I think we all heard it. Did you just put those words in my mouthits? It's so inappropriate. It's crazy. I think we all heard it. You just put those words in my mouth. No, I mean, you said it. You said, look at those big fat congas. Yeah, yeah.

No wonder your chest can take a beating. You said, put more insulation on the front, and then you winked, and it kind of, that wink spoke volumes, you know. I didn't wink. Crazy. I didn't wink. To comment on my baps like that in a professional environment. I'm just meaning you've got baps and so the water like, you know.

What? The water what? Oh my God. Oh my God, this is madness. You're a monster. I'm just going to finish this. Look at him. What you're not seeing, listener, is that he's sitting in front of me with his hands like claws like this.

I am not. I am not. So you've got baps. And he goes like this. God. I have not. So you have not. And he goes, like this. God. That's not true. I'm trying to share some medical research here as to why women can handle a hot shower. And you've objectified me.

Yeah, I apologise. Because I'm nothing but a warm, fat, reproductive system with a delicious set of glorious baps. Okay, next. No, no. Apologise to women. Everywhere. Everywhere. I apologise.

Thank you. Because you put those words into my mouth, or Vaughan did, and then I had to- What did you say? The thing about an apology is it should never have a butt. Okay. Yeah, actually. An apology with a butt is not an apology at all. It's not an apology is it should never have a butt. Okay. Yeah, actually. An apology with a butt

is not an apology at all. That's not an apology at all. Next on the show, Apple had a bunch of announcements yesterday. Huge, eh? Now, depending on which way you look

at this particular announcement, it's either great news or bad news. I don't want to get into either announcements. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Your chance to play five on time very soon. Eight o'clock, $8,000 is the current jackpot.

Yesterday, Apple had a big announcement day. Did Tim do it? No, some other guy. And then he did parkour down some stairs and it was weird. Tim did? No, another guy. Oh, the other guy. But he didn't look parkour-y. It was was weird. Tim did? No, another guy. Oh, the other guy. But he didn't look parkour-y.

It was weird. It was very weird. It was very weird. Anyway. How hardcore parkour? Like, I'd say semi-moderate to hardcore. A roll? A flip?

Well, jumping down stairs. Are you jumping down stairs? It was pretty wild. One of the things that- I'm going to see this Apple presentation. They announced a whole bunch of things because you do the Apple rings on your watch. You're going to be able to take a rest day.

Oh, glorious. So you don't have to cheat. Because you know how we just wind them down when we want a rest day? They're going to give you rest days. That's good. It wasn't one of the big announcements. One of the big things they did say that you'll be able to do is lock an app. Yeah. So you can't

see it on your phone and you can't open it. Well, only you can. Yeah. Wait, but how do you do it? Face. Okay. So it's still possible to get into it. It's still there, but you'll be able to lock individual apps. Those apps, you could have

no thumbnail and you could only find it through going through settings. That was another way of hiding them. So if you had Tinder or Grindr or photos or sexy things, you could

even, yeah, you could either lock it so that no one can get into it or you can just not have it on your phone. So if someone was looking through your phone, they wouldn't be able to see it unless they went in, face scanned and then went to settings. Because if now you just need the PIN number to get into your partner's phone, this is

the example we're using, and then you've got everything. Yeah. I mean, some apps have face already. Way a lot guilty though if your partner does open up your phone and sees an app and tries to open it and it says this is a locked app. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So do you know that one of the major things is that they're now merging chat GPT with Siri. Yeah. So that Siri's there. So you go, hey Siri. And if she's like dilly-dallying, faffing about like a loo-lally, it'll divert to chat GPT and use AI to kind of

do a whole bunch of things. So you could even go, if there was an online form in your emails, you could be like, hey Siri or hey chat GPT, find my license and attach it to this. And it will go through your emails. You know how there's always a version of your license in your emails or go through your photos. You could use it and be like

hey chat GPT, remove Aaron from my photos. Say we split up. And I don't have to sit there in the midst of heartbreak. Yeah, yeah. Deleting every trace of Aaron from my life. You just be like, hey, Siri, remove Aaron from my life. Don't say it out loud. But out of saying it out loud.

Siri, stop. Out of all of these announcements. I still love him. I love him. Out of all of these announcements yesterday, that one where you can lock an app was the one that everybody was talking about. They called it a cheater's paradise. And online everyone was there being like, is this new iOS 18 literally just for cheaters? Because there's so many features.

Have you never been able to put a passcode on a certain app before? You can, you can, but you can also, and there are some apps that you can use face to get into. But there's two, there's locked and then there's hidden. Yeah. So you'll be able to hide. Remember the calculator?

Yeah. With the full stop. That's right, that's right. It was a calculator, but it was naughty photos, right? It was a calculator, but it had either a plus next to it or it was calculated with a full stop. That's right. That's right. It was a calculator, but it was naughty photos. It was a calculator, but it had either a plus next to it or it was calculated with a full stop and it looked like the calculator thumbnail

and then you click on it and then you put in a passcode and then all your nudie photos are in there. Unbelievable. I know. Well, this is what we wanted to ask this morning. Have you ever had an instance in the past where somebody was snooping on your phone

or you found something on a partner's phone. Yeah. Because you just, you thought, I think they're cheating. Yeah. I feel like something's going on here. What did you catch on someone's phone? Or get caught because there's more than just photos. There's all sorts.

You could think something's up, but then you just find out he's about to propose to you and you've just ruined it. Oh, yeah. That happens. It does happen. Only because they start acting weird and out of character. Yeah, totally. And then you're just like, well, what's happening? So you go looking.

