There won't be enough time. That's some Criss Angel mind freak action. Yes, isn't it? And what do you want to tell, because a lot of podcast listeners, international. Hey, poddos. And they might not know who you are. Poddo sounds a bit like

pedos for models okay all right let's probably avoid that one let's just call them podcast listeners podcast listeners who am i i'm a woman okay i'm a childless woman which is which is why i'm covering megan ah i just thought that's a weird way to identify yourself.

The 17th of December. For those that finish on Friday. Yay. Yay. Yay. Megan's doing a finger count. Eight days. Eight days till Christmas.

Oh, because it's a Friday So it would have just been Seven plus one It's good Yep The answer was right It doesn't matter How you get there

Have you got a stain On your collar Have I Yeah Or is that the light Yeah Have you spilt some tea Oh my god

Nan spilt some tea How did I get it All the way up there It's on your white blazer. See, that's running when you wear a white blazer. That's why I can't wear white T-shirts. That and your dark nipples. They're very dark.

My tiny, dark nipples. Far apart nipples. Yes. Far apart. Okay, well, I'm glad it's only two minutes past six and we've established that my nipples are small. And dark. And dark and far apart.

Fantastic. Thank you. Why do I come to work some days? Like the moons of Jupiter. Fantastic. Small, dark and far apart. Coming up on the show, Megan, you've got a list of the top earning celebrities just to make us all feel bad. For 2020.

Yeah, this is the Forbes list. And I think maybe Forbes and Kylie Jenner have settled their beef because she's on it. Oh, okay. No surprises. She's earned a lot in 2020. She lied and said she was a billionaire. Or she gave them fake receipts or something. Something like that.

Is that what the story goes? That's what they say. Right, okay. Falsified data. Right. The top six is coming up, Vaughn. Yep. A lady has a Kmart tattoo and she says it's because she's addicted and she loves it.

Tattoos or Kmart? The rest of us, including their children, were like, what about me? Oh, yeah. Well, if it's good enough to get a Kmart tattoo, I've got the top six other retail tattoos you should get. Oh, okay. And who should get them? Okay. Yeah. All right, it's coming up in the top six other retail tattoos you should get. Oh, okay. And who should get them? Okay. Yeah.

Alright, it's coming up in the top six next. So Facebook's working on something new. Okay. Behind the scenes. Is it advertising you something before

you even think of it? No. But I'd say that's five years away. Oh. 18 months tops. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast, ZM. So Facebook's working on something new.

It's called Super. And apparently, according to anonymous sources, it's being tested at Facebook HQ at the moment before it's being rolled out. And we talked earlier in the week about Cameo, which is the website or app that lets you pay celebrities. Yeah, and A-list through to D-list celebrities lets you pay celebrities. Yeah. And A-list through to D-list celebrities,

you pay them different amounts and they give you a shout out, a video message, whatever you ask for. Because remember, Lindsay Lohan was on 50% Special. Yeah. And she was half price. And that was real sad. She was from $400 to $200. That's a bargain, really.

And the guy that made the most money on Cameo was the guy from The Office who made a million dollars. This year. And he was pretty cheap. Wasn't he like $100 for a video message? Yeah, $180 or something like that. Yeah, so he must have just sat down and just cranked them. So apparently in 2019, Cameo was valued at $300 million

because they took 25% of their cut. Yeah, they took 25% cut. Yeah, they take 25% cut. Well, Facebook want in on this. So Super will let creators, entrepreneurs, and celebrities host live interactive video events and viewers can tip. So I don't know, maybe like Tom Cruise could be like, I'll take my shirt off if you tip.

I don't know why I said Tom Cruise. But isn't there stars at the moment? Have you seen stars on Facebook? They try to get it going, I think, for like pages you follow that you like. You could spend your own money to buy stars. Right. And then during live events

or even just during like a video that they put up, you could give them stars. Right. And then they could cash that in for... Well, it says, with Super, viewers can tip creators by buying them digital gifts or pay to appear alongside a creator during the live stream to ask a question.

So I'm imagining like a Zoom. So your box pops up next to whoever the celebrity is. Right. Oh, but that's rolling the dice. Yeah. And then apparently you can even ask them a question and take a selfie. So I don't know how you'd take it. How do you take a selfie?

Like a Zoom selfie, like you're next to them or I don't know how that works. And also creators will be able to offer merchandise and sell other products along the live stream. So I'm imagining if they were endorsing like a skincare cream or something, that could be like, sort of be like you're watching infomercials at two in the morning. It just feels when you're exchanging your legal tender for a specific currency in a specific place,

it always just feels like the strip club model. Yeah, right. You know, like you go into a strip club and you buy the strip club dollars and that's what you do because then someone's taken a cut. Are you saying that you might leave this Facebook drunk and you've forgotten to spend your Facebook money? Yeah, yeah.

Your stripper dollars. And then you get home and it's in your pocket. And you can't spend it. And you're in big trouble. Yeah. Because you just said you were going for a late night kebab with the lads. Sure. Right.

So when is it coming? Testing at the moment. So rolling out, I'm imagining probably next year if it works. But yeah, look forward to that. And how quickly it will turn to filth. Yeah, pretty much. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Forbes have released their 2020 highest paid celebrities.

There is a list of 10 I've got and there's only one female on there. Okay. I did say that Kylie Jenner was on there. So, yeah, it's Kylie Jenner. Giving that away, okay. But yeah, that's quite a feat. Like, the whole top 10 is males.

Okay. Apart from Kylie. So, I'll start at 10. 87 million. This is just earned this year. This is not net worth. Okay. 87 million is Dwayne Johnson.

LeBron James, 82 million. Howard Stern comes in at number eight. 90 million. Neymar is 95 million. Tyler Perry, 97. Lionel Messi, 104 million. Howard Stern comes in at number eight. 90 million. Neymar is 95 million. Tyler Perry, 97. Lionel Messi, 104 million. The top four, Cristiano Ronaldo. One of the most followed people on Instagram.

Yep. You forget about that. The footballer. $105 million in 2020. So, so far a lot of footballers and a lot of sports people. Sports people. Okay. Yeah.

Number three is Roger Federer. $106 million in 2020. That's because he didn't get COVID. Yeah. Novak Djokovic, eh? COVID deny there for a while. That's right. I forgot about that party, didn't he? Yeah. And he organised those international tournaments

and stuff when lockdown was supposed to be happening. Yeah. And then he got it, didn't he? When that happens. Number two, Kanye West, $170 million in 2020. Shoes. Got to be the shoes. So I had a look into it because did he release his album this year? But then didn't do great things.

He signed a couple of deals. So one of them was with Adidas. He signed a couple of deals. So one of them was with Adidas. He signed a deal with them. He also signed a deal with another retailer to sell his clothing. He signed a deal with Gap. Oh, that's 100% that. It's purely all his merch and clothing and stuff.

Yep. So he's number two, $170 million. Those shoes are ugly. You know, recently I've purchased some shoes. I know you do. A lot of people like her shoes. Yuck. Have you seen how much they cost?

Yeah. They're over $100, so it rules you out. They don't look like they're going to last $100. Have you seen his slides? Those big cushiony slipper slides? They look like a crock. I'm not down for it. Yeah.

I'm not down for it, especially with how much they are. And then number one, remember number two, Kanye West, $170 million. Yep. $590 million Kylie Jenner. Whoa. Okay, she's got to be a billionaire soon, right? How is she not?

$700 million apparently. But 500 of it was from the last year. Yeah, so remember she sold Kylie Cosmetics and she sold it for $600 million. They said she got 540 mil before tax. Yep. And estimate her net wealth to be $700 million. Is she still getting like a kickback like per year?

Okay, good. She still has the shares in it, but she's not the head honcho. No musicians in that list because they haven't been able to work.

Everyone in that list has been able to work this year. Like sports people at least have been able to play basketball for some of the year. Because you get

whoever's touring, right? You can work with Adele or Ed Sheeran. Yeah, they're on a five-year deal. Do you know what? I reckon Ed Sheeran will be okay.

And if he didn't save some of that money from last year, he's learnt the hard way. Great news. Airlines are putting on capacity for the, well, the expected opening of the Trans-Tasman bubble. And they're selling flights end of March. All the airlines. So that's when people are thinking, well, it could be all go.

So you can buy them now for the end of March? Apparently, yeah. So Qantas loaded dozens of flights per week from March 28 onto its site. And, yeah, apparently, E New Zealand, Virgin Australia as well. So, end of March into April, which is, when's Easter next year? I feel like that's a born question.

Would you back yourself? Third full moon. Because you love Easter. Isn't that how you know when Easter is? Isn't it the third full moon of the year? Yeah, that's great to know, but when is the third full moon? Well, you tell me. You go to that moon festival every month on the full moon of the year. Yeah, that's great to know, but when is the third full moon? Well, you tell me. You go to that moon festival every month on the full moon. Yeah.

Kiss the ground on that. Okay, Google. Easter 2021. Fourth of April. Easter Sunday is the fourth of April. Okay. Well, there you go. So, yeah, I mean,

would you back yourself now to book some flights to Australia? That's a good question for you because you're a desperado. Every time we talk about the bubble this year, every time we get excited about it, what happens? I don't want to jinx it. I don't think we should bubble with Australia.

