Starting point is 00:00:00 The Almeco is back at Mac is. Try the new range today. Here we go. Welcome to the Jess and Rowan podcast. Yo, what up, everyone? Welcome to the podcast. Hello. Hell of a Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:00:13 Hell of a Wednesday. Hell of a Wednesday. Really fun. I'm all jacked up on pineapple juice. Why? Because of my voice. Why? I wonder why.
Starting point is 00:00:24 There's a few reasons why I would drink pineapple juice. A few. Please. Educate everyone. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Pineapple juice has, does pineapple juice have the same effect on urine that asparagus does?
Starting point is 00:00:37 No, I think it, not urine. No? Not urine. Babs, can I ask your question? Yes. How did you feel about the directive from Rowan today? Leave your station. Leave your post.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Unmanned, which is to sit by the phones and talk to the rice cookers. Yeah. Head out to the quickiemer and hunt for pineapple juice. I mean, I feel like I've gotten similar. task before? There you go. There you go. Yeah, but have you gotten similar tasks from someone who's been in the chair for eight
Starting point is 00:01:07 freaking days? Probably not, but I was, you know, I'm open to it. It had to start soon. Look. I would love to see Babbs's job description because nowhere in her contract, do I believe it says for any whim of Rowans. And nowhere in your contract does it say have to do all the fucking social media, but you still have to do it, don't you?
Starting point is 00:01:28 That's, I get like what you're doing. there and it's counteractive to the point I'm trying to make about Babs, but you're also being nice to me about how much work I do. They're great socials too. See, I appreciate you, but I am rewarded handsomely. This young lady,
Starting point is 00:01:43 this young lady, unfortunately. With Babs is a dot point, all-rounder. Oh my God, that's what I got when I was. That's what this comes under. That's what I got. What is your age, yes. Oh, no. That's another nickname for her.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Hot sausage, Barbara of the Virgin Mary. And our all-round. The Great All Rounder. She's Lamb. Oh my God, we call the Lamb. She's the Great All Rounder. Why lamb? Isn't that the ad?
Starting point is 00:02:08 The Great All Rounder. I don't know that. The Marit All-Townian thing. It might be a Tazzy thing. The Tazzy's coming out. You know? Is it though? Because that's great.
Starting point is 00:02:19 I would love to call you the lamb. As in because it's like every bit of a bit of a year. Oh. Are you talking about like? I don't know. It's just the ad. Yeah. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:02:29 The Great Old Round. Lamb all rounder. Australian lamb campaign returns. See, there you go. What's that dude's name? Sam, Sam, someone, Sam. Keckovich. Sam Kekovic.
Starting point is 00:02:39 That's right. Lamb Basseter. Can we call her the lamb basseter? Oh my God, it's turned into the lamb baster. The hot sausage. Where were we the other day? Was it in the podcast? We were talking about the superior meat.
Starting point is 00:02:50 And we got caught up in duck. See, lamb for me would be up there. I love a little lamb. Yeah, I like lamb cutlet. That's crumbed. Oh, I, I. Good shout. No. Get your crumbs off me lamb.
Starting point is 00:03:03 With some really thick gravy and mashed potato and vegetables. I disagree again. Thick. Grave should be thick. Yeah. I want it watery. No, that's a ju. I love a juu. God, you're a fancy bitch. You are layered. You're like an ogre. Auger's, I like onions.
Starting point is 00:03:19 No, in the onion thing. I'm going to do that parquet. Can you not laugh that hard, by the way? I love Shrek. Me too, bro. Shag, have you found anything about lamb being the all-rounder? Lamb? No. The what?
Starting point is 00:03:31 Have you seen all the trends with Shrek? People, don't, never mind. No, she loves Shrek. Keep going. I probably have. There's a trend where, like, people are putting, there's like a Snapchat filter of Shrek behind you
Starting point is 00:03:42 with his arm on your shoulder. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's funny. Hook up with Shrek. Oh, okay. I'm not in the hookup interpretation. Yeah, people like, can you do that later?
Starting point is 00:03:49 And we can see we can get some more followers on the Instagram. Sure. Yes. More social media for you to do. More social media for me to do. Well, you get part. We should get from order and absolutely. I do.
Starting point is 00:03:59 I do. But what I'm saying is I should have been the one, if anyone, to go get you. Actually, you should have been the one to go get pineapple juice. No, it's nice to go outside. See, you're welcome. All right, big show today. Absolutely. Bye.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Enjoy it. Enjoy it. Welcome. We've got for Jess and Roewee. Something new for breakfast. You know, Jess. I'm all about Wii Wu methods to help yourself. You'll get to know Rowan.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Hot, tawny happy. Yay! It's going to be all right. Anything could happen. Most of it probably will. I guess I need to enter the mind of a man. Please enter me. This is Jess and Rowers.
Starting point is 00:04:42 This is going to be good. Ooh, hump day. Hello? Hump day. Are you a hump day guy? But do you say that? No, I haven't said hump day in a long time. I don't know why I thought about that.
Starting point is 00:04:55 I was like, it needs something to say. Because we've been on together on a Wednesday. In fact, last Wednesday was an. absolute show. Oh, it was too. But I don't remember you ever saying the phrase hump day. I didn't. Do you don't like hump day? No, I just, I feel like you're a hump day person or you're not.
Starting point is 00:05:12 And I don't think I would have pegged you as someone who says the phrase, happy hump day. I don't think I've said hump day in like three years. It is pretty crazy what happens when you get behind the big stick. The stuff that comes out of your gob. Like I caught myself saying byro the other day. I went, oh my God, I just became my nana borg. Who says byro? And telly?
Starting point is 00:05:35 I don't really say telly in my everyday vernacular. Right, right. But I came out with telly. On the telly. On the telly. Interesting. So it is funny. I don't know why I'm critiquing hump day so much, but it's just interesting what happens.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Yeah, I haven't said hump day in a long time. When you are sitting in the chair. Nice chair too. Good morning, how are you feeling? You're a bit sounding with different today. I was going to say, Shago, do we address the elephant? in the room. Oh, wow, another fact joke.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Interesting. Straight in the elephant. If you let me finish, I was going to say, or should I say. Why would I let you finish when it's so insulting? Or should I say very sexy husky? Really? I mean, you can think that. The elephant has vacated.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Welcome, welcome. There's a husky in the room. Can you pretend to do love song dedications? Absolutely. What is Richard Mercer doing these days? Isn't he dead? I thought he died. Falay, Richard.
Starting point is 00:06:29 I was joking. Is he not? Is he actually dead? No. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Just because they leave Raider doesn't mean they die. Everyone thought I died. Hang on one second.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Welcome to the party, Betty. My name is Richard. Edward. That's my dad's name. My name is Richard Edwards. Dick Edwards. On the text line, 04,0008-1069. It's hot man.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Spando Ballet for Jessica. Who's in jail. Shout out. Oh my God. The request will always be in jail. Sorry, I thought you were Googling Richard Mercer and you said he's in jail. I was like, what did he do? Guys, guys, guys.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Oh, sorry, we're bringing it down. No, right now. Spend her ballet for Jessica in that Thai little suburb near the Melbourne airport. She's in prison for 25 years for stealing everything at Judy Free. And laughing at the people that get kicked off the planes. Can we actually talk about that at? some point today because I don't, have you spoken about that in the past, how you used to make a game out of it?
