Macca's delicious new Brekkie McGrath is even more reason for a pre-work Macca's run. Jess and Duggo! This is the Jess and Duggo podcast. Hi all, welcome to our podcast. Hey y'all. Hey y'all. How are we all going post-show today? Excellent. Just got a couple of texts in here. Is this worth reading out? No, probably not. Don't worry about it.

Oh, they're not good? Oh, it's just a longie. I thought, oh, is there something in this? But it's not particularly salacious. Unlike that guy who told us that time he was going down on his wife and told his kids he was popping a pimple once they walked in. That's the level of text I'll read out in a pod. I want more of those texts. I want more of those too.

0488881069. Text me anytime. We leave the studio around 9.30 a.m., but if you are listening to this at 1.30 p.m., feel free to text them. Text in. Text in at 1.30 a.m. When we see them, it's such a little gift. It's like Santa has been.

It really is. Don't you reckon? It's like getting a text on your own phone. Who's messaging me? And you're like, oh, let's see who this is. Let's see who this is. More often than not, I just get scam ones. And, oh, you're still subscribed to this.

You want 10% off your next purchase. I was like, stop. I'm trying not to spend money this year. Oh, that's right. How's that going for you, by the way? Really well. Okay. Really well.

I've not broken it. Okay. I'm so proud of myself. That's good. That's month two. Month two, basically down. Feb's nearly over. My issue is, Ducko, we've booked a trip overseas.

Oh, yeah. I like to buy things when I'm overseas. Well, that doesn't count, though. Because you're over there. Look at you change. Thank you. What, it doesn't count? Yes.

Thank you for justifying. Well, I feel like when you're on holidays, it's a bit different. Great, because I already was feeling guilty. One of our destinations is Milan, the fashion capital of Europe. I've never been to Milan, I don't think. No, neither, and I already was feeling guilty. One of our destinations is Milan, the fashion capital of Europe. I've never been to Milan, I don't think. No, neither, and I'm desperate to go. I've heard nothing good about Milan. No, neither have I.

I've heard all bad things. Our best mates were over the other day, and she was like, why are you going there? I went, they were only there last year, so she's got a recent experience. I went, what? I thought Milan was like bougie and beautiful. It's like Venice. I didn't fuck with Venice. Venice was weird. What am I paying Milan was like bougie and beautiful. It's like Venice. I didn't fuck with Venice.

Venice was weird. What am I paying €9 for? I did say camping though at Venice, which was not ideal. I don't recommend that to anyone. To use French, pardon moi. You went camping in Venice? You can stay about half an hour out of town. It's like a hostel, but it's like cabins and campsite kind of vibe.

In woodland sort of vibe? Yeah, pretty much. I had no idea that was even around. It looks like a hostel, but it's like cabins and campsite kind of vibe. In woodland sort of vibe? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, pretty much. I had no idea that was even around. It looks like a motel. And it was, we were backpacking. It was like an NRMA, you know, the super park. Yeah, the G'day Holiday Adventure Parks.

It was worse. When I think of Venice, I don't think of camping. Yeah, that's probably why I didn't love it too much. And then we would go into Venice. It's so expensive. I was 23. When I was in Venice, I went with, remember that's probably why I didn't love it too much. And then we would go into Venice. It's so expensive. I was 23. When I was in Venice, I went with, remember that Italian bloke I was with for a bit? He was from Rome.

We went to Venice for what was meant to be a romantic weekend. This is actually really bad, but he locked me out of our hotel room. Oh. Yeah. We had a big fight. Yeah. Oh, geez. Because I got my Facebook up.

Italians, man. Oh, bro. I got my Facebook up at one point, had messages, and I'd been flirting with the Frenchman back at the place. Wow. At the accommodation. And I thought, oh. Wait, you've been flirting with the, how did you have the Frenchman online?

As in, he had DM'd me. Oh, and you'd just been replying. Yeah. So. So you were flirting with another dude? Yeah. Yeah. I'm 19.

But I'm there with them. Just reacting like he just locked you out for no reason. Yeah, he did. That is no reason. I'm there. The gums almost moved. he just locked you out for no reason. Yeah, he did. That is no reason. I'm there. The guns almost moved. I'm there at the check-in and I open my Facebook,

saw there was a message. I went, if that's from Antoine, I don't want this guy to see it. So I didn't open it and I just put my phone away. This guy blew his shit and was like,

you're hiding something. I was, but he didn't know that. He stormed off to the room because you were. You said you were hiding something. I'm 19. We didn't know that. He stormed off to the hotel room. He said you were hiding something. I'm 19. We're just flirting. Christ almighty.

I thought you'd lock a girlfriend out of the hotel room for her. No, you wouldn't lock them out. You were on a trip with someone in Venice and you were messaging him. I'm 19. Imagine if we're also a person. He's messaging. I wouldn't lock someone out of a hotel room when I don't speak the language and he does.

You would blow up. I literally sat. I literally. I don't think that language and he does. You would blow up. I literally sat. I literally. I don't think that's what I would assume straight away. If you opened your phone and then closed the app, I'd be like, you checked it and closed it. He's obviously sus on you. 100%.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think he was just sus in general. Like everyone's against him. I sat in the corridor of this freaking hotel room at 2am in Venice being like, please let me in. It was a very low moment. Shock horror, I'm not with that boy. That didn't last much longer than the Venice trip.

Did he eventually let you in? He eventually let me in, but maybe that's why I don't like Venice because that is the story associated with that city. You need to go back. It smells. It was torrential rain where we went as well. And it floods too. All the canals flooded, absolutely.

And the Venetians know what they're doing. They lay the gangplanks all around so you can actually walk and get around. But it was just not my vibe. Could you have gone to the reception and be like, I've lost my card? I could have. But if someone's locked you out of a hotel room,

are you just going to walk in? I was like, that's not a situation I want to walk into. I need him to calm down and then maybe we can move forward. I wasn't just going to go, I'm in here now. She was outside messaging Antoine. That's right. I was like, this is why Antoine is looking a lot better. And then I went back and Antoine started throwing rocks at my window because I was off him too.

I think the common thread here is you. 19, live in my best. Don't try and clip my wings. It sounds like you both are on Antoine and this guy's name. Absolutely. He DM'd me the other day. Who, Antoine? No, the other one.

The Italian. Oh, he's back. And literally wrote, in another life, hey. And I deleted it and blocked him. How long ago was the other day? No, no. Oh, the other day? Yeah, yeah.

A week, a month? A couple months ago. Wow. Yeah, yeah. Just he replied to a story. And this would have been in 2000. He's obviously still thinking about you. Just he replied to a story. And this would have been in 2000. He's obviously still thinking about you. Not even replied to a story, he just DM'd.

I'm not private on Instagram. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That would have been in 2010. I was my second year of uni. Yeah, so 15 years, 14 years later. I wonder what made him do that. In another life, hey? I'm like, whoa.

Did you tell Angus or did you just delete it and move on? No, I just deleted it and moved on. Oh, no, I think I said, I was like, how's this? He's like, well, that's weird. Did you reply? And I went, no way. I'm not engaging whoa. Did you tell Angus or did you just delete it and move on? No, I just deleted it and moved on. Oh, no, I think I said, I was like, how's this? Yeah, yeah. He's like, well, that's weird. Did you reply? And I went, no way. I'm not engaging with that psycho.

In another life. In another life. Well, he's obviously thinking about it. Did you have sex with him? Yes. Obviously, he's like, ah. 19, baby, living my absolute best. Where's she gone?

I need her back. Yes. Oh, I love that idea. Can't stop thinking about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It must have been so good. This is pre-your just. This is pre-me being a staff here. This is pre-staff. To be honest, I love that idea. Can't stop thinking about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It must have been so good. This is pre-your just. This is pre-me being a staff.

This is pre-staff. To be honest, I never, ever. I can look myself in the mirror. I know I've never been that. They could have loved her? Well, obviously I'm a great companion, but I've never done much work. Sounds like you're not a good companion either because the longer you're out. 14 years later, he's obviously still got, you know, on the brain.

So even when you were 19 and young and dumb, you were still not just. I can't remember, but my memory's not that great. Maybe. Maybe. I don't know. You don't really know what you're doing back then. It's a smash and grab, isn't it? I've never been.

It's a pump and dump. What a delicate way to put it. I've never been into watching those sort of movies, so I don't know what I was doing. I was making it up. Like watching Peon? Yeah, exactly. You've never watched Peon?

No. Or like some, but not actively. Show guy, give her your subscription. Can I have your top ten recommendations? Websites or? Whatever you think I should learn from. Yeah, exactly. You're making it up.

You don't know what you're doing. Yeah, I remember the first time going, legitimately snorkeling on someone. And how'd you know what you were doing? Fucking no idea what I was doing. No idea. There's a lot going on. Absolutely there is. You know what I mean?

He's making it up, hoping for the best. So much head noise. Oh my God. Pardon the pun. Yeah, yeah, bet you. So much where you'd be going, do they like it? To what about it? And when you're younger, as if you're not confident enough to go tap on the shoulder,

hey, stop that. Yeah, yeah. Do this instead. Yeah, you're not. You're not. Why would you? I've had to be only with Angus in my most secure relationship have I felt confident to give feedback, ask for what I want.

Yeah, yeah. Because you don't feel good to do that with someone new. And even then it still hurts. Absolutely. Yeah. Because then you're worried about hurting them. Yeah, correct. You know, inflate.

Do they like what you like? Absolutely. Babs, you don't want to weigh in any time. Feel free. Why come on the mic if you're not about hurting them. Yeah, correct. Do they like what you like? Absolutely. Babs, you don't want to weigh in any time. Feel free. Why come on the mic if you're not going to contribute? Come on, Babs. That's the question I'd ask. I'm learning.

You're lurking, aren't you? I'm lurking. Lurking or learning? Learning. Ask for what you want. It'll change your life. Yeah. It's a game changer.

You don't have to just put up with it, you know? Sure. She knows this from way back. You guys have lived big, like, long lives. Yep. Has Jethro ever tapped you on the shoulder being like, don't do it this way instead? Yeah, yeah.

She just won't. Are you open to feedback? Come on. Sure. Have you ever had a tap on the shoulder being like, I prefer it this way? I don't actually think I have had someone say that. You've never given a feedback card? Could you fill this out for me?

A review? A survey. How are we meant to get better if no one gives us feedback? I don't think I have. I don't reckon I have anyone say that specifically. The other day our boss pulled us into a meeting room and made us listen back to our own work. Imagine if we did that with partners. How much better we would get.

Have you filmed it and then watched it back? Absolutely. Have you genuinely ever filmed yourself and watched it back? Yeah. I have done that too. With the partner or solo? No, no, with the partner. How bad is it watching it back?

It's so bad. That's why I think. It's so, you're like, oh my God. Oh, I look like that. Oh my God. I did that very early days. Yeah, very early. That's been why I never watched those sort of movies.

Because I thought, it's horrific not being able to take myself out of the equation. It's so bad. It's so embarrassing. Because in the moment, you feel so good. You feel so good. The lighting guy does so much more. Yeah, the positions. The boom guy.

