And the baby has been born. The baby's name is Lyra. Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sharon. Seaborn was Sherry's last name. Yeah. I didn't know that. I just thought it was Antarctica Seaborn. Last.

But Antarctica New Zealand, the official Facebook page of Antarctica New Zealand, has just shared, Ed Sheeran and his wife Sherry welcomed their firstborn into the world last week, and her Facebook page of Antarctica New Zealand have just shared, Ed Sheeran and his wife Sherry welcomed their firstborn into the world last week and her middle name is

Antarctica. Massive congratulations from our Antarctic whanau to the Sheerans. Oh, I bet they've absolutely jazzed on that. In celebration of babies, here's one of Antarctica's cutest, maybe we could name him Ed. And it's an Antarctic fur seal.

They are very cute. It does look like a cute little egg. That's an Antarctic fur seal. They are very cute. Very cute. It does look like a cute little Ed. That's an odd name though, eh? Antarctica. Antarctica. It must have some kind of meaning to them. I love names that are places.

Like that's Indies. Indiana. Sydney or something. Sydney. Like Paris. New Delhi. Yeah. Mumbai.

That would actually be A great name for twins Yeah Trinidad and Tobago North and South Dakota I want to go with Dakota Dakota's a great name I know I wanted to call

August Dakota That was one of the names On the possibility But why didn't you? Because we already had Indiana. So Sade's like, we can't have two US states. Oh, yeah. Then you would look like US fanatics.

Yeah. So we went for a time and a place. So August is the time and Indy's the place. Oh, cute. Nice. Well, we wait with bated breath to see what Megan calls her, Lorenz. Will it be a place name? I don't know.

Or will it be Lorenz? Give the people what they want. Give the people what they want. Give the people what they want. I hope it's a girl just so there's no pressure for Lorenz. Lorenz is a completely unisexual name. Yeah. I'll be disappointed if it's anything other than Lorenz. Have I ever put a gender on Lorenz?

Yes. I've always imagined he's a he. He's a high-maintenance little man. Yeah. I'm pretty sure I've been, oh, maybe, maybe, but Lorenz could easily be female. Right. Either way.

Well, up to you, Megan. Up to you. It's not going to be Lorenz. And I will only call it Lorenz. Please stop calling our baby Lisa Lorenz. Lisa! I'm sorry, little Lorenz. Your mother did this.

Wow. You'll only ever be known as the rents Alright enjoy the podcast ZM Hit music lives here Flesh fauna Megan the podcast You hurt yourself mate I don't know you know every now and then you might get a

Just a zap in the palm there. Is that luck? Is that luck? Yeah. I mean, you can say anything's luck. Yep. I'll take it as luck. It's luck.

Definitely luck. Yeah. On the show today, we've got your chance again to win cash. Our 50K fact of the day. All thanks to Save My Bacon. Make sure you're listening at 8.25. The top six is on the way. Yeah, the top six ways to introduce potatoes to breakfast.

Potato toast. Maybe the breakfast trend that could save 2020. This is a new breakfast trend. Yeah. And I'm all about it. This sounds delicious. So you parboil some potatoes. Yep. Have is a new breakfast trend. Yeah. And I'm all about it. This sounds delicious. So you parboil some potatoes. Yep.

Have to be a biggie. Yep. And then you slice it and you pop that slice in the toaster and then you toast it and it crisps. So basically you're eating sort of a fry situation for breakfast. Breakfast.

How good. But I've got the top six other ways to introduce potatoes to your breakfast. As if we needed any more. Yeah. Well, there's one thing that can save us now. It's the odd spot. The humble spot.

Also, joining us on the show today, we're going to talk OnlyFans. Renee Gracie is the 0.01. She's in the top percentage of earners for OnlyFans. Now, she was the first female V8 supercar driver. Yeah. And now... Found it really sexist and didn't make as much money and stuff, so she ditched that.

And in June, she made, if this article's correct, she made $500,000 alone in just a month. That is nuts. She said she was on track to pay off her 30-year mortgage in one year. Just like uploading some photos of yourself onto an app.

That is nuts. But yeah, it's been in the news, of course, this week. OnlyFans. Yeah, the rules are changing after Bella Thorne went on there,

so we thought we would chat to Renee Gracie to give us a rundown on what being on OnlyFans is really like. Yeah, I'm going to ask her if she's really rich. I'm going to ask her if it's true. If she earned... Writing's on the wall. Yeah, if you earn half a million dollars

in one month, then you're really rich. Yeah. She's on the show today. Next though. Oh, we are under attack. Cyber attack. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Ah, gosh. I don't know if you guys have been following this NZS

NZSX or NZX? NZX. The hacking. Yeah, we've been there. It's been hard to get going because they've been hacked so many times. It's a DDOS. It's a distributed denial of service. Which is where they

send heaps of data and it overloads the system, basically. Yes, it overwhelms a target website with fake traffic. So that's what's happened to the NZX. They've found it really hard to trade and stuff, and that's not good. Yeah, because I was like, well, I don't care when I saw this in the news.

And then I was like, oh, we've all got KiwiSaver, so we probably should care. Because our fund managers can't buy and sell and look after our shares. I was like, is it because everybody's jealous

of how well New Zealand's doing? Oh yeah, maybe. That's one of the speculated theories behind it. It's because our share market

was apparently going to be doing good and then... Yeah, it was having like a boom a week last week. And then the attack started happening. So they don't know whether or not it's like some other government being like, just knock them down a peg or two.

That's so Kiwi of that other government. I know. You know what they'd do if it was us, that knock us down a peg or two with that tall poppy syndrome they do so well. So you know what else has been attacked? Met Service. Oh, no. Is it still working?

I don't know. I know you popped in Met Service. Why? They wanted to know the weather before everyone else. Oh, do you know? It was the first day of spring yesterday, so maybe they wanted our spring temperatures. Have we got...

Nuts, it's all up and running. Okay. Well, if they're after our weather information, has anybody got eyes on Renee Wright and Dan Corbett? I don't want them missing. They even go to the end of the news and they're like, oh, and they're after our weather information, has anybody got eyes on Renee Wright and Dan Corbett? I don't want them missing. They go to the end of the news and they're like, oh, and what's happening with the weather, Renee? And it just goes to a blank screen.

And then there's just silence. I think alarms would be raised before they were like, what's happening, Renee? Or it goes to Renee and she's standing there, she's like, great news, comrade. Mother Russia weather, great from east to west. Moscow, beautiful. He would have been like, that's not

right. I'm actually on the MetService website right now. It's working fine. I will tell you right now, the coldest place in the country is minus 4.2 Moscow. Yeah. Chili over.

Are you sure, though, or is that Russian propaganda? Well, Mozgiel. Ugh. Oof. Yeah. Chile. Chile over. Three in Christchurch. Are you sure, though, or is that Russian propaganda? Well, I don't know. How do we know anymore? I don't know. They might have taken over our thermometers. Oh, man. What if they have?

They've hacked our mercury. Wow. Yeah. But they had a backup website, didn't they, the Met Service? So they were, because apparently this has happened before. Good for them. I was reading. I don't know why you'd attack a Met Service website.

I know, there's definitely more fun websites to hack, surely. I don't understand any aspect of hacking and what the deal is. But yeah, apparently in 2000, it's happened multiple times to the Met Service, but apparently in 2011, it was hacked. Now, the ad server was compromised by a malicious attack through a vulnerability which allowed someone to upload a binary file into the database. Anybody?

Anybody still with us? Anybody? I'm just checking. I'm just checking. What you're talking about. Someone could break that down word by word. I know what we know that. That means buying a server

I've heard compromised. I could go one of two ways on the meaning of that. Yeah. Yeah, no, it starts to get a little bit complicated.

A little bit complicated in this blog I'm reading. Okay, well, I don't know. Metsevers said install Norton. Have they installed Norton? I don't know if it's a Norton antivirus or something.

It might be a McAfee. A McAfee. It might be a McAfee job. Or something. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. There's been a study of Kiwi audiences and what they're watching and listening to and news consumption habits for 2020.

I mean, 2020 has been a bit of a roller coaster. A dumpster fire, Megan. Anyway. But YouTube, Netflix and Facebook are overtaking most local platforms. Like television. Who even watches television? I watch television the other day. I watch The Chase.

The Chase. Oh, my God. There was such a good chase yesterday. Oh, I didn't see last night's. Why didn't you message? No, I saw the during the day one. Oh, my God, that was such a good chase yesterday. Oh, I didn't see last night's. No, I saw the during the day one. Oh, yeah. Isn't that a neat one? One lady won 70,000 pounds by herself.

