Try the big Brecky Range with Honey Siracha today. Only at Maccas. Here we go. Welcome to the Jess and Ron podcast. Hello. Welcome to the podcast. Thank you for sharing it with your friends. Thank you for liking it.

Thank you for rating it five stars. Thank you for following. Thank you doing all the stuff to support us. We appreciate it. Oh my God. I love that so much. We do. We do appreciate it.

We see you. We feel you. Not with our hands, but with our hearts. Heart feel. We are having a long lunch this. Friday, which I didn't actually Jerry Rowan. It's kind of your birthday celebration. Your birthday's on Thursday.

Yep. And then the long lunch is on Friday. So we'll cancel all the things we had planned, Bub, because at Friday, he gets to celebrate with 70 cookers. Don't you? You're actually not allowed. You better bring it in. I'm so, what a week for you.

I know, it's big. It feels weird. It's like, this is like one of the first years where I'm just like, I don't really care. 34. 34. So we'll be the same age for like three weeks. And then you're, you're. And then I'm older again.

Then you're older again. Older and wiser. Cougar. Cougar and? It's a bit small. What sound would a cougar make? Oh, Jesus Christ. That was great.

Hi, Babs. Hi, Babs is here. Shy guy isn't here for this show. And famously doesn't like a younger man, so we'll never be a cougar. No. Can't see yourself as like an 84 year old trying to go with a like a 30 year up. What about when you're 30 and then maybe like the guy would be 27? I reckon.

Do you reckon? Yeah. I don't know about that. Because women hit peak. Well, you might as much. Sexuality, I think, in our 30s, whereas boys peak their sexuality in like mid-20s. In terms of like libido and stuff. Sure.

Not expertise, obviously. Obviously. So in terms of actually making that comparable, should be gone for a younger bloke. I don't know if I could. Because of the immaturity. Yeah. Yeah. I fucking love saying like a 40-year-old with like a 22-year-old.

I mean, like Slay. I think it's awesome. Like, hats off to them. That's great. And you know what? It's what gets your motor going. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

Some people like wrinkles. Some people do not. Some people don't. Whatever floats your boat. Whatever floats your boat. Now, Babs, you were steering the ship on your own. Shy guy pulled a sickie. Yep.

How'd you go? Happy with it? Happy with your performance? Thoughts and sounds? I feel like I was a bit not on my game today. I agree. Oh, sorry. What?

We're not doing that? You're just being supportive, agreeing with what she's saying? Yeah. What do you mean? Put me off guard, you know, that? threw me off. Sorry, I said, see what I mean? Dropping the ball.

Saying dumb shit. It's the end of the show, darling. You can do that. You put all your energy onto the field. Yep. And now the game's over. It's fine. Put your feet up, relax.

I wasn't expecting it, but that's okay. We pivot. No, you're fantastic. Thank you so much. He'll be back. I'm sure he'll be back tomorrow. He might not be. He might not be.

Is what it is. All right. Well, have, enjoy the show. Okay, we've all run out of steam. Enjoy the podcast. I've got for Jess and Rowan. In 2026, something new for breakfast. Do you know, Jess?

I've got two balls. You'll get to know Rowan. What am I a piece of meat? It's covered in ink. It's 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's squawking fatty. And Rowan. Ah, you like what I did it? This is Jess and Rowan. This is going to be good. Happy Monday to you. my friend, how do you do?

I do be doing good. I think this is the most awake I've felt on a Monday. You know, I had dinner with my girlfriends last night. They're asking me, how's Roe Roe Bean? How's he settling in? They all know me. What are you saying? No, they want to know. How's he feeling? They want behind the scenes, babe.

They've been listening, but they want to know, how's he going? Mornings. He went from night radio, DJ and how's the shift been? I went, I think he's getting there. He's feeling bright or right and bushy-tailed as the days go on. We're on like show 35.

It is still early doors. Yeah. So I love to hear from the horse's mouth and about. Yeah, the horse is chatting. The horse is chatting. It's good. It's really good. I'm fine.

Here we go. When I was the first week or two, it was like, it would get to like 20 past 5 or like 5 30 and I'd be like, yeah, you're revving the engine. Now it's like 5 o'clock. I'm in the car ready to roll. Babe, it's fitness. It is a different sort of fitness, morning work, let alone where it's chatting into a big stick.

got into the big stick. Although I did take a magnesium something about last night. And you've not done that? No, that was good. Maybe that's what's helped. We love that. Let's recreate the game conditions tonight. See how we pull up tomorrow.

Good idea. I hosted an event over the weekend, a lot of chat around the show. Again, more questions. How's Rowe settling in? I had one very enthusiastic cooker come up for me. He goes, I like this, Ronan. And I went, yeah, you're like him that much. The branding's really worth, brother.

Yeah, we're going to have to stick onto the branding card. He was positive, and that's all we care about. That's fine. Ronan. I tell you what I'd be called much worse than Ronan before. We don't, we don't mind that. I did have one fellow Rowan come up to me. Oh, yeah, well, the W.

He goes, how does your Rowan spell it? Oh, yeah. Everyone says the same thing. Yep, it's R.O.H. Oh, so he's a Rohan. I went, yes, okay. So he goes, I'm a W. It went nice to meet you, sir.

Have a great day. Yeah, I think the Rowan tree, actually, I think the Rowan tree with the W is a really stinky tree. Hang on. That could be. Is that an actual thing? I shouldn't have said that because it might even be a bit of H. Oh, be careful here.

We've already had a little. Nah, the W, it's a stinky tree. Is it a stinky tree? I've never even heard of the Rowan tree. Is that a native Australian plant? Who knows? Who knows? I think it stinks.

Known as Salvation of Thor? This is an interesting tree. Thank you for the horticulture knowledge. Well, nice to meet you anyway, Rowan with the W. Rowan with the W and to the man who thought it was Ronan. Still, mad props to the show. Hello, Babs. Good morning.

Well, should we call her boss lady today? Oh, yeah, shy guy's in here, so... Shy guys pull the sickie at 5am, which is late for him. I think there's a minimum Sunday night cut off, not Monday morning. Monday morning, it's insane. But Babs, we're going to need you to step up today. You're wearing both hats. Of course, I can do that.

She's feeling good. Love that. Very good. All right, big show today, guys, still doing our fuck twice. And next, hey, the world sperm race. Some say it's coming to town. Someone is well-rested. Well done.

This is Jess and Rowan. Yeah, how's the headlines? Spirm Racing World Cup has been announced. And there's some strict guidelines. Wow. What's good, healthy competition without some rules, Rowan? We're not living in a world of anarchy. No.

We need structure. Guys, you only have to a March 23 to register, and they're looking for people everywhere. So you could, you know, be here for Australia, give you sperm and represent the country in the way you know how. We've had the Olympics. We've had the Olympics. Come on.

