Starting point is 00:00:13 Oh, whoa. Who's this on the line? It's me, Mucko. You might think I'm saying a little bit different today because I do, because I'm coming live from a big open room in Byron for my sister's wedding. It's the best, it's the best studio setup I've got, guys. It's not like you've never done this before. All right.
Starting point is 00:00:29 You've never done it from your sister's wedding, but you've done an... When I do it... An outside broadcast, as we like to say. You've broadcast from a different location on this piece of equipment. We've never had this many queries as to what's wrong with your voice. Who are you? Are you ill ducco? What's going on?
Starting point is 00:00:46 It's been very bizarre. You sound hungover. I don't know if it's just because when I do do it, normally I'm saying like mom and dad's study, so that sounds a bit better. Has it not been as cavernous of a room? Yeah, maybe it's because this room is so gaping. Open? Open, yeah, I think it's probably pretty average for that,
Starting point is 00:01:00 but I couldn't go to any other bedroom because Morgan's asleep in one, flows in the other, my parents are in the other. Yeah, our new reader, who obviously knows the show very well, genuinely asked me who is on the show. I said, that's Tucker. I listen back to the audio. Like, I listen back to some of it. It doesn't not sound like me.
Starting point is 00:01:15 It just sounds like a bad quality version of me, you know what I wonder if, but you know how it's like when you hear your own voice through your own ears, but it's what different to what other people hear. Yeah, yeah. So maybe through the car or through the other speakers, But you can hear me. I mean, obviously it doesn't sound as good quality. But see, I'm looking at you too.
Starting point is 00:01:33 So is my version skewed because I can see your face? If my eyes were closed, go again. I'm closing my eyes. Okay. I mean, obviously, you can hear right now. Who's that? I don't know. Hello, just me.
Starting point is 00:01:44 How bizarre. It is weird. It's strange. We never had this. Maybe, I don't know. At least they didn't say, geez, he's fantastic. This guy, much better than, you know, it's not like they went on. Jesus, you guys, he's got really good.
Starting point is 00:01:53 He's hit the ground running. That would just put a case for me to never be in the studio. to do the show. Oh, we need him. Yeah. Oh, well, no boss love that. I also think it's because I'm, because I press the buttons and anchor sometimes, I think, just because I'm coming off the song, and people, it's the first thing they hear. So people are just like, oh, what the hell's that?
Starting point is 00:02:10 It wigs them out a little bit. It does, absolutely. And that energy you've brought to the show today via the hammock, you know, just change things up a little bit. It's just changing. Nice and relaxed. We just like to keep people on their toes. We do.
Starting point is 00:02:21 I mean, there's nothing we could do. It had the rural wedding. Yeah, exactly. I actually did ponder doing the show from my car because I was like, well, that'll sound the best, but also I didn't have an extension lead to get power for our equipment. I need to be plugged in, of course. I'm a plugged in guy. Can you not do, is the lighter still a thing in cars?
Starting point is 00:02:39 It's not, is it? No. I don't think my car has one. Some cars. I don't think mine has either. I don't think mine does, no. Because one of those, I've used that same system, obviously, a couple of times myself. One of those ends does look like it could fit into a, you know, that sort of cylindrical
Starting point is 00:02:53 plug hole? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Would you put that in a lighter? Possibly. I wouldn't actually recommend. It'll be a different... I don't know tech things. It'll be a different voltage anyway.
Starting point is 00:03:03 It's the voltage. There you is. I used to have one of those in the bug. Of course you did. Yeah. But when you were just lighten up your dance. Hey, Babs. You haven't seen you this morning.
Starting point is 00:03:11 How are you, Babs? I'm good. I've been here the whole time. Yeah, oh, geez. She's been working overtime. Yeah, you've been loving it. And I'm shy and I'm shogga, have you been enjoying the buttons over there, mate, you know?
Starting point is 00:03:20 Yeah, it's fine. That's been too active on the buttons, which I'm grateful for. Yeah. It's been... It's been very smooth, I must say. You too, just like dance partners there. You're like Bob Irwin and his partner on Dancing with the Stars. He's going to win that, he's going to win.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Oh, man. He is getting absolute applause. No, I hate that he's going to win, but he's going to win, but he's going to wharf. He's always cringing everything he does. Barrassing. I don't care. That guy is... I really like people are going, you can just tell the work ethic because his blood is just very...
Starting point is 00:03:49 Everyone's making jokes. They're like, his feet is so light because he runs away from drop-bed. and stuff. Great American jokes at the Aussies expense. Dad reckons he can dance. Dad says, he looks like he can dance. I know, but it's just his over-the-top smile. So in that pairing, is his partner Whitney?
Starting point is 00:04:06 Yes, Wab. So between, like, Bob and Whitney, that's you and Shagai. Yeah, it is. You can be Seaggart. You'll be Whitney. And we'll just dance. I don't clear, but let me see her. Yeah, baby.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Because you guys know I can twerk, famously, you've all seen it. I'd love to see you do the jive to this one. times in one day. Yeah. Lucky you. I know. I've been showing everyone my twerk lately.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Sorry, Dr. Can we circle back? Is your dad up with Bob Irwin on dancing with his side? Yeah. Dad reckons Bob's moving pretty well. Is he up with the American,
Starting point is 00:04:36 you know? What's his take on? You know you with Mom and Dad when we're getting in last time. I'm like, oh, we've just got to watch the latest episode of The Block. They put the Block on.
Starting point is 00:04:44 They keep the Block in business. They really are. I don't know. People are still watching that. I was like, where's the Blockinator? Is he still on here? My favorite marketing thing ever was the block.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Channel 7, 7 a block. It's Channel 9. Channel 9, 7 a block. And it's only 7 a block on a Sunday night. They really should have commandeered that for the rest of the week. They should have, but anyway. Anyway, but no, you've got a chuff off.
Starting point is 00:05:07 I think does your runchete start now? It starts, yeah, I've got at 10 a.m. 10 a.m. I'm on the clock. I was paying out my sister about the brunchier yesterday. She's like, did you speak about it on the radio show? I said, yeah, yeah. We did, when were you a bridezilla? And she's like, really? I go, no.
Starting point is 00:05:20 No, I'm just joking. I'm just fucking with you. I spoke about the run. She's like, what did you say about the run sheet? I was like, oh, just, you know, jackets off, jacket's on. She's like, well, I think it's pretty normal. And I was like, oh, I don't think I've ever seen one. I can't wait.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Can we actually call Laura? Let's give her, are they going on a honeymoon straight after the wedding? To Nusa, yeah. Okay, let's give them till after the honeymoon and call her and go, now can you see it for what it is. Let's see if the goggles come off. Yeah. And she, you know, it's funny when we did the Bridezilla topic yesterday, Ducco.
Starting point is 00:05:49 I had swimming lessons and got in the pool and my swim teacher. my swim teacher. Luccia swim teacher goes, that was my celebrant who called. Remember that the caller who said, I'm a celebrant, the stuff I've seen? Her husband had heard it
Starting point is 00:06:02 and he got his back up straight away about to say, is she about to talk about us? Because he just recognised her name and voice. And it wasn't their wedding. But small community, everyone knows everyone. So I'm not surprised your sister heard that.
Starting point is 00:06:15 She obviously was the subject of our content. 100%. Enjoy it. Mum just looked at her. Mum, Morgan, I'll just get used to it. Take it out, coming up. Jess and Ducco in the morning.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Stop what you're doing and listen. You know I got the shit that you like. There's only one show to wake up for you. I'm not that easy to hang. Jess. I put something in my mouth the other day that had not been in there for a long time. I ain't got to explain. Don't eat your sister's poo.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Stop pooing on the day. I got him going insane. Like when you buy a fanned Thailand. You only get it in a bag. Not brats. Corrid sausages. Yeah, I'm talking. This is Jess and Taco.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Yes, it is right on 6 o'clock. Hey, welcome to a team. Welcome to Thursday. Thursday's looking a little bit different right now because I'm broadcasting live from the Royal Wedding. That's right. You've chuffed off up north. Your sister has rallied the troops early.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Yep. To be fair, you have about 15 jobs at this wedding, so I appreciate it. You need it to be nearby. Last night got in, I'll tell you about my seven and a half hour road trip up north to the pilgrimage to Byron but got into Byron last night and mum was making us spag ball. We weren't eating until about 8.30.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Everyone's cracking bottles of wine and Laura's like, Nick, have some drinks. And I said, well, I've got to, I've got to work tomorrow. She's like, oh, what? Sorry, you haven't cleared your whole week for me. Yeah, yeah. What do you mean? Tomorrow's Thursday. I was like, yes, sweetie.
Starting point is 00:07:43 She thought it was a public holiday the day before her wedding. The same way, you know, the AFL has the day before the public holiday so you can have the parade. And she got the parade happening today. She thought, oh, everyone's got the day off. Everyone's got that day off. Why don't you? Anyway, so I had to pull back from the red wine, but they all had a good time.
Starting point is 00:07:59 I love that for your family. To be fair, I pulled into work today, didn't see your car and I went, ah, Friday, it's the Royal Wedding Day. I went, oh, no, no, it's Thursday today. I better make sure I come tomorrow. It's a head trip, isn't it? Yeah, I've been winging out not knowing what day it is. But we're here and we're doing the show, and Shiger's on the pots and pans today.
Starting point is 00:08:17 I'm in hot seat. Ducko, I've walked in, and this happens every time that you've been away. That's a few times, but I've been. into the studio and the way, you know, it's all set up, the door comes straight with the view of shy guy and you could feel and see the vibration of nerves. No, no, no. Something was, I think, had gone awry, so he was already off kilter.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Yeah, the system wasn't working. It wasn't loading and I was like, we can't start the day like this. Just from his body language hunched over because the guy's seven foot tall hunched over. I was like, mm-hmm, skeletal is not happy. I fixed it, so we're all good. Yeah, you've got to treat that,
Starting point is 00:08:52 that desk right, Sharga. You really do. If I was there right now, I was going to say, if I was there right now, I'd play the family guy sound effect. And that's what I do with the buttons when I roll in. That's how you warm it up.
Starting point is 00:09:06 That's how I warm it up. Because Ducco, if you look at something regularly, you know where things are. I don't look at your screen regularly, so I don't know where things are. I can only look at so many things and go, taggy boobies. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:09:19 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ducco's four plays a little. little different to shy guy's foreplay but it's foreplay nonetheless I get in at like 4 a.m and I just start heating that desk out you know absolutely it needs a warm up yeah because you know what no offense to you shy guy but ducco's been in a relationship for a long time he knows how to keep you know another party satisfied and it's all about four play yeah it is but you as a single bloke you go I won't get straight to the action no mate no take it from me it's four play we'll get there it's all right we'll be here the penetrator very cool are you taking
Starting point is 00:09:51 a phone of me, Jess, because my mic sock, I look like an idiot, don't I? Yeah, you do. Mate, Schoke made me put a sock on, I couldn't. Actually, take it. I don't think it's given the effect that I wanted it to. Shaka's making me put a sock on my microphone. It just looked so flaccid.
