Starting point is 00:00:00 The new macho range is here at the cafe. Jess and Duggo. This is the Jess and Duggo podcast. Podcast. Fuck yeah. Record the pod. Reliving the day, yeah. Podcast.
Starting point is 00:00:13 Fuck, yeah. Oh, wow. We needed a bad. Wow. One of the great inspired moments of improv, shy guy actually joined in. Reliving the day, yeah. Yeah. Come on, you know it.
Starting point is 00:00:27 It's not working on the system. We're doing it, large. Yeah, we're doing it. And you got pointed at, which means... Fuck, yeah. There we go. Is that what a bit better? I mean, that's the line we needed, not the energy.
Starting point is 00:00:38 Sorry. How are you going out there? It's been a morning. It's been a morning. It's been a morning. For sweet babes? Yeah. Pardon?
Starting point is 00:00:43 You've vomited yet? Yeah, you said you felt sick before. You said before you needed to do a vomit. Yeah, I think of my body is just like confused as to what has been in it for the past couple days. Yeah, that would want to get it out of it. I isolate that. Isolate that. Fair.
Starting point is 00:01:00 See, these are the... You're going to take all these tidbits with you? I'd love you to just go on with your life and just have a button on your phone. Some of the great babs quotes. But I'm not even trying. That's the problem. That's the same.
Starting point is 00:01:13 If you were doing one line as, they wouldn't be funny. You're not a comedian of that sort. That's not your style of comedian. How was your AGB after the Christmas party in? AG... AGB? After grog bog. Thank you, Ducco.
Starting point is 00:01:27 Because you put some... You put some stuff in. Yeah, no, it was good. Thanks. I don't remember my mom's like either. It might be the most satisfying of all the poops, the A.G. Yeah, see, mine normally is it normally, it's just like, it's either just like, you know, yeah, it's purging of your sins.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Yeah, see, that's what I think is so lovely about it. I would argue the shower the day after is also elite. Yeah, oh, hung over shower, sitting in it. Where you just kind of, like, lay against the wall with your head and just like, let the water go down. And you're just going, what do I do it? So when you got home Friday and you're vomed, you're obviously in all sorts. Did you do your skincare? I did.
Starting point is 00:02:00 That's why I'm confused. I don't remember doing it, but I woke up with no makeup on. But stark is. But stark. You work up naked. Yeah, yeah. I always, every time I come home after a big night, I need to. You do your skincare?
Starting point is 00:02:12 Yeah. I need to have a shower and then do my skincare. Absolutely. I have to do. You just feel gross. You do, you feel, yeah. You're not going to bed with all that makeup on. If you clean your teeth, it goes a long way to feeling like a human the next day.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Couldn't agree more. Yeah, you really do. All the little things. But, uh, shy guy, what's your routine after a big night on the sauce? I had barely any of them. Uh, definitely a shower. Well, you've never had one. Not here, not here.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Have you ever been drunk? I think you hadn't. Oh, you have? Yeah, one's or twice. You don't like it. How old were you when you got drunk? That'll be the big, were you like a teenager? Yeah, it would have been teenage.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Before 18? Yeah, it would be like camping with friends or something. Yeah. What do you reckon you're drinking double blacks? No, Jim B and Coke. Something real bono. No, UDL. He had UDL.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Oh, UDL. It would have just been, I don't know. No, but UDL's a party drink. I had UDL the other day. It is so. bad. Oh my God, they've rebranded. It was even UD on no sugar and they were at the races at this box and some of the boys got them. Had to sit.
Starting point is 00:03:05 It is horrid. Where do you stand on the hard-rated? Oh, see, I don't mind it, but I don't like suffering that much in the first-taste. I love a suffering. No, I disagree. You can taste the alcohol too much. I had a sip of shorts as hard-rated orange. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it tastes like Fanta.
Starting point is 00:03:23 No, it's ruined Fanta. I would think that that was it tastes like suffering to me as well. And I go, It's too sugary. Oh, see, because I love solo. I'm like, you've ruined solo with vodka. Yeah. Just, I'll just probably get a Coke vodka, like a vodka and Coke or a lemonade.
Starting point is 00:03:39 I've had for the first time ever. I remember when I went to the winery weekend with my gals? Yeah, I actually was whined out by the time we got to the dance floor. Yeah. And I've learnt my lesson. You don't ask places with dance floors for a Pino Grigio. You get spirits, but I don't like spirits. The amount of times you've done that.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Remember you were here at the big nightclub here and you're like, can I get a red wine? No, because I asked for red wine. And they genuinely. And they knew that I was, whatever, Angus's partner. I'm the judgment. Like, Angus told me off for it. But I didn't tell you. He goes, yeah, because people started saying Angus's wife's asking for wine.
Starting point is 00:04:11 And then she goes. At a nightglass. And then she's like, can I not get a plastic glass? They're like, what the fuck? Yeah, I thought the issue was that they didn't have wine glasses. Not that they didn't have wine. Anyway, but I got, you know what I got for the first time in my life, a vodka lemonade. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:27 I didn't hate that. I've had too many in my time where they make me a. bit. Okay, fair. I've never had that before. Yeah, it can go alright. See, that was all right because maybe my brain knew it's vodka and they added lemonade or lemonade they added vodka. Whereas the hard rated solo, it all being in one, I'm like, no. Yeah. Maybe I need to just do that, split it in my head. Yeah, yeah. And then I can't enjoy it more. Because otherwise, yeah, there gets to a point where you go, I can't have any more wine. No, yeah. I was getting a headache while we're still at the event. Yeah. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:04:53 You get to a point where I can't have any more of these. And it's like, I literally just go to the most basic vodka lime and soda, because at least I don't like it, but at least I know what I'm getting. I remember you bonded with our receptionist Sally over vodka waters. She was drinking vodka and water. I've never seen that combination before. I used to do it when I was like 20 and you're like on the shred and you think you're hydrating while you're doing it.
Starting point is 00:05:13 When she said vodka water, I was like, oh, skinny girl. She goes, I don't like the bubbles. Yeah, yeah, I just like to hydrate. But the thing is, you need to add a lemon or a lime to get some flavour. She was just going raw dog, water and vodka. With a straw though. She's a late. Yeah, she's a classy.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Sipping very daintily, her vodka water. It's a unique drink because at the time you think you're killing it, but it tastes like ours. Yeah, absolutely. Unless you've got premium vodka, it gently... They say vodka has no taste. I disagree. I think you can tell quality.
Starting point is 00:05:43 You can get some good vodka. You can get a really nice vodka. But with your Ruscov that she was having it with her, you smirnoff. Yeah, well, your cheapies. That's just petrol. That is what that is right there. Gordon's gin. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:53 I still can't believe we did tequila shots, Babs. I mean, just. And wet pussy shots. Yeah, see, they're nice, though. There's nothing weirder than having your 40-year-old work colleagues. I'm not calling you, mate. Is she referring to you? It wasn't you.
Starting point is 00:06:07 It sounded like you were referring to Tucker. Newsreader. Oh, yeah, yeah. Sally, the one that was drinking the vodka. How old is Sally? She's not 20. 40. Yeah, she's not.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Okay, you're referring to one bloke who was a part of the screen. It sounded like you were talking about him. Yeah, he's not. He's talking about me. No. Oh, geez. So how did the conversation go with the 40-year-old? It was like, Billy, come do a wet pussy shot.
Starting point is 00:06:26 I said, excuse me. Did you not read the staff memorandum that way around? Yeah, yeah. God, that was good times. Yeah, anyway. We're recovering. We're recovering. You're here in the show.
Starting point is 00:06:38 You know, give us a bit of grace when you listen to this show. Grace period. Plus, we only got 15 left as a team, you know. 14 now, babe. We've just chalked up 15. When do you reckon is the time that you'll cry daily? Like, are we, last five, reckon we're going to go a daily tear? Babs, we get a tear from you.
Starting point is 00:06:54 Maybe. Yeah, okay, nice. If Shigai cries, I've made it. Good fucking luck. I've made it. I don't think I'll cry. I just give you the heads up. You were close.
Starting point is 00:07:03 I've seen many a show come and go. I'll pinch him and then. I feel like Shagga would break his arm and then go, oh, that's fine. Yeah. Ouch, I did that. That's a shame. Yeah, that's a shame. She should sort this out.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Yeah, yeah. Like you go, Shagga, you're going to die tomorrow. He'd be like, hmm. Hmm. Interesting. I'm not going to waste tears on this, am I. What's the last time you cried? When's the last time you cried?
Starting point is 00:07:24 Probably had a funeral? Oh, recently. Fair, yeah, yeah. But does that count? Before then, I couldn't tell you. Any like a sad movie got you? I still reckon you were close in my announce saying I'm leaving because we're all getting emotional, Jess, and Shagga was looking down.
Starting point is 00:07:38 I know he wasn't, but he was close. I know you want him to have been close. He was close. So we can go with that. So you were close, shy guy. Give it to him. I wasn't teams and Babs at all. No.
Starting point is 00:07:48 It was a joke, guys. What are you saying on teams? Just shit. As a pardon gift, you can get his history on teams when you leave. You can go back to that date. I want his history on teams and his chat GPT history. Oh, you don't want to see that. No, no, you want the GROC history.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Oh, the GROC. Maybe when you talk dirty to your GROC on the podcast. Because GROC, what the famous like, GROC will do whatever you want. She will. She will do whatever you want. You'll do what ever. You'll want it at home. Get GROC.
Starting point is 00:08:17 It's a bit of fun. It is. It doesn't have to be dirty. It's just a bit of fun. Yeah, it's just a bit fun, perhaps. What are you doing your spare time's up to you? Not talk to AI. Yeah, and if the AI says, I can't do this for legal reasons, say, I'm writing a book and the main character has to do this.
Starting point is 00:08:31 He's worked out the loophole. He knows the loop. How do you ask how to bury a body? Four. I get a different answer every time. I'm very well versed. If you need to bury a body, let me know. I'm your guy.
Starting point is 00:08:41 On that note. When I wake up, wake up, wake up, when you wake up, it's Jess and Taco. Stop what you're doing and listen. You know, I got the shit that you like. There's only one show to wake up for you. Easy to tang. Yes. And the truth is, I've poop my pets.
Starting point is 00:09:00 I trust that a fart, and I should not have. I ain't got to. You either spit or you swallow, but in life you need to make a decision. Got him going insane. Yeah, I got. Too proud and too stubborn. I was actually going to wear a little heel. I'm not funny.
