From the Zadium Podcast Network.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's Fleechborn and Hayley's a little bit of pod Welcome
to a little Bit of Pod.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Now producer Shannon. I see her with my eyes. I
can see her physically right now, and yet apparently she
doesn't exist. She's been raised from the world.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Now I think she's back. Now are you back or
currently raised?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
My god, she's there there.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Wow, the best of my knowledge, I'm back. What happened?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Where did you go?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Well? Okay, so you know how I had that issue
with my passport a while ago, so refresh.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I went on a cruise around New Zealand.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
And then they scanned my passport saying I went to
Australia despite the fact I've never been to Australia. The
IRD called me saying I was doing tax fraud because
I'd left the country and I wasn't paying my student loan.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
It was a whole thing. I think it got sorted.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah, yeah, just and for those that also don't know,
that was because her boyfriend was a magician on the cruise.
She didn't take a cruise around the country. She's only ever.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Lived in Yes, good point. So my passport's about to expire.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
And it's good to just have a passport right and
later this year Carwhen and I are going to Australia
for Harry Styles, so I need a passbook because it's expiring.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
So I thought, this is what adults do. I'm going
to figure this out.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
This is.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Planning, because you're not mean to travel with less than
six months.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Ago, and Australia you can do three.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Carhen's nervous, so I'm going to do it a fresher.
She already has to babysit me getting to Australia. I
don't think we need to deal with passports. So I
go I google how to get a passport and it's
and it gave me all these steps. And the first
thing I had to do was verify my real me.
I'm real So I go in there and it says
do you have an account? And I said, we'll probably
(01:47):
because I've had a passport. And I go in and
it says your identity expired and it says that my
real me and my whole like identity in New Zealand governments,
it's gone.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Course, yes, wild I mean you don't exist because.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
You didn't verified, you didn't kind of keep yourself alive.
You've got to kind of keep proving that you're real.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
In your mind.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Recently with a face of my you know, put on
my face and take another one of my passports. I
logged in for a bit.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Well the last time I used any of this I
was seventeen. So I'm wondering if it's because it's my
first time as an adult, because maybe I don't know.
But anyway, so I was like expired, and I was like, well,
I guess I am did I don't know?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Like also like time for text braud?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
You don't have to pay text right if you did?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
And I was like, well, can we get rid of
the student loan? Like how far are we going with this?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Shave? But off right?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, they actually do. If when you die, you don't
have to pay your student loan back. No, it's not
like your families to pay back. They write it off,
and they write it off. Actually a great plan when
you finish uni.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Die, maybe yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe fake the death
about and then steal someone else's identity. That's a great idea,
right yeah, and then just don't.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Vote because they'll figure that out. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Well yeah, the Department of Internal Affairs said like, you're gone,
and I said, okay, well I'm here hello.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
And so then I had to do this whole verification thing.
I had to do like a face thing.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
And at that point I was wearing glasses for the
day and I was like, oh, well because because I
wear contact lenses. And I was like do they know
I wear glasses? Well, they don't even know exists and
so and then I had to I went on this
bit of a spiral mentally of just like what if
I didn't exist? And then I was like does Chris.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Stopped?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
It was just like weird to think, like my country
doesn't even care about me.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I just want to say you were more than Edmund