Starting point is 00:10:03 You found the biggest sock. Whose sock is that? It's so long. I don't have any short socks. Does Flo have a sock? Maybe that will work. Oh, actually, that would be perfect. That's what I used last time.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Oh, Morgan. I'll get Flood's sock. It just was so floppy and flapping around your mouth. It looked like a teenage boy's sock that they put under their bed. It was just gross. It was hanging over my mic. I thought it would make you pop less, but I don't think there's a difference. Have a look.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Jess and Ducker on Instagram story, it'll be up. How is my levels, guys, on air? Is it sounding all right? Everything's sounding good on my mind. It sounds fantastic. I feel like you're holding back a bit. Is the little one sleeping? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Fair enough. She's definitely asleep. Fair enough. Because you usually come at me at the same energy I have. You know, whereas I feel like you, I've just got the tone down a little bit. weird, but I appreciate your next daughter was a sleeping child. And my parents were sleeping in the other room. But, you know, we'll wake him up.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Yeah, my mom and my wife and my daughter. You promised your mom would be on the show. I said that to her last night. So I'm very happy if you're going to wake her up, yes. Yeah, I said, you're going to be on the show, and she did the classic. She was like, no, I'm not. I'm not. And then 10 and Saturday, she's like, well, what do you want me to say?
Starting point is 00:11:13 Yes. Yes, Kay. I'm sure she'll cut with notes. I'm going to get her to read the rules to Alpha Bucks, perhaps. Better than she. shy guy doing it absolutely she even said you know what she said she started doing it off like didn't read the the sheet and she started going oh yeah 10 questions 30 seconds I was like oh here we go here we go I can't even shy guy can't do that when the page is in front of him
Starting point is 00:11:34 Kate's doing it off my heart yeah so I'm gonna save you today sure I could actually do it today I'm more than capable of doing everything today yeah I am but you know what I feel like today's my day to just sit back and watch the team run you know what I mean you're your feet are up I'm quite literally on a couch just chillier When Jess was like, you're pretty chilled. I was like, yeah, I'm feeling fairly relaxed. I'm in Byron. Has your property got a pool?
Starting point is 00:11:59 I know you said your sister's, the bridal suite does. No, but look, it's got a hammock. There's a hammock out there. Should I do the show from the hammock? The next best thing. Okay, what I want, Ducko, at some point, move to the hammock. Don't announce it. And I want to see Rice Cookers, 04-8-8-1069.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Can you tell when Ducko starts hammocking? Text in. I reckon there'll be... Just go, he's a hammock king. He's a hammock king. I reckon he's in the hammock. Yeah, yeah. Because I think that energy will flow through the speakers.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Well, because initially Morgan was like, you're going to need to do the show from outside tomorrow because you're going to wake flow. And I was like, well, it's about seven degrees, but okay. He'll just be in the back. Well, now that we've seen the hammock, that idea, not silly. All right, I'll do it from outside, sweat. Hey, we do have a big show, though.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Business as usual, don't let me fool you into a false sense of the weekend because it is very much business. We have Alphabucks, your chance at $10,000, of course, $6.30 and 8. More chances of that call of fame where you can be off to the NRL final. You guys draw that tomorrow. Absolutely. So, you're made there's a couple of opportunities today, but you never need one, 13, 1060. If something tickles your interest, just call us.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Up next, I got sent a email from Babs, and she was like, you need to cover this tomorrow. It's a new cameltoe trend. And I was like, all right, Babs. I'll cover it if you want. When I think Cameltoe, I do think the Duckman, so it makes sense. Jess and Ducko Breaking Cameltoe news Yeah
Starting point is 00:13:23 There's a new manicure Thank you Good job I forgot about that The delay anyway Yeah I forgot about that Want to really make it clear
Starting point is 00:13:34 Shy guys on the buttons today As Ducko broadcasts from Byron Bay ahead of his sister's royal wedding So it's going to sound a bit different Yeah he's going to fire off things left right and centre Ducco you be prepared Be ready This is what it feels like to be on the other side of that
Starting point is 00:13:47 Ah, the humble recorder. Good morning, Enya. Yes, there's a new manicure, the cameltoe trend that Bab's all excited about. It's called Tabby Nails. Might be pronoun. Not sure. Decorative fingernail that mimics the split toe style of the popular, albeit polarizing Tabby Shoe. Now, I didn't realize...
Starting point is 00:14:08 Hang on a minute. Tabby Shoe, Camel Toe, Tabby Nail. There's a lot to unpack here. So apparently the Tabby Shoe is mimicked off the last. lady camel toe. Well, I mean, I suppose you could say not the lady, probably the camel of the camel which is what we get the lady camel toe off. Have you seen a tabby shoe? Yeah, I'm looking at one right now. I've never
Starting point is 00:14:27 seen one before. I've not seen that. That is the ugliest footwear I've ever seen. That's what Bab said she's just got. Is that real? She's got some of those. Yeah, yeah. She really likes it. Have you had a look? I'm Googling it now. Oh my God. Yeah, so it's basically, for those obviously listening, it is just a shoe that looks
Starting point is 00:14:45 like it has a split in the middle and it looks like a camel's toe. Dougo, when you're looking at the shoe, is that just your big toe on either side? Because it almost looks like it's too much too centred. It could be your first and your big and your second toe. Yeah. Oh, you're right. Because you're not like a thong.
Starting point is 00:15:03 It is a thick big toe. You know, a thong you would put obviously just your big toe. In between the big and your four little guys are on the other side. This almost looks too centered. It does, doesn't it? But that wouldn't be a good split if you had your big toe and your rude finger toe on one side and then the other three toes on the other. That would be very painful.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Yeah. So hopefully it's just a big toe. I don't know about the... You have to ask Bab, she is the Tabby expert. She is the camel toe expert. So now, because girls are loving this because it's sort of like that yes, like release the toe vibe. Free the nipple, free the toe.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Yeah, you know how it is. I've always been a big toe guy. I've, people got free the nipple running. I was always, you know, let the toe out, kind of vibe. Val, you know how I feel about toes. I'm happy to suck them. Don't want to put it in that. disgusting shoe, though.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Even I have my limits. Yeah, yeah. So now you can get these tabby shoes. You can get tabby nails, which essentially mimics the shoe. So it's like you're getting nails that have the camel toe split and the split comes over the finger. That's taking the internet via storm. It's a new trend.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Oh, my God. That is horrific. Yeah, so now you can, yeah, you can now get cameltoe. If you run with a cameltoe Monday to Friday, just with what you wear, you can now get it on your shoes and your feet. So the carpet can match the drapes. Doggo, your wife is a nail girlie. Like, of all the beauty, of all the beauty procedures, she's nails.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Mm-hmm. If she rolled in with these camel toe fingernail manicure, how would you feel? I would, because I think, you know, I think nail is one of the great waste of money in time as it is. And she's like, I've got a nail appointment. It's going to cost like $300 and it's going to take four hours. And then she comes home and she does one thing. And she's like, oh, I'm broken. I'm like, what was the point of that?
Starting point is 00:16:46 100%. And you know what annoys me when she's got a long friggin shalack nails? Or what's the one where she builds it? Bayab. Biag. Whatever. She can't tap anything. On her phone, she just can't.
Starting point is 00:16:59 She looks like Edward Scissor hands. Just trying to tap anything. I'm like, how do you wipe your butt? Surely you are scratching your rectum every time you watch. You would get so, no. You are piercing shit tickets. Yeah. Long nails.
Starting point is 00:17:10 And that is danger territory for your soft of starfish. It makes no sense. Couldn't agree more. She's in the other room. How about I just. Honey, how do you wipe your butt with those nails? Hey, you know what you should do? Send a picture to your sister ahead of her wedding tomorrow, being like, hey, Morgan's
Starting point is 00:17:27 just got her nails done. Are these okay for the bridal bag? Free the toes. Yes and daco. Welcome to Thursday. Hey, your chance of $10,000 with Alphbucks up next. I'm doing the show from Byron for the Royal Wedding, but shy goes on the button. So you might be your day to win, you know, you never know.
Starting point is 00:17:42 You never know. Things are a little topsy-turvy, and I'm going to throw a spanner in the works here. Ducco. Hey, shy guy, take us to Norway. That's a tough carry for the big guy. Hey, shy guy, tip from me to you. I just use the German bed for all Nordic places. I don't even know of this. Oh, yeah, you mean Norway?
Starting point is 00:18:02 There we go. Oh, we're in Norway. There we go. That was some great teamwork there, boys. Let's keep that for the next two and a half hours. It's because I know the feeling of the anxiety when everyone's waiting for you to press a button, mate. I got you, you know what I mean? It feels like an hour even though it's about 10 seconds.
Starting point is 00:18:15 The issue for you, Duccoe, Is you too good? So you always execute. So pardon me for constantly throwing grenades at you. And here I am. There he is. It is fun, though, watching him struggle. Maybe I'll let him sit in it for a bit longer.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Yeah, let him. How's he going to learn? Do you know how diamonds are made, Ducko? Under pressure. Under pressure. So true. That's how I was formed, Shogar. Right now, we're in Norway.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Yes, we are. Because, oh my God, Babs, you love this. We're on a cruise liner called Bliss. That's just the name of the bog. Swingers cruise? No. Unfortunate. Oh, look, who's to say? Yeah. That's not why this particular cruise line has gone viral. They've gone viral because they've got a water slide on board.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Now, apparently this water slide gets quite the attention because it does a loop-de-loop. So you start in a glass case. Yep. Hey, Shaga, you start in a glass case. I'm in a glass case of emotion. Good boy. It really pulls you behind the curtain, doesn't it? When you have to coach out loud.
Starting point is 00:19:20 I was ready. I was waiting for a gap. I said glass case and pause. What walk did I've done? Oh, that was better. That was the better timing. So, Ducker, you start in a glass case, and then it's one of those ones at the bottom just disappears,
Starting point is 00:19:33 and you shoot down. I've done those before on many a time on national television. On a cruise liner? No, not on crew. I've never been on a cruise, you can't catch me dead on one of those. But I've done it at water parks, and they are actually very nerve-wracking. Oh, my God, standing there waiting for the bottom to fall out from underneath you.
Starting point is 00:19:49 I am not a water slide fan. In fact, I'm 34 and I look you in the eye. I don't think I'll ever go on a water slide again. Have you ever been on? Oh, you've been on one before. I've been on one. I've done wet and wild up north. Yeah, you can't care for it.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Didn't care for it. You go on with Lichia, wouldn't you? See, I think that's going to be an Angus domain. I think that he'll be. I'm happy with a roller coaster. Laugh a roller coaster. You're not strapped into a water slide. They are death traps, but this one...
