Jess and Duggo! This is the Jess and Duggo Podcast.
Damn.
I don't think I've got...
Wait, did it get up?
Have I done...
No.
Oh, it should have.
I thought it did.
It might have. Let me check.
Oh, this is what you do. You come with confidence.
Come in so...
You just joined us halfway through the podcast. Oh, have you been recording? Yeah, I've what you do. You come with confidence. You come in so. You just joined us halfway through the podcast.
Oh, have you been recording?
Yeah, I've just started.
No, it didn't win.
I did Scissor Sisters in that one, that week that you did.
That was 15th of November.
Jess done Smooth.
Oh, by Santana.
And Babs did Paralyzer.
Oh, yeah.
I was singing I'm Like a Bird, Nelly Furtado, one of the great songs.
What made you think of us?
Because we've been talking about birds a lot today.
Yeah, maybe that's what it was.
You got birds on the brain.
And I'm tired today. Yeah, maybe that's what it was. You got birds on the brain. And I'm tired today.
Oh, so am I.
And your husband just sent me a message saying,
we will crack multiple bottles of red wine tonight.
My husband just texted me saying, I missed the titty sweat break.
Oh, trust me, mate.
You didn't want to hear it.
You'll hear it in the show.
It's about him.
He has gotten to this stage now, Ducko.
And I'm sure, is Morgan getting the same?
Because obviously they're all over our social media.
People know what he looks like.
He's like working at events.
He's out on the street and people will come up and just go,
How's your tits?
Morgan gets her heaps at work because she's a nurse.
And we have a lot of nurse listeners, a lot of medical.
Absolutely.
But yeah.
He's getting it just from rice cookers who are happy to approach.
He was kicking someone out of a venue once.
Like, security's dragging this bloke out being like, I know you.
And he thinks, oh, have you been kicked out before?
And he referenced something like, you've shit the bed.
Remember I told that story.
That's right.
So, really, it's got to come with a warning when you hook up with a radio presenter.
Babs, have you had anything in public yet?
Oh, yeah.
Or has Jethro copped anything?
Not really.
Okay.
What I'm hearing is Babs needs to sham more.
Yeah.
I don't know about that.
Please, girl.
Please.
Itchy, scratch, scratch.
Scratch him.
No.
Nothing's happened really.
Okay.
Maybe we need to get Babs' face out there more.
Do you go out of a weekend, like, drinking, clubbing or anything like that?
Sometimes.
Yeah, like, what are you doing this weekend?
What are you doing Saturday night?
I think me and Jethro are going to see the Bob Dylan movie.
Oh, you're going to see it.
Yeah, right.
What about tonight?
I'll probably just watch TV and go to bed, to be honest.
Because you're 23.
When I was 23, I was going out every weekend.
Yeah, I mean, a lot of my friends now, like, they work weird jobs.
And so a lot of them work on weekends.
Or, like, my best friend moved to Port Macquarie, so, like, I don't see her as much now.
But she can still listen to the show there.
Yep.
And so everyone just hangs out with their boyfriends now.
So are you and Jethro not an every night kind of couple?
No.
No, yeah.
Like, we don't see each other every day.
Two nights a week?
It depends.
Like, this week it was two.
And then, yeah, we'll see each other on the weekend.
But I find it hard to do things during the week.
Do you have tampons or a diva cup at his house?
Yeah, if you see each other.
Do you know what I mean?
Two nights a week means two bangs a week.
Yeah.
So Babs can schedule her bang out.
Tuesday, Thursday, bang days.
Yeah, shave them.
Is that what you're doing?
No.
Answer the tampon question.
When I was 23, I was fucking like a rabbit and going out drinking beer.
I know.
I'm tired.
You are an old soul.
Do you have a toothbrush at his house?
Yes, and he has one at mine too.
Okay.
That's nice.
Yeah.
Do you reckon you'll be with Jethro forever?
Is he the one?
Tough question to answer.
That is a tough question.
Well, I'd hope so.
Have you guys spoken about it?
Do you ever speak about marriage?
Yeah, we do.
Like a timeline?
When you want to be? We're pretty like I don't really want to do any of that
until later. Yeah, yeah.
I kind of want to focus on work and then
just kind of like get myself
feeling good. She's a career driven lady. She's going to focus
on Jess and Darko. I love that about you. I love that.
We are the spouse. I have a question
for you, Babs, while we're getting to know you a bit more on this podcast.
Where do you see yourself in five years work-wise?
I love that.
What do you want to do?
Like, do you want to be a producer?
Do you want to-
Do you want to be a content director?
Stay in radio?
Do you want to get into something else?
I don't know.
I just kind of want to see what happens.
I don't want to put pressure on it.
All right.
Go with the flow.
Do you not believe in, I know manifesting feels woo-woo, but do you not believe in like
goals? Yeah, I do. What are your goals? Like, I want manifesting feels woo-woo, but do you not believe in goals?
Yeah, I do.
What are your goals?
I want to be a producer, but also.
Oh, shit, shy guy.
Careful.
But then also I wouldn't be opposed to anything else coming up and trying it.
Okay.
She's open.
She's like a bird.
She wants to fly away.
That's right.
She doesn't know where her home is.
I want to go back to school and be a dental hygienist.
Get it, bab.
You don't want to be on air.
You don't want to be on radio, do you?
I don't think so, no.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't think so.
Okay.
I don't think I'd be able to do that.
Agreed.
Let's be real.
Same, Babs.
Same.
No, your storytelling's getting better, actually.
It is.
Thank you.
Try.
Okay, so you might want to produce when you're older.
You don't know yet.
Would you be open to moving to, say, Sydney?
I don't really like Sydney, but if something came up and they're like,
I'm going to offer you a lot of money and this will be good,
I'll be like, okay, maybe consider it.
But I'm pretty content where I am.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a good lifestyle.
It's always good.
The grass isn't always greener.
No, it isn't.
Particularly not in radio.
Amen.
Shaga, where do you see yourself in five years?
Right here.
Joran Goyle.
Right here would be nice.
That's nice, yeah.
Steady stability.
I like that.
But who knows?
Five years is a long time.
It is a long time, particularly in radio.
It really is.
Hopefully we're all still doing this show in five years.
It's like donkeys in radio.
I know.
I like to think in five years we'll have a show to a bigger, bigger audience.
Yeah, that might be nice.
But you've had some interesting information from a tarot card reader, which I can't believe
you sat on for months without telling me.
It's because it happened at the start of our holidays.
And I wrote down this content and I forgot about it.
It'd be so deep down in your notes.
It was so deep down.
It's so deep down in my brain now.
And she gave me some very insightful stuff about Korea, future, the company taking me
for a rub and I can outgrow them.
Yeah, that's really interesting.
My wife.
You know what it sounds like?
Right.
They're trying to clip your wings.
Let's just keep all the bird analogies.
You can't clip me down.
Have you seen Paulie with a bad man?
It's a cop.
Jesus.
You're gorgeous.
And you just ruined it.
Okay, we're having a nice time.
Shy Guy gets it.
I get it.
I watched that movie as a kid.
It was about 25 years ago.
What's Paulie?
Paulie is about a bird with an inner monologue.
Fuck, is it another animated film?
My God.
No, no, no.
It's real.
That's even worse. It's the worst animation ever. It's like Air Bud, no. It's real. That's even worse.
It's the worst animation ever.
It's like Air Bud.
No.
It's like Air Bud.
You two watch a lot of similar shit, and it sucks.
Me and Babs are cultured.
When Shy Guy mentioned Kim Possible today, I've got to tell you.
Oh, Babs and I will be there watching TV.
Oh, the Bob Dylan.
Oh, right.
Get off your bloody artsy-fartsy high horses.
Let's enjoy it back to base.
We're tortured creative, Babs.
We are. You're tortured creative, Babs. We are.
You are tortured creative.
Speaking of, you know what we never got?
A fucking bass guitar come in.
Oh, you went through the production.
You went through the last shows.
Sorry, Duncan and I put our whole reputations on the line trying to promote those boys to
be the headline act.
I hear people comment like, what?
What the?
You did not.
Why?
Why?
What?
A little tit for tat.
A little you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours, chicken boys.
Chicken boys.
Chicken boys.
But let's not.
No, it's not about the chicken boys.
It's about our fondue to the chicken boys.
Drew Babs.
You bitch.
Yeah, so what's happening there?
You didn't even ask him.
Tell me the truth.
You didn't ask him.
Whoa.
Everyone chill.
Bo, Jethro, Hayden.
She knows names.
Crap.
There was another cool name.
Give me a clue.
What's the first letter?
F.
Freddie.
Finn?
Flynn?
Flynn.
You didn't even ask him, did you?
You're scaring me.
Did you ask?
Yeah, I did.
Bull?
No, I actually did.
Who did you ask Jethro?
Yes.
And what did he say?
I think he said he'll talk to the boys.
No, he didn't.
Did he ever talk to the boys?
Probably not.
Because your attitude he probably picked up on?
He probably went, I'm not doing that.
Babs doesn't really want me to do this, so I won't.
I was actually talking about Babs playing the bass guitar live on air.
Oh, my bad.
I've really turned that into the chicken boys coming.
That's all I wanted.
I just want to hear Babs come in and play the bass guitar.
No, but the chicken boys wanted to come and do like a rock rendition of Santa Claus is
Coming to Town.
I don't think they wanted to come.
I think we wanted them to come.
Maybe Babs sold it a bit better.
We're flat trapped getting a fucking spokesman on from Peters.
So we're getting them.
I can't believe you would do us like that.
I'm not doing anything.
Have you got the bass guitar at home?
That's the problem.
Do I?
Jethro has it at the moment.
So it's at his house?
He's brilliant.
Do you have a jam together?
Not really.
But have you?
Yeah, we have before, yeah.
Does he...
Oh, there it is.
I bet you it's not active.
No, it's not active. What have you been looking for? This is the yeah. Does he... Oh, there it is. I bet you it's not active. No, it's not active.
What have you been looking for?
The Seinfeld theme.
Oh, for the bass.
Slapping the bass.
It's cool it's not active.
I've got back end issues, guys.
Not talking about your obvious.
No, don't worry about that one.
Anyway.
Yeah, I want you to come on and play a live bass for a Friday show.
I haven't played in a long time. Yeah, I want you to come on and play a live bass for a Friday show. I haven't played in a long time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, instead of the wrap-up music you play, Babs comes in and goes, wrap it up, bitches.
That could be our new show, Wrap Up Music, because I currently run the show, Wraps Up.
We could get a little bass there.
Oh, see, no, I meant like at a break, if a break is petering out, you start playing a little thing.
I want Babs to kick the door and go.
If the break's getting too shit.
That's Babs, yeah.
Babs comes in with his guitar.
Babs comes with a bass.
That's great.
I'd have to practice.
I like that.
That would be good.
Can you bring it in next week?
Next week.
And then the following.
And we can find riffs that work.
And we can be like, yeah, that's a good one.
Or no, we don't like that.
So I have to make them up.
And we can call it Babs' Bass Blog.
Babby on the bass. Babby on the bass.
Babby on the bass.
And then can we get the cheeky boys?
Yeah.
See the attitude?
She's just not going to do it.
Why?
Because they're superstars.
They're rock stars and I'm not.
No, don't tell them that.
Well, we know you won't, so.
Did I ever say, hey Babs, can you ask the guys to get our song on the radio?
Sometimes. Like as a joke. Oh, okay. Well, as can you ask the guys to get our song on the radio? Sometimes.
