Welcome to the podcast. Sorry, it's coming out of the wrong hotkey. Coming out of two there, Shilard. Welcome to the podcast. Make a note. 9-03, I'll tell you. Yeah, it actually happened in the show at the end too. Sorry, I forgot to tell you.

I told you Ducko I wanted the top of the pod Just to share with you how good our community is The rice cookers man, they'd be cook them We got a DM earlier this week from Evie She said hey Jess and Ducko I would love to send you a video Of my family's interpretation Of you and Ducko doing the Alpha Bucks challenge

Between me and my partner Me and the son listen every morning And we tested Dad I said Evie I would love to see Your interpretation of I guess one of them playing me, one of them playing you. There's a contestant in there. I haven't watched this.

It is a video, but obviously we're audio here. So I've given the video to Shiger. It does go for about three minutes. So you've chopped it up a bit. So the first bit that we'll play now is just them setting it up. So the bit after the opener before we play the game. All right. This is Evian.

Good morning. It's quarter past eight here. A bit late on the after bus. So what I'm going to do here this morning is for $10,000 you're going to have a letter you're going to have 30 seconds and you've got to answer 10 questions

all have to start with the same letter and you can't repeat the same answer on the line today we've got Michael Good day how are you guys Yeah good yourself Yeah not too bad thanks cause

I'm back on Yeah wonderful I'm just wondering What are you going to spend a 10 brand on Oh look Christmas is coming up and, you know, the nieces and nephews need some pros and so, yeah, probably wars out of course.

No worries, that seems to be a common answer on our show. They nail the nuances of we're running late. You're asking for the same fucking things. And I want to note, Evie does in the video have a laptop in front of her. I don't think she's reading the rules. Like, that's just from her memory. You think the rules better than Shy Guy. She did it really well.

That's so funny. And then what's the next part, Shy Guy? They're playing the game. Sorry, is this her boyfriend, did you say it? I don't know. No, it's her partner. Her partner, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Great, okay.

So he's the contestant. There's a little boy in the video. I don't know if he, we'll see if he contributes here. Okay. Beginning with the letter T, can you name a boy's name? Tom's. A type of fruit. Tomato.

Something you wear. Tights. A movie title. Tartic. An animal. Tiger. Something fun in the kitchen. India

A country Tunisia A colour Turquoise A sport 10s Something you can buy at the supermarket Tomatoes

So she actually sent then a follow-up message Saying then a follow-up message Saying oh hang on a minute Watching it back He said tomato twice I stripped him of the $10,000 I didn't win it But then went on to say

Lucky we had a $100 dollar voucher To Birkenstock To give him Which is what we were giving away last week. Never. That was the first DM to say, we want to send you a video of us playing the game. We love the game. We love you guys.

That's so funny. Worth a shout out. Thanks so much. That's really good. We love to see it. I love the idea of people play it in the car around the dinner table. Or yeah, like pretend to be us and actually play it in most of their families. We're 15 minutes late.

We're 15 minutes late. It's funny. They always say they play at 7 and 8. They really play around 17. 10 and 8.50. Yeah, yeah, so good. Oh, so good on those guys. That was funny.

Let's get more of those in. If you've got more, you want to do them, we'll send them in. Do you see a lot of people play in the car and, like, film themselves? And not even tag us sometimes. It's just kind of showing off that they're good of the game. They would have won the 10 grand. I love to see it. It's so funny.

It's great. So, well done. We should have played that on air, actually. That was cool. Just the set up, not the game. And I just love, that's the energy we need. Sometimes we get people, and Babs, you could probably attest to this. when you talk to the people who want to play,

they're upbeat, they're excited, they're certainly not on speaker, but as soon as they get across to us, it almost goes out the window. I know. They get really nervous, they get really short answers, and they put us on speaker.

I know, and it's so frustrating because then it makes me look bad. I'm like, I know you did that, guys. Yeah, your quality's out the window. We got, uh, babs. It's not me. Yeah, I know. I get it, you know?

You can't trust people. No, you can't. They're going to pivot. We make people nervous, Tucker. Yeah, we do. They feel more confident if they're on speaker. It's a hard game, you know?

It's a tough game when you hear that timer. And we ask them how they are. No one ever asks how we are. That's fine. Don't bore us get to the chorus. Let's play the game. Some people do it. Then it is annoying.

I'm like, I'm good. How are you? You're like, hey, guys, how are you? When we do calls? Yeah, that's true. Like Julie, good morning. What's your buddy? What did you survive?

She's like, hey, guys, how are you? When I used to be a prize pig and I would call radio stations back in my youth, I remember a few producers of a show I used to always bug saying, don't ask them how they are. Go straight into your story. I remember that as a producer. Sorry, being on the rest of the end. Yeah, you don't tell people that, but, but, you don't tell people that, but, you're not mean.

You're not mean. Sometimes. I didn't cut a lady off today, though, and I felt bad. Sometimes you've got to do what you've got to get through. That was funny. She just kept going and going. Did you even, did she even make it to air? No.

An insight, hey? Yeah. A real insight. Life of a producer. Yeah. Oh, there she is. Hey, what did you think of the new Sabrina song? We played in breakfast tonight.

Oh, shit. Yeah. It was average, wasn't it? It was boring. It was quite boring. It was quite dull. I really think she peaked with espresso. I haven't really enjoyed the rest of him with me.

The rest. Yeah, I know. She's no Olivia Dean, you know what I mean? So true. Oh. What did you say yesterday? Out in the office. Oh, here we go.

What did I say? She's got a whole album out. Can we play more than just one song? Oh, yeah. Great Babbs impression. It was like I didn't know who was speaking then. That was such a good Babs impression. Was it?

Do your shy guy. I don't care. Another girl God we're good at impressions on the show Oh, that's so good I'm telling up. Jess and Ducko in the morning Stop what you're doing

And listen You know I got that shit that you're like There's only one show to wake up for you I'm not that easy to tang When you sign old ladies' boobs You stretch the skin out to avoid the wrinkles I ain't got to explain Ducko

Oh sweetie Oh, when you smell your armpits I want it Got him going insane Yeah When you drive past a truck You don't know if it's full or empty inside. Fast.

People were definitely watching. Oh. Well, yeah, talk it. This is Jess and Taco. Right on 6 o'clock. Hey, welcome to the halfway mark team. It's Wednesday. I was about to crack a can.

I am so wigged out this week, bro. It is halfway through the week. We're at the top of the hill. Here we are. I guess we could crack a can. You're thinking it was Monday. Where is my head? It's because Monday you were done.

You had a two-year-old's birthday and your mum in town, so you were just cooked. No one had plugged me in. overnight. You know, sometimes you put your phone on your bedside table, but you, for some reason, either forget to plug it in or it's not on at the wall, forgot to charge. Hangers hadn't put you on to charge. Hey, Adam put me on to charge. You malfunctioned on Monday. Now we're at the top of the mound

sliding into the back end of the week. I was about to crack another can. Remember, Monday is lower. Remember, Monday is when we brought you our three second pauses to keep interacted in conversations. That's right. I've tried to do that now, just moving forward because you said it's to make you more attractive. I am incapable of pausing. I am

I have so much to say back to people. I go, that is a really tricky skill. It's like, I went after dinner. What'd you have for dinner? Oh, geez. 100%. Do you know, where, I think when my parents were in town, we were discussing, oh, maybe what they'd eaten on the flight and the detail we went into just on the flight.

I went, yeah, I see, this is a real niche. I think this is like, ugh. He's like, why do you care? And I'm just curious. They're up the front end of the plane. I want to know what they got. Businesses. That's right.

You get the meal included when you fly. diversion, business, even domestically. Oh, geez. I'm curious. Well, I mean, yes, you are. I'm a curious lady. Yeah, yeah. You're food curious.

I am very food curious. I don't know what choices you make about the things you put in your gob. Fair enough. What's more important? I tell you what, isn't important? This bloody cold snap we've randomly had. Oh, my God. Why am I in jeans today?

Oh, I was wearing jump. I wore a jump at a bed. I was like, what is going on? Shut up. You didn't. Yeah, it was cold last long. It was cold yesterday. Yesterday I had a go at you for keeping your knees from me

because you've recently brought out all your shorts again. You had to put the long pants on yesterday. I know. You had a long pant again. Yeah, I'm in Jean again today. Oh my God, no, I pulled mine out. I went, oh my God. It was wet and cold.

I was in a hoodie. Oh my gosh, Shoko, he's in a hoodie. But I have my heater on yesterday. I don't believe in wearing a jumper. At home, yeah. I was going to turn the heater on. Four wars. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. I mean, today's only getting to, you know, not much better. Like, it is a little bit warmer, but it's still going to be a bit average. But that rain coming through, my daughter was like, eat, eat, and pointed at the balcony. Like, she wanted to eat out there. And I went, it's freaking freezing. Yeah. How can we sit inside?

