Surprise Fries is back at Macca's with a one in three chance to win millions of prizes.
Jess and Ducco, this is the Jess and Ducco podcast.
Hi everyone.
Hello.
It's podcast time.
It is podcast time and Ducco, our text line absolutely popping off.
Don't do that.
0488881069.
I always enjoy when people DM us and go, what's the text line?
I'm like, you can just leave your message here. You've already started. I love it. The text line is gospel. But I always reply when people DM us and go, what's the text line? I'm like, you can just leave your message here.
You've already started.
I love it.
The text line is gospel.
But I always reply with the number.
You can get in touch.
We've got many pipes.
But things are popping off.
One I just wanted to drill down on.
This is my baby, what's going to be playing for the Morgan Push playlist.
Of course, the Push playlist.
We are building.
Morgan's given us the ability to contribute.
Contribute.
It's hard when you contribute's hard when you say contribute.
I tried to start saying Caribbean because I just thought it sounded more fun than Caribbean,
but it's really hard to rewire your brain.
It is.
I don't know why.
You know what's another one that gets me?
What the hell's that word?
Appreciate.
Appreciate.
Which one is it?
People who say schedule.
Oh, yeah.
What's schedule?
Schedule.
Schedule.
Schedule.
Schedule.
I think I say schedule.
Are you a schedule?
I actually don't know now.
Our boss says pool.
Have you noticed that?
I have not noticed what I was going to say.
He really elongates the O.
Because South Australians do that.
They say like gals instead of girls.
Yes.
Gals.
Anyway, the reason I wanted to bring up the text line.
Yes.
Melissa text through.
She had a suggestion.
What's good, Mel?
She's in Ordinary by Alex Warren.
I don't actually know that song.
But she just wanted to say, I'm so glad to hear you are making a playlist.
Yes.
Because when she was giving birth, she had the radio on.
They were telling mums to close their legs and hold babies in because
the baby bonus was going to jump to
$5,000. So it was like an
ad saying, if you're giving
birth today, hold on!
Because tomorrow it'll be better for you.
She said, it made me so angry in the moment.
But then the news came on. Because obviously
it's the radio. News plays every half an hour.
You're getting David Dolan. A story about
a dad and a son dying in a boating accident.
She wrote Good Luck, Guys.
See, you don't want that.
You don't want that.
I'd rather our podcast.
That's what I said to Morgan.
If we don't have this push-pull, can we put the Jess and Ducko podcast on?
You know?
Come on.
Your daughter's first sounds will be of gags, of banter, of laughter, of great times.
And us shit-canning and piling on Shy Guy.
I mean, what a better way to be welcomed into the world.
And Shy Guy's going to be in there too.
Oh, it'll be wonderful.
What's the show going to do when you and me are both off for those couple of weeks?
Shy Guy.
Are you going to do the show?
I suppose you could do the show from the hospital.
One of our two major thinkers.
I actually couldn't do the show remotely.
You couldn't.
So, Babs, you're really going to need to step up.
You need to press the button. Oh, true. Bro, I can't press the button. We're going to have to build a panel do the show remotely. You couldn't. So, Babs, you're really going to need to step up. You need to press the button.
Oh, true.
Bro, I can't press the button.
We're going to have to build a panel in the operating theatre.
Don't say operating.
Delivery room.
Delivery room.
Whatever, mate.
I don't know what the lingo is.
I know you don't.
That's why you're coming along.
It's an excursion.
To learn.
We're all going to learn.
Babs, it could just be you and me, Babs.
The guy down the line.
The sisterhood.
Babs, you can push buttons.
Oh, sure.
I don't know what they do.
Have you been learning this?
I thought you were trying to learn it.
We always say that we teach. Yeah, I want to learn, but it's a bit buttons. Oh, sure. I don't know what they do. Have you been learning this? I thought you were trying to learn it. We always say that we teach.
Yeah, I want to learn, but it's a bit hard.
It's hard.
You can't really learn during our show because you're busy.
And then after the show, it's like you're busy.
It would be so daunting watching over Ducko's shoulder, particularly on a day like today.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was a lot going on.
It was a lot going on.
And he has to do it all shy.
Not every day, but.
I can do what he can from the lappy tea.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I literally sit here and I go, I just won't talk.
Sometimes I realise I'm chatting.
I'm like, he is sweating bullets over there trying to get this shit done.
It's hard because this new system we've got, normal songs are active.
So I'm trying to find songs and then you put it in, they're not active.
So it takes 20 seconds to activate them.
And you know, the songs in the playlist are getting shorter and shorter.
Dotchy is only doing a two minute song.
It's like, that's not enough time, babe.
I should just ask engineering to activate every song.
Do you reckon they will do it? Well, they're in the system 15 times each.
Why don't we whittle them down to one?
I know, because every station needs their own version,
because that was a previous time.
Oh, is that what it is?
You've got every station's version,
which is all those other stations we've got,
but then you've got the clean edits,
and you've got the instrumental edits,
and you've got the mix.
Mate, I saw you today, a vinyl edit.
Do we need the vinyl edit?
There's a nine-inch, a seven-inch version.
What does that even mean?
And your brain, just when you're in the moment, you see all these things.
It's like the bus theory, you know, when you get onto a bus
and you can't see where any seats are because everyone's staring at you.
So it's like that.
I've not heard that, but yes, of course.
So it's like everyone's looking at you.
So your brain automatically, you just malfunction.
You don't know where to go, where to sit.
Yes.
Because everyone's facing you and you're trying to find where to go.
Yes.
It's the same theory.
The other bus theory.
Yeah.
How does a car fit in the same lane as a bus?
That's a dumb thought.
Don't use that early.
Save that for tomorrow.
Save that for tomorrow.
Pause.
Pretend you forgot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's ruminate on it tomorrow.
Now I'm going to be a surprise for tomorrow is when it comes out.
Because that is a great, you know.
You brought me onto the bus lane. Yeah, I'm in the bus. So to speak. No, we'll do it out. Because that is a great, you know. You brought me onto the bus lane.
Yeah, I'm in the bus.
So to speak.
No, we'll do it tomorrow.
I've got a bus driver here somewhere.
Oh, jump on the magic school bus.
What's the point of having that if I can't play it right when I need it?
And I think now is one of those ones.
What's that teacher's name?
Always do this.
Miss Briggs.
Magic school bus.
Miss Briggs.
Briggs.
No.
What was that?
That was. That was. Was that bad? No. Oh, my God. That's neighbors. It's. Briggs. What was that? That was...
Was that bad?
Oh, my God.
It's...
Madge.
It's Madge.
Madge is good.
Madge when Harold drifted out to sea.
I've got that next to my...
You've got a frog in her throat?
You know what that's next to?
Hey, man, Madge is 80.
These are my button order, so I've got that.
Yeah, because you know what?
Alphabetical.
Magic to Madge.
Oh, yeah.
Then I got...
And then that is next to...
Okay, we've lost the alphabetical.
And then if you really want to know what that's next to...
Oh, the Ashley Madison theme.
Yeah.
Ashley Madison.
Have you heard this?
No.
I played it on any other day.
It's the Ashley Madison theme. That is a genuine ad for the cheating website. Do you know Ashley Madison, have you heard this? No. I played it on the air the other day. It's Ashley Madison's name.
That is a genuine ad for the cheating website.
Do you know Ashley Madison?
Yeah, they got hacked.
Ashley Madison is a website that you can go on anonymously and say,
yeah, I'm married, but I want to have a little hanky-panky,
and they pair you up with people.
That's not real.
Is that real?
That's real, Matt.
And then they got hacked, and all their subscriber base got phoned.
All of the cheaters got exposed.
Yeah, oh, damn.
That's horrible. But I'm sure a bunch of cheaters then realised All of the cheaters got exposed. Yeah, oh, damn. That's horrible.
But I'm sure a bunch of cheaters then realised their partner was also on the list.
Yeah, they were all on it.
You were on the list too.
And this is Babs' favourite grab.
It's a good grab.
It's a good grab.
Because I got hacked.
Because I got hacked.
Do you have a whole page of, like, drugs and alcohol and then sex?
No, because I don't have enough drugs.
Like, the drugs are the whole ones.
How does your brain work, though, in terms of
I know, take me behind
the curtain, you ADHD
do you know?
You go to Facebook!
Is it like, I know I'm going
into the animal kingdom and there's an
animal kingdom? I've got also, when we go to different
countries. Is there a country page?
I've got a country page.
Brazil?
Czechoslovakia?
America? Of course.
Jerusalem, obviously.
Obviously.
Obviously no one got that one. Sorry.
We don't go there often. No, we don't.
But then I've got a country page. I've got another one
which has other country ones on it too, but
it also has my like, this is my like
regular page. But everything, nothing else is categorised per se.
No.
You don't have Animal Kingdom.
You don't have.
Nah, I don't.
I could do that.
Sex.
You don't have drugs and alcohol.
Wow.
See, that would be on the sex page.
These are all on the same page.
That should be on the final.
That's awesome.
I have a page that I have up 24-7 that I constantly use now.
Which has that splooge.
Yeah, yeah.
And then I, once sound effects aren't getting used on that,
you know what I mean?
Like this is where.
Sorry, Jess.
That's too niche.
Once like you're not about to be retired from this page,
which we always used to use.
Talk to me.
So when we school.
It was a fat gianni when I was dying.
We're not using it anymore.
So now I'm probably going to flip that to my page three.
Do you know what that's been eclipsed by?
You walking.
Yeah.
We're all on the same page.
See, now you guys are coming into my head.
Do you know what we need?
Yeah.
Because it's been brought up a couple of times about you being Princess Leia.
I think we need a Star Wars.
We should.
No, you have the final.
What's the Star Wars theme?
Darth Vader.
I've got the Darth Vader one.
But the Star Wars theme would be different.
What is the Star Wars?
You know where the.
Yes.
With the text rolling up the screen. Yeah. I can think of the opening beat. You do the Star Wars? You know, where the... Yes, with the text rolling up the screen.
Yeah, I can think of the opening beat.
You do a good Jar Jar Binks, by the way.
Thanks so much.
I'm going to need to stop down and comment.
Thank you.
I often get told off for stopping down too much.
I'd love to play, but it's not active.
Let me...
Okay, this is how long it takes me to activate a song.
I'm now trying to activate it.
So you can imagine in the moment, this is really great for live radio.
And now I can play.
Missa, Missa.
Can I give you a little?
Yeah.
Can we play a little game?
Yeah.
Just to see how fast you can find your grabs.
Oh, I hate when you do this.
Or if you don't like that.
I just want to hear more grabs.
But I want to bat them up.
But who knows where they are?
I have six pages of grabs.
Yeah, see, that's so many pages.
I actually do.
I was thinking the other day, I do need to go on a little cull.
It means I'm going to need to sit in here and have a little cull.
Yeah.
Because I've still got...
But you know what the issue is?
I don't hate you, but I don't really want to see your vagina.
I've got a whole Babs page.
Do you know what's so funny?
I literally was about to bat up some Babs things I wanted you to play.
No, I thought you were talking about drugs.
This is going to slay.
I'm going home.
How old are you, Babs?
23.
Josh, it's not for you.
It's for Tucker. You don't get it. I don't know, because I'm 23. I feel like I should be brave enough to old are you, Babs? 23. Josh, it's not for you. It's for Tucker.
You don't get it.
I don't know because I'm 23.
I feel like I should be brave enough to eat a Capsicum.
Absolutely.
Can you get naked for me?
Jess, me and you are on the same cycle.
I don't hate you, but I don't really want to see your vagina.
No, I wanted pudgy.
No, that was broad.
There's a few with nude in there.
There's a few with nude in there.
There's a few nude.
Where's the little pudgy, bro?
I'll get my little pudgy. Get my little pudgy out. That's my favorite, I think. That's a good with nude in there. There's a few with nude in there. Where's the little pudgy, bro? Get my little pudgy.
Get my little pudgy.
That's my favorite, I think.
That's a good way to say it.
I didn't even think about that.
And then Shaga has not so many grabs.
He's only got...
That's what you really need for the guy.
And then prepare your whistles to be wet.
And then my new favorite.
Yep, it's a pretty good bottle.
What about, can you really set the scene for when we go to Germany?
Yeah. So long, can you really set the scene for when we go to Germany? Yeah.
So long, so far.
So far.
And we've got...
Saggy boobies.
My lady cave.
Bit of a wet one for you.
My huge Johnson.
She said cock!
Yeah.
That's also one of my favourites.
She said cock is one of the great grabs.
Oh, that's a great one.
She said cock.
That's fantastic.
So aggressive.
Its testicles falling out, but it was still attached by a bit of sinew at that stage.
I'm trying to bug it back in.
Good morning, Brent.
Scott.
Scott.
Scotty.
No, I know.
As in, what was his name?
He was Scott.
But remember this one?
And he gives me the fattest wedgie ever.
I love that kid.
There's so many good ones.
Who was no out?
Good morning.
What was that guy's name?
Oh, yeah.
Sorry, that's on my regular page.
Is that Brent?
I actually use that more often than you'd think.
I feel like his name was also. Good morning. I thought his name was Kevin. Good morning. I don't know what his name Oh, yeah, sorry, that's on my regular page. Is that Brent? I actually use that more often than you'd think. I feel like his name was also...
Good morning.
I thought his name was Kevin.
Good morning.
I don't know what his name is.
I thought we were calling him Brett.
He lives next to me, so I got...
Good morning.
And then I've got...
Hello.
So you need a whole page of salutations.
Ah.
Yes.
God damn you, Bernie.
And I got Shy Guy's Weekend Anthem.
Bag.
Bag, bag, bag, bag.
They're very...
Have you still got the sausages in the pan?
Because we haven't played that in a while.
I do have it somewhere, but we don't use that much.
The issue is, Ducco, if you and Shanghai do go through that...
Sit.
Going out to Babs.
This is me and Shanghai hanging out on a weekend.
Where Babs makes her soy-sages.
Oh, yeah, she does.
She does.
Because she's young and vegan.
I'm definitely not.
I love meat.
When you go through your... When you go through your wardrobe and you're like,
I'm going to do a cull, and then you go, oh, but I love this.
Oh, but I love this.
Maybe I will wear this.
I'm worried that's what's going to happen with the grabs.
You're like, I will keep it.