Let's get some, let's get some more Aussies. I've seen them in Milano, just getting down the hill. Now you can get up the hill. It's burned. Nice. They make a, I don't know how they do it. We're trying to read Hall. The whole time that song was on, I was like,

but how are they doing it? How are they testing? A little engineered racetrack to design. Microscopic racetrack? Yeah, to mimic the parts of a reproductive environment. Oh. Oh. And then I guess the last sperm will enter.

Oh, the last sperm will finish. First one will finish. And then they test it. Oh, that was John's. So, literally. I understand you are learning at the same time I am, but I am now going to pepper you with questions. Please. So when you say replicate, like the race track will be microscopic testes.

And is it the sperm releasing from those? Or is it microscopic ladies? Could be ladies, I think. And it is, you know, going up the canal. Yeah, a little microscopic. Yeah, I think it's up the canal to try. Instead of a finish line, is it an egg? Could be an egg.

Because the spermies are trying to get to the egg, obviously. Exactly. That's their mission. It's from one of the guys in the Mr. Beast team. It's very Mr. Beasty, isn't it? It is Mr. Beastie, because who's putting their money behind this? Oh, Mr. Beast would, for sure. Oh, crypto guys and Mr. Beast guys.

Okay. But there's a fully fledged World Cup later this year. What? Yeah, 100 grand if you win. If you have the fastest sperm in the world, $100,000. You must be 18. Yes. And must be clean of sexually transmitted diseases.

Oh, yep, that's a nice caveat. I like that. Because if we're talking about sperm, let's make sure it's all above board. You know, potentially, chlamydia could make it faster. Oh, is that like doping? I'm fair. Maybe. I think they're treating it like it's dope.

Okay. Yeah, you must be able to provide biological samples in compliance, with competition regulations. See, isn't that funny? Because everything I've now learned about fertility is everything can be different. You know what I mean? So what if your champion swimmer is used in the test batch?

I know. And then you have no champions. Too bad. It's kind of luck, isn't it? Yeah. It's basically, they're trying, and they always platt off. You know, they want to do it because it's bit of fun,

but they're trying to say that the men's, fertility has been quitely declining and they're raising awareness. Guys, it's great you're raising awareness, but we know that. You just want to do a sperm race. You just want to do a sperm race with a $100,000 kitty at the end of it. Imagine getting $100,000 for your comies.

Isn't that insane? And are you putting that in your Tinder bio or your social media? Your LinkedIn, your resume. Are you proud to have fast swimmers? I guess technically that is a biological thumbs up. But what about the men who like just do a little bit? What about the men that do heaps? You know, like...

Oh, see, numbers are not necessarily beneficial. if they're all slow and immobile. Sometimes when men finish, it's just a little bit. And sometimes some men finish and it's everywhere and you have to clean all the cheats. So again, another question for you. So I mean, you get more swimmers. One competitor per sample. And how do we make sure we pluck the champion out of that sample?

I'm pretty sure there's like 15 million in a healthy. Yeah. So they all just, I guess they're all just putting it in a cup, getting everyone putting in a cup and just going. And what they pluck one with tweezers. Yeah. Well, they put it into the racetrack and then they all race. Also, Rowan, how do we make sure that's Rowan's guys? If I'm putting them into the race track.

Well, they'd have to test it like afterwards, wouldn't they? Oh, and then they link the biolid, the DNA back. This is not cool. Or can I dye your guys blue? Can I dye shy guys green? Yeah. And then in the pool. Oh, what if they all start smudging together and the colours run?

Oh, that one's great. Oh, my God. That's a bet. This is Jess and Rowan. Rowan, you've put me in the mood for travel. How about we duck over to Paris? Oh, bonjour. Bonjour, too, how so var.

Rowan? That was how are you? Oh, great. Tutta palcomo. Good. No, that's Rowan now. Okay, do we understand this again? What are we doing?

Let's go. Bonjour. Bonjour. We are here in the city of love. Yeah, good days. Is it also the city of lights? City of some. It's a city of a lot.

I do quite like Paris. Oh, see, I've had one experience, and every French cliche to the negative that I could have experienced, I did. And I don't think I did it right now that I'm hooked on Emily in Paris. I would like to try it again. Because I went and was trying to order spaghetti bolognese

in every restaurant because my palate is so limited. Like, if I'm going to go to Fresnel properly, Jess. You know, well, I went over there, and I knew a radio girl, Mina, and she was, radio energy. in France. So we were running around. I love the sound of this.

She was doing everything and just ordering everything and they're all laughing because she was clearly hilarious. I think you need a local, don't you? She was kind of like a French Jess, kind of. What's her name, Mina? Mina. Yeah. A bonjour to Mina.

She's also like kind of your high, dark feature. I'll show you. Actually, I've never thought of it. I'll show you a minute. Oh my God. Have you got a couple of radio girlfriends in your life? I'm collecting. It just looked the same.

Yeah, just collecting them. I love that I have a French equipment. And sorry, do you know, is she a native Parisian? Yeah. What did she move to the big smoke for her radio dreams? Oh my God, no, she's from there. Oh, I love, that's the kind of person you want to be whining and dining with. Oh, and she, oh, didn't we whine and dine?

Oh, bonjour. There she is. Great. Sorry, continue. Oh, I can't wait to learn more about Mina. But we're in Paris. She looks just like you. Jesus Christ, she didn't even realise.

Okay, I'm going to need you when we go to the news to try and get a bit of Mina on French radio. Oh, that's going to be. I wouldn't even know what she... It's too hard. All right. We'll give it. When Shiger gets back from Sikley,

was pretending to have the flu. We're in Paris. The city of Love, Lights and Mina. Yeah, totally. Because allegedly, French are doing one day of the week. Better than us all. Okay.

French Sundays are a thing. Pardon me. Excuse me. It was Italian. Shit. Apparently, here in Australia, Sundays have become the day we prep for the week.

We do our chores, we go to the shops. Hell, we cook seven batches of the chicken chowmin to eat at work. Wrong. The French are doing it right, Rowan. Right. They roast a bird. Bird roasting, yeah.

They eat it with a glass of vin, which is wine, obviously. Vina. They favour a sleep-in, and they make love. That's a French Sunday. Sounds like any Sunday, doesn't it? Cook or roast?

That's sex. Apparently that's what they only do. We try and do... Maybe we do a bit of this. The leisurely sleep in, not if you've got small children. They're priorities. Maybe you try and have a lunch.

But we also... Have you ever been to the supermarket on a Sunday? Awful. It's awful because everyone has the same idea. Let's prep for the week. We shouldn't be doing it, says the French. So they prep on a Saturday. Well, great question.

know when they're prepping because this is only, according to Vogue, French Sundays is something we can all embrace to live a calmer, more balanced life to set us up for the week ahead and have that, jean-se-cois. So they're just cooking birds and getting it on. They're cooking birds and then doing their bird, you know what I'm saying? Do it the bird? So we call it, do with a bird. But I guess it's from a heterosexual male perspective, eating the bird, doing the bird. Whoa. This is Jess and Rowan. New for breakfast.

in 2026. This is Jess and Rowan. Good morning. Alpha bucks on the way. Very soon. Your first chance at $10,000 is at 7 o'clock. We'll get you that. And if you want to come for a long lunch with us, we'll tell you the details next.