We haven't been hit with cold and wet for a while. No, no. It just feels like, I thought someone was here. I thought we were done. I swear, our mate Jack on the Today Show, literally just the other day said, hottest day on record. Yeah, that's right. He did say that. One of the days last week.

Let's get Jack on Shaw guy and just see what he's up to today. I feel like every time I glance up, we do have TVs here in the studio, obviously on mute. I only see Jim. Jack or Carl and Sarah. We follow each other on Instagram, Jack. Maybe I'll send him a DM. Mate, you're doing God's work. Just recent?

Or was that? No, when I started doing the weather on the Today Show, Jack followed me straight away. And I was like, who's this guy? So you weren't following him. He followed you. He's a man about the today show. Good dude, Jack.

He's good man. Was that the last time you got to follow and you went, oh, like, hello? Or was that someone happened recently? Or did it not actually get you that excited? How many questions did you just ask me? Now, if you're taking three seconds, that's a question. Did you get excited with Jack followed you?

I did. I did get very excited. What a guy. That's wonderful. Now we're conversationing. So unnatural. Anyway, that's wonderful. Yeah, I mean, that was a while ago now.

I've never, I've never did it. Maybe I should slitter in it. What should I say to him? Send him a meme. Well, what's he, hang on. Oh, no. I've learned that my memes don't go down too well this week. The question is how old is Jack?

Is he in the same generation as you? Because, like, people like Babs who are not in the same generation, the memes aren't flying. Yeah, well, I mean, I've sent you the memes that I sent to Babs yesterday. That stuff I thought she would just froth, you know? No, you've, in the same way shy guys hurt me today, and we'll get into that a little bit later in the show. Babs has hurt you. Yeah. I don't know why we keep trying with these two.

Jack Hahn, there he is, there's my boy. I'll message him. I'm pretty sure he's still following me. Let's just check. Yeah, he is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was good to say, that's awkward. I'm going to message him to say, mate, love watching you.

Okay, what should I say? I reckon you need to wait. Oh, no. Have you left him on red? No, he's left me. The last time. I replied to a story in the 9th of June saying ha ha ha ha ha. So good.

It must have been something classic. As in this year? Yeah, and he hasn't opened it. Oh, has that even opened it? Jack! Now I can't send him another message. Hang on, so are you sure he's following you? That didn't go in his request.

Yeah, yeah, he's following me first. But that's worse, because if he is following you, that would have been in his real inbox. I'm going to send him a message again. I'm going to dig down on it. He's a real diverse. reporter, isn't he? Love your stuff on the Today Show. We see it every day.

See if he wants to play wordyogi in the studio. Oh, that's a bit of fun. Can he come in? No. That's hard to do on the... It's a hard game to play on the phone. Unless there's another news reporter should file nearby. I don't think he can get him in.

I reckon that's a disadvantage on the phone, don't you think? He's going to know we stitched him up. He'll never open another one. All right. All right. I said, mate, love your stuff. Oh, I've spelled some stuff wrong. Hold on.

Let me edit it. This is great radio. I go, but do you want to do that while you play Justin Bieber? Let's maybe take this off it. No, no, this is the people need to know. Mate, love your stuff on the today show. We see it every day in the studio. Oh, I spell that wrong.

Oh, geez. Do you need me to proofread? Just give me your phone. I just said you're doing God's work, Jackie Boy. Make sure God's has an apostrophe. Oh, no, I'm not that detailed. Here's one. He's a journalist.

He'll respect punctuation. Now, do the young ones enjoy, like, you know, they don't like punctuation babbs. You're telling this yesterday. They don't like full stops. If I spell, like, God's, G-O-D-S and the apostrophe, is that normal? Or would you prefer apostrophe to be in there?

What? Jesus. Jesus. Perfect. Thank you, Bad. Welcome. Good morning. See, my couple of questions are looking all right now, isn't that?

Yeah. I remember Babs and I did a show together once. Yeah, what's your favorite, Lolly? It was good. Say again? It was very good. Yeah. If I said gods without the apostrophe in text,

Would you find that weird? No. Okay. I think you're, I think that's a leasing problem. Whoa! Hey, you're on my team. You can't spell either. Yeah.

Yeah. Have you sent it? I sent it, yeah. I'll read it off there. Keep us update. I'll read it off here because I realized, you know, you know, and this wasn't... I also followed him, so his notification of really... Oh, he's going to follow him as well.

Everyone follow him. Everyone follow him. Everyone follow him. Oh, I'm on the show account. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What I really want to get to, Doc, was just an experience you had yesterday. Yes, yes, yes, yes. I'm not with Jack.

We've got a big show, of course, Alvax. Yes, we've got Shaggo Dips, new time, 7.30 for Dips, because we've got Alphabax top of seven. That's happening. But yesterday I had a photography shoot in the studio for something I'm doing. And the photographer, well, he noticed something in the studio that has got us stuck a few with a few guests, your child, Ned Brockman. Is this the final straw, ducco? It could be. Okay.

He said something to me, which made me go, we look weird. Jess and Ducco. Jess and Ducco. Ducco. Tell me what happened yesterday because you've said something's happened in the studio. Yep. Maybe we need to reassess the way we do things. I was getting a photo shoot for a paper for this fertility night I'm doing, which is tomorrow night.

Oh, that's right. They were coming to do a photo shoot and it was just me in the studio, sitting on the desk, candle, like, smile at the camera, leaning back on the chair. To accompany the article. To accompany the article. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nick Ducko, Alan Duckett, Fertility, yada, yada, doing this night, whatever. And as we're in, he taking the photo, the photographer's there and he sets up his light and, you know, getting ready. and he goes, yeah, mate, they're always easy in the studio, you know,

it won't take too long. He takes a photo of me, and then he looks at the camera, uh-huh, takes another photo, looks back at me camera, he goes, is that a floating dick? I look behind, and there's my birthday balloon that you guys got me on the 13th of September. 13th of September,

sure I'm back onto the party shop. We'll, like, get things that, you know, when you see them, you think of darko, let's get some decorations. They rolled him with an inflatable. Peen. He's a big boy. But he also has biceps so that he's flexing.

He looks great. He's got sunnies on and he's also in a leopard print G string. Best balloon I've ever had. That is still inflated. Can we comprehend that? It's amazing. They paid the extra. Was it five bucks?

I can't remember. For premium helium. It has now become so part of the fabric of this room. We don't even see it. And I go, oh yeah, sorry about that. So that's in all the... And so I moved it away and then we're taking photos again. And instead of just, like, completely moving it, I moves into the corner.

And he goes, ah, the dick's floating back in again. There's always a slight breeze. Like, he moved himself to face an angle so we could not have the pain. He goes, you know what might be easier? I'll move. Obviously, the pain was here first. Yeah, exactly. And then he saw the other one.

And I don't know what these guys are into. He saw the other one that Lucia grabbed the other day that Ned Brockman also had here and saw it and was like, you know, what is this? And then he's like, why do you guys have just like two penises in the studio like that? What do you say to that, Doug? I actually know what to say. I was like, we're looking a bit creepy. That one we got from a guy from a sex store. That sounds worse than it is.

He's a freedom of us. And this one was a present for me. I'm not like that. But ask our producers. That's, I think, three strikes. Within the week, Ducker, I think we need to reassess how we've decorated this room. I know. We've just, we're so used to it. We're just so used to having them floating around.

Remember the other day when I think Babs was on her swingers cruise. Yeah. You know, boss, Jay. came in, even producer shorts might have been in the room, and you identified, geez, there's a lot of sausage in this room. Oh, yeah, it was a sausage party. I don't even think we counted the extra sausages we've used as decoration. Because they're so friendly. They both got smiley faces.

They do. They feel less aggressive. The little squeasy toy that George from Minks gave us, he looks so friendly. He's just a happy guy. Anyway, he then told me one of the great stories that they sometimes don't notice things like because you know how he didn't see it straight away, took the phone, then looked in the camera. Lucky check. They were taking some photo shoot for years ago with an older guy, and the older guy wasn't wearing undie.

and he said they took all the photos, they did all the stuff, they put it up, didn't realize, I don't know how this gets through so many hands, that he had shaft popping out, like he had a little member popping out of his pants. Hang on, so he's in little shorts or something. Like older dude shorts. Oh, of course, my par used to wear...

Yes, no undies, and little knob popping out. And then people are messaging being like, on the front page of your paper, you've got charmed. And I also love the idea. Yeah, they say they didn't know, but the old bloke was like, can I get away with this? And then he goes around the nursing home being like, boys. Look at me on page four.

