Try the big Brecky range with honey saracha today. Only at Maccas. Here we go. Welcome to the Jess and Ron podcast. Hello everyone. Welcome to the podcast. Thank you for tuning in. Thank you for hitting follow.

Thank you for hitting five stars. Thank you for supporting us. Really appreciate it. Absolutely. It's a hell of a Friday show. Yeah, man. A lot of fun. Hope you guys are entering Live the Dream as well.

We really want to see one of our listeners. Oh my God. Because yes, this might be shocking news, too. you, but it is a countrywide thing. Yeah. But our numbers for regional New South Wales are eclipsing some of the big capital cities. Like our numbers for Newcastle.

Our numbers for Newcastle, but regionally. Oh yes. As an entity, you know what I'm saying? The whole thing is just over. The whole thing. So we have got more names in the pool per capita. They're like Brisbane, bro. Brisbane.

So keep doing what you're doing. You don't put the code words in the podcast, do you? No, why would you? because it's a 15-minute expiry. But yeah, yeah, of course. Keep enjoying that. Yeah.

A lot of winnings. A lot of winnings. I'd like to put a little caveat on a lot of winnings, not when it comes to Alpha Bucks. Oh my God, we're losing so many. We are losing, but we're getting worse. There was a week. We got two nines, and that was so exciting.

You've got a 9.9. We made a whole thing about redemption round. Since then. Awful. Today, you'll hear it. The guy got five, and then upon review four, upon review three. upon review two.

And he got off the phone so quickly. He's like, yep, no, no worries her. He's embarrassed. You are talking to these people. We're inundated every time. What's going on? Are you picking that? Like, what are you, is it your vibe?

No, I don't think so. Do you ask, like, are you half decent at the game? No, I don't say, are you dumb? No, no. You say that if it helps. I said half decent. I didn't say dumb. But are you intelligent?

Can you read? Are people? Like anything else, mate? Are people? What the hell? Are people coming in conference? Or is everyone a little lackluster to begin? Yeah, usually.

Like, people are passionate because they, like, get mad when I don't pick them. So, like, they, you know, they're keen to play. Like, they want to play. They're confident. Because how often do we hear, like, at events and stuff? I'd be so good at Alpah. Oh, the time, man. We'll call and do well.

Yeah, I don't know. I know it's different. When you get on with us, it's different. Yeah. It's one thing to talk to Babs. It's another day come live on the radio. And then I'm playing the open. I pump straight into you and go, hello.

It caught you off guard. But I don't understand it because it's not like the questions that I make for Alpha Bucks, they start to get, not repetitive, but they show up like in different forms. So why wouldn't you, you know. So you're making them too hard. Well, no, because they're not. Because that's why we're saying. The whole reason, I swear Ron, 10 years ago, we started quizzing ourselves prior to going to air

was just to get a temperature check. How difficult are these? And there are very rare times I go, oh Babs, that's important. I can say that I reckon every morning Jess gets 10 out of 10 within the 30 seconds twice. Every day. Thank you. Every day. Just in case you're like, oh, they're too hard.

Jess gets them. I've actually stopped. I've actually stopped testing. Have you noticed? I've stopped answering. No. No, no. No, no.

Oh, I've done. You're doing it. You're doing busy over there. But I've stopped even trying because Jess just says them so fast and so quickly. And it's not because I'm the smartest woman alive. I am. It's because, as Bab said, of six. seen them before.

So the people who tell us, I play every day, then don't tell me you don't know what a verb is. Well, I was going to say that you're just, that they are answerable answers. They are answerable answers. I understand. In the moment, thinking of a comedy film, I get it. That can be tricky.

But she's not looking at the sheet either. Like, shy guy's quizzing. I have an idea. Bring me up the alpha box opener and Jess can play. We'll do it right now. We'll do it right now. You all to ask the question. Or I could ask the questions.

No, I'll ask the questions. Yeah, I'll ask it. Oh, no, you are, you do the questions. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You haven't seen this sheet yet. But again, Shagai, it's not fair, is it? Because this is the podcast, I know it's not live. It's not the game environment.

Yeah, it's still 30 seconds. True, very true. Well, this is that I mean I have to remake a sheet now. Just one. Yeah, you're going to burn a sheet. Don't we give them all this. Well, these are the backup ones for the nine out of tens that we're not getting. Oh, we're never going to get to the redemption round.

All right. This will play a pulse. Is that going to go to the network? No, don't do that one. I did the 7 o'clock one. Oh, the 7 o'clock one? Oh, it's different. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

No pulse. There is it? Give me that one. Ah, no pulse, yeah, I thought it was problem. Okay, so we're going to play now. We're just going to play as is. Yep. Sweet.

Jess and Rowans, 10K alpha bucks on here. All right. In the hot seat, Jess Hachione. Oh, we don't usually do full names, but I love it. Thanks for the formality. Some government names. What do you start writing government names in the box? What are you going to spend the $10,000 on?

I am going to book business class flights to Italy. Ah, good one. Actually, 10 grand, probably I'll book myself. I don't think it's getting my whole family there, but stuff them. All right. Well, your letter today is what, shy guy? B. B.

All right, copy that. All right, ready? Yep. First question. Sorry, the time starts off the first question. Thank you. A sea creature. Bass.

A beauty brand. Bobby Brown. An international city. Barcelona. A pantry item. Bread. A musical. Pass.

A boy's name. Brendan. A currency. Bart. A verb. Bouncing. A famous Australian. Ben from Ben Lehman Bell.

A phone out. Bumble. And a musical. Musical. Oh. That was a nine, so we would have done the redemption round. We would have and then I would have gone again. Billy Elliot.

Beauty and the Beast. Oh, Book of Me. Mormon. I don't have to give you... By the way, Liam's really famous. He has a million followers. Ben is not. Oh, Ben is not.

Sorry. Okay, he's giving me an eight. That's how you play. There you go. Very good. That's a nine. And I'm ashamed about musical. We see Billy Elliott a lot.

Anyway, all right. Let's just try again next week. Bye, guys. Welcome, Welcome to Jets and Rowan. In 2026. Something new for breakfast.

Do you know Jess? I've got two balls. Get bread and have gone to go and write. You'll get to know Roeer. What am I a piece of meat? It's covered in ink. It's going to be good. It's going to be fun.

It's going to be all right. Anything could happen. Most of it probably will. That's squawking fatty. And Rowan. Ah, you like what I did that? This is Jess and Rowan. Oh, yes.

Friday is here and is among us. She's feeling good. I feel fantastic. Did you go to gym this morning? Nope. That's been a five-day lazy streak. Lazy streak. Was Loo chair sleeping note?

Well, I had to sleep in her room. Okay. So, yeah, she slept because she kept rolling over being like, where's mum? And then we'd, like, grab a handful of my extensions. I'm like, right here, sweet art. I'm not moving. Relax.

But have you ever cuddled with a squish mellow, Rowan? No, but I've held one. They would be cuddly. Bro, so we went to the show and she scooped up some duckies with the little net game. Oh, yeah. She won herself a squish mellow. Really? So that's what I was cuddling with all night.

What is it? Like a little blue. It's not little. It's quite big. It's like the length of my torso. Yeah, she scooped the winning duckies. Nice. Clever girl.