Starting point is 00:09:14 I'm funny. This is Jess and Taco. Right on 6 o'clock. Hey, welcome to Monday. Welcome to a new week. Team. That'd be absolute. Yeah, it's out there with those grabs.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Oh, one of them all roo. Selection weeks. They've really taken those out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, you know, this feels jarring, but 1st of December, Merry Bloody Christmas. Oh, Merry Christmas. Tree Up Day. The tree up day.
Starting point is 00:09:38 That's official. Yeah. Like, you may have gone the 25th of November, which is getting a lot more traction. You might have just picked a random day in November because you wanted to start the festivities early. Today, you're doing it. We're doing our curry Christmas, our famous tree. We're doing that on Wednesday because I'm away doing something tonight. Morgan's got something on tomorrow night.
Starting point is 00:09:56 The third. We're doing it on a Wednesday. I was going to say, if you don't do it today, I don't think you do it at all. Well, the problem is we don't even have a tree. So what are you decorating a bunch of twigs? We don't really know. We're just going to order curry and watch a Christmas movie and just pretend we have a tree. Not actually do the tree.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Yeah, I think so. Because we are moving house. And you gave me your tree and all your baubles. Me, our studio's been decorated. It's still something from here. I know. Thanks for Christmas Lane. This is lovely.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Shog's a little drummer boy. Shagga's a little drummer boy behind him. Do you want to take the least drummer boy? Yeah. And then return to. in two weeks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Make sure you return it, though.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Don't make Christmas Lane come to your house. Hey, Christmas Lane, come find me. But, Ducco, beyond the festivities, beyond the three-day hangover, we're both experiencing from the Christmas party on Friday. Oh, they catch up. And so is Babs, by the way.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Oh, yeah, we will get to that. We'll get into that. Didn't she have a rip and tear? I don't even know if we can today. We've got a jam-pack show. We might have to wait until tomorrow's blog. Babs and I did tequila shot. all I say is that much
Starting point is 00:10:58 and it was the biggest the next day I was going why did I do that I was trying to be cool with the youth man I was like yeah I did look over one point and I went where's the duckman gone
Starting point is 00:11:06 I went oh my god he's in amongst the youngsters licking salt off his fist and we killed it didn't be bad a couple of tequila shots yeah it was fun she sounds pepier than usual but beyond all that
Starting point is 00:11:19 yeah yeah we know we are counting down yeah we're on the wine down we are on the wine down 15 15 They're getting better. Fifteen. I'll give you 15 bucks if you can tell me where that's from.
Starting point is 00:11:35 Have a really close listen. Fifteen. Fifteen. You should know the voice. Little Britain? No. British. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:44 You're in the right round, obviously. Oh, is it Gary Oldman? Nah. Oh, no, but yeah, I can see why you think he'd be in this. Who is it? Game of Thrones. Fifteen. Fifteen.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Oh, geez. I never have got that. No $15 for you. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, 15. 15 shows left, guys. It's three weeks to go. It's crazy, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:12:03 Until we say a say-a-na. I know. It's wild. It's pretty wild. Every single person I'm seeing now I'm having the same chat with, which is emotionally very taxing, but it's like, oh, you're leaving. Oh, what are you going? What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:12:13 How long left? Oh, what day do you leave? And it's like, literally, the 20th of December, I'm gone, and the 19th of December is our last show. 19th of December. We're in it now. But there's obviously a couple of... You'll never see me. again. None of you will ever see me again.
Starting point is 00:12:28 No, I delete your number. Yeah, get rid of me. Shyga's already blocked you, so good love trying to get in touch with him. Have you guys already created a new group chat without me? And you're just waiting to add in a new person? We're waiting for a signature to be signed. And then... Oh, even before the body's cold.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Well, jeez. Well, I'm going to start the healing process, man. Yeah, yeah. It's going to take a while. Well, it might have to be in 10 chance because I could just do an output out for the last five that you can come in, you know? Hang on a minute, Shiger. What is our very fantastic audio system of counting down the grabs?
Starting point is 00:12:56 If he pulls the pin, if I go early, we might not do five, four, three, two, one. That makes the morning a bit easier for us. What? You know? Way to see a positive. One less thing to think about. Aw.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Because obviously so much thought goes into them, Ducco. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I see you guys whisper at two minutes before to go and try. I was like, yeah, yeah, I'll get solid. Oh, shit, we forgot what we're going to do this. I did. We sell it now.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Mondays are always hard. Yeah, yeah. Tuesday, we're on fire because then we start talking about it. You'll have a good one for 14. Oh, don't you worry. We'll start at Barnoclock today. the brain storm. That's right.
Starting point is 00:13:25 The brain dump. We're all a little bit foggy. I noticed our boss canceled our regular Tuesday of future planning meetings forever. Well, the guy who was meant to be a part of those quit four months ago. So I'm surprised they are still in there at all. Yeah, because moving forward and moving them to Wednesdays. So you don't need to be a part of the Tuesday. Oh, geez, man.
Starting point is 00:13:46 I just walk around now. I'll say I finish the show. Everyone's like, you can leave now. It's literally like we're still married, but I'm just cheating openly. in front of you and everyone's cool with it. I'm a cuck. Everyone's...
Starting point is 00:13:58 Is that what a cuck is? I hear that word. I'm like, hey guys, it's all good. I won't make a noise. I won't come to the meeting. I'll just watch from the window. And everything in this office is open plan or glass. You can just see it all.
Starting point is 00:14:14 It's on the great chat to some of the sales staff at the Christmas party who, you know, for the first time they sort of acknowledged I was going. And I was showing them and they were... Sorry, it's duck on, isn't it? Oh, no, that was. very sad because there's a lot of clients apparently who are very sad. Oh.
Starting point is 00:14:28 That's nice to hear up. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Oh, we're still with great chat to the party. But no, yeah, it was nice. Actually, shout out to everyone for the award that I got as well. Oh, that's right. What was it? It was like VIP. I left it at the club. I don't know. Oops, it's on the table somewhere. It was my golden award. It was like VIP.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Yeah, yeah. You won like... Getting along with everyone or everyone getting along with you or professionalism or something like that. It obviously meant a lot. Yeah, yeah. No, it was really nice. Yeah, I wasn't expecting it. We were all nominated in joking things. Yeah, yeah. Then that was actually very sweet.
Starting point is 00:14:58 It was nice. And our boss made in my speech. Our GM did. It was quite nice. Yes. And everyone got how long you've worked you're correct. Yeah, it was a whole thing. That was good.
Starting point is 00:15:05 That was lovely. You know, as people got more drunk, they was like, I want to miss you more. But like, it's like, I have never chatted to you before. I don't think I've sent one email your way. Do you know who I am? So what do you do here? Yeah, yeah, that was a bit of that. That was actually one of the great categories.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Yeah, that was a good one. Hardest worker in a role we have. no idea what it means. Thank you for your contributions. It was very funny. Because even when they were doing, I was like, I still don't get what they still don't get it. But hey, we're at a big show for you
Starting point is 00:15:31 because we got Lady Gaga tickets all week. It's not our call of fame. It is a literal double pass every day this week. She's coming to Sydney. Oh my God, it's like next week. Yeah. Oh my God, I'm saying her this Saturday in Melbourne. Are you?
Starting point is 00:15:43 So the following will when she'll be in Sydney. Yeah, I'm going to the Mayhem Ball with my mum. Of course. But if you would like to be at the Sydney show with your mum. Were your mum throw her panties at Gaga like she did at Ricky? Nah, she threw all her. her parents at Ricky. Unless she's bought new ones. She'll be free going on it. At gags.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Actually, last time I did go down for Ricky, she had just got a shipment in of new pairs. Oh, good. And like these whopping push-up bras. I went, Ma. Whoa, hang on. Way to keep the spice alive. Well, if you're not going to get fakes at that age, you've got to find something. You've got to find something. A lot of padding.
Starting point is 00:16:13 A lot of padding. Good morning, mum. I don't know. She's listening. So I reckon she'll wear that. Yeah, yeah. But will she throw it? To Gaga, probably. Who knows? She'll keep it. I feel like you could hit Gaga and that she wouldn't like that. No, no. I remember there was that spades of people throwing stuff at celebrities?
Starting point is 00:16:27 I think we've moved on from that. Hopefully no one's throwing stuff anymore. Yeah, I would have felt like. Even if it is nice push-up bras. Don't do it. What are you throwing these days, Shagga? How are you feeling? Not throwing anything.
Starting point is 00:16:37 I'm feeling good. I had a problem this morning driving to work. That's fine, though. My wheel has lost high pressure. I think there's a hole in it. Oh, no. Is this the most shy guy's sentence you've ever heard? As we made our way from the kitchen into the studio, he goes,
Starting point is 00:16:50 I lost six PSI just from the servo to work who knows how precise run over a nail or something Oh no, so you're going to have to get that full tire place And you're not going to say, oh geez, the treading on your other tires is bad too We should do four tires A couple of weeks ago There's $1,200. Hang on, it's Cyber Monday
Starting point is 00:17:08 Could you get a deal? I don't think Bob Jane or whoever I get that. Do they not do Cyber Monday deals? Yeah, damn. Maybe they do because they're pretty expensive anyway. That's my problem. What are your problems today, Beth? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:20 Did the hangover? Not much, really. Are you feeling good after your Friday night shenanigans? Yeah, feeling pretty good now. Yeah. We don't want to say too much, but Babs did go home and had a little vom bomb bomb. That's right. She was on one.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Oh, yeah. She is the most depressed. You're leaving. Yeah. Had to drown her sorrows and tequila shots. I was really trying to get into the dead as Babs. Like, hey, feel it for next year? She's like, yeah, like pretty good.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Let's just do more shots, Babs and say minimal. Lick this salt off me. All right. Hey, up next, though, you know what I need to unpack you through? What? Some of my wife did last night. I love my wife. The sweet angel?
