The toffee nut flavoured iced latte has arrived at my cafe. Try it today. Jess and Duggo. This is the Jess and Duggo podcast. Oh, hi everyone. Welcome to the podcast. Today's show has unlocked a new fear I didn't think I had. Yeah.

At 33, you think you've seen a few things. Ah, nothing can scare me now. I didn't know how many people were living with tick incidents. Oh, ticks everywhere. South of the border. Ticks on the berries, ticks on the date, ticks in between the incidents. Oh, ticks everywhere. South of the border. Ticks on the berries, ticks on the date, ticks in between the toes. Not even on the date, in the date. In the pot.

Like, I had 30 ticks on him. I'm like, that seems, were they ticks? He's crawled into a nest. Were you in an ant nest? What were you in? How? Yeah. How?

We did, we literally did, where was the tick? Where'd you get a tick? And, jeez, I reckon, I'm going to put it up there, one of the best phoners of the year. Couldn't agree more. Couldn't agree more. Would you guys say that, whatever it is? Oh, absolutely. The stories were to put it up there. One of the best phoners of the year. Couldn't agree more. Couldn't agree more. Would you guys say that? Whatever it is.

Absolutely. The stories were mind-boggling. And what gets me is the openness and the vulnerability. Granted, we had a sister and a grandma dobbing the tick victim. Yeah. But they were the ones involved in the removal. The sister decided to check the brother. Oh, and we had the guy talk about his mum's hot breath.

Oh, yeah. Like, it's unbelievable the vulnerability that about his mum's hot breath. Oh, yeah. Like, it's unbelievable the vulnerability that the rice cookers are showing. Yeah. And I think that's a testament to you and I. Yeah, they're all- Creating a safe space. They're coming out of the cracks and crevices. I mean, Babs and Shaga, we know, judge hard.

But you and I have created an environment. Don't shake your head at me, Babs. You get to speak to them all, I guess, before they come on air. That's true. You're the one deciding, yes, you will go to air. My favourite thing lately is that Simon, the news guy, keeps walking past every time we're doing something really. Yeah.

Well, you had a guy shadowing you today from our sales department. He's new to the team. Yeah. Seeing how every department works. I reckon that would be the most annoying thing, you having to answer phones and someone watching you do it and watching you on the phone. It does make me, like, not struggle.

Yeah, a bit more nervous. It's performance anxiety. Yeah. And are you compelled to sort of explain what you me, like, not struggle, but I'm like, oh, maybe. It's performance anxiety. Yeah. And are you compelled to sort of explain what you're doing? Well, that's what I did. I'd turn around and be like, this is what I'm doing. This is why I'm doing it. I'm like, sorry, you're going to get annoyed by my voice because I'm just going to keep

saying the same thing over again. Did he ask you any questions? Or why did he do this? He actually did. He was asking me a bunch of questions just about stuff. Well, he actually seemed like he listened to the show. Yeah, he did. He said he's played Alpha Bucks before. Oh. He didn't tell us that. Did he stuff. Well, he actually seemed like he listened to the show. Yeah, he did. He said he's played

Alpha Bucks before. Oh. He didn't tell us that. Did he win? No, he got four. See, I got the vibe he wasn't particularly a fan but his wife was.

I think he was acting like that. Oh, do you reckon? Yeah, I think his wife's a big fan. He even said, he's like, I knew Morgan was pregnant and knows names of partners

and stuff. That's true. That is true. It's fun. Did he win Alpha Bucks? No, he only got four. Oh, how embarrassing. He said he did bad. That would have been funny if we get Did he win Alpha Bar? No, he only got four. Oh, how embarrassing for him. That would have been funny.

We'd get him on for a live redemption. His letter was R. That's a great letter. Should have won with R. Should have won. Should have won. You idiot. But I don't know if I've seen many people do that with you, Babs.

Sit there and... We've had a few new starters. We've had a couple, but they don't stay there that long. He stayed there for a while. Oh, he was loving the show. He stayed there for like an hour and a half. Whereas they come for ten. Yeah, I think there's another one next week.

Oh, jeez. Oh, there you go. There is another one next week. Mate, the last week of the show. He stayed there for like an hour and a half, whereas they come for ten. Yeah, I think there's another one next week. Oh, jeez. Oh, there you go. There is another one next week. Mate, the last week of the show. Another sales member? We're just employing, aren't we? Not in this area. No, we're losing people.

Well, that's exciting. And I love Babs being the conduit. Yeah, it's fun. To the show, because I think you're a great representative. Babs is like, hi, the tick was where? On your testicles. Okay. Let's just get to the point.

On your ballsack. Morning. Make sure you go straight into it. Yeah, the mum's hot breath. Make sure you say that. Excellent. Also, I'm late to the party on this. I mentioned it live on the show briefly, but yeah,

your mum and dad just followed me on Instagram. I love this. That's exciting. But the question is, Ducco, were you following them? No. Oh, wow, so they found you. I didn't follow them. You know how they found you? I didn't follow them initially because I was like, I'm not going to do that. Oh, wow, so they found you. I didn't follow them, yeah. You know how they found you?

I didn't follow them initially because I was like, I'm not going to do that. Oh, see, I followed Simone fast because I wanted to get – I followed Babs' housemates and her parents to try and – Oh, you followed her housemates? Yeah, because I wanted goss. I don't even know her housemates' names. Oh, Lucy and Lottie. I followed them.

Oh, Lottie. I remember Lottie, yeah. To try and get stories about Babs. If I was to randomly follow Lucy and Lottie on Instagram, it will come across creepy. You don't think colleagues just want to be in there? I don't think they would find it creepy. I don't think they would.

I think they would find it funny. But also, I just wouldn't. Okay. It's like how I can call people sweets. Yeah. Dull. You do it and you get flagged. And I don't want to see Lucy and Lottie in my feed.

No disrespect to them. Oh, okay. Fair enough. You're missing out. Yeah. I don't even follow Jethro, I don't think. Do you know what? I don't follow Jethro.

I follow who with the cheeks. I follow the cheeks. I follow the cheeks as of today. Can we get a live update on how the cheeks are going? Well, Jethro's at work. He hasn't said anything. But I have a feeling it finished at nine. I don't know.

Well, does that mean? I'm just waiting for an update. Oh, that doesn't look good for them then. No. Because you know what? The story to now vote has disappeared. Yeah. So I'm assuming it's done. But that's okay. They got that far. look good for them then. For an update, no. Because you know what? The story to now vote has disappeared. Yeah, so I'm assuming it's done-ski. But that's okay.

They got that far. They did get that far, but that's loser talk, Babs. Yeah, we don't want to. No, but I'm sure they appreciated it. You're not first or last, Babs. Amen. Everyone was posting about it. We don't live in a world where we want to give participation medals just to anyone.

We don't like that. It's true. But anyway, I'm looking forward to- Do we still get the cheeks in to do the cover of Candy Shop? I think so. Could they do that? Can they come on our last show? Hmm?

Next Friday? That's actually fine. You want them to go live? To do what? We can pre-record it. It needs to be within the next five days. To sing Candy Shop. The Cheeks rendition of Candy Shop.

They can also, you know, plug their own band, but like... Oh, it'll naturally happen. It'll do itself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can ask. We can play a sting of one of their songs. They can also, you know, plug their own band, but like... Oh, it'll naturally happen. It'll do itself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can ask. We can play a sting of one of their songs. No, but see, look at the attitude. She's going to be like, do you guys want to?

You've got to go in with gusto. You can strip it back, a little acoustic set maybe. The whole team doesn't need to come in. How many singers are there? One. But they do backup vocals? Ah, yes. You want layers of Candy Shop.

Candy Shop. Candy Shop. Well, Shaga can do that. Because Shaga and I seem to need to record our sexy song, which we will do. I've seen the lyrics. Candy shop. Candy shop. Little Chaga can do that. Chaga and I seem to need to record our sexy song, which we will do. I've seen the lyrics printed on Bud's desk for weeks. Yeah, we will do that. I can do it tomorrow. No, I can't.

Yeah, before the Christmas party. You've got time to kill. Do you? No. I'm getting coffee with a mate at 9.30 who's in town, and then I've got to go to the gym, and then I go to the Christmas party. Okay. But I mean.

Carve out some time during the show maybe. We could, yeah. We could do it. We can do it. Well, yeah. I mean, we could, yeah. We're waiting to do it Everyone's really excited

to do it obviously. It's just so fucking hard to get things done around this place sometimes. It is. We couldn't do it the day of and then we're on bloody skeleton. Yeah, yeah.

I don't even remember why we were going to do it. I'm going to say we. The Zuckerberg. The Zuckerberg thing. And that's so long ago now. I still want to do it. I still think it would be funny. It would be funny. Oh, we definitely should do it. I also want to say we. I mean you. The Zuckerberg thing. And that's so long ago now. I still want to do it. I still think it will be funny.

It'll be funny. Oh, we definitely should do it. I also want to do it too. Oh, I can't wait. Okay. All right. Well, we'll get it done. So let's work on that.

Cheeks to do, 50 cent. Yeah. Shy Guy and Darko to do, a song. We won't tell what song it is. It's going to be a surprise. It's going to be a funny one. And a lot of more fun to be had. Are you going to do a song?

No, do you want to do a song? You're going bad with me. What do we do? You can do like a naughty Christmas carol and dress up like the chicks from Home. Do you want to do the Mean Girls? Yeah, Mean Girls. Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell. You give, what's the one with the boobs?

Karen. Karen, why? Because she's dumb and blonde. She's blonde. Not the dumb part, the blonde part. You said dumb. I like how she can tell when it's going to rain because she fills her boobs.

Yeah, exactly. I'll be Gretchen Wieners because she's obsessed with Pop-Tarts. That's actually quite intelligent, filling the rain with your boobs. I think so, yeah. Well, you did work in your body sense. Remember off your mate

with the ovulation. Yes, we did. Yeah, yeah. There you go. Anyway, we'll work on that. Sorry, guys, we just had a big meeting there just for everyone listening along.

Oh, is everyone still here? Hello. Hello. But the show is fantastic. Oh, it's a wonderful show. We're not taking our foot off the gas, that's for sure. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Welcome to Thursday team.

Good morning. Nice to see you in the flesh, Duckman. Good to be back in the studio. Felt right. It does feel good. It feels weird when you're not right across from me and I'm craning my neck to the left. To Shy Guy.

To look at Shy Guy, just like, I need to look at a human face. Yeah. So nice to see. How was the journey back? You had a, well, attempted romantic weekend. Yeah. Oh, a couple nights away. Couple nights away in Sydney.

Saw a nice, a great music artist. Yep, yep. But the journey back, I had to literally hightail it from the studio in Sydney, run to like, it was like a K and a half where we had to park the car. Because obviously in Sydney, you can't. You're not getting a... No parking. Yeah.

Where our hotel was in the city. So then I had to like run to Morgan where she was in the car. She had to get back to go to work. Oh, damn. So I like ran. I got to her. She had like a coffee waiting for me. I was like, it was like 34 degrees.

Load up, baby. Here we go. And we drove straight back. Made it on time. I dropped her to work. I didn't see her again. And then she got home. Her friend dropped her home like last night. Oh, baby. Here we go. And we drove straight back. I dropped her to work. I didn't see her again. And then she got home. Her friend dropped her home last night.

