to play. The top six is coming up. Yeah, Catmandu and Rip Curl are owned by the same people and they're shutting some stores. Oh, okay. This is terrible news. Just a couple. Not all of them, no, no, no, no. But it might mean that your local Rip Curl store isn't available to sell you Rip Curl.

Because when was the last time anyone went into a Rip Curl store? I'm not sure. I went in not just, I went in this year because I needed to find a sun hat for when I was in Europe. Oh, I thought you were finding some boardies. No, no, no, no, no. Also, what do you set you back these days?

They were like 90 bucks last summer. That's ridiculous. They'd easily be 120 now, sure. You reckon? They are the worst short you can buy because there's no give in them. No, they get so taught. Yeah.

There's no good. There's actually been a turn here. I'm looking, no, I'm looking, I'm seeing Rip curl 3299 for boardies. Oh, that's out. Surfers Skate's got some Billabong Ben's Voltz O'G for 31.

Okay, maybe the boardy index has changed. Maybe. Yeah. Remember they were so expensive at one stage. I don't think there was a huge demand. No. There has been lately, anyway, unless you're an actual surfer. Yeah. The top six 90s surf labels to fall back on.

Okay, yeah, nice. This is going to be a walk down. Nistalgia Boulevard. Well, I was going to say Nisalgia Boulevard. Oh, okay. It's lovely. Nostalgia Boulevard's lovely. Yeah, that was actually my Rockwest band name.

I walk this lonely road. Yeah, we did a lot of Grand Day covers, but I thought so. Try not to dwell on it too much. Next on the show. A warning of sorts. If you like to sit on the toilet and scroll on your phone, which I know we all do. Play ZM's Flashbourne and Haley. I would say when I feel the need to a blute,

I do it when I feel it and then it happens and then I'm done. Same. So you would say you do swift ablutions. Swift. Yes, I'm also swift ablut. I wouldn't go I might sit in the toilet and see what happens Do you know what I mean? I'll just feel it and be like

This is about to occur I sit down and it occurs Yeah And then I leave Whereas Vaughan you tend to Oh Dilly Daly Dilly Daly And you'll disappear for Often longer than an ad break gives us

Yeah yeah because I'm just going to pop to the toilet And then the will be sat here And then it's time to do the radio jobbing And you haven't returned Yeah I'll go Yeah An ablution has occurred You don't do anything swiftly, anything in life.

Actually, nothing. We're a couple of switches. Fording aeroplanes, it'll happen maybe. No. No. Driving, though, since he's been in the Ranger, swifter. A lot swifter. I've somehow in the Ranger switched it to miles per hour. Now it's a guess for me, how fast am I going?

So the reason I'm talking about how long we're spending on the toilet is because there was a fresh study. And this is long studied, really. but there's a fresh study about the link between the time spent on the toilet sitting and hemorrhoids I am familiar with the risk which is the sentence I really enjoyed

the bulging of a rectal vein really enjoyed that sentence so it causes it yeah so they used to say hemorrhoids would come from pressure right that's why weightlifters often get them because they're bearing down I put the heavy bar of my head.

Or from straining while abluting. Right. But they are saying it is just as risky to just be sitting scrolling on your phone. Yeah. And that's what is keeping people on the toilet for longer is we sit down to do an ablution and then we just start scrolling

and then we end up spending longer than five minutes on the loo. We're in an algorithm. We're in an algorithm. We've hit a deep rectal vein on Instagram. Yeah. And we're getting good content. We don't want it to see. stop and the actual just sitting is what is now causing them.

And you wonder why people take so long in the toilet when you're waiting for a toilet store. Yeah. Like get off your phone. Oh, when you go to like a toilet here at work or like a public toilet and everybody in there is listening to something. I know you're like, I'll go in to use the urinal, the urinal. And you hear like TikToks and stuff.

You're just like, what are you doing? You're in the toilet. Yuck. Get out of there. Sitting on a standard toilet seat without pelvic support increases. pressure on hemorrhoideal cushions. Hemorrhoidal cushions. Okay, so get off your phone in the toilet.

Get off your phone. Okay, this is weird. Focus on... Do you know how the showers in our gym, you can see people's heads over the top? Yes, if they're tall, which we are. If they're tall. I saw a tall guy in the shower the other day

with his headphones in. In the shower. Well, they are waterproof, eh. Are they? No, they're like $400. Airpods, like $300. But can't you swim in some air pods? Some swimmers have like bands that you can put in, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But no, you don't go in the shower in the air pods. I'm sorry. Do you have a coffee in the shower? Yeah, I love a shower wine or a shower beer. Shower beer at the end of like a day when you're getting ready to go to like dinner and nothing hits harder than a shower beer. Sometimes I'll have a shower whiskey. Yeah, nice.

But when I first flatting, when I was at drums school, you'd have a shower dorry. But, I mean, that was just different times. What do they hit like? Mate. Because you know how a shower fart is a different. different fart? Yeah, because it slaps. It slabs, but it also. I don't know if there's a density, there's a density and the humidity

changes the fart chemically. What's a fart like with a shower dome? I've, okay, I can tell you it's its own little personal gas chamber. Never fart with a shower dome, that's what they say. Just pop the door a little bit, would be my advice. Crack a door. Play Z-M's, Fletch Vaughan and

I love seeing buildings that used to be something else. Yeah. Like when they're renawing in and they take down a sign and you see the old sign. Oh, one behind it? Yeah. Yeah, I love an old pizza hut that's now like got cars in it or something. Yeah, they're often a car yard or a bank. I've seen a pizza hut as a bang.