Starting point is 00:20:16 All right. It's dramatic. They are scary. All right, Grandma. Give me a whole stuff. They can be scary. Give me a whole stuff and a hunts. I went a while that I nearly died.
Starting point is 00:20:27 So this one, this poor woman, this poor Norwegian tourists. Yes. The floor comes out from under her. She shoots down, but because it's got the loop to loop, she didn't have enough momentum. She didn't have enough velocity. She got stuck in one of the loops. Oh, that does scare me.
Starting point is 00:20:42 She's just... It doesn't look like. Like they've got, you know how some water slides have the water, almost like a jet shooting to keep that velocity moving? Creates the wedgy, but at least it keeps you moving. She's gone up and has just gone stuck. She didn't loop to loop. Is she a larger lady?
Starting point is 00:20:57 No, what, I can only see a still from the TikTok that has gone viral. Seven million views, this poor woman, been absolutely shamed. I can't make out. But they do have height and weight restrictions, ducko. So you can't go on if you're gigantic, you get stuck. Well, I've heard of the height restriction, obviously. I'm well familiar with the stick. Because you keep getting rejected.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Yeah, but I've never heard of a weight. You couldn't go on this one. Yeah, that's why I hate, that's why I hate water parks, because it's just embarrassing. But I've never heard of a weight restriction on the, like, do they actually look at someone and go, sorry, so we're going to have to weigh you and chuck them on the scales? How is that conversation?
Starting point is 00:21:31 Because it says you can only be minimum and maximum weight, 120 to 300 pounds. I don't know what that is in kilograms. We've established we're not too good about it. Actually, you know what, I'm not doing anything. I can look at that. You can Google off. What did you say it was?
Starting point is 00:21:49 Between 120 and 300 pounds. What's 300 pounds in kilograms? 120 pounds. It's 54 kilos. Okay, so 300 pounds? Yeah, 300 pounds would be a bit more than that. 136 kilos. That's a point each to you, Ann Babs.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Thank you. But you're right, Daco. If someone rolls in and you think they're tipping 135, do you go, a set of scales here, Sir, could you just stand on those? Because otherwise you'll get stuck in our tube. And it's always a casual, like, it's usually like a 20-year-old something who's just like they're doing a summer job.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Absolutely. Has done a two-week online course on life-saving and how to get someone out of a water slide should they become stuck. Would you rather, if you were that person on the slide, pressing the red button to make them go and whatever, would you rather get the embarrassment of weighing someone having to ask them or just go, I think this person's too big,
Starting point is 00:22:38 but I'm going to let them go down and just see what happens. Oh, my God, 100%, because I think I'd be happy to quit. and just run away from the job. I wouldn't carry that. I'd turn it up. Jess and ducco in the morning. Jess and ducco's 10K alpha bucks on hit. Alphabet bucks.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Yes, 30 seconds to answer 10 questions, all starting with the same letter. Have to take your first answer. Can't use the same answer twice. And if you're unsure of the question, you can say pass. Of course, we come back. If there is time, we are playing for $10,000. Our player today is Brooke. Hello, Brooke.
Starting point is 00:23:13 How are you guys? Oh, Brooke, we're pretty good for a Thursday. Things look a little different with Ducko Broadcasting from Byron for his sister's wedding. But that doesn't mean we don't have this 10 grand and it needs to get into your bank account. The question is, are you going to take it office? Yes, I am, so I'm going to take you all to wet wild so you can go on the water slide. No, thanks. No.
Starting point is 00:23:37 Oh, we're going on the water slide with Brooke. Do you know what, Brooke? I would love to go on a holiday with you. I'm happy to watch the bags. I'll be the show mum that sits at the bottom of the slide with all your bags and the towel and I help you pick your wedgey out
Starting point is 00:23:50 once you've come down a bit too hard and fast Okay Right, yeah, it sounds good I'll go on the hurricane with you, Brooke We'll do a couple of slides together Yeah, you can go on that What's that one in the donuts? You know, you sit in a donut each
Starting point is 00:24:04 And Calypso Bay You can just cruise around He knows he sporters slides Oh man, I've been to went wild that many times Thank you today's show Well I wish I could say your letter was W, Brooke, because that would have been great synergy. You're actually going to work
Starting point is 00:24:16 with L. Excellent. L for... Oh, Lagooner Island. Another fantastic feature at Wet and Wild. Thank you, Doug. Are you ready to rock, Brooke? I am. All righty, let's do what your time will start after the first question. Starting with the letter L, we need you to name
Starting point is 00:24:35 a fabric. Linen. Something fast. Limmo. A movie. Lamb's vacation. A drink. Lemonade. An app. Lecanter.
Starting point is 00:24:51 An adverb. Longingly. Something in the bathroom. Legs? A male actor. What, sorry? A male actor. Liam Newton.
Starting point is 00:25:05 A five-letter word. Leibot? We had some interesting ones there. So I go, don't just throw that thing out there. You've got to wait. I waited. I thought I waited appropriately. I think we got ourselves either seven or six, possibly five.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Let's go through them. A movie. What did you say for a movie? Lamboons. You said Lampoon, but Lampoon. National Lampoons. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we can't give that.
Starting point is 00:25:34 It could have been love, actually. A drink you got, an app. You said to Kanto. Now, is that an app? It might be. I'm not heard of it. Lankto? I'm not sure what it was.
Starting point is 00:25:43 What's that app, Dubrook? It's pretty dodgy. Is that dodgy because it doesn't exist? Or is that dodgy because... No, absolutely exists. So does the number three National Lampoons movie. It's called Lampoon's Vacation. Oh, number three Lampoons Vacation.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Oh, okay. There's an app called The Cantor for a job board. Okay, okay, I guess doesn't sound dodgy. We're asking, we're asking, Brooke, you know? We're learning to it. Yeah, we're all on the same journey here. Either way, don't get 10K. An adverb, lovingly, you were a spot on there.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Something in the bathroom. Legs, I actually gave that to you. A male actor. Yeah, well, I mean, you can see legs now. All legs of a chair, I suppose. Sure. A male actor, yes, a five-letter word you got. Then we ran a time for the rest.
Starting point is 00:26:27 So you got yourself then, all being well. You got yourself seven. You don't get the money. You're not going to wet and well, but you do get a hundred-dollar spender. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. And we're going to give you a Jess and Ducko Giz bit.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Thank you. You're very welcome. Thanks for joining the show. Thank you. Thanks. Hey, we learned something today. Yeah, Lecanto. So it's a dodgy app, as in not like, it's just a naughty app.
Starting point is 00:26:53 It's just a bad run app, I think, is what she meant. I've never heard of it. And are you Googling the Lampoons movie, the third one? Because she was very specific about that. Obviously, it's a favourite of their families. And it's so funny, I was very confident because my husband's favorite Christmas movie is National Lampoons. And so why I felt confident. But that's what I thought it was, too.
Starting point is 00:27:09 He doesn't often talk about the third one. Yeah. Yeah, no, no one sort of mentions. Anyway, it is what it is. It is what it is. Hey, up next, I've got some fantasy news for you guys. Oh, fantastic. Not good.
Starting point is 00:27:21 It's been a while since we've had an update. Oh, the commissioner's coming. Yeah. Fancy lady. Jess and Ducco. Little Florence has arisen. She's risen. She woke up because her room, unfortunately, we're staying in Byron for my sister's
Starting point is 00:27:32 wedding, so I'm doing the show remotely today. And the only room we put her in is the only room in the house that has no protection from the morning sun. So she worked. Full morning Byron's son. At 5.30, she was like, oh, just up and about. And so now her first morning map is going to be at 7.30 in the morning. What I'm hearing, Ducco, is possibly a future in breakfast radio. The lady is an early riser, morning person.
Starting point is 00:27:55 She could be. I think she's a bit of a talent, too, when I get her on the mic and she shows off in front of people. Absolutely. She knows what's up. Who wouldn't think that about their own child? I certainly think mine's gifted. She's going to be special. But speaking about someone who's not gifted, I'm going to talk to you about some fantasy team forama guys.
Starting point is 00:28:10 What's going on? In your three fantasy leagues? Yep. This is the one I'm... If that is the most quintessential daco thing, from zero to 100. No fantasy leagues in 2024. In 2025, three. Three, and I'm commissioner of one.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Now, the one I'm commissioner of is a mixture of some of my mates, some first-time fantasy virgins, if you... Fantasy virgins, if you will. Sorry, my wife's just talking to me while I'm doing a radio show. What's that, honey? What do you need? Sorry? Did she think we're off air?
Starting point is 00:28:36 See, I'm talking this microphone? Like, she just acts like this job. doesn't exist. She asked me to do it outside already today. To be fair, it is. Already rolling her eyes at me. Sorry, what did you need? No, we're good. Okay, thank you. You know, when people meet us, Ducco, and they go, like, out in the wild, they go, oh, you are just like, you are on air?
Starting point is 00:28:54 Yeah, it's not an act. Morgan, she's completely fallen before it. She's like, are you on, and you're not on, no, it's all the same to me. You guys were, you guys, we can attest it this morning at 5.30 when I was telling you a story about how far away this thing was, and I said, it's an hour, and then Morgan cuts in and he goes, it's 50 minutes. Don't lie to the team. I can't believe you tried to lie to us until it was an hour. Anyway, sorry about her guys.
Starting point is 00:29:17 It's going to be a distracting show. No, that's okay. The fantasy team. So basically, I'm friends with a lot of people in this team, and also there's a lot of fantasy virgins in this team, new people. I made a trade for some players. I won't get into the details of the trade because no one's going to understand it, but I made a trade with someone, and essentially it sparked outrage in the community group.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Now, this happened to me last year as well. I brought you out when my friend ripped me off. except this time people were saying I was ripping off my friend who's also in the league saying he shouldn't have traded what he got you've absolutely taken him there you've ripped everything from him people were calling it controversy they were messaging
Starting point is 00:29:52 in the group it's never fired up this much then I was getting private text from people in the group was it almost like calling foul play like Ducker you can't do that to a virgin you've manipulated him you've used mind games this is not in the spirit of fantasy football some people were saying hey which is not a sentence I ever thought I
Starting point is 00:30:08 honestly where's your sportsmanship exactly you will not believe how much growing men get it I feel like three phone calls a week from people trying to negotiate trades with me and then when we don't get it done the hang-up everyone gets really shitty with it
Starting point is 00:30:22 so when I got this trade through people were so upset with what I got I have people calling me being like how could you do that I'd people calling me being like mate good on you that's just business we're talking about fantasy football
Starting point is 00:30:34 that's just business I love the idea that we could like zoom out like a Hollywood movie and you'd all be on a screen somewhere in all your little boxes and you guys are talking to each other and each corner's talking to each other but we can all go look how serious they're all taking it's so serious and the bitching going on behind each other's back like Morgan literally said to me the other day like why are you on your phone so much lately like it's really gone up and I was like it's fantasy I've got three leagues I'm
Starting point is 00:30:58 commissioner this is dramatic I've just done this bad trade I spent all that debriefing my trade to her and she was like I just don't care you know me I'm a details person And when I don't ask you for details, you know it's like, this has gone above money. Jess and Duckow. Ducco, I know you've only been a parent for, you know, five-ish months, going up on six, but have you found you feel like you're doing good stuff? And then the universe just has to, like, knock you down a peg being like, you don't know anything. Yeah, it's like one day you're like, this actually isn't too bad.