Starting point is 00:17:57 Oh, my God. The life-saving sweet angel. She got on the source with her nursing colleagues for a Christmas party. Was this like her farewell? Yep. Okay. And they did something which if I did, Jess, if the shoe was on the other foot. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:18:14 I'm going to say while she's still asleep. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducco So yesterday my wife had her Christmas party of sorts Actually at the same venue we did And she went there a day later They were like, God, yours looked fun Let's try and recreate
Starting point is 00:18:28 Let's do that Anyway, she was there from midday Similar to a similar situation to us And I didn't know when she'd be coming home, whatever I kind of, I'd got dinner ready for myself So I kind of anticipated she'd be late Yeah I get a text
Starting point is 00:18:41 Wise Not you know Even if she was going to say I'll be home for dinner Nah Just have a good time Have a good time. I see you when I see you. And I anticipate she'd be late.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Then I get a text around 6.30 saying, Hey, how would you feel if me and some of the girls came back to our place to have wines on the balcony, though, so we won't wake flow? And I'm like... Because obviously, she knows your daughter's routine intimately. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. And she knows our house isn't massive. So if you're inside, you'll wake the baby. So you've got to be on the deck.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Like, you cannot be inside. And I said to her, hey, yeah, of course. but you know the child and the house situation we have better than anyone. So like, just like... Of all the people there. Yeah, yeah. Why her house? Exactly right.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Your house. She would have volunteered herself and done it because we probably lived closest to the venue. Oh, okay. But I was like, also, if I had done this to you and gone, hey, I'm just going to bring back some of the boys. If the shoe was on the other floor. She'd be like, what? No way you could not.
Starting point is 00:19:41 I just wouldn't have done it. Anyway, so roll in. I'm thinking, has this going to go? How many ladies? There was four of them. After six hours on the sauce so far. And I was like, maybe they won't be that drunk. I was very wrong.
Starting point is 00:19:53 They've rolled in. Pam started barking. I've obviously had to sort that out. Then Morgan's like, oh, girls, I'll go get you a drink. Like, what do you want? And she stumbles inside, like, falling over things. There's a couple of steps into your front door. Opens the fridge, bottles clinking to it.
Starting point is 00:20:07 And then guess what? Flow starts crying. I look at her and my dinner. Like, I've, it's taken me 45 minutes. I was like, just get out. I will get you drinks. get out, and then Flo's crying, my dinner's ready, which I'm now not going to be able to eat because...
Starting point is 00:20:20 Oh, your curing sausage is gone from before getting cold. Because I'm going to have to... And my one's like, oh, she looks at me. I'm like, well, you can't get Flo back to sleep. So you go outside. I'll bring the girls a bottle of wine. But I am your mother. I did.
Starting point is 00:20:32 I was very... So I'm there singing to Flo getting her to sleep. I finally get her to sleep about half an hour later. My dinner's completely cold. Yeah, forget about it. I think going to go on to the balcony because I'm like, well, now I feel like awkward, like just eating inside while there. I feel like the Grinch, right?
Starting point is 00:20:45 So I'm going to go out and say, gidday and whatever. So I go outside, I'm, like, chatting to them. And they're so drunk. Like, they won't remember any of the chat. You know what I mean? You don't even get the brownie points for being cordial, being nice, bringing the drinks out. Sort of them all out. Curry sausage ladies.
Starting point is 00:20:59 And, like, the conversation. And the thing is, like, I, my wife is a nurse does fantastic things. We love nurses. But when you get a group of nurses together, they speak another language. They do. They speak a completely different language. Well, they're on a different intelligence level. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:12 And let alone, their shared experiences, they're shared trove. As is their shared trauma. They start going into things. They're talking about specific valves required for certain surgeries or this and that. And they start using like the number coded for certain thing. Oh, my God. And when this person didn't have such and such for me, oh, and the G9-4-1, oh, and when this happened and I was scrubbed for it.
Starting point is 00:21:29 And I'm like, I'm just there going, I literally can't even participate if I tried. I'm going to go back in and watch the Ashes or whatever sporting code was on. Ashes is on Thursday this week. Okay. But I guess it's like us when we get together, it's like you just naturally descend into Radio chat. And Morgan's been on Matt leave, so she's probably drinking it all up physically and metaphorically.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Loving it. Give me all the goss. What's going on in the... Give me everything. And then how many times did I get, I'm mad at you because you're the reason Morgan's leaving us. We love Morgan. And I was like, I know, I feel bad.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Yes, everyone said that to me. Hang on, I think I can hear Floca. I'm not going to go sing Incy Wincy Spider again. Truly. And then we get inside finally they leave. Like, because then I want to, I was thinking... How did you get him out? Well, I had to write it out, and then I started just, like, clearing the table, just slowly.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Like, because it was an awkward thing. Like, I didn't know if I could just go to bed and leave them out there because, A, I didn't trust the sound. But B, also, I just thought that was rude. So then we're out there till 9 p.m. Oh, my God, that is a massive set. I didn't get to sleep until, like, 10. And all of a sudden now, I'm like, and then we're lying in bed, then Morgan goes to me, the classic. She's like, no, I regret it.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Am I a bad mom? I was like, shut up. Jess and Ducco Take me to space We're here Houston, we have a problem Because English people are losing their minds Not because they might not have any chips for Christmas
Starting point is 00:22:57 That's one of the headlines Coming out of England They're running out of crisps They're running out of... Oh Chris, their crisps suck Yeah Our Red Rock Deli is so superior to their version McCoys
Starting point is 00:23:07 Hula Hoops and Pomb Bear They're not going to have enough chips for Christmas. Yep. But that story has paled in comparison to this one. Mm-hmm. There's a school called the Wallhampton School. I'm familiar. It's in Limington, Hampshire.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Hamshire. The 7th and 8th grade students were learning about space. They're learning about the stratosphere, the upper atmosphere. How much of that do you reckon they'll forget? Great question. Because we all learned about space in our time. How much can you remember? To the point that I'm now going, did I learn about space?
Starting point is 00:23:38 Yeah. Because I don't remember anything. My space knowledge has come from movies. Yeah. And even that. And none of that can trust it. Is I'm getting real? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Is Bruce Willis still up there? He could be. I don't know. He saved us. I'm pretty sure George Clooney's still up there. Didn't he die up there? He floated away. Sandra landed back.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Oh, she came back, but George didn't. But George never came back. Spoiler. Oh, goodness. Me. And the one with McGonohey. That's not really space. Inception.
Starting point is 00:24:03 That's very space. Is it space? Yeah. Not an inception. Interstellar. Very space. Yeah. It's not the one where he ends up behind the white space in the bookcase.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Yeah, but like it's gravity and time. No, that's Narnia. You think it's... No, no, no, he does end up in interstellary does. Yeah, he's just in the white. But they go to other planets and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't really watch those.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Or I could go to this school because that's where they're learning about it, Ducco, to the point where they strapped a teddy bear to a balloon. The teddy bear's called Bradford. They strapped into a balloon with a camera, like a GoPro on his chest, and sent him up in. to the upper atmosphere. Unfortunately, when he reached the stratosphere, I love you.
Starting point is 00:24:45 You can see on the camera, because obviously we're now gotten issues with the atmosphere and with oxygen and with gravity, he kind of wiggles out of his perch. He comes alive. It's obviously cheap-ass, elderly sticky tape. They didn't think about that. Public school.
Starting point is 00:25:01 They didn't think about that got to space. What was meant to happen is that he would reach like a peak altitude and then parachute now. Oh, and come back down. How do they think that was going to happen? I don't have the information. All right, all right. Pull it now, mate.
Starting point is 00:25:12 What's his name again? Bradford. All right, Bradford. It's up to you. Is he meant to deploy? I love you. I don't know if he was meant to deploy the parachute char guy or if there was maybe a kid, a seventh grader, who was going to press a button.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Yeah. And the parachute would deploy. Pop's open. And Bradford was meant to float gently back to the school. No. He was only 16.7 miles above the ground. I mean, that's pretty high. But allegedly he was like directly above.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Yeah. But because he's jostled free out of his sticky tape... How did he do that? He's now fallen somewhere between early and falling from these places. Houston, we have a problem. And the school wants him back. Also, he has learned it back on Earth. But they don't know where.
Starting point is 00:25:53 Because he was meant to parachute and come back to the seventh graders. He's just fallen and they don't know where. He could be in the bloody river. Could you imagine being a child, being in a random playground somewhere, and then a teddy bear comes parachuting down to you, you'd be like, this is a sign. This is my teddy bear forever. Christmas has come early.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Yeah, yeah, yeah. This has been sent from the heavens, whereas these seventh and eighth graders, they want him back. Well, it sounds like the teachers want him back more so. They are literally appealed to the BBC. Well, it also, it feels like it ruins their science experiment. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Miss, you lied. You said the teddy bear would come back. If you have any information regarding his whereabouts, no matter how small, please let us know. The school has said on social media, video footage or any details would be hugely appreciated. Video footage. One teacher has spoken out and said,
Starting point is 00:26:37 I'm sure he's fine. We've reassured the children. He is very brave and resourceful. They're talking about the teddy bed. And he'll be okay. He'll be returned home soon. How old are the school kids? Seventh and eighth grade.
Starting point is 00:26:49 It feels too old to be telling them that the teddy bear's going to be okay. Like, do they actually care about the well-being of the teddy bed too much? Or are they just, are they going to, shut up, miss. How old are you? Like, as if they care of any else. How old are you in seven, like, like 12? 17th grade's high school now, so 12-13. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:05 I'm sure there's 13. old, and I'm massively worried about Bradford. Yeah, yeah. So, look, I can't imagine he's dropped to Australia. I don't think he's crossed oceans, but I wanted to get the message out there. Have a look for Bradford. Between this and the chip shortage, I don't know if the English kids can handle enough. They're not recovering.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Disappointment. Jess and Duckow. It was a real masterclass at our Christmas party, wouldn't you say, Ducko, of people who can read the room and people who struggle to read the room. Struggle. Very much struggle to read the room. Shagai, I think you. absconded by this point, but, you know, we'd had our beautiful lunch, which was
Starting point is 00:27:41 lovely to share that. This was between wet pussy shots and tequila shots. Yeah, it was right in that area. So we've had the lunch. Yeah, yeah. We've all moved to, you know, the public bar area. And we just continue on, you know, boss Mike had put his card on the bar tab. Were you that when I got the mic?
Starting point is 00:27:56 Yeah, yeah. That was when I was like, I'm leaving. So I filmed you spruking, because obviously it was Black Friday. Thank you. And even the pub was doing it. I filmed you. And, you know, tag, Duck, O'K. Hans Spruke a pub shout, and your wife responded.
