Surprise Fries is back at Macca's with a one in three chance to win millions of prizes. Jess and Darko, this is the Jess and Darko podcast. Welcome everyone to the podcast. Great show today. Shaky start. When I came in saying I was rattled after that dream kept me awake, that shy guy has now told the whole network about in his station wide, stations wide email. He does a station wide email to say this is what's on the show. This is what's on the show. Globally available podcast. email. Yeah. Hang on. He does a station-wide email.

This is what's on the show. This is what's on the show. A globally available podcast. Yeah, yeah. But also. No, I understand that. But that run sheet. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, Deco.

That run sheet you send to all the networks. Just the other producers. What am I trying to say? All the stations in our network. Yes. So everyone who is in your role in every show in the CA. Yeah. Not many left.

There's actually only about seven of us. Well, that's very fair. It feels like a bulky email because of all the group settings of the two parts. It was not content.

It was just a little tidbit I wanted to tell my mate, Darko. The top of hour. The top of hour. I just said I had a dream that's kept me awake and rattled,

but I wasn't feeling particularly rested, that I was helping the problems in Russia and Ukraine. And Shy Guy put that on his network-wide email, which just makes me, I think, look like a fucking idiot. It looks very kooky.

Jess is coming in doing dream gear about how she solved the war. And it's on the board. They allowed it. Do you know what I mean? It feels like a radio 101. Don't talk about your dreams. Yes. If we saw that on someone else's, we'd be like, we're going to have a bad show.

We would judge them so hard. You're getting judged by everyone right now. But sweet Shy Guy, when I flagged it, he goes, I thought it was good gear, which I appreciate. No, that's just Shy Guy's way of saying, yeah, I put something in there. Well, you just want to bulk us out. No, so I usually send that pre-show, so I don't know what you're going to say in the opener, because I never plan what's going to happen in the opener. Well, that's why I was confused.

If anything, the opener's really the first break of the show, really. I have, in past emails, put what's happening in the opener because we never plan what's going to happen in the opener. Well, that's why I was confused. If anything, the opener is really the first break of the show. And it's funny because... I have in past, you know, emails, put what's happening in the opener if I do it after. And do you know what's funny? Because I just said to Ducco, I've never once looked at your email. No offence.

I know what's on our show. That email's not for you. Why do I need to see? Yeah, yeah. But this is the first time I accidentally... First look at this daily and see what he says about us. I think I need to. No one's...

He's making me look like an idiot. You know who replies? I'll tell you who replies. Who? Your friend, Ash. Oh, we love Ash. Oh, God. Ash probably would be like, what a loser. She's been in He's making me look like an idiot. Do you know who replies? I'll tell you who replies. Who? Your friend, Ash. Oh, we love Ash. Oh, God, Ash probably would be like, what a loser. She's been in radio longer than me.

And my friend, Lauren, who works in Sydney. Yeah. What do they say? They're just like, oh, good gear. That sounds funny or whatever. My issue is, Shy Guy, do you look at other peoples and go... Not intently. I'm looking at you right now.

Jess dreamt she could solve the Ukraine and Russia conflict. Okay, Jess. What a loser. My issue is, Shy Guy, what we were saying about how we judge other peoples. Do you look at others and go, what was the point of writing that down? You've given a two-word explanation of a personal rave with no context. What's the point of doing it? My favorite thing when the other shows write those emails is when they say they replayed a guest for like the fifth time this week.

Oh, why do people admit to that? Many other people's shows. How often you should wash your gym clothes is on Bernie and Emma G. How are you getting Bernie and Emma G's? SAFM. I don't get Bernie and Emma G's. I get everyone. I must be off a mailing list.

I think I'm on the producer's mailing list. You must be on the producer's mailing list. Would you like to know what was on Jimmy and Nathan's mailing list? What was it? Well, pick something out that, you know. When did your granny get loose? Yep. Which aren't bad ones.

What's your ugly privilege? Jimmy lets his partner win at card games. What does ugly privilege mean? Don't know. What do you want back? Nathan noise. It's like they're doing like a secret sound thing. Do you know what does upset me though?

And maybe this is why. Because I'll look at other people's but not ours. Yeah. When we've got the same phoner off something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That upsets me. I go, oh, we felt really creative. Yeah.

But more often than not, I don't see that from us. So well done us. No, I often see them have phoners after we've done it. It's a slightly different wording. Did they copy us? I don't know. That feels good. Listen, there's only so many ways.

Did what are you attracted to? ways. What are you attracted to? What weird thing are you attracted to? Ada Nicodemo was on a show again. How come we didn't get Ada Nicodemo? We rejected her one too many times. Albo was on this morning doing some radio rounds. He's your budget gift. I don't actually mind how often you wash your gym clothes.

It's been a hot debate in our house because Morgan reckons my gym clothes still stink even after I wash them. Really? Because I wear them the most and I exercise regularly. And how often are you washing them? Not every workout. No, I'll put them in the dirty laundry basket then I won't wear them again. Then I'll wash them once a week

or, you know, whatever it is. Oh, hang on. So you'll only wear them once a session but they don't get washed straight away. No, and she still reckons they're smelling. You know why? Because they're fermenting. Yeah, they are. So we've been given some, like, anti-smell stuff from like Woolies, whatever. Or, you know, I mean, with this weather being very unpredictable, would you leave them outside on the lawn, out on your line,

to at least aerate before. Before you put it in the washing basket. In the washing basket, it's fermenting. You're right. And all that smelly bacteria would just be like, I'm loving this. Going everywhere. Yeah, that's true. Shy Guy and Babs are giving each other hand signals like baseball players.

What are you going to interview now, guys? Who with? Oh, the producer. Movie director. Who? Cameron. I saw that on your email yesterday. He DM'd you and then we said it.

Is that now? Is that now? Fuck, you could have told us. How long ago did you book this in? Duck, I booked it in. No, no. We discussed it as a team, remember? I was going to say, we discussed it.

I don't know what's on for... I think I saw it on your email. You did not tell us today or last night about it. And I said, we talked about it before the show this morning. See, it's all just so same, same. It just straight over the head. There's a shame. All right, so what you're saying, wrap up the podcast.

We can do our interview. He sent Babs out. I just went to Babs and said, go call him. I was watching them do like these ones, you know, like... Oh, the hand signals. What's the wicket keeper in baseball called? You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The catcher. You know how they do the signals to the pitcher? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do the hand signals. That's what badminton is. Who's the catcher and who's the pitcher? I think you were the catcher because you were giving the pitcher signals. Oh, okay.

The instruction. Because as the baseball hitter, they can see if the pitcher makes a move. Yeah, yeah. Whereas you're behind them. Yeah, so you can't see. So it is like the two finger down, two the pitcher makes a move. Yeah, yeah. Whereas you're behind them. Yeah, so you can't see. So it's like the two finger down, two finger down, one up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Angle to the left because the guy's moving right.

Well, this will be a fun interview. We don't know what we're going to talk about. This is one of those ones I think we said that we might live on a podcast because it's very local to where we live in Newcastle. Absolutely. So we'll see how we go. Yeah. And you might hear it here on the podcast.

Yeah. Or? But today's show, very fun. And you might hear it here on the podcast. Yeah. Or. But today's show, very fun. You'll hear the push play the suggestions. If you have any, DM us at Jess and Daco or text us 048881069. If you are going to text, please put your song and then your name, because how will we know what your daughter's middle name is going to be if you don't credit yourself with the song playing at the moment of her birth?