Starting point is 00:31:30 I've got the hang of it. And then that night, it goes from a good day to a bad day within minutes. And you're like, oh, God, what am I doing? I stupidly, so my daughter will be two next month. For the past couple of months, I've tried to challenge myself, failed every single day. Why do I keep challenging myself? Today is going to be a no cry day? Like, why do I do that to myself?
Starting point is 00:31:51 As in like, she won't cry. No, not me. Right. That's right. She had to clarify. What a reveal. Is you? Good for you. Good for you.
Starting point is 00:32:00 For her. We'll have a chat off. Imagine if that's how I was like, I need help. Yeah, yeah. Which would have been fine. I know you would have offered it. This got weirdly deep. No, her.
Starting point is 00:32:09 hurts. I come home because obviously Angus has to do the mornings while we have fun here. Yes. So I'll get home, you know, at midday, after a big day on the tools. And I say, today's going to be a no-cry day. She is going to be happy or at least neutral. She's in the terrible twos right now. She's just thereabouts. Every day that fails. I don't know why I stupidly put that pressure on myself. But you do, you get competitive with yourself and with your parenting. You want to set goals where you're like, I have six. You want to tick a box in the day. Yes. Oh, my God. You get it. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:32:39 Yeah. But as I said, every day the universe will go, nah, just come down a peg. You don't know anything. For instance, I'm trying to get Lucia more involved in the kitchen. It's one of my great resentments for myself that I didn't take my mum up on all the lessons and the wisdom that she had in the kitchen. I was a bit too spoiled.
Starting point is 00:32:59 I was like, no, you just cook for me, Ma. And now in my 30s I'm trying to learn. So even at two, I'm trying to integrate Lucia into cooking. But your mum's lasagna. Oh, exactly. You know. But I thought maybe if I can get it. started really young, she'll have this love of cooking and have this knowledge, you know, her
Starting point is 00:33:14 whole life. What a gift I can give her. But how do you get him involved in the kitchen? We have to have appropriate utensils. So I bought her a toddler chef kit. Ooh, who, okay. Which is like cookie cutter mould so she can get involved with maybe doing some easy vegetable chopping in a room.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Right, okay. But there were three knives. Now, knives. They're, I don't think they could. I don't think they could cut. a piece of paper, let alone herself. But my issue is, I was like, what a great parent I am.
Starting point is 00:33:45 She's going to have a love of cooking. She's going to be so independent. We're going to be in, no more screen time. Louie's in the bin. You'll be playing music. Angus is going to come home from work. You'd be like, dinner's nearly ready, and she'll hug him Papa. Yes. Look at the, you know, the potato dish. I've created Papa.
Starting point is 00:34:01 And all she did with these knives, or all she wanted to do, which ensued fights, tantrums, I had to rip them off her, was try and put him in her mouth. I was like, it would appear... The logical point. 23 months. Too young to introduce knives, whether they're one or not.
Starting point is 00:34:18 Were you trying to run her through recipes as well? Lucia, here's what we're going to do. We're going to see here. We're going to chop the onion. We're going to... You know what? Stupidly, I did start with onion. I went, that's probably dumb because it's going to hurt her eyes and she'll hate it. So I got out a cucumber. One of the easiest, gentlest... Oh, I don't know. Have you seen... Have you seen the Kardashians cut cucumbers? They can be tough if you don't know what you're doing. I did make a cucumber go viral.
Starting point is 00:34:38 But I thought that's an easy one because it'll be a satisfying chop. All she wanted to do was eat the frickin' knives. 131060 right now. What went wrong on your watch? Now, you could have been babysitting animals. You could have been babysitting children. You could have been house sitting. But you were in charge of sitting something for someone and it went wrong.
Starting point is 00:35:01 So we have a friend and she lives with housemates. One of her housemates has a rabbit. Apparently rabbits, not the best pet staff. have very messy and they can get quite agro when they're fired up in a situation they don't like the only thing I know about rabbits is obviously the breeding part and they'll eat their young do they eat they young oh god I mean feel free to fact check me I was wrong about Mozart writing twinkle twinkle so now all my trivia's out the window but that sounds ruthless I'm pretty sure a mama rabbit will turn around and go not too many of you well I mean if they make that many
Starting point is 00:35:35 you know they're so fertile that's exactly right I'm made 20s Well, you look pretty good. Yes, they do. Thank you. Good. Well, down. It's not guaranteed, but somehow it doesn't happen. If she's hungry, I'm not saying she just does it for fun.
Starting point is 00:35:47 There's not enough teats for everyone. I may as well kill someone. I've finally got six teats. There's seven of you. Goodbye. See you, Fred. Already named it, too. It gets really attached.
Starting point is 00:35:57 See, that's the dark part. I don't think she'd name them. Surely she's not naming them. Until she decides if I'm eating you or not. Yeah. Smart from the mother. She picks that pretty early on. Anyway, enough about.
Starting point is 00:36:08 that so there's this one rabbit not getting eaten and she's in my friend's house so this friend's gone away for two weeks right and they're like yeah I'm on your rabbit because the rabbit's all you know initially that she was posting on instagram and the rabbit's very cute and whatever anyway she calls us and tells us that the rabbit is getting so annoyed and distressed that her the rabbit's owner is not there that apparently rabbits do this thing when they're angry they come and stand in front of you and they just thump like they just thump their feet onto the ground and thump their butt onto the ground. And it's like them telling you that they're pissed off.
Starting point is 00:36:42 So like a toddler tantrum where they might throw themselves on the ground and bash their hands back and claw. Exactly like that. The rabbit thumps. Is that where the name thumper comes from? Maybe. Is that that character in Bambi? It could be.
Starting point is 00:36:55 So the rabbit's thumping on the ground. And then the rabbit got so on with them. It jumps on the couch and pees all. It's free in this house. It's dirty. It pisses all over the couch. It goes all over the couch. And they got so angry that they blocked the rabbit in the owner's room, whose room it actually was.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Yeah, yeah, if you're going to piss somewhere, just defecating her room. Do it in there. They came in. The rabbit had flipped its little, like, poo box or whatever, like litter upside down. It had weed all over the bed. It had eaten so many of her, like, things, like plants and stuff like that. And it just had completely turned the room upside down. And I was just gobsmacked because I always thought rabbits were just kind, gentle creatures.
Starting point is 00:37:33 I thought they were a bit of a nothing pet. No disrespect to rabbits. I mean, if they're eating, they're young, of course they're not a nothing pet, but I thought they were fluffy, you pat them and they were otherwise happy to chill. That's what I thought, too. They get very angry, they get distressed and territorial, and they thump at you when they're annoyed and evidently pee everywhere else when they're frustrated. So now their house in Bondi, it's like a two-bedroom apartment in Bondi,
Starting point is 00:37:57 stinks of wee, and the owner's, like, room is just completely wrecked. Has the owner come back yet, or is she? No, the owner hasn't come back yet, and they don't know what to. So then they've checked the rabbit in. to a rabbit chateau. Of course there's one of those in Bondi. So they've checked the rabbit into... Sorry, where are we, Paris, France?
Starting point is 00:38:14 What? So there's a rabbit chateau that, like, it's very niche, but obviously there's a market for people who need to rabbits minded. And so the rabbits get minded. And this thing, it apparently costs like a fair bit of money as well. It would be because it's niche. Even though they're small critters, they probably don't need heaps of space. It's so niche.
Starting point is 00:38:30 They go, well, we've got to charge a premium. The dog kennel. Absolutely. Ah, there a dime a dozen. Could you imagine how much thumping's happening in the? the chateau, all the rabbits just thumping around in their rooms. Oh, my God, you've got to make sure they're all either neutered or they've
Starting point is 00:38:42 kept very far apart from each other. Yes. Otherwise, you check your rabbit in, your one rabbit, but you come back with 75 because I had that many babies. So it begs the question, what went wrong on your watch, or did you have to sit a niche, like, animal? Like, a rogue animal. I mean, I'm
Starting point is 00:38:58 this close to buying a lizard and I'll go away for a way, hey, daco, can you go in and feed me cricket? I mean, feed my lizard. See my lizard. Yeah, yeah, the more green is getting fed to... To be fair, I don't know if you can poke holes, man. I've had to do Pam's, like, dinner once and the bloody, the recipe that you leave, the ingredients, the things that this girl needs. She's got that raw organic diet.
Starting point is 00:39:20 She's got the raw organic diet, but the portion of medication she needs and how she needs it and this and that. That's a different photo. That's how much meds is your pet on. And Pam takes that cake. The specific lullaby in the specific tone that you need to sing to her. Babs is going over today, actually, to deal with her. Oh, you've got the, you've got the honour. I do, I do.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Do you want to go to Ben here, Ducker, or do you want to come back? We've got some of the lot. Let's go to Ben. Good morning. Good morning, guys. How you going? Mate, we're fantastic. So your dad was on watch.
Starting point is 00:39:51 My dad was on watch. My wife and I went away just for an afternoon to get a bit of time by ourselves, so not a long time. My dad took my kids, my boy in particular for a little walk around the block. and they saw a billy cart that someone was throwing out in hard rummish. Oh, that's gold right there. That is Grandpa Gold. It is Grandpa Gold. This was about four years ago.
Starting point is 00:40:19 I think he was probably about 76. And in full reminiscence mode, thought he'd be a great idea to teach my son how to ride billy carts. And so to demonstrate, he jumped in the billy cart and went down the relatively steep hill about Codasack and then realized midway down there were no break
Starting point is 00:40:41 Well that's what was being thrown out Grandpa should have checked that first and he slipped the billy cart rated his face
Starting point is 00:40:49 on the road and yeah my wife and I just got this text message with a photo of dad's face all cut up Granddad's in hospital
Starting point is 00:40:58 with the kids because granddad's had too much fun on the billy cart You've been on watch for 45 minutes granddad how has this gone
Starting point is 00:41:04 so wrong so fun Oh, I love it, Betty. That's brilliant. 13, 1060, what went wrong on your watch or what were wrong on the watch? What happened? Give us a call. We'll get you on next. Jess and Ducco.
Starting point is 00:41:16 Jess and Ducco. We're asking, what went wrong on your watch? Doesn't matter what you were watching. Could have been a human. Yep. Could have been a pet. Could have just been the house. What could have been a rabbit in Bondi.