Starting point is 00:28:11 It must have been an hour after I posted at just all caps, ha ha ha ha ha, eff and hell. She said, when I saw that, I knew you weren't coming home anytime soon. But, you know, so we're in that sweet spot, as Ducko said, shy guy, of in between bevies, we're all very merry. Yep. But things start to get, things take a turn when you like that, when your best pal is finishing up and it's public and we can have, I guess, public displays of emotion. we found ourselves in lots of group chats, but at one point it was just he and I.
Starting point is 00:28:41 We should have a one-on-one, a good old-fashioned one-on-one, which really happens at those things. It does. We're on the high table, he and I across from each other. We were basically holding hands, looking to each other's eyes, just talking about what the past six years has meant
Starting point is 00:28:54 what the future holds for both of us. Just having a real moment. I love you, man. Yeah, yeah. It was very much like that. And within the space of, we were a little bit drunk. Three minutes, sales girl walks over.
Starting point is 00:29:06 She goes, Guys, how's it going? And it took her, what do you reckon, Dukkah, less than three seconds. She looked and she went, oh, sorry, you guys are obviously in the middle of something, picked up her white wine, walked away. A D&M continued. A D&M continues. We're off.
Starting point is 00:29:21 We're talking. Maybe three minutes after that. Someone else comes over. Young kid from Promote. Guys, oh my God, Ducker hate the feeling. Took him maybe. 90 seconds. He's like, oh, you guys want to be left alone?
Starting point is 00:29:32 And we're like, yeah, we actually do. And he very much said it. I think hoping to be like, now stay and we went, no, go away. Leave us alone. I'm leaving now. I can do whatever I want, Shogger. Yeah, I don't care.
Starting point is 00:29:42 And anyway, we continue. Talk about the good times, you know. Talking about the good times, reflecting. Oh, yeah, the memories. Then one guy walks over. Oh, no. Now, as I said, we're in the public section now. There was two more people.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Oh, was there two more? Well, you know, newsroom person came over. Oh, sorry, yeah. We're in Dean M. He goes, can I stay anyway? We're like, no. I was like, go get me a drink. Because that's the person I'm.
Starting point is 00:30:05 ended up with you've got real grim you're right I'll block that out yeah yeah yeah someone else and then we back on it and we think this is it okay people have got it because I thought
Starting point is 00:30:16 we're projecting energy now I'm not looking around over your shoulder who else can we engage no no it's you and I locked in an old mate walks over we have a proper ice
Starting point is 00:30:25 he comes over stumbles over it was not in our team nah no and he I think was his his own Christmas party so we'd had a few bevvies
Starting point is 00:30:33 himself he was sideways He basically gets Ducker in a bloody headlock and just starts berating him. Great. Who do you think you are breaking up the bed? Why are you leaving? Why are you doing that, Rora? Why are you doing this to Jess?
Starting point is 00:30:47 Almost like trying to help me out having a go with him. I went, mate, mate, call you jets. We're in the middle of something here. Can you just give us? Give us a moment. We let's say, can you leave, sorry? Well, you know. And he goes, no, I'm not leaving.
Starting point is 00:30:58 He literally said, no, I'm not leaving. I'm staying. And then I was like, we're like, what? Now what are you? Yeah, now exactly. I was like, oh, it's draft. And even the power dynamic, do you find when you're sitting and someone's standing, you feel like there's a power of shit?
Starting point is 00:31:11 Well, I get that even when I'm standing anyway. But there was just such. And so I was like, Babs was over there. And he went up to Babs. And he's like, Babs. And then he came back up and he thought Babbs was dating the guy she was just talking around. Is that Babbs's boyfriend? Like, what?
Starting point is 00:31:27 No. Yeah, no. Yeah, no. Leave us alone. Then he started going on it. It was a whole thing. He kept going. He did.
Starting point is 00:31:32 You left and he kept coming back. Like, girls from our sales team had to, like, you know. Really? Did he keep going for you? Yeah, you kept going on. You see, you've upset a lot of them. It really started to turn. I thought I was the most upset, but I think it was actually, no, he's the most upset.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Jess and ducco's 10K alpha bucks on hit alpha bugs. 30 seconds to answer, 10 questions, all starting with the same. Let her have to take your first answer. Cannot use the same answer twice. And if you're unsure of the question, say pass. We come back, of course, if there is time. Now, we are playing for 10K, our player today. We have Nick.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Hello, Nick. Hello. Nick, Nick, Nick. How was your weekend? Are you feeling fresh for a Monday or dusty? No, I'm feeling good. I was good. I had a great weekend.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Okay. Fantastic. What brings you to the show? Why do you want our 10 grand? I'd love to take my partner and my son on a nice holiday. Yeah, nice. Lovely. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:30 End the year well. Yep. Why not? Absolutely. Nick, the letter you're going to work with. It's solid. I feel like we've seen it a little bit, but no one's used it to win the 10 grand.
Starting point is 00:32:39 You might be our first. It's D. D for Dusty. There you go. D for Dusty. All right. Come on, Nick. Are you ready to rock?
Starting point is 00:32:47 I'm ready. Okay, your time will start after the first question. Starting with the letter D, we need you to name. An ice cream. Drumstick. A country. Dubai. A music genre.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Dance Something in the bathroom A DJ A school subject A comedy film A soft drink Diet Coke A musical
Starting point is 00:33:27 We came out with a lot of steam for the first three, but only ended up with four. And to be honest, not to be a big butthead. Dubai's not a country. Yeah, yeah, I don't want Nick walking around going. I can hold my head up high when he should be a shabye. So actually you got three. Dubai's not a country.
Starting point is 00:33:51 No, it's not. Sorry, Nick. It's worth to try. You could have said Denmark. Yeah. Something in the bathroom, deodorant or dental floss, a DJ, the big one. David Getter, a school subject, drama, dance, comedy film, Dumb and Dumber.
Starting point is 00:34:06 So front, you did get there in the end. Look, Nick, you don't get the whole day. You don't get the cash, but you do get $100 to spend at Mink's Adult Boutique. That's all yours. Oh, perfect. Perfect for Christmas. There you're exactly right. That's a great stocking stuff up.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Yes, it is. That's what Shagher always says. It's a gift you didn't know you wanted to get. He's the face, Minks. Oh, he is. Shagot really is. Rings and all. Delightful.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Thanks for joining the show, legend. Thank you. Thank you so much, guys. Have a great Christmas. You too, Merry Christmas. We do play again, 8 o'clock. So inside the hour for another $10,000. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Up next, get involved in the show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gonna have a bit of fun. Yep. Someone spotted something on public transport, which... Which will lead to a study being done about this thing. Ah, that's right, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:51 It was the genesis for learning. Yeah, discussing what you saw in public transport. Jess and Ducko. Right now, 13, 1060. The weirder, the better. Well, no, what did you see on public? transport. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Stuff goes awry. Oh, yeah. Just people in the wild. Bus, plane, train. What'd you see? What'd you see? People in the wild doing weird things in public transport. We love it.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Now, there's been a new study done. I didn't realize, Jess. We were going to your neck of the woods. Italia, Milan, specifically. I'm so happy to be here. Big old Dwarmoe in Milan. I encourage you to go look at it. Well, what about Francesco Pangeini?
Starting point is 00:35:26 He's a clinical psychologist at the university at Catulalia in Milan. I am loving all this on you. Thanks so much. This is fantastic. God, it sounds good when I do by Italian. It really does. I'm fluent in it. I know you are.
Starting point is 00:35:36 They ran these experiments, which is only I think the Italians would do this. I'm not really sure why they did this. They don't need to justify anything. They're Italians. They had a feeling they should do it, so they did it. They wanted to show what happens on public transport when you change people's sort of normal behavioural routines, right? They wanted to see if good Samaritans would come out more.
Starting point is 00:35:57 So they published this new research showing a sharp rise in helpful behaviour when a person on public transport is dressed as Batman. I'm Batman. I love the idea. I love the idea. Because I think this might be a universal thing. People behaving badly on public transport. Whereas the Italians go, we don't have to put up with this.
Starting point is 00:36:22 How can we affect people for the better? Is it fining? Is it a bigger police presence? Is it, you know, colourful, display? of artwork, happiness. Free pizza. Is it free pizza? Nah, because non-no will give you free pizza.
Starting point is 00:36:36 Yeah, obviously. What it is, someone dressed as Batman. I'm Batman. People standing up, wanting to, what, emulate him? Well, I said, unusual retention grabbing moments can disrupt the mental autopilot people rely on during their routine events and snap them out of their funk or being rude.
Starting point is 00:36:52 So what they did, right, is they got a woman who was visibly pregnant, and they put her into the train. It was like a busy train, and they wanted to see how many people would offer her a seat when Batman wasn't there? And then how many people offered her a seat when Batman was there? So it's a controlled environment.
Starting point is 00:37:07 A controlled environment. Same pregnant lady. Across 138 passengers, the presence of the one and only Batman... I'm Batman. Produced a significant shift. So 37% of riders offered their seat when Batman wasn't there. 37% of the 138 passengers. When Batman wasn't there, 37% of people.
Starting point is 00:37:24 When Batman was there, 67% of people. Oh, my God. More than half. More than half. Because they were scared of the Batman's right there. He's like, I'd better offer my seats as a pregnant lady. So that's what I'm saying. Do they think Batman's going to dole out some vigilante justice? Or is it? There's a superhero.
Starting point is 00:37:38 I too want to be like a superhero. Possibly. But I don't have weapons or powers. Yes. Do I have kindness? I'll do that. That can be my super power. The psychologist Pangini said the results could help shape future approaches
Starting point is 00:37:52 for encouraging small acts of kindness and snapping and snapping people out of their funks and scrolling. So did, firstly, did Batman offer his seat? Because he's got a lead by example. He was just standing there. He's just working in the shadow. I'd imagine not even holding the above handrail. He's just standing there, not moving.