Exactly. And don't just then text your name Luke. Please put it together so we don't have to do math and work out which number was Luke's. Because we get a screen that just has multiple things popping up. It's not like a phone screen. There isn't a thread. No. It's just hundreds of DMs and texts coming through.

Yeah. So put your name as well. Enjoy the show. Check it out. Turn it up. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Tuesday, baby. let's rock. Baby.

Let's go. I am exhausted. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. You're the one who tries to advocate for Tuesdays. And I just want to share with you why. I know we have a blanket rule. No one cares about your dreams. Babs and I hate Tuesdays.

So if you're jumping in the... No, no. I hate Monday night different. Okay. Because you know what I dreamt last night? You had a dream. That I was the ambassador trying to quell tensions between Russia and Ukraine. Wow.

Bro, I am exhausted. Wow. I genuinely have woken up in a tizz. Trump, I thought Trump already did that. Maybe it was a dream of me as Trump. I don't know what. Yeah. I truly woke up.

The alarm went off and I was in a daze. I wake up relatively fresh. Lucia's sleeping through the night. I'm good in a patch. This morning, I am rattled. It's like I've done another full-time job after we finished our full-time job yesterday. Vladimir, I'm listening to you. Vladimir Anzalensky.

I was in the middle of the, I literally was doing the whole... You know when you try and keep fighting boys at the pub apart? Hands up! It got physical. I'm trying to pull out all this diplomatic terminology. I don't even watch the news because I find the news depressing. Why is this in my head? That's funny. Why did that pop in there? Did you see something on your phone

maybe when you were scrolling? Maybe. I did do a before bed whiz and a little doom scroll. I reckon maybe something's permeated my brain. Interesting. So my apologies. I'm going to have to have a bounce this morning. Yeah, jump on the trampoline.

Have a bounce. Shake out the wiggles. Yeah. This bad juju. Because you're right. I try and fly the freak flag for Tuesdays. Yeah, you do. All right.

Yeah, because we all hate it in here. And I've come in. Shuggles jump on hating anything. He will. Yeah, yeah. And Babs and I just famously don't like Tuesdays. Babs rolled in with a mug a couple of weeks ago. F Tuesdays.

Yeah, it's a good one. F Tuesdays, you see? It's a blasphemous mug. I reckon if you were to study our show, Shaga, get the analytics on our show in terms of engagement and vibe and why do you do it, you'd find that Tuesdays is a huge dip. But we are the only ones in control of that. So true. So we need to be the only ones in control of that. So true.

So we need to be the pioneers. To get it better. To get it better. I brought the trampoline. What else can we do? I know. I was actually in a pretty good mood today for a Tuesday. And I'm sorry to have brought in my politico.

Yeah, no. Political nonsense. Someone's got to do it in their dreams. Someone's got to do it in their dreams. I wonder what that means. I wonder too. Are you trying to separate a fight in your real life? Is there segregation? You know?

Way to get deep. It could possibly be that. I love the deeper meaning. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me sit with that for a bit. A bit of internal fighting. Is there any conflict going on? You know, is that one person in your family you got issues with?

Do you know what? Yeah. I did have a little conflict yesterday. Yeah. I pulled Lucia out of her sensory class. Oh, early. No, as in I've cancelled the membership. Oh, she's done.

She's done. Is that Jamboree? No, I cancelled that one last year. Lucia's going through phases like you. Do you know what? I'm like, yeah. And you know what? Am I starting her off on a bad foot with commitment?

Yeah. She's going to become you. It's good, though, because anything with a kid, it just goes by turn. It's karate next. Hey, man. She should learn self-defense. I'm not mad about that one. She keeps going through my handbag and pulling out that alarm.

You know that personal alarm? Oh, yeah. Mate, the day she pulls the pin out like a grenade, that is going to deafen her. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We should learn karate. I can get rid of the alarm. That day will scar her forever. That'll be her first memory. That will be her first memory.

How did you lose your hearing? Oh, my mum carries around a birdie, which is a personal alarm. Do you ever think, like, is she going to remember anything we're doing right now? Do you know what I mean? Everything I read about the psychology of toddlers. Think of your first memory. Correct. I reckon my first memory is genuinely in year six.

Like, I can't remember anything. Yeah, it'd have to be north of three years old. Kudos to my parents for all those wonderful holidays they took us on. I don't remember. When you were young. But what I have heard is psychologically, this is not the language they used in these blogs, but like the good vibes and the good feelings, that permeates the kid.

So not necessarily the tangible memory, but the good feelings and the feelings of connection. So being ripped away from sensory class and Jim Baru. Jim Baru. Someone at our listener lunch the other day said, do you remember me? We did Jim Baru together. I went, of course. I have no idea. There's 50 people.

Oh, right. There's not. There's five. But anyway, but she goes, no, we went up to Kindy Roo. I went, what the hell's Kindy Roo? There's another film. There's Jim Baru and Kindy Roo. And what year do they start school now?

And Kindy and daycare? What's the order of proceedings there? It's so confusing. Kindy, first year of school, five? Okay. Six? I actually don't know. Six, yeah.

My mom put me in school at four years old. She obviously really wanted to get me out of that house. She wanted to get rid of you. She's like, go do puzzles at school. They're like way too young for it. So I was always way younger than everyone in my peer group. Right. So yeah, I think maybe six.

Six is school. Six is school. Right. So yeah, I think maybe six. Six is school. Six is school. Okay. But otherwise, we've got daycare to preschool to something else in between. What's kindy? When's kindy? Kindy's the first year of school. Oh, that's year one.

So technically, that's uniform. Why can't we just call it year one? No, that's before year one. Yeah, no, because it goes kindy, year one. It's so confusing. I know. And the Queensland school system in Dwyergaard was different. Same.

Victorian was different. Yeah, it's very confusing. We's so confusing. I know. And the Queensland school system with Dwyer Grove was different. Same. Victorian was different. Yeah, it's very confusing. We called it prep. You called it year one. Yes. So this is a question for you. When you get in an elevator on the ground floor, do you call that ground or level one? I like to call it ground.

Yeah, you know some elevators, it's like one. Yeah. It's ground. And then park, there's park and one. And you're like, do we skip ground floor? Not to mention you've got a rooftop car park. It's like, what Yeah. It's ground. And then park. There's park and one. And you're like, where's, do we skip ground floor? God forbid you've got a rooftop car park. It's like, what's that? Yeah.

Anyway, so it's all fun and games to navigate. It's so confusing. But yes, let me ruminate on the conflict in my life. Okay. Yeah. Something about who you're trying to. Oh, I love. Have you been seeing a dream interpreter?

It's really not hard to interpret dreams. It's quite easy. Okay. What's that dream? What does it mean about that dream Shy Guy keeps having? You know the one where... Snakes. About snakes.

Yeah. Snakes in his pants. It's pent-up sexual frustration. I'm not having any snake dreams. All right, mate. Where'd you get that from? Yes, and... Roll with it, Serpent Man.

How are you today, Shy Guy? Yeah, good. Nice. And Babs, how are you? Yeah. I'm good. Right. Feeling good for this Tuesday? Yeah. Any unresolved conflict in your life, Babs, how are you? I'm good. Feeling good for this Tuesday?

Yeah. Any unresolved conflict in your life, Babs? No, I had a dream that I was on a boat last night. A swingers cruise again? No. Okay, we're not just doing dream interpretations. Unless you want a session with Ducko and he can interpret the dream. I remember dreaming last night. Shago, do you have a dream?