TNC. TNC had the yin yang. The yin and yang sign. No, I do not remember town and country. That was a New Zealand one. Neither one's old. Yeah, I think it's because I'm significantly younger than you. I might also be, because it was, I think it was for poor people.

I probably had a purple town and country. In fact, I did have a purple town and country. It was a small logo on the front. Yes. The big version. of the logo on the back. Number four on the list of the top 690 surf labels to fall back on with... You can buy TNC they're going by now.

with Rip Curl closing some of its stores. Roxy. Oh, man, I remember getting my first Roxy shirt and I thought, I've made it. I think Roxy was like the last man standing there for a while. Wasn't there a time on Trade Me when you were searching clothes? It was like Roxy and Playboy were like the biggest search. Yeah, yeah. Totally.

Definitely. I remember Trade Me back in the mid-2000s. Yeah. Would release their like most searched brands. And Roxy was always on there. If you were selling your car, you'd just drop in Roxy somewhere in the description. That'll pop up in the searches. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's car, Roxy. Roxy's still alive and well. Yeah, it is, yeah. There's a Roxy Walser, a Roxy one piece for the ladies or the men's or the names or the days. I'm not, no, where are you wearing a one piece? I'm just saying this particular one piece, your dick would go out one side, your balls would go at the other. I'm just saying it's not made for it. Oh, maybe not.

You don't know. You don't know? It's really, come back. This guy with an 85-inch TV. It's not always going to pop out the side. Not everyone's got an 85-inch amount. Even my little 29-inch CRT-Panasonic is going to be falling out the sides of this particular one.

But it's $115 New Zealand? Jeez. Man-togs are expensive. Number two on the list of the top 690 surf labels to fall to and these tough times for Rip Curl are Rusty. Oh, man, I loved Rusty. What was the deal with Rusty? That's still around, though, is it?

ZM. Fletch Forne and Haley. Give him his proper title. It's Little Alex Warren. He's our personal friend as well. Don't deny it. I don't know if we'd say personal friend. I think it took him a while to recognize us, to be honest.

Okay. Now, text in right now if you have a name that suits your job or if you know someone who does because there is a woman who is stepping down from her senior role at the UK arm of McDonald's and her name is Zoe Hamburger. And that is just a flawless name

for someone who works for a hamburger joint. Because what is the name hamburger? Is it German? Hamburg. I mean, there's a Hombog. Yeah. Is that where the hamburger? hamburger, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I can't even remember. It's named after it, and Frankfurt is named after Frankfurt. Yeah. Hamburger's are named after Hamburg. You've done this as a fact of the day. Yeah. Do you think she was in the job interview even trying? But her name is hamburger, not burger.

Because I know someone who's last name is Burger. Hamburger. She's the UK CEO. What? She's the McDonald's UK CEO. I thought she just worked at a McDonald's. UK Ireland, Chief Executive. Oh, no, no, she's not.

She's not. I'm sorry. Jesus. Not, no, no. I was going to say she, how does she ride through the ranks? The CEO is leaving, but this Miss Zoe Hamburger is also leaving, but she's a senior in a senior. All right, but she's still on a senior. Zoe Hamburger. Oh, no, she doesn't just work in McDonald's.

She's like up there in the corporate sector of McDonald's. God, you're just destined to work in the burger industry with that name. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm producer Shannon in saying that she is in the wrong industry for her last name, Shannon Trim. Yeah, yeah. I have so many options. I could be a hairdresser, a personal trainer, I could go to Fontera. Yeah, you could sell Monja.

Trim down. Trim down. You could be a tailor. Yes. Trim things. That would be good. A Brazilian waxer. Keep it trim, you know.

Keep it trim. No, they wags. Yeah, that rips it completely out. Trims you do at home. Lorns, lawns and hedges. Yeah, lawns would be good. There's so many industries you could go in. I know.

I mean, Fletch, you could work at Fletcher's. That would sort of be the only one. Yeah. Yeah, that's, yeah. If you got a job at Fletcher construction, people would think that you were part of the Fletcher family. My dad, as a builder at some stage,

did work for Fletcher construction. Did he? Yeah. Mr Fletcher at Fletcher's. No, no, no. That's what they called him. That's what they called him Nepo baby. But no relation, unfortunately.

You could have worked at Smith City, but then now you'd be out of a job, so. Well, I own the, I'm actually the air to the Smith and Smith. Glass people. Yeah, of course. Yeah, I'm the last, Smith. My cousins are the first Smiths. Yeah.

You could work in sprawling. I could. If I got a job in sprawling. Some messages. My childhood dentist was Mr. Gummer. Oh, that's perfect. That's great. Gummer.

I've heard that last name. 100% straight up. Our vets receptionists and vet nurse were called kitty and cat. Oh. There wasn't their last names, but it was very funny. Yeah, that's good. I like that. Being a vet with the name Kitty is really great.

We... Is that a nickname though? Or do people actually get... Because I know people, kitty, go by kitty, but is it actually a birth name? Or like Catherine. Or is it Catherine that can be now, I guess. Well, maybe they identify as a cat now.

At intermediate in the Manawatu in the 90s, we had a woodwork teacher called Mr Woodcock. Well, that's pretty good. I'm sorry, but like one of those on the lathe, I reckon. Change your last name. I don't know if that's hygienic form. I'd just drop the cock, do you know, but just as wood. Yeah.