Oh, yeah. There's no money you have to spend other than bring us, your good times, and your happy vibes. Oh, what a beautiful endorsement. That is absolutely all we ask for. Give me some cash. If you want to flick me some on the side

and put in my pocket. I'll take a tip. Yeah. Mummy works hard. Take the tip. Good to know. We all will for some money. It's one of them days,

I struggle guys not in the studio. I know. It doesn't it just feel like, when the cats away, the mice will make rude jokes. Talk about money. Just like, I'll take the tip, sorry? Where you say the or a?

I don't know. Never mind. Doesn't matter. All of it, baby. Speaking of taking the tip. Tinder has a new AI feature. And it is called chemistry. AI feature.

I don't want AI in me love, Row. Well, it's everywhere. Get out of my love. It basically wants to, scan your camera roll so you give Tinder access to all of your photos, which I think's crazy. Give it access to all your photos. And with its new tool that they're calling chemistry,

it wishes to, it's an opt-in feature. So it's not just there. It won't just do it. For now. And it will go through and see the type, I guess, of men or women that you've been screenshoting. That's creepy in itself.

But it's just sitting in your camera roll. Maybe it'll see if there's some romantic-ish, photos of maybe previous lovers. Okay. I'm sure it'll see some nudes and we'll go, oh, that's a kind of vibe you like. Yeah, will it also take into consideration screenshots of book covers that I've been recommended?

All of that stuff. Or gardens I wish to visit. Or clothes I want to purchase. Well, chemistry has a thing in it called camera roll scan. So you can... It's going to take it all into consideration. Yeah, it's a premium feature.

I mean, anything to get a little bit more money. It's a business. But hey, look, people need love. So it scans that and then scans yours and then goes in the ether. These two actually would be compatible. Basically, we'll score it on what they're found in your photos. That's insane. On these profiles, don't you spend ages curating what you want to put out there

to attract a certain type of person? Is this technology basically saying, we know you're keeping 98% behind closed doors, give us access and we can give you a better match? It doesn't say that here. But yes, basically, it calls it photo insights. So then things and then, oh, you know what, it's not just the nudes and people's faces. It's looking through and going, wow, you really take a lot of photos of otters. Maybe you might like an otter.

Okay. This is John. John likes an otter too. You haven't put that on your profile. No. But I can see a lot of it. Let me go find a bloke. Maybe not even that he's got otters, but he's got a lot of dams.

I'm not sure why, John. Natural bodies of water And they think... He's good for a pass, water passage. You know what? I love rafting. You love rafting. I love rafting.

So maybe I would match with the otter lady. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because natural bodies of water, I could enjoy a raft. She could spot otters. Oh my God. Hey, babe. You like otters? I like bodies of water that's flowing down the road.

Not that I think rapid raging rivers are where otters like to gently hang out. But I think... I think that might work, you know, at a stretch. I'm so glad not on this anymore. I know, because are you hearing what I'm trying to put together? I don't even know how you navigate these. I would have no idea. Because it would go, oh, wow, rolling like sausage rolls.

Let's put it. How many screenshots of sausage rolls? There's some real good ones. I'll tell you what. I come from Tasmania. There's some real nice bakery stuff. One of my girlfriends is on one of the apps. Hinge.

Yeah. And when we were last all together, we were going through her profile and picking it apart. Oh, that's mean. Not one of the great pastimes being in a happy, stable relationship. Judging? And then poking all the holes in your single girlfriend's profile. Definitely. And we're going, what do you mean by this?

This doesn't make sense. She goes, it's funny. None of us got it. It doesn't work. Showed my husband and he laughed. And I went, oh, she's read the room. She's trying to attract a man. Makes sense.

So I'm like, oh, sometimes your girlfriends can't even help you. Yeah, but Angus is quite nice. Is he just playing the field? No, I think he would have tried to help her. He's known her for a long time. I think he would have been. been honest to be like, Anna, what are you doing here? You just said her name.

Did she want to know that? I think so. Anna, is that one of the Melbourne friends? That's exactly one of the Melbourne friends. She's making a joke about her hide and like she couldn't see over a ledge. I'm like, well, he's stoned with her. She goes, it's funny because I'm short. I went, is it?

Whereas Angus thought, yeah, yeah, that's funny. Whereas if that had chemistry and the camera, what does she like? What does she like? You know, what does she like? What does she like? Where she likes a fine wine and dine, that's what she likes. Oh, so she should say. She should have said I like boozy shit

and then she would have found a dude who likes boozy stuff. Exactly. Instead of trying to make jokes on the profile, I just put it out what you want. Oh my God. Where's me, Mrs. I don't know. She's behind a short fence. How do we know? Well, it's not a dinda bird. What's that stool for? It's all my girlfriend so she can see up.

Not a known. This is Jess and Rowan. Jess and Rowan's 10K alpha bucks on hit. First cab off the rank, playing for $10,000. First one this week and first one today. to you. Donna. Good morning. How are you guys? Oh, sexy Donna. I love the name Donna. I love the name Donna. My husband happens that we're becoming extinct. I don't think there are many baby Donnas getting around. What's the youngest Donna you know yourself? I met a eight-year-old Donna probably last year.

Shout out to the eight-year-old Donna. I know. Might be the youngest. Donna, what brings you to our show today? Why do you want our 10 grand? Okay, so I've got two boys. When my eldest comes, was about four. He said, I want to open my own zoo one day. Now, they're both qualified zookeepers. Wow. And they're working their butts off to try to save up to buy some lien to start that zoo. So 10 grand would go towards that. Oh, my God. So obviously, if you contribute 10 grand to the zoo, you'll get an animal named after you. What animal do you want to see, you know, named after money? I don't know. Maybe a meerkat. Meerkat. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right. I'm a meekats watch over everyone. I love that. All righty, well, Donna, you're not going to believe it. Your letter's D. It's D for Donna. D for Donna. All right.

Awesome. You ready to rock? I hope so. All right. Your time will start after the first question. Donna, starting with the letter D, we need you to name. An ice cream. A drumstick.

A country. Denmark. A Marvel film. Deadpool. Something in the bathroom. A disinfectant. A DJ. Oh, DJ Konski.

A school subject. A drama. A six-letter word. Dream. A soft drink. Diet Coke. A body part. Pass.

A technology brand. Ron. Rowan. You know if you probably picked up the page, you would have got that? You were just. A little too cool, you would have won 100% gone. Literally, Donna, I don't want to sound like an asshole, because you were a little bit too cool.

Oh, because you got eight in a row then. That's un! Oh, what did you say? Dream. Oh, I added an S. I heard the dreams. Added an S. I heard dreams.

