Gather your little helpers, because the Elf on the Shelf Happy Meal has arrived at Macca's.
Jess and Duggo! This is the Jess and Duggo Podcast.
Ah, welcome to the podcast.
For the final time in 2024.
And I have a story for you guys.
Do we get Babs in here?
Yeah, Babs, get in here.
Come on!
I don't think she can hear us.
Babs!
Come on, get in here.
Okay, okay, okay. I saved this. I was going to do this story yesterday.
And you thought, no, I'm going to end the year with it.
I ran out of time because we had our 20-week scan,
so I couldn't do it yesterday.
Sure.
So this story stays just with us and obviously the podcast,
but I know podcasts are less listeners than actual show.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I pondered whether I should say it or not,
but I'm going to fucking say it anyway.
Hell yeah.
Content warning!
Okay.
That wasn't planned, by the way.
That was unbelievable.
So, you know, my dad came over to Panadec, right?
Last couple of days he's been here.
Yes.
I looked at him.
He's retired now.
He's in that phase where he's sort of experimenting with, you know,
have a bit of fun.
He's a bit more lax.
He'll get a bit drunk.
Do whatever.
Yada, yada.
Like, it's a good time.
Oh, my God.
So, I happened to get my hands on some gummies, some edibles, some weed gummies.
Holy shit.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It gets better.
It's already peaked.
So, yesterday, not yesterday, the day before, we'd done all the painting, eight hours of
painting.
We were fucked.
We had to go and do our second coat of the painting on the bottom of the deck.
And I looked at Dad and I said, Dad, do you want a weed gummy?
And he's like, what?
I was like, an edible.
Do you want one?
He's like, how'd you get it?
I was like, don't worry about it.
He knew what they were.
He knew what they were.
He was keen to try.
He's never done it.
Ever.
In his entire life.
He seems straight.
He's pretty straight, Dad.
Yeah.
And he's like, how'd you get it?
I was like, don't worry about it.
Don't ask silly questions.
You should get some things.
He's like, don't ask me.
I've got a friend who got a friend. Shy Guy's my hooker. Shy Guy gives me cock rings I was like, don't worry about it. Don't ask silly questions. You should get some things these days. Don't ask me. I've got a friend who got a friend.
Shy Guy's my hooker.
Shy Guy gives me cock rings and edibles.
Don't worry about it.
Oh, yeah, you'll hear that soon.
You will hear that.
That'll make sense.
And Dad goes, all right, fuck it.
So we both had one.
What time of day is this?
This is literally four o'clock.
Oh, my God.
So the sun is up.
Morgan's not home yet.
The sun's up.
The afternoon's setting.
We're listening to music. That's when Macy Gray and stuff is coming on. We both had one. So the sun is up. Morgan's not home yet. The sun's up. The afternoon's setting. We're listening to music.
That's when Macy Gray and stuff was coming on.
Now that makes sense.
Oh my God.
That's a slap.
Oh my God.
That's a slap so hard.
We're just feeling it.
And then all of a sudden, because Dad was a lot better at painting than I was in terms
of dexterity and attention to detail.
He never paints it on the wall.
He was really good at the side.
He was the one getting up in the corners.
Correct.
And we didn't have any scotch tape.
And Dad was doing really well.
I painted the wall so many times I had to scrub scotch tape And dad was doing Really well I'd fucking
I'd paint the wall
So many times
I had to scrub it off
Whereas I was probably
Better at sanding
Than he was
A bit more rough
And whatever
It was our personalities
All of a sudden
Me and dad are painting
And we're painting
And we're fucking
Laughing our heads off
Like I reckon
45 minutes later
We were pissing
Our sons laughing
At nothing
And we then
Look over at each other
And we were meant to paint
Like he was going One side I was going the other And we were meeting In the middle And we forgot Who was meeting In other and we were meant to paint.
He was going one side, I was going the other and we were meeting in the middle.
And we forgot who was meeting in the middle so we'd only painted a corner.
And we'd be going over the same patch over and over again.
So this whole blank space in the middle.
Yeah, and then he's like, wait, was I going there or were you?
But I didn't want to alert Dad that he was high because I didn't want to wig him out.
Because I could tell he was.
And then Morgan comes home and she's like, we kept going. She goes wow, the date looks great. And we're like smiling
and laughing. Yeah, how good is it? And she's like, such a good job.
And she's like, oh, looks over at the
side of the wall to dad's side and goes
oh, you painted the
wall. You've gone up
the wall. We look over and dad has
painted, like he did so
well for six hours and then
he has painted. And then you got him high.
Yeah, I got him stoned.
And he painted the wall.
Like, mate.
Wait, black.
Not a little bit.
It's black paint, isn't it?
And it's a blue wall.
And I don't mean like, I mean like there's like waves going down the whole 10-meter space.
And Dad's like, oh, how did I do that?
He started drawing a mural.
He's like, yes, I am an artist.
He's really feeling what he's thinking. I'm painting penises. Dad's just painting that. He's like, how did I do that? He started drawing a mural. He's like, yes, I am an artist. He's really feeling what he's thinking.
I'm painting penises.
Dad's just painting that.
He's like, how did I do that?
I was like, Dad, I think you're high.
And Dad's like, oh, he looks at Morgan.
And Morgan's like, are you too high?
Father and son.
Oh, my.
What a bonding moment.
It was so funny.
How long did it last?
Like, the effect?
Hours.
Hours?
And then we had a bottle of wine.
I mean, to get that whole mural done, it must have been hours.
And bless him, the next day he got up early and he scratched all the paint off.
Oh my gosh, I've got to clean that up.
I mean, there's still bits and pieces there, but it was bad.
Because Morgan's like, how did that happen?
I was like, Dad was really good at painting.
I accidentally got him high.
It's a whole thing.
Accidentally?
Hang on.
Morgan was like, I have so many questions.
And then we sat down and had a bottle of wine and played music
and in my day, the amount of times Dad would just get up
and stand on the deck and look at it and nod his head.
Just not say anything.
It was so good.
That's special.
It was so fucking funny.
Oh, my God.
Even Spider-Man want to get my dad high now.
It is so funny.
And he didn't know.
And when we painted the same spot for like half an hour
and then he painted the wall, I just couldn't believe it.
Oh, that's fantastic.
Yeah, one of the great moments.
Wow.
Yeah, yeah.
You'll never be able to paint sober again.
Like, I'm going to need.
It was funny because Morgan was like, in what world did you think painting high would be
good?
I was like, well, it was the second coat.
And you were like, I've done the sand.
It's not like I was operating heavy machinery.
Exactly.
It was just paint.
Exactly.
And it helped the pain of our knees because we had those little rollers.
Exactly.
It was painful to the next day, but that's besides the point.
Morgan did say, because I obviously came to work the next day,
and Dad got up and Dad was a bit slow, I think.
Goes back out just with the paintbrush.
I'm like, what am I doing?
It was special, though.
What a bonding moment.
That is amazing.
It was fun.
It was a fun few days.
Morgan's like, I thought I could hear you guys just laughing out there,
just giggling, listening to old school songs.
When are we coming over is the question.
Anyway, that's us.
That's us for the year.
What a way to end.
What a way to end.
I thought you guys would enjoy that.
We gave Arnie Licky $1,000 and we got Chris Allen home.
Sensational.
See you next year.
Welcome to Friday.
For the last time in 2024.
I want to make that really clear.
In 2024.
Yep.
Not the last time ever.
No.
Don't you be worried.
Not that we know of.
Not that we know of.
So that's why the vibe is so high.
Yeah.
There's no goodbye package coming up on the show. No. It's just a- Yeah, the vibes are good. There's no goodbye package coming up on the show.
No.
Yeah, there's no farewell.
There's no 10-minute farewell.
It's just a see you later, see you soon.
See you next year.
But we do have a big show.
Oh, yeah.
Three hours of joy and fun and laughter to see out our 2024.
How are you feeling, brother?
Good morning.
That alarm that went off this morning, did you just pop straight out of bed?
Flew out.
Flew out.
Because we're doing Secret Santas, which is not so secret for you and Babs, but for me
and Shy Guy it is, and we're drawing them next.
Like, we're giving to each other.
And I got halfway here, pretty much three quarters away here, and then I forgot his
present.
Fantastic.
So I had to turn around and call Shy Guy.
You're nothing if not consistent.
Why would you remember anything on the last show if you've not remembered things?
What?
No, I just feel like that's in your wheelhouse.
But I'm thinking, what other presents have we done?
Yeah, what else have I forgot from the show? Anyway, you had feel like that's in your wheelhouse. But I'm thinking, what other presents have we done?
Anyway, you had to turn around.
Yes.
I had to turn around and go back and get it.
Well, you've got it.
Yeah.
Our Christmas tree.
Well, it's not looking particularly flush.
It's just four.
No, yeah.
But I'm looking forward to at least just getting my hands on the gift.
I know Babs got me.
Yeah, you two already know each other's, which isn't that fun. It kind of fits the purpose of doing it on air next, too.
Well, yeah, I said to Shiger when he put it on, but I know what I'm getting, Babs knows,
and he goes, yes, but Ducker and I don't.
Yeah, that'll still be fun.
And you both come in saying, I think it's going to make your year.
I think so.
I think you'll like it, Shiger.
Yeah, I think you'll like mine.
Okay.
He came in with a very big box.
Yeah.
And assures us he hasn't gone over budget.
No.
Yeah, no.
Trust me. We're on budget, and it's a surprise big box. And assures us he hasn't gone over budget. No, trust me.
We're on budget and it's a surprise.
Yeah, we've done all, we've ticked all the boxes.
The boys have ticked the boxes, baby.
Well done.
And you guys didn't even want to do Secret Santa.
This was my idea.
And now here we are doing it.
But here we are.
It's a lot of joy in the room.
There is.
I do have a bone to pick with you, though, to not bring the mood down.
Yeah. So I'd spend three to pick with you, though, to not bring the mood down. Yeah.
So I'd spend three or two and a half days, perhaps three days,
doing sanding and painting my deck, Shaga.
Oh, yeah, yeah. We've heard all about the deck updates.
Yeah.
Your father come down.
Yeah, yeah.
He's gone home now?
He's gone now.
I can't even enjoy the fruits of his labor.