Oh, okay. That was that. Well, lucky you carved out some quality time there. I know. It is the season. It is the season. I literally, I cracked the sads with my husband last night because we've had so many events on that are taking us away of an evening that I get home or he gets home.

Let's be real. I get home first, go to bed. And I'm like, what am I, live alone? I thought I married someone. And he was out for like a Christmas team dinner last night. And I literally text him being like, I'm sick of this going to bed on my own nonsense. Yeah, where are you? And then he didn't reply.

And I was like, anyway, good night. And he wrote back being like, oh, I'm sorry, you mad. I'll come home. I went, oh, no, I don't want you to come home like that. I was just venting. But also like. And also don't not reply to the first one, then reply to the second one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was like, oh, I've't want you to come home like that. I was just venting. But also like. And also, don't not reply to the first one, then reply to the second one.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was like, oh, I've let this simmer too long. Whenever Morgan does that to me, I'm like, oh, I pretend to say that, then it's like, oh, what? Wait a minute, no. Three drinks later. Exactly, and then you're watching the Instagram stories. You're like, you're having a great time.

And phones were out. Couldn't see my message. Anyway, I hope you had a nice dinner. Yeah, geez. Morning to you. Good morning. Do you reckon he's up listening? No, I hope you had a nice dinner. Yeah, geez. Morning to you. Good morning. Do you reckon he's up listening? No, I think it was a late night, so I'd be surprised if he wasn't, you know, a couple

of bottles deep. Because you still don't have your Christmas tree up yet, do you? And I say that, I mean... You were going to do it the other day. I know. You told us you were. I know. I know, Shaga, and I got excited.

But... Oh, I nearly did it then. I was about to say, ducko. Angus. Angus made a lovely point that maybe the baby would want to be involved and it was past her bedtime and I was like, she's not going to help. She won't notice anything. And he was like, but it might be nice if she like holds a bauble.

She'll ruin it. She'll drop it. But I literally went, well, if we don't do it tonight, when can we do it? So we've looked in the calendar. It's like next Wednesday. To be fair, that's actually probably right on time. I know.

That'll be like December 3 or something. But your logic about just enjoying it a bit longer. Yes, yeah. We're away for Christmas, so many events. Yeah. We're going to have it up for genuinely three days, it'll feel like. It's one of the great feelings. Before it's January.

Turn the lights onto the tree. Yes. And when, you know, that sunset period, you're like, it's just there. It's that time of year. I didn't realise Angus bought fancy lights. There's the static light. He's on. And then there's another setting, twinkle.

Oh, we like twinkle. I've just got the basic on-off lights. Gross. I need an update. You need to upgrade your lights. The twinkle effect. Beautiful. It's unbelievable.

It's like Buble is in my living room. Oh, God. It is. That's a bit creepy, but he's there. Hey, we've interviewed him. He's a great guy. We have interviewed him. He's a great guy. We have interviewed him. He's a friend of the show.

Good friend of the show. I always tell people, he said we were attractive because it was via Zoom. I tell everyone that. The minute it comes on, it's big. Oh, he said we were hot. He said we were hot. Don't you just feel like a bit better about the scenario? I do.

I'm very happy with this. Yeah. Get the twinkle lights, bro. Okay. Get the twinkle lights. The only downside to putting the tree up early, I will say this, because I put one up, geez, almost two weeks ago now. Yeah. I have been oninkle lights. The only downside to putting the tree up early, I will say this, because I put one up, jeez, almost two weeks ago now. Yeah.

I have been on vacation mode. The year has. It does something to you psychologically. It does. I even reckon we were very lucky to get Christmas Lane to come in and decorate the studio. Yeah, they did a great job. Even this vibe.

It feels very chill. It feels like I want to put my feet up. Yeah. Like I'm at my mum's house, take the top button off. Yeah. Where's all the food? Yeah. We're still going to get to next Friday, guys.

We do. Which still feels ridiculous to say. Someone asked me last night at book club, when do you finish up for the year? And I'm like, next Friday. What a spoiled little brat. Are you joking? Hey, we're going to professional content development. You know that.

You know that. That's how we're going to keep contributing to society. Yes, that's what we're doing. But hey, big show though. And then we're coming back Christmas Day, let's not forget. We have our Christmas Day spectacular show. We have a Christmas Day extravaganza. Babs and Shy Guy are singing carols in the background while we do our show.

That's right. Shy Guy's going to give us his best boob lay. Babs is obviously going to be Mariah. Yes. It's going to be a whole thing. Fantastic. That's a collaboration we haven't actually seen in real life, have we? No.

Maybe this will inspire the real boobs and Kerry to get together. I thought you meant Babs and Shy Guy. I was like, no, we haven't seen that collaboration. I wouldn't mind seeing it. Well, today's their matcha day where they work on Shy Guy's diary. That's right. I don't think we'll get a matcha. I'm not sold.

I don't want to drink dirt. It tastes like dirt. Matcha is a phase. Liquid dirt. Yeah. Anyone who says they like matcha, you're lying to yourself. You're lying. Yeah. I love it when you put a kilo of honey in it. Okay. Anyone who says they like matcha, you're lying to yourself. You're lying. Yeah.

I love it when you put a kilo of honey in it. Okay. Do you know what? I count that with Aperol Spritz. Yeah. I don't like Aperol. It's disgusting. It tastes like medicine.

Well said. You're getting it because it is aesthetically pleasing. Yeah. It's refreshing. It comes in the giant glass. I agree. With a fun straw. I've never liked Aperol.

Matcha, Aperol Spritz. In the bin. In the bin. And can I pile on kombucha? I had a kombucha yesterday. I don't know why. Another phase, right? Disgusting.

Was it the scoby inside? Kombucha started off as a living thing. Yeah. Like on top of people's fridges. An alien. In a petri dish. Yeah. I don't want to be drinking that.

Yeah. Disgusting. Just have water. Just have water. If water doesn't feel like a good option, you're not actually thirsty. Water, beer and a flat white. That's all you need. That's your refreshing life.

I'm going to sub out beer for a rosé, but let's push on. Let's do that. Hey, Alphabucks coming up, 6.30, 10K, 1K. Choice is yours. Doing that again at 8 as well. We've got Wordy Oakey on the show today. Babs is Quizmaster. That's right.

We've got plenty of opportunities to get involved with the call of fame. Oh, yeah, plenty of fun ones today. $500 Emco Beauty Glam Pack. But you know what I always say about this show? Educational. Tampons and ladders. Tampons and ladders. And we love to make sure the rice cookers are equipped with the knowledge.

They're prepared. Coming up next, how we want you to prepare for the horniest week of the year. It's on approach. So we've got time. Okay. Tick tock. To buy what we need to, shave what we need to. It's coming up.

Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. We are coming up to, Ducko, the horniest week of the year. A fertility aid company. Yes. Naturo Best. I don't know if they do, like, supplements or devices. Yeah.

But they've compiled some data. They've been on the ABS, the Bureau of Statistics. Love the ABS. And done some maths. They've worked out in this country when most Australians are born. Yes. And then minus nine months. Ah, smart.

To work out when are the most Australians doing it to then conceive and have babies. I feel like there's a lot of September babies, right? You're absolutely right. Yeah, yeah. Which means we are coming up to the horniest week of the year. Yes. It's the Christmas week. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

The week of Chrissy. The week of Chrissy. Because you put boobs on and you go, should we? Should we? All of a sudden you look hot, Greg. 100%. A couple of eggnogs deep, Greg, and take your pants off. They're looking at this, of course, with a factor of maybe you're off work.

Obviously, that doesn't apply to every industry. But your stress levels are down, and we know how stress affects libido. But also it's, yes, maybe increase in good times, increase in good food, good wine, this sort of thing. It just is the best time of year. It's the best time of year. Specifically, the busiest day. And I put busy. Oh, yes. We can narrow it down to a day.

Christmas Eve. That's a good one. So it's almost like before the pandemonium of, you know, your 45 rellos coming for Christmas Day and how we're going to fit all the people, all the food is our TV up to scratch. Should we just have a little you and me time? A little sesh. Christmas Eve, apparently, according to the birth rate

and the birthdays happening in the next year, Christmas Eve is the busiest. December 29 and December 30 also fall into that period because you know that window between Christmas and New Year? Where no one knows what day it is. Where it's like no man's land. You've fallen into a black hole. People just drinking and bonking.

Drinking and bonking. And we know that every, you know, sexy encounter doesn't result in a baby. But for how many have, would suggest 24th, 29th and 30th of December. That it's working. Prepare yourself. Do your stretches. Do whatever you need to do. You took the words right out of the big fella's mouth.

You know what I mean? Prepare your whistles to be wet. I thought you were going to say Santa Claus there or something. Yes. Shy guy's been saying it. And as Noah Khan said, stick season. That's right. Two other dates which were interesting to me out of this data.

Yes. July 14 and January 7. What's going on on those dates that apparently vary? July 14 to January 7. Is January 7 right before on those dates? July? January 7th. Is January 7th right before you go back to work? Or is it like right when people are going back? January 7th. Orthodox Christmas.

So our Greek and Macedonian friends. So I guess it's the equivalent of December 24th for maybe the Greek calendar. And July 14th. Oh, daco. Yeah, what's July 14th? It's France's national holiday. But obviously the Aussie French. Bastille Day.

It's Bastille Day. Bastille Day. But do we care about Bastille Day here? I mean, I think that's boyfriends looking at a calendar going, hey, honey, it's Bastille Day. Should we do it again? Second time this year we had Christmas. That didn't work.

We got Bastille. Jess and ducco. Now, we know the legislation's been passed by the government for... Didn't that just sound serious, what I just said? I just talked about the horniest week of the year, and now Ducko's trying to make us into Talkback. I promise this will get

fun. I was going to say, we chatted to Whipper about the social media ban for minors. That's right. Raising the minimum age from 13 up 36 months to 16 years of age to protect their mental health and everything that goes along with the dangers of social media. People like Elon Musk, obviously, he's got a bit of added interest in it. He's come out saying that that's not lawful. It's got regulation laws including international human rights treaties to which Australia is part of. It's not lawful to ban and the basic human right of having social media.

It's so gross the companies like Snapchat that came out being like, no, no, we want them. Do you hear what you're saying? Snapchat said that we're not a social media, we're a message outlet. The TikTok awards were, was it last night? Yeah. And there was a media outlet interviewing them on the red carpet, some TikTok influencers. Yeah.

And the number of influencers, it was diabolical who were saying, they were asking them about it and they were like, oh, no, I don't think it should be. I don't think it's going to do anything. Do you guys hear yourselves? How old were they? They'd be like 18 to 20. Well, most of these influencers probably look like maybe mid-20s to me.

Yeah, okay. But, I mean, I'm not 100% sure. They made one video in their kitchen one time and blew up. 100%. So many of them were like, no, it's probably not going to do anything. It shouldn't be. Yeah. What?

Anyway. For young kids and for their brains and stuff like that. I can understand that if you were a kid at the time, you'd say this is unfair. Sure. Woe is me, for sure. But for what it's doing at the time. Anyway, so obviously Meta, all of them are coming out. The big ones, Instagram, Facebook, X, they're all blowing up about trying to get it pushed

back. It's set to be passed. However, one company we've all forgotten about is, I think, worse off in this entire situation. Who? LinkedIn. What's LinkedIn's stake in this? LinkedIn is technically part of it and would include the ban as well. Hang on a minute.

