The man with '1000 kids' left presenters stunned after hanging up mid-interview following a particular comment.
Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson, who present the Australian breakfast show, Kyle and Jackie O, had Jonathan Jacob Meijer on the show on Tuesday (20 August) following the Netflix documentary about him, titled The Man with 1000 Kids.
The documentary explores the allegations that Meijer, 43, was donating sperm worldwide all while hiding his identity - a claim which the musician has vehemently denied.

Meijer first began donating his sperm in 2007 - however, he was banned from donating to clinics in the Netherlands, where Meijer is from, in 2017 after it was discovered that he was the biological father of 102 children across 11 clinics across the country.
He also lost a civil lawsuit in 2023 which alleged that he'd 'deliberately misinformed' potential recipients about how many children he'd fathered.
In the suit, Meijer testified that he had fathered between 550 and 600 children, however, the court suggested that he could have up to 1,000 children across the globe.
Meijer has since branded the show 'misleading' and further claimed to the BBC that he sees 'absolutely nothing wrong' with fathering numerous children.
However, the show caught a lot of viewer's attention - with some calling it 'crazy' before it even aired - so Meijer has been doing numerous interviews surrounding the documentary.
The radio duo were chatting to Meijer about the allegations featured in the show when the interview took an interesting turn.
Warning: explicit language:
On the show, Jackie addressed the allegations and said that Meijer had given 'too much sperm' - which he disagreed with.
He said: "No I didn't. I am voluntarily helping people create the family that they desire.
"Why are there not enough men to help all these women? Why can I help so much?"
Kyle then asked him 'why' was he 'doing it'.
"What tells you that women want your seed?" he said as per The Daily Mail. "I think you're addicted."
Meijer was quick to fire back: "What kind of nonsense is that? Addictive?"
Kyle then snapped back: "You're addicted to this! You're addicted to jerking... for the ladies."
However, this seemed to be the final straw for Meijer as he said: "You know what? I'm done with this interview. Goodbye," before promptly hanging up the phone.
But Kyle didn't stop there as he carried on digging into him, branding him a 'seed spreading lunatic' and a 'freaking weirdo'.
He said: "He's addicted to jerking off into cups under a fake God presence that he's helping people. You're lying.
"You're banned from places you've given to.You lied and said you didn't go to another joint."
After hanging up from the show, Jonathan sent a WhatsApp to the shows producer Kristen.
She said: "He's written on WhatsApp, which in the documentary, they said he loves to communicate with the women via WhatsApp.
"So, love that he's got my number."
She also claimed that he'd asked 'What kind of garbage show is this?' to which she replied: "The biggest and best radio show in Australia, Jonathan. We really wish you'd hung in there. It was fascinating.
"Thank you for your time regardless."