Did you crack a cold one?
Yeah, we had a beer.
Yeah, yeah.
I then posted before and after of the deck.
I'm getting all these, like, wow, it looks amazing, it looks amazing. Jess sends a beer. Yeah, yeah. I then posted before and after of the deck. I'm getting all these like, wow, looks amazing, looks amazing.
Jess sends a message and goes, that one broken bit of wood's really letting you down.
That's the only thing she said.
She didn't say, well done.
Looks great.
Oh, my God.
I didn't know you had it in you.
Awesome work.
Just went, that's letting you down.
You know when you point out.
Yeah, point out the one thing.
And actually, it made me say up last night and be like, I just spent three days on this
Why wouldn't you fix the broken bit?
Because it's symbolic.
You know why.
You know I can't say it on air either, so don't.
I know.
Yeah, don't.
No, I was trying to be funny.
I thought you'd get a laugh out of that.
I didn't realise how the blood, sweat and tears.
She was doing it to piss me off.
The blood, sweat and tears that went into it.
Yeah, lots of them.
Lots of them. I thought we could blood, sweat and tears that went into it. Yeah, lots of them. Lots of them.
I thought we could see, because you know that whole,
there's a Japanese art of breaking bowls and then putting them together
back with gold.
Yeah.
And it's like the broken parts make us stronger.
Yeah.
I thought that's the message you'd take out of it.
Shut up.
Shut up.
Do you like that spin?
No.
I didn't even listen.
No, it looks great.
Yeah, it looks good.
Thank you.
Hey, I'm not the only one who had an issue.
You cop DMs about the black. Yeah, it looks good. Thank you. Hey, I'm not the only one who had an issue. Cop DMs about the black.
Yeah, well, people said the paint.
But also, I couldn't change the color it was.
To those people, you say, you don't have to sit on it.
Yeah.
You don't have to have a beer on it.
I had to color match what it was.
I'd love to have gone white or something.
Trust me, I didn't want to go black.
Yes, yes.
Black looks sick, but it's just going to be so hot.
I think it does look good.
Yeah, it's just hot.
It just gets very hot.
But I didn't do it in the first place.
The owners did. This is just to get a few more years out of the deck. Absolutely. It's about longevity to be so hot. I think it does look good. Yeah, it's just hot. It just gets very hot. But I didn't do it in the first place. The owners did.
This is just to get a few more years out of the deck.
Absolutely.
It's about longevity.
That's it.
It's about covering up.
It's fine.
It's about enjoying it for now, the beautiful weather we're going to have over Christmas.
Exactly.
And you're hosting.
Do you know whose opinion is the only opinion that matters?
Your father-in-law.
And he's the one coming on Christmas Day.
How's it, Morgan?
We put the table back on the deck, and Morgan puts a chair on,
then slides it in, scratches it.
And I was like, why did you?
And she goes, it's a deck.
It's going to get like that.
And I was like,
I didn't just spend three days on this.
For you scratches.
So what I'm hearing is everyone's really against the duck man.
I'm going to message Ward and be like,
hey, look for the broken pin.
You know what I'm going to do before he comes?
I'm going to get Velcro and put it under the tables and chairs.
Like, not Velcro.
I'm like soft felt.
The duds.
The studs.
Yeah, yeah.
Angus bought those for our house.
And you know, all that happens, Pam doesn't shed,
but all that has now accumulated on the Velcro stickies,
bits of fluff and dust.
They're disgusting.
Yeah, okay.
Don't do that.
Don't do it.
Maybe some like soft felt.
Floor is going to get.
It's going to get scratched.
It's going to get.
Yeah, I know.
You know what you should get?
An outdoor rug.
Oh, that's what I was thinking.
That might be nice under the table, actually.
That's what I was actually thinking.
Are outdoor rugs a thing?
I think they are.
Maybe like a rattan.
They get rained on and...
Oh, yeah.
You can get weatherproof ones.
Can you?
Yeah, yeah.
You can.
So they don't get all mouldy and smelly.
They should do that.
Look into that.
I love that, though.
You've spent all this time
and then Morgan's straight away.
I know, I know.
That's what it's for.
I know.
That's what it's for.
I was like, oh, yeah. It's like my mum bought the new couch and then
didn't take the plastic off for months. I'm like, Ma,
what's the point of this? She goes, I don't want it to be ruined.
It's your
most used piece of furniture.
You've got to enjoy it. It's not the people who leave the front
film on their iPhone. It's like, just
peel it off. You've got to use the thing.
Peel it off. Take off the safety thing.
Life is for living. Yes. Decks are for sitting. That's it. You get it. When the thing. Peel it off. Take off the safety thing. Life is for living.
Yes.
Decks are for sitting.
That's it.
You get it.
When Pam scratches it with her claws, though, she'll be in trouble.
Do you manicure her?
No, we need to.
We've never actually ever cut her nails.
Well, now great motivation.
It is.
Because when we're going to run her on the concrete, it sort of shaves them down.
But they're getting very long.
You've got a fresh deck.
Yeah.
You've got to, you know.
Can't wait to see how she handles that.
I love that you have to drug her. Just to get her across a few times. Yeah. But've got to, you know. Come and see how she handles that. I love that you have to drug her.
Just to get her across a few times.
But hey, it is the last show of the year.
Babs, good morning to you as well.
Good morning.
How are you feeling about it?
Babs, that alarm went off this morning.
Were you like, oh, thank God?
Or were you sad?
A little bit of both.
Okay.
Mixed emotions.
You'll be sad on Monday.
I know you will.
I will be sad.
Yeah.
Do you have to come in and do reception on Monday?
Yes, that's also why I'll be sad.
Oh, no, yeah, you'll be clinically depressed.
That sucks.
Hey, speaking of. Yeah.
Babs, Shy Guy, the team, Friday, Forgotten Bangers.
Oh, yes.
Our poll is currently up on the Jess and Ducko Instagram.
It's a landslide.
It is the last one we're doing for the year.
Right now, it's looking like a landslide.
Yep.
Don't want to bury the lead, but it's Babs' choice.
I mean, is she going to get a run on the board in the dying hours of the year?
Maybe.
There's still time to vote.
You never know.
So go and do that now.
Plus, we have Alphabuck's choice for last time of the year, 6.30 and 8.
We have the Yes Forgotten Bangers.
We have Shy Guy's Diary year in review.
Not just week.
I mean, this week was big enough to review.
He's gone and done the whole year.
Oh, it's exciting.
It is exciting.
We have Babs' top three moments of the year.
Oh, my God.
They've done some analysis, these two, behind the scenes.
A little update on me, baby.
You haven't had an update for a while.
Yeah.
Update that for you.
And then after seven, how's this, Ducko?
We have raided the boss's wallet.
We have scrounged for every remaining penny.
We are leaving nothing in the bank.
We want to give it to you,
Rice Cookers,
our Christmas gift to you.
Call up.
Tell us what's on your Christmas wishlist.
Let's go one item each,
hey?
Try and do as many as we can.
Find it in the budget.
We're going to hook you up with it.
You tell us what you want,
how much it costs,
and we will drain the boss dry.
Now, don't come in here and say I want something that's like $4,000
because then no one else gets any presents.
And that's what we're going to demonstrate here.
Love for one another.
Let's not be greedy.
Let's try and help as many people as we can.
That's after seven.
Up next, though, Secret Santa time.
That's right.
Babs knows, I know.
It's more you two.
Yeah, it's our show, guys.
Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. It's more you two. Yeah, it's our show, guys.
It is our last show of the year.
We're going to need some mood music, I think, Daco. Take us to Christmas.
Okay.
I could have said the North Pole, but, you know, transport us.
Do you want the Bieber and Justin?
No, let's go Mariah.
Oh, okay.
Or did you want the Bublé?
Oh, no, I don't mind anything.
I just wanted some jingle bells and I'm hearing them in the background here.
How have we gotten to December 6th and only now playing Mariah?
Well, we do have her in the show today.
Last song of the show.
Do we?
Oh, well, it's nice to top and tail.
A couple of days ago, we were like, are we doing Secret Santa?
I am a big fan.
We did an overrated, underrated just this very week.
We are split down the team because, you know, how much, when,
what's the expectations.
Babs and I revealing that we did have each other.
It's just made things very easy because, you know,
just straight up, what do you want?
I'm not going to waste my money.
You're not going to waste yours. Babs has
bought me a beautiful bag for the markets. Oh, surprise!
Bellissimo!
It's kind of entered my Gingham phase.
Babs has been in for ages.
And I bought Babs a beautiful Gingham t-shirt.
Again, that she chose. So Gingham, that's just
like picnic rug material stuff. Well, it's the pattern.
Gingham is the pattern.
And she's got a lovely t-shirt that I wrapped in a t-tail
because I'm so eco-conscious
well she wants your t-shirt
if you're going to be quiet
it's going to make for
kind of boring radio
sorry sorry
this is why I didn't want to do this
ta-da
oh beautiful
it's almost like I picked it myself
alright well shy guy
you can open yours
okay
now I got this to you
it's quite the box
yeah it's a big box
I got this for you
because I noticed the other day
when we were
open while he's talking so we don't have dead end.
When we were recording something with our audio producer,
you were admiring something in his studio.
Great.
It's a lava lamp.
Just what you want.
We can put it here in the studio.
Because then I was thinking you can put it in the studio
and it can be a showcase Guy's Lave Line.
You turn it on every show.
That means you're ready to go.
Great.
That really feels like it fits you.
Do I need to buy a lighter?
It does fit, right?
We saw it in the shops.
Me and Morgan, I was like, that's Shy Guy.
It's a Lave Line.
That's so cool.
Wow.
I thought you'd like it.
Not to, I know you're not meant to talk about prices,
but under $30.
Yeah.
That's a great Christmas gift.
Thank you.
That's actually really good.
Thank you.
You can take it home as well if you want and put it next to yours.
I feel guilty sharing in that present.
Now yours.
Yes, a big old Ritz.
A what?
Show us.
He can show.
It's a ring and not for your finger.
Because off air, we had a conversation about this.
That doesn't feel right.
That is hilarious.
Where did you get this?
Ming's Erotica.
Britty.
For under 30 again.
Rechargeable vibe ring.
Rechargeable.