Yeah.
Like as a joke.
Oh, okay.
Well.
We could barter.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll barter that.
We'll come in if you play our song.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Twist our arm, Babs.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll put.
The whole song.
They've got leverage.
Yeah.
But it's got to be the most commercially friendly song.
Yeah.
Out of all their songs.
Yeah, yeah.
We'll do it.
Jason.
I'm also going to say.
Will they get in trouble?
I mean, they will.
We will.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We'll do that. You're so merry. You're untouchable. We'll get in trouble. She mean, they won't. We will. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll do that.
You're so merry.
You're untouchable.
We'll get in trouble.
She did have a complaint this week, though.
Her first formal complaint.
Welcome to the complaints area.
I know.
You know, that means you've made it, Babs.
Yeah, it is.
Truly.
Like, you don't want to fly under the radar in this biz.
You've got to make noise.
You've got to spread your wings as big as they can go.
And that, unfortunately, comes with a bit more attention.
Both positive and negative, babe. Take it for a win. Okay. Take it for a win. I'll try. And if, unfortunately, comes with a bit more attention. Both positive and negative, babe.
Take it for a win.
Okay.
Take it for a win.
I'll try.
And if you need us to fight her, we will.
Don't overthink it.
People suck.
People do suck.
Yeah.
You know who you are.
Yeah.
Anyway.
So rude.
Well, we've all learned a lot about Babs in this chat, which has been nice.
Five-year goals.
Jess, where do you see yourself in five years?
Right here, baby.
Yeah.
Right in this.
Yeah, probably in this chair. Yeah. Unlike Paulie, wings unclipped. Jess, where do you see yourself in five years? Right here, baby. Yeah, probably in this chair.
Unlike Paulie, wings unclipped, flying with you.
No, no, I'm being nice.
I'm going to bat this up again.
I don't give a fuck.
I think you should.
And then can you go home and watch?
Come on over for dinner tonight, babe.
I'll have Paulie for dinner.
No!
Always from 1990.
While you're going through three tons of clothes, we've got to do something.
Yeah, we've got to do something.
We've got to talk. Yeah, we'll talk to you today. We've got to do something. We've got to talk.
I'll talk to you today.
We'll have to play music or something.
We'll watch Paulie.
Oh, God.
That sounds good.
I'm fine.
I wonder if Lucia will get weird about it,
like watching you go through her stuff.
I don't think she'll notice.
She's very smart.
I wonder if she's going to like my moustache.
I've been thinking about that for the last couple of days.
I wonder.
Should we retry the,
can we baby?
And see if she comes. I'll walk in and go for the last couple of days. I wonder. Should we retry the, can you baby? And see if she comes.
I'll walk in and go, here I am, blanket.
He's giving here I am blankets.
Hello, chair.
Welcome to Friday.
Well, good morning.
Here we are.
Good morning indeed.
What a day it'll be.
To Shy Guy, to Babs and to Ducko's Mo.
Yeah, it's still there.
There's a lot, a lot of commentary around this slug you've got above your lip.
I don't think you can call it a slug.
I think you can call it like it's just a wisp.
It's a dying caterpillar.
Yeah, it's a dead caterpillar.
It's one of those hairy caterpillars.
It's one of those little hairy caterpillars.
We had an event last time we had to host.
Yes.
And I wore it to the event.
The first thing Shy Guy just says to me is, you didn't shave your face.
It was like a wife who was angry.
Because we knew he was getting a haircut, seeing his good mate and our good mate, Brandon.
Brandon.
Because I was like, Brandon's the last line of defense.
He's not listening to his wife.
He's not listening to me.
He certainly didn't listen to you, Chargo.
Brandon will talk some sense.
Or fix it.
And fix it. Absolutely. And then to see. What can you do listen to you, shy guy. Brandon will talk some sense. Or fix it. And fix it, absolutely.
Fix it?
What can you do to it?
Get rid of it.
Yeah.
But then to see him in the evening, I went, oh, Brandon's betrayed us.
Yeah, Brandon said he loves-
Brandon has obviously given you the tick of approval.
Brandon said, I quote, I love a seedy moan.
I've had people liken me to Brad Pitt in Inglourious Bastards.
But the fact he used the adjective seedy, that's not a good thing.
Well, you know, maybe that's what I'm going for.
Bonnie got in touch.
What did Bonnie say?
She said, look, I don't hate it, but it would look a bit better filled out.
That's unfair.
Bonnie, that's my genetics, isn't it?
Okay.
Bonnie also wanted to know, dare I ask if a mullet is next to go with the mow?
No, I don't think I'm a mullet.
She said, why not go all out? Yeah. But then what if I shave the mow and I just have the mullet. No, I don't think I'm a mullet. She said, why not go all out?
Yeah.
But then what if I shave the mullet and I just have a mullet?
It's just a bit of a cross-identity.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I just wanted to mix it up.
And you know what?
A bit of talkability, guys.
There's a lot of talkability.
And we did a poll on Jess and Ducko, and it was pretty much 50-50.
I was about to say, bro, it's 47-53.
Like, there's nothing in it.
People are liking it, which is funny.
I didn't expect that.
My wife hasn't kicked me out yet, you know.
She hasn't kissed me.
But she also hasn't made you sleep in the spare room.
Exactly.
Which she's just gotten ready for the baby.
Yeah, exactly.
You'd fit in the bassinet.
I haven't got that yet.
I'm getting yours.
You are getting it tonight.
I've got it ready for you.
Oh, great. I've dusted it off. getting it tonight. I've got it ready for you. Oh, great.
I've dusted it off.
Yeah, tonight, guys, spare me a prayer or a thought.
We're going to Jess's house.
Bring the ute, babe.
Yeah, I will.
Bring the ute.
So she can give us a bunch of baby clothes.
A bunch isn't big enough.
It's genuinely a uteful.
Yeah.
It is a uteful.
Oh, God.
And you can take what you like.
There is a lot of loud prints.
Yeah, I don't mind loud prints.
I just, I don't know if I can take lemon stuff.
You know, so you can see the baby in a crowd.
Oh, that was mine.
There she is.
I'm going to chuck her in the crowd.
See if you can find her.
Whee!
I've got a little, when I put it on Instagram,
I've got a little fluoro onesie that looks like a little tradie outfit.
Oh, nice.
And someone commented saying,
oh, I'm sure Ducko's excited to get the little tradie outfit.
I went, oh, the guy's had a ute for two minutes.
Everyone relax.
Whoa, whoa.
No, people get me now.
I've got a moustache and a ute.
A density change?
I think so.
You've really, you've gone through a metamorphosis.
Yeah.
Like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.
I don't even recognise you anymore.
I'm building a shed this weekend.
You are not.
Mate, I struggle to build flat pack things for my kid.
Shed's come flat pack.
Exactly.
Shaga's coming over.
Wow.
And we're going to have a few skewies.
Great support from Shaga there.
Yeah.
You want to come over and build a shed?
I don't hate it anymore.
Stop it.
It's all right.
I think you need to get rid of this.
The side part.
Less handlebary.
But then it looks too short.
It looks too wispy-pewdy.
It's funny.
I think he would dip into, right now it's handlebar, seedy mode.
A little bit less would turn into like
seedy Frenchman. Yeah, really like
long cigarette, seedy Frenchman.
A bit rude. You'd have to start wearing
all black with a beret and going to
art openings. Yeah, I could do that
too. Maybe that's the next identity crisis.
I just like the idea
of when my child comes, I have a mo, you know.
Oh, you can't. First impressions count.
She can't come out of that canal and see that.
Pops out.
She looks like, she's like, ah!
Vomits on me.
Those videos where guys have like really big beards and then they shave it and their baby
freaks out.
Yeah.
Because it's like, who's that?
Who's that?
You're my dad.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you've got to lock into a face.
I'll shave this and she won't even notice.
Did someone blow and the wind fell off?
And the hair came off?
I just need to come past you.
It's gone.
Hey, enough about my moustache.
We've got a huge show.
And there's a lot to get through.
A lot to get through.
Until 9am.
10k, Alphabuck, 6.30 and 8.
We got your last Billie Eilish tickets in town, baby.
That's right.
A double pass plus accommodation at the Park Royal Darling Harbour in Sydney.
We also have free fuel sporadically to give out the show today for a free fuel Friday.
Babs is out there.
She had a good night's sleep.
Oh, she's well rested today.
She is ready to take your calls because there is a lot to give away.
IBS been playing up again, has it Babs?
No, no.
You all right?
No, I'm okay.
Oh, you couldn't have said it any more depressed.
Sorry, I had heaps of cheese yesterday.
Ah, so it was that.
Okay.
No, but I'm fine.
Predictable.
Okay.
Predictable.
Oh, no.
You know what hurts you and you keep doing it.
You can't be running to the toot while people are trying to get their free fuel on their
billy tickets.
Yeah.
I won't.
Okay, good.
Remember we talked about a plug?
Where did we land on that?
Perhaps.
Perhaps.
So she'd never have to leave her desk. Nah, yeah. Was it a plug or a w we land on that? For Babs. For Babs.
So she'd never have to leave her desk.
Nah, yeah.
Was it a plug or a wetsuit?
My apologies. It was a wetsuit.
It was a wetsuit.
Yeah, a plug was a bit aggressive.
Oh, sorry.
You were going to bring your wetsuit.
That was Babs and I just talking about the week.
That was Minx Eronica.
Yeah, yeah.
Who take?
Hey, No Dumb Thought Friday's coming up next.
Good morning, team.
No Dumb Thought Friday's next.
Yes.
If you got one, 13, 10, 60.
The best No Dumb Thought, I'm happy to give free fuel to. Hello. Just the best one, George. Good morning, team. No Dumb Thought Friday is next. If you got one, 131060, the best No Dumb Thought.
I'm happy to give free fuel to you.
Hello.
Just the best one, though.
No judgment.
There's no judgment here. Just a little thought you've had where you've not had a safe space
with which to discuss it.
Safe with your friends.
131060, free fuel.
Come on.
Jess and Ducko.
Jess and Ducko.
There's no such thing as a dumb thought.
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
People always say there's no such thing as a dumb question.
But here at Jess and Ducko, what about those little niggling thoughts
that you never have anyone to talk through with?
They eat away at you.
They eat away at you because you go, if I say this out loud,
my friends are going to roll their eyes, probably throw eggs at me. Not here at JD HQ. We'd never do that at you. They eat away at you. Because you go, if I say this out loud, my friends are going to roll their eyes. Yeah.
Probably throw eggs at me.
Not here at JD HQ.
We'd never do that to you.
No, no, because we are some of the dumbest people you'll meet. Jump into the dumb thought bath with us.
Lather yourself up.
The temperature is perfect.
It's always good.
I've got that Johnson and Johnson, the baby no more tears bubble bath.
And you've got Johnson and Johnson because Shy Guy and I are here.
Now, 13, 10, 60, if you've got one.
This is meant to be dumb, Ducco.
Stop being so switched on and smart.
If you've got a text as well, 048881069, you can text us in your dumb thoughts.
If you are shy, you can always text.
Do you have one that you'd like to share with us, Ducco?
Mine involves the dog in the grooming department.
Did a really exciting thing the other day where I got Pam a new harness and a new lead.
Okay.
And then I thought when I got a new harness and new lead, she needed a new collar as well.
Oh, well, we can't upgrade two pieces of merch.
And she kind of looked like she was knowing it too, like what's going on here.
Okay.