A curry for the country.
I love it.
Yeah, you're right.
What was her name?
I'm a hoarder.
I'm a grab hoarder.
Because you just don't know.
You never know when you need it.
I'm a grab hoarder.
The fact that we have so many on a page is what saved it last time.
Exactly.
It fucked up.
What?
Because the ones that were on my page were saved.
Every other one got deleted.
Remember?
So that's why.
It was a natural call.
So the more pages we have, the better.
Oh, page it up.
More pages, baby!
Because imagine in five years' time, God willing, I go to say,
Hey, Babs, get nude and you can't find pudgy.
And that's just weird, isn't it?
Look at my little pudgy.
We can't get her to recreate it because that was so in the moment.
I know, it was in the moment.
She won't do it again.
She'll never do it again.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, save all.
Save all.
Save all.
Okay.
Deez nuts.
Deez nuts is a good one.
Deez nuts is fantastic.
It pops in whenever I need it.
I like the will I be fucked one from you.
I think I've deleted that because it was getting harder for me to play it That's just fantastic. It pops in whenever I need it. I like the will I be fucked one from you. Will I be fucked.
Yeah.
I think I've deleted that because it was getting harder for me to play it because it was sounding
like Jess was swearing on air and it wasn't working.
And I know you've said and flagged you can't go from you into you.
Yeah.
We need more.
I need a button.
Give me a button so I can play some Duck O'Rabs.
We can't afford it.
Oh, it's upsetting.
Oh my God.
Anyway, big show today, guys.
Oh, it's an unbelievable Thursday.
We learned what kind of creatives we are.
Yeah, we did.
And that who works best with who.
Yeah, and you guys work best with us.
That's right.
We don't work best with you, but you work best with us.
Actually, this will be fun, just quickly, before we get off the podcast,
before we go home.
What is our best and worst habits?
What do you like most and least about Jess and I?
Personal or work related?
No, work related.
Work related.
That's a great learning.
Do you want to go individual or do you want to go?
I think individual.
Okay.
Because whilst we are similar, we're very different species.
That's very true.
Yeah.
Babs has to go first.
No.
Should I go first?
That wasn't even English. Should I go first? That wasn't even English.
Should I go first?
This is constructive.
But be very careful.
I'm trying to think.
I'm thinking.
If you could change something.
Yeah, he's thinking.
I don't want to change anything.
No, you don't have to change anything.
No, but I'm like, in terms of what's a habit that you go,
it would be better if you did this instead.
I just thought that was a nicer way to phrase it as opposed to,
I fucking hate this about you.
Either way, I can't name anything.
I also can't name anything I like.
It's all very vanilla.
That's where we have one positive from you.
You guys are always like vibey.
Okay, energy.
Even when it's, you know, energy's always good.
Even when it's grim.
Even when it's grim.
Even on Tuesday.
Even on Tuesday.
We had a great Tuesday this week.
Negatives?
Too vibey. Too vibey. Even on Tuesday. We had a great Tuesday this week. Negatives? Too vibey.
Too vibey.
I'm in a mood.
When either of you text us and say that you're late, you're actually not that late.
Yeah.
Have you noticed I've stopped doing that?
Yeah, I feel like I've stopped too.
Yeah, yeah.
Today I sat on the toilet for longer than usual and I went, I'm going to text.
I went, nope, I'm not going.
I was late today because I did that test before the show in my shower room.
My bathroom.
Shower room. I had one for the shower, one for because I did that test before the show in my shower room. My bathroom. Shower room.
I had one for the shower, one for the tub, one for the toilet.
When is the point where you go, are they coming or not, though?
10 to 6.
10 to 6, okay.
10 to 6?
Yeah, okay.
I've got to move now.
That's a buffer.
We can always start one late.
We could always start later.
I do feel that.
You can play more songs and stuff.
I'm not stressed.
$10 the day we come in like that.
We need to change everything just because no one's. The slippery slope is, yeah feel that. You can play more songs and stuff. I'm not stressed. Ten bucks the day we come in like that. We need to change everything just because no one's...
The slippery slope is, yeah, that.
We start becoming like Jackie Owen rolling in with ten seconds to go.
She can do that.
You know our friend Mark Levy who works for 2GB now?
Good friend of Mark Levy.
He was into a thing with him yesterday, some interview I just saw on Instagram.
Oh, yes.
He gets up at 3.45am to be on air at 9am.
Why?
Why?
He gets up at 3.45am to get to work at 4.30am to read papers and to go over with the team what they've got from work at 4.30am for a 9am show.
Part of my ignorance is Levy's still doing what I think he's doing.
He's on his own.
Yes, he's on his own.
It's talkback.
The issue with what his show is, talkback.
Yeah.
And he can go any topic.
You name a topic, Levy can argue it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And that's obviously how, because he's got every, he must have a photographic memory.
He must.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That is unbelievable.
It's crazy.
That's crazy.
I was like, oh, we get up at five.
But I've heard, Angus is a good friend of Levy's and he listens to his podcast.
Mate, the callers here just want to fight.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Levy can shut pretty listens to his podcast. Mate, the callers he gets just want to fight.
And Levy can shut pretty much everyone down because he's got the knowledge.
But I can't imagine having to do that sort of show.
I actually think we're fairly across a lot.
Like we know a little about a lot in this job.
And I know that when I talk with my mates and go on other conversations,
I'll know most things about pop culture, about politics. But do you find as well, we're coming at it from an entertainment perspective.
So we can keep it light and frivolous.
Whereas, yeah, if you need to prove a point, you need more.
But yes, I agree.
I always remember like making fun of my dad because he would never say the words, I don't
know.
He would have something to contribute.
I'm a bit like, I'm getting like that because we're just across so much stuff.
Yeah.
There you go. Anyway. There you go. Well, we didn't really get feedback from, yeah, yeah. Because we're just across so much stuff. Yeah. There you go.
Anyway.
There you go.
Well, we didn't really get feedback from the team, but that's fine.
No.
We'll just move forward.
I gave you a positive.
Yeah.
I really don't have a negative.
Actually, no, here's one for you.
Sometimes you forget to export stuff and then have to come back to the studio.
That would be annoying.
That would be annoying.
Because I'm looking for it at my desk.
I'm like, where is it?
He hasn't done it.
I've got to make all the way back here.
That's a minor thing, but it's a thing.
I know.
I get that.
There you go. One and one thing. I know, I get that. There you go.
One and one thing.
My counter is...
Watching you park.
Yeah, it's fucking annoying.
I've started.
It was meant to be work related.
Keep going.
We're off.
Pandora's box is open.
Hey, man, I can't even argue with that one.
You know that one.
Does my car beep?
Can you hear the beeping?
Does that what annoys you?
It doesn't matter.
I'm not listening.
No, just watching you.
Yeah, just seeing you do it.
Because I know I can do it quicker.
Because he's also waiting for the lift.
He's like, oh, I want to get out here.
I've waited for you and the lift starts beeping at me
and it gets to the point where the door's actually going.
I just close and it just closes.
It goes, no, you're chopping your hand off here.
Okay.
I'll practice that.
Sorry.
Lucky that's what it was.
Jess and Ducko in the morning.
Welcome to Thursday, gang.
Hello.
Colleagues, friends. Good morning in the morning. Welcome to Thursday, gang. Hello. Colleagues, friends.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Comrades.
Comrades.
We're in this thing together.
Yeah.
How are we all feeling today?
The energy feels better in here automatically.
So good.
You know, we're not as sleep deprived.
Yeah.
Let's check in with Sweet Babs.
Yeah.
No soccer training last night.
Did you get to bed early?
Yeah, I went to sleep early.
Oh, nice. She's resting. Do you have some magnesium or some Epsom salts? No, but soccer training last night. Did you get to bed early? Yeah, I went to sleep early. Oh, nice.
Did you have some magnesium or some Epsom salts?
No, but I read a book and drank some tea.
Oh, there you go.
Well, there we go.
Carpe diem, Babs.
To each their own.
Yeah.
And that's what Babs needed to rock into Thursday.
Recharge.
Yeah.
How are you?
I'm good.
I'm feeling good.
Excellent to hear.
Feeling, yeah, feeling pretty rested.
I love that.
Yeah.
No real news on my front, I don't think. feeling good. Excellent to hear. Yeah, feeling pretty rested. I love that. Yeah, no real news on my front, I don't think.
Very good.
I had a relatively late night, but I am high on the energy of the book club.
It was my turn to host, but I was like, you know what, ladies?
I don't think I've hosted.
We each take turns.
Whenever it was my turn last, the baby must have been much more flexible
because I obviously had the girls over for dinner
and didn't care about Lucia's sleep routine.
Yeah.
Whereas thinking about having the girls over well into the evening on a school night.
No, no, no.
Even any night, I went, she goes to bed at 6.30, ladies.
I can't have you in my living room.
That makes much noise.
We've only got a small house.
Exactly.
Yeah.
We're going to have to take this out on the road.
So we went out for a nice meal.
The Vino's were flowing.
We got tiramisu to finish.
It was a hell of an evening.
So I'm charged up on my good juju vibes of getting some good girl time.
Did you get less integrity with the book done though?
Do you know what's funny?
I was worried about that because people were spending a bit of time
on the menu and then ordering and then enjoying their meal.
We're going to get this, this, this, this, this, this.
No, no.
Everyone got their own meals.
We didn't do share.
We had shared starters but no, everyone looked after themselves.
How quickly after someone had their first bite did you ask them how it was?
Do you know what? I was really
enjoying mine, and it's funny. If I'm enjoying
mine to such a degree, it can go
either way. You have to be on my level
of enjoyment, or I don't care.
Because then I just get
in the zone of my plate. You're just zoning in.
But you know when you get to that level of friendship
with people where there's one pizza pizza left, because obviously the way of my plate. You're just zoning in. But, you know, when you get to that level of friendship with people where there's one piece of pizza left, because obviously the way
it just divided.
Yeah, yeah.
There's seven in the book club, eight pieces of pizza.
I don't even ask.
I just go in for the last one.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
You know, with newish friends or colleagues, you might go,
does anyone want the last piece?
Yeah.
Who's going to have that last dumpling?
But by the time you ask, it's gone cold.
Whereas with this group, I'm like, not even asking.
That's mine. The pelican even asking. That's mine.
The pelican comes in.
That's right.
I'll go straight in.
Right.
Okay.
So, no, it's wonderful.
I'm charged up.
You're charged up.
On some good juices with some girl time.
Some creative book juices.
Absolutely.
Bitching about your man and telling a story.
But sorry, to answer your question, the book was highly enjoyed.
Oh, that's good.
There you go.
So it was good to chat about.
Do you meet every fortnight? No, once a month. Oh, once a month. Once a month. It was good to chat about. Do you meet every fortnight?
No, once a month.
Oh, once a month.
Once a month.
Because that's a lot of pressure to get a book done.
Absolutely.
And that's why we had to give it a month because, you know,
there's a couple of mums in the group.
People work full time.
It's too hard.
Yeah, once a month seems good.
Yes, yes.
That's what me and Shy Guy meet for our book club, isn't it, Shy Guy?
I love that.
Yeah.
What destination are you heading to next?
Do you catch up?
Blokes and books.
Oh, Shy Guy's house.
It's always at Shy Guy's house.
It's always.
Oh, just a bowl of pistachios?
Oh, yeah.
Pistachios.
Have you had the pleasure of having a burger made by Shy Guy?
No, he keeps talking about it, but we just can't take away his said.
He just keeps putting the bowl of pistachios.
Shy Guy, when you move into his new house, I'm going to have you guys over probably soon,
really soon.
That was maybe a year ago.
Yep.
A year and a half ago.
Yep.
Yep.
I've had you guys over for dinner.
Well, your baby shower got moved, but that was going to be at your home.
Yeah, it was going to be at her house, yeah.
Babs, you know, she's got housemates to wrangle with.
She has one.
We'd love to come over for a meal.
Yeah, we will one day.
I don't know when.
No, I don't think it's going to happen.
Oh, we're doing the Adam Sandler Happy Gilmore 2.
Oh, viewing party.
Yeah, we'll do that.
We're going to have Happy Gilmore viewing party at your house.
Yes, Happy Gilmore 2.
Yeah, I wonder how we'll go watching a movie together for a couple of hours.
Let's put a bet on who picks up their phone
first.
Who starts quoting it first.
Well, that's not a hard bet.
Yeah, pick up their phone first when watching a movie.
I reckon it'd be Shy Guy. Do we do a drinking
game? Not that I
obviously have seen the movie, but if we know
things about Adam Sandler, maybe Adam Sandler tropes
every time he... There's a lot of cameos in the movie.
There's heaps.
Every time you notice a cameo.
There's heaps of pro golfers in the movie.
I know that much.
Like actual golfers.
I won't know when they come on, so you'll have to say he is a famous person.
Maybe I'll make you leave your phones at the door.
Oh, phones in a bag.
And it makes us sign an NDA.
Phones and clothes, am I right?
What are we going into, Shy Guy?
It's like a Bieber after party.
We all have to sign NDAs and hand over our phones.
Oh, yeah, you crazy boy.
We'll see.
I think Bieber has bowls of pistachios at his after parties as well.
He does, absolutely.
That's what the bowls are.
That's what the candy is.
He's the writer.
Babs, would you come to that if we have a movie night, Shy Guys?
If I was allowed to keep my phone and my clothes, yes.
You can keep your clothes.
No one said you had to take your clothes off.
I did, but that was a joke.
Great clarifying, Babs.
It was a joke.
You can keep your clothes, but phone, you might have to give up to Shy Guy.
Oh, that's a bit weird.
I might have to keep it.
I don't need your passcode.
It's just so we can be in the moment together as a group,
not distracted by these devices that rule our lives.
It's so true. Let's just have these devices that rule our lives. So true.
Let's just have conversations, guys.
Come on.
Come on.
That sounds boring.
You're watching a movie.
You don't got to talk.
Yeah, no, she's a minimum two-devisor.
Yeah, she is.
TV and phone.
I feel like Babs.
I would have thought Babs, you'd watch movies and not be on your device.
Yeah, I'm just joking.
Like me with the clothes thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You joke stuff.
You're all tricksters. We get that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You joke stuff. You're all tricksters.
We get that.
Shaga is actually naked.
Oh, okay.