Oh, well, when we talk about being eco-conscious.
I was like, what's a bigo ritz?
Because off air we talked about it and you said you wanted one really badly.
I remember that context.
We got given a bunch of stuff.
We did.
They were the one thing missing from yours.
I'd never tried one.
But this is my issue now.
How do you wear and enjoy that without thinking about the giver?
I'm okay with everyone thinking about me.
That's fine.
Well, Merry freaking Christmas, guys.
You see, I paid attention, didn't I?
Yeah, you did.
Honey, I'm coming home.
Wow.
And that's how your secret Santa, guys.
That is brilliant.
I have a bingo wrist.
Right now, Babs has stayed in studio after our secret Santa exchange
because she's been working overtime, Ducko.
Yeah, yeah.
She said, yeah, yeah, Shy Guy's done a year in review.
He's looked back and compiled some of our favourite moments.
We're going to look back from Jan to December.
But Babs wants to put her two cents in.
Morning, Babsy.
Morning.
We kind of said, actually, yesterday's joke off air, I think.
Babs, you make sure you bring your bottom three moments of the year. Mm-hmm. I did. And you Babsy. Morning. We kind of said, actually, yesterday's joke off air, I think. Babsy, make sure you bring your bottom
three moments of the year.
I did. And you've actually done it.
You've actually done it. She's done
some analytics on the show.
Tell us what you've done.
Some analytics. So, the most mentioned
words of the year.
Alphabucks was 11.6%.
Ducko,
20%. Jess, 22%.
Morgan, 3.4%.
Angus, 2.4%.
Rice Cooker, 15.1%.
Wow.
There you go.
Babs, 9.7%.
Shy Guy, 14%.
And NFL, 5%.
NFL should not be in the top 10 most used words.
My NFL tipping.
Because that was new to your repertoire this year, wasn't it?
It was a journey.
Still going, do you want me to tell you about it?
So I think Jess was the top word of the year.
Well, there you go.
That's interesting.
It's not you saying your own.
I don't say my own name.
Well, sometimes.
Sometimes in a story.
So that still counts. But don't say my own name. Well, sometimes. Sometimes in a story. I don't say my own name here, so that still counts.
But I say Jess and Ducko.
Yeah, but I think that AI that we use to do it doesn't know how to spell Ducko.
So I don't think it's accurate.
Because it's not a common name?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, that's interesting.
Because I was going to say, in conversation, you and I say each other's names.
Yeah.
Ask for help, get each other's attention.
I would like to see the numbers on Duckman.
Duckman? Yeah, you say that a bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do like to say Duckman. Yeah, yeah, you say that a bit. Well, that's attention. I would like to see the numbers on Duckman. Duckman?
Yeah, you say that a bit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I do like to say Duckman.
Yeah, yeah, you say that a bit.
Oh, that's interesting.
That is interesting, yeah.
I've got some audio here.
What is this for?
Okay, so this is audio from one of my favourite days that I had on the show.
Okay.
Jess is going to hate this, but maybe...
Are you going to set the scene or are you just going to play?
I'm going to set the scene.
Is this still part of what we're doing?
That's just never thrown into a grab before.
No, shut up.
You shut up.
No.
What did we say?
Always learning.
Okay.
So wait, wait.
Is this still part of the words thing or different?
No, different.
Okay.
So this is, see, this is where you're throwing me off because you talked about the grab.
Sorry.
I was getting to that.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Pretend I didn't know.
Let's rewind.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
We've just laughed at your words.
Okay.
Okay.
So then I put together my top three moments of the year.
Ah.
Yes.
That's good.
You would not have brought that up if we didn't drag it.
Yeah, yeah.
Don't, like, I was slowing down.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, so this grab is from one of my favourite days of the year.
Okay.
And it was the day that we did the banana prank on Jess.
Yeah.
And something happened in the studio after.
I'm going to play the song.
We're going to work out what he's still laughing at.
What's going on?
What do you got going on?
I'll just tell you.
Last week we put a banana under the desk and it just fell off.
And it was meant to land on Jess, but it's just fallen onto the ground.
Oh, my God.
What's wrong with you?
Jess hates bananas.
And so we, oh, this is such a deep setup.
Babs and I heard the banana tape rip and it fell onto the ground.
We're trying to talk about something very important.
I know.
And then Babs messages me and goes, ha, ha, ha.
Oh, man, that was.
I see why that moment stood out to you.
It's hilarious.
I'll break that fail.
I don't think I've laughed so hard in a show as that day.
Really?
Yeah, I don't know why.
It was so funny.
That's a testament to our jobs.
No, because you were getting so angry and it was just a whole thing.
Did I hear that correctly, Chaga?
You said you put the banana under the desk a week prior.
Yeah, it was there for a while. And we were on air and then it just ripped
and it fell down.
We were going to see how long until it stunk and then
you were like, what is that smell?
We're going to get a pallet of bananas and
fill up your car with them
at one point.
That's why I always close my sunroof, just in case
we're going to pull a banana prank.
A banana sunroof prank.
So is that your top moment from 2024?
Wow.
Did you have three of those?
Or was that just, oh.
I also had, I had the best day of my life, I think, on the show too, which was my birthday.
Oh.
Because I got the massages, the free GYG.
Love ya.
Yeah, I reckon that was probably the best day of my life.
Of your whole life.
Of your whole time.
Oh, wow. Your whole time existence. Yeah, exactly. Yep. There you go. That's saying something. From bananas to Guzman. Wow. Yeah, I reckon that was probably the best day of my life. Of your whole life? Of your whole entire life.
Your whole entire existence.
Yeah, exactly.
There you go.
From bananas to Guzman.
Wow.
You've had a rollercoaster of a year, haven't you?
It's been a big year for you, Babs.
I have.
And to be it and not to be it.
I don't know why, but I just love that game so much.
That's a fun game.
That's a fun game.
That was my top three.
Nice.
My top three is when you called all the Razz Cookers morons.
I didn't mean it.
That video is coming.
Stand by.
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 come back, of course, if there is time.
Second last Alphabucks choice of the year.
So we go to Riley.
Good morning, Riley.
Morning.
How are you?
Riley, we're feeling fantastic.
How confident are you, my friend?
Are you going for the grown-up quiz of 10 grand,000 or kids' questions for $1,000?
I'll go with the kids' thing, I think.
Yep, yep, nothing wrong with that.
That's it.
Let's get you $1,000 weeks out from Christmas.
What have you got your eye on to spend the money on?
Well, I'm currently at the airport about to go to Melbourne,
so we're hoping in Melbourne.
Oh, my God, this is fantastic.
Okay, all right.
Live from the airport.
Have a pep in the step if we just win an alpha box as we board.
Wouldn't that be good?
Exactly.
They're not boarding right now.
You're not delaying the plane?
No, no.
Okay, you're right.
He's good.
The letter you are working with today, my friend, is J.
J for Jess.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yep, good letter.
Good letter, solid letter.
We've had some winners with J.
Can lots of people see you right now at the airport, Riley, or are you... No, not at the moment. I'm tucked away hiding. Okay, good letter. Good letter, solid letter. We've had some winners with Jay. Can lots of people see you right now at the airport, Riley, or are you...
No, not at the moment.
I'm tucked away hiding.
Okay, good.
He's in zone.
He's getting very excited.
Well, if we win, I want to hear some hooping and some hollering.
Yeah.
I want security to go over, being like, what's going on over here?
Yeah, what's happening with Riley in the corner?
I've just won Alphaville.
Riley, your time will start after the first question.
You ready to go?
Yep, all good. Starting with the letter J, we time will start after the first question. You ready to go? Yeah, all good.
Starting with the letter J, we need you to name a music genre.
Jazz.
An animal.
Jaguar.
A cartoon character.
Pass.
A body part.
Pass.
A sweet treat.
Jawbreaker.
A Christmas song.
Joy to the world. A drink.
Pass. A planet.
Jupiter. A game.
Pass.
A nursery rhyme. Jack and
Jill. A cartoon character.
Pass. A body part.
Jaw. A dream.
Damn.
Came back around. Got ourselves seven. That's all good. God, came back around. Came back around.
Got ourselves seven.
That's all good.
That's better than I thought I was going to go.
Yeah, you did well.
Cartooning characters are a hard one too.
Like Jack-Jack.
I know, you're not thinking about movie cartoons?
It's got Jessie here.
I don't even know who Jessie is.
Jessie from Toy Story.
Oh, Babs is just yelling through the glass.
Toy Story!
A drink could have been juice and a game could have been Jenga.
You have to go away empty-handed at $100 to spend a MySoda gift box.
That's Australian made and that is all yours, Riley.
Perfect.
Thanks, guys.
Have a great trip in Melbourne, Riley.
Thank you.
See you.
See you later.
We do one more time for the year.
Oh, my God.
That's it.
Oh, my God.
Come on.
And it's the last time we're playing Choice.
Yes.
So if you want to have a crack. That's it. Oh, my God. Come on. And it's the last time we're playing Choice. Yes. So if you want to have a crack.
Yes, at kids.
If you're a grown-up and you think, I could only do easy kids questions, well, 8am is
your last chance.
One more bite of the cherry.
Jess and Ducko.
I got in trouble yesterday for, we had to go Christmas shopping yesterday.
It's a classic last minute thing for my nieces and nephews.
Okay.
What do you get for kids from the ages of like two to seven?
If one thing about being on this parenting journey for just 12 months has taught me,
you only know what you're in.
Yeah.
So the idea of having to go, wait, what does a four-year-old want?
I need to ask another four-year-old.
Exactly.
I've got no clue.
Lucky Morgan has me.
Jeez, I just set that up for you.
You did.
You really did.
Knocked it out of the park.
Lucky she has me.
Lucky.
Because we went to a toy, there was a toy shop.
I love toy shops.
It's just something about like I love touching things.
I love throwing the balls.
I picture you wearing those little backpacks with the lead so you can't run away from her.
But then when you get to the toy shop, she knows there's only one exit so she lets you go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then just follows you.
She still lost me in the toy
shop yesterday and had to call me and I was like,
what? I'm at the back of the balls. I thought you
literally meant over the PA.
Is there a little man
running around somewhere? Answers to
Ducko. He's wearing a blue
skirt. What do you want?
Leave me alone!