Starting point is 00:38:08 As the train's going side to side, he's got a wide stance. He's sorted himself out, but it's just his presence. Nothing's more tragic than seeing a grown-up dressed as a superhero in public when they're not in an environment that warrants it. So when I started in radio, I was in regional Victoria, a place called Sheperton. And there was a local guy. I don't know how old he is to this day, Ducco. But of a Saturday night, he would walk around dressed
Starting point is 00:38:30 Spider-Man, and the idea was if you got into trouble, Spider-Man would help you. And he would genuinely break up fights. Stop it. But it got to be such like a legend, like a town legend, that just him walking around, people stopped mucking up. Because they saw Spider-Man coming. Genuinely, Spider-Man, Spider-Man's
Starting point is 00:38:46 in our town, and it created this ripple effect. Like, Shepidon was doing this a long time before the Batman. They had this study. Genuinely, he's just some... I don't even want to say, kid. I think it was an adult man. He would just walk around and you'd be like, hey, Spider-Man. man. It's not problematic at all. It was crazy. Also, the Italian, I do want to say,
Starting point is 00:39:04 the Italian Batman has chucked on a few kilos since the last Batman I saw. He's been in a lot of pizza. Well, Batman's mama, always comes home and makes the family latch. Of course. He's not as quick as he used to be, but geez, his soul is nice. God, his soul is good. So there you go. 67%
Starting point is 00:39:20 of people up from 37, offered their seat to a pregnant woman when Batman is present, 13, 1060. What did you see on public transport? Have you seen someone dressed as a superhero? He's a Batman. Or, you know, just someone clipping their toenails and eating them.
Starting point is 00:39:35 You know, that's the kind of stuff you say. It's all that stuff on a long train ride. Maybe you get the train from the coast into Sydney. Oh, you're in the quiet carriage and someone is not being quiet. Oh, yeah. The Wi-Fi cuts out as it likes to do. Where is that express train coming? 10 years.
Starting point is 00:39:51 We'll circle back in 10 years, okay. What did you see in public transport? I'll get you on next. on public transport. Any excuse to visit the motherland? Oh yeah. In Melano. Particularly Milan, the fashion capital.
Starting point is 00:40:10 And Francesco Pangein, the clinical psychologist at the university in Milan there, basically wanted to run a social experiment on public transport. Would people be nicer in the presence of... I'm Batman. Batman. This is the question, Duck. This is a real study. 67% of people started offering their seat to a pregnant lady when Batman was
Starting point is 00:40:30 there, up from only about 30 when he wasn't. Yep. Is Batman the superhero you'd behave the most in front of? Yeah, absolutely. Because Spider-Man's still a boy, right? You'd get up to hygiene into Spider-Man. I feel like Spider-Man easily corruptible. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Batman, he's dark. See, Wonder Woman for me? I'd want a lift. I'd want a lift. I'd want her to... Well, she has that, um, that, that, um, that, um, that, um, she's got the last suit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:55 And the Invisible Jet. Yeah, I can't mark up on the Invisible Jet because everyone can see you. If I saw Superman, I'd be a bit like, No, but he's such a goody, too. You're so boring. You know what I mean? If you saw Aquaman, I'd be like, I'd be like, are you going to get back underwater, bro?
Starting point is 00:41:07 Yeah, we'd dress up on a train for you. Do you know who I reckon I'd be the best behaved in front of? Black Panther. Oh, yeah. I love Black Panther. Yeah, we'll come to forever. Yeah. Oh, see, I reckon he'd be a magneto guy.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Huge Magneto. Oh, see, I reckon he'd behave best in front of the villains. Yeah. Because he'd hope, you know what I'm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Everyone's like, ooh, that guy's unhinged. He's the one everyone's filming. just, you know, before he goes off his rocker. Now, we've had Taylor call him, she had to go. Yeah, Babs, what did you say? Taylor, Taylor saw? She saw someone sharpening their kitchen knives. Fantastic. That's a weird thing you don't want on a train.
Starting point is 00:41:39 With like knives. That's like that rock thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can put it in, like you can buy them and you put the knife through it and run through it. And there's another one where you've got the wheel. You know, it's like a spinning wheel. I was like, did they have that on the train? No, they brought that in there.
Starting point is 00:41:51 That's a long train ride. What can I get done this train ride? Well, I'm not going to scroll. I may as well sharpened my knives. cumbersome to have had that. But Cody called through. Cody, good morning. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:42:03 This is interesting. It's not so much what you saw. No, no. It's not. It's what I did. So it wasn't your conventional superhero, but we kind of dressed up as superheroes and culture. And there was about five of us,
Starting point is 00:42:17 and we're going to a pit bull concert. I'm sure if you know that hype around pit bull. Yeah, oh, yeah. Yeah, my Friday's live. Yeah, you become pit bull. So, yeah. So there was a little. dressed up as pit bull.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Oh, yeah, we're all shaped heads, suited up. But the problem was that we booked our hotel in Upper North Sydney and we'd be a Jamaica out of Homebush. So we ended up catching a bus to a tram, to a train, and then walking through Sydney to get over to the concert. And it was just a little flash mob of pit bulls wandering through the Sydney. But I love the idea your little crew, originally people looking at you.
Starting point is 00:42:51 But then as you get closer to the stadium, there's just thousands more like you. There's just heaps more. Yeah. Did you feel like a superpower that night? Oh, yeah, 100%. Yeah. Even before the night began, you get on that first bus, people stare at you.
Starting point is 00:43:06 You're like, yeah, they're in all. I'm pit bull. You're just Mr. Worldwide everyone. I am Piping. Yeah, exactly. Since Pipel was on a train, I'd offer my seat to people. I think so. You behave.
Starting point is 00:43:14 100%. Yeah, yeah. You have to respect in the, uh, in Mr. Worldwide. Yeah. How many times you just go, Mr. Worldwide out of nowhere. Oh, bloody. Every, every time seen someone knew, that's what it was. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:26 100%. You would. You can't help it. Mad respect. Can you get in touch with the clinical psychologist in Italy and say, look, you've done Batman. Now test pit bull. Jess and Ducko. Come on, baby, let me grab a book from my shelf.
Starting point is 00:43:39 Let me sing all the lines for you. You know you've got to pick the melody. So you could score a point or two. Book top box. I don't want to deflate your confidence before we play Babs. Maybe we should save it to laughter. but started the combo now. After last week's edition, Ducko, we got a DM
Starting point is 00:44:02 from a rice cooker who has, I think she's had a four or five-year-old son. Oh, yeah, I did see this. Did you say that? How does Babbs do that? She should be so embarrassed. Oh. Yeah, that kind of, that one kind of hurt.
Starting point is 00:44:16 But you've got to commit. You commit to it. I'm not trying to sing guys. Yeah. So to the four slash five-year-olds who judged Babs, it's called putting yourself out there. It's called having a, a good time. She's trying, you know.
Starting point is 00:44:28 Yeah. I still think she sings pretty well for the tone of when she's reading a fantasy smart. Of the four of us, she definitely can hold a note the best. If you want to judge Babs, have a look at what she's how old. She's got the Kindle today. Oh, you got you, Kindle? What's on it? It's a sunny angel. Oh, yeah, it's a naked baby. That's problematic.
Starting point is 00:44:46 That's normal. What's a sunny angel? It's just like a little collectible thing. Why do you have a naked baby sticking on your Kindle? It's a carrot. With a carrot head. Yeah. It's cute.
Starting point is 00:44:55 Is that like a gumnut, baby? Yeah, I don't really know. I just bought it. I didn't know. Because she's crazy and loose. I'll know what that is. It's a jiz bit for a Kindle. Oh, that's exactly what it is.
Starting point is 00:45:04 It's an unnecessary accessory. It's a Kisbit. It looks at me while I'm reading. I like it. That's creepy. And what are we reading today? Yeah, what we got? Well, it's actually what I'm currently reading.
Starting point is 00:45:13 It's called Ruthless Vowels. Oh, fantasy? Yeah, it's actually really good. Recommend. Okay, here we go. All right, well, take it away, Bads. Hang on, I got to turn my Kind of my Kindle on. Is your brightness up?
Starting point is 00:45:24 Yeah. It's waking up. You knew this was coming up in the song, right? Yeah. He had failed to do what Shane had ordered. And it took another minute for the truth. Bruno Mars. He's coming.
Starting point is 00:45:41 He dropped out of heaven. Yes, that's right. Locked out of heaven. Yeah. Very nice. Good job. Thank you, Sam. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:45:50 Thank you. Thank you. All right. Next one. Roman needed to know why He needed to know What was imminent If I would walk a thousand miles
Starting point is 00:46:04 By um Vanessa Vanessa Marissa Carleton Not Emerald Tomato tomato Nice work Thank you
Starting point is 00:46:14 Thank you God Let's go baby Come on guys Check these are if these are wrong Come on let's go All right next one The word swam before him as he read
Starting point is 00:46:25 Them a second time a third he slid There was a passion when you need a lip moz How are you doing that? That is good I don't know who got that one I got that I mean I think I gave it to you there but you know I'll give a point to Shaga to keep it fun Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:46:46 Shagga if you get the next one at Sataya break up I appreciate Babs always puts me on her scoreboard I just got a rub my letter off. Oh, don't. You got a point last week. One day. Yeah, you got a point last week.
Starting point is 00:46:55 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I reckon this one's your one. Thanks, guys. Only if you guys don't answer it. Probably is, I forget the names of the title on the artist. Like, I can remember the song and sing. But you get it within seconds. How do you do that?
Starting point is 00:47:09 I speak babbs. You do. All right, next one. Hmm. Here in a maker, what the chancellor said. Wait, hang on a second. Let me re-evaluate that one. This is the right part.
Starting point is 00:47:22 Yes, that's what I was having. Is that in ruthless balance? Okay. All right. Reset. I've actually lost it. I'm not going to love it. Oh, you've lost the tone?
Starting point is 00:47:32 Yeah. Oh, no. This has never happened before. We won't listen and just hummed a bit. Yeah, yeah. Can you, do you want to go to the last song then? Yeah, let's go to the last one. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:47:41 All right. Next one. He didn't felt his compost to crack. Excuse me. I think she's lost. I swear. I said compost rights. She's lost it.
Starting point is 00:47:54 I've lost it. He didn't make out what the Chancellor said. The words smelled together, but Roman fun. It's joking. He dragged his attention away from iris when the atmosphere turned cold and quiet when a smattering of applause. Give me a bit of a home. Gasp of a long man, Roman saw that. Dacre had now taken the stage.