Starting point is 00:07:31 That's a story I tell all the time about the story of you. Working at the airport and people who would run for the plane or worse, doodle. Yeah. And it was always the dad of the family. And what they would say. They'll wait for us. No, but they don't, though. They don't wait.
Starting point is 00:07:46 My favourite fact. When it is final call and they say, this is a page for Rowan Edwards, Rowan Edwards, your flight QF1, direct to London, is waiting for you. That means they are looking for your bag. And if they can find your bag, your suitcase under the carrier of the plane. Before you. Before you get that, you off, baby. Yeah, gone.
Starting point is 00:08:08 If you ever hear the phrase offloading procedures have commenced. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. That's what offloading procedures. There is a race between the baggage handlers. Can they find your bag faster? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you're off too bad. They are not going to wait for you.
Starting point is 00:08:21 It gets me so riled up. And they would yell at you. They would yell at you because they wanted a cheaper bottle of vodka and you're like, no, no, give me a boarding pass. 100%. What flight are you on? Don't worry about it. Get me the two for 49 vodka.
Starting point is 00:08:31 No. Because I'm not going to get in trouble when they see you roll in with the vodka and they go, who sold that to you? Yeah, you cannot be late to an airport. You cannot be laid to a plane. Sorry, plane. It's one in the same. I guess so.
Starting point is 00:08:44 But anyway, have we found out what Richard Mercer is doing? No, but I found his Instagram and he's got an ad for sex boat. But is he dead? And then he was there? He posted the poster. He's dead. He's not dead. He's not dead.
Starting point is 00:08:56 When was that? Yesterday. Yesterday. It was for 2013 year. Oh. 2013? Well, that was when he was last act. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Last active, 2013. He's dead, bro. He's over a decade. No, no, he didn't interview with worldly magazine in 2022. Okay, but he could still be dead. That's still three years, four years. Babs, good morning. Can you do us a quick favour today in between all the phone calls?
Starting point is 00:09:21 just have a hunt to see if Richard Mercer is dead. And throughout the show, we'll get a... An update. Richard Mercer dead update. Sure. You okay with that? Yep, that's fine. Lovely.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Because if he is, one, that would make me very sad. Yeah, I don't want him to die. No, he was unreal and he had such a voice. Oh, my God. But what I'd be hearing is, Rowan, there is a gap in the market for you to... Die? You surp him with this sexy husk. Well, well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:50 You've got going on. Also, I might be able to leave. Seven shows in your voice is already capitulated. I was waiting for the answer. I found it finally. We have a big show today, $10,000 Alphabet. It's hot. 7 o'clock.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Whoa. But... Get off my... Get off wasted on my lap, forth. I thought it was weird. Now I know what. You like the feel of these silk fans. Got a warm of quarter rights.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Am I right, guys? Welcome to the party. Oh, my God. That sound awful. I think it sounds great. Husky. But what I... Have I even been on air for longer than 20 hours, shy guy?
Starting point is 00:10:29 Since the dawn of the Jess and Rowan era. 21. 21 hours. Okay, good. It's embarrassing from you. Do we need to get you a singing coach or some sort of vocal coach? No, not really. You can't keep up like this.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Shai... I said Shaggot. Babs, where are you at on the death update? There's nothing public. Keep looking. He is a public figure, guys. should be able to find him. Well, no, well, none of he's dead. All right.
Starting point is 00:10:55 04-8-8-1069. Richard Corp. Or if you know, well, that was the text line. If you know, what's up with Richard Mercer? Oh my God, I can't believe I might have heard my last love song dedication. I didn't even know it was my last one. Alba bucks at 7 o'clock and at 8 o'clock. And if you want to get on our cruise, nine nights on the water, seven nights on the water, if you like.
Starting point is 00:11:16 When you hear the ship on, you get a call us. It's very soon. So if you're listening now, don't turn off. Call Mr. Husk. And next, oh, Mr Hux is hornier as, next, if you exercise with your loved one, we've got the news for you. This is Jess and Rowan. Jess couples who exercise together have stronger relationships, research says. Well, you've been teasing me, flirting with me for about two weeks now.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Jess, I'm going to get up an hour earlier like you do. Yeah, yeah, I want to do that. And start going to the gym like you do. And I have said, every time you've mentioned that plan, Ro, Ro, Ro, let's do it together. Yeah. You've yet to wake up and do it. No.
Starting point is 00:11:58 But I, I feel like I knew this. Yeah, well, it's true. It's not just romantic couples. Any sort of partnering, I imagine, would benefit from getting a sweat on. Yeah, researchers are saying that you found on days when people were exercised with their partner, they felt more positive emotions during the workout and had a better mood during the day. I love that. Compared to when they didn't.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Does it say anything about competitive couples? Because good friends of ours, Kate and Reese, sometimes they train together. Yeah, it does. And they are both very competitive. So could it also potentially lead to some problems? I can imagine Kate getting mad at Reese sometimes. Absolutely. I can really imagine it.
Starting point is 00:12:31 It does say mismatched fitness levels and different goals and competing schedules, turn workouts into sources of tension. Ah, we don't like that. Rather than connection. See, my husband, he enjoys a bit of a run and he's got a great attitude to cardio. whereas I would be so bitter about it. False me too. If he said, oh, let's do a bit on the treadmill, I'd go, get out of here.
Starting point is 00:12:52 There's no way. There's no way you're training with Angus. All I want to do is bum. I just want to train bum. I want to train the glutes. Oh, right. So what are you doing the presses and stuff? I'm doing the presses.
Starting point is 00:13:02 I'm doing the squats. I'm gobbleding. I'm sumoing. Wow. I'm doing all the things. I follow all the hot chicks with good bums on Instagram. Same. And I copy what they do.
Starting point is 00:13:11 No, I don't. What do they do? They do the goblets and the sumos and the curtsies. Curtsy? Oh, wow, that's not a bad idea. Because that works the sides. You've got to work the sides as well, shy guys. You got to go full round for the bum. You need a nice peach.
Starting point is 00:13:29 You can't just do back ones. Why do we start saying peach? Is it because it looks like a peach? Emogies. Because it looks like a, yeah, 100%. Peachy. I think only started when people started using emojis. Ah, yeah, makes sense.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Now that's a great chicken or the egg, which came first. the adjective peachy describe a well-rounded bum or the emoji that had such a well-defined indentation kind of look like a bum. What about... What fruit do you think better represents the bum? Watermelon? I don't know. No, probably not.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Watermelon? Where's the crack? Some people maybe. Well, you can make a crack if you want to make a crick. In a watermelon. Yeah. It's hard to crack a watermelon. Have you seen the people that crack in between the legs? Oh, unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Could never do it. Not doing any abs? What do you do? Like, why don't you just only butt stuff? No. What? Sometimes I do a shoulder. I don't care for abs.