Yeah, yeah. How many kids are on LinkedIn? My uncle Trevor endorsing me for Microsoft Word skills is going to be horrible. Hang on. So I can't get that now from Trev because if I'm 14 and I've started my first job, I've made my profile. And you put your profile up Fish and Chip Shop. Great for networking. Obviously.

Great to connect. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll endorse you for Excel. Oh, thank you so much. I'll endorse you for leadership skills. Thank you. I used to endorse all my friends for things, even though I didn't know. My dad loves to congratulate people

on their work anniversaries. Oh, good side. See, and that's what LinkedIn is saying. LinkedIn is saying, we are so boring. We do not have common interests of minors. We're not appealing to minors. We should not be included in this. Oh, hang on though. So are they trying to fight it in that regard? Yeah, they're trying to say like... See, now that

just feels sinister to me. Leave the children alone. I kind of have to agree with LinkedIn. Yeah. What do you do on that thing except for endorse people for skills and then look at their work history? But if they're too boring why can't they just be umbrellaed?

Because you know what, they're a gateway. They're a gateway drug because are kids going to just be looking for anything. A hit of any social media. It's like all they've got is LinkedIn. So that becomes where we bully each other. They'll be scrolling for new jobs and they'll get really excited for new jobs. Yeah, yeah.

And instead, this is just, you know what's going to happen? Their friend, you know, Bianca from school isn't going to endorse them for their Microsoft Word skills. And that's how we're going to start bullying this generation. It's like you say you endorse me for Microsoft, I'd do you for leadership. Yeah, but instead you... You'd be a shy guy for Microsoft. You know he sucks at that.

We don't like him. The fights this will now create in the schoolyard. Poor LinkedIn. Sorry, LinkedIn. I think you do need to be kept in the ban. I'm sorry. You all need to go. In the ban, I'm saying.

Everyone's blowing it. LinkedIn's like, hey, where? Lame as all hell. Are we in this? Are we really on the same level as Instagram and Snapchat? Are we in this fight? So watch this space for everyone. Watch this space.

Watch this my space. Bad man, dude. Don't go there. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Jess and Ducko's 10K Alphabucks on hit. 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.

And if you're unsure of the question, just say pass. We come back if there's time. They're the rules of engagement. You get to choose between the 10K or the 1K. That choice today is yours, Corinne. Good morning. Morning, how are you? Corinne, we couldn't be better. We have the opportunity to supercharge your weekend, your Christmas. The question is, do you want $1,000 in your back pocket or $10,000? I've said the $10,000. I have my so. Hey, don't have any regrets. I mean. You can't regret it.

No regrets. We've never had this before, Ducko, but I'm going to do it. Do you want to pivot to kids, Corinne? It's not too late. This timer hasn't started. Can we pivot? Can we pivot? Are we pivoting?

Back quick. Print the kids. Oh, no. We're pivoting. That's gone. Bye-bye. Bye. Okay.

Okay, all right. Kids. The other kids game. Hold on. What do you want to do with $1,000, Corinne? Oh, my goodness. I didn't even think of that this morning. I mean, it's getting close to Chrissy.

I think that it would be going to something for the school holidays. I love that. Oh, yeah. Okay. Well, one thing stands between you and $1,000 in your bank account, Corinne, and it's the letter E. E for exciting. Okay.

Okay. Okay. Corinne switched into game mode. Come on, Corinne. The first ever change we've had live on the fly. I know, that was wild. And I wonder if people are going, I didn't know I could do that. Well, it's going to set a dangerous precedent.

It is. I've told Babs one thing, but now I've panicked. Yeah. I think we make people nervous. Yeah, I think so. Are you nervous, Corinne? A little bit. Don't be.

No, don't be. We're mates. Okay. We're mates. We're mates. Your time will start after the first question. Corinne, you ready? Yes.

All right. Starting with the letter E, we need you to name a three-letter word. Egg. A Winnie the Pooh character. Eeyore. An Australian animal. Echidna. Something you see at Christmas time.

I mean, eight out of ten. You can hold your head up high. I reckon you would have got two if you did the $10,000. Yeah, $10,000 for E, you would have been tough. Yeah. I'd have been tough. Well done. Well done, Corrine.

That's a win for you today. Good pivot. Thank you. Thanks. We do play again late. $10,000 or $ That's a win for you today. Good pivot. Thank you. Thanks. We do play again late. 10K or 1K. I'd love to give it away. Where'd you get a tick?

Where'd you get a tick? Did you get a tick? And we don't mean a red pen tick on your assignment. No. We mean those little critters. Little critters. They get in everywhere. And when you least expect it.

My sister, she's got four kids. She's cracking it. They're not even on Christmas holidays yet. Oh, my God. Has school not finished for them? No, I don't believe so. Because, you know, I feel like school finishes at the start of November and they go back in March. They're not even on Christmas holidays yet. Oh, my God. Has school not finished for them? No, I don't believe so. Because, you know, I feel like school finishes at the start of November and they go back in March.

They go back. They genuinely go back in Feb next year. It's wild. What are you meant to do with them for that long? I don't know. School finishes on the 18th of December. 18th of December. So a little bit more.

Okay. So she's got a bit more time, but starting to crack it. And on the weekend, they're renovating their house as well. So her hubby is, like, building and doing all that. So she took them. She's like, let's go for a bushwalk. Let's go on the weekend, they're renovating their house as well. So her hubby is like building and doing all that. So she took them. She's like, let's go for a bushwalk. Let's go on an adventure, kids. Let's go on an adventure.

Let's make some memories. Yeah. This is up in Queensland, Brisbane. They went to this like Mount Cooth area. It's not even that off. Like it's not even that hectic of a bushwalk. I wouldn't really call. It's like suburban bush.

Yeah, pretty much. It's like you go through a few of the bush tracks and it's like, wow. Anyway. You can still hear the highway, but sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, there's, but sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, there's a telephone pole. Yeah, yeah. Hey, we're not going full extreme adventure, okay?

We need safety. Mate, four kids and they're relatively young. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she's on her own. And she's on her own. I get it. Put your Reeboks on, kids. We're going for a walk.

She said half the time was spent either crying or tantruming or they were hitting each other. And then Molly. This is how memories are made. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My memory was that bush walk and we just hated it and hated you. My mum tried to take us on a bush bicycle trek one time. Can't imagine your mum riding a bike. Or a jazz.

Let alone me. Actually, yeah, can you ride a bike? I wouldn't have asked you. Do you know what? I haven't been on a bike in a while. But I remember just being in tears the whole time and my mum screaming, Keep up! Keep up!

That's probably the beginning of the end. Why were you so slow? Why were you so slow? What's with an uphill gravel hill on what's meant to be just like a nice weekend activity? Keep up, Jessica! I hate physical activity! I think that's where my hatred of it started. But I get it.

I can already picture Abby up against it. Up against it. The whinging. It's probably hot. It was hot. They were hating it. And she said that they came home after that and she finally got them back. Packed them in the car.

Whatever. And then Molly, her oldest, who was actually being the best behaved on it, was like, Mom, I've got this scratch on my head. It was like the bottom of her skull. Like, down the crane of her head. And then she looks over. And it's just, you know, when you have to double take, put your phone torch on, like, is that a tick?

You know, I've never seen one in real life. See, we grew up living on acreage. I used to get ticks all the time. Okay, they were drawn to you. Oh, yeah, it was a tick magnet. Not a chick magnet. Trust me. You know, they say if you eat bananas, mozzies like you more.

What were you eating that the ticks were drawn to you? I don't know. All that chicken breast. I also got a lot of leeches in my time. I got plenty of leeches. You must have interesting blood. Yeah, and leeches are worse than ticks, I reckon. Oh, absolutely. You can see them sucking on you. How do you get them? Oh, that's gruesome.

And the thing is, the ticks get bigger. How big would you say? It was only little. Like, it was a couple of centimetres. But you can see it with the naked eye. The thing about tics as well, and you get them with tweezers, you have to twist before you pull out to get the legs out because the legs burrow in. Is it almost like a stapler? Like, they've latched in.

They go in. But if you just pull the body off, the legs stay in there and you can't affect it. And then what happens? So you've got to twist and then pull. Not that I want tic legs in me. No. But what happens if they stay?

I think you can get affected. I don't know if the tics still, like, technically alive. And Molly's got so much life ahead of her. She doesn't want to grow up knowing there's t legs in her. She can't be tick head. She's got so much life left. I can already see the insults at school. Her year 12 jersey. Instead of saying Molly, she says tick head.

Tick hyphen head, obviously. That's the correct way to do it. That'd be her nickname. I was going to say she's nine-hour ducat. So anyway, my sister sees it. Oh, yeah, because I was going to say she's an ala-ducket, but her dad's got a different name. Let's not get into it. So anyway, my sister sees it.

She was screaming. She was crying. She didn't do the twist and pull. Do they? If you grow up in Queensland and you were going to go bushwalking, are tweezers a part of your kit? Like, did she have tweezers on her? Or did they have to get home? They were at home.

They were at home and had the tweezers. But, like, I knew you'd twist and pull. It's because I had so many tics as a kid. But for some reason, Abby, she must have panicked. She just pulls it straight out of her daughter. The legs are still in there. Then she's having to scrape it. Dig them out.

And so you've got to dig in and dig it out. And on an adult, that's annoying, but you get it. But on a kid, and so screaming in tears. And now the kids are like, we're never going on a bushwalk again. We don't want to be tickheads like mom. She's a tickhead. So that would be fun to do. 13, 10, 60.

Who was it and where'd they get the tick? Because what a great place in hindsight to get the tick if that's what's required. You get that anywhere else. What the hell do you have to do to get it off? We go to Luke on 13, 10, 60. Luke, did you get a tick? Are you a tickhead? Yes, I am. Oh, no. What the hell do you have to do to get it off? We go to Luke on 131060. Luke, did you get a tick? Are you a tick head? Yes, I am. Oh no, Luke. What happened?

So we're doing some flood relief when storms come through, crawling through water, obviously walking through the water and I put my socks on my boots and felt a weird sensation between my toes the next day and there it was. In between the toes.

Oh, that's a bad one. Yes. Was it a big boy, or could you get it out easily? Well, I go to the doctor, and it's the first time I've experienced it, so I don't think he ever had one before because it broke off, and he had to do a bit of digging. Yeah, he had to do a bit of digging. In between the toes?

How do you dig in between the toes? You need those things you get when you get your pedicure. Ah, yes, your toe separators. I hate feet as it is, so. Yes. Well, not this tick. This tick obviously had a fetish for you, Luke. Yeah, he liked you, Luke.

Okay. Hey, look, 13106, you're getting plenty of people calling. He's not a tick head, he's a tick toe. Tick toe. Tick toe. Hey, it works. Where do you get a tick? Are you a tick head?

Are you a tick toe? Give us a call. Just cause. Oh, I'd love to hear. Yeah. Tick on the... Tick south of the border. Tick south of the border would be fun.

On anyone, really. Why not? Yeah, because you know ticks get bigger too. The heads get fatter. Do they? Yeah, and they suck the blood. They suck the blood. So have you ever seen, like, my dog, not here, but my dog in Queensland when I grew up...

