The ZM Podcast Network. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. Thanks to McCafe, barista made coffee available from drive-thru and McDelivery at level 3 and also dine-in at level 2. Carwen from the social media desk joins us. She's got a little bit of a problem going on today.

Every nine minutes. It's a tech issue. Every nine minutes she's got the same tech issue and it is that. My phone alarm won't stop. So every nine minutes it goes off. Yeah. So on Friday, my phone screen just stopped responding. So I can't touch like, you know.

Oh yeah. What phone are you on? It's an iPhone 12. Oh wow. Yay, 12. Well, it's an iPhone 12. Oh, wow. Well, it's a work phone. Oh, right. Are they giving out 12s now?

Just for us. Just for the special people. Not me. I'm still on an 8. Megan's still got a button. Oh, sweetie. That's a work phone too, and I'm on an 8.

Yeah, it's good to know the pecking order is... Ridiculous. We're going to make sure that you guys look good on social. That's true. Good point. So this happened on Friday. All weekend you've had a phone that's screen doesn't work.

Yeah. Well, yes. So on Friday they managed to sort out an S for me to take home so I could still contact... What's an S? A phone that was released in like 2007. Okay, cool. Cool. And so that's been fine. I used it for my alarm this morning but when i

woke up to my normal alarm it was like echoing louder than usual and it seemed to be coming from somewhere else it was coming from my 12 um and i can't stop it the only way to turn it off is to snooze it because that's the side button yes oh no so every nine minutes it's going off it's probably going off right now and the producer's been did you hold it do you hold down the side button it turns it off if you hold it not just now you go you go up down and then hold and have you tried doing a hard reset i've reset it about 20 times at this point oh wow what about plugged it into a computer and did like a factory reset i mean you're not gonna know how to lose all your stuff but you could plug it in back it up and then my it knowledge doesn't go that far to be honest right what plugging a phone in put it in a soundproof box and forget about it yeah so the thing is the

uh mobile team here at nzma have told me to send it to them but i'm worried that the carrier is going to get very annoyed with it going on oh yeah we'll just put it in one of those it'll run into battery soon enough though right you know without a touchscreen maybe not i thought it would but it's still going strong can you just write on the courier package this will just keep alarming ignore this annoying noise could you wrap it in some kind of soundproof insulation in the package? I'm not sure where to find that, to be honest. I don't know where you get that from either.

I don't know either. No, that was... Yeah, well, we're out of ideas. Good luck with that. Good luck with that. I tried resetting. That was my idea, but if that's not... I mean, I can't help you with your iPhone 12 problems, you know?

Yeah, but I have a button now too. Oh my God, team button. Button, button house. Team one button. Yay. Thanks, Ash. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fleetspawn and Megan.

Happy Secret Sound Day. And welcome back to Level 3. Hamilton. Raglan. We missed you. Ngarawahia. We missed you. Come on board.

It was worth it for the memes yesterday. Sorry, Hamilton, but it was. I mean, yeah. You're not going to find much sympathy here. Mini Mia. Hamilton's always on the arse end of mini a meme but yesterday focused down on

but in all seriousness if you've got symptoms get a bloody test if you're not vaccinated get vaccinated broken record over and over yeah do it

I know that vaccination places snow absolutely inundated yesterday afternoon in Hamilton snowed under snowed under yeah

which is good so people you know getting tested it is good inundated yesterday afternoon in Hamilton. You're going to say snowed under. Snowed under, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Which is good. Yes. So people, you know, getting tested. It is good. Get it in. And yeah, get vaccinated. Just please, just bloody do it. Because we're over it.

We're over being locked up. But yeah, on some positive happy news, Secret Sound Day, it's the very first day, 7am. We will give you the first listen to the sound that will be stuck in our heads for what can only probably be weeks. One would imagine. I hope this time I hear it and in my mind I'm like, oh, I know what that is. When has that ever happened?

Never. I just hope today's different. So we'll reveal the cash amount How much is up for grabs initially And give you the first listen to that sound And the first guess to try and win your share of that $50,000 I imagine we'll be starting We normally start at $10,000 or $20,000 don't we?

Yep So we'll reveal everything with Soundcapper Owls at 7am Very soon on the show The top six is coming up Yeah I Do you know, have you decided? Nah Got a couple of things to Yeah at 7am very soon on the show. The top six is coming up. Yeah, I am. Do you know? Have you decided? Nah.

Got a couple of things to... Yeah. Okay. Some more, you know, workshopping to do on that one. Okay. It's one of those mornings, isn't it?

Workshop it. In a blue sky. You need a coffee. Blue sky, I need my coffee. You need your Macona, I think. You need a strong three teaspoon Macona. Alright, you get into that.

It's Monday morning. I might even get the big cup, the flamingo cup, and go four spoons. You deserve the flamingo cup. I think you do. All right, next on the show. One in eight people say Christmas is going to be very different this year. There is going to be some arguments. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Megan.

This was a survey that was done in America, but it's definitely happening here. There is going to be some tension at Christmas because one in eight Americans say they will not buy presents for people who have opposing COVID views. So as in they don't want a vaccine, then they're not going to buy them a present. Oh, this is what then what if the person that doesn't like COVID vaccines normally gives you a good present? Well, no, they can give you a present. You just won't give them one? Just tell them afterwards.

Yeah. When you get their present, you say, oh, this is, yeah, it's not happening this year. But I would just, if they're not vaccinated, I wouldn't want them to come, period. They already know they're not getting a present. There's going to be a bit of that this Christmas, isn't there? They say so.

Like arguments over whether you want to hang out with the unvaccinated. Get them. Oh, no, because you want it done pre-Christmas. I was going to say you could do like giving out presents and somebody could be Santa's helper for the day and when they sit on Santa's helper's knee, Santa's just like, Jack.

Vaccinated. I got you Pfizer for Christmas. Yeah, right. Mary Pfizer, bitch. Isolating six weeks. See you at the end of January. Not only the fact that like, you know, would you want to be around them, but also the fact that imagine just how are you going to avoid those conversations?

You're going to end up like having some sort of anti-fax argument during Christmas. This is real cute that you think we're all going to be able to be together at Christmas. Woo! I'm eating the whole turkey. I'm eating regardless. I don't care. I'm going to be very upset because I spent every single Christmas with my parents. Yeah. And I'm the only child to do so.

Because my sister did her OE and my brother lives overseas. I'm the only one that's been there every Christmas. So if you hung over, still a little bit buzzed, overseas. I'm the only one that's been there every Christmas. Hungover. Still a little bit buzzed. But I was there, baby. That's amazing, actually. Yeah. You are such a suck-up. I am. You're a kiss-ass. I'm an executor of the will. I know.

I'm the cutest. I'm the middle child. I'm the one that they definitely thought was going to end up in prison. And look at you now. And look at me now, baby! Alright, 13 past 6 Next on the show The Honeycomb Challenge If you have not yet seen Squid Game

I just finished episode 6 So I've got 7, 8, 9 to go 3 to go She's pretty harrowing, Sade was crying last night She's a dark and harrowing watch But there's one game That I've never heard of That's becoming quite popular

I've said it I'm six episodes into Squid Game now And I've said it And I'll say it again I can't believe it's the world's most popular TV show Shit's dark Like dark Yeah Like I can understand It's gripping It's gripping It's fantastically shot is the most popular TV show. Shit's dark. Like dark. Yeah.