Okay, well, that's it. Now that you've got no, there's nothing on the line, Donna. Can you think of a body part? No. No. Oh, maybe not then. Oh, well, okay. John, you were elite.

That was incredible. Well done, Donna. Body part could have been diaphragm. Yep. Del. Del. Oh, sorry, Donna. Sorry, no meerkat named after mummy yet.

Just in your... Yeah, I believe in your boys. That's so exciting. Good on you. Thanks for joining the show. Thank you so much. Thanks, Donna. This is Jess and Rowan.

Take a leaf out of Donna's book. Add a little bit of gasoline. And we could go for 10 out of 10 at 8. 8 a.m. Rowan. Stand by for that. Now, we want to talk about things people aren't really caring about. People who shared on BuzzFeed.

Love going to a BuzzFeed article for a bit of content, don't we, Jess? Oh, likewise. I like to do a little quiz. What Marvel character am I? And then I go and have a little look what the BuzzFeed team have put out for me. Who do you normally get? Oh, well, I'm a cheater, and I keep redoing it until I get someone I like. Oh, yeah.

I like the warrior, the leader, the general from Black Panther. That's who I aimed for last time. Oh, really? You know that woman? I don't know what the... Yeah, you know the character. You know what I'm talking about? The bald lady.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, she's sick. She would have been the black bald lady. And I got her. Good one. On my third attempt. After you've lied about your answers. I don't know, we get an ant man or something.

I'm like, what's that for? Yeah, well, poor, poor, but I don't be ant man. Little man. A little man. Could be big man. All right. People are saying, here's a few things I just thought I get here, that they just don't care about anymore, Jess.

Talk to me. Yeah, let's... I don't care. I want to throw off the shackles. I care not too much about stuff, Rowan. Someone wrote here, my job, they don't pay me enough. That's got to be a Gen Zeta because this is the quiet quitting. This is the, uh, nah, my job finishes at five.

Thank you very much. New styles of brand name, purse, shoes, jewelry. I have to buy higher price groceries. Yes, I love that. Not falling for the trends, 100%. This person here said, I don't want to be in charge of anything anymore. No committees, community boards or volunteer activities that assume annual participation.

Let the younger people pick up the gauntlet. That sounds like someone who has served their community and is done. What about you? For me, stack in the dishwasher properly. Oh, yeah. You know, you hear about these couples in particular where one will restack after the others loaded it or fights happening or even just conversations. about how the bowls should be together and the plates should be together. It's too hard.

It's too hard. I will draw the line. Bundle your cutlery if you do use the basket. Just makes it easier a pondle. So all the forks should go in the same compartment, all the nice, because that's just easier. Never done that. Oh, I find that just easier when you're unstacking.

That's a smart thing to do. Why have I ever done that? But other than that, I'm chucking tupperware wherever. Yeah, who cares? There's bowls on the top. There's plates perpendicular. Oh, who cares. You know what I used to love.

It all comes out in the wash. Housemates. I used to love housemates. Now I couldn't care for living. I mean, obviously live with a girlfriend who's a... Technically a housemate by a lot of benefits. Totally. To her having been your housemate.

She's crazy brownies. They're so nice. No, they're like, but they're healthy brownies. They are with the sweet potato. They sound horrific. But my husband devoured that whole container she left for us. I didn't even get a nibble. He loved them, right?

0-4-8. 8-106-9, 2026. It's well into the new year, but is there something you've got, you know what? It's taken up too much mental space for me. I don't care anymore. This is Jess and Rowan. We are doing Alpha Bucks again at 8 o'clock, guys. I'm getting a good feeling of momentum is going up. We will have a $10,000 winner soon. We absolutely will. Crossing them. Crossing everything. The coolest cucumber we've ever had on the show, Donna got an 8. And if she just had a little

fuel in the tank. I'll get it, Donna. Fuel prices are crazy at the moment. We ran out of time. But we needed to step on the gas a little bit. Well done, Jets. It's only 30 seconds, Rowan. It's not a long time.

Could have got your 10 grand. Maybe you could put some more fuel in the tank. Maybe. Once. But right now, we are asking for your contributions on 131060 or, of course, 04-8-8-1069. Text line. What are we just not caring about anymore?

Yeah, I couldn't care for housemates, man. That's me. I love that. Someone got in touch, haven't left a name, dating apps. I'm all for being an independent woman for life, doing what I want or when I want. Tara said, high heels. I don't care about him anymore. And if it was socially acceptable, I'd be doing crocs to my own wedding this weekend.

That's insane. Tara, it's your wedding though, babe. As a guest, unless that's on the mood board, you've got to care what the bride wants. but if you are the bride, do whatever you want. You could do it. You could do like a crock hour. You could do like the last two hours of crocs only. One of my girlfriends, she changed into a crock, had a little veiled jisbit thingy.

Sorry? She put it through the hole. Oh, okay, got you. Sharon got in touch. This is passionate. I'm going to read it verbatim, Rowan. Okay, do you? I don't care.

I love it. Glory, glory Alex Johnston made history, got 213 tries, but we lost. the ball game against the goosters. But I don't care. I love it. Glory, glory. I think she doesn't care about losing the game. But cares about Alex Johnson?

She cares about Alex Johnston. That's the kind of energy we like to see. Did you see that game where they were like, we are fining anyone. $5,000 that goes onto the pitch. Oh, year bad. Because they knew it was on the cards. Yeah, you're not allowed to run on. $5,000 or fine and a year ban for everyone.

Guess it's on the pitch running around. Anthony Albanesey? Oh, fantastic. I saw the vision. Didn't everyone storm the field? That's a lot of fines to give out, including to the P.N. And I feel sorry for people that actually got caught. The crew guards grabbed a few people.

Oh, no. So they're the only ones who did get. Hopefully we can all chip in. Babs, round us out. What are you not caring about in 2026? Well, when I throw the pegs from into the peg basket and they go all over the ground, I've just stopped picking them up now until we have to mow. This is Jess and Rowan.

You put me in a good mood. because I was coming at this from a dark cloud, our next story, Rowan. Oh, right, okay. I just don't know why people have to ruin nice things. I, big fan of a charcutory board, all right? That is my staple for a dinner party. My husband does the cooking.

He's killer lamb, shoulder, potatoes. I'm Jewel, by the way. I'm Jewelam shoulder. I'm always on antipasti. I'm always on antipasti. The start of the charcutory board. I'm an ambassador for a freaking deli. Like, it's my jam.

Yeah, baby. I also love separately chippies. Love the crisp. Who doesn't? We're human. My blood is red. I'm human. I don't know why in 26,

some psychopaths on TikTok when, you know what I like? Cheese and salami. I also like chips. Yeah. And put it all together. It makes sense to me. Chip.

Kuteri. I think I'm pronouncing that correctly. Or crisp cuterie. It involves loading potato crisps with gourmet toppings. So you open a packet of crisps. Some people are using crinkle cut salty vs. They are the superior chip. They don't need adornments. But let's just say they open a packet of chips.

