Try the big Brecky Range with Honey Saracha today.
Only at Maccas.
Here we go.
Welcome to the Jess and Ron podcast.
Welcome to the podcast, everybody.
Welcome.
Welcome.
A lot of learnings.
A lot of learning.
Well, for you and I, testing things out for Alfa Bucks.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, we thought it might have been asked the reason people were getting twos.
But no, it's just the contestant.
It's just the contestant.
It's just the contestant.
If you have some opinions.
Yeah.
Let's be real.
I know you've got opinions.
048-18-1069.
Let's keep them coming.
The first opinion we had on how to make Alfa Bucks more achievable was make the questions easier.
Yeah.
And how perfect that the woman who writes the questions is just sauntered in.
Babs, what say you make the questions easier?
Apparently, they're too hard.
Yeah, are you ruining it for everyone?
I would argue that you just need to get better.
Yeah, okay.
Amen.
Amen.
But then they would argue.
It shouldn't be easy to get.
No, that's actually spot on.
Spot on.
Although.
It's not like we're just handing it out.
It's not like a free can of Coca-Cola.
Have there been any other, shy guy, has it been any other $10,000 across the country go off from other shows?
Well, not every show has 10,000.
Another show does 1,000.
Another Sydney and Melbourne shows, they do 10,000, 50,000, 100,000, depending on the day.
But it does go off.
Has any gone off this year, though, I don't think so.
That's actually a great question.
question, whose region is the best at Alpha Bucks collectively?
We did this, didn't we doing this?
And who's the suckiest?
Oh, that's a great idea.
You know what I'm saying?
We should belate the points.
Maybe that's an interesting point.
Just for 2026, it's only been three months.
Shy guy, can you get a poll of the other producers?
Just put it out in the net.
How many winners have you guys had?
We don't need specifics, just how many?
They should know off the top of their head.
It's only been three months.
Yeah, sure.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, just ask the group chat.
Like, if Melbourne comes back and go, oh, we've had 15, yes, they've got more money to play with.
But let's have a look at what they're doing.
Is Fifi giving out all the answers?
Is that how they're getting so many winners?
That's a great point, Jess.
I don't think we do that.
That's a great point.
But I'd just like to know.
Extra clues.
We've had zero winners in 2026.
I bet they give you an answer to.
We've done zero clues.
A lot of other shows do the first letter, the first word.
I'd argue, Rowan.
Is that you want to win?
No.
But my issue is, and I know a lot of people in my seat who do the questions,
at the point they give the letter, they'll say,
your letters are, are for Ronan Keating.
And then it comes up, male singer.
Oh, yeah.
I wouldn't want to win.
Pathetic.
If I was handed the cookies, I want to know I stood on my own two feet.
Having said that, if you're getting 10 grander, you care how you got it.
Probably not.
Probably not.
But I don't like that.
I'm with you. I don't like when people get handed stuff.
I'm with you. I agree with it. You've got to win the tenure on your own.
I want you to feel like you did all the work.
And that's not us saving money, guys. That's just what we feel.
I just genuinely think you'll feel better. The glory of it looking in the mirror going,
I won that fair and square. No, I was handed half the job done.
Spot on, darling. You know what I'm saying. So that's me being on my high horse about it.
If you really want it, some of the same questions come up week to week.
I wouldn't even argue some. Most of the same.
Yeah. So it's like just.
maybe listen.
There's only so many categories in the world, isn't there, babes?
My problem is always the noun, verb, adjective.
Well, it's also not that hard.
But also, verb is a doing word, adjective is his describing word,
adverb describes an adjective and a noun is just a thing.
I'm going to stop you there.
What?
Adverb describes a verb.
Sorry, but I was so close.
No, no, you were.
Your mind was right.
Your words were wrong.
Mine right, word wrong.
But also, Ron, we could say, we've been over that.
Yeah, we could.
And when you've heard.
100 people get adjectives wrong or pass.
Look it up.
Look it up.
You know what?
For the rest of the week, there's no verb adverb adjective question.
I've actually been trying to not put them in there.
Wow.
So you're trying.
I am trying to make it easier.
There's only so much we can do, team.
We'd love to give away $10,000 before the month is up.
But I just...
We'll see how we go.
I don't know.
Because that's the first quarter, isn't it?
It's three months in, yeah.
All right, guys.
Enjoy the podcast.
Enjoy the podcast.
I'll see what we talk about.
Jess and Rowan.
In 2026, something new for breakfast.
Do you know, Jess?
Doesn't that help?
I care if you piss on me.
You'll get to know Rowan.
Oh, no.
Take the Hobbits to six, seven.
Shut up.
More on.
This is going to be good.
It's going to be fine.
It's going to be all right.
Anything could happen.
Most of it probably will.
That squawking fatty.
And Rowan.
Ah, you like what I did next.
This is Jess and Rowan.
This is going to be good.
Welcome to Wednesday.
Good morning, everybody.
Good morning.
How you feeling?
How you doing?
Well, rested.
Oh, fantastic.
Well, rested.
Did you wake up on your whoop said, congratulations?
Green.
Green recovery.
I'm not doing a lot in the afternoon, so you'd be worried.
You're going to remind everyone what you shared yesterday.
How long you start and watch Homeland?
Just in case.
That nine hours yesterday goes.
In case they missed it or didn't catch up on the pod.
I'm almost through season two now.
When you started on Monday.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm going to season two.
Listen, man, it's a hell of a show.
Amen.
That dude. Damien.
Lewis.
Lewis.
Yes, so good, man.
You know he's British.
Yeah, his American accent is amazing.
When I first saw him do an interview on one of the late nights, I could not grapple.
He's so good.
So good.
It's like Gillian Anderson.
Yeah.
You know, she's American.
Hell of a British accent.
Who's that one?
Gillian Anderson was the ex-file.
She was also sex education.
She was also in the crown.
Anyway, I'm always in awe
with actors who can nail the accent.
Shai Guy was saying there's eight seasons of homeland
and I don't know how it's going to keep going past three.
When you mention that you're on a homeland streak,
I said, what a great show.
Yeah, I think three of the best seasons of viewing.
Totally.
And then Shagai, yeah, there's a lot more.
I said, we must have dipped out.
Yeah.
I don't think we got through it.
Eight seasons is insane.
That's almost more than suits.
Through the length of COVID.
That was one of our COVID shows, and I only got through three.
Good show.
Great show.
Great show.
We also watch House.
Did you ever get into House?
I get into House.
Another actor who can do a great accent.
He's fantastic.
He's fantastic.
Oh my God.
What are we?
Are we a movie show now?
Are we a TV streaming show now?
We could be a TV streaming show.
I wanted to do like a pop culture quiz.
I got where we at with some pop culture quiz.
Because that's an area I think Rowan and I
evenly matched.
You want to do a pop quiz segment?
We could do a pop quiz.
But like, I don't know, it was Rowan v. Jess.
Because TV and movies, I think we're both pretty evenly matched.
Yeah, pretty fair.
As in, like, music you've got your hands down.
Overall TV movies or just one TV show.
No, no, overall TV knowledge.
Keep it interesting for the cookers at home.
General pop.
General pop.
But, yeah, that's something.
Could be good one.
Could be exciting.
Should we call it pop quiz?
The pop quiz?
I reckon we could go to the drawing board and work a little harder.
The naming's available is all.
It's a round.
That's what's saying, you know.
Morning, Babs.
