Macca's new Tennessee BBQ range, now touring for a limited time. Jess and Daco! This is the Jess and Daco podcast. It's Jess and Daco, it's our podcast team. Now Jess, on the show yesterday, and it was in the diary today, so here in this, you were telling me about how upset you were with how we don't hug. Correct. And how I don't hug you, but then I hug other people I haven't seen in a while,

and I said in my defence, like, I don't hug anyone on this team, I'm not a big hugger, I don't like hugging, I think it's a hype thing, but I will hug someone who haven't seen them for a while because I feel rude not. And I did say, it's that classic thing of you hurt those closest to you the most. You try to make me feel better by saying, we have like a sibling relationship and you don't hug your blood sisters, so why would you hug me? But seeing you hug our mutual friends the other day, granted, you don't see them as often. They had also just had a baby, literally a day apart from you having yours. Still hurts, man. It still hurts. I don't know how to greet you. And it's weird

to not know how to greet one of my best mates. It's weird. Yeah, I'm just not a hugger. I don't hug you babs. I couldn't, sorry, I could tell you Mike on. No, you. Yeah. I'm, yeah, I'm still hugging. I'm not a good, I don't hug you Babs. I couldn't, sorry, I could tell you Mike on. No, you don't. I couldn't imagine hugging anyone in this team. We talked about no one touches Babs. Yeah. Yeah, I don't really like hugging. Do you hug random people you haven't seen in a while as well?

Um, it depends who they are. When we have a listener event Babs, which we've had multiple of now, and you and Shy Guy are absolute superstars because everyone wants to get some FaceTime with Shy Guy and Babs, do you hug the rice cookers when they greet you? No, I don't. Do they try to hug you? Yeah, they do. And I will, like if someone tries to hug me, like I'll accept it, but I don't really like

it. I don't know why. I'm just strange. Okay. So that's another non-hugger, but Shy Guy- So we've got three non-huggers in the team. Yeah. It's interesting, isn't it?

But Shy Guy's mom, Mrs. Guy, brought something to the attend- because she only caught up on yesterday's show today. She was listening to yesterday's show this morning. Okay, I love that. She will not go to date until I've caught up in what's past. She had to pause yesterday's episode this morning on her drive to work to talk to Siri and send me a text that says, listening to the end of yesterday's show, please let Jess know Ducko hugged me when we met at Spotlight.

And she put out her hand for a handshake and I slapped it away and then just gave her a hug. So now we've heard from VIP rice cooker Sophia who said when you met her for the first time, she got two hugs from you. Now I'm hearing from Mama Guy. Sorry. Happy to hug her as well. Here's the thing though, right? Here's my counter. Is Shago's mom is short.

Like she is like up to my, like she's a bitch all near my chin. So I feel like when I hugged her. The motorboat theory. Yeah, so when I hugged her, I feel like I could swarm her in and keep her safe and protect her. She could motorboat you if the mood struck.

You know what she did? I told you, she absolutely went for it. I was like a toilet holder at the time. She lifted your hoodie. She got flesh to flesh. You know what's funny? I actually, I never have the urge to hug anyone, but seeing Shaggy's mom, I was like, Oh, hello! I just gave her a big hug. It was so out of character for me. And I imagine the same would happen if you ever met Grandpa Brian. Oh.

Babs is... I don't know about that. Is he tall? You got me. Um, yeah, kind of. I'd motorboat that son of a bitch, wouldn't I motorboating him. Brrrr, coming in bright. I don't know if he would love that. He would love it.

But also there is an element there, the motherly, like you hug your mum. Do you hug your mum? Yeah, well yeah, when I see her, if she goes out for it, otherwise I don't initially. I was going to say, is it a mum thing? Because you're hugging mums. I mean, I've got photos of you basically making out with my mum from my wedding. But that was different. You know, there's a few drinks that were had.

You had smuggled in those Wees bars. You played her like a fiddle. She'd go, Oh, a Wees bar on the G floor. Come here. So I was going to say, are you a mother hugger? Shy guys, mum, my mum. question mark of your own mum. Okay, we need to get Simone, Babs' mum and you in a room. We met you.

I want to see what you naturally do. We met Simone at the golf course. There were too many people in front of me to hug her. I do my best work when no one's looking. Yeah, because if you'd opened that can of worms, you would have been open to 60 hugs. You know what I mean? Oh yeah. You've got to be careful. Is your picture a do because I'd hate it. Like I try and break the world record

for hug attempts in one minute because I just hate it so much. Well, actually that puts you in great stead cause you probably go through them faster. Yeah. You know, there would be no lingering hugs. You'd be like, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. Yeah. Whereas I'd get lost in them. You'd be like, oh my God, you feel them up. Oh, look at you, you feel so strong. Yeah, you're motivating them. So the Guinness World Record for the most hugs is 9,277. In what period of time?

Oh, fuck, I'm not doing it for 24 hours. No, no, that's way too long of a time period. Why did they let that as the time period? It should be like two minutes. Is there, yeah, is there a minute period? A 24 hour period? The most hugs given in one minute by an individual is 88. Okay.

Jesus Christ. Can there be like 88 people in one minute? I reckon I could. That's less than a second a hug. That's very quick. Yeah, I reckon I could. I reckon you could too. I reckon you could.

But see, what constitutes a hug? Yeah, I think it's just hands around back, hands around off. Yeah. Okay, but do you know, your nipples have to connect. Possibly. Because that's usually slapping backs then. Yeah, that's true. Where does it go from slapping backs to hugs?

In India, the record for the most hugs given in one hour is 2,436. He doesn't want a hug for an hour. Who doesn't? An hour's a long time. 2,000 people. An hour's a good timeframe though, where it is hard work. I mean, it feels too short, 24 hours is too long. Maybe we do like an hour is a good time frame though where it is hard work I mean it feels too short 24 hours is too long

Maybe we do do an hour and we just have a hugger phone for an hour and we'll do it We'll broadcast it live and you just hear a lot of Can't be worse than the radio we did this morning wasn't our best show I'm not gonna lie to anyone if you're listening to this episode Just maybe don't No, I actually think the first the first bit was really good I just think oh I Apologize for my kid. That was awful. I think it was kind of funny I think the whoop chat was kind of fun. That was fun. The diary was fun I mean you want it fruit fruit chats at 820

You could have taken a leaf could have taken a leave. You could have taken a leave. It is what it is. Sometimes you put things out there and they don't stick and you just gotta move on. That's right. Sometimes you have to pivot in the moment and all that's left is fruit.