The boom guy. Because in the moment, you don't feel any better. No. You know what I mean? But then you see it. You go, I shouldn't feel as good because that's what I look like. Should we delete that? Let's delete that.

Let's delete that and then delete. Lucky I did it pre-cloud. So it's not like there's some. Yeah, we did it pre-cloud. Yeah, it was a while ago. I wouldn't do it now. I appreciate why Babs would never do it because now everything's in the cloud. You have to.

You do do it. Why aren't you saying that? You film yourself. How did you do it pre-cloud? It's not like a video. Camcorder, baby. Like an SD card? Or even like Macbooks and stuff

used to have no cloud for a while when they first came out the cloud's a relatively new invention yeah yeah it used to be like yeah like a decade

but yeah camcorder yeah the VHS with the VHS yeah yeah JVC because that way you could turn the little thing you could flip around

so you could selfie so at least you could see when Jess's dad's getting the camera to show Nonda's wedding to the family and they go oh no she's 10 years old but it's a world to the Jessica.

Oh, no. Who's that, Nonna or my dad? You've met my dad. But, yes, you've got to be careful. You've got to pull the tab out. Make sure you can't be recorded. That's a deep cut generational joke. Please be kind and rewind.

I know what a camcorder is. Do you know about pulling the tab out? No. That's what I meant. Pulling the tab out means you couldn't tape over the VHS. You know that. On a VHS, there was a little tab and if you pulled that tab off, like literally broke this tab off, it was impossible to tape

over. So if you filmed this tape and you thought, this is gold, pull the tab out, can't be recorded over. Otherwise, they're reusable. Yeah, anyone can tape over anything. Anyone can tape over anything. Yeah. Oh, okay. I didn't know that.

There you go. There you go. But now with that cloud. Oh, with the cloud, everything's up there. It's too risky. Where does it go, Shaga? Us being D-list celebrities, that'd be hacked. Sold on the black market, held at ransom, I'm sure.

I'd probably leak mine. But you wouldn't admit it. Oh, what's this? Who did that? Yeah, yeah. I never said it was big. I never said it was big. I always said it was medium. But A for effort.

A for effort. He can do the rusty wheelbarrow. We'd like the publicity. Yeah. Why not? We don't have billboards in markets. No, no, no. That is our billboard.

This is the closest thing. Yeah, we don't have to do our own stuff. Oh, wow. How the hell did we get onto this? Babs. Enjoy the show. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Welcome to Tuesday Team.

Good bloody morning. Good morning. Oh, my God. February is slipping through our fingers. Oh, it's flying by, isn't it? Let's embrace every moment. Let's carpe the DM. We must carpe the DM.

Yes. Thank you for bringing this up. I drove past a van, a work van yesterday. Dudes were loading carpet into the back. Oh, yeah. And a bunch of equipment. What was the name? The company's name, Carpet DM.

That is great. Carpet DM. Carpet DM. Carpet the day. Carpet the day. I thought that was fantastic. Oh, that's funny. I'm so glad you just brought that up so beautifully.

I remember that, Van. That absolutely tickled me pink. Good. What hasn't tickled me pink, Ducko, is I've come in this morning and opened up our text line. Yes. Ready for another big day of texts. Yep. There's one here from 1.36pm yesterday

Okay, yes afternoon And I'm concerned for Anna Anna I won't read out her full name Okay She's text us 048881069 Hello, just confirming my time for my appointment today with Dr Tan

My name is Anna It's her name, thank you very much Oh, Anna, you're messaging the radio Anna, you've messaged the radio Let very much. Oh, Anna, you're messaging the radio. You're messaging Jess at Ducko. Anna, you've messaged the radio. Let's reply to her and say, hey, Anna. Hey, Anna. But she said today, i.e. yesterday.

So no one would have got back to her with her appointment with Dr. Tan. Anna, did you make it? Let's say, hey, Anna, Shy Guys, your masseuse all booked in for your tan or whatever they call them. Your tanner. Yeah. No, but Dr. Tan. Oh, do we call him Dr. Tan? Oh, yeah.

Oh. I suppose we could find where Dr. Tan is and see if she made it. I guess we could look up Dr. Tan. Poor thing. Did Anna make it? This is why we need to be manning this 24-7, Chaga. What are you doing after the hours of 11 a.m.? Do we know any more information about the text?

No. Why? Is it a doctor? Like a dentist? It says DR Tan. DR Tan. Oh, I'm not sure if it's a dentist. A dentist could be a doctor. There's a Dr Tan oral surgeon. Oh, like his last name is Tan. Yes.

Maybe that's what it is. That's what I was thinking. What were you thinking? Like a tanning doc. Like Dr Tan was the name of the spray tan. Oh, gotcha, gotcha. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some weird company. Oh, God. Like Carpet DM.

Yes. There's a couple of Dr. Tans, actually. Okay. Oh, they would be. It's a pretty common surname. Okay. So we're covering a wide array of specialties. We don't know what one Anna's after.

We'll reply back to Anna maybe at a more appropriate hour. She might not be up now. Say, Anna, you actually hit Jess and Ducko. Yeah. We've got no doctors in the building. We've got none, but... We'll reply back to Anna, maybe at a more appropriate hour. She might not be up now. Say, Anna, you actually hit Jason Ducco. Yeah. We've got no doctors in the building. We've got none, but we can help. Did you make your appointment? Yeah.

And can you confirm what sort of appointment it was? Yeah, let's find out. Let's find out. Someone else said they also want a recap of Shy Guy's Bucks weekend. Oh, that's right. We never got back to that yesterday. Yeah. I guess we touched on it.

Well, he said he told us everything there is to know about it. You're right. There wasn't anything to bought to us that he was yet to reveal. He said he told us everything there is to know about it. You're right. There wasn't anything to bought to us that he was yet to reveal. He said they didn't see any boobies. No. He said that you went to the casino. There was a bit of casino. Yep, you lost some money.

There wasn't too many apple ciders consumed. He woke up fresh as a daisy. I did. No fights. Went for a swim in the pool. Did you do anything to the buck? You know, make him wear something or do something. He had like weird sunglasses on. Oh, you crazy cat. Oh, that's just loose him wear something or do something. Yeah, we all had weird sunglasses

on. Oh, you crazy chat. Oh, that's just loose, man. You crazy chat. This is what this person wanted to hear. That's so comical. And when we were paintballing, we all got to shoot him. Yeah, yeah, that's great. You gotta do that. I'm annoyed you didn't come back with any welts on you. I have a couple.

I don't know where they are. They've sort of gone down. You hid in the paintball arena. Yeah, in the bunker thing. You'd be long and thin. I also upgraded my gun to a fully automatic one, which is an extra $50. Instead of doing the trigger like once, for each ball, you just hold it down and just

How many paintballs do you get through there? You get through a lot. I bought 1,200. How much does a paintball set you back? You get a thing of like $50, I think. Oh, like a car treat or whatever. A car treat of like $150 or $400. I can't remember what it is. It's about $300 on bullets.

Yeah, you do. Just a pelican friend. The game's like, oh, that's not expensive. Then you spend all the upgrades. Yeah, you get the bullets and you get the gun upgrade. And you need the box and you need the puzzle in there. Oh, their margin's on cups. Oh, mate.

On cups? Like cricket box cups. I brought my own. Oh, I margin's on cups. Oh, mate. On cups? Like cricket box cups. I brought my own. Oh, I thought you meant Johnson. I thought you meant, so can you not have a drink without paying for a cup? It was like. Did you BYO cups? Yeah, I brought my own Johnson cups.

Are you allowed to do that? Yeah. No outside cups. Bring it in from home. I know it fits right. You know what I mean? It would cost them eight cents on Timu to get and they sell for 20 bucks. I'm like, you could have spent a hundred.

I'd still buy it. I like bowling shoes, you know, where you can't be bringing in your own bowling shoes. You've got to hire them. No way. You bring in your own cups. 100%. I don't want to wear someone else's sweaty cup. No, it's brand new. It's not reused. I still brought my own. Mine fits well. I know it, you know. It's like a

mouth guard. We've survived a lot of times together. It's moulded to you. And they tell you it's brand new. Yeah, you don't know. Like at nail salons. Yeah, yeah, no worries. We'll just put it back in a resealable package. And did you put it's brand new. Yeah, you don't know. Like at nail salons. Yeah, yeah, no worries. We just put it back in a resealable package. And did you put it in between undies or just right onto you? Right in.

I've never worn a cup before. What's the technique? Two pairs of undies over one in between. Like sandwich it. That's like the ham. It was very uncomfortable. In your undie sandwich. Exactly.

Yeah, that's the meat in the undie sandwich. And it made it harder to, like, squat. Yeah. The cup? Yeah, just because it was, I don't know. A bit uncomfortable. Oh, right. Plus wearing, like, all the blue ammo. They aren't a comfortable design, but they do help, you know.

I wonder if anyone's working on that. Like, is there a gentleman out there who maybe went paintballing, maybe plays cricket and goes, there's got to be room for improvement in the cup division? Yeah. Maybe someone's working tirelessly to make that a bit better. Yeah, we should. I wonder.

We really should. Would a strap be better? Some sort of belt. Like a jockstrap. Yeah. Probably more comfy. Yeah. Harder to get on, I guess, but probably more comfortable.

What about a full brief with the cup built into it? Oh, yeah, built in. That would be, that's an idea. So at least you're putting it over your buttocks. Yeah, yeah. And everything. Yeah, yeah's probably more comfortable. What about a full brief with the cup built into it? Oh, yeah, built in. That would be, that's an idea. So at least you're putting it over your buttocks. Yeah, yeah, they were talking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then there's just a... And just like the front part is like really solid.

Yeah, like period undies where the pad is just built in. Yeah. We do that, but with the cup built in. That would be comfy. Patent, copyright, just duck a little work on it. Yeah, yeah. We're going to be millionaires. We're going to be rich.

Yes. Big show for the team, though. 10k Alphac, 630 and 8. We got that to be millionaires. We're going to be rich. Yes. Big show for the team, though. 10k Alphabets, 630 and 8. We got that. We got Year of the Song on the show today. We got more chances at our Call of Fame prize as well. That's right. 500 bucks to spend with organic skincare.

Mm-hmm. Misa. Misa. We got the name right today. Yeah, we did. Up next, though, there's a boy who's been in jail for 30 years. He came out, and the one thing that was surprising him is impersonating. Oh.

Vapes. No, not vapes. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. A guy went to prison 30 years ago for a crime he says he never committed has just been readjusting his life because he went to jail in 1994 over murder. However, new evidence with new technology has come out and they've overturned it, said he didn't actually do it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. 30 years. Imagine going to prison for 30 years for murder. Everyone's like, your world is crashed. You're done. You're done. And was that life in prison? Pretty much.

Was it meant to be? Meant to be. And then new evidence has come out. To give you an insight, 1994, the first ever Apple Macintosh computer was released. Oh my God. It was a completely different world. It just became legal to be able to tape TV shows with, like, your cassette, like, video cassettes and VHS. Oh, my God.