Good morning
Oh guys Babs
His mum was here yesterday
I know
I know
I got it from my mama
I got it from my mama
I'm gonna go on there
I will
She's a gorgeous woman
I was so excited
to see her in the flesh
Hey man I was like
Older sister
Nice
I always get him on side
Nice
Did you show her around
Did she have a tour
She did get the tour
Yep
Was she impressed with the facilities
Where her sweet angel
works every day
Yeah she kept going
This is so cool
I said yes mom
She took a photo of the new
Back sock that has your name on it?
No, she didn't, but I sent her one the other day.
Oh, that's exciting.
Oh, family show here, guys.
Babs has been in the industry for two minutes.
And she's already jaded.
She's already lost.
How exciting this is.
She was so awkward yesterday.
Our mum was in.
She was like, oh, just come on, mum.
I know.
I said, you want to meet the boss, Sim.
He was like, oh, great to meet you.
Chase was like, lower your expectations.
I'm not that exciting.
He was so keen to get her out of there.
He was not talking to be everyone.
Anyway, big show today, guys.
we have alpha bucks again twice.
Obviously, live the dream code word.
There was some good momentum, and then our guy at eight, he got dumped.
That might be the first alpha bucks you've had to dump in 2020s.
You know, I've never dumped an alpha box ever.
Yeah, he deserved it though.
As soon as he started, I was like, this guy's going to.
Yeah, you were flirting with the dump button a couple of times.
I was sitting there like, where is it?
But so there was great momentum.
He sort of,
Crashed it into a wall, but that's okay.
Happens. We rebuild.
Happens.
Also, shy guy dips, we dip in.
Are you excited about your bag of lollies today?
Yeah, well, I was going to go a different route, but then I didn't have enough,
so I had to go with a different novel.
What was that?
Money?
No, no, no.
What was that sentence?
What do you mean, have enough?
Well, I was going to go a different category of lolly.
Oh.
Oh.
But I couldn't.
It doesn't make it.
Hey, 6 AM is welcome to the first clue.
Welcome to the first clue.
There's been a pivot.
If that gives you a clue.
You deserve to win.
Great.
Big show today.
Next, though, obviously the...
We're doing a Pornhub update.
Obviously, that blocked because of Australia.
The Australians can't get onto Pornhub anymore.
Are we got another update?
We have some news about...
Rowan's found a way through.
Here we go, baby.
I've hacked it.
I've hacked the maid, Fred.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Got to mention as well before, I have a big rant.
Rowan will rant about urinals.
Oh.
Interesting.
I feel like it would be part...
educational for me as well, having never used a urinal.
Totally.
Well, I might need you help.
Oh.
I ain't clean and none.
I want to touch that disgusting cake I've heard about.
That jug I told me about that soap cake.
Some of those smell really strong.
Oh, they're so bad.
They need to smell strong.
They're getting pissed on all day.
Troughboy.
Never mind.
Troff boy.
We'll get to that after six.
Anyway, standby.
DM you if you want to know who Troughboy was.
Oh, fuck.
I'm off DMing.
Rowan, yeah, Rowan.
Plot twist.
It was me.
You just send a photo of yourself.
Lying down the urinals.
It's not an excuse for you to send dick pics, okay?
That's why I don't use the normal ones in here.
Because it's triggering for me.
Troughboy.
Jets and Troughboy.
Trough boy's in the mix again, guys.
What's a better nickname for you?
Troughboy or Sugar Plum Fairy?
Which would you prefer?
What's a tough one?
Troughboys.
Lisa has a bit of resilience to it.
Sounds more manly.
It does, isn't it?
It makes you sound like a horse.
Makes it feel like it's my decision.
You know?
Yeah, it's like one of those nicknames you've tried to catch fire,
where a sugar plum fairy, you were bestowed.
Hey, speaking of kinks, guys,
a porn block in Australia, you know how that's happening.
Yeah.
You can't get on to porn hub anymore.
It's the real thing.
The light left your eyes when the porn hub block was brought in.
There is a real surge in men's sex toy sales in Australia after the block.
A few stats.
Sex toys have increased 30% week by week.
For men.
Yeah.
30%'s a lot, guys.
30% week on week.
That's a lot.
That is a lot.
Flashlight branded products surged 63%.
You know what flashlight is?
Yeah, I'm good.
Okay.
Anyone else doesn't know what it is?
D.
D.
Rowan,
yeah,
Roy.
Shy guy.
Oh,
or me, yep.
No, no.
While we're feeling questions about Trop Boy.
Hey, man.
Send us the pick.
And what's a flashlight?
You send us one of those as well.
Use code.
Rowan, yeah, Rowan 10.
Yeah.
On XXX.
com.
Adam and Eve branded sex dolls
have become the best-selling men's items of the week.
Now, the only time I've ever seen people buy sex dolls
is to get over that only two people in the same lane.
The transit lane.
Transit lane.
You know, we once had a cooker call up and say he used cadavers
because he would transport dead bodies.
He'd pop them in the passenger seat to get through the transit lane.
Eyes open?
Did you ask you about eyes open?
They were wrapped in like the gauze.
It was all very strange.
What are we doing, guys?
What do we do?
Just take the fight or driving the other lane.
Dead body next year?
No, dead body or sex, doll.
Whatever you need to do.
You put a hat in some sunglasses, you'll never know.
We've all got to get from A to B, right?
No, no, no, we already do that.
We don't have dead people next to us.
Are you kidding?
Someone really said that to you?
Yeah, they won Cooker of the year.
He gave him a thousand bucks.
Well, fair enough.
Was it Gary?
Greg, good morning to you if you're listening.
It was Greg.
Greg.
He can't hear his ears are blocked from the stink
in his car.
Oh my God.
I've completely lost.
Really?
Sorry, the sex dolls.
Yeah, sorry, me there.
Oh, that's good.
This lady Molly Berry,
she's the merchandise manager at Wild Secrets.
And she said, look, when a major source of adult entertainment suddenly becomes
harder to access, people look for alternatives that offer privacy and control.
Absolutely.
And I just love the ingenuity of dudes.
They go, how am I going to get me kicks?
Can't use it on a screen.
I'll go old school.
buy myself a toy.
Angela White fleshlights are selling
through the roof. She follows me on Instagram, by the
way. Does she?
Maybe not. Well, I still get all the
Angela White fan pages follow me, so I assume she does.
As a good
business strategy, you know, it's a thing. When someone
follows you, you follow them back and then you slide
into their DMs. Just so you know. Welcome to my
community. Here's my cookbook.
I wasn't following her and she followed me.
Shut up. We met in Sydney on the radio show.
I don't believe me. Then we had a night out at the Ivy.
Thank you.
Don't mind. Don't worry about it.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Yesterday, obviously everyone was talking about the Oscars, Rowan, the 98th Oscars.
Some big wins, a couple of upsets.
Our girl, Rose Byrne, obviously nominated for Best Actress.
Did not win.
No.
But kudos to Jesse Buckley.
Michael B. Jordan, obviously, taking it out.
I don't think, in a surprise over Timothy Shalamalaim Bong,
because he pissed off the opera and ballet people,
and I reckon they got their tentacles into the academy.
Yeah, he lost his Oscar.
He lost. Had it lose an Oscar in 10 days.
Piss off the arts.
Don't go for the other arts.
I have all the things.
Jacob Allorty, also Ozzie, nominated for Best Supporting.
He lost out to Sean Penn.
Couldn't believe he was nominated.
Yeah, he was nominated for Frankenstein.
I haven't seen Frankenstein.
For Best Supporting Actor.
He plays Frankenstein.