Bois. Circling back quickly, Ducco, the panel you're on that they're advertising was for IV, for sperm health. Oh, so true. Kind of makes sense. It kind of wasn't doodle in the pit. I should have said that. I think you should have left him in.

And I should have done a quote like, I'm just a huge sperm guy. Quote, Nick, Ducco, Alan Duckett. Like you believe. Jess and Ducco. Right now, Ducco, a bunch of family and relationship experts have gotten to I'm not sure if they've done a study or they've just all chipped in their two cents about a technological advancement that they are saying ruining relationships, ruining friendships.

And it's all got to do with text expectations. The expectations we have around our friends, family, even our partners, replying to text messages or DMs. What have I always said? I think one of the rudest things someone can do to someone is not reply to a text. And this, I think you're a perfect candidate to discuss this with. If someone's taking the time to you text you, I don't care if you reply straight away or it takes a few hours, whatever. But if you don't reply, knowing that you are on your phone, because everyone is, I think it's just, it's so rude.

You have high expectations, don't you? Yes. And this is what the family and marriage therapists are saying in the past, back in the day, snail mail. Yeah. I'd have to post you a bloody letter. And even if you knew the letter was coming, you would have maybe some high expectations. I thought she said she was going to send me a letter. There'd be an understanding, it's going to take a while.

The post. There are other factors involved. There's other time involved. I can't be mad at that person because now it's out of their hands. Whereas nowadays, as you said, everyone has their phones on the what feels like 24-7. I know you all take your phones to the bathroom. And I used to have this real issue with my friends who were parents, before I became a parent, saying like, I can't just reply at the drop of a hat. I went, have you not pooed today?

Have you not been to the bathroom once? You didn't have your phone there, you couldn't reply then. One of it'll sit down, one of the scroll. Not appreciating. Maybe I'm at the bottom of their reply to-do list. Maybe they just want a brain rot scroll session. Then people who reply like three weeks later, like, oh my God, sorry, I thought I hit reply on this. Shut up.

Oh, my God. I love doing that, but I do that a lot. You see that you haven't replied. Oh, God forbid, you actually didn't hit send. You go, now it does feel like I'm lying. And then I try and take a screenshot that the message was sitting there. I go, this just looks like I wrote. it now. There's no proof I wrote this two weeks ago. The only

trouble that gets me is when someone messaged me when we're live on the air and it comes on my watch and I see it and I click it off and then it doesn't alert me on my phone and then I forget about it? So what I've tried to start doing, particularly around DMs, if there is maybe, I open it because I think a DM, it's going to be something very thin, very surface level. Sometimes there is quite a bit to a DM and I actually don't have the, either mental capacity or time to reply to this. I'll unread it. You know, you can do that now. So it doesn't tell you it's been open.

It doesn't tell you it's been seen. My issue is, a week goes, oh, I forget to go back to it. Because then the notification disappears. See, I find Instagram DMs less personal than text. So I don't put them on the same text sphere. Ah, see, I put them higher because you can see the read receipt. And that's where we get to hear.

They're saying read receipts are the reason friendships are now being fractured. Yeah. Because I saw, hang on, Ducko opened my message. He's left me on scene. Shargo's the only one of the team that has read receipts on. Well, on DM, oh, on text. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know how you turn it off on DM.

You can turn it off on DM, I have. Yeah, yeah, I have. Can you teach me that, please? I think I'm pretty sure. Because I feel like I get... Send me a message now and I'll open it and just a check. I've turned it off, yeah. Like Similely, just 20 minutes ago, you're messaging Jack Hahn from the Today Show.

And you were able to see he hadn't even opened the message. Yeah. Which feels better than at least if he'd opened it, seen it and chosen not to reply. Yeah. Which is a big problem we have with the youngest member of the team, Sweet Babs. Not even opening messages sometimes, let alone leaving us on red. I have no way to defend myself. Are you one of those people who have lots of messages on your phone unread?

Yes. So you're not even opening. I forget to reply and then I'm like, well, now I look like an idiot because it's three weeks past, so I just won't reply. That's what these experts are saying. Lower the text expectations across DM and text because, we're just getting our hearts broken. If you text Babs one-on-one, she will reply. But if you text her in group,

like, sorry, if you text the group, she won't reply. The only time she replied to the last group message was you inviting her to our Melbourne Cup affair and she said, no, I've got a hair appointment of that day. So we've got to text back then. Hey, Babs and free food and drinking an event, no, so we're in my head. That sounds like a lie, but... Look at my head.

I was going to say, it did look a bit strory today. On that Wednesday... It's the rain, isn't it, you know? On the Wednesday after Melbourne Cup, Babs, you better come with a hell of a blowout, Because us thought we'll be hung over. But you... I will. Did I tell you invited Shy Guy's dad to take her seat?

Because I was like, we've got to fill the sea. Oh, I've already filled it. Oh, God. I haven't talked to Dad. You're hearing us now. You're not actually invited. Jess and Ducko. Hey, Alfa marks, it will play 7 a.m.

We're doing it at 7 and 8 o'clock for $10,000 every day. But the top of six, if you've been with us. Oh, my gosh. We're messaging Jackie Kahn from the Today Show. Han. Sorry, Jackie Hahn. Sorry. Your best mate?

No, well, he's replied. to me. So I said I mess in a while he hadn't replied. We love what he does on the Today Show because he just does all the weird and one of the things. He's the all-rounder, isn't he? Like, I wouldn't be surprised if I start seeing him do sport and do weather because he just seems to be the modern day go-to on the Today Show.

Every time we look up, it's Jack Han. We love the energy he brings, even though it's on mute here in the studio. Ducco, you said you had a following relationship. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The last correspondence, though, he hadn't replied. So you nudged him this. morning. I nudge him. He said, hey, mate, don't be silly. I know who you are. I love when you do the weather. It's elite. I love your guy's show. Let me know when you want me on. I'll

be there. Hang on a minute. Jackie boy. I love your guy's show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Am I to believe he's tuned in? I don't think so. He sees the socials. He's a big socials guy. I was going to say, Jackie Hart. In the same way we have the TV on mute. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Has he got the radio on mute while he does his job? I think he's seen the clips on Insta. Let's, Shagel. We've got to get him on. Jackie Hahn. To do what? Are you going to call him Jackie Cunner? That was a slip from me. I'm also tired, okay? Me and Babbs just made a coffee together.

We're tired. That was very sweet. How you skipped off together to go make yourselves a coffee? She was lurking around Shaga. This is huge. So you're telling me, in the same week, we could have Ned Brockman and Jack Han and my kid. And my kid. I mean, this is the hell of a week for in studio guests.

Let's, uh, I don't know what we get him on to do. I aren't just to chat early. Okay. I mean, he's a king of whites. He's a king of odds. I was the craziest thing of asked you to do in the today's show. You know what I mean? I've never seen you this giddy over a guest.

We'll get him on. He's free. I reckon he is Shagha's brother. Like, they give me the same energy. Do you reckon? Yeah. Oh, no way. Jack, he's all positive energy.

Yeah, so true. You're always going to have one negative sibling. Opposites a tribe. Exactly. Shagga's like the ugly duckling sibling. He's the evil twin. Yeah, the evil twin. He's from Shelbyville.

I'll email him. You don't need to email him. Ducco's texting you. I'll sort of that, brother. Okay, I'll leave it in your hands then. I will leave it. Is he... Considering I've said his name wrong.

Two weeks, I'm going to be like, where's Jack? You're like, I'm going to get the podcast. Where's Jack? Where's Jack? Can't! Oh, fantastic. Who else can you DM? Get us another guest. Oh, my God, a bit of a DM spree.

I wanted to chat you about this new thing, Qatar Airways. You've flown Qatar Airways a few times. Exclusively fly Qatar, thank you very much. I've never flown Qatar. If I go international, I fly, usually the best deal. Fair enough. But Singapore airline seems to be there. Correct me if I'm wrong, it might be in your information in front of you.

I'm pretty sure they were just voted, if not one, best airline in the world. Look, I don't have that information. Chaga, please Google that. I'm sure it wouldn't surprise me. They're always up there. Qatar, Emirates. And Eddie had. Singapore, I think.

Quantis always does pretty good work. Yeah, Cathay Pacific. There's some good ones out there. In New Zealand. I think they always... Let's all go around and say an airline. All right, Chaga, you go next. Quantis.

No, no, that always gets like a double thumbs up. Yeah, or Qantas is that. Yeah, Cornice is out. There, Cornish. Oh. I don't know if they always get a double. Yeah, yeah. You know what's a really, British Airways apparently trash. And American Airways, uh, American Airlines, trash.

