I have something I'd like to tell everyone.
I've been, well we've been, my husband and I have been keeping this secret for about four months.
And we've been...
Like we didn't even know, did we?
No.
I worked it out, didn't I?
You did work it out.
You did work it out. You did work it out.
Just, like, out of the blue asked me, what, two or three weeks ago.
Yeah.
So it's always been something that has been on our mind,
and we were like, okay, one day, one day this is going to happen for us.
And I would like to announce...
You bought a ride on a lawnmower.
Yes.
For a drone.
For a drone.
Not quite. like to announce. You brought her right on, Loma. Yes. Or a drone. Not
quite. We
have opened a cafe.
Mr. Toyboy
and Megan are now cafe
owner-operators. I'm a
boss lady. You're a smee.
What's that? A small to medium enterprise.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
So now we own a cafe.
It's called Beauford & Co.
And the reason behind the name is that's where, in South Africa,
that's where my husband's family's from, Beauford West.
So Beauford & Co. is supposed to be like our family and yours.
Yeah.
And it's a cheese too, isn't it?
It is a French cheese.
Oh, okay. When we went to Paris, we went to one of those little fromageries
and asked if they had some cheese and bought probably 80 cents worth.
Yeah.
And we were so excited.
80 blocks of cheese.
I'm like, well, I haven't seen any of that cheese.
We were so excited.
We danced around and the French guy serving us was just completely baffled
as to what was happening.
But we can and we do sell a dish that's got the French cheese Beaufort on the menu.
So you've had to do all of this, like have a menu and you've been renovating it.
It is so hard because I feel like I'm a kid playing shops.
I still feel like that.
I know, but you have to do like
tax and employers
You're a kid playing shops but you could go to jail
if you don't
If you don't do it right
And people rely on me to get paid now which is terrifying
Because even people
working in the kitchen
Have you implemented some of the management techniques that we've learnt
through our radio management over the years?
Like you're lucky to have a job? Have you said that
to anybody yet? I've learnt some do's
and don'ts. There's a hundred people that would love
your job, that would do it for less.
Have you had that said to you? That's a classic.
I'm trying to make sure I tell
my staff every day how great they are.
Oh really? You're trying that approach?
That won't last.
That'll last
or some of them let you down.
Why don't you pay me more?
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
I understand
paying negotiations
more too now.
Did you say,
where do you see yourself
in five years
when hiring any staff?
What a stupid question.
Still making this
Eggs Benedict.
Oh,
I'm going to
hire the shop next door
and open my own cafe
and sink this place.
What?
Nothing.
You put this up
on Instagram last night. Did you get any feedback? So lots of people wanted to know if we served this place. What? Nothing. You put this up on Instagram last night.
Did you get any feedback?
So lots of people wanted to know if we served eggs Benedict.
Do you?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a little bit special.
It's a twist.
That's the thing.
You've got to make something about your eggs Benedict different.
Yeah.
Right.
And then everyone wanted to know if my mum's casserole featured in the restaurant.
It should.
It doesn't.
You should do like a Friday casserole.
The casserole's only in
store on one day of the week. I know
I wish it was there now because that
would have been a selling point. Everyone would want to come try
it but it's not currently. Be a good winter thing.
I need to get mum up as like
a part time chef
so she can do that and her
chocolate chip cookies. I don't know if flying your mum
up once a week from Nelson's going to be a great business decision.
To make some casserole.
Yeah.
So I'm now thinking that, because I'm away this weekend,
but the weekend after I could, come for breakfast.
You're not getting free marshmallows.
Am I getting a free, no, I was thinking free breakfast.
I'll put it on my Instagram.
Absolutely not.
Absolutely not a free breakfast. But do we get a discount? We're like your
friends. Um, maybe.
But that's the reason we shouldn't be asking
for a discount. I saw that on
Instagram. Oh, really? Someone was like,
if you're a small business and your friends are asking
you for mates rates, then that's the very reason
they shouldn't be getting
them or something. But we're your friends.
Like at least a half price discount for the
first one. No, half price.
Just hang a bad Google review over your head because you can't edit those.
Do you want a one star on TripAdvisor?
Don't do this to me.
This is, yeah, and no one asked me if I got PayWave, all right?
That is expensive.
I will swipe your card for you if it's that much of a pain.
They take a percentage, Jay.
Yeah.
PayWave takes a percentage. And then if it's a credit card and PayW it's that much of a pain. They take a percentage, eh? Yeah. PayWave takes a percentage and then if
it's a credit card and PayWave, that's a double dip.
Because wasn't it even, was it Burger King
way back that said, nah, we're not doing
I don't know if they've changed that. It's costing you $25,000
a year or something. Because it's a percentage.
It's not a flat fee to have PayWave.
It's a percentage of your tax.
They've got to sort that out.
That's got to be remedied, right? Yeah.
So I'll swipe your card for you if you like.
If it's too much of a hassle.
If that's too much, no.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
I'm excited.
What's your signature dish?
Because every cafe's got a signature dish.
Beaufort eggs.
Beaufort eggs.
Is that the eggs Benny?
No, that's different.
What is it?
How are the eggs cooked?
Scrambled?
Fried?
Poached?
For the eggs Benny or for the Beaufort eggs?
They're poached. Okay, could I have it scrambled? You can have it however you like, babe. fried, poached. For the eggs, Benny, or for the... For your Beaufort eggs. They're poached.
Okay, could I have it scrambled?
You can have it however you like, babe.
Okay, that's right.
Customers are always right.
That was a test.
How much do you do for a side of bacon?
Do you do creamy mushrooms?
We don't have normal bacon.
We have double smoked bacon steaks,
but you can have a side of those.
Bacon steaks?
Yeah.
I'm on board.
I'm on board.
I'm on board.
That's a thicker...
That's great.
We could talk about this all day. And then slice thick and then fry it again. I'm on board. I'm on board. That's a thicker, that's like pork belly right cooked
and then sliced thick
and then fried again.
Yeah.
Double smoked.
Double smoked.
Can't wait for my half price breakfast.
I'm so excited.
It is absolutely not happening.
Can I just get another plug in there
for the Instagram?
Yeah, it's at BeauFit&Co.
Thank you.
This is great now.
We definitely need a half price breakfast.
You need to spell it.
Free advertising. B, it's like Beau, like your boyfriend. B-. This is great now. Well, now we definitely need a half price. You need to spell it. Free advertising.
B, it's like Bo, like your boyfriend.
B-E-A-U.
B-E-A-U.
Like beautiful, the first bit of beautiful.
Yeah.
Okay.
Fort, like Fort Knox.
Here you go.
Maybe you should have chosen a name that was, I don't know, like cats.
Cat & Co.
Cats & Co.
Hey, branch out.
It's South African.
We're all learning.
Like we set up on the North Shore of Auckland, which is also South African. We're all learning. Like what you set up on the North Shore of Auckland,
which is also South African.
Yeah.
I don't want to make this about me.
Well, you are.
But I, first of all, I went to Bunnings, guys.
It's like your favourite place in the world.
Well, Bunnings or Mitre 10 Mega,
there's so much stuff in there that you didn't know you needed. And you're just like, yep, okay.
And it turns out you did need it all.
Yeah, because I go to either of those two to get my new plants sometimes when they die.
I'm due another trip soon.
Oh, yeah.
You've got more death knocking.
Oh, I tell you what, peace, Lilies.
I'm not buying those once they die.
Always wilting over every couple of days.
You've got to water your plants.
I do, but more than...
It's too much effort.
And that rain that started happening last week,
I took all the houseplants and put them outside.
I love that.
They loved it.
They lapped it up because it washed all the dust off them and everything.
Yeah.
Save me dusting them.
Well, I can't do that in the inner city.
Someone will steal them.
Hang it out the window.
Just while it's raining, open the window and hang out the window.
They could drop onto people below and kill them.
Just hold onto them tightly.
Oh, okay.
So, yeah, I went to Bunnings.
And, man, I don't know how they know where everything is.
I know they always know.
I never know.
I'm just like, and they come up and they're like, can I help you?
I'm like, yeah, actually, because stuff walking around this to find what I'm looking for.
So I was looking for some stain for some wood.
I know.
Okay.
I know.
Wood stain.
Wood stainer.
Wood stain.
That's very...
Did you go dark?
I did.
Dark stain.
Yeah, good.
My husband started calling me tradie booze.
Cutie.
That's what he calls all the tradies.
I'm a tradie.
Hello, tradie booze.
Hello, tradie booze.
Tradie booze. Plumber comes over to fix the toilet. Hello, tradie booze. Hello, tradie booze. Hello, tradie booze. Tradie booze.
Plumber comes over to fix the toilet.
Hello, tradie booze.
Instead of Meggie booze, it's tradie booze.
Tradie booze.
And so we were both there.
You don't want to do a tradie poos, though.
No.
No.
It's all those Pies and V.
It's not a poos.
So I was like, yeah, okay, I need some stain.
Yeah.
So I needed to go into the paint area.
You know they've got a paint area.
Yes.
And I don't want to sound sexist.
It was International Women's Day too.
I went in there and I was like, man, there are so many females working here.
This is awesome.
Yeah.
Went into the paint area and there was a young female in charge of like the paint area.
And I was like, this is cool.
So I can talk to her on my level.
I was like, hi babes.
You feel like if it was an old mate
who'd be like, they're very good in
either, like any of these. I feel like
my 10 and Bunnings have like a competition who can
outnice each other.
Yeah.
Okay, so like, and then my husband
blessed, didn't mean to, but started
explaining what wood we were going to stay in. I was like,
um, please.
She's in this area. She knows what she's talking about.
She knows what type of wood.
Yeah.
And goodness me, so helpful.
She ended up saving me about $70 for getting like a cheaper stain
like that I was looking at.
So I used an outdoor stain for an indoor thing.
It lasts longer.
I don't want anyone to tell me what I've done is wrong.
So I don't want to explain to you what I did.
Anyway, so I bought a cheaper, explain to you what I did. But anyway, so I bought a cheapest
like, spent a lot less money.
She was so helpful
and I was so taken back
by how many females there were. When I left
I was on my phone and my husband's like, what are you doing?
I was like, I'm writing
customer feedback on the
Bunnings website. So I wrote
I took her name, I remembered her name
and I wrote a little feedback form,
and I was like, she was so helpful.
Also, kudos on International Women's Day,
so many women working at Bunnings
and specialised departments.
I just wanted to say this is awesome
and give feedback, some positive feedback
to the service that I got from this person.
Should I say her name?
That's a lot of effort.
Because they always say to me at the bottom of the receipt,
they're like, if you fill this out, you can win 500 bucks.
Oh, what?
Okay, cool, never doing that.
Because I'm never going to win.
So I sent that away because I was like,
it's always nice to hear good things, you know?
People are so quick to complain.
And that's when I got an email back from Bunnings.
Yeah.
And it says, hi, Megan.
Thank you so much for your feedback.
We will definitely pass this on to, should I say her name. Yeah. And it says, Hi Megan, thank you so much for your feedback. We will definitely
pass this on to,
should I say her name?
Yeah.
I don't know,
she doesn't want to be
dragged into your
bloody grandstanding.
Yeah, no, no,
I don't want to,
I don't want to take away
from her award.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, you're not saying her name,
you're literally taking it
away from me.
You've talked about this award
that you got her,
and now you're not even
saying who she is.
No, but I didn't say
which place it was.
You said Bunnings.
I know,
but there's a few of those.
No.
It's a female at Bunnings.
Is it not?
Is it more than one?
In the paint department.
Okay, yeah.
So, should I say her name?
No.
Yeah, I reckon say her name.
Why?
It's positive.
You're not ragging on her.
You're saying she's doing a great job.
Okay.
We will definitely pass this on to Michaelia.
Not Michaela.
It was Michaelia.
Are you sure?
Yeah, because they wrote back exactly how I spelt it.
Right.