Yeah. Not like you to drop a cock. No. Very out of character. I don't know why you're laughing. My surgeon is, my surgeon is Dr. Lash. Dr. Lash. Lashes.

Yeah. Lashing your heart. They would be a good eyebrow technician. So that's what somebody's messaged in a good point. Most of our surnames did come from the occupations. We never used to have surnames. Yeah. They were, you just had names and then they needed to like work out who was paying tax or not, right?

That was the basic premise of it. Affliction makes fun. and arrows. Yeah, they do, yeah. So that's where the Fletcher, most of our surnames, like Smith is, like, blacksmith, goldsmith, they work with metals. Sproul. To sprawl is to walk in an erratic and jerky manner.

So you were kind of like the town lepers or something. Yeah. Play ZM's, Fletchbourne and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Haley. Oh my God, Georgio Omani's dead. Yeah, I heard that news. Brin had that in the news at 7 o'clock.

Just, just thinking about, You know, those big brands. Very sad. He was old. Good run. How much was he worth when he died? Hey. To a go-go-go.

Giorgio. Is he the one with the cat? Amani. Who had the cat? No, that was Carl Lagerfeld, darling. He's long gone. Is he? Who will inherit his billions?

Billions? Yeah, I bet. Forbes estimated his worth 12.1 billion at the time of his death. He ranked amongst the top. 200 billionaires globally. Wow. Tell you what, Armani does a good suit. Does a good suit.

Did a good suit. Oh, come on now. Now, maybe they'll bury him in an IKEA coffin. That was such a terrible. Loose Segway. Maybe his family will... Do they do them? I know Costco does.

Costco does a coffin, surely. By the way, I'm building my own. I saw it to my dad. about it. I don't know if you're allowed to. Yeah, yeah. You totally allowed to. Okay. Put me in a woven kit. Oh, yeah, beautiful.

Half me in the bloody ground. Yeah. Get me in there. Well, IKEA have announced an opening date. Yes, a 34,000 square meter IKEA store will be opening on the 4th of December. My house is about 130.

Thousand square meters. And that's enough to manage. I've been into a couple of these in Melbourne, or even to one in Melbourne and one in Sydney. Yeah. Over the years. They're gigantic. You get lost in them. And they're designed, they're known for their maze. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You see things. You didn't intend to see and then you spend, spend, spend. So, I'm excited. Apparently, Auckland Council said to IKEA, don't open on public holidays, like opening, the opening of the store. Yep. Opening of the store on public holidays,

Fridays, weekends, Black Friday, or Boxing Day. Right. Just a couple of weeks before Christmas. Yeah. At Sylvia Park, one of the most busiest malls is in the car. Whereabouts is at Sylvia Park is? It's like behind it. You can see it from the motorway when you're driving part.

Because they're saying it began construction in 2023. Yeah. It's ginormous. It's big, yeah. It's huge. And it's finally, God, I'm excited. I am too, for the little bits and bobs. You know, IKEA's not really my aesthetic.

No, I wouldn't. Because it's not from the 1800s. Yeah. It's not riddled with borer. I like mine to be nearly dust. Yeah. My vintage furniture to be on the verge of powdering itself. Yeah, you couldn't buy a TV cabinet from them and put a taxi-edemied ferret on top of it.

It would feel a bit off. But all their little bits and bobs, their linens, their, like, homewares. Yeah, so good. When I've gone to the Melbourne store, I've been like, oh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haves and such. Yeah, yeah, like little bits of bobs. I just know that they did that. When you go to any Airbnb overseas, everything in that Airbnb is from IKEA. Everything.

Everything. It comes flat pack, right? You have to build it yourself. Yeah, it does, yeah. The furniture, yeah. The vases don't come flat pack. I was going to say, blow your own glass bars. So the reason we said it's good news if you don't live in Auckland

is because they're also, when they launch on December 4, opening a network of pickup places all over the country. Yeah. So if you... Even the South Island, there's 10 in the South Island. Yeah, 29 different ones. So you order online, right? Do they do the hot dogs and the meatballs at the pickup port?

They're even doing Greymouth. Well, that's good for Greymouth. It's great for Greymouth. On your way down to... Shout out to Greymouth. If you're listening in Greyhouse, right now, I-800-Z-M, I'll give you $10. I'll transfer you $10.

Wait, is this a new competition? Are you listening in the middle of nowhere? Vaughn will give you $10. $100,000 if you're in Grey Mouth right now. I think up the lines, producers, I'm giving away $10. I think we should call it Vaughn's middle-of-now-weer listener. Yeah. Vorn's $10 middle-of-now-weer listener.

We go off air, play a little bit of music. You tell me the address, I look it up on Google Maps. Oh, so you're not lying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because then I can ask them a couple of quick questions. No, but you'll know their bank account. No, they need to add us on fine mine. You need a temporary add us on fine mine.

I love that. Or drop a pin. Well, I mean, grey mouth, yeah, all over the country. Cromwell's getting one. Gore's getting one. Gore. Oh, 100 d'all see them. If you're in court.

No, Haley, you'll give you 10 bucks. No, we know that people in Greemouth. Yeah, we know. Oh, no, I know we've got listeners on the West Coast. I know we do. Well, we've got a frequency, don't we? Yeah, we do. And I heart radio.

take it anywhere. Fantastic KPI there, fantastic KPI. Answer one of the fine words. Well, the producer girlies are. That's what they're doing at the moment. Are they on the line? Yeah, they're on the line. And a lot of people as well are...