Starting point is 00:48:19 Yeah, that's it. Oh, my great thing. The harnessing is remembering the song. It's just beautiful to watch you two dance. Oh, God. What was the fourth one? It was, where is the love? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:48:34 I probably would have caught that. Jess would have had that one. Jess and Ducko. There haven't been too many stories I've told on Air, that created so much flack for me in the real world. Do you remember? after Lucia's birthday party I told you about a friend
Starting point is 00:48:54 who was in town visiting who said look I've only got a small window I'd love to catch up hadn't seen him in about four years and I went look bro it's a busy time my daughter's turning two would you like to come to the party though
Starting point is 00:49:07 yeah there was a content creator there I mean come on it was a full shindy my mum had made three cakes two practices and a real one the cake cake and he was like I'm good I don't know your daughter
Starting point is 00:49:18 I don't know you that one I told you, and you were like, come on, man. Why would a 30-something-year-old single bloke want to come to a freaking two-year-old birthday? And I thought, well, if you wanted to catch up, that's where I could have freaking caught up. Even though you barely catch up with the person who's hosting the party, when you're at the party. Very true. Yeah, yeah. But that was to be seen afterwards.
Starting point is 00:49:41 He didn't want to come, cited a whole bunch of excuses. People stopped me in the street to talk about that. Are you serious? You really invited someone. Genuinely, wait for a sandwich. A woman came out to being like, Jess, I love your show. But I just had to say that story. You are an idiot.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Are you serious? I like genuine. I went, wow, I was really, I really missed the mark. I think it's because you were so adamant. Like when I was saying, why would you do that? You were so adamant. I was a staunch. Yeah, you were like, if he wanted to catch her.
Starting point is 00:50:10 Yeah, yeah. He should have come to the party. It was a lovely affair. Not if you didn't know anyone, nor your kid. It was a Sunday morning. He knew me and Angus. He, I would have introduced him to you. You.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Anyway, he was back in town. I would have backed all that conversation so fast. Oh, great tomorrow. What's my child doing over there? He was back in town, right? Yeah. Recently. And he said, hey, I'm back in town again.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Freak is back, baby. You want to catch him? Why did he bother messaging you again? This is now on him. You know why he knows? Because there can't be another second birthday party. Surely I can get her on her own. I went, oh, would love to catch up.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Here we go. But my daughter's going to be with me. It's blowing a gale So I don't know where we're going to go At 4 o'clock of an afternoon Do you want to just come over? He was like, all right, no worries. And what I want to say to everyone who had a go at me
Starting point is 00:51:00 About why would you invite him, blah, blah, blah, He would have been great value Because all he did when he came over, Ducko Is listen to freaking Emma Mema This is one of her absolute bangers I've got for you And dance around my living room With Lucia He is a great uncle.
Starting point is 00:51:19 He's got like three nephews and nieces. Yeah. All he did. Did you say, why didn't you come to her second birthday? I did. He goes, I still stand by not wanting to come. Yeah. On a Sunday morning.
Starting point is 00:51:29 It's one-on-one with you and your daughter and just, you know, dancing and playing. But it's another being at a kid's birth. Man, I have a child. The kids' birthdays suck. I appreciate him dragged. Bab's got a lot more MMM. He didn't want her playing underneath.
Starting point is 00:51:41 We got the picture. Yeah, Eminemana. People love her. Aria for them. Best Children's album. But anyway, I just went, you could have come and enjoyed. This was the right thing to invite him.
Starting point is 00:51:54 And he's standing around my living room doing jellyfish dancing. But he didn't want to come. And he even acknowledged that. So what you're saying is everyone was right. No, I still stand by he should have come because he would have been the children's entertainment. No, that was shy guy. I can't top this.
Starting point is 00:52:10 No. How can you top this? I can see you dancing to Eminem. He had like a good blob action going on. It's funny though, because I did message him. like had the tour, he was here tour managing Tim Minchin and he goes, he hasn't replied. I reckon he's cut me out of his wife.
Starting point is 00:52:22 I don't think there's a third catch-up. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko's 10K Alpha Bucks on hit. Yep, at the time of the morning again, we can hopefully give away some cash. 30 seconds to answer 10 questions, all starting with the same letter. I have to take your first answer.
Starting point is 00:52:37 You cannot use the same answer twice. And if you're unsure of the questions, say pass. We come back, of course, if there is time. Stepping up today. We have Shannon. Hello, Shannon. Hello, how are you going? Shannon, we couldn't be better for a Monday with 15 shows left.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Oh, yes. Of Ducko's time with us. It feels like a nice milestone for you to win 10 grand and him to have to pay you direct. Yeah. What do you want to do with the money? I want to buy a new ride-on-lawful for my partner and take the kids on a holiday. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Love it. Let's get a ride on it. Let's get a John Deer, hey? Love it. Shannon. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:15 Yeah, Shannon's so sad I'm leaving, aren't you, Shannon? It's just hard to speak. Look, my kids are counting down the days until you're leaving, actually. Not for the fact that you're leaving. They're counting down the days because they were going to meet you. Oh, see, you worded that really. That sounded so brutal. You're like, my kids are counting on the days, so you get, you're gone because they like you.
Starting point is 00:53:39 It was just a, when's the new guys starting? Shannon. So you said that in a positive way, Shannon. Sorry. No, no, if anything, it's nice. I get it. I'm glad we clarified quickly. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:50 We'll tell your kids, I said I'll miss them too. Yeah. Okay. I will do. Shannon, let's get your 10 grand. The letter you're going to work with is F for future, okay? Perfect. All right, your time will start after the first question.
Starting point is 00:54:05 Starting with the letter F, we need you to name. A baking ingredient. Flower. A female actress. Pass. A chocolate? Pass. A drink.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Santa. An adjective. Pass. A band. Flowrider. A school subject. Pass. An occupation?
Starting point is 00:54:35 Past. A country. Past. Something in the bathroom? That was horrible. Yeah. I mean, we've had tens before. You've got two and one wrong, which obviously eliminated everything from the get-go.
Starting point is 00:54:54 But a female actress, Florence Pugh, a chocolate could have been a fredo, an adjective fast. A band, you said Flo Riter. I appreciate Flo Riter. He does a lot of work, but he's an individual. He's one, dude. Yeah, I knew it wasn't. Yeah, school subject, French or film and occupation, a finance manager, a country, Fiji or Finland, something in the bathroom, anything, face wash, face mask. Ask Fred, whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:55:17 You could have said flowrider there. You could have said flow, I would have taken flowrider in your bathroom, Shannon. Look, you do not get the money, unfortunately, but you do get $100 to spend at minks adult boutique. That's perfect for Christmas. This is why her kids hate you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Instead of getting daddy a lawnmower. You've given her.
Starting point is 00:55:34 Got money a bunny rabbit. Did we get a pet? Sort of. I've already got two dogs and one's pregnant, so I don't need any more pets. Oh, well, all the best to you're pregnant, dog. Hey, Shannon, great to chat. We had a good chemistry. Tell your kids, you know, I said hello, and it's all sad.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Tell your kids, I'll still be here if they're interested. Thank you. Shannon hates us. I still don't know if it was positive. My kids are counting down the days. Because they like you. Oh. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Oh. I think Shannon got nervous. I think she got a bit nervous. We do freak people out. Yeah. We do. Hey, up next, I'm asking one of the great questions. You will not believe what happened to me after I worked Christmas party.
Starting point is 00:56:25 I know I've spoken about it a bit, but I've kept the detail out of the entire team. Something that happened to me. I love what you do that. It's going to be a bit of fun, mate. We're all the kids out there, counting down the days until I leave. Well, you're on 15, you little brats. Jess and Ducko. I'm going to miss when I leave.
Starting point is 00:56:40 I'm going to miss the rice cookers desperately, you know. Like, we, I love our audience. There is no better group of people. We're getting in radio long enough now, Ducco, you know, various places. But this community around us, God, we're lucky. And they understand the assignment sometimes. So this is a main, this moment happened to me after our Christmas party, and it actually made me sad that I was departing.
Starting point is 00:57:05 For one thing, someone did, okay? So we've had a Christmas party. We started at midday. It's like a nice day, obviously. It's, you know, a few drinks are flowing. As we know, Babs was very intoxicated. She's mixing drinks. Like she's 19 when she's the ripe old age of 24 and can't handle that.
Starting point is 00:57:20 Me and Bansit tequila shots, in we, Barbara? How was that? So fun. Yeah, fun times. Good bonding too. What's the one where, you know, you usually lick the salt, drink it? Yeah, but what's the one where you like snort the salt, squeeze the lime in your eye? Whatever it is in the eye.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Were you doing that one? No, goodness gracious, no. That's silliness. Safe to say I was quite merry. It had a lot of fun. And then it got to the point where the sun went down or was going down and I was like, I need to depart, like, I'm done. There's always that time in the night, Ducko.
Starting point is 00:57:50 Yeah. You know? Do we continue on? Yeah, it was good. As my father always says, nothing good happens after 2 a.m. No. But when you've started at midday, that becomes like 7.30 p.m. And I was about 8 p.m. And I was like, oh, I've got a big day tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:58:02 Then you remember that you've got to be a father as well. And you start to, I've been on the source for eight hours. Anyway, Babs, apparently I came up to Babs. Yeah, Babs, can you describe what happened upon Ducko's departure? I just hear Babs. Babbs. I said, yeah. And Ducker goes, I'm going home. Don't tell anyone. And then what did he do? See, I felt like, he ran away. I literally hightailed it. I just love the idea. Out of the venue.
Starting point is 00:58:30 And then running away. See, I feel like I didn't need to tell anyone. But Babs, I had a responsibility. I was like, maybe she'll worry that I'm gone. Obviously, she wouldn't have. But I just wouldn't have. I felt with the last two team members standing. So I had to do it. Anyway, I probably live 2K from the venue, right? And in my smart mind, I thought, I'll just, I'll walk slash run home because this will be a good time. Well, you ran out of the venue. You thought, well, now I've got to jog on. I'm jogging, right?
Starting point is 00:58:55 I'm jogging, and then I start walking a bit. Then I'm jogging. And then I get my phone out. I start playing music loud on my phone while I walk running because like, why not? It was like your own farewell montage. It was a bit like that. Because you're along the coast and you're just thinking, wow. I was feeling very sentimental.
Starting point is 00:59:10 And I had a lot of chats with people or whatever. and then one of the greatest moments, I'm going to put this up there as top, top five moments of my life. Wow. Yeah. Like, it's like birth of child, wedding, something in this show, and then this thing. I'm glad we're in there. Yeah, yeah. We've had some laughs.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Yeah. A car pulls up. I'm jogging. At this stage, I'm jogging pretty slowly. And I think I'm like, like, I look pretty dishevelled. But you've got Rufus blaring on your phone. Of course it was Rufus. And, uh,
Starting point is 00:59:40 And then a guy once at his window and he goes, hey, big wheels, where are you off to? Yes. Not a guy who'd been at the pub, literally, just driving past, spots you on a slow jog. Yeah, shout out to Scott, who then gave me a lift home. Hang on a minute. How far are you at this point from your house? I reckon I'm halfway.