And she, you know, scored like 45 or whatever. So we got to pick one. I went, we'll pick the biggest in the category. Like torso length, strawberry looking thing. There's little ones. There's little ones. She got a biggie. Nice.

So I was cuddling with the squishmellow. I must say, I enjoyed an evening with a squishmellow. Get your husband and scrub around the gym, give him some more pasta. Well, this is the thing. Angus is getting a little too angular. He's getting a little too chiseled. Yeah, okay. He's working a little too hard.

He's not squishy. Wasn't he trying to train for one of those hectic high rocks things? That's over. For three minutes, mate. Yeah, that's not happened, is it? I was so concerned when he came home. He said Lex and I have signed up for high rocks. Signed up was them having a conversation about it.

A chat, yeah. And he went off chocolate. Oh, yeah, right. He loved chocolate. And then, that was January. Feb one, I saw him cranking off a little square of. He's fruit and nut. I went, hey, babe, because I'm a supportive.

I said, hey, hey, was it the fruit and nut? Like, I'm trying to help you. Meet his goals. He goes, yeah. I'm over it. I went, fantastic. Getting a little too chiseled. Yeah.

Little, not squidgy enough. He doesn't have time to do high rocks, man. He doesn't have time to do. Have you seen the exercises they have to do? You reckon a guy with a double back surgery should be doing those? Oh, they spot ball pushes? Oh, give me a break. Give me a brake.

The sled situation? The sled is another question. So, yes, he was working very hard towards that. He's getting the results aesthetically. For a month. But I want to cuddle with a squish mellow. Yeah. Maybe he could strap that under his gut and then just like, you can...

It'd be nice. But he doesn't like to be chut-touched at night anyway. I don't like that. He builds a wall around himself out of pillows. No, he does. Out of an evening, Rowan. That's not love. The reason we have...

We have eight, eight pillows on our bed. That's not me, stereotypical chick. thing. That's him needing fort materials, and he builds like a dam between us. I don't like to be touched. What does Jemay call it in the, in some heights high? I don't know. I don't know well enough. What a pillow fort was on. Yeah, she had to stay in the same bed as one of her friends.

She's like, I'm putting up the lesbian guard. I can't remember. Is that what it was? Something like that. I think bad. The lesbian barrier or something. Okay, well, I'm putting out lesbian barriers. My heterosexual husband is building a lesbian guard against me. Yeah, I get it.

I get it. So now I think I'm sleeping with a squish mellow every night. So face in the other way and pillows on his back? A pillow between the knees to align the hip with the knee. A pillow behind the back, pillow at the front. And then the length of the king's size bed to make sure. It could just be for his support of his back. That's what he's saying.

But it's not. It's the great ball of China to keep... I'm the Mongolian trying to attack mainland China. And that's Angus. And that's Angus Carnes. You're Genghis Card. Jemay called it the Lesbian Prevention Guard. The LPG.

From Jemay Private School Girl. Oh, that's... That's a bit off. That's what my husband is... The Swedish Guard is... Like, Helen, put out the lesbian prevention guard. LP.J. What's the situation for you and your beautiful girlfriend at night?

Are you hugging? Are you cuddling? Do you have a fistful of boob or something? Wow. Lucy would go, get off me. Um, we, because I go to bed much earlier. Oh, okay. I was just like, would come and give me a cut. So you pass out?

She just gets into bed whenever she wants. And then I get up and she's passed out. Oh, okay. Yeah. How do you go staying on your side of the bed though when she's not in? Like you don't find it. I'm a dona taker. Oh, you're a dona taker.

Or it's a sheet at the moment because that's so hot, man. Oh, aircon update. Got an aircon update. They want to do ducted. And I was like, well, they're definitely kicking us out. Ducted is the one into the roof, not the split system. No, no, no. Well, they wanted a quote for both, but this guy came to check it out and he was like, yeah, they want us to mostly do ducted.

Okay, that's the landlord. Absolutely going. They're absolutely moving in. What do I want? No way, are they doing ducted? Oh, no. It's the best kind of aircon though. I know.

We'll not get it for a little bit. Yeah. Oh, no, didn't you just got into this place and got settled? Yeah, that's fine, though. It actually is good because the house is a bit of a funny one. It would be great with air con. Absolutely. Anything.

Anything. Well, my renno should be done in the next 12 to 18 months, if you can hold it out till then. You can have the studio apartment in my place. Oh, you'll have one of the great aircons. I think our aircon's getting installed today, Angus is to go. Ducted? Ducted. What is this?

You're not doing fits its name, man. Please, I'll work hard. Big day to day. It goes, obviously a Friday, but we're giving away Cooper of the week. You get a big, fat, awesome, U.E, epic boom. That's prizing winning. Absolutely. And just after 7 o'clock, we give you your first live-the-dream code word.

And then the same one, and then a new one again at 8.30. Two code words in our show alone. Oh, my God. Double the winning. Oh, we're just more. Double us winning. Yes. Up next, though, Rowan.

Something's going on in my life. I'm being trolled by technology. Oh, good one. A vocabulary app. Talk about it next. Jess and Rowan. This is Jess and Rowan. Right now, Roe.

I'm being trolled by an app. All right, okay. I know I come on to the big stick often and talk about my disdain for the technology take. and how we're all very much reliant on it now. It freaks me out a little bit. I think my apps are listening and they're trolling me. Definitely listening.

I downloaded an app just not even a week ago called vocabulary. Okay. Sorry, you have a really good vocab. I don't know why you need an app for it. Thank you so much. Could always be better. Never heard some words coming out of your mouth. Thank you.

You Google them. They're real words. Thank you so much. I get sure I got a fact check me every time. Fair. And amazingly, 99% of the time I've used it in the right context, very proud of my mother encouraging a love of reading. But could always be better. Sure.

Sorry, please go on. And this recommendation came from one of my book club girlfriends, Tyler. Also fantastic vocab. And she goes, this app is amazing. Gives you a daily word of the day. Oh, I'd like that. Pops up on your little widget. I'd like that.

Gives you the word, gives you the description, gives you pronunciation. And if you pay for the premium, you get it in a sentence, really bed it in. Must you have to pay for it to give it to you in a sentence. Great question. I'm doing the free version, shy guy, but TC, TC's awake. Like a 10 buck a month type of art. Seems like a lot for a sentence. Hey, man, words are all we have.

In this case, it's professional development. Okay, fair enough. I could claim it. I could claim it. Because I'm a tired-ass, didn't want to pay for premium. I could claim it. Do the yearly one. Just smack it out, 30% off for the full year of wicked sentences.

Because I encourage Babs also loves, has a love of words. And she went, oh, okay, should I do premium? Should I do intermediate? I went, I don't know, I'm doing the free one. So, Babs, you'll get on it as well, please, and we'll claim it together. But we, now I have a little group. Oh, you don't have to. We get a little.

No, she nodded and smiled and look at it. Shy guy gave her the look like you can speak. You could contribute. You can say no. My fellow wordsmith, Babs. But now I'm in a little group with my friends who are on the vocab app, and we're sharing our word of the day, because we're all getting different ones. It's not like Friday the 6th of March, everyone gets Caddy Wompest.

TC got Caddywompus. That's not a word. Caddywompus is a word. Now you are getting trials. And Jess used it at the end of the show on Monday or Tuesday. That's right, shy, guys. So just this morning, Rowan, you'll like this. T.C.