They were like, this is the biggest prize for one person ever. I was just like, oh, my God. Who was she? What did she do for a job? Was she an old school teacher? She wanted money for pottery classes. Sweetheart, that's so much pottery. Also, it's so funny watching the chase

when they're like, I'm going to take my wife on a lovely cruise. And you're like, oh, sweetheart, I hope you got that cruise in. What were we talking about? Oh,

normal TV. Yeah, they've got the chase. Good question. I wonder how many chase contestants were held up on COVID cruises.

All of them because it's all what they seem to do. I went to France once I'd love to go back. Take my wife. Some of the shit they say is weird. I'd like to renovate the bathroom. I've always been interested

in Egypt. I've seen many photos of the pyramids. I've always been interested in Egypt. I've seen many photos of the pyramids. I'd love to take my wife. And then right at the end, Bradley has to say, you're not going to the pyramids, are you, love? And then the chaser will say something like real sassy, be like, the only triangle thing you're going to see is the... Toblerone in your mouth.

Yeah. But you buy yourself from the off-licence. Is this a good ad for the chase? It's a great ad. Live TV? It's a great ad for live TV. So YouTube is the most popular site or channel among Kiwis.

Say how much time we're spending Well 51% of the overall New Zealand audience is what YouTube is garnering. But I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised. That's why I paid for the premium because I got sick of the ads. My kids watch more YouTube than I ever watched TV on a whole.

Yeah, right. But that's good because they keep quiet when they're doing that, don't they? It's like a babysitter. Yeah, they do. But like, oh, okay. So I just went into YouTube and clicked on what's been searched. Yep. They might be quiet, but you've got to put up with stuff like this.

Let's let the sweet times continue. If you guys watched one of my previous... That's Cookie Swoop. No, this is what I'm saying. Gotcha edits. Right, okay. His hair's looking so cute. Maybe pull it out.

Oh, you have to hear this. Headphones. Spawn headphones. Not as harsh. Constantly. Oh, you have to hear this. Headphones. Headphones. Constantly. Horrible. There might be, put the headphones in and then you'll hear it on the TV. You're like, why aren't you watching that on the iPad?

The iPad's battery is flat. Plug it in. Plug it in. What are you? Come on. Plug it in. Cookie well, sweet. Today I'm going to be making some slams.

This is what you've got to look forward to, Megan, when little Lorenz is on YouTube. Yeah, TVNZ1 placed second, 44% of the audience. And half of that's the chase. Most of that will be the chase. And the 1pm briefing right now. Yeah, totally. Everybody's tuning in.

Hey, guys. What? The chase is on YouTube. They've got an official channel. Oh, they did a... I feel like you shouldn't say that because TVNZ. Well, they cancelled my show. I've still got one.

Yours is on demand. Yours is the next generation. Okay. We're up against bloody Taronga Zoo or something. You don't. Everyone wants to see what the suna Zoo or something. Aw, you don't. Everyone wants to see what the sunbears are doing. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six.

Do you want to see what the rest of the team want to do? I think you're better than the £4,000, obviously, that you've got in the cash building round, but 70 is going to be hard. And don't take the negative. We need you back here. We need you back here for the final round. I like when someone on the chase,

still talking about the chase, when someone on the chase gets like two questions right in the cash building round, they're like, we need you back here you don't that's shit house you'd be better off without them

because they're gonna in that beat where someone's thinking they're gonna be like pass pass you don't need them you watch

way too much chase if you get under four thousand in the cash builder you're not required for the final round whoa harsh I would have said that that's only four questions right that's a lot of time $4,000 in the cash builder, you're not required for the final round. Whoa, harsh.

I would have said that. Only four questions right. That's a lot of time. I've broken it down. Welcome back here. Right. Top six. Potato toast.

It's apparently the breakfast food that's going to save 2020. Grab it by the collar. Yeah. A new trend. Megan, you're saying that kumara toast. Kumara toast for like, yeah, it's been a paleo thing. It's a paleo treat. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. You have a potato toast. You can parboil it and then chuck it in the toaster and you can put anything on it. Yeah. So how long do you boil it? Like five minutes? Just so it's kind of soft-ish enough that it's not. Yeah.

That you can cut it. You wouldn't want it like soggy. Ten minutes's not that you can cut it you wouldn't want it like soggy ten minutes is your mashing territory you certainly wouldn't want it that sloppy

and a kumara can go sloppy quicker than a potato and then just straight into the toaster yeah and oh eat up your kumara toast and then you go and

listen to Pete Evans talk some bullshit paleo great um so it sounds pretty good and I'm pretty keen to try this, but you'd need a big potato, like one of those ones that gives you a really long French fry

that when you pull the chip out, you're like, this must have been a huge potato. Do you want a girthy and long kumara, I reckon? That would be your perfect one. What would you do with the, I mean, if you cut it thick enough, if you've got a girthy enough one, you could cut the, you could put the thinner bits in the other slice for the toast, right? Yeah, or just save those for, I don't know, later.

Yeah. Dinner or something. Yeah. Make some wedges. Put them in a dish with some water and hope they sprout. Yeah, sure. And then find them in the garden. No one's doing that.

The top six other ways to introduce potatoes to your breakfast. Because maybe potato toast isn't for you. Number six, potato flakes. Corn flakes except potato. Yuck. Could that be a thing? Yeah,

if you cook them in oil. Are you just saying have chips? Chippies for breakfast. Sounds like it, doesn't it? Number five on the list of the top six ways

to introduce potatoes to your breakfast, porridge. Right. That's porridge made of potatoes. Yuck. Number five on the list of the top six ways to introduce potatoes to your breakfast, potorridge. Right. That's porridge made of potatoes. Is that a smashed potato? Yes, Megan. That's basically just smashed potato.

All of these things are just already existing potato recipes with new names. Right. So instead of brown sugar, you'd have gravy. Sauce or gravy. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Or Worcestershire sauce. Number four on the list of the top six other ways to introduce potatoes to your breakfast,

potato pancakes. Okay. Probably just hash browns. Oh, yeah. Hashcakes. Yeah. I mean, goddammit, potatoes. Stop being so versatile.

Yeah, they're great. Number three on the list of the top six ways to introduce potatoes to your breakfast, potato bacon. Okay. What's potato bacon? Just basically a french fry, I think. Like a thicker. Yeah.

Like a really yum, thick cut chip. Number two on the list of the top six other ways to introduce potatoes to your breakfast. The full English potato. Okay. So you have a potato sausage. Yeah. You have the potato bacon, as previously mentioned. Potato mushrooms.

Yeah. Lots of potatoes just taking on the different role of the different members of the full English breakfast and the number one, and I do believe this is not an existing okay number one on the top six other ways to introduce potatoes to your breakfast cocoa pot potatoes

so you make right I don't know if you'd grate the potato or you'd First, Cocoa Pop-Tatoes. So you make... Right. I don't know if you'd grate the potato or you'd cut it into small cubes. Right. Coat it in cocoa. Sounds filthy.

And eat it. That's Cocoa Pop-Tatoes. Thank you, Potato, for your humble service to all meals, including breakfast. That is today's top six. Flesh, fauna, Megan. The podcast. ZM. Well, a study's been conducted by a microbiology

team at the London Metro University and it's looked at items left in cars and the germs on them. Oh, my car's an estate at the moment. Your car is always an estate.

Your car's a petri dish It's like I mean I appreciate the rides you give me But it's getting into that seat Covered with hay It's my vaccine Every time you get in you've got to give a little Explanation as to what the latest Stitch is from

Yeah That's true But yeah at the moment She sent me a photo as to what the latest, like, snout is from. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. But, yeah, at the moment, Sade used it yesterday. She sent me a photo. She was just like, you can never comment on the state of my car.

I said, you spit the children right in your car. It's important to keep it clean. Yeah, mine's just... Well, researchers looked at 16 items and the items that had the most germs and grossness on them. Sunglasses are really bad. They found fungi on sunglasses, toxic mould on carrier bags, you know, like old plastic carrier bags, and life-threatening bacteria on coins. Are you kidding me?

Coins, that doesn't surprise me. I've known for years that coins are filthy, filthy things. Yeah. on coins. Are you kidding me? Coins, that doesn't surprise me. I've known for years that coins are filthy, filthy things. Yeah. Because did you ever have a pudding with coins in it? Yep.

Was it a trifle or something? I mean, you're supposed to boil those beforehand, right? Steamed pudding. Yeah, but I don't know in the 80s or 90s

if my auntie was doing that. But, when they changed to gold coins in 1990, Yeah. Apparently, they didn't boil well. That's what Nan told me., apparently they didn't boil well. That's what Nan told me.

Really? They didn't boil well. Why did they put money into dessert? It was like a lucky... Who got the coin? It was a Christmas tradition. I miss it. Well, don't do it because coins are not much better.