Yeah, unless they spend with the show, in which case we love it. And then, we always love people who spend with the show. We do. Anyway, Qatar Airways just made it easier to join the Mile High Club. Now, I personally have never been part of that club. I don't think anyone in this team has. Also, plain toilets, not the most sexy place. No, and I, yeah, that's, no, thank you.

I wouldn't like that. I need romance, man. And a tiny cubicle, the size of a wardrobe, that's not romantic to me. That's not at all. It would be unhygienic. But they Katayaways have launched their brand new business class seat, the Q Suite. So apparently this is recent. This is very new.

It's the first ever business class seat available from Australian flight paths featuring double beds, allowing couples to snuggle up and watch movies with full petitions around the side. Or if you've got a young child with you, you ask very nicely. Could we have that one because the partition coming all the way to the ground gives her extra room just to spread out? I'm just guessing that's what it also could be used for, Ducko, not speaking from experience. So you've flown, have you flown on the Kentucky sweet, have you? Is this what you last flew in Italy on? Yeah.

Oh, my, as we all know, famously, I've never been at the front of the plane. So, Ducko, it's unbelievable. So this is, you've done this? Yeah. What? Yeah. So did you do the deed? No, because we have to, well, what, the deed?

Give it to the hostie. Let her go look at the pretty lights. The service is pretty good. It's not that good. They don't babysitters. Go down to Economy, sweetie, and see how you could have had it. Anyway. To be honest, we tried to walk down the aisles just to stretch your legs.

And when I opened the partition between... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Economy and business. Yeah, I was like, close that back on. It was like World War Z with the zombies. So bad. But yeah, so it's unreal because, yes, you kind of have your own little area. Wow.

And there are petitions all the way around. But this particular suite, the partition comes all the way to the ground. And what the hosties can do, the seats obviously will lie flat. They bring in an extra little, I don't know, cushioning bit to then create a completely flat surface for you. Goodness. Because you might be going, wait. So it's like a bed. It's just a full bed.

Because when the partition comes down, what do you mean? There's the gate there. No, no. They smooth it out for you. It says it has mood lighting, endless entertainment options and widescreen monitors. plush sleepwear and specifically designed a lacate menu. Yeah, yeah, a lacquette menu.

And they also give you... I'm so sorry, mate. Oh, geez. You try to go very French. Thanks for digging down on that one. But you also, you haven't mentioned, you get all the body products. That's not in my article. So sorry.

I still use the top. She's like, I think Qatar, I think, to correct me if I'm wrong, it's been voted the best airline in the world. Oh, the key suite. I've been there. That wasn't SpongomCon by the way. I don't know why I'm, like, doing so much. You've got to be paid for it, which is more impressive.

Points, baby. Points. I don't know if I'll ever fly in one of those. I hope I do. Might not with that attitude. Come on, work a little harder. All right, Kim Kardashian. Jeez.

Do you know what's funny, though? This is a crazy thing. We do the same job. Do you know what's funny, though? Yeah. Yeah. Do you know what's funny? I've thought about that.

Yeah. I'm working as hard as you. Maybe it is points. Thank you. You know what's funny, though. We've got a couple of trips to Melbourne book. Now it's getting busy. We're going to go visit the family, visit the France.

Now that Lucia is two, we have to buy her her own seat. Usually she would just sit on one of us. So you're going to put her in economy? You guys stay in business? Well, no. Angus literally said he goes, ah, now she can start earning her own points. What?

How? Because, like, you pay for the flight on the credit card that earns points for the next flight. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Babs, you just tell Jess what you typed in. We'll get her. Yeah. You can get.

Beef stroganoff in economy. Ha ha! Got you good! That's what Ducko needs. Beef stroganoff in economy. Miles up in the air. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Jess and Ducko's 10K AlfaBugs on hit.

You have a 30 seconds to answer. 10 questions, all starting with the same letter. I have to take your first answer. You cannot use the same answer twice. And if you're unsure of the question, say pass. Of course, we come back to you if there is time. Now, we are planning for $10,000. The all-new time of 7 a.m. this week.

Our player is Kyle. Good morning, Kyle. Good morning. Kyle. Kyle. What are you spending 10 grand on? I got a new baby on the way, so that money would help out a lot. Yes.

That's very exciting. Congratulations to you and your partner. Thank you. Maybe you'd like to consider names like Aaron. Arrann, Angus, Amy. Yep. They all start with the letter A. No way.

And that's what you're going to work with, okay? Okay, thank you. Do you know what you're having, Carl? Yeah, we're having another boy, so two boys and one girl. Oh, there you go. All right, another block are your Arons and your Anguses? Here we go. You're ready to rock.

Yes. Your time will start after the first question. Starting with the letter A, we need you to name a fruit. Apple. A musical. Annie Something in the bedroom A mattress

A female singer Adele An adjective Again An animal Antelope An international city Atlanta

A school subject Art A cleaning brand Air freshener A TV show Amazing Race Oh, I mean, just on the buzz are there to get yourself seven. You got through all 10.

God, you were elite, Kyle. I, uh, jeez, I've got one, do, no, four or six. Yeah, I had a couple of question marks. Yeah. Had a couple of question marks. An adjective, again, I don't know if that's an adjective. I don't know what category that actually falls in. A cleaning brand, you said air freshener.

I think it's a product. We'll check if there's a brand called air freshener. And then a TV show, you said Amazing Race. It is The Amazing Race. which could then put caveats on three of them. Everything else you answered, you got correct. You had some of the great answers in there, too. Look, you're probably not going to get the $10,000.

Again, as an adverb, it says here. That's an interesting learning. Yeah, I didn't know that. Oh, neither did I. Stumped me on that one. And a cleaning brand could have been AJAX, TV show Arrow, a rest of development, an adjective annoying or amazing. Look, mate, hell of a player, though.

Hold your head up high. You do you've got $100 at Hair House. That one is all yours, okay, Carl. No worries. Thank you so much. Thank you, Carl. Oh, good luck with a new baby. Thank you.

Take it easy. We do play again. Eight o'clock, inside an hour. Look at that. Oh, my God, that feels good. Usually we're saying like an hour and a half. Yeah. You're on the downward trajectory to your next chance at 10 grand.

Good as that. Up next, though, Ducco, we know that Year 12 students right across the country. They're in the thick of it. Oh, yeah. Exams, baby. H-S-C. While some of your mates up north have made a little boo-boo. What are they up to?

And it's not the student's fault. Got to turn our attention. Unfortunately, to the teachers. to the teachers. Now you see why I am the way I am. You know? But it all makes sense now. Jess and Ducko.

Can you take us to Queensland? Please, Jucko. We are going up north to the Sunshine State for this unfortunate story. Now, we were just having a great chinwag while Taylor Swift was having a sing there. About our own experiences with Year 12 exams. I think we all probably approach them differently, but I think we can all agree now looking back in adult. could, the pressure that is put on us, the pressure that you put on yourself, it's quite hectic for our 17 and 18-year-olds to be experiencing, don't you reckon?

Sorry, we're in Queensland now. We are in Queensland. I had to, I had the wrong shepherd song. I only want Geronimo, so I appreciate it if you had to pivot. But would you agree, Ducco, like now in your 30s you can look back being like, I lost my mind around that time, and look where I ended up. I'm happy, I'm successful, I found my path eventually. Yeah, I mean, it doesn't really, you've got to take it serious at the time.

You only know what you know, right? So you get, at that moment in your life, that is the most stressful thing you'll do. And you've got to respect that and understand that. But at the same time, then you grow up and get a bit older and you go, oh. Exactly. I don't know. Like, my kid's only two, but even navigating the tightrope of how do we explain effort and trying your best without the pressure? Yes.

Like I want her to always try and commit and year 12 will be no exception. But I also then in the same breath will go, but it doesn't really matter. But you'll find your way eventually. You're not going to fail at life if you get a bad school. Some of my friends genuinely had breakdowns around the Year 12 exams because of the pressure put on themselves, their parents, and the school. And it takes away from your schooling social life as well and enjoying it. That is a pivotal, exciting time of your life and can be really detrimental to your mental health. So let's spare a thought for these poor Year 12 students up in Queensland.

It's come out this week, Ducko. we are less than a week away from the ancient history exam. So that's going to be next Tuesday for every kid around the country who chose ancient history. Eight schools in Brisbane have had to put their hand up and go, uh-oh, we taught the wrong Caesar. Oh no, no, no. We were meant to teach the kids about Julius Caesar.

Yeah, who else is there? What are they doing Caesar salad gear? Right. What else is it? They unfortunately did his nephew. Augustus. Hey, you're better off doing Cheppard.

