A Minecraft movie Happy Meal has arrived at Macca's with one of 12 toys to collect.
Jess and Ducco!
This is the Jess and Ducco podcast.
Welcome to the podcast.
Oh, this is the last time you'll hear just the three of us, because Ducco will be back
after a little break.
We're going to join him on paternity leave.
But my gosh, fun, fun day again, team.
Fun week.
It has been a fun week.
Really fun, real dumb.
I think our collective IQ plummeted.
Yeah.
You know, sometimes when you hang out with people,
you feed off them in positive ways.
You know, if they're really kind, you're seeing all these kind gestures.
So maybe you in turn will become kinder.
I think we just brought each other's smartness.
Yeah, but who was the? Oh, it's absolutely Shaga. You reckon? Wouldn't you agree? Yeah, I think so too just brought each other's smartness. Yeah, but who was the...
Oh, it's absolutely Shaga.
You reckon?
Wouldn't you agree?
Yeah, I think so too.
Great, let's gang up.
We've got to look after each other.
I'll admit to being the dumbest on the team.
Now that's a question.
Who's the dumbest?
I do think it's me.
Let's do an IQ test.
I have the worst memory though as well, which doesn't help.
So you're not a traditional academic learner?
No.
Do you know that's a myth?
What?
Goldfish has got a really bad rap.
They don't actually have a sucky memory.
Oh.
Oh, now I've got to fact check myself.
Can you fact check yourself?
Because maybe I got suckered in by positive PR for the goldfish.
Yeah.
Who is sending you a press release about goldfishes?
No, look it up.
Do fish actually have a bad...
Talk amongst yourselves for a second.
All right.
Babs and I have no chat.
Fish had pretty good luck.
It was a quick Google then.
God, guys, you're in radio.
Babs and I have so much chat when we're not in front of a microphone.
When we're at our desk, we're just talking.
I'm like, Babs, shut up.
People get annoyed at us because we're laughing so much.
And then we'll pass it like, what are you two laughing at?
And then Boss Chase will come out and want to get in on it.
What is the difference bringing it on air?
I don't know.
Because it feels forced.
It does feel forced. But when we're over there, you should see us. We're g difference bringing it on air? I don't know. Because it feels forced. It does feel forced.
But like when we're over there, you should see us.
We're just, we're giggling.
We're having time of our life.
Yeah.
Or I'll, oh, that's nice.
Yeah.
I'm glad you feel that.
Do you not?
Yeah.
I probably, I'll look, I probably wouldn't have said time of our life.
That's a stretch.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
You're both in radio.
Babs, I'll give you a yellow card because you've been in radio
for two minutes. Yeah, thanks.
Shy guy, you've been in radio nearly as long
as I have. Are you going on
ten years or have you got more? No, no, no.
It would have been if this company didn't fire me.
Alright, well collectively, remove the
hiatus. How long? I think it's like eight on
eight, I think. So you know the
whole premise is energy gusto
chat and you've got it. Not in my role. Only this the whole premise is energy gusto chat.
And you've got it.
Not in my role.
Only this week it's been energy gusto chat.
Yeah, and you've been phenomenal.
The first time I saw Shy Guy, the other side of Shy Guy Babs,
where I went, oh, this Shy Guy bullshit, it's not an act,
but it is in front of the mic.
Because off air, he ain't no Shy Guy. He's Chatty Guy.
He came over to my house to pick me up. He very kindly was driving out to
a funeral. So we're in our funeral blocks. My in-laws were
looking after the baby and I invited him in because I think we were waiting for Ducco.
You're a bitch and didn't want to come to the funeral. That's not true.
That's not what happened. But you weren't there. Anyway, shy guy comes in and I thought
it's going to be so awkward. I'm going to introduce my in-laws and he's going to stand there like an awkward pork chop.
Mate, the chat coming in, he was gracious and charming.
And I'm going, who the hell is this?
Peter and Fleur.
That's not right.
Fleur was an interesting guess.
Peter.
Georgia.
Peter and Georgia.
Where he was nice to them. I don't and Georgia. Wait, he was nice to them.
I don't get that.
No, but not nice, Babs.
Like charming and chatty and conversational.
Oh, wait.
Peter and Fleur are people that I know from my mom's side of the family.
That's all right.
I'm glad that you took a stab.
Fleur, though, to pull a name out of your ass is very niche.
Peter and Georgia.
Yes, I remember meeting them.
Do you know what I'm saying?
He didn't say, like, hurry up, bitch or something.
No, I think Peter was.
Peter what?
You said that.
Hurry up.
You've got to go.
Well, we were waiting for Doug.
It wasn't like we could go anywhere.
No, no.
But it almost was.
Yeah, geez, this guy's got some chat on him.
And afterwards, they're going, what's your producer's name?
I said, we call him Shy Guy because he's shy.
Yeah.
They went, what?
So I know you've got it in you.
And it's amazing that you're saying you've got it together.
Except I need you to fill 60 seconds while I look up a fish fact and you couldn't do it.
How bizarre.
I don't know.
It is weird.
Anyway, you want to hear the fish fact?
Sure.
Fish have pretty good memories.
I actually forgot what the fish fact was for.
You said you're a goldfish.
That's why you're not a good learner.
Oh, okay.
And is the goldfish memory a short-term thing?
Fish have been scientifically proven to have memories lasting months,
even years.
Okay.
So that whole thing of memory like a goldfish, silly.
I wonder where it came from.
That's bad PR.
Anyway, I'd love to do an IQ test just to really prove who is the dumbest.
By extension, who's the smartest.
Not the smartest.
We want to know the dumbest.
We'll do an IQ test when we come back.
But the issue is different strengths.
Like your pop culture knowledge, at least music.
I think I'd have you on pop culture.
See, if we were on air tomorrow, we'd put this to the test.
We would.
But who has the time?
All right.
We've got to do different categories.
What would you?
Oh, you'd win music for sure.
Music for me, yeah.
Because your music knowledge spans decades.
You'd win kids movie knowledge.
Yeah, you would.
No, that's true.
I want to go broader.
I reckon I'd win movies.
Yeah, I'll give you that.
I'll give you that.
Ducko might have me on movies, but I think I've got broader with kids movies and random shit.
He'd have sport, hands down.
Who'd have art?
Who cares?
Like Vincent van Gogh stuff.
Well, art could be modern artists, but maybe me, just because I'm across that stuff.
I'm not really super into all that.
You're into art.
I am into, like, I genuinely do like art and I care about artists and stuff and I care
about how much shit sells for.
Yeah.
Architecture.
I'm just trying to think of like Scattergory or Trivial Pursuit.
Or like books.
Oh, books.
I've never read a book in my life.
See, I think I have a pretty big, like I read quite a bit. So you and I could go head to head on books. Oh, books. I've never read a book in my life. See, I think I have a pretty big.
So do I.
I read quite a bit.
You and I could go head to head on books?
Possibly, yeah.
I have nothing I'm good at.
If you were going to go on, no, you do.
If you were going to go on, you could do radio in general.
Or hard quiz.
If you were going to go on hard quiz, it's a niche topic.
I think they don't even do things like the series Friends.
They do the series Friends season three.
Yeah.
So how specific?
What is your?
I could do the Simpsons season five to 12.
I love that.
Yeah.
Yes.
That's when it was good.
That's a good window.
That's what's your specific hard quiz.
I think I could do like 90s rock music.
That's still very broad.
Yeah, like within that.
Yes. Yes.
Yes.
I don't know.
I reckon I could do like Jackie Chan movies.
I love Jackie Chan.
It is.
But I'm going niche.
I could definitely do B-movie.
I could quote you that whole movie.
Never seen it.
Probably could do Ratatouille as well.
Never seen it.
I think I could do Shrek.
You could do Shrek.
I'd be great.
You and I should go up against each other in Shrek.
I'm going to put myself in that.
Okay.
Okay.
Should we have a Shrek off?
All right.
Just for fun, I'm going to give you a Shrek quiz right now.
But you'll know the answer.
No, no.
I won't play.
It'll be you two versus each other.
I'm just saying, I think I could have done that.
Are we talking quotes?
Talk amongst yourselves for a second.
Does this mean we need game show music?
Probably.
Okay, hang on.
You should probably find some game show music.
You're impressed with how quick I found that, Babs?
Yeah, it was good compared to the rest of the show.
Okay, I'll give you that.
All right, names of your buzzers.
Oh, no, your voices are distinguishable enough.
This gets a run a lot on this show, so I'll be mad if you don't get it.
Okay.
What's the giant gingerbread man's name?
Mongo.
One to Babs. Damn it. Damn it't get it. Okay. What's the giant gingerbread man's name? Mongo. One to Babs.
Damn it.
Damn it.
Damn it.
You should have got that, Shy Guy.
It comes up a lot.
Damn it.
Oh, that's way too hard.
Try me.
These are all...
These are all...
Okay.
There's a trumpet player in Shrek 2.
His name is only spoken once.
What is it?
I don't know.
I know the scene.
It starts with an R.
Rumble Stillskin?
No, it's two syllables.
Do you know what a syllable is?
Rupert?
You're correct on syllables, wrong on the name.
Roger.
Reggie.
Mate, he's got it.
Oh, I didn't remember Reggie.
Yeah, because then the guy hits him in the scene
because he's too trumpeting for too long.
That's amazing.
The character is officially named Robin Hood,
but what do they call him when he appears in the first Shrek movie?
Ah, Underlay.
Oh, Underlay.
I'm trying to picture the scene.
The Merry Man?
You're in the realm.
They go...
Oh, shit!
It's French.
Monsieur?
Something.
Yeah.
Monsieur...
Robin Hood.
Robin Hood.
No, Monsieur...
Monsieur Hood.
Very good.
Very good, Babs.
Very good.
Thanks.
Oh, this is... Wow, these are really hard.
In Shrek 2, we meet the fairy godmother.
What's the name of her receptionist?
You know, the one with sass who wants to talk about, like,
their healthcare and dental plan and stuff?
I've got no idea.
Reginald?
No.
I've got a really good mate with this name.
He's a singer.
Sorry, that's really hard.
You have lots of friends.
Sounds like Jay.
Jerome?
Yes.