Most of the time. That's a real common thing with people preparing to propose is that the person proposing steps back so much because they're nervous and then the person getting proposed to thinks that they're going to get dumped. What a rollercoaster. So, okay, 0800-

Maybe you're in a heterosexual relationship and you went on your husband's phone and maybe there was a little grinder app on there. Oh. What's that doing there? Curiosity? It's gay yellow pages. It is the gay yellow pages. It's just where the gays are.

Oh, it's literally only to get phone numbers going on. Yeah, like gay plumbers, gay electricians. It's just, yeah, for services. Gay concrete grinders as an ally as an ally you want to support the gay

the gay tradies and that's the only reason a straight man would have that on their phone yeah it's to go like I want to find myself a gay gardener and that's why

those angry old white guys are like they move here and they only socialise with people like them they're talking about gays yeah that's right right

turns out okay 0800 dialARLS.M. We want to take your calls now. You can text her as well. 9696. Someone messaged, is Fletch being cancelled? No, Fletch,

well, I've decided not to cancel Fletch after he oogled my boobies. I just said that the whole order takes longer to get through the breast to heat you up. That's what I meant by that comment. Anyway, back to what we're talking about. When, what did you discover?

What did you snoop on someone's phone or vice versa? Did you get caught with something on your phone? Give us a call. We want to know what you snooped on someone's phone or maybe what someone discovered on your phone that they shouldn't have because the new iOS 18 for Apple has been called a cheater's paradise. You hide things.

Yeah, you're not only going to be able to lock an app, you're going to be able to hide it in a folder completely. All together gone. Never to be discovered by anyone who may go looking. Also, kids use your phone and whatnot sometimes, don't they? That's probably a good thing for that, eh? Some apps you might not want your kids to be able to access. Or just hide your games in your YouTube.

So then when kids are like, do you have YouTube on your phone? You'll be like, oh, I don't. All the time. Nothing. Yeah, I actually don't have that app. I don't have any games. Don't screw my algorithm, twerp. So we want to know from you this morning what someone went snooping on your phone and found.

Georgia, what happened? So there was an incident on my road. We had a car going up and down and stalking a few young females. Goodness. I had to call the police. And when they arrived, I was showing them the vehicle and the videos that I had. And I swiped too far and I forgot that I had some spicy photos.

Yes. In my recent. Yes. And the cops saw it. I panicked, dropped my phone. Cool. What a cool, calm response. Two weeks later, my car got hit by a drunk driver,

and the cops that arrived on the scene were the same cops that saw my spicy photos. I forgot to say you. They knew. Did they make any comment in the moment? Like, oh. There she is. They come in like, ah, ah, and I just keep panicking.

How spicy are we talking, Georgia? Yeah, very spicy. We're talking some Kai Tai of fire. We're not talking sweet chilli sauce. But do you know you can already hide photos from your camera roll? That's already a thing. Yeah. How do you do that?

I just forgot that was a thing. Yeah. How do you do that? I just forgot that was a thing. Yeah, totally. You can just delete them and hide. Really? And it makes a folder called hidden. Ah. Yeah, so that's already a thing. Why are you such an expert on the matter?

Because sometimes you pick up my phone. Yeah, I do. And you feel his whole body tense. Georgia, thank you. Some messages in. My brother asked to borrow my phone to Google something. He opened it and quickly gave it back because I'd forgotten to shut down my incognito mode.

Teaser on the other side of his sister's interests that day. That's too much. Oh, gosh. Found all these messages to girls that he'd sent. He'd sent the messages and no girls had replied. Oh, how embarrassing. So that was embarrassing for him. Well, this was someone that was cheating.

Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no. He wasn't. He was trying his hardest, but he wasn't officially cheating. And all these messages he'd sent to girls, none of them were the girls that replied. So much worse. And then I found screenshots of my close friend from social media

that he'd been saving photos of her for his own pleasure. And some adult content that can only be described as grandma themed. Safe to say we're no longer together. This is 2015. I used his fingerprint to get his phone while he was sleeping. Oh my God.

That's amazing. Only relationship I've ever really felt the urge to do this. And wow. I absolutely had the jackpot of what I was looking for. That's incredible. Okay, keep your texts coming in 9696 0800 is the number. The

things that you've snooped on somebody's phone or somebody has found on your phone. There are some juicy things being discovered on phones here. Now, we're not advocating for snooping on a phone by the way. I think that's an invasion of privacy, but I get it

if there are suspicious, suspicions lurking. Yeah. You know, sometimes you've got to confirm something for yourself. Yep. We want to know this morning

what you found snooping on someone's phone or what someone's found on yours. Because yesterday, Apple announced that you'll be able to hide apps completely.

Can you even read some of these? Are we going to need a spillover? I was at a coffee shop. There might be. Okay. I was at a coffee shop waiting in line. And was that her that's trying on the phone?

No. I was in a coffee shop waiting in line, and the girl in front of me opened her phone and opened her browser, obviously to Google something, but it was still on Corn Tub, a very popular internet website where people put a whole lot of corn in the bathtub. Yeah. Just watch her.

That was the last thing she'd been on. She obviously knew I was behind her, spun around and looked all embarrassed, and I panicked and did the eyebrow wiggle. Now, by eyebrow wiggle, do you mean that? No, just ignore it. Don't acknowledge it. What are you up to there? What are you up to there?

Oh. I found lovey-dovey messages on my boyfriend's phone. Rang the number to see who this person was. Discovered the messages were to his fiancée of two years. I introduced myself and apologised and left them to it. His fiancée of two years? Yeah. Caught my hubby cheating.