Fred. Fred used to get ticks because we were living in a creek and stuff I was a bit of a farm boy, I don't know How you don't own an Akubra baffles me I don't get it It baffles me Anyway, where did Fred get ticks? He had plenty of ticks, but sometimes you could see them

Sometimes they're tiny, so you always check your dog's fur But sometimes they grow so big What about the hairy dogs? You know what I mean? Oh, the shaggy ones. The shaggy boys. Oh, that could be living under there for years before you know. Anyway.

That's why you take the flea and tick. Ah, next card. Anyway. You need to take flea and tick. You need to wear one of those collars. And Molly. Hey, call us ticks. We'll get you one next.

I promise. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. Something you could get, a disease, if you get a tick, you know. That's right. And it's not removed appropriately. Twist and pull. Twist and pull. Twist is key.

Twist is key. I'm learning a lot here. I didn't grow up in bushland. Yeah. So I've never really experienced a tick. Yeah, we're talking ticks. We're talking ticks. So you get one.

Where was it? My sister took her four kids for a bushwalk because she just wanted to get them out of her house. She'd cracked it. She'd had enough. When I say bush, it wasn't really a bushwalk, just like a little bit off the beaten track. And then they all screamed, cried, hailed each other, and then one of them got a tick. And then that was even worse.

The one that had been the best behind. Molly didn't deserve it. Molly didn't deserve the tick, but she got the tick on her head. And then Abby didn't twist it, my sister. And then she had to scrape it out. Then all the kids were screaming and crying, saying, man, never want to bushwalk again. And now Molly will forever be known as Tickhead. Tickhead.

She's an old Tickhead. So it begs the questionhead. Tickhead. She's an old Tickhead. So it begs the question. Tickhead Jones. Are you a Tickhead yourself? And where was it? But we've already heard from Ticktoe. Ticktoe Luke. Ticktoe Luke.

Mackenzie, what's your new nickname after you got a tick? No, it was actually my friend. We were camping on the October long weekend. And my friend and I had obviously a few drinks being the long weekend and she's not a massive drinker so they sleep in the rooftop 10 and through the like middle of the morning she got down and has fallen over in the bush and taken a tick back up with her and it's landed on his crotch line and to this day she will never ever let that down. So it's fallen on what, her partner's crotch or something? Yeah.

So she's like fallen over in the bush and walked back up the ladder to the rooftop tent. Yes, yes. And he has found. And she's flicked a tick on him. Flicked a tick. Flicked a tick on his. And sorry, is he pantsless at this point? Like, was it able to burrow into skin?

Just in undies. Just in undies. Just in undies. Oh, no. And then when we wake up at, like, six the next morning, the first person he calls to dob on her was his mum. Don't be getting the mother-in-law involved. Mum, you won't believe what she did. She's the worst.

Because you know that's getting brought up at the wedding. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Mummy, I have a tick on my groin now. Make her go away. Tick crotch. Tick crotch. Oh, no. Brilliant, Mackenzie. We go to Stephen on 131060. G'day, yeah. Mommy, I have a tick on my groin now. Make her go away. Tick crotch. Tick crotch. Oh, no. Brilliant, Mackenzie.

We go to Stephen on 131060. G'day, Steve. Hey, guys. How are you? Yeah, pretty good. Where'd you get a tick, Steve-o? I got a tick on my balls. Tick balls.

Tick balls. Tick testings. Tick testings. Tick balls. Tick balls. All right, mate. That sounds painful and uncomfortable. Talk us through it.

There's a bit of a back story. So my folks own a property and we're always out there, there's heaps of ticks in summertime, and we get home and it's all itchy on the walls. But I'm about 13, and you can imagine a 13-year-old's hair isn't very steady, it's gotten over a mirror. So I go to mum's and there I am then, spread eagle on my back. No, no. Trying to pick a tick out of my ball.

No. What a bonding moment. Well, mum's eyesight's not very good at the best of times. So she's squinting. She's up in there real close. Where is it? I can feel her hot breath right at the bottom of the back of my ball. Did she get it?

Was she able to get it? She did. She's got it. She had about 10 minutes to spare and she got it. It's my mum's first radio. Particularly that age. My mum does as well, refuses to put her glasses on. She's like, I don't need it.

I've got this. Put your freaking glasses on. Please put them on. That's such a formative age too because you're either just going through puberty or maybe you've just been through it or you haven't yet. Oh, you never forget it. You never forget it. You would have been so close after that, Steve.

Bonding, right? I don't know about that. She just sees you at the dinner table, makes like a little remark. I'll always have power over you. What power moves? I'll tell your friends. Thank you, Steve. From Tick Testies to Nathan.

Good morning, Nathan. Yeah, how you going? Good, mate. Yeah, pretty good. Where'd you get a tick, brother? So, yeah, I was about 13 myself playing soccer with a mate. Yeah. And the soccer ball went under a lime tree.

Yes. snorkelling with a mate, and the snorkel ball went under a lime tree. I went home, and my old lady had a torch digging him out of my bum hole. Sorry, did you say them? Plural. Plural. Yeah, there was many of them. What? They were in the eye of my mini-main. What?

They were in the date of the storm. How long were you under the tree that the whole tribe of ticks has had time to get in there? It was a lime tree. You were in there for a while. I climbed under hands and knees, obviously. Got the soccer ball out. You had to get in. Were you naked? Were you just presenting to

these ticks? I don't know what happened, mate, but yeah, she took 35 of them out of the tree. Oh, shut up! Oh, shut up. No way. 35 ticks. They were down in my ears. They were everywhere. Wow.

You must have crawled into the nest. Yeah. Oh, my. I had to be doused in meth-o to make sure she got them all. Yeah, I bet. Yeah, that's true. You're lucky you're still with us. At 13.

At 13. Nathan's part tick at this point. But your mum getting them out of your butt hole. I don't know what it's worth. The berries or the butt. The berries. From tick testes to tick butt. Let's go to Di.

Hello, Di. Hi. How you going? Yeah. Good. I don't know if we're good. He's been great. Did you get a tick or someone you know?

No, not me. No, not me. My grandson. Okay. Was he 13? No, he was only seven. Okay. And he had like a little lump on his peenie.

And I'm going, we're going, oh, you'll be right. You've just been bitten by something, you know, la, la, la. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, over the next few days, it kept getting bigger and bigger. Oh, no. And we're going, oh, I don't know. Anyway, my husband went and got a magnifying glass and he said his legs in there.

He had legs. Not legs in the penis. La, la, la. You can see it. Anyway, so we tried to but we couldn't get it out so we ended up having to take him to the doctor and, yeah, get it out. Had a nice little hole in it for a little while but it eventually healed. Because it's under the skin at this point.

Yeah, it had gone in halfway up. It was like, yeah, really dug in. And it's still alive, isn't it, Di? Yeah, it's burrowing in. Like it's feeding off him. Poor thing. He would have been so weak. Oh.

Yeah, it's like the tick's taking his life force. Oh, yeah. And having someone put a magnifying glass on your junk. Grandad. I don't care how old you are. That's never fun. Grandad getting a magnifying glass. I swear I'll find it.

Tick testes. Tick butt. This is the last one. And a tick penis. This has been better than I thought it would be. Oh, my God. This has been fantastic. It makes Molly your niece.

Oh, yeah. What a sook. This is child's play. What a sook. Yeah, yeah. Let's go to Christine. Your brother, Christine, has had a tick. Yeah, we went camping and we went bushwalking we'd be gone for like

Two hours and he got back and he wasn't Feeling well and we checked himself out And he found one but it had Burried in underneath his nuts So No one else wanted to touch And I'm like oh my god So I had to actually lift them up

Last thing you want to do And try and dig this chick out. How old are you, Halty? He's 22 at the time. But it was like right underneath them, so I had to actually touch them. I had to lift them up to try and get it out. Did you have any success? Because I'd been there so long and he was starting to feel sick,

he had to go to the hospital. And when we got to the hospital, he had to be on a drip and everyone wanted to come and have a look. And once they heard the story, they couldn't. You could see the smirk on the nurse's face. They're like, they're trying not to laugh. And I'm like, yeah, I'm the one that had to lift them up. Who else were you with, Christine, that went, not me, shocker, not,

shocker, not, that the sisters had to say, I'll step up for you, bro? Yeah, like the whole family. Everyone's like, no, I'm not touching them. I'm like, oh, my God. That's a great sister. I had to actually grab hold of them and lift them up because it was right underneath them.

I'm like, oh, this is gross. You really got up in there. You know everything about them now. Did you name them? Well, this one's Christina You really got up in there. You know everything about him now. Did you name him? Well, this one's Christina. I know. And it had been there so long, it looked like he had three knots instead of two. How much had these ticks bloody sucked out of him?

A lot, because he ended up on a drip overnight in hospital on antibiotics because it had been there so long. And just to look on the nurse's face, we're priceless. They're trying not to laugh. They just had this smirk on their faces and they're looking at me and I'm like, yeah, hello, I'm the one that had to lift them up. Yes, yes. Yeah, you must love each other now.

Really good Christmas presents from your brother, Christine. Yeah. I've unlocked this level of parenting. I'm not sure if I saw in my future, now that I think about it, probably fits with the kind of person I am. Putting all my eggs in one basket, I am that kind of person. Phases. Phases.

Remember karate? Hey, man, I got my yellow tip. I will not let you take that away from me. Don't diminish my achievements. Isn't the only belt you can get when you start. How many tips do you have? Zilch. Isn't that the one they give you when you start?

Yeah. No, you get a white belt when you start and then you have to do a kata. And I did a kata and I did it well. Yeah, I know the lingo. It was six weeks, Shag. What do you need to get to your yellow belt? You do another kata.

You show new moves. You do it appropriately. But I didn't like the teacher, so I quit. That's why I quit. Not because I don't have commitment issues. Anyway, the phase I'm in at the moment is I think I can retire. I think I can put my feet up

because my one-year-old... That's going to affect me but okay. Let's have a discussion. Maybe I'll learn enough. I can look after you, your wife and your baby too. How good. Lucia's going to be one hell of an artist. And I think I can start selling her stuff. I didn't know on the notes app on your phone you can doodle.

Did you know there's a doodle function? Yeah, there's like a pen, I guess. And sometimes if she's being a bit much to handle, I'm happy to admit it. I will hand her my phone. Oh, you can just do all things. I will hand her my phone. It's not good. I know it's not good. Please don't message me.

I just need sometimes to change her nappy. I see. And the only thing that stops her wiggling. Hey, people can't judge. Everyone freaking does it. Leave me alone. But I will hand her my phone and I took it off her after. She's good with the phone.

When I babysat her for that one hour, which was obviously had an amazing job. Obviously. But she got into my phone. I mean, you woke her up into her nap. I maintain you obviously did something. I just shook her. She got into my phone, took selfies of herself,

and they were like very framed. Like they were good selfies. It's terrifying. Yeah. So of course she's unlocked features I didn't even know. And all these parents I talked to were like, yeah, my kid knows how to do X, Y, Z that I don't even know. And I've had the device for 10, 15 years.

But they just work it out. So I've taken the phone off her and I'm like, wait, what's this doodle? How has she done this? And then the closer I look, I've just sent it to you, Ducco. That is a work of art. She's basically drawn what I can see is Daddy. And she, that's Angus. And that's her wrapped around his legs. Like, don can see is Daddy. Oh, yes. And she, that's Angus.

Yeah, I see. And that's her wrapped around his legs. Like, don't go, Daddy, don't go. Like, he's about to leave for work. I see. And yes, all right, maybe it's a bit of... It's not you and she's wrapped around your legs? Maybe it's a bit...