Well done, Babs.
Three to one.
From the first Shrek movie, there's the guy that, you know,
carries around the big head chopping axe.
Yes.
What's his name?
With the thing on his head.
Correct, with the hood on his head. Oh, the executioner guy. Yes. Oh, if you get it, Babs, you win the game. Yeah axe? Yes. What's his name? With the thing on his head. Correct. With the hood on his head.
Oh, the executioner guy.
Yes.
Oh, if you get it, Babs, you win the game.
Yeah, you win.
I don't know it.
A Thelonious.
Oh, no one's going to know that.
BuzzFeed, that was the hardest Shrek quiz ever.
Should we do one more for the win?
Sure.
Maybe like finish this quote.
Oh, okay.
Let me go.
Da, da.
Great. Da. Great. Da. Love. Oh, okay. Let me go. Da, da. Great.
Da.
Great.
Da.
Da.
Quotes.
Here we go.
All right.
I'm going to pick a good one.
Yeah, take your time.
Okay.
He meets, I think that's Rumpelstiltskin.
Who's that guy?
Yeah, Rumpelstiltskin.
All right, so I'll give you the, it's in Shrek Forever After.
Is that the second one?
No, isn't that the newest one?
Or am I, no.
No.
Is that the second one?
Forever After.
Is that the one with Rumpelstiltskin?
Because that's a bad one.
I don't think I've seen the fourth one.
Oh, okay.
Do you not want to do that one then?
No.
That one's too easy.
Yeah, that one's the crap one.
Oh, okay.
We won't do it then.
Sorry.
Oh, okay. Okay. Shrek the third. You're up for Shrek the third as well. Yeah, that one's the crap one. Oh, okay, we won't do it then. Sorry. Oh, okay, okay, Shrek the Third.
You're right, Shrek the Third as well.
Yeah, I think so.
It's the hardest one to quote, I think, but yep.
Okay.
The one with JT.
Very good.
I think that was a bad casting choice.
What do you think?
I'm a JT fan.
I like it.
Well, my stomach aches and my palms just got sweaty.
Must be?
Mum's spaghetti.
That's actually what I was also thinking,
but I was not dumb enough to say it.
It's where he's meeting JT's character, the little princey boy.
Well, my stomach aches and my palms just got sweaty.
Must be...
Your lucky day.
A.
It's where they've just arrived to.
It's right after Donkey says this.
Oh, high school.
Yes.
I remember that because they went to...
I want you to get it properly.
Sorry.
That was right before Donkey was like,
Wars testers to Shire.
Yeah.
Like the source.
That's it.
Oh, I love this.
If only you said the quote 10 seconds in the movie earlier.
My apologies.
It's just what screen rant has batted up.
Oh, I really like this scene.
It's from Shrek 2.
Okay.
Shrek has just become a human.
Cute button nose.
Thick wavy locks.
Round buttocks.
I need the adjective.
One more adjective.
Soft?
No.
Soft is the opposite of this.
Hard.
It's a better word than hard.
Solid.
You're flirting with it.
Sounds to be T.
Tough.
Taut.
That's a hard one.
All right, all right.
We'll quit there.
Uh-oh.
Run out of game music.
That's all right.
We'll play it again.
Oh, this is funny.
Opening scene of the villagers rampaging the swamp.
First movie.
We're going Shrek 1.
Wow.
Okay.
Actually, it's quite good.
Actually, it's quite good on.
God.
Oh, my God.
Guys, you said this could be a thing.
I wanted you to do the one where it was like, not now, kitten whiskers.
Daddy will talk about it later.
The villagers talking about grinding bones for its bread. You know, that whole thing about giants and ogres. Yeah. Actually about it later. The village is talking about grinding bones for its bread.
You know that whole thing about giants and ogres?
Yeah. Actually, it's quite good on
toast.
Both win. Yay!
You're taking Shrek off your hard quiz.
No, we just need to practice.
Look at him in his wee little
boots. Yes!
Yes!
That guy wins fair and square.
That's not fair.
I was winning the general quiz before.
That's how I felt the whole time in Wurdioki, though, Shabab.
Enjoy the pod.
Let's get rowdy indeed.
Good morning.
Morning.
For the last time before we're taking Ducko's paternity leave with him. Yeah.
And, of course, the Easter long weekend just around the corner.
How are you guys?
How are you feeling?
Pretty good.
Yeah, good.
Great.
How are you feeling?
I'm equal parts good.
Yeah.
But also a little sad.
I've had such a wonderful week with you guys.
Yeah, it has been fun.
I think it obviously, it really peaked yesterday.
We got to catch up with Ducko on air.
If you did miss it, we are going to replay that conversation because, I mean, the biggest
news for our families, obviously, with the arrival of little Florence.
But yesterday was just so joyful and I think I felt that in the air all week.
Beyond it being birthday celebrations
it's been such a vibe wouldn't you say yeah it's been a lot of fun yeah you two have just
been incredible and we've had we've had a lot of fun so it's a little sad it's a little bittersweet
to know that the alarm won't be when it literally my alarm went off this morning I went oh did you
oh I had a sigh I was like oh last one. I really have embraced find a job you love.
You'll never work a day in your life.
It's a true pleasure to be here.
But how good is having a holiday, though?
Oh, it is wonderful.
Don't get me wrong.
When I don't have to set it come Monday, text me then, you know?
But, yes, speaking of Easter, guys, I was a little busy yesterday.
I've started Mama Farcher's lasagna recipe for Ducko and Morgan
and a couple of other friends, actually.
We've got a lot of babies in our world.
So I sent Angus to the shop because I wanted to get you a part little Easter gift,
part little thank you for this amazing week gift.
I didn't get you anything.
I just want to put that on the record now.
I feel bad.
I know gift giving is my love language.
I don't expect it.
It is.
Physical touch is mine.
So Babs, if you could just tickle my arm for the rest of the show, I'd love it.
No, I sent him to the shops, but I was bathing the baby.
He tried to call me three times.
Got around, went, oh my God, is everything all right?
He goes, I didn't know what to get the guy.
So I don't know how.
So this is from Gussie, really?
This technique is my idea, but Gussie had to execute.
But the product.
Amazing.
Shy guy.
Yes.
He's gone a crunchy bunny.
I've never seen a crunchy bunny.
I'll take this.
This is great.
Thank you.
And I know you're a Twix fan like me.
I've never seen a Twix Easter thing.
No, crunchy's just as good.
Is it?
Yeah.
Oh, Gussie, you've nailed it.
Now, Babs, I don't want you to be...
I'm not sure what that... Oh, did you find that from the Easter egg hunt, Babs. I don't want you to be... I'm not sure what that...
Oh, did you find that from the Easter egg hunt in the office?
No, he was like, and this one is for Babs.
Thanks.
How would you want to describe it for the rest of the week?
It's a little Cadbury egg, the hollow one.
Nah, jokes.
He actually got you this.
Oh, yes.
I love Golden Gatehouse.
Oh, my God.
How great.
Yeah, he's done very well.
Good.
That was just a joke. He actually got you all this one. No, honestly, I would have been like, okay, that's fine. Great. Oh, my God. How great. Yeah, you've done very well. Good. That was just a joke.
No, honestly, I would have been like, okay, that's fine.
Great.
Thank you.
Oh, he's nailed it.
No, so just a tiny little sweet treat to start our day.
You can obviously enjoy that at your leisure.
I can put it in my coffee this morning.
You can.
Oh, my God, you crazy cat.
She's living on the edge.
But a huge show to come as we sort of wrap up before this little break.
We've got those Gaga tickets to give away.
Shy Guy.
Can Riley, our carryover champion of one whole day, defend?
Because this is the day that matters.
It's the person who is left standing today.
Yeah, because we might have to just play all morning until we give them away.
And we are going deep cut.
We thought air, air was deep cut.
Yeah, this.
But Ben got it straight away.
So we're going deep.
The rice cookers will never forget this song now.
No, exactly.
So that's happening just after seven for a double pass to see Lady Gaga.
Mum and I bought tickets yesterday.
But I'm not even going to tell you how much she had to pay.
I don't.
Were they more or less an Adrian?
What's his name?
I was going to say the Lambo guy.
Bro, they're about three times the price.
What?
Really?
So this double pass.
Unbelievable.
This double pass that we are giving away,
the value skyrocketed yesterday.
Because, you know, she announced another show in Melbourne
because obviously she's selling very well.
So the tickets are expensive.
Did you do VIP?
No, but adjacent to VIP was all that was left.
Wow.
And my mum was like, just go, go, go, go, go.
Do you go in Melbourne though?
We're going in Melbourne because my mum does live in Melbourne.
I made her come here for Andrea, so I will go to her.
Wow.
For Gaga.
God, I forgot her name for a second.
I blacked out with the dollar sign.
Anyway, what else is on the show?
Babs's blog for the fourth day in a row this week.
I know.
God, you've worked overtime.
You deserve that egg.
Yeah, I'm going to definitely put chocolate in my coffee.
We've also got a new game we debuted last week.
What's the threesome?
We'll do that after about 7.40.
It was a lot of fun.
I think I approved.
I speak Shagaynese very well.
Yeah.
Don't you think?
Yeah, we'll see if you can back it up for a second.
But next, Jess, I'm going to tell you
She comes in
way too hot there, Chad. Yeah, I know she does.
I was listening to the ABC
yesterday. Oh, I have questions. And I heard
something that I need to play back for you, okay?
We'll do that next.
Jess, how often do you
listen to the ABC, specifically ABC Radio?
I'll be honest with you, shy guy.
Unless I've accidentally pressed a button in my car.
Okay.
I don't know, a rogue elbow.
Okay.
Never.
Okay.
Usually neither do I.
Yeah.
But I was just scrolling, you know, you turn the...
And that's nothing to say on their programming.
Yeah.
I just love what we do here at Hit.
Yeah, so do I.
But sometimes I'll just have a flicker out and just like to see what the competition's doing, you know?
That's a great producer.
I can see you being a content director one day with that sort of thinking.
Just getting a lay of the land.
See, I live in a bubble, whereas you, always having a look over enemy lines.
Yeah, I think this was Radio National, I think, not the local ABC.
I think it was the national one.