Starting point is 00:41:30 My friend was in charge with caring for her. Like, I think she's a TikToker who owns a rabbit. That's what she does as a job. She went away on one of her many adventures, and the rabbit was... So this is her income, this rabbit. This is quite serious. I think so. They were not only caretaking her pet, but her livelihood.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Yes, and the rabbit started thumping on the ground, just getting really annoyed at them, just coming in and thumping every time that they do and they get frustrated. Then weed all over the couch and they locked it in the room, and it basically flipped the entire room upside down, and the person came back from overseas, and the rabbit had destroyed the house and been checked into a rabbit chateau. We have not received word. If it got knocked up while at the chateau, we know. What they say about rabbits be true.
Starting point is 00:42:08 They are a horny critter. They are. Let's go to Emerson on 131060. Good morning. Good morning. What happened when your dad was watching you, Emerson? So my dad went down to the car. I was, I think, about over one maybe.
Starting point is 00:42:25 And just as he went down to the car, the power went out. And we were staying in this hotel. Mom was at work. and we couldn't get back up and mum was so mad at him he got in so much trouble of course he did of course
Starting point is 00:42:45 can't be doing that naughty dad naughty dad locked himself out let's go to Maciah hi Maciah Good morning guys how you going mate we're fantastic what happened when you were in charge of watching your nephew oh this was back home in the state
Starting point is 00:43:03 So I thought it'd be, you know, a good idea to be like, oh, I'll be the cool uncle. You could sit at my lap and drive the car, you know? Oh, God. Yeah. It was going well until I turned the corner and there's the sheriff. They're like PD. Very good. Calvin and he turned around and then got pulled over and then the brother got a call and his wife
Starting point is 00:43:24 and had to come pick my nephew up. Oh, he wasn't too happy. Who gets the, who gets the demerer points there, Mokai? You or your nephew? Like, has he started? before he's even got a license with some black marks against his name. Luckily, the sheriff was all right. He was on the back roads.
Starting point is 00:43:42 He gets it. Poisonable, as he says. He's an uncle trying to teach his young nephew. But your uncle, say no more. Continue driving young sir. When you're trying to be the responsible uncle, too, that'd be a tough carry conversation. I know, because you want to get brownie points with the kid. But at the same time, getting the police involved, not good look.
Starting point is 00:43:59 Christy, it says here you were babysitting. Yeah, I was about 19, I'd say, and my cousins had three kids under the age of three and they took the eldest to Sydney to go visit the in-laws and I was like, oh, I'll watch the younger two and they were fine in the morning and then I forgot that babies like to sleep after they've been fed and for six hours straight they alternated screaming. Oh, you didn't realize what needed to happen to keep the children calm. Oh, copy. Not at all.
Starting point is 00:44:38 Yeah, I mean... They got back and I was just like, I am never having to. To be fair to you, Chrissy, what 19-year-old does know the schedule of a baby? Like, that really should have been written down for you. They should have been written down. I reckon you get a free pass for that one. That's a thorough, you need a thorough. His instructions of how to look after this little thing.
Starting point is 00:44:56 And good luck. And really, they should have been watching her on the monitor and then been able to message going, you're not doing what needs to be done. Either that or they knew that they had cries as kids. They're like, ah, she's doomed. I don't care. We just need a break. We've got to Nick here on 13, 1060.
Starting point is 00:45:12 There was a guy from your work. Dog sitting, your dog? No, it was a guy at work. He knows his guy. Anyway, he was looking after this guy's dog. And anyway, the house that he was staying at for the week, they have a gate in between the two properties. and the neighbours were quite friendly and stuff
Starting point is 00:45:32 so they used to have beers together. Anyway, he was looking after the dog anyway. He was out in the back having a beer when he got home from work and he realised the dog had this thing in its mouth and he's like, oh, I don't know what that is. You thought it was just a fluffy toy. Anyway, it turns out the dog,
Starting point is 00:45:50 they left the side gate open to the property and the neighbour had to bury his pet rabbit. Oh, which is pretty sad. So anyway, this was two days beforehand, and the guy house didn't know about the rabbit or whatever. So anyway, the dog had dug up the rabbit that they fell in the backyard. The rabbit carcass? Yeah, but it was a couple of days old. It was still pretty fresh.
Starting point is 00:46:19 Yeah. Anyway, so he went up to the dog. He's like, oh, what is that anyway? And then, so anyway, he got it and took it a day. So what this guy did was took the rabbit and washed it in the bar. Oh, God. And put it back in the rabbit cage. And then they had in the afternoon and said,
Starting point is 00:46:45 the weird thing happened, we buried our rabbit a couple days ago. It's turned up in the cage clean. I just, I couldn't believe it. So he thought the dog. on his watch, had killed the rabbit or attacked the so he's not
Starting point is 00:47:02 to get away with these. I'll just clean him up and put him in a little. That's actually genius if you think about it. He's like, well, this isn't happening on my watch.
Starting point is 00:47:08 I'm going to clean up. They'll think it died of its own natural causes. When it was already dead and buried. That's actually, that's actually fantastic. So what are the owners think?
Starting point is 00:47:16 Did they just think it was like this miracle rabbit? Yeah, so anyway, they, um, they caught the rabbit Jesus after that. Jeff and Duccoe.
Starting point is 00:47:29 we draw that call of fame, your chance to go to the NRL Grand Final with accommodation. That's right. You're going to stay at the Ridges Darling Square. These guys always look after us and the rice cookers. It's refreshingly local Ridges Darling Square. Your home away from home. Even if your team's not in the final, Ducko, I've been saying it all week. I reckon this would be unbelievable atmosphere.
Starting point is 00:47:52 I'm getting nervous, Jess. The Bronx are on this Sunday, my team, you know. This is for their spot in the final. They've got to book their spot, but they've got to defeat their team. the Panthers. You've got to defeat the Panthers, my most hated team. The one metric we have is obviously rice cookers who play alpha bucks declaring I'm a Broncos fan and then have to hang up midway because they're sucking so hard.
Starting point is 00:48:13 But that also a very, very Broncos thing to do. Hang up midway and then come back and still kind of do okay. You know, like it's just a weird way to go about it, but I can see it happening. But yeah, it wasn't a great metric. It's made me more nervous. How one thing to go by, I reckon the Broncos are going to capitulate. And I'm sorry they're not going to book their place in the final. But let's see what happens.
Starting point is 00:48:35 You'll be there. Absolutely. Let's see what happens with the call of fame. Yep. Up next, though, hey, you're the song time. You know, I can't believe it's been an hour and a half ducker. We've not asked shy guy once, what's the theme today? Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 00:48:49 Today's theme is one-hit wonders because today is one-hit Wonder Day. Is it? Like National One-Hit Wonder Day? I don't know who comes over these things. I'm sick of people just. making up days, but geez, it works well for a year of the song, and you can latch on to something. There's a lot of great one here, wonders, out there.
Starting point is 00:49:06 Yeah, there are some good ones. Okay. Jeff and Ducko. Happy Thursday, Team 744. I'm, of course, doing the show. If I do sound a little bit different to that. If I sound a little bit, you know, like I'm not on the studio, it's because I'm not. I'm recording this from Byron Bay for my sister's royal wedding.
Starting point is 00:49:20 You're in a hammock at a beautiful Airbnb that you've hired for the week, as your sister has declared, this is my week. Your family will be uprooted. I don't care what your commitments are. I don't care who you are, what you do. You will work around me. I've had people message me saying, yeah, people message me saying you sound distant or far away or like you're sick. You literally are.
Starting point is 00:49:41 Yeah, yes, I am. But as you constantly remind us, Stucco, it's BAU, business as usual. Yes. Just because the wedding is upon us doesn't mean we don't have games to play. And it's one hit wonder day Another one of the great made-up days Shy Guy's going to hit us with a bunch of one-hit wonders We're going to tell him the year
Starting point is 00:50:04 That they were wandered That's right And we'll start with eagle-eyed cherry Oh This is one of my favourite songs Have you bat this up as a banger? I have, yeah as a banger I didn't get up, I don't think
Starting point is 00:50:18 But save tonight is a great song I could not tell you even a decade Yeah this was 80s 90s, naughty Now, this is, I think this is early O's. I remember singing in an ad first. It was on an ad once. And I was like, what is that song?
Starting point is 00:50:34 I'm pretty sure I was in high school. I was about to ask, what have they gone on to do? Nothing. It's a one-hit wonder. It's a one-hit wonder. All right, I'm texting you in my update, shy guy. Jess is in at 03. You're in at 02.
Starting point is 00:50:48 The correct answer is 1997. Wow, it was 90s. Yeah, 97. Jeez. Second. Ninety-seven. Second song, Katrina and the Waves Walking on Sunshine. Because you know what happened after this one got big?
Starting point is 00:51:04 No. The waves went, we don't need you, Katrina. Yeah, the waves moved up. The waves moved on. Why did they? Because this feels like this would have been a whole surf rock album, you know? Yeah. Once you make a song this good though, it's hard to top that.
Starting point is 00:51:20 You know what I mean? While you're ahead, says Katrina and the waves. Walking on Sunshine, geez. See, if you talk about it. me, that was 88. Walking on Sunshine, what you do you reckon that was? You can't vote a friend? I'm asking my dad.
Starting point is 00:51:30 The family in the house? No, I'm asking Chris Allen. Oh, so you've got good generations in your... Dad's, Dad'd be good at this, I reckon. What, you do you reckon, Dad? Dad said 94. I'm going to lock in 94. All right, I'm going to go 89.
Starting point is 00:51:40 89 for Jess. The correct answer is 85. Oh, it's 85. Oh, dad, you sigh. I messaged Chris in the moment being like, throw him off. And he did. Get him. All right.
Starting point is 00:51:52 Next one here, one does sigh. Ganym style. Oh, gung, gung, I mean, I might have been a one-hit wonder, but the most streamed song for a... On YouTube at the time, yeah. Yeah. Jeez, where was this?
Starting point is 00:52:04 I can't... Was it COVID days? It was pre-that, I think. You're gonna be pre-the-vis. I think it was pre-COVID. I swear it was. Like the lady. This was like...
Starting point is 00:52:15 This went as gangbusters as I did because we had nothing else to do. I'm gonna say... I'm gonna say... I'm gonna say this is like... Uh, 2010. Are you joking that old? Gosh, I'm going to go a decade later.
Starting point is 00:52:30 All right, Jess is in a 2020. You lock in 2010? 2010, yep. All right, the correct answer is 2012. Ooh, I was calm. I am gobsmacked. I'd also like to know Ducko text once and then gave up on texting. You just started yelling it out.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Yeah, it's more fun. You know, we're in audiovisual. Yeah, just yell it out now. Oh, actually, you know, I'll get Dad to play the next one as well. Wait, so should I keep whiteboarding? No. No, you keep whiteboarding. Anything goes.