I always find it funny.
Interesting.
I understand Dr. Frankenstein would be the lead.
The Doctor's the lead.
The Doctor's the lead.
And the Monster is supporting.
And then Amy Madigan winning Best Supporting Act.
Sean Penn was really good in,
what he did.
One bad laugh.
Yeah, that one's best picture, didn't it?
Yeah, he was unbelievable.
Well, deserves the Oscar.
Yeah.
But we're talking about the nominees and the winners today
because it's come out what they all got as a goody bag.
Oh, I love to hear the goody bag chat.
So do I.
Love goody bag.
Quick price tag on the goody bag, Rowan.
If you were nominated for an Oscar, how much would you expect value-wise to be in your
take-home goody bag?
I mean, you're a Hollywood elite.
Wow, Hollywood Elite?
Yeah.
Like, it'd be like a hundred grand.
$500,000 goodie bag.
Whoa, okay.
So is it, that's a hell of a bag?
Of value that you would have to buy or like, yeah, tell me through what's in it.
So Lash Fari, she is the founder of the company in charge of putting the bags together.
So she gets hired by the Academy.
What a gig.
Makes sense.
The company's called Distinctive Assets.
And she's now been interviewed and she goes, my goal when I'm building the bag is that I go,
like, here's some cool shit I would have liked to get.
Yeah, totally.
So maybe Michael B. Jordan would like it too.
Absolutely.
Things like liposuction experiences,
which I just don't know how I feel about.
I'm not here for that one.
Particularly giving women, but even men in Hollywood,
who suffer the pressures of, you know,
what they look like all the time.
Also, what fat they sucking out of Shammalae.
There's no fat there.
Out of his head.
Out of his head.
Great call.
A voucher to stay in a life.
luxury villa in Ibiza.
Nice.
That's a good one.
For 16 people.
No, no, that'd be a huge house there.
That's a pretty big house.
That's a great one.
Yep.
A customised pre-nup.
Now, if I'm Rose Burns' husband, Bobby Carnival.
Wouldn't get your own done by your own lawyer?
And I go through her goody bag being like, what did you get?
What the hell's this?
A gift certificate.
A gift certificate to a lawyer to walk through the legal process.
A bottle of tequila.
A lot of the celebs have a tequila.
I wonder who's too.
Kila they get. A smile makeover package. You get to go to a trip to the dentist.
Okay.
A crypto wallet card. Now, I've just told you the bag is worth half a meal.
Oh, yeah. How much do you reckon they've put on the crypto wallet?
400 grand.
$300.00.
Is that all?
What's that about?
Oh, thanks.
That feels like a little bit of a disparity.
I reckon it was $5 grand and she's taking her cut.
Oh, you reckon.
Maybe.
And then to round it out just to keep them humble, you know?
Your L Fannings, your Delroy Lin,
windows, your Stellan Scars, guards, your Ethan Hawks, your Jesse Buckley's, some chocolate-covered almonds.
This is not a good bag.
Where's the $500,000?
I don't know.
It's like an iPad or anything in there?
No, this is our...
It's all sponsored stuff, right?
Wine glasses.
20 bucks?
Wine glasses.
I like this note, should this year's Oscar nominees want to celebrate the night modestly
with a glass of veno and a chocolate covered almond?
I wonder you having a nut allergy, what do you get in lieu of the almonds?
Or is she just plucking out your rams?
If I got a $500,000 gift bag and that's all that was in it, I'd be eating all the almonds.
I mean, how much is lipo?
Lipos, that's going to be expensive.
400 grand?
Oh, it depends.
Who is it?
Great question.
How much fat we're sucking out.
Yeah, could be a really heavy lipos session.
So there you go.
I mean, like, it sounds so amazing.
I thought they have cool.
Yeah.
I mean, the Ibitha, they led strong with the Ibitha Villa.
Maybe that was 400 grand.
But then to round it out with a bit of dentistry and some chocolate covered almonds.
Also, chocolate cover almonds are good for you.
are good for your teeth.
No, they're going to send you to...
Oh, there you go.
They cause the problem and then they send you to the dentist.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Rowan.
So this is a weekly thing now.
I've got to rant about something.
Don't act like you've got to rant about it.
It was going to be a here and there thing.
Now it's everyone.
It can be here and there.
You have got enough in the back pocket, I think.
There's so much stuff.
With which to express.
I thought I walked down the street.
I thought I walked down the street.
I find something.
Oh, you're walking down the street now.
I'm not just sitting down watching Homeland for nine hours.
I'll have you know yesterday.
Maybe I'd do a rant about you and your lack of support.
I did 15,000 steps yesterday.
Bull, crack.
Okay.
Hold on.
The rants are coming.
Hold on one sec.
One sec.
You told me on Monday from 1153 to 917.
You watched the homeland.
12.4 on Monday.
16.2 on Tuesday.
Did you see that?
Maybe I'll rant on how the team don't have me back.
You know what I reckon he's the one shy guy?
I reckon he's sitting there watching Homeland shaking his phone.
You know how people do that to cheat the pedometer?
A massive muscles.
Just shaking his phone.
I want to talk about urinals.
Okay.
So I don't know if there's any like particular things in the women's torts.
It's all just stalls, right?
Correct.
You don't just have like a line where you all kind of squat next to each other, do you?
No, the Shiwi didn't catch on well enough for that to now be a thing.
That could actually go in, by the way.
It could.
I, a couple of weeks ago, this is where it started for me.
I accidentally got some splashback on my shoe.
from someone else.
That's fine.
It happens.
That's not okay.
But it happens.
Whatever.
Were they standing too close to you?
Yeah,
too little too close.
Or a very powerful stream.
You know what?
I actually think they hit
one of those little soaps
you were talking about.
The cakes.
And it just ricocheted onto my left foot,
right?
Oh, so it wasn't like the stream.
No.
No, no, no.
Missed.
Shagga, there's a different thing,
splash back to a guy pissed on my foot.
I missed a splashback.
I just heard I got pee on my shoes
of the urinal.
Ever since then,
and it's happened before,
but summary,
and this time it really irked me.
Did he acknowledge it and apologize?
None of us brought it up.
I just kind of moved over.
I was at the Whitlam's on the weekend, watching the show.
Great show.
They were the orchestra.
Predominantly, everyone there was older.
I reckon I was pretty young there, to be honest.
I stood next to these three different blokes,
and they all, like, you've got to get rid of the excess somehow.
But...
Oh, you guys, you have to do the jiggle.
Thank you, Jess.
You have to do the jiggle.
Why, is it an old man thing maybe?
Maybe I'll get there.
Why, you turn your head that way, Jess.
Look over there.
And look what you see in your peripherals.
And tell me if you wouldn't be a little bit stressed.
I'm seeing out of my peripheral what looks like, Rowan convulsing.
These men, what do they do?
Just shake it a little bit.
Don't move your whole body.
Possible epileptic fit.
If I get some pissed on my shoulder, this is what I'm worried about.
That we can't ignore.
If you can't shake it off a little bit or as Jess likes to say the jiggle,
The jiggle.
Use the, used a stall.
No, but Rowan, I'm worried.
No, I'm worried.
We're getting agedest.
Do we know that it isn't an age thing?
Okay, let me just say this.
They were older crowd of the Whitlam, so they're all doing it.
But I've been next some blokes recently, who I'm probably a little bit older than me, maybe my age.
Okay, and they're doing it to me.
Really having a crack at it.
Well, you don't want.
Now you're just playing with it.