She's awake early. She's awake early. puts in our chat. Oh, my God, Jess. The word of the day on my app describes you and Rowan's show. Better be good, huh. Divigation. Divigation. She just sent me a screenshot so I can't do the pronunciation.

Wandering off from the main path or topic. We did that twice this break. Literally. This is Jess and Rowan. For Rowan, we divergated so hard earlier. We didn't even get to the point I was trying to make. About my new app trolling me, my vocabulary app, where I learned the word divigation, which means wandering off from the main path or topic, something you and I are guilty of a lot.

But I'm in a group, my friends, T.C. and Carly, they've all got the app. And we send each other the interesting words that we've gotten. thinking you might find this interesting too. What did you get today? Past couple of days, Carly and T.C. have sent me words like smell fungus. That's a person who complains excessively. Carly got Jouska,

which is the mental habit of rehearsing or imagining conversations that never actually occur. You know, you have a fight with your boss and then you go home and in the shower, you might have a Jouska, where you think of what you should have said. I know there's a word for that. Isn't that a great word?

Yeah, that's cool. The reason I think the app is true, controlling me is because they get these amazing words. The past three days, this is what I've gotten. Sexual wellness. Firstly, not a word, phrase. It's obviously health and wellbeing, the state of being healthy in relation to sexual activity in relationships.

Yesterday, I got BDSM, also not a word, an acronym, stands for bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism. Practices based on consensual power exchange. This morning, Rowan, my word. Remember, the girls are getting divagation, Jowska, catty wampas. I got bondage. That's so funny. I just down there.

I just downloaded when to hear what my first word was. What's your first word? I can play it out loud. Please do the pronunciation. Cuckoldry. Which means what? You know what I, you know, we went wrong. You know, we went wrong.

Wait, for anyone who doesn't know, do you have the definition for those playing at home? Deriving sexual pleasure from seeing others, seeing one's partner engage with others. Rowan, what's going on? What have I... Because I've clicked whatever you've clicked that the girls did not click. You know what it was? What?

It was the interests part. You must have clicked sexual. I don't remember there being a category sexual. I would have... That's the app. I would have clicked it if I'd seen it, but I don't recall it. You must have clicked it. I can't believe that's your first one.

Did you pay for premium? Well, it's on a free trial. Oh, seven-day free trial. Oh, see, this is a... isn't too bad. Equanimous. They're getting different words. Oh, have you got multiple?

Oh, you can't learn too many a day, dull. None of them will stick. What's this one? Ineffable. Ineffable. Ineffable. Babs, did you click the category,

sexual? No, I did not. So you haven't learned what BDSM is. No, what's that? Well, it's kind of like, it's kind of like somebody Google in your own time. This is Jess and Rowan.

So you might remember in the winter games, the curling drama. If you don't, Canada, was playing Sweden, and none of us had heard of this rule that you couldn't touch the rock with your hand. I feel like it's implied, though, when you got a stick and the rock's got a handle, I feel like it's implied that's the only place you can be messing with the rock. So there's some real drama in Curly.

I'll play the audio just so you can hear it. Apparently, it's okay touching the rock after the hog line. I don't know. Or touching the rock. Who's doing it? I haven't done it once. You can... You haven't done it once?

I haven't done it once. Okay. I'll show you a video. after the game. So there's so many great things. I love it so much. So many great things in the Winter Games. And then that's kind of what everyone grabbed onto.

I can't remember one other thing. And it was a week ago. And Ozzie's won gold. Like, things went well. It was our most successful Winter Games and no disrespect to those amazing athletes who competed and who won. But that audio from the American going, who's doing that? Who's touching the rock?

I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. Yes, you are. All I can remember now is just the flick of his little finger as he approaches the rock, just like this. It's like he thought he was competing in the 1800s where they didn't have 5,000 cameras angled right on his fingers. But we got all into curling.

We just were like, what's going on? How do you curl? What's this? There's only 10 people in the world who make the curling stones. Yeah, it is quite elusive. It is a real master thing. I love the idea there's an 8-year-old out there being like, I want to be a champion curler.

I have drama, more drama, before the Paralympics start. No. Two of the rocks, the curling stones, have been stolen ahead of the competition. Now, two might not sound like a lot, but there's only 10 people making them and takes months to make one. Absolutely. Where have they gone? And pardon me, I can't imagine that, but correct me if I'm wrong, are our Paralympians using the same rocks that the able-bodied athletes were using? Have to be the same rocks.

It's the same rock. There's a certain amount in the world. And there's a certain amount that the Olympic Committee. have. They're about $1,200 each. God damn. Only $1,200 for such a special. It says a full set is about $15,000. Oh, that makes more sense. You need a full set. Because you're not the only team playing.

You get the full rock, the big stone, then you make the little stones out of the big zones. Absolutely. It feels like very Avengers, like Marvel, like. Now, hang on a minute. Fanos vibes. Straight away, Rowan. I'm pointing the finger at one person and one person alone. Who we point in at?

The yellow. The American Yeller who got accused. Because he wants to grab the stone. Oh, yeah. Rubby's fingerprints off it. Wow, I don't even think of that. Because the only evidence we now have besides all the camera footage is doing the fingerprint with the police. They are 42 pound granite rocks, which is about 20 kilos.

That's two of them. I could kettlebell that. Yeah, we could do like a carry down the hall with them. We run up. Farmers carry. Farmers carry, thank you. Thank you. The authorities are currently investigating the theft.

So it's not like, oh, they've misplaced a couple of stones. Someone's put them in their Olympic bag, duffel bag, trotted out of there with their gold medal. Do you reckon A, gold medalists aren't stealing the rock. It's the losers who stole the rock. A, one of the people took them. Or do you think B, one of the other competitors was like, we're going to get in there and take these stones a little bit of a how are you? Someone who didn't meddle. Do we know who won out of Sweden and America in that yelling?

Oh, Canada. Sorry, it was a Canada. It was Canada. The Canadians. And they're so nice. It's so crazy. That's why I'm so discombobulated. He wasn't American.

He was Canadian. And the men's team cheated. And so did the women. So it must have been game plan. The Canadians. I reckon. They're really ruining the national rep. They've been stolen as a little keepsake for all they're cheating.

For all the dramas. I thought Canadians were nice. They must have just been asked. You spent a bit of time there. I thought you met all nice ones. Met a lot of great, really nice Canadians. You didn't meet the two buggers. Well, the first.

French Canadians weren't so nice. Maybe they're French Canadian. Maybe. I stand by that. That's a hill I'll dial. This is Jess and Rowan. Jess and Rowan's 10K Alfa Bucks on hit. I can even say Fridays would be our biggest winning day.

We have the Alphabucks twice. We have Cooker at the week. We are now also giving you two code words through the day to help you live the dream. And Paul is looking for a new car with Alpha Bucks right now, aren't you, Paul? Oh, I'd love one if I could. What's wrong with what you've got or if you've got nothing? Oh, I bought a new car a couple of weeks ago, and on the way home from work, I blew a head gasket, so I was stuck on the side of the highway.

Shut. No, why? Still there? Yeah, no, I've got it home now. It was a Friday afternoon, too, so it was a perfect start for a weekend. Oh, my God. All right, Paul. We're going to hook you up with our friends at Subaru.