But it's just, it's gripping. It's gripping. It's fantastically shot. It's really well done. Yeah. Everything about, every aspect of it

is really well done. But it's very dark. Yes. And it seems to be getting darker. You guys have both finished it. And it is weird because like at a time when the world

is quite a dark place. We needed more darkness? Yeah, you'd think that people would be the biggest show, right? Everyone's like, the new My Little Ponies movie is number one. I'd be like, I can understand why. People just needed ponies. But also like, I mean, it's pretty grim, but it can't be that bad. No one's coming to take you out if you fail a challenge.

Yeah, life. Well, one of the challenges in Squid Game is called the Honeycomb Challenge. And for those that don't know, people sign up to this game. Well, they don't really. To win money. So the Honeycomb Challenge is one of the challenges. It's where effectively

Hokey Pokey comes to you in a round dish. Kind of like what else comes in those sorts of containers? Shoe polish? Yeah, it's like a round tin. Yeah, a round tin. You take the lid off and it's like men's hair wax. Yeah, Dax wax. Dax wax tin with honeycomb in it with a shape pressed in it by hot wire.

So then the idea is you've got to get that shape out without cracking it. Now, it's randomly selected, but there's different shapes, and obviously they're harder. The triangle would probably be the easiest. Triangle or square because it's relatively easy. Straight sides. You've got to use the needle. Yeah, and you've got to use a needle to pick around it. Without cracking the shape.

You can crack the honeycomb around it. A star is also hard and probably the hardest one in the game, the umbrella. Yeah. Now, the minute I saw it, I was like, that's one you could do at home. And people are doing it. Cafes and everybody. Everybody's getting into it. Apparently in South Korea, commonly sold outside schools

and as a fundraiser. So this is South Korea's version of a cheese roll. Right. For you South Islanders or a $2 chocolate bar for everybody else. So yeah,

you've got to cut the shape out and now you can find out how to like make it online. It's hokey pokey, right? It's hokey pokey. Tripled flatniton. So many people have done it on TikTok

and then when you see real people trying to do it, you realise how hard it is. I want to give it a go. Yeah. Because also there's a time limit, so you can't just sit there forever. Yeah. You've got to get the shape out.

So you can just Google, yeah, if you saw that and you thought, oh, my kids would love to do that, but obviously without the death. The end game. The death at the end of it. I mean, maybe not. But, yeah, you can find out how to do it online. Keep them quiet for a while.

I was reading at the weekend that a man in Korea, he has the same number as one of the cards they were giving out. Phone number. Yeah, it's the same phone number. And he's been getting deluged. Well, I don't know because, you know, Americans, in USA in movies and TV shows, numbers normally start

with 555. And that's because no area code exists. It's not a sign. It's for movies and TV. Whereas I don't think other parts of the world do that. And so this poor guy has been getting calls asking for people if they can sign up to Squid Game. Also worth noting

if you've got children's, like I do, children's, that's two of them, Roblox, a really popular game. It's kind of like Minecraft. You can create whatever. The games from Squid Game have been recreated in Roblox. Wow.

So like hundreds of people start and then they slowly work themselves through a series of games because that's what, we've been sending the girls to their room. Yeah. Not because they're in trouble. We're like, go watch an episode of your show because me and mum want to watch this show

and this isn't for children. Oh, right. And then they were like, oh, Squid Game, that's on Roblox. We're like, have you played that? And they're like, no. And we're like like, oh, it's a good game. That's on Roblox. We're like, have you played that? And they're like, no. And we're like, yeah, don't. Fantastic. Good stuff.

Don't. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. News from Australia. And this is going to make you feel, well, it's just we can't travel. We can't leave the country. But a dog has managed to leave Australia with its owner, and it managed to fly business class on its birthday. In its own seat?

Yeah. Wow. So this was from Sydney to Europe via Singapore. It's an ex-racing greyhound. Oh, okay. So it's been rescued by its owner. Well, that's nice to see it being treated to the high life rather than just forgotten about.

Yes, it makes a change. So the owner was moving to Italy, and then I don't know if she said the dogs are like her companion or just maybe that there's nobody on these planes. So they were like, yeah, sure, bring your dog. And it got its own business class seat. It even had a celebration in flight with treats and a cake and there's photos of it.

Here it is here in a business class seat. I suppose the seats aren't in high demand, are they? No. What happens if it needs to go wheeze? Can't take it outside. Can't open the door and be like, go wheeze, come on, go wheeze. Bedtime now, go wheeze. Puppy pad? It'd have to be. Yeah, it's a lot of time. Can't open the door and be like, go Weas, come on, go Weas, bedtime now, go Weas. Puppy pad?

I don't know. It'd have to be. Yeah, gross. Or, yeah, yeah. God,

it just really annoys me that a dog can go travelling and we can't. Was it wearing a mask? No. Antivaxxer. Maybe. Antivaxxing dog.

ZM's Flesh Warner Megan. Clay ZM. A customer was very irate. This is in Iowa. He has been charged with threatening a war. No, actually the official charge is making a false report about an explosive or indecent device. Oh, this isn't another one. Did you read that story about the knitting store?

They're like getting abuse from people. No. Like a knitting store. They were like, stop throwing stuff at us and being mean to us. Why are they throwing things at the knitting lady? I don't know. Man. I think it's just COVID times and everyone's a bit grumpy

and things aren't in stock, so they're getting upset at staff. Don't do that. Yeah, so this man went to McDonald's and ordered a 30-piece chicken McNuggets. Okay. 30-pack. No, judge. I'd be struggling.

I reckon I could do 20. I think I've done a 20-pack when I've been overseas, but that was when I was quite drunk, and it was doable. So he received his nuggies and he obviously went home and realised that he hadn't got any dipping sauce. Oh, okay.

Check the bag. Always check. Always check the bag. Always check. Now, he called them and was like, I didn't get any dipping sauces. Right. And that's when they said,

okay, we'll come back and we can give you some sauces. He said, no, I'm going to blow up the store and punch you in the face. My dear. You just got to pump the brakes there, champ. That's... Zero to felony. Real quick. Yeah. You're not handling that well. Yeah.

The staff was very quick to send the number to, because they had caller quick to send the number to, because they had caller ID. Oh, right, okay, yeah. He has been charged with, yeah, making a false report about an explosive. So he didn't have serious intentions to do it.

Just very irate. On takeaways, when Auckland went to level three, takeaway spending jumped 600%. That came out over the weekend. 600%. Does it have stats on like compared to when we could actually go like pre? Because we were hitting it hard because we'd had

like nothing for ages. So it was just looked at electronic spending in the first week of level 3. So I'm guessing that was compared to like level 4. You opened the floodgates level three. So I'm guessing that was compared to like level four. You opened the floodgates. Yeah.

So spending was 25% below pre-COVID levels during the same week of 2019. All up. I know people were jonesing for it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Full jones. Full jones.

