Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the Zidium podcast network.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's Fleachborn and Haley's a little bit of pod.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Welcome to a little bit of pod, so Fletch and Hailey.
When you're into the bathroom, which is discussing.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
I'm entitled to a bathroom break, we didn't say you weren't.
I could be dealing with feminine shoes and you are
condemning me, we would know we were a private moment.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
We would we were chatting about something when you're when
you were out of.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
The room, I was going to fill you.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
In taking my break that I am entitled to and
I will be taking that every day, kids up.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Got no issue with that, you know what.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
I'm glad you're give me the soap box. I do.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Ever, do you know what if we're going to do this, Okay,
we've learned something. There's a new device.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Before that, we were talking about number plates and how
the black number plates with the white riding look cooler
than the white number plates of the black.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Rider because you're getting a ranger and I see it,
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
White, and then we're I thought they were banned and
we're talking about Then there was in New Zealand there
was a while where it was a black number.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
Plate with silver writing, and those have been silver's gone.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
I think it was a reflective issue and when the
flash went off on speed cameras, you wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
See it if it was night and car lights and
kind of. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
I love brass because you know, I almost I.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Love brass fitting on your mint vintage car.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Yeah, and it's like black with just brass screwed.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
So we worked out that the new ones are black
with white riding. And I see when we're talking about
number plates that are hard to read because you know,
if you ever see a number plate that's like zero
zero zero zero O O zero zero, Yeah, it's to
confuse you, right, so you can't report it because you
can't remember what order it was. Yeah, one one one,
I I L one.

Speaker 5 (01:48):
When you drive straight over them, they actually don't get
a chance to look at the plate.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Remember it had them hard.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
Maybe their nickname was just zero. We're doing umplates and
I see the flitch.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
The other day I was out and I saw a
car with a leaf on the number plate.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
What do you mean a leaf like a maple leaf?

Speaker 1 (02:10):
No, no, well like the New Zealand version of a
maple leaf like an oak tree is leaf.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
That's a green leaf?

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Was it stuck brown because it's like winter?

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Right, And that's what I thought. Oh, there's a leaf
stuck on their number plate. How like? So I grabbed
it to pull it off.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
It was a fucking sticker made to look like a
leaf so that you could not identify even if you
took a photo if you're a deniability, you know.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
And this is what I said.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
And I said, that's kind of stupid because you would
be pulled up by the cops and then you.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Would be done.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
I did not put that on there.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
You could maybe you could say that, but they could
take you.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
There'd be some kind of obstruction of plate.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Even if you've got a really dirty plate, they can like, well,
they'll pull you over and tell you to clean the plate,
but they can like find you if you've got a
plate that makes it look like you're actively trying.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
It's a two it's a two hundred dollars fine. It's
an offense to obscure or render a vehicle's registration plate.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
And eligible eligible.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
Yeah, and so that would be two eligible eligible, So
that would be a two hundred dollars fine.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
And so we're talking about that.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
And then shinning pops in with there's a thing online
the magnetic and with the remote room, and we were like,
what are you talking about? Has she sent us through
this video of the scene. You can buy online two videos.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
You take your number plate off and behind it you
put like a middle magnet bracket.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah, some kind of electronic device.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Then you mount your number plate to that, and then
you put a leaf on it.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
And then you're driving in your car and if you.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Get pulled over by the police, you push a button
on a remote in your car and it disengages the
magnet behind the plate that's been powered. I guess it
gets powered by the light that usually lights the mag
lights the plate.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yeah, and the leaf falls off.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
It is very believable. Leaf. It's not a very because
that's when I said the stickle looked like a leaf.

Speaker 5 (04:00):
Yeah, you would want to glue an actual leaf onto
the magnet. I will say, we're not encouraging this because
a light. We've just said it's a two hundred dollars fine,
But you hear about those whether there was that guy
in America there was all famous toll bridge and he
had one of those James Bond transport. Yeah, and it
would flip the number plate around so it would go

(04:20):
from the fake one when he went through the toll bridge,
when he got off the toll bridge, flick it round
to his actual plate.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Genius. So you must just be able to buy these
on teams. It's insane.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Don't well, don't do it.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
And we're not encouraging that. But I mean, god, people
have thought of literally everything.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah, I know, God, we just want to get away
with it all. Actually, no, I think that I feel
there was a natural a y I investigation after we
pretty much put a cold, cold case to be well,
I don't even know if we're going to include this,
but Flitch encouraged me to run a rid light this morning.

Speaker 5 (04:56):
No I did, but I said to Haliott's only like
four at four forty six A in no cars, no
other cars lights.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
It doesn't count.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
So it didn't. And now I'm like a criminal.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
And I'm because this one's gonna really light camera.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
No no, no, no, no, none of the like you're
tucked back street, just.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
That little side street.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
Don't worry about it. It was just like just thats
a cyclist in them, yeah, any of it.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
And you know cyclists don't have number plates do.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
They also don't have earbags or side cushions.