Maybe you'd like to have a look at a Suzuki, because those cars start with S. And that is what you're going to play with this morning, all right? Yep. All right. Rock. Your time will start after the first question. Starting with the letter S, we need you to name. A drink. A sprite.

A shoe brand. Uh, uh, sketches. A band. Um, oh, pass. A stationary item. Uh, pass. An athlete. Sherbo?

A dog breed. Um, sharp A. An adjective. Swim. A. board game. Scrabble. A net country.

Scandinavia. It would have been right. No, I wouldn't. Scandinavia's a group of countries. Sorry, I wasn't it. Board game. What did you say? Scrabble.

Scrabble. So not snakes and ladders. We thought you may say snakes and ladders. That's a great board game. No one in the history of Alpha Box has ever said snakes and letters for board game. Van could add Simple Plan. Could add 741. Safety new item.

Stapler. Athlete. You say Sherbo. Shervie? Yep. Are we got to accept that? What do you reckon, shy guys? No way.

We can't accept names. No one knows his first name. Matt. Sorry, no one. You just have, I was completely forgot. He's a colleague.

I would have, you're right, Chambosette. Everyone knows you because he, of that, of the skin tight lycra. Paul, I would have paid Chevro,

but Rowan has said, unfortunately, we need full name. Yeah, that's a dangerous precedent and I get it. Four. Four for you, sir. Oh, that's not a bad effort.

That's all right, man. You also, you got adjective wrong. I'm sure people learn. I always get them mixed up. Yeah, it's right. You said a verb. It's okay.

Me too, mate. I'm not good with them. Sacks hair. Because they're sexy. Sacks hair. Anyway, Paul, you were a delight. Sorry, we can't buy you a new car. Thank you, Paul.

Sorry. Paul needs to stick around for the live the dream code word. Oh, that's coming out very soon. Because of the next 50 minutes. Oh, yeah, get him a new car. Part of that prize, baby. I bought some new pans. We saw it out yesterday and I have a pan update.

Next. Just a Ryle with you for hit breakfast. This is Jess and Rowan. The winner of the week, 04-8-8-1069. I might actually need your help here. So have your phones ready. Okay.

I reckon you'll be able to answer all of my questions. But in case there's gaps in my knowledge? I also hate a hack. I think it's just, I have a cleaning hack. No, you're just cleaning it properly. You know? Oh, so I love a hack. The amount of hacks I picked up off tiki-talkie.

It's a travel hack. No, no. Yeah, you know, I travel hack. I'll let roll your stuff. No, you're just packing properly. Like, you're packing well. See what I'm saying? But if you didn't know it, it's a hack.

What are you hacking? There's no mainframe in the bag, mate. Actually, I've even graduated from the roll, Travel Cube. That's a hack. No, that's a clever way to pack your items. Which is just another word for hack. Let's not get caught up in semantics. Don't phrase it as a hack, guys.

He doesn't like the word hack. Famously don't like the word hack. Okay, it's on the record. So I bought some new pans because we just had some bad pans that, you know, they'd like scratch Teflon ones, all that stuff getting in the, uh... You've seen that docker with the carcinogens. You know, for a while, you'll probably vomit. Lucy and I, my partner, this and I, bought a pan from an op-shop once.

Second-hand pan. Yeah, second-hand pan, scan pan. A second-hand scan pan pan. Second-hand pan from scan pan. Man? Some shy guy. Second-hand scan-pan pan pan. Man?

Second-hand scan-pan pan pan. Man? Man. I hate that. I hate that, Ryan. Don't issue my agenda, first off. I don't like... Nice.

I don't like... I don't like poo-pooing, reduce, reuse, recycle. I think that's fantastic. But pan? It was all right. It was a grittal little thing. My problem yesterday was why is there so many different types of pans? Like, can't we just have one pan that we cook on?

It's a fantastic pan. Because you're doing steaks and you're like, I just need a steak pan. But then you got... Little overwhelmed. Little overwhelmed. And I just had to call my mummy. Say, my mama. But see, that does so much.

for mum's self-esteem. He still needs me. Loves it, loves it. It's like my mum likes it when I say, how long do I de-frosted chicken for? Crank that bad boy out on the gas last night. Bunk, was ready, did the water test that it beat it around. See, that's a hack. There's nothing. Knowing your pan is ready for oil

or food with the water splash and it bubbles, it kind of beads, hack. Well, that was in the manual, so that's just following instructions. Is that I'm saying? Sorry. Stop. It says it, isn't it? I'll show you the user guide. Who reads the manual for a pan?

My mother was like, make sure you read the stainless steel instruction pan. Man. To be fair. Sorry, I should be gender. Cleaning those things, you've got to be conscientious. That's what I wanted to talk to you about. Because we made these wicked. Lucy made these, like, kind of banana pancakes.

I was like, no meant to have these, but block me down for two of them. I thought it was a steak pan. I thought your scam pan was for steak man. Well, I kind of want to do any kind of pan in a steak pan man. So I went, do be some pancakes, man. It's probably a good size. Pan, cake. Wouldn't mind a cake.

We're doing it in a scampan pan, pan. You're not doing that in a sauce pan, are you? You could probably do it in a sauce sauce pan? It's not a Dutch oven cake, all right? You're not lay crusaying a pancake. You're not lay crusading a pancake. What are we animals? So we do it, I just realized we just putting some butter in it's all good, but we didn't

do any little oil with the butter. So the butter's burning. Now the pan has all those streaks and stuff on it. Oh, no. Now I look like some amateur. Well, you are. an amateur. First time I've ever cooked with stainless steel.

I guess I said Lucy like, hey, we're learning. She's there like, I've never cooked on stainless steel. And I'm texting mum photos like, what have I done? What's the point of having read the manual? If then you just burn the pan.

That's how I felt. I felt stupid because I read about the cleaning and how to not make it ruin. Not scratch it. Did you read about Gestalt? What the hell is Gestalt? Gistalt is where you don't use soap. In fact, you don't even use water.

You just wipe out your pants. So that way... With what? A paper towel Maybe a chucks No, once it's cool Then don't burn your fingers Yeah, but then it's cool

Then it's stuck on, it's like stuck Okay, there's a sweet spot there You just sort of wipe it out So that way you're not putting soap on there Scratching the surface And you're actually imbibing History of flavour Kind of what I want, man

Yeah, exactly Gachalt Goste I'm doing words of the day in German now Nain Someone slow me down You're my pan furor I'm upset though

I don't care for that. Drop that. You're my like pan lea. Have you ruined the pan, though? No, I don't think so. Okay, can it be salvaged? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We need a hack.

04-8-8-106-9. We need some help cleaning it. There's no hacks here. Where do you stand being a dumb boy on? What, what, what? Let it soak. Well, that was also what it said. It was not in the manual, let it soak.

That's the lazy boy version of it. And then you have to turn the burner on and let it simmer out so then it gets it off it. Yes. So soak it, but you've got to like... Warm it up again. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. This pan is taking over your life.

I was like, surely it's not this hard. Like, surely this isn't what people do it every time. Also on a pancake. To ruin a pan on a pancake. It was the butter. The pancake was delicious, but it was just... Crispy. There's a bit too much going on at your house.

You get any texts about it or what? This is nothing. No, no, I've got... people commenting about how sexy we are. Okay, good. This is Jess and Rowan. What was the ick that made you leave them? Was there an ick so icky, you dumped them?