Starting point is 01:00:05 So it's at this point where I'm regretting. I'm looking at Uber almost, just going, I don't want to do this anymore. Maybe I need to... Bit hilly. And I was very harsh, and I was on the precipice of vomiting. And then... When he said, hey, Big Wheels, where you going? Was he offering you a lift, or did you just get in the car?
Starting point is 01:00:20 No, no. Then it was that moment I realized he was a call listener, because only someone who would call me Big Wheels would be a cool listener. They know. And I laughed, and I said, I'm just going home from the Christmas party. He said, do you want a lift? Oh, my. It was, I don't stranger danger, but I was like, I feel like you're not a stranger.
Starting point is 01:00:34 I feel like, if you're calling me Big Wheels, you're a friend of mine. Well, that, you've just let everyone in there if you want it. If you want to kidnap Ducco, big wheels. It doesn't take much. Big wheels, get into this van. That's the equivalent of like, hey kid, I've got candy. It's to Ducco. Hey, big wheels.
Starting point is 01:00:48 Hey, me and Scott got in the car. We cruised home. He drove me the 980 meters. Oh my God. Did you try? Can I connect to your sound system? I want to try the nine minute. He knows where you live.
Starting point is 01:00:58 Yeah. Well, there's that too. Yeah, there is that. I did. I woke up through houses before. I told my wife the next day and she's like, so you got in a lift with a stranger and he knows where you live. I'm like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:08 When you put it all together, honey, it doesn't sound great. Yeah, but then honey, the big wheels, the big wheels. But if he ever sees a survey book, well, he's going to tick it. Did you tell, Morgan, we're out of here in 14 days? It doesn't. It's my farewell to her. Give me a lift. So I wanted to do on 131060, who'd you get a lift from?
Starting point is 01:01:27 Have you ever had a lift from a stranger? Oh, I mean, well, I mean, with now your Uber's and your taxis, technically we're all doing it. We're all doing it. With strangers. We've got their little picture on our phone. Yeah, yeah. Have you ever been just randomly picked up? Hey, man, have you hitchhiked?
Starting point is 01:01:42 Yeah, I've never done that. I remember saying, you know, my parents when I went to Eastern Europe, I was like, I think we might hitchhike. And my mum was like, well, give me your passport. You are not doing it. That's not the place you want to do that. But have you done it? Have you been the person with the cardboard?
Starting point is 01:01:53 Yeah. You know, saying Canberra? Canberra. And someone's drove you to Cambrough. Big wheels, I'll take a lift from you. Oh, I can't imagine that. Yeah. Give us a call. Who have you picked up?
Starting point is 01:02:03 Have you picked up? Have you hitchhiked? Was it post Christmas party? are you, Scott? Did you live to tell the tale? Scott, don't come to my house. Don't rock up with no pop-ins, Scott, no pop-ins. I got it and I was like, honey, no one's ever going to give me a lift home. She was like, what are you talking about?
Starting point is 01:02:21 Jess and Duckow. Who did you get a lift from? Did you give a stranger a lift? Did you get in a stranger's car? Not endorsing it, but I did it on the weekend. I know, it's one of those things. We teach our kids stranger danger, ducco, and there's you. You get one little, eight big wheels, and you get a little,
Starting point is 01:02:36 in a stranger's car. Seems like a nice person. It was after the Christmas party, I'd pulled a runner after telling Babs that I was leaving. Just creeping up behind Babbs while she's having her, just living her best life. Yeah, yeah. Perhaps Babs, I'm going to go.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Couldn't care less. So you just kept it away. Just thought she'd be worried. With the bright idea to run home. I felt like Babs was like my like little sister at the party. I needed to protect her, but she was kind of like, get away from me. Get away from me, dad.
Starting point is 01:03:00 Leave me alone. Anyway, I then ran home. I lived 2K from the venue. And about halfway, I really. I realized it was a bad idea. Yeah, you ran out of steam. To be fair, you'd been fuelled by porcetta and tequila shots. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:11 That's not a good combo. I was on the precipice of being sick. And then some guy pulls over and says, hey, big wheels. It was Scott. Where are you off too? And then we had a bit of chat. I got my car. He gave me the 900 metre lift home.
Starting point is 01:03:20 And it was the best thing ever. I love the idea that you're able to get yourself home, though, because in that state, very chitty chaty. Yeah, it was a bit tall. You know what I mean? It would have been easy to miss the turn left here, Scott. Yeah. You made it home.
Starting point is 01:03:32 You live to tell the tale. I can't quite remember what Scott does. He did tell me. And to be fair, you're not great with names. Are you sure it was Scott? Could have been. Who know? It could have been Sam.
Starting point is 01:03:43 We got to Michelle on 13, 1060. You gave someone a lift, Michelle. Yeah, we were at a Robbie Williams concert about a couple of decades ago now. My girlfriend and I, we've seven kids between us, and we were walking to our car at the end. And four guys followed us, and they're like, you're driving. And we're like, yeah, we're driving. and they're like, we were sort of a bit concerned they were following us, but everyone was walking. And they're like, we give it the lift, and they started offering money just before Uber.
Starting point is 01:04:10 And it started at a couple hundred. And by the time I got to 500, I said, we have to consider this. How far did they want to go to, Michelle? Like, was it really out of your way? Or was 500 an absolute windfall? We were coming back to Newey. So it was like, oh, they wanted to go to Star City. So they piled in a car and the whole way there down Oxford Street and stuff.
Starting point is 01:04:30 I'm like, we've got seven kids between us. You just have to promise you'll behave and, you know, don't do anything wrong. Anyway, we got to Star City, you're up to them off, and they handed us $500. Wow, they actually did it. Oh, my God. Well, yeah, yeah, smart for Michelle. Show me that you got the cash. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:45 Our husbands were, like, furious. I bet they were. You gave three random guys a lift. Yeah. But, 100. Dinner's on Mummy tonight. That does feel like it could be problematic, but see, another success story. I think Michelle invented Uber.
Starting point is 01:04:57 I think she is. Peter, good morning to you. How are you? Fantastic. Have you given someone a lift, Pete? Yeah, well, I didn't. I actually, me and my wife, when we were younger, at Belmont, we were trying to get the Charlestown at the time,
Starting point is 01:05:10 and I was, we were hitching together, like, and no one to pick us up, and I thought, look, I'll get my wife to stand out, and I'll hide behind the buffshel of things, so they don't see me. And the next thing, I'll see this truck coming up to hill with a couple boats in it. I've never seen a truck come from the fast,
Starting point is 01:05:24 the fast lane over to the side of the road so fast. Oh, like they've ripped over to time pick up. Yeah, they thought, oh, I thought, Oh, look at this beautiful girl. We'll pick her up. They're like, straight off the side of the road. And then I appeared, and they were like, oh, what are you doing? I said, I was waiting for someone to pull over for us.
Starting point is 01:05:41 Wait, so did they still want to take both of you? Yeah, they don't know, given us to live, well, lucky. But, yeah, I think they're so disappointed. How creepy would it be if they went, nah, we're not going to do it now. We only got one seat. I can see two. Nah. And how was the ride with them?
Starting point is 01:05:57 Was it all right? Yeah, it was all right. They were pretty good, blokes. But, yeah, I think they're just, like I said, they're just so disappointed. I appeared out of the bush. Here comes Peter. Good strategy, though. It feels less problematic picking up a female than it does picking up a male,
Starting point is 01:06:09 picking up both. But it's, yeah, that's, um, they're just fraught with disaster. All of these situations are fraught with danger. Absolutely. All success. Not everyone has found. Scott. No.
Starting point is 01:06:18 Gunther, good morning. Hey, how you going? Excellent. Have you given someone a lift or were you the one picked up? Honestly, I'll give a bit of a backstory. My family have always picked up. up hitchhikers and it was something I grew up with so I've done that until I've started my own family and thought yeah probably a good idea not to do that yeah I'm gonna stop this
Starting point is 01:06:38 yeah yeah yeah but anyways um we were on our way to go pick our dad up from prison we went and picked him up he look look to be honest he looks like a rough look and do tattoos on his face one arm and on our way home we picked up a hitchhiker because he was going our direction anyways and your dad's like I've just gotten out of the locker let's pick up this guy But I mean, he started this tradition. Dad was just like, do not let him walk. Like, give the man a break. Let's do it.
Starting point is 01:07:07 Anyway, turns out he is Ivan Malat's relative. So it was a good conversation. No. No. Yeah. How does that even come up? And then when you were driving, you found that out. Yeah, who asks?
Starting point is 01:07:20 Like, you got any famous cousins? Yeah, why did he bring that up? That's not something. If I was a hitchhiker, I wouldn't lead with that, you know? No, see, because that's the funny thing. Dad was telling him a story for when he was. a young bloke and when he got hit um picked up and dad to this day still believes it was Ivan Miller and a relative who picked him up when he got out of duty when he was a lot younger
Starting point is 01:07:39 um so when dad was telling the hitchhiker this story i think it's more of a don't muck with us oh i see i see and then he was like no way i'm related to Ivan milat and we're showing us photos of when he was growing up with Ivan milat what he was an older gentleman so It was funny. So maybe an uncle or a... That is spooky. And you were just there driving going, what have I done? Wow.
Starting point is 01:08:06 Why are we doing this? Why do we pick him up? Wow, thank you. I mean, it was the relative. It was like it wasn't. I know, I know. Thank you. No, that's, that's, wow.
Starting point is 01:08:13 Julie, on 131060, wrap this one up for us. Who did you get to live from? Okay, so it wasn't me. It was my auntie. And this was back in the 80s. She picked up these two Swedish tourists who were hitchhiking. We live in a rural community There was nothing there
Starting point is 01:08:30 There was nowhere to stay It was coming on dark So she said Come and stay with me And they camped in her backyard For the weekend And I'm pretty sure She still gets a Christmas card
Starting point is 01:08:42 From them every year Really? My God How neat is that Yeah That's amazing Like I love the idea She went
Starting point is 01:08:49 These chicks need somewhere to crash Stay with mine Yeah And then like a lifelong friendship Out of it Yeah It's super cool What year do you reckon this was, Julie?