Who do you want to give the bubble with? The islands. Yeah, yeah. They're a trustworthy lover. Australia has been doing God knows what over there. Behind our backs. Lying criminals is what the Australians are. I don't think we should bubble with Australia.

Right. Maybe like a business bubble. Yeah, okay. Yep. So people can get over and do business. Okay, one island bubbles with Australia and one island bubbles with the Pacific Islands. Right. But we can't bubble with each other.

Imagine that. Like you couldn't go from North to East Island. Then you'd just go to one of the islands and then go to Australia. No, you're not allowed. Oh, okay. It's there in the rule book. You'd get yourself chucked in COVID prison with that sort of highfalutin. Well, if you're backing yourself,

I don't know how much the flights are. I'd imagine they're not cheap. But, yeah, you can start booking from the end of March. For Aussie. What a tease. Yeah, the long tease. And that could all be taken away. Remember? Yeah. We've talked to people Just say remember. Remember.

Remember. Remember our days. Health advice from a four year old. Remember our days. You're trying to wash your hands after you go to the toilet. Bumble has released a bunch of stats for 2020, how we're using it, and also the best ways to use it.

They've got some tips. Okay. So for the bio, filling out the About Me section in the profile definitely increases your chances of matching. But everyone does that, right? Don't they? No, not really.

Because you're just like, I don't know, what do I say about myself? What would you say? Because you've never used a dating app, have you? Yeah, that's something when people want you to introduce yourself, you're like, my name's Megan. I like stuff. Movies. Photos don't do me justice.

Is it? You have to meet me in real life to get a better picture. Cameras don't seem to catch me. Should I be offended? I don't know. I don't know either. It felt like it was a burn, but then when I see it, I don't know. I don't know either. It felt like it was a burn, but then

when I see it, I was like, maybe that's not a burn. Maybe it's not. Honestly, swipe right and just see in person, please. See what's up. Roll the dice. Yeah, roll the dice, Megan. Oh my god. So yeah, filling out about me is very important. And also, interesting to know that

people who have verified accounts with the blue tick, they receive more matches than those who don't. How do you get a blue tick? How do you verify? Verify yourself. You go to settings

and you ask to be verified. And I think you take a photo. You have to send them like a passport photo. No, you just take a selfie of you. Do you? Do you have to send a selfie? you have to verify that it's you?

No, wait, wait But you're talking about Instagram Oh, yeah What are you talking about? You're talking about dating apps Well, Megan, this segment is about dating apps It's not a way for you to Skype that you've got a blue tick and we don't on the gram Did you see how she just crowbarred that in there?

Yeah What does a verified count make you on Bumble? Also, can you stop commenting on my Instagram posts saying stuff like whatever and then you're like, oh, I've got a blue tick because it just shows up like a big beacon. Yeah, yeah. It always goes at the top. Have you noticed she started doing that, like commenting on your posts just to be seen with a blue tick? I'm sorry, I'm commenting on your Spawn posts so you get better.

No, you're commenting to show off your blue tick. Okay. Don't be bitter because you don't have one. I'm not bitter. I'm just saying you're getting too big

for your boots. It's like walking into the Les Mills spa with your towel off. You've got a big schlong. Well, if you've got it, flaunt it. No, this is a public space.

You're supposed to wait until you get into the same room to drop the towel. The sign says, Megan, leave your knickers on, okay? Sometimes if you leave the knickers on, it could look even bigger too. Sometimes your undies are your friend. You don't even have a Les Mills membership. How do you know this? I think you're going to say you don't even have a big penis.

I know that's what I was going to say. It's all right when I say it about myself. I only say it so other people don't back me up. Yeah, okay. There isn't a bad time to get on Bumble, but the most active day is a Sunday. Right. So everyone's had the weekend and no luck going on a Sunday.

Or they're in bed and there's nothing else to do. Peak time is 7 to 11pm on any given day. Right, okay. So I guess just all day on Sunday, but yeah, late night. Right. It's getting late. Yeah. Do you want top three emojis that people used in New Zealand?

Is the eggplant one of them? No. Boo. Male and female. Just the smiley face, cry laugh face for both of them. But in the top three for dudes was the New Zealand flag. Oh yeah. If they know the top three emojis

break down by country and gender they've definitely got a hard drive with all of your dick pics on them. Hey, like 100% they'll have an algorithm going through being like, oh yep, oh there's

another one. Oh, I know what that is. Yep. Put it in this folder. 100% label it recipes. I would never send a naughty pic on an app. If you were. You're like asking for someone to be like.

Well, what do you send it on? You just send it on like. Like an iMessage. Yeah. It's still going through some of the servers, isn't it? If you worked at Bumble and there was a folder, DPs. No, I wouldn't do that. On your lunch break, would you ever look?

That's breaching people's privacy. No, but the people don't know. I have it as my screensaver slideshow. The minute my computer's been inactive for a minute. Why are you just sitting there going, yes? No. Yes. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.

The podcast. ZM. From the majestic ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six. Hello there. An Australian woman named Crystal decided to get a tattoo of Kmart on her leg. She put the photos of her, what is described as bizarre ink, on a Facebook group called Kmart Hacks and Roasts as a tribute to her lifelong Kmart addiction. Did she get roasted?

She said, I know I'm going to get bombarded by negative Nancys, but this happened today and I don't regret it and I won't regret it. How big is the tattoo on her leg? Sizeable. Is it coloured or is it... Yes. Red K, blue mart. Like K Mart.

But they're not like super definitive lines. It looks like the K is filled... I'll show you this photo. The K is filled in too much at the top for my liking. Oh, yeah. No, yeah. They've messed it up. Yeah.

There's not enough gap there, is there? Yeah. Well, much like K Mart, she took the cheap route on that tattoo and... You can find it, Tal. You can tell. But yeah, people are like, oh, I like Kmart too, but no. So I've got the top six other brand tattoos you can get

and who could get them. Okay. Number six on the list is Mitre 10 Mega. Okay. You were going to get a Bunnings tattoo, but then Mitre 10 Mega offered you 15% off and air points with your tattoo. So you went there. So you went there.

So you went there instead. Of course, why wouldn't you? Our number five on the list of the top six other brand tattoos you could get and who to get them. F45. Oh, okay. Basically, if I said those three words and your ears pricked up and you had an urge to post a screen cap of a heart rate monitor online, you should probably get that tattoo. Yup.

And it's small too. Yeah, okay. You might be able to change it into something. Yup. And it's small too. Yeah. Okay. You might be able to change it into something else later. I don't know what. That's up to you. Number four on the list of the top six other brand tattoos you could get and who could get them.

JB Hi-Fi. Oh, okay. For people who still like buying CDs because everybody else has abandoned you. I haven't. Are people still buying CDs? Yeah. They do have CDs, don't they? Yeah. Only it's, I feel like not. They don't have CD players. Yeah have it. Are people still buying CDs? Yeah. They do have CDs, don't they? Only it's, I feel like, not. They're not CD players.

Yeah, right. No better way to celebrate an outdated technology by getting a tattoo of said outdated technology seller. Yeah, well they sell a lot of vinyls, because people still buy the vinyls. People are going back to vinyls. Wasn't vinyl the highest selling music format? I think so, yeah, last year.

Yeah. And probably even more so this year. Number three on the list of the top six other brand tattoos you can get and who'd get them, Farmers. Oh, okay. Who would get that? Well, probably the person that would have got the Kmart tattoo, but they've got a little bit older.

They're doing a little bit better financially. Okay. And they like stopping at the makeup counter because it smells nice. Yeah. Number two on the list of the top six other brand tattoos you can get and who to get them. Daycuber. That's for husbands of women that shop there, so we're constantly reminded what that shop is. Yeah.

It's a confusing word. Dick-tuber? Dick. Dick-tuber. Dick-tuber. Yeah. Dick-tuber. Dick-tuber.

We'll see. This will be a problem when it's tattooed. Yeah. And number one on the list of the Top six other brand tattoos You can get And who'd get them H&M You know the clothes store

And yourself. There's three of us in here. All right, so the 12 Days of Fletchmas are today and tomorrow, the last chances for you to win. And you're tough out of luck today because I've already got my naughty and nice callers standing by. Megan, how would you describe today's gift? It's reasonably heavy.

And I think there's two bits to it. Quite heavy. Yeah, because it's an odd wrapped shape, isn't it? So if you would like to be in tomorrow, the finale of the 12 Days of Fletchmas, go to ZM Online, tell us if you deserve to be on 2020's naughty or nice list. Who's on the nice list?

Hi, Nicole. How are you? Morning. I'm good, thanks. How are you? I'm really good. Now, why are you on the nice list this year? So earlier this year, I had a BYO for my birthday.