Starting point is 00:52:55 All right, on the one hit wonder's edition of Europe, the song, the next one hit wonder is Katie Tunstall, suddenly I see. Oh, one of the great tracks. This was the song that me and Bath used to drive to work to every day in her Beatle. We're just like vibing, you know. This is the, I think this was the opening credits. Dad, Casey Tunstall, suddenly I see. For so you think you can dance, which I loved. But it certainly wasn't because it was a new song.
Starting point is 00:53:21 Hold on, Dad and Mum and Dad are working this out. Mom and Dad are working this out. Devil We're Prada. Yeah, come on. I'm going to need a dancer. Yeah, they're right. It's Devil wears Prada, isn't it? That's what it was.
Starting point is 00:53:30 To the dad, my dad is saying, hold on. We're locking that in. Hold on. Mom's now saying no. Hold on. But it was also so you think you can dance? 2001. We're going to lock in.
Starting point is 00:53:38 Oh my God. That's early. 2001 for DACO. I'm going to say 1998. Okay. Have I'm all the way off? It's 2005. Oh, it's 05.
Starting point is 00:53:49 It wasn't like I was 20 years off. No one's got any points yet. Let's see if we can get a point with the freestyle. and push-up. Oh, freestylers, push-up. Push-up. Chris Allen knows this. I'll give a bonus point.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Dad, you don't know freestyles and push-up, dude. Yeah, go on. I need help to. That's Bob. No, Dad doesn't know this one. My dad's in a French prison. I don't know if he has access to his phone. You don't have some French prison
Starting point is 00:54:13 for trying to make love to his wife. You know, they still haven't replied to me, Ducko. I actually... Yeah, well, we heard that article yesterday. The French news. Any ideas, Dad? What was the song? Push-up. Push-up by the Freestilers.
Starting point is 00:54:23 I'm going to go 9080. again. Okay, Jess is it. Something's going to be in the late 90s. Sorry, Dad's now playing another game with Morgan. Okay. Sorry, Dad, I'm just live. Once again, you guys aren't respecting the craft of radio.
Starting point is 00:54:36 They don't know where on it. They were literally mid-chat to me. They just stopped. I'm like, oh, let's do the... I'm like, what are we doing here? Okay, sorry. Now, I've got to think for myself. Freestyles push-up.
Starting point is 00:54:46 I'm going to say that is 2006. And what were you, Jess? 98. 2004. Oh, no one's to get a single point. Maybe you can get one with Big Mountain. Oh, big mountains. You're telling me big, no, singular.
Starting point is 00:55:05 You're telling me Big Mountain when it went on to do nothing else. According to Apple Music. Couldn't have told you Big Mountain created this song. You know what, Dougo? I've got no idea. Can you, okay, closest within the five-year range, I think. I'm going to say 95. Okay.
Starting point is 00:55:22 What are you answering? 98. Oh, sorry. It's 94. So Ducco will win that. But I was also in five years. Yeah, but he was closer. Yes.
Starting point is 00:55:31 A big contention in this show is the rules. Now, I normally read them. I'm away today at my sister's wedding, which means tomorrow I won't be doing the show. And shy guy, Jess, is doing the rules. Yeah, and you know how I feel about people not getting things to 100%. You know what I mean? And there's just been an issue every time.
Starting point is 00:55:52 I think I know it at once. Nope. Even though he has the piece of paper in front of him, which has not changed for 10 years we've been playing this game, his eyes betray him, his tongue betrays him, his brain fails, and he cannot get the rules. The number of times he has said 30 questions, 10 seconds, stucco, rendering our player very scared.
Starting point is 00:56:15 Because that almost feels impossible. So what I thought we could do here to put this to the test is my mum's here, because obviously I'm, shout out to everyone who's messaging saying, Who's on the show? Where's Darko? Is he sick? What's going? I'm doing the show from Byron, if it sounds a bit weird. Look, the guy's in a hammock, all right? He's just really living his best Byron life. I'm just cruising, you know? Nothing's wrong with me, man. In fact, I'm too chill. I've had too much rescue remedy.
Starting point is 00:56:37 I'm going to put Mum on. Mum, Kate, is going to do the rules of Kay team. Now, this is a great, it's going to be a great slap to shy guy. I'm very okay with Kate. If Kate can do it now, Kate, good morning to you. Good morning. We've got you out of bed. to do this, Dal. Now, I really need you to stick it to Shy Guy in this moment. Firstly, how you're
Starting point is 00:56:58 feeling ahead of Laura's big day tomorrow? Oh, look, I'm super excited. Can't wait. Yeah, it's going to be a beautiful affair. Royal wedding, baby. We're ready to go. Very good. I know you've probably got a full day of activities and appointments, so we won't take up too much of your time. Can you stick it to shy guy right now? Give us your best Alpha Bucks rules. 30 seconds to answer 10 questions, all starting with the same letter. If you get all 10 Questions correct, you can score 10,000. We must take your first answer, and you can't use the same answer twice. And if you're unsure of a question, you can pass and we'll come back to you if there's time.
Starting point is 00:57:33 Hang on, hang on, hang on. Kate didn't specify 10,000 watch. 10, 10 out of 10. This could have been 10,000 mattresses. Hey, shut up, she said 10 questions in 30 seconds. That's the key component that you cannot do. Kate, thank you so much for your time. That was beautiful, and has really proved our point. Ducker, you must be very proud in this moment.
Starting point is 00:57:51 Your mum, your mum was absolutely nailed that champion. Didn't she nail that? Didn't she do good? I was proud of her then. Shire guy is absolutely quaking in his boots. She's coming for his job. It's all right. We'll do alpha bucks tomorrow and it'll all be fine.
Starting point is 00:58:03 Call us now. Cool. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Jess and Ducko's 10K Alpha Bucks on hit. 30 seconds to answer. 10 questions all started with the same letter. I have to take your first answer. You cannot use the same answer.
Starting point is 00:58:21 it twice. And if you're answering the question, just say pass. Of course, we come back if there is time. We are playing for $10,000. Our player today at 8 o'clock is Olivia. Good morning, Olivia. Good morning. How are you? Oh, Liv. We are fantastic. Things sound a little bit different with Ducko doing the show remotely from the site of his
Starting point is 00:58:39 sister's royal wedding. The man has many duties. He needed to be on site 48 hours prior. Yep. But it's BAU, Liv. Business as usual. They're still 10 grand sitting under Shiger. and we want to give it to you. The question is, what do you want to spend it on?
Starting point is 00:58:57 Well, the kids and I were just discussing that. We're on the school run, and we thought we might book a last-minute trip for the holidays. Fantastic. Where are you going? Oh, where would we go, kids? Somewhere warm. The Great Barrier Reef.
Starting point is 00:59:11 All right. We go snorkeling. Can I offer a suggestion, Olivia? Yes, please. Norway. Oh, where I am. Because it starts with it. Oh, God, Olivia.
Starting point is 00:59:21 Olivia gets me. Some people, when I give a suggestion, they go, what? I'm like, I'm just trying to give you the letter. Why did you say Norway? Olivia understands your letter is N for Norway. Are you ready to rock? Yeah, I'll give it a shot. Come on, Liv.
Starting point is 00:59:37 Fire up. You've got the kids in the car. It's the perfect environment to win money. Amen. Your time. We'll start after the first question. Let's go. Starting with the letter N, we need you to name an occupation.
Starting point is 00:59:50 A nurse. A sitcom. Pass. A five-letter word. Noses. Something sharp. A nail. A Simpsons character.
Starting point is 01:00:04 Ned. A fruit. Nashy pear. An ice cream flavour. Nitzla. A band? Uh. Nifana.
Starting point is 01:00:17 A shoe brand. Nike. A girl's name. Oh, after the buzzer, you would have got that. It was obviously after the buzzer. That would have made it nine that you got. Yes, you were fantastic. You were literally, with a couple of seconds, but a sitcom away from winning $10,000.
Starting point is 01:00:35 Can you think of a sitcom starting with N now? No, I'm drawing a blank. New girl, or you'd said Nurse for occupation, Nurse Jackie. I love Nurse Jackie. That's great. Is another one. I mean, they probably don't come top of mind. But geez, you are an elite player live.
Starting point is 01:00:51 That was fantastic. Everything else you went through, you got correct. You did really well. You don't get the $10,000, I'm sorry. But you do get $100 at Crox. Thank you very much. And we're going to throw in a Jess and Ducko jiz bit for you, Olivia. The kids will love that.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Thank you so much. Very good. We're only going to give you one, so good luck sorting out who gets it. Can we also have a second? Nashy pear does not get brought up enough on this show. No, it does not. I can love a nashy pair. What is a nashy pear?
Starting point is 01:01:20 It's quite a tart pear. It's almost like a pear and an apple and something sour. I had a baby. Oh, they're beautiful. You just buy them at your local produce store, do you? I bet you've walked past the nashy. Okay. I haven't even noticed.
Starting point is 01:01:33 It's kind of a round boy, and they're beautiful. Good honey. All right, thanks, Liv. There you go. I'm going to get myself a nashy pair today in honor of live. I reckon you'd enjoy it. You like a sour squirm. It's basically the fruit version.
Starting point is 01:01:47 Oh, good. I do like sour. Up next, though, I am up north, of course, for the Royal Wedding, as we've discussed. I need to unpack the card trip we did yesterday with our five-month-old for seven hours. It would have been really easy. Jess and Ducko. The NRL final tickets plus accommodation. This is unbelievable.
Starting point is 01:02:02 All you need to do is chip in two cents. You get your voice on the air, bada-bibing, bada-boom. That counts. Your name is in the pool. That's it. Make it bit innocent, though, because it is a game of skill, not chance. So you've got to be half good. You can't come on and tell us an average story and just expect to be in.
Starting point is 01:02:18 You know what I mean? your Broncos, mate, who called up and then hung up halfway through. I think he's leading the race right now. Absolutely not. Right now, 13-1060. What was a good idea until it wasn't? What backfired in your face?
Starting point is 01:02:35 What backfired? It was a good idea until it wasn't. I, yesterday, we decided because we're coming to Byron Bay. We're here now for my sisters' royal weddings. Obviously, tomorrow. I've got a million jobs. We know all that. But we knew we had to get to Byron. Now, we have a five-month-old daughter, obviously, Florence, and we figured it was easier to drive the, it's a six-and-a-half-hour drive from where we live. We figured it was easier to drive the six and a half hours than it was to fly, say, to Brisbane and drive, or fly to the Gold Coast Airport and then get a higher car and drive.
Starting point is 01:03:05 We just figured we can take all-flow stuff with us. This is the smarter way to go. Travelling with an infant is the freaking worst. And I don't even, we haven't even got to how the journey went for you, just the stuff. The stuff. You need a people mover. You do. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:03:22 The travel pram, the travel bassinet, all the freaking clothes. The toys. The toys. The nappies and the wives, because it's not like their supermarkets. Wait, I need what I know. I need to bring it all. You need to bring everything you know so you're comfortable and you back, you know, dot every eye, across every T, so to speak.