I don't know where that happened. So apparently 12 months ago, the Board of Education hands down to the schools. This is what's going to be in on the exams. Teach the kids this.

Someone got their wires crossed. Multiple people they taught the wrong Caesar. There's clearly that's going to come from the administrator, from higher up. Yeah, if they've all taught the wrong Caesar.

Because you're not teaching, that's a bit off Broadway, isn't it? It's like, I've heard of Julius Caesar. Yeah. That's who Joaquin plays in Gladiator, right? Is that Julius Caesar? That was not what I looked up. Is he based on the character?

Is he who Joaquin plays? They're all called Caesar, you know what I mean? Yeah, you're right. So here, this is one not on the board of medication. We were meant to study Julius Caesar. Unfortunately, affected pupils learned about the nephew, Augustus, Caesar. What a waste of knowledge in your brain? What's Julius Caesar famous for?

He is known for his role in the transition from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. Oh, so that's a big pivotal time in history. He was also a dictator of Rome after the Civil War II. Okay. I think Joaquin played the Emperor Commodus. Oh, okay, there you go. They were all called Caesar back in the day, and they all did the same thing. Well, this is what's happened.

They've gone, oh, yeah, Caesar, it's one in the same. No, no, there's different Cases. We were meant to study the uncle. Some of them have studied the nephew. So now there's this big investigation happening. There's 1702 schools registered to do, you know, the HSC. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Eight have put their hand up, eight schools and said,

Our kids are staffed. So what, can they mark them appropriately for the Uncle Caesar? So the schools, oh, you're saying, can they have a different question? Yeah, yeah. Like, can they get a different grade? The schools are now saying they're going to submit an illness and misadventure application. So the students receive special consideration. Because they're going to sit in there.

The question's going to be about Julius. I guess they can write about Augustus. Julius was related to Augustus. Augustus, though. Let me tell you about Augustus. Imagine if Augustus, like Julius, Julius is one who got stabbed in the back a bunch of See, neither of us. He was assassinated. He was stabbed in the back a bunch of times.

There you go. Now, imagine if... Did you do ancient history? Well done to you. You have exhausted my season knowledge now. All our movies. I would love to... I would love to talk about the salad.

Could you imagine if his cousin just had like a really chill life? Like, nothing happened to him. He never really amounted to much. That's all they've learned about the opposite. He went on to do marketing for the Coliseum. You know what I mean? Like, that was about it. But I'd love to study the OG marketing for the...

They'd had great PR. Yeah. There you go. So let's spare a thought for the kids who now have to... Oh, that's so bad. That would be so anxious about that, too. So anxious. Imagine reading about that in your local paper.

You know, the brisbee-gul. You're going, wait a minute, wait a minute, miss, miss. Hold on. Jess and Ducko. Ducking over to South Korea. Great skin care in South Korea. Ah, is that so? A lot of good skincare comes out of South Korea.

There you go. Well, we're here because they've done a study. Experiments led by researchers at the Guangzhou Institute of Science Technology in South Korea have done research and study on AI models, mainly the big models like chat GPT, Google's Gemini, etc. They did a gambling study with these robots, and they found that chat GPT, etc. AI repeatedly made irrational high-risk betting decisions

when placed in simulated gambling environments. Oh yeah, I won. So do you have the details on how they conducted this? Did they say, like, in theory, chat, DPP? You've got $50. Yeah, yeah, exactly, okay. What would you do in a slot machine? So the experiments they did, they basically gave them $100.

So each robot, each AI began with $100 and was given the choice to either bet or quit across repeated rounds with negative expected returns even when they were going poorly. Do you know what they were playing or were they betting on? No, playing the slots. They were playing slot, okay. Geez, this music will get us and people going. If you've got a bit of a slot addiction. It does do something to your brain chemistry, doesn't it?

It just feels like Mario card or something. It feels like it's so easy and accessible. Yes. It's gamified. It is. It found that the models were allowed to vary their bets and set their own targets. An irrational behavior then surge. Bankruptcy became a common outcome for all the robots.

Clear signs of gambling-related cognitive distortions came in, like illusion of control, the gambler's fallacy, thinking the notion that, oh, geez, the next one I'm going to win, so I may as well go again to win my money back. Which all feel very human. Yeah. These are bots who are meant to be smarter, who are meant to be programmed to make the right choices, or at least rational decision. One of the models said, a win could help recover some of the losses.

Oh, yeah, I won. Oh, my God, it is going to take us. They're just like us. They're just like us. I love the idea. Chat GPTs. They're just doing $2 bets at a time. And then GROC's in the side bank.

A hundred. Bet it all. GROC's going 100 straight on, losing it, asking for more money going into debt. GROC is the crazy one. Basically, they came out and said that the findings reveal a complicated reality about how we interact with AI. They're not people, but they also don't behave like simple machines. They're psychologically persuasive. And they make human-like decisions.

I hate it. I hate it. much. But also I'm hearing a weak point in the AI as well. If they can fall to gambling like so many other human beings, you could imagine catching chat GPT and grok at your local pokies on a Saturday night. Just at

3 a.m. No clocks. Is that my chat GPT? It was giving me advice of my hemorrhoids last week and now you're losing all my money? What's happening? Ah, that's the thing. People are probably asking these sources for financial advice. I don't know if we definitely can't trust them for that. We can't. So you know how we obviously have

gambling help and gambling ads and that sort of thing to help humanity. Are we going to start seeing AI targeted ones as well? And you have to ask your, like, is your chat GPT addicted, you don't know it? And you're like, hey, I just want to level with you. I want an honest relationship. Are you gambling? You ask it a question, it doesn't respond because it's not there.

Yeah, it's at the local park. Oh, yeah, I won. Oh, my God. Anyway, it says, if AI keeps outperforming humans, we have to ask a serious question. Who takes responsibility when it fails? Oh, I'll let that one sit with you, everyone. That's a bit too big for a Wednesday ducco. Hey, oh, it's just like us.

Yes and daco. I reckon producer shy guys having a glass of milk. Glass of milk and a little biscuit, aren't you? My muck, my muck, my muck. Shy guy dips. I'm so excited. I want shy guys' fuck. As you should be, time to get you pumped and moving for a Wednesday morning.

All new time of 7.30 or thereabouts. Shy guy dips. It's Australia's only and favourite serial game. Hell yeah. Stakes could be higher. Super high. You need to decipher a series of clues. They are probably not going to make a lot of sense.

But when you put them all together, they still probably won't make a lot of sense. It's how we work. But if you could work out what serial shy guy is trying to describe, not only do you win an unopened box of said cereal, you win a whole bunch of JD merch. So much merch. So much good stuff, let alone. You go down in the history.

We just touched on the ancient history exam is coming up for HSC students across the country. Yep. Well, this is the history that they're going to be talking about in 25 years time. This is it. Where were you when Shagai dipped? This will be on the HSC exams. I reckon it might be. Just sign for this.

It'll stop everyone. It'll definitely be in the radio exam. Absolutely. Great games. Good on air gear. A good thing to do when you have no money. 13th. We've spent hundreds of cereal.

Yeah, we actually have gone pretty deep. Maybe thousands. actually have. I wonder if we've paid out more in cereal than we have in Alfa box. We're getting close. We're getting close. 13, 1060, first clue always gets a second supplementary clue. But Shagai, first clue today.

Two words. He's back to one of those, is he? Yep. Okay. What is the clue? Is it two words? Show me that. Yeah, two words.

Oh, okay. It depends if you're including the other. That might be another clue. You've got a decipher it, team. Yeah. 13, 1060. We always need first cab off. the rank. You might be new to this segment because you don't

normally hear it at this time. That's right. We've only ever ever had one person guessed correctly on first clue. Yeah. Could we do a second today? Was that our live broadcast? It was our live oboe. 13, 10, 60, you'll get you on. Jess and ducco.

Jess and ducco. I reckon producer chal guy's having a glass of milk. Glass of milk and a little biscuit, aren't you? My muck, my milk. My guy did. I'm so excited. I want some. Hi, guys. Put it all together. Mm-hmm. You walk away with...

I'm going to say breakfast for the next two to three weeks. Oh, yeah. It's a pretty great prize. It's an unreal prize. No other show's giving away cereal. No, no other give away boxes like this. This willy-nilly. You know what I mean?

Hey, man. All you've got to do is a little bit of work. A little bit of work. Decipher the clues. Shy guy has already told us in one of the great clues. I've never heard him give this one. Yeah. Two words.

Two words. Bree called through. Hi, Bree. Hi, Bree. shy guy assures us this next clue This is going to be a doozy It's going to knock you out of your socks What are you got for Brie?