Now I invited all my friends and my dad too and one of my friends proceeds to get blackout drunk and starts hitting on my dad in front of me grabbing his ass. He actually ended up leaving the BYO and

then I forgave her for the awkward tension and telling me how hot my dad was. Wait, so your dad is quite hot? He's my dad, so like... Put her on the spot. I expect this is the sort of issue I'm going to have to deal with in the future. Being a hot dad. Will you?

Yeah. Will you? Probably will. Will you? Little bit of a baby. Will you? Okay, and so you forgave her, and then is that where it ended? She's not invited to the batch anymore, but...

Well, I can understand why. Dad will be walking around in his budgie smugglers and his speedos. She won't be able to keep her hands to herself. Roping your dad. Wow, that's amazing. So you forgave your friend.

You're on the nice list. And your friend's on the... It's been a hard year. Wouldn't it be great if we had the friend on for the naughty list? We don't, but that would have been amazing.

All right, wait there, Nicolele who's on the naughty list janae janae is that's who janae you haven't been grabbing your friend's dad's bum have you no unfortunately i'm not the friend unfortunately everyone knows how hot does her dad sound hey yeah oh it sounds like it would have Unfortunately, I'm not the friend. Unfortunately. Everyone has to see a photo of hot dad now. How hot does her dad sound, eh? Oh, it sounds like it would have been fun if I can be invited to the next one. Yeah, maybe we should just all go. We'll just have a big BYO. Nicole's hot dad's BYO.

Yep. You can probably even pay for corkage too. Oh, yeah. NHD. Nicole's hot dad. Right, so Janae, why are you on the naughty list? So my uncle used my Uber Eats account and put his card details in

and he forgot to take his card details off. So I've been using his card for my Uber Eats orders and deliveries the last couple of months and he doesn't know, but he's picked up that there's been money missing from his account and he has mentioned it to me and thinks that somebody might be stealing from him. And I've kind of just said, oh, I'm not sure.

Are you sure you haven't just spent it yourself? Are you sure you haven't spent it yourself? Yeah, and he's not really tech savvy and he's a little bit old. So he doesn't have an app or anything online. He said to me, do you think I should go to the bank and check and tell them that someone's stealing money from me?

I'm like, no, I'm sure it's fine. No, don't do that. Janai! So are you... So naughty. Since he said that, have you ordered more Uber Eats? Yeah, of course I have. Janai! Janai! Once he said that, have you ordered more Uber Eats? Yeah, of course I have. Janae! Janae! So you've made him think he's going crazy. He's losing his marbles because you said he's older and not so tech savvy.

Yeah, you've turned him. He's 53, so I said, you're getting a bit old. Are you sure you haven't spent it yourself and you've just forgotten? Janae. And he said, maybe I have. Oh my God. You're gaslighting your uncle. You've also deterred him

from going to the bank to try to solve this issue. You know he will take it. No, I promise, I promise I'll, we're coming up to the new year. I promise I'll, I'll tell him in the new year.

My new year's resolution is to stop ripping off my uncle. Oh my God. Wow Oh, my God. Wow. Oh, my God. You're a monster. Okay, I'm in a real conundrum. I'll just put you on hold there, Janae.

I'm in a real conundrum. What if Nicole sends us a photo of her hot dad? Would that sway your voting? Just to quench your curiosity. I don't feel Nicole wants to talk About her hot dad Nicole Yes Are you

Some females, like your friend, just might be into older dudes, like have a bit of a dad. I've actually had the comment from a couple of people, and I've had a woman come up to me and ask if I'm his daughter

and if I can pass on their numbers. Oh, shit. He's real hot. What, is mum still on the scene? He's a blue tick hot dad. No, no, no. Mum's still on the scene. But he's got a partner, and she's like 10 years younger.

My man. We definitely need to see a photo of your hot dad. Why do you say my man when it's that way around? But when I'm with a dude 10 years younger. You say it. You say it. My man. That's that way around, but when I'm with a dude 10 years younger. You say it. You say it. My man. That's my man.

I do find it funny, but I would probably find it funnier if the uncle was real rich and didn't care and didn't notice. But he has noticed.

And I felt a little sorry for him. And also, I think we're all a little bit excited about Nicole's hot dad. We're quite invested. And Nicole, I am choosing you today. It was very close. I want Janae to know that I was very close to choosing her, but it's lucky you've got a hot dad, Nicole. You have won today's 12 Days of Fletcher.

Oh, thank you. Megan, you will need to send Megan a picture, though, and born it turns out. Yeah. You have won. Oh. Oh, my God. Keep that away from Dad.

He'll be absolutely. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God, yeah. So you've won a Versace men's and women's fragrance set. Now, you've won the Versace Eros Eau de Parfum. That's delicious. Now, that's a bold fragrance for passionate women. That's worth $198.

And this is... I can personally vouch for this one because this is my favourite fragrance of all time. Yeah. This one, the Versace Eros Flame Eau de Parfum for him. Am I saying that right? You've called it Babe Burley, haven't you? Because when you put it on, it's like a Burley trail for the babes.

You've said that. A fragrance for a strong and passionate self-confident man. Is that not me? RRP of 165, so you can give that to Dad. Strong and self-confident. Yeah, I'll give that to Dad. I don't think he needs it. He doesn't need scent on his side as well. He's obviously very pleasing to the visual

senses. Wow, what a gift that you are. Congratulations Nicole for the 12 days of adventure. Thank you, thanks so much. Your dad's going to look good, he's going to smell good. Taste is as you need to be determined. Fallen! Ellen Smith.

He sounds pretty good, but he feels good too. That's all the senses. If you'd like to be in for the last 12 days of Fletchmas tomorrow, hot dad or not, ZM online. I mean, I could help. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan,

the podcast, ZM. Afterpay have revealed data on what we're buying this Christmas. Afterpay is very tempting when you go to the checkout and it's like, you can pay it all now. See, I think it's scary. Why?

Because I was raised by financially risk-adverse people who only ever borrowed money for their mortgage. Yeah, right. Yeah, my parents were like, they freaked us out about everything financially. So I assume every financial institution's out to get me. I remember when I high-purchased a stereo, I was like, oh, my God, this is a big deal.

Did you fill out the paperwork in-store? I don't know if I can afford $5 a week over 24 weeks. Yeah, that's a very cheap stereo. I can't remember how much it was. I was always too scared to do that. But you'd have been like $5 a week over a thousand years. I just saved the other way, like saved my money and then paid for it. Because I was too scared.

But with Afterpay, do you pay any more? I don't think. I think it's interest free, isn't it? So you can pay in different installments. And I imagine that's probably pretty helpful for people this year. So who loses out? It's tempting. The for people this year. So who loses out? It's tempting. The retail outlet.

No, credit card people and higher purchase people. Sure, but how does Afterpay make money? Fees. If you're not, okay, is there a fee? Because if you're not paying interest, like where are they getting their money from? They've got to be getting their money from somewhere. Is it the retail outlet?

Maybe the retailers. Pay has to be part of Afterpay. So this is Google. Afterpay doesn't charge customers to use its service. Instead, it makes money by charging its partner retailers fees for offering the service. Right. And it also makes money charging customers late fees if they miss payments and stuff like that.

Because it's when you go to the checkout of wherever you are and they're like, you could pay this now or you could use Afterpay. And then it can entice you to buying it because you can pay it off. So the retailers are paying the fee. You've maxed out your credit card, so you can't do it that way. So yeah, this is from afterpay stats. It's a big roll of the dice when they started out then, to be like, we've just got to assume that retailers are going to want on board

and pay for this. Yeah. But then they'll be passing it on to the consumer, I'd imagine, just through higher prices. It's blown up though. Like it got started, it only got started a couple of years ago. Wasn't the person that started it quite young as well? Yeah.

It's had revenue of $251.6 million Australian dollars in June 2019. In June? Yeah. I don't know if that's revenue for the year to that date or that month. I feel like this is one of those things that I could have thought of, but I just didn't bother. Yeah.

Like PayPal. Or the Segway. I feel like this is one of those things that I could have thought of, but I just didn't bother. Yeah. Yeah. Like PayPal. Well, the Segway. What? I feel like I could have totally been in the Segway. No, you lack any kind of skill set. Exactly. I could have theorized.

Oh, right. I could have come up with the idea for a Segway. I'd be like, surely there's something you could stand on that would balance. It would have an internal gyroscope. Sure. Okay. So the top five gifts that Kiwis have bought this year through Afterpay. I have actually attempted to buy some of these and they've sold out.

Okay. So number five is Smiggle New Zealand Touchable Bubbles. Touchable butt. Bubbles. I don't know if Smiggles brought you to the touchable butts. Touchable bubbles. Bubbles do look like butts. Sometimes if two bubbles get joined together it looks like a big juicy butt.

What is it, like bubble wrap or something? No, I imagine it's bubbles that are so strong you can, like, catch them. Oh, okay. I'm looking. Is that like some mega dishwashing liquid or something? I'm looking. I'm looking. Touchable bubbles. Nude do them as well. Oh, do they? Okay. But smuggled is touchable bubbles. Don't know what's happened there. I'm looking. Touchable bubbles. Nude do them as well. Oh, do they?