Were you wearing your elf
jingle bell shoes?
I get so much work this time of year.
Photos?
Photos?
Yeah, it'd be 20 bucks, kid.
Shut up.
That's why you let your beard grow out, just to keep you.
Mum, that elf has a beard!
That's a man.
But no, we went to the toy store and we're like, what should we get?
And I was like, find the presents for Jack, my nephew, and all these cool things.
But then I wanted a present for me.
Like, I wanted to go home with something.
What did you – like, I've done all this work.
What about for me? I wanted two things.
I wanted a squishy ball, the ones that you squeeze and, like,
the head kind of goes –
Yeah, it pops out.
And then there was, like, a foam NFL ball that I could throw.
And I was like, Morgan, this would be great for my throwing.
She's like, why do you need to practice that?
I was like, shut up.
And who were you throwing it to?
Yeah, the dog.
Morgan's like, I'm not playing catch with you.
I made her get it.
So we went to get it and it had all the presents scanned through
and then my presents were on with no price tag on it
because I was throwing it in the store.
It fell off.
It's because they had you pick up the display.
Oh, no.
You've worn it down already.
They're like, oh, we're going to need to go and check the price out.
Morgan's like, it's fine.
He doesn't need it.
I was like, yes, I do.
Check the price. How much was it? Was's fine. He doesn't need it. I was like, yes, I do. Check the price.
How much was it?
Was it reasonable?
It was like $4.95.
Oh, you've got to add it in.
You've got to add it in.
It just took about five minutes for him to find it and then get his manager,
and then Morgan was just off me.
We got it, though.
But at least you had paid your dues.
You got all the gifts, and I'm sure your nieces and nephews are going to be
so thrilled with your choices.
One of my favorite parts of Christmas Day is now playing with their toys when they get home.
I was about to say, the issue is, do you let them play with your toys?
And you're like, no, this is how you do it.
Mine!
Jess and Ducko.
Woo!
Jess and Ducko.
Every song I download has to pass a series of rigorous tests to answer one simple question.
Is it a banger?
Is it a banger?
Is it a banger?
Forgotten Bangers.
One more time this year.
We put some lead in your pencil, put some pep in your step,
put some arase in your sarase.
We'll get you going.
Hell yeah.
Yeah.
It's Friday Forgotten Bangers.
We bat up four songs, one song each, and you get to vote.
Sweet rice cookers, you get to vote on the Jess and Ducko Instagram page.
Voting has now closed.
It's officially done.
Don't you be scrambling to go cast your vote now.
Yeah.
It was a landslide though, wasn't it?
For our final time, Ducko, we've never seen results like this. We'll quickly race through the three songs that aren't getting up today.
Yep.
Shy Guy, you batted up 303.
Yep.
Katy Perry.
Katy Perry.
Didn't get up.
Didn't get up.
What else didn't get up?
My choice, Just The Fang.
Paul Mack.
Ah, classic.
Bit of fun, I thought.
Bit of fun.
This didn't get up.
Mine didn't get up either, which was Florence and Dizzy Rascal doing You Got The Love Live.
You got the dirty love. You got the dirty love.
You got the dirty love.
That's right, that's right.
That's right.
But she's the winner, so she may as well spruik it.
Babs?
Yeah, I chose Metro Station, Shake It.
This is my first concert, Ducko.
My first concert.
And now it's on for our last show of the year.
Yep.
And 13, 10, 16, we've raided the prize cupboard, the boss's wallet.
We have some cash to give away.
You need to call us within reason and tell us what you want for Christmas.
That's right.
We'll see what we can do.
We'll get you on after Metro Station.
Shake it.
Forgotten.
Friday.
Bang on.
Jess and Ducco.
And Jess got it.
What is this?
A little duck quacking there.
We have raided the boss's wallet.
Boss Jase, the cheeky, cheeky bugger.
Naughty boy.
He was going to go into the new year dragging a couple of pennies.
He was like, nah, we might need it for the new year.
He was like, it's mine.
We said, no, no, no.
We are leaving nothing on the table. Yep.
We want the rice cookers to have everything.
Yeah, we've got Alpha Bucks coming up.
Yeah, we've got the Call of Fame to award at the end of the show.
Yep, 1,000 bucks cash.
But we also have about $1,800 from the boss's wallet that we want to give to you.
Yeah.
So what we thought we'd do, give us a call, 13 10 60.
Tell us something on your Christmas wish list.
Within reason.
Tell us what you want.
Be fair.
We're going to share it with everyone.
If you call up and say, I want a new laptop, and that's $1,800, that's one person we can
help.
But if you can be a little bit reasonable, tis the season, we could maybe get a few people's
Christmas wish list ticked off.
We go to Kylie on 131060.
Good morning, Kylie.
Good morning.
Kylie, Merry Christmas to you.
Merry Christmas.
Nice time of year. Great time of year. Beautiful time of year. We would love to help Merry Christmas to you. Merry Christmas.
Nice time of year.
Great time of year.
Beautiful time of year.
We would love to help you out in any way we can.
Can you tell us what would you like and how much does that cost?
Well, every year I'd bake for my family in like a little grazing box and they get like biscotti and stuff like that.
So with the cost of living, 50 bucks to spend it.
Will this be good?
We can do that. We can make that happen.
Say no more, Kylie. That is
coming your way. What a beautiful
thing to do for your family. And we would
love to help you make that happen.
Just taking 50 for the family. Just a cheeky
50. That's yours. Merry Christmas to the family. Kylie,
enjoy. Thank you. Thanks,
Kylie. Let's go to Jamie. Hi, Jamie.
Hi. What's on your Christmas
wish list, babe, and how much does it cost?
It's $229 and it's a Barbie.
Ooh, what do you need it for?
You've got the in-laws coming, it's Christmas Day, it's summer.
Ours actually died.
Yeah, that's no good.
That's no good.
Weak stuff from Chrissy.
Okay.
And it stops my kitchen being a mess during the summer.
Ah, fair, fair.
Just keep them outside.
I like that.
I like that.
Okay.
That's very reasonable for a barbecue,
don't you think? I think so. $2.29.
Coming your way. Enjoy it.
Thank you so much. Merry Christmas.
Mark on 131060.
Good morning, Mark. Morning, guys.
How are you? Mate, we are so good.
Tis the season. Tell us what's on your Christmas
wish list.
After Astro Bot for the
PS5, it's a game for the kids.
For the kids, Mark, or for you?
A bit of both.
Can you tell us? I've got no sense of how
much that stuff costs. How much is a game
for a PS5?
It's shown about $80.
$80! That feels good!
Coming your way! See, if Mark had called and said,
can I have a PS5? I reckon we would have had to say,
no, we want to help more.
600 bucks or something.
But a game.
A game.
Bang.
$80.
Astrobots is yours, Mark.
Merry Christmas.
And we'll finish off for this round because we're doing it again today.
We will.
Just after 8 o'clock.
But we've got to do quick maths just to make sure.
Yeah, we've got to start.
So what was Mark's?
79?
Yeah.
All right, let's go to Jess.
Good morning, Jess.
Good morning, guys.
What do you want?
Well, my son wants a box of soccer cards.
Soccer cards?
Like collectible soccer cards?
Yeah.
That's very sweet.
How much do soccer cards cost?
$150, I believe.
Really?
That's expensive.
That feels steep for soccer cards.
They better be good.
What's he getting, like a Messi in there, Ronaldo?
I think so.
Okay, all right.
Well, they're topsy players.
They're topsy.
They're going to cost it.
It's coming your way, Jess. $150. $150. Tell them to enjoy those soccer cards. Jeez, that's a very, they're topsy players. They're topsy. They're going to cost it. It's coming your way, Jess.
$150.
Tell them to enjoy those soccer cards.
Jeez, that's a very good... Thank you, guys.
Merry Christmas.
You're very welcome.
That's a good Chrissy gift for Jess's boy.
Isn't it?
And one more here.
That's through Mel.
G'day, Mel.
Hello.
Mel, what's on your Christmas wish list, babe?
My partner would really like some noise-cancelling earbuds.
Some earbuds?
Oh, they're not cheap.
How much are they going to set us back?
$30.
$30?
That's an amazing price.
That's cheap.
Yeah, that's good.
Well, then I think we can spare $30.
I think we can spare $30.
$30 coming your way, Mel.
Enjoy it.
Thank you so much.
Mel, will you put us on the card?
Can you say, dear hubby, love, Mel, and Jess and Ducko?
Yes, sure can.
Yay!
We've got more coming after Alphabucks at 8,
plus Call of Fame of the Year, $1,000 cash.
It's all happening.
It's our last show of the year.
Oh, my God.
Yes!
Five to hub.
Jess and Ducko.
Jess and Ducko.
Right now, Ducko, I have kept you abreast across the year
of all the red cards I've given my husband.
He's had a few.
He's had a few.
And the issue is the guy is 10 out of 10.
He is the perfect husband, father, gentleman.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But.
He's brilliant.
Yeah.
But I just have to make sure his feet stay firmly planted on the ground.
I get it.
And make him aware of some of his, you know, indiscretions.
However, I think we've topped think we've topped all of them.
What he did the other night, I went, this is the worst red card.
This is the worst because it's the first time he's done it
because of the assumed knowledge.
So we went out for dinner with two couples, some really good mates.
It was a bit of a Christmas catch-up.
Went to our favourite restaurant.
We knew vibes were going to be hot.
You were doing that thing where you're like,
I'm going to get what does everyone want to order. You want this, this,
this, this, this, and you were going nuts. This is the thing.
This is the thing. We've been out to dinner
with these guys before, but one of the blokes
in particular, we have very
similar ordering styles,
which is close to give us
one of everything. Because, okay,
before we go any further, Babs, how would you describe
ordering with Jess?
Like, in one word.
She's assertive.
Well done, Babs.
I was going to say scary, assertive.
Remember when we went out to our team lunch, and then Jess is like,
and then she's like, Jess, this is why people are scared of you.
I'm efficient, aren't I, Babs?
Efficient, yeah.
And assertive.
And when I'm doing things like one of everything, you're going to be happy.
It's like before you've even sat down, Jess is like, what do you want?
I'm going to ring this.
Bang, bang, bang, bang.
You're like, oh, my God.