ZDM Splits, Ronan Megan. From the first class ZM Think Tank, this is the top six. Hello there and welcome to level three for parts of the Waikato. Not all of the Waikato. I would say Western Waikato, Hamilton, Raglan, Ngarawahia, Tekofota, sorry. Zoom in a little bit more. Yeah, pretty much down to just north of Kaffia. And across to, ooh, man, that's close to my parents' place.

So that's the boundary map, level three. You are now included. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome back. Welcome. So, you may have forgotten a few things about level three. So, these are the top six things you may have forgotten about level three.

Yep. Number six, level three sucks. But you're still allowed to walk up that hill you guys love so much. You know the one just out of Ngarawahia? Yeah. The Hakarimata. People are always honing up there. Just got up here

for sunrise. Good for the soul. It's a classic Instagram post. Oh, absolutely. Beautiful view. Haven't done it myself. Looks like a lot

of wooden steps. Number five on the list of the top six things you may have forgot about level three. Hamilton, you can still get takeaways

and I believe I just checked their website that includes Wong's Kitchen, Of the top six things you may have forgot about level three, Hamilton, you can still get takeaways. And I believe I just checked their website. That includes Wong's Kitchen. Some of the greatest goddamn fried chicken you're likely to put in your mouth hole. Support local and gobble up them delicious Wong's chicken bits. Number four on the list of the top six things you may have forgot about level three. Don't drink the river water. I think that's just a thing all the time. All levels. But it's always good to remind

everybody. All levels across the board. All level warning. Don't drink straight out of the river. Absolutely not. Number three on the list of the top six things you may have forgot about level three. Raglan. This one's for you. You can't charge your crystals to protect you against COVID for another 16 days. That's how far away the full moon

is. So here's a tip. Get vaccinated, and that'll keep you safe until you can charge your crystals. And then another four weeks after that, there'll be another full moon. Yeah. And then two weeks after that, you'll be right in the midst of it. I'd say six weeks after the initial injection. Maybe just get another injection because those crystals will be depleting their charge by then. Just to make sure.

Yeah. I mean, sure, use your crystals, but they actually work way better when you're vaccinated. Yeah. Radiates more omnipotent lunar energy. Yeah, that sounds right. It sounds right. Yeah, man. It sounds like you know what you're talking about.

Oh, yeah, man. I've done my research. Okay, that's all I needed. Oh, no, I was going to do my research, but then I decided to leave it to a field of medical professionals who had pumped thousands of hours into it, who had done clinical trials and stuff. Okay.

That's what I decided to do. Yeah, okay. Sounds legit. Yeah, because I'm a dumb-dumb. I'm a dumb-ass. I didn't even get school C, so what do you know? Number two on the list of the top six things you may have forgotten about level three, Waikato.

No matter how tough times get, those ducks at the Hamilton Lake are not for eating. But the swans are fair game. If you can catch them. That was like nasty. Alright, that one. Got the long neck,

but bloody delicious thigh roasted. Number one on the, neck, but... Bloody delicious thigh roasted. Number one on the... Yeah. That's why the Queen's... It's the Queen's meat of choice, isn't it? She owns all the meat and... Yeah, she owns all the swans. Yeah, in England.

Ah, but not here. Number one on the list of the top six things you may have forgot about level three. When all this is over, we'll go to Whangamata or the Mount and tell everyone to listen about how we did the hard yards. Is this what's doing you from Hamilton? You jump in whoever's car's got the most petrol,

and you make your way to a lovely white sand beach. You go to Raglan, but it bloody burns. You run into the car, the black sand, it burns, it burns. That is today's top six. ZM's $50,000 secret sound. Season 10. Well, well, well, here we are. Season 10.

Can you believe we have had 10 seasons? No. ZM's $50,000 secret sound. It's all thanks to Neon Watch TV series and movies handpicked by Kiwis, for Kiwis by Kiwis, on Neon. And we have, all this week, up for grabs, if you get

on here and guess the secret sound, a one-month Neon subscription. And Neon is just, it's so good. There's so many great shows on there. All the HBO stuff. Yeah. New season of Curb Your Enthusiasm is weeks away. I know.

Sixth session I'm looking forward to. Some great shows. So pretty excited to have Neon on board. And The Secret Sound. Shall we start? Let's start with Soundkeeper Owls who joins us. Good morning, Soundkeeper Owls. Good morning.

Today's the day. Now, you're at the current. Are you in mum's bed again? Yeah, I'mkeeper Owls. Good morning. Today's the day. Now, you're at the current. Are you in mum's bed again? Yeah, I'm on the floor now. I've given her the bed. Okay, good. She's kicked out of the bed already. The best internet's in mum's bedroom. Yes. Right next to the room.

I don't know who thought putting a Wi-Fi thing in the cupboard in her room was a good idea, but here we are. Yeah. All right. Well, let's take a listen to the secret sound. You did on, was it Friday, release a clue? I did. I did, I did. It was Level 3 Made Me. Level 3 Made Me.

So bear that in mind when you hear the secret sound for Season 10. This is the very first listen. Someone's shutting the door. That's what you'd like. Any ideas? I mean. Your mum's wardrobe door. Yeah, that was my first guess.

Yeah, when you shut a door and the deadbolt clicks. Or like drawers that are going in and out or some kind of wheelie mechanical thing. Are we thinking woody? Yeah, there's definitely a woody sound. It's a woody regeneration. Last season, the umbrella, that threw us because we were all like, it's mechanical.

And technically it was, but it wasn't as metal as we thought, was it? Yeah. Hmm. Yeah, this is the bit where I have to be quiet and just let you do the guessing. Oh, sorry. Okay, well, do we have a dollar amount first up? Yeah, I think we're starting with 10K. Just straight off the bat. 10K? $1,000. Just straight off the bat. $10,000.

Yeah, that's the jackpot at the moment. Okay, all right. So first up, we welcome Billy. Good morning, Billy. Hello. Now this is your first ever time guessing Secret Sound ever. Yep. Okay, well you've just had a listen to the sound. I know it's the very first guess and you've just heard it. But does that kind of bring anything to mind? I suppose so. I'm going to go with closing the dishwasher. Closing the dishwasher. Right.

I do have one of them at home, so it could definitely have been made in level three. Well, that's helpful. And I actually quite like the name Billy. I've got a cat and a dog I really like named Billy, and Billy Eilish is great, but I'm not here to judge your name. Wait, you've got a cat and a dog both called Billy? My boyfriend's dog's Billy. My cat's Billy. It's great. Well you don't claim his dog yet. How long have you been going out? Nine months. Oh that's a cute dog. Anyway I'm not here to talk about the name Billy as much as I love it. I'm here to say whether you do win that 10k for secret sound

but closing a dishwasher is not the secret sound. I'm sorry, Billy. It's okay. All right. Hey, Billy, we do have for you, though, a month's subscription to Neon. Get a Kiwi streaming service. Get great value. Get it on Neon. Well done.

Unfortunately, that is not the secret sound, and we'll be back at 8 o'clock with another shot. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. It is time for the impossible phone-in topic. Now, this happened in New Zealand, so it's not impossible, but it's highly improbable. Okay, well, when we've

done the impossible phone-in topic in the past, we've managed, it's every time it's worked, we've managed to find someone. We even found people who had been hit by lightning. That's right. That was wild. Even found people that had made an emergency landing not on a runway. That's the one that blew my mind.