So that makes it onto the board. Yeah, to be fair, Babs is sick, Jess, you're up against it with your child away and my back is in so much fucking pain. So Shy Guy, you really needed to lift today and I just don't know if you did. Yeah, actually let's put it- I got us back on air. Let's put it on Shy Guy. Did you or to lift today and I just don't know if you did. Yeah, actually let's put it on. I got us back on air.

Let's put it on Shy Guy. Did you or did the tech, an engineer? Who alerted the tech? You know what I mean? Who called the knock? Who said hey, we need to control alt delete this thing and restart over? Did they say, have you tried turning it off? I think that's what they did, they just didn't tell me they did that.

We can't do that from our end. We need an on off button for this fucking desk. We need an on off button for this fucking desk. We need an on off button for this fucking desk.

Babs, good luck to you with the in-laws and the gran and grandpa in-law. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Gran and gran-in-law. That'd be tough. What a, that's great. Yeah. For Florence, that's a great grandma and grandpa. That's a great grandparents. Yeah. That's amazing. She still has them. Wow. Yeah. I mean, I suppose like Abby's kids still have some of them. That's amazing. Oh your grandparents are still alive. Yeah only one. Oh Meryl of course. She's flying the flag. Yeah she's flying the flag. You'd be a great-grandparent wouldn't you Babs? Me personally. Yeah it's a mate one thing.

Oh I actually did have all both sets of sets of my great grandparents up until probably like five years ago. It's crazy. Amazing. Yeah, so like all four of them. See, we're not, I don't know if we had kids young enough Jess to be- I agree. I agree.

I don't think we're going to be that- It's so funny to think like our parents having kids at 24, 25. Oh no, it's crazy. Babs's age and you and I are now a decade on. Yeah, it's just- Like, it's crazy. Babs's age and you and I are now a decade on. Yeah. It's crazy. It's funny. One of my girlfriends, I didn't know how old she was.

She's 38 expecting her second. And all I could think was, so when your kid's 10, you'll be approaching 50. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Just all those things that come with aging, like energy and all those, you go, our parents were 40 when we were 10 and now our generation is going to be a decade older yeah for our kids at the same age it's pretty interesting. And our kids are going to have kids older younger the same totally yeah it's going to be interesting it's wild i want to be a young cool

granddad though you know what i mean yeah so you want your kid to pop out one too i really yeah as soon as flow can hey come on come on honey, let's go. Come on. What would your grandpa name be? Ooh, I think I'd stick to grandad. You'd be a grandad? Or Gigi Duck. Love that. Yeah, or Duck Daddy.

I don't know, I'm just a bit boring. Duck Pa. Yeah, Gilf could be good. You can't have your grandpa name. Gilf. What's your grandad name? He's called Gilf. Why?

Because he's hot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everyone's like, what? I'm on an A. He came up with it. We can't have your girl. What's your girl? He's called Gilf. Why? Because he's hot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everyone's like, what? He came up with it. We can't argue with him. He's senile and losing the plot.

What was that? Yeah, yeah. Sorry guys. To be on air at 6am. Well, everything was working. We're here on time.

Obviously it wasn't because Babs was late or anything like that. Nothing. Don't worry. Don't stress. And then Jess is down the line from Melbourne. That had nothing to do with it. You're at your parents' house. It wasn't the terracotta tiles taking over.

My husband literally just said, is this your fault? Do not put that out there. Actually yes. From the terracotta manor and we've managed... The terracotta tiles in your parents' ethnic house is blocking out the reception and that's what blew us up. It's brought the whole studio to... Literally, so, um, very insular here, but we have a studio that has broken completely, so we had to then load some songs, swap studios, and now I'm in a studio that I've actually never broadcast from before. And I tell you what, it feels like I'm driving someone else's car. It feels weird.

Does it feel like you're driving someone else's car in a different country? Yes, it does. Is it really on the other side of the road? I'm about to reverse parallel park in America. And I'm like, what is happening? What is going on? Shaka's on the other side. It feels weird. It does feel weird. It does feel weird. I can't see Babs because of the glass. She's so far away and she's come in half too today Jess. She's a little bit sick still. Oh my god. Well, it'll make everyone feel better that I'm operating at about 40% capacity. Lucia has been up since 2am. Oh, amazing. She's currently lying on

my chest while Angus tries to prepare some breakfast for her to maybe distract her off me. So the team is firing everyone is what I'm hearing. It's going to be a fantastic show. We are all just absolutely loving life and we're up against no obstacles. Hey, but what are the Brits say? Keep calm and carry on. Surely your family has some tradition.

They say, what do the Italians say? You're in the terracotta palace. That's a great question. Don't keep calm, yell at each other and hope for the best. And smash the plate. I mean, that's Greeks, but I love the philosophy. Well, we still do have a big show. Cause we're giving out those Katy Perry tickets.

We still do have Alfbox and we'll play Alfbox for $10,000. I mean, we could be vulnerable today. So you might, I don't know, you might win it. You're down the line. I'm going to have to studio it. You're doing the questions, babe. Oh, jeez. That never works when the person down the line

does the questions. I think you have to do that. And I'll do the corrections. Jeez, this is really going to stretch me today. This is not what I had anticipated, you know? I also went out for our first date night last night without baby, without Flo. Oh my God, that's right. So. We had the six week postpartum check up with the obstetrician.

Yeah, got the green light. What's up? Made sure you got the green light. And so you got the mother-in-law in town who was on babysitting duty from all reports. It was good. You seemed pretty happy this morning. Yeah. I mean, had a couple of glasses of red, tried to time those feeds up. We got into the restaurant straight away and I was like, we're going to need the red wine fast. We're on the clock. Her boobs are on the clock. Still all sparkling water.

No, red wine. Now, let's go. We know what we want. We looked it up online. No, it was good. But yeah, obviously, you know, a few glasses, have a bit of fun. It's a Friday show tomorrow. It's good fun.

Now we're in here and everything's backwards and different. So I can't believe I haven't asked you yet to tell me exactly what you've eaten. Let's do that. Let's do that off air. We're not a million things are going on. People don't care. Hey, I know up next we had, you have a press release for us, but we've also got no Dumfriar Friday, which we haven't done yet.

I know. Cause now everything's out of whack. Everything's been pushed back. Stuff the press release that us but we've also got No Dumb Thought Friday which we haven't done yet. I know because now everything's out of whack everything's been pushed back stuff the press release that can hold for next week I need to get some Dumb Thoughts. Yeah I think that's gonna suit the vibe better a little bit. I think so too. Okay all right. I have thoughts about waving. We're gonna come back with No Dumb Thought Friday and then we have Alphox with 10k hopefully regular programming. Everyone strap in Jess start chipping away at those terracotta tiles. Yeah we'll do I'll try and bust through the blockage.

Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. We're on air we're doing it we've had a few technical issues to start the show. Jess is doing the show from Melbourne but that's got nothing to do with our studio blowing itself up. Yeah that is actually the smoothest part of this morning my daughter's been a nightmare your studio shit itself you can hear in the background hey let's do this

there's no such thing as a dumb thought that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard oh we love this oh yes we do let's bring it down guys, let's settle in. 13, 10, 60. Oh, Shagosh undid his pants. Oh fantastic. Sorry to miss it. I'm sorry you had to move to a studio that has no cameras. Oh that's why you're doing this Shagosh.

Hey Lucia be quiet we're on radio, come on. Daddy's just put a YouTube video of birds in a pond. Does Lucia have a dumb thought for us? Yeah she gave me this one actually because she caught me doing something in the car the other day. She went, write that down. That looked real dumb. Have you ever thought about waving and how stupid the action actually is? It is so dumb, isn't it?

I was driving in the car down our street and one of my mates lives like a block away. So she happened to be pulling into her kind of car space in front of her car as I was driving past and I slowed down and was waving like an absolute idiot. It's like I've never seen her before in my life. I was just so excited how serendipitous this was, you know, this moment in time and I just caught myself with my arm fully extended, swishing around and I went, ew, waving just gave me such an itch. And there's so many different ways to wave, like you got the Royal Wave which is the cupped hand and the slow wrist motion, then you've got the big over-the-top friendly wave. Yeah, you've got the Dad Wave where it's almost a bit of a salute like

what's up, you know, champion. Who decided that waving got the dad wave where it's almost a bit of a salute like what's up you know. Who decided that waving was the thing we do with people? Who decided that was the greeting? Like does this go back to Neanderthal days, caveman days, is this a cultural thing, do they wave differently in different nations? Why, yeah where did waving, Shaka's looking at the origins of waving. What have you got for us? Because I wonder, I can't imagine, you know, South and East Asia is doing the same thing as Australia is doing the same thing as Iran. Yeah, techniques and waves. Different techniques. So it says it goes back to medieval times. The knights would lift their visor on their helmet and then lift one hand to show their face, a gesture of recognition and trust. So the lifting of the visor, that's giving, you know, the modern day sup nod. Yeah the modern day sup nod. Yeah you throw your head back that's almost like what they were doing with

their visor. Yeah have we not have we not made that more advanced over time? Totally I mean how many ways are there to improve before it becomes choreography or a dance move or something but the waving yeah I mean it just made me feel so stupid I'm gonna wave to Babs who's about 40 meters away now she's in a different studio Can she see you? She's waving, I can't report she looks like an idiot Does Babs have a nice wave? Uhhhh... yeah

Now I think all waves look weird They all look the same They all look weird yes I've got one for you I've got one for you, I've got one for you. Tell me. Okay, I was thinking about this in the bath last night. I was also thinking of your husband, Jess, because he's the bath guy. He is the bath guy.

Were you rolling with Epsom salts? Absolutely, my back is sore. I jacked it up again. What an idiot, because I overdid it. Hey, are the good things that come to those that wait just the leftovers of people who went before them? You know, it says good things come to those who wait just the leftovers of people who went before them? You know it says good things come to those who wait. I always disagree. Why wait? Is it just, are you getting someone else's leftovers? And is it just, you know, mind over matter? These are actually the dregs, but if I tell myself they're good, maybe I can convince myself they are good.

Exactly. What does Lucia think about that? She says it's so sorry. She says it's pretty passionate. It's so unprofessional. For feedback from Boss Jays that said, hey, curb the talking about your kid. I've now put her on the radio. He said the kid can't talk.

That's true. There's a caveat there. She can't be on. She can't contribute. God, I wish your language was a bit better. But no, I'm sorry. Do something more. That's a great one, Duggo. I don't like waiting for things. And I just thought, you know,

we're getting someone else's scraps. You and I have that in common. Delayed gratification is stupid. Silly, silly. Silly. Shargo, did you want to quickly do yours? I'll put a quick one. I'm a family guy.

Can Brian and Stewie only understand each other? The baby and the dog. Yeah, because I don't think the baby can be understood by anyone else in the family. That's right. They do communicate with each other and I think that's the running joke. Stewie talking to Lois. She actually doesn't understand what he's saying. Oh, I didn't know that. Lois never actually talks to Stewie. Does Peter talk to Stewie? I don't think so. I don't think anyone except for Brian on the show talk, converses, understands, translates

what Stewie is saying. I think that is correct. I didn't know that. Yes. There you go. I was thinking about my dog this morning actually what she could speak like and having a conversation with her. Yes.

Yeah. I still haven't nailed her voice, but I reckon she'd be real bitchy. She would. She would suffer no fools. Yeah, yeah. And she'd love confrontation because she would just go, nah, no time for that.

No time. That's stupid. No time, see you later. You're boring me. You're boring me. Ah, hey, we're back up and running. Well done, team. Should we play Alpha Bucks?

I would love to for $10,000. Dukko's asking the questions. Oh yeah geez. So you're gonna do the questions and the buttons.

Hey up next though, one man who had a lot on his plate yesterday was the Shy Lord. That's right. Babs with the strategic Thursday day off means that Shy Guy has to

compile the diary without any assistance. Granted, we call it Shy Guy's diary so Babs is really probably like, you know what, start calling it Shy Guy and Babs's diary and then we'll talk. And very true. I have thought about putting Babs's voice in the diary but anyway. Okay, alright just coming behind the curtain there. Anyway after Benson Boom we got Babs says she can't even defend herself she's typing in because she can't speak on mic. Jess you'll love it she's still like pulling the arm just still so sad.

You should know her back, Hattie. You should know everything because we haven't made today easy, I don't think. No, I don't think so because to really find Katy's number one fan, you know know her back, Hattel. You should know everything. Because we haven't made today easy, I don't think. No, I don't think so.

Well done Riley enjoy it I should say as well next week on the show team

Not Katy Perry one second slips, but we do have Friday live tickets every single day on the show next week. Amazing. Mate, this is your place for the hottest tickets in town. Oh look at you go from Melbourne doing all the hottest ticket stuff. Jess and Ducco. We're here. Thank you for bearing with us. We've had a few issues this morning. I put my hand up. My 18 month old has been one of those major issues, but Ducko, I just opened

my parents' bedroom. They're still in bed and I went, you're on to shift and threw it at them and closed the door. I can see Angus in the background. Is he making you breakfast? Because I've just been hearing you command him all morning. Honey, I want a coffee. Hey man, she was koala-ing me so I needed coffee, I needed water. But no, he is going to take a second for himself because he has been up against it. He's hiding. He's hiding.