Okay. But smiggled is touchable bubble. Don't know what's happened there. I think I had a touchable bubble. Okay, yeah. It's a little bubble wand and you blow it, but yeah, you can catch them. They're a stronger bubble. So it's all in the liquid.

You can probably make that at home and save yourself some money. But they were that popular. They've made it to number five. Wow, okay. And people are after paying it. Yeah. Okay. Number four is the Country Road Sweat.

The heritage sweater. You know, just the jersey that says Country Road across the road. I got one of those. That is number four. Yes, it was you that was wearing one. But somebody else was wearing one recently too. Yeah. Georgia, I believe.

Yes. Yeah. That's number four. It's so popular, that piece of clothing. So I've got the grey one. It's a lovely colour. You and George are a couple of basic bitches.

I don't have the Country Road bag. I don't think that's... They're not cheap. Yeah, but they're basic. And they're, like, good quality. Says the man wearing a $12 t-shirt. But what I'm saying is that it's more of a reflection upon here than the sweatshirt.

Yeah, okay, cool. Right. Like if I saw a kid blowing those touchable bubbles, I'd be like, hmm, basic. Number three of the top five gifts

Kiwis bought this year on Afterpay are Briscoe's Galaxy microfiber pillow. What's a microfiber? Is that like a memory foam? Is that one of those ones

that tells you like it's not, it won't give you wrinkles? Like, cause, oh no, that's a pillow. What's it called? A microfiber. A Briscoe's micro Galaxy microfiber pillow. Galaxy. I feel like my mother. Such a roll of a dice

buying a pillow. God, it's such a big investment. That's a hard decision buying a pillow. And does Briscoe's brown upon you lying down and trying it in there? Well, they don't have a bed, do they, in Briscoe's? On the floor, that's fine. Okay. Oh, here we go. It's a 550-something GSM microfiber pillow.

Right. It's an alternative to Feather and Down, give you loft and support. I feel like my mum bought one of these very recently. What did she, did she have good feedback? Because she'd use it at our place. Yep. And then she was like, I simply must have one.

Oh, right. Okay. Yeah. And it was $100, but she got it for $30, which is further proof that you never step through the blue doors unless there's a sale on. Yep.

Number two, Kmart studio selfie light stand. They had ring lights, Kmart. Very briefly, I tried to get one all across the country and they sold out so quick. Well, you were trying to buy one for yourself.

I was trying to buy one for a present. And it sold out. Gone burgers. But it was a really good and really like affordable selfie light. 16 bucks! You talking about the selfie light? 16 bucks! Yeah.

No wonder they flew off the shelves. And you can dip it and it had a stand, but that's gone so don't even bother trying. And number one, a Mecca Cosmetica Cyber Monday bundle. So over Cyber Monday, they had a bundle of goodies that you could buy from Mecca. That is the number one gift that Kiwis bought this year on Afterpay. Selfie lights, makeup, pillows that don't cause wrinkles,

a country road hoodie, a country road sweatshirt. And touchable bubbles. You've just painted the picture of who's using Afterpay. The exact, everyone knows one, someone that fits that exact description.

Yeah. All right. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. It's holy moly, moly, moly, moly, holy moly, moly, moly. Come on.

Christmas. I wake tomorrow. It's the Christmas special of Holy Moly, holy moly, moly moly. Come on. Christmas. I wake tomorrow. It's the Christmas special of Holy Moly. We asked a whole bunch of questions about Christmas. Kind of like more of the family Christmas. We did the secret Santa. We did the workplacey Christmasy feel. This is a bit more focused on the family.

We asked, do you enjoy family Christmas? And this is a very in-depth scientific poll on Instagram. Thousands of votes. Do you know when we get articles or whatever and it's like the study asked 2,000 people. Yep. We scoff, don't we? Oh, we scoff.

We scoff. Because we're just like. Way more people answer these questions. Yeah, they do. So print these stats. I don't know who I'm talking to. The internet. Hey, internet.

I know you're listening. Print these stats. Do you enjoy family Christmas? 81% of people said yes, which is great to hear, but also for the 19% who said no, it makes me a little bit sad. Yeah. I can't believe there's people out there

that get along with their families, says somebody as a responder. If it's somebody else's family, then sure. Now that I have my own family, it's so much easier. And the key is to have immediate family only. Oh, yeah, less drama. We've done huge, widespread cousins is about as far as it's gone. But then my mum and dad aren't from massive families.

Yeah, right. But you imagine if your parents had like eight siblings and then they all had partners and then they all had kids. Oh, right. But you imagine if your parents had like eight siblings and then they all had partners and then they all had kids. Oh, that would be so annoying. Too many. There's bound to be

some dicks in there. Yeah. I mean like unpleasant people. I was going to say statistically making 50%. I realise. Yeah.

We then presented you with a sliding scale and said on a sliding scale of between 20 to 250 plus, how many dollars do you spend on your partner's present? And the average was 150 on your partner's present. Yeah. We both chip in for a shared present for ourselves and we're finally getting ourselves a new coffee machine this year,

says somebody. That's a cute idea. A shared present. Yeah, you decide on somebody, on something together. Then who gets it when you break up? It's only a matter of time. You're so cynical. Oh my God.

Just looking at the statistics. If you're having Christmas present from 2020, they get Christmas present from 2021. But I'm just saying on Christmas day, it's just a little good chat to have is if we break up, I get the coffee machine. Yep.

You've done a lot of relationship. Yeah, I have. Great. Somebody else said it's just the two of us, so we spend $100 each and just fill up each other's stockings. And I'll never forget the Christmas. I got my boyfriend a $100 gift voucher, and he got me a chocolate. A chocolate. That's not even chocolate, which could be determined as the plural of.

They can't be together now, surely. You've got to be very clear about what you're doing. Expectations. What your expectations are. Especially if you're driven by that sort of thing. Yeah. Regifting. I'm just saying to avoid her disappointment.

Regifting, yay or nay? Very close. 52% of people said nay to regifting. 48% said yay to regifting. We get free stuff at work all the time. I save stuff so I don't want throughout the year, I never have to do any Christmas shopping. Is it you, Megan?

No. You do that, though. No, I don't. Yes, you do. Are you being out? Do you not want to be out? No, do you know what I do? I save things and then we play Christmas games with the family

and they have prizes which are things we get as presents. I don't use them as presents. That's not okay. I give them away as prizes for our Christmas games. This makes me feel slightly better about the fact that we've got the Prime Minister who's joining us in studio tomorrow, a gift, and it's re-gifted. We're giving them re-gifting Christmas. Yeah. Like the Prime Minister who's joining us in studio tomorrow, a gift. And it's re-gifted. We're giving them re-gifting Christmas. Yeah.

Like the Prime Minister. But do you know what? It's her fault. What, if it's going to go in the bin or sit unused otherwise? Yeah, re-gift. What's the point of re-gifting? And if they don't know. Don't re-gift it to the person that gifted it to you.

Oh, no, absolutely not. There are some rules around re-gifting. Like the Prime Minister will literally think we've done this for her. Not now, because you've told everyone. She's not listening. She's running the country. She's listening to the Morning Report. Yeah.

God, that guy in Espen is a hell of a broadcaster. Don't go anywhere! Somebody else said this is a win-win for everybody. We asked, does your family do Secret Santa or individual presents? 40% of families are doing Secret Santa. Individual gifts are sitting at about 60%. Secret Santa for the wind, so much better for the environment and your wallet. Yep.

Secret Santa for the adults, individual for the kids. And somebody else said both. How do you do both? You get a Secret Santa. Maybe that's like a big gift for your Secret Santa and then everyone gets little things. Individual gifts. Yeah, we just buy, like when we all had kids, we just buy for nieces and nephews now.

Suck it, adults. Question box. We asked, what's the biggest drama that went down at family Christmas? This is like when last week we asked the biggest drama at the staff Christmas party. Wow. That was good. My ex proposed to me at Christmas lunch

and I said no in front of everybody. Drama. Wow. My sister had her baby the morning of Christmas and then came home for Christmas lunch because there was no way she was missing it. I don't know if she brought the baby home with her or not. Yeah.

You can get discharged pretty quick. Good Lord. My son banged my family friend's fiance and they broke off the engagement. My son banged my family friend's Fiance and they broke off the engagement And it all went down at Christmas At Christmas? Like in one of the rooms? I don't know In the lead up to Christmas

Had they done presents? Who got the coffee machine? No coffee machines See you laughed before My mum poured liquor on the Christmas pud to light it on fire and it caught her on fire. Her apron was very badly burnt. There was a punch-up at family Christmas and it was over by 10am. Oh, wow.

It's a little drama. We asked the biggest drama at your family Christmas. My brother ate all the Christmas leftovers and it resulted in a massive fight. Vegans complained about the food. Meat eaters complained about the vegans. There was a lot of fighting that day. I forgot to make the stuffing and my family had to sulk for the rest of the day.

They could have made it themselves, couldn't they? Yeah. My boyfriend cheated on me with my cousin at family Christmas. Wow. Oh, dear. Dad bought mum a head streamer for Christmas. Need I say more?