Kicked him out of family sharing on Apple. He got back in, restored all the apps. Tinder and Grindr appeared on the kids' iPhones. Oh, you got a synced app situation. And Grindr. Lordy, lordy. That was an interesting conversation. The family sharing or the iCloud trips people up, eh?

Because people forget that the photos sync to every device. Yeah. Well, that's another one from the family thing. We had a family Apple set up. My wife and I separated. And then one day a weird app turned up on the last page of my app. So I was like, what's this app? I opened it up.

It was a dating app for people looking for specifically rich partners. Oh, show your daddies. She was just like, I need to obviously get to be with someone with a little bit of cash to spare. Someone did this, searched my name on a friend's phone to send myself some pictures we'd just taken. So maybe we went into

messages. No. A whole bunch of conversations came up with her talking shit about me. That's terrible. I caught my ex sending pregnancy tests, pictures of pregnancy tests, to what I was told at the time was her gay best friend. It turns out he wasn't gay. And that pregnancy test was the result of them doing shenanigans

and her getting pregnant from it. Juicy. My workmate plugged her iPhone into the work computer, hit the wrong button, and and uploaded all of her photos and some were very naughty. Oh my god, kill me. Very naughty. At 3am, my mother checked

partner's phone that was charging next to her and found some apps, some dating apps, some gay dating apps. Plus messages and so woke him up and kicked him out. Great, I didn't like him but now she's back with him and I don't speak to her.

I caught my ex trying to have IVF babies with his ex-girlfriend behind my back. What? That's a full-on process. That's... So there...

Oh my God. I found a video on my partner's phone of him having sex with a woman and then I later realised that woman was me and that video had been taken without my knowledge or consent. him having sex with a woman. And then I later realised that woman was me and that video had been taken without my knowledge or consent. Oh, that's...

Oh. No good. Oh, my God. Stevie. There are some juicy messages. Yeah. Oh, no. I'd been showing my mum pictures of our recent holiday.

Oh, yeah. Swipe, swipe. Swipeity, swipe, swipe, swipe. Swipe, swipe, swipe. Oh, one too far. Q, a horrible five minutes. Now, that's from James. So that's a son to a mother. Oh. Swipe, swipe, swipeity, swipe, swipe, swipe. Swipe, swipe, swipe. Oh, one too far. Cue a horrible five minutes. Now, that's from James. So that's a son to a mother.

Oh. Swipe, swipe, swipe. Remember that? It's a lot bigger now, Mum. Somebody said in the photos, they did that thing where you zoom out and you can see on a map where all the photos were taken. Yes. And I noticed he had lots of photos taken in Invercargill,

and I said, when did you go to Invercargill? And that was when I found out I was dating someone from Invercargill. Oh, not that he was cheating. He said they weren't from Invercargill and I said, when did you go to Invercargill? And that was when I found out I was dating someone from Invercargill. Oh, not that he was cheating. They previously said they weren't from Invercargill. Oh, wait, but they weren't cheating on someone in Invercargill. No, they weren't cheating. I thought you meant they were flying to Invercargill to have an affair. No, they just lied and said they weren't from Invercargill.

Where are you from? Dunedin. Dunedin. Yeah. Wow, you've got so many photos in Invercargill. Like thousands of them. Fine, I was born there Had an MRI on my spine

Yesterday Don't Everyone I'm just weird Being bombarded I think Is the text machine Being bombarded with concern It's actually not is it

Holy shit Someone said Right I thought you were still Doing human shazam What a weird intro song No we've moved on Actually not, is it? Holy shit. Someone said. Right. I thought you were still doing Human Shazam. What a weird intro song. No, we've moved on. We've moved on. That's the largest point of concern on the text machine.

No, you're people more worried about winning money. Right. Than your health, it turns out. Has there not been an outpouring of concern because I mentioned that I was in a hospital gown yesterday? Well, you didn't do that thing where you hospital fished. Okay, I'll upload. I did take our photo, but mostly because your boobs are all loose.

They're all sort of bapping around in the gown because you can't wear a bra. Oh, so that was where the photo was. It's important when you do put up a photo in a hospital gown to have zero context or any explanation. Yeah, you've got to put something super vague, like I guess we'll know the answer soon.

Yeah. Finally. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like that. Or like, I don't want. Yeah. Finally. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that. Or like, I don't want to talk about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I got an MRI because I've talked about it.

I've got this like weird nerve damage in my leg and you have to just get a quick little precautionary scan of the spine to make sure that it's not coming from the back

because the back bloody goes everywhere. You've had an MRI before? Yeah, on my kidney. Yeah, because I had my first one that I can remember. I don't know if I had one when I was a kid. I don't know. You've had an MRI before? Yeah, on my kidney. Yeah, because I had my first one that I can remember. I don't know if I had one when I was a kid. I don't know.

I've never had one. It's bizarre, eh? Is it the tube thing? It's awful, yeah. Where you lie down on the bed and they whiz you into the tube. And you can't have any metal on you or it tears it out. Is that right? Yeah.

Oh, my God. So, side little step here. They ask you, you know, if you've got any implants or anything like that. And I was like, no, I've got a dental wire on the back of my teeth, but that's it. And they're always like, that's fine. It's, you know, the wrong metal or whatever.

Then I went to jam my hair up in a ponytail and I felt I've got little hair extensions. And it's like they're sewn, but they put these little clips in to like sew onto. And I was like, oh my God, oh my onto. And I was like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. And I was looking up online, like hair extensions, MRI. And they're like, no, you can't do that.