Hey, now I haven't talked about this on air yet because I knew you guys would all hate it and slam me. But I found an open to do it so I want to do it. Me not being in the same room. Well, that was an article based off Christiano Ronaldo, the football player, uh, the 40 year old soccer player, one of the greatest in the world. Um, have I told you guys about my woop? Not recently. Well, I think the last time we discussed the woop was you were papped

in the studio cameras wearing the double. You've got a whoop on one and a fit bit, no, an Apple watch on the other and a few rice cookers, eagle-eyed rice cookers were asking what's with the double fitness watch? Now the whoop for those that don't know is not a watch, but it is like a full on in-depth fitness tracker, right? So it basically, it tracks your workouts and what's up, your calories, your steps, yada yada, but also it's very good for like your recovery, so like sleep, your consistency of sleep, your sleep debt, your stress you're in, it does your blood oxygen, your VO2 max, your skin temp, heart rate variability, like it's like a, the way I word it to people is like on a

video game, if you look at the health stats, it'll give you all their vitals, that's what the loop does. Like you can, you double tap your visor and it tells you all that information. Exactly that. So you use your Apple Watch tap your visor and it tells you all that information. Exactly that. So you use your Apple Watch as a watch and none of the functionality. I start my life, if I'm going for a run, it'll tell me the kilometres and all that sort of year. But I got the Whoop a while ago, pre pre-child, pre-flow, and it recovers your sleep, your debt, how much sleep you got, what sleep you need. It works your body out over a few months. And since before Flow came then,

my other mates got a whoop and you can be in a group together and you can be in like a whoop community. And you basically, it's the most intrusive thing you will ever see, because you can see how much sleep your friend got, how much stress they're under, what their heart rates are doing, and if their recovery and vitals are really bad for that day

or really good. Does it like say in this group chat, Hey, ducko's just woken up. Here's his stats. Or do I have to go on and look at ducko's profile? You can go on and look at mine, but what it does, which really kind of is, is making it tough for me. It ranks you. So there's five of us in the group.

And it will go so competitive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ranking. So we'll go ducko your fifth today. And you look on it's's like I got five hours sleep and it was broken because of a child. And then it's like your recovery is not high, your stress is high, whatever.

So, and then the boys will message and go, ooh, Ducker man, I think you're not sleeping too well with that child you got. You need a new group. You can't be in a group with four non-parents. You need a group. No, no, that's the thing. Three of them are parents.

And so they're, but they've been parents for longer than me and their kids are older. So they're probably in a bit more of a pattern, but they're still a bit all over the shop. Also that one bloke without a kid in your group, he's flying high. He's loving life. But whenever he has big nights, he takes his hoop off and it just disappears for a couple of weeks. Because when you drink alcohol, it shows you how bad it is. He's like, I want to maintain my A plus rating.

I better take the watch off. 100%. But one thing it does do, and this is what Cristiano Ronaldo has, is the new update shows your biological age versus your whoop age, right? So it'll measure all your stats and take into account how much exercise you do, what your body's under,

the duration of your sleep, all yada yada. And it will spit out an age that it thinks you actually are. This could be older than your current age and encourage you to get a lower or it could be younger and say good work so we all got our ages because Christiano Ronaldo's was like 11 years younger it said he was like he was like 28.9 now you've got to understand this isn't a hundred percent accurate but it's a common it's not a blood test yeah yeah it's not but it's a cool metric to have and now that we've all got it with our mates we're like

what's your age what's your age and like I had one mate who was like three months younger, one who was like two years. I had one who was like right on. Mine came in 8.6 years younger, 25 years old. Hang on. I'm bad. Hang on. I'm bad. So you're 33 years old on paper.

On paper. Yeah. But whoop is saying biologically, you've got the body of a 25 year old. Yeah. Now where the whoop falls down Jess is yesterday, you've got the body of a 25 year old. Yeah. Now where the woop falls down Jess is yesterday, I've hurt my back recently over training because I am 33 years old and I can do that. That's right.

You sneezed too violently. I didn't want my mates to get their levels over me yesterday so I went and I was like, I'm just going to go to the driving range because I just wanted to hit some golf balls if I couldn't train. Sure. Could have been the dumbest thing I've ever done. I jacked it up so bad I could barely, I got home Morgan's like, you've hurt your back haven't you? I was like, yeah I've hurt my back.

Oh my god. So now because I'm trying to compete with my mates. That's not the words of a 25 year old my friend. Jess and Ducko. One, two, three, three, three. Jess and Ducko's. What's the threesome? We've got to speak a bit of shy guy knees here. He's compiled groups of three things and we're gonna tell him what they all have in common. What is the threesome? Play along 0488 818 1069.

People who've eaten chicken once in a while. Oh, Super Bowl! Super Bowl! We've all done something. Good guess! Thank you. We've all done a Super Bowl halftime show. I'm trying to speak Shakaianese. It's so niche. Alright.

Babs you're out. Very good. This next one is a tie breaker. Yeah, and then he doesn't have another one after that Jess. Nah, well, Babs is out so it's either you two. Hey Babs, you can still chime in and have fun if you want. Okay, thank you. She's struggling to work under these conditions today guys.

Her nose is gone. No, it is. I hate my nose being blocked. Alright. 808s and Heartbreak, Late Registration and Donda. Kanye songs, Kanye albums. Ooh. Bang. Dukkos won. I only... Oh, is that it? That's the end?

That's it. I only know Donda. Do you know what's so funny? Before when you said, I'ma let you finish to Shy Guy, that was very Kanye interrupting Taylor Swift. So that is just some synergy right there. Not someone I want to be in line with completely today. That's fair.

Jess and Ducko. Jess, you're obviously in the terracotta palace at your parents' place. I am broadcasting from my parents' living room. They're celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary this weekend, Ducko. So my brother and I are taking them out for a special dinner tonight. It's going to be quite the affair. Really, really lovely. So I had to make the journey. Your brother would have organised all of that actually.

It's nice of you to show up to all his hard work. It is, it is. Um, he actually came over last night because we did fly yesterday. I was a bit nervous about, you know, potential flight issues. I was like, I can't miss it. You're still getting to the airport like way too early. Yeah. Like for a domestic flight. Two, that's the airport way too early. Yeah. Yeah, like two hours too early.

For a domestic flight, two, that's cutting it way too far. Three. Now I rocked up 10 minutes before boarding. Yeah, I suppose child answer. We could never travel together. Angus is very march. He will plan the day. He's checked the routes.