And the biggest drama that went down at family Christmas, my grandmother found out my sister was a lesbian and absolutely lost it. She won't be around forever. Exactly. If you go to our Facebook page, FBMZM, you can download the Christmas bingo card. The things that parents and events

that will most likely happen at Christmas. You could have put someone's boyfriend sleeping with someone in your family on there. Yeah. That would have been juicy. Yeah. Alright. If Nicole's hot dad would tear it up at family Christmas. Fleshfauna Megan. The podcast. ZM.

You need to talk about your hot siblings. If you've got one. This is weird. It's a hell of a thing to admit. You know people find your siblings attractive, though. You don't have to. Do you remember someone we worked with thought your sister was real hot? Do you remember that? That was because their sister was hot.

And they thought it was a throwback. You hated them talking about it. Yeah. Well, mostly because I don't like lies. No offense. Your sister is hot. Are they getting you back? You hated them talking about it. Yeah. Well, mostly because I don't like lies. No, thanks. Your sister is hot. Very hard to believe you're siblings. She's not siblings.

Well, she's genetically related to me, so she's not a complete, like, right off. Okay. Okay, right. I don't know what it would be like to be burdened with that, but ask my brother and sister. They'd hear it all the time. About your hotness.

Yes. Yes. Yes. So this is an awkward situation for someone who's shed it on TikTok. So they were on Hinge. It's a dating app, which is big in the States. Now it recommends people. In your vicinity?

It's different than like Bumble or Tinder in that it recommends other people. Yeah, in your vicinity. So it's got some kind of algorithm. And at Hinge you always hear Americans talk about it. It's very big in the US. Yeah. A dating app. Apparently it focuses on more long term

less superficial relationships. So whether your personalities align. It's marketed to people who want to delete dating apps. Right. Okay. Right. It's like the dating app for people who hate dating apps. Well, let's join this Hinge user. TikTok star.

Yeah, at Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Something I'm thankful for is that my most compatible on Hinge was updated. Let me show you. Here he is. Super cute, if you ask me brooke and noah we think you two should meet and we agreed and we're already spending thanksgiving together and it's going well let me show you and here he is and the fact of the matter is um this is my brother and

and it's for that reason that that's not funny it's not funny and it's for that reason that... That's not funny. That's not funny. And it's for that reason that we will be suing him. So she's at Thanksgiving and it's recommending her brother. They're a good looking... Yeah, they're a good looking siblings. They'd be perfect for that Instagram account siblings or dating.

Do you still follow that? Yes, and I still never get it right. They look exactly the same. How can they be happy to date a mirror image of themselves? I saw a couple the other day and I was like, I swore they were brother and sister. Yeah. But then they kissed and I was like, okay, they're going out. That's it.

This is weird. Yeah. But she's more or less admitting, watching the video, getting the body language, that her brother is a good looking dude. Yeah. And he is a good looking dude. But that's something to admit. So we want to ask this morning if you can admit that your sibling is hot,

hotter than you. Well, maybe you're just like equally hot. Maybe like Liam Hemsworth is going to ring up about Luke. This is weird. No New Zealander is going to say, yes, my siblings. Luke was a niche choice. Why would Liam ring about Luke? That's really nice to Luke, though.

Luke is a good-looking guy. I've never understood. Luke's a phenomenally attractive man, but when your brothers are Liam and Chris Hemsworth. It's like saying Mount Cook's a beautiful big mountain. But then put it right next to Mount Everest. And it's not. It's just little, isn't it? It's like a hill. It's a beautiful big mountain. But then put it right next to Mount Everest. And it's not. It's just little, isn't it?

It's like a hill. It's a little mountain. Do you think people are actually going to admit this? No one is going to ring up and admit this. You're not saying you're hot. You're saying your sibling's attractive. Hotter than you. And to say the word hot.

Can you say... No, don't say that. Just say better looking. No, you have to say hot. Because I'm guessing there will be. My brother is a hottie. Could anybody say that?

But there will be scenarios where your friends are always trying to hit on your sibling if they're like really hot, right? That would always happen. Yeah.

I need a bath. Okay, well, I don't know. Megan, this is Megan's idea by the way for a phone-in topic well, I don't know. Megan, this is Megan's idea, by the way, for a phone-in topic. People will definitely admit it. I don't think they will. No, they 100% will. Okay, well, I'll wait $100 at him.

9-6-9-6. Somebody text messaged in that the younger brother's a babe. They used babe. Right, okay. Is that worse than hot? If my brother was hot, I couldn't say it. I think people used to be attractive to my brother, but not so much anymore.

Probably because he's got a partner. That's the reason. Yeah, right. Okay, yeah, that'll be why. Because it definitely stops everybody. But if your brother was Liam Hemsworth, like, looking, would you say, yeah, my brother's hot and good looking? That's such a trap.

What would you say? You'd have to say he's hot. You'd have to. Somebody said, can I say my brother's good looking, but he's a douchebag? And it's like, absolutely. Yes. Yes.

All right, 0800-DARLS-AT-M. Is your sibling better looking than you? So a woman in the US, she was home for Thanksgiving and a dating app recommended her brother as someone that she should get in touch with. So we're asking you this morning, can you admit that your siblings are hotter than you? Or just hot.

Or just that they're hot. Tell people what you said about your brother. He used to look like Leonardo DiCaprio, didn't he? Used to. Yep. Not anymore. Not so much anymore. You're creating something.

I said a horrible thing you said after that. No. It was just for us. So, okay, so people are calling. I was wrong, Megan. I said nobody would admit this. Of course they will. Because I'm too stubborn.

I would never be able to admit this. Somebody said, I've got three siblings, a sister and two brothers, and I will say loudly and proudly that they're all very good looking. Good genes. Yeah, but see, that to that they're all very good looking. Good genes. Yeah, but see, that to me says you're also good looking. Yeah, some of these are, yeah. If they're all good looking. A hundred percent, my sisters are hot.

We all are. We're a family of all girls, all hot girls. I have seven sisters, and my mates always hit on them, but my mates never hit on me, so I guess this is my way of finding out I'm the ugly duckling. No, you're already in the friend zone. So I guess this is my way of finding out I'm the ugly duck. Aww. No, you're already in the friend zone. We might be a late bloomer. Lisa, can you admit that your siblings are attractive?

Yep, 100%. Right, okay. And there are 11 of us in our family. 11! And you're all attractive? Jeez, Dad must have thought Mum was attractive too. Wow. Well, she absolutely is. Wow.

That's you guys could have shit head. So is it you and then 11 or 11 in total? So that's 11 in total. You should have gone for one more because then you could have done a calendar. You know what? We did say that to her as well. We wanted a full football team and she said 11.

Yes, and then everyone could get an end. Mum and dad could have a month. You put everyone at the end. Everyone, family picture and Christmas. Yeah, everyone gets a month. Well, a dating site in the US tried to match a sister with her brother. She didn't swipe and match him.

It was recommending. Yeah. And he's an attractive dude. Yeah. And he's an attractive dude. Yeah. And it's got us onto the fact that some of us do have hot siblings. They're just more attractive. And are you willing to admit it to us? Yes.

Somebody messaged in, they did text message in saying, how busy are your phone lines? I think my siblings are probably trying to call through. Which I like. That's good. Good humour. Yeah, good humour, yeah. All right, we'll take some calls.

Natasha, you want to tell us about your brother? Sure thing. So my brother's only 15 months younger than me, and I swear to goodness my parents realised real early on that I was the muntah, so had him real quick. He is like 6'3", abs, bronze, blue eyes, blonde hair. Just like, you know, all my friends my entire life have been chasing after my brother. And I'm just like, cool, I'll just sit over here.

Natasha, I don't believe you. No, I'm serious. Don't call yourself a manta. That's so mean. Did you ever have friends growing up that weren't like you maybe thought, I wonder if they're just friends because of my hot brother? Absolutely. I literally had friends admit that to me when we finished high school.

Like, oh, by the way, all the best with uni. I'm only really friends with you because of your hot brother. Yeah. I'm heading off to wherever your brother's going. Where are you going? Oh, yeah, cool. So see you later. Bye.

Oh, my gosh. People are absolutely ruthless. Thanks, you're cool. Josie, you've got a. Oh, my gosh. People are absolutely ruthless. Thanks, you're cool. Josie, you've got a better looking sibling? Yeah, I've got two of them. Oh, no. What, like brothers? Well, I've got an older brother and I, like, I can admit he's, yeah, he's pretty hot, I

think. Yeah. I mean. Does this cause problems when your friends come over? I mean, yeah. Well, I didn't really care because I was sort of like, oh, cool, I've got a hot brother. That makes me cooler because he was older,

so then everyone wanted me to come to their parties, right? So you'd bring your hot brother? Yeah. He was your meal ticket. It was sort of like, I don't know, I didn't really realise it, but we did all the same sports together, and it wasn't until I was looking at all the people in his team and I was like, oh, he's hot, he's hot.