Starting point is 00:14:22 It's so bad, isn't it? Because my core is relatively weak, I'm going to blame having the child. Yeah, that's what your mum, you're allowed to. Thank you very much. The only way to build that back up again would be to do some core stuff, but I don't want to. It hurts. That's the point. That's the point.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Whereas I feel good doing the bum stuff. I bet you do. That's fair. You're disgusting. But yeah, Angus and I, but again, the conflicting schedule. as you say, it's never going to happen with Gussie and I. It does say to make sure you have clear expectations and you have to ask, are you training to push each other?
Starting point is 00:14:56 Oh. Or are we just hanging out? So if we're going to get up at the crack of dawn, before dawn, the sun is nowhere to be seen when we'll need to get up. True. What are your goals? Are we going to do some abs for you, some bum for me? Well, I don't want to do abs.
Starting point is 00:15:11 They hurt. Okay, now you're speaking my language, but I. This is Jess and Roe. Where do you stand on a tire for a plane? You are travelling. Important for landing? Not eight. Nice, very.
Starting point is 00:15:27 What are you talking about? See, people think you're a dofuss. You are actually razor sharp. There's some group shaps, I'm a bottle. Pick it, pardon. You are sharp. Can you just tell Taco to worry about his own show? Because I'm trying my hardest over here, go.
Starting point is 00:15:46 What is this jazz bed for? Me? The voice shy guy. My mum calls me yesterday. Yep. Reveals that she's been listening. Great. Not one scrap of feedback, ma.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Not a cheeky text, not a ha-ha. She goes, geez, that Rowan, sharp, isn't he? Quick, witted. Like a... I said yes, it was a surprise to us all. Like a tag, baby. So it's just me.
Starting point is 00:16:07 I'm pretending to dance with Lisa. Is that, baby? God love your mother. Whoa, did you smack her bum? No, we did that. Mid-high-five? Oh, was that a mid-high-five. Anyway, sharp. A tire, not a tire, a tire, clothing, guns.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Oh, I thought you said tight. Did you hear the auto tune in my voice go then? Yes, all right. A tire. What you wear on a plane. Because I appreciate living in our fair nation, anywhere we want to go, even if it is within our own borders, you don't need your passport, you're traveling ages. Our country is gigantic. It is a little different in Europe where they have the budget. airlines and you can do a hop skip and a jump and literally be in a whole new country. So that's where we are talking.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Ryanair is basically the jet star of Europe. Yep. And they are known, particularly online, Rowan, for having a bit of a tree to mean, keep them keen personality on their social media. Because they literally charge something like 30 bucks for a flight. I thought they were doing one dollar flights at some point. They do do spike sales stuff. The CEO is very much like, well, let you stand up if you want to.
Starting point is 00:17:16 was safe. The stand-up. Yes, you've seen that video. That's that guy. They were literally talking about getting rid of the seats to get more people on the plane, which would bring the price down. He talked about removing the toilets for less than flights to go for less than 40 minutes because you don't need them.
Starting point is 00:17:30 And that way, your flight will go down like $10. He is the CEO. Was he legit about all these things? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. So this latest one, people are going, you're joking. This cannot be real. You cannot be policing what people wear on a plane.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Maybe in first class. an economy. Well, don't I know it? Well, can they? If you rocked up wearing a... Well, they can be dress codes. Paper bag, would they tell you to get off? Some of the, like, Emirates and stuff, they might be a bit of a, they might be fun. Emirates or like, what's another one? Mate, Qatar.
Starting point is 00:17:59 Qatar, that's why I'm sorry, I'm being guitar. Your Qatar. Well, that's who we flew. And to be honest, I, like, went and got out, basically a silk, kind of like what I'm wearing now, a silk matching set, because I thought, what to jazz it up. Pajamas. That are like... Yeah, and then they give you pajamas anyway.
Starting point is 00:18:15 So it's a bit weird that I'm dressing. But what Ryanair is taking aim at today in their latest post, it's 2026, let's stop travelling in jeans. Wow. Now, they haven't said, you'll be kicked off. You can't get on the plane. But people are saying, what's wrong with jeans? And they're arguing people in the comments going, well, what's right with them?
Starting point is 00:18:37 I would like to know who's getting on a plane in denim. I'm not getting on a plane in denim. It is so uncomfortable. Yeah, but you, this is the on brand. Oh, that is on brevity. I used to live in jeans. Year round. You know who you would get along with?
Starting point is 00:18:52 Australian supermodel, Megan Gale. I once read a Murray-Clair interview she did. You don't know Megan Gale? Sorry? You don't know Megan Gail? I was going to say, set him up. He would get along. We'd all get along well with Megan Gale.
Starting point is 00:19:04 We would get along with Miranda Kerr. She's basically, oh my God. Megan Gale wants in an interview and they said if you could wear one thing for the rest of your life, she said jeans and I've never stopped thinking about it. What do you mean, Megan? Denham is so un-com. These are so far as wear whatever they want. Sorry?
Starting point is 00:19:22 Megan's 50. Oh, she's been like... Sorry. Aegis. Can we talk about 50 world women not deserving of love? Are they shy guys? Not deserving of my memory or recall? She's 50.
Starting point is 00:19:31 She's married to a guy called Sean. Yeah, gorgeous couple. Oh, my God. Is it Sean or is it seen? S-H-A-U-N. Sean. He's got the H-H-E-H. Sean.
Starting point is 00:19:41 But, Jeans, I don't care, even if you are on a Ryan-A-F flight, and in 45 minutes you'll be in Belarus. Nice. We're not wearing denim on planes, surely. Why is it even a conversation that's happening? Denim shorts, maybe. Oh, even then, the waistband. I need an elasticated waistband if I'm going to be sitting for upwards of 25 minutes. I'm not doing, I'm doing elasticated everything. We thought about it. Absolutely. Shy guy. So if you are popping off to Europe, maybe for a Euro summer, don't be wearing jeans on Ryanair. Don't sit next to a 50 year old as well, sounds like it.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Someone joked in the comments, whenever I take them off, though, the flight attendants get mad. at me. Yay. This is Jess and Rowan. I just wanted to touch on something that we landed on inadvertently yesterday. A meal that is in high rotation in my house. We've got to come up with a better name than the bean dish. No, it is now the bean dish.
Starting point is 00:20:31 It is the bean dish. It is essentially a can of cannellini beans sauteed with garlic and onion, a bit of paprika, some diced tomatoes, and paramediano. And finished off with the memories of an old lover. Most not finished off. It's kind of started. maintained and finished off. Because yes, Rowan, I learnt it from an ex,
Starting point is 00:20:51 an Italian stallion that I dated whilst I lived in London. You've got to stop calling me stallion as well. You should have seen him. There is no other word. I can picture him. Yeah. Foof. Okay. Don't do that.
Starting point is 00:21:04 The bean dish has survived longer than obviously that relationship ever did. It's been over a decade. I've been making the beans. And yes, it's. connected to a past lover. Connected to a past lover. So we thought there might be something in this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Recipes and dishes that have lasted longer for you giving you more joy in your life than the relationship that person ever did. Yes, okay. Got a couple of contributions yesterday. Oh, yeah. Mel said my ex-husband was a chef. Oh, okay. His sticky date pudding has lasted longer than marriage.