Let's not even get into how much he's owed in compo. Oh. Like, how do you even. Yeah. How do you even. Remember Kathleen Folbig when she was released? And there was that whole conversation, how much is she going to be owed. Yes. From the government.

I wonder how much she got. I don't actually know where that ended up. No, I didn't hear anything. We'll circle back. So this guy, sorry, and what country is this? This is in Maui. It's in Hawaii. Oh, it's in Hawaii.

So it's America. Like I said, 94, he went to prison. It was overturned because of new technology. But he said the one thing that has changed so much that he had no idea would be like this when he came out is people on their phones. Of course, because in 1994. Yep, no phones. There wasn, because in 1994. Yep, no phones.

There wasn't even mobile phone. Exactly. There would have been landline in the home, connected with a cord. You could do the twirly thing when you were talking to your crush from school. And now everyone has these devices in the back pocket. He must have got out of prison, gone to a Starbucks to get a coffee, and everyone in the queue just has tech neck and he's bending down like some sort of prehistoric creature.

That's what he said. He said seeing people bent over and bending down is the most bizarre thing. At first he didn't know what they were looking at, then he realized that they were mobile phones. Yes. And he doesn't understand. He's like, no one's interacting with each other anymore. Even the phrase mobile phone, like he would know phone, but nothing that was able to be

carried around. Yeah. He said that's the strangest thing. He said even going out getting a steak dinner, catching up with family, everything feels normal. However, seeing people on their phones is the weirdest thing. Can you imagine him going out for that steak dinner? He's out, you know, Bob's out.

Let's take him out for a great feed. And the young people in his family start taking the flat lay photo of their food. He tries to tuck in. His niece is an influencer. She's like, sorry, Bob, I'm just going to get this. Sorry, Uncle Bob. He's trying to tuck in. He hasn't had a decent meal for 30 years. And she's like, wait, wait.

Wait, wait, wait. Hashtag just released from jail. Hashtag free. Can I have the Wi-Fi password? Yeah, you want to know what Wi-Fi is? That's wild. Could you imagine being in prison 30 years ago? Back then, the first Ghostbusters movie just came out.

Oh, my God. He's not across the Kardashians. He'd have no clue who the Kardashians are. Goodness gracious me. Let alone all the real housewives. Oh, he wouldn't know. The housewives of Maui. Oh, my God, he's come out into the news,

because you know what was around before he went in? Neighbours. And then this week we find out after 40 years it's actually been canned. Again, it got cancelled and brought back and then cancelled again. It's actually now. That's actually the next thing he says, yeah, the most shocking thing is Neighbours has been canned. He knew Neighbours for 10 years.

Justice for Tony. What's Tony going to do now? He's not going to get another acting job. Jess and Ducko. There is a new aggressive baby name trend that is sort of sweeping newborns, but it is alarming experts. So Sophie Kim, she's the editor-in-chief at the website Nameberry. So it might be something you've come across before.

A lot of parents who are trying to decide on the name of an unborn child might have used the resource Nameberry. Literally lists names. You just scroll and scroll and scroll until one sticks out to you. And they track sort of data across generations so they can start to see the trends. And what they've noticed is since the early 2000s, aggressive weapons-inspired names are trending.

Like Wesson. Of course, Smith and Wesson is a gun brand. Oh, of course. Shooter. Oh, Shooter's just a plain name. Trigger. Trigger. That can't be a name.

Caliber. I don't hate Caliber. I don't hate Caliber either. Yeah, Caliber's kind of artsy. I know we have a men's clothing store called Caliber, spelt a little different. Yeah. But Caliper. clothing store called Calibre, spelt a little different, but Calibre. In recent years, we've moved away from guns and gone to dagger, cutter, blade, cannon, and even arson.

Arson. Yeah. Yeah. That's what daddy went to prison for. Let's call it after her. Firstly, you can't call your kid where your nickname's going to be arse. Like, we've got to be thinking about the future of this child once they enter primary school.

But what Sophie Kim, the editor-in-chief at that website, wants you to remember, you're naming adults. I know you're naming the cute little baby at the start. Trigger looks cute. Trigger looks cute. But Trigger then might be a dentist. And, you know, Trigger might have to say, open wide, sir. Yeah, yeah.

Pull the trigger. Pull the trigger, Dr. Trigger. Goodness me. Trigger might be on the board of a charity. I don't know if I'm taking someone named Trigger seriously talking about the welfare of other people. Your name's Trigger. Yeah.

It just makes me think of guns. Yeah. It's hard to say if these names have truly peaked in use because they are relatively new to the scene or if they're going to continue to rise and maybe 2028 will be the peak of weapons inspired. Seeing lots of triggers. A lot of triggers, a lot of daggers.

And this is the thing. She thinks that a lot of parents are going, it's Renegade. It's cool. Maverick is one of the top trending boy names for the past few years. After what? Top Gun? After Top Gun, particularly number two where they sort of had a resurgence in this new generation.

Is Rooster as well? Rooster is not on my list, but this is all aggressive names. I wouldn't say Rooster. Oh, it's not too aggressive. Maverick's a cool name though. Maverick is a cool name. Mav is the nickname. Come on.

Dutton. Stetson. Named after Peter. And Boone. Booney. Booney. is a cool name. Mav is the nickname. Come on. Dutton, Stetson. Named after Peter. And Boone. Booney. Booney. We know a Booney. Boone, Weston, Shooter and Stetson all sound like brothers, but that is a hardcore family

that I feel like you don't want to cross. Yeah. Yeah. Sounds like a Western family. It does. It does. Okay. So these are all names.

They're all names. Yep. Baby names trending. Yep. Granted, it's alarming experts, but hey, you do you, boo. Oh, we need to come up with something cool. All of these feel very masculine, but why can't your little girl be Remington? So if you didn't tell me Remington was a gun name, I'd be like, oh, yeah.

Yeah, Remington is a brand of gun. Yeah, I didn't know that. Yeah, yeah. Dagger. Mace. Dagger's to the point. I don't mind dagger. You don't mind dagger?

Dags will call her for sure. Dagsy. Dagsy. Dagsy. Isn't a dag what they call the poop that sticks to a sheep's wool? I made that up. What? A dag.

We need to Google that. I might have made that up. A dag. What is it called? That's so funny if it is. So we've got arse with arson and dag with dag. Is it dag? Dag's, yeah.

So what is it? Clumps of dried dung stick to the wool of a sheep. Mate, I grew up on a farm. Oh, it's dangleberries. It's like how we get dangleberries. Exactly. On our butt hairs. Exactly.

Oh, so sheep get them too. Oh, theirs would be way worse, actually, if you think about it. And they're called dags. They don't wipe. They've got nothing on them. Just call me Old MacDonald because I know my farms. So you nailed it, and you nailed it it and then you just went too much. It was good.

I wasn't getting enough kudos. I had to keep digging. I'm just in shock. Hey, let's play Apple X. Can we circle back to you getting dangle berries on your bum heads? Oh, everyone's had dangle berries. You're not living if you haven't. I've had laser down there, but I've had nothing.

You wouldn't chug it. I would, though. You need to. Yeah, I feel there's been an occasional. That's why we need bidets. Or at least wet wipes handy. Bad for the anus, though. Oh, you're right.

You're absolutely right. And I think they recommend don't do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you just gotta pluck them. Good, good. Always have tweezers on standby. Clarification. Tweezers on standby. Lara, forget it. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Jess and Ducko's 10K Alpha Bucks on hit.

30 seconds to answer 10 questions, all starting with the same letter. Have to take your first answer. Can't use the same answer twice. And if you're unsure of the question, just say pass. We'll come back, of course, if there is time. They're the rules we're playing with our player today. It's one of the great men. It's Scott. G'day, Scotty.

How are you, mate? Good. Scott, Scott, Scott. We've been waiting for you. Waiting on the edge of our seat. When's he going to call? When's he going to call? Today? Today is that day. What are you going to spend $10,000 on?

I originally said I'd put it towards the house deposit, but a boat sounds pretty nice too. A boat does sound bloody nice. Because you got through. You're like, you know what? Stuff it. I'm going to get a boat. This is something for Scotty.

Scotty's going to do all the work. Scotty gets a boat. Scotty wants to go fishing. Scotty wants to go sailing. Oh, yeah. Scotty can do anything he wants. Yes. Scotty doesn't know.

Scotty doesn't know. He's waiting for go sailing. Oh, yeah. Scotty can do anything he wants. Yes. But he doesn't know. Scotty doesn't know. He's waiting for it. He does it himself. Yeah. Scott, the letter you are going to work with today. What's he got? He's got V. Now, I don't know my boats well enough.

I don't know any brands. Any brands with V, Scott? Any boat brands? Yeah, some new boat. V for Venus. V for Venus. All right, let's do it. Maybe you can call your boat Venus. Oh, yeah. There you go. That might be nice. V for Venus. All right, let's do it. Maybe you can call your boat Venus.

Oh, yeah, there you go. That might be nice. There you go. All right, ready to rip in? Let's go. Your time will start after the first question. Starting with the letter V, we need you to name a brand. A non-alcoholic drink.

V. Velvet. Pass. Violin picture. Pass. Violet. Zodiac sign. Pass. A girl's name. Violet. A supernatural creature.

No, no, no, Scotty. Hey, we ended up with... No good. No good. We ended up with four. Four are the best. Four great ones, though. A brand could have been Versace. Something in the pantry could have been vinegar.

A Zodiac sign, Virgo. Everything else you got, you got correct. Look, Scott, you don't go away empty-handed. You get $100 to spend at People Hair Care just for you, mate. Lovely. Thanks very much. Thank you, Scott. It's not a boat, but it'll get a hell of a quiff.

Yeah. Oh, no. Your quiff will look fantastic. Yeah, it will. Thanks for joining the show, Scott. Thank you very much. Thank you. You can hear the disappointment. Scott. Thank you very much. Thank you. You can hear the disappointment.

He's mad at you. He is mad. He didn't even go back to Babs. He just hung up. He just hung up. He doesn't even want his people here. Babs, that means you get it, though. Scotty thought he was going to win it.

He was on site with the boys and he just went, ah. I'm taking the boys out on the boat. God damn it. I'm taking the boys to the barber. It was a gettable one, too. I didn't think it was that hard. That's all right. We live and we learn. We do. It was a gettable one too. I didn't think that was that hard. That's all right. We live and we learn.

We do. We try and get it out. Hey, there's something dumb happening online with the TikTok community. Oh, yep. And this isn't just us being old and looking at the youth going, we don't get it, shaking our fists. Well, to be fair, youth of the team Babs is like, it's so funny, this thing.

And we're like, wow. You are right. She did say it was funny. So there's a new thing. It's called dropping things on my foot. It's the trend where people literally. They're not putting much effort into these trending things. No, hashtag dropping things on my foot.

It's where TikTokers are making content, if you want to call it content, because I don't think you can use that word for this, where they drop things on their foot like toasters, TVs, air fryers, chairs, tables, anything they can, and they rank how painful it is. I've got an audio of a TikToker doing it. Oh! Call it, everyone. Call it, everyone.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That's a nine. That's a nine. That's a nine. Oh. What had he dropped in that one? I don't know what he dropped. A witch's hat.