And one show
finished and a new show started.
So you're here on the hour.
Yeah, I heard the hour and this is exactly
what I heard. I've beeped it.
Oh gosh, it required a beep on the ABC.
Well, we'll let one slip because
that's okay to say at this time. But the other one, I had to
beep for legal reasons. But anyway, here's what I heard
and I was shocked.
On the ABC Listener.
Why did she hit delay?
Oh, shit.
What?
She shouldn't have hit delay.
I told her not to go into delay.
F***.
So that's what I heard.
That went to air.
That went to air.
It wasn't beeped on air.
I had to beep for legal reasons for us.
Of course it wasn't.
For anyone who doesn't know the inner workings of radio,
what does delay mean?
So delay is a 10-second thing that you have to do to broadcast
in case something does happen
that you remove it from the airwaves.
Exactly.
Essentially, we are operating in the future.
Like on, was it Tuesday?
Renee, our lady who was playing for the Gaga tickets,
she didn't know the song and she dropped an almighty crisp F-bomb.
You are able to basically smack a button and it like...
It just deletes it.
You're basically Doctor Strange.
Wow.
Can he work in time?
I won't hit you with a niche because I love a Marvel Avenger reference.
I'll let that one go.
Actually, you know what?
Are you telling me?
Hang on.
No, you did really well.
You know what?
Well done, Ducko.
That's not niche at all.
That's the perfect reference.
Done it again.
I don't think I've ever received one of those.
Usually Ducko does it to himself.
But no, I'll give it to you.
I'll bestow it.
He worked his own name into it as well.
God, I didn't think this week could get any better.
Thank you.
But yes, you're like Dr. Stranger.
You can suck us back into real time to eradicate that,
have it ever gone to air.
The issue is, was the young lady on ABC saying she did put them in delay.
So she could have actually removed that herself because they were in delay.
Well, I think she took out delay.
Oh, so they didn't have the buffer.
And then the next program started, she didn't know what to do
because when we do go into delay, we do have to hear something.
Of course.
We have to insert something.
So she wasn't in the future.
So she didn't hear it and the producer was like,
what, doesn't know how to do that either and didn't know what to do.
Because you know what you need in that moment, delay.
Yeah, and support.
Loud Luxury, Brando, Body, quick year of the song.
Jess, what do you think that year was that Body, Loud Luxury came out in?
That's got to be old.
2002?
Babs, you want to have a crack?
Maybe like 2019?
Is that right?
Yeah.
2002?
I feel like that's been around forever.
Oh, man.
I'm so glad I asked.
Sometimes when we play that game, it's just you're over here.
Do you remember me having an absolute meltdown?
It would have been a year ago about Year of the Song,
and I really sat you and Ducko down going,
let's have a real think about Year of the Song because all I felt I was doing
was pulling years out of my ass.
There was no thought process.
I was like, this isn't a fun game.
And then you and Ducko outvoted me, and I went, well,
the only thing I can control is my attitude,
and I've really come around to it.
It's just fun for me to see.
But when you make fun of me, it makes me go again.
What's the point of this shit game?
That's the point of it.
Hey, it's Babs. And this is my blog.
Men's Operation Superstar Brats.
You've been an absolute superstar this week, Babs.
I've asked a lot of you.
Usually you do a blog once a week.
It's like three minutes of work for you.
This week without Dukka, I went, Babs, I'm going to need a daily.
And you have stepped up and up and up.
Thank you. Personal life, trolling the news and the trends for your last daily blog,
because we'll go back to weekly.
Yeah.
What have you got for me?
Well, I'm going to bring some Gen Z news today.
I mean, is the princess Gen Z?
Are you saying my people?
My people.
Babs asked for this audio.
And I reckon the year of this,
20...
Oh, I don't have that, hang on.
2015.
I saw the pre-sets, it's Splendour One Year.
I reckon it's earlier than that, like 2008.
Oh.
Was that right?
Shut your dirty mouth.
Holy dooly.
She's on one.
Babs needs to play.
Maybe you sub out.
Oh, that's a great idea.
You tag me out for the next year of the song.
Sure.
Okay, so we're here with your people in 2008.
Yeah, so.
You weren't even born.
Yes, I was.
I was born in 2001.
Yeah, you were seven.
I was graduating high school.
Anyway.
Anyway.
We're never going to get to Jim Cooper from The Great Dummy Hunt.
I think we're right.
A study has come out recently that's talking about new workplace empowerment trends.
Empowerment?
Okay.
Yeah.
So basically saying that with the right to disconnect legislation in our corner now,
Gen Z isn't afraid to let their managers know, you know, that they're...
No more emailing me at 6pm expecting a response.
Yeah.
They've been kind of like drilling down.
They're like, yep, not going to cop it.
So some new trends have come out.
They're all over TikTok.
So these are them.
So bare minimum...
Sorry, that was really bad.
Bare minimum Mondays.
I'm trying.
I'm dying.
And then she's peaked.
She's peaked with Year of the Song.
This is what I was going to do it four days in a row.
And then she nails to Year of the Song.
You can't talk.
I'm doing a great job over here.
And then he's gotten just better and better.
You, I don't know.
Decline.
What I'm going to tell you about is this.
And here they are.
Go.
Perhaps I did a shit yesterday and I didn't do it too differently.
So I shouldn't really judge.
Anyway, give us the first one.
Bare minimum Mondays.
What does that mean? Let me guess. Yeah, guess us the first one. Bare minimum Mondays. What does that mean?
Let me guess.
Yeah, guess.
You do the bare minimum on a Monday.
What, and pick it up on the Tuesday?
Yeah, so it refers to a workplace initiative
where employees do the minimal amount of work necessary on Mondays
to ease into the work week.
So the workplace has put this in.
Well, no, this is the Gen Z collective mindset.
They walk into work and be like, today I'm not going to try as hard.
I think Gen Z, and correct me if I'm wrong, Babs, Gen Z collectively, generally speaking,
are very much like, I don't get paid for that.
I ain't doing it.
Well, that comes into the next new trend, which is act your wage.
Act your wage.
They are very clever, very snappy little titles.
Yeah, so they're coming out and saying that we're recognising
that we're only hired for a specific number of hours and tasks
and so I'm not going to do overtime and I'm going to make that, you know.
I get it in theory, but it's just no way to get ahead, prove yourself,
even just for your own willpower or work ethic.
Oh, it's actually really detrimental.
I hate that attitude.
Yeah, it's horrible. Loud leaving I hate that attitude. Yeah, it's horrible.
Loud leaving is one as well.
What's that?
Loud leaving.
Not loud luxury.
It's just when Jess leaves the office, basically.
But it's where people...
What, at 9.03?
And you're going, bye!
No, it's when you make a big show of leaving work.
Such as, like, banging things
and packing up your belongings loudly
or putting it on social media. Like, I'm leaving work now. belongings loudly or putting it on social media.
Like, I'm leaving work now.
You don't put it on social media all the time.
No, and I don't think I pack up loudly, but I do announce because sorry, colleagues who I thought were friends.
Who just started their day.
It's nice to say goodbye.
Yes, but if I'm leaving, hey man, my life is content.
I ain't going to find content pretending to sit at my desk.
No, no.
Send emails. Do you know what you do? Oh, here we go. You say, Babs, can you I ain't going to find content pretending to sit at my desk. I do send emails.
Do you know what you do?
Oh, here we go.
You say, Babs, can you help me take this to my car?
Shy guy, can you grab this for me? I need you to take this downstairs.
I can't carry it all.
I'm not the one who ordered 350 balloons for my own birthday.
Hey, I didn't order them.
I wanted to take them home.
Would you rather I not say goodbye?
No, I was just joking.
I do like when you say goodbye.
No, stuff is.
You're never getting a goodbye again.
Oh, you're definitely not getting a goodbye, tiger.
There's also this new TikTok trend going around
that people are saying in response to people emailing them now,
if it's after hours,
they just send an error message saying error 404 employee not found.
Hang on.
Do they send that or is it like a preset?
It'll bounce straight away.
They would send that as if it was a preset? It'll bounce straight away.
They would send that as if it was a preset thing,
which I've actually done to show a guy once.
Babs sent me a fake out of office on a text message.
To say that my office hours were between 8 and 9.
And I was like, I don't care, I've texted you.
Anything that you can look at objectively and go,
you could have just replied to the email,
but the effort you've gone to, that's funny.
Yeah, and then also people are really drilling down and just being mean and being like, do not
contact me while I'm leaving.
I'll report you to HR.
Oh, wow.
We're getting HR.
People and culture involved.
Yeah, really.
Wow.
It's really going to shape the landscape because these are the people who are, you think, going
to become bosses one day.
So they're going to be on the receiving end of this kind of behavior.
In positive news, though, people are saying
that we are bringing some new skills
and expectations into the workplace.
Can you give me three new skills that Gen Z's bringing?
Well, for me, I'm creative.
Is that also from Gen Z?
It's all just tech skills.
Are Gen Z saying this? That they're bringing this?
Yeah, probably. I don't know. I'm just bringing you what people are saying.
Yeah, but you're the voice of the Gen Z.
You've got to defend your people.
Yeah, we're bringing tech skills.
What are you bringing?
Alpha Bucks, $10,000.
It's up next.
Jess and Ducko in the morning.
Jess and Ducko's Gen K Alpha Bucks on here.
Alpha Bucks.
Yes, it is.
$10,000 up for grabs.
I want to give this away, Jess.
I really want to be the one to give it away without Ducker here.
Because he'd hate that.
Well, he would just hate missing out on the wonderful celebration.
We've got two chances today.
Now and 8am before we go on three weeks paternity leave with him.
So, is Casey...
We could do it twice.
If Casey does it now.
Good morning, Case.
Good morning.
You ready to take $10,000 out from underneath?
Shy guy's been sitting on it all week.
I hope so.
Incubating it like a mother hen.
Yep.
You feeling good?
You feeling jazzed?
Yeah.
Well, that sounded believable.
What's motivating you today?
What would you like to do with $10,000?
Just pay some bills.
And then my son's turning 16 in July, so buy him his first little car, I suppose.
Wow.
That's a very, very nice sweet 16th birthday present.
All righty.