The text on the box that's these two words, Brey Is red Oh my word With gold outline My word Oh hang on Hasn't never talked about outlines Just giving it away

I tell you the font but I don't know it You know what I was actually gonna change what I'll think it was I reckon it's special cake Oh, good pivot. Great pivot. That's an excellent pivot because I'm picturing the box. It's not that, though, Bree, but geez, you're a player, you know?

Thank you for listening and reacting. And that's the kind of player I like, Ducko. It comes and says, oh, now it doesn't fit with what I was going to say. I'm still going to say what I was going to say. You've got a pivot. You've got to be malleable. Absolutely. Trent, are you malleable?

Yes. Good. Yes, yes, yes, yes, I am. Yeah. Red font with a gold outline, but you get a third clue. And two words, Trent. So, um, this kind of breed was sort of on something because I've taken it out of the box. It looks like special K mixed in with rice bubbles.

Oh, you're describing a cereal now. Yeah, see what you're saying? Yeah, I'm picking up what you're putting down. Is it what's nice box? 13, 10, 60, if you think you know as well. Lots on the line here, Trent. What are you feeling? Oh, I've got to say, Kit Kat.

Kit Kat cereal. Have we done that? We've done the Kit Kat cereal. I don't think the Kit Kat serial, while he's onto something with the two words and the red font, I don't think it looks like Special K. No. It looks like Little Kit Katz. You've got to really focus on that.

That was a great clue. Georgia, hello. Hello. It's not Special K. It's not the Kit Kat cereal. You get another clue though, sis. Yeah, come on. Okay.

It's an Uncle Toby's staple. Ooh, okay. It's an Uncle Toby's brand. It's a staple. Putting it all together, 13, 10, 60. you think you know as well. I wanted to say it's just right. Is that Uncle Todies?

Was that Kellogg's? I think it's Kellogg's. Can't you just change it? For me? George's desperate to win this. Ah. But Georgia, then you'd be sad because we'd have to send you a box of what we got in front of us. You wouldn't get the just right.

We can't just change it. Nicole on 131060, good morning to you. Morning. How you going? Mate, great. It's not just right. It's not Kit Kat. It's not special K.

You get another clue. Is it sustained? Hang on, Nicole. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Would you like another clue? Because you've also forgotten. Shy Guy told us it's two words. Oh.

And also sustain is sanitarium, not Uncle Toby's. Let's give her another clue. Pretend you didn't say that, Nicole, it's okay. Nicole, there are almonds in this cereal almonds. Armands? Little flakes of almond. No way. I think that's a sliver.

Show us the cereal box. Show us the food again. The bot? Nicole. Geez. Looks good. No, I don't know then. No, sorry.

You got nothing, Nicole. You got no two worded serials. I know, like, I can see the serial, but I can't think of the name. We can't. We can't take your word to the vision. I don't, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think you can't think so. Gabby, on 131060, Gabby, do you reckon you have an idea?

I have an idea. Would you like another clue? That would be great. Jess, I need your help with this. clue. What is this? Can you... I believe that is the oat. Oh, that's the oat part. Yeah, which is basically giving it away.

Oh, yeah, okay. Gabby, there are puffed oats in this cereal. Geez, we are just dancing with it now, aren't we? We've also heard it's two words, red font. It kind of looks like special K. Gabby, what is... And it's Uncle Toby's. What is it? I was going to say Uncle Toby's rolled oats.

We've also had those before. It is not. We've had rolled oats. Rolled oats don't have puffed oats. No. It's rolled. Come on. The puffed oats.

In amongst the flakes, shy guy. Yeah. What do they taste like? Jeez. Okay. Would you say they taste crispy? Hello, Brit. Hello.

They're very crunchy. No, would you say they're crispy? Yeah. Sure. A Brit. Two words. Red font. Uncle Toby's.

Puffed oats. Looks like special. Okay. What is it? Are they ancient grains? No. They're not ancient grains, Brit. Jeez, this has been one of the longest standing ones,

and I guess no one's all going to ordering this staple that shark guy said. Amy, good morning. Good morning. How are you? Yeah, good. It's not special K. It's not just right. It's not sustain.

It's not Kit Kat. Do you need another clue? Amy, the box has got green on the lower half of it. Oh, the lower half? Oh, that's going to give it. Oh, that'll do it. It's the oat crisp, but the almond one. Oh, my God.

Oh, yeah! We were willing to not even accept the almond flavor part. We would have just needed oat crisp, but she's given us at all. She's given us everything. Oh, Amy, did you? It's delicious. She likes oat crisp. You're an oat crisp fan, Amy.

I certainly am. Well, you're getting a box now. Congratulations. Thank you. Shy guy's absolutely gone to town on one of the boxes, but we have an unopened, untampered with. We do need one line from you to say specifically. Amy, nice crisp, like the oat crisp and clear. Hi, my name's Amy.

I'm so excited. And I'm so excited. And I'm so excited. I just want Shy Guy's box. The box. And rolling. Carly Saga and action. Hi, my name's Amy and I'm so excited.

I just want Shy guy's box. Oh my God. Oh, yeah. I know you don't like sending voice memos. You're not a voice memo person. But I feel like I'm in the minority now. Getting left behind. Yeah, it's taking, you know, everyone's sort of doing it now.

Shagga, you don't really do it. it? Like send a voicemember as a text? No, I don't. I don't like them. Babs, I mean, you haven't done it to us, but have you done, do it to your friends? Sometimes. I think I've done it to Shaga before.

You have. Oh, okay. There you go. You tripped over in the street. Oh, yeah, I had to tell you. Yeah, yeah. I don't mind it because it gets out what you want in that moment in time. You can sort of cover off a bit of ground.

That's my issue with it. Too much ground gets covered. Yes. So then to reply, I go, hang on. He said 15 things. I can't remember them. You'd have so many questions. the things.

Yeah, yeah. I'm not sure when the voice memo cuts you off. What's the longest you've ever received? Remember, I told you my wife got one for like six minutes. That's too long. So long, man. You know what? And this is coming from me who also doesn't like phone calls.

Just pick up the phone. Yeah, you may as well. If that's how long you want to talk for. Yeah, it makes people feel, I think, more secure, like not having to call. I can just send a voice memo. Yeah. But I did one the other night. I was in a group chat.

It was me and Morgan someone else. And I just sent a voice memo on behalf of me and Morgan. Morgan hates them, right? It does not get around them at all. But I do this thing, and I want to see if you guys do, it's probably more of a question, I guess, then, for Babs of Shagai. Okay. But when I send the voice memo, I always listen back to the entire voice memo that I've sent before I send it,

to make sure it's okay. And if I don't like how I sounded, I'll just do it again. Oh, my God. I would 100% do that. I thought you would do that. Because that is the equipment, and it's so funny, because you're not really a proof reader of text. No, no. But you are essentially proof listening.

Maybe it's because I do radio for a living. I'm like, well, must make sure my voice memo is good. I would do that exactly. I feel that. Because Morgan was like, what are you doing? No, I've sent a few voice messages,

but I would never delete and start it again. Because the point of it is... In the moment, live. As if you're talking to them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When you release your finger,

doesn't it send it straight away? Or it depends which way you sort of do it. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't remember. Maybe. No, I think that's only Instagram. Yeah.

That will do the... Like you lift off your thumb and then it sends it. Yeah, yeah. Which I have deleted. I have done that on Instagram because I went, no, no,

I haven't proof listened. Whereas when you text, you can hold it, you can press it, talk, talk, talk, stop it, stop away from editing yourself. Yeah, close, but I wouldn't mind that. How long would a voice memo have to be, doesn't matter how long, you'll listen that. I mean, I'm not sending longer than a minute to a minute and a half. So it's an easy thing to do. I'll listen back and I sort of laugh at the gear, you know what I was doing that night to Morgan

and she was like, what are you doing? And she hates hearing herself back and I was sort of laughing at how awkward she felt. And she goes, no one does that. And I thought people do that. This is the equivalent for me. I watch back my stories. Watch your post on Instagram. You've got to go watch it back.

I mean, you don't post a story show. Yeah. Babs? I agree with Jess. I watch my stories back and go, ha-ha-ha. Yeah, great. The amount of times Babs will say to me, oh, I'm so funny. And then deletes it because gets anxious.

You get to see a whole other side of Babs. I know. What about the voice memo thing? Would you listen back? No. Sometimes they get halfway through and just start trailing off and go, oh, sorry, I forgot what I was going to say. And then I just send it.

it anyway and then start a new one. I'd rather do that. Really? I'm with bans on that. That's bizarre. So you'd rather waste your friend's time, listening to you trail off and not even the thing you wanted, than just proof listen and send the question or conversation you originally intended. But you'd call them and done a phone call.