Starting point is 00:21:40 I bet it did. Someone has said my dad's ex-girlfriend. When he was young, oh, wow. Showed him how to make beef stroganoff. My dad makes it so much that my mom's learned to make it. So now my mom is making my dad's ex-girlfriend's beef stroganoff. Wow.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Someone has said, my friend, UJ, my spaghetti fruta de mare, spaghetti with the seafood. Is that a real word? Yeah. Fruta de Mare is like fruits of the sea. Oh, okay. Yep, yeah, yeah. Is definitely from my ex.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Really? But she's justified it by saying it's a pretty standard Italian dish, So that's how I've gotten around it. I said, no, no, your ex taught you. To be fair, if your ex taught you, like, how to make a steak, I think that's different. Oh, okay. Well, now we've got blurred lines. I think it's different.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Where do you stand on this then? Good friend of mine, Jess has said my, in inverted comments, chicken schnitties are a recipe from my ex. I've claimed it as my own. Everyone asks me for the recipe all the time. I pretend he never existed and that the secret ingredient was my own invention. No, she's like straight to jail. If we're talking secret ingredients.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Yeah, that's bad. So we're working on a cookbook. Stand by for that. This is Jess and Rowan. Jess and Rowan's 10K alpha bucks on hit. Yes, wait at 7 and 8 o'clock for $10,000, Jess. It's as easy as that. So simple.
Starting point is 00:23:04 30 seconds, 10 questions, one letter. You get them all right, get $10,000. Which isn't not easy. I should have said it's as simple as that. Yeah, it's simple. It's not easy. But that timer can get under your skin. But Jess, I know when we ask for cool customers, you went, well, that's me.
Starting point is 00:23:21 You're 100%. Nothing's going to rattle me, not some silly timer. Is that right? Yes, that's correct. Excellent. What are you going to spend 10 grand on when you're winning in about 30 seconds? I think I'd just like to go to the shops and just buy whatever. Good on you.
Starting point is 00:23:34 I don't have to worry about the price tax. Oh, that's the dream, Jess, to just walk into a shop and not have to filter through all the garments and flicking the tag around going, whoop, no thanks, whoop. Or God forbid, you don't look.

Starting point is 00:24:58 I'd never know, Jess. I'd never know. N-G's a verb. We were looking for a describing word. What about Amazing? Amazing's the describing word. But you're right, it has I-N-G, well. Something in the bedroom you could have had alarm clock, air conditioner.

Starting point is 00:25:58 This is Jess and Rowan. Babs, we have a job for you. And it is extremely self-serving on my behalf. Can you get out of the quickie man? And can you get me a bottle of pineapple juice? Babs, I've just bet him a huge $5 that they will not have a bottle of pineapple juice. Where do you want me to go?
Starting point is 00:26:17 Quickie mart. That's the quickie mat, but me it for Rowie. Okay. I didn't care for that. Yeah, that was great. That's the last time you'll ever do that. For Wauie. Oh, you're yucky.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Help me, help me. Yucky. Help Rowy. That's better. It's getting worse. It's getting worse. You can't send Babs. I need her to man the phones.
Starting point is 00:26:39 To woman the phones. To woman the phones. You're saying all women are help. Well, the phrase is man the phones. Let's go. No, I think I was doing a good thing there. Why is the phrase man the phone? You could them the phones.
Starting point is 00:26:53 A woman could do a way better job. You could they the phones. I need her to they the phones. Can you just know? Just wait. I'll do what Babs go now. Are you joking? What are we doing on it?
Starting point is 00:27:03 Give her your card. You go and do it. I can go do it. I can't do it. I'm pressing the buttons, mate. My name's on the show. I think she's talking to me. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:09 She's arguing. You want me to go. I have $10. Careful. Save one of those fives because you'll need to me when they don't have pineapple juice. Whatie, Jasmine. So is one of us going?
Starting point is 00:27:20 Not yet. Hello. Excuse me. A little bit of professionalism, please. You were all for this idea before we went on air. Yeah, in the ad break. The mics are on. I was also surprised we brought it up on air.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Thank you, Chai Guy. I'm for it. I just wasn't prepared. Wow, bully. Bullie the guy whose voice doesn't work. Bully the guy who's trying to send the help to the Quikkimarch. Well, I didn't call them the help. Yeah, that's so rude.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Just. Stay out there and sit on the phone. And you stay there on Mike and contribute to this conversation. I've got an idea. We'll Uber eats it. Let's Uber eats pineapple juice. From across the road. Can we Uber eat the pineapple juice?
Starting point is 00:27:59 They're not going to have pineapple juice, shy guy. Yeah, they will. Straight pineapple or like orange mango and pineapple. They might have a tin. Yeah, that's fine. You can drink the juice. Oh, well, that's different. You've got to get rid of that, man.
Starting point is 00:28:10 It's really upsetting. What's that? Just how it cuts off. Doogie. Because we're doing everything on air in this break. Can you extend that bed, please? Thank you. I'm not having the conversation here because you've absolutely derailed it.
Starting point is 00:28:20 It's important. What conversation? Now I'm lost. Now you've lost me. We're going to come back. Oh yeah. With what? Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Sorry, I'm losing my mind, guys. Do you need to go completely? No, no, no, no. Also, sorry, what's with the pineapple juice? It, what it'll do? It soothes the vocal cords. Pineapple? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:44 It's an old musical theatre trick. But you've just had it. a cup of tea. Wouldn't that soothe? That's what I thought. Didn't work. I actually think it might have made it worse. That's what we need.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Don't worry about what I was going to ask. 04-8-8-18-1069. Are you a singer? Are you a performer? Mm-hmm. One is pineapple juice a thing? Yes, it is. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:29:04 It's like temporary relief. It's not like a... Like a soothers. It's like a really good sootheses. Is it like a lousin? Yes. Um, yeah. It says it can make it worse.
Starting point is 00:29:16 What? Because it contains an ingredient called... Pineapple juice? Bromoline? I'm saying that wrong. Back yourself? It's an enzyme... Pineapple juice?
Starting point is 00:29:23 You're saying pineapple juice we're talking about here. Yeah. It may reduce throat inflammation. I don't know. But it's highly acidic. It could not work. Like I said, the pineapple juice... Do you want to take the risk?
Starting point is 00:29:38 He's saying it could make it worse. It just is to coat it to help it for a bit. Why don't you get a lozange? Oh, yeah, we've got Difflam. Yeah, we've got Difflam. A Difflam lozance. Yeah. Here you go.
Starting point is 00:29:48 I just happen to have some. Are you joking? How did you just... Do you have a sore throat too? No, magic. Okay. Rowan, we need a complete reset. Have a lozange.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Punch to the ads. We'll come back. Get this train back on the tracks. Now? Now. This is Jess and Rowan. We will do shy guy dips. He's got a packet of lollies in studio.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Yeah. Because he was prepared, unlike you, unprepared, with this shocking, quite sexy husky voice. you're rocking today. Thank you so much. You have sent the help, aka Barbara. So sorry if you want to call and contribute to the program,
Starting point is 00:30:25 as we so often beg you to do. Babs is not out there. She's at the Quiky Mart trying to buy pineapple juice because Rowan the diva has gone, I'll need it to lubricate me throat. Shogar could be at the calls, getting the calls if you want it. He is multi-tal.