Well, Case, have you run through all the rules, shy guy?
No.
Yeah, okay.
You finish that.
All right.
30 seconds, Casey, to answer 10 questions,
all starting with the same letter, which Jess will give you in a second.
If you get all 10 of those questions, you'll get $10,000 cash, money, tax-free.
We must take your first answer.
You cannot say the same answer twice.
If you're unsure, say pass, and we'll come back to it at the end
if there's time, all right?
Yeah, sure.
All righty, Casey, the letter you're going to work with is T.
T for Toyota, which maybe you'd like to buy your son, okay? Yep. Sure. All righty. Casey, the letter you're going to work with is T. T for Toyota, which maybe you'd like to buy your son.
Okay?
Yeah.
Solid letter.
Let's do it.
Your time will start after the first question.
Starting with the letter T, we need you to name a Disney character.
Tiana.
A boy's name.
Tom. An ocean animal.
Turtle. An ocean animal.
An insect.
Something in the bathroom.
A colour.
An athlete.
A band.
Pass.
A four-letter word.
Thor.
A board game.
Damn it.
Thor on the buzzer.
Thor on the buzzer.
For a four-letter word.
We'll take that.
Love that.
We did pass on an insect because it said tarantula or a termite.
Yeah.
Something in the bathroom.
A toilet case. Yeah. And in the bathroom, a toilet case.
Yeah.
And an athlete, Tom Brady, Travis Kelsey, or I can't say that.
Tom Trebojevic.
Yeah, that and him.
Turbo Tommy.
And then a band, take that, the Tampa Trap or Tenacious D, which is Jack Black.
That's right.
What'd she end up with?
She ended up with... Five.
Five of the best.
Sorry, I forget that I have to do the tally there.
That's all right.
I mean, we could have fleshed that out.
You've done that every time. I know, I know.
I don't think we could have taken over from that.
That's fine.
I've done my questions.
My bit's out.
But hey, your most important job, Shy Guy.
Yes, here we go.
Casey, you've won $100 to spend at Minx Adult Boutique.
Minxwith3Xs.com.au.
Go see George.
You'll enjoy that.
He'll look after you.
He'll look after you.
Casey, thank you so much for joining the show.
And wish your boy a happy birthday from us when it comes around.
All right.
Thank you for that.
Thank you, Del.
Thanks.
I think you're getting worse.
At our Alphabucks part, I am.
Your banter, your energy and your panelling
phenomenal. But I think your alpha bucksing?
Yeah. You're definitely not taking
that job off of Ducko. Yeah, well he can have that.
Okay. Jess and Ducko.
We just played Anxiety there.
We're loving that track. Yeah, we love Dochi.
We love Dochi. But you know what gives me anxiety, Shaga?
What's that? Busting.
Busting to go to the bathroom and not
knowing where a good, clean, safe Dunny is in either a walkable or drivable distance.
You know I just go home if I'm at work and that happens.
I know.
I'm out.
You take that anxiety, Dot, she's talking about, to a whole new level.
Well, lucky our good friends at Continence Health Australia are on the great dunny hunt. They are trying to curate and pinpoint every single public bathroom
that will be available on a website, toiletmap.gov.au,
or a very easy-to-use app.
We're very thankful for their doing God's work, basically.
So let's go to the CEO of Continence Health Australia right now
to find out a little bit more.
It's Jim Cooper.
Good morning, Jim. Good morning. Good to talk to you both. Oh, Jim, this is an absolutely amazing initiative.
First and foremost, what is driving your team wanting to help out the public with the Great
Dunny Hunt? Oh, well, this toilet map is a fantastic map. It's got more toilets in Australia on this toilet map than Google produces.
So your listeners have just got to get this toilet map app on their telephones when they're travelling.
This is an unbelievable resource.
I can see here you did some research.
A consumer survey found 49% of respondents do not feel comfortable embarking on a long journey without at least
knowing with confidence where their first toilet stop will be.
That's a huge percentage of the population who maybe aren't taking journeys or are wasting
time just with trying to tick that information off.
Yeah, this is it.
The toilet map's good for all Australians, particularly coming up to Easter and people
are on the road for holidays, maybe
going to towns they don't know, but
our organisation, Continence Health Australia,
is making sure that we have
we look after Australians of all ages
who have continence issues and
they can be kids or mums who've just had
babies. Oh my god, of course.
Who need to do lots of pelvic
floor exercises. There are men who've had
prostate operations.
It's not just the elderly.
It's a whole cross-section.
We're about one in four Australians it affects.
Oh, I didn't know that number was that high.
And I just love that beyond World Continents Week,
we can use this map whenever via that website, via the app.
The map already has 24,200 toilets listed.
Jim, with an educated guess, how many do you think there actually are in Australia?
Look, I've been saying, as I've been talking to people this week,
I don't see why we couldn't get to over 30,000 toilets.
There must be another 6,000 out there that we haven't mapped.
And the reason I say that is when the map was first started by the federal government in 2019, there were only 19,000
toilets on the map. So each year we have this fun campaign, the Great Gunny Hunt, for about four
weeks. And we have cash prizes. You can add a toilet on the app. There's a big button in the
middle of the app that says add a toilet if you find one that's not there. And is the idea, Jim, the ones that are hidden, not necessarily the
new ones? Like if a council puts in a new park with a great facility, that probably is being
added. We're almost looking for ones that have been around for a decade that are tucked into the
back corner of an alleyway maybe or have just missed the map because they've been around for so long.
Yeah, this is it.
This is it.
I know when I travel and you're on the train or you're going into the city
or you're in a country town, you know where your favourite toilet is.
It's usually one that's reliable, it's open, it's clean.
But when you get this app, go into the app store and look up
toilet map and download it.
The website, as you said, is toiletmap.gov.au.
But when you download it, it sees where you are locationally
and it drops in blue icons all the toilets surrounding you.
And then you can click on an icon
and about 10 different features of the toilet come up.
You know, it's opening hours.
Does it have a disabled toilet?
Is there a change table?
Even there might be a shower there.
But all these details for the toilets come up.
If you are like me and have had to pull over on the side of the road
and do a bush wee and use your sock for toilet paper,
you will know...
I just made up a scenario there.
That actually didn't happen.
But Jim, for anyone who has ever been in a situation like that,
I remember it's all the side of the highway.
So many people would have seen my butt.
But this resource is unbelievable and it is all thanks
to Continence Health Australia.
It is called the Great Dunny Hunt, toiletmap.gov.au
or download that easy app,
Google Play, the App Store, wherever.
One of three $500 vouchers up for grabs just for lodging a dunny.
Hey, Jim, before we let you go,
do you have a favourite public toilet in the country?
Oh, great question.
Question without notice.
I've got a few.
I've got one I'm not going to mention because I don't want it to be overrun.
Okay.
It's like picking a favourite child.
But yes, Jim, where's some hot ones?
Give us your top three.
Victoria in a town called Mortlake.
When we had our family holidays
with our four kids, that was our favourite
stop. And because it was in a country
town, it was always well looked after and clean.
There's a bakery next door,
you know, pop in for a bit of a slice.
There was a bakery next door, so
it was a great place to stop with
the kids and stretch the legs
and use the toilet.
It was fantastic.
Jim Cooper, you're doing God's work.
Thanks so much for joining the show.
Thanks, guys.
Great to chat.
Jess and Ducco.
Hi, it's Lady Gaga.
You've waited long enough, little monsters.
Lady Gaga presents the Mayhem Ball, a core stadium Friday, December 12.
Tickets and info at livenation.com.au.
Lady Gaga!
Just me and me and me and me.
I'm a Gaga.
Ooh la la.
Jess and Ducko's One Second Song Game.
Back for a limited time, and our time ends today.
That's correct.
Tomorrow's a public holiday, Gaga.
That's right, we're not here, so no more Gaga things.
We've got the tickets here, they are.
There's the tickets.
It's been 11 years since she was down under,
and we have got a double pass to see her in Sydney.
All you need to do is identify the Gaga song in one second.
Riley is our carryover champ.
He was able to do it yesterday.
Riley, good morning to you.
Morning.
How are you guys?
Oh, I couldn't be better.
Riley, do you understand how high the stakes are?
We had another pre-sale yesterday and now all I'm seeing the commentary online is, oh
my God, either sheer joy because people have nabbed them or just heartbreak because they
haven't.
But you have an opportunity to go for free.
How are you feeling?
Amazing.
I joined the queue yesterday.
I was like 104,000.
Oh, jeez.
Oh, God.
Jeez, I thought Angus was bad.
He was 28,000.
But Riley, okay, you don't need to worry about being in any queue
because you are at the front of ours being carryover champ.
What was your prep like the past 24 hours?
Have you been listening a lot?
I've been listening to the songs I don't listen to the most.
Good.
Kind of just going into a bit blind.
All right, that's okay.
You're going to channel your inner little monster.
Tell us what this Lady Gaga song is in one second.
What do you think, Riley?
Oh, no.
Just don't do it.
I know you want to, but just don't.
Do you have a crack, Riley?
It's not it, but I'm going to say teeth.
Oh, Riley, I'm so sorry.
Sorry, Riley.
Oh, that means we haven't been able to give it to a carryover champ.
No, that means we go to Gemma.
Gemma, good morning.
Hello.
Gemma, how are you feeling?
A bit nervous.
You should be.
These are the hottest tickets in town.
Listen close.
One second.
It's quick, but that's all you're going to get.
Here we go.
Is it you and I? Listen close. One second. It's quick, but that's all you're going to get. Here we go.
Is it you and I?
Is that what you're looking in?
Yep.
You sure?
Yep.
That's it.
Oh, my God.
You and I.
Gemma. How did you do that? I. Gemma.
How did you do that?
I don't know.
She Bradbury'd it.
I said this might happen.
You did say.
I think Bradbury had five people fall in front of him.
Gemma just needed the one.
Babe, you are off to see Lady Gaga when she comes to Sydney in December.
Congratulations. Thank you.
Who are you going to take, Gem?
My brother, Sebastian.
Oh, my God.
That's gorgeous.
Gemma and Sebastian, promise me you'll send us some pics.
I'll be at the Melbourne show, but you'll be at the Sydney show.
FaceTime us or something, okay?