Shannon might have a grey mouth. Yeah, a lot of people are calling for secret sound as well. Yeah. Well, that's not what we asked for. Right now, it's not secret sound. That's $50,000. This is Vaughan's $10 listener. Okay.

Brady, good morning. How's we going? Good, mate. Now, are you Vaughn's $10 listener? Well, well, I'm hoping, yeah. Okay. Whereabouts are you right now? Well, currently I'm actually up in Jackson's,

but I'm sort of working at the moment. You're up and where? Jackson's sort of halfway to crush it. Jackson West Coast refers to Jackson Bay, a remote fishing village at the end of the west coast of New Zealand, South Island. Oh. So Jackson, so it's on the Midland lines,

sort of just before Oterra. See, you're not in Greymouth. Well, I'm from Greymouth. Yeah, I'm from Hamilton. It's not where I am. Wait, do you say Brady's not going to get $10? Brady's not getting the $10. This is $10.

I'm not giving it away willy-nilly. I'm in a personal recession. I'm already regretting offering $10. I'm logging onto my bank, though, so I'm literally going to be able to transfer someone $10 straight away. Brady's from Greymouth. Yeah, no, he's going to be in Greymouth. Yeah, but Brady, do you often listen to Zidium at home in Greymouth?

Most of the time, yeah. Yeah, most of the time. No, but he's not in Greymouth. This isn't how Vaughan's $10 listener work. I feel like Brady should at least get $5. We get Brady $5. It's all or nothing. I'm logging on to my man

I have to authenticate my two-factor authentication I'm logging on right now because yeah okay right Brady I'm sorry but it feels like Warren's not bunching on this you've got to be in grey mouth I'm sorry I'm being a prick

You know what? I might even start picking like suburbs. Oh, yeah, I love that idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Play Z-M's Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. The director of Saltburn, which we all absolutely frothed. Great movie. Emerald Fennell is directing the new Withering Heights

starring Marga Robbie and Jacob Allorty is the lead roles. I can follow you like a dog to the end of the world. A little bit of the trailer. Fall in love. I want to earn a... What the fuck? Is this a modern...

It's like it. No, it's... Reimagining. It's set in the, in the Gothic peri head. But it's done all... Oh, I like it. I like it.

It's done all... Is it super horny? It's done all... It's done it. Remember how they do in that music? Like, you want to touch me? Oh, where we're here. It's like that.

The trailer... I still haven't seen 50 shades of grey. For the smart girlies, I will say... Don't waste time. For the smart girlies, I would say, have a look at the trailer because they are leaning hard into the trope of steamy, steamy

fingers and mouths but I will say the book girlies and I throw now to book girlie producer Carwin are a little bit like... Who actually has a library and a book club and an Instagram at Carwin Reads. Yeah, it's not a library yet you have to have a thousand books

I only have close to 300. I didn't know that was a thing either. Why don't you just go to garage sales and buy any books? No, because I want books to collect and curate. I want one of those really cool... What a nightmare when you move? I want to book a book case.

The box is heavy, heavy box. You think I can move? No. Yeah, oh, true. Someone's selling and buying houses these days. Yeah. So the book girlies are upset at this a little bit because it's not true to the book. Yeah, so Margot Robbie.

And also, Margot Robbie's so much older. Yeah, she's a little bit older than what the character is supposed to be. And I think that that does kind of take away from it. They're also kind of accusing there being a bit of whitewashing of Heathcliff because, obviously. He was a big red dog, of course. No, it's just Jacob Lordy. That was Clifford. That's Clifford, not he Cliff.

Wasn't he a dog too? No. The big red dog. No, no. You've got your big red dogs. Confused, but that character is supposed to be like, it's left open. They never specifically say,

but it's very much implied that they're not wide. But come on, Jacob Aldi's like the hottest actor around at the moment. One of the hottest actors. Absolutely. And a bit of bronzer here and there, you know. Yeah. Yeah. I guess it's whether, I guess it's whether you want it to be like,

like the original, true to form, or you just want some hot actors doing some hot things. I think hot actors, hot things, because they're calling it an erotic adaptation. When's it, when's it, is it even filmed? Is it at Venice? No, it's filmed, it's done. Is that why we're talking about it?

It's been at Venice? Don't actually. It's just the trailer dropped yesterday. Was it one of those obnoxious Venice premieres where someone stands up and claps for 14 minutes? I don't get me going on these bloody standing ovations. The release date is, you'll be able to find a google.co.n.z.

The festivals belong to them now.

I know. As millennials, we need to take our hands off the festivals. We had our big day out. We had our big day outs. They don't get big day outs. They don't get big day out. They were baby, baby, baby, baby, children, children, children. They're not listening to Tool on the Loop-de-Loop.

They're not. Getting a 2pm set from the darkness in 2003. So they're not drinking as much as we did at these festivals. They're not pinging out on the floor, you know, like this. They're just having a nice mild night. They're enjoying the music. They're going to be getting up and they're going for a sprint. And in CrossFit, amazing.

because it used to just be you'd go to a hostel right and there were other people there and you'd hang out so there's apps like websites and apps like meetup.com there's couch surfing

and Airbnb Airbnb experiences help meet people via tours and stuff oh yeah okay and you might be like I'm going to be in this area I'm into pottery

You think Alex wants to be our friends? I'm not following someone who's got a travel account that's also doing stone crafts. No, no, it's all about travel. It's all about travel. No, I'm not. No, I need accounts to be one thing. No, it is, it is one thing.