I don't think I dream. It's just darkness. That's Shago every night. Shogo, do you have a dream? I don't think I dream. It was just darkness. That's Shogo every night. Just darkness. I went well into the day, can I say. Hey, it's going to be a good show. It's not going to be darkness here. We've got 10K off, like 6.30 and 8.

We've got my gift baby registry listening out for the crying baby. That's right. You could walk away with a Ninja Creamy and Slushy Maker. God, I want to make, I want to use that for ice cream. I just want to see what it's like. Yes, yes. Who was telling walk away with a Ninja Creamy and Slushy Maker. God, I want to make, I want to use that for ice cream. I just want to see what it's like. Yes, yes. Who was telling me they like the Ninja Creamy and all they do is freeze bananas and then put them in the creamy and it whips them up into a frenzy so it's healthy.

I think that's your PT kind of. I reckon it absolutely, because who else would be talking like that? I'm in. I want it. Anyway, we're giving that away. Plus, we've got a call of fame as well. Oh, jeez. We do. 500 bucks to spend online at TVSN. Hell yeah. I don't know how we're going to fit it all in. I want it. Anyway, we're giving that away. Plus, we've got a call of fame as well. Oh, jeez. We do.

$500 to spend online at TVSN. Hell yeah. I don't know how we're going to fit it all in, but right now, the internet is making fun of a man, and we're going to pile on. Yep. He's got a morning skincare routine that is wild. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko.

I wanted to introduce you to Ashton Hall. He is a gorgeous, gorgeous man. He is a fitness influencer. Okay. I don't know what that means. I guess you could be a skin influencer. You promote skin. Fitness.

He promotes fitness. Just him doing exercises in the gym and promoting it. The dude be ripped. Essentially, look. Do you have a photo of him there? The dude be ripped. Can you see his body there? Oh, jeez.

He's jacked. That can't be natural. Now, pardon me, shy guy. American, British. He looks British to me. He does look British to me, too. I don't know. He doesn't talk in a lot of...

Oh, he's a onesie. He's talking. Let's have a listen. A million followers on Instagram. God is good. God is good. He's got to be American. He's American.

Sorry. Hoorah. But he has gone absolutely viral, Ducko, for his six-hour morning routine. Now, on TikTok, he's obviously condensed that down. Don't worry. I didn't watch him for six hours. But he wakes up at 3.50 a.m. Love these.

Rivaling us. He's not a radio presenter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rivaling us 3.50. Now, that six-hour routine does include his gym session, some swimming, some meditation. Okay. But what people are really freaking out about, there's two elements. He rubs a banana peel on his face.

I've heard of people doing this. My mate used to do this at school. Are you joking? For his eczema and skin and rash and stuff like that. So your mate was the original. Obviously, Ashton Hall must have watched his video back in the day. When he was in the schoolyard doing his arms and we're all giving him so much crap. So he'd eat a banana for lunch.

And rub the peel on his arm. One day we saw him doing it. We're like, what are you doing? And he goes eat a banana for lunch. And rub the pill in his arm. One day we saw him doing it. Like, what are you doing? And he goes, it's good for your skin. It's good if you have like eczema or whatever. He'd have like sensitive skin. You should try it. Oh, you know how I feel about banana.

But I think my frustration with the eczema on the pitties would outweigh my disdain. I don't know if it's actually proven. I've got a banana too, so we can get some empty ones. I actually don't have a flare-up right now. Did your friend do it when he had a flare-up? I think so. I don't want to hold it. I just remember him saying it's good for your skin.

Can you have a look? Why is banana good for skin? I'm not saying my friend is right at all, but I remember giving him so much grief in school. He didn't put it on TikTok. So what's this guy saying? So this guy, let's find out. He is saying he's rubbing the banana peel on his face.

And if you have a look, his face skin is beautiful. Oh, he's doing it on his face? He's doing it on his face. He's literally rubbing the internal skin of the banana. So the mushy bit. Yeah. All over his face. But the other part, now the guy obviously earns a pretty penny.

He clearly has got some wealth behind him. He cracks open a bottle of sparkling water. And you think that's too early to have a sparkling. You've just brushed your teeth. You want to have a fizzy water. No, what he does is pour that into a bowl that has multiple ice cubes in it and dunks his face in the bowl of sparkling fizzy water. He's got the San Pellegrino on his face to keep it taut. Yes, with a bunch of ice cubes.

Now, I've heard the ice cube thing because cold therapy can be good for wrinkles and collagen and keeping everything taut. I'm not sure why he needs to do it with sparkling water. What a flog. And he's not talking in the video. He's not explaining anything. Why he's doing it. But everyone is absolutely coming for him, as they would.

Someone has commented, men used to go to war and now they rub banana peels on their faces. Someone else said, the second bowl of ice water being handed to him 10 minutes after he washes his face is completely frying me. So he's obviously got his girlfriend or partner off to the side who's like, time for round two. Oh my God. And you can see the bowl coming in being handed. So it says on the internet, rubbing banana peels on your skin, especially the inside, is believed to offer benefits like moisturizing, reducing wrinkles and brightening the complexion

due to their rich nutrient content, including antioxidants and vitamins. I mean, they're all the right words. Why I spend a mozza on potions and lotion. And you get these little bottles that are worth like a hundred bucks. That last a month. I can give you a banana peel every day if you want. Yeah, you can get this for like 50 cents. Yeah. No, no, she doesn't need to buy the banana.

We'll buy the banana show. We'll eat them. Ducker was saying he'll provide. I'll give you a peel. I'll peel you. Let me take your rubbish from you. Or we could start charging her. New business.

A dollar a peel. Hang on a minute. You just said you pay 50 cents. Why would I pay you a dollar?. I'll pill you. Let me take your rubbish from you. Or we could start charging her. New business. A dollar a pill. Hang on a minute. You just said you pay 50 cents. Why would I pay you a dollar? Markup, obviously. Obviously. We're all tough. We're not stupid.

We're all struggling. Everyone's got a side hustle. Jess and Daco. Right now, I need to discuss walking with the team. And this is a bit of an all-in here, because I think some of us might be walking wrong in this team. And we need to debunk it. I need to help your body and your posture.

It's not something you get taught. No, it isn't. It's just instinctively we stand up one day. Remember when we discovered Babs had a really funny running style when I made a run in the office? And I haven't run since. You have. You have.

Is that why the Jets coach went at you so hard when he came to your soccer training? Is it because you run funny? Yeah, apparently. Probably. It's like when you see people that are running and they can't help it. No one teaches you how to run. Why do we do swimming lessons but not running lessons?

You really could. There's so much technique involved to run well. Particularly running long distance. But Joanna Hall is a sports scientist and the founder of the walk active method claims that a lot of people are walking wrong. We're not even about running, walking. This is just walking. The foundations are wrong. So we learn how to crawl as a baby and then we walk and we're walking wrong. God, we're not even, not about running, walking. This is just walking. The foundations are wrong.

So we learn how to crawl as a baby and then we walk and we're walking wrong. We're on our own. We're on our own. She told the New York Post, we're all walking incorrectly. There's four things we're doing that are incorrect. First is we're using the wrong muscles. So if you're feeling a tight lower back, if you ever feel a twinge in your lower back, it could be because you're walking wrong, you're too tight in your hip flexors.

You're putting too much pressure on those hips. It's all connected, isn't it? Because if you've got tight hips, it throws off your back, but you just think, I've got a sore back. It's all linked up. No, it's all linked. That orthotics got so big. You know what I mean? Remember there was a craze where everyone needed orthotics?