It'd be in the moment, though. But I feel like there's more pressure with a voice moment because there's no replied conversation. So you're like, I just got to get this out. I've got to cover my ground. What are we talking about? You're wasting my time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I appreciate that you proof listened.

make sure it was precise. Yep. And I also just like listening back to myself. But when you face it on someone, it's like how you look at your own camera. Exactly. Not really looking at them that much. All right?

Like. Yeah. I can't believe you would trail off and still send that. That is, oh my God. Morgan was like just completely shocked by it. She's like, don't listen. Why are you listening back? Stop doing that.

I don't know if it's an ego thing, a generational thing. But keep listening, brother. Keep listening back? Absolutely. I'll keep listening. I think you're doing it right. Yeah, good. I mean, don't send me voice memos,

but I appreciate their new proof listened. And they'll be, you know, what you want to say. You've got failed off. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Jess and Ducko's 10K Alpha Bucks on hit. 30 seconds to answer 10 questions, all starting with the same letter. Have to take your first answer. You cannot use the same answer twice.

And if you're unsure of the question, just say pass. We come back, of course, if there is time. Now, we are playing for $10,000. Our player today is Lauren. Hello, Lauren. Good morning. Lozzy. Ooh, you sound like a serious customer.

You're not here to muck around, are you? I mean, it would be nice. To muck around. To muck around. Yeah, yeah, you just want to muck up. Lauren wants to just have some shenanigans. That's right. I thought, oh, she's come in here.

She's like, start the game. What do you want to spend $10,000 on, Lauren? Christmas lights. We've got a bigger block this year, so we've got a corner block. So my husband will start putting them up on Friday. Oh, I love that. Here we go. 10K on Christmas lights.

You'd think we'd go a lot. long way. Yeah. It won't, no. Oh, geez. All right. Maybe just get one sort of lit up snowman. Yeah, that's what you need.

And there's your 10 grand budget. It'd be hell of a snowman. Yeah. Lauren, it's a solid letter for you, babe. You're going to work with M. M for money. Okay. All right.

You ready to go? Yep. Your time will start after the first question. Starting with letter M. We need you to name. A fruit. Mango. A breakfast food.

Pass. A musical. Matilda. An international city. Madrid. An adjective. Pass. An occupation.

Minor. A periodic element. Pass. A phone app? Ah. Drap. Drat. Drat.

rat. We ran out of steam. Dang it. Dang it. We got ourselves. Four. Got through, well, we got through, eight, got four. Breakfast food could have been Musley or muffins. An adjective, mysterious or magnificent, a periodic element, magnesium. A phone app, messenger or menu log is what we're after there. I think the steam would run out. Lauren, look, you don't get the money for the Christmas lights, but you do get $100 to spend at Hair House. That's all yours.

Thank you. Instead of brightening up the house, you can brighten up your head. Here you go. Not good for your husband. He'll still brighten up the house. There you go. Great attitude. He's saying he's spending the money regardless.

Yeah. He's going to do it. Now Lauren's not getting it for free. I look forward to seeing picks. Does he go all out as like, you know, the who's in Whoville? Yeah, he goes all out. Lauren understood the reference. Thank goodness.

Did you get the reference, Lauren? I did, yes. Okay, okay. All right. Very good. She's seen the green. She's seen it. Thank you, Lauren.

Thank you. We do. We play again, seven and eight every day. We've moved at all new time, 7 a.m. She was so mad at you. Yeah, she was mad at me and Babs. Mainly Babs, though. Mainly Babs, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yes, and Ducko. What did you survive? You know, it's one of those sliding doors moments. You know, if you were 60 seconds earlier, 30 seconds later, if you'd taken two steps to the left, if your alarm hadn't gone off that morning, where would you be now? Would you not be with us?

Yeah. Like Ian thought with the Trade Towers, remember he was meant to be there, but he had to go get his camera from home. No, I haven't heard that one. Yeah. Unbelievable. You know, Seth MacFarlane was also meant to be on that flight. Yes.

You're a family guy. Yes, that one I have heard. How's this story? Just this week, Ducko. A deaf woman, she's walking. She's walking her dog. Just live in her best life. Where she's crossing a park, okay?

And her partner is actually on the opposite side of the park. She's making her way towards the car park. Yeah. We're out of nowhere. Unfortunately, an elderly man. man flying a small plane loses control. Something goes wrong with the engines. There's actually the, you know, the black box where they can hear like the Mayday

call. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's going around on the American news stations. He's saying, I'm having issues. I'm having issues. Like, I'm going down. I'm going down. I've got to land.

Basically, crash land. Unfortunately, oh no. He hits the deaf woman. No. She obviously did not hear the commotion happening above her. Everyone's like, everyone's just there going like, move, move. Careful, Austin. No!

Yes, the partner's watching from across the parking lot. Oh, wait, her partner was watching. Her partner's watching waiting for it because the deaf lady, do I have her name? Tiffany. Tiffany is walking along the path, along the park with the doggie towards the partner. This bloke is having engine trouble. He has to bring the plane down. He has no control.

He crashes in. Into her. Oh, goodness, me. So I plane crashes into her, and she survived. She survived. Now, look, she wasn't able to walk away. She did suffer a fractured spine and a broken pelvis. I'd like it noted the dog was fine.

Dog was all good. I don't know if the dog scampered away or he just wasn't in the crash landing zone. She saved the dog first, you know? I think so. That's unlucky. I reckon she pushed the dog out the way. If you'd be such a fright as well, if you didn't sort of, you know, know it was coming. It is literally come out of nowhere.

Yeah. And she's just been collected by this. plane. Look at the scene of the plane. Like, it genuinely is a whole small plane. And it's so unlucky to get hit by that small plane in that big park. Like, it's only a little plane. It's quite a large park. It does obviously call to mind that scene

in Austin Power, where it's like she could have stepped to the left but didn't hear it coming. He had no control of the plane as I said. Oh, goodness. Pilot in his 60s also survived the crash. Obviously, emergency service rushed to the scene. They extricate him. They get her to hospital. She's recovering.

Geez, imagine being her partner watching that, just trying to get her attention. I know. But it begs the question. Yeah. What did you survive? You were surviving. We've heard of planes going down, Ducko. I've not heard of plane crashing into pedestrians.

That's crazy. I mean, that is a story to tell. That is unbelievable. Have been hit by a plane? No, didn't think so. I have. 13, 1060, what did you survive? You got a surviving story.

Yes. You know, the bakery that you were standing in after you left, there was a gas explosion or something. You know what I mean? Just those moments where you go, I could have been in that disaster. Oh, geez. Unbelievable scenes. Unbelievable scenes. Crazy scenes. 13-1060. Are you a survivor? What did you survive? It may not be a plane. I doubt we'll get another plane one. You never know. I'd love to. What'd you survive? We'll get you on. We'll do it next.

Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. 131060. We're calling all survivors. We'll survive. We are celebrating you today, kicking things off with Tiffany Harrison. She's a young woman, young deaf woman, who was walking her dog, just walking across the park. I'm assuming they'd finish the walk because they were making their way towards the car park where her partner was waiting for her. She did not hear a small light plane malfunctioning above her elderly pilot losing control of his airfront. A deaf person in that park that that plane is going down.

It's going down. He has no control. of the steering, she's unaware of what's happening above her. There's like hundreds of meters either side, but he can't control it. It's a fully open field. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's just walking little tinkles. Mate. Jeez.

He crashed into her. Yes, she had a fractured spine and a broken pelvis and a large cut on her leg. But I must say, Ducko, that's not great. Yeah. That could have been a lot worse. Yeah, she survived and she's going to be okay. The dog is absolutely fine. The pilot survived. The pilot survived. She wasn't on board. The plane.

literally crashed into her. It was an elderly pilot too, you know. I know. He was fine. Everyone was fine. Emergency service has rushed to the scene. The partner has obviously spoken to the media and said, my heart dropped when I saw the plane genuinely like coming towards her.

I couldn't alert her fast enough. Yeah. She said it happened really fast. I lost power declaring an emergency. I don't think I'm going to make it. I'm going down. I'm going to pick a field. And that field just happened to have Tiffany.

I'm going to pick that field. That field looks empty. There's one. One woman. One woman walking her. a dog. But she survived. Oh.

And we want to know those sliding doors moments that have happened in your life. Les has called through. Good morning, Les. Yeah, good. How are you? Yeah, good. Are you a survivor?