Yeah right Some people don't like it Some people don't like it That's why if you're going away with a friend You've got to make sure they're not one of those people Because they'll never be independent on a trip And you'll have to babysit them the entire time I've never done solo travelling

And I feel like being alone with my own thoughts Could be problematic in certain situations It's scary Tessa said I'm there to do what I want to do, not humor some new pal with a side quest I care for not. Wow! Oh my God, that sounds like something I would say. Yeah, wow, you have found your radio station.

M, I walk fast and I walk everywhere. So people who dilly-dally and want to take public transport and taxis just slow me down. But of course, it's a group class of tour or something. Then best believe I will be getting chatty with Beryl as she tells me all about her three-ex husbands and the wild shenanigans of yonder. This is my people too. Walk fast. M, it sounds exactly like you. Hurry up.

Tess said, I like the idea of making new friends until it comes time to actually having to talk to people, especially after a long day traveling or walking and a big day sightseeing. Do you find it's easier to talk to people overseas? Because you're overseas and you don't care, whereas in New Zealand, like, everyone knows everyone. And it's just like, I don't know, everyone just thinks if you talk to them on a train or something or in public, you're weird. Whereas overseas, you don't care as much. Maybe. Yeah, I don't know.

Inhibitions. Yeah. Feel the rain upon your skin. Release your inhibitions. Sure. But in Natasha Bettingfield. Rachel said prefer joining a tour of travelling alone,

keeps costs down and safer and nicer going out with a group. Depends if I eat, pray, love travelling or escaping the country for some warmth during winter. And I'm a menace, says Brianna. I have a beer or two and suddenly I'm effing besties with everybody.

Oh, she'd be a lot. Good time. She sounds fun. A lot. So we asked you today for silly little pole, when traveling alone Do you prefer to stay alone or make you friends and 70% of you are travelling alone and staying along?

When you've busted your ghost, we'll read a couple of texts, but I think next week we've got to continue this. My boyfriend at the time ghosted me that rhythm and vines on New Year's Eve. Midnight passed on a sow to walk back to camp and passed them walking hand in hand with some random chick. They're on their way to find somewhere to sell the deal. Straight into handholding. No.

I've been seeing a guy who gave big F-boy vibes, but it was fun. I was in MIQ. Oh my God, M.A.U. Oh, my God. Retro. For two weeks, and he'd be messaging me asking if he could drop anything off for me. I was like, oh, how nice. And I asked for some treats, and he kept putting it off.

Why do you? I say, can I drop something off for you? And someone's like, I'd love some treats. And you're like, maybe tomorrow. Like, why off at the surface? And then ghosted me, so I got at MIQ and it didn't get... Wow. Didn't get anything. I got ghosted by a guy I was seeing. Third time I saw him, we slept together.

That's the magic number. He told me Or on the first or the second or never. I prefer first. I prefer before the first. You've got to know. You like to break the ice by breaking the ice. He said after we slept together, he said to come and see me the next day and just never showed up or message to whatever answer.

Any message I ever spent from again. A few weeks later, I'd given up on trying to get hold of him. I was on my way to pick up my friend from a bar and I saw him on a date with some girl while I drove past. He definitely saw me and his new victim was pointing and smiling at my car. I drove very loud, bright pink, MX5. Oh! He was in disbelief and shock

Well, the reason you played that song is because Haley was on hold to the bank and you just got off the phone to the bank. I know what it is. Okay, so if you've just joined us, if you haven't been listening to the show,

Haley said about an hour ago that she had an unknown $230 charge from something called Eastern Bays last night at 11. and also been taken previously around the same time. For $60. And also Haley had lost her debit card a month ago. Yes. She put it off, she called the bank, she has an answer. It's just shopping. She said, she goes, I was like, why would they be a month apart?

And then I was like, I've had Casey Clinic appointments a month apart. Now, after my Casey Clinic appointments, I do like to pop up. across to the dove hospice shop dove hospice shop which is one of the most bougie o'lala like op shops and I always have a little

looky poo. Right. And did I find a lovely sterling silver bracelet on Wednesday? Oh Jesus okay. Yes I know the exact one. It's so good. You looked at, made everybody look at their bank transactions and you had one of these Eastern Bays. And mine was $15 and I was like, how did I buy something

for 15? You bought something for 230. Mine's a red handbag. Yes. We've been shopping at the hospice. Oh, this is great. And I would just like, I didn't want to bring up my charity work. You know what I did? Really. Yeah. But I found a lovely little pair of silver earrings and a lovely silver bracelet and that

is the transaction. So when she said dove dove shop Eastern Bays and it just came up as Eastern Bays. You know what you do need to do, Haley though? An apology to that worker because you did swear it. Yeah, you did swear at her. Did I swear at her? What do you swore at her? I said, oh, I did swear at her, I said, oh, I was just wondering what the, it was.

Right, okay, yeah. Okay, so it's Eastern Bays because Dab Hospice is based in Glendowie. It's Epsom, yeah. No, it's the, it's the remiura one. Yeah, it's very nice. Anyway, we've got to the bottom of that, but now you still need to get a card. Yeah, I have lost it. So what were you pay waving?