You don't want wee-wee on your undies.
I understand.
I think I can go, like, twitched when I saw him shake.
Oh, John's the next to me.
You've got to be relatively gentle with her, don't you?
Clearly not.
I am.
What do you do, shy guy?
Use the back of your palm.
He steps on his to squeeze out.
That's true.
Then throws it back over his shoulder.
This is Jess and Rowan.
This time yesterday, I mentioned to you, my friends,
that we have been requested, our presence, our company,
our participation,
In a waiter race, it is the inaugural event kicking off Newcastle Food Month on April 1st.
It is no April Fool's joke.
There'll be teams of waiters who must get a tray of rosées down a track.
And I shared with you yesterday, they would like us, the Jess and Roan program,
shy guy and babs rounding out that foursome, to partake in said relay.
I thought I'd be met with enthusiasm how wrong I was.
So yesterday we left at Rowan as maybe we've got some demands.
Maybe we've got some demands.
And if I can meet those demands, maybe then we'll see some enthusiasm.
Yeah, maybe, maybe.
Maybe.
I'd like to just reflect on one message that came through.
From who?
Page.
Is she the owner of the Food Month?
No, I don't know who Paige is.
Okay.
I feel like Rowan needs to be more positive about partaking in the way.
A beta race.
Yeah.
Like, let me listen to this show for some fun and not here winging.
My kids do that enough.
So I'm just going to put Paige's message out there.
Thanks, Paige.
I've already forgotten it.
Interesting.
So, shy guy and I have had some thoughts.
Babs is kind of a moot point because she's so close to you.
She's scared.
She's already sold itself out for a steak anyway.
So she's out.
You know what?
Steak is young.
That's more accurate.
That's your bargaining check.
That's okay.
That's okay.
Babs, you and I currently, two thumbs up.
I can buy your steak if you want.
Don't. See? Now she doesn't.
Now she doesn't know what she has to figure out what she really wants to do.
I'm Switzerland. I am happy to
like do whatever, you know?
For the show. Unfortunately, Babs,
I'm going to need either a yay or nay.
Oh, I'll do it. Perfect. Let's leave it there.
You're locked in. Yeah, locked in.
Let's leave it there. Move on.
Locked in. Lads. What can I do for you?
What can I do for you to get you in a car today?
I just want to say Rowan and I have the same.
We talked about it. We'll do that.
Same thoughts.
Yeah, I think we talked about it.
So Rowan speaks on behalf of the couple.
What Rome wants, I want.
Yeah.
What I want?
I'm not buying you the new Fortnite PlayStation.
No, no, no.
We don't play Fortnite.
Oh, sorry.
Why didn't we do it?
We should have done some PlayStation bucks.
What's the one you want, GTA?
Yeah, it's never.
That's coming later.
Oh, we could maybe switch it.
No, it's too late.
You've got your demands.
What are they?
Come on.
It's a similar demand.
We just, look, we just think,
Shygan and I thinks this just feels like a bit of a,
I want to look really good in my ambassadorship and you must do it for us.
So we should take a piece of your earnings.
I am not getting paid to partake in this event.
But?
That's full stop.
I want us to do it as fun.
Okay, I'll take a...
Funnies.
I'll change my track.
I don't understand why you think I'm getting paid to partake in a race.
It was...
You're an ambassador of it.
It's got nothing to do with this event.
The Waydow race has nothing to do with the ambassadorship.
Correct. I think it is a funny event.
This was the whole problem.
This was the whole problem yesterday.
There was that the ambassador.
No, I made it very clear yesterday, but you were...
Because shy and I didn't.
No, because both of you didn't have your listening ears on.
I told you I wasn't getting paid for the event.
It was for fun.
I get paid to promote this great local event as a collective.
But then the lady who was running at...
The lady who was running at Texas going, great, thanks for that.
Of course, because.
because people, they want eyeballs on the event.
I've told you, I knew you weren't listening yesterday.
It was...
We heard you.
There was no mention of me getting paid to be in the event.
Is that what you're saying?
We'll get you over the line.
You want 50 bucks.
Maybe.
Maybe. What do you think so?
I'll take a 50.
Yeah.
And a video game.
And a video game.
I'll settle for that.
Can I pick the video game?
Oh, God, no.
You pick, how much is a video game?
About 50 bucks.
Yeah.
So you want $100?
I think the problem is you paid Babs 200 to stick a fist in a mouth.
I did, but that was really exciting.
So the waiter race isn't as exciting?
Well, that was, that did a lot for me.
My head and I'd like you to try Biscop.
Okay, hang on.
I thought we came with demand.
Now we're just adding stuff.
No, no, no, no.
We're going to cap it at three demands each.
That's fine.
That's all three.
Three demands.
Shy guy wants $50 cash.
I'll skip the cash.
A game of my choosing.
A game of your choosing.
And you try Biscoff.
Isn't it just like a two-minute thing?
Less than.
It depends how fast we move, Babs.
Oh, my God.
Game of choosing and Biskof.
And Rowan, what do you want?
Oh, would you like you to try the other Biskof?
So there's two Biskopf, so you can try the other Biscop.
I can try the Biscop for you.
This is actually pretty reasonable.
These are food month event we partaking in.
That's actually pretty pretty reason.
It makes sense.
It makes sense.
I'm not actually.
Sorry.
Oh, no.
A Biscoff dessert.
Oh, that's a Bisk off dessert.
Not just a spread.
Sure, I can have spread.
I would like to do a spread.
I don't want it before 9 a.m. though.
Can I eat it a dessert appropriate time?
No, it's got to be on air.
It's going to be on air.
We finish at 9.
Oh, fair.
Okay, sure.
Yeah, we finish at nine.
I can get that.
Would you like something else?
I cash down.
I think if you're...
You're done.
No, I'm good.
I'm all in now.
I'm with bats.
Rowan, you got one other thing.
I can't believe.
leave you make me do this.
I think if you pay Babs 50 bucks, I'll do it.
So I buy her steak dinner and give her
$50 and you'll be happy.
And you'll partake in the way to race.
And a Nintendo game.
She doesn't have a Nintendo.
I don't need books.
I'm smart.
50 bucks, borrow a book.
Steak in a book for Babs.
Steak in a book.
Yeah.
And that's my, I don't need anything.
I'm fine.
You, ma...
Is that okay?
We're in the way.
Yeah.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Alfa Bucks. Jess and Rowan's 10K Alfa Bucks on hit.
I'll tell you what, I feel good today. It's in my waters.
Yeah.
That I reckon we may have a winner with the great Jada. Hey you.
Hello.
Jada, we're feeling good for a Wednesday.
The question is, are you going to take this all the way?
Our first $10,000 winner for 2026?
I hope so.
Okay, come on.
The time for hoping, Shada.
Did you not hear my Wicked? It's in my waters. I'm feeling it.
Let's try again, Jada.
Are you going to be our first winner for 2026?
Yes, I'm feeling confidence.
Yes, Queen.
What are you going to spend 10 grand on?
It'll go towards paying off the rest of my car loan.
Okay.
Very sensible.
I love it.
What car do you have?
The Mitsubishi ASX.
Okay.
Oh, nice.
All right.
All right.
Your letter, you're working with Jada's towards the back end of the alphabet.
You're going to work with the letter,
W, W for wheels.
All right.
W for winning.
For winning, that's fantastic.
Your time will start after the first question.
Let's do it.
Starting with the letter W, we need you to name.
A country.
A drink.
A reality TV show.
Pass.
A confectionary brand.