And give her an excellence award
for the best service.
Thank you.
So you won her an award.
And kind regards.
I was like,
I am so pleased
that she's going to get
the recognition that she deserves
because goodness me,
she's so going to do a job.
But now I've taken it away from her.
What was the prize?
Oh, I don't know.
Because she gets to go on the air.
It doesn't detail.
We've got trolley Buns this week.
Maybe they put up a certificate in the doorway to say that she won this.
I don't know.
Yeah, in the staff room she might get like a picture on the wall or something.
But hey, it was nice to know that she's actually going to get something for it.
And maybe we should all just like.
So basically you just wanted to tell us all that you won someone an award.
Pretty much.
Pretty much. You should you won someone an award. Pretty much. Pretty much.
You should try winning your own award.
I've been trying for a long time.
I'm just leeching off Michaelia's award.
I have had a diagnosis.
I've been to the doctor and I've got carpal karaoke tunnel.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Is this why you inexplicably just
burst into song?
And James bloody Corden won't leave.
Yeah.
No, I
didn't think much of it but like
for a few months every time I do my makeup
or do my hair or when I'm driving my hand
goes numb. So by the end of
doing my makeup. A few months?
That's not good. Since, I don't know, end of last year maybe. Right. By the end of doing my makeup. A few months? Yeah. That's not good. Since, I don't know, end of last year maybe.
Right.
By the end of doing my makeup, my hand's numb.
So by the time I do my mascara, often I can't feel that I'm holding it.
Why did it take so long for you to go and see someone about this?
Well, because I just thought that I always slept a bit funny.
But then my wrist has started to hurt.
So I went to the doctor and it, yeah,
concomitant syndrome. What's the,
yeah, is it like a pinch
nerve? Yeah, in your wrist, I think.
Lots of people get it. What's the cause?
What's your cause? What do they put it down to?
Because I've heard that, because at
work we use laptops with trackpads
and I've heard that can be quite bad. Yeah.
You're bunched all up the whole time and... You don't
have your wrist, like, in the right position or something. Yeah, and I always have it can be quite bad. Yeah. You're bunched all up the whole time. You don't have your wrist like in the right position or something.
Yeah, and I suppose having it free flowing and open
and eventually it just pulls up into the nerve.
I've heard that office workers can get it quite bad,
yeah, from typing too much.
But the thing that really did it for me was painting
when I painted New Cafe.
Man, that's hard work.
Again, manual labour.
Because you just look at your work.
You just look at your appreciation for it when you do these things.
Next time I see some people putting up a fence,
I'm going to be like, get on you.
I did that once.
It was bloody tough work.
Yeah.
Man, it's hard on your hand.
I was like, this is like way tougher than it looks.
Because in the movies, you wear like overalls and like a cute wee headscarf
and there's music playing and a montage and, you know.
I thought it would be like that and real sweet and we'd, like, sing along.
Oh, my God.
It wasn't.
It was hard work.
So what do you have to do then now that you've got carpal tunnel?
So I have to wear one of those wrist braces, which I don't have today because I left it.
Megan.
I know.
But also I have to do hand therapy.
What happens in hand therapy?
I don't know.
I haven't been yet.
Do you do it in a group?
When I broke my wrist, I went to hand.
No, no.
You put up a little hand puppet and you're like,
hello, I'm Megan's hand.
Everyone's like, hi, Megan's hand.
It's been
three days since I
had numb fingers while putting on mascara.
And they all go
Thanks everybody.
I wasn't sure if it was like a gym class where you all
go and like copy the instructions.
No, no, no. It's just like
when I broke my wrist they just give you exercises
and stuff. Yeah, you get some exercises for the gym.
Physio-esque.
Yeah, right.
Things to do to make it better.
You don't have to have the operation?
No, I don't know.
Because my sister-in-law had the operation.
It was intense.
I think you do all this other stuff to kind of like see if it subsides.
Right.
But you know how you always see people wearing hand braces and it always like, otherwise they look fine.
Yeah.
You're just like, what's wrong with your hand, mate?
I had a friend that was in a car accident and his wrist was really ruined
and he had to wear a brace every single day.
Been playing with yourself too much, mate.
Every single day.
From strangers, from like people in the supermarket.
He's sort of wearing long hoodies even in summer, long sleeve shirts to cover it. single day from strangers, from people in the supermarket.
He's sort of wearing long hoodies, even in summer,
long-sleeved shirts to cover it because everybody,
how comfortable would you have to be with a stranger to be like,
been playing with yourself too much, mate?
That's so ruthless.
It's mad. No way.
I couldn't do that.
Everybody was saying it to him.
And he just got to the point where he'd be like, no.
No.
Are you mad?
Stop.
Stop, no.
Broke it in a car accident.
It's pretty bad.
I have to wear this for a while longer.
Do you think people will say that to a girl?
Should I wear it and find out?
Depends where in the country you are.
I would almost assure yes.
It came to our attention, I mean, we've kind of known this,
but never really thought too much about it until the other day.
Megan mentioned it's 2019 now and she still hasn't ridden a bus
as part of public transport.
Yeah, clarification, like I've taken party buses.
Public transport's just one big party bus, baby.
We just get on and have some drinks.
You must have been on a school camp on a bus ride or something.
Oh, yeah.
School trip.
But never have you taken a scheduled public transport bus
from point A to point B.
No.
Never done it.
In all of her 43 years on earth, she's never done it.
43!
Oh.
So we thought tomorrow will be the day.
Tomorrow, January 25th, 11 months till Christmas, will be the day.
You'll have a day to prepare for this.
Because I can understand when you lived in Nelson, you grew up in Nelson, there's one
bus, isn't there, that goes from the city to Richmond, maybe.
Yeah, and my parents just dropped me everywhere
and then when I was 15, I had a car.
You didn't need the bus.
But, you've also
then lived in Christchurch
and Auckland, two large
cities, both with a lot of buses.
And what?
I had a car.
You had a car, right.
But you never went to a party and you were like,
well, it's just cheaper if I just get the bus to...
No.
Don't screw up your face.
But why...
Okay, so my main problem with that is, is, like, you...
Oh, I'm going to sound like such a dick.
My main problem with this is...
No, okay, so if you were going to a party,
you're, like, dressed up and, like, you're, like... That's weird. You get on the bus and you were going to a party, you're like dressed up and like, that's weird.
You get on the bus and everyone would be like, okay, mate, like.
What do you mean?
People go on the bus all the time.
I don't think anybody goes on a bus.
If you're going out drinking and then you're all like dressed up and people go on the bus.
People are going to be like, calm down, Cinderella.
Yeah.
Like that.
No one cares.
Because they're all coming home from, they might be coming home from working like a suit.
Or something.
Okay.
People wear suits.
What were you going to say?
People like wear suits on the bus.
Oh my God, Megan.
I just feel like you get,
you're like judged if you're too dressed up on the bus.
Nah.
I mean,
they have the night bus.
They just don't want to look at you.
They just want to push the button
when it's time for them to hop off.
And they have night buses that go back.
It's not like I'm totally against it because there's one that's like,
there's two buses that drive past my house and like,
they must go somewhere.
I'm always like, maybe I should like.
What does the sign on the front of them say?
There's a name on the front and a number beside it.
So that is where it's going?
Yes.
Okay.
I just thought that was like the name of the route or something.
The name of the bus.
Yeah.
Well, the number's the route, yeah.
That bus is called Auckland Central.
Weird name, but cute, I guess.
So I have always wanted to, but I'm just, I actually like can't do it.
Because I don't know where it's going to take me.
And if you want to go somewhere, how do you like figure that out?
There's apps and stuff.
No, but you have to get off one sometimes and get on another one.
Yeah, it'll tell you when to hop off.
Who does?
Apps.
Google Maps is amazing.
It's on you, though.
So when you want to...
Oh, I'm such an arsehole.
When you want to get off...
Yes.
You tell the dude.
Or do you have to stop?
Do they stop at every stop?
Only when there's someone
waiting to get on at that stop
or someone pushes the button.
If there's no one there
and no one's pushing it,
they'll drive past.
The other problem I have
is that your bus might stop
way down the road
from where you're going.
You might have to get off
at the closest possible distance.
Can you stop it and get off?
Google Maps shows you where the bus stops are,
so you work out which one's closest.
So you can't stop earlier?
No.
Well, you can't stop.
Ask them to make an unscheduled stop.
Him or her to make an unscheduled stop.
Before, like, the stop.
No.
Oh, wait.
You would.
No, but they might drive right past you when you're going.
I reckon if you're really hot, you could get away with it.
And if you're the only one on the bus.
Maybe.
And it was like, darn, bus drivers aren't monsters.
They want you to be safe.
If you're like, please stop, they have to stop at the next thing.
They won't, though.
Most of the time, they won't.
Well, they've got a schedule.
Otherwise, you'd be stopping for everyone.
It's not an Uber, Megan.
Also, I don't know how to pay for it.
You give them money or you get a card.
No, you can't just give them money, can you? They don't like it when you give them money. Why don a card No You can't just give them money
Oh they don't like it
When you give them money
Because I always used to give them
Why don't they have F-boss
A big note
And they were like
Yeah
They'd be like
Because I've got to make change for it
Caitlin are you in the same bus
As this aren't you
In the same bus
It's the same boat
It's the same boat
I used to have to bus
In Wellington
Because I didn't have a car
But I wouldn't
Do it up here
So you're a transport snob as well Public transport snob I used to have to bus in Wellington because I didn't have a car, but I wouldn't do it up here.
So you're a transport snob as well, public transport snob.
Does it tell you how long it's going to take?
Yep.
Does it?
Yep.
That's pretty good.
Google Maps is amazing, aren't you? Google Maps is great.
No, I've caught heaps of buses in my time.
Yeah, so you're down to earth.
Hey, you're right, smug.
Yeah, that's right.
Legend over here.
Not afraid to tap on and tap off.
James, you're not scared of public transport, James?
No, I've taken a lot of public transport, for sure.
Buses, trains.
Ferries?
Have you taken a ferry?
No, I've taken a ferry.
Only to Waiheke.
I've taken a ferry to Waiheke.
Well, there you go.
For Venus.
Yeah, right.
As in Uber public transport?
No.
It's private. Venus. Yeah, right. Is an Uber public transport? No. Okay.
It's private.
Well, tomorrow... I'm down to Earth too, just by the way, but I just
don't know how to do it. Why don't you just call yourself
down to Earth? Because he said
you're down to Earth to like James in there
and I was like, I'm down to Earth.
Oh, I thought you were just making a statement.
Guys, I'm down to Earth. I am.
Well, tomorrow you can experience it because we're going to make you do it.
Can someone come with me?
Can someone come with me?
Please.
No.
Maybe like a camera person, but they're not helping you.
It's like the Amazing Race.
I'm actually scared of the driver.
You would be terrible on the Amazing Race.
I know.
I know that about myself.
You'd be like, where's my limousine?
But bus thing totally aside, she'd just be terrible on The Amazing Race. I know. I know that about myself. We'd be like, where's my limousine? But bus thing totally aside, she'd just be terrible on The Amazing Race.
We'd be like, run.
I'd be like, no way.
You're going to sleep on the side of the road tonight.
Not happening.
Good morning, New Zealand.
I'm about to tell you the story of how someone nearly, a stranger nearly saw my peachy yesterday.
Peachy, okay.
So yesterday I went home.
I had a nasty text on the text machine
and I put up a thing on my Instagram
and just basically called them out.
Yeah.
So I went home and I got some very, very kind messages.
Thank you for all those people who messaged them in to me.
Very nice messages.
But I was going through and trying to thank everyone
in the bath.
So yes, like, baths are my thing
and I was like, treat yourself.
A day bath? I always have day baths.
A day bath? Yeah.
You have more baths than any other adult I know.
It's my me time.
You and my mum. Yeah, it's a real
boomer thing. Couple of middle-aged ladies having a lot of time.