Starting point is 01:03:38 Yes. So we get in the car and Flo loves the car. She's really good in the car, which is good. But she associates the car with sleep. So we get in and we needed to keep her up for an hour and a half for the first leg and then she could sleep. Literally, I reckon 10 minutes into the drive, she's conceded.
Starting point is 01:03:51 She's gone. She's asleep. We're like, okay. I mean, it's a testament to your smooth driving, if anything. Well, thank you. Why my kid hates the car because I'm such a bad drive. Because there's so many things are beeping at you the entire time. So she falls asleep and then she wakes up within, we're like,
Starting point is 01:04:06 okay, maybe she'll sleep for an hour and a half. Then she wakes up within 20 minutes. And then she's wide awake. And we're like, we've barely made it half an hour now, like half an hour, 40 minutes. And she's already awake. So our first stop then came an hour into the, trip because she was cracking it and this is such a long drive that it's already six and half hours no stops we were estimated for this thing to take us about seven and a half hours
Starting point is 01:04:26 yeah but when you're stopping already that soon you're like this is quickly blowing out are we going to get there today if we're going to get into tomorrow god there was some dark thoughts there was literally to cut to our car it was then we get in morgan's playing in the background playing with her trying to do the keys trying to you know give her toys trying to read to her she's cracking it i've got the rain sound effects pumped full ball so we're playing right yeah through Spotify while we're trying to drive to get it asleep. And look, it took us, it took us nearly eight hours. She was really good for the most part, but I've got audio here.
Starting point is 01:04:56 This is the last 40 minutes of the journey, and it was probably like this for the last, like, hour and a bit. This is the, I'm in the back seat now. We've swapped. Morgan's driving the last leg. I'm in the back. And driving is way better than having to take care of the kid in the back. Let me tell you.
Starting point is 01:05:09 So here's the audio. Wow, Flopie. Look at that sunset. So, it's so pretty out there. It's very fast. Oh, it's okay. We're only 40 minutes away from Byron. We're happy, happy, happy, we're a happy floy.
Starting point is 01:05:32 Happy little Chloe, where is happy as happy as happy. Making up songs. It's like, are you happy? Yeah, yeah. And I'm just making up songs. Nothing tests your lyric knowledge, like don't entertain a kid. you've got to make them up half the time. It was like that constant
Starting point is 01:05:49 and then it'll get louder and later and later and then she'd be distracted by the keys and then oh, it was just rough. It got to the point where we were just delirious. Rain sounds playing. We tried all the music. There was a couple of patches where she was screaming. We had to get her out and of course we got her out
Starting point is 01:06:04 and she's completely had a poo Nami and pooed herself and it's gone through the onesie. That's what she's trying to tell you. Shut up. I got the fairy floss sky, dad. I'm uncomfortable. I'm sitting in my own film. We actually did stop her to play.
Starting point is 01:06:16 called, there's like a little place called New Italy or something like that, Jess. We stopped there. I thought of you. Oh, thank you very much. I sent you photos. Little Italy. Sorry, little Italy. I set you photos.
Starting point is 01:06:24 And there was a little Florence poster we got a photo with. But every time we got her out of the car, we had to have four pit stops. She was like, yes, we're done with that car. We put it back in and she'd instantly start crying again. Seriously, because how do you explain? It's just another two and a half hours will be there soon, sweat. When we got in the car and the first hour, we'd made a stop and we had, like it said, the maps estimated we were going to like, we started driving at 11.
Starting point is 01:06:45 And I think we didn't get in until nearly 7pm or like 6.30. It was like, when it said that on the maps, it was just like, what have we done? Seriously, because you're looking at the time to go, but then you do maybe a half hour, 40-minute pit stop and then get back in the car. And it's obviously just pushing the time out further and further and further. It's like on 13, 1060, what was a good idea until it wasn't? It's like when you want to save $100 by going, we'll get the cheaper airline and we'll have like a three-hour layover in this weird airport in the middle of nowhere. And then you get to that airport and the flight's delayed. And you're sitting in there for seven hours.
Starting point is 01:07:15 why did I try and save that $100? Yes, same. I don't have a $2 coin for the parking meter. I'm going to risk it. Bam, $216. Yes. I should have found two bucks. Yes.
Starting point is 01:07:26 Yeah. Okay, 13, 1060. What was a good idea until it wasn't? Can be anything. Doesn't need to be Kibri-L. Give us a call. That call of phone prize, of course. Up for grabs.
Starting point is 01:07:36 You could be off to the NRL grand final plus accommodation. Jess and Ducco. Yes and Ducco. Right now, 13, 1060. involved. Great call for fan prize up for grabs. We're asking, what was a good idea until it wasn't? I mean, you had to get there, Ducco. Obviously, we're talking about your sister's wedding up in Byron Bay. If you think Ducco has a head cold, it's not. It's just, he's broadcasting remotely today. I've heard people message me saying I sound hung over. I sound like I've got a cold.
Starting point is 01:08:03 Made someone question us here in the office saying, who are you doing the show with today? I mean, that's Ducco. They're like, it doesn't sound not like me. It just sounds like a bad version of me. Apparently, we've got Timo Ducco for the day. Oh, how good. That means I can be really average. Damn, I should have used that the whole show? What should we call you, Sucko? No. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:23 I'm not sure I was going to be quick enough on the dump. Yeah. I nearly said it. But yes, I'm recording from Byron for the Royal Wedding for my sister, who was even, you know, gobsmack that I had to work today. My goodness. You didn't clear your whole week. No, sweet art.
Starting point is 01:08:38 Daddy's got to earn a buck. Daddy has a family to pay for. Can report as well. The Wynn Report for tomorrow looking low, so she's quite excited about that. Fantastic. Perfect weather. That ruined your wedding. Nowhere to be seen for her.
Starting point is 01:08:49 Nowhere to be seen. Dad's going nowhere near lifts to be trapped in lifts like he was for mine. But anyway, so we're up here. So we drove our five and a half month old child up in the car, a six and a half hour drive. Took us about seven hours 45. We had to make four stops. It was good in theory until it wasn't when we got in there and you'd either fall asleep, too early in sleep for too long or just crack it, cry and scream and nothing could save her.
Starting point is 01:09:10 Yeah. Even you making up songs about Flow is happy. Happy as a bee. Happy as a bee. Yeah, yeah, it was great. Yeah, bees are happy, you know, until they sting you. Emma, on 13, 1060. What was a good idea until it wasn't?
Starting point is 01:09:24 Morning, guys. I relate with you, Ducco. We took our 10-month-old over to England. Oh, geez, not only is that just a hell of a journey, but then we're talking about time differences and jet lag and all that nonsense. Yeah, and we went from the warm here over to the cold there, so we got every sickness under the sun, and it just ended up being the biggest shift. show.
Starting point is 01:09:45 Yeah, and how was the flight at 10 months? That's a tough age. He still fit in the bassinet. So when it was like sleep time, that was great. But everything else, when it wasn't the, you know, three hours of sleep time was hell. Oh, God. Yeah, that's tough. I think we were just so very naive and dumb.
Starting point is 01:10:03 But at the time, my nan wasn't very well and we had to go over and see her. So it was like we had to do it for now. But I would not do it again. You get over there and you think, traveling with kids is not a holiday. What have we done and where we're so far away? And then that class. you think they're not going to remember it. Yeah, but you will.
Starting point is 01:10:17 That 2% of the trip, that was half decent. Yeah. Beck, good morning. It's like someone's just been to Italy with a kid. Hello, Beck. Hi, guys. How you going? We're fantastic.
Starting point is 01:10:28 Asking, what was a good idea until it wasn't? Well, Ducko, I hope that the wind is better for your sister's wedding than it was for this afternoon that my husband and I decided it was a great idea to go out paddleboarding on our inside of the board. we did get swept out into the middle of the ocean and we had to get marine rescue how did you call for help or did they spot you going
Starting point is 01:10:55 those guys are clearly in trouble we did the distress call we were waving our arms we were yelling out for help three people had seen us on the shore at all at three different spots and they had actually all called marine rescue to come and get us
Starting point is 01:11:13 But, yeah, I thought that we were going to die. I was saying to my husband, there's a boat out there. You go and you just get help and you leave me here on my steps. Leave me here, honey. Save yourself. Were you on sups? Were you supping? Well, I mean, it was my first time.
Starting point is 01:11:31 Oh, yeah. I was sitting down, but we were giving it a go until, yeah, the waves were just going the different direction to what we thought. And all of a sudden we were gone. Ma'am, I've said it once and I'll say it again. Stand-up paddleboarding is stupid. It's horrible. I hate it. Not only is it so freaking boring when it's flat.
Starting point is 01:11:52 Now we're talking about life-threatening, being swept out into the middle of the ocean. Scrap it, people. Scrap it, get rid of it. Danielle on 13-1060. What was a good idea until it wasn't? Hey, guys, how are you? May, fantastic, Danielle.
Starting point is 01:12:07 Good. My hubby and I used to live in far north of Queensland, and, to be fair, it was completely my idea, as per usual, the things that go wrong in our household. We had kids and decided to finally purchase ourselves on the big-ass tents with the three bedrooms, you know, all fancy, with the big room in the middle, for your stuff. We decided to go camping in summer, as we know summer in final Queensland is usually pouring down rain. So we took out the fancy new tent for the first time. My parents came up to help us pitch the tent, and it was Sunder and Lightning the whole time.
Starting point is 01:12:45 And my big fancy idea was to, this trip, we're going to cook over the fire. We're not going to have any cooking equipment whatsoever. So, yeah, it was packing it down the whole time. We were sitting under a little tarp with our little fire, with our little camp oven, absolutely having a ball. The kids were having showers under the tar. Just making memories as a family, Danielle, that special time. It's always so obvious when you're in it too
Starting point is 01:13:13 where you go, why do we not look up the weather? Why do we not think this through? Like, why do we not think any of this through? You know what got invented for a reason? Hotels. Ah, and bomb. And we'll wrap it up here with Blake. This has been great.
Starting point is 01:13:26 13, 10, 60, Blakey. Hey, yeah, what went wrong? I was a good idea until it wasn't. I had a promotion for a job, and I had to go to Sydney and got to the train station. No parking. Train was there about to leave. I made the decision that I'll park in the disabled parking and copped the fine.
Starting point is 01:13:45 I thought that was a good idea, so I wasn't late to the new job. And, yeah, it was a good idea until I found out it came with a $600-odd dollar fine. But the worst part was it comes with a one point demerit point loss. Does it? And I only had one point left at the moment at the time. So, yeah, lost new license for six months. But hey, you weren't late to work, and God, you looked good. You look good in the soup.
Starting point is 01:14:11 And then I was just late every other time because I had no card. Yeah, absolutely. As I've mentioned a few times, we are in the midst of a reno. And I know a lot of people can relate if you've been through either a new build or a renovation. The decision making. Oh, my God. And I always said, God, I'd never build from scratch. Would be happy to buy a place that's already done.