It's not admin day. It's really, really stressing me out. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. 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. Today's final cheese. fact for cheese week, the fact of the day, is that cheese is the world's most stolen food. Oh, yes.

4% of all cheese made worldwide is stolen. How crazy is that? Is there a bit of a black market, is there a bit of a mafia black market in Italy with cheese? Correct. Yes, there is. Yes, there is definitely is. I thought there would be. People looked into why cheese is the most stolen food.

Because it's high value, compact and easy to conceal. basically get some cheese up your pants Get some cheese up your skirt Cheddar tasty slices in your pocket A couple of wheels of brie in the back pocket Yep away you go So it's for its size It's quite valuable especially now

Nowadays it's getting more and more so Also the universal love of cheese It's easy to sell quite quickly And that's important when you're a thief To fork off your goods for cash You've got to have a market for your stolen goods Don't you? And because it's universally love

There's always a high demand for cheese there has been some fairly high, there have been some very high profile cheese heists in Wisconsin, in the US in 2016 $90,000 earth of Parmesan was stolen from a transport truck Parmesan, £20,000 of cheese. Maybe that can be the next season of money heist.

Cheese heist. Just do cheese heist. Yeah, Fletcher's fine watching a show that came out like five years ago. I'm finally watching a show guys that came out five years ago. I haven't seen it. Oh my God, it's so good. It's so good. Sorry, carry on board. In Italy, Parmesan wheels are so valuable that they are literally kept in bank vaults

and all can be used as collateral for loans. Criminal gangs have pulled off warehouse raids and like you said, Mafia controls some black market cheeses. That's crazy. Like imagine you applying for a credit card or something they're like, you know how you have to like put in all your debts and all your assets and you put in your Kiwi saver, you can put in like three blocks of wheels of cheese.

Yeah. So in Canada, police busted what they called the Mozilla Mafia. They were thieves smuggling cheese across the border from the US into Canada to avoid dairy tariffs. Oh, well, that'll be a thing now too. Yeah, even more so. The tariffs, the cheese heists and stuff. So, yeah, one of the highest traded things on the black market as well.

Wow. More so than drugs. Huh. Cheese. So today's fact of the day, and the final for Cheese Week, is that cheese is the most stolen and illegally traded food in the world. Fact of the 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.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Haley. Play ZM's Fleshworn and Haley. So I have a friend staying with me at the moment from Australia. And yesterday I was doing some washing. I'm going to cough. I'm back. Was it really, um... I coughed like a kid.

Like I didn't really try to cover the mouth. You know, they just do that? Yeah, yuck. Anyway, so yesterday I was doing some washing ahead of the weekend. I'm going, by the way, by the way, Hamilton, I'm in you tonight. And I think there's five tickets available. Oh, wow. We've released some.

Okay. So if you want to come. Five tickets. Come along. She's popular. Now, my sister's going tonight. So if you can just tidy up your axe, please. You've met, my mind, she's still 16 years old.

So, yeah, which is weird because she's definitely 40. Yeah, she's absolutely going to get in. And she was with my little sister, so. Just watch your mouth. Okay, well, watch my mouth. Anyway, so I was doing some washing ahead of heading to Hamilton, and I said to my friend who's staying, do you want to chuck something in the wash? Dark load.

Yep. And he said, yes, so got his stuff together and rammed it in the washing machine. And so then I just went in. I just want to distance myself from responsibility here. I went in and just push play. Push the button. I always say push play in the microwave and stuff. Yeah, yeah, push play.

Yeah, it's because it's a triangle button on mine, so I always call it pushing play. I think I say push and go. Yeah, but it doesn't say go. It's a triangle, that's the international sign for play. Play and pause. I want to know the origin. I've got this chat, GPT subscription.

Why is the triangle an international sign for go? Because it's not being so dumb. No, because triangles give way. Triangles give way. Yeah, but when did they get it from? We just want to the origins of the triangle. as the internationally recognised sign for go or play. It'll be because of some mini system or some stereo back in the day.

Someone decided. It's pointing forward. That's why it's an arrow pointing forward like this way. Go! That's the direction the tape's going to roll to play. Yeah. So you press play on the... On my Samsung washer.

Yeah. And then 40 minutes later, just did a quick wash, it sung me my song to... Oh, does he end. D-Din-Din-Din-Din-Din-Din-Din-Din-Din-Din-Din-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d. Is it really that long? Yeah, dude. I've got a Samsung, washing-machine, dryer. Same. They all sing songs. Oh, I've just got a fissure and peckle.

Oh, babes. You used to be able to make them play the national anthem. Yeah, okay. Today, are Māori or English? Middy. Anyway, so it sings me my song, notifying that it's time to move things from the washer to the dryer.

We were short on time, no time to put it outside. It's fabric suicide, but okay. It is fabric suicide, I know, but, you know, the under's needed to be washed. Anyway, I pull out this load of washing, and I start pulling it out and moving it up to the dry. When I feel something not fabricy, I'd say more papery, more sort of hard, like a mini book that one may need in order to return to Australia.

And my friend has left his passport in one of his pockets, didn't check. And again, I'd like to remove responsibility for this, because all I did was press play. You actually just put it in there. It's paid because of the earliest tape recorders in the reel to reels, there was always one point. That's literally what I said. That's literally what we said. No, one right, one pointing left because it indicated

which way it was going to be going. Yeah, yeah, that's surely what I said. I'm confirming what they said. I'm not disagreeing with you. We literally said that. And then of course, fast forward. Two triangles in that direction would be double speed.