Starting point is 00:30:40 He can't dip and pick up the calls. That's too much for the young man. Yeah, that's true. Anyway, there's other business to attend even in Babs' absence. Yeah. Just like the viral trend that's revealing men are creating secret manuals on their partners. It's amazing. There is a...
Starting point is 00:30:57 Not so secret now, is it? No, absolutely not. Social media creator Jessica Kirk shared an unexpectedly wholesome secret that's gone viral on this room. Mm-hmm. About her partner doing notes, the Notes app and making notes about her and what she needs. Oh, so she mentions something. God, you know, I could do with another pair of clogs. And he writes it down.
Starting point is 00:31:20 When her birthday is coming around, she has expressed interest in clogs. She put out a post asking if guys just really did this or if he was just going to kind of by himself. So did she go through his phone or something and see that? Or did he reveal it? Do we know how she came across the manual? She found a, yeah, she found in the notes that said about Raven. And it looked like it's...
Starting point is 00:31:40 Oh. He's got all the stuff there she likes. Maybe that's a nickname for her or something. He doesn't like chocolate but likes white chocolate. The favourite restaurant is Betty Hanna. And she reads over two books a month. Oh my God. This is wonderful.
Starting point is 00:31:51 Strikes me, he's a bit dumb. He doesn't just know that it'll be his missus. That's fair. He's written it down there because he remembered if you write it down. White chocolate, Benny Hanna and two books a month. He should be able to remember that. He didn't need to even look at the piece of paper to refresh that. That's fair, Rowan.
Starting point is 00:32:04 But, hey, I think the intention is lovely there. Because from that, from that, we could get really specific. I've got a full list of press. presence that friends, family, Angus in particular, have mentioned off the cuff. I'm not going to remember that nine months later. I've got a list for Shy Guy. I've got a start one for you. Start one for me.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Thank you. Thank you. Shy Guy says frozen peas. He likes a frozen pea and twigs. Makes sense. Another bloke section was called Facts about her. And what's that like? Essentially likes picnics, dance and candlelit.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Look, I actually don't think this is explaining men in a good stead at all. Okay, that one was a little generic. My girlfriend, my picnics and dancing. Yeah, man, take what you can get. It must be hard. I do feel for the women. Not all of us can be perfect. What about, like, shoe size.
Starting point is 00:32:56 What's Lucy, your girlfriend's shoe size, Rowan? She is a, this is one I understand. She's a UK 7. Oh, Jesus. What does that mean? That's very good. So I have to go in and go, oh, you need them. If it's right, it's correct.
Starting point is 00:33:09 He could be talking out of his absolute butt here. All right. What's her favourite? Chocolate bar. She loves the Lint 95. Oh, jeez. What's another hard question? Where's her dream holiday destination?
Starting point is 00:33:20 Probably Vanuatu, probably. Okay, you do that. Fiji kind of thing. She doesn't want to go anywhere. What's her bra size? Would you ever buy her lingerie? No, never. I wouldn't even think to even try.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Because that's more of a gift for you. Totally. Okay, you've got a great memory. She'd just be like, she would just be like, why are you buying this for me? I bought myself. Because I'd, or she'd be like, can you give me like $100 and I'll go buy myself, stuff, thanks. She wouldn't do that.
Starting point is 00:33:43 It could be a surprise. But she would just, she wouldn't probably do that anyway. I appreciate your saying you would have all this and you clearly do have it in your memory. But if that would, and it's not just men, women could do this for their partner. I do feel bad for women. I honestly can't tell you, Anger's a shoe sores. It's probably a 10. It's probably a 10.
Starting point is 00:34:00 But I don't want to now give him a pair of shoes that are too big. What about his undies? Medium. Well, it depends the brand because I bought him a pair of bamboos. Medium. By the way, ladies, men, oh my God, I get real passionate about this. Men only like the normal bonzies. Although he loves like, the normal, do not buy.
Starting point is 00:34:18 Like, seamless bambooies must be nice for women. Do not buy them for men. That's exactly what I got him, seamless bamboo. Because that's what I love. I only have one pair in my underwear. Women think, oh, it feels nice around me. Must be nice for them. Don't you want your boys to breathe?
Starting point is 00:34:33 It's their worst because there's no seams. There's no structure. There's no structure for the other world to sit. Your boys need a house. Your boys need a house. See, let me write this in the manual. Just remember it, bro. Like just remember.
Starting point is 00:34:43 I'm not. I'm going to go buy more bamboos. This is Jess and Rowan. Australia's favorite radio game. Oh my God. You dip me. Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm ahead.

Starting point is 00:44:33 Thank you, Gorge. Any time. Back again tomorrow. $10,000 at 7 and at 8 o'clock. Rowan, we've been on air for two hours and I've had to leash my tongue. Because I'm desperate to talk about this 13. year old Aussie kid in P-U. We need to celebrate him next.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Jess and Rowan, morning. This is Jess and Rowan. This is the most incredible story coming out of the West Coast of Australia. Oh, yeah. People are already saying, shut the nominees for the next Australian of the year. We just awarded those, obviously. We have found the next one. Granted, he would probably qualify in Ned Brockman's category.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Young Australian of the year. This is a name I want everyone to know. Austin Appleby. He is a year nine student. He's 13 years old, Rowan. It's amazing. This story is unbelievable. He's holidaying with his mum and his younger siblings, younger brother and younger sister.
Starting point is 00:45:34 12 and 8, the kids are. Austin's 13. They are holidaying off the coast of W.A. Where they think it's a beautiful morning. Let's take an inflatable kayak and some. paddle boards out for a bit of time on the water. It's not a bad idea. It's not a bad idea.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Lovely they. Hundreds, thousands of people would be doing this. Unfortunately, conditions change. The family gets swept basically out to sea. The kayak starts taking on water rowing. Oh, now it's not such a good idea, is it? Exactly. Austin and the family, obviously, mum Joanne, they start panicking.
Starting point is 00:46:12 We are in the middle of the frickin' ocean. Oh my God. What are we going to do? Joanne has to make the decision. This is Mum Joanne. One of us is going to have to try and swim to safety. Either swim to shore or try and flag down a vessel because no one is around us at the moment. And no one knows we're gone.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Yeah, right. So no one's looking for us. Of course. Austin at 13 years old says, Mum, you stay with Bow and Grace. I will swim. Weapon. What a weapon.
Starting point is 00:46:44 So first he starts on the paddleboard and he starts paddling. But he's fight in the ocean. He ditches the paddle board. It's him in a life jacket. He realizes the life jacket is kind of taken on water. It's holding him back. It's pushing him backwards. He ditches the life jacket.
Starting point is 00:47:01 Oh, my gosh. And swims Rowan for four kilometers. Four kilometers. What's a super triathlon? Like, what's that ultramarathon? I don't think there's it. What's an ultra, what's the ultra-tripe? Like, you know, those ultra-long.