Yeah.
Congratulations.
Oh, wow.
I thought that was going to go for much longer, Shy Guy.
Much, much longer.
I know, so did I.
I was really prepared for that.
Lady Gaga presents the Mayhem Ball at Acor Stadium Friday, December 12th.
Tickets and info at livenation.com.au.
You know where to get them from.
Oh, that's amazing.
Jess, you need help from someone who works in retail.
I do, I do.
If you work in retail, I have a really specific question for you.
So could you give us a call next, 13 10 60.
Jess and Ducco.
So I got it right now.
I know you had a previous life as a retail.
Yeah.
Gosh, I was going to say assistant.
You were a manager, weren't you?
That's loose.
Okay.
You did the rosters.
No, I was an assistant store manager at Cotton On, and then
I was also like a, I don't want to say department manager, but
close enough. Sure. At Meyer. At Meyer. I really would like
an objective opinion though, because I'm not sure how you're going
to take this. So 131060, I would just really like to chat to someone who
works in retail, can be at
any level, in any store.
Please get in touch right now.
131060.
I'll give you a bottle opener.
I was scrolling TikTok the other day.
I think I was a bit at doom scrolling.
I'd been going for a while.
I give myself a rule of an evening.
If I catch myself on for too long, I say, right,
I have to laugh three times in a row and then you have
to get off, Jessica.
Okay.
But if I only laugh twice in a row and then a crappy video comes,
I get to reset.
It has to be laughed three times in a row.
I don't think that works.
Yes.
No, it's my rule and it helps curb my scum.
You're relying on your For You page to really just nail it
three times in a row.
But I think I've curated my algorithm pretty good and my feed is pretty funny.
Okay, okay.
But I landed on something.
It didn't make me laugh more than it made me go, oh, my God, I feel seen.
I feel heard.
Yep.
We bandy around the word relatable a lot in radio.
It's one of our goals, I guess.
I've never related more to these random chicks on the internet.
This is them talking about and kind of making fun of their friend Bronte,
how she deals with retail workers and hospo on the phone.
When I am calling a restaurant or anywhere, I say,
hi, my name's Bronte. I'm just wondering if you have a table for two tonight
These two
No because if you're going to go to JB Hi-Fi
And you'll see if they have like a camera in stock
You're saying hi my name is Bronte do you have a camera in stock?
Yeah
But what if you get into it?
It's just common courtesy
Like it's nice you're very polite but i think no one else does it
or is it common courtesy bronte i feel you girl obviously if you're making a booking at a
restaurant or what a massage they're gonna need your name eventually but i'm in such a habit
like i anyone i call and i caught myself doing it the other day.
I bought Lucia the wrong size nappies.
And I went, I've never actually returned anything to a supermarket.
So I called my local Woolies and went, hi, my name's Jess.
I bought a size five instead of a size four.
Could I please return them?
And she went, yeah, no worries.
You have the receipt.
Oh, it's all good as long as they're unopened.
Hung up and caught myself going, why did I?
You did not need to do that.
Yes.
At all.
You also didn't need to say your name.
Yeah, that's what.
Oh, you're saying I need to call.
You need to call, period.
And then you also didn't say who you are.
You could just say, hi, I bought something.
Doesn't need to be returned.
Maybe you could do that.
So I wanted to ask a retail worker on the phone.
We've got Sarah who very kindly either wants the bottle opener
or just wants to help. Hi Sarah.
Hi Jess and
Ducco. How are you going? So good. You know
it's shy guy in lieu of Ducco just for this
week. Just gloss over it. Oh yes.
No I just wanted to make sure. She knew
you've been doing a great job. Sarah where
do you work? I work at
Aldi. Okay perfect.
Almost 12 years in June.
Okay, all right.
Well, congratulations.
That's an amazing stint.
That's actually a perfect one.
Do you find people call and introduce themselves at the top, you know,
asking what their special buy is or whatever?
It's not a place you would need to say your name.
Do you find people do that to you when they call the store? Well, we're not allowed to give out our work number to customers.
Oh, so you can't call your store?
No, so you can't call the store. So you have to come in.
You have to come in.
Come and speak to someone.
And I guess it is weird if I roll in, Sarah. It is a power imbalance. You're wearing a
name badge. If I roll into your face and go, hi, Sarah, my name's Jess.
Can I exchange these nappies?
It's a bit weird.
And it's not a problem.
It's not a problem if they're not open.
It's no drama.
But, yeah, sometimes some of the staff members wear name badges
which aren't there.
So you might get through.
So I'll roll in and say, hi, Sarah, and you're going, my name's Bethany,
but you'll never...
Oh, that's good if you want to avoid complaints.
Yeah, I used to do that at Cotton On, wear someone else's name badge.
Whose name were you wearing?
Well, only because we had to wear a name badge, but I always lost mine.
You're wearing...
Hi, my name's Tiffany.
I'll grab Sean's today or I'll grab Billy's, whatever, yeah.
Oh, I love it.
Can we quickly go to Lisa because she works at another one.
Hi, Lisa. Good morning. Hi, how you going, guys. Oh, I love it. Can we quickly go to Lisa? Yeah, we can go to Lisa. Because she works at another one. Hi, Lisa.
Good morning.
Hi, how you going, guys?
Mate, couldn't be better.
What retail do you work in?
I work at Amart.
Okay, again, another one where people might be going,
hey, have you got this, I don't know, lounge suite in stock?
Do you find people introduce themselves on the phone?
Absolutely, but they go one further.
I've got all the time.
I'll say, hey, it's Sarah from Fishing Point or somewhere.
I know where they're from and who they are.
And it's funny because you might need that information down the line,
Lisa, if you are organising, I guess, delivery for them,
but you're not remembering that if they've introduced themselves
three minutes ago sort of thing.
Absolutely not, no.
And they're calling like months later because obviously things take a while
to come in stock sometimes.
Sorry, you're not the only one who's called.
I'm going to need a refresher.
What makes me feel better, at least other people are doing it.
Hey, my name's Jess.
I want that bedspread, please.
You didn't need to do that.
I didn't need to do it.
Unless you're trying to get a discount.
I don't say, hey, it's Jess Faggioni from Hit FM. That's just. You sure? You've do that. I didn't need to do it. Unless you're trying to get a discount. I don't say hey it's Jess Faggioni from
Hit FM. That's just. You sure?
You've never used that? Be honest.
I do it on email not on phone.
Jess and Ducko.
Jess and Ducko.
Doing it for the new Hot Honey range
which has dropped to Maccas for a limited time
featuring the Hot Honey McCrispy, the
Hot Honey McSpicy and the
Hot Honey Dipping Sauce.
Damn it, I nearly nailed it.
For Chicken McNuggets.
And you don't get another chance.
Ready to embrace the drip.
Thank God.
Want to take it from the top?
Try again.
Yeah, all right.
Hang on.
Let's start again.
Doing it for the new Hot Honey range,
which has just dropped at Macca's for a limited time,
featuring the Hot Honey McCrispy, the Hot Honey McSpicy,
and Hot Honey Dipping Sauce for Chicken McNuggets.
Ready to embrace the drip.
Yeah, 10 out of 10.
Thank you.
There it is.
Thank you.
That was nice.
That's hard, man.
That's a lot of words.
Anyway, thanks, Mackers, for supporting the show.
We love it.
We love it.
We love hot honey.
We had a code yellow in our house last night.
What does that mean?
We ran out of honey.
I had to message my husband.
You have a code for that?
Yeah, we do.
Okay.
You should see him.
I'm not surprised.
It's why Gussie's so sweet.
He consumes that much honey.
And I went to, what was I using honey for?
Oh, I think I made a little honey soy tofu for Lucia.
And I used the last bits of it.
I went, oh my God, he's going to have none for his breakfast.
So I code yellowed him.
And he did a pit stop on the way home from the gym.
Did you just text code yellow and he knew?
He knew.
Code yellow.
I said, why?
They picked me up some more Babybel.
What color is that?
I guess that could.
Code red?
Oh, no.
It's got the red wax, but I guess the cheese is a yellowy white.
So that's a bit curious.
You're crossing your codes.
You can't be doing that.
No, no.
Hey, up next, Shy Guy invented a new game, which went straight to air.
We did not beta test, but we loved it so much last week.
Babs and I are going to play again.
What's the threesome?
What's the threesome?
We'll play next.
Babs is going to be quiz master, actually, for this one.
What?
Yeah, we're mixing it up.
Because I'm in the hot seats.
I'm going to be playing.
I think Shy Guy won it.
I want to play.
So you and I are versing each other.
Yeah.
After Ed Sheeran's Azizem. I was not involved in that
meeting. You don't have to be.
Jess and Ducko.
One, two, three,
three, three. Jess and Ducko's
What's the threesome?
Everybody loves all...
This was a game invented by Shy Guy just a
week ago and we had a real good time
of it. However,
without Ducko here, everything is sort of
topsy-turvy. Well, we've just rotated
the chairs. You have rotated the
chairs, which, okay, I see
what you've done there. Babs is
sitting in what used to be your chair
and you've made her quiz master
this week. Which is what I would have been quiz master had
Ducko been here. That's right, but Babs said,
I ain't panelling, I ain't sitting in that chair.
I would have been playing, not eating toast.
Okay, well, playing and eating toast.
You could have done two in one.
Yeah.
You have that luxury.
But what it is, Babs is going to give us, loud luxury, Babs is going to give us three
things, three people, three objects.
We are going to tell her what they all have in common, I guess.
What's the threesome?
No names as your buzzers.
There's only two of us.
Play along at home.
I'd say text in, but it moves pretty fast, this game.
Good luck.
It does.
I'm nervous.
All right.
First three.
Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole.
Damn it.
It was rappers.
Correct.
Thank you.
Damn it.
All right.
Yoda, Chewbacca.
Star Wars.
I'm going to give it to Jess.
Do we need the dings?
I think we need the dings.
Yeah.
All right.
See you later.
Good.
That's less I have to do.
I'll take that.
Thank you.
Focus, babe.
Focus.
Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps.
Runners.
Simone Biles.
Olympic sport people.
Olympic gold medalists.
Correct.
Thank you.
American Olympic gold medalists.