And it's funny, we did those songs, and they all happened to be British, because Harry Stiles has released new music. This story, this study comes out of the British psychological society. What's going on with this half-hour show? Very British. Very British. If I was better at accents, I'd try and do the whole thing in a British accent.

But that might be a bit icky. Maybe. And I don't want people to turn off us. New research done out of the British Psychological Society defines the ick. I think we all know, but just in case this is the first time you're hearing it. A feeling of disgust, triggered by a specific, often extremely trivial or niche behavior from a romantic partner. recent survey found that 42% of relationships, not married, just dating, broke things off with a partner after getting the ick, a further 26% ending the relationship immediately. Oh, immediately.

So the 42% is they went, I don't love that they set the volume on their car speaker radio at an odd number. I'll let it slide. That's crazy. Three weeks goes by. They go, I can't handle it. Yeah, I'm done. I break up with you, but 26% go, oh, you're done immediately. Let me out of the car.

Really? I never talk again. And that is one of the icks that people have shared online. Didn't like the odd number setting on the car radio volume. If someone leaves you for that, I think, you've touched a bullet. Well. Because no one likes it, but you don't leave someone. The thing with an ick, isn't it?

It's just the cherry on top of a seemingly rotten fruit salad. It all snowballs after that. Absolutely. Someone else has said, my partner was on the. on their phone during a movie that I was really excited to show them. So it was clearly her favorite movie, but the boyfriend picked up his phone. She goes, I got the ick. Broke up with him a little while later.

Just not into him anymore because he's like, I must not mean a lot. If I'm excited to show you something, you need to be excited about it. Someone else, I think this is from a bloke talking about the misso. She didn't wear a bra. Got the ick. He would dump my ass. I would not get along with that fella. This one I love.

I once dumped a guy because I got the ick hard. We were walking through a park that had those telescope situations. You know, you just put your eyes. It's almost like a binoculars. It's fun. A bit of fun. I was like, have a look. And he went, nah.

Refused to look through the free public telescope. So he got an ick because he said no. She got the ick because he said no. Where's your sense of adventure and curiosity? You can say no to things. Nope. She dumped him. Wow.

I don't know if that was the immediate dumping or if that was just, I don't like that. You don't like when... I don't like when you say no when I tell you to do things. It's probably like... Oh. I think he's dodged a bullet.

Okay, you're really defending the ickies. See, I'm going to defend the ickers because if you couldn't find fault with someone that easily, they're clearly not your person. Well, it's not your person. But that's what we're looking for here. 13, 1060.

Was there a tiny little niche ick that you went... There'll be some crazy ones. I'm not putting up with that. Yeah, I'd be some crazy ones. My, I've never been too, I'm so grateful they're with me. You know what I'm saying? Oh, look past a lot, says Rowan.

You don't want to look at the telescope? Fine. Yeah. I think if it's like someone's too available, I would get the ick. Okay. That's basically it, though. I once got the ick because a guy I was seeing said the wrong name. Name.

During. Well, that's. That was a bit of an ick, Rowan. That's just like a, ugh. Shout it out. I love you, Kate. Are you joking? No, no. I love you, Kate.

I love you, Kate. You should look like a Kate. I don't look like a Kate. And then, because of me, I'm curious person. Who's Kate? Ex-girlfriend's name. Did you throw him off? No, because, you know, I'm not confrontational, so we...

Kept going. Well, then I was like, I'll follow that up in a minute. That's all you can think about. In a minute. It's all you can think about. I love you, Kate. So that was my ick. Not particularly trivial.

You have some great stories like that. Kate. I wonder who Kate is. We've had a... It was his ex. That makes it even worse. I wonder if she looked like you. Faddax, 04-8-8-1069.

I don't know who they didn't leave their name, but I'm assuming it's a woman. He whipped out a Velcro wallet to pay at the movies. I texted my friend of all standing out the front and I said, well, this is done and we never saw him again. Yeah, that's got to go. That's exactly what we want. Is there anything less sexy than and they pull out their little spendings card?

They are back. Babs are saying on the little note, the Velcar walls are back in. And actually... You're Mike! Actually. Velcro wallets are back in. Oh, thank you.

Thanks, Babs. And if you have them on a chain, even cooler. No, they're not. No, they are. What year is it? I don't know if I've seen them on a chain. Oh, you're not hanging out the cool places I'm hanging out then, clearly. I'm in the underground.

That's an egg. I'm not wearing them. 131060. 131060. There you are. What's that tiny ick? That made you go, nah. That's not for me.

Whether you dumped them immediately or it just gave you the hebie jeepie-geys. This is Jess and Rowan. So let's quickly get through these. That people have been kind enough to text us. 048-18-1069. We were talking about new research out of the BPS, obviously the British Psychological Society. That found 42% of people in relationships,

not married, just dating, broke things off with a partner after getting the ick, with a further 26% ending the relationship immediately. Got you. Ange text us and said, I got the ick from a man I was in a situation ship with. Because he asked me to pay his rent. I blocked him.

Get a job, babe. Yuck, says H. That's a big deal breaker. That's fantastic. It's a big deal breaker. And this one. You pay my rent. Situation shit.

I love. Yuck. Yuck is fantastic. This one, we don't have a name. So please send us your name because you are in with a chance at that U.E. Boom cooker of the week. I once dumped a guy because he didn't wash himself properly. So he always had poop stains on his tail.

And when I addressed it, so she's tried to address it, he told me, I can't, it's hard, I'm hairy down there. I don't know. I don't know. I don't even know. I'm not that hairy, but I mean, you can clean. You can clean. Another one's just come through, Rowan. Oh, man. It's similar to Angels with the yuck. Get a job. The ick I had was, bloke I was saying, no job had to ask for money from his mom so we could go to the movies. Hang on, are we like, are we 14? Listen, this is great icks. These are great icks and I appreciate.

Yeah, these aren't even just like, you're not my person. These are great ics. These are exactly what we were looking for. And they're so honest, like, you can really tell that these people have been through them. Totally. What's your biggest ick about me? Is there a big about me, do you reckon? Oh, we have time.

Punch to the ads. Mine's your extensions. This is Jess and Rowan. Jess and Rowan's 10K alpha bucks on hit. Yeah, twice the morning. do alpha bucks for $10,000, one at seven and one at eight for you today. Nathan, what do you want to buy with your $10,000? I'm going to upgrade the front of the house of landscaping and do a bit of painting and stuff.

Gorgeous. You're a tradie. I'm not really, but I'll have a crack anyway. Yeah. Well, with 10 grand, he's like, oh, I could stretch it further if I do the work myself. Yeah, well, you could. Don't pay the labour fees. I love this, Nath.

Get a nice little... Handy man. Yeah. Nice little situation in the front. Yard. Jessica's got a thing for handyman at the moment. Bro. They're doing great work at my house.

Totally. And I don't know if I can separate the good work they're doing. Fair enough. How gorgeous they are. Fair enough. Nathan, we're going to Vowel Town for you today, darling. You are going to work with the letter O for, oh my God. I'm so jealous of Nathan's house.

It looks amazing. Okay. Sounds good. Let's do it, Nathan. Your time. We'll start after the first question. Starting with the letter O, need you to name. An appliance?

A pass. An international city? Oklahoma. An occupation. Optometrist? A lunchbox snack. Oreos? An animal.