Well, my issue is I always make this mistake.
I come to the restaurants hungry.
And you might be thinking, but it's dinner time.
Yeah.
But it's like you shouldn't go grocery shopping hungry.
When I sit down, before the waitress even says, what sort of water do you want?
I go, can we start with the pizza bread, the burrata, and the marinated peppers?
Thank you very much.
That happens. I need a nibble while I look at the marinated peppers? Thank you very much. That happens.
I need a nibble while I look at the drinks menu.
And you had Macca's before this dinner.
I know that.
They're for good authority too.
Macca's doesn't know that.
Yeah, because I was like three hours to go.
I needed something in the tum-tum.
But no, so I know the vibes were high, but the wine was flowing.
Again, one of our mates, Mitch, he's a wine connoisseur,
so we leave the drinks to him. I know that's not my area of expertise. We leave the wine was flowing. Again, one of our mates, Mitch, he's a wine connoisseur, so we leave the drinks to him.
I know that's not my area of expertise.
We leave the wine to him.
So he got a couple of beautiful bottles for the table.
The wine is flowing.
I'm three glasses deep, Ducco.
Yeah, it might have been a Wednesday, but it is the season.
Angus turns to me and goes, you driving home?
Oh, you've got to discuss it beforehand.
Is that why?
Because I said to Shy Guy, your car wasn't here that day.
Yeah, it was the Thursday morning.
I was like, I bet you they've taken Jess's car to dinner
and they've both drunk and not talked about it
and then you had to get an Uber home.
This is the issue, Ducco.
Yeah.
Because Angus is the way he is and he does genuinely enjoy driving,
he drove us there.
Oh, yeah.
So in my brain, he who has the keys in his pocket is in charge of the vehicle, correct?
Yeah.
You can't turn to me three glasses deep.
At least he's got to lay the seat.
I'll drive us.
So do you want to drive us home?
Just play in the seat somewhere.
Because you know I'm not a massive drinker.
You're not.
I would have been happy to rain.
You're usually two or three and you're done.
And I'm done.
But the vibes.
I caught the vibes.
And by the end of it, I'd probably had six or seven. you're done. And I'm done, but the vibes. I caught the vibes. And by the end of it,
I'd probably had six or seven.
Okay, and you were still going?
Well, at that point he'd asked me, it was three.
And I went, well, no, I can't drive now.
I'm three. Even if I stop drinking,
I'm not going to be sober enough to drive.
That's very irresponsible.
But the fact he turned to me
as a mid-sip of this beautiful
there's a wine called Pecorino.
It's named after a cheese.
It's going to be a good one.
I didn't even know what that was.
Neither did I.
Thank you, Steely.
But I've had a sip and he's gone, you're right to drive home?
No, mate.
No, I can't do that.
So we did have to get an Uber home.
Oh, you did.
And two of the mates were staying at our house.
Oh, because they're not driving.
I start work at 5am.
I went, well, I'm going to have to take your freaking giant Santa Fe.
The whole thing was a shamoz. I went, well, I'm going to have to take your freaking giant Santa Fe. The whole thing was a shamaz.
I went, that's a grade A party fail.
Yeah, I mean, that needs to be a discussion beforehand,
particularly when you've got guests.
Particularly when you've got guests and the responsibility of others.
Did it then ruin the night a little bit?
Absolutely not, because then it was like, oh, well, let's really rip in.
Oh, so you just kept going.
Jess and Daco.
It was our 20-week scan for our unborn daughter.
Our baby feels weird.
I don't know what to call it because I know it's a girl,
but she's still in Morgan and we just like,
our families refer to her as the name that we're going to give her,
which I shan't be sharing.
No, no.
But then that sort of wigs Morgan and me out a little bit
because we're like, let's not, I don't know, jinx anything.
Yeah.
Anyway, everyone knows.
20 weeks is monumental.
I know.
Halfway mark.
Crazy, crazy.
And I actually, I, for the first time yesterday, felt her.
Felt her move.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
How have you kept that in all morning?
I know.
Morgan's like, she's moving, she's moving.
Come touch her.
And I put my hand on and we're on the couch.
And I felt her go and stuff.
How long has Morgan been able to feel her?
About three weeks now.
Three weeks now.
And that is a very weird time. Because, you know, the father or the partner of the child, you
kind of go, I want you to be experiencing this. But it's something obviously only the woman
can enjoy and feel. But now you're in on that moment.
That'll stay with you forever. It was after the scan
too. So we went in for the 20 week scan. All the scans were fine by the way. Everything's okay,
which was a bit of a relief. It was probably the first time I reckon I've seen Morgan in this
entire process when we did the scan and we saw everything.
There's the fibula and the tibia. I'm like, no, that just looks like an alien.
I don't know what you're looking at there. I'm looking at shadows. You can see the back, like the vertebrae
and stuff. Our obstetrician pointed out the stomach. I went, important.
How big is it?
Can I fit in pasta?
But it was the first time Morgan looked at me and I looked at her and we had the moment
of like, I want to say relief of just like.
Was it almost like exhalation?
100%.
It felt like just a sigh of relief.
Like, and she looked at me and she's like, and I saw like weight instantly drop from
her.
Like just, like just, I could see it leaving her face and I could see her look at me.
And it was the first time I was like, oh, she's enjoying this.
Is 20 weeks sort of like, you know, we're checking morphology, we're checking limbs,
we're checking all that.
And that's a real moment of, this could go in many different directions.
Yeah, correct.
So you got the, she's looking fantastic.
Looking fantastic, healthy.
However, there is a however
Which is why Morgan's like
You've done this
She is your daughter
Okay
Because she was rolling around heaps
And the stenographer's like
Do you know what you're having?
Because normally boys roll around a lot
And we're like
We're like yeah
It's a little girl
Is that already a thing
Like in terms of energy
Or movement or whatever
Apparently
Apparently so
That's funny
I know
And we're like
Oh no it's a little
She's a little girl
And she's like
Oh yep there
You can see a little girl there
You can see between the legs Rara, rah, rah, kind of vibe.
And I was like, once again, I'm just looking at shadows.
I don't know what you're seeing.
You're seeing what's not there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or whatever.
But she's like, my God, she won't sit still.
This baby, this baby, it took us an hour and a half to get all the measurements.
I know it's a long appointment.
I don't think it's between an hour and a half.
No, because we just couldn't get her still.
She was just bouncing around, moving around, flying around.
And she's like, oh.
And then literally the sofa is like wiping down the equipment,
looks at us and goes, well, good luck when that one comes out.
And we get in the car and Morgan's like, she is yours.
100%.
That's some Ellen Ducker DNA right there.
Yeah, she's going to be a little psycho.
Because Morgan's one of the most chill, calm people I've ever met.
Yeah, yeah.
She doesn't have energy like I do.
Yeah, and I was like, oh, she is going to be me.
Because you know what they say.
And look, I mean, my daughter, one case study, looks like I do. Yeah, and I was like, oh, she is going to be me. Because you know what they say, and look, I mean, my daughter,
one case study, looks like the dad.
That happens a lot.
Little girls come out looking like the dad.
Apparently dates back to like caveman theory or whatever.
Right.
But that's aesthetics.
Yes.
You've got the energy coming through.
Yeah, yeah.
Even I was like, I'm sorry?
She's going to be nuts.
Well, lucky you have a job that'll get you home by 10am, Ducko,
and you'll be on.
Next year we're working till middays, right?
We're staying later.
Jess and Ducko in the morning.
Jess and Ducko's 10K Alphabucks on hit.
30 seconds to answer.
10 questions all starting with the same letter.
Have to take your first answer.
Can't use the same answer twice.
If you're untrue to the question, just say pass.
Of course, we come back to you if there is time.
This is the last Alphabox choice of the year.
We've had a lot of fun with this because we did about a month of giving kids an opportunity to win $1,000.
But we thought, oh, let's make it a bit easier.
It's primary school age.
And then we went, you know what?
The grown-ups are kind of sucking.
Why don't we give them the choice to play with the kids' questions?
We worked out yesterday.
We still didn't have that much success.
No, but a lot of people have gone for it, which is fun.
A lot of people have gone for it, and we have paid off fines.
Got someone a helmet, a motorbike helmet.
That's right, yeah.
But this is the final time we'll give you the choice.
Next year, it's grown-ups only. Yeah, that's it. That's right, yeah. But this is the final time we'll give you the choice. Next year, it's grown-ups only.
Yeah, that's it. For $10,000.
So, today, our last player for 2024
is Trisha.
Good morning, Trish. Hi,
how are you? No pressure. Trish!
No, but there isn't. There isn't.
No, there's not. Have some fun. Tis the season.
The question is, are you
going to take advantage of still having kids' questions
on the table, or do you want to play the grown-ups quiz?
No, everything in me wants to play the grown-up quiz.
No, I'm going the kids.
Smart option, smart option.
Smart.
Now, I know Christmas is obviously like weeks away, but what do you want to spend $1,000 on?
It should be presents, but I think food and alcohol sounds better.
Yeah, Trish, we love it.
Now, Trish, we do have a surprise for you.
Because yesterday, Shy Guy gave a pump-up to our 8 o'clock player.
It didn't help.
Oh, they didn't win, but they did alright.
True.
Today we're going to give you a pump-up from Shy Guy Trish.
So you sit back, relax, and you enjoy the dulcet tones of the Shy Man.
Okay.
Alright, Trish, here's a little rap, okay?
I completely came up with this all on my own.
Yeah, sure you did.
Yeah, this wasn't AI written at all.
Put your back into a shot, guy.
Here we go.
Trisha's in the zone.
No one says a chance.
Quick with the moves.
Got him in a trance.
Queen of the game.
Always here to slay.
Step up to the game.
She's not playing.
Hey!
You gave the letter away yesterday.
You tell Trisha.
P for penis.
Oh, okay. Oh! Hey, Trisha. P for penis. Oh, okay.
Oh.
Hey, Trisha.
Hey, Trisha.
That's going to come in handy.
Might have been a hint, Trisha.
Might have been a hint for one of the questions, Trish.
It's got to be the first time a penis comes in handy.
Oh, shout out to your husband this morning, Trish.
Oh, Trisha.
All right, well, now we want you to win.
Trisha.
It's got to be the first time one of them's come in handy.