He knows if there's going to be traffic. He's happy to get there at the 11th hour, put the bags on, walk onto the plane. I cannot live my life like that. And one of his greatest gestures of love is going to the airport three hours early because I can't handle it. So what do you do when you sit there? Because after you get a coffee or get a dirty feed and it's over and you've stood an hour to wait, it's so boring.

I run up and down to try and tire the kid out and he sits quietly and plays on his phone. Yeah, yeah. He's like, see honey, we should never have come this early. The one time security is busy, I look, I'm the genius. Every other time, yeah, we're twiddling our thumbs a lot. Could you imagine Jess International? She'd be there a day before. Oh, bro. Yeah, we go the night before and stay at the airport hotel, so at least we're close. But you still get there five hours earlier. Yeah, 100%. I am the reason my parents missed a flight once from Perth and my dad has never let me

live it down as he enters the living room himself. Morning dad. We were trying to get home from Perth and I was carrying on, why are we leaving the airport? Why are we going to the airport so soon dad? You're being ridiculous. He was like, fine. We got there and they said your flight's closed.

And that has really put me on the straight and narrow. That's rattled you. That's rattled me ever since. Yeah, poor Angus. Hey, let's play Alpha Box. You've got to get through the gatekeeper, which is Babs. And then I'm reading out the questions because Jess is away. We don't want any delay impacting your run.

So yeah, Dukkow will do it from the studio. Yeah. And Babs is a bit sick too. So 13, 10, 60, if you can get through her. What were you calling her again, Shy Guy, off here? Rudolph, because her nose is red. That's right. We don't have soft tissues for her.

No, we don't. we've got the recycled and the wink, whatever that is. She said Rudolph and scarecrow. She's really up against it. Were you glad to not come to work yesterday? It was nice not to be called names all day. Careful, careful. It's all in fun.

It's all in time. It's all in time. She's drafting the email to HR. 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, we'll come back of course. If there is time, we are playing for ten thousand dollars our player today is Steve hello Steve hey Steve give me one second my

parents are arguing about how my brother hurt his foot in football I'm on air can you guys pop down can you guys go away sorry we'd love to take it we can talk about this after alpha bucks if will. Yeah pick up the conversation after quiet on set, please goodness me Anyway back to you Steve. Good morning. Are you ready to win $10,000 my friend? I saw the end. Okay Yeah, you want to spend the money on? I'm on a buyer myself a car and take the ministers on a holiday. Oh

Okay, a bit of both there. A cheap secondhand car perhaps to go on a holiday. But we can do that. Now, Steve, the difference today is you're not going to hear Jess reading the questions because she's from the Terracotta Palace in Melbourne. So you're going to hear me reading the questions and Jess will be giving you the answers after, okay? That's not a problem.

Hopefully we won't need to do any corrections or answer giving ducko because Steve's gonna get 10 out of 10 And we can just go but a big butter bomb book your holiday game over. I mean game on Steve your lady you're working with today is P P for P for Penelope Okay, all right, you're out of time will start after the first question. Starting with the letter P, I need you to name a type of coffee. Pass. An adjective. Please. A snack. Pass. Something you study. Something you study. Pharmacy.

A nut. Nut. A movie. Pinocchio. An insect. A band. Nut. Oh Steve.

I was hoping to have to do no work, but we're gonna have to do a little bit of work here. You're busy. You're gonna lock in two, solid two. We'll go through quickly the ones you passed. The type of coffee could have been the piccolo. That comes up a lot team. Let's lock in piccolo because I feel like we see type of coffee with the letter P a lot. Piccolo. Look you said please for adjective. If you'd said pleasing, like that is pleasing to me,

could have paid it, but please I don't think is an adjective. Yeah. Snack, you could have said Pringles. And nut, Shy Guy's favourite, the Pistachio. Humble Pistachio. Pinocchio, one of the great answers for movie. Yep. And an insect, again, channeling Shy Guy

with a praying mantis, could have accepted. A lot of Shy Guy in that quiz today. Totally. Hey look, Steve, mate, you don't get the cash, you don't get the holiday, but you do get something you will love. $100 to spend online at Trady Underwear. Awesome, thanks guys. No worries. Pay for a happy package, am I right? That's it. He's like, yep, bamboo breathing. Thanks Steve, have a good one. My mum's offering me my 15th coffee for the morning. Yeah, the name. Oh, my mum's just handed me a prop, ducko.

Oh, yeah, what do you got? Oh, she's handed me the coffee pods. Piccolo, thank you. I've been playing along at home. Good job, Mark. Well done, well done. Bit visual for radio, but I love it. Hey, hey up next, we're talking worth date locations. Where you been, what you've done?

Yeah, you were eavesdropping on something. Well, I witnessed a doozy in the wild from start to finish, and I need to tell the team about it. It's funny, we'll do it after Ed Sheeran. Azizem, Tip Breakfast, Jess and Ducco with you. Jess and Ducco. It's Friday, we did it, we made it. We are here. Hell yeah. Get involved in the show.

Any opportunity. Like right now. I was about to say, we've got tickets to Origin, but that was last night, wasn't it? No, you were. I was just like, where's she gonna go from here? I've got nowhere to go with that. Get involved just any time, you know, just now.

Do you know why? It'll be fun. 13, 10, 60, it was a call. We're talking worse things to do on a first date. I witnessed a doozy in the wild. So I mean, the gift that keeps on giving recently, the Tuesday night trivia. And not just because it's supplementing your wife's income

now being on maternity leave, you are genuinely seeing some stuff. I'm getting content from these people I'm not always fun for me, but we're finding it and so I went when you do it You get the team names at the end now at the start. I saw this young couple They were both young attractive people. He was good-looking dude. She was a good-looking gal I said you guys want to play trivia and they clearly weren't there for trivia and they're like, oh they were there for a meal Yeah, they're for a meal with each other and they were like like, oh, should we like, and they'll be polite.

Yeah, let's do it. Why not? OK, like, ha ha ha. So I give them the trivia thing. OK, enjoy. Put your team name down. Didn't see them again for the hour and a half it takes to play. You're busy. You're circulating. I mean, I'm asking the question. You're correcting. Yeah, yeah. Question 12.

What are the six phases of the Manchester Cycle? It was one time we had that and you never forget. It's my favourite question. So I go back up to him and I go, all right guys, how'd you go? What's your team name? And they go first date. And I was like, oh, look up, I go a first date at trivia. And they go, yeah. I go, what was that like?