A five-letter word.
A school subject.
Writing.
A band.
A magazine.
Okay.
All right.
I should have just let her hope.
I forced it to be confident.
Maybe it's your fault.
I always feel that's my fault.
Maybe it's our fault.
Maybe we need to stop pumping it up too much because it might get into it.
Should we tell people you're going to suck?
And then they prove us wrong.
Maybe that.
Maybe that.
We'll workshop that at A.
Jada.
I got two ticks here.
Ron, what do you got?
Oh, you gave it right.
Yeah, I got two ticks as well.
I got two.
Two tips.
Could have whales for a country.
Could have had Wife swap, wipe out for a TV show, a reality TV show.
Wither's Wonka, Pection of your brand.
Five of the word.
Whale, watch, water.
Ben, wolf mother, weiser.
White snake.
Westlife.
I nearly tripped on that.
West life.
It's my favourite.
Jada, thank you for joining the show.
No worries.
Thank you.
Adios, macho.
Back again, eight o'clock.
I reckon, I do actually think it might be you and I.
really pumping people up.
I want people to feel excited about this.
So do I, but it's not working.
Rowan, the privilege of trying to play for 10 grand.
But all right, why don't we come on at 8?
Say hello.
Hello?
This is your letter.
To be fair, boss, Jase would love that.
He would love that.
He's been asking us to do that for 10 years.
Yeah, okay, we'll do that.
We need to change our tact a bit to 8.
We do need to change.
We'll change it a bit.
Imagine they win the 10 grand.
Oh, by the way, kayakers have got hit by something you would not expect.
It was amazing stories.
We will talk about that next.
After Bruno Martin, 5'2 King.
I just might.
Jess and Rowan, morning.
This is Jess and Rowan.
We're asking what unexpected thing hit you or what unexpected thing did you hit?
Maybe you were at fault.
I mean, magpie's are unexpected, but this is a bit more hectic.
This is a bit more hectic.
And actually, I'd love to cast some blame.
When I give you the facts of the case, round, you tell me who's a fault in this story.
I love to.
My favourite thing.
There's unbelievable vision.
circulating on social media out of Fair Canberra.
Over the weekend, they had the Canberra balloon spectacular.
Oh, lovely.
Which is exactly what it sounds like, a bunch of hot air balloons flying over Lake Burley Griffin.
That's just spectacular.
It is spectacular.
I love a hot air balloon.
And apparently it's a thing.
People jump in their kayaks or they rent them for the morning and they paddle around to get a beautiful
view.
It is also a thing that some of the hot air balloons, the really good,
pilots drop really low and skim along the lake.
Making a bit of a bit of a thing.
Important detail.
That is an important detail.
Two blokes, Eric and William, they're out there paddling.
They're in a kayak.
They're having a great time.
They're looking all around.
They're taking GoPro Vision, a couple of pickies.
Nice.
They turn to the left and they go, geez, look how close this one's getting.
It's going to fly right over us.
And then Eric goes, geez, he's getting a bit low and he's coming straight for us.
paddle, William, paddle.
So you see them, someone else is filming,
furiously paddling straight into the line of the hot air balloon,
hot air balloon basket, knocks them off their kayak,
topples them into the lake.
They're wearing live vests.
They are fine.
Everyone's fine.
But what an unexpected thing to hitcher.
I think I've charged.
I think we quickly spoke about this story off the air.
But I didn't know that they would try to show off and skim the water.
I think it's hot air balloon's fault.
Okay.
And that's what's the detail I thought was important.
I don't know if that's what this basket balloon pilot was trying to do.
Who's doing tricks in a hot air balloon?
But he was getting very low.
It wasn't like they were losing the fire.
He was getting low.
I think he was trying to skim.
But the vision of Eric and William, it literally looks like they're aiming for it.
It reminds me of Austin Bowers.
Move, move.
Careful, Austin.
No!
Like in the scenario rowing, I just feel like Eric and William could have paddled in a different direction.
It looks like they went straight for the balloon.
I feel like it's the balloons fault now.
Because now they're sitting there taking photos and enjoying themselves, they're perched.
These idiot in the balloons go on, watch me skim and then didn't do it right.
Yeah, but the dudes, Eric and William, paddle towards them.
Paddle away, boys.
There's some blame to be shown for the boys because they had paddles and they had pedals and they looked capable.
They're very thin.
They work.
But they did look very, very well-versed in a kayak.
But the hot air balloons are in the water.
I mean, the hot air are in the water.
In the sky.
Kayaks are in the water.
That's right.
So why is the balloon trying to go near the water?
There's a lot of blame to be passed around.
It is nice to hear that not only has the video garnered more than a million views,
so Eric and William are now famous,
the pilot of the hot air balloon, the one who knocked them off the kayak,
has contacted both men.
offered them a free flight in his hot air balloon.
They're not getting in that.
That's a streaming fault.
He knows it's his fault.
No, I just think he wants to keep the views going.
That's amazing business.
Amazing business.
So 131060 or 048-8-18-1069, what unexpected thing hit you?
Or maybe from the balloon pilot's perspective, what unexpected thing did you hit?
Correct.
A couple of boys in a kayak.
I got hit by a magpie once and that wasn't.
Fun? On a bike?
No, I was running.
Didn't like it.
Swoopy area.
Swoopy boy.
Swoopy boy.
Well, then you should have expected it.
Swoopy area.
It started swinging out of it didn't work.
You've got to have that.
You got to wear the hat with the cable ties.
Oh, yeah.
Like all the cool kids too.
Yeah, Dad does that.
13, 10, 6th.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Right now we are asking what unexpected thing hit you or what unexpected thing did you hit?
Does you hit?
Because we're looking at both a perspective of a couple of boys in a kayak on Lake Burley.
Griffin in Canberra and a hot air balloon pilot.
The boys were kayaking at the Canberra balloon spectacular.
One of the balloons was going to do the thing where they skimmed the lake.
Unfortunately, they skimmed the boys in the kayak, knocked them off.
They're okay.
And shy guys found a little bit of Eric talking to the ABC.
So we were actually, we were doing a selfie to the different hot air balloon.
And then when we turned back and said, oh, this one coming to us.
And I did my math wrong.
I thought he's going to fly over us,
but it's not actually like collided with us.
But it's not.
It's actually like water is really well.
This will do fun to watch, well, Joe.
The water was really warm.
I love.
I also like the phrase, I did my math wrong.
Like he did a calculation in the moment.
Jesus Christ.
William, I reckon we're going to go under the thing.
No, it's gone on top of us.
Smack.
Joe has called through.
Good morning, Joe.
Hey, morning, guys.
What unexpected thing hit you.
Well, when I was 15, 16, mate and I used to ride push bikes like racing bikes.
We were out for ride one morning on the weekend and cruising along, head down, looking where I was going.
The next thing I know, I get smacked in the back of the head.
Turns out that there was a guy towing a little sailing boat and his mast had come adrift.
And, yeah, it's gone 90 degrees to the boat and clip me in the back of the head as he's gone past.
Shut up.
How's your head?
Are you good?
Well, when I told my wife,
she goes, well, that explains a lot of things.
I can't believe you stayed on the bike.
That's crazy.
He must have really been locked in.
Owen, good morning.
Morning, crew.
How are I with this morning?
Good, thank you.
Couldn't be better.
Owen.
What unexpected thing hit you?
So I was playing Friday night soccer a couple of years ago.
It was dark.
Went to retrieve an errant ball from under the tree.
trees, got the ball, came running back towards the field, and was suddenly flattened my back.