They dump them out on a plate. They tear up prosciutto pile it on. They maybe tear up a bit of breathe. Breeze sounds good to me. Shuck it on. Maybe a little balsamic glaze. Sounds good to me. Shmere it on.

And then maybe a handful of rocket, which just ruins everything. But there are recipes going around, Rowan. Recipes get involved, barata gets involved, chives, truffle, caviar. No. I don't like it. It looks like trash. I'm not here for the S&Vs. But what about a beautiful?

Because you don't get those like $10 bags of chips that are like... The fancy pants ones. Beautiful, like, garden, Sun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, there's ones that do the can, the cans. Oh, there's a big, some of those $70.

It's insane. It's because they're imported from Spain. They're a superior crisp. The big bag of chips, like, I know we do some sometimes because Lucy gets in there in avocado oil, sea salt. I've never had an avocado oil. And they are, like, real premium. Okay.

But they're only a couple of ingredients. Like, some of the ones you get from the server, like the server, like the server, like the Laze. They're loaded. Absolutely. Like a lays. But, like a really premium one might be a nice cracker kind of a lot. And that's what I think, I guess that's essentially what the crisp is replacing, the cracker.

Yeah. But the idea you make it almost a tray bake of nachos, this person's clearly taken scissors to their suppressor salami, which is criminal in of itself. Is that a different type of salami? That's just a fancy salami. You get a hot suppressor, change your life. Really? I just, I think this person baked it because it looks like it's on Gladb baked. I was thinking you could put it in the oven and melt debris a bit.

They've drizzled honey on it. I just don't understand. What's wrong with a cracker? Because, oh my God, this person crushed a pistachio and then has dollops of fig jam. Rowan, you're not like you're picking up one of these ruffles. And you're getting a good portion of each flavour. It's not like you're getting that crisp, getting a bit of prosciot, getting a bit of the cheese, getting a bloody pine nut or whatever.

I mean, I don't. It's actually, the ratio is completely off. You could make a really nice dessert one too. You can make a dessert one. You could do like a bit of the... What chocolate? Yeah, you could do a bit of the... On a crisp?

Yeah, man, melted chocolate. You could do maybe like a little, like a gay time crumb maybe on top of it. Oh, my God. What is the world coming? Nothing is sacred anymore. I went to a restaurant. It was beautiful. There was this dessert called Stoner's Delight.

Stoners Delight. And it had all the kind of stuff that like maybe you get the munchies on. It was put on a plate. And it was based around like some crinkle cut... Chips as the base? It couldn't have been any nice. Nice. And it looked like a mess?

One of my worst traits, Rowan. Worst traits. You know that saying don't knock it to you try it? Or I knock everything before I try it. Clearly. On this, I just don't understand why we can't have two separate things. I want my charcutory at the start. Had Mars glass on it.

And a bag of chips when I get a little hungry before bedtime. Look at that. It looks unbelievable. Doesn't look good. No, I don't like deconstructed things. Stonis Delight from Dan Hong. You would just say Mr. Long is one of your favorite restaurants. It's his other restaurant.

Dan Hong. Visionary in the dessert space. Well, if you want to impress or upset your friends, could go either way, the chip cuterie is what we're all allegedly doing at dinner parties from now. I reckon the pork you deli people that you look, you work with. I reckon they do a ripple one. Might get in touch with them, see if they do one.

It's birthday week, baby. Air would be a birthday. Yeah, would mind. All right. This is Jess and Rowan. Sopper. On hit breakfast, this is Jess and Rowan. Good morning.

Home wrecker, that's called. That is good song. American man. American dude. Jess once thought was Australian. Tried to claim him. We all went, hang on. I don't know about that.

Pull you up there, Jess. Don't know about that one. Would be great. He's cool, but no. Well, actually not. We've got enough cool people, it's fine. We've got Bats. Don't we, babes.

You're cool. Thanks. I am Babsy. I am cool. Okay. On the weekend, she had a games night with her friends and played the Nintendo all weekend. Yeah, we played Mario Party. And I was a bit upset.

She called that a games night. like wrong. She goes, no, no, there were some board games and then some digital. I went, oh, okay, I'll pay that. What game game? We play Bonopoly Deal. Oh, I'd like to play that game. I don't play Benopoly Deal. Neither have I. Card game. Or is it actually a board?

What else we play? We played like a code word game with, I don't know, it had like little pieces. I've played code. Oh, okay, we're fading. You know, Mike now I'll stop working? It's weird. It's very strange. What? It's so funny.

Game nights are so easy to judge, but they're so fun, but you can never talk about them because you just get met with eye rolls. It's just not good. It's not good, but they are fun. Scattergories is my game of choice for anyone who cares. Thanks, man. I appreciate it.

No one asked. Listen, I've got a few other brands here. The most trusted and least trusted brand. Do I'm going to rail off a few of them? Yes, please. The most trusted brand in Australia, Bunnings. Bunnos. Yep.

Makes sense. Can't refute that. People trust Bunnings to give them. them what they think they're going to get, right? I love that. Can't trust that you always find someone in green. Yeah. Because they are massive spaces.

But other than that, yeah. Stuff like Commonwealth Bank. Oh, that's good for a bank to win trusted. Kmart, third, Audi, second. I'm not doing Audi ever. You've been going to Audi? Nah, it just, I just. I can't even do a different Woolies.

You know, I'm a woolly shopper. Yeah, yeah. Because the layouts, man, I get so discombobulated. What do you mean? the cheeses at the other end. The cheese is meant to be here. Actually. Then I'm wandering all around looking from a sliced veager.

It's funny to say that. The number one distrusted brand in Australia, Woolworths. And I actually agree with that, I think. They're fresh food people. I actually agree with that, I think. Maybe the food is fresh. But I tell you what, if I go to a new woolworths and it's not where it should be in the same aisle number.

You know, I heard. Take it personally. You know, I heard, it's a sales thing to discombobulate. you to start wandering. So then you go, ooh, tiny tetties, haven't had those in a while where usually you would know to avoid that aisle because you don't need bickies. Doesn't that make us sound stupid? It doesn't.

Like, oh, you put something in front of my face. I must buy it. It's about self-control people. Number two, distrust and Brent Optus. I also agree with that one. I keep getting charged and I have cancelled my account. Sorry to yell. Oh, Rowan.

I've been with Optus since I was 15. Get out of it. You know, I went the other day to upgrade my phone. And they literally, so since 15 to, let's say, 34. Yeah. Do you still need this second number? No. No.

They went, oh, do you have a child? Like, do you pay? And I went, my, my, this page, I was like, what, one? I'm like, what second number? They went, you've had a second number on this for about a decade. So I got back paid. So that was nice of them. What do you mean back pay?