100%. Do you remember that? And then all these brands, like Kim Kardashian was the face of Skechers with those god-awful ugly shoes that are like, these are great for walking. Yes. And they were about four inches platform thick with a rounded edge. Yeah, so it's like smooth. To help you, yeah.

Well, that does help because number two, which is what I want to discuss in this team, is passive feet. So PFS, sorry, passive foot striking is what it's called. Yeah. This is where the foot hits the ground more or less completely flat

instead of using the heel to toe. So basically, this is someone who would walk like that. In fact, this is just audio of Jess coming to the studio

this morning. I have told you. So this is Jess rolling into work and then if this is Jess rolling into work. And then if you hear me coming into work. I have told you. My husband has flagged the stomping. Yes.

Unintentional. PFS. Waking the baby. Yeah, yeah. Hey, man. Babs does it too. Haven't you been accused of stomping? No.

Oh, no, you accused someone. I accused other people. It's someone in your house. My apologies, sorry. So if you're not doing heel-to-toe, essentially, walking, and you're standing a bit more flat-footed like this. I'm a Neanderthal. Call me Encino Man.

I mean, no one expects you to run as fast as me. This is just me on a brisk walk. Yeah, but you're constantly on your tippy-toes trying to get more height. It's not fair. I've got little legs. There's not much distance. I'm just, I'm zooming around. See ya.

So apparently. That's why you're so lean. You're just burning energy all the time. I take. With your pitter patter. To three of your steps, I take 40. I'm Mongo and you're the gingerbread man. You should just.

There's our guy. You should just perch on my shoulder. I'll just... There's our guy. You should just perch on my shoulder. I'll get us there eventually. Eventually. Wow, wow. I can see everything from here. Until the king's men pour hot steaming milk on me

when I die. We were having fun. We were having fun. And then... Sorry, Jess. That's just far too niche. Sorry, I got swept up. I got swept up in Shrek 2.

So anyway, it says... Okay, so PFS. Yeah, PFS. It says it compromises the... That's problem number two. Yes, it compromises the ability of the body to cushion the impact and transfer the force. It jars and stresses your whole spine. Yes.

Number three is head position. We're all guilty of looking at our phones as we stroll along. Shy guy tech neck. Oh, the big tech neck. Big tech neck. If our head's leaned forward while we're looking at it, it strains the muscles in your upper back, limiting the spine's ability to rotate. And number four, which shook me a little bit.

So when you run, have you ever tried running without arms? Like it's really hard. No, absolutely. Because your arms do a lot. It feels so unnatural. Babs, go for a little run down the hall now without using your arms. Go for a little run. Come on.

Run past the window. It's going to start over there. Run past and not use your arms. Hang on. Hang on. I'm filming. Do it again. I know. Run past the window. It's going to start over there. Run past and not use your arms. Hang on. Hang on. I'm filming. Do it again. I know.

It's so visual. Do it again. So see, what you would have noticed there, Babs, is that is really hard for you to get any momentum because your arms aren't actually swinging and it makes it a lot harder. She's saying people do that and that's problematic because they should know that. That's not normal. So she's saying if you've tried to run without your arms, you'll know it's difficult.

It's similar and the same thing applies when you walk. When the arm doesn't do anything, you're losing the ability to have the whole body moving. So we really should be swinging. You should be heel to toe and swinging. Here I come. You're getting your foot out. I'm really going high up.

Anyway, good luck. Did you know sometimes you see people walking down the street and they've got the full orangutan motion? They're chucking it up. They're actually doing it correct. Yes. Wow. So there you go.

There you go. Babs, take notes. Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle. Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Jess and Ducko's 10K Alphabugs on here. Alphabugs. 30 seconds to answer 10 questions, all starting with the same letter.

Have to take your first answer. Cannot use the same answer twice. And if you're unsure of the question, say pass. We come back, of course, if there is time. We're playing for $10,000. So today's player, we go to Pete. Hello, Pete. Hey, mate. How are you? Oh we go to Pete. Hello, Pete. Hey, mate.

How are you? Oh, Pete, we couldn't be better. For a Tuesday, the opportunity to give you $10,000. Are you ready to take it off our hands? I'm ready to roll. Ready to rock. What do you want to spend the money on? I've got our daughter's wedding coming up in November,

so we'll go towards that. How's that? How's that conversation go with the financial split there, Pete? You know what I mean? Do you all split evenly? I mean, traditionally, isn't it? Father of the bride. Probably going to go four ways, actually.

Yeah, four ways. Fantastic. Okay, there you go. That feels much fairer and easier. That's how you do it. What did we do? We did the same. Thirds.

We did thirds. That's right. We did thirds, yeah. Yeah, right. That's right. You've got to do it that way. It's too unfair to put it all on the one. For the father of the bride, absolutely.

Well, that'll go a long way, Pete, for covering your portion. The letter that you are going to work with today, don't freak out when you hear it. It's O. Oh. Oh. Yeah. Oh.

People freak out when they hear the vowels. Oh, no. There's only so many words. Yeah. Let's start with the letter O. And we believe in you, Pete. Are you ready? I'm ready.

Let's go. Okay, your time will start after the first question. Starting with the letter O. We need you to name a female singer. Pass. A tree. Oregano. An adverb.

Pass. A zoo animal. A ring-a-ting. A hobby. Origami. A TV show. Orange is a new bloke. A cooking ingredient.

Orega... Pass. A musical instrument. Oboe. A shape. Ah, damn. Damn. Ah, damn. Damn, damn, damn. Oregano came up a few times.

That's right. Yeah, yeah. Is oregano... I just love it. It's not a tree. I don't think it's a tree. I don't think it is. What is that tree that he's thinking of?

Bonsai tree is a little tree. Bonsai tree grows. Are you thinking of a... You're thinking of like the herb. Absolutely. I guess it's a shrub. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah.

So, look, we got ourselves, I guess, like four. But let's go through them anyway, Pete. A female singer could have been Olivia Rodrigo. A tree, oak. An adverb could have been optimally or obviously. Cooking ingredient could have been oregano, onion. A shape could have been octagon or oval. Nah, not to be.

It's pretty simple once you say it, Lauren. Well, yeah. Hindsight, isn't it? I've got the answers. Without that timer in the background. It is. It's tough. O is hard.

Look, you don't go away empty-handed. How did it all suspend? At skin control. That can be all yours, or you can give it to your daughter or your wife or whoever you want. Hey, but a skin gym before the wedding, Pete. There you go. Why not?

That's good. Yeah, why not? Thanks for joining the show. No worries. Thanks so much. Jess and Ducco. Yesterday, we're building Morgan's. Yeah, why not? Thanks for joining the show. No worries. Thanks so much. Yesterday, we're building Morgan's Push playlist. We'll do this later in the show. It's not what I want to touch on fully now.

I've got my song from Obstetrician and Midwife, plus you guys show me your songs today. I love that. And then the rice cooker's tomorrow. And I want it known. I want it on the record. You can veto. If you don't think these are. Yeah, fair.

That's a good call. At the end of the day, you are the last line of defense. And I love that you've involved your community. But at the end of the day, you are the last line of defense. And I love that you've involved your community. But at the end of the day, you've got to keep your wife in mind. That's so true. And if Shy Guy bats up something that you think Morgan would absolutely hate, you know what I mean? Shy Guy and Babs are very proud of their songs.

Oh, okay. Then good, good. They're very proud of their songs. All right. Well, that's good. But there was something that the receptionist said to me yesterday that I didn't fully click with at the time and then it dropped. So she's like, I heard your show

today, like I heard the, as we're in there like leaving Thanks for listening. Thanks for listening, yep. She goes I heard the last bit and I heard you talking about a leaflet and a massage and I go Oh yeah, and you heard the part about us picking songs and stuff. And how I love you all involved.