A shopping trolley had viciously jumped down and attacked me from the tree.
Someone had left it up there.
Up the tree?
Yeah.
So, and it just, at that perfect moment, it came loose and landed on you.
Yep, yep.
So a nice little cut to the head.
Yeah, it made for a good story at the presentation that you though.
Was it green?
Sorry?
Was it green, calling?
Oh, I'm sure it was very environmentally sound.
Oh, I meant Woolworth.
That's okay.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Grace.
Grace is called through.
Good morning.
Hello.
I like this.
Grace.
What unexpected thing did you hit?
Well, yeah, we hit something.
So it was driving from Port.
Sorry, my voice.
No, you sound suspicious.
Should you be telling this story?
Are you trying to change your own voice?
I know.
I'm so sorry.
Your name's not Grace, isn't it?
We were driving from Port.
McCrory for my son's NFL game and um he was in one of my friends cars because we only had a
five-seater so i had three of my other kids with me and we're driving from port and it was so late at
night because we had dinner before and smack man in the middle of the highway like we had no
warning we hit it we hit a cow on the road cow that's a ride off great yeah definitely yeah
are you okay yeah how fast were you going 110
Does the cow come through the windshield?
Or does the car just stop?
Like when you hit a cow, does the cow come off better?
Oh, it was like hitting a brick wall.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Totally.
Oh, my God.
Luckily, like, luckily everyone's okay and it did hit someone else before.
So they kind of, we didn't kill it.
So I'm so sorry, cow.
But it was already dead.
So it was laying on the grip.
Oh.
Oh, you hit a dead cow.
You picture just a cow stand and they're like,
T-bones.
Mo.
No.
Grace, that's crazy.
Ron, we've got a couple of texts come through.
Text me.
These are unbelievable.
I don't even know which one to start with.
Let's go.
This person hasn't set in their name.
I walked outside my hotel on the first night.
A schoolies in Bali.
I was amped up and I screamed,
woo!
A guy riding past on a scooter slapped me across the face and kept going on.
Fair place.
And Natasha has text.
My mother-in-law was reversing out of a car park,
swears, she checked their mirrors and no blind spots,
kept reversing and hit a man.
Oh, a blind man.
What?
She got out of the car.
Oh, my God, oh, my God.
I'm sorry, I didn't see you.
He goes, yeah, I didn't see you either.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Australia's favorite radio game.
Oh, my God.
You dip you, dip me down.
Oh, my God, oh, my God.
I'm ahead.
Oh, he dipping. We're dipping good, baby.
He's got some lollies. He will dip them. You win them.
131060. He will give you a series of clues.
You tell us what this bag of lollies is. You get your own bag.
Yeah, man. Like whatever the lollies, you get it.
You get it. He might open a bag.
That's how it works.
He might open a bag because sometimes he tastes tests and gives you flavor clues.
We always have a second bag. An unopened bag.
delivered to you in the post.
Your best, your best lollies so far were those ones I'd never had before from Audi.
The joysticks.
Every day after the show, Rowan goes,
where are they?
Sniff it.
You're like a truffle dog.
You know, they go, where's the truffles?
You know what?
It's like my one little treat of the day, because I have them about an hour before I go to the gym
and the quick carbs help.
Nice little glucose here.
Bunk.
Daddy can do his push and pull a little better.
Daddy, Daddy's pulling.
Daddy's pulling.
Shy guy.
The first clue, please.
Red bag.
Oh, it's a big clue, I think.
I know, but I've heard it so.
You have a real thing about what the red bag might be.
And the first cab off the rank does get a second clue.
So let's rack them up.
131060.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Australia's favorite radio game.
Oh, my God.
You dip you dip me down.
Oh my God.
Oh, my God.
I'm a hard.
The shy guy dips.
Absolutely.
He dipping.
131060, would you like to be guessing?
Yeah, if you want to be guessing the dippin, you can be.
Hello to you, Jess.
Hello, how you going?
Hi, Jess, we're fantastic.
We have heard that the lollies come in a red bag,
but as the first caller, you get another clue, sis.
What are you got for Jess?
Two colours.
Two colours.
Of the lollies.
The lollies, two different colours.
The lollies, themselves.
Two different colours.
Jess.
What do you think, Jess?
I've got nothing.
I jumped the gun.
I saw a red, red bag.
And I was like, yep, it's a red frog.
But it's not.
Oh, see, you've associated bag colour with confectionery colour.
That's a dangerous mistake.
And it's lost you.
The bag of lollies.
Unfortunately.
Sorry, Jess.
1310.
This is what we call in the industry, Rowan.
You need to pivot.
Got a pivot on something.
You've come locked in.
And commit to something, for sure.
Yes.
Elijah, good morning.
Good morning.
We've heard red bag.
Each lolly is two colours.
You get a.
another clue though.
Unique shape, Elijah.
Oh my God, he's opened the bag.
I've opened the bag.
Unique shape.
Unique shape, I'd say.
For a lolly.
Unique shape.
Unique shape.
Strawberries and cream.
Is it strawberries and cream?
Strawberries and cream with an assist from the side.
Tis not strawberries and cream.
It is.
But I appreciate that because we've had peaches and cream.
We've not seen strawberries and cream.
So it could make an appearance in the game.
Unique.
shape. I think that's very important.
Red bag. Two colours. I think two colours also very important.
Yeah, absolutely.
There's a whole lot of two-colour lollies going on.
There is. There is. Let's go to Luke. Good morning, Luke.
Morning, Luke. Good morning.
Luke, red bag, two colours, unique shape. You get another clue.
One word, Luke. One word.
Pineapples.
Is it pineapples? Yes, it is.
Now to Luke.
Fantastic.
You seem thrilled about it, Luke.
Good on you, Luke.
Are you excited?
Oh, yeah.
Do you like pineapples?
Yeah, they're all right, I guess.
They're all right.
Well, unfortunately, we can't give you any other lolly
because that's just what you've won.
So do you want us to post it to you
or should I save on the shipping?
Yeah, no, I'll take them.
Yeah, I'll take that.
Yeah, yeah.
The big breaky range with honey saracha is now at Maccas.
Available before 1130 a.m.
Only for a limited time.
Jess and Rowan.
We're back straight after this.
On hit.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Alpha bucks again at 8 o'clock.
Are we going to change our tact?
And now we intro people because we might be throwing them off.
I think so.
Anyone who comes on and says,
I hope I win, we give them the third degree.
And I think that makes them uncomfortable and then they suck at the game.
We've got a two at seven.
Maybe we just need to let them just say however they feel and we move on or something.
I don't know.
I think we're ruining.
But I almost can't allow that.
Well, you might have to.
We might have to.
We've got to change something.
And what are we in control of?
Our own behaviour.
That's true.
Someone's behaviour.
I'm not in control of, Rowan.
Good one.
The two-year-old in my life.
Should be your mum.
I am, but it's a strong-willed age.
And she's a Scorpio.
Okay.
All right.
She's very independent.
The girl knows what she likes, what she does a like, what she wants to do, what she doesn't want to do.
Yeah.
Unfortunately, mummy has commitments.
So sometimes she has to tag along.
And I'm worried her behaviour is going to get one of my mum.
my ambassadorships taken away from me.
We've got 35 others, so maybe one will be okay.
Maybe one will help the family.
Mommy's got bills to pay, all right?
Leave me with me 35.
Yeah, sure, sure, sure.
But I take her for a little lunch date the other day.
We got to eat.
Lovely, of course.