Oh, no, I see. I see Angus in that one. See how long the head is? Yeah, oh, yeah. Angus got a long head. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Yeah.

But I just was like... What's the pointy nub thing out here? That's, that's, what's the, what's, is it Jackson Pollock where it's just like splatters? Yeah. That's her trying different styles. This is like a Picasso-esque. It's a Picasso-esque. It's just, yeah.

It's existential. Yeah. It's surrealism. That's what I'm looking for. Surrealism. Be honest though, because you've just sent us what looks like a bunch of squiggles on a line. It is a bunch of squiggles on a line, but you've got to look beyond.

It's like those paintings where you've got to unfocus your eyes to see the bigger picture. I know you're having fun, but how much did you look at this initially when she didn't go, that's not actually that bad? I did a lot. Yeah. Like, I know you're joking, but you're also wanting Shaga and I to go, that's actually pretty good. Why do you think I posted it on Instagram?

Because I wanted validation. Did you get any? Mate, a lot of mums have come to my house. Because I don't know what the artist level should be of a one-year-old. I don't know where they're at. Have you seen those elephants in Thailand that can hold a paintbrush in their trunk and paint pictures? Yeah, crazy.

This is this. She's practically an elephant. I would see why I can't sell. They sell the elephant portraits. To be fair, this is something I would do. Like, it's probably just up there with my fine motor skills. How dare you? Oh, sorry.

It's better than what I could do, is it? Yes. Because all I do is do a peen. So many peens. You just showed me. He's like, oh, look at the doodle function. You just figured out you could do that. You found it.

And the first thing you drew was a peen. The doodle function. Mum's proud of me. He's doodled. This is so profound. It's gone right over my head, writes Estelle. Wow. Emmy, she's always been destined for greatness.

Wow. Dom, I want one. How do I purchase? Lauren, immediately add to cart. You know what people are saying? Yeah. Get it done as a tattoo. Please, yes.

I don't hate that idea. Please, yes. Get it done as a tattoo. For sure. I've been trying to convince my husband to get a couple tat with me since the day we met. Yeah. I got his initials four months in. He is yet to reciprocate.

He's like, stage five. Hey man, he married me. Yeah, I know. Yeah, yeah. When he locked it in. But you please get that as a tat. Or can I suggest we get this printed off and we give this out to listeners as like a, as a supplement.

You know how we give away a fridge magnet after they play Shy Guy Dips? Remember the period of time we gave away your headshot? Signed headshot. Because I think it was COVID and we had no money. Nothing to give away. So that was the problem. You want to sign with quotes that I've misspelt. It was Grim Times.

No, I worked. You got a signed headshot of Ducko. I put quotes in, like, from little things, big things grow. I'd argue Lucia's artwork. She sued the thing. Yeah, yeah. Packing of biscuits, fridge magnet. Yeah, and Lucia's artwork. Industry super thing. Yeah, yeah. Packing of biscuits, fridge magnet. Yeah, and Lucia's artwork.

And an OG Lucia Harper. We'll have to get her to sign it, though. Yeah, get her to sign it. Yeah, for sure. That's maybe what the squiggle is. Oh, that. God, we love this game. No, it's fun.

Quiz Master Babs is going to give us a word. Shy Guy, Ducko and myself are going to attempt to sing a song that has that word as a part of its lyrics. It's got to be a real song. It's got to be a real song. And I think an element of this game is passion. Passion. It's energy.

Gusto. I don't want no lacklustre one lyric. No, no. And I'm not looking at you, Ducko. No, no. Shy guy. Hey. I want you to sing hard.

Because the boy knows songs. He does. But he's energy. So Babs is going to be pretty hard on that today, I think. Absolutely. No point for no gusto, Babs. Okay. I'm going to, yeah.

Okay. We're getting out of our chairs. Are we all standing for this? Okay. I'm standing because my seats were. The cameras are all going to be off. I'm standing because I want to win. Someone weed on Babs. Okay, I'm going to, yeah. Okay, we're getting out of our chairs. Are we all standing for this? Okay. I'm standing because my seat's wet. The cameras are all going to be off. I'm standing because I want to win. Someone weed on Babs' chair.

She sat down and went, why is it wet? I blamed Jordan, our new friend who's in from sales. Yeah, he's in from sales. Who can't defend himself. He's watching the show. Jordan came in and weed while we were in the ad break and then left. Like, I'm not really loving that. Really making his mark on the show.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now we'll never forget him. Good morning to his wife, Courtney. Yep. Told us she's a big fan. Courtney, your husband just mark on the show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now we'll never forget him. Good morning to his wife, Courtney. Yep. Told us she's a big fan. Courtney, your husband just weed on our chair. It's weird. Have a word.

Anyway, let's play the game. Okay. Oh, yeah, we're playing a game. First word. Shop. Shop? Candy shop. Let you lick the lollipop.

Don't you stop. Is there a girl star in that? The song has no girl star in it. I'll give you a point. What? I got to hear that. Let you lick lollipop. That was like.

It felt very librarian. You could tell Shy Guy was a white dude in that moment, couldn't you? Yes. I'm not going to deny that. I'd love to see him bump and grind to that song on the dance floor. Take you candy shop. Lollipop. Oh, girl, don't you stop.

Sure. You didn't even get to the whoa. What's the best part of the song? Oh, girl, girl, don't you stop. Whoa. Anyway, let's keep going. That was worth waiting for. Let's move on.

One point to Shy Guy. Thank you.'s keep going. That was worth waiting for. Let's move on. One point to Shy Guy. Thank you. Shouldn't be. The next word is fun. I used to be a fun house and I'm full of crazy clowns and I'm about to... The rest of the word.

Pink? Is that pink? That's pink. Love. Well done. Big pink fan. I haven't played pink in a while. No, we haven't.

Poor pink. She's not touring. Good one. One Pink in a while. No, we haven't. Poor Pink. She's not touring. Bah. Good one. One point to Ducker. Thanks, Babs. Okay, next word. Young.

Oh, young, dumb, so what we get. So what we smoke. We're just having fun. We don't care who sees. Good censoring. So what we grow up. That's how it's supposed to be. Living young and fun. That's how it's supposed to be Living young and free

That's how much we need. Yeah, I was going to say, you need to do that next show, right? Okay, One Point to Darko. I think that song's come up in this before. Twice. I think Young has come up before. Yeah, Young. Well, sorry.

No, no, it wasn't a criticism on you. No, it was. Okay, next word. Okay. One. One, it was. Okay, next word. Okay. One. One, two, three, four. Let me hear a scream if you want some more. Like, ah.

Push it, push it. Watch me work it. I'm perfect. That was like Saltburn. Yes, that was good. I don't know that one. I don't know that movie. I mean, I didn't watch that movie.

Oh, okay. What were you thinking? She said it's Saltburn? That was from Saltburn? Oh, yes, yes, yes. Okay. I know that's Sophie Ellis. Yeah, yeah. Better than Ants Fork? it's Saltburn. That was from Saltburn. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Okay. I didn't know that's Sophie Ellis.

Yeah, yeah. Better than Antford? Yeah, that one. Yeah, that one. Okay. All right, next word. Call. Call me maybe. Hey, I just met you.

And this is crazy. Damn it. Here's my number. Perfect one. So call me maybe. I was thinking, I'm on call. Be there. Oh, I love that song.

I thought you would. That's Kings of Leon. Do I get extra points if you like the song? No. Oh, I love that song. I thought you would. That's Kings of Leon. Do I get extra points if you like the song? No. That's a separate scoreboard. So what's the score? Is it two Jess, two me, one Shy Guy? Yeah, one Shy Guy.

Because Shy Guy's microphone's not working again. Everyone shut up. Everyone shut up. All right, next word. Hello. Hello. It's me you're looking for. That was pretty even.

That was pretty even. That was pretty even. That was pretty good. All right. Tie then. One to Jess, one to Shy Guy. So Jess is winning by one point. Okay. How many do we have left?

Well, however many you want. Okay. I feel like. I mean, it's 7.34. Let's wrap it up at some point. I feel like two left maybe. Two, okay. You know what we should have done?

Let Jordan play. It's a real baptism of fire. All right. Next word. Sing. Okay. You know what we should have done? Let Jordan play. It's a real baptism of fire. All right. Next word. Sing. Sing. Sing. Oh.

What's that? Sing. That's not enough. That's not the lyric. No, it's not enough. Ed Sheeran. Oh, I don't know anymore of the song. Sing.

Sing. Come on. Louder. Do I get it? That was the same amount. Point to Shaga, I guess. Thank you. Is that me?

Am I out of it now? No, Duckers, you're out. I'm out of it, yeah. Sorry. Damn. Okay, all right. You're the politest quiz master. All right, is this for the win?

This is for the win. Last word for the win. Oh, God. Come on. The word is star. I'm a star boy. I think that's come up before in this game too. Damn it.

All right. We're back. Shy Guys won again. Thank you guys. I mean, Ducko won last week. Yeah, thanks, Shane. But still, I won the week before. I don't like it when Shy Guy wins.

I know, it sucks. When he wins, we lose. It's just the lack of gusto for me. Yeah, 50 cent candy shots all around. Jess and Ducko. I was driving Lucia to swimming lessons yesterday, Ducko, and I was on this stretch of road. You mean the artist can swim as well?

The artist can swim. She is. Talented. She sucks in the pool, though, bro. It's embarrassing. I thought I had a little Ariane on my hands, and she can't keep her giant head. She can't, yeah.

She keeps... She just sinks. She's going head yeah. She keeps... She just sinks. She's going head down. She's got floaties and the bubble floaty on her back and all she does is dip her head. I look like the worst mum because I keep testing her, being like, I'm going to let go and just straight in. When do they come up to you and go, so she's not a natural? And I'm friends with the instructor and she's like, she's really going backwards, isn't

she? Oh, no. Well, your husband's not a really going backwards, isn't she? Oh, no. Well, your husband's not a great swimmer. Isn't he? Well, he hates the beach. There's so many baths. I think he can swim. Yeah, I think he can swim.

Yeah. But he just like doesn't like swimming. Well, I mean, you know what's funny? I don't actually know how to answer that question. I think he does. Have you ever seen him swim? I don't. Not do laps.

Maybe he had to do laps for his rehab. I'm not a great swimmer either. I like swimming though. I'm not a good swimmer. You know what? You've really stumbled. I don't know if he is or isn't. There you go.

Have you spent more time with him at pools? No, but Sean goes right. He likes baths. He's a bath guy. He likes safety swimming. Exactly. And you know, the water's only up. We're not allowed to talk about him in the bath anymore.

Stop it. No bath. No bath. Anyway, she sucks in the pool. We might have to quit because it's just too embarrassing. But I'm driving to swimming yesterday and I'm behind a work van and it gave me an idea to finish this sentence. Everyone needs a dot, dot, dot.

Because the work van I was behind for about 15 minutes was, everyone needs a Dave. And that was the company. That was just the dude. Literally, it was the dude. I'm guessing he's a handyman. It was like DCB. And that was the company. That was just the dude. Literally, it was the dude. I'm guessing he's a handyman. It was like DCB. Like hire a hubby.

Hire a hubby vibe. And it was like, everyone needs a Dave. And I went, what a great bloody slogan. Great marketing campaign. For just you as a person. Everyone needs a Dave. Dave's going to get the job done. That's what the job is.