Just with a strategically placed bowl of pistachios.
And bananas.
And bananas.
Anyway, it'd be fun.
Yep.
Well, you guys, you're going well today though.
Yeah, good.
Yeah, fine.
Yeah, great.
It just doesn't.
You seem chilly to me.
You've rolled in a wintery joke.
No, no, because I wore a jumper yesterday
And I was really glad I did
It's because it's cold in the studio
It's cold in the studio
I do have it set to Arctic
Which I like
I would rather be cold
But I just think
I have not seen my penis
Since I've started the show
It's gone
It is that cold in here
You don't need the strategically placed
Bowl of pistachios
No
You've got an idiot
It knows we're going to the studio
And it just sucks in
I'm pretty sure I had rain over the air conditioner when I was pregnant
because pregnant lady wants it.
You get it.
And now a year and a half later, it's just set.
I would have it cold.
You would.
Yeah, I run that way.
A couple of people, very cold.
It's all good.
I'll just freeze.
I'm trying a new deodorant, Ducko.
I look forward to your feedback at the end of the week maybe.
You've not flagged my stench.
No, I'll come and sell you.
Angus was like, we've got to do something.
Oh, it's getting bad.
It's getting bad.
He goes, no more excuse about your eczema.
One, go book in for that kinesiologist.
Thank you, Angus.
Doing God's work.
But he said, just go try an aerosol.
I'm anti-aerosol.
And he's like, stop.
No more excuses.
Okay.
So I had to go buy an aerosol.
Oh, I'm so excited.
But I think it seems to be okay. Okay. Well, I haven't smelled it. So I had to go buy an aerosol. Oh, I'm so excited. But I think it seems to be okay.
Okay.
Well, I haven't smelled it.
Okay, good.
Big show, though.
Adam Elliott, the great man doing a sports rap after 6.30.
We've got Alpha Bucks.
We've got my gift baby registry.
You're listening out for it.
Today is a Crystal Brook Kingsley Hotel baby moon stayover.
Unbelievable prize.
Listen out for the crying baby any time.
Up next, though.
One of the most annoying things I reckon you could be on a plane
and the plane turns around for.
Oh, turning around.
Turning around and going back when you're halfway there.
Oh, God.
Oh, I want to unpack this journey.
Jess and Ducko.
Jess and Ducko.
You rarely come over onto this side of the desk.
I do.
It's weird to go over there.
It felt weird to have you here.
And then Charlie and I were both sniffing you.
A pit each.
It was a sniff party.
And for the woman who is very concerned about smells on people, Babs has yet to come in
to sniff, but so far.
She won't.
Come have a woof, Babs.
So far.
She just won't.
Babs, come and sniff her.
I don't actually know what I bought.
It's okay.
I'll pass.
The good news is I couldn't smell anything.
That's so good.
So there's no odor, but there was no, I didn't smell or deodorant.
It's early.
Yeah. By nine o'clock when you're sweating up. Let's do an hourly So there was no odor, but there was no, I didn't smell a deodorant. It's early. Yeah.
By nine o'clock when you're sweating up.
Let's do an hourly update.
Okay, we'll do an hourly sniff test.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because that might be an interesting access.
At what point do I tip over?
Oh, then we know.
Oh, it's 7.45.
Bring it in with you.
Reapply.
Yeah.
Reapplication would be good.
Reapplication.
I want to be a better team member.
I like this.
I like what you're doing.
Yeah.
We're doing team quizzes today and being team members.
I think maybe that's what's inspired me.
We're finally starting to work together, guys.
This dysfunctional family of ours is finally starting to...
As we're months away from our contracts being up.
Let's all hang out this weekend.
What are you guys up to?
Let's do it at Shark Eyes House.
Babs, you in?
I think I'm busy.
Busy again, hey?
You know what I've got on Sunday, actually, that goes for six hours.
Talk to me.
Oh, golf comp?
No, no, I wish.
What goes for six hours?
A baby course.
What do you mean?
No, maybe it's not six.
What time does it say?
Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, five.
And when you, still very long.
When you say baby course, do you mean a birthing class?
Or a let's learn how to deal with a newborn?
It's a bit of that, but it's also for health.
So it's like CPR.
First aid as well.
First aid, after you had your experience.
Good on you.
Yeah, we're doing that.
Good on you.
Yeah, Morgan, I do that.
Gosh, not to get grim, Ducco.
No, jeez.
Be ready to support Morgan.
I know she and I are not on the same wavelength when it comes to emotionalness.
Being emotional. Emotion., being emotional, emotion.
And she's in the medical space.
So this might be an unnecessary warning. She'll need to support me.
Yeah, okay.
Maybe I should text Morgan.
You and I are on the same.
I left and I was maybe eight months pregnant.
So less further along than Morgan.
It rattled me hard.
Oh, seeing the babies.
Seeing all the things that can freaking go wrong.
I know, I know.
Because I'm not too worried right now.
I'm not too nervous.
But I feel like seeing that and seeing what can.
And it was just, you need to be a quid, but it was just having back to back to back.
All right.
So we've covered seizures.
Let's cover choking.
All right.
We've covered choking.
Let's cover drowning.
All right. We've covered drowning. Let's cover drowning. All right, we've covered drowning.
Let's cover being burned by scalding hot tea.
It was just a lot.
Yeah.
So it's going to be a big day for you.
That's a big Sunday.
It's a big Sunday.
Don't need to drink Saturday night because you don't want to be hungover going into that thing.
No, you want to be clear-minded.
Absolutely.
And take your deodorant.
You will need a reapplication.
You know, my real issue with it, though, is like Morgan and I like to, we both like to
know better than the other one.
We're both leaders.
Like we both want to, you know.
Yes.
And doing a course with Morgan, I don't think it's something I've ever done.
So like studious and learning and having to ask questions.
And then having to demonstrate probably.
And then demonstrate.
But you're doing it wrong.
Like last night she got angry at me for grading the Parmesan.
Question about grading Parmesan.
Oh, you've come to the expert, baby.
Actually, I'm glad.
I'm sorry you didn't FaceTime me in the moment.
I wanted to touch on this.
Let's go.
The grater, well, we have one of those square graders.
You've got the box grater.
The box grater, yep.
You grate downwards, yeah?
100%.
Okay, thank God.
Because if you grate straight on the cheese, like the cheese is going straight up and down,
it's actually going to either break the cheese, and that's not how the grate is intended.
You need to use the angle of the grater to grate down, which then makes the cheese have
a bit of an angle on the lip.
100%.
Do you know what I'm saying?
I see what you're saying.
Even if you note, maybe not all box graters are created equally, the actual lip of each
individual serrated edge is on an angle.
So you need to work with that.
Or one, yeah, you'll snap your...
Do you have like a block of parmesan? So I was doing it for this pasta. I love that you're buying work with that. Right. Or one, yeah, you'll snap your... Do you have like a block
of parmesan? So I was doing it for this pasta.
I love how you buy blocks. That's beautiful. That's the way
the Italian ancestors intended.
I was doing it, and then Morgan was like, can you
just stop? You're going to ruin my parmesan
because it was on an angle, like the actual cheese.
I love the phrase, ruin my parmesan. I know.
I was like, are you joking, Morgan? It's a grater.
It's designed for an angle. And she got so...
And I had to straighten it out for her.
What did she want?
The block to remain straight.
She wasn't worried about actually grated parmesan,
which is what you should be more concerned about.
She wanted the block of cheese to remain straight at all times.
How bizarre.
It was strange, right?
I think that's incorrect.
Oh, good.
Thank you.
So she was getting so angry at me.
And I was like, no, Morgan, it's grated cheese.
And as the authority on cheese, self-appointed, she's incorrect.
Yes.
I want you to keep this in mind next time I come to you with a problem with Angus.
No, I will.
Thank you.
I'm excited when credit's due, though.
No, but yes, in this course, where you're going to have to demonstrate back blows on
the dummies.
She might be doing it wrong, because she's a nurse as well.
You know what you throw in her face?
Don't make me bring up the box grater, sweetheart. Everyone, here's a grater. Let's like, you're doing it wrong because she's a nurse as well. You know what you throw in her face? Don't make me bring up the box grader, sweetheart.
Everyone, here's a grader.
Let's see how this works.
Once you've all de-choked your kids, how about we go around the room and show how we're great?
I'm hesitant to tell you where this conversation happened because you already have a little
bit of judgment about this group of people I see once a month and the topics
of conversations covered.
So don't focus too much on that.
But something that took the attention for a little while last time I was with some friends
was about ceiling fans.
And I wanted to bring you a theory that one of the ladies brought to the table.
Because I use a ceiling fan every night.
Okay.
Now, your home, it's not a new build, but it's also not really old.
So I'd be curious about the technology you're running with in your home.
My house, very old.
The fan's very old.
They only go in one direction.
Yes.
Can you change the direction your fans spin?
Yeah, winter and summer.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
One of the girls has a relatively new build.
I've never heard this before.
I feel like we've discussed this on the show before.
Are you joking?
My apologies.
I do not remember.
Winter and summer, you flick it over and it goes the other way.
I'd never do it in winter, though.
Have you heard this, shy guy?
Basically, it means the direction of the wind, the fan is forcing the air down instead of up.
Yes, sucking it up.
Lauren brought this to the table.
She has a relatively new home, but we were talking about cleaners or something,
and she went, oh, God, I gave my cleaner a mammoth task unintentionally.
I accidentally hit the fans in reverse.
Yes. And all the dust and stuff that had accumulated. I accidentally hit the ferns in reverse.
And all the dust and stuff that had accumulated.
I was going off.
It almost like it had been used to going, let's say, clockwise.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But when she hit it counterclockwise, it jiggled it all off.
That's interesting. And it flew off.
And I went, what do you mean you hit it in reverse?
She goes, you know, for wintertime.
And tried to explain about the hot air being sucked up and dispersed.
Yeah. I mean, it's a fascinating concept. I remember finding
this out and my mind was just as blown. I was like, what? And you go and check your fan and you look up
and you see the little switch and you can flick it. Pardon me, is it on the fan?
It's on the fan. It's not on your switch. No, not on the remote. Mine is anyway. So you go onto the top
of the fan, you've got to get up.
Oh, you have to get a chair on my bed and stand up.
Don't act like you also have to get a boost.
And then get a piggyback.
And then you flick it.
And then you can change.
And that's how it changes direction.
So she was saying, you know, oh, I've accidentally.
Well, she said she accidentally did it.
So she must have.
Well, hers is a newer build.
It's a newer build. So maybe it is on the remote.
It makes more sense to have it on the remote. But then one of the other girls was like, no, no, no,
it's not for winter, summer. What are you talking about airflow? We got into like the physics
of hot air and cold air. She said it is exactly for that, for
cleaning. So you can agitate your fans enough and not have
to get up there to clean the blades. That's funny. And everyone just had this
different, and I'm sitting there quietly going, I didn't
know fans could do all these things.
My thing, did you go check your fan last night?
I didn't because I got home late.
Angus was already in bed.
Yours probably wouldn't.
I don't.
Oh, it might.
It might.
They've been around for a while.
That is amazing physics.
Yeah, you pull up the cap on top of the fan.
Sometimes the switch isn't exposed.
It's under the motor.
Oh, okay.
I've got to go hunt for it.
Angus will probably know if it does or if it doesn't, but I don't use it.
He's definitely more of the fan guy.
He likes to sleep with it on at night.
I'm just an air con girl.
Yeah, me too.
I'm hot air con on.
I don't know about fan nonsense.
I don't use a winter fan.
I've never put a fan on in winter.
I just feel like-
Expecting the hot air to be blown around better.
Yeah, I don't, yeah.
Do you clean your fan?
Oh, man, not enough.
Have you looked at the top of those blades?
They're so bad.
There's so much dust on there.
I had a, I told you the other day, a record 12 sneezes in a row.
And I reckon there's so much dust and gunk and all that crap around my house.
Maybe because we have the fan on every night and it's just blowing.
You know what's incredible is that the dust stays on the fan, though.
And it doesn't fly off.
It just stays there. Yes. And it doesn't fly off. It just stays there.
Yes.
It all builds up and stays.
I think I've done one swipe once and it grossed me out so much I'm now like,
out of sight, out of mind.
Yeah.
I'm going to ignore that.
You've got to get those things.
They have the fan cleaners.
I bought it once on Lunchtime Television.
Yes.
And it goes through the blades and you can clean those.
My grandma had those.
It's like a sleeve for each.
That feels like a good.
That's a good way to do it.
It's wasteful.
You could just get up there and clean it properly.
But why do that when you get a fan cleaner?
Why do that when you get a fan cleaner?
Well, birthday's coming up, guys.
Oh, please.
Come on.
That and a pair of slides.
I remember my mind being blown by the fan.
The first time you find that out about a fan.
You'll appreciate why I brought it to you today.
Did you, Babs, did you know about that?
I did, yeah.
My, I've been living under a fricking rock.
Well, under an air con.
Under an air con. Yeah, yeah. True, true. Let's all use our winter living under a freaking rock. Well, under an air con. Under an air con.
Yeah, yeah.
True, true.
Let's all use our winter fans when winter comes in.
See if it works.
Yes, yes.
I don't have a ceiling fan.
You don't have air con either, do you?
No.
Oh, must suck.
I can tell you what, you can come over to ours for a bit.
That's right.
Cool.
Sit under the dusty fan.
Hey, let's play Outbox, though.
You can afford a few of those with Outbox at $10,000.
$13,000, $10,000, $60,000. Maybe you can donate some money to Babs so she can buy a fan. Oh, let's play Outbox, though. You can afford a few of those with Outbox at $10,000. $13,000, $10,000, $60,000.
Maybe you can donate some money to Babs so she can buy it.
Oh, that'd be nice.
When I put this on the board, Duggo, Shy Guy goes to me,
what sort of fans?
Pedestal fans?
Dua Lipa fans?
Ceiling fans?
I thought you meant like the hand fans, the Jess and Duggo hand fans.
I'm a big fan of the hand fans.
That's another fan.
So many fans.
Jess and Dugo in the morning.
Jess and Ducko's 10K Alphamarts on here.
Top of the books.
Yeah.
30 seconds to answer.
10 questions all starting with the same letter.
Have to take your first answer.
You can't use the same answer twice.