So sunglasses, gym clothes, receipts and loose change were revealed to contain bacteria that can cause infections and difficulty for people with, like, catheters and other surgical implants. Meanwhile, it suggested that glasses, sunglasses, or glasses are often highly contaminated with Staphylococcus epidermis bacteria, which can cause an infection.

You were covered in St staphylococcus all the time. Dog toys. Yeah, they're nasty and they've been in the mouth and the mouth's

touched the butthole and then they remain damp. True. Apparently, your gym clothes, if you're leaving gym clothes,

they're not as bad like they might smell. How mank is the smell when someone opens their boot and they're like, oh, sorry, my rugby gear or my gym gear. I've just been to the gym.

Why are you leaving it in there? Yuck. Yuck. I'm just thinking all those things you've named, how often would you wipe or wash them? I don't think I've ever wiped my sunglasses. No. No, because you don't, do you? You don't really, you don't wash dog toys.

But then have you, with COVID, have you been buying antibacterial wipes and stuff and you just take them out of the packet? Like just give them a wipe. Yeah. Give your phone every now and again in your sunglasses.

It's going to turn me into a major germaphobe. One of those? Yeah. I'm going to go home and wash all the dog toys. Our dog just, maybe I'll just throw them out.

Our dog, yeah, our dog just destroys them. Like they wouldn't have a chance to get too grubby because he's just like E. coli or whatever. What did you say? This thing was unbreakable. Give me 10 minutes under the orange tree. I'll have this thing in five to six pieces.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Bluff or stuff. Now the prize today, this would be great for Dad's Day. Vaughan, you're a dad, you've got one of these. I do. I really like it. Dads love it. When I get up in the weekends,

so I wake up early in the family, I'll go and sit and I'll have my toast. And I'll say, Alexa, newsflash. And it gives you a little rundown. My dad would actually love this. Yeah, sit down and be like, Alexa, weather for the next three days. I always use it because I used it this morning. I woke up and I was like, oh, it must be like 10 minutes before the alarm.

And I was like, Alexa, what's the time? And it was like, it's 2.50 a.m. And I was like, yay. Let's do it. How good is it? How good is it? I love that. And you're like, yeah. I love that. And then I was like, it's tilling. How good is it tilling? And you're like, yeah.

I love that. And then I was like. You're like, please say I have more than half an hour before I have to get up. Yeah, so good. Now, playing this. You can also like connect it to the TV and stuff. You can be like, what do you say to your. I just say lounge off and it turns everything in the lounge off.

Like we're living in the future, guys. No big deal. Sarah, good morning. Good morning. How are you guys this morning? Really good. Now, if you win this, Sarah, is this going to be for Dad for Father's Day

or for yourself? Be honest. For myself. Yeah, good. Stuff to add. All right, so one of us, Sarah, is holding the box. We're all going to tell you

that we're holding your prize. You've got to correctly identify at the end of Bluffelstuff who is holding it. Now, I'll start. It's blue. It's a cube. The box. The box is, yeah. Oh, okay.

Like the dots themselves would be only like an inch and a bit high, wouldn't they? Yeah, but you have one. This is not new news. You're just describing what you've got at home, aren't you? I'm describing the box. It's beautiful and blue. And then on the side, there's lots of logos for all the different things you can connect to. Read some of the logos.

Pandora. Yeah, there's like Spotify and smart things. I said Pandora, Sarah, because no one uses Pandora anymore. So I really wanted to drive home this. Because if I said Spotify, everybody's, you know, using that. I thought you were just being like smart things. But smart things is one of the logos on the side of the box that I'm holding. Samsung smart things.

Whatever, Megan. I can tell you it's got a security seal on the top of the box that I'm holding that is been kind of ripped open maybe a millimetre. That's a little tab that you've got to pull open the rest of it, which you can see. You'd see that if you were holding it. I can see it's right in front of me. I can see it. It's got my finger on it right now.

Okay, well what does it sound like? It sounds a lot like your piece of paper. You would say that. You're not holding it. Okay, Sarah, I want you to eliminate one of us. Who's definitely not holding the prize? I think Megan's not got it.

I have a feeling Vaughn's got it. Okay, so you want to eliminate Megan? Yeah, I don't think Megan's got it. Okay, so you want to eliminate Megan? Yeah, I don't think Megan's got it. I really think Vaughan's got it. That is incorrect. Wrong on both counts. Megan did have it. I do have it.

Megan! That's on you. I told you he didn't have the tab. It doesn't make a noise. It's just a little plastic thing. Listen. Well, if you'd done that, maybe Sarah would have known you't have the tab. It doesn't make a noise. It's just a little plastic thing. Listen. Well, if you'd done that, maybe Sarah would have known you were holding the box.

I thought it was obvious that you weren't holding it. Well, obviously, I'm a great liar or a bluffer. Sarah, unfortunately for you, the chase is over. I just love to trigger Bourne because you know how much he loves to chase. But we will. Are we going to do this again tomorrow? Because we've got to give this away for Father's Day. We should.

Papa's Day. Papa's Day. On Sunday. So I'm just saying, yeah, we better do it again. All right. You're supposed to say something like, if you think you can spot a liar, then register to be on.

Then, yeah, tomorrow. Bluff or something. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. There is a show on the BBC. It's called Your Home in Their Hands. So basically, someone takes your home

and gives it a zhuzh, a renovation. Oh, that sounds like was it Trading Places did that and that one that you were just talking about House Rules, you set the rules but then they're in charge You say to them I like ponies

and you come back and your entire house is pony themed You say something like I like a sleek, aesthetic. Minimalist. Kind of colours. Because if you said minimalist, you'd walk in and there'd be nothing. Everything takes one thing and they go to the extreme.

Yeah. What's your favourite food? Oh, I mean, pickles go with everything. What have I done? And then your rooms. Yeah, your room's a pickle theme. Couch is a pickle. Oh my God.

I can see the appeal of going on a show like this because they're going to renovate your bedroom or your house for free. But maybe not to what you would like. Yeah. Now, I mean, I wouldn't have thought going on the show it would turn out as bad as this is. But a guy named John was asked what he thought of the bedroom renovation

that they gave him. So let's, because it's very visual, let's, it's very yellow. So the window frame is all yellow. The wallpaper

is yellow and pink floral. The wardrobe has been painted baby blue. There's some kind of chandelier hanging from the centre of the room. There's, I don't know if this is a joke, but there's like, it looks like balloons or some kind of garandelier hanging from the centre of the room. There's, I don't know if this is a joke,

but it looks like balloons or some kind of garland on the headboard. It's like, you can only describe it as hideous. It is. Like, you can't even see what they were trying to do. Like, it's really missed the mark. Really not good. So this, I've just Googled more about this, your home in their hands.

Yeah. And it has been touted as the renovation home version of you know the one where they all go to somebody's house for dinner and that person narrates it? Guess who's coming to dinner? No. Another one you're talking about. Yeah.

They said it's like that sort of so maybe it's not always perfect and you get some like really unusual characters involved. Right. No. You don't want someone who's not a renov and you get some really unusual characters involved. Right. No, no. You don't want someone who's not a renovator. You want to go on your homemade perfect. We've talked about that.

The Irish guy with the virtual reality headset who always comes up with the wackiest ideas and I always really like them, but she always wins. The other one. Well, so they obviously, they did the room up on the show and then they invited the old mate.

It's the reveal. And his wife in. And this was what he had to say about this hideous room. For me, it's too busy. I wouldn't have done anything like it and I don't like it. You're supposed to be able to go to sleep in a bedroom and it's like a kid's play area. I think it looks horrendous. It doesn't look anything like a bedroom.

So, sorry, but it's big thumbs down from me. It's hideous. I think it's even too much for Rachel if she was to tell the truth. Is it, Rachel? I do like the bed and the wardrobes. I like the theme of it. So overall, you quite like it.

Do you like it at all? Don't like it at all. Definitely not. I think Rachel likes it though, John. She doesn't like it. She. Definitely not. I think Rachel likes it though, John. She doesn't like it. She doesn't. She said she doesn't mind and you just twisted her words. Oh, my God.

The host was really trying to get some kind of positive out of that. So overall, you quite like it. What I'm airing is you want us to do the old house theme. But we wanted to ask this morning if there's been a time when you've done at home like some decorating or a reno and then, because that's the thing, when you choose like to paint something,

then you paint it, you're like, oh, what have I done? You couldn't like, there could be a lot of regret. Yeah. You're like, yeah, I think a yellow walls would be great. Everyone fancies themselves as a bit of a home decorator until. And the problem is we watch all these shows, don't we? And we think, oh, well, this is what we need. We need a feature wall.