And then it made me think because I feel like her persona changed when she got the new colours and the new threads.
It was like you with your mo.
Exactly.
Do you think a dog getting either a bath or a new collar and a new harness is like them getting a haircut or a fresh look?
Do you think they feel that too?
Like they have a different persona about them for that period?
That's nice.
My dog is so scared of the groomer.
I don't know what happened one time.
But as soon as we get anywhere near the vicinity, he freaks out.
So the only persona I see is anxiety and stress.
But particularly those dogs where they do have to maybe get a big cut
or they get the start like the poodle.
The poodle knows when it's got a fresh strut.
They do strut their stuff.
They strut, yeah.
I reckon they would.
Because Pam, I just feel like.
How often are you washing, Pam?
We only wash like once every four months.
See, I wonder if it gets to like three months and three weeks and she goes,
guys, I'm feeling it.
And when we did wash her the other day, loved it.
Had the zoomies, was sunbaking, strutting around.
Like us, you know, the day goes by, you haven't brushed your teeth for 16 hours,
you go, God, I need to freshen up.
That's what they'd feel like.
She looks lighter.
I'd feel fresh.
Yes.
I reckon they would. Good. I feel like they do. And when She looks lighter. I feel fresh. Yes. I reckon they would.
Good.
I feel like they do.
And when I got this new, I thought she looked great in her new harness.
The colours blended so well with her coat.
And she's white.
I mean, anything would really work well.
She goes well.
Have you ever thought about how many grapes you've eaten over your entire life?
Good transition.
Thanks.
That's a great question.
I reckon it'd be.
I was munging on a few grapes the other day.
My daughter loves grapes. So there's always grapes in our house now.
I see.
I reckon we're in millions territory.
Millions?
Millions of grapes have been through my mouth and in my body.
It's like when you really think about how many things you've eaten in your entire life.
True.
But grapes, strawberries, things like nuts.
Nuts.
Oh my God, don't even get me started on grains of rice.
Oh, yeah.
How many? Like, the number would be astronomical. Don't even get me started on grains of rice. Oh, yeah. How many?
Like, the number would be astronomical.
It would be through the roof.
Through the roof.
It would be absolutely through the roof.
Yes.
I wonder if you could ever do a grape counter.
You could start with Lucia.
You could genuinely start.
You could actually probably work that out.
Because she only eats maybe 10 at a time.
Yeah.
So it would be easy to just, like, put a little, you know, marker.
Like, you know, when you're in jail and you mark off how many days.
Yeah.
I'll do that as a great counter. You can all relate
to that. We've all been there. Someone watched
Shawshank Redemption recently. Day number 24.
Shawshank, you get out too?
Do you get out through the sewage?
Absolutely. Yeah, nice.
That's interesting. Yeah.
Do you want to add anything?
You know like in the old days
when they would shoot a gun
in the sky? Oh my God.
Like in a Western.
Or just in America.
How many birds?
No.
Does the bullet come down?
How many birds have you killed?
How many birds have you eaten?
How many birds have you died?
Just from the random Western birds.
You know like in the...
They would just shoot up.
Yep.
It's got to come back down eventually, right?
100%.
Yeah, where does it go?
And does it hit anyone?
Does it get faster?
Is Gary just minding his own business walking a kilometre away?
Just, ah! Babs, I'm going to need physics chat.
What happens to bullets that are just shot in the sky?
It's a good one, though.
Because the clouds don't absorb them.
If you have a sniper, that goes like 4km up.
Surely they don't drop back to Earth at the same velocity.
And at the same location.
Yeah, they can't.
Would they hurt you when they come back down?
Or is it just like an acorn dropping?
Yeah.
I'm going to need the answer to that.
Yeah.
Wow.
We've got a Ruth on 131060.
You can always get involved.
You don't need an invitation.
Ruth, good morning to you.
Good morning, guys.
How are you going?
We're so good.
And it's a safe space, Ruth, with which to share dumb thoughts.
What's yours?
Yeah, so I've always just wondered that if when you get out of the shower,
you're clean, how come your towel is constantly getting dirty?
Oh my God.
Right!
And then you just clean yourself and then you get that dirty towel again.
Because, like, why do I need to wash the towel?
Yeah, exactly.
Like, come on, surely us, especially our mothers, us mothers here who always are just doing
laundry and one thing we could save on is at least the towels. Come on. Us, especially our mothers, us mothers here who always are just doing laundry.
Yes. Like, one thing we could save on is at least the towels.
Come on.
They're only drying a clean thing.
Yeah, exactly.
100%.
Oh, my.
That is a good one.
Really, we should be washing the towels as much as we wash ourselves.
Yeah.
Well, because why would we reuse it?
If it's getting dirty, then every time we use it, then it should get washed, I reckon.
You never had a ShamWow, obviously.
Obviously.
The ShamWows are fantastic.
Maybe we need to drip dry.
Just eliminate.
Just shake like a dog.
A shake like a dog.
Oh, the drip dry, the shake.
We could do that.
We could do that.
Okay.
I love that, Ruth.
I'm going to give you some free fuel for you.
Happy Free Fuel Friday, Ruth.
You enjoy that.
Thank you for sharing.
No, thank you. Babs
has come in saying, really, listen to this
guys. This is huge. What goes
up must come down.
Bullet still falls.
I think we knew that.
Babs, we're not questioning
gravity. We know this is
dumb thought. We know that.
We understand gravity. We were saying
what happens when it falls?
Would it injure someone? Yes.
It says it would injure someone.
But if you're in rural areas, the chance
of that happening is lower.
Because there's not as many people. But the cows!
What about the cows? Oh my god.
Farmer Joe comes out and he's like,
what's happened to Betsy? Because Shy Guy's
shooting guns.
Shy Guy's shooting his guns again.
And the bullets
are coming back down.
That's terrifying to think.
Great edition today, guys.
Well done.
We were really cooking.
We're going to New Zealand.
I love coming here.
Cha-cha-cha.
It's always good to be here.
It's always great to be here.
The greatest pad see you of my life.
Shut up.
In New Zealand?
In New Zealand.
So the girl who walks our dog, good morning, Ellie.
Yeah.
She was going to Auckland to see Luke Combs.
I went, look, you're going to Auckland.
I'm going to need you to go to Mekong, baby.
Best pad see you of my life.
You're fine.
When did you go?
I said six years ago.
And I still.
When you were young.
I still think about it.
Yeah.
So I love to be in New Zealand for many reasons.
I mean, you haven't said the Queenstown trip you did with your family, your new baby when
you had Lucia.
That was a terrible trip.
You know that.
You shouldn't have a good time.
The six years ago one was just Gussie and I.
Wow.
A couple of pad see yous.
A couple of pad see yous.
In Auckland.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'm having this debate now.
We're going.
We're going to go.
Pop into Auckland. Get your pad see you at Mekong, baby. And then get a ferry across to Waiheke Island. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'm having this debate now. We're going. We're going to go. Pop into Auckland.
Get your pad see you at Mekong, baby.
And then get a ferry across to Waiheke Island.
Yeah.
Beautiful wineries.
Unbelievable.
Some great kayaking spots, actually.
You know how I feel about a kayak.
I hate kayaking.
Have you ever tried to kayak with your partner?
I'll tell you this much.
It's not fun.
Yeah, yeah.
See, from my perspective, I loved the kayaking.
I'm sure Angus would 100% agree with you.
Oh, my goodness.
Absolutely. The Cormantle Coast, I think the kayaking, but I'm sure Angus would 100% agree with you. Oh, my goodness. Absolutely.
The Cormantle Coast, I think.
Cormantle?
Anyway, unbelievable coastline.
Beautiful.
I just want to see Hobbiton.
I'll be real with you.
You know, that's what I want to do.
It's so much fun.
We're not here to talk about where we want to go in New Zealand.
Okay, what are we here to talk about?
We're here because the Memorial Park Pool in Palmerston North, New Zealand's North Island,
has been rocked by a scandal.
Don't tell me the G-string bikini ban has made it all the way to New Zealand.
Oh, no, no.
Is that just us?
That's just us.
That's just Australia.
That's just the Blue Mountains.
Yep.
So what's happened here is there's been a man who's gone viral
after he's given himself a full bath and a full deep clean with soap
in the kids' wading pool.
Oh, no.
In a public pool.
Oh, no. There's bathrooms at a public pool. Oh, no.
There's bathrooms at a public pool.
I appreciate maybe your water's out.
Maybe there's a situation.
You can't do that at your home.
Public pools can be so disgusting for so many reasons
because people can't be trusted.
People cannot be trusted.
The number of Band-Aids I have seen.
Oh, my God.
Doing the Tay Show weather and having to go at water parks with kids.
But for some reason, I seem to get all the water parks with kids gig.
Yeah, because you're very happy to put your budgies on on national TV.
I've had conjunctivitis before.
I've had some rashy things going on.
You just like, yeah, it's tough.
You know, it is tough.
It is tough.
This man went as far as getting the soap and putting it.
Like a bar of soap?
Yep.
And putting it.
No Velcro.
Sorry, no alfoil to hold it either.
No, no.
So it would probably slip it all over the place.
He'd put it in his butt crack.
Now, say, we had this conversation when you brought up soap the other day.
Yeah.
There's two kinds of people in the world.
People who lather up their hands and wash that way,
and people who travel the bar of soap.
He travelled the soap.
He travelled the soap south of the equator.
Inside of him.
Inside of him.
While people are filming him going, what is he doing?
What were the lifeguards?
I appreciate they're 17.
What are they doing?
But like, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
Whoa, whoa, I'm here to do CPR.
I've been trained for this.
God forbid you drown.
Yeah, I've not been trained for a man to clean himself in a pool while I'm here.
He had clothes on, like he had boardies on, but he was still lathering himself, cleaning
himself, his pits and bits.
And, you know, this is nightmare fuel right now.
Because you were going to go to a local
public pool the other day. Do you go there much? Yeah, we do.
I find it easier
than the beach. Obviously, the beach is very
accessible and it's free. That's wonderful.
But in terms of shade,
in terms of just having bathrooms
available, the pool I do
find better. The chlorinated smell you get in the air
because it's just so heavily doused in
chlorine. The pool we go to has that it oh, it's not a playground per se.
I guess it's a water play with the giant bucket.
Oh, yeah, you wait for the bucket.
And fills.
And fills.
And then tips.
That's another thing I've got to do on TV all the time.
They're like, we're going to time it with the bucket.
And then it never times.
Why didn't the guy share?
You've got to share under the bucket.
Why did they not invent the bucket to time when you want it to, though?
What do you mean?
Isn't it like every pretty much
three minutes? Yeah, exactly.
When you're doing live weather, Jess, it's a tough
carry, okay? You know, when I'm telling you
the weather at Alice Springs and the
bucket's going and I've got to wrap you up. And what do they want?
Do they want that as the crescendo? Exactly.
And the weather in
the Springs.
Everyone gets wet and it's raining. I'm out of here, guys.
And then I do the other. It didn't even work. Do you get the earpiece? Keep padding, keep padding, keep padding. Keep going. This is crap. Everyone gets wet and it's raining. I'm out of here, guys. And then I did it the other day. It didn't even work.
Do you get the earpiece?
Keep padding, keep padding, keep padding.
Keep going, keep going.
This is crap.
What are you doing?
Back to the weather in Brisbane.
Did you miss it the first time?
I just pulled out a bar of soda and started washing myself.
Jess and Ducko in the morning.