Winix? A musical. Oklahoma? A flower. A pass. A kid's TV show. Nah. An admirable five, good sir.

Pass mark. That's a pass mark. Oh, well, no, Rowan. He said Oklahoma twice. I did, yes. Oh, that's four. That's four. And actually, what did you say for animal?

Onyx? Yes. Yeah, I think that's kind of like an antelope gazelle thing, yeah? Is that a Pokemon? With the big antlers, curly antlers. An onyx. Okay, well, four then, brother. Good one.

Yeah, I think there's an onyx Pokemon. I was like, do you say a Pokemon? Confirming, we wouldn't accept Pokemon for animals. That's not enough. Oklahoma is also a state in the U.S. Oh, God. So now you're saying three? So, Oklahoma.

So you're paying for musical, but not for Sydney. Okay. All right. So it's still four. Sorry, Nathan, very confusing to you and all of us. We've done a lot of learnings in this 30 seconds. Orchid, Orange Blossom, octanaut as well for kids' TV show. Thank you, Nathan.

Oh, look, he's gone now, but it's Rowan. It's not Onix. It's Oryx. I think he got two. Oh, my God. Break the news? No, I'm not doing it. They're gorgeous creatures.

Look at that. What's an orix? Oh, yeah. Oh, I don't. know that that's an oryx. Oh my God, with the straight up antlers. How are they getting around with those? Majestic creatures, but...

More winning. We're going to do that, 8.30. It went from 5 to 4 to 2. Oh, my gosh. Very quickly. Sorry, Nate. Sorry, brother. Yeah, we can do more winning.

Another Live the Dream, Coburn, 830. Okay. We're all... We don't want to take a beat. You're going to play a bit of Miles Smith. And after we come back, Lucci's got a new toy, Rowan. Great. She's had it for 12 hours.

This is Jess and Rowan. Just three hours of confabulation. Just living our best lives. Guys, I have a vocabulary app and I'm using it till. You are going to get smarter listening to this program because we're going to drop words like confabulation. And also says N, which is a noun. Lock that in for Monday's alpha bucks because no one's got noun recently.

We need to brush up on nouns, adjectives, adverbs and verbs. Amen. Rowan, one of the most boring parts of being a parent is how repetitive things can start getting. Maybe I can't have kids because I just get over things quick. If you have got a short tether or a short attention span, I don't know if being a parent is for you. Because my God, particularly in toddlerhood, stuff gets repetitive. Because granted, their brains are still so plastic and mushy. They're learning.

So, my God, I'm repeating the same things over and over, but she's learning. I give her that. That's fine. My issue with the repetitive is, whoa, whoa, haven't we moved on from this stage? Haven't we already dealt with this challenge? Why are we back here again? Shiger, you'll remember. I reckon it was less than six months ago.

Lucia, my two-year-old daughter, she got a little bike. Now, you would have seen kids tearing around these ones. I've seen the bike. No pedals where they just are basically running, flintstoning it. It's fun. Fun times. So much fun. I think they're called balance bites and they're great developmental step.

Smart. Yep, yep, yep. But she was getting a little too, I want to make this more fun, but I can't get up the speed. Push me, daddy. Push me. She knew I didn't have the stamina in me. Push yourself, mate. So she wanted my husband, you know, two back surgeries.

He's had in his life. Hunched over, basically in a deep bow, pushing her up hills. We were going, this is not good. We strapped the dog to the handlebars one time. That ended in disaster. Can't do that. Whoa. A very kind rice cooker, Sophia, sent me for Lucia's second birthday, the big old bike with the handle.

Unbelievable. It's nice. So we've been using that for a little bit. Yep. But for some reason, my husband's gone, she loves the bike. She's into the scooters, the bike. She loves modes of transport. I'm going to buy her the little bike with the training wheels now.

She does love transport things. She loves transport things. I think it's, she's just. ready for the training wheel bike. No stick, just the little bike with the training wheel. It's quite young still though, isn't that they're not too young? I don't know, man, they make it for two-year-olds.

Oh, do they? Okay, okay, came on. I don't know. Yeah, okay, great. The big box was sitting at the foot of the apartment lobby. And I went, oh my God, and I made the mistake. I went, Lucci, this is for you. She was like, open it. Yeah, now. She didn't know what it giant box, what's it? I went, got to wait for dad, because I know I'm going to have to build this and I don't

have the skills, all the tools. So I had to deal with 45 minutes until Angus came home. Open the box. Open the box. We finally, he comes home. He builds this bike. She's sitting on it, Rowan, doesn't want to pedal. So you know what we've been doing for the past 12 hours?

Pushing her. Like we already were pushing her on that other stupid bike. No, darling, it's your feet. So Angus is there on his hands and knees trying to teach her how to, I understand the movement of pedal. Yeah. Possibly a new sensation. You have to grab her by the ankle.

do it. So that's what he's doing. On his knees, dragging himself along the car, but trying to move her feet with the pedals, she's screaming, losing her mind. At pedaling. At pedaling. She's lazy like her mother. Your daughter, for sure.

So there's Angus, again, hunched over, carpet burn, trying to move. I went, no, no, no. What are we doing? We've already been here once before with a stupid bike. We're here again just six months later. What the hell. Angus just sent me a photo. She woke up this morning, ran to the bike. First thing she wanted to do, push me, daddy. Push me. I loves the bike. Doesn't like the pedaling. Doesn't like the tough love. You have to get rid of the old bike and go, it doesn't go anywhere, Luch, unless you push it. Oh, I like that. Let's go to the park and I'll just stand there. It doesn't go. The only way it moves and she's screaming. I mean, I don't have kids, so I don't know how it was. But you could just go, darling. If you want to move. That's how it moves. And she'll figure it out because she's smart girl. Yes, or put her at the top of a hill.

Well, I don't know about the hill, I don't know about the hill, mate. Nah, that's good parenting advice. Don't do that. Come on, babe. Just push it. Just push it. Push it. Push it.

I'm done with this. And you. This is Jess and Rowan. I might need a little intervention if you don't mind. A little intervention. They don't call me judgy Jess for nothing. They definitely do. And we know what?

Remember on the show maybe a couple of weeks ago, I said to you all I'm doing is using a disabled toilet at work. It's all I'm doing. I haven't been in the men's here since. I was doing a bit of one for one. Now I'm full disabled toilet. Because did you do the whole thing? I've put it out there now.

Can't be caught. Not doing the thing I put out there. I just was like, it's much nicer. And I heard you guys complaining this morning. There was no toilet paper in one of the cubicles and the ladies. Guess what gets replenished all the time? The disabled. It doesn't get replenished.

finished all the time. It's just you're the only one using it. So you're saying I have my own, course. They're disabled. Thank you, shy guy. I couldn't have said that more aptly myself. We can't have someone arrive in reception in a wheelchair that needs to not have them have toilet paper. You know why?

Because Rowans used it all. Because Rowan's used it all. Poopin every day at work. It stinks in there. Like it's bad. Now, that's what I'm doing. I think we probably assume that anyway. I've now extended that out to the world.

You can't. I'm like only using the same old dollars now, guys. Are you asking for hate? But listen, if I need a wee, I'll quickly run in and use the cubicle. But if I've got a derma poo and I'm like at a shopping station, shopping station, shopping centre, I'm probably jumping in the disabled. You cannot. I have been.