Starting point is 00:47:17 Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. I've got an out of a chair. It is unbelievable. Superhuman swim, people are calling it online. Absolutely. It's incredible. He is doing survival backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle for two hours.
Starting point is 00:47:34 That's amazing. He did what he could to occupy his mind with happy thoughts. He's obviously been talking to media, Channel 7 over in Perth. He finally comes across. where is he? He gets to the sand from where they set off. Toby's Inlet.
Starting point is 00:47:48 It's a place called Toby's Inlet. He says his legs collapse. He quickly springs into action. Runs to a hotel. Uses his mum's phone to call Triple Zero. He's able to give a description of the vessels that he's left his family on, the kayak and the other paddle board.
Starting point is 00:48:03 Yeah, of course, yes. So obviously choppers, boats, marine rescue. They get them all back. Joanne, Grace, boat. They get them back to shore. This is. Austin talking to Channel 7. I was really scared.
Starting point is 00:48:18 I was just thinking, I was just thinking in my head, like thinking I was going to make it through. I was also thinking about all my friends at school and friends at my Christian youth. Yeah, I just said, all right, not today, not today, not today. I have to keep on going. When the need is great, I was going to say the devil will drive,
Starting point is 00:48:39 but it doesn't sound like he sports the devil. No, no, no, Christian. That's the same. That's not his saying. His little brother, Bo, the 12-year-old, talks to the media, Rowan. How's this? He goes, I'm so proud of him. He saved our lives.
Starting point is 00:48:50 He normally struggles doing 350 metres. So doing 4K is impressive. Wow. And I couldn't be more proud of my big brother. Now, Austin's dad, obviously, starts speaking to the rescue crew, wants to thank everyone. And one of the rescuers goes, cheese, your boy must be a strong swimmer.
Starting point is 00:49:09 And the dad reveals they just finished Vassons. Swim. Is that like a school subject over in Perth? It's a thing with the Department of Education for W.A. It's a swimming program for five to 17 year old. Okay, so Austin did this swimming program and the dad goes, he failed Vak Swim. So how the hell did he do four guys? He shouldn't have to be tested again. The Marine Rescuer goes, tell the teachers to call me because I can back up what the distance.
Starting point is 00:49:32 He has just swam. How would you ever thank your teenager? I don't know if you can. You can. You could, but how can you? I don't know. He has saved. Joanne is speechless.
Starting point is 00:49:41 Absolutely. I bet. She is, in all the vision, she is clinging to her children. Can you imagine that? Looking at your 13-year-old going, go, son. Yeah. Like, I believe in you. And she did say that to the media. I knew he could do it. I knew in him was the love and the passion to help us. You just have to do it.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Four kilometers swim. Wow. Today we give the Jess and Rowland gold medal to Austin Appleby. To the great man. To the great man. But what we thought we could do. Silver medal, maybe. Could do silver.
Starting point is 00:50:09 If we're doing gold, maybe there's some silvers we can give. So you're not going to win gold. You're not going to win gold today. There's nothing. There's nothing that's usurping. If you think you've got a child that's done something better than that, I would also love to hear from you. We would like to celebrate teenagers today because I think they get a bad rap in the modern day.
Starting point is 00:50:24 Yeah, thank you teenager for something they do. 13, 10, 60, have you got a mighty teen? Yeah. Or just like a pretty good one. Yeah. Because if Austin is the gold, maybe your kid managed to put, you know, his dirty clothes in the washing basket yesterday. I don't complain when you tell him to go to.
Starting point is 00:50:42 down the shops and get fishing chips and they come back with an extra banana cake. Maybe something like that because we understand the gap now from Austin's level. It's going to be hard to match. This is Jess and Rowan. Right now there's a name we want you to all know and remember. Shy guy. Also Austin, Appleby. Oh, him as well, yes, of course.
Starting point is 00:51:05 13 year old kid holidaying off the coast of WA with his mum, little sisters. they decide to take an inflatable kayak and some paddle boards out for a nice morning. Unfortunately, things turned a little south. Austin had to swim four kilometres back to shore, took him two hours, to call for help, rescue choppers, boats, they go out, they rescue Mum, Joanne and his little brother and sister. Everyone is okay. Yep. But he has received the Jess and Rowan gold medal for a Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Amen, he has. He is unbelievable. And this is a kid who failed like a swim component at a WA school. That's unbelievable. Vak swim, it's called. And his dad's telling everyone, he failed Vak Swim. And yet when push came to shove, Swam 4K. Good friend of the show, Amy has DM'd us.
Starting point is 00:51:56 An Iron Man swim triath, like the component of the triathlon, 3.8K. Yeah, that's what I thought. You know what I'm saying? Iron Man. Iron Man. He's 13. He's got our gold medal. Forget those jacked up blokes on Nutragan and the crop tops.
Starting point is 00:52:10 Put him on it. Amen. Can we do it? Amen. Can we do all the Kellogg's or something? Enough of these like super jacked, awesome, chiseled, gorgeous. Because I would argue those guys and girls. The jeopardy.
Starting point is 00:52:24 Yeah, it's hard. It's open ocean, swim. The jeopardy of your mum and little brother and sister. No. That's unbelievable. Put him on the new chagrain. The West Coast Eagles, his favorite AFL team have reached out. He's scored an invite to meet them.
Starting point is 00:52:38 Good. But he's also got the Jess and. on gold medal. Yeah, it's more important. Which begs the question, can we give us silver today? Love to. Is there another team who often get a bad rap? Do you want to thank your teenager?
Starting point is 00:52:49 It's a thankless job being a teenager. It's a thankless job. Lena got in touch 048-8-18-1069. We recently forced my 14-year-old to start contributing to weekly family dinners. She's got a night to cook. This week was the first time she did not set off the smoke alarm. Hashtag silver medal. Thank you. Thank you, Lena.
Starting point is 00:53:08 This is exactly what I was talking about. This is what I want. Thank him. Beck. Not particularly backhanded compliments, but thank him. But I want the context. Yeah. Because if she just said my kid didn't set off the smoke alarm, I'd be like, what?
Starting point is 00:53:18 Yeah, it's worth it. If she's done it for a year and now has managed to not burn the chicken. Well done, Lena. Well done, Lena's kid. Beck, good morning. Good morning, guys. Look, we've got a silver medal to give, because let's be real. Austin Applebee has got the gold clear as day.
Starting point is 00:53:34 He's amazing. He's amazing. But what's your teenager doing? I have a tween. She's 10. She acts like a teenager. She's got the sass for her. All do, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:44 But this girl has been mowing our lawn since she was seven. You got a seven-year-old mowing your lawns? Heck yeah. Heck, yeah. Contribute to the household. She does it. But absolutely, they have chores. And one of her chores is to mow the front lawn, and she's been doing it.
Starting point is 00:54:02 And how's her edges? Well, the big brother does the edges. Oh, okay. Half it doesn't do the full job. Half a job is what my mum would. call that. This is Jess and Rowan. Rowan.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Jess. You know Angus Harper, my dear, darling, dashing husband. Quite well. Gorgeous, man. You are one of the people I joke about that I was, you were my friend first. Facts. But in a very, very common occurrence, you met Gussie and now you like him better than me. Well, it was a very circumstantial friendship because let's be honest, he likes all the same shit I like.