A witch's hat. Upside down to the pointy end. Oh, the pointy end going. That's a nine, too. Oh, wow. Well, I can't imagine what an air fryer would be. Those things are humongous. Yeah, yeah.

People breaking their toes doing this. And their appliances. And their appliances. So it's just come out. People have asked why TikTokers are doing it. They're saying because it's funny and I love making content just like this. People basically just like seeing other people get hurt. And a podiatrist has come out, Dr. Benjamin Bullock.

Oh, God, the podiatrist would be up in arms. And he's just said this is going to cause you long-term pain or maybe a disability forever within your feet. I mean, they're just little bones there. They're just little bones. You're going to cause structural damage forever. Doesn't the foot have more bones just in that part of our body than almost everywhere else combined?

There is so much going on in the foot. I think so. And so much you can't operate on. I'm pretty sure Angus told me once that he'd broken a toe. I don't remember which one, but you can't operate on a little toe. So many things. So many tendons happening there as well. So many tendons.

So, again, if it doesn't heal properly, you've got long-term issues. Yep. This is so dumb. It's problematic. But it's the thing that's going viral right now, and people like Babs enjoying it, you know, loving it. I think it's really funny. Did you ever get into,

were you a family of Australia's funniest home videos? Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. See, because I guess the whole premise of that show, most of the submissions were people getting hurt. See, I don't mind people getting hurt when they don't mean to get hurt. It's like you're jumping on the trampoline and they fall off and hurt themselves. That's the difference. When you're seeing someone drop a toaster on their foot and rank the pain scale,

it's like, what are we? And that person's getting 3.4 million views, and then they're getting the teeth whitening kit. You're creating the pain. When the universe has put a boulder in your way and you trip over that, I can see the humour. I never really found the falling over or the hurt. People getting hurt.

Humour funny. I don't really, that's not my, that doesn't tickle me. But people do like, it's like. But doing it on purpose, you're right. Yeah, it's not as funny. It's like you're deliberately dropping this and hurting yourself. Absolutely. So of course you're going to have that reaction.

Your reaction isn't a surprise to me. Yes, exactly. Oh, we sound like such boomers, don't we? Oh, my God. I just don't get it. You sound very old. Oh, I don't get it. I want to see you drop a toaster on your toe today.

And drop my two-litre water bottle that is full. And then we'll rank it. That's easily. I think half of the appeal is that you don't know if it's going to hurt them or not. Sorry. Are you kidding me? Get in here, Babs. We're doing it live.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't know an air fryer is going to hurt your foot? Of course it's going to hurt. Well, some people don't react. They're just like, oh, that one actually didn't hurt. And you're like, oh, well, I would have thought it would, you know? Oh, give me a break. I want to see you do it, Babs.

I wonder what will happen if I drop a TV on my toes. Here I am. Let's test it out. Ah, that hurt. What? Is that the thinking? That's so... So you've watched a few of these videos then?

Yeah, I love them. I watch them all the time. Wow. Just the other day, Babs did a nice chat about how her generation's getting canned. I think I agree with Jeremy Clarkson now. Jess and Ducco. We were just talking about these horrific, well, in our opinion, dumb, dumb trend that's taken over TikTok with the youth. What did you say the hashtag was?

It was really creative. It was really left of center. Hashtag dropping things on my foot. That's right. People film themselves. And Babs was coming in saying, I think it's really funny. We were saying like, it's just so annoying. And we appreciate, man. People film themselves. And Babs was coming in saying, I think it's really funny. We were saying, like, ugh, it's just so annoying. And we appreciate as these

words leave our mouths, we feel a bit boomery. We feel a bit judgmental, but we cannot say the humour in purposefully dropping... Air fryers, toasters, TVs. Lava lamps, drink bottles. It's gonna hurt. Tanya, and Babs is trying to say, no, but that's the beauty of it. You don't know if

it is gonna hurt. That's the funny thing. Oh, I dropped a 60 inch on my foot. Oh, that hurt. That'll be the next one. They go into Harvey Norman and just start dropping. So they don't actually ruin their own product. Because obviously they're breaking your appliances. Tanya's just text through 0488881069 with an excellent contribution.

Yeah, what'd she say? She said, and these are the people that'll run the country one day. Can you imagine when they're on their campaign trails? Because you know right now. Babs has lost it outside. See Babs? Because you know now, Albo and Dutton, and people are obviously trying to dig up stuff from their past.

Old Facebook. Yeah, yeah, anything they can. MySpace photos from back in the day. They grew up beyond that. So we probably don't have records of it. And aren't they lucky? Granted, remember when, you know, the golden boy, the Canadian prime minister, people still found photos of him doing blackface.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because someone found a legit photo album. Yeah. So we always look for stuff. Always. When this generation goes into politics, there's going to be so much crap we can find on them. Yeah.

The PM, he once dropped a Samsung flat screen on his foot. And was surprised when he had to give it a 9.5 because it broke his toe. Yeah. And he'd probably still win. Yeah, probably. Anyway. Anyway. You want me to tell you about this thing?

Yes. So over the weekend, I had a third birthday party. Good girlfriend of mine, her little girl, celebrating. And her parents were obviously in attendance because, you know, it's the grandparents. They get to come to this party. And my parents were also in town. And Nicky, my friend, very kindly said, bring your parents.

It's fine. You don't have to leave them at home. I said, that's nice of you. And obviously, speaking of generations, I think they gravitate towards each other. So my parents have walked in and seen Nicky's parents. They're the same age. So they've sort of wandered over to introduce themselves,

being like, oh, these are my people. Yeah, yeah. I'll hang with you. The kids are playing. Our age are playing. So now the parents can go, the parents of the parents can go off and play as well. And my dad's introduced him to Nicky's dad and said, oh, I'm Rob. I'm Jess's dad.

And Nicky's dad's looked over to me and gone, Jess. Oh, my God. not Jess Faccione. I said, yeah, yeah, I haven't seen him since their wedding three years ago or something. We don't have much to do with each other. And my dad's like, yeah, yeah, Faccione, of course. And he goes, you're not going to believe how much your name comes up in conversation.

I said, I've not seen you for many years, Mark. What are you talking about? He goes, well, I have plantar fasciitis, which I had to look up. I went, I know it's a foot thing. That is inflammation of the tissue along the bottom of your foot. It actually can be quite painful. A lot of TikTokers getting that now too. I think so.

What a great connection. Maybe he's been doing this challenge. Yeah, that's the one where it feels like you're walking on nails. It's in the arch of the foot, yeah? Exactly. Yes, yes, yes. It's one of the most where it feels like you're walking on nails. They can't like, it's in the arch of the foot, yeah? Exactly. Yes, yes, yes. It's one of the most common causes of heel pain. Yes.

It's an issue. I'm sure podiatrists would be like, oh, it's one of the most common things we've been seeing up until this TikTok challenge. He goes, I've got plantar fasciitis, but I always say, oh, I've got plantar farchione. So I think about you a lot. Your name can be used for some fun things. And I'm like, you're not the first person to say that. Planet Fartchioni is a new

one. People often tell me when they're cooking fettuccine, they go, oh, get out a packet of Fartchioni. Fartministroni. Fartministroni, obviously, when people are making a soup. When I told you that story, that's what my best friend calls me. So I didn't realise how versatile my name was. That's so funny that he just locked in your name

because often friends and dads, like our friends' parents, usually the dads, don't even remember the first names as it is. Absolutely. Whereas he is thinking about me. I don't love the connection because obviously he's in pain and he's associating my name with his pain. But he's talking about it a lot. And he always says, planifacione.

It's got to be any publicity is good publicity in this instance. He's doing God's work. We don't have any billboards out. So we've got Nicky's dad walking around telling people, plan a farcioni. It's got to be any publicity is good publicity in this instance. He's doing God's work. We don't have any billboards out. So we've got Nicky's dad walking around telling people, plan a farcioni. Jess and Daco. Year of the song. So our guys picked a theme. He's told us it is artists with acronyms as their stage name.

Niche theme. Niche theme. Yeah. What inspired an acronym theme? I had another idea involving letters, but I couldn't execute it because there wasn't enough. All right. So we brought it. We didn't do anything on the SAG Awards recently with actors, maybe with singers.

Hey, that's an acronym. Yeah. Maybe we can crowbar it in. Yeah. But we've got a bunch of songs. We're going to tell you the year they were released. You can play along. 0-4-double-8-double-8-1-0-6-9.

Song 1. Song 1. T-L-C. T-L-C. Tenderloving Care. T-Boz, Left Eye and Chili. Oh, my God, that works. I didn't know that.

I thought it genuinely stood for tenderloving care. I get TLC confused with Destiny's Child a little better now and then. I know, don't I? I get that. I get that. I get that. Similar vibe. We're on it.

Cut from a similar cloth. We're on it. Cut from a similar cloth. We're on it. Okay, I know. Sorry, don't come after me, TLC fans. So, Waterfalls. This is a great... This is Waterfalls. One of the songs that we play all the time and a song that everyone knows, but I couldn't

tell you when TLC was big. The last time we did sort of an R&B skew, I got stuck in the 90s. I couldn't get my head out of the 90s. Because they have that 90s sort of vibe to them. And I'm going to stay in the 90s again I couldn't get my head out of the 90s. They have that 90s sort of vibe to them. And I'm going to stay in the 90s again. Are you? Yes. Okay.

Valet, Left Eye. Okay. Ooh. 2003, Baduggo, 1994. That's the furthest apart I think we've ever gone on a track. Jess with the correct answer, 1994. Oh, bang on the nose. I know my acronyms, baby.

Yeah, here we go. Song two. Every day I'm shuffling. Oh, LMFAms, baby. Yeah, here we go. Song two. Oh, LMFAO, which is laughing my freaking ass off. Yep. Is that on the record from Red Food? It's on the record from Red Food. Every day I'm... Is this Party Rockers?

Party Rock Anthem. Yeah, this was a great track. Oh, was it Brackets? Every Day I'm Shuffling. One of the horrible but great songs. When it comes on. It can't help but have a boogie. You said a moment in time when stringlets were a thing and bright colours.

Absolutely. Get your nipples out. Stereosonic. Oh, yeah. We love the speedo. Stereosonic. Tell me a festival I haven't thought about in a while. Yeah, yeah.

I did Curls for days. Was that the old one? Was that Stereo? No, Stereo's just a... Oh, what am I? Just a music festival. Yeah. Okay, what was I doing around this time?

I think I was coaching rowing. I'm going to lock in your last guess. I think it's later than that. I'm just trying to think of the year. I'm going to say... What were you wearing? Bang. Oh.

2011 for Darko. 2003 for Jess. The correct answer's 2011. Bang! What a piece. Here we go. Here we go. I remember coaching rowing and listening to my 91 Toyota Corolla.

Good times. In excess. Oh, definitely. Technically an acronym. It's just a shortened version of in excess. You assured us. You knew what an acronym was. Yeah, this came up on the billboard list that I researched.