It's metal in your head. And I was like. Oh, my God. It could literally go through into your brain. It would suck the magnets out. Yeah. Anyway, they're made of silicon, the little beads. So it didn't matter in the end.

I was panicking. I was ringing. I just Googled. And I remember this story. 18th of December, 2023, a 57-year-old female patient was shot in the buttock by her own concealed weapon when it was triggered by the MRI machine. Where was it? In the tube with her?

Or was it just in the room? Either in the room or in the tube. Jesus. But you don't normally wear, like, you wear a gown. You're naked other than your undies and socks. Yeah, so maybe it was next to her. Oh yeah, weird. That's wild, eh?

Yeah, so I was in a panic. I was like trying to ring them on my way because I only just realised as I had to leave the house, I was like, oh my God, my hair. You would have had to what, cut it off? No, I would have had to have cancelled, gone and get them taken out and then gone back. But it was fine.

They're made of silicon. I rung the place. It was all sorted. How do they attach with silicon? Is it like a glue? No, they're like these little rings, and they slide it up your hair, and they pinch it around,

and then when they get the hair, that's what they sew into. So they've got something to sort of like hold on to. Because my hair falls out. Like when you, what is that thing you do to sheep? Dag them. Yeah, when you dag them.

No, not at all. Cut around the skin and get the dags. No, it's just like a little sheared clip. With the rubber, with the silicon ball thing. Oh, you put it around then. You dock them. Yeah, dock them. Yeah, kind of.

You just pinch it around your own hair and then the fake hair gets sewn onto that thing rather than sewn into your hair so it doesn't just slide out. Okay. Anyway, they're made of rubber so it didn't matter anyway. That was the panic. Then I get there. I wonder why we're talking about digging. Because that is also the removal of hair around the ass.

Yeah, I suppose so. I suppose so. Anyway, that's all fine. I get to the place, take off all my stuff, put on the gown, take a photo, forget to upload, so I get no sympathy. Do they, like, see you, like, you've got the gown on, but do they, it's not an X-ray, eh? Because do they, they like see you, like you've got the gown on, but do they, it's not an x-ray, eh?

Because do they like see you, like is it like the airport scanners? All my bits and bobs. Yeah, are they like, hmm, okay. Yeah,

I don't know because I've had an x-ray on my pelvis before. Remember I showed you guys shadow flaps. Yeah. And I was like, holy moly. Which was Gandalf's horse in the Lord of the Rings.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, shadow flaps. Yeah, yeah,

yeah. Shadow flaps. On the third day, I would ever look to the sun. Yeah, they see some things. They look up, sun comes up, and there, yeah. Yeah, shadow flaps. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shadow flaps. On the third day, I would ever look to the sun. Yeah, they see some things. They look up, sun comes up, and there's Gandalf

riding your shadow flaps. And let's see your, your pee-pee too, wouldn't they? Oh my gosh, please, don't use such profanities on the show. Christ alive,

call it a penis. It is a penis. I don't know, it's a penis. Use the proper name. I'm sorry, Willie. I've definitely. You've never shied away

from calling it what it is. I've had a friend that's had an MRI, spinal MRI, and she had a tampon, and you can see it. And you're like- No! Rotifier. Wild. I know, but you're like, of course. You're not just going to take it out.

I've seen people get an x-ray on the area, and you can see that they've just got a massive poo-bro. Who? Yes. Who was that famous tennis- Andy Murray. That's right. Andy Murray put up that x-ray, and you could see his penis. Oh, yeah, yeah, totally. Excuse me. famous tennis? Andy Murray. That's right. Andy Murray put up that X-ray and you could see his penis. Oh, yeah, yeah, totally.

Excuse me, sorry, pee-pee. His wee-wees. His pee-pee wee-wee. The doodle dangle. Yeah, yeah, totally. Anyway, so it was fine. I went into the MRI thing and then you're like, you've got to stay still the whole time,

but it's so loud that they give you those little foam earplugs and they put on headphones and they say, do you want to listen to the radio today? They listen to the radio in there. They don't put on like a calming soundtrack or something. You choose your station. So of course, I said yes please, chug on ZM.

Fantastic. And they're like great. And as they put on my headphones before they leave the room to change the station to the station you've chosen, can't help but realise that we are not the default station. Oh, really? We are not. We are the MRI headphones. Yeah. Put it on. But it might have been the person before

you. Yeah, maybe. Well, the person before me loves a bit of More FM. Oh, boomer. A bit of boomer. It was probably a boomer. Did you see the person before you? No, I didn't. But on they went and I said chuck on ZM and they said, oh, awesome. They put it on. And it wasn't. And it was More FM and they said oh awesome and they put it on and it wasn't and it was more FM

and they didn't change it now I can't help but feel that this was a direct target I can't help but feel that they never changed it to your requested station no they didn't change it it was more FM the whole time

unbelievable so much Ronan Keating oh yes yes yes life is a rollercoaster they played every 10 minutes Ronan Keating Robbie Williams every 10 minutes

it was just like on rotation. Yeah, right. I kept waiting for it to change over to Lovely Georgia. Yeah. So I could support my friend. Yeah. And it didn't change.

So it was sort of, I mean, good music. Ronan Keating, Life's a Rollercoaster. Maybe we could play that a little bit more. So maybe some feedback I took. Right, okay. No, I don't know if we can, if we should. Up next, what have we got? No, we're not playing Ronan Keating. Ava Max, is that sort of, oh, yeah, I don't know if we should. Up next, what have we got? No, we're not playing

Ronan King. Ava Max, that's sort of a bit current. Yeah. We don't need to play current music. There's all this good stuff

that was made years ago. Life is a rollercoaster. What about Kylie Minogue and Robbie Williams? Kids. Kids? What a duet.