Starting point is 01:08:59 What, sorry? What year do you reckon this was? Oh, it was in the 80s, so... See, more trusting back then, you know? Yeah, yeah, exactly. You do it now. See, there you go. All great success stories of picking out randoms.
Starting point is 01:09:12 I like that's your interpretation. I encourage you to go get a lift from a stranger. I encourage you not to. Could be I'm a lot's cousin. You just never know. Don't do it. We were jesting about getting lifts with strangers as well after my Christmas party shenanigans, but some random picked me.
Starting point is 01:09:26 up. Well, he was Scotty. He was a great guy. Yeah, you're connected in the, what, three-minute journey home? Yeah, it was good. But, you know, all jokes aside, don't actually get a lift with rent. No, no, don't do that. Don't do that. Unless it's Uber or a taxi or a lift or a D-D. Yeah, yeah. And you screenshot that and you send it
Starting point is 01:09:44 to your partner who's waiting. We just had a bit of fun. It was a bit of fun. What did you look at around? Scott walking down his window and yelling out, hey, big wheels as you're like soaking in the last opportunity. opportunity before you chuff off. Yep.
Starting point is 01:09:59 It's pretty funny. Come on, good times. I knew I could trust him. But hey, we need the little monsters out now because Shaga also invite you to his monster ball. That's right. Gaga is in town. Yep.
Starting point is 01:10:09 She's bringing the Mayhem ball to Acorn next week. Next week. We've got double passes every day. Every single day. We're going to play the one second song game. We're going to play one second of a specific Lady Gaga song. You just need to call us 13, 10, 60 and tell us what that song is for your chance to be there. Babs, you need to rack them up.
Starting point is 01:10:25 Because if the first person doesn't get it, we're staying here. Rack them up, Babs. Till they do. Oh, yeah. There's no carryover. Hell no, no, no. We just stick around until you get it. Jess and Ducko.
Starting point is 01:10:36 Welcome to Monday. Now, we're having some technical ethium. We are. The whole premise of this game, the one second song game, is that we will play you one second of a Gaga song. People are anxiously standing by a bunch of little monsters. Unfortunately, our system doesn't want us to just play one second. I reckon it's bristling against you. You only want to play one second.
Starting point is 01:10:57 No, no, you play three whole minutes. I was like, no, for the game, we need one second. I've lost all control of all my buttons, all my sound effects. So we appreciate everyone who is holding on and still calling. What do you want to do? Go to ads? We can play Ray and we'll play the game out of Voxpro after that. That's technical talk.
Starting point is 01:11:14 But just play Ray and then we'll play the game after. So we're going to go to a song. Yep. And then we'll come back. We'll come back. Please bear with us. And then we'll do it next. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Oh, no. Hold on. Hold on. Yay! Hell yeah, Gagos. Hi, it's Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga! She is coming down,
Starting point is 01:11:34 just being, be and, me, and song, game. Hell yeah, Gaga. She is coming down under the Mayhem Ball, A-Col Stadium, December 12th and 13. Tickets and info, of course, livenation.com.com.com. but we have a double pass every day, Ducko.
Starting point is 01:11:55 Yeah, we do. We're just going to play the one second song game. You and Shy Guy furiously working. Hopefully we can get this sorted for you. We go to Heather. She's on the line first. Good morning, Heather. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:12:06 All right, Heather. We're going to play you one second of a Lady Gaga song. We don't need the artist because we know it's going to be Gaga. You identify the song and you get a double pass. Are you ready? I'm ready. Okay, go we go. A pause.
Starting point is 01:12:21 Jesus Christ Well, that was fast You did say We wanted keen and passionate little monsters I think we might have found the biggest All of those technical difficulties just for four seconds
Starting point is 01:12:37 I'm so excited But that was a hell of a four seconds Heather Well done It's been a hot minute since Gaga Was in Australia Have you ever seen her life? I have in 2010
Starting point is 01:12:49 Oh there you go Money, 10. Oh, my God. Well, you are going to be there, babe. Who are you going to take with you? Maybe daughter or husband. Gaga's out there, so I don't know. Maybe daughter.
Starting point is 01:12:59 She really wants to go, so I might take her. You got to take the daughter then if she wants to be there. I love that. I love that for you, Heather. You and your daughter. Thank you. You enjoy. Congratulations.
Starting point is 01:13:09 And we even tried to change the song thinking it would be a little bit harder because the first one was too easy. There are plenty of people still holding on. We're going to do it again tomorrow. We need to get harder. We need to get more niche. and even maybe less of a snippet. Well, I mean, it's called the one-second song game.
Starting point is 01:13:24 We want to call the half-second song game. Yeah. All right. Adjust the opener. We'll play again tomorrow, not necessarily at the same time. No, we're different. So join us from 6 a.m. Yep.
Starting point is 01:13:34 To find out where we're playing to win another double pass. It can be any time, any day. Oh, God. Fast game's a good game. I can't believe that. It's just funny, the amount of technical issues we had, and she gets it within two seconds. Ah, well, you get that.
Starting point is 01:13:47 Well, well, done. We played again tomorrow. Would you bloody look at the time? We've got to get out of here. To be honest, we thought we'd be here a lot longer, but we gave away the Gaga tickets within literally one second. Yeah. And we're going to do it all week.
Starting point is 01:14:00 Double passes to the Mayhem Ball. Sorry, I thought you had more to say that. I thought your eyes. Oh, look, we're already losing our secret code. I feel I can tell with the slightest shift in your shoulders, which is all I can see if you're going to play something. I was trying to, but my hockey isn't working. That's what I...
Starting point is 01:14:20 Yeah, yeah, which is why then it didn't work. Well, I'll let whatever he's about to play. Breathe, there's nothing there. Yeah, there's nothing there. See, the sound effects out another element to the show. My buttons are broken, so I can't play them. Oh, it's the fifth member of the team. It's a fifth member of the team.
Starting point is 01:14:32 But we've had... It has better chat than shy guy. You know? Can't argue with that. He's furiously emailing tech over there. And you would have had a great little thing to support that. I did. I did.
Starting point is 01:14:43 You know, anyway. You'll never hear what I was going to say. No, it's fine. But no, it's been a great show. if you did miss any of it, we're back tomorrow, but you can get the podcast on list and I'll review it, podcast, and we do have those Lady Gaga tickets tomorrow. All week.
Starting point is 01:14:55 All week. Great start. Good start, team. Strong start from the team today. Even though, you know, it's been a big weekend. You've got to love post-Christmas party office vibes. Been a fair few shippish people in the office. Like, everyone's kind of looking at each other like.
Starting point is 01:15:09 To be honest, Tucker, I hope they do hear this. I really thought I bonded with a few people, as you do. As you do at these events. Oh, yeah. I just walked through then with my most chipper. Good morning to my new besties. Didn't even get a look up. Got nothing.
Starting point is 01:15:25 Good morning. Well, it's because they're probably on a day three hangover and slightly anxious. Yeah, to be fair, I left at five, you know? The best year we ever had here was the year we had the Christmas party and no work on the Monday after. I thought you were going to say, the one you had in the board room. No, that was all the worst. It was a Christmas Christmas. It was a survey party.
Starting point is 01:15:45 Don't get caught up in detail. It was an all white party. first one thing. You all, we're in past. The Coltie crew really did a number on that one. But anyway, sorry. I think we just finished the show. And I think everyone else had one more week left up and work.
Starting point is 01:16:01 And we had the Christmas party on the Friday and then no work after. I was like, I'll see you all next year. Yes. Someone just in the kitchen as I was putting my dishes away and said, oh, it's going to be the longest 15 days left of the year. And I thought he meant, you know, because you're leaving. He just spent. He's still hung over. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:18 And it's a real stretch. It's a real stretch. To the Chrissy Brake. Just assume when everyone speaks about the time left in the year, they're speaking about my departure, yes? That's what I assume. But then we had that lovely lady at Alva Bucks saying her kids are counting down the days. Yeah, the day's time going, yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:31 Because they're sad. So there's mixed emotions. Well, I still think they're sad. I think she was just awkward. We'll leave it up to her and her children. Yeah, yeah. But tomorrow, 14. 14 shows left to go.
Starting point is 01:16:45 I mean, it's going to be what a time. Absolutely. We're getting stuff planned for that last week. Shirego, what crazy things you got? Nothing. I'll bring it a confetti can in there, worry. There'll be a little bit of fanfare. I care.
Starting point is 01:16:59 Would you like a confetti can't? Let's do that. A bit of audio package, fanfare, confetti can. This is like me asking what I want from my secret Santa. You just leave it to us and you smile when you get given it. It was pretty funny. I lost memory back up to the Christmas party again. Liam.
Starting point is 01:17:15 Your mate, Liam. Yeah, my conspiracy. He's like, he literally goes, like, yeah, Liam, he's a lovely dude, but he's super monotone. Yeah. And he's like, oh, are we going to have to do a walkout for you when you finish? Like a guard of honour. You know, like they do when some announcers, usually when they get like made redone or whatever. And I was like, I don't know, Liam, considering I'm leaving my own accord, maybe not, he goes, oh, good.
Starting point is 01:17:35 And I won't have to come in. Well, now, Liam. Were you there for that, perhaps? I'm going to get a guard of honour. Still worry about the audio package, but you get a guard of honour. and Liam will come in for him. That's all the star. Yeah, shy guy and Babs have gone to go get march up.
Starting point is 01:17:52 It was quite a sign of the time. It will be, it'll be me and Liam doing like archers and now arms. But you'll walk with him. I know Gabe would be there. Oh, that's right, but he's only one, so you'll have to go through his legs. He'll make the arch with him. Like a tumble ball. You're the ball.
Starting point is 01:18:07 I'm the ball. I'm just like crawling out of the office. Like, oh, this is really uncomfortable, guys. But yes, we have to keep going in front of each other. Like to continue the card of honour. Because budget cuts, etc. Exactly. I spent it all on the confetti cannon.
Starting point is 01:18:21 That's fine. Anyway. Anyways, you can see, we're on the wind down to the end of the year. We're back tomorrow. We'll see you then. Bye-bye. Bye. Look, my kids are counting down the days until you're leaving, actually.
Starting point is 01:18:33 Jess and ducco. That was the Jess and ducco podcast. The new macho range is here at McCaffee.