Shoulder to cry on. Shop. You know? Mate, Dave's there for whatever capacity you need. He can fix the tile on your roof. He's going to fix the wonky air conditioning system. Could probably do some weeding. Everyone needs Dave.

Dave's doing everything. Dave's doing everything. He's an all-rounder. Yeah. Good morning to you if you're Dave. Yeah. But it made me go, you know who everyone needs? Yeah.

A Lauren. Lauren's my girlfriend. Yeah. Lauren just got a pool installed and we went to her pool the other day and she said one of the great sentences. Yeah. Come round any time in summer. Oh, yeah.

I'll take you up on that, Lauren. Grand spank. And she's a new mum, so she's got a bit of time. She's like not at work. She goes, I know you. She's like, don't bring Lucia, though. She can't swim. She sucks.

It's embarrassing. She goes, I don't want an incident in my pool. We don't have insurance. You can come. Lucia and Angus have to stay at home. Everyone needs a Lauren. Someone with a pool who is very, very generous with their invitations. We've made a weekly appointment to go to Lauren's house. Good. Very kind.

You remember one of our lunches we did where someone said to me, this is my shy guy. And he looks at me and goes, everyone needs a shy guy. And I was like, that's right. Everyone needs a shy guy. And he looks at me and goes, everyone needs a shy guy. And I was like. That's right. Everyone needs a shy guy. That's right.

It was like her mate. It was like her mate who she just dragged along, who was just there, who was just like quiet and just went along with it. Yes, it's like your perpetual plus one. Yes. Yes, that's shy guy. He'll come with you to stuff. Candy shop.

Let you lick the lollipop. He'll do it. He'll be there. You need to go to a wake. You don't want to go on your own? Choco will be the guy for a wake. Everyone needs a shy guy because he already looks like he's going to a funeral. So grim.

Never smiles. When was the last time you smiled? You're acting like I dress like I go to a wake. No, I meant your energy. Just your general face. Do you have something, Daco? You get what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah.

Everyone needs a... Everyone needs an Abby or an older sister because they buy your parents Christmas presents and you just transfer them. Every year I'm like, oh, I swear I'm going to do it this year. No, every year she takes care of it. I don't even know what I'm getting them. But you know, your name will go on the card. You'll transfer your sister and you get equal share of the gratitude when your parents open

a great gift. Exactly. Everyone needs an Abbey. I'm an Abbey. Yeah, you are. You're the older sister your parents open a great gift. Everyone needs an Abby. I'm an Abby. Yeah, you are. You're the older sister. You're an older sister. Absolutely.

Shaga, are you picking up what we're putting down? Everyone needs a... I get what you're doing, but I don't have an example. There's the funeral thing again. Babs, help me out. You could have said me. Everyone needs a Babs. Oh, like Batman and Robin. Everyone needs a sidekick. Everyone needs a Babs, help me out. No, you could have said me. Everyone needs a Babs. Oh, like Batman and Robin.

There you go. Everyone needs a sidekick. Everyone needs a Babs. And Babs, do you get it? Have you got an example you'd like to share? Say me. Well, I would have said Shy Guy, but I'm not now. Fair, fair, very fair.

13, 10, 60. If you get it, you get it. You get it. Let's have some fun. Everyone needs a Dave. Oh, yeah. Everyone needs an Abby. Everyone needs a Lauren. Everyone needs a Dave. Oh, yeah. Everyone needs an Abby. Yeah.

Everyone needs a Lauren. Everyone needs a Lauren. Now it's heating up. Who do you need? Why do you need them? 13, 10, 60. We'll get you on there. Jess and Ducko.

I was driving behind a work van yesterday and it said, everyone needs a Dave. Dave. And I just thought that was a great slogan. Dave to me. Now I think, Dave must be really capable. Yeah. Anything I need, Dave can do. You'll think of that now.

When you need something, you go, Dave could probably do this. Dave could probably do it. And then I'll try and Google him and be like, Dave? Which one's Dave? Which number is Dave's? But it made me think everyone needs a Lauren. Lauren's my friend who just got a pool installed and said the sentence, come over anytime. It's heating up, baby. I said everyone needs an older sister. Everyone needs an Abby. Because they organise the Christmas presents for your parents or the birthday presents every year and then you just transfer them.

Someone's commented on the Jess and Ducko Instagram. Yeah. Everyone needs a Jess to take control of the ordering at the group dinner. Depends on the dinner. Absolutely. Actually, Morgan and I, when we had Chinese that night, we walked out of the restaurant because it was ridiculously expensive. We were like, Morgan's like, I wish Jess was just here and she could just take control

of the situation. Because we're like, what do we want? I don't know. I don't know what any of these are. In those moments, your opinion doesn't matter. Just let me take care of it and everyone will be happier and we'll get out faster. We'll get out quicker. Because we'll make the decision.

Scary for new people, but you know, it's a well-oiled machine for old. Angus had a Christmas team dinner yesterday with his work crew. Wasn't invited. Rude. Well, I was at book club. But he messaged and said, I don't know if he's trying to make me feel better after I cracked it at him for getting home so late. He goes, everyone's asking, which Jess was here so we would know what to order.

And I was like, don't try and suck up now. That makes me feel worse. It does. But let's go to Liliana. Good morning, Liliana. Good morning. Everyone needs a Lala. And guess what?

That's me. Your Lala. Why does everyone needs a Lala. And guess what? That's me. Your Lala. Why does everyone need a Lala? Because I'm the oldest sister. I've got two younger brothers. My youngest brother, Brooklyn, when he was born, my name is actually Liliana, but he couldn't pronounce that. So he said Lala. And we stuck with that forever.

So now we've got Lala, Lala, Lala. Lala, Lala, Lala. Do you want this Lala? Do you want that Lala? Can I have help with this Lala? Can I have help with this Lala? Take, take, take from Lala. Lala is running the show.

Lala is steering the ship. Thank God for Lala. Everyone needs a Lala. Everyone needs a Lala. Good on you, Lala. Thank you, Lala. Thanks for calling in, Lala. Lala's the only one who was for Lala. Everyone needs a Lala. Everyone needs a Lala. Good on you, Lala. Thank you, Lala. Thanks for calling in, Lala. Lala's the only one who was picking up what I was putting down,

so thanks for that. She wanted to call through and say everyone needs her. That's right. Everyone needs me. I wish I had that confidence at nine. That's amazing. She's got to be a prime minister one day. You'll hear Lala on this very show in a decade.

I think so. I think so. I think so. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Jess and Ducko's 10K Alphabucks on it. Let's make it rain. 30 seconds, 10 questions, all starting with the same letter. Have to take your first answer. Can't use the same answer twice. And if you're unsure of the question, just say pass.

We come back, of course, if there is time. You're playing for 10K or 1K. The choice today is yours. Caleb, good morning. Hey, how's it going? Mate, we're fantastic. Caleb, what are you going to choose to play with? The grown-ups' questions or the kids' questions?

I always said if I get through, I'd go the grown-ups' questions. So we'll go for the 10K. He's got his big boy pants on. He wants to do it. He's not mucking around. He goes, I got one shot, one opportunity. Yeah. Come on, Caleb.

Are your knees weak, arms spaghetti? Arms are heavy. Are your arms heavy, legs spaghetti? Vomit on your sweater like mum's spaghetti. Okay. Are you feeling good, Caleb? Are you nervous on your surface? You look calm and ready.

Yeah. Are you calm and ready? I'm calm now. When you idiots shut up, I'm calm and ready. What do you want to spend 10 grand on? Me and my wife actually got married about a year and a half ago, and we haven't gone on a honeymoon, so it'd be nice to grab something like that. Honeymoon, $10,000, where would you go?

Oh, yeah, where would you go, $10,000? Oh, who knows? My wife's actually from New Zealand, so we could possibly go back there. Oh, I love that. I do love New Zealand. Okay. Caleb, we're going to the top of the alphabet for you, brother. You're going to play with the letter A.

Nice. Okay. Okay. We've got a cool customer here. He's dialed in. He's dialed in. Your time will start. You know what?

His motivation is love. Taking his lady somewhere nice. And love always wins. Love always wins. Well, let's find out in 30 seconds. Love actually is all around. What a crap movie. Thanks so much.

Caleb, you ready? Yeah, ready. He's been ready for a while. Have I asked that, you ready? Yeah, yeah, ready. He's been ready for a while. Have I asked that three times already? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you ready to play though, Jess? Am I? Get it together.

Get it together. Okay, okay, we're ready. Caleb, starting with the letter A, we need you to name a clothing brand. Apex. A piece of furniture. A pass. A Disney movie. Apex. A piece of furniture. A pass. A Disney movie. Aerial.

Something you see at the snow. A pass. A condiment. A pass. A technology brand. Apple. A car brand. A pass.

A vegetable. Asparagus. Acoustic guitar. Australia. A piece. Well, you got yourself five, to be fair, and we came home with a bit of a wet sail. Yeah, picked up some steam.

Picked up some steam at the end there. Couldn't award you Disney movie. You said Ariel. I don't believe that's the movie. The movie's A Little Mermaid. Oh, yeah, it is. Yeah. I had to check with my Disney correspondent, which is Jess.

On the fly, too. On the fly. She goes, not a movie. Not a movie. Well, I gave you the eyes, but not a movie. You gave me eyes. A piece of furniture could have been an armchair. A Disney movie could have been A Bug's Life, Aladdin.

There's a few. How good's A Bug's Life? A Bug's Life's one of the great movies. Ah, fantastic. Something you see at the snow could have been Alps or an avalanche. Wouldn't want to see that, though. A condiment could have been aioli or applesauce. And a car brand, Audi.

Das Auto. You don't go anti-handed, though. $100 suspended. Active truth. That's all yours. That's Volkswagen. Is it? Well done, Caleb.

All right, thank you. You can hold your head up high. Jeez, I really thought Audi. Volkswagen. Oh, Volkswagen. Volkswagen own Audi, so there you go. Do they own Audi? Yeah, they own everything pretty much. Do they? Mate, I really thought Volkswagen owned Audi. Do they own Audi? Yeah, they own everything pretty much.

Do they? Mate, I'm a Ford guy. You're so obsessed with golf that you've just mixed it in, you know, Volkswagen Golf, so you're like, I'm just going to

crowbar it in anywhere I can. That's what I've done. That's what you've done. I thought I was so clever getting in the car slogan. Oh no.

Nah. Jess and Ducco. Very exciting times in the studio. Oh, my God. We've got a dinner and a show. We've got men hanging from the roof cleaning the windows right outside us. I'm going to say it. Hot men.

Are you saying hot? Well, this guy looks like Javier Bardem. Is he hot, though, or is he probably a soft six, but because he's doing a pretty cool job, you think he's hotter? Well, do you know what? I think this leads perfectly to the question you're about to ask. Oh, yeah. Ask it.

Oh, yeah. 13, 10, 60. What makes you feel powerful? When you have a kind of dangerous job. Yeah, true. Don't you reckon? True. Because the whole vibe is like window cleaner, which you wouldn't think.

What do you mean dangerous? This guy is hanging seven stories up just with a bit of rope. That's hot. He's got his airpods in. I hope he's listening. He's listening. He might be on delay. Yeah, yeah. Look at this guy. Is the other guy hot though? He's a bit of rope. That's hot. He's got his AirPods in. I hope he's listening. He's listening. He might be on delay. Look at this guy.