Yeah. What a duet. What a duet. Yeah, see, that sounds like Painful torture When you can't move In an MRI

And you literally Can't move Your arms are just like that And you can't And then When you Somebody asked me They said they had an MRI

And they said What stage do you want to listen to And they said Zeddy When they walked out And they put it on the breeze No Who are these people Someone hates us

Slander campaign Who hates us At the MRI place Who hates us I the MRI place? I don't know. We're not the default. We're adorable. We're the default at Lumino Dentists.

Who's that health authority you complain to if there's a medical malpractice? Because this feels like a gauze left inside me after a surgery. I don't know if I would go to that extent. It feels similar. You might as well have dropped your damn scalpel in my opinion. I don't know if I would go to leaving a... You guys have gone deep into the pool.

Have we though? Yeah. It feels targeted. I know. I just would have started with it when the doctor goes, when you jump on the scales. It feels about that sort of attack. Oh, right.

Not like a, yeah, not cutting off the wrong leg kind of malpractice. Someone else, I was having radiation for breast cancer and they said, what radio station are you going to listen to? And I said ZM, and they had the radio station play the song Staying Alive. I thought, I don't believe we play that very often. It's not us. It's not us. It sounds like somebody at MRI headquarters hates us.

I'm an MRI tech, and one of our sites, the only station we can get is Newstalk ZB. That's a painful listen for someone in an MRI machine. I'd rather listen to that. Humming ring of the machine. That's terrible. Wow, wow, wow, wow. Oh, my God, someone else.

This sound system for ZM doesn't work at their clinic. Well, we must simply, we'll send a technician over. We'll send a technician over and get a bandage. Don't they know about the iHeartRadio app? Yeah, I know. Yeah, goodness me. We should, in fact, hire a full-time technician in their job as we just take reports of people whose workplaces

or wherever can't get the radio station, we send them in. Yeah. And so they can. And they say, let us change that for you. I love that. We fix it. I love that. That's great.

Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. I bought a suitcase yesterday. I'm so excited. That's a big purchase, a suitcase. Yeah, I know. Because I have never actually made a good suitcase purchase. I've either had hand-me-downs or like op shop finds or the last one I bought was just a real cheapie.

Like I think it was like $70 and it burst apart in my last trip and now it's in the garage. And you'll never recover from seeing your knickers going on the conveyor belt. On the carousel. Yeah. Yeah. It's literally mortifying. Yeah.

And I'm going away soon. I've got quite a lot of travel to do at the end of the year. And I actually do travel a lot. And I was like, man, I've been like fishing out my mum's sort of leftover suitcase from the garage. Is that what you take when we go away on holiday? A little one. Well, when we go away, I've just been taking duffel bags. On work trips

there's always a duffel. Yeah, I know, and I hate it. And also, nobody's doing country road duffels anymore. I know, grow up. Aren't they? Grow up. I don't know, are they? Yeah, girlies, sorry, we wanted to bring it up. Oh my god, you look like I've just offended you in the worst possible way.

No, I know. I mean, how many times have we waited for Carwin's bloody Country Road Duffel? Oh, my God, I know. No, no, no. I only take that. Carry on. Thank you very much. Yeah.

Country Road Duffel. I don't trust it on a carousel. Yeah, no, exactly. Because it's a canvas sack. It's not doing anything. I mean, I feel like everyone had them like 15 years ago. Oh, yeah, I had one. I've still got a Duffel, but it's my gym bag.

Yeah, okay. So I bought a proper suitcase. It is so nice. Hardshell? Hardshell. What colour? It's like a trunk, bright red, cherry red, like the colour of my nails. Lovely. And it's like this trunk style and I've got my initials put on it. I'm like, I've gone out. Like I'm really excited for this. Yeah. I'm jealous.

Like I saw this and I was like, I was sort of sore and was like, I've been looking at these for a while now. You know, they pop up being advertised to me and I was like I was sort of saw it and was like I've been looking at these for a while now you know they pop up being advertised to me and I was like I'm thinking about it and then you were like

that's hot and I was like well Fletch thinks it's hot I'll get it I'm a luggage influencer yeah anyway so I bought the suitcase in a bit of a big purchase

big moment and then you were like you've got to get packing sales and I've heavily Carwen's clapping yeah see

Carwen backs me up on this. They are so stupid. And then Carwen was like, you can fit way more. And I was like, physically, that's not true. Yes, it is. Physically, it's the same amount of stuff. So I've used packing, and you actually. And they're not vacuum packed.

So Kmart have like a set. What did you get? The Kmart ones? I got the Kmart ones. Yeah. I got the Kmart ones because I don? What did you get? The Kmart ones? I've got the Kmart ones. I've got the Kmart ones because I don't believe in them as a system. I don't believe in them.

So you're going to try. You are going to try. And lots of people say the Kmart ones are great, right? Even because there's all sorts of expensive ones. I just love it. Have you used the packing cells? Do you use them, Vaughan? We've got some packing cells.

Yeah. And they're shirry hogs or the packing cells. I forgot. So then you're just raw dog in a suitcase. Yeah, I'm a raw dog. I roll it up in raw dog. It's fun. How great are they, Carolyn?

They are the best. See, I was the same. I was like, they can't do that much. And then one day I was like, fine, I'll listen to Fletch. I was going to Taylor Swift. I had a lot of clothing to take with me. Is he on Big Packing Sale? I am.

