Show Notes On this week's podcast, Dan and Kris tackle Wizards & Warriors III: Kuros - Visions of Power for the letter W in the Alphabet Soup-er Series. Does this oddball game cap off the Wizards & Warriors series in style, or is it more “interesting” than “good”? In Week Old News, a Battletoads secret is at long last uncovered, the SAG AFTRA strike is finally officially over, and GameStop is trying to sell a… stapler? Then, in The Checkpoint, Dan and Kris share their thoughts on Ironheart, and why Kris thinks Dan is certifiably insane for his interpretation of the show's ending, Kris plays more Mario KArt, and more!

A man who lost his parents and sister in the Erebus disaster supports a new proposal to build the long awaited national monument in Christchurch David Allan told Checkpoint in 2023 he was optimistic a memorial would be finished by the end of last year, 45 years since the tragedy. But more than two years on there's not even a decision on the location, let alone construction of the monument. There was pushback on locations in Auckland and the Ministry for Culture and Heritage has now proposed three potenital sites in Christchurch and asked families for feedback. David Allan spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

Show Notes On this week's podcast, Dan and Kris open the SAG BAG to answer your burning questions. Once again, many had very little to do with video games, and a lot to do with Dan's sex life. Great job, everyone! In Week Old News, we discover a 1981 reference in Donkey Kong Bananza, Chuck E. Cheese goes after adults, and OneXSugar is super weird. Oh, and Microsoft laid off a metric ton of people even though their profits were doing just fine. Sigh. Then, in The Checkpoint, well, nothing. They didn't do the checkpoint because they spent a few hours answering the SAG BAG. Enjoy!

A North Shore woman says she's stressed out and being kept awake at night after getting an eight hundred dollar bill from Watercare, because its smart meter clapped out. The latest bill claims the Browns Bay couple used an average of 4342 litres of water per day. Added to the couples other catch up bill, they now owe Watercare more than 12 hundred dollars. Following a Checkpoint investigation Watercare revealed thirteen thousand of its smart meters have malfunctioned, and need to be replaced. As a consequence customers have been charged incorrectly and after getting zero use bills are now facing big catch up accounts. Watercare customer Lizzie spoke to Lisa Owen.

Checkpoint has run numerous stories about the cost of the pantry staple, with the price climbing as high as $18 for a tub of semi-soft butter.

The leader of a union representing junior doctors has said she is dreading the day when a hospital worker's killed at work. Since a staff member was held up at gunpoint outside Palmerston North Hospital in April, Checkpoint has heard from many health workers who don't feel safe on the job. Health NZ has said it is continuously improving security and taking on feedback. But unions said the problem is still a big one and one even wants to see security guards with beefed up powers.

AP's Charles Sheehan reports on a new rule on shoe removal when flying.

On this episode, Vince speaks with Alex Szinnyev, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and security professional with 13 years of experience in military service, government contracting, executive protection, and weapons instruction. In July, Alex is scheduled to face trial for human smuggling charges after a transport operation he believed was affiliated with a church turned out to involve undocumented migrants. Alex shares his account of what happened—how he was contacted, what he was told, and why he believed the operation was legitimate. He says those who recruited him claimed to be moving refugees and even provided church references and documentation. According to Alex, he later learned that some of the individuals involved in organizing the transport had previously worked under Operation Lone Star—the controversial Texas state initiative aimed at curbing illegal immigration. He discusses the confusion this created, the legal jeopardy he's now facing, and the personal and professional fallout, including the loss of his career, security clearance, and the impact on his family and future.

In this compelling episode, I sit down with integrative medicine pioneer Dr. Jeffrey Dach, MD, to explore his holistic, science-backed approach to fighting cancer. Drawing from his powerful book The Cancer Toolkit, Dr. Dach explains the core mechanisms behind cancer development and progression, and the multifaceted toolkit he uses to address it, from off-label pharmaceuticals and checkpoint inhibitors, to nutritional protocols, repurposed drugs, and targeted supplements. We also break down the three key cellular pathways that go awry in cancer, how to support the body's natural defenses, and why addressing the root cause—not just the tumor—is essential for long-term remission and recovery.  Topics We Cover: Dr. Dach's integrative and functional approach to cancer treatment Key drivers of cancer: inflammation, angiogenesis, metabolic dysfunction The most promising off-label drugs (e.g., metformin, mebendazole, statins) Why the Warburg effect matters—and how to target it Supplements with strong anti-cancer evidence Checkpoint inhibitors and immune activation Building a multi-modal protocol for better outcomes Patient empowerment and the future of cancer care  COMING SOON: Don't miss Part 2 of this interview, where we dive into Dr. Dach's newest book Bioidentical Hormones 101, and his trailblazing protocols for restoring hormonal health safely and naturally. Whether you're a practitioner, patient, or someone interested in cancer prevention, this episode delivers a deep dive into truly transformative insights. Connect with Dr Jeffrey: Website: Jeffreydachmd.com The Cancer Toolkit: Jeffreydachmd.com/books BIO: Special Guest - Dr. Jeffrey Dach Jeffrey Dach (pronounced DASH) was originally board certified in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology and worked in the hospital setting for 25 years.

Then, in The Checkpoint, Dan goes on a home remodeling spree, while Kris spends way too much time cleaning out his garage.

Some former students now living overseas have told Checkpoint they are too scared to come home because they could be arrested for being behind in payments, with heavy penalties adding up. Students loans are interest free unless people head off shore for more than 6 months. In April the interest rate went up to 4.9% and the late payment interest rate for all borrowers is 8.9%. IRD emailed more than three and half thousand student loan defaulters earlier this year warning them they are being monitored, and could face additional enforcement including arrest at the border. One expert doesnt think IRD's tactics are working. Tax specialist Terry Baucher spoke to Lisa Owen.

The amount of money Health NZ is spending on locum doctors to plug staff shortages is increasing and could reach $200 million this year. Checkpoint has obtained figures that show the spend on fill-ins is rising fast. A frontline doctor and the senior doctors union have said it is frustrating to see the increasing pot for temporary workers, when officials are saying money is so tight. Jimmy Ellingham reports.

Stats NZ figures show as at March last year house insurance was up almost 25 %, contents insurance up about 28% and car insurance up almost 23% compared to the previous year.

The latest Stats NZ figures show in the past 12 months food prices have gone up 4.4% - the highest increase since December 2023.

The watchdog that settles disputes about essential services like electricity and gas believes it should be mandatory for water suppliers to sign up to the scheme. Utilities Disputes is an independent disputes resolution service; its compulsory for gas and electricity companies and broadband installers to be part of the scheme. But it's voluntary for water suppliers. It comes after Checkpoint revealed 13,000 Watercare smart meters are not working properly, leaving some customers struggling to pay big catch-up bills and frustrated by Watercare's service. Watercare is a voluntary member of Utilities Disputes, which means it has to refer any complaints to the service, customers can't make complaints directly. Utilities Disputes Commissioner Neil Mallon spoke to Lisa Owen.

A music licensing organisation is chasing up hundreds of businesses a week asking them to pay-up for the tunes they are using, so that artists get what they are owed. A Hawkes Bay florist told Checkpoint she was called by One Music to see if she was paying licence fees, which she was not. Despite only listening to the radio on her phone out the back of her shop, the music licensing organisation told her to buy a licence or turn the music off. Onemusic Director, Greer Davies spoke to Lisa Owen.