Well, I had been paying for a plan, a second plan for a number. Yes. What? Because they were able to go into the account, because then they thought I was lying, being like just trying to get some refund. And they could see no call or message had ever been sent from this alleged second device that I'd been paying. I'm going to hit these guys up on the back page. So check your plans, people.

Check your bills. You might be paying for something. People trust. They trust optus more than Facebook. We've got more trust in Facebook than optas. The Zuck has been mining our data. data for years and we don't trust op. Jesus Christ, okay. Oh, it was a

data breach. It goes Woolworth's Optus Facebook calls, then TEMU. And under TEMU? People, we need to not be trusting Timu more than our own local stuff, surely. Oh, sorry, they trust. More than I know, though. I was the one paying for a

second device for 10 years. Telstra's 8th. I think there's a bit of the theme here, guys. Yeah, okay. Any surprises for you, Rowan, on either of the lists? No, it all makes sense. It all makes sense. People, well, people trust Australia Post.

10th. Okay. I mean, they did good work for us over the COVID. They really had to step it up, obviously. I feel like. Oh, having said that, how many times you've been sitting on your couch and then you get the slip, you won't home, you got to go to the post office? You bugger, I have been here all day.

You just didn't knock. Oh, yeah. You know those where it's like, yeah, come on. It just ends up at the post office. Oh, my God. The post either of the day, like a couple of the office. weeks ago, the way I parked my car is just a little bit too close to where they put the letters. So he like...

You mean the letterbox? Yeah, letterbox. Well, it's not really a box. It's like in the, in the fence. It's not really a letter. Oh, you got a letter slot. It's a lot. It's a lot.

A lot family. And my car was too close to it. And he said, hey, can you not park your car there? Did he knock on the door to talk to you or he caught you one day? Oh, he caught me one day. He said, oh, by the way, can you not park your car there? And I went, um, yeah, I'm going to park my car there. and he said, well, it's hard for me on my bike to put your letters in.

And I said, because he want to stay on the bike. I said, but you put him in. Yeah, but I don't want to get off. I said, well, I parked my car there in front of my house, so maybe you'll have to do that. And then the next day, my letters were clearly thrown at my house in a rubber band. I'm not joking. Clearly thrown at the house. All the fines and bills, you're an idiot.

There's no way I should be out. Posties, clean. Don't ever piss them off, guys. This is Jess and Rowan. Jess and Rowan's 10K alpha bucks on hit. After a cool, calm, collected 8 out of 10 at 7 o'clock, we have the great Lisa playing for $10,000 today. Good morning.

Good morning. Lisa, did you hear Donna play at 7 a.m.? Unfortunately, I didn't. Okay, that's all right. I want to take a learning from Donna so you can apply it, all right? It's one thing to be cool, calm and collected, but you can't be slow. All right? She ran out of time because she was too cool.

So, Lease, you've got to have a combination of smarts and speed. You got that. Okay. Good girl. Love it. What's motivating you? What are you going to spend our 10 grand on? Oh, look, we would love to go on a holiday.

All right, I love that. Maybe you'd consider the Central Coast. Maybe you'd consider Canberra. Because those places start with C, and that's what you're going to work with. Perfect. All right. You ready to rock? I'm ready.

Let's do it. Your time starts after the first question, starting with the letter C, Lisa. We need you to name something round. Circle. A board game. Circle of Life. A noun. A food brand.

Cadbury. A reality TV show. Pass. A dog breed. Gavoodle. An instrument. Pass. A six-letter word.

Clever. A beauty brand. Clarence. An occupation. Pass. Got another good player. It's moving. It's moving.

What did you say for noun? Lisa. Just a cat? I don't know. Cats, I think. Yeah, cat or cap, I heard, which both would apply. All right, great. Reality TV show, Catfish, Celebrity of

Cranehs could have, or cake boss as well. Cake boss is a great show. Instrument, you pass on that, could have clarinet. Or the chalo, you got a bass. Chalo, you got a bass. And occupation could have chef, cashier. You're closer. One, two, five, that's seven.

Seven was very good. Seven is a clap. Yep, golf clap. Lisa, thank you for joining the show. So sorry, we couldn't get you the cookies. That is okay. Thank you so much for having me. You're very welcome.

Pleasure to you. Beautiful manners. Treasure. Thank you for the lovely, lovely manners. That's so nice. All right. Next, what did you sleep through? You're heavy sleeper.

Jess has got a bit of a sleeping story. Man, I always joke I could sleep through a hurricane. This is worse. Oh, wow. Talk about that next. This is Jess and Rowan. Look right now, we'd love you to get in touch on the phones. 13, 1060.

Or we've got the text line. 048-08-1069. Got that 500 to spend it in Genia Holiday Parks. Cooker of the way. Hell yeah. I want to know what you have slept through. I often joke that I could sleep through a hurricane. I could sleep through a tornado.

I could sleep through a cannon going off. What happens Saturday night, Rowan? I have not been exaggerating, obviously. Really? We were spending a couple of nights away. I was emceeing an event in Shoal Bay. Lovely. I was in a nice Airbnb, quiet little spot away from the main draft.

bag, okay, I'd worked all afternoon. It was dead tired, all right? Mama tired. Mama tired. We had the little one with us, of course. And the bed, whilst it could have probably fit, you know, three monkeys in the bed, Angus sort of went, you know what, I'll go sleep in the back room. You and Lucia have the master bed at the front of the house.

Just settle her in. Let's just try and get through the night. He's played that well. He wants his own room. He's played that run. Well done, mate. I look over at the clock because I sort of stir and I look over at semi-fine. or something and it's 1 15 a.m.

I go, what's going on? I can hear Angus talking. What? What is going on? And in sort of my haze, I'm thinking, what is he talking to? I can hear a woman responding. Interesting. What is happening here?

Are you sleeping to someone else? This brazen to just invite her in at the Airbnb. I know I'm a heavy sleeper, but Jesus. Clever. Anyway, I, because I'm. I'm gutless. Just put my ear up to the wall instead of just going out there. I feel like you could have asked your husband who's talking to.

But I just was tired. I was just, what is this? Anyway, then she says something that pricks my ear up. And then I realize I'm seeing sort of a blue and red flash come through the crack in the curtains. Thinking, oh, I'm a bit more awake now, a bit more alert. Yeah, that's a cop. So I go out as he re-enters the Airbnb. he's been outside talking to a police officer Rowan.

He goes, how the hell did you just sleep through all that? I went, what's happened? He goes, there was a car crash in front of our Airbnb. A woman has smashed into a parked car. Thankfully not ours. Thankfully, she was all right. But cops were on scene. There was an ambulance out the front and fireies because they had to jaws of life hurt.

So three emergency vehicles, a car accident, and the cop made the point. She'd been bashing on the door, the front door of our air at B&B, which was two steps away from this main bedroom that Lucia and I had been sleeping in. She'd been bashing on the door for a good minute or two. So Angus heard from the back room. From the back room, because the dog then started stirring. Oh, right, right. He's come, obviously, barreling in his thoughts.