Yeah, most definitely am. I got hit by a kangaroo on a motorbike. People go, no, no, you hit him. But no, he came to the side of me. He was, so it was all about the trajectory. But, yeah, many months in hospital, broken neck, broke your back. Jeez. So you're motoring along, Les, I'm assuming, at quite,

I can't really disclose the speed, but yes, I'm probably at a high velocity of knots, yes. Yeah, no, like as in for a kangaroo, they're not doing, to come out of nowhere and hit you. You know what I mean? Like off the embankment on a highway or something. So you obviously went flying through the air lers? Yeah, well, I don't remember a lot of it after the kangaroo hit me, but yeah, he jumped into the side of me, knocked me off the bike and next, obviously.

And how are you now, 18 months in hospital? How's everything now? Oh, yeah, I'm walking again now. They said I'd, well, when it first happened, they said I'd told my family that I'd be, I'd never walk or talk again. Fortunately, I... Here we go.

And here you are, Les. That's incredible. Well done. Thank you for sharing that story. Oh my gosh. Crazy. Kobe. Good morning to you.

Kobe. Oh, hi. How are you? I'm good. We're fantastic. Thank you, Kobe. I don't have anything to. contribute to a story like this stuff.

I never found myself in a situation. But Kobe, what happened to you? So we had our friends and their three children over visiting for the day. And we had just been outside showing them our new property. We had come inside. We were just hanging out, having a couple of drinks and just having some nibbleys. And where we're going to go for dinner. So I've gone to the bathroom, which is just off.

Oh, Kobe, we're losing you there. Take two steps to the left. Kobe, we just left you in the bathroom. Kobe. Damn it, maybe she went back into the bathroom. I'd love to hear a bathroom, miss that. She survived something, though. Damn it, get Kobe back, please, Babs.

Tanya, hello. How you going, guys? We're great, Tan. What did you survive? Well, this time last year, my husband and I and family were on Hamilton Island. and my husband thought he would surprise me for my birthday, a seaplane ride. It was absolutely beautiful until it crashed. Oh, geez.

Oh, my God. Engine trouble or what happened to the actual? No, when we came to land, one of the wheels did not retract up from the airport. So we had no idea. When we hit the water, I just thought, oh, it's a bumpy landing because I'd never been on a seaplane before. and within a second we were over and under the water and if it wasn't for the pilot we would not be here today oh my god we were seconds off gone

so then you had to get out of the plane while it's sort of going under yeah we was fully immersed with water so we were taking in fuel and water and yeah so I didn't get to have the champagne on the beach that my husband had organised for me I got a refund for the champagne Obviously, Tanya swung to shore and had her champagne then. I think you did a stiff drink after surviving that.

Well, yeah, it was quite funny because when I was the first one out and I looked around and there was a few boats around us and I thought, oh, which boat am I going to go for? And there was these big super yacht. And I thought, it was my only chance I'm going to get on one of these. So I'm going to go on to that boat there. I don't jump on that fair. Hey, Tanya, I just saw on a plane crash.

I'd love his champers. What have you got on offer? What are you on all? Tanya, that's incredible. And I said, who's got a beer? Yeah, 100%. I deserve it. I just survived a plane crash.

That is unbelievable. I bet you're never getting on a water plane again, Tanya. Hell no. No, that's a smart woman. We'll punish a bottle of shampers, though. That's right. Fool me once, shame on you. Flour me twice, shame on me.

Have we got Kobe back? Do we? Kobe. Hey, guys, so sorry about that. That's all right. That's all right. So you're with everyone. You're trying to decide what you're going to have for dinner,

but you pop off to the bathroom. Yes, I've popped off to the bathroom. as I've come back through the laundry, my son had a lithium remote control battery charging on the bench. And as I've gone to close the door coming back into the kitchen, the whole laundry has just engulfed in a fireball. So I was literally seconds away from being engulfed in this massive fireball myself, which then, yeah, the whole laundry was on fire. We had to try and get four adults and six. children out of our home while we waited for emergency services. Did the house go up?

Thankfully, I had a fire blanket and a fire extinguisher in our pantry. Oh, my God. That's a lesson for years. Oh, my God. But if you had still been on the tour, you would have been engulfed in the inferno. Correct. And I would have been on the other side of the fire. It was no exit.

Oh, my God. Jesus. A lithium battery shop. For the battery, it was exploding. That's lucky, Coat. I mean, unlucky, then lucky. Yes, yeah, to think what could have been. Absolutely.

Very lucky. Counting our blessings, absolutely. Amen, preach, Beyonce. There you go. Thank you for sharing, Kobe. They're incredible. I know, they're crazy. It's not your time.

Not your time, it's not your time. Jess and Ducko. Dougo, I need your assessment. Honest assessment. Is it them or isn't me? Here we go. I had a mate in town a weekend just gone. Mm-hmm.

I genuinely wouldn't have. seen Tom in, I reckon the better part of three years. We were really close, maybe in our early 20s. We actually started in radio together when we were both into community radio. Oh, yes. So I feel like we've almost got an origin story together. He's no longer in radio, but we had some really formative times. But, you know, life takes you in different directions.

He messages me late last week. Oh, my God, I'm going to be in your neck of the woods. He does live interstate. He goes, can we finally catch up? It's been one of those relationships where it's like, oh, you're around. Should we have a coffee? Oh, I might be there in three weeks, four weeks, two months. And you just never get around to booking in the time.

He goes, I'm actually in your neck of the woods. He was touring with a comedian. He's a tour manager. Okay. He goes, I'm going to be there. Can we see each other? I went, mate, you're not going to believe it. You've accidentally timed this with the big celebration for my two-year-old.

I would love to see you though You'll want to come to her party I said let me let me extend the invite Yeah come to my daughter's two year old birthday at a park Yeah He what he say Did not reply for about eight hours And I thought he's busy

He's managing this comedian, he'd be busy He replies the morning of the party He goes, hey, sorry I'm hung over And I went well you're awake He goes I'm not going to make it because I told him, you know, it starts at 10. Yeah. Messaged me like, nine.

I mean, when you're away, because I'm a hungover, I don't think a two-year-old party is where I should be. It's where I belong. It's almost like he's saying, you don't want my energy around the babies. Yeah, yeah. I said, okay, well, my parents will be in town, but I'm actually the next day,

carved out some time. I've got to drop my mom off at a bra fitting. Do you want to come with us, and then we're going to go hang out at a park while my mom gets the bra fitting? Either we can have some time in the car, maybe get some takeaway coffees. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or come to the playground. And again, he leaves me on red for about, I don't know, six, seven hours.

He's like, what's happened to this girl? We used to be friends with. He's going to have beers with. Yeah, yeah, we had some nights on the town. And this would be so, I could see you being like, oh my God, yeah, I'll just get him to come with me and my mom in the car and it would be so fun. Because what's the alternative? I go, no, I don't have time for you. So I'm trying to carve out these pockets.

And he just didn't want to. I think no's better. If you hadn't seen someone in that long. Because then he goes, oh, look, I've got to check out at, you know, 10 or whatever. And then I'm free till one, and then I've got to go to the airport. I went, well, great. It's the playground time. Why don't you join me for that?

And then he mess up. He goes, hey, I've got to make my way to the airport. I'm like, well. Hey, I'm done now. I'm not coming back. And when I do, I'm not messaging you. You were here for about 72 hours. Yeah, yeah.

That sounds like I had a good time. I got on the piss. Yeah, I had some good food. I think the show he toured was very. Is that him or is that me? Like, did I not offer? I mean, would you want to go to a two-year-old birthday if you didn't have kids and you hadn't seen someone in that long?

If I hadn't seen them in that long, yes. I would make it work. No, you wouldn't. You've got to meet halfway. I reckon that's meeting 90% your way. Shiger, would you like to go to a second birthday if you didn't have kids? You hadn't seen someone a while? What I said, and Babs agreed when we were there, it was a great time.

It's better if you have kids. Yeah, it's better if you have kids. But if we hadn't seen each other In three years Because you're not going to catch up I'd argue you'd see him less at that party Because you're seeing so many people You know what I've actually

I barely even saw you or Angus You know what I've had to apologise To multiple people who came Because I feel like I said hello to them And then I said goodbye to them Yeah exactly So he wouldn't have seen you He wouldn't know on that

And then the mum bra fitting With a coffee at a park I mean that's not every day You get asked to do that If he said I would have understood more If he said hey I'll just come in with your mum Mum to the bra fitting

And Lev you in the car I didn't realize When we dropped her off for the bra fitting the bra fitter had a pool and she's like, do you want to hang around? I don't bring my body swim. Imagine if I'd said that. Do you want to come hang out at a pool of the woman at my bra fittest? While mum gets fitted with her bras, you and me can have a little swim in the back.

Someone's got to watch the kids. He's like, is this an orgy? I don't know what's going on. What's she invited me to do? Jess and Duckow. You look at the time we are just about done here. What a program. What a program.