Starting point is 00:54:37 That's true. And he owns a nightclub. Hello. We're homies. Makes sense. Everyone who meets Angus Shagga, I think you're my last remaining. You like me better than Angus friend. I just haven't hung out with him.
Starting point is 00:54:46 You just don't hang out with him. Exactly. That's exactly what I was like. Bab, you're never allowed to hang out with Angus. I need someone who likes me more than my husband. I like you more. Heaps more. Really?
Starting point is 00:54:56 Yeah. But you just, you get along with him so well. You talk all the time. Every time Angus is on the phone, I go, who was that? You go, Roald. I'm like, Rowl never calls me. No, I love your husband. Yeah, he's awesome.
Starting point is 00:55:09 And yet, could be better. Here we go. And I have such respect for him because I think... All right, all right. We get it. He's great. And he does keep our lives moving forward. But there's one thing I have critiqued him on recently.
Starting point is 00:55:23 Only one? Just the one I want to talk about. Okay, yeah. Okay. There is a bit of a... Oh, it's not a joke. It's actually quite the phenomenon that has been articulated on social media by a lot of female creators, particularly mums.
Starting point is 00:55:37 talking about I always take candid photos and video of my partner with the kids. I saw one yesterday. But I have nothing of me from him. So it's always the woman thinking this is sweet. I'll capture it. So dad has these amazing catalogue of him playing, being silly, even just walking down the street, a beautiful catalogue of candid moments with the kids. I already have my answer to the question you have not put up yet.
Starting point is 00:56:05 I already have the answer. But moms rarely get it. And maybe you could argue, oh, dad's just in the moment. He's not thinking about pulling out his phone when mum's having sweet time. But I said to Gussie, I have got so few candidates. With Lucia, our two-year-old, could you be better at whipping out your phone, please? It's always in your freaking hand. Don't act like it's not.
Starting point is 00:56:26 Can't you just hit record? He was like, of course, of course. So we went for a walk the other day. Took the dog, took the baby. Yeah. I got some cute vision of him running with Lucia. Near my joint, yes. Ah, yes, that's right.
Starting point is 00:56:40 I was going to text you. I thought, nah, it's family time. Family time. I don't want Uncle Rowan here. I would have been the favourite. That was just saying not me. But as we're walking along this beautiful path, there was that, you know, the free council gym equipment?
Starting point is 00:56:54 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes in just beautiful parks or just on the side of a footpath, there's like a little bike thing. Some, some, yeah. There was one little thingy, spiral thing you can do for shoulder mobility, apparently. There was an elliptical. Now, if you're unfamiliar with the elliptical, it's almost like you're on skis suspended in the air
Starting point is 00:57:12 and you get the arms pumping opposite time to the legs pumping. Lucia saw that and went, I want to have a go. Yeah. So I was like, well, Mummy will help you. Oh, yeah. I feel it's going. So Mummy's on one side of it. Lucia's on the other side of it.
Starting point is 00:57:25 Mummy does one little rotation. Mummy's not good at the elliptical. Mummy falls down. Look up. Angus is filming. And I said, listen, When the first candid, you've got to get me looking like a baby giraffe on ice skates, he's like, you wanted more candids.
Starting point is 00:57:42 Be better candidly then. Be more candidly, then. Well, be better just in your natural life if you want me to capture. Here's what I think. Talk to me. I think women are much more critical at how the photos are taken and their angles and their looks. Exactly like this. Like remember when I put up a few photos of...
Starting point is 00:58:05 Maddie and you and other, and Madi said, I don't look like this. And you're like, oh, why am I 19? I'm at Lucy's like, you're like, I'm last. So all this complaining and complaining and complaining and complaining. See, she's about to do it now as I'm talking about it. Complying, complain, complain. Where you guys take the photos, we go, that's awesome. Thank you, babe, love that.
Starting point is 00:58:26 It's not my fault. Angus is so naturally handsome. Help me be better. Just say, don't fall off the elliptical, you idiot. Help me. He's literally doing exactly as you told him. You were the clots. Yeah, but he... You could have picked better as well.
Starting point is 00:58:42 I know it was candid, but I was looking like... Are you hearing this? You're hearing this? I want to stay out of it. It was literally a great, candid video of the first time we were in the studio together, and you got a problem with it being at some point in the 20s. I read you to stand on that. He posted a 20 picture carousel.
Starting point is 00:58:57 Yeah. I was 16. Who cares, dude? Maddie. I wasn't counting the slide numbers. I think I was eight or something. Oh, you know that. You were third.
Starting point is 00:59:07 Oh, no. You knew that you were third. Maddie was second with her sweet, darling, beautiful child. She was like, oh, how dare you, I look like that? You're a mother caring for a child. It's not a problem. It's not what I'm thinking about. Maddie is a gorgeous woman.
Starting point is 00:59:20 So you're saying she didn't look gorgeous caring for her child. That's what I'm saying. This is why we cannot take candid photos of the ladies because it always is someone. So you know what you do? You withdraw and just don't do it. This is why. Be better.
Starting point is 00:59:35 You don't blame the model. You blame the photographer, videographer. You blame the model because the good one's good at it. You blame the model. But who's the photographer blaming? No one because they're perfect. Well. Just be better, boys.
Starting point is 00:59:47 No. This is Jess and Rowan. I want to ask you something about a actual special treat that you and I both love. Talk to me. I love a special treat. Is it a macadamia chalky shortbread? No. It is not.
Starting point is 00:59:59 It is a donut. It is, in fact, a very particular donut. And you may be familiar with these. They may have them wherever you are. They're called gluten-free donuts. They're big green van. G-free. G-free donuts.
Starting point is 01:00:13 They are magnificent. Unbelievable donuts. This is not sponsored. But if you would like to send us a family or the cousins even. The celebration is 100% of that one. So listen, that might be too. That might actually be too many. I'm telling you guys, these are the greatest donuts.
Starting point is 01:00:30 And they are divine. I've never had a bad. one they're hot steamy crispy beautiful and that's the thing isn't it rowan they've got the shack the tent what do you call it the marquee at the farmers market sometimes we go the farmer's market is there a greater joy in life than a sunday you've just bought your farm fresh as a keeney and iceberg lettuce and then you get yourself a donut out of the friar got one the other day at like a shopping centre that a little one of those old yeah they got some pop-ups pop-ups so they're doing well the g-free and they deserve to ordered five not just for me what's that is that
Starting point is 01:00:59 the family that's the family not just for me but i've noticed some You didn't need to clarify. Well, maybe you did. Mike, strike around in the shop the moment I needed clarify it. Ordered five, open the box, and I've come to expect an extra one. Oh, hang on a minute. Your repertoire with this business is... No, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:01:19 Just, I've been to markets. I've been to different ones popped up, and they normally drop you out another one. So not because you're Rowan. No, no, no, I think it's just that they... This is nice. But I want to know, is this a business place? Is this a business ploy? They're like, let's just chuck them in other ones.