Yeah. Well, this one is the story of a man called Grant who was a truck driver and he left his job. Yeah. Well, this one is the story of a man called Grant who was a truck driver and he left his job in November 2018. And where did you say this happened? The Manawatu. Okay. The Manawatu is where the company was based. Yeah.

But that's the thing about being a truck driver. You move around, don't you? You're all over the place. So he worked there for nearly a year, finished in November 2018, and it wasn't until July 2019, so eight months later, that they found out they'd never, like, finished the paperwork to cease his employment, so they'd still been paying him.

Oh, free money. Yeah. So they paid him for 35 weeks, not obviously full wages because he wasn't accruing hours or whatever, but it came to the total of $27,000. Wow. 35 weeks, $27,000. So they wrote to him in January 2020 and said,

hey, look, there's been a mistake. Let's try to work out how you can pay us back. And then he was just like, no. He just didn't reply to them, didn't communicate with them. And then he sent one email in February 2021 that was like, oh, I'm very disappointed with you guys. For wanting the money back. Yeah, yeah. Right.

So now he's got one month to pay it back. There's been a ruling. There's been a ruling. He's spent the money, hasn't he? Well, you would, wouldn't you? I would. That's a lot of money to pay back in one month. I know.

Because you'd see it coming in and you're like, oh, their fault. So the impossible phone of today, have you ever been paid by a place that you didn't work? Like you left and they kept paying you. Yeah. Or there was some sort of weird mistake and you started getting paid by somebody. There was the odd story out of, was it Italy that did this?

Like people would just be in these jobs, they'd leave, but they'd still be getting paid. And it was like a big problem. Oh, yeah. That was like government? Yeah, government workers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like they'd still be getting paid. And it was like a big problem. Oh, yeah. That was like government? Yeah. Government workers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like they just got lost in the system. They'd leave, but still get the money. So many thousands of employees. Yeah. That one would leave, but exactly like this, the paperwork wouldn't be filed to stop them getting paid and they just keep getting paid. There's no such thing as free money. It always comes back to bite you in the bum.

They'll always find you. Like you'd- I'd put the money aside. How long are you going to give it? Well, yeah, you'd always be looking over your shoulder if you spend that money. I'd be like, when are they coming? I'd put it all on my sharesies account.

And double it. I'd make some short term high risk investments. And then when they came for it, I'd be like, yeah, sure, you can have it. I've already made my money with it. I made a little bit of money. And then, old bloody poodle of Wall Street over here. Yeah, what's wrong? I was thinking, what's not a wolf?

A poodle. A poodle. No, I'm more of a pug of Wall Street. Yeah, poodles are smart. No, they're not. Oh, are they not? So darn. We want to see, this is the impossible phone-in topic.

Is there anybody listening? I mean, we may not get anyone. But I mean, it's happened to old Graham. Yeah. In the Manawatu. Grant. Grant, sorry. Oh, you're close.

I knew it started with a G. Almost interchangeable. I've never met a Grant that couldn't be a Graham. Yeah. Or a Graham that couldn't be a Grant. Like Graham Robertson, Deputy Prime Minister. Yeah, yeah, yeah. See, he could easily be a Graham, couldn't he a Graham. Yeah. Or a Graham that couldn't be a Graham. Like Graham Robertson, Deputy Prime Minister. Yeah, yeah, yeah. See, he could easily be a Graham, couldn't he?

Yeah, or New Zealand billionaire Grant Hart. Sure. 0800-DARLS-IT-M-9696. It's the impossible phone-in topic. Have you ever been paid by a place you did not work at? Yeah, maybe you finished working and they kept paying you. You were like, free money. Dream.

The impossible phone-in topic today. Have you ever been paid by a place you don't work? Surely not. You wouldn't think so. But it has happened. A New Zealand man has a month to pay back $27,000 to his employer after he left and they kept paying him for like seven, eight months. What was he thinking? They were always going to find out, right?

Well, yeah, accountants tend to have an eye out for these things. You'd think, though, with accountants in the accounts department, you'd think it'd be very rare. So that's what the phone-in topic is today, the impossible phone-in topic. Have you ever been paid? Not even close to impossible. Really? Have you ever been paid by a place you don't work?

Not even close to impossible. Really? No. Wow, all this free money and I'm not getting any of it. I once received random payments from the Department of Money in Samoa. I have absolutely no connection to Samoa. Do they have a Department of Money? I guess it's like their finance department.

But why not call it the Department of Finance? You call it the Department of Finance. You don't call it the Department of Money. Well, that's what it is. Sounds very straightforward. Please tell me they call it the Department of Money. So it's lots of convoluted names. It's just the Department of Money.

No, the Ministry of Finance. Oh, okay. The Government of Sam It's just the Department of Money? No, the Ministry of Finance. Oh, okay. The Government of Samoa. I like Department of Money. No, because for a moment I was like, that would be a great name for it. If you got something from the Samoan Department of Money, I'd be like, very like, what's going to happen now? Yeah.

What happens next? But it was $1,000. And I waited, and I haven't heard anything. So I assume this is my $1,000. Yeah, What happens next? But it was $1,000 and I waited and I haven't heard anything. So I assume this is my $1,000. Yeah, that's yours. Yeah. I worked in the wine industry in Italy for four months. Once I left, they kept paying me for another four months. Obviously, I didn't say anything. It was free money.

Italians, you know, the home of the mafia. Very understanding. Very understanding when it comes to money. Yeah, I'll find you. Anonymous has called us. Anonymous, you got some free money. Yes, I did.

I won't name the name or the bank because I don't want to get into trouble. But pretty much what happened is I went and signed up with a bank after coming back from overseas and given my name and details. And, yep, sure enough, put my signature, gave me the F-plus card. I was working at the time, so I was carrying along and, you know, using a card frequently.

And every now and then I'd check my bank account and realise, well, why isn't it decreasing? It's sort of staying on a similar amount. Yeah. account and realized well why isn't it decreasing it's sort of staying on a similar amount yeah um and then uh went to uh went to a bank back to the bank a few months later and just said hey look something's going wrong the card is not showing up on any of my bank details and the lady at the bank account had given me someone else signed me up to someone else's bank account from overseas so i have been using their money i think i spent up to about 5k um so then so then um then i had all these bank

managers contact me saying well we need money back and i got some advice from some people i knew and they said that you don't have to pay a cent back. And, yeah, to this day, I haven't paid a single cent back to this money. And I've pretty much got 5K free. Do you wish you'd spent more? Yeah, probably, yeah. Maybe when I bought a car or something. Because for the other person whose money you were spending,

that's on the bank, isn't it? Yeah. That's what I said to them right at the start. I said, well, as long as what's the other person whose money you were spending, that's on the bank, isn't it? Yeah. They can pay them. So that's what I said to them right at the start. I said, well, as long as what the other person, and they ridiculously said, well, actually, they're covered. Our insurance covers them. So as soon as they said that, I said, well, I'm sorry, but that's your screw-up. You're not getting the cent.