Jess and Ducko's 10K Alpha Bucks on hit.
Yeah, 30 seconds to answer.
Ten questions all starting with the same letter.
We have to take your first answer.
You can't use the same answer twice.
And if you're unsure of the question, just say pass.
We'll come back, of course, if there is time.
We're playing for 10K.
They're the rules of engagement.
We go to Tiffany today.
Good morning, Tiff.
Morning, guys.
How are we?
Oh, Tiffany, for a Friday.
Fantastic.
We've already given away some free fuel.
Oh, yeah.
We're going to give away some Billie Eilish tickets at the end of the show.
And right now, Tiffany, we're about to give away $10,000, wouldn't you say?
Oh, I would say so.
You would say so.
What do you want to do with the money?
So my son started high school yesterday.
Oh. I would absolutely love to take him on a great little holiday in the school holiday.
Hang on.
He doesn't deserve it.
They've just come off about two months of holidays.
Tiffany's like, you know what?
You want another holiday?
Day one of school.
You know what?
You burned it, sweetie.
Maybe you would consider Sweden or Spain as a holiday destination, Tiffany,
because they start with the letter S.
All right, let's do it.
Okay, Tiff's fired up.
You know why?
She's got the great motivation.
She's doing it for love.
What's your son's name, Tiff?
Thomas.
We're doing it for Tom.
Thomas.
We're doing it for Tom.
Thomas the Tank.
Here we go. Your time will start after Tom. Thomas. We're doing it for Tom. Thomas the Tank. Here we go.
Your time will start after the first question.
Starting with the letter S, we need you to name a hobby.
Swimming.
A beer brand.
Sleers.
A zodiac sign.
Scorpion.
A ball sport.
Pass.
A kitchen utensil.
Spoon.
A dog breed. Spanil. Spoon.
A dog breed.
Spaniel.
An airline.
Swedish Airways.
A board game.
Pass.
A condiment.
Force.
A boy's name.
Pair.
Balls.
Ball.
Okay, I had a few question marks going on. A few of those ones.
I don't know.
Yep.
I said six.
A beer brand, Sawyers.
It might be a beer brand.
I'm not sure.
Could be a little crafty.
I'm not sure.
We need to check that one out.
With that no, you give craft beer aficionado.
It's a hopsy paler.
A dog breeds Spaniel.
Does it need to be a cocker Spaniel?
Great question. I'm not sure if that's too umbrellaopsipaler. A dog breeds Spaniel. Does it need to be a Cocker Spaniel? Great question.
I'm not sure if that's too umbrella of a term.
Need to check if the dog breeds Spaniel individually.
At an airline, Swedish Airways, I don't know if they've got an airline either.
I mean, Singapore's got one.
Why doesn't Sweden?
Yeah, I'm not saying these are wrong, Tiff.
I'm just saying I don't actually know and they weren't in my sheet here as answers.
Scandinavian Airlines is the...
So not Swedish?
Not Swedish.
And then Spaniel is a dog breed because we're learning.
We're learning.
Spaniel is a type of dog according to Google.
We'll give you seven.
That's seven.
And then Sawyers is a beer brand.
Anyone?
I didn't know if that was one.
You don't go away with your hand or though, Tiff.
You do get yourself $100 to spend online at TVSN where beauty begins.
Oh, my God.
Sawyer Brewing Co.
Locally owned brewery with handcrafted beer and wood-fired pizza.
Did you know that, Tiff, or did you just shoot from the hip?
I just shot from the hip.
I love that.
You haven't corrected me, so there you go.
So you got yourself eight in the end.
From Spearfish, South Dakota.
Well, now, go and get your old soya's.
Hey, well done, Tiff.
We learned a lot today.
We did.
We did.
We both did.
And while we're still learning, should we just keep learning?
Yeah.
Justin Bieber's kid's name is Jack Blues Bieber.
Yes, it is.
We were talking about that previously, Tiff.
Just while we're tying up things in little packages.
Blues fans.
Got a few texts coming from that.
There you go.
Hey, but thanks for playing, Tiff.
No, thanks, guys.
Thanks, Tiff.
You too, babe.
Tell Tom, keep at it for year seven.
Keep at it for the high school.
Jess and Ducko. Right now, Ducko, we, keep at it for year seven. Keep at it for the high school.
Right now, Ducko, we're going to duck over.
Yeah?
To America, because I think this information will tickle your pink.
Okay.
I'm not a huge fan.
Of America?
No, of this information.
What have you got?
I've got info out of the cinema world.
One of the greatest tracks of all time.
A local senator with one of the great names, Martin Looney.
What a great name. Martin Looney.
Martin Looney.
He has been inundated.
He's a senator in the great state of Connecticut.
Come on now.
Senator Looney has been inundated with his constituents,
the people who live in his area of New Haven, inundated.
I can only imagine this demographic of people are maybe 75 plus.
But he's been inundated with complaints.
Yes.
So much so that he's taking action and it's made global news,
is what we're talking about here in Australia.
He has put forward a bill to save his constituents precious time.
When they go to the movies,
they are sick of sitting through the trailers and ads.
If they want to go to the movies, they want to see the new Mufasa.
And they're told it's going to be on at 6.45.
They roll in at 6.30.
They're probably getting there early.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They buy their ticket and their popcorn. They sit down. I'm sitting through ads and trailers. You know that thing's not signed until 6.30. They're probably getting there early. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They buy their ticket and their popcorn.
They sit down.
I'm sitting through ads and trailers.
You know that thing's not signed until 7.15.
100%.
They're writing letters to Senator Martin Looney,
so much so that he's now proposed a bill making it illegal for the cinema
not to tell you, all right, the movie will actually start at 7.15.
Oh, that's genius.
We've listed it as 6.45, but the actual movie.
The film is going to start at like 7.15 on the nose.
The lights are going to dim and the movie will actually start at 7.15.
The Dolby Surround sound promo will play and then the lights will go dim,
the curtains will widen.
Yeah, it goes everywhere.
Exactly.
He is saying, I've had so many complaints,
a number of calls saying it's outrageous.
I'm there for an extra half an hour.
I'm missing dinner reservations.
I'm having to pay. They do sound very old.
I'm having to pay the babysitter extra.
I mean, everyone knows that movies don't start for at least 20, 20 and a half an hour.
Like that's not rocket science, but I don't hate it.
The trailers are my favorite part of the movie.
They used, I used to love trailers.
Oh, I love that part.
But now you see trailers on every single social media app.
So you're seeing these trailers.
Usually, back in the day, you'd go to the movies, you'd see the trailers, and that's where you'd see the trailers.
Yes.
I loved going, I want to see that.
I don't want to see that.
I don't want to see that.
But now, have you noticed, they entwine trailers with ads?
It used to be ads, then three trailers, then film.
Now it's like ad trailer, ad trailer.
See, a commentator from the cinema world has gone,
we make a lot of our revenue from those ads.
Yeah, that's how they're going to survive.
So if this bill passes, if Looney's bill passes
and all the people are going, well, I'm not going to come at 6.45,
I'm going to come at 7.15, who's going to now keep advertising
at the cinema?
It might be the death of cinema.
COVID tried to take it away.
And it's already struggling.
I never want to see cinema die.
Our attention span is already so short.
Thank you, TikTok.
Someone has said, was it Looney?
Yeah, I think Looney said, I love going to the movies,
but it's becoming harder to justify the ordeal going to the big complex
rather than waiting a few weeks for the film just to show up on Netflix
or Amazon Prime.
Because then what happens is people watch it at home
and they might not watch it in its entirety.
They might pause it.
They might go to the bathroom. They're not watching the film as it should be watched. As it should be watched people watch it at home and they might not watch it in its entirety. They might pause it. They might go to the bathroom.
They're not watching the film as it should be watched.
As it should be watched, which comes with ads and trailers.
Just at the start.
I don't want it to die.
I do love when you're sitting in a movie cinema, though, and it's like, advertise here.
Advertise.
Your face could be up here.
Your brand.
Or bring in your Nintendo.
Use the cinema for your own purpose.
We've got to do that one time.
I'm going to hire out a cinema and just have a party in there.
But only if we can play Nintendo 64.
I was really good at Nintendo 64.
Well, we'll play Switch.
What have I got?
No, what have I got?
Have I got a Switch?
Yeah, I've got a Switch.
You've got a Switch.
No, I was really good at the little toggle and you could roll it around your hand.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, we can play Mario Kart 8 on Switch.
Okay.
We can play that.
That's a bit of fun.
Okay.
Has that got a little toggle that I can rotate really fast?
Yeah, we've got toggles.
All right.
We've got toggles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yes, I don't know because I know Australia copies a bit of fun. Okay. Has that got a little toggle that I can rotate really fast? Yeah, we get toggles. All right. We toggle.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, yes, I don't know because I know Australia copies a lot of what America does.
I don't know if I want to see this brought here.
At first I was like, I like this, but no, I actually don't think so.
I don't want to be pandering to the complainers.
You know?
You can't be doing that.
Loony appears to be pandering to the complainers.
Also, just learn that it's going to take half an hour in the cinema.
I know.
We're late for dinner.
Come on.
Those are real practical issues that come up.
It's real first world issues, hey.
I'm missing my dinner.
What made you think of this, Ducko?
Yesterday, we were discussing Neapolitan ice cream in depth.
You saw my wife eating it at 2 p.m.
Pregnant, obviously.
That justifies that.
Did you do like a 9.30 Woolies run to get said?
9.30 p.m. I did, to get ice cream.
And she doesn't even like Neapolitan.
She's only eating the chocolate, which I'm fine with because Neapolitan sucks.
But just get a tub of chalk, Morgan.
But in my opinion, had that...
And I'm off Morgan, and she knows why.
So I'm not going to defend her choices with Neapolitan.
In my opinion, Neapolitan has stood the test of time.
It's always been there from when you were a child to now,
and it always tastes the same.
I'm going to need, now please Google correctly, shy guy,
when did it hit?
Shelves.
Shelves.
Oh, when did it come out?
Oh, when did it come out?
Like how long has it stood?
Because when I think of ice creams, that one's been around forever.
Oh, the triple, yeah, the triple colour.
The triple colour has stood the test of time.
People love it.
People do love it.
And it made me think, like what in your household, what in your life colour has stood the test of time. People love it. People do love it. And it made me think, what in your household,
what in your life has actually stood the test of time?
For me, Zucko, it's not food, but it is food adjacent.
I don't know if this was a thing in your family,
so it might not come up for you,
but the vintage soup bowl mugs with the soup recipes on them.
I'll show you a picture here because I grew up with these.
Yes, yes, yes.
I remember you talking about these before.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So when I moved into state, I always had in the back of my head,
jeez, I want those bowls.
I know my mum bowl cups.
I know my mum still has them.
And when I flagged it with her, like, hey,
can you make sure they're in your will?
And they go to me.
It was a grim combo. Not my me. It was a grim combo.
Not my brother.
It was a grim combo.
She said, your brother's already taken them.
So when I told the rice cookers about this travesty, I was gifted someone's dead grandma.
She went, look, my grandma passed away.
I've got the bowl cups.
But I don't really want them.
You can have them.
That's great.
They have stood the test of time.
And now I know that I will always serve soup to my daughter, the next generation, in these
vintage soup bowl cups.
She'll love it.
She'll go, what the hell is this hideous thing, mum?
I don't know if they'll continue beyond me.
But for me, that has stood the test of time.
There is no other way to consume soup.
For me and my household, I know you didn't grow up with this, but I did.