P.
P.
Are you ready?
Your name's Trisha, but is that short for Patricia?
Yeah.
Oh, my God, what a great omen.
Here we go.
P for Patricia.
P for Patricia.
P for P.
Let's go.
Okay.
Your time will start after the first question.
Starting with the letter P, we need you to name a girl's name.
Patricia.
A body part.
Penis.
A nut.
Pecan.
Something you study.
Pathology.
A sport.
Ping pong.
A clothing item.
A pass.
A streaming service.
No pass. A pass. A streaming service. Oh, no pass.
A movie.
A bird.
A, oh my goodness, pass.
Something in the shed.
I give up.
No.
Patricia.
I know.
I got penis.
You got that useless thing. I got my I know. I got penis. You got that useless thing.
I got my own name and I got penis.
But she couldn't get pants.
You couldn't get pants.
You couldn't get pants.
You couldn't get Prime or Paramount Plus and you couldn't get pigeon.
Oh, my goodness.
Sorry.
Well, apologise to Shy Guy.
Yeah, apologise to Shy Guy.
I really tried there for you, Trisha.
You put me off a little bit, actually.
We'll blame Jess and Ducko for that, then.
Shy guy.
Stop putting people off.
Shy guy.
How could you do that?
Oh, Trisha.
Hey, Trish, look, you didn't get it.
We helped you as much as we could.
You don't go away empty-handed, $100 MySoda gift box,
Australian made.
That is all yours.
Perfect.
Thank you, and have a good Chrissy.
You as well, Trisha.
Merry Christmas.
Thanks for being involved in the show.
Thanks for listening.
We appreciate you. Appreciate you. Oh. We do well, Trisha. Merry Christmas. Thanks for being involved in the show. Thanks for listening.
We appreciate you.
Appreciate you.
Oh.
We do play again next year.
Well, there goes that.
Shark Eye, no more AI pump-ups.
Done.
Done.
He was good from you, though.
That was the most energy I've seen from you all year. Yeah, you didn't mark it out.
I've nailed the prompts.
Jess and Ducko.
I just got pissed.
Oh, yeah. Oh, money, money. Money, money, money. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, indeed.
It's our last show of the year.
Giddy up, baby.
Let's do it.
We raided the boss's wallet.
We had some money left over, so we are giving it to you, the rice cookers,
to say a thank you and Merry Christmas.
Boss Jase just came in and was like, don't act like I was keeping money.
It's because no one won Alpha Bucks this week.
We were hoping it would go off.
Yeah, we were trying.
We were trying.
So you know what?
We're not dragging any of it into the new year.
We are leaving it all on the table.
For you, Rice Cookers, call us.
131060, what's on your Christmas wish list?
Or what do you need a little bit of help with?
We'll say, please try not to be too much.
Don't go to the top.
We would love to help as many people as possible,
but it's a finite amount.
We've already done our Cigarette Sanders in the room.
I gave Shy Guy a live lamp and he gave me a ring.
And we'll leave it there.
It's not for your finger.
We go to Byron.
Good morning, Byron.
G'day, legends.
How are you?
Good.
We are so good.
What do you need, my friend, and how much does it cost?
After one of the Webby and Baby Qs, $250.
Oh, they're so good too.
That's awesome.
For these beautiful balmy nights we're having.
Chuck a couple of stags on there.
Take it camping.
Byron, it's yours, mate.
Enjoy it.
Legend.
Thank you, guys.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Byron.
Thanks for being a part of the show.
Samantha, hello.
Hello.
How are you?
Babe, good.
What do you want and how much will it cost?
I just wanted to spend the night in Sydney for a little baby move.
So it'll be $150 for me and my husband.
Where are you thinking of going?
I've booked a place at the Hyatt.
So I just thought it would be nice to put towards that if babies are expensive.
Yes, 100%.
Well, we can do that.
That's all yours.
I'm having a little girl too, duck.
When are you due, Sam?
1st of March.
Oh, beautifully.
Be just before me.
Let me know how you go.
Oh, I love that.
Congratulations.
Enjoy.
Thanks so much.
Thank you.
We go to Ellie.
Good morning, Ellie.
Hello.
How are you?
Ellie, we're so good.
We know this can be an expensive.
Oh, I'm so proud.
We haven't given it to you yet. We might say no.
We know it's an expensive time of year and we'd love to help you
out, but the question is, what do you want
and how much will it cost? I truly
head at vouchers for either
Coma or Big W just to get some
gifts for the kids. Yeah, and how
much do you think? How much would help
you out? $100 each, so
$200 total. Two kids, $100 each.
We can do that. That's very
reasonable. Oh my god!
Well done. Merry Christmas to you and the family.
Merry Christmas! Thank you, Ellie.
We hope that goes a really long way.
It really does. Oh, legend.
Thanks for being a part of the show.
Well, thanks for listening. Thanks for being a part of the show.
I always am.
Thanks, Ellie.
That feels good. Let's keep going.
Hayley, good morning.
Good morning.
Tis the season, babe.
What do you want and how much does it cost?
Well, I would like a new Xbox controller for my son as he's broke last night.
Perfect timing.
And they're overly expensive for controllers.
So not the actual...
$84.
$84.
Okay, it's coming your way.
You need to get a new controller for them.
Well done.
Thank you so much, guys.
Lucky Hayley's son only broke the controller and not the actual console
because we might have had to say no.
But controller, no worries.
We go to Steph.
Good morning, Steph.
Good morning, guys.
Babe, what do you want and how much will it cost?
Steph?
Yeah, we're here.
Sorry.
What would you like?
A new phone?
I'd just like to get two bikes for my little girls for Christmas.
Okay.
How much do bikes cost?
How much do you think I go for these days?
Like $120 each these days.
Oh.
Expensive.
Okay.
So what, $240?
Quick math.
That is all yours.
$240.
Enjoy it.
Thank you. We've got money in the kitty. Merry? Quick math, that is all yours. Enjoy it. Thank you.
Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas
to you and your girls, Steph. Make sure you put Jess and
Ducko on the card, okay? Absolutely.
We will do. But look, Ducko,
we're getting to the bottom of the kitty here.
Let's see how much we can still do.
We go to Emma. Good morning, Emma.
Good morning.
Merry Christmas to you, Em.
How much do you need this Chrissy to take a bit of pressure off?
I have a lay-by that I still need to get out for $220,
and I just had to pay $250 for my car air-con to be regassed.
So to help with that would be amazing.
All right, well, you need air-con for the bloody summer,
but now that's taken away from the lay-by.
So what do you reckon, Ducko?
Do quick maths.
$2.20 for the Christmas lay-by.
$2.20.
You could do that.
Yeah!
There we go.
That's all yours.
Congratulations, Emma.
Thank you so much.
Merry Christmas.
And let's wrap up here with Bron.
Good morning, Bron.
Oh, yeah, hi.
So I was looking at my mum went into aged care this year
and I'd like to thank all the staff.
So I'm looking at three gift hampers,
maybe around $50 each for the morning staff, the night staff and the admin staff.
Oh, there you go.
All right.
Thank you, staff.
Thinking of others, she's not even doing it for herself to say thank you.
They do a fantastic job and they're just so accommodating.
Oh, they're angels.
Yes, and they go beyond their, you know.
Their purview, absolutely.
You're getting a note here from the boss here, Ducker.
Yeah, $150 will push us over budget.
So what do we do?
The whole amount, over the whole amount.
But I think it's...
Let's do it!
Everyone, we're going to look after you.
We're going to look after your mum and those angels.
It's coming your way.
Thank you.
$150.
Thank you so much.
And they will love it and they'll appreciate it.
Hey, thanks for being part of the show.
Thanks for listening, Bron.
Okay.
Thank you, guys.
Appreciate it.
Merry Christmas, Bron.
There you go.
Merry Christmas to everyone out there.
Oh, that's awesome.
Fantastic.
I'm feeling a lot of love here.
Yeah.
I'm feeling good.
Yeah.
This is wonderful.
Do you want to do the Call of Fame of the Year next?
Oh, my God.
We will hear our winner for the best caller of 2024.
And what are they going to walk away with?
$1,000 cash.
Holy moly!
Jess and Ducko.
Jess and Ducko.
It's our last show of the year.
Which is fitting that we have a look back at the year that's been.
Usually Shy Guy's diary encapsulates the week that's gone.
You know, some great moments.
Some wonderful contributions are usually in there.
And this week has been a standout.
Some of the contributions from the cookers.
My goodness.
My goodness indeed.
But Shy Guy went, guys, no, no, no. What I've done, he sat down with the whole diary. He said, hold my lava lamp. I've done more. He said, hold my lava lamp.
Well, the lava lamp's still heating up. Your very generous Secret Santa
gift to Shy Guy. Which is so fitting.
And he's one for me, which we can't now talk about.
You can wear it, though. You're very keen for me, which we can't now talk about. No, no. A bit naughty. You can wear it, though.
Mate, you're very keen for me to wear this thing and think of you. It is nice to know, like, when people
give the baby gifts, I always, whenever
I remember, I go, hey, she's wearing the
hat you bought her. You're going to have to do that.
Oh, I don't need a photo. It's okay.
I'm wearing the ring you got me.
It's nice to know the gifts appreciated.
Like, I bought Babs a t-shirt. If she doesn't
wear that in my sight, I'd like to know.
Yeah.
You know, that the money went somewhere good.
Exactly.
But back to the diary.
Oh, yes.
It's the year that was.
Please look back at the whole freaking year.
Yep.
So settle in.
Yep.
Sit back, relax.
Let's enjoy.
Enjoy, yep.
Well, what a year it's been with Jess and Ducko.
Myself and producer Babs were new to the show and hasn't it been a wild ride?
We've learned a lot about the guys over the last 12 months and you rice cookers have joined us on the journey.
I dropped my baby.
I looked down and the kitten is sucking on my nipples.
Good morning.
How are you?
I can't believe we're even having this conversation.
I knew it from the start that honey, he's rich.
He sneezed and popped a nut.
So let's look back at 2024.
Now, without getting too technical,
we broadcast this show on a 10-second delay across the state.
So in case we go rogue,
we can chop something out that we don't want broadcasted.