Yes.
Well, you could have just said. Oh, sorry. Usain Bolt is not American. My apologies. Jamaican. Yeah. That was Correct. Thank you. American Olympic gold medalists. Yes. Well, you could have just said...
Oh, sorry.
Usain Bolt is not American.
My apologies.
Jamaican.
Yeah, but that was correct.
Thank you.
Well done.
Damn.
YouTube, Twitch and...
Streaming.
Video streaming, bloggers, vlogs.
Social media?
No.
It was...
Oh.
Video streaming.
Video streaming.
Vloggers, things.
Yes.
I didn't like being Christmas.
He needs to finish.
She needs to finish all three. You can't be just jumping into the first one. Yeah, stop yelling at me. You did. Yes. I didn't like being in this mask. He needs to finish. She needs to finish all three.
You can't be just jumping into the first one.
Yeah, stop yelling at me.
You did.
No, I didn't.
I waited for all three.
For the Star Wars one, you didn't.
I'll take that feedback on myself.
All right, new rule.
She has to say all three.
New rule, all three.
Okay.
Peppa Pig, Bluey, Paw Patrol.
Kids TV show characters.
Cartoon characters.
No.
Children's animated characters.
ABC shows.
ABC?
No, not ABC.
Cartoon kids.
Kids.
Main character.
Kids little girls?
No.
Kids TV shows.
Correct.
Kids TV shows.
Did I say that?
No, you said characters.
Oh.
And you said ABC.
Okay.
But yes.
Oh, she's being really specific.
Yeah, you've got to in this game.
Yeah, good.
Super Mario, Luigi and Bowser.
Oh, Mario Brothers characters.
No.
Mario Kart characters.
Sure, yeah.
Oh, no.
I don't want a sure.
But however, do it because it makes it interesting.
Yeah, it makes it interesting.
Can we have a score update?
You guys are tied.
Yeah.
Okay, so should we do next point wins?
Love it.
All right.
Sure.
Hang on.
What did you have as the actual answer for that one?
It was just like Mario Universe characters.
Oh, okay.
So this is why I don't want to be Quizmaster because this is Shy Guy's document.
Whoa, whoa.
What's that mean?
He prepared this?
No, ChatGPT did it last week.
Okay, ready?
So you've seen them?
No, I didn't read them.
I copied and pasted them into a document.
Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande and Selena Gomez.
Pop Singers.
No.
Disney, former Disney people.
Correct.
Yes.
Shout out to you guys for being the actual winning of the game.
Well done.
He's an expert at the menage.
Jess and Zucko.
Kendrick with Scissor.
Oh, sorry.
Good morning.
Drifted off there.
It's not the best song, but it's Babs' favourite,
and she was like, Shy Guy, you have to play Kendrick and Scissor.
It's my favourite song.
Why do I sound like that?
Amazing impression.
Someone DM'd, oh, was it yesterday?
Yes, it was yesterday where Shy Guy showed me what my dog would look like as a human version.
And then we did a little piece to camera just to live on the Jess and Ducko story.
And he went so rogue.
And that many people replied going,
Shy Guy's losing his shy.
Yeah, I know.
See what happens when we hang out, just you and I?
It rubs off a bit, doesn't it?
Yeah.
Anyway.
Never be sick in radio, they say.
Alpha Bucks, $10,000 if you want to get your hands on that.
It's a last chance before we do go on break.
And Shy Guy is desperate.
I've got the briefcase, the handcuffs, the combination.
It's all ready to go.
Yeah.
We just needed...
And he's also got the money.
Blah.
The last chance we'll have, Jess, to give this money away.
I know.
We are taking a cheeky Easter break, of course,
but then joining Ducko on
paternity leave.
So, we'd love to
do it today, to really
send the vibes through the roof
and supercharge your Easter long
weekend. The question is, shy
guy, is Tiffany up
for the challenge? Let's find out. Morning, Tiffany.
Good morning, and yes, I'm certainly
up for the challenge. Yes! What's motivating you today?. Good morning. And yes, I'm certainly up for the challenge. Yes.
Queen, what's motivating you today?
What do you want to spend $10,000 on?
It's nothing exciting.
I've got three cars that all need new tyres and services.
So, you know, it's an added expense that you don't need at ESA,
but it's something that has to happen.
100%.
So let us give you the money so it doesn't feel any more bitter
than it already is.
Absolutely.
Yeah, for us to do that for you, Tiffany, you need to go through the rules first.
I'm going to do that for you now.
30 seconds to answer all 10 questions, all starting with the same letter, which we'll
give you in a sec.
If you get all 10 of those questions right, you will get that $10,000 to fix up those
cars.
We must take your first answer.
You can't say the same answer twice.
If you're unsure of a question, pass, and we'll come back to it if there's time.
Don't say skip, all right?
Okay.
Tiff, it is a solid letter for your girlfriend.
We couldn't have made this any easier.
You're going to work with the letter S.
S for solid.
S for solid.
S for skip, which you're not allowed to say, okay?
Okay.
Let's do it, Tiff, for the cars, for the bills.
Your time will start after the first question.
Starting with the letter S, we need you to name something you'd find in the kitchen.
Salt.
A herb.
Salt, untrue.
A TV show.
Sex and the City. A sharp object.
An app.
A hobby.
A country.
An ice cream topping.
A car brand.
A singer.
I mean.
Not the worst we've had.
No, but cilantro starts with a C.
And I always said it and then I remembered and I was like, damn, like English, come on.
No, no, that's okay.
A very American cilantro, isn't it?
We'd call it coriander here, but.
Valiant, though.
She kept going even though she knew.
It also shows my English skills.
I ticked that one. I knew you would have ticked it.
That's why I got in before you said anything.
Well, we know about that one.
We passed on a car brand, Saab, Subaru, Suzuki, the rest of them.
And a singer, your girl.
I mean, I know it was right on the back.
Sabrina Carpenter, Selena Gomez.
So what'd she end up with?
Every day, twice a day.
I think I got six.
Is that what you got?
Babs, you got six?
Yep, Babs got six.
Yep, S for six.
Six are the best, T, and you don't walk away empty-handed.
That's right.
You do get $100 to spend at Minx Adult Boutique,
minxwith3xs.com.au.
That's all yours, Tiffany.
Awesome. Thanks, guys. Happy's all yours, Tiffany. Awesome.
Thanks, guys.
Happy Easter.
Happy Easter to you.
Thank you so much for joining the show.
We are taking some paternity leave, Tiff,
so we'll be back very soon for more Bites at the Cherry, okay?
Awesome.
Thanks, guys.
Thanks, babe.
Up next, Shy Guy.
I need the rice cookers to come with me on this journey
because I already know you're nervous about what I'm going to ask of them,
the question I want them to answer.
Yep.
Sorry.
I mean, you've had four days.
I know, but I keep that bong thing.
You've got to drag that down before they make the bong.
That's in your control.
I know, but I forget to do it.
It feels so brutal, the bong.
It's like, I don't want to talk to you guys anymore.
Now my boss is going to be like, you talk too long, you're in the alpha box.
Oh, now the bed's run out.
Now the bed's run out.
Anyway, you're going to get, you need help from the rice hookers next.
All right.
We'll play Alex Warren now.
See, this I like.
This is ordinary.
Yeah.
It's anything but.
It's also the name of the song, too.
Jess and Ducko.
I had a moment yesterday, guys.
I was driving my 18-month-old to this beautiful sensory garden experience
and it's about 50 minutes from where I live and she's not great in the car.
So any second longer we have to spend does start getting the blood a bit boiling.
I start getting a bit anxious because there's windows, you know,
before she gets hungry or unsettled or uncomfortable.
On the way out there, no problem.
But on the way home, what should have been, I think it was a hundred zone, we are crawling at like 20, 30 k's an hour.
Oh, crap.
There must be roadworks up ahead.
I didn't notice it.
You know, it's a highway situation.
So my three lanes of traffic and the three lanes going the opposite direction, there's trees or something in between. I didn't notice this on the way in. Doesn't matter.
Let's get through it. Let's get through it. As we start getting closer, I can see it's not
roadworks, but it's a bit of an accident. There's a flashing light situation on the other side of
the road, not even the road that we were on,
direction of traffic, and I start grumbling to Lucia in the back.
Oh, my God.
Why do people have to be such sticky beakers?
Why do we need to go?
Just stay in your lane, people.
Drive.
This doesn't affect you.
Yeah, exactly.
Can we just go?
I understand, obviously, when there's emergency vehicles on your side of the traffic, you do have to stop to 40.
This is on the complete other side.
I'm talking five lanes over with trees in the middle.
Grumbling, grumbling, grumbling.
What did Lucia say back to them?
She went, ram, ram, ram.
She says, ga, for everything.
So I think she was in agreeance.
Ga, yeah, ga.
As we, though, roll past this accident, I went, oh, look at that.
Yeah, it's easy to have a sticky beak.
Because the three cars involved look like they were from Wacky Races.
Do you remember that show where it was a deep cut old show?
It was a cartoon.
Don't, shy guy.
No, he's doing it.
Don't.
I think I have to.
I think I have to. I think I have to.
Sorry, Jess.
That's just far too niche.
Wacky races.
They had all funny cars.
They were all wacky.
Never, ever.
Anyway, they were three kind of old-timey, old-school cars,
and I think they'd all bumper-to-bumper hit each other.
Oh, no.
So there was a bit of commotion.
But I just caught myself audibly going,
ooh, look at those cars,
and went, oh, that's what I was just whinging about,
everyone having a sticky beak.
And then I did it as well.
It's annoying when everyone else has a sticky beak,
but I'm allowed to, I guess.
When I came home and shared this with Angus, he went, oh,
I totally get it.
He does a lot of, you know, handyman stuff at one of the venues
that he works at and it's a bit of an open situation.
There's an atrium there.
And he hates when people will just stop and watch him work.
He might be up a scissor lift or it's not like he's shirtless
and putting on a show, but he just feels the eyes on him, you know,
blokes walking past or families, whatever.
However, when he's walking past a job site, he will stop down and go, oh, what tool are
they using there?
And what's going on over here?
Hey, Lucia, check out the machinery.
Yeah.