But two birds once, though,
and I also needed to film some content related to the food
this particular eatery serves.
Lovely, yes.
Pizza was on the menu.
What two-year-old doesn't.
love pizza.
Everyone loves.
The chick's middle name is Margarita.
Sure.
I bought us a margarita.
Sure.
But because hashtag balance also get a side salad.
Good one.
I'm a big believer in a nice bowl of greens alongside a carb, all right?
Balance.
Yeah.
So the margarita pizza comes out.
I'll start filming.
Get her a little slice.
This is great.
The salad gets brought out.
Now, I'm not going to leave a bad review.
It was very kindly a comped meal.
And as I said, I had to do the content for it.
Rocket has no place in a salad.
I hate Rocket.
In my opinion, Rocket sucks.
Just put lettuce, man.
Lettis is superior green stuff.
But I keep all this stuff to myself because I'm an adult and I've got a job to do.
And it's a comp to meal.
That's also important.
Lucia loves salad.
Loves it.
She gets a big handful of it.
puts it in her mouth
and then very loudly
proclaims as she
removes the handful
that's yuck
and hits the K
her diction is unbelievable
her elocution and pronunciation
should be studied
but I don't know who taught her
yuck because that's not a word
allowed in our house. Daddy. Daddy for sure.
But so loudly wrong well she has a fistful
of the rocket and I get it. Rockets yuck.
But we don't loudly yell that the chef and the waitress can hear that's yuck.
She smacked it down or something?
And smacked it down.
I'm like, sis, we are here to film this.
This is free, darling.
She'll try and shovel another piece of pizza in her mouth.
But she's doing that thing, you know, where it's like the remnants on her tongue.
She's doing the pat, pat, pat.
She's so dramatic.
Get it together, sis.
But now I'm worried because, you know, there's not the patrons there.
You aren't anyone there.
The chef.
No.
No.
And the child's yelling about...
And the child's yelling that's yuck.
Because normally you can hear child yelling.
Yes.
But when it's so targeted at the food.
That's why we always go for the 5pm early birds sitting,
or we try and do quieter places.
I don't want to disrupt people.
So she's rubbing her tongue to get the flavor of.
She's very clearly about the food.
But also, maybe a lesson for the chefs.
Where was it?
Don't put rocket.
Don't worry about where it was at.
Okay, really.
Interesting.
So anyway, Lulu, let's do you.
rain it in because mommy's got bills to pay and I can't have you stripping me of
just don't give the salad.
Yeah, maybe no rocket salad.
Jess Margarita pizza, yeah, yeah.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Jess and Rowan's 10K alpha bucks on hit.
Alrighty, and playing now at 8 o'clock is Jess.
Hello, Jess.
Good morning, guys.
How are you?
Good, thank you, Jess.
What do you want to spend $10,000 on?
My eldest boy is turning 16 on the 17th of May and we're having a little
party, so I'd like to go even more out and maybe put some money towards the car for him for next year.
Fantastic.
Wonderful.
The letter you're going to work with today is A.
A, perfect.
For Alpha Bucks.
Are you ready to play?
I am ready.
Your time will start after the first.
I am fighting against every fibre of my beam, not to talk to Jess a bit more.
I'm feeling pretty confident, guys.
Good, good.
Let's hope we get 10 today.
Good, all right.
A.
Your time will start after the first question.
Starting with the letter A, Jess, we need you to name something in the kitchen.
Pass.
An Australian athlete.
Pass.
Something loud.
Airplane.
A biscuit.
Pass.
An instrument.
Pass.
Something you read.
A luxury clothing brand.
A vegetable.
A potato.
A super hero.
Okay.
So two are you.
So two again.
So two again means it's not us.
It's not us.
Good.
No, that was terrible.
Jess, that sucked, man.
What happened?
So bad, Jess.
There were some easy ones in there.
Come on.
You could add apple.
You could have said anything for the kitchen.
Could have said anything.
Could have said floor.
I mean, not done it anyway.
No, you can't because I'll start with A roll.
Oh, so you know the game, do you?
That's true.
That's the bad part.
That was a test you passed.
What else?
Australian athlete, Andrew Johns, Biscuit and Zach Biscuit, instrument,
acoustic guitar.
Something you read, article, luxury bland, Armani.
And you got...
You got Arden's choke on the buzzer, which is pretty impressive.
Two on the buzzers, great.
Two.
Jess, your son's party will have to be as intimate as possible
because it's coming out of your own pocket, right?
Tell him we said happy birthday.
Perfect.
I will. Thanks so much, guys.
Thanks, girlfriend. You're a delight.
Well, we've decided it's not us.
That's great.
I actually am glad because if that had worked, Rowan,
it's not in my nature to just say, hey, let's play us.
What do we get at seven?
Two.
Okay.
It's the same.
Okay.
What an experiment.
Okay.
This is good.
We're just trying new things.
We are.
Okay.
We're just trying new things.
If you've got an idea for us.
Text it.
Text it.
Yeah.
We're here to serve you.
I want to make it easier for you.
I thought the chat would calm people down.
But the no chat didn't do any event.
No, 44-88-1-069.
Besides giving you nine out of the 10 answers, what can we do for you?
Nothing.
We just have to sit here and just wait for a 10.
We've been close a couple of times.
We have been close.
We have.
Next, how did you cancel your membership?
Yeah, what lens did you have to go to because a colleague of ours?
Sometimes it's hard.
Talk about that next.
This is Jess and Rowan.
We asked for your feedback.
What do we need to do?
better for alpha bucks to get a little bit closer to 10.
Someone text us.
Write easier questions.
Okay.
We'll take that on board.
They're pretty easy.
An instrument, acoustic guitar.
I mean, that's like the classic instrument.
That's all right.
We're taking all feedback on board to make sure tomorrow we can give away $10,000.
We'll take it on board.
We'll take it on board.
One of our staff members here, one of the Danny, the lovely Danny who helps us on the show.
Absolutely.
The power house, Danny here.
She's just the best.
Brings the kids in all the time.
You know, Danny and I, like, got our first radio jobs together.
We were in the same interview.
She did tell me that.
Isn't that crazy?
Ten years ago.
Ten years ago, as little radio nerdlings, just wanting to get a foot in the door.
She had to do, like, weird games and stuff.
It was strange.
Did you both crash the street team vehicle?
Or was that just you?
I did definitely hit it.
She would have, for sure, but probably didn't tell anyone.
Yeah.
She's good at covering her tracks, old Danielle.
Well, speaking of covering her tracks, she's trying to get out of the gym.
membership.
Which is one of life's most impossible tasks.
This is her talking about it.
Hey guys, so I have a story for you about how I got out of my gym membership.
So I wanted to cancel to change gyms, but they wouldn't let me.
They said I had to pay $560 to get out of my contract.
And so I just went to the doctors, got her to write a note to say I've got a bad back
and that I was unfit for training, took it back to my gym and they canceled my gym membership
on the spot.
She's a rush.
She's a rush.
She's always in rush.
This is Danny.
Three kids.
She's got three kids and managing us.
Why do you have to do so much to get out of some contracts sometimes?
100%.
The gym, I just want to get out of it.
Bug her off.
A $500 exit fee is crazy.
That's not cool, man.
It's not cool, but I love the idea.
The GP went, yeah, I do think that's ridiculous.
Yeah.
It's not like she wanted to quit the gym altogether.
She understands how important physical exercise is.
She just wanted to just do something else that would suit her lifestyle.
Something else.
Somewhere else, probably.