And so you paint a lavender purple feature wall and then you step back and you're like, what have I done? How many people have had to paint over a feature wall? Remember in like the mid 2000s, everybody was like, yeah, you've got to do a feature wall? Remember in like the mid-2000s, everybody was like, yeah, you've got to do a drastic wall. Yeah, like lime green. Yeah. And now they just look at those walls and be like, you son of a bitch.

What have I done? You are the mince and cheese haircut of walls. And I am ashamed to say that you are still hanging around. So 0800DARLS.M, give us a call now. When did you regret a decorating job that you did or a renovation? Talking about a reno show in the UK where a man is not happy with his bedroom that's been renovated. Yellow, floral, blue, pink.

It's hideous. So we've asked you this morning if you've regretted a decorating choice Floral, blue, pink. Yeah, it's hideous. Yeah. So we've asked you this morning if you've regretted a decorating choice that you've made or a reno that you've done. Yeah. Some text messages in. We decided when we were renovating our bathroom to do an interest piece wall. They don't go into details of what their interest piece was particularly, but with some Googling, I've seen

it's like when you stick a whole lot of somethings to your wall. Like seashells in the bathroom. Because you know, people always love a beachy theme for the bathroom. I don't know what their interest piece was, but they would go on to say it was okay for a bar, not for home. So you know

how bars sometimes try to have an interesting toilet? Yeah, right. So I'm imagining because in my head there was a bar once that had a whole lot of cassette tapes stuck to the wall. Oh yeah.

Some shells. Yeah. Yeah. And then like they start falling off. Yeah, the longevity of it. Speaking of longevity, this text just reads

aquarium. I did question the longevity of building our lounge around it. Was assured it would be timeless. It is now empty. Yeah, right. What do you do in an aquarium, especially if it's your main?

Because I've seen some of the, when they are built into a wall, like between, yeah. That's a big commitment to always have fishes though, and they're really hard to keep alive. You could drain it and have a lizard. You could go between. Yeah, maybe. A lizard.

Need some heat lights in there. This is a real feature. A lizard. Your lizard feature. And then you're the lizard person so I don't know if that's something you're happy. My husband's mother

talked him into using some wallpaper in our house that was left over from their old family home to pay homage to their family home. That shit is nasty. Yeah.

Where are you putting that? And also old wallpaper doesn't... Is wallpaper even... Do people use that anymore? Yeah. Really? Is it like made a comeback? No.

All right. Louise, what was the home reno or decoration choice that you regretted? Oh, morning, guys. Morning. So, first renovation of our first house we bought here. My ex-husband decided that we needed some new plasterboard and so he cut bits out and put new bits in

and then his plastering was just, oh, it was terrible. Right. So, me and my wisdom of interior designing went to Mitre 10 and got some big sort of paint mixed up with all this horrible gritty sand in it and we painted the whole house in this kind of putty pink. Oh, gosh, it was so awful. With sand in it? Sand, yeah, like a textured look.

And every time you'd walk past, if you caught your elbow or your knuckle or something, you just took the skin off. Literally like sandpaper. So you every time you'd walk past, if you caught your elbow or your knuckle or something, you just took skin off. Literally like sandpaper. So you made your walls into sandpaper, yeah. Literally, it was like living in the bloody Sahara. Right, okay. And how long did that last, Louise? What, the marriage or the paper?

Both. Oh, both. The house and the husband are gone. Oh, wow. Wait, did somebody buy a house with sandpaper walls? Well, before we sold the house, even though we were really angry at each other because we were getting divorced,

we did redecorate in a lovely magnolia sandpaper paint instead. Oh, Jesus. Louise, step away from the paintbrush and bucket of sand. Brilliant, Louise. Thanks, Nicole. Thomas, when did you regret paintbrush and bucket of sand. Brilliant, Louise. Thanks, you're cool. Thomas, when did you regret your Reno and decorating choices? So when I was young, we did a bit of a home Reno in our family home. And I was given the opportunity with my brother to tear down one of the walls.

Okay. And basically what happened is I put a few too many hammer holes in a few too many walls. Okay. And basically what happened is I put a few too many hammer holes in a few too many walls. Okay. And I'm saying, yeah, so basically there's a hole in many walls in the house now. Well, you haven't fixed them. Well, we've fixed a few of them. There's probably some hidden. I know there's some hidden around the corner.

Oh, right. You just put posters or paintings over them. Pictures. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Dude. I don't know if that's really a renovation.

It's more of a... Nightmare. Yeah. Shah, what was the decorating choice you regretted? I was painting the exterior of the house. Yeah. And I left late. And I went down to the shop and I chose

Hokianga blue because I'm from the Hokianga that's up in Northland. I said, yeah. And this is from that Resine colour range, whatever it is, Dulux or Resine

and that's the colours of New Zealand. Colours of New Zealand, that's the one. They've also got Opononi white. But anyway, Hokianga blue

and I came home and I saw the piece of tarpaulin on the ground and I went tarpaulin paint, tarpaulin paint. So now I call it tarpaulin blue. It is that bright. Oh, it's like one of those blue tarpaulins that you buy.

Oh, that's quite something. And so every time you look at your house, you're like, oh, no. I'm just going, you know what? It takes a while to get's quite something. And so every time you look at your house, you're like, oh, no. Wow. So you're one of those people that, you know, you drive past their house, you're like, who would paint their house that colour? But then sometimes I think like Someone's got a purple house

I find that enjoyable because it's not my house But somebody out there was like You know what I'll paint it purple I don't care I'm like wow what's it like having a wife That just lets you do that sort of stuff Yeah hey Sha thanks so much for your call Ali when did you regret your decorating choice Oh we were doing our bathroom

and I thought green would be a calming colour. Like a lovely mint green? Because that's kind of in at the moment. That's kind of what I had in mind, but it just didn't go that way. So we started painting it

and it honestly looked like Shrek had puked on the wall. Wow. It was horrendous. And I was like, it's okay. It's dark. We'll keep going. It'll dry. It'll look good. Yeah, it didn't. So one coat and that was it. No And I was like, it's okay. It's dark. We'll keep going. It'll dry.

It'll look good. Yeah, it didn't. So one coat and that was it. No, I can't stand it. It's got to change. Right. And what colour did you go for? White.

Oh, white. Timeless, really, isn't it? White. Much happier. Brilliant. Hey, thanks, you call, Ali. 18 past seven. Next, 10% of couples have admitted doing this in their boudoir

when getting sexy. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM. 10% of couples say they turn the lights off when make it live. Make it live. And they don't do it probably for the reason

you think of, or this is the reason that they're saying. They turn the lights off to cut the power bill. 10% of people turn the lights off to save their own power. Here is the... But surely like 60% of people turn the lights off, but 10% of people just said it was to save power. Yeah. So males were more likely to want to keep the lights on.

Yeah. Really? So therefore the females are the ones that are saying, oh yeah, it's to keep the lights on. Yeah. Really? So therefore, the females are the ones that are saying, oh, yeah, it's to cut the electricity bill. But do you think it's because they're self-conscious and they don't want to say they're self-conscious? Yeah, totally self-conscious. I agree.

We're very visual creatures, aren't we? Yeah. Males, we like to see everything that's happening. Yeah. But you don't want studio lights or bright lights. Oh, I know. I love the hum of a fluorescent bulb. I love the hum of a kitchen-grade fluorescent.

Right. But, like, a candle's a happy medium. Yeah, that's it. Some lovely candles. No, fire risk. Not like tea lights. Like a good glass candle. No, I'm always flinging pillows around.

Some really weird insight. Spraying propellants. Yeah, you like to spray fly spray, don't you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just randomly around the place. Anything can catch fire. Sometimes I'll have a tank of kerosene in my mouth and I'll just be like swinging wildly, spraying the kerosene.

Because you do your fire sticks, don't you? Yes, I do, I do. Do my poi, do my fire poi. Yeah't you? Yes, I do. I do. Do my poi. Do my fire poi. Yeah. That's quite an interesting insight. Because, yeah, I would lean more towards saying that the females were kind of lying as to their reasoning. But then a lot of people, the study also goes into a lot of people were doing heaps of things in the dark now in order to save power. Because I shower in the dark quite often.

You do? Because I kind of like it. I kind of like it. You are such a power tight ass. No, it's not that. I'm just kind of used to it now. It's not pitch black. But you've got to have a... No, I don't shower in the morning.

So at night you shower in the dark? Yeah. At least have a candle on. Sometimes I have a candle. That would be quite nice. But not in the dark have a candle on? You know, sometimes I have a candle. Oh, see, that's all right. It's quite nice. That would be quite nice. But not in the dark.

You'll take a tumble. You get into that age where you could have a tumble. It's not pitch black. There's like lights from outside and stuff. Or fall on a shampoo bottle. But you notoriously. Not the box. You notoriously.