Yes. And I do feel sorry for the banks. They're doing it so tough. I know. They don't make enough money. You know, like they're really struggling. Billions of dollars a quarter. They're struggling.

Billions of dollars a quarter. They are doing it tough. Anonymous. Little bank. Thank you for your call. Some amazing messages coming in. Wow. A friend of mine went on leave without pay for 12 months.

Yeah. He got paid the entire 12 months. Also came back with 25 days annual leave accrued. This was a government agency. And just got away with it. Yeah. But they never come for it. No.

Well, that's our money, guys. We can't work in there, I guess. That's our taxpayer money. Yeah. We should say something. Nah. David, you got some free money. Hey, guys.

Yeah, good morning. Yeah, I was a high school student. And do you remember a few years ago when all the teachers weren't getting paid? Yeah. Yes. Yeah, I got paid. And I was 17 years old. And, yeah, my teachers weren't.

You got NOVA paid? Yeah, I got NOVA paid. But you were a student. No idea. I had a part-time job. And for some reason, I was getting overpaid. Whose wages were you getting? Probably my teacher's.

What was it sort of like equating to? How much money did you get? It was about a couple thousand dollars, but I guess when you're 16, 17 years old, it's a lot of money. Yeah, and you never had to pay that back. They never came after you. No, I never did. Oh, free money.

I guess I didn't even know who they were getting paid. Loose. Maybe there's a teacher out there with the same name as you or like an IRD number that's one off. Oh, I actually never got an email about it. Good man. Spend that money. Do you always feel like you're looking over your shoulder though?

No, no. It was so long ago. I think so many people didn't get paid and then people like me did get paid. So I think, to be honest, they kind of forgot about it. Yeah, right, you've moved on. I don't blame you. All right, David, thanks for your call.

Some other text messages. I was dairy farming on a working holiday when I first got to New Zealand. I never looked at my account when I finished. They say they never look at their accounts unless it declines. And they're like, well, where'd my money go? Yeah. So three months after I left, my old boss called me and said,

I forgot to stop the direct debit. I've been paying you for three months and you haven't milked any cows. No word whether or not they just blocked that number and went on with life. I don't know. Well, yeah. I left my last job and they paid me for two months. Still can't discuss, but told them I paid off debt with the money. That's the legal loophole to get away, apparently, when I left my last job.

Really? Yeah. You're like, oh, I've used the money to pay debt. So, obviously, I haven't purchased anything that couldn't be sold to give you the money back. Wow. When I was 16, my first job overpaid me $800. I just quit. I ran to the ATM as fast as I could or withdrew it.

I got called by the bank to ask for it back and I said I can't. I can't. I can't. I took myself and my friend for a cut and colour, bought my mum a washing machine. Baycorp asked for the money back but I was too young to be with Baycorp so they took my mum to Baycorp instead. Oh, and they took her washing machine. Oh, and it was back to the river to

smash the dirty clothes on rocks. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. The CEO of Air New Zealand, Greg Foran has told us that all international travellers, all international passengers, will need to be fully vaccinated

from the 1st of February next year to travel on Air New Zealand internationally. They are adopting a wait-and-see strategy for domestic passengers, but they're going to wait and see. So a poll, I saw Breakfast running a poll this morning, TB1's Breakfast. They said, do you think domestic travellers should be vaccinated too?

80% said yes. Good. And have they done that in Australia? Domestic? Because I know Qantas came out and said all international travellers will have to be vaccinated, which isn't a surprise because most countries, even before the pandemic, most countries you need a lot of shots to go to.

Like your yellow fever if you were going to some places in South America. Your dengue? Yep. Getting back into like Aussie, you needed a yellow fever certificate if you'd been anywhere in like the Caribbean or South America. Yeah, so this isn't a new thing. No. It's just a new disease.

Yeah. A new virus. He did say people 18 and younger and those who can't take the vaccine for medical reasons will be exempt. So even though 12 plus can get the vaccine, people 18 and under are exempt. Right.

But yeah, they're waiting and see. But did say that they had a really positive response from staff and from customers and they said that the customers said that Paramount, safety was Paramount. What a tease for international travel. Yeah.

Feb 1st next year. Cool. We're just all imagining where we'd go. Is that silence? Just like an island? No, I was not counting my chickens before I had them. Yeah, I was just counting mine. Yeah.

That was what the cool was. Cool. Yeah. All right. ZM's Fleshborn and Megan. Play ZM. Sadly, it's estimated that roughly 40% of people who have undertaken DIY have more failures than they do successes.

You'd expect, though, right? Because people would be like failures than they do successes. You'd expect though, right? Because people will be like, I can do it. That's 40% of people have tried one thing and they're like, that didn't go well. And then they try another DIY and they're like, not for me either. They try a third one, they might get that.

But then the fourth one's going to be another failure because they've had more failures than they've had successes. There would be some tradies turning up to some DIY disasters that are just like, what have you done? Why did you? Do you? You can't be an electrician. I don't even try to do...

Oh, electrician. No one's doing that. Oh, impossible. Phone at second for the morning. We need an electrician. Come to a house where someone has decided to be their own electrician. I had some friends at the weekend wire their own hated towel railer and I was like, you do know you could burn your house down. And you

won't be covered by a church. That's the thing. Initially you might be like, oh, sweet as but you don't know that you're not going to burn the house down when you're not at home. Like, you might have done something very wrong. That's the thing. I don't trust myself to wire in anything. You get the electrician in. Yeah.

Even just building. I don't have the skills. I know that. Yeah. But some people don't know that, do they? No. And it takes them five hours of trial and error and getting things wrong before quitting and calling a professional for help as well.

Because you love a tinker. Yeah, I love a tinker. Have you ever had to you love a tinker. Yeah, I love a tinker. Have you ever had to give up and call in the... I don't think I would do anything that would require a professional. I took apart the pool pump. Couldn't put that back together. But then it turns out it was broken anyway. Right, okay. I'm not going to count that as a loss. Is that the story you're But then it turns out it was broken anyway. Right, okay.

I'm not going to count that as a loss. Is that the story you're sticking with? Yeah. It was broken anyway. So it was broken because you couldn't get it back together? It was broken, that's why I took it apart. Ah, right, okay. But then you couldn't get it back. So you shouldn't have been to-do-ing with that. Executive intern Anya at the weekend

was doing some DIY painting. How did that go? It was pretty good. Because you asked us for all the tips. I was like, oh, this is not going to end well. No, it's painting, though. Have you ever met a painter? Painting is really hard. I love painting.

I'm just saying, shut yourself in a room with that much fumes for that long. And then on your break break have a ciggy. They know about airflow and aerating. Sometimes you can't have airflow though, otherwise it'll just turn your job. People that have done their own DIY painting and I see it, I'm like, oh, you should

have got a professional. And they've got like stripes. Oh God, you can see the stripes. I'm like, get a professional. Do another layer. Give it a light sand. Get another layer on there. You laughed. Have you got stripes? Just don't look too closely, all right? Leave your glasses on.