You bitch.
How often do you have to turn the hot tap on?
No, see, I have it scalding hot.
We finally learnt what she spends her power bill on.
The one thing that she pays for because they sit with their lights off
and no heat pump on during winter.
So the one thing she pays for is hot water.
Yeah, it's a bath.
No, I had it scalding hot like I can barely get in it.
And then it takes ages to cool down.
Right.
So I was having a bath and I had a face mask on and I was-
Don't treat yourself.
I know.
I was like, stuff this a-hole on the text machine.
I'm going to treat myself.
So I was risking it too because I was in the bath on my phone.
Yeah, because you could drop that at any moment.
But I'm pretty good at it now because I'm well-practiced.
Do you have one of those tables that go across the bath
so you can put your cheese and wine on?
But if someone wants to get me one of those for Christmas,
I'd much appreciate it.
I'll give you one of those for Christmas.
Would you?
We should get one of those old pallets.
No.
On the side of the...
They swell.
Yeah, don't make me one.
Because I made one out of some plywood I had. No, I'm going to hand make you one. No, don't make me one. Because I made one out of some plywood I had.
No, I'm going to hand
make you one.
No, don't make me one.
Because I've got power tools.
I've got the tools.
We should make one.
No, don't make me one.
Let's do that.
We're going to make you
a bath shelf.
Is that what you call them?
A bath shelf.
We'll do it out of recycled...
We'll cut down a cowrie tree.
That's not how recycling works.
Oh, you know...
That's exactly what recycling is, Megan.
What else are you going to do
with that tree?
Let it rot?
It's reused, rejuiced, re-signed.
You could probably buy me one for like $20 and not go to all that effort.
No, Vaughn and I are going to hand, and then we'll get that thing.
I'll get splinters.
What was that thing in Workshop where you burn in and you can write?
Dude, I've found one.
It's like, this is going to be way easier.
What?
$20 from the warehouse.
I told you.
Oh, $17 from Kmart.
Who wants to go lower than that?
I had $20 at the warehouse and I've got $17 at Kmart.
Well, warehouse, if you're listening, if you can do that for 16.
Stevens, I'm looking at you.
Oh, Stevens.
I'm going to go below 17.
Bougie ass Stevens.
Okay, Stevens one.
Well, warehouse, balls in your court.
Yeah, balls in your court, warehouse.
So yeah, I don't have one of those.
So, they do a price match.
It's not the same product, though, is it?
No.
Which one looks nicer?
Pretty close.
It's pretty close.
Okay.
I'm imagining both were made in a Southeast Asian country.
Out of lovely teak wood.
No, that bamboo.
Oh, okay.
That's good then.
Lovely.
Okay.
So, here's the scene.
Got my face mask on.
It's not a pretty one. It's good then. Lovely. Okay. So here's the scene. Got my face mask on. It's not a pretty one.
It's a brown mud one blotched all over my face.
Naked, obviously, in the bath.
Don't make that face.
Do you bathe naked?
I'm always clothed.
You like to do it in your speedos, eh?
Just in case.
You see yourself.
And sitting there with my phone replying to lovely messages.
Now, these lovely messages were from men and women.
Thank you very much to the men who took the time to reply.
Because it was a man that riled you up, wasn't it?
Well, actually, we don't know that for sure.
But from the text, I would say, probably.
Now, if you go to Instagram and you go to where you're writing messages to someone and your DMs, you'll notice that up the top is the camera.
The little camera.
Yeah, and if they're online at the same time, it spins.
Like, they're available for a video chat.
So, instead of, I tried to scroll, and if you scroll too close up there, you hit the camera.
Again, you've hit the camera.
I'm assuming you've hit the camera and you're naked in the bath.
As I'm replying to a guy.
Yeah, right.
No bath caddy.
This is the problem with no bath caddy.
The bath caddy would probably cover.
$119 at Stephen's a bath caddy.
Oh, no.
That's $100 more expensive than the warehouse
in Kmart.
Does it have a wine, because some of them have
wine holes where you can put the glass and it goes
into the hole. No, this is, this,
look, I'm telling you, it can't have any more
features than the $17 one.
It could have Bluetooth charging or speakers
or something in it. Oh look, that one's got the bougie little,
you slide the glass. Oh, that's cool.
It's got a book holder.
I can put my phone in the book holder, right, that one's got the bougie little, you slide the glass. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, that is, it's got a book holder. Got a couple of there.
I can put my phone in the book holder, right?
And that's adjustable width too.
Oh, that's nice.
This isn't an ad for Kmart's bath caddy.
Oh, is that the Kmart one?
I thought there was a,
I thought that was the Flash Stevens one.
$17.
Lovely.
Someone said they're a bed, bath and pee on you.
They're charging.
Oh, yeah.
It's my Secret Santa listening?
Because we've got a $20 limit for that.
Yeah, it's $17.
And they can buy you a $3 scratchy.
Or a $3 bath bomb.
I'll play.
I'll play.
Yeah, okay.
So I've hit the camera.
Sorry, okay.
So back to you're naked.
You're in the bath.
No bath, caddy.
Tried to scroll on a DM on Instagram.
And you've accidentally video called.
Yeah.
You've hit the video call.
Do you know the moment where you're not expecting
to do a FaceTime or a video call
and you're like, what's happened here?
What is this?
It's like a skin colour.
I can see skin colour.
How is this?
You're like, what is happening here?
Almost like you're like, yuck.
What is that?
And it's calling this stranger
who sent me a lovely message, granted.
Yeah.
He's a guy and I'm about to video call him a frightful picture of me naked in the bath.
Now, my question is, do I know when he's picked up?
Because there was a beat.
There was a beat when it was definitely calling.
You could see me naked.
Oh, my God.
And I did hang up.
But is there a possibility that he had picked up before I'd hung up?
No, not no.
But there is.
Next time he goes on, it'll say video chat ended.
Like that you tried to call him.
So he's like, I'll see you soon.
And I was like, forget about this guy. What a loser. You're great. And then you're like, I need to tried to call him. So he's like, I'll send you something nice. Forget about this guy. What a loser.
You're great. And then you're like,
I need to talk to this guy.
He doesn't know you're in the
bath until now.
So now it's even worse.
Yeah.
Okay. As long as he didn't see me.
I don't think he would have. I think you're fine.
Yeah. I am on the
Be Bath and Beyond website. I can't find any. Ien the. Yeah. I am on the Be Bath and Beyond website.
I can't find any.
I've searched.
What would you search?
Bath tray?
Caddy.
Caddy.
It's called a caddy.
Just search caddy.
Don't put bath.
Just put caddy.
No, nothing under caddy.
Just.
Caddy.
Because I don't have a shower.
There's a shower caddy. They've got shower caddies.
Oh, no.
Here we go.
A bamboo bath rack.
Yeah.
That's $49.90.
No, see.
What?
Yeah, no. Don't tell me it's any better quality either because it's all bamboo, isn't it? Well, that's $49.90. No, see, what? Yeah, no.
Don't tell me it's any better quality either because it's all bamboo, isn't it?
Well, it's a Kmart one.
Someone works at Stevens and they say the only one they have is $119.
Go with the Kmart one.
Somebody said Bunnings is rocking them at $70.
Okay.
Bunnings.
They won't price match unless it's the same brand.
Huh.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, I feel like we've got to see the Kmart one before we give it to you.
No, I'm all down for the Kmart one.
I don't know.
It looks great.
Why are rusts?
You don't want to have a rusty bit in your bath.
No, no, it's not.
It's stainless steel.
Let me have a look here.
I mean, we can probably do the online shopping off air, Vaughn.
Well, I think everybody's really invested now.
It's got pretty good reviews.
Four and a half stars.
Sandra D,
not the one from Greece.
She said, looks good and fits the bath.
I was worried it wouldn't as it is right
against the wall.
That's good to know.
You've got a wall.
It's on the wall.
But Sandra D's one works.
Moya says, great, perfect to relax in the bath.
That's good.
Tanya, she's a verified buyer.
Looks great in my bathroom.
This is some good reviews.
The Bed Bath & Beyond one apparently was on sale the other day for $11.
Oh, well, you missed that.
So that's it for Sunday, Monday.
We might still be.
Might still be.
All right, we'll give that a look.
We'll be sure to keep you in the loop.
So are we doing Christmas presents for each other now?
No, you'll just buy me that.
I'm not.
No, I'm not buying.
I thought we decided to pass that on to Megan's Secret Santa.
So this is normally actually called Vaughn's Sad Story to Make You Cry.
Vaughn, normally you find a sad story,
and the goal is to make producer Caitlin and Megan sob uncontrollably and cry.
Yeah.
Well, today Megan's flipped it around because she's found a story.
I also saw the story last night and even I was just like, wow.
Yeah.
I cried reading it out loud to my husband. And I had to pause to compose myself.
I've just glanced at it again and I'm feeling a bit...
Okay, Producer Caitlin, how are you feeling after the long weekend?
Are you volnese today or are you okay?
I'm a little bit volnese.
Okay.
My niece cried yesterday when I left her, so that was a bit hard for me.
Did that make you cry as well?
Yeah.
Anya, what about you?
Are you in an emotional state after the weekend?
Yeah, always.
Does this segment normally make you cry, though?
The dog that needed BK made me bull for a week.
What was the dog that needed...
Oh, the dog that was dying and they gave it away.
No, I just really touched you.
I'm not even really an animal person,
but I think the BK touched me.
You're a BK person, though.
Yeah.
Okay, so...
The BK lounge.
So, okay, a warning Yeah. Okay, so. The BK lounge.
So, okay, a warning.
Get your tissues ready.
When you try your best. I mean, this song does the hard yards every time.
Okay, little bit of backstory.
This is an American woman.
She posted this exchange on her Facebook.
Her name is Chastity.
And she would text her father's mobile phone
on the anniversary of his death every year.
Okay?
I'm going to read you her message.
This is the anniversary for the anniversary.
Let's just be happy that she did it.
We've already nearly got him.
Hi, Dad.
It's me.
Tomorrow is going to be a tough day again.
It's been four years since I lost you and not a day goes by that I don't miss you.
A lot has happened in that small time, but I'm sure you know since I tell you all the time.
I beat cancer and I haven't gotten sick since you were here.
Like I promised you, I would take better care of myself.
Oh, my God.
I finished college and graduated honours.
Now I'm back and finishing it up again.
I fell in love.
I had my heart broken.
You would have killed him.
But I picked my head up and became an even stronger woman.
I lost all of my friends and I hit rock bottom,
but I found someone who came into my life and saved me.
I don't have children yet.
You'd be so happy, but I'm ready. I still drive mama crazy every day, but I'm keeping her on her toes. I'm sorry I
wasn't there when you needed me the most, but one day we will have our chance to watch that game.
I'm afraid of marriage because I'll have to walk that long aisle alone. Oh, shit. And you won't be there to tell me everything will be okay.
I'm doing great.
You'd be so proud of the woman I have become.
No smart mouth and attitude has not changed,
and no, I haven't gained weight.
It only goes to my head.
I just wanted to say I love you, and I really do miss you.
Lights will die. I just wanted to say I love you and I really do miss you.
She sends messages like this all the time to her dad's mobile phone.
For herself, right?
Yeah.
It's like writing a diary, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Keeping them updated and it's like therapeutic for her.
Yeah.
On the fourth anniversary, she sends that text message and she gets a reply.
From heaven.
Is that from heaven, Megan?
Because you know I'm an atheist.
This is going to ruin everything for me.
No, wait.
Hi, sweetheart.
Sweetheart.
I am not your father, but I've been getting all your messages for the past four years.
I look forward to your morning messages and your nightly updates.
My name is Brad.
And I lost my daughter in a car wreck.
Oh, my God.
On August 2014.
And your messages have kept me alive.
I'm sorry.
This is really hard. Oh, my God. What? No. I'm sorry, this is really hard.