Amitai us with power. Yeah, like you'll only put your heat pump on in winter for the free power hour. And that's it. Yeah, that you'll only put your heat pump on in winter for the free power hour and that's it. Yeah, that's a treat. But I'm also like saving the planet because I'm being conservative with my power consumption. Nah, nah, you're not. Not in the shower. But I'm not as bad.

Okay, I'm not as bad. Some people in the study said that they were working, like doing work with a torch or on their laptop and using a torch. No. Using torches instead of turning the light on. We don't have to get to that kind of level of power saving. But some people might like it. Also, your laptop's lit. You don't need a torch to work.

Maybe a torch on your paperwork beside it or something. Oh, no, that's ridiculous. Yeah. That's ridiculous. That's ridiculous. Have we talked about the electric Kiwi ad where they sing? Maybe off-air where it's been a disgusted link. We've not really talked about it on air.

I feel it needs to poke its head up. Now, were they trying to do... I mean, it's working in the fact that I've talked about this quite a bit. And so you've recalled it, yeah. Yeah. Which would mean that's an effective ad. Yes. But did they mean to sound bad or were they actually trying?

No, you can tell by their faces they're trying. It's electric kiwi. It's a something, something. And that little girl's just like, oh, no. What did you do this for, Dad? Yeah. And there's a bald dude with beards. There's over-representation in that ad.

I'm not happy that they're dragging my people into it. Your people. Yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Well, flicks.co.nz have done some research, a study into what we've been watching in our lockdowns. Okay. Now, I mean, most of these, I reckon most people will be all over,

but there might be a chance for you to pick up a show maybe you haven't seen. If you've got a, because I just finished Gangs of London. I hate that moment when you finish something you've been binging and then there's that feeling of loss. I know, that's a sign of a good show. That's a sign that you've just watched a good show. Where to now? Because I'm just like, well, what's going to...

And then I'm like looking and I'm like, well, it's not going to be as good as that. Yeah. So, yeah, it's hard. It's a good plug for, what is it, Gangs of London? Yeah. Okay. Really good.

You just started watching that, didn't you? Are you... Oh, yeah, it's great. It's so good, it's so good. Do we want TV shows or movies? you? Are you hooked? Oh, yes. Great. So good. So good. Do we want TV shows or movies? The biggest TV shows or movies during lockdown, New Zealand's lockdown. Go movies first. Movies first.

Movies first. Moana at number 10. Booksmart, number nine. That was a great movie, Booksmart. That's a good movie. Yeah, yeah. Knives Out, number eight. That's a good movie.

I feel like it didn't get enough attention. It's got so many famous people on it. Rian Johnson. Is that the mystery, the murder mystery? Yeah, the murder mystery. And Daniel Craig's in it. Yeah. Chris Evans.

Haven't seen that yet. Avengers 7, Frozen 2 at number six. During the middle of a pandemic, the most fifth watched movie by New Zealanders in lockdown, Contagion. Yeah. Yes. Which you watched, didn't you?

I found it a bit too confronting. Yeah, I was like... But then it gets to a point where they definitely get worse than us. So you're like, oh, we're not that bad. Yet. Yet.

Parasite, number four. I still haven't watched that. No, neither. That was the one that won the best picture this year, didn't it? The Oscars. Train to Busan is number three. That's an old...

Train to Busan came in like 2016. Lots of these came out ages ago. It just went on streaming. Yeah, it just went on streaming, so that's why we watched it. Apparently it's pretty good. Onward, which is... That's a Pixar movie, isn't it?

Onward? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Disney Pixar. Yeah. And the most watched movie during lockdown in New Zealand was Extraction. I was going to say that Chris Hemsworth one.

Yeah, that was good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. That was a hot watch. Not just hot because he's attractive, but hot. Great action. Yeah. Yeah. I've never watched it. Also broken it down for those that have been in level three Aucklanders, the most watched

movie there was the Netflix Charlize Theron action pick The Old Guard. I liked that. It's good action. I liked it. It wasn't as good as Extraction. With Chris Hemsworth. Yeah, it was good. TV shows the most watched during New Zealand's lockdown. The entire country. Succession 10.

I haven't watched but I've heard it's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's a slow burner kind of a series. That's on now. The Witcher number 9. Witcher, number nine. Lucifer, number eight. Money Heist at seven. That's the one I watched. That's the one I watched.

Yeah, you were raving about that, weren't you? So good. And you watched in Espanol with subtitles. I watched in Espanol with subtitles. Si, senor. See, I think I'm going to have to do that because I don't like when they dub over shows and it's out of sync and it just annoys me so much.

Number six, Umbrella Academy. Five. I haven't watched any of these so far. Friends. Have you watched Friends? No. Again? I've been tempted. Community at four. Normal People at number three, which was I think a TVNZ On Demand is where I

watched it. It's a good show. Yeah, I haven't watched that. That's really good. Ozark at number two. Latest season. And they've just announced that next season will be the last season of Ozark. Yeah, I've never watched that. That's really good. Ozark at number two. Latest season of it. And they've just announced that next season will be the last season of Ozark. Yeah, they're about to start filming it. And Tiger King. Oh, Tiger King, yeah, of course. Which feels like forever ago, right? Yeah, it does.

It feels like a long time ago. I feel like it's taken them a while to crunch these numbers and get these stats out. Wow. But yeah, those were kind of the... And that's pretty cool that that's all the streaming services there. Yeah, it's taking into account everything. It's not just a press release from one streaming service. Mm.

Wow. Good list of shows to... Yeah, so maybe there's something there that you can put on the list. Next on the show... Renee Gracie. She is in the top 0.01% of earners on OnlyFans. I'm going to ask her if it's true because this news article that we're quoting

says she made $500,000 in June alone just from putting up pics on OnlyFans. That's nuts. Well, yeah, you can ask her. That's half a million dollars. Well, apparently she's going to pay off her mortgage in a year. So I'd say that number sounds right. All right. We've got a lot of questions about this.

We're going to chat to her next. We're joined on the phone by Australia's first female V8 supercar driver, and she is also massive on OnlyFans. Good morning, Renee Gracie. Good morning. I'm a big fan of V8 supercars, so this was awesome that you were doing it, but you got out of this field of work because it was sexist and expensive, and correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, no, you're right. Keep going. You put it on the list, it'll probably be true. Yeah, it was tough. It's not an industry for a female. They don't make it easy, that's for sure. That's such a shame because I loved knowing that there was females doing it and killing it. And then, well, I mean, if it sucks, then of course get out of it. But you just, there's no support with it. What happened?

Yeah, so it does get tough. And I think it's on every aspect in regards to, you know, getting sponsorship and then obviously just trying to be different from your teammates and people treating you differently as well. And it's literally everything you do right from the start of the journey, you are obviously different. And a lot of people think that when you do something like that, because you are different, you're going to be handed everything on a silver platter. And it's actually the complete opposite, especially in that industry. So for, yeah, seven years or something, it did get to the point where I got over it.

I lost my passion for it. People, it wasn't just about racing. It was, you know, about me, how I looked, my image, my weight, all of that sort of stuff. So I think it was when I got to the age where I was old enough to sort of, you know, when I was 20, 21 and I've just gone, you know what, like I don't need this in my life. That's when it all started to sort of, you know, when I was 20, 21, and I've just gone, you know what, like, I don't need this in my life. That's when it all started to sort of fade away for me.

And I still like racing as such, but more hobbies and everything. My actual passion to be competitive and stuff faded definitely in the last two or three years. But yeah, getting out of it's the best thing I ever did. And that brings us to OnlyFans, which has been in the news in the last week. And a lot of people don't, I mean, maybe listening now that don't know what OnlyFans, which has been in the news in the last week. And a lot of people don't, I mean, maybe listening now, that don't know what OnlyFans is.

Do you want to explain what OnlyFans is? How do you explain it? So I sort of say it's a subscription-based platform on a website, and you can host or show whatever you want on that platform. I mean, I know people who do it who are personal trainers, but it's obviously relatively popular for people doing what I do. So you can subscribe for X amount of dollars a month. Mine's $9.95.

And then you subscribe and you can join my platform. And on that, I have, you know, sexy lingerie, raunchy photos. And then from there, you can purchase further content from me, which I call XX or X-rated content at a further price. So, correct me if I'm wrong, you're in, out of all of the people that upload and have OnlyFans, you're in the top 0.01% of earners. Yeah. Wow.

Yeah, it's hard to believe, I know. So, I get, I've held it since June, I think, June. So, I've had it for a little while and I still wrap my head around it. But yeah, I mean, I'm literally one of the top, top creators was what they call us worldwide. So hard to believe. Is it true in June that you made half a million dollars? Yeah, yeah.

