Michael began telling listeners he was left with the task of bringing Martha's high-end clothing over with him. Which sounds like an easy task, don't you think? Think again.
After staying in a hotel room prior to his flight, Michael hung Martha's luxury clothes up, thinking it would avoid damaging them in a suitcase.

"Coming off an hour's sleep, I checked the room, I zipped up the bags and I left," he said in the podcast, which you can listen to in the video above.
It more than 30 hours later when Martha asked for her clothes that Michael realised that his suitcases were a little lighter.
"First suitcase opened, not there. Second suitcase, opened... also not there," he said.
"That is the moment my heart started to beat out of my chest. And I thought, 'I've left the high-end clothes, the most expensive clothing that Martha has in a hotel room, in Sydney'.
"This could be upwards of $20,000 worth of clothing."
It wasn't an easy process getting the lost clothes overseas. Instagram
Luckily the couple managed to track down the lost clothes and had Martha's mum, Mary, send the clothes to Italy.
"But it got stuck in customs for 3 weeks. Once it finally got released, we weren't in Florence anymore so it couldn't be delivered," Michael wrote on his Instagram story.
Their only option was to travel from Turkey to Florence to pick them up themselves.
After a 13 hour journey, Michael and Martha tracked down the lost clothes. Instagram
Michael documented their 13-hour journey on his Instagram story, including a flight to Rome and train ride to Florence. In the end the reality stars managed to successfully track down the lost items.
Michael and Martha are currently travelling around Europe together after deciding to up and leave Australia with no set return date.
The pair have kept fans up-to-date with their travels, posting several picturesque snaps to Instagram. Their latest destination was Paris, France.