If you're unsure of the question, just say pass.
We come back, of course, if there is time.
We're playing for $10,000 and we go to the one and only.
We go to Aaron.
Aaron, how are you, mate?
Yeah, good, mate.
How are you?
Oh, Addy.
Addy.
Oh, is that more Adam?
What's your nickname, Aaron?
Aaron.
Very good.
Just the A-man.
It's the A-train.
Just Aaron, thanks.
Good morning to you, Aaron.
What would you like to spend $10,000 on today?
Probably just go on a holiday.
I love that for you.
Simple.
Where's Aaron's duck off to?
What's on your bucket list?
Probably go to Greece.
I love that.
Do you have any Greek heritage?
No way.
I'm just an Aussie, mate.
You're just an Aussie.
Give me some mythos, baby.
I just want a euros
and some saganaki. A two euro euros
and a mythos, baby. And maybe take
a donkey up to the top of a hill
or something. Oh, yeah. That's a bit of fun.
Just because. Just because.
You know, it's an experience. Alright, Aaron,
this is a great omen. One
thing stands between you and a trip to Greece.
Your letter's A.
Oh, that's great.
A for Aaron.
That's good, Aaron.
A for Athens.
This is great.
We do have a study here, Aaron.
68% of our contestants get it correct when the letter starts with their name.
So, jeez.
That's good odds.
This is.
Here we go.
Are you ready, Aaron?
As ready as I'll ever be.
Good attitude.
Your time will start after the first question.
Starting with the letter A.
We need you to name a cartoon character.
Pass.
A technology brand.
Apple.
A household item.
Pass.
A verb.
Pass.
Something you put on your body.
Apricot oil.
An animal.
Ant.
A boy's name.
Adam.
A dessert.
Apple pie.
A rugby league player.
Adam Reynolds.
A musical instrument.
Air guitar.
A cartoon character.
Pass.
Hey, man.
We started slow, and I'm telling you what, we zoned in.
Mate, Mike dialed in.
He dialed in.
He turned up the temp.
You cannot play air guitar.
It's not an instrument. That's what's creating the survival.
Have you seen air guitar shows?
I haven't.
People go there and they wail out the air guitar.
Aaron, do you think we should pay air guitar?
Well, mate may as well.
We're getting 10 grand.
It really won't matter.
You're not going to win anyway.
We'll take what we can get.
Can I also just drill down on a boy's name?
He didn't say Aaron.
He said Adam.
You never know when he'll need Aaron again, though.
He wants to keep it up his sleeve.
That's very true.
And if he hadn't said Adam, would Adam Reynolds have come to mind?
Who knows? Who knows?
Who knows?
Hell of a player.
Cartoon character.
It could have been Aladdin or Arthur.
A technology brand you got.
A household item.
Could have been an alarm or an air fryer.
A verb's hard with A.
It's doing words.
Applaud or act.
Could have been one.
Apart from that, everything else you answered, you got correct.
I mean, a musical instrument.
Could have been the acoustic guitar, but I enjoyed air guitar.
Aaron, how often are you applying apricot oil to your body?
Can't give away all my secrets.
Yeah, that's right.
You know?
Who are you to tell Aaron he's not?
Do you reckon there's such thing as apricot oil?
I absolutely do.
Oh, there is?
I reckon you could oil anything, and the beauty market, 100%.
You could oil Adam.
That would exist.
I can't wait to feel Adam's smooth, smooth arms.
Oh, he's got such smooth skin. He's just lathered in apricot oil Adam. That would exist. I can't wait to feel Adam's smooth, smooth arms. He's got such smooth skin.
He's just lathered in apricot oil and smells delicious.
Old smooth Aaron, they call him.
You know what he'd smell like?
Sweet and sour sauce.
You would.
Because that's apricot.
You would smell like McDonald's.
Anyway, Aaron, we've had fun, mate.
Thanks for playing.
It was good to chat.
Thanks, guys.
See you later.
You're fantastic, Aaron.
Did you give him his pimple patches?
Oh, jeez, I didn't even do that.
Aaron, you get $100 suspended skin control. Oh, awesome. That's all yours his pimple patches? Oh, jeez, I didn't even do that. Aaron, you've got $100 suspended skin control.
Oh, awesome.
Better than apricot oil?
It is probably slightly better than apricot oil, yeah.
You're not going to believe who's coming in next.
Adam Elliott.
Adam Elliott.
There you go.
How's that synergy, Aaron?
Thanks, guys.
Jess and Daco.
Boom, boom, boom.
Everybody say Adam Elliott. Thanks, H2O. The great man joins us in studio.
Good morning to you.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Wonderful to see you.
Thank you for being here.
How are you going today?
Yeah, good.
Good.
Got some training done yesterday.
Big day of training.
We got flogged, so it was, I think, well deserved. You got flogged in the training, you mean? Yeah. Obviously, after getting flogged so it was I think well deserved
you got flogged
in the training
you mean
yeah
obviously after
getting flogged
it was good
to get some work
done
now we've got
the weekend free
go away
reset
recharge
and come back
and hopefully
we're into the
Bulldogs
our next game
next week
so that's a
really good
chance for us
as well
yeah because they're going pretty well they're going really well they've been going good for a while now too so they had a good season Bulldogs our next game next week. So that's a really good challenge for us as well.
Yeah, because they're going pretty well too.
They're going really well, yeah.
They've been going good for a while now too.
So they had a good season last year.
And, yeah, I think we found a few things in that game that we've been able to put our finger on that we want to improve.
So I think that's good for us too.
We sort of know where we've got to get better
and got the work done yesterday, go away, refresh,
and then got some work to do again next week, lead into it.
I love that attitude.
That's the motivational quote.
Nice thing is failure, only learnings.
Yep, that's what we do.
We learn.
Now, being someone who's a bit of an older head in the team,
do you see the young guys ride the highs and lows a bit more in the losses?
And you're like, guys, guys, come on.
Yeah, I do.
I do a little bit.
Not so much in the weekend.
I think everyone sort of took it for what it was.
It was a disappointing loss.
But, yeah, over the last sort of took it for what it was. It was a disappointing loss but yeah, over
the last sort of two
to three seasons I've
definitely become more
of a senior player in
the squads and you
notice the young kids
they get so down on
themselves obviously
especially if they have
a game that's not
quite where they want
it to be.
You've just got to
have a breath like
there's another game
next week, you'll be
in the team again.
What do you always
say, Ducko?
The sun will rise
tomorrow. That's what I always say, Alan. Thanks, mate. You can You'll be in the team again. What do you always say, Ducco? The sun will rise tomorrow.
That's what I always say.
That's a good saying, Ducco.
Thanks, mate.
You can take that and tell the team.
It still hasn't risen.
Not when it does come up.
Hell of a day.
It's getting later and later.
It is.
Yeah, yeah.
It's very dark.
It is dark, isn't it?
It makes you feel more tired.
We can do weird things when it's dark.
It's been kooky already this morning.
It has been a bit kooky.
Now, speaking of kooky things in the NRL,
I'll be saying it quickly before we get to other sports stuff.
Daily Cherry Evans.
Yeah.
Do you have a relationship with him?
He was at Millie's cousin's wedding.
So they play together, Millie's cousins at Manly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lachlan Croker, he's the hooker.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was probably the first time I've ever really had a proper chat to him.
I've come across him plenty of times at different things,
but I wouldn't say we're mates.
But to explain this to Jess, so he's basically
He's a captain?
He's been at Manly forever.
He's probably had 15 seasons.
He's pretty 34?
Or maybe even older?
No, he's 36.
He said he's leaving the club.
They offered him two years and he said no, it's this huge
hullabaloo, half-back's hard to find.
No one knows where he's going though. Does he want to retire? No, that's the club. And they offered him two years. And he said, no, it's this huge hullabaloo. Halfback's hard to find. No one knows where he's going though.
Does he want to retire?
Well, that's the thing.
I don't know.
What do you think, Adam?
No, no, no.
He's definitely.
I don't think that's even a question.
No, he wants to stay.
He's definitely playing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So is it a power thing?
Probably.
It'll come across as a power thing.
But I don't think it is.
I think it's more of a respect thing.
I think.
So when a player.
As in I'm not getting the respect here.
So I am going to go.
Someone will.
Yeah, but it's not right now.
From what I understand, it's all played out months before.
So in the NRL, there's like a grace period of 12 months.
So if a player's signed with your club for 12 months,
they can't speak to anyone else.
Fair enough.
Within that 12-month period, though, of them coming off contract,
you can decide to...
Sorry, before that 12-month period comes,
the club can decide to extend you or give you a deal.
So you know what your future holds?
Yes, because otherwise in two months' time,
when you're within that 12-month period before your next contract comes up,
other clubs can start nibbling.
Yeah, can start nibbling.
Yeah, yeah.
So from my understanding, Daly Cherry Evans sort of went to the club
and said, are you going to offer me something?
They said, no, not until someone else does.
Wow.
And I think he took that as a little bit of disrespect.
Okay, stuff you.
Yeah, so, but, you know,
there's obviously a lot of things that have gone on,
but that's from what I've seen, that's sort of the gist of it.
Interesting.
So he's going to end up in another club.
Do you think he'll get snapped up?
Yes, absolutely.
Yeah, he's a superstar.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He still plays Origin.
There's not many halfbacks out there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Interesting.
Do you have any, not that you know,
but do you have any ideas where you think he'd go?
Oh, I've been sort of thinking about it.
A couple of the Queensland clubs.
Obviously the team we just played in the weekend have some good young halves already, the Twintons.
But I know he's from Queensland, plays for Queensland,
so I've got a feeling it'll be someone up there and this will probably be his last deal.
And that'll help him sort of sail off into the sunset.
Yeah, see you later.
Up in sunny Queensland.
My favourite thing is seeing the Manly fans all being like,
we're burning the jerseys.
How dare they?
They just turn.
They just turn, mate.
100%.
Fair weather friends.
There's a fine line between passion and outrage.
Now, what else have you got for us today, sport-wise?
Yeah, the first story of the day comes from the F1.
So Liam Lawson, a New Zealander, had a pretty sad start to his F1 career.
So he was in China on the weekend and got a horrible result,
and they've decided he's going to drop back down to the B Leagues,
and they've put...
Yuki.
Yuki's in.
Yeah, Yuki Tsunoda.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. In for the Japanese Grand Prix, which. Yuki's in. Yuki Tsunoda.
In for the Japanese Grand Prix which is Yuki's backyard as well.
Oh, that's interesting. To pair with
big Max Verstappen. Is it like
one bad one, he was like, you're gone.
I think when you're young and you first get pulled up
I think it's very cutthroat.
Have you seen Drive to Survive?
There's Max Lawson, he's
there giving the finger to Yuki Tsunoda.
And he's also saying like, I don't feel any envy.
Like this is my sport.
He's had his time and now he's been dropped and Yuki's replaced him.
It's crazy.
It's a cruel game, isn't it?
I mean, there's only two spots to actually play in the big leagues.
Yeah, yeah.
And the owners of those companies, obviously, they're in the F1.
They're just multi, multi-billion dollar companies.
Yes.
It's crazy.
There's a lot of power there.
Yeah, it's wild.
And then the second story is about an amateur, I'd say, amateur athlete, at-home athlete.
Here we go.
Yeah, a man from Idaho.
Guinness World Record.
Yes.
I was a big fan of Guinness World Records when I was younger.
Oh, okay.
You had the book?
Your grandma gave you the book?
Yeah.
I can see you trying to break some.
Yeah, I tried to break a few.
Yeah, yeah.
Probably broke more bones.
I broke the world record for around the back passes.
So you've got to go around your back, hit a wall in front of you, catch it, go again.
With a basketball?
With a basketball.
Okay.
Basketball, around the back passes.
That feels doable.
Pretty impressive.
What was the period of time to the Guinness World Record?
So he broke the record.
He actually threw 38 behind the back passes. That feels doable. In what period of time did he give us the record? He actually threw 38 behind the back passes in 30 seconds.
That's less than one a second.
Yeah, it's crazy.
That's so fast.
See, it doesn't feel that impressive when you think about it,
but actually doing it, it would be very impressive.
And the previous record was 25.
Oh, damn.
He smashed it.
He's blown it.
Yeah.
Is this an NBA player?
I don't think so.
Is this just some dude from Idaho? He's a bloke from Idaho it out of the park. Is this an NBA player? I don't think so. Is this just some dude from Idaho?
She's a bloke from Idaho that loves behind the backers.
This is another kid who grew up.
Very nice.
This is another kid who grew up reading the books going,
I've tried the most undies put on in a minute,
growing the longest fingernails.
I'm going to try the basketball one now.
The shoulders thing.
My shoulders grew.
I'd be out too.
Do you have any
Guinness records
you think you
could break?
Like there's
the most hugs
in a minute,
you know,
put the most
clothes on,
whatever.
I used to think
like I can eat
a lot of food.
Yes,
actually.
I could probably
break one for that.
Competitive eating.
Yeah,
but jeez,
I've seen some
of them shows
on Netflix
and that.
Yeah.
Bad for you?
Oh,
I just think
yeah,
I'd be more
likely to have
a heart attack.
Shy Guy,
we're going to
need the 2025 edition of the Guinness World Records.
Shy Guy's had it.
He's got it on his bedside table.
Our mission for 2025.
Yes, let's get Adam Elliott in for breaking a record.
We don't injure you, obviously.
No, no, no, we'll find the way.
There's hugs.
Stop throwing your fingernails out there.
We'll make it happen.
We'll make it happen.
There's definitely hugs you can do in a minute, like record-breaking hugs.
I reckon we could do that.
We could just go on a hug circle.
That's nice.
And who smells nicer than Adam?
No one.
No one.
All right, we've all got to smell good at home.
Jess, you hear that?
I'm trying new deodorant.
I'll work on it.
Hey, mate, thanks for coming in.
Always tough after a loss, but chin up, we go again.
No, thanks, guys.
Appreciate it.
See you next time.
Hey, we've been borrowing lots of things for the upcoming child that is being born in our household.
Borrowing things from you, from various people.
You know, the great thing about having a child is they age out of things quickly.
Absolutely.
And then it just sits dormant.
Exactly.
So it's like, get it out of my house.
So I think one of Morgan's, I'll say colleagues, work friends, whatever you want to say it,
was like, you can borrow, have a baby monitor and form a car seat or whatever.