It was a big month. How did you compare to your budgets when you were doing, could you just go back now and have your own supercar team? Yeah, yeah. So what I make in a month is probably what it costs to run a car for a year back when I was 18. Go back and just tell them to suck it. Wow.

Yeah, pretty much. Wow. I think about it every day. Okay, so what about the news at the weekend? This was Bella. So Bella Thorne, you know, people are saying that she changed the rules when she jumped on and she led people

astray by putting up three not very explicit photos. And it's changed. Has it changed how you get paid? No, I'm lucky enough that because I am in this top percent and I do have such a large amount of money coming through, to be honest, it doesn't affect me.

I'm financially stable outside of OnlyFans. You know, I could stop doing OnlyFans tomorrow and, you know, live comfortably for a couple of years. So for me, I'm very fortunate and it does suck. I have spoken to a few other girls who, you know, are trying to kill it and their OnlyFans have taken off. And it is going to affect them, not at the moment, but when the payouts and stuff have all changed in regards to how soon they pay out. It's not at the moment, but from when it kicked in, obviously that's going to be in a month or so time, the money's going to dry up and it's not an immediate effect, but I know time will come where all of a sudden it does change the way people look at OnlyFans. I know girls who have just immediately switched off OnlyFans and gone to other platforms because of it.

But I personally think OnlyFans is owned by two people. So it's privately owned as such. And I think that they're half smart. They'll probably change it back. Yeah. What do you think the, is there any stigma or what do people think about you being on OnlyFans? Yeah, when I started, I guess I was, I think I knew the repercussions

and potentially what could be involved when I started it. So I was well aware. And look, to be honest, coming from where I came from, you know, being the chick who raced cars and being the chick that's on OnlyFans, it's all sort of the same thing for me. So I think I've had stigmas and stuff my whole life, so I didn't really care. But I did know that there was probably a dark side, an arty side. I knew things were going to get leaked and all that sort of stuff.

But I chose not to do it. I chose to do it anyway, and it didn't talk me out of it. It wasn't really worried about it, to be honest. I didn't really care. And now I think just because of where it's taken me in life and how I feel about it, and I think the success that it's brought me and I see it bringing other people, I don't really care. And I think it's how you sort of deliver it. I mean, you know, I go to banks and, you know, I tell them what I do and it's sort of, if

you're confident with what you do and if you, I believe it's a career, I'm quite successful doing it. So I think it's how I talk about it and how I explain it to people. People don't think it's as bad as what it is. But it's definitely talking them out and changing their mindset in regards to what it is. And to be honest, OnlyFans has changed that whole adult industry anyway. So I think it's slowly changing the way people think of it. And it's something that I am almost proud to say that I'm involved in

and a part of. Yeah, good on. And I couldn't imagine there'd be any bank that's going to deny you a loan when you bring in half a million a month. That's on. And I couldn't imagine there'd be any bank that's going to deny you a loan when you bring in half a million a month. That's correct. And I just tell them straight up, I just tell them I'm an adult entertainer and they go, oh, okay.

I like that. Banks don't care what you do if you've got money. Yeah, pretty much. No, and neither should you be ashamed. It's like sexual empowerment for women. So good on you. Yeah. Yeah, I love it.

I love telling people what I do and telling them of my successes and sharing it with other girls. And to be honest, I think it's coming from the industry that I was in where females were actually shorthanded and we didn't get a fair advantage. I'm actually almost in an industry where females are getting the advantage. So that's why I think I like it. And I'm so proud because I sort of look at it and it's actually put me in a place of empowerment and I feel strong and confident in this because I'm so successful.

So I think that's why I like it so much because I've gone from being in a role where females were probably at a disadvantage to where females are advantaged on OnlyFans. Well, thanks so much for schooling us on OnlyFans, for being so open and honest about it. And congratulations on your success. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. Very excited that my husband and I are expecting a baby. And... Lorenz?

Little Lorenz. We've joked for years about Megan having a kid called Lorenz. A spoiled little... A very high maintenance child. I mean, every child's high maintenance. Dressed in Louis Vuitton, designer clothing. I'm not even dressed in Louis Vuitton. Why would he be?

He will be. Because he's Lorenz. He demands the best. So I actually recorded the moment I told, or everyone really, because I wanted to keep it. Because you're so conditioned from years of working in radio that these special moments must be recorded.

It wasn't. When I recorded it, I wasn't like, I'm going to play this on the radio. It was just for my, because I was excited to tell people. It'd been a long time. And so my mum,

she actually was flying up to Auckland for the start of our IVF. She was going to hold my hand and maybe help out my husband while I was flipping out. But she, so she's under the illusion that she has come to Auckland to start IVF with me. And she, weirdly enough. Because you mentioned yesterday

that you were about to start IVF when you just found out that you were pregnant. Yeah, we fell pregnant naturally. But she, weirdly, the first scan that we were going to have of the baby was on the day that we were supposed to start. Right. So I had given her a birthday present. It's literally a framed picture of a little strawberry and said,

would you like to come and meet me? I'll be this big on Wednesday. And this is what. That's pretty cute. This is what? The moment she received the present. What? Have you already done? We're having a baby! Oh my god! You mean you did it yourself? Yeah! Oh, isn't it lovely?

Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! It's so lovely! I was telling the lady on the plane That my daughter's going to hang over here It's going to be a sausage and strawberry Oh my goodness, really? Yeah

So your mum was telling a stranger on the plane I was going to say that I didn't have the heart to be like My daughter's standing over here Oh really, who's your daughter? Oh my daughter's on the radio I was telling the lady on the plane Probably just like stop talking

Oh god But I can't remember the last time I saw mum kind of overcome with emotion She doesn't cry She's a tough woman And even at the start of that I wasn't expecting her to end with. No. She's like, oh, you've done it yourself, have you?

Good on you. Right. So we better leave because traffic will be absolutely terrible. And this is a moment I told my husband for a bit of background. I did the test at home by myself. I was quite shocked. I raced too because I had about half an hour, an hour before he got home. I raced to the warehouse,

closest thing to me, and I got little socks that said, Dad is my hero and I put it in with the test and he was under the illusion it was a present that he could use at the weekend for working so hard. This is him opening the box. You're actually kidding.

Are you serious? What? Are you for real? Oh my god. Are you serious? Oh my god. Holy shit. How do you know?

I didn't tease. Oh my God. This is not what I imagined. My mind is, like, blown. Oh, my God. This is going to be like real little things on a little person. We did it. Oh, my God.

What was I saying at the end? It was Leo. No, it was Leo. Oh, it sounded like someone was trying to get the barbecue going. Leo's walking over to be like, what are you guys up to? Click, click, click, click, click, click. We better get some sausages on. Oh, that's really awesome.

Yeah. So it is good. I've got all these, like, recorded memories of people and when they told them. What about your dad? Well, mum FaceTimed dad straight afterwards and he paced around and was like, I'm going to be a pop again. How long did it take him to get the camera on his face? How do I turn this thing around?

He wanted to know if he could, you say wet the baby's head, eh? Like to have a drink? Yeah, but I think you do that after the baby's born. No, he said, is it too early to have a whiskey now? Oh, never too early for a whiskey. Oh, hit it. You don't need any excuse. He's very excited.

But yeah, that's how I told my mum and my partner. But we'd love to hear this morning on how you told the people close to you, how you told your partner that you were expecting. Yes. Bonus points if you told someone and they had a, like, kind of a funny reaction.

Wait a minute. Clarify your funny reaction stance. Like they fainted or something. Oh, yeah. And went through the coffee table. Oh, Jesus. What, a glass coffee table? No, they landed on the couch.

That's better. That's better. Fainted and landed on the couch. That's better. That's better. Fainted and landed on the couch. Well, maybe you've just got a cute story like Megan, how you told your mom. That was very cute. I thought you were going to say maybe you've got a weak coffee table. Or maybe you've just got a weak coffee table. So they did go through it, but it was wood, so they didn't.

Maybe it was time that you changed your coffee table. But yeah, 0800 dials at M. Give us a call. You can text as well, 9696. How did you tell your partner or your close family members you were pregnant? Megan, yesterday, if you missed the news, announced that she is having a baby. And we are talking now about the ways you told your partner and those close to you that you were pregnant. And maybe there were some great reactions, some cute stories in that.

I just love this because it's all lovey-dovey about kids and it's everything you don't like. Oh, I'm just like, okay. No, because there's heaps of reactions that are like Fletcher's reactions coming in. Yeah. Okay. Like what?

We were supposed to be going on a holiday with our best friends, but found out that we were pregnant and then the baby was due a week before. We gave them a deepest sympathies card, and my best friend yelled at me, I effing knew you would do this. God.