It works really well, like when a caller accidentally says,
fuck or shit, and Ducko's usually pretty quick to get rid of it.
But when it comes to dumping himself, he missed this one.
How are you?
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Stayed up late?
Stayed up late.
Yeah, really late.
Heart rate was about 110 through that origin.
Yeah, that's unbelievable.
The majority of it.
Was your little watch going, hey, hey, hey, do I need to call someone?
It didn't say workout, but when we put it on resting heart rate,
genuinely, it was 110 the first half.
And you've got to think, like, I'm sure they're a relatively accurate device,
but, you know, it's not right on your pulse sort of thing.
Maybe it was bloody a little less than it actually was.
What do you mean?
Could it have been higher in reality?
Do you know what I mean?
It's not like a medical piece of equipment.
110's pretty high.
I reckon you might have been even higher.
110's pretty high to be sitting on your couch.
Absolutely.
That's like watching the telly.
That's some bad territory right there.
That is.
How do you feel today?
Are you exhausted?
I'm sorry.
I'm just...
Oops, my bad.
My bad.
There you can tell.
I think you've just captured...
There you go.
Why?
I didn't even dump it.
I'm tired.
I'm tired, yeah.
You're tired?
And I'd argue...
I couldn't sleep till like 1am.
I'd argue emotionally.
I was adrenaline...
I was jacked.
Emotionally.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you weren't jacked up on Mountain Dew. And you were laying that one slide everyone. Jess isn't known as the cleanest
one on the team. She doesn't even wear deodorant and we discovered she had some worms inside of her
or were they? My husband isn't particularly happy with me this morning. I had to get him out of bed
and it turned out I probably should have just left him sleeping and handled it myself like a big girl.
Head to the living room to do some pumping.
I do my Duolingo, trying to teach myself Italian.
While you're pumping in the morning.
While I'm pumping, I steam as well.
I'm trying to get my vocal cords ready for a big morning of chitter-chatter.
This morning, I had to run back into the room saying,
Angus, help me.
There's a worm on Lucia's play mat.
They are horrific creatures.
How big was the worm?
How big's that?
Like, what, you're talking like 20, 30 centimetres?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, let's go 20.
It was a decent worm.
So I've seen it in this sort of, you know, dim light,
and I'm like, I'm not dealing with that.
It's too early.
So Angus gets up and he's like, okay.
But he loves me, so of course he gets up.
Goes to the cupboard to get a bowl because he believes me that there's a worm.
Comes over and he goes, Jess, I'm going to bed.
And I was like, no, but the worm.
It was a frigging pad see you noodle that I dropped.
Because remember I told you I'm trying to transition us to eating at the table?
That's why you're better off eating in bed.
Because when he sees the pad see you in bed, at least he knows.
Was it pad see you or pad thai?
Whatever, it was a noodle.
It was a big long noodle.
It was a long noodle.
It was a noodle.
But in my early stage.
You didn't even put a torch on it and check to see if it was a worm?
No, it was the dim light.
You just freaked out, woke him up to pick up your spilt pad see you noodles. I just saw
in the dim light a worm-like shape. I thought, it's too early
to deal with this crap. My husband, for better or worse, in sickness and in health,
worms or noodles, you have to deal with that. That's why you got that tattoo on your back.
Number 12 with black bean sauce. It was just that. Speaking of food, Jess told us she
flies in fresh pasta from Adelaide once a quarter.
Yes, you heard right.
Flies fresh pasta from Adelaide every quarter.
The bulk order raised concerns at their headquarters,
which prompted a call from the company's owner
to her husband, Angus.
He gets a call about an hour later after placing this order
and he can see it's from a South Australian number
and he goes, oh, could this be that distributor?
I better pick up the call.
And they say, hi.
He goes, hello, Angus speaking.
They say, hi, Angus.
It's Maria from blah, blah distributor.
We just wanted to confirm your order because we've never seen an order
of this size.
This must be for a giant restaurant.
Surely this is for a giant restaurant.
Maybe we can get your wholesale rates. Back her up, boys.
Here they come. So, first issue
was they have a
flat shipping rate,
which is very nice to see.
$25. And they went, look,
it's a 20 kilo
parcel. It's going to be a little more
than $25. 20 kilos
of pasta. It's going to be a bit more than $25. Holy hell. Set shipping. It's going to be a little more than $25. 20 kilos of pasta.
It's going to be a bit more than $25.
Holy hell.
Set shipping.
It's going to be $80.
I want to know the price of this order.
Don't worry about it.
No, I want to know.
Don't worry about it.
It's going to last us until the end of the year.
I'm going to turn the mics off.
You're going to tell me the price.
My God.
Jess.
It's a lot. I mean, not a lot of money. It's a lot of food. It's a lot.
I mean, not a lot of money.
It's a lot of food.
It's a lot of pasta.
Plus shipping.
Plus shipping.
I feel like at that point they could have thrown in the shipping.
Hayley Walsh broke the internet earlier this year.
If you don't remember her, this might jog your memory.
Oh, you've got to give them that hock tour.
Of course, we've got you, our wonderful rice cookers,
to call in and give us your best hock tour. Good morning, Steve. Good morning. Hey, mate, give give him that hock tour. Of course, we've got you, our wonderful rice cookers, to call in and give us your best hock tour. Good morning, Steve.
Good morning. Hey, mate, give us your best hock tour.
Spit on that thing. You gotta give him that
hock tour. Spit on that thing.
There was a bit of phlegm in that. Steve, your tour
is better than Hayley's tour.
Can you give me that one more time?
Hock tour.
You sound like a sound effect.
It does. Like an animated film. I'm gonna get that. You should do sound effects for a living. I'm gonna get that sound effect on an animated film.
I'm going to get that sound effect on my arm.
Button button now forever, Steve.
That's better than the original.
Lockie, have you seen this clip?
Have I ever.
Have I ever.
He loves it.
All right, Lockie, give us your best hock two and spit on that thing.
Oh, you've got to give me that hock two and spit on that thing.
That was actually really good.
Jesus.
I mean, it's Lockie or Steve for me.
Yeah, Lockie or Steve have been the front runners.
This is unbelievable.
Oh, Mitch, wrap us up here.
Mitchie, steer us home.
Land us in the Hudson.
Give us your best.
Spit on that thing.
All right.
You ready?
Yeah, I'm ready.
All right.
You got to give it that.
Spit on that thing.
Did you actually spit just then? Yeah, well, you on my face. Did you actually spit just at me?
Yeah, well, you got to commit.
The commitment from Mitch.
You could hear the lurgy, like you could hear it coming out of his throat.
That was unbelievable.
Charlie XCX took over the world with her Brat album this year,
which really brought in our vocabulary.
Vocabulary.
Vocabulary.
Vocabulary.
Vocabulary.
No.
Okay.
Thank God we have producer Babs, our resident Gen Z on the show,
keeping us in check.
But Babs, what is brat, first of all?
Well, Charlie XCX has just put out an album called Brat,
and basically it's like the album of the summer.
Everyone's loving it, and the kind of vibe it's giving off,
it's just brat.
As in, like, the literal definition of brat?
Like, you're naughty, you don't play by the rules.
Yeah, kind of, yeah.
Okay.
Kind of giving that vibe, like the fun, silly.
It's very silly, yeah.
This has been Charlie.
What the heck is this?
Charlie.
Brat.
This is Charlie and Billie.
Is this giving brat?
Yeah.
And like there's been some really cool...
So you want to be brat because usually when my mum calls me a brat,
she's not happy with me.
You want to be brat.
But now if my mum calls me brat,
she's actually complimenting me.
We used to be aat, it was bad.
Yeah, now Brat.
Have we reclaimed the word Brat?
We're spinning it.
Okay, dap.
When you dap someone up, a handshake.
So dap is like handshake.
Yeah, so you go and dap someone up.
D-A-P for Peter, not D-A-B for Brat.
Can I lock in D-A-P for Peter?
Dap.
And how do you use it in a sentence?
I know, just dap someone up.
Would I say that to the person?
I'm about to get ready.
I'm about to dap you.
Me and my homies, we dap up.
Dap.
Yeah.
We've played a lot of games on this show,
like Wavelength, Wordioki, Year of the Song,
just to name a few,
but none compared to the time we snuck
Ducko's baby announcement into a special edition
of Quiz with a Twist featuring his wife, Morgan. Jess had no idea what was about to happen time we snuck Ducko's baby announcement into a special edition of Quiz with a Twist,
featuring his wife Morgan.
Jess had no idea what was about to happen while we played the game.
Very special guest in studio.
My wife is in the studio.
Morgan, good morning.
Good morning.
Morgan's never been on the show before.
Playing Quiz with a Twist.
That's right.
Each question has a twist.
Someone who's pregnant starting with the letter M.
Morgan.
Surprise.
We're having a baby.
Oh, my God.
Congratulations, guys.
That's unbelievable.
How do you feel?
It doesn't feel real.
It doesn't.
No way. So it's like a relief mixed with, like, fear, I think.
Yeah.
I am gobsmacked.
We do know the gender.
We are having a girl.
Oh, yeah.
Thank God.
Happy little girl.
Congratulations.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's nothing better.
Baby bump.
My baby, baby bump.
We've held a few events this year where we got to meet you lovely rice cookers,
and unfortunately, Ducku and I showed up at one of these events in the same shirt,
which I got scold for from the duck man.
You copy my fashion.
He does.
I said, I know I have.
Bro, how have we not talked about the knit?
The knit.
That's all I was just about to say.
Why didn't you realise it was a knit?
On Friday, I said, don't wear a knit.
He goes, I don't even think I own a knit.
I get into the car.
I was like, motherfucker, that's a knit.
That's what I said.
It literally was.
And you know what he said to me? Because I went, bro, Ducco literally said, don't own a knit. I get into the car, I was like, motherfucker, that's a knit. And you know what he said to me? Because I
went, bro, Ducko literally
said, don't wear a knit because he
was going shopping. He goes, I don't know what
a knit is. I went, whatever.
He used to work in fashion.
He knows what materials are and he knows how to
check tags. You worked at
Cotton On.
I don't have to keep reminding you.
But you know what he said to me? He goes, hang on a minute.
Duckos has buttons.
Mine doesn't have buttons.
Mine didn't have buttons.
Yeah, it did.