Fantastic.
Gosh, that's a pretty penny saved.
Yeah, because we've got one car seat.
Very expensive.
Yep.
And then, you know, because you've got to get all the add-ons.
It's so hard with just one.
I understand.
You're right.
It's expensive.
But my God, with you and Morgan's schedules.
I know.
To organise then the car logistics.
I've got about 45 cars at home, so, you know, chuck them all in.
I don't.
Let alone the tractor seats and the mower.
Oh, yeah.
The right-on mower.
Then she comes into the house.
Now, this is the first time she's ever been to our house.
She's come to drop it off.
Come to drop it off.
And Morgan thought she was going to go outside and pick it up,
but she wanted to come in.
I was inside, like, just pottering.
I think I was doing the dishes, actually.
And she comes in.
You know what our house is like.
Were you just quickly like, oh, there's a...
I'm going to pretend to be doing the dishes.
I took my shirt off and started doing the dishes.
Just panicked.
I think I was actually cleaning something up.
I can't remember.
But she comes in and she's like, hey, hey.
Sort of I got introduced to her.
Oh, you're not mad.
No.
Thanks so much for the gift.
Yada, yada.
And the first thing she says, she looks around and she looks around
and she goes, okay.
Looks down the hallway and goes, oh, so this is the house, huh?
And she goes, I love that it's all in close, in the one spot.
All right.
Sorry, I don't live in a mansion.
I was like, hang on a minute.
What?
And I was like, it's not a studio apartment.
I know, I know.
I was kind of like, uh, yeah.
And then Morgan's like, yeah.
And then she left. What did she mean by that? Well, she left. And Morgan comes in and I was like, like, uh, yeah. And then Morgan's like, yeah. And then she left.
What did she mean by that?
Well, she left.
And then Morgan comes in.
I was like, what did she mean?
I don't want her freaking baby mother now.
She's got bad juju attached.
I was like, did she mean like the house is small?
I guess that's what she meant.
Yeah.
It was like a weird way to say, I love that it's all in the one spot.
Maybe there's not two levels.
No, it feels like a neg though.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Didn't your mama ever tell you, if you've got nothing nice to say?
Don't say it all.
Don't say it all.
It was just such a weird thing to say.
You come into our house, you give us something and you go, I love it.
It's all in the one spot.
After having looked around and peered almost looking for more house?
Yeah, yeah.
It was a bit like that.
It was a bit like that.
You've been to our house, like the living room, kitchen, all sort of open plan.
It has a hallway down to bedrooms, whatever.
It's obviously not huge.
Up until this point, there has been two people living there and a dog.
Like, what else do you need?
And we are running out of space already without the unborn child.
That's fair, but also.
It was just hilarious.
Like, she, I think, has a few kids.
So they've obviously got a bit of space.
And they may have lived, you know, closer to town or whatever
and then thought we need more land.
And what does that mean?
Well, then you go out further and you get a bigger block
and you do what you need to do.
It really sat with me for days.
Jesus.
I didn't put it down to tell it on air.
I was like, nah, I've got to.
I've got to tell the team.
Because, like, if someone comes to your house and says that.
I love that it's all in the one spot.
Just.
And I really thought about it.
Like, I was looking around.
I was like, is it all?
Oh, you can call to Morgan if she's in the bedroom
and you're in the living room?
Hmm.
That's nice for you.
The other half lives.
Jess and Daco.
These words are my own.
Word up.
You took the word right out of my mouth.
Word-yokey.
Quiz Master Babs is in studio.
She's going to give us a word.
Any little word.
And we have to sing a song that has that word as part of its lyrics.
As Shy Guy wraps up an email.
Yeah, as he shows on, mate.
Yeah.
I know what's happening.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's rip and tear.
Let's do it, baby.
Yeah.
All right.
The first word is story.
Story of my life.
I gave you hope.
Spend all night. That was beautiful. Thank you. I gave you hope to spend all night.
That was beautiful.
I was hoping it would tell a love story, but did she say story? It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
Nice from one day.
That was good.
Did you see Zayn was doing some sort of tribute for 10 years?
He was.
Was he?
He played a wonder at me, son.
Someone needs money.
He's run out.
All right.
Next word is cheers.
Cheers to the freaking weekend.
Drink some beer.
Come on.
Nice.
Desperate for some music.
Jess and Shaga on the board, duck or not.
Come on, duck man.
This is where we rise, baby.
All right.
Next word is princess.
Princess.
I'll be the prince and you'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story.
Nice work.
Damn it.
Point to Jess.
Thank you for the little earworm.
All I could think of was Princess Peach in Mario Kart.
Let's go.
That's all I could think in my head.
If only she had a jingle.
All right.
Next word is luck.
Good luck.
Good luck.
Good luck in the new year.
All right.
Am I out?
This is looking bad.
Do I need to get this?
You need to get this.
Otherwise, you're gone.
It's shy guy.
Jess is leading quite significantly.
That coffee has slapped me this morning.
Well done.
All right.
Next word is suddenly.
Suddenly I see. Suddenly I see.
Suddenly I see.
This is what I want to be.
You both sang it at the same time.
Do you want to go draw?
I want to go draw for that one.
Okay.
I was ready to give it to Jess, but okay, let's go.
All right, I'm trying to help you here.
No, no, I like what you're doing.
I appreciate you.
Okay, next word is mean.
Sorry, mean. Mean. Mean. With appreciate you. Okay, next word is mean. Sorry, mean.
Mean.
Mean.
With an N.
Mean.
What do you mean?
When you know I just said, hey, Jess, but you want to say no.
Have a good one.
I think Jess is kind of absolutely just stomped all over this.
You can't, but if you want to.
This next one's worth two.
Yeah, okay.
Do you want to?
Yeah, sure.
I think I'd still win.
Yeah, you've got to wait about this try. It needs to be worth three, right? Yeah. This next one's worth four. Jess has just come in hard today? Yeah, sure. I think I'd still win. Yeah, you've got to win, but I'm just trying.
It needs to be worth three, right?
Yeah.
This next one's worth four.
Jess has come in hard today.
Here we go.
I have.
This next one's worth four.
Off donuts last week.
Yeah.
That's true.
It's funny how this game goes.
It's scream.
That's tough.
Is it?
Um.
Scream.
Scream.
I can't even think of any.
I'm not.
Nah.
I've got nothing.
Oh, guys.
You know how to scream and shout?
You know that song?
Oh, Britney.
Scream and shout.
Yeah.
Now it ends really flat.
No, go one more.
One more.
Okay, I've got one more word.
Okay, this one's worth five.
I cannot lose from four to one.
And I'm back in the game.
Okay, yeah, Ducco's come back.
She's making it up.
All right.
Final, final word is meet.
Oh.
Meet me at the Arpita Patek.
Arpita Patek.
I won the game.
No.
That's what it's for.
Is that the lyric?
Meet me at it actually.
Oh, that's funny.
That's funny. That's funny.
All right.
Well done, Jess Stuhl.
Absolutely.
Jess and Ducko.
Jess and Ducko.
Customise your dream family home with award-winning Baxco homes.
Ducko's Baby Registry.
Yes, you've been listening for this all week,
and it continues for the rest of this week and into next week as well,
all thanks to the one and only, the legends, Baxco Homes.
Customise your dream family home with award-winning Baxco Homes.
Couldn't do it without them.
We sat down with the team at Baxco Homes
and went through Ducko's Baby Registry and went,
the guys put a PlayStation on here, a Ninja Creamy, $1,000 at Bunnings.
He's got this all wrong.
We're taking it all off him.
Yeah.
Today's, I think it's fair to say,
you and Morgan could have definitely enjoyed.
Yeah, I think so.
But we took one, we took it all.
Yeah.
It's a baby moon at one of our favourite places in the world,
Crystal Brook Kingsley Hotel,
your five-star escape in the heart of Newy.
That's what we're giving away today.
So someone else can enjoy your baby moon.
Have a night away on me.
And that person who called in very quickly was Mel.
Congratulations, Mel.
Thanks, guys.
How are you?
We're so good.
Now, Mel, we've positioned this as a baby moon,
but I can see here you've got two children already.
So this, I think, is just a little mummy escape.
Oh, well, look, it is a mummy escape.
I know you've got a little beautiful princess.
Have you ever just looked her in your eyes and started twitching?
I started twitching.
I feel what you're putting down, Mel.
I feel...
You're at that point?
You're at that point?
Yeah, okay.
You need to get away.
Mel needs...
Yeah, the little crutch demons on Honestly.
Mel needs some Mel time.
Mel needs some Mel time.
And there's no more beautiful place to do it than the Crystal Brook.
Oh, well, Mel, you get to enjoy that.
Wear a bathrobe, have a bath.
Oh, room service, Mel.
Oh, then pop up to the restaurant, the Roundhouse.
Bloody stunning.
Perfect.
Thank you so much, guys.
You're very welcome.
Before we let you go, Mel, have you got any words of wisdom
for the duck man as his little princess is only weeks away?
Yeah, look, laugh it up while they can't crawl, mate.
Because after that, it's pretty much downhill.
Okay.
Mel sounds fun.
Mel really needs a reset.
Mel needs to go to Christopher, but I will lap that up.
Thanks, Mel.
Thanks, Vaxca Holmes as well.
And tomorrow's item on the list.
I mean, I did put this on thinking it would be great for me.
Okay, see, this one proves our point.
Yeah, it's an Apple Pack.
I'm talking Apple Watch and AirPods, baby.
You already have an Apple Watch and a...
I need an update.
...dupe?
Whoop.
A whoop.
Whoop.
Yeah, yeah.
You don't need...
I would like some new AirPods, though.
We are not...
That's fantastic.
...off your list.
Apple Pack, AirPods, Apple Watch.
You can track your fitness.
You listen...
Sleep?
Yeah.
Did you sleep?
Oh, yeah.
You listen out for that crying baby tomorrow.
Any time from 6am. Yep. Oh, yeah. You listen out for that crying baby tomorrow. Anytime from 6am, it could play.
Jess and Ducco.
Yes, we love supporting when locals are doing really cool things.
Particularly, can I add, the youth.
Oh, the youth.
You're scared of the youth.
We are scared of the youth.
But when you just see someone, you know, not jaded by experience or life,
and they go, I'm going to put my own money where my mouth is, Someone, you know, not jaded by experience or life.
And they go, I'm going to put my own money where my mouth is and I'm going to create something to put it out into the world.
Something longer than just a 45-second TikTok.
Yes.
I'm going to do a whole damn feature film.
Which is tough to do and expensive, like Cameron Utick has done.
This is his debut film.
He's a local filmmaker.
He wrote this project, produced it and directed it at just 21 years old.
What were you doing at 21, Ducco?
Trying to be in films, but I certainly wasn't writing or directing them.
It's tough to do.
Absolutely.
The film is called Cooked.
It's about young guys sort of growing up here in Newcastle.
Here's a bit of the trailer.
Tonight is going to be the loosest night in our bloody lives.
How was it, eh?
It wasn't too bad.
What do you boys reckon?
Who fucking cares?
We've got n***as, baby.
One for Keith.
My boys.
Yeah, me too.
Here's to that last big night.
Cheers, boys.
Cheers, boys.
Cheers, boys.
And the director of the film, Cook, joins us now.
Cameron, good morning and congratulations.
Thank you so much, guys.
I really appreciate you guys having me on to chat about the film.
How does it feel to have your baby very soon out in the world?
Incredibly exciting and incredibly nervous.
Yeah, I bet.
When you have a newborn baby, you don't know how people are going to perceive them.
They might be ugly.
They might be cute.
You don't know.
You don't know what's going to happen.
You don't know what they're going to say to your face or behind your back.
How old are you now, Cameron?
Because you were 21 when you wrote and directed all this.
Where are we at now?
How many years past?
I just turned 26.
Okay.
So it's been a while since.
Do you look back at it still and go, ah, we've done that differently?
Or are you just so happy with everything you've done?
A mix of both.
It's definitely, in hindsight, you look back at what you've made
and you look at all of the things you did wrong,
but overall it's just an incredible thing to have completed
and put out into the world.
So I love this, Cameron.
It follows Ethan and his best mates commemorating their final night out
after finishing their last HSC exam.
And, you know, inevitably when a group of boys get together
on the town, nothing goes to plan.
How much were you drawing from your own life when you wrapped up HSC?
I'd say every single thing that happens in the film is based on a real experience that
either myself or my group of friends went through.
But obviously because it's a film, everything's a little bit embellished.
It's hot in there.
Yeah, big GST.
Yeah, we get it.
Did you tell your mates though, or have your mates seen it and gone,
hang on a minute, that guy doing that is me?
They, I gave them the script before I started shooting and they gave it the AOK
and they have seen a test screening and they went, oh, okay, that's interesting.
When you gave it to your friends, was it genuinely that they could veto
or were you just giving them the heads up?
Like if one of your boys had said, bro, you cannot put that in,
would you have removed it from the script or is it the art above all else?
Yeah, I would 100% have vetoed.
It wouldn't have been fair to take somebody else's story
if they weren't approving of it.
Oh, ethical.
I know, what a guy.
We love that.
And where did you find the actors for this, obviously,
because it's so Newcastle.
You can just tell, obviously, the locations, where you're shooting it,
the group of guys, the style, the fashion.
Are they all local actors as well?
So I'd say half of the actors are all local.
One of the seven lead actors is from Newy and I knew him personally,
and then everybody else is from all across Australia.
What a way to get people together. Did you find that there was a lot of excitement around
this young new voice in this space? People really clamouring to get involved being like
Cam's going to be the next big thing and I want to be attached to his first project.
Yeah there was a heaps of excitement. I mean the community in newcastle was so tight-knit and
word of mouth spreads like wildfire so it wasn't hard to find people to get involved
did you get like your family and friends in the scenes you needed extras at the parties and whatnot
100 all of the extras are close friends and people i know and even a few times as little cameos
of people having a few lines who are really close to me. And you used local bands in the soundtrack?
100%.
Oh, that's great.
Midway and Fungus, two incredible local Nui bands.
We obviously needed to have some local authentic sound
and that's where we got it from.
100%.
Can we also drill down on Cameron, self-funded,
through personal investment and then obviously
a bit of crowdfunding, asking your community to back you in.