Yeah. Anyway, so what I pull out is my friend's Australian passport and it is not a chuck it in the hot water cupboard and see or get a hair dryer on it. We open it. The Australian passports, by the way,

very flimsy. Ours would never. The fabric. The photo page, arguably the most important one, is not like a hard plastic thing like ours. It's just sort of another page. Oh, no. And we go to look at it, and I go to sort of give it a little tension test.

Yeah. And the photo page straight up comes off. Oh, wow. Yeah, so that's not. He needs a new passport. He needs a new passport. And we'll deal with that with the Australian consulate after the show today. But who knew there was an Australian consulate right in downtown Auckland?

Yeah, there is. It's that's going to cost. Hundreds. Fun. Did you hear that? Hundreds. It's going to cost. Anyway, we want to know what went through the wash accidentally.

Oh, I love this. I have washed some air pods before, and then just left them out to dry, and they worked. It was fine. Yeah, it was all right. Full wash, soapy and all, fabric softener and all, and they, and I believe they're still going. I ruined a perfectly good supermarket receipt by leaving it in the pocket of my pants when I put it through the wash. That's devastating. I personally love to wash tissues

I love when you wash a tissue in a pocket When you leave a tissue or something in And you have to do the whole wash again The whole load's ruined Because it's over everything Yeah Yeah I had one of those little

I call them funeral tissues You know the little packet tissues You take to a funeral And by the end of it You're like you're out of the little funeral Tissuees Yeah Well I got a spare pack

And I put it in the breast pocket Of my shirt that I recently Wooded my grandmother's funeral Of course that went through the wash Isn't it? Of course it did yeah And that was just like Oh excuse me

I'll open midwash The whole shirt Luckily it was only the shirt that was in there with it But no, I want to know about expensive things That got ruined Expensive things or precious things Or maybe it wants like a piece of paper Or a receipt for something

And then it's gone and you can't claim back something Or yeah, you know Use under warranty or something You just chucked your marriage licence in your pocket To put it in the right place Okay, 0800 dials at end We'd love to take your calls now text through 9-696

What did you accidentally put through the wash My friend from Australia is staying at the moment and washed his passport. Haley also... And it has disintegrated. For those listening throughout the show today and have been on the... It's been a wild journey. Haley chased up with the bank a couple of rogue payments. Yeah.

Because she's lost her debit card for the last month. And now it turns out her license as well is gone. So clearly though they're hanging out together somewhere. Someone did text in the same, boy, the show is really ADHD diagnosing itself right now. Yeah. I know. It's exhausting being me. Rebecca, what went through the wash?

I quite often have gotten my clothes off the line and found that there are old dog treats in the pocket. Ah, yeah, that's nice and soggy and then re-hardened on the washing line. Yeah, how do they end up once they've gone through a wash? All very gelled together in one clump in the bottom of the pocket. Oh, like a meaty log. A meaty knobbly log Meaty log

Because I don't feed No I feed biscuits So I just buy a bag of dog food As their treats Because they fed raw Right Okay You stick a handful in your pockets

And you don't think They use them all But one dog tells you that Yes no There are some in the pocket Can you feed them to me please And I just ignore it Going no there's not

You're being stupid Yeah But they know Just put them through the wash Yeah that's why they have Those detector dogs At the airport They know

Don't they They know They'll sniff you They know Rebecca, thank you. Brony, what went through the wash? My F-POS machines is... Oh, I was going to say, a whole machine.

That would be quite a pocket filler. Yes, I reckon it would be alright. I reckon there's been drunk people that have stolen those from bars. You know, the wireless ones? Oh, yeah, yeah. Is this one of fun? It also went through the dryer as well. Oh, because I was going to say an F-Post card through the wash

would be fine, wouldn't it? Yeah, well, it came out of the table. dryer and it was all wavy and bench and... Oh yeah the dryer with tango. Like did you ever do that? I never did it but some people microwave money and it shrinks. Is that a thing? The plastic money. Or you put it in the oven and it

shrinks or something? Is that a thing? Yes. I tried to use my hair straightener to straighten it out. That's great. You've got so many good ideas. You're just full of good ideas aren't you? Tell me what happened when you hear straightened your F-Boss card.

So initially it like bubbled to the corner and I burned it a little bit. Yep. And I thought, oh no, I've messed this up. And then I got some baking paper and put it around my post card and then did it and it straightened it out. Okay. And then did you use it and did it work?

Yeah, now it works. Wait, you're still using it? What? Yeah, I'm still using it. Wow. I did not expect a story in such a fashion. Is it a debit card as well? Like, did you flatten the numbers with your ironing?

Yeah, it's flat now? It is a debit card, but it didn't have sticky arty numbers. It's just got. printed. Oh my God, that's some ingenuity from you. You probably saved $10 as well. Yeah, you have. Or whatever a new card cost. I just didn't want to lose the number on the back because I'd memorized it.

Yeah, I know. I know. I don't know how people do it memorize card numbers. It's correct. Haley can do it. Brian, thank you. Some messages in. I was doing a load of whites and my child, young child, by the sounds of things,

paused that because they thought it was a fun game. And I know this because I've got one as well on my Samsung. Yeah. Is that if you pause it, you've got the, drop-in hatch, you push your button and you can shove another couple of things in. Oh, I don't have that. Oh, you simply ask.