And they both looked at each other and looked away and go, not good. Wow. And they were like deadpanning each other. They weren't really speaking. They gave it back. They didn't score well and they were clearly both obviously stubborn and they had both been thinking they were right on their certain things. And they left soon after they had that piece of paper in and it did not look like there

was going to be a second day. They didn't go together. That is fascinating because it's one of those things where a lot of people, when we posted this on the Jess and Duck Instagram page, said going to the movies, which is such a standard thing, but a lot of people making the point of you don't talk to one another. So it could be your first day, but you actually leave and go, oh, I enjoyed the movie, but I know nothing about him. So this was an opportunity for them to talk, to collaborate, to get to know each other.

Yeah. And it's been revealed, we are not compatible. I was telling this to some friends off here the other day and they were like, but is trivia the best date location because you do find out about each other so much so that you go, there's going to be no follow-up date after this. Totally, but do you think if they'd been able to maybe just go for a drink, go for a walk, do something not as conflict-inducing, they have a level of camaraderie, then they do trivia and maybe don't blow up at each other as much?

They can work it out a little bit. They can work it out. But straight off the bat, we don't know one another. We've matched on Tinder. Let's go for trivia tonight. I felt responsible because I was like, do you guys want to play? And they play, and then after I was like, how'd you go? And they hated each other, I was like, ugh. You're a homewrecker, not the opposite of a matchmaker.

The jackpot's going up next week, I'll see you then. Well there you go, no second date after Trivia. Yeah, so I just thought it'd be fun to do it, we put it up on Jess and Daco as well, for the worst date, locations or things to do on worst days. Maybe you've been taken on this sort of date and it didn't continue to a second because the activity or the experience was so bad. Yes.

Based on what you were doing. Deb's got in touch. Good friend of the show, Deb. She goes, worst thing to do on a first date, swimming. You're not getting me in a bikini on the first date. Oh yeah. Going to some form of water park or doing some form of swimming. Swimmers is, you know, can be a little bit self-conscious. And Lippy has said, worst thing to do on a first date is eat salad. There's no graceful way to eat that masculine

lettuce. I think that- Same can be said for a burrito though. I think that- No offence, Beth. masculine lettuce. I think eating salad is euphemism for something else. I think you're right. Oh, but she said there's no graceful way. I'm going to stop digging down. Move on. Hey. But like shoveling a whole, you know, Romaine. I'm gonna stop.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, keep going. I'm gonna stop. 13 to 60. Whether it's eating salad or whether it's playing trivia, worst things to do on dates, what have you done? How did it go wrong? Kristy said grocery shopping. Is that safe?

Is that a euphemism? Jess and Zucko. Jess and Zucko. Worst things to do on a first date after us are a couple at Trivia have a first date and they basically hated each other by the end. And it was interesting, Ducco, because you said telling that story to a couple of maids, they kind of flagged, or is that the best activity so you can really see someone's true colours?

Yeah. Sort of like when you go to the cinema, you don't end up talking the whole time. You actually don't learn anything about them. So trivia, let's learn everything about them to see whether we want a second date. But how's this? Laura has DM'd. Obviously wasn't in a position to call, but this is a hell of a story, Laura. She goes, this question was designed for me.

I once had a man invite me to his place. I went over, had a glass of wine, we played chess, the house was stunning. So much so that when I was telling my mates the next day I put the address into Google to try and pull up the house online just to show them Google Street View. She goes, but the house appeared in my search, everything in the house right down to the chessboard we used, the cookbooks that he said his mum had gifted him, bits of furniture and art that he had all these stories for were online. Turns out it was a display home that he had just commandeered for the afternoon, making out like he actually lived there and was really wealthy and successful.

How do you commandeer a display home? I don't know. I want to ask more. It's like a tribe before you buy, like you get to spend a night in it. Was he a realtor or a real estate agent or worked for one of those construction companies so he had the key? We need more information, Laura. That is amazing.

That is wild. It must be. Because I must say, points for creativity. Yeah, I know. I mean, we don't like a liar, but I love the creativity. I wonder if I went back on a second date. Surely there's a real estate agent or something. Surely.

I mean, who has access to the display homes? But anyway, very good. That's a doozy. Very good. Up next. So we're just going to have to jump the back fence. Why don't you have a key to your own place? I don't know.

Don't worry about that. Who are those random people walking through taking a dump in the toilet? Nah, they're no one. Don't worry about them. It's all good. Ignore them. Ignore them. Jess and Ducko. Shark Eye's diary, looking back at the week it was, and I tell you what, it was a fantastic

week this week. I couldn't agree more. We were able to build a catalogue of sorts powered by the people. Big middle finger to AI. When we asked for the rice cookers to contribute to Ducko's sound effects. So forevermore, when we bring up Peacocks, you know, Katie, you get a run. Yeah. Oh, you put him in there.

I am putting on the spot. There you go. There she is. There she is. We'll dive into that. Or crickets. I didn't notice the big inhale at the start of that. I appreciate it. She really got her diaphragm involved. Right now, Ducker, I'm sorry, we're going to have to pivot because this has just come

through my inbox. Yes. Urgent. Urgent. Okay. Now, we're on the cusp of a big week next week. I think we're going to have to retake to the planning meetings. I know we've got some big things happening next week. We want to give away Fridays live tickets.

We want to do a bunch of things. I'm sorry. It's National Pear Week. And I've just had an urgent, urgent press release hit the inbox saying Aussies aren't eating as many pears these days. You know what's funny? I never buy pear. I don't like pear but I never buy it. I do not buy pear except when I was given the advice from a GP when the little one was constipated to put more pea fruits in her diet. Prunes, pears, peaches get the bales moving apparently. So I buy

one pear a week, those fricking rock hard packums and I like saute it and stew it and put it in some borage. But this is a national crisis, Ducker. I was not aware. I thought I was up to date with my fruit news, firstly. Didn't know pears got a whole week on the calendar. And are they, is it a crisis because like the pears are not getting taken off the shelves or like what's the crisis? Aussies aren't eating them. Okay, which is affecting the growers. Okay, so now growers are deciding All right, I'm gonna call my pear trees plant more apple Doreen so we're actually seeing a decline. We're heading towards extinction Oh, we're heading towards the end of the pair as we know it

It's the end of the pair as we know it Sorry Jess, that's just far too niche You can tell she's out of the studio today can't you? You can tell she's at her parents house sitting in front of their alcohol cabinet My mum, you know that song It's the end of the world as we know it R.E.M. great song Geez my mum's giving me nothing either. So how's this? This press release goes on to say that

the value of the Australian pear industry has dropped in the past decade by $175 million. Wow. This is affecting the economy of pears, it's affecting the consumption and as I said, it's affecting the growing of the humble pair Imagine if you just um, duck oh, we might not see the pair continue Imagine if you just started a pair farm and you're like, I feel like there's growth in this and then it's just plummeting That is the wrong choice 61% of Aussie households used to buy pairs Which I wouldn't say is a massive portion as it is

Whereas these days the stats or get oh get this, we're just flirting just over 50. Here we go, strapping everyone, do it your seatbelts, what do we got? We've only got 50% of Aussie households buying pears in the current day. Let's go through the room. That's not enough. I don't buy pears Jess, you don't buy pears unless you're a child needs to woo. I buy one if I'm exactly. Shy Guy? Do not buy pears, never bought a pear. Babs? No. What is your least favourite fruit? Because mine is the mandarin. I hate mandarin. I don't understand mandarin obsessions.