Was that nerve wracking for you, asking people to put their money where your mouth was essentially
and then having to produce something that they thought was worthy of their investment?
Yeah, 100%.
I mean, when you're working with other people's money, that is always scary, especially when
they have no idea
what you're going to produce and they're just putting
complete blind faith in you.
But I feel like they'll be pleased with the result.
Did anyone try and put a caveat on their donation?
Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll give you $500,
but I want to walk on roll.
I want to be the bouncer or something like that.
Yeah, a couple of my mates were like,
we're giving you money. you better not scam us,
this is what I want.
Don't scam us, you dog.
Giving you like a quote to write in,
like say this somewhere in the film.
Pretty much.
It's exciting.
It comes out this Thursday,
sorry, the premiere this Thursday, 27th of March
and Friday, 29th at Event Cinemas Katara.
Have you packed out the cinema?
Do we have tickets left to that?
How's it all looking?
The premiere on the Thursday night is unfortunately sold out.
However, there are lots of tickets going for Friday the 28th of March.
If anyone is interested and keen to come and have a look at Newcastle
on the big screen, there are plenty of tickets going.
Check it out, thefilmcooked.com.
Congratulations, Cameron.
I feel like this is the start of something very big.
Yeah, what's next for you, Cameron?
Do you have anything in the works now?
Because obviously you're 26 a few years later.
What are we up to?
Lots of ideas running around, a few scripts in the works,
and then moving to London midway through the year to keep the dream going.
Nice.
Good on you.
Well done, mate.
It's always tough to do, and it's self-funded. It's pretty cool. So make sure you check it out. Get those tickets, as Jess said.
Same with Facebook and Instagram, thefilmcook.com. The link to the tickets
is in the bio. Legend. Amazing. Congratulations again.
Thank you guys so much. I can't say how much we all appreciate you guys spreading the word
and having me on. Jess and Daco. What happened with the delivery driver?
Maybe you've had an interaction recently.
Maybe you caught him on camera.
A couple of CCTV videos are going viral just this week, Ducco,
with delivery drivers, I'm going to say, behaving badly.
After some hijinks, hey?
I'll tell you one a little further from home.
This one's out of Missouri in the United States of America.
Oh, yeah.
This homeowner has the Ring doorbell camera.
They scare me, man, because then you can actually see what's going on.
Yeah, my parents have one of these, and my mum loves to talk to people
when she's not at home.
Of course she would.
Even if she's home.
She wants to make it look like she is home, so she loves her Ring doorbell.
When my parents come to visit, I swear to you, Daco, every few seconds,
not like I live in a busy street, but every few seconds,
there's this chime notification that goes off on both my parents' phones
because they've got it set to loud and emotion detected
around their front door.
But it captures the footpath.
It captures cars driving past.
So they're just constantly, oh, someone's near the house.
Oh, someone's near the house.
Oh, someone's near the house.
But they've got one of these things.
But it records, obviously.
You can talk through it.
This homeowner has captured the moment that a delivery man was dropping a parcel at his front door.
He was just having a look to see when it was delivered.
Looking back at the footage, it captured this man putting the parcel down and then picking up his cat.
And he thought, oh, that's a nice interaction.
This delivery driver just giving my puss a little pat before he heads on his day.
Unfortunately, the ring camera captures this delivery driver licking the cat.
What?
Multiple times.
Licking the cat's fur?
On the head.
Like a mama cat grooming a kitten.
You don't want someone else licking your own.
You know what I mean?
You do.
I can lick my own cat, but you can't.
You can't.
And I don't want it caught on camera.
Also, that would be disgusting on your tongue.
Oh, it would feel.
The textures would be.
That's how you get a furball.
He's going to be hacking that up for days.
The homeowner obviously put it on TikTok, saying,
initially I thought it was odd and creepy,
then I found the humour in it.
Really?
It doesn't appear anything's actually happened with that delivery driver,
even though he fully showed his face and everything.
I mean, I just don't think I'd like someone else licking the puss.
I couldn't agree more.
It would just be weird.
That's yours.
That's yours.
And you're there to do a job.
You know what I mean?
Don't touch the cash.
A little closer to home, though, with not as happy an ending.
An Uber Eats driver caught in Sydney delivering obviously
a bag of food. He goes
into the lift. It's obviously an apartment that he has to
go make his delivery.
When the CCTV captures him
unzipping his pants.
No. And taking a leak in
the elevator. What?
So he puts the bag of food down,
unzips his pants. He must have been busting.
He'd been driving around all night.
Let's give him some benefit of the doubt.
Who doesn't know in the elevator?
Who doesn't know there are cameras?
And also you can see them in there.
And also what if it stops on a level you weren't expecting?
That's a great point.
That's so true.
It's like farting in a lift and then, oh God, the doors are open.
People have come in.
Can we give him some bonus points for not weeing on the food?
Keep the food safe.
That's very kind.
Here you go.
Here's your food.
And I don't know.
It probably would have gone viral as well if someone made a video about it,
if a delivery driver asked to come in and take a leak.
It's like, I don't know you.
I appreciate you're a human being, but you cannot come inside my home.
Just go outside.
Go outside.
Just wait.
Were you just busting in that moment trying to deliver my Nando's?
Surely not.
Surely you don't think, I'll make it up the lift and back.
But you can fully see a wet patch on the CCTV.
This is crystal clear, obviously OLED footage.
Man, Uber Eats drivers always scare me.
Uber Eats has...
Do you know when they get five meals and they drop it off in order and yours comes stone cold
and they don't know which one they're taking out of the car?
Pay that extra three bucks for priority.
But even then...
Uber Eats has come out and said we've deactivated his account.
This man can no longer work for Uber Eats.
How do they find him?
Well, I guess the person on the CCTV submitted it and then they can link up with the order.
He's a shy guy.
Shy guy's never driving again.
You can't deliver dumplings.
You're also peeing in lifts, mate.
Unless he just has a thing where he does the lift pee challenge.
He wants to see which lift is best to win.
Oh, that's not bad.
Unfortunately, this carpet, very obvious.
He put weed on it.
Okay.
So a couple of stories about delivery drivers behaving badly.
See, my delivery driver's possibly the nicest person on the planet.
Is this like your regular Auspost person?
Yeah.
He's so chatty.
He's very nice.
He knows Pam.
I was about to say, how's it go with the dog?
Well, he knows if Pam's not going up and barking,
then Pam's inside and that we're usually out.
So he'll come in and leave the parcels in a nice area.
If Pam does come and bark, he just lets Pam suss him out.
He knows.
He'll call out to us.
That's fantastic.
I see him when I go for runs in the area.
He waves and stuff.
He knows our names, obviously.
Yeah, yeah.
He's a really nice guy.
Well, say yours isn't a bad story at all.
That's actually quite lovely.
He's a really good person.
I'm annoyed at my driver.
We've got the regular dude as well, and he's gotten into the habit.
Obviously, he has a lot of, you need to sign for this.
Yes.
So he'll walk down our driveway screaming, parcel!
And no one comes.
Well, he's just, if I'm home, I'll come.
But more often than not, the baby, the dog, like, bro.
I see.
Come on.
It's 11.
Can you not scream parcel?
Would you rather him knock on the door?
I'd rather, I know you've got to sign, but yes. You'd rather him not come at door? I'd rather... I know you've got a sign, but...
You'd rather him knock on the door?
I'd rather you just dump it and walk away.
Then you've got to go to the post office, which is the most depressing place on the planet.
No, no, 100%.
Dump the actual parcel.
And there's always...
Why is there always a queue at the post office?
I have no idea.
Is it because everyone else is going to collect their post?
It doesn't matter what time you go.
Yep, never matters.
There is a queue.
There's always an old lady in there buying some form of knick-knack.
And God forbid someone's in there trying to get a passport freaking photo.
Yeah, but I don't love the shouting of parcel.
I don't love it.
Okay.
13, 10, 60.
What happened with the delivery driver?
Good, the bad, the ugly.
Good, the bad, the ugly, and the licking.
We'll get you on next.
We're talking delivery drivers.
That's right.
We've got specifically two delivery drivers. That's right.
Specifically two delivery drivers who have gone viral this week behaving badly.
One out of the United States who was caught on the ring doorbell camera delivering the parcel and then licking the cat.
It's one thing you don't want to do.
Don't lick that cat.
It's one thing to pat my dog.
It's another thing to lick my cat.
Also, yeah, it's just odd.
You know how there is a bit of a cliche about the dog protecting the home
and barking at the postie?
Maybe this guy's gone, I hate dogs, love cats.
Oh, yeah.
And I'm going to show that love.
Not biting me or barking at me.
By licking it.
I'm going to give you a little lick back.
And a bit closer to home in Sydney, an Uber Eats driver has been,
well, I don't know if he's stood down, but the account has been deactivated.
He won't be delivering dumplings anytime soon because CCTV caught him allegedly, I never
understand allegedly, he's on camera, in an apartment building holding the bag of Uber
Eats, peeing in the corner of the lift.
Sucking a whizcaliefer in the lift.
How can you be doing that?
You can't be doing that.
So we want to know what happened with your delivery driver.
Taylor, good morning.
Good morning, guys.
What's happened with the delivery driver in your area?
I thought I would treat myself to a Fandango rocking gliding chair
for my second baby.
Hell, yeah.
Cost an absolute fortune.
And I proceeded to watch on my ring doorbell the delivery driver drop the rocking chair from the back of the truck, like a one-tonne of truck.
So drop it from the back of the truck.
Yes.
And then drag it up my driveway to my front door.
So not in a box or anything?
He's literally dragging the actual chair, potentially damaging it?
No, no.
It was in a box.
Oh, okay. He's literally dragging the actual chair, potentially damaging it. No, no, it was in a box. It was brand new, in a big box, dropped the box off the back
and then dragged it up to the front door.
Yeah.
I mean, did any of it break?
It sure did.
He was a pea-plater.
So his company got that footage.
You can see that on the camera.
His company got that footage.
He's a man not taking his craft seriously enough, you know?
Oh, come on, mate.
Come on.
Come on.
Be better.
Be better.
I'm going to need to be using that chair a lot.
When you see the minivan truck or the truck rolling with pea plates,
you're like, I'm doomed.
I'm doomed.
Pray for my chair.
Kelsey, good morning.
Hey, guys.
How are we?
Bloody excellent.
What happened with the delivery driver?
So my little story, I used to get a meal company to deliver meals.
And so I'd come home from the pub on a Friday night,
and there was a car out the front of my house.
I'm like, oh, this is weird.
Anyway, so it was a person dropping off my food, you know, said hello.
I was nice and all.
Didn't think anything of it.
And then I've got a friend request on Facebook,
and it was the delivery person.
Okay.
And we ended up meeting up and, yeah, did the deed.
Yeah.
There you go.
So she had seen you and gone, I assume she Had seen you
Yeah
And gone
I like the look of that customer
And I know his name
Because I'm giving him stuff
So I'll look him up
And I know his address
And I know where he lives
Yeah exactly right
Did you end up like
Staying together
For a bit of dating
Or was it just a one-off
We did go for
Like we
Went out for a few meals
And
Yeah I just It wasn yeah, I just.
It wasn't it.
I just found out.
Yeah, it wasn't it.
It was just a really funny situation.
Yeah, that is a funny situation.
I love that you went out for meals.
She knows you're getting food delivered.
She's like, cook for me, Kelsey.
Cook for me.
Also, what a flattery, though, being Kelsey.
Like, didn't have to work for it at all.
I know.
It's like someone leaving a note on your windshield being like, I saw you.
I saw you.
Kelsey, right on. There you go. All right. We'll like someone leaving a note on your windshield being like, I saw you. I saw you. Yeah.
Kelsey, right on.
All right.
We'll finish off here with Greg on 131060.
Greg, this is interesting.
It says you used to deliver bodies.
Well, I used to be a radio operator for a courier company in Sydney,
one of the larger companies.
And we used to pick up John Doe's from the airport and take me out to the uni at North Ride.
Like cadavers.
Yeah, America sells cadavers.
And we used to pick them up.
The quickest way to get out there is going out a road that's got a transit
lane on it.
One of the guys used to put the body in this passenger seat so you could use
a transit lane.
Shut up.
You could do the T2 lane so you didn't get done.
Hang on. A real dead body. Well, he'd just prop up. You could do the T2 lane so he didn't get done. Hang on.
A real dead body.
Well, he'd just prop up the dead body in the passenger seat,
buckle them in, and it'd look like they were having a snooze.
Yeah, of course.
They'd come in a chiro-pack.
So we'd have to unpack them?
No.
You put it like this.
They're pretty stiff.
Yeah, but they are.
Aren't they nude, Greg?
There's not clothes on them.
No, no, no, no, no.
They're sort of wrapped.
Sort of like a mummy, but not a mummy.
Oh, understood, understood.
I'm like Greg's colleagues having to have like a spare T-shirt
and shorts in the boot.
It's a weekend at Bernie's.
Just dress him up.
Yeah, he used to put a hat on his head so it looked, you know,
a little bit more.
Greg, did he ever get pulled over or get pulled out?
I don't know if he did or didn't.
He's great.
I was just in the office telling him where to go.
But he used to get on the radio and say this to people and say, you know.
He probably thought he was so smart.
What did he call him?
Me and John Doe coming down the highway?
What did he say on the radio, Greg?
He used to just go, yeah, I picked up Mickey and we're gone.
Oh, my gosh.
That is all parts sick and twisted but hilarious.
Hilarious?
I know it is.
It is.
If you're the wrong type of nationality, you can't do it.
But if you know what I mean,
because some nationalities don't like to handle dead people.
Well, of course. I see what you're saying. Don't touch the body. Well, I mean, because some nationalities don't like to handle dead dogs. Well, of course.
I see what you're saying.
Don't touch the body.
Well, I mean, what culture is it okay with?
If I found out that, say, my brother had passed away, Greg, and you guys were using him in
the T2 lane, you can't say you'd...
I mean, you get into his destination quicker, right?
That's true.
A sideline for this, we had to go, one of the guys had to go down to Wagga to pick up
a dead dog, and he more or less did the same thing.
He put the dog in the front seat?
Yeah, because he couldn't fit him in the back because he had a full load.
Man.
John Doe was taking up space in the boot, so he put Rover in the front seat.