Starting point is 01:01:33 They come back. But here's my problem. I have been before and I've got the normal amount. You ordered five and I got five. So let me get this straight. Is that 16, 17 year old, liking the vibe giving me another donut or they think stuff this bloke, he just gets the normal amount he paid for?
Starting point is 01:01:52 So you had too many, too many in a row where you got a cheeky one. Every time of the market. Every time of the market. When we go and we go, oh, look, Why don't we just get, we'll get the 10 and we'll share them. Be honest, because you're a hot and cold kind of guy. Were you rude? I am the same every time.
Starting point is 01:02:06 I don't believe you. No, because I'm excited. These are G-free donuts. You're kidding? I'd tell you if I'm rude sometimes. I am. But not to these guys. And you're not going to be in a bad mood when you're ordering donuts.
Starting point is 01:02:14 You can smell them. You're waiting for them. So what the hell? But it could be personal. You're right. What the hell? This particular donut slinger has sized you up and gone, no. There's something off about the vibe.
Starting point is 01:02:25 So Lucy and I got, we got one. And it didn't, it had the normal amount. Who ordered you? Because Lucy would be getting, she'd be getting extras. I think I ordered, right? Yeah, yeah. And then I opened it up, same amount, and I went, damn it! And Lucy went, let's pay for it, it's fine.
Starting point is 01:02:40 I said, that's fine. We went to do the shopping the next day. Saw another one, I was like, we have to test this. Have to. So then I got it. It would be remiss of us. Got five again. This like, I don't know, 17, 18 year old dude looked like a mat.
Starting point is 01:02:55 Had a mat vibe. The most generic white boy name. Ordered three, got four. So what is going on? Matt was a fan. I would love to get in touch with the owner of G-free. No, no. Is this a bit of a ploy?
Starting point is 01:03:11 Because it's a smart one. Have you just gotten everyone in trouble? Shit. Maybe it's not a thing. And these people are just trying to be cute. Maybe they're having a bit of a tough day. They're trying to spread joy. And now you've just outed them for giving away free product.
Starting point is 01:03:25 It's tough out there, Rowan. I don't know if you should have outed this. I have any question. Oh, welcome to the show show, Shryga. Thanks. What time of the day is this? This is kind of what I was thinking as well. But they make them all fresh. Why do you think they're trying to get rid of them?
Starting point is 01:03:39 Well, they might have one spare because they might have made six. Someone ordered three. Someone ordered two. Yeah. Got a little batch. If you go to Christmas cream, they're all the same heat. No, no, no. If you go to Christopher Cream after six or a dozen, they'll usually give you another box for like 50 cents.
Starting point is 01:03:54 Oh, because they're trying to get rid of the stock. Can we not talk about the competition here, please? We're talking about G-free, don't know? He's also shy guy. I love it to be. I love it to be. And then half an hour later, I will go and order a three. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:33 And we will see. Let's do that. That's a great idea. And then Babs, because Babs will probably get a lot. Come on, 10. Should be like, I need 10. No, that's not, that's not shaming. That's like, I believe.
Starting point is 01:04:44 No, because she'll get more. She'll get 12. And then we can all eat them. It's not. I think I might eat them more. I'll pay, babe. It's fine. Okay, then yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:52 Sure. Get 20, Babs. Yeah. 20. I'm excited. We're going to test this. All right, let's test this. This is a good one.
Starting point is 01:04:58 Any excuse to extend a couple of doughies. Where is the love in a box of donuts? Am I wrong? This is Jess and Rowan. You guys got a phone up showing Tygui something. Is it appropriate? I missed the DM. Oh, what was it?
Starting point is 01:05:09 From KFC. What? I know. Mate, check your requests. I feel so bad. What did they set? Can you say? Show me, show me, show me, show me.
Starting point is 01:05:19 Don't read it out. Show me. So earlier this week, we had Comedi, good friend of the show, who has stumbled upon the new KFC jingle. Oh my God. Do you want to say what they say? Did you say the last message at least?
Starting point is 01:05:33 Just give him the last message. Do you have any contact details? We want to get something sorted. We could have cut ourselves into this big deal that he wants to go to Europe on. A finger-licken surprise while he's with you guys. He's welcome, by the way. Listen, man, I've got a lot of my play. I can't be doing all of this on my own.
Starting point is 01:05:51 Oh my God. They could have DM'd me. Shit. Sorry, case. Get down. This is a. sick bed, by the line. No one, no one cares.
Starting point is 01:05:59 No one cares. Stop using technical lingo. Anyway, hell of a show. I have to punch out after this. Woo! I'm going to be here tomorrow. I'm on a be here tomorrow because my voice isn't working. Actually, does sound better now that at the start of the show.
Starting point is 01:06:12 He's not accrued any leave. Surely you're not accrued, any sick leave. You've been doing this job for eight days. Yeah, man. I got like at least, you'll probably have three hours. No. I probably have three hours. You'd have 25 minutes, maybe.
Starting point is 01:06:26 I don't want to have the da up. I want to be here with you guys. Well, you sounded very keen on getting boss Jason's opinion on the quality of your voice. Guys, I've had three years away from my passion and my love. I want to be here. And that's why your vocal cords are strange. See what that? 22 minutes of...
Starting point is 01:06:40 22? I was not far off. I'll come in tomorrow. 622. Would you rather come in at 622 or leave at 844? That's a good one. No, I want to be here for the full whack because I'm doing my bit for the community of radio. And we're having a great time doing it. I think such a great time, by the way.
Starting point is 01:06:56 away with you and Shy Guy. Rawan. Virgin Mary. Very good. Isn't that what you call her? Yes. Amongst other names. You know, she was producer hot sausage for a bit.
Starting point is 01:07:05 Would you like to call her that? Oh my God, producer hot sausage? Could we call you that instead? I love that. No. Because if you call her hot sausage, I call her Barbara and Shy Guy calls her Virgin Mary. It sounds like our team is a lot bigger than it is. And see, that's what the CEO would want.
Starting point is 01:07:20 Exactly. As we're minimising, you guys maximise. Hence why I'm in charge of reading and checking the DM. In KFC. I can't believe of all the... I thought if they were verified, they go straight through. They should. I, that's not a thing, shy guy.
Starting point is 01:07:33 Not a thing. Well, it should be. I feel so bad. Well, they did it. I'll reply today. Should I reply and say, he's coming in tomorrow? He's not. Yeah, say it.
Starting point is 01:07:42 And just... Say it. Lie to them. Yeah. Say, They know a sign now. Can you say, can you say we have a really big offer from Red Rooster? No.
Starting point is 01:07:51 And you need to get in with us quick because we will help you get it over the line. Because the Red Rooster is keen to B B B B Buck all over you. Give me your best finger licking good. No, I don't think it'll be this. I don't think this has been nice. Okay.
Starting point is 01:08:12 Should I isolate that? We'll send them. Anyway. We love McDonald's more, though. Of course we do. Sorry. Because they're not being hidden in the DM. We need to go.
Starting point is 01:08:23 We do. It's been a hell of a show. If you missed a minute, our podcast leaves on the listener app. Or wherever you get your pods. Totally. See you later, guys. Bye-bye.