There's someone drunk trying to get into our Airbnb. He's opened the door to the copper and she's gone, first thing she said, geez, you're a heavy sleeper. I've been bashing on your door. He goes, sorry, I'm at the back of the house, but my wife and toddler are in this room. You are sprawled out. I was dead to the world run, slept through a car crash. Really?

Car accident. Do you see the car? Do you see it? To be honest, I then didn't go out because I was embarrassed that I'd left this, basically left the cop on red. Slept through it. Wow. Couldn't believe it.

I've been feeling a bit guilty about my mothering because I don't wake up to Lucia's cries. It's always angers and then I eventually attend to it. I think it's a good thing. I think you're the right thing. I know. I get more sleep than he does for it. But that's next level.

That's really bad. You're working too hard, man. You need to calm down a bit. Is that what? Is that my body telling me? Ignore a car accident and a police woman. It's the renno, mate. You just got to, like, once the house is done, you've got to just...

Oh, I've been grinding, man. That's how hard mummy's working. That's how deep of a sleep I was in. Wow, sleeping through the car crash. And the banging on the door. Now that I think about it, it was my husband talking to another woman. That's what woke me up. Yeah, interesting.

That's where my brain went, wake up, wake up, wake up. The Italian knew when he better not be. He better not be. Came out with my slipper in my hand being like, oh, sis. Blue She's got a knife. Hey, put that down, man. Says the cops. 13, 10, 60.

You see why I want to ask. Yeah, what did you sleep through? Are you like me? Are you a log? Can you sleep through the proverbial hurricane? Yeah. Or an actual car crash? I thought I was a heavy sleeper once.

And then when I was living in the Big Smoke in Sydney, there was a gunshot right outside my door. And that worked me up, so not too bad. Well, there's a level there. Bang, bang. Whoa. Sound like a garbage bin had been smacked down. Oh, my gosh.

Crazy. Oh, he like stole a car and was running, ran past our house. and then tried to blow in the lock from that people underneath. Jesus. And if she was sleeping in her normal spot, it would have got her. And she had nothing to do with it. Okay, well, that's tomorrow's phone topic. That's tomorrow.

For now, what did you sleep through? Yep. Take your calls next. This is Jess and Rowan. Right now, we're taking your calls, your texts. 131060. What did you sleep through? I think if sleep was a category at the 2032 Brisbane Olympics,

I should represent our country. Really? One of the great sleepers. On Saturday night, I slept through a car accident outside our Airbnb, single car accident where she smashed into a park car. She seemed okay. I watched from the window her get out of the ambulance after being checked over. Yeah, yeah. And a policewoman bashing on the door of our Airbnb because she noted there were cameras

out the front and they wanted the vision. Smart. Yeah, okay. Bashing on it for like two minutes, she said, until my husband stirred from the back of the house to attend to her. And she made the comment, geez, you must be a heavy sleeper. He went, no, I'm actually just miles away. I think my wife's ignoring you, to be honest.

And I only woke up to him chatting to a woman and thought, what's going on he? Who the hell is that? Who the hell is that? I knew it. I knew he was sleeping with another woman. It was crazy. I cannot believe I must have been really tired. So we were asking on 30 and 1060, Shailie, what did you sleep through?

Hi, guys. Hi, Shay. I slept through a bunch of teenagers. that were breaking into cars out the front. And my neighbor came out in his underwear because he caught them. Tackled them and placed them undercitizens arrest. One dude placed multiple teenagers under sitters. Oh, you Batman, your neighbor.

Hell, yes. Amazing. He was the hero of the town. Absolutely. But it would have made quite the ruckus. You just slept through it. Only found out about it in the morning. Yes.

There was police all over the street. and I actually woke up to my mum calling me saying, the front of your house is on Facebook, and all these teenagers have been caught out the front of your house. Wow. God, there's a few things. There's really a few things to rely on death, taxes, and mum being on Facebook. Mum being across it all.

Thank you, Shaley. Let's go to Tim on 131060. Good morning, mate. Amen. Good morning. Tim, what have you slept through? My sister giving birth in the house. In the house.

That's a boy. I was going to say, if you missed a call, I understand. But so what are we talking? Are you in like a back room, granny flat or like the neighbouring bedroom? No, no. No, no. The next bedroom's the adjacent. Okay.

Well, she just really cool, calm and collected. No, no, she's screaming. Okay. Ended up in the bathroom, in the shower, and then I woke up to my mum and her partner in the house. Baby already born in arms? No, almost. Almost.

Tim just wanders him being like, oh, can I get anyone anything? You guys shut up. I'm trying to sleep. Be rude. I was in the horrors. Oh, my God. Uncle Tim, meet Janice or nephew. Oh, my God.

That's next level. I've been in the room or someone gave birth. It was me. There are loud noises involved, Rowan. Elish, good morning. Hi. How are you? Good, thanks, babe.

What have you slept through? Um, so hubby and I went out for dinner one night down the pub and we strolled home, got into bed, not realizing that we left the front door open and the neighbours called the police doing a welfare check on us. And I woke up to a police officer knocking me on the shoulder saying, oh, um, are you okay? They would have obviously called out that they were coming in, probably knocked at the front door. You're only woken up when he's over you in bed. Yeah, over the top of me with the torch in my face.

Oh my God. Mate, this is a good team we've got representing Australia at the Sleep Olympics. That would have been you. They should have broke the door down and just gone. 100%. Hello, wake up. Hello. What's the point of having a big dog?

If he's not even going to be like, oh, hello? Oh, mate, that dog is cat, mate. Yeah, 100%. This is Jess and Rowan. We're just talking about what people have slept through after I slept through a car crash and a policewoman bashing on our Airbnb wanting some footage. We just got a message. Kintiki Tings.

Someone said many, many years ago, I was in Amsterdam, had a few too many goodies. Yeah, they'll leave you there, don't I? Slept through a bunch of people petrol bombing cars. Whoa, that's what I was expecting. Slept through minor explosions all up and down the street. It was all over the Euro news the next day. That's how I found out. Amsterdam.

Someone said, I slept through our neighbour's house burning down. Horrifying. Not one of our family members woke up, including the two dogs. who usually bark at a leaf dropping. Someone said, me mate slept through an earthquake. I've heard that before. That's normal.

Unreal. I guess you think you're just being rocked to sleep. Yeah, like a little baby. And Lee has said, I managed to sleep for two hours on the start line of the drag races. That's a loud event. And also you see some kids that take, sorry, some parents take kids to gigs.

If you take them to gigs young enough and they get used to it, you see them sleeping right in the middle of the main moments. Absolutely. a little bit of a headphone on, protect the sensitive ears, they drift off. I've fallen asleep in the cinema before, which I always thought was the peak. I'm like, I think it was The Matrix or something. Oh, you didn't like The Matrix? I don't think I like number two.