He has the My Family stickers on the car too.
He's got everyone.
They've all just got crosses in the eyes.
Oh, yeah, let's go.
30 seconds.
10 questions.
We'll start 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, just say pass.
We come back, of course, if there is time.
We are playing for $10,000, but everybody knows that, including you, Bunty.
Good morning. Good morning. How are you going? Mate, knows that, including you, Bunty. Good morning.
Good morning.
How are you going?
Mate, we couldn't be better.
Bunty, what are you doing right now?
I'm sitting in the preschool bus.
Did you just tell the kids?
Come on, Bunty.
That sounded wrong.
What do you do?
No, I haven't picked any up yet.
Okay.
I'm on my way to picking the two little fellas up.
I love this.
So Bunty's gone, I'm going to win myself 10 grand,
then I'll get to the kids.
They can start their day.
That's fantastic.
You're the preschool bus driver.
Yeah, that's it.
I'm Bunty the bus driver.
Bunty the bus driver.
The wheels on Bunty's bus go round and round.
Toot, toot, toot.
All aboard the Bunty bus.
Amen.
Do your wipers go swish, swish, swish?
Yes, they do when I play really funky music when I'm not listening to you guys.
Oh, I love that.
Okay.
That's cool.
Oh, well, Bunty, what do you want to do with $10,000, babe?
Well, I live off the grid and I'm really missing my television.
So I've got a Starlink, but I haven't got enough solar capacity to run it.
Okay.
You want to just upgrade the solar?
You want a connection to the world.
Come back to the grid a little bit, Bunty.
Yeah, a little bit back to the grid, yeah.
How do you find the Starlink?
Oh, I got it when I had a deal on.
But do you enjoy it?
Is it good?
Yeah, well, I haven't used it yet.
Oh, she needs more juice.
I see, I see, I see.
Sorry, Whitney. Sorry, with you.
So how do you have a mobile phone?
Is that not being on the grid or is that separate?
Oh, no, that's where I watch my television.
Yeah, it's all on the phone.
It's a whole thing.
All right, well, let's get Bunty 10 grand.
Yep.
The letter you're going to work with today.
Bunty.
Yeah, what's she got?
It's the letter E.
Oh, dear.
E for excellent.
E for elephant.
There you go.
E for elephant. Let's chuck out some E words. That's someone in the preschool world. She knows. Yeah, she E for excellent. E for elephant. There you go. E for elephant.
Let's chuck out some E words.
That's someone in the preschool world.
She knows.
Yeah, she gets it.
E is for elephant.
Yep.
You ready to rock, Bunty?
Good luck.
Good luck to you.
Your time will start after the first question.
Starting with the letter E, we need you to name a three-letter word.
E.
A country.
Ecuador.
A verb. Verb. Pass. A country. A verb.
A boy's name.
A tea flavour.
An actor.
An online store.
A type of tree.
A breakfast food.
Enchilada?
Something you read.
Something what read?
You read.
Read.
Oh.
Wow.
She was on a roll.
I thought we were going to get that.
Emails.
Emails. Yeah, that would have got you nine because you already had eight.
A verb.
Can you come back and think of a verb now? Because that's the only one you then would have got you nine because you already had eight. A verb. Can you come back and think of a verb now?
Because that's the only one you then would have missed.
Well, that's really good for a preschool teacher.
Technically, verb is hard with E.
Eat, technically.
Escape.
You used eat for your three-letter word.
Yeah, yeah.
That could have been your verb.
But you don't think of eat as a verb.
I know why.
You just don't think of it as doing. Yeah. You know? could have been your verb. But you don't think of eat as a verb. Like, I know why. Like, you just don't think of it as doing. You know?
Second nature. Second nature. Oh, well, Bunty,
you were elite. That was really good.
Damn! Damn!
I'll have to keep watching the telly on my phone.
Yes! No TVs today.
But you do get, how's this? This'll be great. $100
to spend at Skin Control. That's yours.
Skin Control. It's been fun. I'm not saying
you have bad skin. I'm just saying you always make it better, you know?
Did you have an enchilada for breakfast this morning, Bunty?
Yeah, yeah.
I was going to come around to that.
I mean, who's to say?
In Mexico, they have breakfast.
Hell yeah, they do.
I'm not questioning Bunty.
Don't you dare question Bunty.
Don't question the bun.
Hey, Bunty, it's been fun to get to know you.
Good luck picking up the kids today.
Okay, thank you very much.
Lucia is just shy of 18 months, and we know everything I've read.
Developmentally, there's a lot going on for this little queen.
She's getting it.
But what we're dealing with at the moment.
How's her jumping going?
Has she left the ground yet?
Oh, I swear to God, she got it yesterday.
It was a huge jump.
Big moment.
She's just got kneecaps, and now she got air yesterday. It was a huge up. Huge moment. Big moment. She's just got kneecaps and now she's getting jumps.
And my issue is I've got a phone in this chick's face 23 hours of the day
to capture everything.
The one minute I don't have it filming, she gets air.
Damn it.
Because I get really conscious Angus is missing out on this stuff.
I spend so much more time tangibly with her because obviously the hour
was unprivileged to work and he has to work.
He misses all this stuff and I missed getting the – I didn't even tell him
because I went –
Oh, it's too hard.
So he's hearing this.
Okay, good luck.
Well, Angus, you jumped.
She got in, man.
She got in.
It was the best moment ever.
So sweet because, you know, I took the trampoline away from her
to bring to you guys.
So she's not had to practice on anything bouncy.
Okay.
She's just had her and the ground.
But what we've been dealing with the past couple of weeks,
which came to a head the other night, is parental preference.
Now, it stands to reason if you spend more time with mummy,
mummy's going to be the one you go to more.
Totally.
I totally get it makes sense.
But I am lucky enough to be in a relationship with a man who understands the mental and physical load and that he needs to lift to help me keep my sanity.
So he'll come home from a huge physical day, laborious day, whatever he's been doing, and he snaps into dad mode.
He has never once gone, I just need a minute.
Let me sit.
No, he's all hands on deck.
The issue is she doesn't want him.
So he comes home.
Excited to see her, wants to make his day.
And she does react beautifully when he does come home, but then it's immediately, I'm
back to mummy. I want mummy. I want these. I have to do bath. I have to do bed. I have
to do this.
Will she just crack it if he does it?
Yes, there's actually been, and it breaks. He's hard.
You can imagine.
Because obviously he loves her so much and she's stone cold.
I think in your household, though, this is better it's this way around than the other.
Can you imagine?
Oh, my God.
Could you guys imagine? And you know what's funny?
Could you imagine if Lucia cracked it when Jess tried to barf her?
Because you know what's funny, Jaco?
Yeah.
In a month's time, it might flip. Oh. In a month's time, it might flip.
Oh.
In five years' time, it might flip.
This kid will go through phases, let alone when she's 15, 16.
She's not going to want a bar of me if Karma's going to come around
and bite me in the ass like I treated my mum in teenage years.
Yeah, yeah.
But it came to a crux the other night.
It had been a day and Angus was picking up.
I needed.
Some time. I needed a minute day and Angus was picking up. I needed.
Some time.
I needed a minute and I needed him to take over.
Mummy's taking this bottle of Pinot outside and she's not coming in until it's all gone.
We had done the bath.
We'd done dinner.
We'd done the bath.
I even did the bottle. And usually Angus will do that last stage before bedtime.
He knows the song we sing.
He knows it all.
He knows it all.
He does it just as well as I do.
But she's on my lap and he went, all right,
time for bed. And he's gone to take her out of my arms.
She has flung around in panic. I don't want to leave mummy.
Her giant bonce has collected my nose. And if you've experienced trauma to the nose, you know
it does not handle a punch well.
And I've got this rock hard toddler head just collecting.
It felt immediately like blood nose territory.
It just, it was immediate pain.
You know, the eyes start welling up.
But all she wanted was me and she's clinging to my neck.
And I'm like trying to pinch the bridge of my nose to stop any blood flowing.
Angus is trying to rip her off me.
I'm going, don't worry about it.
Just leave her.
So I have to walk into her room, clutching nose, holding her, sing the freaking rainbow
song.
And Angus is outside going, what can I do?
Can I help?
But at bedtime, you don't want a tantrum because it's not exactly the calming, soothing moment.
So it's just you suck it up and you get it done.
That's tough.
It's tough.
And it is just on so many levels.
Heartbreaking for him.
Distressing for her.
Tough for me.
But you're right.
In a year's time.
It could flip.
It could flip.
So I best enjoy it while I am.
And you should also use this to show off in front of people.
Like, you know, you can always do it.
Remember we played that game Yumi and Angus played,
the who's she going to go to first?
And she went to Angus first.
And that was heartbreaking for me.
Yeah.
So now start using it in public.
Bit of an alpha move.
Bit of an alpha move.
Look how much my daughter loves me.
Who's your favorite?
Mommy?
Stop it.
Jess and Ducko.
Jess and Ducko. your favorite mommy stop it jess and daco jess and daco this morning before the show i came in and i was just like you know flowing with ideas obviously as i always am guys you're such a
creative boy i had a quiz that my sister sent me last night the creative types quiz now for those
that have been in maybe big corporatey spaces she was she did this for a work thing her company made
them do it and you see what type of creative person you are.
There's one for everyone, no matter how creative you think you are
or how creative you are.
I reckon I did one of these in high school, like an equivalent one.
It's almost like what type of thinker you are,
what type of learner you are.
Exactly.
And putting yourself in a category can help you specify things.
And it defines you and it also says who you work well with,
what other creative types you work well with.
So my whole family was doing it last night.
I was like, this would be great to bring to the team.
Yeah.
I sent it to you guys this morning and we've all done the creative quiz.
And I think it's funny what we've all gotten in the room.
Yeah.
Because even as we were dissecting,
it's a multiple choice sort of answer to different scenarios.
Even though we were going through specifically what we answered
and they were sometimes different.
Yes.
Some of us have landed in the same pool.
Well, what's funny is both Jess and I are the same.
Yep.
And both Shy Guy, you and Babs are the same.
Yeah.
Which is just so funny.
So Jess, you and me got what's called, one's called the visionary, which is essentially
you have visions to fuel consistent daily actions, big ideas.
You see potential and possibility in everything.
To criticize us, it sounded like all ideas, little action.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It sounds like we're dreamers.
We want to do this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We talk a lot.
We're dreamers.
And what did you two get?
Thinkers.
Yeah, the thinker.
Give us your best.
I'm thinking.
I'm thinking.
That's Babs and Shy Guy to a T.
What is the thinker? What is the thinker?
What is the thinker's little synopsis?
I didn't bring my phone in, to be honest, to have a look with Shy Guy.
I closed it.
Well, such thinkers.
Not too much thinking.
Such thinkers we have on board.
The headline was, deep thoughts, big questions.
You're curious about the world.
So it was almost like they're the ones that go, oh, that's a big idea,
but how are we actually going to execute?
What are the actual nitty gritty?
The funny thing is, for us, Jess, as visionaries,
it says the ideal collaborator for us is the thinkers.
Well, how good in our support team,
the people who prop us up every single morning are thinkers.
We all did this test at separate times,
answered different things for some of these, and it gave us these.
But for you guys, your ideal collaborator is not us.
Well, not you guys.
It's not you guys.
We basically just chuck things out there,
and then you guys try and make it happen.
And hope you execute.
And narrow it down.
Yeah, yeah.
Because my wife just did it at home, and she sent me a message.
She got one that is ideally collaborating with me.
Okay.
Because it does sound like they are almost one-way streets of little people.
She got the maker who basically just needs to streamline and do things,
who works with the visionaries.
See, there you go.
Again, you're the big ideas and she makes it happen.
Just my ideas, people.
Just Chuck, let's chuck ideas together.
I'd like to see what he is.
It sounds, well, I mean, from a sample study of five, very accurate.
Yeah, it's pretty spot on.
Anyway, so now that you know that shy guy and Babs,
let's go forth and work together.
Yeah.
Well, our crazy ideas. I feel like we're really gelled so now that you know that shy guy and Babs, let's go forth and work together. Yeah. All our crazy ideas.
I feel like we're really gelled together now that we've done this test.
Well, I did it as a bit of a bonding exercise,
but I feel like Babs didn't take it too seriously.
No, she didn't even remember.
Some of the questions were a lot for six o'clock in the morning.
Yeah, you're a ruler girl or a scribble girl?
Like, do I like to be in a cocoon or a beehive?
What was it, Babs?
Come on.
Beehive.
When you grow older, you'll learn about the cocoon.
Yeah.
The beehive.
The metamorphosis.
That will happen.
Jess and Ducco.
Morgan's Playlist.
Yes.
Never has her name been mentioned so much.
Yeah.
The push playlist for my wife.
We are two weeks and a couple of days now until Breach Day.
Absolutely.
Independence Day.
Oh, yeah.
Judgment Day.
There it goes. Takeoff Day. Yeah. No, that Oh, yeah. Judgment Day. There it goes.
Takeoff Day.
Yeah, I was going to think that.
No, that was good.
Couldn't think of any more.
Are there any more?
No, I think we're good.
You've got one.
048881069.
The text line has been popping off the past 48 to 72 hours, Ducko,
where you first said to your community, us and the Rice Cookers, of course,
we need to add songs to Morgan's Push playlist,
the soundtrack that will bring your daughter into this world.
Craziness.
You added the caveat that if your song is the one playing
and you cross-reference that laminated sheet you'll have in the delivery suite,
if that is the song playing...
Are you guys going to make me one of those?
I can make that one.
Oh, Babs, that feels like Babs' go-jacks.
You know how to laminate.
We all laminate, don't we?
Yeah, I like laminating.
Yeah, I thought you would.
There you go.
So we're compiling this list.
If your song is playing when this girl enters the world, you win a Jizz Bit.
It's pretty good.
And a French Magnet.
And naming rights.
Yes.
Asterix on that.
Morgan has an approved.
You could be a godparent.
We batted up some songs.
There were some question marks from
unnamed members of the team.
Morgan, not thrilled. But what we
want to do now is add some
more to the playlist. As I said, we've been
in Undated. 13, 10, 60 as well.
We'll get you on, we'll get your songs
on next. But should we go through some that have already come
through in the text line? These ones that were feeling good for
you, Ducko. Jared came in early
with a very appropriate push.