What do you do if you get out and it's bad for me? It is bad for you. Oh, this is why you're asking for an intervention? It's like an addicts thing. I'm a little bit shamed of it now. Oh, do you want this? I don't care for the workplace. I want to keep using it, right?

But I. Oh, 4,8,000. six nine, help us. This is the group. Now, entering Rowan's living room, sitting down going, we love you, we care for you, but what you're doing is wrong. If you call up with, I hate you, I'm just going to hang up on you. No, we don't want to hate. We don't want to hate. We don't need hate. However, you got a little bit last time you said this. And then coupled with the fact you just plonk your shopping basket on the convey about, people didn't like that either. Someone said, hang on, between the disabled toilet and plonk and his basket, what's Rowan?

doing. Just doing what I like, unfortunately. Sometimes too much of doing. No. Your mother? No. Absolutely not. Who do you need to hear from to straighten up?

Because I've obviously not worked, shy guys not work. Boss Jace would have no effect on you. Who needs to get in your head? I think he would encourage it. I think he would encourage it. He would want. He'd think it was funny. Well, I just needed opinions.

Will I change it? Who knows? Babs? What about sweet babes? Babs? She won't care. Can you? She cares.

She's a conscientious member of society. I am. Thank you so much. Can you have a go with him, please? Don't do that. I said your dress looked nice this morning. You did. Sorry, but don't do that. How can you go against what Babs has asked?

Well, I lied. She looks awful. I think you need to use the disabled toilet in, let's just say, shopping centre. Yeah? And you come out and there's someone in a wheelchair. Oh, I need the rock bottom moment. Oh, that's what you need. All right, 08-8-1-069.

What do you say in that moment? Oh, sorry. And then I don't think I'd do it. I'd be so embarrassed. So, yeah. Okay, so we need to set this up. Oh, okay. Don't set it up.

What do you mean? Set it up. And an actor? No. Whoa. Why don't need an actor? Well, I thought it was worse to solicit for someone in a wheelchair. There are people in wheelchairs.

I'm so uncomfortable with this conversation. Why? I just. What should I have said? You're not using, you know. We get someone who uses a wheelchair. Okay. Why are you taking jobs off?

Why are you uncomfortable? I'm telling you my struggles and you're uncomfortable. This is why I came to you to help me. To help me. To help me. To help me. To help me. To help me.

He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's so funny. And now you come on and do stuff. I didn't know it was so hard to defend a friend. Oh, I didn't know. I was so hard. What does it sound like?

It sounds like it was so hard. Send him my way, babe. I'm saying to you, I have been doing that for weeks. Didn't have to. Of course I have to. You're my guy. I'm not saying I need a thanks from you. I don't tell you, Benny Awesome.

But you coming on and saying this silliness, very hard to defend Rowan. Don't need to if you don't. If you can't. A bit of fun. Hang on, correct me if I'm wrong. Is the disabled toilet double sometimes as the parent? Sometimes it does. I'd never use a parent room.

What if there's a family waiting to you? What? I'd get out. I'd never use a parent's room. Pat, that's not worse. What are the babies? Poor babies. That's not worse.

Oh, it's all bad. It's all bad. That's what I'm saying, mate. Stop doing it. I'm going to try. I'm going to try my hardest. But they're always so clean because it just... This is Jess and Rowan.

So you were just sharing that you needed an intervention because you're not proud of something. It's not proud. It's like it's becoming a habit that shouldn't be a habit. Using the disabled bathroom at work, but you extended it. it to a shopping centre. You said, I think the only thing that's going to jar me out of this silliness is walking out and realizing I've taken the cubicle while someone in a wheelchair.

I'm not, guys, it's not a proud thing. This is not a proud thing. I don't do it and laugh and send it to my mate. I just, I've just realised I've been doing it all the time. Secondhand guilt. Let's see if it works on you. A lot of people who have done this. Yeah, I think we need to hear it. Walked out and realize someone was waiting who needed to use that bathroom. So they're reformed. I always used to use the disabled toilets at shopping centres. There's one person as is just cleaner than the men's. I've actually been in there once and came out to a disabled older lady waiting.

I felt so guilty. Break my heart. Oh, hang on, but I still do it to this day. He wrote. No. Okay. Well, I was going to say that would, Damo. I said Damo.

I said Damo. That would break. If I saw that, I would think of mine now. I was happy to not saying his name. He knew that when he texted that his name might be read out. Someone has said, I've never felt so much shame using a disabled toilet as I did in a Japanese train station where I took my toddler. Now, was it doubling as the parent? We don't know.

But the toddler has walked over and pressed the emergency button while I was mid-number two. So the door just opens in that case. Of course, because the paramedics will have to run in. Yeah. Someone has said using a disabled toilet is a situational thing. I'm a single mum with two young kids. Sometimes a disabled toilet is my only option. Yeah.

But when alone, it's a no-no. See, I'm alone. I'm not doing it. Yeah, I don't have any right. No, you don't have any right. Much cleaner. I know what is. I know that.

I'm saying that. You're saying it. Any of that working on you? I'll tell you what, the, the Damos did until he said he still does it. He doesn't lose less. He's like sending me a shark is through the phone. It's one of those things. I'm going to stop.

I'm going to stop. You're going to stop. My father-in-law is a big believer in like, there are rules and there are laws. Okay? This is not a law. This is a rule. But, but can we have some common sense? Our boss is standing outside.

He doesn't come over this early. Oh, Jesus. Not Jay. Have you got something to say here, Jay? What do you think? Naker. I know you do. Are you thinking about it?

There's actually been talk in the office of someone defecating on the toilet seat. in the disabled point. On the sixth. January. When did you start? Since January? When you started? Started in January.

I'm telling you right now I'm very conscious of that. I do. No, he's a radio professional. He's just bullshitting. No, but he's also on the executive team and he would have to take things like that seriously. He would be the worst person to be on an executive team. He lies. Lots of gossiping, but that was a hot topic on the day.

I've got some gossip to talk about. Why is there so many all-staff emails? This one writing back. Don't deflect. I actually just got a message from my girlfriend. You using disabled bathrooms is York. Yeah, that makes sense. Oh, she got to dump you.

Oh, sing her. This is Jess and Rowan. Let's wrap up the week now with The Diary. Well, what a week it's been with Jess and Rowan? Babs, can you step in as Math Girl? Are we working radio, babe? Okay, let's rock this bitch. A couple of podcasts gave us the translation

behind the iconic intro song to The Lion King. Look! There's a lion! my god. That lent itself into us having a crack at our best Lion King opening line, which went well. Heart of it! Beautiful. Anamonia. Shy guy hit me with an arsevenia from the heart.

And go! Da, Stavanya! Babs, bring it home! No! What are we doing, guys? You asked. Can you do the last bit again? No.

Couldn't it be better? So, Shagai didn't know what Barada was. I can't be the only one listening who doesn't know what that is. Is Barada bread? Barada. Sorry? Are you joking? I don't know.

I don't know what it is. You don't know what it is. Rob, I can't know what it is. Babs? This is some sort of bit. I don't know. I think it's just Shagga. Is he trying to be funny?

You've never had. Leave the funnies to wade. No, I'm serious. What is Barata? Barata is that ball of cheese that you always get at least an Italian restaurant or even just someone trying to be a little bit Mediterranean. We had it at that pub when we had dinner at lunch. We had a big bowl of barata.