Is the other guy hot though? He's a bit less attractive. I don't mind him. But again, I think you're attracted to what they're doing. Is it the uniform? Am I blinded by the danger?

Is it the ropes? I think it's the rock climbing helmets. I'll post him on our Instagram story as well. You can see he kind of looks like heavy about them. I agree. Yeah. No, I mean,

they're dialed in though. It's giving eat, pray, love. It is. They don't have any idea what we're doing. I agree. Yeah. No, I mean, they're dialed in, though. It's giving eat, pray, love. It is. They don't have any idea what we're doing. I want to do a podcast. Yeah, who are these two in there? No, he knows. He waved and smiled a minute before.

He waved. He knows. But we are asking the question, 131060, what makes you feel powerful? Why are we talking about this stuff, mate? Well, there's been a new study done that says people who hold coffee cups, like takeaway coffee cups, they don't just go now for the coffee and for the taste and the ritual of coffee. It's because it gives them a sense of empowerment. Holding a coffee cup?

In public. Walking with a takeaway coffee cup in public specifically makes you feel apparently powerful. Has it given specifics on the keep cup versus just the paper one? You know sometimes you can bring your own mug? Yes. They said that doesn't do it, and that's why people don't do it. The Keep Cup, less so. It's the actual cardboard takeaway coffee cup.

Oh, the landfill coffee cup? Yes, yes, yes. Okay. So a psychologist came out and routine-based co-founder Aristola Paredes, and she told Metro.UK, carrying the cup of coffee isn't just about getting a caffeine fix. It is a view. It taps into our goals and the way we want society to see us.

Oh, see, this is like the dangerous job vibe. Yes. It's how you're perceived. So true. So it makes me feel. Like our window cleaner. He could get scared in comedy movies, but he looks like a badass right now. Adam Sandler is his biggest nightmare.

Oh, Happy Gilmore? Oh, jeez. What a film. Yeah, I can't. So it's about what it represents. So it symbolises a busy, purpose-filled lifestyle. It's the simple act of walking down a street with a branded coffee cup, projects an image of being engaged, productive, and

on the move. Do you know what's funny? In a similar regard, when I order a long black, which genuinely is my coffee order. I'm not doing it for show. I'm not a big milk drinker. Yeah, yeah, yeah. God, I feel powerful. You do, because it's like, oh, she's a coffee drinker. Particularly my husband, skim cappuccino. What a loser.

So when I order, and the number of times I want to put a flag out to every waiter who's ever brought our coffees to the table, they put the skim cappuccino in front of me. Don't you be assuming just because I'm the fair maiden, I drink the piss-wheat coffee. Because I drink long blacks as well, and they always come to me if I'm with Morgan. They put the black coffee in front of you. Yeah, that's funny, isn't it? There is a real gender bias.

If you and me went to a bar and I ordered a rosé and you ordered the beer, that would bring me the beer. There is real stigma based on who would order what, but ordering a black coffee... That gets you. I walk a little taller. Oh, yeah. And I feel powerful. And I always get a nod from the barista.

I think like, I respect you. I respect you. You're not diluting with soy or gorgonid macadamia. You just like the taste. Amen. I mean, I can't go past drilling a reverse park in front of a busy space at a cafe. Can't relate. I think you could.

I've got another one as well. I can imagine it would make you feel. So good. Real could. I've got another one as well. I can imagine it would make you feel. So good. Real good. I've got another one. No one can see me do this, but I feel powerful when I do this. And you know what? At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

It's a bit gross, but I'm going to say it anyway. I'll, you know, put my PG 820 hat on. When I go to the toilet and do number two and only have one wipe. That is good gut health, baby. That is like, I go out and tell my wife. Honey, come and look at this. Wow. Showing her the paper.

And it's rare for me. It's rare. Babs has never had it, but it's rare for me. Babs can't relate. Shy guy? Yeah. When you're at like Woolworths or Coles and you're in the line, but then someone comes, oh, I'll serve you over here.

Oh, and they direct you up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they come to me. Yeah. And you get here. Oh, and they direct you up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They come to me. Yeah, and you get picked. You get selected. Because how bad is it when they open another checkout and they go, who's next? Yeah.

And it's all that awkward. Babs said, I've got one. Should we go quickly to Babs? Yeah, mine's when you're behind someone that's driving really slow and then they go to turn off. So then you put your foot down and go like, meow, straight past them. Do you make that sound too in your Beatles? Yeah.

Meow. Bye, loser. See you later. Eat my dust. Scott's called through. We'll go quickly to Scott. Hi, Scott. Hey, how you going, guys?

How are you? Oh, we're so good. What makes you feel powerful? When I'm walking around my high-vis work shirt doing nothing on the construction site. I would actually feel elite. Scott, are you like the foreman or in a level of authority? Yeah, I'm actually doing it right now. Yes.

I'm calling the radio station. It's like having a clipboard at places. That guy's good. I'm not going to turn the construction company a workforce, so we'll just leave it at that. Yeah, we'll leave it there. We'll leave it there. That's a good one.

13, 10, 60. What makes you feel powerful? What makes you feel powerful? Those everyday things where you go, yeah. Give us a call. Jess and Ducco. Jess and Ducco. We're asking on 13, 10, 60.

What makes you feel powerful? A new study has been done and research has come out and a psychologist has revealed that walking and carrying a cup of takeaway coffee from your favorite cafe or whatever, but walking with it, isn't just about getting the caffeine fix. It represents busy, purposeful lifestyle. It makes you look powerful. It makes you look like you've got somewhere to be. Absolutely. We just heard from Scott who said, walking around the job site wearing my high Vs. That's a brilliant one.

Not necessarily doing anything, but he's, I'm clearly in charge. Those guys used to get into festivals just by carrying a ladder and having high Vs. People just let you in. Makes you feel powerful. We go to 11-year-old Noah. Good morning, Noah. Good morning. What makes you feel powerful?

When the teacher picks me to do something in class or out of class. What is she picking you for? Yeah, like what? Taking the computers back to where they're meant to be. Oh, because you know why? You're responsible. He's got the trust. Oh, taking the computers back to where they're meant to be. Oh, because you know what? You're responsible. He's got the trust. Oh, yeah.

I'm the only one you need. And then you get to go and wag for like 10 minutes. It was a long trip, Miz. That's right. Oh, no, Noah would never abuse his power. No, he would never do that. Thank you, Noah. Melania, good morning.

Good morning. What makes you feel powerful? I think it has to be hands down when you get an email and this person goes to the effort of CCing your manager and you can prove that you sent an email with the per the attach line. As per attachment. That is right. That tried to get you in trouble, but Melania has dotted her eyes.

She's crossed her teeth. Hey, just looping in the boss here. I couldn't see it. Hey, Julie, as per attached. Oh, I love that. Hope this finds you well. All that corporate office email. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Please tell me, Mel, you hit it with warm regards. I always hit him with the best. Oh, she likes a best, Melania. Brilliant. That's a good one. Nikita, what makes you feel powerful? Putting the kids to bed with the best. Oh, she likes her best. Melania. Brilliant. That's a good one. Nikita, what makes you feel powerful? Putting the kids to bed with no issues. That's a good day.

I'd imagine that's a sweet day. That's a good night. Yeah, that's a great night. It sure is. You just feel elite. Particularly, Nikita, I imagine nothing's gone right for you that day, but then at the last hour, all the stars align for you. Yep, definitely.

We go to Ash on 131060. Ash, what makes you feel powerful? So I run a sole trader business, so usually I work on my own, but occasionally I get a huge event and then I have to rope some friends in and that's when I realise I'm the boss. Oh, I love that. You're in my world now, friends. Welcome to it, strap in. You're in my house now, friends. Welcome to it, Strap In.

You're in my house now. Even that's, you get that too, Ducker. Obviously, radio is a very, it's a niche industry. So a lot of people have a lot of questions and their eyes are like, so the time you wake up and how does it work? Do you control this? And what's the celebrities you've interviewed? Who's the best interview?

How much do you get paid? Don't worry about it. Tomo, good morning. Good morning, guys. How are you? Good, Tomo. Tomo would have a few things, I reckon. Yeah, what makes you feel powerful?

I'm the king because I know and can change the password to the Wi-Fi and to Netflix. King of the household. That's a good one. Watch me, baby, or lose the privilege. That's a great one. Yeah, That's a good one. Watch me, baby, or lose the privilege. That's a great one. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

That's a good one. The person who holds the passwords holds the keys. You know what another one is? When people are watching you and you've got the remote and you're on Netflix trying to find something and you type it really fast. Yes, yes. And you do it well. Yes. It's like, oh, you've surfed that remote well.

I remember watching my mum type when I was growing up thinking, look at the speed. The touch typing. Oh my God. Now I watch her type, I went, when did you ever think you were speedy? Index fingers just pointing. We've got Emily on 13, 10, 60 and what makes you feel powerful? Good morning, guys. I think the best feeling in the world

is when you have like a piece of rubbish or a piece of paper and you throw it from across the room and it lands in the bin. Emily's COVID. COVID! COVID! Literally the amount of height that I feel like I grow after doing that, I feel like Shaquille O'Neal.

I love that. And Em, can I just ask, are you not particularly good at throwing or sports in general? So when you do that, it's like, hell yeah. No, not necessarily. Especially now that I'm a mum and when you do it in front of the kids. My mum's got game. She's cool. Hell yeah. No, not necessarily. Especially now that I'm a mum and when you do it in front of the kids. Oh, yeah, the kids. My mum's got game.

She's cool. Kylie on 131060, wrap us up here. What makes you feel powerful? Hi, guys. How are you? Excellent, Kylie. When you work in retail and they ask to speak to the manager and you are the manager.

Taking down a Karen must make you feel on top of the world. That would be. I've never even thought about that. That would be a great feeling. I am the end of the line, sis. I am the manager. The look on their face must be like, oh, no. Yeah, they don't.

They tend to not argue anymore when you turn around and tell them you're the manager. Do you do that thing? I've seen it on, like, socials where people go, oh, yep, I'll go get the manager and they just do a 360. Hi, how can I help you? So 20 weeks pregnant now, pretty much on Monday, Morgan is. Halfway. Yeah, that's wild, isn't it?

That's quite monumental. Yeah. Yeah. Everyone says that. I've been very much taking it one week at a time, except for going to baby bunting and working out how much you need and what you need. Yeah. That's probably something you should do because when that comes as a shock, once the baby's

here, it's like, oh, we should have had this done. Yes. So it's not all happening. We're in that phase right now where it's like, not only are we like nesting, trying to get the house right and do things and you're looking at how much space you don't have and what you can do for storage and this and that. Ikea are going to be your best friend. I know.

It's also the time of year we picked to get our family or Morgan's family here for Christmas. So we're trying to prepare for that as well. And I just know December and January are going to fly by. Absolutely. You're going to blink and it'll be, I've got to set my alarm for work. Yeah. Yeah. And then it's going to be Feb and then baby's due in April.