I love... That little white stuff on it? My pronunciation is slightly different. I'm a mandarin. You're a mandarin. Oh yeah. Anyway, I... there's nothing more satisfying, Ducko, than spending 20 minutes peeling off that white... I think it's called pith.

Yeah, whatever it is. And then you get to enjoy and make it mint. It's so annoying and it's gross and I don't like the texture in your mouth. Oh, but the worst fruit. That's a great- You hate banana. To be honest, I reckon pear might be up there. I hate banana. You hate banana. I hate oranges. Interesting. Oranges are such a big killer.

Orange juice I'm fine with. Or Fanta. But orange as a fruit? No way. Yeah, so there's so many oranges in Fanta. Orange flavoured. Babs least favourite fruit. Controversial but I don't really like mango. I don't think I've ever met anyone who doesn't like mango. Is it the texture for you Babs? No even the taste. It's a bit of both. For me I just have never really liked it. Well this is the thing I don't know about mandarin or mango or pineapple even getting a whole week but as of Monday it is national pear week. So if you don't want to see the pear curb to the you know fall to the wayside like the dinosaur yeah and go

extinct let's start buying pears guys. Yeah I'm gonna buy a pear today just for the pear community. Get your pears out. I don't mind a pear on a cheese board. I'm being bougie. Hello. So instead of a quince paste, you'd like a sliver of pear. A little sliver of pear. But how do you eat pear? Do you bite it like an apple? Well this is the issue. One pear you pick up is mush and the other pear you pick up is rock hard. It's like an avocado. It's real hard to find a pear in its prime. It's a tough time. They need to remarket themselves. It's a tough time for pears everyone.

Yeah. Anyway. So lucky Greg from the National Pear Week is doing his bit. He's actually offered us an interview with a pear farmer. Oh, let's do it. Any interest? Actually, you know what would be great about that? We'd go into it as a pear steak and the poor farmer would be telling us how bad it is,

how hard it is. I know. I know. He's gonna say I've culled most of me pear trees for mango trees and Babs is gonna go wrong choice. Hey AlphaBox your chance at $10,000 no it's been. We got Shy Guy's Shy Guy's Diaries coming up next. We're in all sorts today. We really are.

The studio broke, Jess has been up all night with Lucia, you're doing it from your parents place? Oh my god it's a whole thing, ducko. The team's been up against it today guys, I've been proud of how we've come through this adversity together. We've rallied. We've rallied together, you know you're in Melbourne, the Terracotta Palace, your child was crying all morning for the first half an hour of the show, you're up against it. Our studio broke here and JDHQ, we had to go to another studio. Bab said, and I quote, I cannot work under these situations, under these standards, conditions. Thank you. Shaggo has been firing off emails, left, right and center. Oh, he's been on the blower.

I'm sorry. I've been seeing him in the background of you, just on the phone, to and fro-ing. Yeah. Just to the engineer people. Like tech, tech, engineers. Do you know? But you know what?

We're here. We're doing it. We are. You're steering this big ship, baby. I tip my hat to you as well. Thank you. You firing off those buttons. You want a ship horn? This is why we built the catalogue this week, Ducko. So at any mention of anything, you're equipped with a rice cooker making the accompanying sound.

I'm good to go. You are good to go. Yeah. Now we've got the diary, Shag. Can we hear a bit of that in the diary? There's a bit of that. Not that sound effect though. Oh, didn't he hit the ship horn?

I mean that's the sound that started it all. The ship horn's there, not the ship horn. We got yours. Anyway, you'll hear it in the diary. Okay. Well, what a week it's been with Jess and Ducko. We met Tia, who played Alphabux. She didn't win the 10k, but after throwing her Instagram handle out there,

she definitely won herself some followers. You want my Instagram handle or what, guys? Yeah, you can put it out there right now. You might get a few followers. Okay, no problem. Okay, my Instagram handle is lowkeyblackttwe at the end. You're a vibe and a half, Tia. You have a great rest of your day.

I really am, you have no idea. Thanks guys, I'm going in for a colonoscopy. Have a good day. What a juice day! Lucky we've got you some brand new aunties. Oh goodness gracious. So good. Have you been on that juice, you've been cleansing?

You've got it all out? Guys, it's been a great 24 hours. I'm not feeling good. Well yeah, you've got to do that detox thing, don't you? Yeah, apparently it's the worst feeling. Oh no. Honestly, mobipress, I've said those guys, sponsor me. It has been a time. I hope they find no polyps, all the best.

We had to follow up with Tia the next day after a colonoscopy. Look, my Instagram went absolutely insane and I felt so silly for not giving some specifications. I'm a 33 year old woman, guys. I have like 15 year old men, you know boys in my Year old men in my Come on you put it out there 15 to 65 They're huge parameters, you know on tinder people with the a bracket you wouldn't be putting 15 obvious

We do have a big range we have a big Entertainment when I woke up from my anesthetic It was too big of a racket. So funny. We do have a big range. We have a big range. No, it was great. I had some entertainment when I woke up from my anaesthetic. Apparently I asked my mum if anyone had offered me a radio show, so that was interesting. Radio Google, Radio Gaga. We're learning more and more about producer Babs. We're talking about shower beers, and she revealed this shower habit of hers. Yeah, I mean, I've had a shower coffee, but I don't know if I've had a shower beer.

What? You've had a shower coffee? Yeah, sometimes if I don't finish them in time, I just drink it in the shower. In a mug or in a keep cup? In a mug. Oh, I thought a keep cup makes kind of sense, but in a mug, it's so open. Because you're minimizing how much water

can splash in in a keep cup. Yeah. But an open mug, that is a large mouth. Yeah. So you're just making your coffee at home, bringing it into the shower, just sipping it, putting it down and doing your hair. Do you put it in the shower caddy where your lotions and potions are, or is it off to the

side? Where do you put it? I just hold it and put it back to the water. Is this in the mornings before you come to work? Not before I come to work. I used to do it before uni and stuff. So you're washing your bits with one hand, sipping with the other hand? Yeah, time management.