And she goes, yeah. And then it dropped. And I remembered what we were speaking about at the end of the show yesterday, which was a little something like this. Angus got you that leaflet? Yeah, oh, yeah. No, Angus sent me a video. Angus sent me a video just of what the hand movements do.

When he dropped off the lawnmower. Yeah, yeah. Did he drop off the leaflet? He said, brother, come with me. You know, I went to his shed. We were at your house the other day. He took me to his shed. Yeah, Morgan and I were having a cup of tea.

He just starts getting two index fingers up. And he's like, this is how you do it. And I was like, all right. I wondered why he rolled the garage down. I'm like, what am I doing in there? You can't wear no pants on? Well, you've got to have a demo. You need to know what it feels like.

Are you sure you're going to try this on me? My perineum doesn't feel as... Oh, okay. Oh. It's not pleasant, is it? It's not pleasant. This is a great Ryobi. Yeah.

And I didn't put it together until I remember, because you know we just say things, and I completely forget what we say half the time. I'm in the zone. I'm in the moment. We're riffing. We're riffing. We're like a jazz band.

We don't know where this crap's going. I'm walking up the bass right now. You started a melody and I jumped on there and then you jumped on that and then I jumped on that and then Shy Guy jumps on that and then Babs jumps. And we black out. Exactly. Exactly right.

We do black out. You know what the biggest thing I took out of that is? He's given you the wrong demo. It's not fingers, it's thumbs. There you go. That's the biggest thing I've taken out of that. So really, he was given you the wrong demo. It's not fingers, it's thumbs. There you go. That's the biggest thing I've taken out of that. So really, he was just trying to pleasure me. Well, you're about to say the receptionist pulled you up going,

he's not the right person to give the demos if that's how he's teaching you. You can tell she wasn't, you can tell she's not a rice cooker. If she's like, I knew you were coming in today, I listened to your show, and the only thing she hears is me saying that your husband is putting his fingers in my perineum. So you can experience the perineal massage with which to then go home. And I was going to say, treat your wife. It's hard.

I could tell that she was like, kind of didn't know if it was a joke or not. Like she did. Is she a bit older than us? Because I was going to say, this generation, you know, we're all real close. We've got no boundaries, you know. That generation are a bit more proper with their friends. Us, we'll do anything with our mates.

Jess and Ducko. Customise your dream family home with award-winning Baxco homes. Ducko's Baby Registry. Ducko was left in charge of the baby registry and we all cast our eye over it, including his wife. We went, what were you thinking? What were you doing, idiot? What were you thinking?

None of this is appropriate. Yeah. So we're taking it all off you. I'm going to give it to the rice cookers. Yes. All they have to do is listen out for that crying baby and call 13 10 16. All thanks to the legends at Baxco Homes.

Customise your dream family home with award-winning Baxco Homes. As we've said, it's a ninja creamy and a ninja slushy maker today, Jess. Mate, these are absolutely fantastic. Revolutionise your home cooking. Oh, yeah. And your home enjoyment. Yes. Bit of homemade ice cream.

Next time you have a dinner party, you go, God, this ice cream's good. Yeah, I made it. I made it. My creamy. It's healthy. Absolutely. It's way more healthy than Neapolitan. I'll tell you that much more for you.

Someone who was very quick on the phones, the one and only, it's AJ. Congratulations, AJ. Thank you very much, guys. AJ, what was motivating you today? Why did you want to get your hands on the creamy and the slushy maker? Oh, my partner's been talking about it heaps, and we're actually doing 75 hard at the moment, so it's a bit of a healthy option for desserts. So I think that might be a good one.

Run us through 75 hard. Yeah, this thing sounds insane. It sounds hard. So we're not doing a strict diet as such, but we're no alcohol, no lollies, no chocolate, no takeaway for 75 days. And is it a thing where you have to work out twice a day? One of them has to be outside. You've got to journal.

You've got to read. That's right. You've got to read 10 pages and then do a 45-minute indoor and outdoor activity. Wow. Okay. So this way you can have a little treat. Just freeze some bananas and berries and then have some of the dessert. Oh, jeez.

You need this more than anyone, AJ. Oh, I'm stoked. Thank you. Is this through a gym or are you guys just doing, is this like a trend or something, 75? Oh, yeah, it's sort of like a thing. My girlfriend was heaps keen on doing it, so we just jumped on board and thought we'd give it a crack.

How many days? They say couple to 75 hard together, stay together. Stay hard together. Let's hope so. How many days are we into it now? I think we're about 50. We've got about... Oh, wow.

Yeah, two and a bit weeks left, and the day we finish, we actually fly to Bali. Are you actually... Sorry to ask you 100 questions. Are you actually feeling good from it? Like the no alcohol, the no sugar, are you noticing a difference there? Mate, I feel great.

I've lost a few kilos, and I've never felt lighter. Good on you. There you go. And he's learning something from the reading of the book and I'm sure spending more time outside. We should do a Team 75 heart. Yeah, can we make our own? The 45-minute outdoor activity is actually really good.

You'll be surprised. It goes really quick. Jess does that once a week. Hey, man. I go look for birds with my daughter. That's true. It's better than zero times. Thank you, AJ.

Thank you. Sure, I wouldn't go outside. Yeah, I was just thinking that. Focus on him. Not to go look at birds. Or anything. AJ, you enjoy that creamy. You enjoy it, mate.

It's yours. And send us some of the recipes that you make with your slushy maker and your ninja creamy. Congratulations. Perfect. Thanks, guys. Will do. Thanks, legend. Enjoy it. Good luck with the rest of the two and a half with your slushy maker and your ninja creamy. Congratulations. Perfect. Thanks, guys. Will do. Thanks, legend. Enjoy it.

Good luck with the rest of the two and a half weeks. Yeah, go get it. Hey, tomorrow, this is exciting. $1,000 baby bunting voucher. Once again, I feel like this will be quite useful for me. Yeah. Putting this on your registry made sense, Darko. Yeah.

But as I've said, if we were going to take one thing off, like the creamy and the plasma screen TV. Yeah. We had to take everything. So tomorrow that's going to feel a bit of a sting taking it off you. Yeah, it's going to be tough. Where do you do your best thinking? I'm thinking.

I'm thinking. I'm thinking. Thanks to Babs for that, guys. That's fantastic. I reckon she does her best thinking pre-6am. Oh, yeah. Because the stuff that comes out of her mouth. The juices that are flowing. The juices that are flowing pre-coffee for the young lady.

It's sensational. For me, though, Daco, over the weekend, I had a long drive to make. Yes. And often I find I'm a big podcaster. I love listening to music. I'll put the radio on. You listen to Jess and Darko podcast, obviously. Obviously.

I air check myself because how am I meant to improve unless I listen back to our own work. And laugh at your own stuff. Laugh at my own stuff. Go, oh, you know what? I could have said better there. Hit punchier. Take notes. Then you send me notes.

It's fantastic. It's a whole thing. It's the only way we're going to improve. But I often, as soon as I get in the car, put something on. And then I was driving for maybe 15 minutes and I just got this overwhelming urge for silence. And I thought I've got a long stretch. I was driving out to the Hunter Valley. So a long stretch there that I went, turning everything off. Wow.

And I got to tell you, I sat there for the next 45 minutes, pure silence. I don't think I've ever seen you have that much silence before. Dude. And obviously I was on my own. Yeah. So just, it was me, myself and I. Yeah. And I reckon maybe 30 minutes into this drive, the juices that were flowing.