And now we have them in ours.
Not Activite.
No.
I don't know if Activite's still the test of time.
It looks like rabbit poo.
It does.
It is corn holders.
The things you jam in your corn.
Hang on, hang on.
The little corn prongs.
The things you jam in the sides of your corn and eat them.
You are 33 years old.
I love corn prongs.
Are you still using them?
Yeah.
What are they called?
I still have them.
I don't know.
The corn prongs are the yellow corn prongs.
They look like baby corn.
They look like baby corn. And you shove them in the end of your corn and you eat them. Like than I still have them. I don't know, the corn prongs, they're the yellow corn prongs. They look like baby corns. They look like baby corns.
And you shove them in the end of your corn and you eat them.
Like, I still have them.
Oh, my God.
They're equivalent to me for, I don't eat hard-boiled eggs,
but I thought they went the way of the egg holder.
Yeah, the egg holder, and you can splice it.
Not a thing anymore.
Yeah, no, the corn holders are great.
I love the corn holders.
Do they have a name, Shy Guy, or are you still looking up Neapolitan?
Just corn holders, but there's a couple of brands. There's the Jumbuck corn, there's the Corn Dude. Do they have a name, shy guy? Or are you still looking up Neapolitan? Just corn holders.
But there's a couple of brands.
There's the Jumbuck corn.
There's the corn dude.
Oh, yeah, see?
The corn dude.
Yeah, that's a funny name.
Plenty of corn holders.
And when was Neapolitan introduced?
1894.
Come on.
That stood the test of time.
According to the Australianfoodtimeline.org.
Okay.
There we go.
Great.
Great.
Great resource.
Credible source.
So 131060. Or you can always text the text line 0488881069.
Why would you text when we've got bloody free fuel and Billie Eilish tickets?
What's the test time?
It doesn't have to be food.
It can be anything.
No, no, it could be food adjacent, like our...
Yo-yos?
Something from, I guess, your childhood that you brought into adulthood,
like the yo-yo for Shy Guy.
Oh, he's the pogo stick guy.
I think it's really highlighted when you leave home and you go,
I need that.
Where is that?
Where is that?
Where do I get that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, Ma, how do I get one of those for me?
Oh, Grandma's slow cooker.
The slow cookers.
I mean, they have been around the crap pot.
And you know what?
They don't make stuff like they used to.
Nah.
All our tech now, you get two years.
As soon as the warranty's up, it's dead.
See you later.
Whereas back then, stood the test of time.
Absolutely.
13, 10, 60.
Give us a call.
We'll get yours on next.
Jess and Ducko.
Jess and Ducko.
We're asking you, what has stood the test of time?
Yeah, this week we were talking about Neapolitan ice cream.
And Ducko, it brought you back to your childhood,
and you were like, we bought it just the other day.
Tasted just as good as it did back as a kid.
Shy Guy did some excellent Googling.
It's been around since the 1800s.
It gave me much more issues with my stomach this time around
than when I did when I was a child.
That was like the other day.
I was craving two-minute noodles.
I've not had two-minute noodles.
Flavouring.
I immediately threw up.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
It's really bad.
It's like me hearing noodles. It's like a flavouring. I freaking loved two-minute noodles. Flavouring. I immediately threw up. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's really bad. It's like me hearing noodles.
It's like a flavouring.
I freaking loved two-minute.
I know.
So for me, unfortunately, not two-minute noodles.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But we're asking what has.
I wrote a few texts in as well.
Olivia said on the text line 048881069,
my nan always had the metal Weet-Bix tin.
Metal?
What, like a keepsake thing?
Yeah, it's like a metal square Weet-Bix tin.
I remember those.
So would you buy that once and then you buy the cardboard ones and stock it up?
Yeah, and you stock in the metal tin.
It was a nice thing.
Someone else has just texted in saying,
did you know strawberry ice cream had arsenic in it back in the day?
Well, there goes Neapolitan.
Took the test of time.
Back in the day, though.
Heart doesn't hurt me now.
Tomorrow, there won't be chocolate, strawberry, vanilla.
It'll be like chocolate, vanilla.
Banana.
Josh, on 131060, Joshy, what stood the test of time?
Milo, guys, I reckon.
It's been around long before my time.
Of course.
So, Josh, you remember having a nice glass of Milo as a kid,
and then you got into adulthood.
You went, you know what?
I'm now buying the giant tins for myself.
Yeah, that and not only Milo, but you guys were talking about
the Neapolitan ice cream.
I always hated that stuff unless it had heaps of Milo on it.
Oh, Milo makes everything better.
It does, yeah.
Milo does make everything better.
Just a vessel for your Milo.
Lucas on 131060.
Lucas, what stood the test of time?
Hey, guys, Mr. Whippy Van.
Oh, amen, Lucas.
When you hear
that...
Whatever that...
Yeah. That does
something to your soul. It does, doesn't it?
It is so good. Green
sleeves. Yes.
Yeah.
Lucas, when was the last time
you got a Mr. Whippy?
I haven't gone, but I was literally in Sydney yesterday
and I could just hear it coming down the street.
Yeah.
Oh, that does things to me.
All the parents out there who tell their kids,
when the Mr Whippy's playing the music, it means he's out of ice cream.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't run out.
Don't you dare.
Mr Whippy's got very expensive these days, kids.
Oh, I like that. Oh, that's a great one, yeah. Don't run out. Don't you dare. Mr. Whippy's got very expensive these days, kids. Oh, I like that.
Oh, that's a great one, Lucas.
That's fantastic.
Quinton on 13, 10, 60.
Still the test of time for you.
The butter plate with the lid.
That is such a, you know, like you would,
it's almost like a ceramic dish and it has a little.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
A little covering, I guess.
Yes, a cover over it.
That's what you store the butter on.
That's so grandma, Quinton.
It is.
Did you see someone obviously older in your family?
You're like, I want to be that fancy with my butter.
Yeah, my grandma's got one, then we ended up with one,
and then I took it when I moved out.
It's always what your nan has, and it just gets passed down.
So, Quinton, what do you do?
Do you buy just like the bric-a-butter, unwrap it,
and keep it in that?
Yeah. Yeah, that's nice. That's fancy, unwrap it and keep it in that? Yeah.
Yeah, that's nice.
That's fancy.
That's bougie.
I love it.
Bronwyn on 131060, what's the test of time, Bronwyn?
It's actually an appliance.
When I was about eight, 50-something years ago, my auntie gave me a,
because I love baking cakes and stuff like that,
my auntie gave me a handheld Mixmaster Sunbeam and you just insert the tube
in. It still works. I used it two weeks ago
to make banana bread.
It's older than 50 plus.
So I think I got it, I know it sounds strange on over you, but it was probably around
1974, 75.
Wow.
They usually come in that beige colour.
Yes, yes.
I wish I could show you if it's beige and it's got a bit of orange on it.
You push the lever at the front and it pops the beaters out so you can wash them.
Yes, and obviously you lick the cake batter off.
You have to hold it.
Sorry, Jess.
Yeah, you lick the cake batter off.
Don't worry about washing them. You've got to lick the cake batter off. Oh, yeah, yeah. I, Jess. Yeah, you lick the cake batter off. Don't worry about washing them.
You've got to lick the cake batter off first.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I do that.
Yeah, of course.
Wow.
That'll make it like they used to.
It still works.
That'll make it like they used to.
That's incredible.
Thank you, Broma.
And you'd always think about Nan, you know.
Oh, yeah.
She puts extra love into your baked goods.
Oh, she'd love it.
That's nice.
How many people have licked those things, though?
Olivia, on 131060, wrap us up here, Olivia.
What has stood the test of time?
My rollerblades that are in the garage that my husband keeps telling me to get rid of.
I miss it.
I miss it.
What was it?
That's all right, my rollerblades.
Oh, rollerblades.
Yes.
My husband keeps saying, get rid of these damn things.
No, I might still get into it.
And they were so expensive.
I bought them and I was like, no, I'm keeping them forever.
Now, forgive my ignorance.
Is Blades the four wheels in a row and then Roller Skates are the four,
like a two and two, like a quad bike?
Yes.
And mine had a rocker in the middle.
So the two middle wheels rocked back and forward. Yes.
So I could go and do tricks and things.
They were like $400 in the 90s, and I'm not letting those buggers go.
No way.
When was the last time you went for a blade?
Oh, I'm terrified I'm going to break a leg.
Yeah, you probably will.
Go have a blade.
Go live.
I don't know if that counts as standing the test of time.
She's not actually playing with them.
Jess and Ducko.
This idea came to me because I'm best man and an emcee
at my friend's wedding coming up in a couple of weeks.
And I'm writing the bios on the bridal party and one of them's single.
And so I made up her Tinder bio as the intro.
Oh, when you put this in our group chat,
hey guys, pretend you're single.
I don't have to pretend.
Yeah, he is.
Pretend you're single, write a Tinder.
I was like, what the hell is going on in your life?
I know you were mad at Morgan for not letting you do a hat party for the baby shower,
but after we'd really gone off the date.
She threw out a fridge magnet, Jess.
She was done.
So I thought, when I started writing, I was like, this is fun because I started Googling Tinder bios.
I've never had Tinder.
I've been in a relationship for longer than it's been around.
It's really difficult, though.
Looking at the Tinder bios, you sound like an idiot.
It's so lame the entire time.
A couple of sentences, and it's trying to encapsulate you,
trying to either get your personality out there, be a bit funny, do whatever,
and then someone swipes on you, obviously, if they like you and like what you've said.
Not everyone is in marketing.
No, it's tough.
I'm not naturally prone to marketing.
So trying to market yourself.
Oh, it's hard.
And I'm in the headspace of, all right, so Angus has died.
I'm obviously so depressed and sad. You've really taken this very genuinely. I was really trying to market yourself. Oh, it's hard. And I'm in the headspace of, all right, so Angus has died. I'm obviously so depressed and sad.
You've really taken this very genuinely.
I was really trying to get in there.
I just mean if we were just single, just, you know,
just a real opposite life.
Angus came home and I was just sobbing.
He's like, what's wrong?
I went, you're dead.
Don't go talking to me and pretend you're dead.
So we swapped each other's.
I'll read Jess's.
She'll read mine.
Shy Guy and Babs read each other's.
And then we're going to see if we'd swipe or see if it encapsulates a person.
Maybe we can give notes, particularly to Shy Guy.
Like, you know, you're lying or you're not selling yourself well enough.
Who wants to start?
That's a great question.
I think you guys have to start.
All right.
Would you like me to read Ducko's?
Sure, go for it.
Ducko, 33.
Can confirm, not lying about his age.
Just a small man who is a master of small talk.
Straight out the gates, a lot of people lie about their height.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's great.
That's honest, man.
I'm handy on long car trips and take up minimal space on plane rides.
Sit next to me.
The kind of guy who would watch sport with your dad and make dinner with your mum.
That's an all-rounder.
Mums do love you, but you can't cook.
You just throw everything in a slow cooker.
Yeah, but I just talk to her while she's doing it.
Fair.
Just an average six.
Looking for a four or more.
Together we can make a ten.
Bang!
Legit, but I hate truffle eggs.
I mean, and you know what I've done there?
What have you done there?
I've really made myself sound shorter than I am.
So when they go, he's funny, and then I see them, they go,
you're not that short, then they think I'm tall.
You've reversed catfished.
Because people will put a photo from 20 years earlier
or when they were 20 kilos lighter or lying about the age,
whereas you've kind of undersold to then blow them away in real life.