Oh, I did like the photo you sent us was from like right back. Yeah, that's because there was crap everywhere. We finished a very small part of the kitchen when we have like the rest of the lounge and kind of living room area to do. What did you paint the walls with? A brush or a roller?

Well, I cut in with a brush and then I did a mini roller around that and then I did the big boy roller in the big areas. The thing is, you start real fastidious and you're real good and then towards the end you put more and more paint on the roller just to get it done and that's when you end up with big

stripes. Dribbles. Yeah, and I was pretty meticulous with it on, because we started on Friday afternoon, and I was kind of, like, trying to cut in underneath, like, where the Wi-Fi thing is on the wall and do all that. Did you not take that off? Nah, because we didn't want to lose Wi-Fi,

because we'd started Squid Game, and we didn't want to take that risk. You can't Squid Game while you're painting. Oh, absolutely not. Yeah, that was the trait at the end. But I was kind of leaning underneath, trying to get underneath the little trim bits and stuff, and I had a ponytail,

and I dipped the entire thing in an eight-letter bottle of primer. That's like a brush, isn't it? Yeah. Because that's all brushes are, just hair. Tightly packed hair. Yeah. What about, no, but what you do is you take the shell off everything, light switches, and then you just slop it all over and then just put that thing back on.

I know, but not for Wi-Fi. We make exceptions for Wi-Fi. You know you can take the router off the wall, eh? Look, where were you on Friday, okay, with all these great ideas? Oh, my God. Now you're going to take the router off the wall. There's going to be a big brown patch. That sounds like a problem that the next owner is going to have to deal with.

Just never take the router off. Next man's job. Wow. So you shouldn't have called the, you didn't need to call the professionals, or you should? I feel like maybe the trims could have done with a quick once over from a professional. We've masked as well as we could,

but yeah, look, just don't look too closely, and it's absolutely fine. Anyone with 20-20 vision will not be welcome at our home. Right. You know these two are going to do a full-on inspection. They will not be welcome at our home. You run a blind finger across it, don't you? And you're like, bump, bump, bump.

You can feel it. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. So we've got another dog. Weren't you just telling producer Anya not to get a dog? Yeah, I was telling her not to get a dog. But do as I say, not do it. Not as I do. I know your favourite thing to be called is a hypocrite.

Yeah. Oh, no, this wasn't my... And a psycho. You psycho hypocrite. Triggered. Triggered. Honestly, it's psycho. You psycho hypocrite. Triggered. Triggered. Honestly, it's psycho. You have so many dogs psycho.

What kind of psycho has that many animals? Yeah, well, we do have a lot of animals. I like outdoor animals, not indoor ones. Big fan of outdoor animals. Big fan of outdoor animals. Big fan of outdoor animals. But I just get steamrolled all the time. This was the latest in the steamrolling. But then I also got loopholed.

So, you know I love a loophole. And who am I to stand in the way of a loophole? Loopholes. You got... Loopholed. Steamrolled. Steamrolled. Steamrolled.

Steamrolled, not steamholed. Getting steamholed is completely different, and it's not something appropriate to talk about at three minutes to eight. That's actually a Gwyneth Paltrow thing. Is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Steam your hole. Steamholed.

Don't do that. But, yeah, so the loophole was I said we're not buying another dog, but then technically this dog was an adoption dog, which falls outside of the purchasing loophole. Right. But you've already got two dogs. Yeah, Lulu's very old. Not long for this world.

Very, what do you call it when you don't move much? Sedentary. Sedentary, yeah. Sedentary. Deaf. It's knocking. Imminent. Not deaf.

I said deaf. Oh, it's deaf. She can't hear. I was like, it's imminent. Old dog deafness where you can't be like, touch them because they like freak out. You've got to blow on the dog. You ever have one of those old dogs? You've got to blow on the dog because they freak out if you're like, come on, you touch them.

They freak out. They think they're being attacked. Oh, God. Yeah, she's old. So Ralph, our other dog. Ralph was your buffer dog, right? So, like, you get a buffer. No, Ralph was a steamroll.

I was steamrolled on that. I said, we're not getting a dog. And then Sade's mum bought the dog for Indy for her birthday. So technically you didn't buy a dog. I got steamrolled on that decision. And then this one, yeah, I got loopholed. So I've been steamrolled, I've been loopholed. I'm looking forward to whatever is the third in this trilogy of somehow getting up another animal.

At least it's cute and it's a rescue dog. Yeah, yeah. It's a rehomed golden retriever. God, they're cute. It was like when you, it was only on the chained dog Dogs rehoming page for four hours because they said they were inundated with people applying for Richie. He is Richie. His full name is Richie McCaw.

Yes, I know. Unfortunately, he's four. He's going to be five in March. So it seems to me a little bit too late to rename him. You can't change his name, no. It's not even Richie McCore. It's not even Richie McCore. It's Richie McCore. He's fully named

after all-black Richie McCore. You can change his last name because he's only responding to Richie. Well, I was thinking, yeah, I could take some ideas on what Richie would actually name him after. I was thinking Spice World actor Richard E. Grant. Yes. British legendary actor Richard E. Grant. Or. British legendary actor Richard E. Grant.

We'll just go with just Richie. Yeah, but he's around. He dribbles. Sometimes he gets these big dribble icicles down his mouth. Why did he need to be rehomed? He looks like so cute and perfect. He's active. As golden retrievers are, he's active,

and they just didn't have the time for him. And he was just like spending his time inside or in the backyard. Yeah, not playing. But man, he loves to play. Tell you what, he's got some energy. Is he your favourite dog? I do feel bad about how quickly I've bonded with this dog compared to the other dogs.

But then because we didn't have them as a puppy and I had to deal with all the dumb puppy stuff. Like the digging the holes and the eating things and the chewing things. But then because we didn't have them as a puppy and I had to deal with all the dumb puppy stuff like the digging the holes and the eating things and the chewing things. So I'm like, I'm balancing the love for the dog

with the bad parts of the dog but this dog didn't do any of that annoying puppy stuff so I've just got, yeah, I don't know. Right.

Yeah. So what you're saying is he's my favourite. ZDM's Fletchmore and Megan. ZM's $50chborn and Megan. ZM's $50,000 Secret Sound. Season 10. Well, we're back.

Is that right? Oh, okay. Well, Soundkeeper Owls. Hello. Anna, did you think about the clue at all when you came to guess this today? Just that it was made in level, and I was thinking, well, the first thing everyone did was went and get takeaways. Yeah, Level 3 made me do it.

Yeah. That does. That's a really good guess. Yeah, I've seen it online as well. But now I don't feel like, no. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, don't't feel like no. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, don't you doubt yourself. She hasn't said anything yet.

And a woman was walking through the park, a state park in Arkansas. Would that be like a national park here? Or would it be like a domain? State park. Yeah, it'd be like a national park. I guess so. It's a bit more than a park. A bit more'd be like a national park. It's a... I guess so.

It's a bit more than a park. A bit more than a park on the playground. A bit more than a domain. Well, this is a crater of diamonds state park. So people go there specifically to have like a... Like a cheeky wee mine. A cheeky wee mine? No, it's like if you were going panning for gold.

You know? Right. Amateurs can go there and do like a... And try to find a... Mine makes it sound full on, but like you just have like a look around. It's the world's only diamond bearing site accessible to the public.