This is not an acronym if each letter doesn't stand. This is one of their more controversial albums. Yeah, this is... This came up on the billboard list that I researched. This is not an acronym if each letter doesn't stand. This is one of their more controversial albums. Kick, sorry. This is one of their controversial songs from the album Kick. Have you noticed

Ducco doesn't want to hear us arguing about it? Neither do I. That's why I focused on him. Jeez, Devil Inside. When did Kick come out? They played this at Wembley. Sold out crowd.

Hello, Mr... Michael Hutchins. I had... Never Tear Us Apart as our first dance song. You love In Excess. Which is from this album. Morgan's parents always play the In Excess Wembley live in their house all the time. Is that a clue? It must be old as well.

It is old. Are we going to the 90s again? Yeah, I mean, Michael Hutchins. Are you telling me this could have been around the same time TLC released? Could be. He died from erotic auto-asphyxiation. Thank you for that. No stress.

What year do you think it came out in? Sorry, I've been too busy relling off facts. I need to get my... I know. I'm going to say... You know he dated Colin Oak for a bit. Jess is in at 96, Ducker's in at 97. The correct answer is 1988.

Oh, 88. Man, it was way older than I thought. Wow. ABBA. This I know acronym. Go on. It's the names of the people. Which are?

Agnetha, Benny, Bjorn, and I thought her name was Frida. So it can't be. Frida. Were they the ones that slept together? ABBA? Or was that Fleetwood Mac? The two couples were together, yeah. I don't like Abba.

I never have. Not a fan. Just don't get them. Okay, between you shooting shots at Abba, TLC, Destiny's Child. I know it's an unpopular opinion. I've never seen Mamma Mia either. Oh, don't see. If you want to see Pierce Brosnan sing, mate, I would rather put my life in that one.

Why did they cast those three blokes? You've got Meryl and Amanda Safery doing doing the absolute most. And then those three quotes. I know. Colin Firth shouldn't be in there either. Yeah. All right, I'm in. Oh, crap. I'm not.

Oh, this is, this is. I know. I've got the 80 town. Oh. You've got 70 town. 88 for Darko, 77 for Jess. The correct answer is 1979. Oh.

Okay. So it comes down to this. It does. It comes down to this. Come on. M-K- to this. It does. It comes down to this. Come on. M-K-T-O. Ooh, classic. This is a shortened version of their names.

M-K is Malcolm Kelly and the T-O is Tony Oliver. Back to acronyms. Good job. I can't remember when this came out. You throw a blanket over. M-K-T-O. You know who I get these guys confused with? Yes.

MGMT. Too many M's. Too many M's. What's going on there? get these guys confused with? Yes. MGMT. Too many M's. Too many M's. What's going on there? What's this song called? Classic. Classic. We play this a lot.

Can you call your own song classic? We do play it a bit, but I mean... This is like Timothee Chalamet calling himself a great. He wants to be one of the greats. Had the sag. Great reference. Thank you very much. When did this come out?

I mean, this is definitely in the O's, but like... Do you think you could throw a blanket for this one? Oh, I have... This sounds like this washes over mean, this is definitely in the O's, but like, if you could throw a blanket at this one. Oh, I have. This sounds like this washes over you, this song. It does. Sorry to all the fans of Classical. Get it on. If you are the number one MKTO fan.

Texas. 1310. Trying to think what was happening in the world when this came out. Or if you're Malcolm or Tony. Are they Australian? Ducko, I've got no clue. I'm taking a stab in the dark. Me too.

All right, 0-4 for Jess, 2017. For Ducco, the correct answer is 2013. Oh! What did you say? 17. No winners. No winners. Another draw!

Everyone's a winner. That just means everyone's a loser. It is. Yeah, that's wild. There you go. Well, good learnings today. Great learnings. Good job.

Good things. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. Now, yesterday I had a little run-in on the beach. So I was walking Pam, my beautiful dog, on the beach. I want to preface this by saying it's not necessarily a dog beach, but it's also not a nude beach. Let's just say that much.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Exactly right. Which crime is worse? Well, exactly, Jess. Wait, were you nude? Who was nude? No, no. Me and Pam went nude.

Well, Pam was wearing her fur, but I was wearing my board shorts. We were walking on this beach because she was very excited. We left her for a few days away for the wedding and the weekend. Oh, some good daddy-daughter time. I keep saying how I keep telling Pam, just seven weeks and your life's going to change. Right, fur baby. Skin baby is imminent. Your life is going to be flipped upside down, sweetie.

You won't be doing walks with her off lead. Oh, the beach while you're a baby around me. You won't be doing it. So we're walking on the beach, beautiful afternoon, very warm. And all of a sudden I look up and there's probably no one within about a kilometre. And it's not a nude beach, but there is a guy there. And this guy would be pushing a buck and change in terms of weight. Like, he was a big boy.

And I look up. I was like, is he wearing skin-coloured board shorts? No, I don't think he's wearing pants. And then you could just see huge butt crack. And, like, i'm talking you could see through the crack i could see scrote sorry was he just walking no he was lying down he was face down but with his legs sort of cocked on that like kind of like knee up position so he's sunning so he's sunny and you could i could see crack i could see beneath i could see everything the

benefits of getting some sunlight not too much We don't want to be silly here. The Australian sun is harsh. Yeah. I've heard of the benefits of gentlemen doing that. Was he really getting a... He was passed out, too. He was really out. My first reaction was...

That's a huge bitch. Like, it was... Like, I looked at her, I was like, what? And then... I hope you were... Have you sunscreened, sir? You got screened in it? My first reaction, I wanted to get a photo to send to you guys.

And I was like, well, I can't be taking a photo of a naked dude on the beach because that's problematic. That's only something Babs would do. That's what Babs does in her spare time. And anyway, I looked on and Pam then sees this guy. Uh-oh. And there's been other people on the beach. A kilometre ago, she was fine.

But because this guy's by himself and he is naked and he is bigger, she just didn't like it. Oh, no. And she's off lead. And she's like, rah, rah. I'm like, Pam, no. How far away do you reckon you are at this point. Oh, no. And she's off lead, and she's like, rah, rah. I'm like, Pam, no, sweetie. How far away do you reckon you are at this point? Oh, 200 metres. Uh-oh.

And then we're getting close. Sweetie, come with me, Pam, come with me. And I'm just about to hook her up to the lead, and then she bolts off. She knew Daddy's going to try and restrain me. I've got to protect him. I've got to protect him from the big whale man. She runs up and gets like maybe 10 metres from him. He's just parking... He was asleep.

He then wakes up, gets the front of his life, and then turns around and sees Pam there and then sees me. But I'm not going close because I don't want to get within 10 metres and see any shaft. This is this man's personal space. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to stress, though, once again, I was like, well, you're naked on not a nude beach,

and I've got a dog on not a dog beach, so let's all just pretend we didn't do the crime. Yeah. Let's just leave. Yeah. And so I had to call Pam from an appropriate distance away to come back to me. Was she listening?

She did eventually come back. She didn't go up and do anything. She was just concerned, barked at him for a bit. We know the sense of smell on a dog is the way they investigate, so she wasn't trying to get in. Oh, didn't want to get in there. She wasn't getting in too much? No.

Okay. What's this? What's this? The thing is, he was very nonchalant. She's barking at this naked guy. He looks at her, sees me. I'm like, come here, sweetie. No.

And then he just rolls back around eventually and goes back to sleep lying face down. This is not his first rodeo. That tells me he has experienced this before and he's happy to wear the consequences. I just couldn't believe it. How old, sorry, do you reckon this bloke was? A bit older? Sixties. See, don't you just, yeah, just can't wait to get to that age where you do not give two hoots anymore.

I'm telling you, I don't think I've seen a crack this long. Like, this thing must have been 45 centimetres long. Every crack is beautiful. Well, this wasn't beautiful. This certainly wasn't beautiful for my eyes. Yeah, well, what are you doing on the beach with yourself? Yeah, yeah, so true. It was just that awkward thing when he looked at me

and I looked at him. It was just like, oh, come on. Oh, that's fantastic. Uncomfortable. Not on your bingo card for a Monday afternoon. It certainly wasn't. Jess and Daco. 13, 10, 6, you're asking.

They don't let you do that anymore. Don't forget, 500 bucks to spend for organic skincare for grabs for a Call of Fame prize this week. That's right. Maybe you got away with something back in the day or you were witness to something and you think, geez, you can't do that these days. Couldn't get away with that in 2025. My parents were here visiting over the weekend and, Ducco,

you know my husband and I are co-owners of a wedding venue. And my dad's always very curious, always asks a lot of questions, and we're driving somewhere. And dad says to Gussie in the front seat, how's the venue going? You know, what's the latest? He's talking about how busy they are. It's wonderful. Dad wants to know the nitty-gritty and talks about when people come through the venue, what's that process look like? How do you sell it to them?

How do you make it really special? And then asked Angus, do you let prospective clients come and see the venue in full swing? Do you let them come when a wedding is actually on? Right. So they can see what they'd be buying. Right. Rather than just see photos of the empty space or see the empty space. And have to what they'd be buying. Right. Rather than just see photos of the empty space or see the empty space. And have to, what, use their imagination.

And me being my bright self around my parents, turn around to my dad going, are you dumb? You think someone's going to pay for the wedding venue and these guys are going to let randoms come in and have a look, have a sticky beak? And he went, excuse me, back in the 80s, when mum and I were planning our wedding, three different venues did exactly that. They said, oh, you want to have your wedding here potentially? Why don't you come back Saturday night around 7.30pm and you can see we've got the Jones wedding happening, but you can actually see the venue in full swing. Would they let them sit in and enjoy the food and watch all the speeches? Bro, they had three course meals. Really?

At one point, Dad said, they got up and danced. No. They're doing speeches? They're doing toasts? They got up and danced because they were also considering the band. So they thought, double whammy. We'll go check out this venue. We can taste the food.

Check out the styling. Oh, and this band we're considering as well. These guys are fantastic. They were up on the dance floor. So do they just leave? Because obviously weddings are pretty tight, pretty packed out. They're expensive. They just leave like two to four seats for randoms who want to come in.

It's like seat fillers. That must be what it was. Or there was a dedicated table. You know sometimes you'd have a table dedicated to your vendors. Your videographer has to eat. So there might be something tucked away in the corner. Oh, right. And don't forget, this is back in the day where it was very traditional.

Everything's round table. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My parents are both European. It would have been a very ethnic sort of reception centre. There'd been so many people they wouldn't have even known. Yeah. That's Uncle Gary. Well, this is the thing.

Dad said, we got up at one point, because my parents love to have a boogie. Yeah. And the bride and groom, they're kind of butt and shoulders with them. You know, everything's getting a bit hot and heavy. The bride's turned around at one of these venues and gone, who the hell are you guys? And my parents were like, oh, we're going to potentially look at the book in here. And then got really uncomfortable and removed themselves.