And then I saw that my brother was bigger and whatever than all of them and I was like, oh, shit. He was more hotter than the hot ones. Well, he was one of the hotter ones in the group, yeah. Wow. So you said both your siblings. So how do you fit into this? You know how there's like the genetic lottery

and it's all kind of by chance? Oh, Josie! We finally just sit there at the dinner table and it's like this running joke. It's like, okay, you got the good teeth, you got the good nose, you got the hips, you got the whatever, and then I'm kind of sitting there like,

what did I get? You sound very fun. Yeah, no, they're good. I mean, also, we can... Megan, you might as well have called her bubbly. I can't see her. She is beautiful, I'm sure. Josie's just so bubbly, isn't she?

That's what I had to do. I had to. Brilliant. Hey, Josie, thanks for your call. Some other text messages in. Somebody said, my sister was gifted with the body that Angelina Jolie lips. Angelina Jolie lips.

And all I got was a body built for female rugby. We both came out of the car carrying boxes of stuff when we were moving. She tripped over and honestly, men came out of thin air left, right and centre offering to help her and carry the boxes for her. Yet everyone was happy for me to just keep on carrying. Somebody said, I can easily admit my sibling's hotter than me,

but that's like saying this yuck cake tastes better than that pile of dirt. Wow. You're not a pile of dirt. Hey, or you need a pile of dirt to grow vegetables. Look at yourself more as moist potting mix. Yes, that could give someone legionnaires disease if they open the bag in a non-drafted area. Or gives life.

Yeah, that's the one. I've got a fraternal twin sister. So that means you're not identical. But you're in there at the same time. Yes. And she is way hotter than me. Like way hotter. We don't look anything alike. So I don't tell people I'm a twin because I'm sick of the you guys don't look anything alike. So I don't tell people I'm a twin because I'm sick of the

you guys don't look anything alike. Yeah. And I know exactly what they mean. Yeah. But that's unfair to Cheek. What, did she get a bigger suck on the placenta or something? Like, what's the...

That's not fair, is it? I don't know. You're hogging the placenta. It needs a... ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Tomorrow is Megan's last show. Ever.

Ever. Ever. No, not ever. I'm never coming back. It's a thing called maternity leave. Yeah. Because I wasn't allowed this when I had a kitten, I'm a little bit upset about, but that's all right.

I'm not holding it against the company or the government. As a taxpayer. You didn't birth that kitten, so. Yeah, but cats don't even care about birthing kittens. They do it like eight at a taxpayer. You didn't birth that kitten, so. Yeah, but cats don't even care about birthing kittens. They do it like eight at a time. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, that's true. So I.

It'd just be nice to get a government rebate for my couch that he's scratched up, but that's okay. Anyway, so. Imagine you got a government rebate for everything your children ruined. Wow. Yeah, I was going to say, what does one of those go for? Well, they can fix those up on the public, on the public health system. So. So, I was going to say, what does one of those go for? Well, they can fix those up on the public health system.

So, Megan, you'll be taking maternity leave until when? May. I'll be back. May. Okay, good. Well, no, we teased you for a little bit and said it was a year, but you didn't take that well. Because Fletch was like, how long do these things go for?

I was like, well, they're legally entitled to have their job held for a year. And he was like, a year? I'd be an employment court if I ran a business. I'd be like, you need a year? Get back here. You get back here. Um, so You two, you can't be left alone

to your own devices. Well, no, we burnt down that place that time. What place? The hut? We nearly burnt down a dock hut. Or the studio. Oh, no, we burnt down a studio. No, that was an electrical fire.

I was there for that too. And you were there. Yeah. I saw it about that time you were playing with matches in the Port Hills. Vaughan, that is not a funny joke at the moment. Oh, because it's dangerously close to happening again. There's been some fires, yes.

We're not live, eh? We can just delete that out. Well, yeah, we'll delete that to it happening again. Yeah, there's been some fires, yes. Okay. We're not live, eh? We can just delete that out. Well, yeah, we'll delete that out later. Great. Yeah. Cool. Okay, great. This is a podcast?

Yeah, absolutely it is. Yeah. Great. Yeah. So stepping in for you next year, Hayley Sproul. Hello, Hayley Sproul. Hello, Vaughn. Hello, Hayley.

I'm just going to call her Hayley from now on. Yeah. You've established your last name, Sproul. Yeah. Sounds very formal to address someone by first name. I want to be like a lord situation, just one name. Hayley. Hayley. Hayley. Yeah. Hayley from now on. Yeah. Establish the last name to Sproul. Yeah. Sounds very formal to address someone by first name. I want to be like a Lord situation just one name. Hayley.

Hayley. Hayley. Yeah. With a thingy over your E. Yeah. So people will know you from you were on Have You Been Paying

Attention last year? Yeah. And I will be again this year. The Great Cookie Bake thing. Oh my God. The Great Cookie Biscuit Taste Test.

Yes. Yeah. That's just where where they go to the cookie time factory and try all the different Christmas cookies. Yum. You're Jacinda Ardern impressions. Oh my gosh. Mal Bracewell gag. Shocking news that I'm not Melanie Bracewell for those listening.

You do get confused for Mal Bracewell a lot. All the time. I've started just accepting it. Someone came up to me when I was on tour recently and they said, I love your Jacinda impersonations. I said, thank you, and just walked out. Yeah. Hey, why not? You guys look different to me. So different. Wildly different. We're so different.

Wildly different. But yeah, I'm going to be covering Megan while you're having your baby. And I've just been lurking here in the studio. You're like, welcome to the studio. I've been here the whole time. Yes. Silently, creepily watching. You walked in this morning at quarter past five and you were like, good morning!

I was like, that won't last long. I definitely got a fright at the 4.15 alarm. That's for sure. It is a weird time of the day. Yeah. To be awoken. Yeah, that's sort of when I get home most weekends. Yeah. Well, we'll get used to it. That's sort of when I get home most weekends. Yeah. Yeah. We'll get used to it.

That's why a commercial radio has broken more than its fair share of comedians. Yeah. They're like, I can do that. I can tell a funny gag. Have you tried setting an alarm? What's that? Is that on my phone?

I've not come across that feature. Yeah. My thing is I'm a snoozer, so I have to set like 10 alarms. Right. 401, 402, 403, et cetera, et cetera, until my last one. Right. So that's a gift for my boyfriend.

Right. Or that would be a treat. Yeah, that would be a treat, wouldn't it? Yeah. Megan, do you have any advice for Hayley? Words of wisdom. Because this is going to be a while. It's going to be, you know, it's a good few months.

Four months? Something like that. I think externally, these two seem quite nice, but they need a lot of hand-holding. Yeah. What's that? Vaughn's notoriously late. Will never turn up when he's supposed to be there.

Yeah. You saw that this morning. I did. He was last in. But I've got everything done that I need to get done. So am I late? Or are you early because you're incompetent? Don't tell him to hurry because it makes him go slower.

Per minute at work, I get more work done than you. Efficient. Yes, efficiency. Quality, not quantity. Work smarter, not harder. Yeah. If you tell him to do something and you don't get a response, he definitely didn't hear you.

Sometimes you'll get a response and I still didn't hear you. Yeah. Fletch is very grumpy. What? I'm cute. I'm the cute one. But the good news is he gets over things really fast. Okay.

Yeah. Okay. Quick to offend and then quick to forgive. We move on. He's happy to move on. But, you know, if you're offended. You'll be fine. Yeah.

I'm a grudge holder. So I think this will go well yeah me too oh you and me that's why Fletch and I work with him I'll let it eat away at me all morning

I don't know how many times I've said to Vaughn Vaughn you need to let that grudge go with that person just move on no I hate them forever

I'll be calling meetings sending you know heavily worded emails well we're excited to have you on board thanks for coming in this morning we'll see you Jan, January. Thanks, and

have a good baby. I hope so. Alright, next on the show, at the start of the year, pre this entire dumpster fire of a year that we've had, we asked three people their New Year's resolutions for

2020. Yeah. And then COVID hit and, you know, it's been a hell of a year. We're going to catch up with these three people next on the show. We asked them on the proviso that they felt they wouldn't be able to keep them if they didn't, like, publicly Yeah, tell us about them. Yeah, tell us about them. So we're going to find out how those three people went

with their New Year's resolutions. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. So we're going to find out how those three people went with their New Year's resolutions. At the start of the year, we asked three people what their New Year's resolutions were. Kerry, good morning. Good morning. I need to save some money. My son's going to uni this year and I was a bit inspired by a blog that I read of Sarah Wilson's in Australia to do no more online shopping. Anonymous, good morning.

Gary, good morning. Okay, what about... Well, that's a weather-dependent resolution, Gary. What about the rain, Gary? Yeah, I know. It's summertime. It was nice and sunny when I met it, so we'll see how we go. So that was at the start of the year. Let's catch up with them.

Hi, Kerry. Oh, morning. You had the resolution to not buy any new clothing. You wanted to not do any online shopping this year. That's exactly right, Megan. And how, I mean,

when we talked to you at the start of the year, we didn't know what 2020 was going to be. No. And that is exactly right. Herein lies the problem. So does that mean it did not go well? Well, it did for the first half of the year. I was pretty proud of myself. But then, yeah, I think just I lost motivation for a lot of things come June, July.