Are you on Big Kmart? I'm a Kmart Packing Sale influencer. The luggage fluencer. Yeah. And it was so handy because then when I was putting together outfits, I was like okay, my pants are there, my skirts are there, tops are there. But I do

that because when I go away, I sort of unpack. Do you use like drawers in hotels and motels and Airbnbs? No, not drawers, but I'll hang everything. Right. Because even when I was in Wellington doing my show, right, I was there for five nights and I unpacked everything. Undies in one area so I can see, not just packing cell thing.

The good thing about packing cells is you can just put them on wherever, on like the dresser and all your undies are in one thing. But I can do that with the clothes. You just pick them out and you can actually see them. If you're travelling and you're like a couple of nights here, a couple of nights here, a couple of nights here, it's so good. I just think fundamentally it's not changing anything. No, because then you're packing.

You're constantly re-backing. People are saying you do fit more. No, you don't. They're not vacuum packed. You're not sucking the air out of them. Or for me, like when I went to Melbourne, I was like, I'm going to be strategic. I'm going to pack outfits.

So then I packed in them like outfits all together. So then you know what you have. Here's an analogy it's like chucking firewood onto a trailer if you just chuck it on you'll fit more if you if you pack it and stack it in rows and nicely and neatly yeah is that a good analogy that's good but if you roll it tight if you don't need the packing sales to roll it tight and push it in and when i go traveling 90 of what i take is undies and socks. Yeah, well, you'll rock it.

See, I'll pack a little bit more, dresses and fun things and whatnot. Yeah. Well, look, anyway, I have been hashtag Kmart influenced by Fletch. Because I see Kmart do have some nice ones. They've got really nice ones, but I think before I invest in a higher-end packing sale, so many people... You won't need to invest in a higher- packing sale, so many people... You won't need to invest in a higher end packing sale.

Someone just said, guys, you need to chill out. This isn't worth your friendship being ruined. And you're right. It's teetering here because I feel bullied by Fletch. Yeah. I've made a purchase.

You are going to come back from your next holiday and you are going to thank me. Just like Carlin is team packing sale. I'm open. I'm open. I'm not digging in my heels here. I'm open. I'm open. I'm not digging in my heels here. I bought them. You're experimental. And I'm happy to put my cheap packing sales

in my nice new expensive suitcase and we'll just see how it goes. We'll see how it goes. I love this for you. Someone said there's pink unicorn ones. I got plain ones. Where are the pink unicorn ones? From Kmart. Wow. Kmart. Next time. Kmart. Come on. Well, thank you. Come on. Next time. Bye, Mark.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. 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-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-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-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-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-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-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-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-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- At both underwhelmed and overwhelmed. Today's fact of the day is for 11 years, the Soviet Union had no weekends. Okay. Okay. Why? Because they just worked? They worked.

For the betterment of the country? September 29, 1929 was the last Sunday of Sundays in the Soviet Union. As Joseph Stalin said, it makes no sense that everybody takes a day off at the same time because, look, these factories and machines have been so unproductive. Right. And so they were six days. They were working six days a week. Sunday was the only day off anybody got.

Big church day for the Orthodox Russian religious. You know, just a family day. Clean your house. Those sorts of things you always do on your day off. Well know, just a family day. Yeah. Clean your house. Those sorts of things you always do on your day off. Well, it was only one day off. It was a six-day working week. So it's not weekend.

It's just a day off. A day off. Sunday. And so Sunday, September 29th, was the last time before the new five-day working week was introduced, but everybody was on a different five-day working week. Okay. You choose day-to-set days. was introduced, but everybody was on a different five-day working week. Okay.

Your Tuesday to Saturdays. Quite smart, isn't it? One-seventh of the labour force worked Saturday to, worked Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. And then the next seventh started Monday and worked through till Friday. Yep. And then the next one started Tuesday and worked through till Saturday. Yep.

So it was always working. Yeah. It was only a small percentage of people not working every day. Jeepers. So that meant that factories and everything were far more productive, but obviously people didn't love it. Yeah. Because they couldn't have,

you might have family that you want to spend time with, but they're on a different five-day working week. Now you do have two days off a week, but it might not be two days that links up with anybody else. I mean, that's just kind of life for a lot of people right now anyway. Well, no, that's what I was going to get to. Then they changed it to, after a while, they were like, this is working so well, let's just put it back to a six-day working week.

But everybody starts on a different day. So it went from the five-day working. Now you're back where you started, except you're not getting days off at the same time as your family. Yeah. Well, that's awful. People were fairly unhappy with it. And so it was scrapped by 1940,

11 years of trial and error and changing after it began in 1929, they brought back. Sunday being the day off in Soviet Russia. But now, like you say, everybody works different, shift workers work throughout. Not really about calendars though, is it? Well, it is because here, stick it up your ass, is a 1930 Soviet calendar with the five-day work week.

But it's not really a fact about calendars. And this would be what group you belong to. I feel like we were promised firemen. Each group had a symbol. For example, there was the group represented by the sickle. There was the hammer. I have times of this kind of detail. There was a star and a flag.

And so you would know that by this calendar, that was the start of your five-day work week. Right. Fascinating. The next time you saw it was the start of your next five-day work week. Not so. You said it wasn't a calendar, but I've just shown you. I sort of feel like we're...

That looks like a big wall planner right there. I just sort of keep asking, like, do something about the stalls in the malls. Yeah, do something about the fireman's calendar, you know? You know something about the stalls in the malls. Yeah, do something about the fireman's calendar, you know? You know something about the stalls in the malls? Okay. It's only going to get more and more convoluted. So today's...