Now, obviously didn't want to touch my phone, but the ideas I was having for our show, some content ideas, some topics I thought would be fun to discuss, including this very one. So I use, I'm very lucky to have Apple CarPlay, and I bombarded my husband. Oh, the text. Hey Siri, text Angus. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I hit him with a bam. Hey Siri, text Angus.

Hit him with another bam. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So much so that an hour later he was at work himself. When he checked his phone, he went, are you okay? He's getting all these messages. He checked his phone and had about 30 text messages from me with single idea, just thought starters, phone topics, conversation starters.

And I realised I blinked and was at my destination. And it was that scary moment of, have I been paying attention to the road? How did I get here? You know where sometimes you're on your rails or on your tracks and you go, I wasn't paying attention to the road. Like it was quiet on the roads. But I think solo journey over 45 minutes, it's where my brain does its best work. Where the brain ticks, where it fires up.

Where it fires up. What about for you? Is there a place where you go, geez, I came up with some gold then? Yeah, I got two. The shower. The shower. Because you do enjoy a long shower. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Just you, yourself and I. And you know, I can learn, like when I'd learn scripts and stuff like that, I'd pin them to the wall and I'd learn them in the shower. Because for me, it's my brain's- Did you laminate? Laminate and put them in the shower and stick them on there. It's my brain's way of going, you're hitting two birds with one stone, and it lets the dialogue process in my brain better.

As opposed to sitting quietly on the couch. Correct. Because were you at school, you couldn't sit at a desk quietly in your bedroom and study? Did you have to sort of be in motion? Yeah, or I'd need to do little increments and breaks. But in the shower is good because I can either do that, learn things, or I come up with lots of ideas. Yeah, what is it?

The water's free-flowing on you and you're just like by yourself and you understand things. I think there is a phenomenon about shower thoughts. Yeah. Isn't that a thing? Well, I'm pretty sure Chris Martin from Coldplay came up with some of his songs in the bath. Oh, there you go. I think Fix You is maybe in the bath. Does water encourage good thinking?

Possibly. Yeah. And the other one is running. If I go for a long run, with music, like I'm happy with music, and depending on the tone and the vibe, if I go for a long run, it's just you and your thoughts, and you can just lose track of how many Ks you've done and you start thinking. It's so much fun.

So even though there is stimulus going in your ears and obviously the work you're doing physically, your brain is still able to come up with great ideas. So that's very impressive. That's me for swimming. You know, I'm not a runner. But swimming, you've got nothing else to do except look at the bottom of that pool and the brain just ticking over, ticking over. I should

have said that in the argument. I should have done this. Let alone then some good thinking for work or whatever. Mr. Shy Man, what do you think? You'd be a car guy. Yeah, in the car. Just quietly? I don't need silence. Oh, so you can car guy. Yeah, in the car. Yeah. Just quietly? I don't need silence. Oh, so you can do it with stimulus coming in the ears. That's very impressive. But I don't think a lot, so. Oh, mate, come on.

So when you are dead and tired. Help us help you, buddy. Help us help you. I do my best thinking at work. Oh, there you go. Someone has just texted us. I don't know if I can read this out. Can you have a look at Brandon's text message?

Is that appropriate for this time to read out? Can we read that out? You can dance around it. Okay. Brandon has said, if you're not thinking straight, you're in pre-nut delusion. Therefore, you've got to change this to be in post-nut clarity. So we've got to maybe release. I see.

Tension. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Post-nut clarity. Brandon's just trying to work out how to get some. Yeah. There you go. Okay, that's where Brandon does his best thinking. If he's feeling maybe clogged up or foggy,

you've got to enter a state of clarity. I think you'll find all guys will say they do their best thinking there. Babs, where do you do your best thinking? Sometimes in the afternoon I just do laps around the house and just think. Just walk around your house? Yeah, that's when I think the best, when you're just kind of like walking around. Are you doing anything else? Are you cleaning or are you?

Yeah, cleaning or just like tidying. Yeah, just kind of like pottering around. Actually, doing the yard, I do something similar. If you're mowing or whatever or doing some things like monotonous... It's not funny. You can do stuff with lots of... Like a lawnmower. That's loud.

Yeah. That would take up all the... Be rattling my brain. Yeah. Well, there you go. 13, 10, 60. I'd love to know for you. Yep.

Where do you come up with your best ideas? Where do you get best thoughts? Best thoughts. Chris Martin in the bath, riding Fix You, Ducko doing the lawns, me on a long, silent drive. Shy guy not thinking. Shy guy just not thinking. Give us a call. We'll get you on to it.

Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. 13, 10, 60. We're asking, where do you do your best thinking? That actually could apply for Alphabox. You know, a lot of people call from the car, but if that's not the place you do your best thinking, maybe you need to get nude and get in the bath before you call us. That could work. I realized driving out to the Hunter

Valley over the weekend, it's about a 55 minute drive for me. I don't know why I was overcome with an urge for silence. Turned everything off. And I'm a talkative person, but you're a talkative person. Amen. And I love a talkative person, but you're a talkative person. Amen. And I love a podcast. And it's funny, usually, because most of the time when I'm in the car, I've got the baby in the back seat. And it's really funny.

She's quiet, and it's almost like she's enjoying as well. But then sometimes she kicks off, and you go, oh, you don't like this podcast? You don't like this song? Okay, we'll change it. Sorry. We'll put the Mufasa soundtrack back on for you. But I just was overcome, full silence.

It was me on my own. And the ideas that were flowing. I bombarded my husband with the Apple CarPlay. Hey, Siri, text Angus. Bam, idea. Hey, Siri, text Angus. Honest to God, by the time I got to my destination, about 30 texts I'd sent him. Someone has just text asked saying, hey, Jess, you know, you can text yourself from Apple CarPlay.

So thank you for that little tidbit. I can stop bothering people now. I contemplated texting Shy Guy and I was like, oh, that'll be just as annoying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll just text him. Yeah, all these weird things. And the weird ideas that you come up with too. Weird ideas which are like half thorn out.

I didn't want judgment from Shaga. I knew Angus would help me, you know, just take it. Flesh it out. You have said running. Running is a big one for me and in the shower. Yes, and in the shower. Yep. Let's go to Jake.

Good morning, Jakey. Good morning. How are you? So good, babe. Where do you do your best thinking? I do my best thinking in the car. In the car. I drive a lot to work and everything yeah, everything just comes to me.

Does it have to be a long drive for you, Jake, or you're pumping out a great idea of a 10-minute trip down the road? Yeah, no, I drive to, yeah, probably sometimes longer than others, but, you know, I travel the countryside a lot, so. Do you need music on or anything or do you need full silence like Jess? I just listen to you guys. Ah. You do your best thinking listening to us.

I don't know how you get anything from us. We are inspirational, Ducker. You poor human beings. I love that, Jake. Good on you, mate. Yeah, thank you. We go to Shannon. He's solving the world's problems as he goes from job to job. Yeah, listening to us.

Listening to us. Shannon, what do you do your best thinking? Hey, Rice, what about the original thinking seat, the toilet? Yes. Oh, the throne. The throne. Shannon, what about the original sinking seat, the toilet? Yes. Oh, the throne. The throne. Shannon, what was the last great idea? There's even a statue of a man sinking, sitting down.

It looks like he's sitting on a loop. What's the last great idea you had, Kumar, while you were backing one out? Mate, I make my own hockey sticks, so I think of designs and all that all the time. There you go. That's pretty cool. Well, you know who came up with a big company by the name of Apple on the toilet? Mr. Jobs. Steve Jobs.