Oh my God, what?
No, I don't want to do it anymore.
Hang in there.
We got this.
When you text me, I know it's a message from God.
I'm sorry you lost someone so close to you,
but I've listened to you over the years and I have watched you grow and go through more than anyone.
I've wanted to text you back for years,
but I didn't want to break your heart.
You're an extraordinary woman,
and I wish my daughter would have become the woman you are.
Thank you for your everyday updates.
You remind me that there is a God,
and it wasn't his fault that my little girl is gone.
He gave me you, my little angel,
and I knew this day was coming.
Everything will be okay.
Oh, God.
Push yourself every day
and shine the light God gave you. I'm so
sorry. You have to go through this
but if it makes it any better, I'm very proud
of you. P.S. I think your father
would be happy to know that you
brought another dog instead of having children.
Take care and I look forward
to your updates tomorrow.
Oh, Caitlin.
Oh, my gosh.
I need a break.
You did so well writing that out.
Look at my hands.
That didn't get born, though.
That didn't get you, though, did it?
No.
I thought it would.
I thought you guys built it up a bit too much.
Are you kidding?
She lost her dad And in messaging her dad
She found someone
Who lost her daughter
When you were like
It almost got fledged
That's really touching
That's really sad
She lost her dad
And she continued texting
This man who had
Lost his daughter
But are they like
Caught up for a coffee
Or anything?
Is there any word
On her fellow?
It only just happened
i knew that james wouldn't cry he was laughing i saw him laughing i love you i love my dad i
just want to say that dad i love you what's the eye yeah didn't hit you needs more bk i reckon
it needed a whopper it needed a whopper yeah you needed a whopper. Yeah, you're right, actually. I hope that he walks her down the aisle when she decides to marry.
He will, though.
He will.
He will, though.
Oh, my God.
He will, though.
This is what the world needs more of.
And a fry pod.
Ew.
I got an email that I discussed with the boys this morning.
Had no intention of talking about it on the radio.
But, you know, these guys...
Made us laugh.
We instantly thought, this needs to be discussed.
Why don't you read people the message that you received overnight?
Okay.
Hi, Megan.
Blah, blah, blah on Instagram.
We've seen your social media, da, da, da.
We would love to partner with you in a collaboration.
Sounds great.
Sci-fi, doesn't it?
Sounds like ching-ching, money, money, money.
So this company aims to break the social stigmas behind female wellness.
Sounds right up my wheelhouse.
Wheelhouse?
Alley.
Is that what you call it?
Right up your alley, right in your wheelhouse.
Two different sayings.
Cool. Yeah, merged there. You don't want alley, right in your wheelhouse. Two different sayings you've merged there.
You don't want to go right up your wheelhouse.
It doesn't sound comfortable.
Or put it in your alley.
There's a lot of this coming.
As I said the second one,
I was like,
we didn't do the second one.
I got a feeling we're going to
media on the horizon.
Why shouldn't something
as important and natural
as self-love be promoted openly?
And I was like, you should love yourself.
This is, you know, this is very important.
Absolutely.
And they talk about empowering women across the world.
I was like, yes, again, totally for it.
And they want people around the world to embrace self-love
and bring forward discussions relating to topics
that were previously stigmatized
or considered taboo.
And I'm like, where is this going?
Okay.
They go on to give me compliments.
We don't need to read those out.
That's so New Zealand of you.
So they want to send me something called the Empress.
And I was like, what's that?
And they were like, refer to the brochure attached.
Oh, sweet, naive Megan.
And then I realised that by self-love,
they mean like self, by yourself love.
Yeah.
Like loving yourself by yourself.
Yeah.
The one that Vaughn does five times a day.
I beg your pardon.
That kind of loving yourself.
I wonder if my name's Sully.
We could be adults about this?
They said they have 300 plus five star reviews for this product.
I'm sorry, but who's buying an adult fun toy and then like clicking a star rating?
Women.
Really?
Why not?
You need to know if it's good or not.
Okay, right.
Helping out the sisterhood.
Let me know what you think.
We think we could make a real difference for women around the world.
And you know, I'm like, I'm all about empowering women and like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Megan, the Empress is the most talked about sex toy on Instagram.
154 US dollars it goes for.
Oh my God.
Over 200 New Zealand dollars.
So here's my question.
I don't really want to be...
I don't really want to be putting up videos.
So I've already solved your problem
as to how you do this.
Because what they want you to post on your Instagram,
something about...
that you've used the Empress.
I guess endorsing... Endorsing the Empress. I guess endorsing.
Endorsing the Empress.
So this is my idea.
Play the music.
Okay, so imagine black.
Yep.
Okay, so you can't see anything.
This is a video on Instagram.
It's going to slowly fade in.
Yep.
And it's going to be a close-up on Megan's face.
Okay.
Okay, but it starts out as black.
Right.
Excuse me.
Slow fade to Megan's face.
Her hair is a mess.
Like she is shambles, like her mascara's run,
her eyeliner's...
She's got a little bit of snot on her nose.
Oh my God.
Her lips are skewed.
It's smeared on her face.
So to black, I'll be playing the role of Megan.
Okay, is there a light mist of sweat on her face?
No, it's just running off her face.
Okay.
Okay, so black.
Yeah.
Noise will start.
Imagine about three or four seconds in is when the fade starts to happen up.
So it starts black.
And this is where that starts coming at you.
And you see her face is slowly in your life.
Oh, my God, what's happened?
Is she okay?
It looks like she's been running
from a bad guy.
Yeah.
And she's like,
oh my,
oh my,
oh my God.
Oh Jesus.
Sweet Jesus.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
Are you saying mom?
Mom.
No, nothing.
Just...
Right.
Okay.
Five stars.
Doesn't cover it.
And then collapse.
Right.
Fade to black.
Logo.
Logo.
The Empress.
Maybe a voiceover.
No voiceover.
You know who needs to do the voiceover.
Oh, shit.
Okay.
And then James comes in and all he says is, the Empress. Go, hit it, okay. And then James comes in and all he says is,
the Empress.
Go, hit it, James.
I think you need to bring him in.
No, I don't think you do need to bring him in.
I'm just thinking Mingus.
No, no, no.
Give him the last force.
Yeah.
The Empress.
Yes!
Nailed it.
We got it.
God, I hope we all get a free one now.
Book the video team.
We'll do it at work.
No!
Book the video team.
I think we're wasted already.
We really need an ad agency.
This is the modern day Mad Men.
Like, people would just...
I must know more.
You would never let me live this down if I post about a-
If you didn't-
A FT.
If you didn't do it like that, I wouldn't let you live it down.
Don't just be like, hey guys, me again.
I've just really-
Can I say the word?
No, probably not.
If you're worrying about it, maybe don't.
Guys, I've just been pleasuring myself.
That's as clean as I can get.
I just wanted to let you know about it.
By the by, you get lost in the junk.
Hashtag spawns, though.
Black and white.
You've got to hashtag spawns.
Fade in from black.
People are like, is it pleasure?
Is it pain?
What's wrong with her?
Is she exhausted?
I don't like promoting anything unless I've actually, like, used it.
Now, an issue to be addressed.
Yesterday on Instagram, well, actually,
I had commented on this photo shoot A couple of days ago
Jack Tame
I believe it's pronounced
Jack Tame
New Zealand's
Favourite
Young broadcaster
Yeah
Even though he's not that young
He just still looks young
He did a shoot
For Metro magazine
And
He posted all the different photos
Yeah interesting outfits
Interesting outfits
Oh what do you mean?
They look great
Well, like I said
You look like all of the Doctor Whos
Right?
Because I did
It was like a very mixed match
Of everything
But, you know, good on him
And I didn't want it to come across as jealousy
So I did one of those
Ha ha faces at the end
Why were you jealous?
No, no, no
That's the thing
No, no, no
I didn't want it to come across
Because it wasn't
But you weren't
Yeah, yeah
It wasn't like that.
So I said, you look like all of the Doctor Whos.
So then any time anyone I follow comments on that,
I get a notification saying so-and-so also commented on that.
So imagine my surprise when yesterday it said Megan Pappas
has also commented on Jack Tame's photo.
Interesting.
And it said, so fashion, baby.
And I was like.
It said so fash, baby.
So fash, baby.
I was like, you don't call people baby.
No, you say babes.
Babes, so fashion, babes.
So fash, babes.
So fash, babes.
Nah, not even babe.
It's got to be babes.
It's got to have the S on it to make it non-sexual.
Because baby's very personal.
Baby's very, very.
Like, you call Andy P baby.
I've never heard you call anybody else baby.
But I always call people babes.
And I don't, like, so I saw this and I scrolled through the pictures.
I was like, that looks cool.
Like, good on him. And so I wanted to and I scrolled through the pictures. I was like, that looks cool. Like, good on him.
And so I wanted to write something, like, supportive.
Yeah.
And so in my mind, it read, so fash, baby.
Was she, this accent that she just did.
But I should have, yeah.
But even then, that's a bit creepy.
Saf.
I should have written S-A-A.
Sarf.
And then F for fash.
And then A with two dots above it.
And then S-H.
Sarf.
Fash.
Babs.
And then I did a heart.
But even then you'd go babes.
I wouldn't go baby.
I did a heart at the end being like, love it.
Yeah, right.
No.
But it reads so fash baby.
And then heart.
It reads creep Is what it reads
Absolute creep
It really does
But then
Did you edit
Edit the comment
Or delete in the

Because then I
Has anyone

So things like that.
Yeah, and then Megan's comment, so fash baby.
So fash baby. Red love heart. So not a colourful,, and then Megan's comment. So fash, baby. So fash, baby.
Red love heart.
So not a colourful, cheeky, multicoloured heart.
Do you think, how would he have, now I'm really worried about it.
But I don't want to edit it because I don't want him to change,
like think that I, I don't want to draw attention to it now.
But thank you for drawing attention to it.
But yeah, I don't know.
I would have...
Yeah.
Do I delete it now?
Or edit, yeah.
But if I delete it now...
He's not going to know
because he's got heaps of comments on it.
He won't notice.
He will notice if everybody goes to jack underscore tame,
finds Megan's comment and likes it,
and then goes,
this is a bit creepy. Yeah. Do you get a notification if people like your comment on it? tame, finds Megan's comment and likes it. And then goes, this is a bit creepy.
Yeah.
Do you get a notification of people liking your comment?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Reply to Megan's being like, this is a bit forward.
Do that sort of stuff.
Like, aren't you married?
Like that sort of thing.
Yeah.
And then he'll be like, real awkward.
Because if I send him a DM and I'm like, hey, so that comment,
like, is that weird?
That's weird.
Yeah, it is because you're having to explain your creep.
I just meant to like sigh a fash, baby. And? Yeah, it is, because you're having to explain your creep. I just meant to, like, sigh of fash, baby.
And then, like, huh.
No, again, like, just listen to yourself say that.
Yeah.
He's got a dress pants on with a hoodie in this picture.
Is he going to partner in the moment?
Am I going to get hunted down?
Maybe.
Maybe.
Wow, I mean, he's absolutely flavour of the month.
So I'd imagine you'll just be.
Right.
There'll be some fierce competition.
Right.
For his affection.
I'm also married and I'm not like...
He's like a friend that I'm not like...
It's just I just read your comment again
and I thought it was inappropriate.
Oh my God.
Wow.
Has he...
What do I do?
Do I delete it now?
No, it's too late to delete it.
Oh my God, why is everyone commenting?
Yeah, do it.
That's good stuff.
Oh yeah, 44 likes.
Good stuff.
Now, it was about yesterday, about this time yesterday on the show
when we discussed the appropriate or inappropriate nature
of Megan's comment on a Instagram post by Jack Tame, broadcaster.
It was a fashion shoot for the Metro magazine.
He looked very dapper.
Many different outfits.
He looked great.
Megan wrote,
So fash, baby, heart.
Now, we asked you to go along
and see how you felt that fit into the...