We've had barata many times. It's a ball of cheese. So every time we've ordered barata. You've never known barato? You didn't know it was cheese and bread. Oh, he thought the bread was the barata. No, that's focaccia. You get your fercata and your barata's mixed up.

I'm familiar with feccaca. So what do you think the ball of cheese? Just a ball of cheese. Green, that's what it said on the menu. Fresh mats. Like fenzie Marie. For 28 bucks, just a ball of cheese. A bowl of fresh mats.

Inside the barata, strachatella. You ever heard of stricel? No. You thought probably thought it was white chocolate or something. It was Brie. What's that? Rowan's girlfriend, Lucy, has a nickname for him. I don't think he's too pleased with it.

She started giving me a nickname now and we go to the water and we're swimming together. Oh, no. She goes, you're like my little sugar pump fairy. No. I said you can shut the hell up right now. She said, I said, I'm not your sugar palm fairy. She's like, SPF. It's like, it's like sunscreen.

I said different. It's not the same, babe. Do not ever call me your sugar plum fairy. I need you to take me to the moment. You're swimming. I picture you breaststroking because you don't want to get your hair wet. Your heads up, it looks like a little froggy. Yeah.

And she's looked over and something about that image has conjured up. She's gone on. Sugar plum fairy. And I said, why the hell are you calling me your sugar plum fairy? Oh, that's nice. You're my sugar plum. It's just how you dance in the water. I go, I don't dance in water, babe.

It sounds very graceful. She's like, do a little dance in the water. I said, do not ever call me the sugar plum fairy. We're going to have to go for a swim. I need to see the sugar plum fairy floating. Floating, yeah. There's worse things she could have called you. You're elegant and like a, like,

Like a fairy. A guy spat a giant luggy on the floor in front of Jess. Classic. And she didn't call the cops. He pulls up, stops in the middle of the street, turns his head to the side, hocks up a massive loogie, spits it in front of me. It was, I've clocked this woman. She's not stopping.

Spit on my back. He's hopped to her. He was disgusting. I rock a luge sometimes. You straight. Strike me as someone who would. I reckon you can pick a spitter from a liner. But this bloke, foul, man.

What'd you say? Nothing, because I'm not confrontational. I've come on the radio to bitch about it. I want him arrested. You know, like when you see a litter bug and you write down there, Rego, obviously, weren't safe. And then you dobs them into the EPA and you get a fine sent to them in the mail.

Who was the EPA? What? Yeah, the Environmental Protection Agency? That's a thing. If you spot a car... Oh, literally. And they throw, like, a cup out the window or a can. Cigrap butt.

Yes, if you get the rego down, they track the rego to the residential address, send them a fine. That's a great prank. That's a great prank. Don't abuse that because then we get that privilege taken away. All of a sudden, Bads gets a fine. It's all due off a Bands. In case you missed it, a huge radio show earlier and the week was tipped over the edge after too much tarot reading chat on air. So we thought we'd give it a crack.

So you have given me the guardian of emotion. Really? What does that say? This situation requires emotional maturity and total trust. You're surrounded by those who have only the best intentions, bull, so you can rely on the invite you're given. This card also indicates a generous humanitarian and refined person whom you completely can depend on. Yeah.

Oh, are you the guardian of emotion? I'm a guardian of your emotion, I guess. This could be a reference to these characteristics within yourself. Bad? Sometimes you may feel as though your way is blocked, but often that's just an illusion. You could free yourself from the obstacles that you're so focused on by choosing a different path.

Turn your thoughts away from negativity and instead envision endless other possibilities you might act upon. Okay. That should have gone to shy guy. You need to let yourself breathe a bit. Sure. Okay. Shy guy, here's your card.

Thank you. Look at all the wonderful things you can do when you listen to your divine guidance. Wow. You've balanced so many different priorities and have come out a winner. There will be a lot of recognition and praise headed your way, but don't be shy.

Don't be shy. Don't be shy. Shut us to shower you with gratitude you deserve. Did you pull one for yourself? Oh, inner strength. You have great courage and kindness and you look really hot. Thank you. That's all well and good.

But Rowan may have made a critical error because those cards belong to his girlfriend, Lucy. Here's the conversation that you didn't hear on air from me to the team, alerting them of the bad juju that they have now been cursed with. They weren't dramatic at all. It's bad juju to do it today because it's the blood move. And because they're not your card deck. Apparently not me to win.

You f***ed. Oh, fuck. Why don't you say this now? Anyway, they are... Because what's hers is mine and what's mine is her. That's it from us. See you next week. So long.

Hell well. I don't know the way. Let's not do that. This is Jess and Rowan. Let's give way a big fun prize. Jop. Juss and Rowans. Yeah, this is someone who has added great, great value to the show

through calls, text messages. DM. DMs. If you're following at Jess and Rowan. Yeah, we've got to make sure you're following. But that doesn't apply actually to today's, because it comes from the text line, Roro. Oh, okay.

On 048-8-1069. Just yesterday, we were talking about the big romantic gestures that society, Hollywood especially, has deemed so romantic. Yep. But in actuality, cringe and nightmare. fuel. I remember yes, it's. Okay. Olivia, text us and we can't stop thinking about it. She said, being serenated is not romantic. What do I do? Just sit and smile. Do I bop along for an entire two, three minutes? No, thank you. Olivia, the prize is a U.E. Boom. All for you.

So you don't need no one serenating you. You can do it better on the U.E. Boom. On the U.E. Boom, man. Oh, my God. Hard agree. UE boom. Turn up the volume with the bass blasting party ready. UE epic boom. But we got amazing contributions this week. Thank you very much. Next week though, guys.

The Ui boom's good. Don't get me wrong. Next week. We have got a double pass to see the guru herself. Mel Robbins. You know the let them theory? I think my partner Lucy sends me her clips all the time.

Dude, she is my idol. Podcasts. It's like a yellow. symbol. Yes. She also has a podcast. She's a bestselling author. She's incredibly inspirational. I am obsessed with her. I got my mum onto her. She called me

the other day saying I'm sobbing. Mel Robbins has changed my life and I've only listened to two episodes. She is coming to the country. She is sold out and we have got two tickets to Sydney plus accommodation. Nice. I'm just, I'm so

thrilled to be able to give those to the cookers. Love that. So you get involved next week. Well, get involved next week and obviously more live the dream code words, more alpha bucks, hell yeah. If you are in Newcastle this weekend, tomorrow to be precise, at midday, Rowan and I, we're swirling, we're dipping, we're creaming. Well, we're swirling and cream. We're giving away ice cream. Shy guy will be dipping. Oh, shy guy will be dipping. Sorry, shy guy will be dipping, but we're giving out ice cream to you guys. Absolutely. On the beach. On the beach, at Bar Beach Car Park, we will be there for an hour.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So? Doing ice creams, man. Doing ice creams. I'm going to stick my head right underneath the thing and just pump myself for the cream. I'm going to get real creamy. And then do you want, oh no, shy guy can't dip you up because I might get you closer than nuts. You can't be near the nuts.

We'll just dip something like. Anyway, see you're there, bye. Bye-bye. That was the Jess and Rowan podcast. Macca's Bistro at Bernays Angus Range is here. Mwap. Chef's Kiss.