And you know, like, oh geez, I really should have fixed that fan. I should have done that. Yes. But we are in that stage now. I think I've spoke about it a bit yesterday. I went to the gig, went to see Glass Animals in Sydney. We're in that stage where we're like, let's do as much as we can within reason until, you know, before our life changes. Before baby comes. It's pretty funny to think this will be the last

time we do X Just Us. Like this will be your last Christmas. Exactly. Without a child. Like we said earlier, it's the last time we put up the Christmas tree together. It's the last time we do this. And her birthday's in Feb? Yes. Yeah, it'll be her last birthday. Yeah, true. You know, these sort of things where you just start stopping down going, wow, everything. It's the last. Yeah.

And we're pretty good at making the most of the lasts and just enjoying it. But I realised, and I only realised this because Rice Cookers all have, like, kept in touch on, like, social media and listening and stuff like that and seen it, but I realised our baby, our unborn child, little girl, she has already been to three concerts. Three? What was that? Glass Animals, obviously.

So we went to Glass Animals in Sydney. Oh, Rufus. Went to Glass Animals in Sydney, then went to Rufus. Yes. And then Xavier Rudd. Oh, my God, you went to Xavier Rudd. That was your first. She's had a real eclectic mix.

Hang on, so Xavier was her first concert. Xavier was her first concert. Everyone remembers their first concert. I mean, mine was Metro Station. Your baby went to Xavier Rudd. That was your first. She's had a real neglected mix. Hang on, so Xavier was her first concert. Xavier was her first concert. Everyone remembers their first concert. I mean, mine was Metro Station. Your baby's in Xavier Rudd. Mine was Guy Sebastian. It actually was. You got Angels Brought Me Here.

I did. Wow. It was straight after season one of Oz Idol. So she's now been to three different concerts, and Morgan has danced at all three of them. Yes. She's going to come out dancing, your little girl. She is. I wonder what naturally she'll gravitate towards. I've had lots of's going to come out dancing, your little girl. She is. But to what?

I wonder what naturally she'll gravitate towards. I've had lots of people message being like, wow, this is great. Are you like, you know, because they say they can start hearing things now? Absolutely. Particularly, I think even a bit earlier than 20 weeks. But there's a big thing about the connection once she's out. Yeah. If you put that music on, there are so many videos online of the kid reacting.

Reacting to it. Positively. Yeah. Maybe to calm them down if they're distressed or crying or whatever. It's almost like, I've known this since before I was born. Maybe she'll do that with Rufus. Could you imagine that would be for me? That would be good for you. You could just constantly have Rufus on in the house. It would be no different.

But yeah, I was just funny. No lullabies in your house. We're going to sleep with the dulcet sounds of Rufus. And then I got the dark messages, Jess. I got a couple of parents who messaged me being like, wow, your daughter's already been to three concerts. That's more than I've been to since I've had my kids. Good luck.

Enjoy it while you can. To be fair, as we talk about preparing, you've got to get your head around that, brother. You've got to get your head around that. But I also want to be one of those people who brings a child to a concert and has the big earmuffs. I can't wait for you to start doing those videos that every parent eventually does, being like,

I can't believe the stuff I said before I had the kid. Yes, the headphones work and all that. It wouldn't be tough. Once you've got to start packing that bag and the sleeping and all that crap. Imagine bringing your child to Rufus. It's on the cusp of being like, should that child be here?

Are you qualified? I took Lucia to like, not a rave, but it was a DJ spectacular. Yes. And she had the headphones on. That's right. And half the people there were like, look at the rave, baby. Yeah, yeah. And then you just, not that it matters what anyone else thinks, but you just start seeing

the eyes from some other people being like, it's really loud in here. That feels irresponsible. You go, shut up. I'm just trying to live my best life. So it's a balancing act. It's a fine balance. It's a tight run. But hey, she's got a-

And you'll know what's best for your little girl. Thank you. No one else. Thank you. And if Rufus is what's best for your little girl. Thank you. No one else. Thank you. And if Rufus is what's best for her, then she's going to the concert in 2025. Thank you. It's a Thursday. We've had amazing contributions from the rice cookers today.

Such good ones. We asked in the depths of the morning, the sun had barely risen. Have you been attacked by a tick? Yeah, tick stories go. Tick stories. And they just got better and better and better. I just cannot believe how many people, people aren't talking about it enough, Ducco. We've got to remove the taboo.

Yep. Remove the stigma. Yep. Tick on the berries. Tick on the, so many. Getting the sister on your 21-year-old berries. Getting mum, who refuses to put her spectacles on to get up in there. I prefer mum than my sister, if I'm being honest.

Yeah, well, because mum made that thing. Exactly. You know what I mean? Exactly. And she's going to love you no matter what. Your sister, that's almost getting into some weird, you know. Hey, but you know what I say to that sister? Good on you.

Because in your brother's time of need, because she said the rest of the family was there. They just backed away. Didn't ask if the parents were there. But everyone backed away. Uncle Trevor was keen to do it, and she was like, no. Brent is there screaming, me berries, me berries, and Christine, the sister, the only one to step up. She pulled out the tweezers and went, I'll do it.

I'll be here for you, bro. Yep. And now she gets really good Christmas presents from him. Exactly. If you missed any of that, get it where you get your podcasts or on Listener. Fantastic. Fantastic contributions.

Truly. Truly. Thank you, everyone, for being so vulnerable and open with us. We love that. Been a good show. As we said, you can get it on listen on tomorrow, though, Friday. We've got Shy Guy's Diary. A look back at the week that was.

How's he going to fit it all in? How are you going to fit it all in? Oh, there's just been so much to look back on. Can you fit it all in? Yeah, I'll fit it in. Okay. Sweet. Don't doubt me, guys, he says.

Yeah, it'll be easy. It'll be fine. Yeah. Oh, we had one of the great sing-alongs with Shy Guy. Didn't we? Didn't he go so well today singing along? That won't be in there. What do you mean?

Candy shop, let you lick the lollipop. That's not going to be in there. What do you mean? You sing at 50 cents. I can't set myself up in my diary. If you close your eyes, is this 50 or Shy Guy? Candy shop, let you lick the lollipop. That's 25 cents right there.

Have you got shrapnel in your tongue too? Oh, yeah. You've been shot. Your voice got pain in it. Is that a thing? Yeah. We've talked about that so many times. Yeah, in his mouth.

Yeah, yeah. Get Rich or Die trying. Watch that film. One of the greats. I like 50. He has to learn how to rap again after having his mouth rewired. And that's why he sort of like mumbles now. Yeah. Because his voice has pain in it. I's why he sort of like mumbles now. Yeah.

Because his voice has pain in it. I see. I'm watching a show called Power. It's really good. Are you right? I was about to say, isn't he involved in that? He's like season five of that. Yeah, yeah.

Massive 50 cent fan over here. Yeah. Well, I mean 25 cent. 25 cent over here. 25 cent. Yeah, yeah. So we've got that tomorrow. We've got Alpha Fox Choice.

Your chance of 10K or 1K back on the show. We've got an eight today. We got close. That's 1K back on the show. We've got an 8 today. We got close. That's pretty good. Yeah, we haven't had very good ones lately, so an 8 felt strong. Oh, we had a first. We had a pivot, a live pivot. Locked in 10K and then went, I changed my mind, can I do the kids?

Where do we stand on that? Are we allowing that? You know? I don't like it. I didn't think you would. Do you think once they tell Babs, you're done? Well, I just feel like... I think so.

I think Babs goes for the fine-tooth comb. Because I think we've been giving people the illusion that we're asking them for the first time. Yeah, Babs asked. When really, Babs does ask, just to get an idea. We've got to get the right sheet in front of us. So should we just be coming out saying, you've chosen 10K?

You've selected 10K here. Oh, it changes what we do. Yeah, okay. Because why ask them? Yeah, yeah. If we're locking them in. Juliet says here you want 10K. Is that correct it changed what we do. Yeah, okay. Because why ask? Yeah, yeah. If we're locking them in. Julie says here you want 10K. Is that correct?

See, I reckon you're not done until it starts. Yeah. Anyway, we'll see how we go. So we go. It's the first time. Shaga and Babs are both teaming each other right now. They don't like this. That's right.

Yeah, yeah. Sending messages. Oh, God forbid they have to do a bit of extra work. Yeah. Sorry. And how are you going out there, Babs? You had a good show? Yeah, I've had fun. Babs had someone shadowing her the entire time. That's right. Yeah, yeah. I hope you you going out there, Babs? Have you had a good show? Yeah, I've had fun.

Babs had someone shadowing her the entire time. That's right. Yeah, yeah. I hope you sat up a bit straighter, you know? Yeah, answer the phone for a while. You and Shy Guy weren't sending each other naughty pics like you usually do? We don't do that. Don't say that.

That's like siblings sending each other nudes. That was a weird energy. Yeah, that is a bit weird. Hey, maybe I'm in the headspace of the sister who had to help the brother. Yeah, maybe. Or your family did some weird things. Babs, if Shy Guy needed you. Oh, this is a good one.

If Shy Guy needed you. No. You'd let a tick burrow into him. Come on, Babs. You're the only person around. The only person around. It's just you two. You're in the office on a Thursday.

No one else is here. A tick's gotten in. On his berries. Yeah, yeah. Would I get it out? Jethro would understand. I just feel like that would be the most awkwardest thing ever. I think so.

I feel like I would be giggling and Shy Guy would be like, just do it, just do it, it's fun. Shy Guy would look down at you and while you're down there, he'd go, I'm the Shy Guy. Matt. Yeah. He'd sing to her to make everything more comfortable. Candy shop, let you lick the lollipop. Oh shop. Let you lick the lollipop.

Oh, don't say lick the lollipop. What do you say to this, Shaga? I'll take my chances. The tick is now my friend. The tick is now a part of me. Hey, we should use this opportunity to give Babs' boyfriend and his band a shout out. We should. Yeah.

We should. Give them a vote. Come on, Babs. Tell us what's going on with the Cheeks and the Rolling Sets Festival coming up. I don't know if it's over now, though. Is it over? Possibly at one. It was a vote to get Babs' boyfriend's band.

What kind of girlfriend are you? You should know this stuff. Anyway, if it is two minutes, go onto Instagram to Rolling Sets and vote for the Cheeks so they can play at the festival. Yeah. What a pump up, Babs. Well done. Oh, Simone, your mum just followed me on Instagram.

Oh, hello, Simone and Damo. It's because we were just talking about Shark. Guys, it's so close. The Cheeks is 45%. It's a young local band trying to do cool things. I know. And it had a fun local festival. It would mean a lot to them.

Festivals are a dying breed now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So come on. It would mean so much to them. So just give it. It's an Instagram vote on a poll. It takes two seconds. Two seconds.

Go and vote for the Cheeks. I bet your shy guy hasn't done it. If you vote for the Cheeks. Two seconds. Go and vote for the Cheeks. I bet your shy guy hasn't done it. If you vote for the Cheeks. Excuse me. If you vote for the Cheeks and the Cheeks win, we'll get them in to do a live song. Of Candy Shop. Yes. With shy guy.

Yeah, Bart. On Backup Vocals. Lock that in. Bart, lock that in. All right. Yes. See, it writes itself. It does.

Radio. We're out of here. Mr. Grab the Podcast. We will see you tomorrow.. It does. Radio. We're out of here. Mr. Grab the Podcast. We will see you tomorrow. Bye-bye. Bye. Had like a little lump on his peenie and I'm going, oh, you'll be right.

You've just been bitten by something, you know, la, la, la. Jess and Ducko. That was the Jess and Ducko Podcast. The topping up flavoured ice latte has arrived at McCafe. Try it today.