No, you didn't.
You asked people to comment
on the inappropriate nature.
I think we should look at the intention
that was behind the comment.
It was very inappropriate.
You should have said babes.
And usually I do, but in the heat of the moment.
You're a married woman.
It just came across as creepy is all we're saying.
Also a little condescending.
Yeah.
Oh.
I was just trying to be supportive.
Well, I mean, those are our thoughts.
So we thought we'd get the thoughts from the man himself.
Jack, time on the phone. Good morning. So we thought we'd get the thoughts from the man himself, Jack Tone, on the phone.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Oh, my God.
Did you wonder yesterday why all of a sudden you had more followers
and, like, a couple of hundred comments on this post?
Yeah.
Yeah, but, I mean, I was surprised, but then I also wasn't
because, like, here's the thing.
I did this fashion shoot, and then everyone was
commenting, like Vaughan commented, and he was
married, and I was like, oh, that's all good, and then
Matilda Rice commented, and I was like,
she's with, ah, that's all good,
and then Megan commented, and I was like,
I see you, girl.
You know?
Did you, oh my gosh. I see you.
Did you actually
see that comment initially?
Yeah.
Well, only because you've been liking all of my old photos over the last couple of weeks, you know,
like going down in my archive.
Well, well, well.
The plot don't thicken.
Oh, did you guys not talk about that?
No, no.
Oh.
Megan.
Oh.
Oh, yeah, no, no. I just, yeah, i came across it by chance um yeah and i thought megan's
gone very red you're gonna spread these likes out you do one one day one minute no give some people
some time to get between you and all these lights just being supportive that That's okay, Jack.
Definitely creepy.
So, because... How do you feel about...
I mean, look, I'm all about a big love.
So, you know, I feel very positive about it.
No, no, no.
You know, I have met Megan and her husband
on many occasions.
And it's clear that...
They're trying to line up a three-way.
It's very clear to me now, actually.
It's dawned on me.
Even Andrew got in on it yesterday,
so I was like, yo, you know, okay,
let's get together, let's talk, guys.
It's 2019, baby.
It's 2019.
Exactly.
Imagine if you're one of those couples you see on 60 Minutes or that Sunday show, and there are three of them, and they all live together. They're all happy. Exactly. God, imagine if you're one of those, like, couples you see on 60 Minutes
or that Sunday show and there are three of them and they all live together.
They're all happy.
Yeah.
Try a relationship.
Like Vicky, Christina, Barcelona.
Like one of those sort of situations.
Yes.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
But Megan, Andrew and Jack.
I mean, look, crazy things, guys.
Oh, God, this took a turn.
Even two on one, I still think she'd beat you both alive.
She's got an insatiable hunger.
She's like
the very hungry caterpillar.
Day one, one red apple. Day two,
Jack and Andrew.
Day three,
Jack, Andrew and the red apple.
Oh my god.
My dad loves Jack, so
he'll be in on this too.
Hang on, it's 2019, but on this too. Oh, hang on.
It's 2019, but that's too far.
Oh, no, it didn't mean... Okay.
Oh, my God.
Banter.
Banter.
I'm never liking your pictures ever again, by the way, Jack.
No, I appreciate it.
I really...
Look, being in fashion shoots isn't my natural domain,
so I very much appreciate your support, Megan.
Oh, yeah.
No worries.
Well, you can no doubt count on it in the future.
Jack Tame, thank you so much for taking the time this morning
to embarrass Megan.
We really appreciate it.
Thanks, Jack.
Oh, my God.
Megan's Life Hacks.
Okay, so it's been a while since I've done a life hack,
but this one is essential for summer.
Now, this life hack might be one of my favourites.
I think it will work 100% of the time.
Now, Megan, you've gone shopping and we're doing a role play.
Everyone has a role in this.
You've been to Bunnings for this role play.
You're going to really appreciate this.
Good organising.
And I can see ice cream too.
So I'm all on board already.
Who am I in this roleplay?
Because I've got ice cream.
So this is a dairy scenario.
A good old scoop ice cream dairy scenario.
And it's a life hack if you're buying an ice cream this summer.
Yes.
So, Fletch.
Why don't dairies do as much scoop ice cream as they used to?
It's time consuming, isn't it?
Right, is that the issue?
Some still do it.
No, he'd still do it.
He would have been an absolute money printer.
Because how much is one of those big 10 litre boxes of ice cream?
Oh, probably quite cheap for them.
Yeah, and you're charging $3.80 for a double.
But then like, the wrapped ice cream's like your Memphis's and stuff and your Tip Tops.
Nah, I like scoop ice cream.
And they still prefer a cone.
Really?
Every time.
If there's a cone option,
I'll always go for a cone.
Last longer than a Memphis meltdown.
So, in this scenario,
Fletcher, you're a customer.
Okay.
I'm also a customer.
Oh, okay.
Now, are we together in this scenario
or individual?
No, I feel like you'll embarrass me.
By the way,
we're a dairy in an affluent area
because we've got waffle cones.
We're not using the little,
the tiny little cup cones. Oh, okay. If you're going to treat yourself, treat yourself right. For a waffle cone.'ve got waffle cones. We're not using the little tiny little cup cones.
Oh, okay. If you're going to treat yourself,
treat yourself right. Get a waffle cone.
So, Vaughn, you are the dairy
owner. You are going to be scooping
this situation. Why is Vaughn the dairy owner?
I'm Peter. No, I was just worried you were going to
trip the ice cream. Do we know
you well enough to call you Pete or is this our first time
on your dairy? No, I don't know.
Does this need to be... You don't want to know me, right? No. Because you want nothing. You want first time on your dairy? No, I don't know. Does this need to be,
you don't want to know me, right?
No.
You want nothing. Yeah.
You want nothing with Pete.
Formal.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay, so we're going to
order individually.
So what am I ordering?
So you're going to order
a double scope.
Okay, shall I go first
into the dairy?
Yeah, so if you just walk
into the dairy,
I'm going to wait.
I'm walking in.
That's why I went to Bunnings.
How much was that at Bunnings?
50 bucks.
I had one of these.
That's for a dairy garage.
50 dollars for a dairy ding-donger.
Not my money.
Hey, we can attach it to the door.
We're going to burn through the show budget.
It's already the second day.
I know, yeah.
Should I walk in again?
Go and go.
Hello?
Also,
I don't mind, I'll be with you in a minute.
Just the bread delivery's just got here.
Oh, God. Why did I give him
this role?
How's that?
Oh, that bloody thing's a pain, I tell you.
Why doesn't it just do one bing bong?
I should have just got a bell above the door,
so we open the door.
Ding dong.
Okay.
G'day, mate.
How are you?
Pete.
Oh, okay.
Fletch here.
How are you?
Nice to meet you.
I don't know why we're doing this.
You're not from around here.
I've never seen you before.
No, I don't need the pleasantries.
Excuse me, Megan.
I was just out the back unpacking the bread.
I'm just holidaying with the family and I thought I'd just
steal away some time and get myself an ice cream.
Could I have a double scoop
of the jelly tip, please?
What kind of cone do you want?
Well, what do you have? A waffle cone,
pine cone, cup cone.
I'll go waffle cone. Pine cone.
Traffic cone.
Okay. So two scoops, please.
Two scoops.
Yep.
Just.
Oh, Christ.
I keep my scoop.
I get snappy.
I keep my scoop in a wind glass.
Why did Megan do this job?
Megan, you wanted to do a role play.
I know.
Okay, so.
Oh, God.
Have you ever scooped ice cream before in your life?
It's gone.
It's just gone a little bit soft on the top.
Okay.
Two scoops. Two scoops.
Two scoops, please.
Is this the second scoop that you're doing?
This is the second scoop.
But dip it back in the hot water.
Are you an amateur?
No, you don't want to do that too badly.
Okay.
So that's your two scooper.
That's a pretty healthy scoop.
Are you done?
Okay, there we go.
There you go, mate.
Thank you so much.
$3.80.
$3.80.
I don't have any money.
Give me back my bloody ice cream then. You can't come in here and get a freebie. I'm80. I don't have any money.
Give me back my bloody ice cream then.
You can't come in here and get a freebie.
I'm leaving. I'm running a business.
I'm leaving.
Get the gun, Sue.
We've got another bloody runner.
All right.
Okay, I'm coming in.
Where's my bloody doorbell?
Oh, there we go.
Okay, I'm in the store, Peter.
We'll be taking this back to Bunnings.
Doesn't work properly, does it?
The party ice truck's here.
Oh, Christ, Peter, I just want an ice cream.
We'll get through some party ice at this time.
I promise we're getting to the life hack.
We'll get there.
How are you, love?
I'm great, Peter.
It's cold out there, isn't it, sweetheart?
You want some party ice?
Hey, sport. Don't call me sweetheart. Well, I've been called sport, Peter. It's cold out there, isn't it, sweetheart? You want some party ice? Hey, sport.
Don't call me sweetheart.
Well, I've been called sport, chief.
Peter, I would just like a single scoop today, please.
Just a single, Dale?
Yeah.
The jelly tip would be nice, actually.
All right.
God, this is a popular flavour.
Just had another bloke in here.
Said he was here on a family trip, but I didn't see anybody else.
Always a little bit suspect
with that park down the road. What goes on down there
this time of year?
You're...
Okay. Hold on, love.
You didn't stop
calling me love.
Terrible ice cream rolling.
So what's the life hack?
So actually, I've changed my mind. I'd
like to make it a double scope.
Just another scope of jelly chips. Sorry'd like to make it a double scoop. Just another scoop of jelly chips.
Sorry.
I'd make it a double.
All right.
Very uncouth.
What was the first one too small and you were wanting to...
Well, this is...
I'm getting to the point now of my life hack.
If you wait till they've done the first scoop to ask for your second scoop,
your first scoop will always be bigger.
Whose is bigger?
Yeah.
I've just come back into the school.
Ask for a single scoop.
When they've finished, ask for the second scoop.
Excuse me, Peter.
I've just seen you've rolled a double scoop there and can't help but notice it's smaller.
But it also, you know how a single scoop is always quite decent,
but when they do a second scoop,
they're always forced
to match the size
of the first scoop.
So you get a bigger double scoop.
So rather than getting
one double scoop,
you're getting two single scoops.
Yes.
But always wait for them
to do the first scoop
before you ask
for a second scoop.
And then you say,
can I have a second scoop?
Mm-hmm.
Because that is,
I didn't intend,
I was just doing it.
But look how much bigger
the single scoop times two is
than the original double scoop.
Yeah.
I mean, your rolling's pathetic.
It's not really rolled.
It went soft on the top.
It's harder down the bottom.
You're going to eat that now.
Oh, but I'm trying to be good.
Trying to be good.
As Fletch shakes a mouthful.
But seriously, that would work, right?
That will.
I mean, this was just one test, but it worked.
Megan, was this all worth the $50 bing bonger from Bunnings?
Yeah.
But I think we should just attach that to the...
Shut up.
Well, it keeps going up.
I'm not even in the dairy.
You bloody kids, bugger off.
Sorry about that. Can we just put it above the door? Are bloody kids, bugger off. Sorry about that.
Can we just put it above the door?
Are they shoplifting again?
Yeah.
Those kids?
They come in for the dirty magazines.
Sue said we should get rid of them,
but I tell you what,
they're a moneymaker for the truckies
that are going through this time of year.
Of course they are.
And for the men like yourself
who say you're here on a family holiday,
but really you're just popping in
for an ice cream and a porno.
Well. but really you're just popping in for an ice cream and a porno. Well, it's here.
The battle of Ray Ray's Chicken Cassie.
World famous.
Megan, you were brought up on this.
I was brought up on this.
This is my favourite thing my mum makes.
Her chicken casserole.
It's what I have when I go home.
We've been hearing about it for years.
We finally broke them
and on a recent trip to Nelson
enjoyed it immensely,
didn't we?