I thought the average wedding these days, I think the average Australian wedding is somewhere around $60,000, $70,000. Easily. Let alone the bougie ones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can you imagine looking around your wedding and going. Who's that? Who are those?

There's definitely people at your wedding. Like at your wedding, I know you didn't know everyone. I knew everyone, Angus. My parents brought 40 people. Yeah, mum and dad brought some friends. And there was definitely like two or three people where I was like, I don't really know who you are. Could they have been sticky beakers? Yeah, yeah.

I don't really know how your friends are mum and dad. Because I understand the selling point from a venue's perspective. It's hard to imagine when it's heaving it. It's really good and the vibe is fantastic. It would be weird to go and watch other speeches where you don't know anyone. Absolutely. And then the crux of it all, they didn't even book any of those three venues. The three that they did crash weddings.

They ended up picking a fourth because, I don't know, the food offering was more generous or something like that. It's legit wedding crashes. It's legit. That's exactly what it is. You just could not get away with that today. No way. I thought that was the most ridiculous question from my dad,

but that's what they did back in the 80s. Yeah. So I wanted to know, what's something you can't get away with these days? Anymore. Anymore. I would have thought there might be a couple of movies. Yeah. You know, they often talk about you couldn't make friends even these days

because of the political correctness. It's not woke. It's not this. And then you hear the news today that bloody White Chicks 2 is getting made. I thought that was one of the great cancelable films from back in the day. A chocolate man. Beautiful. Oh, my God.

How can they make White Chicks 2? But apparently they're getting a sequel in 2025. So, I mean, what do you think of when you think you couldn't make that today? Sherry got in touch on Instagram at Jess and Darko. You can message us on that. You can text us 0488881069. And she said, being left in the car with a bag of chips and a Coke while your parents go have beers at the pub. With a window half cracked.

Oh, no. This day and age, civilians will come and break your window. Oh, break the window. You'll be filmed. As they should. I don't feel like you should have ever been able to get away with that, but you certainly can't do it these days. Not wearing seatbelts before it was legal.

Yes. What about this? Sending your kids to the shops to get you cigarettes. Back of Winnie Reds for mum. Yeah, just an eight-year-old walks in being like, hi, mum's out of Winnie Reds. Can I please? Here's the cash.

Here's the cash. Even using the cash. Yeah. 13, 10, 60. Jeez, you can't do that cash. He's the cash. Even using the cash. Yeah. $13,060. Jeez, you can't do that anymore. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. You couldn't get away with that these days.

My dad was sharing over the weekend that back in the 80s when he and mum were looking for a wedding reception, they're about to celebrate 40 years married. Unbelievable. He said that wedding reception centres invited him and mum as prospective clients to come see the venue in full swing, which meant they crashed weddings. At one place, they had the three-course meal

and got up on the dance floor. Wild. Because they love a boogie and they're actually sussing out the band. To the point where a bride looked over at one point, gave my dad a death stare and was like, what the hell? Who are you? I can't believe they let people do that. I cannot believe.

I can't imagine paying upwards of 70 grand for a wedding, looking over, being like, I knew, you know, my in-laws invited some people, but they're not even in the right dress code. Who are you? Who are you? And because it's so, I mean, it probably wasn't as expensive back then, but it's so expensive now. I mean, relative, it probably was. I mean, they had 250 people or something at their wedding.

All cousins. All cousins. People flying in from Italy. My mum's Maltese cousin, who's a priest, he officiated. If you've seen The Godfather, it was just like that. It was that. They are the Sopranos. Good friend of the show, Bronnie, got in touch and she said,

I remember being at my Nan's and the baker, the local baker would let himself in the back door and just yell out, baker! And he'd put a loaf of fresh bread in the Nan's bread basket. Oh, that's so cool. Can you imagine? Baker! It's home invasion.

I'd barricade myself in the baby's room and call the cops. Baker! Baker, here I am! You can't do that these days. No, we have people messaging saying you can't leave kids in the car anymore, windows cracked, just go into the pub, get a few scoogies. No, you can't send your kids to the shops to buy your smokes. Your darts.

You can't even get darts anymore without breaking 100. Stacey's called through on 131060. Stacey, what don't they let you do anymore? Well, my mum was telling let you do anymore? Well, my mum was telling me a story the other week similar to Jess's

but my mum used to go with her group of friends of a weekend when they were bored go to churches and watch people's weddings.

What do you mean? Just sit in the back of the church? Yep. Is anyone allowed at the church actually to watch them get married?

You know anyone's allowed at a funeral? My brother got married in the cathedral down in Melbourne, and there were tourists taking photos. Like, literally. It's a public space. It's a public space just slipping in through the side door quietly. That's weird. It's so weird, Stacey.

Wouldn't do it. That gave them some joy watching strangers. And you don't even really get the love story at a church wedding. It's all very formal. Very formal. Do you go up to get the body of Christ? Oh, you get communion for sure. If you're going up, you're getting the bread.

I'm going to need a bit of alcohol. Give me some of that wine. And that Aldi wine, please. Father. I will take that one. You can't be doing that these days. Also, you'd have no connection to the couple, so you just wouldn't care about anything.

But you know what? I've got mates who watch random people's wedding videos. You know, maybe they're sussing out a videographer. Oh, you'd have no connection to the couple, so you just wouldn't care about anything. But you know what? I've got mates who watch random people's wedding videos. You know, maybe they're sussing out a videographer. Oh, yeah. And they shed a tear. No. I'm like, I don't... What? I know, I can't. I don't get it. I don't get it. It doesn't make sense. Can't be doing that these days. Can't be doing it.

Thank you, Stacey. You can be doing that. You can be winning $10,000 with us on Alphabucks. That has stood the test of time, Ducker. Yeah. I don't know how long Alphabucks has been around, but if you told me the 80s, I'd believe you. It's been around. It's been around for, jeez. Over a decade. Shy guy would know.

He's a fossil. Shy guy. How long has Alpha Bucks been around, you reckon? Cool man. I don't know. It started before I started. So you took 30 seconds to tell me that you didn't know. I was Googling it.

Googling it. Well, a long time. They just do the test of time. $10,000. In the 1990s, it says on Google, but I don't think I believe that. That can't be right. The hit network started playing that sometime in the late 1990s. Well, you're telling me it's potentially 30 years old.

Surely not. I mean, it's just a revamp. Scattergories, but let's not. Let's not get into it. Let's not get into it. It's ours. It's ours. It's ours.

Jess and Ducko in the morning. Hour full of books. Jess and Ducko's 10K Alphabucks on hit. 30 seconds to answer 10 questions, all starting with the same letter. Have to take your first answer. Can't use the same answer twice. If you're unsure of the question, just say pass. Don't say skip. Don't say skip.

Don't say skip. Because that throws me off. Confuses us. Say pass. Then Jess gets angry. We take an extra long second because we're annoying. Yeah, yeah, I'll punish you. I don't.

Don't even put that in people's heads. But skip throws me. I go, what did they just say? We're not playing skip, though. We're playing alpha bucks. Okay, Hannah. Do you see a rope anywhere? I ain't skipping.

Hannah, how are you? Hi. Good, how are you? Hannah, I promise if you need to pass, you'll say pass, not skip. I'll pass. a rope anywhere. Hey, skip it. Hannah, how are you? Hi. Good, how are you? Hannah, promise if you need to pass, you'll say pass, not skip. I'll pass. Okay, good. All right, she checks out. She can play.

Okay. What would you like to spend $10,000 on, darling? We would finally finish our Renaults. Oh. It's been two years of making. We've just got to do the lawn, and I reckon 10K would do it. Okay. 10K would do good.

Yeah, Renaults, are they all that up? Ducker, you're a big lawn guy. Any advice for Hannah as she lays new lawn? Well, I just, you know, it'll always... Get money? Yeah, get money. Well, I was just trying to think of my lollipop that didn't survive one of my plants. I've got to get a new one, actually.

Because you're trying to go the native route. Yeah, I've got the Sir Walter Buffalo Grass, so that's hardy, but still getting some weeds through it, even though I've been giving it some good watering. What an honour for Sir Walter to have a lawn named after him. Well, he's a hardy guy, Sir Walter Buffalo grass, so that's hardy, but still getting some weeds through it, even though I've been giving it some good watering. What an honour for Sir Walter to have a lawn named after him. Well, he's a hardy guy, Sir Walter. Oh, that's nice. That's why you get the Sir Walter. We need the appropriate product to associate with Sir Walter.

What are you running, Hannah? What do you want to run in that backyard of yours? Oh, I've got no idea. I'm the one trying to win the Aspux. Oh, okay. Well, write down Sir Walter Buffalo. Yeah, it's great. That's apux. Oh, okay. Well, write down Sir Walter Buffalo. Yeah, it's great. That's a good option.

Yeah, yeah. The letter you're going to work with today, Hannah, how's this? It's N. N for native plants. N. Okay, great. I've got N. Come on, Hannah.

Come on. I've got a good vibe about you, Hannah. Let's do it for Sir Walter. Yeah. You ready, Han? Yep, I'm ready. Your time will start after the first question. Starting with the letter N, we need you to name a country.

Nigeria. A food. Noodles. A four-letter word. Noun. A planet. Neptune. A boy's name.

Nathan. Something sharp. Puff. An animal. Puff. An animal. Puff. A gaming console. Nintendo. A celebrity.

Nina Richards. A brand. Nike. Something sharp. Mouthwippers. An animal. Oh! Oh!

Oh, my God! We... You had nine. That was nine! Nine. animal. Oh my god. We, you had nine. That was nine. If you came back and said a newt or a narwhal. Narwhal. Who's Nina Richards though? I don't know. I did need to check.

I had a question mark over Nina Richards. Sounds like an 80s rock star. I didn't want to poo-poo our party of nine men, but I did have a question mark over that. Damn it. Musician Nina Richards. An animal starting rock star. I didn't want to poo-poo our party of nine men, but I did have a question mark over that. Damn it. Musician Nina Richards. An animal starting to end. Had a song called Isolation. There's a nurse shark, a newt, and a narwhal.

Nina Richards, we could have accepted, basically. Nina Richards, we could have accepted. She has songs on Apple Music. You were a newt away from $10,000. Oh, man. We don't often see people pass two two then come back and nearly jag it. I know. I know.

Oh, my God. I haven't seen anyone that close in ages. Neither have we, sis. Oh, Jesus. Good to have you on. It's been getting boring, this game. I think it's spicing it up. Babs is pulling her hair out.

She's like, these are all right. I'm not trying to be tricky. Yeah, they were pretty good. Hey, you don't go away empty-headed. It's not 10K, but you get $100 to spend it. People, hair care, that is all yours, okay? Oh, cool. Okay.

All right. Thanks, guys. Thanks, Hannah. Thanks for playing. Well done. What a gracious loser. I love good losers. As do I.

Hannah, no Sir Walter Buffalo. No. But a great attitude. And that's something we can celebrate. We play again tomorrow at 6.30am. We're getting close now. That's the way it's done, guys. I can feel it.