The issue is, are you going to get the swipe if you're underselling so much?
Well, they'll see my photo, so yes.
Oh, okay.
The piercing blue.
What do we think, guys?
Accurate buyer?
I like that.
I think that's a great buyer.
And I love that you've put, but I legit hate truffle.
I do hate truffle.
So anyone who is such a truffle aficionado, not going to waste their time.
And I thought, you know, watching sport with the dad, dinner with the mom, that's an all-rounder.
That's an all-rounder. Yeah, we like that. I love that. Now And I thought, you know, watching sport with the dad, dinner with the mum, that's an all-rounder. That's an all-rounder.
Yeah, we like that.
I love that.
Now, I've sent you mine.
Yeah, yours is very long.
It's a bit longer than yours.
It's a book.
I'm depressed.
I've lost my husband.
I'm coming back onto the scene.
Okay, Tinder buy for Jess.
I'm a vivacious Aries looking for a strong earth sign,
in brackets, jog on Pisces.
Automatically, I'm not swiping.
To keep me grounded and balanced and eat a shit ton of Italian food with, if you believe
alternate, oh, sorry, eat Italian food with.
If you believe alternate drop is the superior way to serve food at a wedding or a formal
event, we are not going to get along.
See, that eliminates a lot of people straight away.
That's what eliminates them.
Yeah, I think people are gone.
If this hadn't gotten you out this will, listen to this.
My moon ascending is also Aries, which means I cannot bear boredom
and I'm prone to eczema.
All right, mate, I'm out of here.
It's actually in the horoscope.
That moon ascending will give you dermatitis.
It's written in the stars.
Look it up in brackets.
I really like having one fancy glass of wine out
and then I come home for a reasonable hour.
I'm definitely a morning person looking for a serious relationship,
someone to go to the farmer's markets with on a Sunday morning
and share a pretzel.
That's nothing sadder.
But ideally, you'd get your own and I would get my own.
Are you swiping?
I feel like the app won't actually let you write that many words in that section.
It won't.
It was like four paragraphs.
Did it count like 200 characters or something?
I said two to three sentences.
Maybe I need to be on Hinge because on Hinge you can do the voice memos and I could get
that all out.
Do we reckon it captures her, guys?
Yes.
At least I was honest.
My thing is, I don't want to just throw the line out and get anything.
You want a specific person.
I want a specific person.
I don't know if you're going to find that fish, though.
All right, good guy.
I know, because that fish died in Angus, you know.
Yes.
All right, shy guy, read Babs's.
All right, here's Babs's.
23, music lover, reader, clumsy, and do cry a bit.
Is that it?
No.
Could be coerced with GYG.
Also, bonus points if you pay for said GYG.
Want to travel but need to make money first,
so ultimately something you could look forward to,
usually pretty hungry.
I reckon that sums Babs up pretty well.
She's a lady of few.
I feel like you captured just as much as me in so many letters.
And there was nothing about moons descending there. All Babs said was, I'm like you captured just as much as me in so many letters. And there was nothing about moons ascending there.
All Babs said was, I'm hungry, feed me.
Yeah, yeah, and I like Guzman.
Basically.
And I cry.
I appreciated she sort of lured them in with,
in the future, once I make some money, we could travel together.
Not right now, but stick around.
Somewhere else.
And we'll go to Cancun one day.
Good, I like it.
Thanks.
Babs, you got show, guys?
That took a lot of inspo from the day. Good. I like it. Thanks. Babs, you got show guys? Yeah.
That's a lot of inspo from the show.
The only actual single on the team.
Yes.
So if anyone needs proper feedback.
Here we go.
It's the guy.
All right.
He said, radio guy and lover of long drives in search of a co-pilot.
Oh.
We can hit the beach, but please let's not get in the water.
Automatically.
Suntan.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I also love a night in with a sitcom and takeaway.
Both of your choosing.
I don't care.
It's fine.
Is that it?
I'd tell more about myself, but I'm bad at describing things.
Don't overthink it.
Swipe right.
That's pretty good.
That is very good.
If the lady rice cookers weren't already lining up.
Don't overthink it.
It's funny how all our brains went.
And he's put really the impetus on the lady.
You can choose the sitcom. You can choose the takeaway.
You go to the beach, just don't get in the water.
You're psycho.
Just lay in the sand. That's the best part.
Yeah. Okay.
Are we swiping on each other, guys?
I'm going to obviously only get a certain one or two person.
That's all I need.
I'm looking for a serious relationship.
I only need one.
You're looking for a solo pretzel lover whose moon's ascending.
I like, you talked about your good on car trips and Shy Guy likes road trips.
We should go together, Shy Guy.
You should swipe on each other, definitely.
And you and Babs like crying in star signs.
Yeah, do you want to come to the pretzel place? Yeah, it's a farmer's market. You should. We should go together, Chaga. You should swipe on each other, definitely. And New York Babs like crying and star signs. Yeah, do you want to come to the pretzel place?
Yeah, it's a farmer's market.
Sounds good.
Jess and Ducko.
Really quickly, though, I thought this was very interesting.
You'll never guess the most popular Aussie care package snack.
Aussies living abroad requesting treats and, you know,
reminders of back home.
My cousin lives in London.
Okay.
What do they always request?
Always wants Tim Tams and always wants Red Rock Deli chips.
Okay.
Can't get them over there.
You've got to send them a care package.
Shipping company Pack and Send have revealed this data.
They're the ones handling a lot of these packages.
Yeah.
Coming in at number 10, Burger Rings.
We'll work up from there.
I love Burger Rings.
So do I.
Anzac Biscuits.
Meat pies are in there, which feels hard to send over.
But obviously, Pack and Send can do frozen goods.
We've talked about how hard it is to transport party pies on this show.
Pack and Send are the experts.
Violet Crumble.
Love this at number six.
Pashiona.
What?
Aussies abroad want Pashiona, they can't get it overseas
That's such a weird thing to want
Lamingtons coming in at number five
Cherry ripe cheesels
Tim Tams is number two, Ducco
Okay
Coming in at number one of the most popular Aussie snack
According to new research
Chico rolls
Wait a minute.
The humble Chico Roll.
Aussies living overseas want their family, their friends to send them or bring, if you're going to visit.
What's in a Chico Roll? Chico Roll.
Okay.
Cabbage, barley, beef, and they're deep fried.
How are you transporting that?
How's that going to taste good when it gets there?
I have no idea.
And they're deep fried.
The best Chico Roll is fresh out of the fryer from the takeaway shop.
From that random takeaway shop where there's a cockroach in the corner somewhere. Not where you've got to slip under your door.
Got to go to the post office. I'll be able to get there in two weeks. I'll go get it. Oh, the Chico
Roll's been sitting at the post office. But apparently the number one thing that
Aussies want when they're living abroad. A Chico Roll. Chico Roll. So don't worry
about your burger rings and your Tim Tams.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chuck a Chico Roll.
What does that mean, a Chico Roll?
I can't believe Vegemite wasn't in the top 10.
That's weird.
It's weird.
Maybe you can get it overseas?
I don't know.
Or it's easy to order.
It's easy to order, maybe.
Yeah, I'm not sure.
There you go.
Chico Roll.

How good is that?

Jess and Ducko's 10K Alphabucks on here.
Yeah, it is time.
We're ready to give this money away.
Haven't done it yet this year for 2025.
Would like to do it now.
All that stands in your way is 30 seconds to answer 10 questions,
all starting with the same letter.
Have to take your first answer.
You can't use the same answer twice.
And if you're untrue to the question, just say pass.
We'll come back to you, of course, if there is time.
They're the rules.
We're playing for 10K.
Samantha, will you win?
Hello.
Hello.
Are you going to win?
I would love to win.
Okay.
No, no, that's not what he asked.

What do you want to spend the money on?
New teeth.
New teeth?
What are we getting?
Oh, look, I would like a whole set of new teeth.
Veneers.
Veneers.
Yeah.
Very expensive.
We've got some good friends who are in the dental world.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, nice.
They ain't cheap.
Oh, yeah, they're not cheap at all.
No, they're not.
So let's get you $10,000 and a bloody new smile.
Oh, yeah.
Samantha, it's a solid letter for you today.
You're going to work with H.
Okay.
I don't know any dental adjacent words. No, but horses have great teeth. You're going to work with H. Okay. I don't know any dental adjacent words.
Horses have great teeth.
You're absolutely right.
Horses have great teeth.
Miss Red, one of the great smiles.
Such good smiles.
You could have a mouth like a horse, Sam.
Oh, I would love a mouth like a horse.
Okay.
Ducko will feed you apples from his open pocket.
With those veneers, you'll be able to chew anything, genuinely.
I love it.
Ooh, nice salt lick in the corner.
Get some molasses.
I know horse things.
Samantha.
Hey, are you ready?
Yes, I am.
Good girl.

If we didn't have a timer.
We were going with the no pass strategy, which I found interesting.
It was just a... We ate up a bit of time. We chewed with the no pass strategy, which I found interesting.
It ate up a bit of time.
We chewed up a clock just to find it if you got it.
Yep.
Look, I gave you six pending seven on the office item.
The office item was the only grey area.
Handheld device.
Handheld device.
We can give it to you for the sake of having a good time for a Friday,
which would mean you got yourself seven.
A job could have been hairdresser, head chef. Oh, of course.
Housekeeper, head hunter, you know.
You don't go empty-handed, though.
You do get yourself $100 to spend online at TVSN where beauty begins.
Thank you so much.
I don't know if they sell teeth.
I don't think they sell teeth.
But they might sell other things that you like.
I'll become a horse another day.
We'll get you there.
We're going to get you to be that horse, Samantha.
Absolutely.
You know.
Give us your best horse, Ducco.
Very nice.
Thank you so much.
I should have asked the guy in the tongue like.
Oh, we laugh, Samantha.
Oh, how we chuckle, Sam.
Have a great weekend.
You too.
Thank you.
Thanks, Sam.
What a delight.
What a delight.
We do play again 6.30 and 8.
God, we've had some delightful cookers play Alpha Bucks.
Yeah, we have some very polite, nice people.
You know sometimes people get two and then they blame us
and they get all cranky. Or the minute they're all fun
and chatty and they don't win and they're like, oh, we're going now.
Hang on. Don't hang up on us before we go
through the learnings. Come on, we're to learn together.
We're going to need you to
get a little grim, but it's a safe space.
Yeah, why not get grim? We go to
Charguys Living Room. get a little grim. Yeah. But it's a safe space. Why not get grim? We go to Char Guys living room.
Sounds like Babs's living room.
Don't deflect.
Come on, man.
Let the joke sit.
131060.
Yeah.
Have you thought
recently, can't get
much worse than this?
Oh, yeah.
Maybe it was a sign
from the universe.
Just kept pushing
you down.
Oh, Babs with
her fleas, maybe. Can't get much worse than this. Oh, she does have it was a sign from the universe. Yeah. Just kept pushing you down. Yeah. Oh, bad with their fleas, maybe.
Yeah.
Can't get much worse than this.
Oh, she does have fleas.
My husband came home yesterday, Ducko, in a state.
I want to put it out there.
Hmm.
He's given me permission.
Great.
He often will come home.
Yeah, he is involved in some venues, some pubs and clubs, and sometimes that involves
a lot of office time, sending emails and, you know, hoity-toity stuff.
And other times he's got to get his hands dirty.
And yesterday was one of the dirty days.