Yeah. So I must have had a vent down. I would love to go there and just like try my luck because that's what everyone does. And I guarantee so many people would go and not have this experience. So this woman and her husband were there, had a cheeky wee mine, 40 minutes. It wasn't even that long.

And she stumbled upon a 4.38 carat yellow diamond, the biggest found in the park this year. So they haven't determined. It looks like a lemonade color is how they described it and they haven't determined if it's yellow or a light fancy yellow but she's allowed to keep that. Yeah. $15,000 $15,500 worth. American dollars.

For this diamond that she stumbled upon on the ground. She's just allowed to keep it. I hate her. It's so weird. Like if we found some... Finders keepers. What if I found that in a national park? Would I get to keep that? Yeah.

Here? I'd keep... Like if I found a kiwi, would I be allowed to keep that? No, I think a kiwi is quite different. Yeah, that's a little bit different. Is it? Yeah.

Well, you don't need... I found it. You don't need to dig. You don't need to dig. You don't need to go mine for a kiwi. How would the cat get on with a kiwi? Is it different though? Because it's not like you can go into a national park

and pull out a fern that you like and take it home. Oh, can't you? I don't. Is that written down somewhere or is that just kind of one of those unspoken rules? It's a thing. So you plant that you like and yank it out? No.

Okay, okay. Plant. What about kauri seedlings? Definitely not. But that's what this park's for, kind of. But then if you... Oh, wow. Who owns this park?

Why aren't they in there? Yeah. Yeah, this is America after all. You would imagine if anything's worth any value, someone's got it wrapped up pretty tight. Yeah. So, yeah, she's found this four-carat diamond. And I don't suppose that anyone's ever stumbled upon a diamond in New Zealand.

But I'd like to talk about the most expensive thing that you have found. God, I found a $5 note once on the street. Yeah, that's pretty good stuff. And that's about as good as it gets to me. I've never stumbled across something that's worth heaps of money. I reckon I might have found a $20 note I found a $50 once That was wild If you see money on the street, are you just like

where's the hidden camera show? Or when you bend down to pick it up, is it going to scoot away from you? Because someone's tied a piece of nylon I'm not chasing it, if it moves I'm not chasing it I won't be made a fool of But I mean, finding like a diamond or I don't know, finding something expensive.

That would be cool. Because if you hand it in to the police, there's a few months, say, that you've got for someone to claim it. Is it three months? Yeah, and then I believe you get to keep it. They'll call you and say, come on down. Come on. That's like cleaning your conscience.

You tried. Yeah, exactly. And then you get to keep it guilt free. Or whether or not you found something expensive and you just kept it, because why not? Yeah. You deserve some luck. All right.

I mean, that human thought pattern of, like, the reason so many people would go to this diamond place is that, oh, I'm different to everybody. I'm going to find one. And then she does, which just encourages everybody. Well, she could do it. I can definitely do it. That's exactly what's going on in my mind.

Yeah. And it's why people go bust when they go to Alaska or whatever to hunt gold. Yeah. Every time I watch that show, I'm like, I could drive a digger like that. Give me a few days to learn digger driving

and then I could be the part of that gold mining crew. So, all right. We want to take your calls. 0800 DARS at M. You can text as well, 9696. What is the most expensive thing you've ever found? Did you keep it? And did you keep it?

Yeah, that's what I want to know. So we're talking about the most expensive thing you've ever found. There is an amateur diamond miner who found a four carat yellow diamond in a crater of Diamonds Park in America. So we don't want those stories where you've gone diamond mining because that doesn't happen. But the times when you've stumbled across something, you've just found something expensive.

Yeah. Did you keep it? Ooh. We asked on Instagram and had some replies from people there. Someone said, I bought a $2.50 pearl necklace at an op shop. Yeah. I took it to get valued and they put the value at $600. How come it was $2.50?

They don't think it was real pearls. I don't think they know. They don't know. They didn't know. It's like sometimes when you see like a brand at an op shop, some brand clothing, and you're like, ha, they didn't know this is expensive. You're like, $2.50. Ah, deal.

And then you put it on. That's the dream. Got somebody else's stretch mark, like where their boobs sat, and you're like, oh. Somebody else. Stop buying girls' hoodies. I won't be told what to do by you. Fair call.

Or the lady at the op shop that keeps telling me to stop buying girls hoodies. I found a pair of AirPods at the beach in the case, somebody said. So there you go. Someone who still kept those in the case

and they still lost them. Backing up my thoughts on those are the dumbest thing you can spend your money on because you must lose them all the time. Yeah, people do. But can you not ping?

Do they come up and you find my service? Nah, surely not. Your AirPods? No, I don't know. Oh, okay. They haven't put that on AirPods because then people buy more.

Yeah. Oh, you're true. They want you to buy another pair. Somebody else found a ring with a huge dark blue sapphire in it and 32 small diamonds. I got it valued at $1,500. Wow.

After they tried to find the owner? Yeah. It doesn't sound like it. So hard. Rachel, what did you find? I found about $300 to $400 in cash outside of swimming pools. And what did you do? Did you just keep it?

No. Assuming it was, I did hand it in. I don't trust anybody that's carrying that much cash these days. Yeah. Did you go back to the police and check that it had got claimed? No, I actually just handed it into the swimming pool. Oh, see, I would have handed it into the police because then... If it's not claimed, you get it.

Yeah, because otherwise I reckon that pool put that into the woods at Christmas party. Yeah, totally. Or chlorine. You're just thinking of things Pauls have to buy? Yeah. Chlorine or the floaty balls that go on the rope that separate the lanes. Yeah. I might have needed a couple of those.

Those don't last forever because they're in the sun and chlorine, so that would deteriorate the plastic. Brilliant. All right, Rachel. Flutterboards? You get a lot of flutterboards. Well, you need a lot of flutterboards. Anonymous, what did you find in public?

Well, so I was digging in the garden, and lo and behold, we hit this glass jar, and when we pulled it up, it was full of money. How much? So it was about $2,500 in there. And of course, I was at work. It was actually my dad. And he rings me and he goes, I found a pot of money.

And we're like, yeah, dad, what have you been doing? You know, home alone, retired. Are you high? Yeah, I get home and he's got the string up in the lounge and it's got all this money hanging off it because it was damp and smelled musty. He was drying it. Yeah, drying it.

Oh, wow. So we were just newly married and went to Australia on it, thought it was great. And then months later found another one. I've just been digging up the whole backyard. We did have thoughts about buying an excavator just to dig the place up but we never got there.

I'd get a metal detector. Does the jar have a metal detector. Oh, yeah. Does the jar have like a metal lid? Is it one of those preserving jars? It had like an old rusty lid thing on it, but yeah, I mean, it obviously had been there for years. You still have that property? No. Oh.

We sold it. Oh, God, I would have dug up the... Are you kidding me? I would have dug up the whole garden. Yeah, I would have dug around the whole garden. Are you kidding me? I would have dug up the whole garden. Give me the address. Some of it was really old. Yeah. And so we actually got it, and we renovated the house.