That's the way it's done. Just remember Nah can feel it. That's the way it's done. Just remember Nah Wall for next time. I don't feel like anyone's ever said that. That's a tough game, though. Or a newt. A newt. Maybe you've watched Matilda recently. Matilda, yeah, it's the only way I know a newt.

Jess and Ducco. Got given the talk yesterday from old Migloo. Yep. Never gets old, does it? Your pregnant wife. You know, I said that to Morgan's parents. I've been calling him Miggler. Morgan's dad lost it.

He thought it was so funny. I thought you were going to say he blocked it. It was a niche animal joke. He's like, Miggler the white whale. That's hilarious. And how did your mother-in-law take it? She just giggled away and went, oh, ducko. They've been looking at their daughter going, you chose him.

That's your emergency contact. 100%. But she said, because she works at a hospital, I shan't name names, even though everyone knows. Yeah, good one. Let's be vague now. We just went to that hospital and gave coffee away last week. All over Instagram.

Okay. She sometimes works in the catching babies department, we call it, where they do C-sections and stuff. And she said that... When she's not pulling hearts out of chests and operating on those, she's pulling babies out. She said that there was someone who worked at this hospital whose wife and him were in there.

She was in labour as the patient. She was giving birth. And he was, because he knew all the midwives and knew the nurses, he was chatting to all the nurses and to all the midwives. And Morgan was there and Morgan said, I need to talk to you. And I was like, what's up? She goes, if you chat to all the midwives and the doctors and the specialists, whatever, whoever's in that room, while I'm in the middle of labor,

giving birth, I'll be so mad. Sorry, the man she was watching do this, was he the employee? Correct. Yeah, so he worked there. So he's the colleague. So he knew them. So he's there just chatting and his wife's there. Which I would argue is even worse because he should know,

priority number one, woman on the table. Woman on the table, yeah. She's got the epidural. I'm joking. It was a joke. It was a joke. You said there's something I want to run past the team. Were you asking for how do we feel about her putting a muzzle on you?

Because I'm all freaking for it. I remember when you said you went in, you got recognised by some of the midwives and nurses and stuff. But obviously you're the one doing it. Beyond even the people we'd encountered in the journey nine months prior. Do you know what I mean? In that moment, there's some new faces you've never seen before. Because obviously, whoever's on shift is on your shift.

Exactly. And you know, like, we'll be there. Maybe I'll bring some Jess and Ducker fridge magnets. I'll whack them around. Shaga's going to be there for content, obviously. So he'll be in the room. I appreciate your dedication to this show. I appreciate your content brain always operating for that

what could be 12 hours, 24 hours. Hey, one of my girlfriends, 60 hours just recently. No, that's not on. Before they needed an emergency seat. Are you allowed to have breaks? Am I allowed to leave in that 60 hours? Get some Guzman? If Morgan can't have a break, you can't have a freaking break.

I'll get her some too. Here's a burrito, honey. I'll leave it here for when baby's out. Last time she asked you to pass her a Magnum, you can't have a freaking break. I'll get her some too. Here's a burrito, honey. I'll leave it here for when baby's out, hey? Last time she asked you to pass her a Magnum, you threw it at her belly. I can't imagine when you piff the grenade burrito at her too. No, you can't have a break. Here's my problem, right? Is I'm polite.

I like to chat to people. People chat to me. I feel like I'm really bad at, if someone speaks to me, I'm really bad at not speaking back and being kind of rude. Morgan's great at being rude. She excels in it. I'm not that great at it. You're yin and yang. Yeah, we are. I'm not that great at it.

If there's any time you can be rude, it's when you are contracting. She has every right to say whatever she wants. You can poo the bed, which she will. You can swear. She can do whatever she wants. She can hold my hand, squeeze it, dislocate my shoulder. I dislocated Angus's thumb. Exactly.

I'm prepared for all this stuff. But if someone's like, oh, hey, Tucker, how are you? Oh, I love the show. When you're talking about this, I'm just going to be chatty. And she doesn't want a bar of it. So we've got seven weeks. Yeah. We need to work on your rudeness.

Okay. We need to work on your ignoring of people. Yeah, right. I know there's going to be some friendly people. Yes. You don't get into healthcare if you don't like people. Yeah. So they might try and engage daddy, you know?

And they see it every day. Blanked. So I'll just be like, I understand the behavior. Oh, you're having a chat. Absolutely. You need to have laser focus on your lady. Ladies. Oh, yes. You need to work on being rude. I'm going to set you focus on your lady. Ladies. Oh, yes.

You need to work on being rude. I'm going to set you some challenges. You need to go to a coffee shop today. Not say please or thank you. I can't do it. You need to go to your barber. No small talk. No, I would never do it to Brandon.

You need to walk down the street and just be blanking everybody. No friendly smiles. No the what's up nod. No good mornings. You need to get in an Uber. No. Busy everybody. No friendly smiles. No the what's up nod. No good mornings. No good weather we're having. You need to get in an Uber. No. Oh, how's your night? Busy night.

How's your night? None of that. How long have you been driving Uber for? We need to work on your, the opposite of people skills. The rude skills. The rude skills. You start today, don't say hi to anyone in the office after the show. I know these people.

They're just like, well, he's a prick. Yeah, but the people in the hospital suite will think they know you too. So it's the office after the show. I know these people. They're just like, well, he's a prick. Yeah, but the people in the hospital suite will think they know you too. So it's the same sort of dynamic. That's a good one. When we leave today, we've got a new lovely Receppo. You've got a blank Sally. Oh, that's so hard. If anything, flip her off.

I want you to flip her the bird. See you, Sally! It's all for Morgan, baby. It's all for Morgan and for this child. Okay, I'll work on it. I'm a little bit nervous about it. I know, I know. You've got it deep in you, Sally. It's all for Morgan, baby. It's all for Morgan and for this child. Okay, I'll work on it. I'm a little bit nervous about it. I know, I know. You've got it deep in you, the people-pleasing kind.

The other thing that she asked me is she said, are you going to look down? Yes, we have talked. You know, now we're going out that way. We're not doing the sunroof. And I said, should I look down? She said, I reckon you won't be able to help yourself. Did Angus look down? Angus was down there for most

of it, if I'm honest with you. I also got nude very fast. That paper gown comes off and you're going from the shower, the bath, the gas, whatever. I was on all fours at one point, so he couldn't help see that. But no, he was down there to catch her. So he certainly saw it all. She didn't want me to do the catching thing. But no, he was down there to catch her. So he certainly. Yeah, right. Certainly saw it all. She almost said she didn't want me to do the catching thing. But I don't know. I don't know if I go down there or not.

If I'm down there, more chance for small talk. With the obstetrician. So anyway, is this normal? If the obstetrician starts. What's this one look like? What's on for the weekend, guys? You need to blank him too. Come here often.

Good luck. Oh, there she comes. Jess and Ducko. Right now, Ducko, I had a real moment yesterday where I went, I have not changed in the slightest. As much as I try and better myself, I don't know if at my core I'm ever going to improve. Right.

My husband recommended an audio book. It's called The Dose Effect by TJ Powers. I don't know if you'd call it a self-help book, but he heard it recommended on a podcast he likes. And it's written by Dose, which stands for dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, endorphins. I thought it was like dosing. No.

Dosages. And T.J. Power is a young British dude who's dedicated his life to neuroscience and understanding the brain. And last night after dinner, I like to have a passeggiata, where I go for a walk after dinner. Go for a walk after dinner. That's what the Italians do. You know, it's nice to digest.

We did an article on that maybe last year. It was someone saying go for a post-dinner walk. Nice to go for a post-dinner walk. Good for your physical health. Good for mental health. Particularly when you put away 45 kilos of pasta. That's right. It's good to go for a walk around the block. The gas walk. Nice to go for a post in a walk. Good for your physical health. Good for mental health. Particularly when you put away 45 kilos of pasta. That's right. It's good to go for a walk around the block.

The gas walk. Balance. But obviously now with the little one, we can't do it together. So I was like, it's my turn for pasta giata. I'm going to take the dog. Oh, yeah. Put the headphones on. Listen to the dose effect.

Right. Because my husband's not a big reader. When he does find a book that he can really sink his teeth into, I immediately jump on board so I can read it or listen to it as well, and then we can talk about it. And you ask him a trillion questions, and I'm sure he loves it. He loves it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because every book I read, all my smut books, he doesn't. He's not into it. So I've got to come over to him. So I'm going for this walk, and it's only 15 minutes or so, but this first chapter is about dopamine. So dopamine is the feel-good hormone, of course. You might hear about a dopamine crash even. And the book's talking all about how over centuries, over generations, over time, we

have now, with modern society, completely stuffed our dopamine levels. Things like social media spike our dopamine so high, and the brain's natural way to create and restore order is to crash you back down, to try and just level you out. So instead of these slow rises and slow dips, we're going up and down and up and down. Yeah. And imagine the foods we're eating as well. Absolutely.

He actually listed the sugary foods, the amount of alcohol. Yeah, the weekends. You usually like dopamine after a big weekend until Wednesday. And social media was a massive one. And he thought gambling is another one. And he listed the six sort of big criminals when it comes to dopamine crashes. And he goes, try and work out which one it is for you. And we can work together over the series of this book to help you counteract that.

You're going to have a better life if you can adopt these principles. And I'm walking beautifully. And I went, yes, I want to have a better life if you can adopt these principles. And I'm walking beautifully. And I went, yes, I want to have a better life. I am going to adopt these principles, getting myself really worked up. I'm going to level out my dopamine. Social media, what does he say, is the thing you can take forward. If you have an urge to pick up your phone and scroll on, let's say, Instagram, that's my drug of choice, that's for sure.

When you have that urge, tell yourself, I'm not going to do it. Give yourself a timeframe. Say, I'm not going to open Instagram till tomorrow morning. By this point, it's 7.30 at night. I thought, yes, tomorrow morning. I'm not going to open my phone till tomorrow morning. I'm going to do this. I'm going to start working on my willpower.

I'm going to work on my dopamine levels. I am going to achieve this new goal. I'm going to be a better person. Because the amount of times you just want to go grab your phone, like you even just have it. And you all of a sudden you look at the same thing you saw five minutes ago. Why am I doing that? Absolutely. And you might even, if you start being more conscious of this, you might start feeling that crash because it is that fast these days. We've absolutely stuffed our brains with all this modern stuff. Well, Shaga never had dopamine. Well, no.

He's base level. You should listen to the book. But I'm going, yes, I'm walking. I'm on the, yes, I'm going to be a better person. Yes, TJ Power, I am listening to you. I walk in the house, take off the dog's harness, go sit on the toilet. What do I do? Pick up my phone straight away.

Exactly as you say. Yeah, you can't help it. It is, it's instantaneous. It is almost subconscious. I went, well, that was the shortest habit I've ever broken in my life. 15 whole minutes I lasted with this goal. Yeah, yeah. And even if you finish the book and you're all motivated, it might last a month or so

if that, and then it will just. 100%. I've started journaling because, again, this is another one of my habits, I thought. Is that how you go with the journaling? I've done two entries. Yeah. And even in my entry last night, I wrote, I can't believe I picked it up again.