Yeah. And she's the baby's godmother now, and we probably wouldn't have been able to go anywhere because of hashtag COVID. Oh, yeah. Oh, right, okay. I told my mum I was pregnant via text. It took me two days to convince her

That it was actually me And it wasn't somebody trying to scam her out of money Well that's the thing Boomers have been so scared into Being safe online That's good We told my parents during a rigged game Of Scrabble

Oh okay So they could spell like I am Pregnant or we are We told my parents during a rigged game of Scrabble. Oh, okay. We used Scrabble so they could spell like I am pregnant. That's cute. We are having. Ah, you couldn't do ah. It's just one letter in it. You're allowed to do one letter, aren't you? You're not allowed to do ah.

What are they, conjectures or whatever they're called? You're not allowed to do them. It would just be impossible to do an ah. Because if someone had written like having, you could be like, I'll just ah. Oh, yeah. I can go sideways, but I do an ah. Because if someone had written like having, you could be like, I'll just ah. Oh yeah. I can go sideways, but I've done ah. Alright, let's take some calls. Justine, how did you break the news

that you were pregnant? Hi guys. Hi. Firstly, congrats Megan, I'm so happy for you. Thank you. Hey, so my husband and I were trying and so he got home from work one day and I gave him an apple seed and said to him, you know, congratulations, this is the size of our baby. And he then turned around

and went, oh, oh, gutted. And I kind of looked at him and went, what the? And so my brother and sister-in-law had been trying for about a year and had been having a lot of adult time. And so he just presumed that he was going to be getting a lot of adult time and unfortunately Super Swimmers took first time. Oh! So he was gutted that he wasn't getting any. Okay, right. He was gutted that he had great expectations of a year of, you know, lots.

Scheduled. I tell you what, a few months into scheduled stuff, I might have lost a little bit of the pizzazz. Brilliant. Hey, Justine, thanks so much for your call. Lucy, how did you break the news? Morning, guys. Congratulations, Megan.

That's so cool. What about my? What about me, Lucy? What about me? What about my? Listen, it's not always about you two. Thank you, Lucy. Lucy, what about me?

What about us, Mike? She told you. What about my? What about my? Oh, my goodness. Lucy, about you. Who needs a baby when you've got us two cuties around? Oh, my God.

What about my? Count me, Lucy. Listen, it's about me right now. Stop it. Okay, it's about Lucy. Tell us your story. Okay. What about mine? Count me, Lucy. Listen, it's about me right now. Stop it. Okay, it's about Lucy. Tell us your story. Okay, what about you? So I had a dream that I was pregnant.

I woke up in the morning, took my test, and sure enough, I was. Wow. So I called my husband, and I was like, are you sitting down? He said, yeah, I'm just at work. I'm in the port-a-loo. I'm taking a poo. I was like, oh. Well, he was sitting down.

He was sitting down. And so I said, oh, I'm taking a test, I'm pregnant. He's like, oh, my God, I've got to call you back. I need to wipe. Brilliant, brilliant. Oh, that's brilliant. Because when you're in a portaloo, there's no service to put the phone when We put it on speaker and then wipe,

and you might have heard the wipe. I mean, who knows? Wow. Okay, Lucy, back to us. Thanks for your call. Thanks, Lucy. Bye. Back to us.

Thanks, Lucy. Peggy, good morning. How did you break the news that you were pregnant? Good morning. Hey, I was, we'd done IVF for six years, and we had given up. We'd actually stopped trying. Right.

And then I was driving to work and I was listening to the radio and you guys were talking, well, somebody was talking about how Tanya West took the award off Taylor Swift. Okay. And like,

she was the onstage video with the best video of all time. Yeah, that was a long time ago. I was, I had to, oh, she's 10 now. I had to pull over. I was crying so hard. I was so upset for Taylor. I had to, oh she's 10 now, I had to pull over. I was crying so hard. I was so upset for Taylor.

I was absolutely devastated. And I was like, this is so weird. What the hell is wrong with me? I was so sad I could have just died for her. You'd never reacted to any Taylor Swift news this way

before? No. And I yeah, that's odd. No, and I was just absolutely just so devastated for her, and I just wanted to hug her. And I was like, this is freaking weird. So I didn't tell anyone what I was doing. I drove straight to MedLab instead of my work and got a blood test done. And we'd been through a lot, so I wasn't going to, like to bring my husband's hopes up.

So I didn't say anything. I didn't tell him I'd had the test. And then I got the results back mid-morning. And she was like, okay, I can't tell you whether it's false or positive, but a pregnant woman has levels of under 500 and you're over 5,000. And I was like, oh, so it's negative. And she was like, no, no, honey, no, you're not listening to me. Wow.

So I was. And so I ran him from work. But I was shaking. I dropped the phone like three or four times talking to him. You're like, he was so mean to take a reward. She earned a fair and square. I was like, oh, Taylor. That's amazing, Peggy.

Thanks for sharing. Yeah, thanks, Peggy. Add some text messages in. I showed my partner the test, and he took a little bit of time to, like, work out what meant what, and he's like, oh, are we going to keep it? And I thought he meant the baby, but he meant the test because it's got wheeze on it.

I remember the same conversation. I was like, oh, my God, this is amazing, like, being so stoked and then being like, what, that's got your wheeze on it. Yeah. What do we do with that? Chuck it in the, but then you chuck it in the bin. That's a bit like.

Yeah, no, we, I think put down a couple of paper towels. Okay. In the hot water cupboard and put it in the hot water cupboard. Okay. Because you know, it's where you put place. Like if you dropped your iPhone. And it dried and then the wheeze is dry okay and what you've got that in a drawer somewhere do you yeah i think we've got it

in like a shoe a memory box a shoe box that's exactly the sort of thing you want to drag out when your kids are teenagers be like oh this is your mom did a piss on this yeah that's how we knew you were coming gross look at you you're a result of weeing on a stick and other stuff. I told my partner I was pregnant over a Subway sandwich. He was both calm and happy. Because he was eating. Because he was eating a Subway sandwich. I went out parents to a gorgeous little boy.

I feel like was the child named like turkey on rye? Three pepper chicken. Yeah. Yeah, maybe. Or just foot long, who knows? Or yeah, I'll have a cookie. Always have a cookie. My husband, we did the test.

It refreshed and I disappeared. But yes, it did the test. Refreshed and I disappeared. But yes, he always read ahead. We did the test and the lines were real faint. I weren't there. So I said, oh, don't worry about it. And we walked away. And then my husband held on to the test for longer. And that's when the lines came in.

And he came in and he was just crying. Oh, bless. And he said, it's happened. It's happened. And then so he actually told me. Oh, wow. That we were pregnant. Oh, please. And he said, it's happened, it's happened. And then, so he actually told me that we were pregnant. That's cute. That would be very rare.

And somebody else said that they had a very upset stomach and they thought they had food poisoning, but that was just what pregnancy did to them. And they pooped their pants. Their husband said, what's happening here? Why have you pooped your pants? And they said, I think I'm pregnant. They were crying and they were pooped their pants. My husband said, what's happening here? Why have you pooped your pants?

And I said, I think I'm pregnant. They were crying and they were pooping their pants. Just great training, actually, because babies do poop in their pants too. Yeah. Flesh, fauna, Megan. The podcast. ZM. Fact of the day, day Goodyear Tyres and their link to dentures.

Oh, okay. Do you know the link between dentures and Goodyear Tyres? They make dentures out of old tyres. No. Old tyres make tyres out of dentures. No. I thought that was the obvious next one. The same.

It was Charles Goodyear, for which Goodyear tyres is named after, but he didn't start Goodyear tyres. Okay. He revolutionised the vulcanisation of rubber that led to tyres being like they are. Okay. However, the technology before that

was used in dentistry. The vulcanisation, before he happened to cross this technique to make rubber more pliable, but then it would set into a shape but still be soft

and waterproof. Like a tyre. Like a tyre. They used to have to, if you had to have false teeth, they had to carve a plate to fit into where your teeth would, where the false teeth would sit. Off that out of ivory or wood and then put in porcelain teeth

or teeth of whatever. And he said, well, I'll vulcanise this rubber thing. I reckon if we just like pour a bit in the mouth. Yeah. It'll mould to the shape of where the teeth are going to sit. Then we can take that out and we can stick the teeth in. Then we can put it back in and it will be way better. Yeah, right.

So Goodyear, we're actually the Goodyear vulcanised dentures came 50 years before Goodyear tyres. Oh, wow. And Charles Goodyear, he had nothing to do with Goodyear tyres. Oh, wow. And Charles Goodyear, he had nothing to do with Goodyear tyres. It was started by a guy called Frank Siebeling, but because he was using the technique, the same technique that Goodyear had invented, he named the tyres after Charles Goodyear.

Huh. But prior to that, it was all about the dentures, the base of the dentures. So have you never seen, I don't know, everybody's familiar with false teeth. Not as many grandparents have them these days.