We put some in the wall. So whoever, yes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They'll be like, what is this? And it's some old pounds and some old New Zealand money. Oh, my God. We're going to get ourselves some overalls and a highlighted vest and we're going to say we're from Watercare or Powerboard. We're going to dig up their holes.

Bingo, we're going to be like, there's a thing here. We need to get to. There could be multiple things. Anonymous 6, he call some messages in. I just want to go on the treasure hunt now. I know. I found a Hamilton aviation watch at the beach. What is a Hamilton?

Is it expensive? They Googled it and it was worth $3,000. Whoa. What does that even mean? That's how much something's worth when you... Huh? Oh, yeah, they have their really expensive watches. Is it not, mate?

They just look like a dad watch. It's an American company. I just assumed it was like from Hamilton. Hamilton. No, some of these are like worth thousands of dollars. Yeah, good for them. Oh, yeah, goodness. But go to Thailand.

You'll get yourself a nice one of those for about $80. Won't work forever. You can't do that anymore, can you? I bought an old school hat box from the tip shop, so the dump shop, for $3. Month later, looking in the wee pocket inside the box, and I found gold jewelry, a pearl ring, and some solid gold earrings.

Valued them $650 for the ring, earrings $900. Oh, wow. Still have them and wear them all the time. That's amazing. Yeah. Free money.

Some people have found like actual treasure. That's so cool. Yeah, I know. Those are, that's, now I want to go to an op shop and just shake everything.

See, I'm one of those people in my head. I could go down a very dangerous path of being a gold digger. Where you marry a rich old man. Yes. And then he funds my treasure hunting. And he holds Preen up and I say no. I think I don't want to be negative towards your dreams,

but I think you've kind of missed that window where you're, you know, like. Please finish the sentence. Yes, I dare you to. Because I've got a knife. Finish your sentence. I'm too what?

Today's fact of the day is about alcohol made from fruit. Okay. What is alcohol made from apples called? Cider. Aha. What is alcohol made from apples called? Cider.

Aha. What is alcohol made from pears called? Cider. Incorrect! You fools! You have run into my trap! Peater. Peary is what it's called. Ah. Peary. Peary is

the name of pear cider. You should not call it pear cider as peary is its proper term. Peri. Peri. P-E-R-R-Y. It's basically the same as cider, but it's made from pears. And people who make peri are very particular about you calling it peri. Oh, I bet they are.

Not calling it pear cider. Same sort of process. But no, it is called peri. Oh, they must hate it when it's like apple cider, but they've put a pear flavour in it. And they're like, that's not pear cider. The Peri aficionados would absolutely hate the Ruth. But then I thought, do other fruit-based alcohols have their own names, but we're not calling them the right one?

Because all I'm saying is that boysenberry one, eh? Is it boysenberry cider? Yeah, that's just. That's just boysenberry cider. So I looked's just... That's just boysenberry cider. So I looked it up and I couldn't find many other ones. Cherries. I don't know why cherries popped into my head. Oh, yeah.

I was thinking of booze made from cherries. Brandy is apparently your go-to for cherries. Is it made from cherries? Not all the time, but if you're going to have a cherry flavoured anything, generally it's a brandy. It falls into the brandy, the double distillation of the cherries. Might get into brandy. I was thinking of getting into brandy. It falls into the brandy, the double distillation of the cherries. Might get into brandy. I was thinking of getting into brandy.

You're like, oh, I'm making a fruit cake and I'm pissing on my cooking chair and brandy. And he'll be like, oh, shit. The old ladies get me going. You are getting more and more like Helen Mirren every day.

It's very hot for her. One can only hope. The absolute pinnacle. The pinnacle of the older gal. So today's fact of the day is that if you were making cider from pears, it's not called cider. It's called peri. Fact of the day, day, day, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.

The door chime at the dairy to let the dairy owner know that you've walked through the door. Good old school bell one there. A whistling kettle. I can't whistle. That was pretty good though because whistling kettles can't always whistle either. The most annoying noise you can make.

Oh yeah, that's a high-pitched squeal. That is annoying. Someone eating with their mouth open. I'm sorry to all the people out there. That's all right. And how you would toot your car horn at the lights when the lights go green but the car in front of you hasn't moved? Friendly.

Friendly. Friendly. Friendly. Well done. Wow, that was good. That was quick. That was pretty quick. That wasly. Well done. Wow, that was good. That was quick. That was pretty quick. That was quick.

The most annoying noise you can make right now. That was so, that was the weirdest noise. Someone eating with their mouth open. Yeah, I sound like they're eating chippies. And how you would toot your car horn at the lights when the car in front of you hasn't... Wait. When your car in front of you hasn't moved

but the lights have gone green. Yep. Good. I've done it. Wow, that is going gonna be tight that is gonna be very close Caitlin we've got Caitlin on with Henry now we have time to five seconds difference and our winner today with 41 seconds Is Caitlin Congratulations Well done Caitlin I think also Henry I think you deserve a special commendation For the annoying noise

And I think to finish I think we should hear your annoying noise again Sounds like a new metal band from 2002. ZDM, Splashborn and Megan. So if you are re-watching shows, and these are specifically repetitive and relational programs such as Friends and the Big Bang Theory. Right.

There'll be a reason, and specifically at the moment, and we know that lots of people are re-watching shows. It's because it, and this is from a psychologist, it can reduce anxiety amongst people. So anxiety is in the fact that humans' minds alarm system indicating that something is wrong. And usually the result of pent up and unprocessed feelings, which can be why people are feeling, you know, really anxious lately. So if you're watching something you can depend on

and you know the outcome every time, it's at the heart of human development apparently. Huh. Because you know that there's comfort in that. You know that. In that old show. You know, right, okay. You can control the circumstances aren't going to change.

Even grown-ups get anxious. It says here, and they have childlike feelings of fear and worry, and they can be soothed by repetition, which is why a lot of times when they say you're feeling anxious, you recite numbers or colours or things that you know and can repeat over and over because it can soothe your

anxious emotions or friends and these kind of... The shows that you grew up watching and you love you can go back to them. Have the same effect. Because we've often wondered why it's just constantly being streamed. This is why.

And even before streaming, why TV networks would just run repeats over and over again. You can just turn it on and be like, oh. Yeah. And the same show at the same time. All the time. All the time. Do you think as well, like if you know the characters, you're not like seeing a lot of your friends at the moment.

If you know the characters, you can feel like you're catching up with mates. They need to start doing this with episodes of The Chase but not the familiarity of it just so you know the answers and you can seem real smart. I know, that would be great, wouldn't it? Have you ever done that thing where you catch the 12 o'clock one and then you get to, oh no, the other way around. You watch the 12 o'clock one

because sometimes it was the one from the night before. Just so you can show off knowing the answers. No, I don't think I've gone to that extreme. Tipping point's the same. You're like, no, you've chosen the wrong. They're not going to get many off that truck. Man, that's how sad our lives are at the moment. Yep.

And level three. Well, all this week, giving every guess it gets on air with ZM's $50,000 secret sound, a month's Neon subscription. So your chance to binge away. You've just got to get through. This is the secret sound. And your next shot, the jackpot $10,000, is coming up with Georgia at 11.