You're telling me he was sitting on the toilet and went, you know what would be good? A tech company called Apple. Yeah. This is how hemorrhoids were invented, by the way, Shannon. Sitting too long. You're right. Sitting too long. Shannon's come up with hockey stick ideas.

Steve Jobs coming up with tech companies. How about this one? The inventor of Donkey Kong was in the bath. Okay. He came up with the character of Donkey of Donkey Kong was in the bath. Okay. He came up with the character of Donkey Kong while he was in the bath. Submerged perfect temp. J.K. Rowling was on the train for Harry Potter in Train Station and going along the destination, she didn't get off the train.

No way. Yeah, and then this is a big one. She must have been in the quiet carriage. Sure. Oh, you'd have to think so. You'd think so. Well, I think that's where she came up with the idea for Platform 9 3 quarters because she was at the train station and she was like... Oh, my God, to think so. You'd think so. Well, I think that's where she came up with the idea for Platform 9 3 quarters, because she was at the train station and she was like...

Oh my God, the Hogwarts Express. Yes. Yoshiro Nakamatsu, of course the inventor of the floppy disk, amongst other things. Absolutely. This is the most hectic. He would hold himself underwater until the point of drowning to come up with different ideas, because he said right before that moment where he thought he was going to drown and die, he would visualize an idea.

Hang on a minute. I thought for your brain to drown and die, he would visualize an idea. Hang on a minute. I thought for your brain to be working at optimal capacity, it needed oxygen. It needed blood flow. And yes, calm. Maybe it's like do or die under pressure. He just knows. Wow. So, you know.

All right, shy guy, tonight. In the bath. Up top. Yeah, yeah. I want to see what ideas you come up with. No one pretend to drown themselves, please. Now, don't do that. Yeah, don't do that.

You can ride a train and come over on the toilet, but we're not going to promote that. No, no, no. It's where the brain goes. It's where the brain goes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, thank you for that. No worries. Jess and Daco.

Year of the song. Shy Guy's going to throw a bunch of songs at us. We're going to tell him the year they were released. He's just told us it is National Cocktail Day. It is. So, raise an amaretto sour. Oh, yeah. And we're going to do songs about drinking. Yes. Song one, Beyonce, National Cocktail Day. So raise an amaretto sour. And we're going to do songs about

drinking. Yes. Song one. Beyonce, Drunk In Love. Very sexy film. D.I.L. baby. Rolling around on the beach. I don't know this Beyonce timeline. Is this the lemonade? Because she had Crazy In Love.

Yes. But then a couple of years later she got Drunk In Love. Who's this on the track with though? Is this Jay? Jay-Z. Oh, jeez. I like this song. Right and I must so forth. Right so forth.

Watermelon. This was before Beyonce became a country singer as well. It is. You're absolutely right. Jeez, this feels pre-Lemonade for me. I reckon I used this, or how's this for a reference, in a caption. Yeah. When I was in Byron Bay with my ex-boyfriend.

Stop it. So when would that have been? Okay, I'm in. All right, Zucko's in 2013. What did you say? I was 12. You're 2014. Correct.

The correct answer's 2013. Oh, well done. Zucko, go, go, go. There you go. Trat. Jake, one. One you go. Drat. Jake Kwan. One of the great tracks. Now, this to me is high school dancers.

This is a fan. This is. Who is it? Jake Kwan. Jake Kwan. K-W-O-N. What's he gone on and done? This is a one-hit wonder.

He's still getting money, I feel. Why would you do anything else? This is a great song. Imagine making a track so catchy and then just like, well, I'm set. He had a couple of other songs, but none did anything. I'm going to go. This is early. I think it's the heavy breathing for me.

How early have you gone? I've gone 07. I was going to go even earlier. 07 for Ducker. It might be. It might be. The correct answer is 04. Hey!

There you go. Wow. UB40. I love this song. Jess threw this out as a banger. I did. You know why? At my Uncle Fred's funeral, this was his song.

Was it? Because he loved a red wine, Uncle Fred. Uncle Fred did love a good red. He loved a red wine. Shiraz guy. Huge Shiraz guy, Uncle Fred. Uncle Fred did love a good red. He loved a red wine. God, he got one. Shiraz guy. Huge Shiraz guy. Far away, Uncle Fred. God.

It's got to be 80s, right? Oh, yeah. This feels very 80s. Like that? Whatever that is. Did you hear Babs on the bass? The bass is carrying this song. Slapping it.

Geez, I don't know. Neither. I'm going to have to take a full stab at this. Okay. I listened to my pen today. Anyway. You're not distracted either. Squeaky boy.

Look what I found. 88 for Jess. 87 for Ducko. The correct answer is 83. No points. Even earlier. It's still the test of time, that song. Yeah.

Song four. Oh, Chumper Womb of time, that song. Yeah. Thumb four. Oh, chumper one, boss. Badger's favourite. Tub thumping. Tub thumping. One of the times I'll get knocked down. I remember my dad and my sister driving me, well, dad driving me to primary school and singing this.

And you know the lyric, Pinsing my na-da. Yes. They used to change the kissing for me for my younger ears and they'd sing it really loud. I'll be honest with you, I didn't realise this was about drinking. Knocked down. I thought it was, like, about facing a challenge,

being knocked down and getting back up again. Well, I mean, that is drinking, isn't it? But there's a lyric. You have 25 beers, can you have 26? There you go. So I'm going to say this was... Thank you for the education. No, no worries.

I've got no clue. No, I think I do. I think I can get this. If you were listening to it in primary school, that doesn't mean it was just released then, though, does it? Could have been listening to it on Mix or something. Absolutely. That's a poorly done O2.

Okay, 2002. Oh, God, I thought way earlier. Actually, 91 for Jess. Yeah. The correct answer is 97. Oh! Oh, Too late. So this is for the win, this next one.

Okay, here we go. It all comes down to LMFAO. What a great track. Has to be. I thought Tipsy might be the king of the drinking songs. It might be this. This is after Party Rockers. This is definitely after their Party Rock time.

I reckon this was sort of the beginning of the end. Oh, LMFAO, yeah. I think Red Foo. the beginning of the end. Don't you reckon? Yeah, this is when Red Fu went on. What's the other guy's name? Blue someone? Blue Fu. No. Oh, someone just said 97 for Tub Fun because it was the other night's one.

Hell yeah. I should have put that together. Anyway, here we are. Jeez, when did this come out? Sky Blue. Sky Blue and Red Food. Because I remember Party Rockers. Yep.

I remember what year that was. And that was before this, you reckon? Yeah, I reckon Party. So I'm going to say. Oh, 12. Oh, crap. I've gone 12, but I could be well off the scent. I'm just, I'm pretty sure I was. Oh, God, I've got 08. 08 for Jess, 12. I've gone 12, but I could be well off the scent. I'm just, I'm pretty sure I was.

Oh, God, I've got 08. 08 for Jess, 12 for Ducco. The correct answer is 09. Jess wins. I know my sky blue, baby. Does that mean Party Rockers was earlier again? Must have been. They've been around for a long time.

Jeez, they've done well. And as I say about tub thumping, stood the test of time. Oh, great song. Great song. Party Rock Anthem was 2011. It was after. Well after.

Wow. We graduated school. There you go, guys. That's your episode. Happy National Cocktail Day. Jess and Ducco.

Big time right now in the world for TV. And I'm very much enjoying, can I just say, side note, I'm enjoying episode per week drop. Are you?