Yes, we did.
At the Sellers family home
in the home kitchen.
And we are going to release
the recipe because people
have been harassing us for it.
In fact,
after the show,
I believe you're filming
a how-to.
Is that news to you?
She's not a fan of cameras,
so we kind of kept that quiet.
Don't do photographs or autographs.
Me and my mum are going to get in the kitchen and film it.
This battle will be pitting your chicken casserole, Ray Ray,
against Josh Emmett's.
What is this called in the book, the recipe?
Chicken pot pie.
And it's actually from, the recipe's from an English guy,
Australian guy living in
England called Bruce Poole, who runs an amazing
restaurant in London called Chez Bruce. He's been
there for years. Okay. So no
pressure, Ray Ray. This is up against
a renowned world international chef.
These both look,
you know, there's a similarity
here. There is actually.
I had a wee cheeky look at it.
Had a wee sneaky look at the recipe and it's very nice.
I mean, I don't think that Josh's recipe has mayo in it, but...
And it didn't have wine.
No wine?
No wine.
No wine.
No wine in mine and definitely no mayo, but I like the mayo.
There's some merit in mayo, definitely.
I'd imagine if you'd add mayo, Josh, you'd make it yourself.
You wouldn't use like a Beast Foods.
Well, you'd think so, but, you know,
sometimes you've got to go down and dirty, don't you,
to really sort of get in there.
What about the shortcuts?
Okay, well, we're live on our Instagram, FBMZM.
We have a plate each, two plates, A and B.
I'm going in for A.
Are we all going to do A?
We're doing A and B. I'm going in for A. Are we doing this now? Are we all going to do A? All right. We're doing A.
Okay.
Well, I kind of already know which is which because, you know.
I do too because I can taste the wine in A.
That has not been shy on the wine.
I feel like this is more wine than last time, right?
Mother's little helper, he said, I think we need like this is more wine than last time, right? If we're honest. Did you get a bit excited?
Mother's little helper, he said,
I think we need a little bit more wine.
She's talking about my husband.
I was going to say, is that Toyboy?
He said, it's just got a little bit more zing.
Was it nice to see Toyboy again?
Because you like giving him a pinch on the bum, don't you?
Yeah, I do.
What about James?
Because you took quite a fancy to James, our producer.
I've already given him a smooch.
Have you good?
Okay, so obviously now we're trying B and we know, okay, right.
There's a bit of pastry on this one.
Oh, the pastry looks good.
Really good pastry.
This is hard for me.
Oh my God, they're both really good.
But different, really different.
Oh my God, Mum, I'm sorry.
Wow.
Megan, are you going to be torn here because you grew up on the Chicken Cassie?
So.
And, you know, Josh has come all the way in and made this.
You know how you can really like, like, an eye fillet steak with a fancy sauce and stuff,
but you also really like just a burger?
Mm.
So I think there's a time and place for both of them.
But my Lord, there's some flavour to that, isn't there?
Did you get a chunk of mushroom in your beak?
Yes.
I was just about to say,
because that was hidden under the pastry for me
because I'm going back for another mouthful
because I found a mushroom.
I don't know if this is good radio
just listening to people eat food,
but wow, both incredible.
It smells so good in here, doesn't it?
It does, doesn't it?
Yeah.
Ray, Ray, do you want to try
Josh's recipe? Do you want to try this?
Because I just think you should try this before we
deliver our verdict, see what you think
I need to try hers
Yes, please
It's very whiny
There is a lot of wine, now Ray Ray
what do you think of Josh's one there?
It's lovely
Yes, that's very nice There is a lot of wine. Now, Ray Ray, what do you think of Josh's one there? It's lovely.
Yes, that's very nice.
I might let you have my recipe if you let me have yours.
Totally.
Well, you're going to have to buy the book, though.
I've got a book for you, Ray Ray.
Don't worry about that.
We've got you sorted.
No, that is nice.
Ray Ray, would you be upset if we voted for Josh's recipe?
Oh, only half pie.
Half pie upset.
And she's like scoffing his pie.
Oh no, that's nice.
Yes, I think we have to say he's a winner.
Oh my God.
I actually came here fully prepared to lose today.
You know that, don't you?
Because I've, you know, and yours is absolutely amazing. I've got to say it's a delicious recipe.
The corn chips are the...
Yeah, yeah, totally.
And they're very similar, aren't they?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
One's bougie and one's bougie.
Yes.
Very much so.
It might have been the tarragon I put in it.
Is that what you're saying?
Yeah.
I grew it myself as well. It's the only thing I'm capable of growing. Oh, that's what it is? Oh, yeah. I grew it myself as well, so it's the only thing I'm capable of growing.
Oh, goodness.
That's what it is.
So what are we?
I don't know.
It's exciting.
I can't even look.
I can't.
No, you guys.
Megan, you do it.
She's your mum.
And it doesn't have to be a winner, does there?
Well, no.
Yeah, I think.
Well, no, because one's like.
Everybody's a winner.
Everyone's a winner, but, you you know there's a time and a place
for both of them
mum Josh won okay
but your pie's really good
that was ruthless
I can't believe
you did that
to your own mother
Megan's mum's not
going to tell her off
in front of her friends
but when it's just them
she's going to get
told off for that
yeah
silence
we didn't have corn chips
That's what it was missing
There is corn chips
They were both
Covered in melted cheese
Ray, Ray how do you feel?
Well we did say last night
When we were making it
We were under a lot of pressure
And there was something
Not quite right
When we were making it
Wasn't it?
It was just
The balance of flavours was off
I think it was the pressure
It felt like
You know
A cooking show
There was a lot of pressure
It just didn't
seem right. And then we didn't think we had enough
sauce, so we made some more. And then
we had a wine.
I can see where
this went wrong. And then
Mother's little helper on the other side of the bench
said, oh, I think it needs a bit more of this.
So we thought, a bit more of this.
They were both delicious
and we were very lucky to have had both delicious dishes this morning.
What a good sport.
Hey, we do have some copies of Josh's book to give away the recipe.
And so if you just text the recipe to 9696, we'll draw out three random texts and we'll send those out to you.
And you can try this delicious pie yourself.
Oh my God, it's amazing.
Josh Emmett, thank you so much for coming in.
Pleasure.
I need to say a quick hello to my boys, Finn and Louis.
They're listening at home as they do every morning.
And I've also brought you some carrot cake for dessert
because you need some sweetness after.
Yes!
Yes!
I'm going to post that recipe on Instagram tonight for you as well.
So boom, boom.
And also, if you find, like I did, your wife or loved one going,
oh, watching their phone, and you're a bit like, who are you watching?
And they're like, Josh.
And you're like, who's this bloody Josh guy?
It's actually just Josh Emmett's amazing amount of delicious recipes
on the gram.
That cools it a little bit.
But then that extractor fan of yours that hides away.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's cool.
We actually did that so we could shoot easily in the house
when we shoot recipe books.
So there's nothing hanging down above.
But it's a beautiful piece of kit.
It's nice.
I'm very lucky.
Yes.
You've got to get one, basically.
Oh, yeah.
Sell one of your goats and get one of those or something.
Josh, they're my friends.
All right, Josh, Ray, Ray, thank you so much.
And we are going to shoot
today the recipe
with Megan's mum
to get that recipe
for the Cassie out
into public.
Thanks, Ray Ray.
Thank you, Josh.
So I went to a little visit.
David Jones opened
in Auckland yesterday.
Yeah, Wellington's
had one for a while.
Yeah.
Every time we go down there,
I'm like, leave me.
This means nothing to me.
It sounds like Kmart.
Just as...
It's another Kmart.
It's a flash Kmart.
Right.
So we went there yesterday, had a wee walkies round,
and I was looking at the perfumes for a second,
turned my back for a second, and...
And someone's on them.
I turned around, for a second. And someone's on him.
I turned around and this beautiful woman who was working at David Jones was talking to my husband.
But they were like having a yarn, like really good mates.
Right.
She was like, oh my God, it's so good to see you. Did you, like, get your back all arched up and go?
No, I kind of just, like, edged slowly into the conversation.
First of all, I was like, okay, this girl is beautiful.
What's happening here?
She was like, it's so good to see.
Can you stop
she was like what are you doing what are you doing here and he's like oh we're just looking around um the new shop seeing what it's all about she's like awesome um like how long have you been here
he's like oh what do you mean she's like in in new zealand he's like oh like i've been here. He's like, oh, what do you mean? And she's like, in New Zealand. He's like, oh, like, I've been here a while.
Like, I live here. She's like, oh, you
live here now? And he's like, yeah.
My husband's from South Africa originally.
So I was like, oh, they're family
friends or something. But are you standing right
next to your husband now? At this point, I've moved in.
So he doesn't, like, introduce me.
Which is like,
hey, one of two things.
Fletch does that all the time. Yeah, but. How two things Fletch does that
All the time
Yeah but
How famously does Fletch
Never introduce anybody
No never
Never
Produces both
How good is Fletch
At bringing people
None of us have ever met
Somewhere and not
Introducing anybody
To anybody
Sometimes it's because
I don't know their name
See this is the thing
Oh you should
No I'm kidding
Obviously
No but I just assume
Everyone knows
Because I know But you knows because I know.
But you're right, I am pretty bad at that.
Also, it's just polite to bring someone in.
So either he didn't know her name or he didn't want me to know who she was.
I would imagine knowing Mr. Toyboy, he does not know her name.
So I'm standing there and I'm just like not being brought in.
But she gestured to me and smiled.
I was like, okay, okay, okay, what's happening?
So she's like, oh my God, how long,
so how long have you been here?
He's like, oh yeah, like a while.
I live here now.
She's like, cool, that's awesome.
Are you still doing music?
And he's like, yeah, yeah,
I'm still doing music on the side.
And I'm just thinking, how do these two know each other?
How hard is this time?
She's beautiful.
Like, beautiful.
Naturally beautiful too.
Just required
no effort. And she was just wearing a black t-shirt
part of a David Jones uniform
and she's like, beautiful.
And I was like, done up to the mines.
Not even on her lips.
So yeah, she's like, still doing music? He's like, yeah, yeah,
yeah, I'm still doing it on the side. She's like, she's like, still doing music? He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm still doing it on the side.
She's like, that's awesome.
Like, I'd love to hear some of the new stuff.
And he's like, yeah, yeah.
Oh, my.
I was just so baffled.
Even I'm, I'm, now I'm.
And she's like, so how long, like, how long have you lived in New Zealand?
And Andrew's like, oh, 12 years.
And she's like, oh, really? You don't live in Australia
anymore. And at this point he was like, who do you think I am? She's like, no, I know who you are.
And he's like, oh yeah, I never lived in Australia. And she's like, oh, crazy. And I was so baffled at this point.
He's like, can I just, do you know my name?
She's like, yeah, Guy Sebastian.
He looks nothing like Guy Sebastian. Apart from the fact that he's brown.
That's it.
That's what he is.
They both have quite Dense eyebrows Maybe
Megan they look
Nothing like each other
I'm just having a
Guy Sebastian
Refresher
Oh
Okay
I've just seen a photo
Where Guy Sebastian
I mean
We both love
Guy Sebastian
I know
He's lovely
He's a great man
She's only semi familiar With Guy Sebastian Like this photo lovely. He's a great man. She's only semi-familiar with Guy Sebastian.
Like this photo.
She was.
He's also half Malaysian, half Australian.
Okay, they look the same there.
No, they don't.
Yes, they do.
No, they look nothing like.
Eyebrows.
It's the eyebrows.
Eyebrows.
The hair.
Slight.
Barely.
Five o'clock shadow.
She was convinced though and he was like Oh no
My name's Andrew
But I was
I am a singer
And I was in a band
In New Zealand
She's like
Oh I know
Sorry
More house
Oh my god
Not all brown people
Look the same
Wow
No
Wow
No
Titanic
But that's okay
Yeah
Different band So not only She didn't know. Wow. He was like, no. Ah, Titanic, but that's okay. He had a band.