Okay, yeah, that was a bit long. To be honest, I don't really like number one either. You didn't like number one? I'm not, I don't get it. It's got Ada Nicodemu in it. Did you know that? What's the lady? It's Ada Nicodemu.

You're lying. No, I'm not, no. Leah from Neighbors. Yeah, Leah's in it. Google it right now. Ada Nicadimu. No. One of your mates, and Ada Dicado from home and away.

She was in it? No, she wasn't. Yes, she was. But Ada Nicodemu Matrix, there's nothing's coming. Who did Ada Nicodemus? It says she was. Played du jour in the Matrix. Yeah.

You know why I don't believe you? Because I slept through it. This is Jess and Rowan. I wanted to just ask you as another woman how to stop another woman's obsession with a TV show. Or, in my partner, Lucy's case, theme. Theme? My partner, Lucy, is obsessed with anything to do with ghosts or paranormal activity. My brain went to like the theme song.

I went, like, let her enjoy a theme song. Like a theme song. Who am I to say? You don't like the theme song. That's all right. I was like, you can skip the intros, Lucy. Yeah, that's all right. That'd be an easy one.

So what's she into ghosts? Any sort of paranormal activity show where they go and see if they can find energies in an old house. Some ghost hunts, upholter guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever it is. She is obsessed with it. And here's my problem. She's obsessed with that. There's one show in particular called Skin Walker Ranch or something.

Oh, I don't care for that title. Couldn't care for that at all. Whereas a ranch that had all, it was kind of close to the Area 51. If you know, Area 51, it's like, famously where they put all the aliens in America. But they're all like, and I'm not saying Lucy's trashy, but I'm saying all the shows. Great cat. Our American shit trash ghost shows. And they all are the same where we are here.

And they establish where they are. There is a spirit in this room. So you've clearly sat down. Watch some of it. Now I cannot watch it anymore. Is it kind of once you've done one, you've done them all? It's all the same. Are they ever finding the spirit?

No, they're just making it up. I just, I don't believe. Yeah. See, they've got her. a hook line and sinker because they never actually find the ghost. She's going, maybe this one. They find the ghost. Wow, look at this.

Look at all this energy. I'm like, babe, this is like, what are we doing? Like, let's just say you and I sing next to each other on the couch and we're both watching and you turn over to me. I'll be what Lucy's face is like. Eyes popping out of her head. Is she, she believes in the supernatural. Yeah, she's a big energy spirit person herself.

Yeah, yeah. I am a bit to a degree. Rowan, I don't want to. What do we have? Because she did this, she bloody did this with real housewives of anything. Mm-hmm. Watched all them. Oh, the Atlanta one, I think, had like 28 seasons. Like, how many seasons are you doing in a year?

Ron, the reason I know why you've brought this to me, because you're hoping for some honesty, you want me to hold a mirror up to you and give it to your straight. Sure. I'm going to bring an off-air conversation on air. I hope that's okay. Maybe. What did you say you're doing this afternoon? I'm watching eight hours of home.

You said I'm going to sit on my couch from 12 till you thought about it for a second and I went, eight. I thought about how long could I stretch it out. And I'm going to watch Homeland. This is her homeland, baby. You can't. We're not yucking anyone's young. Just let her watch her ghost.

Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess. It has been going on for a year. I will watch Homeland for two weeks. Yeah, you can watch it for two weeks because you're getting eight-hour stints in. She doesn't have the same couch. If I give her the eight hours, she's watching it off. No, mate. She sits on the train from where we live now all the way down in the big smoke,

watching it like a toddler, getting her screen time. Well, if it keeps her quiet. It's the same on the quiet carriage, yeah. Same ghosts. I love her with all of my heart. Well, then you've got to love the ghost too. She puts the ghost shows on. I don't know.

I think I'm about ending it. This is like, me, you know, my husband is a big, is a big NRL boy. And I have a big. been on the record as saying NRL 360 might be the worst program known to man. It's a good show. What are you talking about? You know, the Maddie John show?

You don't like that one? He's all right, because they're a bit of fun. And I like those other two little sidekicks. What are they called? Fletch and Hindy. Yeah, I like them. They're funny, boy. They're funny.

I like them. And I'm trying to be a good partner, and this is the advice I'm going to give you. The real act of love is finding interest in your partner's interests. I tried, mate. I try it's just like I try eating tofu. I'm going to try NRL 360 and I want you to really get on board with the guys. This is what you've missed. I've done that for eight months, Jess.

Now I've decided to defend the ghosts and get you on. See what I'm saying? Also, when we first got together, she didn't eat meat. What did Rowan try and do for the first year? Eat lots of tofu. Guess what I cannot put anywhere near my mouth now. It's just not. I tried so hard.

And she used to make these beautiful dishes and. Well, why don't you, you know what I'm hearing? Two TV household. See, I take my phone into the bedroom and hide. This is what I'm thinking. We're going to just have to have a line in the sand. Two TV household. And Friday, she turned the ghosts on in the middle of the day.

And I went, okay. Daddy's watching Homeland. And the next day I put Homeland. I don't want to watch this. And I said, why didn't want to watch the ghost yesterday? So guess what we're watching now? Meet me halfway. Guess what happened?

Homeland all day. Homeland all day. So that's all I'm saying. Going into the front room, Luce, if you want to. you go. I'll be honest. I wanted to be more backing from you. No.

Are they here with this? Are we in Skinwalker? Are we in? Call Lucy. This is Jess and Rowan. This is Jess and Rowan. Good morning. Your 15 minutes for your first live the dream code word has ended, but do not stress.

More through the day. And then we'll pop up again and drive, Jess. We actually had someone comment on one of our videos, Rowan. When? Just then? No, for the weekend. The 5pm code word is always muffled. Is it?

Well, according to this person, we take all your feedback on board. I'm going to make sure it's extra crisp today. It also might not have a lot to do with us because once we send it into the ether, who's to say? But I want you to know, we read and we see it all. So thank you for your feedback. Thank you for your contributions. I was going to say once we record it and send it to the great doogie,

you who does our audio, I think job's done. Well, not to me anymore. That in common on Doogie's Instagram, Rowan, they commented on Jess and Rowan's Instagram. We must be better. We must be better. And we will be better.

Do better, Jess. How many people have to tell me to do better before I do better? This raggedy bloke, but we know you, Jess. You need to do better. All right. I will. I will, you know?

I must say, can we have a moment? A hat's off to Babs. Oh, well done, Babs. She's been steering. The ship. Yeah, the great shy guy. Shire guy pulling a sickie on a Monday. One of the great.

Can't pull a sick on a Monday. One of the great lazy buggers. Oh, he'll love that. He had to work on Saturday. And we know he's annoyed about it. So he went, I don't know he'll listen to the podcast. Leave this out of the pod.

Leave it out. Oh, wow. I kind of want to put it in. No. What she said. All right. See today. Bye.

Bye. That was the Jess and Ron podcast. Mac is. Mrouet-Bernay's Angus Range is here. Chef's Kiss.