And he's come home and you could just tell, oh, it's been a tough one.
My sweetheart, do you need a glass of wine?
He goes, oh, it wasn't a great day.
There I am in one of the venues.
It's not doing too well, okay?
This particular venue is hemorrhaging a bit.
You know, the climate's changed.
People have gone out and about.
And he was just feeling a bit, ugh, air con doesn't work in this venue, Ducker.
It was a hot, muggy day yesterday.
And he's sitting there stringing fairy lights.
And he goes, here I am, and I'm noticing all these fairy lights.
The bulbs are gone, and I'm having to readjust.
It's a fiddly, annoying task.
They're always tangled.
They're always tangled.
And he's going, this venue doesn't even make money.
It's just now problem after problem after problem,
and now one of the most annoying problems of tangled fairy lights,
half of them are busted.
He goes, but it couldn't get much worse when I'm sitting there,
dripping with sweat, hunched over, trying to work on this task.
And I feel the sweat, his words, drip from the underside of my titty and hit me gut.
And he's alone in this venue and he goes, probably should go to the gym.
I'm hot.
I'm bothered.
And he's got man boobs.
He's now got man boobs dripping onto his dad gut.
Makes him think about his posture.
You know, he's got a bad back.
He goes, I'm probably hunching.
If I wasn't hunching so much, it wouldn't have hit the way it hit, the ankle.
Did he just drop his guts as well?
He goes, I just in that moment went, what am I doing?
I did not get a degree for this. This is what I worked hard for. What I've worked moment went, what am I doing?
I did not get a degree for this. This is what I worked hard for.
This is what I've worked hard for, what I slog for.
I'm texting him being like, your daughter.
You know, she had a bad day herself.
So I text to make sure he knows what I'm up against,
not knowing what he's up against.
And he goes, it can't get much worse than this.
I went, let me pour you a nice glass of Chardonnay.
Let's put the day behind us.
Oh, no.
So he really needs to go to the gym is what I'm getting at in this story.
He needs to sit up straighter is what I took out of it.
Sit up straighter.
If you sit up straighter.
Sweat dripping down the titty when you don't have double Ds.
And you can't put the air con on, you know?
Get a Zupa Dupa into you or something.
Bring that body temperature down.
He goes, it was low.
Oh, that's a low point.
It was a low point.
Yeah, yeah, that is a low point.
And no one's probably going to appreciate the fairy lights.
No one walks into a venue and goes, wow, the fairy lights are magical.
But if they weren't working, they would.
They'd go, they look tacky.
100%.
Now they're working.
That's just all normal.
They're not going to go, I'm sure a man with boob sweat dripping onto his belly put those up.
Slogged away in 36 degree heat without the air cons on.
It doesn't get much worse.
Poor thing.
I felt so bad for him.
Can I offer you a fun one about my sister?
Please.
From a couple of years ago.
Please.
She's thought it can't get much worse than this.
After the commercial radio,
she used to work in the radio industry.
This is some years ago.
It was in Melbourne and we were on the same flight.
It was a Jetstar flight.
So naturally it was going to have issues.
And we flew from Melbourne. We were trying to fly from Melbourne back to Brisbane, but It was a Jetstar flight, so naturally it was going to have issues. And we flew from Melbourne.
We were trying to fly from Melbourne back to Brisbane,
but there was a massive storm in Brisbane.
So we had to get diverted to Townsville, right?
So we flew from Melbourne.
Part of my geography.
You've got to go over.
You overshot Brisbane.
Yeah.
That's so annoying.
So they had to land somewhere and they couldn't land somewhere.
You've got to keep going.
So we had to go to Townsville, land in Townsville.
We sat on the tarmac in Townsville with just the doors open,
just waiting while they were refueling.
You couldn't disembark?
No, couldn't disembark.
And they couldn't give us any food because they didn't have any.
We were hungover as all hell.
But the night before, it's sad, we laugh about it now,
but the night before, her boyfriend, who was there with her at the radio awards,
he'd cheated on her.
He'd cheated on her.
And then he'd left that morning.
She'd found out.
He'd left that morning. So he'd left her morning. She'd found out he'd left that morning.
So he'd left her.
She slept in my room because she was so upset.
So she slept in my room.
I was already sleeping in my mate's room.
So we were sharing a bed.
And then we left.
Where was the mate?
He was in the other bed.
Then the plane got diverted to Townsville.
And I remember looking at her while I had the vomit bag because I was so hungover.
And I looked over at her and I said, Laura, life doesn't get much worse than this.
And she was crying.
That was a low blow.
Hungover, cheated on and stranded.
And I had no advice except for this sucks.
This sucks.
And we were on that plane for three hours on that tarmac before we could fly back to Brisbane.
Sometimes that's all you can do.
You revel in how it sucks.
And you know what that means? The sun will rise again. to Brisbane. Sometimes that's all you can do. You revel in how it sucks.
And you know what that means?
The sun will rise again.
It will get better.
We'll get up tomorrow.
And when I get through this, it'll be okay.
Even the darkest hour is only an hour. Is this the sister that's now engaged?
Yeah, she's engaged.
See?
She's all good.
Can't get much worse than that.
Yeah, the guy was a douchebag anyway, so we're all fine.
We're all fine.
Yes. I think Angus has said, I'll be going to the 4.30 session.
13, 10, 60.
Can't get much worse than this.
We'll do it.
Next.
Jess and Ducko.
Jess and Ducko.
It can't get much worse than being sweet, Gussie.
My husband came home yesterday.
It was a tough one, Ducko.
It was a tough one.
Came home.
I said, what happened today?
He goes, oh, I found myself sitting in one of the venues that he manages,
stringing fairy lights for a place that is not really contributing much
to the portfolio, let's say.
And he just felt like, what am I doing this menial task?
He's stringing fairy lights that are all busted.
But he goes, it got to a real low point? His string and fairy lights, they were all busted. Yeah.
But he got to a real low point because there was no air con on.
Yeah.
It was busted.
Or maybe he was like, I can't turn it on because it's wasting money just for me.
There was something with the air con.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hunched over and he felt beads of sweat drip from the underside of his boobies onto his gut.
Get in my belly!
And the guy's been working really hard.
He's gone back to the gym and he just in that moment felt so low and sticky and down.
Down, yeah.
I mean, that is, it's a place you don't want to feel sweat dripping to.
No!
No.
You don't want to use boob and gut and sweat in the same sentence.
No, you don't.
On a random Thursday. I like the idea that he's by himself and then your text comes in and you're getting angry about
something that his daughter's done. He just starts crying to himself
and then his tears are dripping down his tits,
which is dripping down to his boobs. I had to pick Lucha
out from daycare and oh my god, she was on one.
So I was like, I guess this is awful.
He's like, yeah, she screamed for 20 minutes when
I dropped her off. You have it, the easy part.
I went, oh, sorry. He's then eating
drumsticks.
He's a magnum man. Yeah, sorry. He's then eating drumsticks. He's a magnum man.
Yeah, sorry.
He's eating magnum.
Heather on 131060.
I want it on the record as well.
He gave me permission to tell that story, okay?
People come for me a lot.
God, your husband.
He said I could.
They know what they signed up to.
They do.
Heather, hello.
Yes, hello.
Hi.
When have you thought, can I get much worse than this?
We moved back from Canada two years ago.
We sold our vehicle to a dealership there,
and the license plates were meant to go off with the person
and returned back to the RTA.
But they said that they would do that.
They returned the license plates.
They, in fact, put it on another vehicle.
That vehicle was in a car accident
and the other driver injured sued the driver at cause
and my husband for $2.1 million.
Oh, my God, because you were still linked to the rego?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
That must have been a nightmare.
Did you get a knock on the door or the paperwork served to you?
No, because we were in Australia.
Oh.
We weren't even there at the time of the accident.
So what happened?
Did you get deported back to Canada to front the court?
Yeah.
No, no.
We just told them we had to plead our case.
It's been a year now.
Yeah, it's not us.
And they finally let him go yesterday.
Oh, wow. Jeez. Okay. That they finally let him go yesterday. Oh, wow.
Jeez.
Okay.
That puts boob sweat into perspective.
At least he wasn't sued for 2.1 from the other side of the world.
That's a rough letter to read.
Wow.
We need you free fuel for your Friday there as well, Heather, for getting involved.
Oh, that's nice.
We go to Nadia on 131060.
Nadia, it can't get much worse than this.
No, it cannot.
We were driving from about two years ago, and we have three kids,
and my husband was driving, and I could hear my youngest daughter start to throw up,
so I twisted around in the passenger seat, two hands cupping the vomit,
and my husband pulled over and got out of the car and started spewing.
So I had a little bit of contortionist get out of the car on my own handful of spew.
And then we had to drive the rest of the way with the windows down because we had nothing
to get rid of the spew.
And my hand sank for two days.
I'm not sure it can get worse than that.
Oh my God.
Catching vomit ever.
Like that is just a lie.
I've been ever vomiting because you're vomiting.
And just, oh, yuck.
You're getting free fuel, Nadia.
Enjoy that one.
Enjoy that. Give me this car trip.
Very welcome.
Holy moly.
Let's go to Cade.
Good morning, Cade.
Good morning.
Legend, how old are you?
11.
Okay.
So that feels young to me, Cade, but you've still had a moment.
Prime age for issues, though.
I can't get much worse than this in my young life.
Yeah.
So I woke up this morning and I haven't been able to find my undies.
So now we're on the way to school and I'm free-balling.
Did mum just say, I've had enough, Kate?
Get in the car, Kate.
Kate, what if you get dacked at school today by some of your friends?
I mean, it would be embarrassing, but...
Can't get much worse than that.
Can't get much worse than that.
I love that.
Sorry, Kate, do you only own one pair of undies?
Can't find them.
Where are the rest?
His favourite Spider-Man undies.
Wearing myself, most of them.
What did you say?
Wearing himself, I'm not sure. did you say? He's wearing himself.
I'm not sure.
Okay.
Hey, Cade.
You're going to give me free fuel?
Let's give Cade free undies.
Okay, you've got the knob.
You've still got that undies ambassadorship.
Nah, don't brush me.
Jess and Ducko.
Diary time.
That's right.
You've had a great week.
You must have had a lot to write down.
Yeah, good one. Team. It's always about the team. It's never about us. Yeah, nice. That's right. You've had a great week. You must have had a lot to write down. Yeah, good one.
Team.
It's always about the team.
It's never about us.
Yeah, nice.
Here it is.
Well, what a week it's been with Jess and Ducko.
There was a lot of confusion about time zones
and their importance in this great country of ours.
Tick, tick, tock.
Who made this up?
It's such a human construct.
The clock, who decided?
Yes, the clock will go from 1 to 12 twice over in a day.
Yeah, and then there'll be this many days in this month
and this many in this month.
Yes.
But not in that month.
Yes.
Yeah.
It's really upsetting.
Babs is out there just shaking her head.
Oh, sorry, just smarty pants over there.
All right, then.
Throwing shade at us.
Do you know the answers?
You explain time to us.
Leave me alone. It's 6.04. Throwing shade at us. Do you know the answers? You explain time to us. Leave me alone.
It's 6.04.
Stop bringing up the time.
Ducco and Morgan are setting up their baby's room,
which has given Morgan a licence to get him to toss out things
he didn't know he had.
We've got a child coming in April and we need more space
and we're running out of space.
So to create space, we had to clear out our
shed, empty things, throw things out
and then it was... That's called nesting.
Yeah, we're finally nesting and I don't like it.