So not only she didn't know him, she thought he was Guy Sebastian.
Two other people.
Two other people.
Two other people before he had to tell her who he was.
Oh, but I was like, ma-ma-ma-ma.
Yeah, that's good for you.
That's good.
A little bit of a, yeah, every now and then when you've got a hot partner and they get
a blow to the ego, it's good.
Yeah.
It's good.
And you just sprinkled on the counter and then left, didn't you?
Yeah.
Ha. Meow. Yeah. We just walked away quietly and I had a wee chuckle.
Yeah.
How was his ego after that?
I mean, he likes Guy Sebastian,
so I think he was just holding on to that,
that he looked like him.
I mean, I could print out the messages we get to our Facebook page
saying that they went into Beaufort and come,
Mr. Toyboy was hot.
How many of those are we getting?
Quite a lot.
A lot of my friends as well.
I don't want you worrying like that when you're at work,
he is a Tomcat at play.
Print this up.
Places to be.
I've had so many friends that are just like, Mr. Toyboy, we're going back to the more.
What?
This is good for business.
Everyone calm down, please.
It's good for business.
If he was a minger, nobody would be going.
His sales would be through the floor.
The slices are nice, but the guy's a minger.
We're looking into our Plunkett books.
Plunkett's fun.
You're the only one on the show who's had experience.
No, I can remember my last Plunkett appointment.
I can remember my last Plunkett appointment when I was a kid.
I know it was the preschool check.
Because there was this, the Plunkett rooms in Morrinsville were right beside a park,
and we never went to that park, apart from Plunkett appointments.
Right.
I can't remember my last one.
They were like, we won't be seeing you again.
And I was like, the park?
Man, your parents are ruthless.
You're never going to that park.
Do you know how many, do you know what?
They take my kids to that park, my kids to that park all the time.
Oh yeah, your parents always do that.
Bastards.
Treat them better than their own kids.
How do they raise me
and feed me
and clothe me
and pay for my schooling?
How dare they?
But not take me
to a park.
The monsters.
We delved into
my blanket book yesterday
and I am immunised
against measles
which is great.
It's the reason
we got into this.
I could build
six blocks tall.
You struggled
with potty training though?
You were on the pot
for a long time.
Hey, don't you laugh, Megan. I've got to laugh now while I can. Yeah. You struggled with potty training though? You were on the pot for a long time. Yeah. Hey, don't you laugh, Megan.
I've got to laugh now while I can.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, Delvin, where's your plunker book?
Has your mum sent this in?
My mum sent, we'll go over it tomorrow.
She just, she just, my mum sent me the exact dates I was immunised.
She was like, yep, here they are and text them to me.
And I was like, can you send me some photos of the plunker book?
And sent me the cover?
So she needs help.
We want the pages.
We want the goss.
The descriptive nature.
Yeah.
So we join the Sellers family when Megan is two weeks old.
Oh, cute.
In 1967.
That's all?
She's 3.29 kgs.
Oh, my God.
Skinny, babes.
Cute.
I used to weigh 3 kgs.
Oh, my God.
And it reads breastfed, but mum has a breast infection.
Yeah.
As well as having very sore nipples.
Oh, so's mum.
So, yeah. so you should be.
Doctor prescribed antibiotics.
The hospital suggested supplementary 100 mils of feed
as well as the breast when it's better.
Right.
So you've had a supplementary feed there.
And then there's put oil packs.
So there's additional information on how to make your breasts.
Fix Mum's boobs. Put oil packs on. And then in information on how to make your breasts. Fix mum's boobs.
Put oil packs on, and then in brackets it says heat in the oven,
and try feeding again on tender breast in three days.
That's an oil pack.
Hot oil packs that you've heated in the oven.
Get low.
The 80s.
We rejoin the Sellers family where Megan is age 11 weeks.
Fed on demand and much happier.
Took a week to settle.
Usually sleeps from 8pm to 2.30am and then wakes for a feed and then again until 7.
Up for an hour.
Sleeps again in the morning.
So nothing's changed.
Still love your sleep.
Have another sleep in the afternoon.
Happy to entertain herself when awake more now.
And then it says you're having a rosehip syrup most days.
What is that?
That might explain your youthful appearance.
Yeah, because I put rosehip on my skin now.
So I've got a rosehip oil that I put on now.
Right.
How do you have a rosehip oil?
Well, when I did Have You Been Paying Attention on TV, I was on for one week and How do you have a rosehip oil? Well, when I did Have You Been Paying Attention on TV,
I was on for one week and someone sent me a collagen rosehip oil
and I was like, ouch, bitch.
Yeah.
Ouch.
But I shall use that religiously.
I'm wrinkling.
But then I've been using it and the makeup guy the other day said,
lovely skin.
I said, oh, thank you.
Rosehip oil.
Was it down to that or was that
just flirting? Oh, it could have been.
I'm flirting with a lot.
Again, a few weeks
later, we rejoin
where Megan is now holding her head
and chest up beautifully. Thank
you.
This next part's not good. What?
Gently sun-kissed on the face from
yesterday. No sunscreen.
Mum?
Your mum let her...
This was in the 10th.
This was October.
So what are you?
Less than six months old and you've been scorched.
That's why I have to get that bloody sunspot lasered off my face now.
Because I got burnt as a baby.
Breastfed to suit.
Had a taste of baby rice today.
And smirks at everyone.
Smirks. Not smiles, smirks.
Sarcastic right from the get-go.
She's like, sunburned, my mother.
Oh, cute little bat.
Great parenting.
Smirk.
Rejoin now.
We're at 34 weeks.
Yeah.
Can turn in circles.
Wow.
Yes, queen.
We'll just go this way.
34 weeks.
How old is that?
In months?
I don't know.
That's over a year, right?
No, no, no, no.
There's 52 weeks.
No, I'm thinking a year.
That's nine months or so?
Eight months, yeah.
When are you supposed to start walking?
Eight and a half kgs, by the way.
Still skins.
Skins.
Tote skins, babe.
Tote skins.
Turns in circles.
Gets up, ready to crawl, but doesn't just rocks.
I wasn't a year old.
Just chilling. Sleeps from nine till six. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. That's a nine hour sleep. I wasn't a year old. Just chillin'.
Sleeps from nine till six.
That's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
That's a nine-hour sleep.
One-hour sleeps three times during the day.
Will have yogurt and orange juice from a cup.
Not amused with egg yolk.
Smashed straight on floor.
However, prefers smoother food.
However, enjoys mints.
Nothing's changed. Who doesn't enjoy mints? Kids love mints., enjoys mints. Nothing's changed. Who doesn't
enjoy mints? Kids love mints.
Kids love mints. And also worth noting
has crusts. So that means
she ate the sandwich crusts and all.
Why was that an indicator
at Plunkett? Why was it
a big deal? She needed to fill the page.
Was this still when they believed that
crusts would give you curly hair so you could look back
and you're like, well, she wasn't that curly.
Oh, she ate the crust.
Yeah, maybe.
Where the curly hair comes from.
This is just over a year old now, one-year-old plunket visit.
A bit red on the right ear.
Probably got a clipper in the ear.
Knowing Ray Ray.
A bit heavy-eyed and hot and bothered.
The eyes should be okay.
The eyes should be okay.
What does heavy eyed mean?
No, like
your eyes are a bit
low on your face. Why did you make
that noise about me as a
child? Don't make that
noise about me ever again.
Oh, it gets worse. What does heavy eyed mean?
One year old,
big fan of the breast,
screams in the morning and the evening for breast,
but then bites mother.
Bitty.
Bitty, mama.
Bitty.
She gives it and you're like.
Still very rough on a nipple.
I've asked Mr. Toyboy.
Still bites.
Drips candle wax.
Nipple.
Slaps.
Pinches.ches puts clamps on
she's very much
a real nipple destroyer
then and now
I will have a mug
or glass
with orange juice in it
and then
the suggestion
of offering that at night
instead of bitty
will stand
and tries to cross
full
tries to cross
short gaps
but falls
I'm not yet walking it's because the eyes probably can't see the gaps guys Will stand and tries to cross short gaps but falls.
I'm not yet walking.
It's because the eyes probably can't see the gaps.
Guys.
But don't worry, those will be fine.
Those should come right.
Can be chatty and understands.
Oh, that hasn't changed either.
Not bad, not bad.
And you've had your vaccines.
Yes.
Which is great. Well, we'll delve into Vaughan's blanket book tomorrow.
Yeah, because two out of three of us love the boobs.
Yeah.
Three out of three tomorrow.
I'm a lifelong fan.
Some announcements yesterday for TVNZ's line-up for 2020.
The Bachelorette host is going to be Art Green, if you've not heard.
Yep.
I think that's a great fit.
Well, he knows.
He knows all about it, doesn't he?
He knows.
He's been on the other side.
He has been on the other side of it.
He's been involved.
Another announcement, an exciting announcement in studio.
Megan Papadopoulos is going to be hosting a TVNZ on-demand show called Glow Up.
And it's, would you say it's project runway for makeup artists?
That's kind of how I've described it, yeah.
So there's people on there who are doing makeup challenges,
these judges, and people get eliminated, you know, everywhere.
Right, until you get a champion.
Yeah, until you get a champion.
A makeup champion.
Yeah.
Do you know, it's not always going to be like,
it'll be different sorts of makeup, right?
Like it could just be like-
Different challenges.
Casual night out makeup.
Yeah, exactly.
Will there be a challenge where they have to use makeup
from the pantry?
Do you know, there's a UK version, you laugh,
but that was one of the challenges.
Thank you.
They had to make makeup in the kitchen.
Cocoa powder. It's basically Thin Lizzy. No, cocoa powder's one of the challenges. Thank you. They had to make makeup in the kitchen. Cocoa powder.
It's basically thin Lizzie.
No, cocoa powder's no.
That's blackface.
Don't you do that.
Don't you cultural appropriate.
And that's how long Megan's TV show lasted.
Just come right in here for some cocoa powder.
No, no, no, no, no.
You dill it down with some corn flour.
Yes, that'll thicken it up.
That's basically thin Lizzie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it was exciting.
Yesterday we went to like the, yeah, like you say, the launch of TVNZ's stuff.
I got to see Vaughn in his TV element.
I like messaged him before.
I was like, hey, are you here already?
Because I was nervous, like new to the whole scene and didn't know everyone.
I felt like first day at school.
And he was like.
See you, loser.
I said, you're... See you, loser. That's amazing.
I said,
you're on your own, loser.
He was having drinks
with all his TV famous friends.
That's a shark eat shark,
eat shark,
dog eat dog world.
Right, okay.
And then I was like...
Did he not want to talk to you?
No.
Because you're just a little person.
He was like...
That is absolute bullshit.
I was like,
where are you?
Come back here.
No, I messaged and was like,
oh, shall I come join?
Just being cheeky. And like ages later, he's like, yeah, sure. I was like, where are you? Come back here. No, I messaged and was like, oh, shall I come join? Just being cheeky.
And like ages later, he's like, yeah, sure.
I was like, well, I've walked past now.
Don't worry about it.
Then afterwards, I messaged, are you still here?
And ages after, he texts me.
He's like, yeah.
And I look over in the middle of the room.
And who do I see but social butterfly Vaughn Smith.
Why am I being ragged on here?
This one's an Vaughn Smith ragging.
Just like having a...
Were you drinking wine?
No, Megan, I was drinking water.
I was, I was drinking water.
Okay, well, he was drinking water.
Like having a big old yarn with like his...
I couldn't hear a thing anybody was saying.
Hayley Sproul and Ursula Carlson.
We made a deal.
We're like, this is what's going to happen.
Hilary Bowery said, you do the circuit,
you walk out, you do the circumference. I do. What are what's going to happen. Hilary Bowery said, you do the circuit. You walk out. You do the circumference.