Well done, me. Woo-hoo. Today is a good day. Was that the whole entry? That was the whole entry. Jess and Ducco. 13, 10, 60. What is a sackable offence for your other half?

Could even be a friend, family member, whatever it may be. Oh, housemate, maybe. Oh, yeah. Shirley Babs has a few of those. There's been a Melbourne man who sparked outrage and gone viral online after a major shopping blunder that his wife deems unforgivable and he keeps doing it. So, you know, you can get the Woolworths checkout 10% everyday insurance

like discount thing. Yes. So you can get, like, when you use your Woolworths rewards, you can get the discount and often if you have a big shop, they can go, oh, you've got 20 bucks off. Yes. Would you like to take it now? I was behind an old bloke and I went through the person, not the self-serve the other day, and she went, do you want to use your discount?

He went, yeah, today might be the day. Something like $90. So he just built it up. He had built it up. I went, I don't have that sort of willpower. Speaking about willpower. I don't have that sort of willpower. Speaking about willpower. I don't either. He must have, that must be years of shops.

Because when I get $10, I'm like, oh, that's fantastic. Let's take it. Absolutely. Well, this man, he said that he's got the access to the discount card as does his wife. He's a tradie. He was going there for lunch and he buys a small $10 lunch. And they go, would you like your discount? Because it was $10.

It was like a dollar discount. Yep. Which he then takes and then starts the discount train again. And they've got a family with kids. And his wife is saying, this is a sackable offense. People have come to her aid online saying, how could he do this? You could have got $30 or $40 off your family grocery shop. He's taken a $1 discount instead.

And I know that seems petty. Oh, yeah. Okay, now we're doing maths. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And what actually would have worked out the most. It seems petty, but really, you literally used it on your can of tuna and your rice. Not to defend what I think is easily the worst party here, the worst off party. It's all the family budget, isn't it?

Like, his lunch, it's the family. I get it, the grocery shop that would feed the children. You get $30 off your whole family grocery shop or $1 off your canned tuna and rice. Oh, okay. Yeah, no, I can't justify that. I think that's where everyone's getting annoyed. I was like, it's all collective, you know? It's all collective.

But no, you're right. If he had sacrificed that, it would have been a bigger reward down the track. My wife's got both our worst rewards cards linked up to her Qantas frequent flyer points. Mine isn't linked up to mine and she just did it. And I was like, but I'm the one who flies more. I was about to say, but to be fair,

who does the admin in your house? Would that be Morgan? Yeah, but I fly. You know, doing the weather gig every now and then, I get to fly a lot of times. But they book your flights for the other today, so you're not booking your own.

But I can still accrue points, though. Yeah, you can add points. Yeah, yeah. Now we're getting tricky. See, I am so not the admin. Can you tell? I don't do the admin or the points.

I mean, just based off that before, you're like, oh, he's getting a dollar off his tuna. It's all family money. Do you have a Worth Rewards card? I do. Yeah. Yes. I don't know how it works.

I scan it and it lives. I scan it. Yeah. Speaking of, again, another old lady in the self-serve the other day called over the 16-year-old. She was like, what's this Woolworths reward? She just had no idea, Grandma Betty. And you should have heard this kid trying to explain to Grandma Betty

the points and the sense of and the accruing the rewards. I just was like, let her live her life. Just let her go. She's too far gone to start now. It's fine. But 13, 10, 60, sack all offences. I want to nominate my wife for putting hair all over the shower wall. When her hair comes out and she grabs it and whacks it all over the shower wall.

She'd make art for you, though. Doesn't she leave you love hearts and stuff out of the hair shakes? It looks like Cousin It has been in the shower. You come in, it looks like a crime scene. You get a fright every time you see it. I would like to nominate myself if my husband had time to call. I'm sure he would. I am a fiend for dragging in sand if I have a nice afternoon with the baby or the dog at the beach.

I track. I don't rinse my feet at the beach. I'm just like, when I'm out, I want to get out of there. So I never rinse. So that means I track half the beach into the house. Angus likes to be barefoot. He comes in crunching along. He goes, Christ almighty. Yeah, there's nothing worse than sand inside. We've got floorboards, sand inside. It accumulated on the table because where I put the bag and I just wiped it onto the floor.

He's like, a dustpan and brush, a dustpan and brush. No, I just keep sweeping it under the rug. Sorry, honey. Oopsie. Babs, you have a sackable offence? Yeah, sometimes Jethro sends me TikToks instead of saying good morning first in the morning We were just talking about our social media addictions That's his love language, Babs

This is the modern era of I'm thinking of you, thought you'd find this funny No, it's a good morning text first, thank you You need the good morning text, it's sackable Chivalry's dead, Dago. The young ones don't matter. Enjoy this TikTok of people dropping things on their foot. 13, 10, 60. You've got a Sackable offence. What have you got?

Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. 13, 10, 60. We're talking Sackable offences to your partner. That's right. Our man is getting absolutely roasted online, a Melbourne man, for accepting a cheaper discount with his Woolworths reward situation. He needed to go get a cheap lunch on a weekday and his wife's gone,

hang on a minute, if you'd left that for me when I do the family shop tomorrow, I could have saved $30, $40. Yes. But you took the lesser option just to save yourself a buck. Why did you do that? And the internet has turned on him. It is one of those annoying things, though. Like, it's a minute problem, but it is one of those things that would really get you going.

As we've often said on this show, it's the one percenters that make up the big picture. Yep. And what we've seen from this boy, from this man, from this husband, is a lack of care for his family. Lack of care for the family. And that's a sackable offence. You're not getting that $30 discount on the grocery shop. You're getting a $1 discount on your lunch. Exactly.

My husband is a big fan of the, oh, let it soak. No, sackable offense. Oh, I love you. You've got to let it soak. No, no. You've got to let it soak. Leaves the sink full of the dirty dishwasher and then goes, I won't do that pan, though. It probably should soak.

A bit of elbow grease, son, and then empty the freaking yuck dish water. Have you ever cleaned a soaked dish, though, the next day? Nah. Because it's so easy. Well, I have because that's left for me. Yeah, yeah. Half a job, as my mum would say. Half a job.

If you're on clean up, you clean everything. No, you let the pan soak. You clean all the plates, put them in the dishwasher, let the pan soak. The next day, one couple of scrubs, you're good to go. Sackable. Cassie's called through. Hi, Cass. Hey, guys.

How are you? Excellent, babe. Is your partner guilty of a sackable offence? Look, he's not because I have trained him well, but in previous relationships when your partner eats the last of something and doesn't tell you. Oh, you've been looking forward to those leftovers all day. You come home and he's cleaned off the chicken teriyaki.

Yep, absolutely. Like, Colt, you get pizza the night before. You go to work. You're like, oh, man, I'm coming home for an afternoon snack. Bit of cold pizza. Get home, empty box in the bin. Oh, sackable. Sackable.

How dare you do that? Yeah. Nothing. You know what? She won't be able to satisfy that pizza craving until the next time they get pizza. She's coming home for that cold slice of pizza. Oh, dump him. Geordie's called her on 131060.

Good morning, Geordie. Good morning. We're talking sackable offences. What have they done? Oh, what really gets me? So, East Maitland, stinking hot days. I get up, close the doors to the rooms that we don't use, windows, everything. My partner has a habit of going into the rooms that we don't even use,

opening windows, and I'm sitting there wondering where all this hot air is coming from. And he's just like, oh, the room was musky, or Benny, our cat, wanted the window open. Well, dude, I wanted to be nice and cool on this stinking hot day, but anyway. Blaming it stuff on the cat? Definitely sackable. How good's that? Penny wanted it. You look at the cat, the cat's just licking itself. Come on, let it happen. Geordie, that's where you've got to hit them with that, were you born in a barn? Close the doors. Born in a barn. Nikki's

called in. Good morning, Nikki. Good morning, guys. How are we? Excellent, Nikki. We're talking sackable offences. What have they done? So my darling husband is a travelling salesman. He goes away a couple of nights a week. He likes to store his dirty clothes in the back of his car. Once I've done all the washing, mind you, I'm washing for seven people, including two babies.

Oh, wow. He then dumps all the washing in the laundry once it's all done. Oh, why does he still? His car would stink. The car would be so smelly. I don't even go near the car anymore. We have two cars, a family car and his work car, and that is huge. What I'm hearing is you need to enact what Ducco and Morgan have,

separate washing baskets, separate loads. You're in charge of yours and she's in charge of hers. That is not your problem, Nikki. Well, he did say to me in his defense, I was waiting for a free moment with the machine. I'm like, that's never going to happen to me. He had that prepared, that response. And Karina has called to wrap us up here, Karina.

I'm presuming it's your husband that's done something sackable. It is. What's he done? It's all husbands. Of course it is. When the toilet roll's empty, he just chucks it down next to the toilet. It's just me and him in the house. And I chuck it down.

It means like it wasn't me. I'm like, well, it definitely wasn't me. There's only two of us in here. It's a tailor's oldest time. Yeah, you've got to replenish. Why aren't the greatest minds in the world focused on this? Because it seems to be a bugbear for every second couple. You cannot get them to replace the toilet roll or, God forbid, put it the right way around once they do.

The other big one, the little bin you have in the toilet, which is usually filled with toilet rolls and things. Emptying that. It's a battle to see who's going to empty it, always. Ours is disgusting because, obviously, it's filled with and things. Yep. Emptying that. Emptying that. It's a battle to see who's going to empty it always. Ours is disgusting because obviously it's filled with bathroom things. Mainly my hair. When I clean my brush, I put the piles of hair in there. Lucia's got into this gross habit. She goes through the bin and pulls it all out.

I'm like, anger's clean up in the bathroom. Get it sorted. Oh, that is sackable. It's always in the bathroom. It's always in the bathroom and it's always the husband's. Hey, well done everyone for getting involved. It's always in the bathroom. It's always in the bathroom, and it's always the husband's. Hey, well done, everyone, for getting involved. That is just about us done. Absolutely.

If you missed any of the show today, our podcast lives on the listener. Yep. A lot of fun to relive. Oh, yeah. Get it wherever you get your podcasts. We're back tomorrow. Tomorrow's Wednesday, which means we're dipping, baby. Yes.

And I got my mum to explain some songs that we've got in the playlist. In her, she's not geriatric, in her, what's an adjective I can use that I won't be sacked for? Senile. From her mind. From her mind. But the fun part is I got her a couple of glasses of wine deep. Yeah, great. So you'll have to interpret. I'm going to interpret what she thinks the song is about and what song it is. I've edited a couple of glasses of Wine Deep. Yeah, great. So you'll have to interpret.

I'm going to interpret what she thinks the song is about. I've edited out most of the slurring. So we'll see if you can decipher what my mum is trying to describe. We'll do that tomorrow. Look forward to it. We're out of here. Enjoy your days. We'll be back tomorrow.

Bye-bye. Bye. I'm telling you, I don't think I've seen a crack this long. Jess and Ducko. That was the Jess and Ducko podcast. Macca's fiery new spicy chicken McGrath is even more reason for a Macca's run. crack this long.