Starting point is 01:14:36 Because thinking about the nitty-gritty things, Like, oh, PowerPoint covers and door handles. I thought that might be annoying enough. But we are in the throes of doing all that. They've gutted the house. They've laid a slab. Things are in motion. But now we're getting to the point, Ducker,
Starting point is 01:14:55 where the builder is saying, hey, what door is going in this space? Because we need to cut out the cavity. Like, what size is it going to be? So we're really at a pressure point of, we've got to make some freaking decisions here. We've got to pick some doors. We've got to pick some bloody doors.
Starting point is 01:15:09 so he knows how big to cut a hole. But I've just noticed, Angus, my husband, very kindly, including me in all the emails, trying to conference me in on phone calls, take me to showrooms, and I've just realised how little I am contributing to this thing.
Starting point is 01:15:26 What? We go looking in a surprise to no one. I meet him at the floorboard showroom. He goes, hey, before you go pick Lechea up, come meet me at the floorboard show room. And I'm like, yes, I want to be in charge. I want to be a part of the floor. board conference. That's a big part of a space.
Starting point is 01:15:41 Yep. And we get in there and I don't know what usually the dynamic is between Renault, but I feel like she's talking to me a bit more. So what sort of square metre are we looking at? And I have to look at her going, what's a square me? I don't understand that metric. So I then defer to Angus.
Starting point is 01:15:57 He gets up his notes. He gets up tape measures. He gets up whatever. We go to the tile showroom. Similar. She looks at me. All right. So when we talk about square meters again, but have you thought about wastage points? in the floor or in the tub, because that's going to dictate,
Starting point is 01:16:11 do we need more or less tiles to fit that? I look at her blank. I go, Angus, have we thought about floor? What's floor race? I have, but honey, have you? Yeah, I'll just, have you got that written down, sweetheart? We're on a phone call with the joinery person yesterday. She's talking about, well, what sort of stove have you picked?
Starting point is 01:16:30 Because that'll impact if the rain should is going to go in or out or above will affect the cabinetry. I went, what's the range hood requirement? And what does that mean? And I can hear it on the phone. Like, you don't even know what stove you're getting? Is that not even a thing you're in? I look at Angus.
Starting point is 01:16:48 Have you got that sweet art? Maybe it's because traditionally, traditionally for the things like the floors and the styling of it and the stoves, that's more the female going, in the relationship going, this is how on the home style and the guys just facilitating it. Maybe it stereotypically isn't like, oh, you know, builder stuff. It's the numbers and the finite is him.
Starting point is 01:17:07 Yeah, yeah. this part becomes, again, stereotypically gendered into the ladies domain, I'm going, nap, I have no opinion, I don't even understand the question half the time. I don't know what's going on. And again, when we look at like the mental load,
Starting point is 01:17:21 I'm like, what am I contributing to this thing? Because all I end up doing, Ducco, is picking the most expensive option, unknowingly, going, geez, that one's nice, cool, that's 250 a square meter. You know what will happen, though. I don't know. He'll pick everything and you'll say, you just pick it, I can't deal with whatever,
Starting point is 01:17:37 you'll get into a brand new house come six to 12 months and you'll go, why is the door red? Why are the floors like this? Why is the floor wastage point there? Jess and Ducko. Just about done here for the day team, but I tell you what, it's been a great show.
Starting point is 01:17:51 I've been doing a bear with me. I've been doing it live from the chateau in Byron ahead of my sister's royal wedding. Absolutely. There's just one order of business I need to bring to your attention, Ducker. You are, I was going to say, taking tomorrow off like you're on a holiday.
Starting point is 01:18:04 You aren't working harder than you've ever worked before. or obviously in accordance with your little sister's run sheet to make sure she has the best day ever. But one order of business. We got a DM from someone named Riley, good friend of the show. Riley actually won. Maybe Gaga tickets back in the day. Or Katie Perry.
Starting point is 01:18:24 Yeah, Riley was Katie Perry. Katie Perry, good friend of the show. DMs us. Hey, guys. Question. I know you've got your little fish tank there. Would you like to take one of my fish off? my hands and add him to your little
Starting point is 01:18:38 ecosystem. Not sure if he'd be too big, but thought I'd give you guys the option. Now, many questions for Riley, what's going on at his house that we need to take his fish. I said what sort of fish, firstly, because if you come back and says it's a Marlon.
Starting point is 01:18:54 Like, we can't take a broom in there in Marlin. Yeah. He said it's a chickled or a sicklead. Oh, yep. I don't... Beautiful little fish, the sicklids. About six to seven centimeters. I said, I'll take it to the Team, how do we feel about introducing another fish to the ecosystem?
Starting point is 01:19:11 I'm okay with it because I've got nothing to do with taking care of that team. So for me, it's quite fun. I think Babs has already killed a fish, so I want to add another one in there to get them to the party. Maybe that's what Riley heard. She'd killed one. Now everything's out of whack. They're all still mourning. Do we replace it?
Starting point is 01:19:27 It's like when your kid's hamster dies while they're on school camp, you replace it by the time they come home. No one's the wiser. No one will know. But also, what will this fish do to our fish? You know, our fish are all in their friendly together. Like, they're all having a good time. They've worked out of their dynamic. Yes.
Starting point is 01:19:44 Is this fish going to be good for the environment? I don't know. Maybe there's too many question marks over it. I'll go back to Riley and say, look, nah. I don't know. I don't mind just people just giving us their fish to chuck in the tank and we just see how many we can get in there. It almost becomes like a bit of a game of survivor, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:19:59 Literally, could this fish come in and wipe out all our fish? Yeah. thus reigning supreme. Why, shy guys, grinning like the Cheshier cat over here. Babbs is shaking her head. Like she doesn't want the fish? No, because I can't take care of it anymore. Well, but you've already killed one, Bab, so I feel like...
Starting point is 01:20:18 That wasn't my fault. It also was one of the extra fish, so we don't feel so sad about that. Ducko, was a bit brother that had intruders. Yep. Yeah, this would be like the intruder fish. Yeah, this is the intruder who comes in midway through the season. Maybe we need to call Gretel Colleen and get her take. What if this fish starts sleeping with the other fish?
Starting point is 01:20:36 You know what I mean? Like, maybe my fish and Babs' fish have this thing. But then this fish comes in and my fish wants this new fish. Your fish are too busy sucking the rocks on the body. Yeah, they are. Jess and I are at the top. We are hungry boys. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:50 Well, I think, go back and tell them we're hearing a yes. All right. She'll do the transition with him. Because one I'll also need is Babbs to go pick up the fish. We can't expect right to bring this fish in. So Babbs clear your schedule. And you know how he'd bring that fish in, Jess? How?
Starting point is 01:21:03 In a bag. Shy guy's favorite. Shy guy's favorite. Yep. Yep. That's how we bring the fish in, I imagine. Make sure you rinse the fanta out before you put the fish in that bag. All right, all right.
Starting point is 01:21:15 I'll go back to Riley. That was just one order of business because I know you're going to be, I'm not going to expect a reply from you for the next 48 hours. Yeah, I'm locked in. Yeah, I'm at a royal wedding. We're going to try and keep the place from burning down in your absence. I've got one more hour of free time for the next three days. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:31 And then after that, it's just on. Fuel up, Dale, because. It's going to be a big one. Oh, goodness me. I'm nervous. You guys make sure it's a good show tomorrow. You've got to give away that call of fame tomorrow. The NRL grand final tickets plus accommodation.
Starting point is 01:21:40 There's been some excellent contributions so far. Let's see if someone's going to Steve and Bradbury it tomorrow. Otherwise, it's going to be a hard choice. Yeah. But that is going to happen tomorrow. Of course, we're going to play Alpha Bucks still. We're going to have a lot of fun. Yeah, well, yeah, you've got Friday bangers.
Starting point is 01:21:54 We've got Friday bangers. Are we wedding themeing it? Are we wedding things? Yeah, you could do that. And are you playing? I don't know. What do you reckon? It feels cruel that we didn't let Babs play last time when this is her real.
Starting point is 01:22:05 This is her jam. If not, I can just get Eskimo. But you know what? Who cares? Let's piss her off. Ducco bat up a song. Eskimo Joe. Is it, no, why is it black think of all's red wine? They've stayed wedding in that, don't they? It's a nice day for her.
Starting point is 01:22:18 No, that's a totally different song. I think that's a different song girl. That's what I was going to go in. Oh, damn, okay. Disregard what I've said. Hold on. Talk amongst yourselves. Let me find a wedding theme song.
Starting point is 01:22:28 You're just thinking of red wine and how much you're going to consume at this wedding. Yeah, well, because I'm so busy working at MC, I don't actually know if I will. Yeah, well, yeah, you're not going to have a little tipple. You're a professional. See, wedding songs are hard because it just comes up with like... I reckon it might be too niche, shy guys. Just regular bangers then. I think it might be...
Starting point is 01:22:46 What about songs you traditionally hear at a wedding? Like, on the D floor, for example, like Roxanne or like... If any of you bat up grease lightning, though, I will eliminate you. Oh, yeah. You cannot play the grease medley. Yeah. I'm okay with that. I'm also okay with that.
Starting point is 01:23:01 And Babs, how do you feel about Ducco playing when you weren't allowed to play when you were away last Friday? I think it's a bit of a cop-out, but whatever. Hey, Babs, I think I've won the last couple. What was the last time? You won't a bit of a while? Maybe I won't play to let the little one win. Do you want to have a little bit? Throw her a bone, Ducko.
Starting point is 01:23:19 That's good of you. I'm a gentleman and a scholar. It's the one where I get up? Yes. I'm on Britney Spears. Hey, you guys have the best show tomorrow. I'll miss you all desperately. I'm sure you'll be thinking about us heaps.
Starting point is 01:23:31 Be kind. to Shy Guy as well, you know? Absolutely won't be. You'll step up. Shape up or ship out, shy guy. Yeah, fair enough. You're on your last legs, mate. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:40 I'm not my last leg. Did you, I don't know if you caught that during the song there, Ducko. Shy Guy was coaching Babs a little bit, so this button does this and this means that. Yeah, you're teaching Babs. The buttons, I saw that. Yeah, she wants to learn so she can do it next time. Okay. We'll watch that.
Starting point is 01:23:51 She can get all the crap from me. Yeah, yeah, she can do that. Maybe we're really good at it. You never know. Could be. You might be Babs. I love the confidence. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 01:23:59 Well, next time Ducko is remote. Yep. Babs is doing it. Babs is on. It's happening. I don't know if the beer next time I'm remote, but it's after today after all the messages I got from people. Anyway, I'm out of here.
Starting point is 01:24:11 We're out of here. You guys have their show tomorrow. See you then. And I'll see you next week. And more the wedding bliss to your sister and her future husband. Bye. Bye. Yes, sweetie.