And not shopping was one of them. So I may have picked up a few pieces online, which I said I wasn't going to do. But I did. But also, like, COVID kind of forced us online a lot more, didn't it? It did. It really did. It was really hard. So, you know, you look for whatever way you can to cheer yourself up.

Yeah. I think this year was an exception. Yeah, I think anyone that didn't keep to a resolution this year has the ultimate excuse, COVID. Oh, thank you. I take that. Hey, well, Kerry, have a great rest of 2020 and all the best of 21. Thank you, and you guys too.

Anonymous is next on our New Year's resolutions list. Good morning. Good morning. Hello, how are you? Good. So your resolution this year was to have a baby. Yes, it was. This feels very personal.

How have you been going? Yeah, it's been an interesting year. I'm not pregnant, but we are actually starting IVF early next month. Oh, okay. From one woman to another who's been through this. Yes, I know. Honestly, you would have felt the pressure this year then. Yeah, it's been a hard year. I actually lost my job thanks to COVID,

but I have another job now, which has been amazing. And yeah, we decided a few months ago just to do some tests because things weren't happening and yeah yeah discovered that we'd need some help um so yeah so um we're on a waiting list but we've decided that we're gonna um put together some money and pay for one private round um in January okay and and see what happens but um Megan I just wanted to say that um I think I've watched your video about your fertility story about 10 times now and shared it with my husband and anyone that cared to look at it. And

I just want to say thank you so much for sharing that because there's been some pretty low moments, as you would know. But yeah, it was amazing that you shared it. And I think it helped a lot of people because it definitely helped me. So thank you so much for doing that. Yeah, no, I totally understand how hard it is. But I think it's really important to like go and get yourself checked out because now you've found out your situation. Yeah. So at the start of the year when we spoke to you, what was going through your head, Megan, when we were talking to Anonymous? She was like, I'm trying to have a baby.

And you were like, well, I'm trying to. I was terrified for her because I was at that stage in the position where I'd been trying for over a year. And I thought to myself, I genuinely hope that you're not in the same predicament because doing things publicly like that is so scary. So I was scared for you, but there's nothing to be scared about because the way that people have babies there's so many different ways um yeah yeah and I just wish you all the best for for January our fingers and toes are crossed and have a great holiday season don't think about it too much if that's possible and all the best thank you and congratulations to you Megan as well I wanted to say that thank you you. And finally, Gary,

with his New Year's resolution to ride his bike every day. Good morning, Gary. Morning, how are you? Good. I think when we caught up with you mid-year, you'd had a few days

where it was raining and you didn't ride it. No, I rode it. I kept going. I didn't give up. You got a good raincoat. I remember that. We talked about the importance of a good raincoat.'t give up. You got a good raincoat. I remember that. We talked about the importance of a good raincoat.

Yeah, Megan said I need a good raincoat. And so it's now, you know, the 17th of December. How are you going? It's 351 days from the start of the year and we're still going. Wow! Gary! Gary! Gary! Don't give up, Gary! Gary! Gary! Gary! Oh, you nailed it! Don't give up, Gary! Does it make you feel like fitter when you get to work or just at the end of the day like you've done a good amount of exercise?

Oh, no, I'm knackered. Yeah. So is this something come January 1st you're just going to be like, that's enough? I don't know, Megan. I'm not sure. Probably not. Because then you've done a whole year. You'll be like 400. It's not too far away. I'm not sure. Probably not. Because then you've done a whole year.

You'll be like 400. It's not too far away. Then you hit 400. You'll be like, I could do 500. And then once you've hit 500, you might as well do 1,000. Well, I've told the wife I might aim for 400, but I might get a divorce before that. What about sickness?

Have you had any days where you haven't felt up to it health-wise? Well, I rode for six weeks in a splint. I cut the tendons and the nerves to my finger and, yeah. And you still rode a bike. That would have been a perfect excuse for me not to ride a bike. Well, yeah, it was. It was, but I sort of thought, well, hey, I'll give it a go and we managed it. It wasn't the pressure of talking to us that kept you going, was it?

Maybe I talked up a bit too much and there's a few too many other people who were giving me a bit of pressure. You didn't want this to be a disappointing call, did you, Gary? No, I didn't want to disappoint you guys. Oh, you haven't. Gary, congratulations. That's a good run there, mate. Epic feat. Yeah, and Merry Christmas and all the best to 2021.

Yeah, Merry Christmas to you guys, and have a good one when it gets here. Hopefully 2021's a bit better than 2020, yeah? Amen. Fingers crossed, Gary. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. Just before we get to Fact of the Day, we just spoke to Hayley Sproul, who's in studio with us,

filling in for Megan next year when she's on maternity leave. Yep, looking after things. And I've just realised that Fact of the Day is something we do every day at this time-ish. We do it live. And we sing the jingle, which started accidentally one day when we sung it. We just sung it.

And then every day we sung it since. Don't we just record like a perfect version and play that every day? Well, that's an FAQ, isn't it? People are like, do you do that live every time? Yeah, yeah. Yes, we do. Because sometimes it's awful. You couldn't even match the pacing.

Yeah. You're really hyping this up. It's awful. It's awful. The tune has matured with us But it's slowed down A little bit I've done quite a bit of singing coaching in the past

Have you? You're going to love this thing I'm really looking forward to hearing the quality Well it's time for Fact of the day Day day day, day, day. Very brave at this hour of the morning. I mean, I have to take the bass. Have you heard these two? Yeah. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. We just did that.

That was some Beach Boys level shit right there. A woman in her 60s just got taken back to their teenage years. Oh, my God. I know. Stop there. So today's Fact of the Day, and all the facts this week have been Christmas themed. Yes. In our last week doing the show before Christmas. And I found this Christmas tradition and fact very enlightening.

It is called Teone Nadal. Yeah. It is a tradition from the Catalan Valencian area of Spain. Okay. And that translates to, Teone Nadal translatesan area of Spain. Okay. And that translates to, Tener Nadal translates to the Christmas log. Okay. And the idea is that on the 8th of December,

the Feast of the Immaculate Conception is a Catholic holiday in the lead up to Christmas. And you have a big log. Yep. And you have a little face on it, on the front, and it's covered with a blanket. So you imagine a log on a stand. It's on a slight tilt backwards.

And then the face is on the end of it like, hello. And then it's wearing a red, traditionally red blanket over the top of it. So it looks like it's wearing like a hood sort of thing. And it sits there. And starting on the 8th of December, you start giving it a little sort of thing. And it sits there. And starting on the 8th of December, you start giving it a little bit of food. Do you put a hole in it?

Yeah, you can... Do you drill a hole into the log? A little bit of food in its mouth. You just feed it a little wee bit every night. Now, the parents' job is to get the food out. Right, okay. So you feed it a little bit and a little bit. And then just before Christmas.

Spoiler alert, does it turn into a Christmas tree? No. Oh, okay. That would have been cute. I know, that would have been real cute, wouldn't it? It's called the pooping log. Because what you're feeding it, it turns into presents. And it poops out the presents.

So how this works is on Christmas Eve, it's always beside the fire, not too close, obviously, because it doesn't want to catch fire. And if you don't have a fire, you can just have it like a Christmas tree. Thank you for those safety tips. Yep, not a problem. And then on Christmas Eve,

you hit it with a stick while singing the Christmas log song. Oh, please tell me you had that. It poops presents. So you hit it with a stick while singing the Christmas log song. Oh, please tell me you had that. It poops presents. So you hit it with a stick, and then the children have to go and say their prayers. Traditionally, they go and say their prayers. And when they came back, the log had pooped presents. Right.

And then the children would open their presents on Christmas Eve. Do you have the Christmas log song? Not only do I have the Christmas log song, Megan, I have it sung by Nora Jones. Nora Jones sung the Christmas log song? Not only do I have the Christmas log song, Megan, I have it sung by Nora Jones. Nora Jones sung the Christmas log song. She did. She did this through an ad

that also starred Anthony Bourdain. You know the chef, the travelling chef? Yes. Who's since passed away. He was in this ad. Okay.

It was an ad for an accommodation, online accommodation booking service. Right. This is Nora Jones singing the Christmas song and then when the song ends

I'll give you a rough translation of what she sung. Okay. Lovely. Isn't it lovely? Yeah. I'll sing along with her on the second verse. The second verse.