Today's fact of the day. For 11 years, from 1929 to 1940, the Soviet Union had no weekends. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. The impossible phone-in topic. A topic we think is so hard we won't get calls. Yeah. Now, this is a story from Christchurch.

Sometimes when we do them, we also feel like that girl in class that's totally going to nail the exams, but she's constantly saying, like, I think I might fail. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, this is a woman in Christchurch. She had a harrowing week. Wait, so I thought this was an overseas story.

So did I, because it was on an Aussie website, and then it just said Christchurch woman. And then it's also just one of those stories that's so wild, you expect it to be from America. So she had been experiencing some stomach pain, exhaustion, and significant weight loss in a short period of time. Went to her GP and was like, oh, I don't know, something feels a bit odd. Went for an ultrasound on her spleen.

There were some abnormalities. And then she was sent for a CT scan. Yeah. Right? That's the big, I've never had a CT scan, I don't think. Different to an MRI, but I don't know. Short for cat, I believe. It just meows at you.

It meows and you go, meow. So you have a little look inside. The next day, she got the phone call that no one wants to get, which is the doctor needs to see you urgently. Now, if you've had a CAT scan and then you get that, you're freaking out, right? Yep. So she's thinking to herself, how bad is it?

The nurse said, we need you to come in. All I can tell you is that there are some changes happening within you. Yep. So she's thinking to herself, how bad is it? The nurse said, we need you to come in. All I can tell you is that there are some changes happening within you. Yep. So before, she couldn't wait for this appointment, this woman. So she went on her Manage My Health thing to see records where it revealed in some documents or some notes that she had multiple cancerous lesions on her liver. Primary source being the pancreas.

Then went to the doctor. The doctor said, you know, this is what the likelihood is. With this kind of cancer, it's a pretty terminal diagnosis. Wow. She spends six days believing she has terminal cancer. She's told her children. Yeah. She has started looking into a sister dying.

She's thinking about things she wants for her funeral. Did she blow all of her money on a quick trip to Disneyland? Would you do that? No. I feel like that's what Savorn would do. She started to look at age progression photos of her grandchildren so she might get to see what they look like when they're older. She is in full I'm going to die mode.

Oh, my God. Threw out a bunch of her old stuff. She just went full I'm going to die mode. Oh, my God. Threw out a bunch of her old stuff. She just went full for a week, just went, oh, my God. Okay, wow. I'm out. Not messing around. Went to go get some more blood tests done so they could get to the core of it,

where it was revealed there'd been a medical mix-up. She'd been given someone else's results. And, in fact, she wasn't at all dying. There was a non-cancer assist on her ovary. Yeah. Her liver and pancreas completely healthy. And that her other ailments were probably due to just the stress. Oh no.

And so it was just a mix up with the scans. Can you imagine that diagnosis? Like, hey, this is it. Your life's been cut short. You're 55 years old. 55. And then you spend a whole week doing this. Now, obviously, like, the board are going,

we're launching a huge investigation into how this happened and how it all got stuffed. And sincere apology that she was given the stress to her and her family. Soz really, Sozzy. Sozlol. Sozlol. You know, here's a voucher. Here's a Westfield voucher.

Here's a $50 Westfield. Have they spoken about, are you even able to get compensation in New Zealand for that? I don't know. This is fresh. This is like a week ago. If this was America, you'd sue them for millions. Oh, you'd sue them.

Yeah. Anyway, so this is what the Our Impossible phoner is today. Have you been part of a medical mix-up? Oh, like when they took the wrong leg. Yeah, like an error, probably not in your favour. Yeah. Or you received like this poor woman. Or maybe it was in your favour. Maybe you went in

for, I don't know, shoulder surgery and came out with a fantastic set of breasts. Yes! And you're like, whoa, where did these come from? Wow, where we were. Yeah. And they're like, oh, we'll go back in and get the shoulder and we were. Oh, well, we were. Yeah. Yeah.

And they're like, oh, we'll go back in and get the shoulder and we'll take them out at the same time. You weren't taking theirs. Oh, my God. Imagine, like, getting a small mole removed, but they just give you a little, like, little, like, staple at the sides, a little nip-tuck. But it's normally not those kind of stories. It's these kind of stories where you're mixed up with someone else

or someone oversees something. Yeah. Okay. Let's take some stories. 0800-DARLS-AT-M. Give us a call. You stories. 0800 DARS at M. Give us a call. You can text her as well. 9696.

Have you been in the middle of a medical mix-up? Give us a call. The impossible phone-in topic is have you been part of a medical mix-up? Because there was a woman in Christchurch

who was led to believe that she had terminal cancer. Turns out, a non-cancerous cyst on the ovaries and she's actually tired. But the things were switched around like the scans. Wrong patient details.

Oh dear. Spent the week planning the end of her life. Jasmine, what was your medical mix-up? My medical mix-up is that I, on my personal notes, have been diagnosed as obese. But I'm nowhere near obese. Why does it say that?

I'm not sure. I went in one day to see the doctors, and I noticed that it was on my notes. I was like, hey, what's going on? Like, I'm not obese. And they're like, you know, we see that. That's been mixed up with someone else's notes. And I was like, well, can you remove it? And they told me that they couldn't.

It had to be the person who put it on there. And so, yeah, it says on my notes that I'm obese. Oh, no. It's so weird. They can't be like, not obese. You'd think they'd be like edit notes. Yeah. I thought it was going to be like a, what's that stupid number, BMI thing, and you're really muscly and so you weigh heavier.