Max Box 20.
From the Barbie movie.
It works. And I can bring my guitar
and I can play this in the birthing suite.
I love that. Can you hear Babs on the bass?
Oh, Babs, you're playing bass
at Morgan's birth. Do you know who's in the country
every 12 months or so? Rob Thomas.
Doing, like, you know, the day on the green.
Should we see if Rob's around in a couple of weeks?
Yeah, can we get Rob there?
I'm sure Dami, him will be free.
Probably.
Dami, you're coming to the birth.
This one came from Jana Ducko.
How do you feel about, I think she's taking the piss.
Yeah.
Johnny Cash burning river fire.
This is a bit of fun.
I don't think Morgan will like it, but I like it.
Didn't Morgan say explicitly no country?
She did, but I don't classify this as country.
Johnny Cash, I think, is country.
Yeah, but I don't classify this as country.
I kind of, you know, it's old school.
It's Johnny Cash.
It's iconic.
Okay.
We'll keep it in.
We love this, and we know Morgan is a Beyonce fan.
Michaela wants to run the world.
This makes sense, doesn't it?
Because she's having a girl, a girl pushing out a girl.
Absolutely.
I like this.
I think Morgan will absolutely love this suggestion.
And even if this comes on beyond the moment of having to push, it's a vibe.
It's still a vibe.
Everyone's going to be up and about.
Amen.
Now this one.
Have you got the clean version?
Carly wants you to add WAP by Cardi B.
WAP.
Yeah, I like this.
And I'll sing it too.
Once you've put your guitar down, you've finished Matchbox 20.
Jeez, I'm working overtime in there.
I've just finished Matchbox 20.
Okay, we'll let that one.
Samantha said Tina Turner, Simply the Best.
Oh, yes.
Now that's an anthem.
That's iconic.
That's an anthem.
Oh, yeah.
I like that.
A couple more for you, Ducko.
Maddie said Jump, Van Hal yeah. I like that. A couple more for you, Ducko. Maddie said jump.
Van Halen.
I love Van Halen.
I love Dreams more, but, you know, jump still works.
We can add that.
We can add that.
Shannon said you can do it, Ice Cube.
Oh, a bit of Ice Cube.
You can do it.
That's motivational.
And Molly does like a bit of R&B, a bit of rap.
We can add that one.
I love it.
Okay.
Now, I like this one as well.
Who suggested Thunderstruck?
Oh, this is from Tanya.
Good friend of the show, Tanya.
Very active on the text line, Tanya.
I'll be adding Thunderstruck to that one.
That's our second Akedaka song in there.
That's right.
Yeah.
And then the final one that I think someone added, which I think I love.
Oh, this is from your oh, your boy Craig.
Craigie!
It's the final countdown, baby.
Chuck this one in.
I'm looking forward to just the playlist that we're going to get to have.
It's an eclectic list.
It's going to be so bizarre.
So 13, 10, 60, let's keep them coming in.
We'd love to get you on the phone, but if you want to text or DM,
Labor can go for hours.
Yeah, we need more.
We'll get your name on the list.
You can win a jizz, bitch.
Jess and Ducko.
Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko.
Morgan's Push Playlist.
Ducko and Morgan have given us a great honour to be involved in the birth in a musical capacity.
Yeah.
We are building Morgan's Push Playlist, the songs that will get this woman through labour.
Yes.
And welcome the newest little rice cooker into the world.
Yeah. We've had amazing contributions on the text little rice cooker into the world. Yeah.
We've had amazing contributions on the text line, 0488881069.
They keep filtering through.
They keep coming in.
Jillian has said, somewhere over the rainbow.
Amelia said, unwritten.
Natasha, bedding field.
Ooh, Jess said, man, I feel like a woman, Shania.
Oh, that's good.
This is an eclectic range of songs.
We see them.
We're adding them, you know, unless it's country or screamer.
That's right.
So take that off. Oh, I tried to add Katy Perry and Morgan Poo Poo. Well, no, we're adding them you know, unless it's country or screamo. That's right. So take that off.
I tried to add Katy Perry and Morgan Pooh Pooh
but Dago slipped it in.
We put it in and we're just not going to love it.
But you know, it's still in there.
So come with us with maybe an experience
of yours or just a great suggestion.
Elise, good morning to you.
Good morning, how are you?
Not as good as you.
Up and about for a Thursday. Yeah. Well, that's
right. What would you like to add
to Morgan's push playlist?
So, Tarzan,
you'll be in my heart.
Got to be a bit emotional one.
Yes. The Phil Collins. From Tarzan.
From Tarzan.
Yeah.
This feels nice.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, does this have a story behind it for you, Elise?
Well, it does.
My daughter was born to this song.
We had to play this and this came on.
And when you read the lyrics and hear the lyrics, it is perfect.
So I thought it could be something for you too.
Did you just have a lot of Disney songs on your playlist, Elise?
Well, we had everything.
We had from country to rapture, you know.
To Disney.
You name it. To Disney. Yeah, exactly. I love it, Elise. Thank you. We'll from Country to Rapture, you know. To Disney. You name it.
To Disney.
Yeah, exactly.
I love it, Elise.
Thank you.
We'll chuck it on the list.
Appreciate it.
We go to Carl.
Good morning, Carl.
Morning.
How are you going?
Oh, we couldn't be better, Carl.
What's your nomination for Morgan's push playlist?
It's going to be REM's It's the End of the World As You Know It.
It's the end of the world as you know it. This feels positive. It's not wrong. As we know it, though. Not the end of the world as you know it. It's the end of the world as you know it.
This feels positive.
He's not wrong.
He's not wrong.
As we know it, though.
Not the end of the world, just as we know it.
Oh, you know what?
That's true.
You'll still feel fine.
I've got three kids and I feel fine sometimes.
I love the positivity.
Let's have that one.
That's a bit of fun.
That's imbibed with a lot of love from Carl.
You can tell.
Thank you for that nomination.
Thanks, Carl. On the list. Adam you for that nomination. Thanks, Carl.
On the list.
Adam, good morning.
Hey, how are you?
Pretty good.
What is your nomination for the Push playlist?
It's got to be Baby by Justin Bieber.
Makes a lot of sense.
Adam just wants a jizz bit for sure.
That's right.
We can add a bit of Baby, Justin Bieber.
How would you feel, Adam, that, you know, in two and a half weeks' time,
Ducko gives you a call.
Adam, it was your song playing as my daughter entered the world.
What would that mean to you?
Oh, yeah, heaps.
Heaps of everything right now.
Yeah, heaps.
Adam's like, yeah, I'm from it.
Correct answer.
Welcome to the world.
Good luck to a partner anyway. Thanks, Adam. Thank you, Adam. Gentlemen at a school, I'm from it. Correct answer. Welcome to the world. Good luck to a partner anyway.
Thanks, Adam.
Thank you, Adam.
Gentlemen and a skull, I appreciate you.
We go to Katrina on 131060.
Good morning, Katrina.
What have you got for us?
My neck, my back by Kia because, you know,
it's like she's got to use the gravity to help her push.
Do it.
Do it.
Yeah, do it.
Yeah, do it good.
Yeah, actually, I think Morgan will like this Katrina.
Katrina, does this hold a special memory for you in terms of birth
or you just thought it was appropriate?
Definitely not birth, but other things that helped you get there.
Now what's going to happen is this is going to come on
and I'm going to think of Katrina's other things.
And I'm like...
But no, but she could be dropping it low and using gravity to hold it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, Katrina, okay. Hey, I'm adding it on, Katrina. could be dropping it low and using gravity. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, Katrina.
Okay.
Hey, I'm adding it on, Katrina.
I didn't say I didn't want to.
It's on the list.
It's on the playlist.
Katrina.
Well done.
Jeez, we do have a mix, guys.
Bro, when your daughter is old enough to comprehend.
Yeah.
Hey, tell me about my birth story.
You go, wow, we had this playlist going.
And then this song came.
She'll go, mum, why was I born to my neck, my back, my hmm, and my crack?
Why is my middle name neck?
Welcome to Thursday.
Welcome to Thursday.
We have been taking your nominations for Morgan's Push playlist.
Ducko and Morgan giving us the privilege of being a part of the birth.
You're welcome.
Shy Guy is the only one allowed in.
Hell yeah, yeah.
He'll scrub in with the obstetrician.
Can we do hands on hands?
Anyway, we'll discuss that.
You've got to tell me about these hands on hands.
I've Googled it.
I think it's not for me.
Do you want me to tell you hands on hands tomorrow or Monday?
Maybe next week.
Okay, I'll do it next week.
We won't muddy the waters with the push planets.
What a tease you are.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
But if you would like to contribute, because as we said, if your song is playing,
Ducko will have a laminated sheet.
Babs is working on it.
Yeah.
If your song is playing the moment this girl erupts into the world,
Ducko will call you
in that moment.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bloody hands and all.
You know when the husband
sends out a text usually
or the dad going,
little baby girl,
this born this time,
I'll send that out
to the rice cooker.
Your song was playing.
I know.
And with caveat,
asterisk,
naming rights.
Naming rights.
God, parent rights.
I had a thought yesterday
and I got a little bit
worked up about it.
I'm just going to
put it out there.
I don't want no group bolt text.
I want an individual.
What did you do when you...
I remember yours.
We were in a group text with the boss about something else.
We lost all our producers.
Yeah, we had.
You mean the boss.
And Jace goes, Darko, can you write something for this new show with you and Jess?
And I said, I think Jess is giving birth right now, but I'll write it on behalf of us.
You replied and said, you're right, Darko, I Jess, and I said, I think Jess is giving birth right now, but I'll write it on behalf of us. Yes.
You replied and said, you're right, Daco, I am, and sent a photo.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
So I didn't get an individual text.
Okay, to be fair, Jake, but you batted it up.
I knew, though.
I could sense it in your ovaries.
I was like, oh, okay.
She's pushing.
Yeah, she's going.
You could hear me from the hospital.
But you batted it up.
It was such a perfect segue.
Yeah, you had to do it.
So if a segue arises.
Wait, so can I send you three a group text?
No, I want my own.
Ah, okay.
I'm happy with the group text.
I was just going to send you guys a nice little group.
I want to have a moment with my pal.
He's just become a dad.
I'll send you a text.
I don't want it muddied with Shy Guy and Babs watching.
Not with these thinkers.
I know I want to have a moment with my visionary.
Okay, I'll send you a text.
I think it's special.
I better be first.
If Shy Guy finds out before me, I'm going to be leaving.
Well, he's going to be in there, so he's going to know.
Fair.
After I remind him to text you.
You will.
I mean, there's going to be a lot happening.
And I'll appreciate if it's a couple days later.
You know, they talk about the bubble.
How quickly did you tell?
She was on my chest, man.
But she stayed on my chest for hours.
I stayed in the delivery suite.
Yeah, yeah.
Because the epidural has to wear off.
Yeah, right.
They don't move you until everything's calm.
Question, when the epidural's on, what do you do about weeing and pooing afterwards?
Is it just you don't know when you're doing it?
I think you just go.
You don't know you're doing it though?
I believe so.
I don't remember feeling anything.
And I thought I was one of the rare cases.
Oh, kept it all in.
And Angus went, narcissist.
The nurses and midwives are just so good at cleaning all that up.
Oh, right.
And disposing of it without you ever having.
God, they do good work.
I've heard of women saying a smell just entered the room.
That's how they know their bowels had released.
Whereas I don't even remember that.
But I stink often.
Well, let's give her a smell test.
Jess got new deodorant and she normally pongs.
Shy guy.
Get in under there.
I can't smell anything either.
I'll come round though
because I need to get in tight.
There's nothing.
There's a little bit of something
but nothing.
That's good.
Put that on a Rexona ride.
Better.
It's not gone.
It's been a hell of a
That's the best it's been though.
That's the best it's been in years.
I just can do. Thank you Angus for making your wife wear deodor best it's been, though. That's the best it's been in years. I do work hard. Yeah, yeah.
Thank you, Angus, for making your wife wear the earring to work.
Guilt.
Guilted me.
Guilted me into buying better jewelry.
That crystal I had to pray to just wasn't cutting it.
No.
Shock horror.
Anyway, keep those push playlist suggestions coming.
Keep them coming, because we're going to get heaps on there.
048881069 or of course,
hit us up on socials.
I don't think the text line
has ever had this much interaction.
Mate, it's nearly crashed.
It's unbelievable.
Please do make sure
you put your name on there
because as we said,
we'd like to credit you
with naming rights.
Obviously.
We, yes.
Morgan hasn't giggled at that part
but we'll see how it goes.
Whatever.
We're back tomorrow
for a big Friday show.
It's the Diary Day.
Yep.
Babs and Shaga
are for matcha today.
Oh, we're getting matchas and cupcakes today.
Never got matcha or cupcakes.
Yeah.
Today might be the day.
Cupcakes would be pretty good.
Your guts couldn't handle that, Babs.
Come on.
Oh, they would try.
I want to spend $8 on a cupcake too.
Yeah, that's so true.
If anyone wants to sling Shy Guy a free cupcake, that could be his first influencer thing.
Oh, that would be nice.
He could be the face of the cupcake brand.
Yeah, that'd be good. We couldn't get Ducko Metamucil, but we could get you a cupcake. Oh, that would be nice. He could be the Facebook cupcake brand. Yeah, that'd be good.
We couldn't get Ducko Metamucil, but we could get you a cupcake.
I don't have enough followers.
You know what's annoying is I need to buy more Meta Align,
but I refuse to buy Metamucil.
I absolutely refuse to buy their products.
I hate that place.
We can try again.
It's a year on now.
We can go again.
Re-engage.
He could have a new marketing team.
Oh, that'd be nice.
What's also on tomorrow, we have Forgotten Friday Banger,
most controversial segment I think we do.
Oh, absolutely.
On and off the air.
So keep an eye out on the socials to cast your vote.
What are we doing for the registry tomorrow?
An Apple Pack.
Yes.
You listen out for the baby crying.
Duckle will give you an Apple Watch and AirPods.
Yep, all thanks to Baxco at home.
He's an absolute legend.
So listen out for that tomorrow.
We've got Alpha Box for 10K.
Anyway, enjoy your Thursdays
And we will
See you tomorrow
Bye bye