So again, it's a, I can do it, but it's annoying when anyone else does it.
Yeah.
You guys picking up what I'm putting down?
I mean, I can relate to that.
I live in a share house, obviously, with two other girls.
And one of my biggest pet peeves, I don't know why,
I hate when people walk with their shoes on, on the carpet, inside the house.
I hate it.
What are they bringing in, Babs?
Yes, especially we have a small house and it seems to just pick up, like,
dirt and gross, yeah, floors very quickly.
I don't want to be vacuuming and mopping every single day.
And I do, because I am home probably the most out of everyone,
I do a lot of vacuuming.
But one of my pet peeves is when someone comes home and they're like,
oh, hi, I'm home, that all I can zero in on is their shoes.
I'm like, you've got your shoes on, take them off.
But when I come home, I do the exact same thing.
And I'm just like, oh, my shoes aren't dirty.
Do you?
Whatever.
Will you tiptoe around your own house?
Because I'm like, the whole sole of my foot is not on the ground.
Doesn't count.
Sometimes I'm like, oh, it's fine.
I've just been at work.
There's nothing on my shoe.
But then if someone else does it, I'm like, take your shoes off.
I can do it, but it's annoying when other people do it.
Shaga, you had a moment pot calling kettle black?
Yeah.
It's more like I hate when people put an out of office on,
but they still reply to emails. Yes. But I've been known to do that too. Okay. If you're I hate when people put an out of office on, but they still reply to emails.
Yes.
But I've been known to do that too.
Okay.
But it feels okay if I'm doing it.
If you're out of office, you're out of office.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
But I do it too.
You do it too.
So I'm like, nah, it annoys me.
But if I'm doing it to you, does it annoy you back?
It's exactly what I'm looking for.
So 13, 10, 60.
It's annoying when other people do it, but it's okay when I do it.
Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. It's annoying when other people do it, but it's okay when I do it.
What we are asking for on 131060.
It's okay when I do it, but God, it annoys me when other people do it.
I was stuck in 20K traffic yesterday on what should have been a 100K road and I was grumbling to the toddler like,
it's obviously an accident, Everyone's having a sticky beak.
As soon as I got past it though, I was like, oh, look at that.
Out loud and I just caught myself.
What a hypocrite.
Hot calling the kettle black.
I did make reference, shy guy, and I was met with blank stares
from both you and Babs.
The three cars involved, I don't know if it was a breakdown or a pilot,
but they all looked like they'd come out of the wacky races. I don't know if it was a breakdown or a pilot, but they all looked like they'd come out of the Wacky Races.
Yeah, I don't know what the Wacky Races are.
No, it was a cartoon show, I think from the early 90s.
Jason's my guy.
He texts through 0488881069.
Wacky Races, yeah, we dig dastardly.
Muttley and Penelope Pitstop.
Muttley was the dog?
Muttley was the dog and he had this real breathy laugh.
Go on.
Like, oh, no, I don't do it really.
My dad laughs like that.
Do you want to try again?
Make me laugh and I'll try and do a Muttley.
I can't.
There you go.
Go.
Let's go to Sophie.
Okay, you work on that.
Hi, Sophie.
Morning, Sophie.
Hello, how are you?
Good, thanks, babe.
We're going to stop talking about Muttley,
and I want to know, have you had a moment where you can say,
ah, pot calling the kettle black?
What's okay when you do it, but it's annoying when other people do it?
Well, it drives me crazy when people chew with their mouth open,
and I let them know, because it's just the worst.
It's just the worst sound.
But then when I'm really enjoying my food or I'm really hungry,
I chew with my mouth open and I just love it.
I love doing it.
Absolutely.
Don't you feel like you want everyone else at the table to just really be
in this sensory experience with you?
So watch me chew with my mouth open.
Yeah.
That's fantastic.
Exactly what we're looking for.
So thanks for getting involved. Amelia on 131060. Hi. Yeah. That's fantastic. Exactly what we're looking for. So thanks for getting involved.
Amelia on 131060.
Hi. Hi.
You didn't even say hello. You can't just say their name.
I said hi, Amelia. No, you didn't. You said Amelia on 131060.
Sorry. Hi, Amelia.
Hi, guys.
What's okay when
you do it, but annoying when other
people do it?
People just like breathe loudly.
I'm breathing just near me.
Yes.
But then have you been called out on breathing loudly?
Yes, I have.
Okay, by who?
Like someone in your family or colleagues?
Yeah, my friends, my family.
I breathe loudly apparently, but that's fine.
It's just not okay when you do it.
100%.
You're allowed to, Amelia.
Thank you for getting involved.
Hi, Dana. I'm 131060.
Good morning, guys.
Oh, good morning, Dana.
What's okay when you do it but just
drives you up the wall when other people do it?
Fart.
Great.
My partner in particular.
Yeah, do they do particularly smelly ones?
He's a protein drinker daily, so you can imagine the smell.
Absolutely.
But I imagine, Dana, you constantly reprimanding him,
maybe telling him.
My mum used to be like, go into the toilet if you're going to do a vlog.
Walk into the bathroom.
I kick him out every night.
Yeah, but then hang on a minute.
Are you princess perfect yourself?
Absolutely not.
When I do it, it's hilarious.
Are they better than his, Dana?
Oh, they're probably not better, but sometimes they're louder.
Yeah, see, that's my favourite meme about farts is people
who don't find farts funny are just doing themselves a disservice
because you've got to live in this world with just the same amount of farts
but less laughter.
A fart is always funny.
Not my friend if you don't find farts funny.
Oh, 100%.
Thank you, Dane.
I appreciate you.
Hey, Daniel on 131060, what's annoying when other people do it?
But it's okay when you do it.
It's all right when I do it, but sit in the right-hand lane in the highway.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, Daniel, I feel you, brother.
I had a guy absolutely up my bum yesterday.
I was doing the speed limit, though.
Like, why do I have to get out of the right lane
when I'm doing the right thing?
I normally yell at them, but it's all right when I do it.
Okay, fair.
Maybe it was you.
Maybe.
Jess and Daco.
Are you okay?
Yeah, no.
The feed has just switched on me
And I just had a little brain fart
Anyway
It's 8.31 here on Hit with Jess and Ducko
Pooey, you stink
Go to the toilet
My mum would say
If you're going to do a fart
No, I'm not doing that
I don't poo at work
I told you that
What about fart?
I'll fart at work
But not in the confines
Unlike you
I'll wait till the room's empty
It's bad to hold it in
That's toxic gas
And hope that the aircon sucks it up
Before you guys get back Aircons blow outwards Not's bad to hold it in. That's toxic gas. And hope that the aircon sucks it up before you guys get back.
Aircons blow outwards, not inwards.
No, that thing there, that's the sucker.
That's the in...
Did you know that, Babs?
Did you know we had a sucker and a blower?
No, I didn't.
No, I didn't.
What?
How less is the room going to...
It's got to take the hot air out of the room and push it cold out of that.
So then I'll get it then.
Hang on.
If you hold... Babs, hold that paper up again.
Are you telling me?
I'm not that tall.
No, no.
But in my, like, house where I have the venting.
You'll have one of these, yeah.
You're telling me.
I do have something like that.
Of course you do.
So is that sucking up air?
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
This is the dumbest thing I've ever.
God, it's been a dumb week.
Babs is.
See?
Wow, okay. Babs is currently trying to throw a piece of paper at what Shy Guy is arguing is a suction vent.
Yeah, it's the inlet for the air con.
Yeah, which is not sucking up the piece of paper.
Well, I'm telling you, if you work in air conditioning or compressors, 131060, we want to talk to you.
Does every room have a suction vent?
Well, ours does in this because it's a control environment.
Well, we would think you were just disproven
because that did not suck up the piece of paper.
Well, maybe it's not sucking right now
because the room's at the optimal temperature.
It is optimal.
I'm feeling very comfortable.
13, 10, 60.
If you work in air conditioning, give us a call.
You can verify this information.
No one's calling.
Well, we're in delay.
Because people don't want to embarrass you.
Oh, hang on. My dad just texted me. Oh, here we go. What's he in? Well, we're in delay. Because people don't want to embarrass you. Oh, hang on.
My dad just texted me.
Oh, here we go.
What's he in?
He said yes.
He works in air con.
He does not.
Yes, vent.
Yeah.
He does air conditioning.
He just said yes, vent.
Two words.
All right.
Thank you.
We'll take that.
What's your dad's name again?
Dennis.
Damien.
Damien.
Sorry.
Damo.
That's all I needed, Damo.
You're telling me every room has a...
The chugger's cutting me off with Teddy Swims.
I could have talked about that for another five minutes.
Well, we're early.
We still might.
But we've got wordy-okey to do first.
Baz's got some words and we'll see where we go after that.
We'll just talk about the air conditioner in the studio here.
That's right.
Because I said to Juggie, what do you do when you need to fart?
Do you leave the room?
You said, no, you wait till it's clear at least and hope that the suction vent or the air con sucks the smell away.
Sucks it away.
You blew my mind.
I had no idea what you're talking about.
Yeah.
We asked for someone who is in air cons to give us a call.
And then Babs went, oh, hang on a minute.
My dad's just text.
Damo works in this area.
He was very quick to just say, yes, vent,
which we think he means he's agreeing with Shiger,
but we have more intel.
Yeah, so he texted through and said,
so the suction up recirculates round and round.
So he's saying, so when you...
Quick, quick, quick, round, round.
Hang on, Keep talking.
So when you fart, it just goes round and round the room.
Wait.
Quick.
Quick.
It's not active.
We're losing the moment.
It's not active.
We're losing the moment.
So when you fart, it just goes round and round the room.
Nah.
Oh.
Wait.
Give him one more chance.
So when you fart.
It's not. It just goes round and round
We have so many songs and I can't
So hang on
So it's not going up there
He's saying yes
It's recirculating
So that's what he's saying
So if you fart in this room it's just going to keep going round and round
So into the suction vent and then out the air con vent.
I'm assuming that's what he means.
It's the same air.
Isn't there like some sort of filter or something?
I don't know.
Just that's what he said.
A HEPA filter?
Is that what that is?
I don't know.
HEPA?
H-E-P-A?
I don't know.