Mine, v-neck button.
No, it doesn't have buttons.
Yeah, it doesn't have buttons.
No, it didn't.
I'm going to look at the photo.
Video is on the Instagram now.
And not like shirt buttons, like a decorative button.
Yeah.
Oh, but it did not even have a button.
Okay, you didn't have buttons.
I apologize.
That was incompetence.
Yes, it did.
I know what you were wearing.
Well, that's it from us for 2024.
We'll be back next year, and if you plan
on going away this summer, remember,
it's never a cheap trip with Jess. So I was on a
flight down to Melbourne, was going to
surprise my parents, had the small baby with me.
Now, my husband does all my
life. I mean, he booked the flight.
He put me on a window.
Now, when it's him and I, that's fine.
Window and middle, where, you know, why are you laughing?
He put me on a window.
Do you know what the issue was?
He placed me here.
Do you know what the issue was?
Freaking virgin.
The flight was full.
No business class seats available.
I'm so sorry. So I had to sit in economy. Oh flight was full. No business class seats available. I'm so sorry.
So I had to sit in economy.
Oh, shut up.
You're not that person.
You should have charged you a flight.
I agree.
After this,
after this incident,
I'm like, never again.
Yeah.
See you in 2025, Rice Cookers.
We've just been reminiscing all morning,
during the songs, during the ads,
how wonderful this year has been.
We are truly privileged.
It's so good.
And we're so grateful to do what we do.
And the audience we've had, whether it's the existing one we had or new one that have come in.
New to the family.
We are in awe at 9 o'clock every day of what you tell us,
how you contribute, the way you do, whether it's text, online,
on our socials or on the phone.
And every week we try and dangle a Call of Fame prize.
Yes, it's to encourage you, but it's also to thank you.
Being our last show of the year, our Call of Fame was $1,000 cash.
Obviously open to people who contributed this week, but also to everyone who has gotten
involved across the past 12 months.
And it was hard to shortlist it to five.
We don't have time to do all the honourable mentions because that would have taken up
the whole three-hour show.
Even this week alone, there's been a couple that could have snuck in.
I couldn't agree more.
Yeah, it's been very good.
But we are going to award that $1,000 right now.
Shiger, you've been furiously trying to work out when we had this contribution.
I think it was in March.
I think it was in April.
March, April?
Okay.
Yeah, March or April.
We asked for naughty names.
Now, Tucker, I can't even remember what the catalyst of that conversation was.
Naughty names.
I can't remember if it was an article.
Was it someone in the news at the time?
Possibly.
I don't even remember why we did it.
Because you know what?
This person's story blew every other story out of the water around that.
It's also our most viewed video on our Instagram and our TikTok.
It was one of our most liked clips.
Absolutely, by a mile.
When we met Aunty Nikki.
We met Aunty Nikki when we asked for naughty names
and this was what she said.
Nikki, naughty names, what have you got for us?
My name's Nikki.
My nieces and nephews, when they were young, about two and three,
couldn't say Aunty Nicky, so they said Aunty Licky,
but I happen to be lesbian.
Do you want to take this one, Duggo?
I would love it.
Aunty Licky. That's fantastic. Do you want to take this one, Duggo? Arnie Leakey.
That's fantastic.
You hit me out of nowhere.
I didn't see that coming, Nikki.
Do we give Nikki the pink tickets now?
What do we do?
I happen to be lesbian.
Sorry, the funny thing about that, kids, is Arnie Leakey.
Oh, Arnie Leakey, that's sensational.
Oh, that's so funny. That is sensational. Oh, that's so funny.
That is just.
Oh, wow.
There's so much low-hanging fruit, I don't know what to do.
That's wonderful.
Nikki, you are fantastic.
Thank you for getting involved.
You have made my Monday.
So you said that was when they were little, but did that catch on?
Are you just Aunty Licky now?
No, no.
I'm Aunty Nikki now, but my mum and dad are named Richard and Wilma.
So dad is Dick and she is Willie,
so they introduce themselves as Dick and Willie, a pair of dicks.
You are the gift that keeps on giving.
I know.
I need those pink tickets and it's all through.
Oh, Likki, they keep it coming your way.
Don't you worry about that.
Fourth of March at 6.45, 6.54am.
Nikki, she did win the pink ticket.
She enjoyed the concert, but she joins us now on 131060.
Nick, good morning.
Good morning.
Sorry, I should say Aunty Licky.
Aunty Licky.
Firstly, how was pink?
Pink was fantastic.
She was great.
We got rained on all night and it was just great.
You had a good time.
Arnie Licky loves it.
Thank you so much.
Yeah, it had a ball.
Well, the good times keep rolling because you are our Call of Fame of the Year winner.
Congratulations.
Oh, thank you.
That's so cool.
Thank you so much.
You've won $1,000 cash, Arnie Licky.
What are you going to spend the money on?
I'm going hot air ballooning with my partner. Oh, there you go.
He doesn't have a funny name too, does he?
She? No, she...
She, sorry.
No, she doesn't have a funny name.
No, no, it's Aunty Licky, Aunty Licky.
We have enjoyed...
Yes, sorry, Aunty Licky.
When I walk around at work now, Aunty Licky
has been revived. I walk into
different wards and it's Arnie Licky.
So they all heard it, Licky?
Yep.
Oh, that's funny.
Well, congratulations.
You set the tone for a lot of our calls, I think, for the year.
I think so.
I took to have that contribution for a new member of the Rice Cooker community.
Yeah, so good.
We love you, Arnie Licky.
Thank you so much.
You made our year.
Thank you to Jess and Ducco and everyone else who loved it. Yes. you, Aunty Licky. Thank you so much. You made our year. Thank you to Jess and Daco and everyone else who loved it.
Yes.
That was everyone, Licky.
You went viral, Aunty Licky.
You went viral.
Jess and Daco.
Jess and Daco.
Just gone nine o'clock.
Last show of the year.
Of course, we are back returning Jan 13.
Is that it?
I love that there was a question mark at the end of that.
Yes.
You know me and dates.
I'm going to text you Jan 12. Good. Why don I love that there was a question mark at the end of that. Yes. You know me and dates.
I'm going to text you Jan 12.
Good.
Why don't you switch off after this?
Yeah.
Why?
You do your professional development.
Obviously.
I'll be doing mine.
Yeah.
I'll text you Jan 12.
Yeah, good.
Set your alarm.
Okay, good.
I'll be here.
But we just need to say the biggest wholehearted thank you.
We've been sort of peppering it throughout today, but we have not shut up during the songs and ads just reminiscing about this year.
What a year it was.
We had no idea what this year was going to look like for us,
how we were going to go.
You and I obviously have been together for so long, Ducco,
but new team in Shy Guy and Babs.
Yeah, they could have sucked.
They could have.
I mean, that was a genuine fear.
But they didn't.
They were great.
But they didn't.
They stepped up more than anything.
I mean, you and I, we're guaranteed to have a laugh.
Good time.
Good time.
Lucia could have hindered it, but she didn't.
Thank you, Lucia.
I bitched about her a bit this morning.
We had a rough day yesterday.
And then I caught myself going, I came back to work after three months.
She allowed that.
And she allowed that because she's pretty cool.
So I'm going to stop whinging when she's upset because of constipation.
Because we
were able to come back hit the ground running in Jan and haven't we had. So much fun. So
much fun. It's been such a big year. Mainly because of the Rice Cookers. The Rice Cookers.
You guys are great. And like we said earlier to our listeners that were already there,
we love you. To our ones who've come in and joined the big chaotic family this year, thank
you so much. Yeah. It's going to be bigger next year, bigger and better. It's going to
be a huge year and we can't wait to be back.
Absolutely.
We hope you've had a laugh as much as we have.
We are so grateful to do what we do and all the best feedback we get is, oh, geez, I laughed
on the way to work today.
Yeah.
And that's all we want to do.
Just set your day up.
Bit of a fun escape.
Bit of a fun escape.
We are always here for you as we know you are for us.
Yep.
And it's been one hell of a 2024, obviously, with
Ducko and Morgan's announcement. Yeah, we're going to have a little baby
next year. We're going to show baby. You're going to have...
There's just so much more fun to be
had in the new year. Yes. And if this
year has set anything up for us,
it's just the joy and the love
and the laughs. So good. And I hate to
do one of the cliche, but live, laugh, love
in full bloody swing.
Babs just vomited out there.
No, thank you, everyone.
Thank you, Shaga, as well.
You did a fantastic job, mate.
Thank you.
It's been good to have you on.
We appreciate you.
You guys have been a lot of fun this year.
Perfect timing, Ducco.
The lava lamp you gave him at 6am this morning has just formed its first bubble.
And is now bouncing all over the place.
So that's just a wonderful omen.
And thank you to you, Babs, as well.
New to the team, new into Breakfast Radio,
and I think we finally got the real Babs out,
which has been good.
Yeah, I've had heaps of fun, guys.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Even when she says it, it doesn't sound like she has.
I have.
I know.
I can hear the sincerity in your voice.
Yeah, yeah, totally.
But hey, we're out of here.
We're not back Monday.
Yeah, wild.
But we'll be back Jan 13, so that's exciting.
But you can always get in touch.
Our Jess and Ducko socials.
Don't text the text line.
No one's checking that.
No one checks that at the best of times.
Next year we will, though.
We're going to see.
Yeah, I'm going to set it up permanently.
But no, we'll be on socials and whatnot.
We'll try and keep you up to date with what's going on.
Yeah.
But Jan 13, strap in for a huge new year.
Massive.
It's going to be a big year.
It's going to be a big year of shows.
It's going to be.
What's going on?
Absolutely.
Whatever your Christmas looks like. Enjoy it. We hope it's wonderful. Have a big year of shows. It's going to be. Lots going on. Absolutely. Whatever your Christmas looks like.
Enjoy it.
We hope it's wonderful.
Have a great New Year.
We'll see you next year.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
And he gives me the fattest wedgie ever.
Said Aunty Licky, but I happen to be lesbian.
Just a little thrush.
We're a little beef hooked.
And possibly bend you over.
Jingle, jingle, jingle.
Jess and Ducko.
That was the Jess and Ducko podcast.
Gather your little helpers because the elf on the shelf Happy Meal has arrived at Macca's.