I don't like it at all.
Morgan's making me get rid of my toys.
Literally, the amount...
You know, she got all my hats and she threw
some out and I was like, not my hats, Morgan.
Don't take the hats. I have four hat drawers.
I was like, that is a bit excessive.
I've seen you in two hats. Morgan. Don't take the hats. I have four hat drawers. I was like, that is a bit excessive. Jesus.
I've seen you in two hats.
Where are you wearing all these hats?
I said, we should theme our baby shower hat party.
How fun is that?
Everyone can wear a hat.
What's that got to do with the baby?
Nothing.
Everyone has a hat.
It's a simple theme.
And Morgan's like, no, ducko.
You know how...
You want to have any fun?
Our child's going to hate you.
I hate you.
We got stuck in a bit of an infinite loop
talking about the different classifications of animals.
But apparently insects are part of the groups of animals
known as arthropods.
There you go.
So, I mean, we're all learning on the show, guys.
Not to just get confusing the thing,
do we consider fish animals as well then?
I guess we're going to have to.
And are birds animals as well?
Yeah, birds are animals.
But I thought birds were birds.
Like, I thought insects were insects, birds were birds. And are birds animals as well? Yeah, birds are animals. But I thought birds were birds. I thought insects were insects, birds were birds.
But a bird's an animal.
Fish were fish.
That's like saying a cat's a cat.
Yeah, but a cat's an animal.
But a bird's a bird.
Why's a bird different?
Because it's got wings.
Yeah.
I thought they were their own kettle of fish.
No, birds are an animal.
Kettle of birds, if you will.
I thought the insect was like an ant.
It was an insect.
Yeah.
You know?
Like a snake's a reptile.
But that, you know.
What is that? Is that an animal? I guess it's an animal. I guess everything's an animal. Is everything just an animal? Technically, was like an ant. It was an insect. Yeah. You know? Like a snake's a reptile, but that, you know. What is that?
Is this an animal?
I guess it's an animal.
I guess everything's an animal.
Is everything just an animal?
Technically, I'm an animal.
You're an animal.
Oh, wow.
Jess took Lucia to her first ballet class
and almost immediately became the stage mum she never thought she would.
So I literally dumped Lucia in there.
We knew a couple of little girls who were a bit older,
but I dumped her in and just walked out.
Nerve-wracking for her.
It turns out, yeah.
Yeah, I was going to say.
I mean, I'm no expert yet.
I think my kid is shy, and it's really not going to suit me.
Because I dumped her.
It's not going to suit me. I dumped her in. I's not going to suit me.
I dumped her in.
I think this little thing that, where, can I take this back?
Where do I get another one of these?
I put her in the room and it's my own fault
because I was like, why didn't she just take to that?
So I've just plonked her in this room,
walked out and stood at the window.
Yeah.
She got straight up and walked out to find me
and I went, no, no, sis.
Sweetie.
Pushed her.
Oh, no. My heart breaks with this. Pushed her. Oh, no.
My heart breaks with this little nutcracker.
Well, that's it for this week.
And remember, you'll never forget the name of your favourite primary school teacher.
Good math.
Thank you.
Good maffin' around.
Mrs. Kett in year three.
She really sat me down.
Her name was Mrs. Kett.
What's wrong with Mrs. Kett?
The K-hole.
Oh, no.
She was a sweet teacher. Oh, I Oh, no. She was a sweet teacher.
Oh, I bet she was.
She was a sweet teacher and she sat with...
Hey, Mrs. K.
I was bad at math.
Was she popular?
She was.
Oh, she was popular.
She was popular.
I was in year three.
I'd say she was popular before Ket was.
She was primary school.
Mrs. K.
She couldn't get me to do analogue clocks.
You've never once thought about Mrs. Kett again and gone...
I always think about Mrs. Kett when I do maths well.
I bet you do.
Every weekend you're thinking about Mrs. Kett.
See you next week, Rice Cookers.
Jess and Ducko.
Corner Fin!
Corner Fin!
Corner Fin!
Win the prize!
I thought there was just one this week. It was five. Five a day. I mean, one a day. Five of them total. I'll fake all the fame with no price.
It wasn't just one this week, it was five.
Five a day.
I mean, one a day, five of them total.
It's not been a great week for our brains.
No, I'm tired.
Showing that we're smart.
But that's all right.
It was one a day.
Billie Eilish tickets plus accommodation at the beautiful Park Royal Darling Harbour in Sydney.
You just had to get involved in the show.
Anytime. And we thank everyone for their wonderful contributions
right across the week.
Today, obviously, especially.
Some honourable mentions, but we'll get straight down to business.
Let's get down to it.
We asked about an hour ago,
have you ever thought,
I can't get much worse than this?
Yeah.
Hubby had a very bad day, very tough day yesterday,
and I thought, you're not the only one.
Yeah.
I'll take it to the rice cookers.
Maybe they'll make you feel better.
Yeah.
And even though he had sweat dripping from the underside of his man boob to hit his gut,
sitting in a hot box of a venue that makes them no money and just is much more work than
it should be.
While he was doing stuff with fairy lights and all things.
I feel like Nadia's contribution will make Gussie feel a lot better.
We were driving two years ago and we have three kids
and my husband was driving
and I could hear my youngest daughter start to throw up
so I twisted around in the passenger seat,
two hands cupping the vomit,
and my husband pulled over and got out of the car
and started spewing.
So I made a little bit of contortionist get out of the car
on my own handful of spew and then we had to drive the rest of the way with the windows down because we hadortionist get out of the car on my own handful of spew
and then we had to drive the rest of the way with the windows down
because we had nothing to get rid of the spew.
And my hand sank for two days.
I'm not sure it can get worse than that.
Oh, my God.
Catching vomit ever.
Like that is just a lie.
Vomiting because you're vomiting.
It's just, oh, yuck.
The youngest child vomiting, the husband going off,
the stinky hand has won Nadia a double pass to Billy.
Oh, my God.
Thank you so much.
That's so exciting.
It is exciting.
Yeah.
Thank you, kid, for vomiting.
You're off to Billy Irish.
I don't know that I'd go that far.
Fair enough.
Thanks for getting involved in the show, Nadia.
Have a great time at the concert.
Thank you so much. You have a great weekend. You too. Hey, just like in the show, Nadia. Have a great time at the concert. Thank you so much.
You too.
Have a great weekend.
You too.
Hey, just like that, it is the weekend, T.
Here we are.
Oh, it's good to be here.
Hello, old friend.
I've missed you.
You've been a long time coming.
Long time coming.
It's been a big week.
Let's rest and recharge.
Well, I'm not recharging tonight.
Pray for me, Shargai and Babson.
Bring the ute.
I'm going to Jess's house to load my ute with baby clothes.
Oh, yeah.
And a bassinet.
And a bassinet, obviously.
It's very kind.
So I tagged you and Morgan in the three tonne of clothes,
and I had a lot of responses.
Yeah.
Just to be myself.
A lot of responses.
Every new parent needs a friend like you, Jess.
And I was like, I wonder if Ducko sees it that way
when I'm about to dump.
Here you go. Bye. Don't want it back. You know what I also want you to sees it that way when I'm about to dump. Here you go.
Bye.
Don't want it back.
You know what I also want you to know?
Yeah.
Washed a lot of it.
Oh, great.
I'm hoping you did.
Yeah, I really, I presume you did.
Because to be fair, I would go through her drawers.
I'd be like, she can't fit this anymore and just chuck it in a pile.
Right.
So some of it I think was still a bit, oh, I should have washed that first.
So I've gone through it all.
Okay.
Put it through a wash.
It's ready for you.
Question, do you want them back?
Like, are we giving it back and going third hand?
My dad texts me when I put that photo up and said,
hey Jess, just seeing the nice thing you want to do for Ducko.
What about if you have a second child and it is a girl?
Won't you want that back?
And I'm like, that might be a year between drinks, maybe more.
Yeah, maybe more.
I'm still oscillating between whether I want more.
Yeah, fair enough.
She's in a real handful stage.
I can't fathom having a new one.
So I've taken out three things that hold sentimental value.
Okay, that's good.
Maybe.
Maybe, okay.
My thing is, once your daughter outgrows them, what are you going to do with them?
Maybe I'll then be due.
Drop them back off.
Yeah, actually, I probably won't want to keep them.
I won't have the space.
I'll give them to Shaga or something.
100% like space.
As we know, space with a baby in the house is at a prime real estate.
Oh, yeah.
So by all means, you can give it back.
If I have an inkling, hey, give me that pink thing back.
Maybe give me the pink thing back.
Yeah, sure.
Okay.
We'll suss it out tonight.
We'll suss it out.
Hopefully I don't take all three tons worth of clothes that we'll see.
We are a big reduce, reuse, recycle people. Hell yeah. So I don't want you to put it in landfill. You can keep your reusable nappies, okay. We'll suss it out tonight. We'll suss it out. Hopefully I don't take all three tonnes worth of clothes that we'll see. We are a big reduce, reuse, recycle people.
Hell yeah.
So I don't want you to put it in landfill.
You can keep your reusable nappies, though.
You can have those.
I put some reusable swim nappies in there.
Oh, good.
Then that's good.
You want to try the reusable?
So Lucia's shatter nose, and I'm going to give them to my child.
Feels wrong.
Wash them.
I know, it still feels wrong.
Wash them.
Yeah.
She's pooed in a lot of it.
That's so trashy.
I was just thinking that. Why do you think I put them through the wash again? Hot wash, man. Wash them. Yeah. She's pooed in a lot of it. That's so trashy. I was just thinking that.
I think I put them through the wash again.
Hot wash, man.
Hot wash.
Anyway, wash this space.
Wash this space.
Well, maybe we'll get a little video up on Jess and Duck.
Are you picking through the assortment and then leaving with two things?
I'm going to need a few bottles of red wine tonight, I reckon.
I'll get a nice wine for you.
Don't worry.
We're out of here.
We are back next week.
We've got tickets to see Kylie Minogue next week.
That's right.
And some spending money. Yes. It's going to be great. We've got Al here. We are back next week. We've got tickets to see Kylie Minogue next week. That's right. Plus cash. And some spending money.
Yes.
It's going to be great.
We've got Alphabox for $10,000.
And with Valentine's Day next week, we're doing something fun with Alphabonks.
You can play with your beloved.
Yep.
We're going to allow two people on the phone at the same time to try and get through the
10 questions in 30 seconds.
It's Alphabonks Couples.
It's Alphabonks Couples.
You do need to register, though.
Hit.com.au. Spend some time. Come up with a strategy, maybe. Oh's Alpha Bucks Couples. It's Alpha Bucks Couples. You do need to register, though. Hit.com.au.
Spend some time.
Come up with a strategy, maybe.
Oh, yeah.
Practice.
Yeah.
Practice with your partner.
Yeah.
There's nothing better than when one of the partners mucks it up and the other one gets
angry.
Because we've still got to take the first answer.
We do.
So, you know.
And they're on separate phones, okay?
So, we'll be on at the same time, but on separate phones.
That's right.
So, if Donna comes in first with the wrong answer, I'm sorry, Jeremy, but you've got
to lock in hers.
Unlucky, Jay.
Unlucky.
Nothing you can do about it. Anyway, we're out of here. Enjoy your weekends. We, but you ought to lock in hers. Unlucky, Jay. Unlucky. Nothing you can do about it.
Anyway, we're out of here. Enjoy your weekends. We'll see you
Monday. Bye-bye.