I thought HEPA was some sort of cow.
That's HEPA.
HEPA.
Yeah, what did you say?
HEPA.
Oh, HEPA. That's hefa Hefa Yeah what did you say? Hepa Oh hepa
If you work in Dyson's
We would like you to call 131060
Well thank you Damo
I actually feel educated
Well that's good
So yeah don't fart in here
Because it just goes round and round
Yes shite
Alright
You're the stench
Hey you're the fader in this room
At least I wait till you guys leave the room
Jess and Daco
I'm delirious
Yeah you're delirious.
It's bittersweet because we love what we do.
Yeah.
But with the Easter long weekend starting tomorrow,
obviously Good Friday, this is our last show together.
The vibes are so high.
We met via the phone, I guess, Florence,
Ducko and Morgan's baby this week.
So it's just really good times in here.
So let's finish with one of our favourite yet divisive games.
Please, words of my own.
Word up.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Word-yokey.
All right, Babs has her words.
She is Quizmaster again for the second time today.
Yeah, Quizmaster, you've been working overtime today.
I know, yeah.
If you would like to see a little BTS of Babs,
you can head to the Jess and Ducko Instagram story now as well.
Shy Guy and I are going to go head-to-head trying to sing a song
that has at least the word in it that Babs gives us now.
All right.
So Shy Guy won last week too, Jess.
He's been on a roll.
Yeah, he has been on a roll lately.
He has won the last couple of weeks, I think.
Usually when we play this game, Ducko's strategy is to just think out loud by just going, ah, ooh, ah, ah.
Yeah, and then it goes, somewhere down the rainbow.
And it really throws me off.
It's so distracting.
Without that, let's see how strong you are.
We might ace this.
Or it'll just be quiet.
Yeah.
Just be mute.
It's all right.
We've got the bed.
It's all right.
Great.
Your first word is gold.
You are gold. Gold. Gold. Your first word is gold. You are gold!
Gold!
Always believe in your soul.
You've got the power to know.
Spando Ballet coming in handy.
And you know what the funny thing is?
I didn't even write that down as an option.
I didn't even remember that that was a thing.
Thank you.
Alright, point to Jess.
Okay.
I put down Shy Guy, point to Jess.
Alright, next word is human.
Are we human?
Are we dancers?
I'm only human.
Who was first, Babs?
I put your blame on me.
Jess did just put more oomph into that.
I'm going to have you on oomph every day of the week, Shy Guy.
So another point to Jess.
Let's go on the board, Shy Guy.
I think I'll go to the audio.
I think I was first, but I'll take it.
I'll take the Christmas.
No, just talk louder.
All right.
Next word is hotel.
Hotel.
Hotel.
Holiday Inn.
Okay.
That's a tie.
Okay.
That's null and void.
Next word.
Friday.
Friday.
Saturday.
Sunday.
What?
On Friday.
Oh, God.
Who gets the point?
That is a strong. That was a bit tired too.
So I'm going to, I'm not going to give anyone that one.
Okay.
Next, I'm going to run out of words.
Next word is happiness.
Happiness with you.
Babs knows where it's at.
Yeah.
Electra Stewart.
Yes.
That's a great song.
We were listening to that yesterday,
and Boss Jase was really getting into it.
Yeah, favorite song, I think, for Boss Jase.
That's a great pop banger.
Yeah, so Shy Guy's back on the board.
Thank you.
Right, next word is child.
Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.
Heaven's got a plan for you.
Shy Guy did just come in a little bit earlier than you Jess
But you did get points for
I don't think you're counting my ooh coming in
But you're the quiz master
I'm not going to be a brat
So whoever wins the next point wins the game
Are you ready?
Yep
The final word is
Meat
Can you do the spelling, please?
M-E-E-T.
Meet me at the apparté, apparté, apparté, apparté.
All right.
Did you just throw that?
Did you throw that?
No.
No, I didn't know what meat.
That's your favourite song.
I did apparté the other week for this, didn't I?
You may have.
I don't know.
Could have been me as well.
Anyway, well done.
Anyway, why am I questioning it?
Who cares?
Jess won.
Woo-hoo!
Jess and Ducco.
Savvy cats, busy woman here on Hit with Jess and Ducco.
That's the last time I'm going to back announce a song for a while, I think.
That's right.
We are taking, obviously, the Easter long weekend,
but then we're going to join Ducko on paternity leave.
How good.
For a couple of weeks, Chaga, I must say,
for how much schtick we give each other,
you have been absolutely exceptional in the hot seat.
Thank you.
It's made me feel like I haven't expressed my gratitude
for how well Ducko does that job.
You know, you take it for granted.
You do.
I take it for granted.
He's just so good, you know, anchoring, panelling.
There's five computer screens, 40 buttons.
You had to sit up in that chair, obviously,
while he was helping Florence make her entry into the world
and support beautiful Morgan.
But you also had to chat and bring the energy and the vibes all week.
So thank you very much.
You've been exceptional.
No worries.
Thank you.
But, yes, you're off the hook now.
That was your last job doing that.
First and last.
I've never done this side of the job before ever.
So this is my fourth day doing this ever.
And I don't know, usually people do radio for like 10 years
and they get this sort of opportunity.
And I've just been like, yeah, sure.
Well, I really appreciate it.
You know, Boss Jase came in day one and said,
I wouldn't have given you the hot seat, put you in the hot seat,
if I didn't think you had it in you.
After giving me a lot of feedback, though.
I still don't know what it means.
Talk through your diaphragm.
What does that mean?
Let's get, we should get Shy Guy a singing coach.
Oh, yeah.
A diaphragm expert.
That's a good idea.
Let's take a couple weeks.
We'll regroup, miss each other a little bit,
come back with a singing coach.
But by extension, Babs, you too.
Thank you very much.
Well done, Babs.
We've had such a great weekend.
To the comments, the messages, the DMs we've had
and people engaging on the phone,
thank you for sticking with us.
We know everything slightly off kilter without Ducko here,
but we hope you've had as much fun as we have
and we hope this Easter long weekend
and school holidays or
whatever is on the horizon for you is just so wonderful.
But Babs, a daily blog.
It was a big ask.
Yeah.
For someone relatively private.
This one today wasn't very good, but that's okay.
We push on.
Have you had much feedback from Boss Jase?
Yeah, he does usually.
In our meetings on a Monday.
One-on-one.
Yeah, he now tries to find fun things about
me and I pretty much tell him the same thing every
week. Jase, I go home and read a book
and go to bed. Have a little teary at
3pm. He said, don't do that, go out and do something
and I'm like, well. Live your life, Babs.
Live your life. Yeah, so we'll be gone
for a few weeks. It'll be a best of show and play.
So we'll be around, but just not here. Look, I'm not
fishing, but I gave you both a compliment.
Oh yeah, sorry. Jesse's been amazing. You've be around, but just not here. Look, I'm not fishing, but I gave you both a compliment. Oh yeah, sorry. Jess, you've been amazing.
You've really pulled back and
just, you know. I know,
because Daco and I usually hang out on the same
level. Without him,
I've had to really put a muzzle on my skin.
You've adapted. Adapted. You've done very well.
I'm a chameleon. I mean, you've just been
new, which is the easiest thing you could have done for us.
Yeah, exactly. I've put no new effort
or tried any different.
No, you've worked harder, I think, if anything,
and I thank you for that because it's a struggle over here sometimes.
The desk has not played very nicely.
Yeah, you're trying to also carry us and get us to do things too.
No, but we've had so much fun.
We have.
I was just joshing.
Well, when we come back, though, Jess,
we've got something exciting that we'll announce now.
Very exciting.
Not only have I tasked Shy Guy Babs with really making sure
Ducko feels the love when he returns,
he's in charge of the welcome back party.
Whether that looks like a wedding of the baby's head
and whether that looks like many rice cookers being able to join,
I'll leave that up to Mr Guy.
But something we are going to work on over the break
and then come back with a bang.
We are looking for the best of the worst when it comes to your undies.
We are putting on a little bit of a fashion show.
The stakes couldn't be higher because the prizes couldn't be higher.
So stick around, keep an eye out on our social media for that
and the HIT website, of course, hit.com.au.
We're also going to have a couple of State of Origin tickets.
Yeah, we are.
That's right.
Ducko, you know, from the maternity ward was like,
what are we doing about the footy?
State of Origin is coming.
Well, that's the thing with Flo.
Technically born in New South Wales.
It's going to be a real tough combo for him.
He is a very proud maroon.
Maroon?
What is it?
I don't know the correct word.
Maroon or maroon? Maroon. He's a very proud maroon. Oh, I don is it? I don't know the correct word. Maroon or maroon?
Maroon.
He's a very proud maroon.
Oh, I don't know.
I don't go for them.
Who cares?
I remember him saying he really wanted to work out how he could just, like,
speed Morgan across the border so she would actually give birth in Queensland.
But, yeah, so we'll stick around for that double pass or family pass,
whatever it might be.
As we said, have a wonderful, safe, long weekend.
Don't forget, double demerits kick in today.
I saw all the banners around yesterday.
Yes, they do.
And if you want to catch any of this week's shows on the Listener app
or any other show from, I don't know, two years ago,
if you want to go on this day last year, you can do that if you want.
It's all on the Listener app.
Exactly.
And make sure you're following Jess and Ducca on the socials.
A lot of behind the scenes from today that I'm very excited to post.
Yeah, it's been crazy.
Yeah.
I saw a guy lift his hands up above his head, Babs.
Yeah.
Saw his belly.
Oh.
So?
I know the rice cookers will be excited.
Because you just reveal nothing about yourself.
Yeah, he has a stomach.
Yeah.
Believe it or not, I have a stomach, everyone.
All right, we'll see you when we're back.
Happy Easter.
Bye-bye. Bye. Did you know that, Babs? Did you know we had a sucker and a blower? not, I have a stomach, everyone. All right, we'll see you when we're back. Happy Easter. Bye-bye.
Bye.
Did you know that, Babs?
Did you know we had a sucker and a blower?
No, I didn't.
God, it's been a dumb week.
Jess and Ducco.
That was the Jess and Ducco podcast.
Hot honey has dropped at Macca's for a limited time only.
Embrace the drip.