Absolutely.
So she's had to do something.
to go and get, I was about to say, a fraudulent document.
I do know she has a dodge back.
So it's not that fraudy.
I guess she got it.
And also, going to the doctor is probably 10% of the price she would have to get out of them.
Very true.
So 13, 1060, we know it's not just gyms, but you know you've got these lock-in contracts.
You don't read the fine print.
Who's reading teas and sees all the way through to the end?
Yeah.
Have you come up against an obstacle and gone, I'm going to find a way around you,
a membership, a subscription, perhaps?
Correct.
Correct.
Whatever it might be.
I have an Adobe subscription that I feel like I've been trying to get out for like three years.
It just keeps going on.
Because you just keep renewing as well.
Yeah, renews.
And then I wanted the good ones.
I was like 100 bucks a month and I realized it wasn't using it.
So I tried to get out of it.
And they were like, you have to pay the whole annual fare.
I'm like, oh my God.
But they said, if you drop down to our level down, it was like 30 bucks, I could do that.
I was like, great.
But then as soon as I did that to do less, gave me another year.
And I went, oh.
And then God forbid, you need to end.
edit a PDF.
Ah, Jesus.
Now I've got to go back up to the multi...
No, thanks.
Multi-hundred dollar subscription.
So 13-1060, I love that.
How have you gotten out of the membership or the subscription?
What lengths did you have to go to?
What did you do?
What creative lengths did you go to?
To get out of a membership?
Maybe a subscription.
We know you sign these contracts and you don't read the T's and Cs.
Something changes for you.
You go, oh, God damn.
I tried to get it.
out of an Adobe subscription months and I just extended it by 12 months.
Damn it.
Damn it.
Someone has text through.
Stacey, this is very clever.
She goes, when I want to get out of a membership,
I close the bank account that has the direct debit attached to it.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just disappear and open a new bank account.
I said it feels like a lot of admin stays,
but I appreciate it's easier than dealing with anyone face to face.
Totally.
We're in a non-confrontational era.
Hello, Gabby.
Hello.
How are you, my dear?
Good morning, Gabby.
Thank you.
Yes.
I actually had this home internet plan and I wasn't getting good internet.
I was locked in and no matter how hard I tried to get rid of it, they were like, no,
you're going to have to go through tech support because we'll help you.
And after about six hours through various tech support lines, they were talking to me about my mobile subscription.
It was like, I don't even have a mobile subscription.
Yeah, what are we talking about?
So that was the magic point that I actually did.
cancel that particular credit card it was attached to.
Perfect.
Okay, this is, and this works.
And then they obviously, they still have your number and your email, Gabby.
Then they're chasing you?
I feel like you could get, that, that could be like a default.
Like, I think if you're not paying your bills, I think that's not great.
Yeah, does that affect your credit rating or something?
Yeah, yeah.
You probably should just.
Are you, are you in the clear?
I'm in the clear.
I've checked the stick of perfect credit.
I think it was pretty close towards the end of the subscription.
And that's the point they probably felt like no more chasing.
So they just cancelled it.
And, you know, I had enough evidence that I'd had hours on the phone with them trying to resolve.
100%.
She's got the proof.
Thank you, Gabby.
Tanya, Tanya has texts through.
Vague, Tanya.
I want more information here.
She goes, to break my lease about 20 years ago, how do you get out of a lease?
She goes, I got a doctor's certificate.
What from a doctor?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Like the house is giving me allergies or...
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe. Oh, I don't want to...
I was going to say it.
Say it.
I don't want to wrongly play the mental health card, but that's pretty effective.
Yeah, it's totally.
In 20, 26.
Oh, however, this is 20 years ago, says Tanya.
Yeah, so mental health fair game.
Mental health fair game to break a lease.
You should try that with Adobe.
Oh, my God.
Get your naturopath to write you a note.
All these fees are sending me mad.
Absolutely.
I'm sad now, guys.
Let him out of it.
Come on.
I did actually go on Premiere Pro the other day, and I was like, this is quite useful.
It's pretty useful.
It's worth the money.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Jess and Rowan, good morning.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Ha.
Yeah.
It was a one.
Sorry, bye back.
Ha, ha.
There you go.
Ha.
Oh, it's.
Tough down.
I knew that again.
That one.
I was enjoying that.
Nelly.
made me feel silly.
Good show today, guys.
Fun.
Great show.
If you missed it, we are doing the waiter race.
We'll have more on that tomorrow.
Unbelievable.
Someone just text us saying,
Jess,
they're all extorting you.
I'm like, yeah, I know.
Literally.
That's how I think my friends to play with me,
sweet friend.
A bit of fun.
Absolutely.
So we're going to do that.
It's going to be fun.
We're going to dress up.
Absolutely.
We will.
It's April 1.
This is no April 1.
Bull's joke. We will be partaking.
Hit has a team.
Is your husband putting a team in then?
Great question.
They're not?
I haven't heard.
Oh, see, I think that's why I thought the whole thing was that they were doing a team.
When I discussed it with him, he goes, ooh, we do have a staff member.
I call the Traylord.
Because apparently she's unbelievable.
I went, well, she can't run the whole thing.
It's relay.
So the Traylord maybe can go first, but then the other three.
I reckon get a Nerf gun and shoot her in the hip.
I don't hate that.
I'm not against.
Shy guy can sit in the corner.
We get someone else other than Shy Guy to do the race with us, but shy guy's there.
Trey lord.
Sniper on the roof.
Do we steal the tray lord from Angus's team?
Oh my God, we do a trade.
Because to be fair, the only waitressing experience we have is Babs delivering soft drink
from the window of the Guzman restaurant to the car.
The Guzman restaurant.
Hang on there.
I've like been a waiter for years.
I thought we have the most experience out of all of us.
When was this information?
Canada.
Launcester.
I was like,
I was a server in Launceston
for like two years
at like a really nice restaurant.
So you're the most qualified.
Definitely.
Where was this information yesterday?
Wait,
you're going to need to train us.
I can train you guys for sure.
Do you do the three plates?
I'm mad with three plates.
Sometimes I'll walk out with a,
sometimes Lucy had asked me
because sometimes I'll walk out to the lounge room
just to go on the couch
and I'll have both meals in the left hand
and I'll be texting on the right.
And I'll put them down with a left still texting.
Oh my gosh. So your forearms doing a lot of the work?
Yeah.
The pinky.
See the pinky?
That holds.
Angus and all about it.
Oh, my.
I could probably do about ten stubbies, I can boom.
You put up the most fight and you're the one who's going to bring it home.
I was wondering the next conversation.
No, I'm not fast.
I have to be first, maybe.
That's going to be the next question.
What order are we doing the relay?
I think you need to bring it home, Ro Ro.
Or do you get us off to such a good start?
I'll fall over.
If I'm last, I know it I'll fall over.
As long as you fall over the finish line, it's fine.
Tomorrow.
We'll work that out.
Tomorrow we'll get
six plates, Babs.
I can't do six plates.
At one point, at one point in Canada,
one of the boys, the other servers,
taught me how to do three plates in one hand.
That's what I want to see tomorrow.
Four, actually is four.
I want to see it too.
It doesn't help us with the waiter race
because I'm pretty sure it's like a tray of rosés.
Depends on the meals.
All skills, I'm sure we'll come in handy.
All right, we'll do that tomorrow.
Bye, guys.
Bye-bye.
That was the Jess and Rowan podcast.
Maca's Bistro.
Bernice Angus Range is here.
Chef's Kiss.