I do.
What are you name dropping?
My friend Hilary Bowery.
She's an experienced.
Yeah.
So I'm sat between Michael Galvin, Chris Warner, and Jeremy Wells.
So there's a row of three heartthrobs.
Absolutely.
No, and Hilary's like, you don't stop.
You just be seen.
Right.
And she's like, you're tall, which helps.
If you're short, you've got to be loud.
Well, this is why I say in the staff meetings, you always make a scene.
Like our last one, I yelled out to Bogs and he made a smart-ass comment,
and then I left.
And he assumed I was there for the entire meeting.
Yeah, and then I was there for that entire meeting,
and I got told, why didn't I go?
Exactly.
Yeah.
Exactly. So make a scene, be seen, and then sneak off., why didn't I go? Exactly. Make it loud.
But then don't stop was
her main, and we walked out and Hayley
was like, oh my god, I know them. And stopped. I was like,
you've broken the golden rule.
So you had to be social last night. I had to be like,
yep, I couldn't hear anything.
He's acting like it was such a difficult
time for him, but he was in the middle of the room.
I was like, doesn't do this for radio.
Literally never parties with us.
Not true.
But with his fancy TV friends,
he's like, how about
vino and a yarn?
When does your TV show start, Megan? Your new one?
It's not shot yet.
We're looking for contestants.
But it will be in the new year.
I don't actually know if I'm allowed to say,
so it'll be in 2020.
All right, okay.
It's going to be an emotional week or so.
There's good news and bad news.
I have, guys, finally, I've grown up.
I've decided it's time to move on from a two-seater car
and I've bought a new car.
You have purchased a brand new Mahindra.
No, it's not a Mahindra.
It is.
It's a Mahindra yurt.
It's a Sanyong.
It's not a Mahindra.
It's a Sanyong.
I don't know why I'm so upset that you're saying it's a Mahindra.
It's a Sanyong.
Right, okay.
It's just a little Sanyong.
But it means after 14 years.
Oh, I might actually cry.
After 14 years.
Did I disappoint you? Stop it. Yes, you did. Oh, did I disappoint cry. I took 14 years.
Yes, you did.
It's like the car's singing. What?
Yes, you should be.
No! I remember we tried to sell
this and no one wanted to buy it because you
wanted way too much money for it.
No, excuse me. There is
a high market for MX5s
because, like,
people love those little sports cars.
Vaughn loves it.
It's actually, there's actually a tear running down my face.
It's a tear, it's a ton of fun to drive.
I can see why when guys have their middle-aged crisis
and leave their wives for their new younger boyfriends,
they like love them.
You are crying.
It's really, I've had that car for 14 years.
That's the first car that I bought all by myself.
My very first car, my parents
helped me buy it and I didn't get to choose it.
They chose it. And so
I was like, when I could buy a car, I was like, I'm gonna buy
this cute little red thing and I
can put the top down. You love
driving with the top down. Yeah, it's great.
I'm surprised it's lasted this long
to be honest. I know you've had to pour some money into it lately.
Oh, it's got a new alternator.
Yeah. But it's like a new car.
But.
So you just keep
patching the problems.
It just keeps going.
You don't know
how many times
I've been to the petrol station
and the guy's like,
there is no oil in here.
And I'm like,
but yet,
it keeps on trucking.
Out of it.
I'm sure we put some
in like last week.
Where did it all go?
Yeah,
how often does this thing
need oil?
But it still keeps going and it never complains. Yeah, right. And now I'm sure we put them in like last week. Where did it all go? Yeah, I put, how often does this thing need oil? But it still keeps going and it never complains.
Yeah, right.
And now I'm going to drop it off.
So you're driving it in today to trade it in.
Oh my God, I'm going to like drive in and it'll be like,
yay, what are we here for?
And then I'm going to drive away with a different car and it'll be like.
It's like taking a pet to the vet to have it put down.
Or even taking a puppy home.
It actually is.
It's like dropping off your old tabby that's done 16 years,
can't even meow anymore, and then you take home a cute kitten.
I taught my husband to drive a manual in that car.
Oh, my God.
You wouldn't let him go out in it by himself, eh?
Because he'd be like gay bait.
Like straight up.
He doesn't like driving it by himself.
What the hell is that?
My dream car with my dream boy in it?
Holy crap.
Am I dead?
Is this what gay heaven's like?
What did I do to deserve this?
Thank you, Lord.
Thank you, Lord. And then if he has to take Leo in it, he's like, this? Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord.
And then if he has to take Leo in it, he's like, this is just.
Too much.
Too much.
Too much.
I've had so many great moments in that car.
But, yeah, I think I've proved that I will cry because I just had a wee cry now.
Yeah.
Been through a lot.
It's weird, though, when you do get attached.
You shouldn't, but you do get attached to material.
You think how much time you spend in your car.
You named it?
Ruby.
Yeah.
It's had a name.
It's been on so many adventures.
What are you going to name the Mahindra?
The Sanyong.
Murray.
I don't know.
Murray.
It's not a Mahindra.
Murray the Mahindra.
I don't know why.
It's just, I don't, why I don't
Mahindra Sam
Sung
What is that?
Sam Yong
Sam Song
Sam Yong Blanc
It's a ring-a-dong
Sam Song
Sam Yong
Sang Yong
Right, okay
But um
It's got two
It's got two S's at the front
Yeah
Sang Yong
Okay
Yeah, so you can see
We've just opened the new chapter
Of mocking of a new car Yeah, great As we close the book On the mocking of. Okay. Yeah, so you can see we've just opened the new chapter of mocking of a new car.
As we close the book on the mocking of her old car.
But it was when we moved out of our house,
I got quite a little bit emotional because it was like our kids were born there.
Yeah.
Yeah, you do.
You shouldn't, but you do get attached to material possessions.
Yeah, because it's all right to get attached to, you know,
like humans and cats and dogs and stuff. But it's all right to get attached, you know, like humans and cats and dogs and stuff.
But it's a con, isn't it?
But was it not okay to get attached to material things?
I don't know.
What I'd like to know on 0800DOLLS.M,
and you can text 966.
That was, turn your mic off if you're going to stuff.
What material possession were you pretty attached to?
And yeah, maybe you were really sad when it went.
Yeah, when it went, it was time for tears.
Stop it, Fletch.
You don't understand because you don't have a heart.
ZM, Fletch, Warner, Megan.
Am I telling the story or are you?
I would be more.
Are you spinning my words?
You please, you steer the ship, Captain.
Captain, my captain.
So I was trying to be a good humanitarian the other day.
Humanitarian?
Human?
Samaritan.
Samaritan?
Sanitarian.
Sanitarian.
You were trying to be a good sanitarian.
Yeah.
Yep.
So at the cafe, there was a guy who turned up and he had flown in from London.
So he got a coffee.
A what?
He got a what?
Oh, wow.
I mean, you were worried we were going to dig a hole for you,
but you just dig it yourself.
Oh, my.
A coffee?
I need an issue and apology there.
Sorry for that language. I need a cigarette. Or it's 2019? I need an insured apology there. Sorry for that language.
I need a cigarette.
Or it's 2019.
I need a vape.
Someone get me a USB.
Oh my God.
Okay, so he
needed a coffee.
Are we starting again?
Okay, right.
A coffee.
You've made me
so anxious about this.
I'm just going to
flick away my fake cigarette.
Okay, so anyway,
this guy turned up,
wanted to get to, or wanted to get to the airport.
He's like, what's the easiest way to get there?
So me and my husband were both standing there talking about,
okay, so you need to catch like a sky bus.
If you go straight down that road, it's like half an hour walk
or you could get like an Uber down there and you can get a sky bus.
It'll take you all the way to the airport.
So he was lovely.
We were chatting
for a little bit
and then I said to my husband,
I was like,
shall I just take him?
I could just take him,
not to the airport,
not to the airport,
to the Sky,
like to where the Skybus is.
Yeah.
It would have been
like a half an hour walk.
The bus stop.
Yeah.
It's by the mall.
I don't know,
like a five minute drive.
Yeah.
I was like,
I could literally take him there
and it's like,
you know,
it's showing we're good
people in New Zealand. He's not even
from here. And imagine the TripAdvisor
in your cafe. Exactly.
Super helpful cafe. Extra service at
Beaufort & Co. Yep, exactly. They go
the extra mile. They do. For hot people.
And then some monger comes in and they're like
take me to the buses
and you're like, oh, no
thanks.
Okay, no, this thanks. So this is,
okay,
no, this is how it went down.
I told Fletcher Vaughn this story
and they have presumed
that he's hot.
Is he?
Was he,
Your Honour,
hot?
I will remind you
that you are under oath
and face contempt of court
if you lie.
He wasn't unattractive,
but he's definitely
not my husband.
Hey, do you want to see what I just Googled, Vaughn?
Freudian slip, an unintentional error regarded as revealing subconscious feelings.
Yeah.
That's what happened before.
Okay.
So this is what Vaughn and I deducted.
This guy.
This is what you deducted.
Was hot and attractive.
And you were willing to go the extra mile because he was hot.
He was just, he was from London.
And he needed help.
And I felt bad.
I was like, he could walk half an hour down there.
I could just drive him five minutes.
But so you, why did you decide not to drive him?
Because Andrew said, nah, it's done.
Can we just flip this around?
He actually said, we don't really know this guy.
But if we flip this around and a super hot girl walked in
and she was like, I don't know, lost because she was on her way
to the modelling day or whatever.
Yeah, but that's not what happened, Fletch.
But if it was.
From Sweden.
From Sweden, a hot Swedish backpacker.
And she's like,
I need the bus.
Show us the bus.
I need to catch it to the bikini competition.
He knows better to even offer.
He'd be like, oh, yuck, bikini competitions.
Yuck.
It's so degrading.
But she'll on the other foot, you know.
He wouldn't even say to me, I'll give her a ride.
So at his younger age, he's wiser than you.
He wasn't.
At his young age, he's wise beyond his years.
I've always said that.
I always forget how much younger he is than us.
Guys, look, two text messages from my husband.
Thank you for that.
Open them, see what they say.
Are you in trouble?
Because we are going away after work for the night,
so that's good.
Give him a cooling off period.
Do you actually want me to read it out?
I'm speaking from experience.
He said...
It's good.
It's okay.
I know whose arms you were cuddling in this morning.
Oh!
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, so we asked on our Instagram,
have you ever gone the extra mile because someone was hot?
70% of people say yes.
More hot people getting everything they want, isn't it?
Don't be jealous of us, please.
I was waiting for that.
That's right.
I really see you.
We'll feed you our scraps.
But, okay, we want to take some calls.
We've decided, Megan, that Vaughn and I have decided that we will do this.
Okay.
And ask this morning, when have you gone the extra mile just because someone was attractive?
Like, if they weren't, you wouldn't have done it.
Maybe it was a bit of extra service at work.
Maybe it was dropping a hot traveling.
A traveler.
Someone who's not familiar with our lovely country
Making a slight deviation for a hitchhiker
So I got a mate and he went out of his way
He said, well I couldn't drop her off where I was turning off
And where she wanted to go
Because it was in the middle of nowhere
Dangerous
So I dropped her off
I went slightly out of my way
I was like
An hour total.
Half an hour there,
half an hour.
But they were hot?
Very.
Oh, right.
Yep.
So you do your part,
don't you?
Is this a mate
or was this?
Oh, it wasn't me.
Oh, okay.
No, our hitchhiking
because we've always got the kids
but we went away
without the kids once
and I said,
let's pick up a hitchhiker for once.
Shade's like, absolutely not.
Went past one guy, she's like,
and I started slowing down,
she's like, oh my God, no, no, no,
he looks how good girls are.
Yeah.
And then we saw two hot girls,
and I started slowing down,
and she's like, keep your foot down, buddy.
Don't like, not even,
I would rather have picked up the murdery guy
than watch you try your magic with the two hot girls.