When I was a kid, my grandparents, I think they all had them. Yeah, my dad's got a plate and it comes out with a tooth or two. Oh, my grandparents had the whole shebang.

Oh, really? My granddad had the whole false teeth and he'd put them out and they'd be like, oh my God, man. But now you just get implants, don't you? Yeah.

These have still got to be the cheaper option, right? Because implants are very expensive. My grandad used to say his teeth all fell out because he swore too much. Tell you what, when you're like five, that'll scare you off, scare you out of swearing when he's like, oh, I swore that I would go. And every time he'd swear in front of us,

he'd look and he'd be like, oh, I thought of that ago. And every time he'd swear in front of us, he'd look, and he'd be like, oh, see? I still thought out what you swear. Back in they'd go. What happened to those when he died? What do you do with false teeth? I think they put them in, don't they? I don't know. Maybe.

Oh, he was buried, not cremated, because if it was still vulcanised rubber, it'd go up. A bit of black smoke would come off, wouldn't it? So today's fact of the day is 50 years before Goodyear was associated with tyres, it was associated with false teeth.

Fact of the day! Day, day, day, day! ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Sent my dad a Father's Day gift yesterday. Okay. Won't say what it is. Keep that on the... What, because he could be listening? Yeah, he might be listening.

Okay. I bet there's a lotto ticket in there. You bet. I know what it is. There wasn't... It's a... Oh, yeah. That's part of it.

There's multiple parts of it. Okay. There wasn't going to be a lotto ticket in it, but I went into the post shop to post it, and it was like also a lotto kiosk and a dairy. Yeah. Who knew? Well, that's because apparently post shops,

like a big post shop, people just were like hardly using. So a lady was in there and she raised a very good point. I was just listening to a conversation that she was having with the lady behind the counter at the post shop, Lotto Chaos Dairy.

Yeah. And she said, I'd be interested if you know, and I was like, here we go, why the cost of couriering isn't going up at the same speed as the cost of post. Because, you know, remember when a letter was 70, you know, what is it, like a dollar 50 now to send a standard size letter? Yeah. She's like, it just keeps going up.

She was an older lady, so she'd done, you know, she'd been around as long as they'd been post. Yeah. She's like, it just keeps going up. She was an older lady, so she'd been around as long as they'd been post. Yeah. But then if I can courier something to somebody, it's almost cheaper now. It's almost like there's an incentive for you to courier rather than send a letter. What is it? That it's cheaper. That it's faster. That it's faster, yeah.

I mean, it's not cheaper than a letter, but I mean, yeah. But I thought that was interesting, just that it wasn't going up the same. But anyway, I filled out my little situation to send and I wrote on it, do not open till Sunday. And on the front, and the lady said, why not open it till Sunday? I said, it's Father's Day.

She's like, when? And I was like, is she trying to do that funny thing? I was like, it's on Father's Day. Father's Day's on Sunday. She's like, oh, is it this Sunday? I didn't know. Oh, thank you for reminding me. What a good son you are.

She only works at the Lotto Dairy slash Poker Shop. That's what I was going to say. Behind it, there was a massive thing saying, Father's Day draw this Saturday. Win a Ford Ranger and this, that, and the other. And I was like, okay. And then she said, okay, so where are we sending that to? And I said, oh oh the address is on it

Morrinsville and she's like what is Morrinsville does she know anything this she's but the rest

she kind of let go but she was so stuck she's like I've never heard of it I was like okay I grew up there

it definitely exists and she's like where is it I was like it's in the Waikato and she was like hmm and tapped in the postcode and she's like it it? I was like, it's in the Waikato. And she was like, hmm. And tapped in the postcode.

And she's like, it is. And I was like, yep. I mean, you only have to watch the news and every like two months there's a meth lab explosion. There's something. A police chase, a firearms issue. Or an irate dairy farmer talking about how he's not done anything to the world.

The Prime Minister's from Morrinsville. That's what I said. I said that was my next thing. I said, oh, the Prime Minister's from Morrinsville. No's what I said. I said that was my next thing. I said, oh, the Prime Minister's from Morrinsville. No. I was like, okay. She's from Hamilton. I was like, Hamilton's near Morrinsville.

It's what we say when people don't know where Morrinsville is. And she's like, oh, okay. I was like, like you right now. Don't know. And she just was just like, interesting. How many people live there? I was like, I don't know. 5,000.

And like, it's a dairy farming town. Why didn't you put her on the Prime Minister thing? You should have said I went to school with her. I know for a fact she's from Morrinsville. But that's what I did. I kind of said, we just say we're from Hamilton because people don't know where Morrinsville is. Right. And she's like, oh, okay. It's got the big, have you seen that

giant cow? She's like, what? I was like, look. I pulled out the photo of the mega cow. I was like, that's in Morrinsville. And she said, well, that doesn't look real. I was like, look. I'm like, I pulled out the photo of the mega cow. I was like, that's in Morrinsville. And she said, well, that doesn't look real. I was like, it is real. I've seen it with my own eyes.

She's like, how tall is it? I was like, six meters. She's like, they couldn't make that. And so she had me. Why do you keep yourself in these conversations? I'm glad I wasn't high. Because she would have almost had me convinced that I'd imagined my entire growing up. Childhood in this town.

And then, yeah, on the way to the car, I was like, okay, no, definitely it's for real. Convinced myself. I do a light bit of convincing. I was like, no, I know it's real. I've been there. How do you know anything's real? Is this all just a dream? I was like, I need to get home.

I need to get into my safe place. Sure you went high. I wasn't high but imagine how bad it would have been if I was but it does exist good

yeah yeah because she found the price code for it yeah and I know it's there how much did it cost to send a package to your dad

uh five dollars oh yeah that's not bad yeah did you go for economical that sounds like you cheaped out

you could have gone one higher couldn't you I could have gone one higher, couldn't you? I could have gone faster, but I think because I sent it yesterday, I'll have enough time to get to the fictitious land of morals. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Studies looked into what you have for breakfast and what it means about your personality.

I love these, especially when it's completely not what Fletch is. But basically you had to answer questions like what you had for breakfast and then identify your own personality traits. And then they just matched up. Reoccurring personality traits with what people had. So what's my breakfast and what does this say about me?

Well, I mean, you have yogurt and like oats. Yes. And let's not forget juicy sultanas, plump juicy sultanas and almonds. I'm going to have to load that into yogurt and berries for breakfast because we don't have like. Yogurt and berries. Okay. And yogurt and berries for breakfast means that you are a very emotional person. You are.

That is me. That is me. That is me. In touch with my emotions. Vaughan, you have porridge. Porridge is not specified. I'm going to have to go with a bowl of cereal, which technically that is. No, it's more than a bowl of cereal.

It's sophisticated, isn't it? It's sophisticated. Well, apparently most people who have a bowl of cereal identify themselves as dependable people. Okay. I'd say you're pretty dependable. Oh, brick wall. Same old.

I reckon you could break down the different types of cereal. Like if someone's like a Froot Loops or a Cocoa Pops versus like a Sultana brand. Yeah, that's more of a fruity situation. Yeah. There's a lot of sugar in a Sultana brand. I bet. That's hidden. In the in a Sultana brand. I bet. That's hidden. In the Sultanas.

In everything. The people who identified as high earners, so $200,000 plus a year, they often just had a cup of tea for breakfast. Career-minded high earners. No, I couldn't be so grumpy if I didn't eat breakfast. Just a cup of tea. I had peanut butter on toast this morning.

That's what I've been having a lot. And it says that we are passionate lovers. Blah. Wow. Not wrong. Why? Because you taste like you're trying to get peanut butter off the roof of your mouth? Smoked salmon and cream cheese on a bagel.

What? Ooh. Ooh la la. Like maybe at a weekend.el. What? Ooh. Ooh la la. Who's given that for, like, maybe at a weekend? Yum. Extroverts. What else would you like? They're like, look at me.

Look at my breakfast. It doesn't look great. It smells because it's salmon. Smashed avo on sourdough specifically, but smashed avo on toast. Is well-travelled. Those people identify as well-travelled. Well, they ain't got no money to travel because they're spending it all on avocado.

Yeah. But now they can't travel. If you skip breakfast altogether, you're most likely to be an introvert. If you enjoy a bit of French toast, maybe at the weekend, identify as a party animal. This is bullshit. That's my mom. Who put this together? This is nonsense. This is how people describe themselves.

Wow, okay. What else do you want? There is banana, if you're just having a banana. Okay. Banana. You identify as stressed. So yeah, the people who earn lots of money and are stressed are just getting a cup of tea and a banana.

ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. If you enjoyed this podcast, just getting a cup of tea and a banana.