Okay. Shit log, shit nougatat Hazelnuts and cheese If you don't shit well I'll hit you with a stick Shit log And that's them hitting the log And that's it pooping presents It sounded so much sweeter when she was singing

It did it started really lovely I know it sounds really nice Did she know what she was singing it. I know, it sounds really nice. Did she know what she was singing? And then, if you don't shit well, I'll hit you with a stick. Shit! Log shit. It's encouraging it to get along

with its business. Oh, you want the presents to come out? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You want the presents. You've fed this log up since the 8th of December and then on Christmas Eve there you go viciously beat it with a stick and tool

it poops out presents. Didn't you say the log was dressed up like a baby? Not like a baby. Like a little face? It had a face. Right. It had a face

so you can make the face look like anything you want. Okay. It's got to have a hollow end but it's covered with the blankets. Right. So that hides the sh you can make the face look like anything you want. Okay. It's got to have a hollow end but it's covered with the blankets. Right. So that hides the shenanigans going on. Yeah, right. You've got to keep it warm and keep it well fed so that

on Christmas Eve when you beat it with a stick and go for a prayer and when you come back your prayers have been answered because you pooped out some presents. I think we need that Christmas tradition for you. I know. It's a great tradition, right? Yeah. So today's fact of the day is in some areas of Spain, the Christmas shitting log will shit you some presents on Christmas Eve.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Flesh, fauna, Megan, the podcast, ZM. Gosh. Woo! She was a close one. We just heard before the show this morning that there was a crisis averted in the producer's booth. We'll cross to the producer's booth now

with main crisis averter executive intern, Anya. Kia ora, good morning. And her wing woman in crisis aversion, Mountie at the social media desk. Good morning. Good morning. Now, that can only mean one person was on a crash course with disaster.

It me. It you, producer Jared. Tell us what happened. I believe you were searching for a Christmas gift for the new... Middy. Middy, the new girlfriend. I'm still currently looking for a Christmas gift for the new... Middy. Middy, the new girlfriend. I'm still currently looking for a Christmas gift for the Middy.

I was leaning towards some kind of sparkly jewellery. Okay. And then I got screamed at not to buy anything heart-shaped. Yeah, it's not the sparkly that's the problem. He was browsing at heart-shaped jewellery. Were you going to buy one of those love hearts that goes jaggedy down and one heart? Best friends forever.

Yeah, best friends forever or something like that. Not like a jewellery version, but a keychain version I'd be open to getting, but... My dude. Oh, young Padwan. So much to learn. Okay. No, that's kind of cute.

You just laughed at me. I felt bad for the alarming i tried to make up for it she has um heart earrings so i was like oh she likes hearts i'll see what is available okay i hadn't locked anything in right and henny and mountie just came in real hot don't buy heart shaped jewelry there's yeah literally a tweet i, that goes viral every year that's like, your girlfriend doesn't want heart-shaped jewellery, I promise you. Just generally to steer away from. Necklaces, earrings. This is news to me.

So we've got Hayley in who's going to fill in when Megan's away on maternity leave. You were here early when we were talking before the show. And that's when you said that you were once gifted something. This is the fun, like being thrown under the bus. You never give a private conversation

away. The thing is, I've never actually admitted it straight to his face. I thought you had. With the way you were telling the story, it was such passion. I was like, oh, you dealt with this. And I was saying it with love, having recently been bought an engagement ring. So that's made up for it. But within the first year of my relationship with my partner,

this is with 10 years we've been together. Okay. He bought me a steampunk ring made out of the inner workings of a clock. So how big was it? It was like, you know, the old 50 cent coins? Yeah. It was that big. Oh, no one's wearing that.

I wore it for a whole year before I, like, eventually and slowly, politely faded it out. Of rotation. Yeah. And do you know what's crazy is we, we're moving house and we were, you know, donating some stuff to the Sally's just the other day. I finally put it in a box to the Salvation Army. I felt so bad. I was going to say, can I get my Auntie Eve's into steampunk?

Ten years. She goes through the dress ups and everything. Well, if you go to the Salvation Army on Dominion Road, you might find it there. Wow. You can't miss it, I swear. So what did it look like? 50 cent size. What colour was it?

Spray painted? No, it was silver, like gold and copper it was all the inner things and it had all these little cogs you know yeah you know how steampunks love cogs yeah that's a commitment yeah and and that's all we wanted to talk about right now if somebody's given you a really bad gift and because you felt bad you just had to keep it or keep wearing it. You used it. You wore it. Yep. Like bad jewellery, bad clothing. That's love.

That is. Sometimes you can be blinded and be like, well, it's from them, so I love it. Yes. The worst part is all the coggy bits used to sort of catch on my clothes. And we'd like buff it over it, Hayley, and you'd keep going back. No, no. She's getting it on her chest. This is therapeutic.

Let the woman tell her cog stories. A ring should not have cogs. Like, it shouldn't. Unless something is working on cogs, cogs should not be used in a decorative fashion. No. So we want to know from you, when somebody gave you a present,

you didn't like it, but you kept wearing it or you kept it anyway and pretended to like it. Okay, we're getting a lot of messages. This could be quite confronting if you're listening and you've given one of these gifts. Yes.

Because somebody messaged in saying, my ex-daughter-in-law got me one of those cup and saucers that were glued together on a stick that you stuck in the ground and you put bird seed in the top. Oh, yeah. Now, they were a big deal five Christmases ago.

Yeah, that was a big deal. Everyone was getting their boomer, one of those. Yeah. I hated it, but I put it up. But all it ever turned into was the cat would use it and just sit in a bush underneath the bush near it when a bird landed on it, the cat would jump out and eat the boomer.

So it was like a bird eradication tool in the end. Anonymous, what present did you use even though you didn't like it? I was gifted a beautiful gold necklace that had his name on it. Oh, had his name on it?

Name, and it was about a centimetre and a half high by almost 10 centimetres long. Oh, wow. He was branding you. Yeah, branding you like an old cow or something. Yeah. That's how I start wearing it.

Yeah. Was he worried that you'd forget his name? I don't know. How early on in the relationship was this? We were about 15. Sorry, how old? 15? Yeah, about 15. Sorry, how old? 15? Yeah, about 15, 16.

I'm almost willing to forgive he's maybe not had a lot of female guidance in the gift area there. I'd blame his parents. I'd blame his mother. Yeah. Thanks Anonymous. When did you get a present that you didn't like but you used it anyway just to be like, see, I like it?

Olivia, what happened? Hi, guys. I got a Karcher window back. Oh, my God. I want one. My mom gave me one of these. It's legit. Yeah, those are good.

Wait, is it from, like, a romantic partner, though? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but were you always bitching about condensation? Mouldy curtains and such. I mean, this is a great practical gift. I love practical gifts. I've always wanted one of these. That's great fun.

My sister's got one. Right. You sound, I'm just saying, you sound ungrateful. No, I don't use it. What? I don't use it, but you know, we were about to have our first baby. We can't have a wet house if you're having a baby. No.

God, this guy sounds great. I'll marry him. I agree with Olivia. You're about to, like, have your first baby. Like, you need something, like, special. I needed a massage. I couldn't even touch my toes. Oh.

But then when he gets to a culture. You don't need to bend to the ground to clean the windows, Olivia. Just get the back. Good answer. You do to get the back. Good answer. You know to get the full length of it. So he wasn't in trouble. You just used it and pretended to like it. Yeah, I still do.

I'll play with it now. What a break. Brilliant. Olivia, thanks. You called some text messages to finish off. Somebody said, I so agree with no hearts. My husband's bought me two heart-shaped necklaces.

The first one I lost. Yep. Lost. And hatch converters. Is that still a thing? Do people still go through that? Just take your driver's licence in. It's a proof you didn't steal it.

The second I would wear just on holidays for the first couple of years so it didn't hurt his feelings so he'd see me wearing it on special days. But I was very nervous that he'd continue to buy me

heart-shaped stuff. I did eventually say that heart-shaped stuff weren't really my thing and he said, but what about your nana's locket? And she had to say, well, that's different

because that was hers and it's an heirloom and stuff. It was hard to explain it. He's still a little bit sensitive about it all these years later. Oh, buddy. But I am laughing

out loud at this morning's show. Nice PSA. Don't buy heart-shaped stuff. Yeah, good. Somebody else said, when I was about 15 or 16, my boyfriend at the time gave me a framed close-up glamour shot of him at the beach. That was Hayley.

For a good six months, I kept it up in my room on the wall, even though I hated it. And then he broke up with me through text to be with my best friend. So we put makeup on the photo and threw darts at it that night. Gosh, that was fun being a dramatic teenager. I don't know many guys that would do a glamour shoot on the beach. Yeah. I'm kind of interested to see it. Do you remember when your two best friends did a glamour shoot on the beach? Yeah. I'm kind of interested to see it.

No. Do you remember when your two best friends did a glamour shot for you and you didn't take it? Yeah. That's in a better place. I don't know where it is, but it's in a better place. It's in the studio to be re-gifted to the Prime Minister tomorrow. Yeah, she's getting that.

She'll love it. She'll put it up in the Prime Minister's office. She'll actually like it. No, I'm not included in that. Yeah, well, that'll teach you for taking it, if you're not taking it. Someone said, my wife's Dutch, a.k.a. very honest. We've all met a blunt Dutchie, haven't we?

And a Dutch blunt. In our first year of dating, I got her a heart-shaped necklace. She told me she hated it. She never wore it, and she still gives me shit about it. That's when I knew she was the one, and she would never lie to me ever again. For our engagement ring, I just got her a diamond and let her design the ring because she would have told me she'd hated it if I hadn't.

That's a great idea. Ruthless. Yeah, people putting up with all sorts of things. That's the thing. If they grin and bear through it, they might like your gift or they might hate it, but they like you. Yeah, that's the main thing. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