Time management? Wow. Shelf coffee, you're the one. You make my life so much fun. We talked about that container ship that washed up on some guy's backyard over in Norway. Ducko wasn't ready with a boathorn sound effect while we read out the story, but luckily we had Jess to do it live. Why would I get a ship on when I've got you? I don't need one.

Give me the lead in again. It's a great way to go Jess. Great watching and ship watching. Our ship's a bit sick. So in light of this, we decided to do it on 131060. What sound effect can you do? Rice cooker Chloe kicked us off with this. Is that like an alarm of some sort? I think it's a bird. Then we had this from Alyssa. Now that. That was pretty good. That was a good lamb. That was a great lamb. Because I can tell it wasn't a sheep. That

was a young. That was a young lamb. That was a young lamb. Possibly a great lamb. Because I can tell it wasn't a sheep. That was a young lamb. That was a young lamb. That was a young lamb. Possibly going into slaughter, we're not sure. How could the lamb chop? Can you do it one more time? That was sad. See that was a distress.

Alicia the lamb has just heard these guys like lamb chops. I'm freaked out. Whatever this was from Rochelle. Is that meant to be a bush turkey or a turkey? Let's go with that. That's not bad. Then things got a little bit contentious with Shannon's chicken sound effect. Oh it's a good chicken. Oh Jess does the chicken on this show. I do a chicken. So now you're gonna have to go against Shannon to see who gets the chicken. Alright okay close your eyes okay. Okay I'm closing., you're gonna go and then I'm gonna go and he's gonna pick which is better.

Go, Shannon. Bwop. Bwop. Bwop. Bwop. Oh no, I've fumbled. Your chicken had a testy pop. Your chicken's going through puberty.

I've got three pubes. I think Shannon's the chicken. Shannon! Yes! But the one that shocked us all was this from Pete. Oh my God. Pete. Pete.

Yeah. Yeah. Have you got a kid right next to you that you just pinched or something? No. I went in my truck at the moment actually. Pete, that is an incredible crying baby. It was unbelievable. Did you mimic that of one of your kids?

Like, do you have kids? I don't know, it's just something I've always done. I can do a few animal noises and different pieces, but my baby's always best. Jess knows Ducco's not much of a hugger, but after an on-air therapy session, we dove into the reason why. We don't hug.

Yeah, which is good. So much so, Ducco, that you've come to my house with your beautiful wife. You'll walk in and I genuinely take a step back to let you enter. And then I go in and hug Morgan. Things like that. So that's always felt a bit jarring,

but it's like my mate walks through and I'll hug Morgan. To me it's felt so normal. Well, last night you walk in, I don't even get up. The ethnic in me does feel very rude that I'm not greeting you, giving you the double kiss or a hug, whatever. But then! Uh...

Our friend Tommy, who is sitting next to me, he gets up and you and he have a beautiful embrace. I just had a kid, I've had a kid. You know, I've been through it. A huge hug and I genuinely went, hang on a minute, he's hugging other people. Yeah. I'm the only one he doesn't hug. Have I missed the memo that he doesn't hug. Have I Missed the memo that now hugs are on the table with the duck man or am I just the only one he doesn't want a hug What do you want? What do you want from me? Do you want a hug? Do you know how uncomfortable I am at hugging?

You know what I'll take? I'll take the handshake into the hug. Oh Treat me like a d- We're not homies! That was the meanest thing you've ever said! I mean like we're friends! We're not like... You know what I mean? It's a genetic thing.

You know what it is? You know what it is? It's a height thing. I don't want to bring this back to height. Because... Everything always comes... Because... Because I'm shorter.

Oh, Tommy's your height! Exactly! So people that are my height, or girls that are my height or smaller, I feel great hugging them. One girl said to me, who's a bit taller than me, I don't love hugging you, Ducko,

because I feel like when a guy hugs me, he like wraps me up and puts me around him and it's like, oh, warm. Where's he just motorboating? She's like, I don't want to motorboat from you. I was like, come here. So if you want that, hey, that's what I do. You know what? They're at the bar as well. So it'd be too much going on. Everyone's like, what's with those two?

Can I give you a hug? No, thanks. Everyone's like, what's with those two? Can I give you a hug? No thanks. Please? No thanks. A little hug. Yeah, no thanks. See you next week Rice Cookers.

We'll take Tiny.

Yes please. Is Tiny Temper a small-statured human? No, I think he's pretty tall. Oh, is it like calling a bald guy Curly? So yeah, it would be like me, my name being like Big Duck, you know what I mean? That's right, that's right. Big Bird. He's 5 foot 8. Oh, that's Tiny. Well, that's my height.

You said it. I don't know. I realised what I'd said after. That's considered small by the general population, okay? You said it. I know. You said it. I realised what I'd said up there. That's considered small by the general population, okay? So he's tiny. Well, not tiny. 172.7 centimetres. Oh, I'm 173.

A couple of other people in the office. We've been working on something my friend and it's a little something for you. Huh? This chapter of your life, I don't know if we've properly acknowledged the new hat you wear as a daddy. So 6am. You can say Diliponette, that's fine.

I can. People know what it means. But people keep calling, what does it mean? People keep saying to me in the streets. No one told you that you look like a doof. I know, not yet. No, not yet. Well maybe this thing that we've been working on will lead to some more compliments. But anyway, join us Monday, make sure you're here Ducko.

Yes. We're going to get you and the Rice Cookers across just something that the team's been working on. Because I think it's going to be a lot of fun. Will it involve the Rice Cookers participation and all alcohol? Of course, well nothing fun comes without rice cooker participation so Monday you know to use a phrase that I think we bandy around a bit too much on this show, big announce. We've got a big announce on Monday. And it can't be a baby announce okay we've done that tick. No, no, no. Baby Babs is engaged. Let's be real. We found out this week her boyfriend's ditching her

for the boys to go to Europe, so. Did he hear the radio, or did any of his mates hear it? No, we just discussed it. And how'd that go? In the lounge room. Oh, not very well, but that's okay. What did the boys, oh, did his mates say and think? Oh, they just don't say anything, they just laugh.

But the girls very opinionated about it. They don't wanna get in the middle of it. Yeah. Yeah, but the girls will be all on your just don't say anything, they just laugh. They don't want to get any opinionated about it. Yeah, but the girls will be all on your side. Yeah they are, yep. Well spend the weekend ruminating Babs, it still stands.

How much golf is daddy playing this weekend to get away from him? Daddy hurt his back, so he can't do much. I'll be flat-strapped lifting my daughter. Daddy can have an Epsom salt bath quietly to himself. I'll be there on like Handol and Eurofin in the corner just like hey. Anyway so it could be anything could happen.