You can pause, if you're doing a load of towels and you find a teetail and you're only five minutes into the wash. Pause, open the little gap. My one will just open if there's enough, if the water level's not high enough. Well, that's the one. They said the kids thought it was a fun game like they'd pause it and send mail.

They sent a black vivid. Oh, no, no. This is why you, again, I'll say it. This is why you don't have kids. Keep your text coming in, 96.9. Add it to the list. We've got a list going. What went through the wash.

Haley will be off to the Australian consulate after the show. As a friend, put the passport through the wash. How much does that cost for a new one while you're on holiday in another country? Well, he has just popped into visit, and I don't want to say the number on air because it will shock him to his core. I believe it starts with the four. Yeah, I was going to say, does it start with a four? Because I know a New Zealand passport emergency is starts with a four. Well, he's, yeah, borderline on the need of being emergency.

Yeah. Because sometimes the passport can turn around quite quickly. Well, I got mine in like two days. You got your three, two or three days, yeah. The New Zealand passports are a robuster passport. Somebody said, my brother's New Zealand passport went through the wash. He's traveled internationally multiple times since you've got to love that robust New Zealand passport. It's all about that plastic photograph.

It's all about that. It keeps it, yep. Keeps it noise. Somebody else said, I accidentally put my girlfriend's adult phone. one toy in the wash. Are those waterproof? They're waterproof, but I don't know if you want to put it through a hard, thumpy wash. What's the waterproof?

You're not putting anything inside of you. I was thinking more of the, you know, the weary, buzzy ones and the... Oh, so they're all waterproof. This is waterproof. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, could you take it to 10 metres depth? Great question. Far out.

That'd be a fun, scuba. You know, like, is it a G-shock watch level kind of waterproof? Yeah, yeah, yeah, because of the pressure, the water pressure would force its way in. If the girls get off of listening, can you let us know if they're waterproof? It's just a question for any, you know, females in the Navy listening that go in submarines. Yeah, but they're not typically in the water. They're pressurized, aren't they? The submarine is a pressurized.

So you could take... It would be... So the pressure you try to maintain the surface there are pressure. Yeah, okay. And I don't think females in the Navy who are diving have the time. They're out of missions. Yeah. They are.

Mm-hmm. What are you Googling? Do you want to know the exact wording of what I'm Googling? I don't know if we don't. Some more messages, what's gone through the wash? I had a handwritten letter from Olivia Newton, John. Oh, alright, Pee. But I left it in my pocket and it went through the wash.

Okay. Would that be worth anything these days? Oh, my God. About 15 years ago, I accidentally put my late father's watch given to me by my mom that cost several thousand dollars. he had it for 40 years given to me. Haven't even told my mum. No, you can't.

Do you know what I do? I just go around to mum's house wear it at the time that the watch has stopped and be like, God, still, God, I love this watch. Look at that, still good timing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, look at that, mum, look, it's still working. Look, quarter past three.

That's not ticking, yes, it is. Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. I put a teddy beer through the wash that exploded and clogged up the filter. Oh, no. Oh, nothing like putting a reusable nappy through the wash by mistake with your other clothes. Yuck. You could give those rins first, right?

Yeah. I just looked up the IP rating scale, which is the scale in how you judge something's like tightness of against solids and liquid. Yep. I'm learning. So it's, so if it's an IP something three, because the first number in the IP rating is for like dust and solids. Yeah. So don't worry about that too much if you're looking at it. for something waterproof, it's the liquid protection,

the second digit you want. So an IP something four can stand splashing water from any direction. Okay. An IP5 can handle low-pressure water jets like a garden hose. Six can handle high-pressure water jets. Seven can handle immersion up to one metre for usually 30 minutes. Eight can handle immersion deeper than one meter. You want a nine, though, I think if you want full waterproofness.

The Satisfy Pro, Generation 3, according to Mighty, according to Mighty APE and AI Google Search has an IPX7 waterproof rating. Seven immersion up to one metre. That's suitable for a bath. Or a spa pool. In the bath.

It's good for a bath or a spa. Not the deep end of the 50 metre pool that they use for the high board diving. Yeah. Now someone has message in arguing on behalf of the Australian passports durability. One day opened the dishwasher

after a cycle went through and what was lying on the bottom of the cutlery drill was in Australian passport. Dried it out in the sunshine and got me across the ditch a month later. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. How did it end up in there? I'm sorry, dear listener that's texting.

We didn't ask for what have you put through the dishwasher. That is what we do next week. Yeah. Yeah, actually. So actually just turn in next week for what have you accidentally put through the dishwasher. I don't think many things other than dishes. No, neither. Like, how did a passport end up in the dishwasher?

That's my question. The way that it ended up in a washing machine makes sense in the pocket. Yeah. How are you getting your passport into the dishwasher? That feels drunk. Lovely Georgia is on holiday. She's on the goal. She'll be in, what's that more, Pacific Fair?

She'll be eyeing up some RMs, weren't she? For sure. See you, see you later. Actually, I'm going to have to stop you there. That's copyrighted. Suezy Kate's a very good friend of mine. Well, she's already sued me twice. So if you could maybe get her to drop her litigious action,

that would be great. Tell her, I'll review her five stars. Yeah. If she does the same for this podcast. Yeah. And then she tells all her friends. And if you're listening, maybe give it five stars as well. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley.