But no, it's just someone else's mixer. No. I've always said it like 50, 60 kilos, and the heaviest I was was like 65 when I was pregnant with my first kid. Oh, jeepers, you're quite petite. Yeah. Wow. That's insane.

Jasmine, thank you. Maybe they didn't know you were pregnant. They just saw you walk in, they're like, jeez, the guts on this thing. Yeah, jeez. Didn't even weigh her. Yeah. Jasmine, thanks for the messages in.

My nana was on a waiting list for a hip replacement. A spot came up. They ended up putting the wrong replacement in her. She now has to have a shoe built up because they put in a shorter person's hip. Oh my.

No. Surely you'd be like get that out. They refused to admit they mucked up. She has to have a shoe built up and there's issues with her knee

due to the unbalance of her body after the hip replacement. Oh my God. According to my sister's ACC record, she's missing a thumb. She's got both thumbs. Don't know where they're coming from. Okay, we'll get to more of your medical mix-ups next.

The impossible finding topic, have you had a medical mix-up? Have you been part of a medical mix-up? There's plenty of them. Wild messages coming through. Our daughter, when she was a baby, needed an x-ray and they said, interesting fact about your daughter is that her heart's on the right side of her body, not the left.

Oh my god. They had it run the wrong way, didn't they? They literally just had it back to front. They were just looking at the wrong side of the x-ray. Wait, and there was a doctor reading that? The writing would have been all backwards. There's always like a date and all that. No, you know, you know,

you know when you get an x-ray, they always put something down beside it and it indicates that's the left side. Yeah. They'd put it on the wrong side when they were x-raying the child.

So if you were looking at the sheet, it was the right one, but they'd put the left on the right-hand side, the little thing they put down to like a place marker.

How funny. Wild. They said they received a written apology. Okay. Because they started freaking out about all the things that could happen if your heart's on the wrong side. Right. Someone did message in because the story was that this woman had received the diagnosis of someone with terminal illness.

Yeah. When she really had just a benign cyst. Someone's like, well, let's think about the one who thought they were just cruising around life with a benign cyst. I know. Who actually had terminal cancer. Yeah. Someone's like, well, let's think about the one who thought they were just cruising around life with a benign cyst. I know. Who actually had terminal cancer. Yeah. Someone's like, you're fine. Yeah, you're all good.

And then six days later, actually. You're really not good. Mix those up. A doctor asked me about my hepatitis during pregnancy. I was like, I don't have hepatitis. But the way I said it must have sounded really like, I've got hepatitis.

Like it was a shame thing. Yeah. And he said, don't say you do. Don't say you've got hepatitis. And was a shame thing yeah and he said don't say you do don't say you've got hepatitis and my husband was just sitting beside me looking at me like

you didn't tell me you had hepatitis yeah that would have been information it was on the notes don't know where it came from but had blood tests had blood tests again

they're like oh you know you've never had hepatitis do you think it's because like you know when you go to give blood or you get blood tests they're always like

is this your date of birth what is your date of birth and they're like triple checking everything yes yes because if they mix if they're always like, is this your date of birth? What is your date of birth? And they're like triple checking everything. Yes, yes. Because if they mix that up. What is your full name? Someone else is getting your results.

Yeah. And it could be really damning. It could be bad, yeah. My doc said in automatic text saying I was COVID positive during the initial outbreak when I hadn't been tested. I was like, oh no. And apparently I was like one of the first people in New Zealand to have COVID, but I didn't have COVID.

Oh my god. Look, my mum got a message from her doctor to say she was overdue for a pap smear. My mum's had a full hysterectomy years ago, so wasn't quite sure what they were planning on checking. Yeah, right. Your whole bloody system's gone. It's gone. Whatever you smear in the

pap up there. You just get in there and be like, there's nothing up there. You'd be like, oh, we've got terrible news. It's evaporated. Yeah. There's so many people. There's literally so many people. We've got a phone call. Is there an overflow?

A lot of them are about when they've gone to a hospital and something's gone wrong. So not so much just like a whoopsie daisy where we've muddled up the names of the birthdates or the weights or something. Lots of misdiagnoses. Yeah, right. Like, you're fine.

Yeah. Someone said, my mum got a phone call and got told over the phone about her cancer treatment. And mum was just like, oh my God. And then after she got off the phone, we're like, but they don't ring you to tell you they have cancer. What exactly did the person on the phone say? Oh, it said, start talking about treatment without letting me know I've got cancer. Yeah, yeah, they just jumped straight in with, this is how we're going to treat the cancer and we need you to be in next

Wednesday for chemotherapy. And mum's just like crying and we're just like, wait a minute, mum. No one, they don't call you and tell you that's not the first step. No. And so we rung back and they just got one number wrong. Oh, God. Got one number wrong, Mum didn't have cancer. Oh, she said.

I wonder if this happens all the time. Just to bring it back from cancer. I was just given the wrong person's glasses when I got a new glasses prescription. First time I ever needed glasses as well. So I got them and my eyes, it was like awful wearing them. And they said, you're just going to get used to wearing them. Oh, yeah. After a while, I went back and I was like, that's so bad.

They're like, oh, that's not your prescription. It was someone else's glasses. That happens. You're just there going, oh, my God. Oh, another podcast in the bag. The plastic bag. Are they back? No, no, still banned.

Okay. They never left. No, sorry. That's where you come in with the line, boy. Boy, man, if you enjoyed that. Okay. Oh, and if you enjoyed it, give us a rating and a review and be sure to tell all of your friends.

God, I need some sleep. Yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