Yes, because you know what it does? You know what it does, Jess? What does it do, ducko? It brings pop culture and human beings together and we experience things at the same time and we're unified in our disgust or our love for it again. Rather than just, oh, shall I go and watch that whole series in a day? You've watched it day two, then I see it a month later. Whereas White Lotus, Severance, things like that,

that are dropping week to week right now, people are in it together. Have you had to retrain this appreciation or were you always happy about it? Because the shows like your Bridgertons, your Emilys in Paris, the ones that I got really my teeth into, they tried to do the cheeky, oh, we'll do a four and then we'll drop.

But I am so now out of habit of waiting and patience that someone who comes along and tries to do week by week, I get mad at them. But you know what's good about it is it's hard to binge. For you with a child and stuff, it's hard to set aside time to binge and then you feel like you're falling behind and spoilers will come on. When it drops on a Monday night or a Tuesday night, whatever it may be, and you know that comes and you have a couple of days to watch it within that week. And all you need to find is 45 minutes to an hour. That's it. It also gives you something to look forward to. And if you'll watch it with your partner or a friend, whoever it may be, it gives you

a little thing that week to look forward to and puts you together. It's funny to think of the generation who have grown up with streaming services who never had to wait every night for Neighbours to drop or once a week for their favourite show, The O.C., to drop. Neighbours to drop. No one said waiting for Neighbours to drop, even when it was on TV. Yeah, it was half an hour every night. I fricking loved to find out what Nick was up to and Tony.

That was The O.C., The O.C. dropping weekly. The O.C. dropping weekly. There is a whole generation of kids who never experienced patience when it comes to TV. So it's interesting now we have gone through both cycles. I think it just puts pop culture and human beings together again. You know that's why I joined the book club. Because the book club forced us to do that. It gives you a group, right?

It puts us all in the one thought pattern a little bit. It makes people feel like a part of something. Yes. So obviously White Lotus is on right now. You know I love that. But another show that I really enjoy is Severance. Not for everyone to understand. It's a divisive show. I'm seeing a lot of people post their stories saying, I don't get it. It's so confusing. It is a bit confusing. You need to sort of pay it. These are shows where you're not on your phone as well. You're paying attention.

You've got to be immersed. I won't go too deep into it, but Severance is now coming into mine and Morgan's life with how we get away with things. Life imitating art. Yes. So the idea of Severance is essentially you can get your brain severed and you are two different people. So when I go to work, I become my innie because your brain switches over and you don't know

who you are outside. I don't know who I am anywhere else. It's just I work with my colleagues and I do my innie because your brain switches over and you don't know who you are outside. I don't know who I am anywhere else. It's just I work with my colleagues and I do my job. Is the idea that you don't have a pull to like, I'd rather be doing X, Y, Z. When I'm at work, I'm at work. I'm at work. That's all you do.

You don't remember anything else. Then you go up the lift, you leave, and you go out and you're you again. And you don't know what your innie does. But what happens is the innies become their own people and yada, yada. Living their own lives. So Morgan and I have developed our own innies and outies. Without actually severing your brains. I'm not going to sever my brain.

So my innie, because my name's Nick, my innie is Nick A, right? But my outie's Ducko. So we get Ducko. Yeah, you get Ducko. But in your home, are you Nick A? This is when sometimes, like, for example, if I forget to take the rubbish out, or when Morgan notices there's divots in the yard from the golf club, she goes, why'd you do that?

I go, no, no, that wasn't me. That was Nick A. That was Nick A. Nick A did that. And then she starts cottoning on because her in is Bork and her out is Morgan. And Morgan are. So when Bork, you know, leaves something to soak but doesn't put hot water in it or detergent. And you question Morgan R.

Yes. She goes, that was Bork. That was Bork. And is that a good excuse for either of you to accept that and move on? Or do you still get mad at Morgan R and Nick A? You can get mad at a person who's not real. So it kind of does help the excuse. It's fun. You should try it. It's a pressure real. So it kind of does help the excuse. It's fun.

You should try it. It's a pressure release. You should try it. I like that. So if it wasn't me, sorry, I would have gone and picked the groceries up. But it was Nick A. He's a bad person. I don't know what he's up to.

He's so unreliable. He's very unreliable. I can't. So savvy yourself to your partner. Savvy yourself. Well, you can do it at work, whatever you want to do. Yeah. But it's really permeating our life right now.

I can't wait to see how all this continues when the little one arrives because it'll be like, does she also have an innie and outie? She'll be seven as well. Yeah. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Jess and Ducko's 10K Alphabucks on the internet. You have 30 seconds to answer 10 questions, all starting with the same letter.

Have to take your first answer. Can't use the same answer twice. And if you're unsure of the question, just say pass. We come back. If there is time, we're playing for 10K. We go to our player today, who is Shannon. Hello, Shannon. Hi, how are you going?

Shannon, we couldn't be better. We have the opportunity to give you $10,000. The question is, are you ready to receive it? Look, I'm pretty nervous, but my kids are looking in the car at me listening, so I need to try and make sure I do it for them. They ask me to ring every day. Is that because they've seen Mummy with some skills? They're like, Ma, you could take this.

We play in the car every day. And you do well. And they go, Mum, no one's better at this game than you. You should call in. Well, I actually told my husband to call do well and they go, Mum, no one's better at this game than you. You should call in. Well, I actually told my husband to call in and he said, my kids said, no, you're better, Mum. Shannon tried to pass the buck and the kids went, uh-uh, if anyone's going to win it for the family.

It's Mum. It's Mum. What do you want to spend the money on, Shannon? So my husband actually wants a new boat and I'd like to surprise him if I was to win. Okay. Oh, my God. The family's getting a boat.

I wish I knew boat brands better because then I could link it to what you want to spend the money on, but I don't. So the letter's H. Okay. H for happy sailing, Shannon's family. Yeah, sail on. Okay. I can't think of one nautical term that starts with H.

Anyway, Shannon, are you ready to rock? Yeah. High tide. Oh. Thank you so much. That's why I keep him around, Shannon, for that. Excellent. Yeah.

All right, Shannon, are you ready? Yeah. All right, your time will start after the first question. Starting with the letter H, we need you to name a type of flower. Hydrangea. A condiment. HP sauce. An instrument. Carp. A kid's game. Pass. A tool. Hammer. A film series. H2O. A chocolate bar. Hershey's. A city. Pass. A cleaning product. Pass.

A shoe brand. Pass. A kids' game. Sorry. You should be, Shannon. You should be. You were doing well there for a while. Really well.

You were right on top of the first three. We ended up with five. Yeah, thank you. So a kids' game could have been Handball or Hopscotch, Hungry Hippos, and then a film series. You said H2O.

That's a TV series. So we could have gone Harry Potter or Home Alone, a City Hong Kong, a cleaning product, of course, Handy Andy, and then a shoe brand. I love Handy Andy.

Babs' favourite, Hush Puppies, or you've got Havanas. Look, you don't go away empty-handed though, Shannon. You do get $100 to spend at Skin Control, so that is all yours. Perfect. Thank you so much. It's no boat, but if your husband ever gets a pimple,

you'll be all over it, don't worry. You got him sorted. I do. Thank you so much, guys. Thank you, Shannon. Thank you for joining the show. No worries. See you.

Jess and Ducco. 13, 10, 60. If you could change anything, anything in the world, what would it be? That's right. If there's something that seems a bit standard, you know, it's protocol and you don't like it, call us now. There's conspiracies building in the Kmart world. Now, as the admin of the Kmart Mums Who Cook and Clean, I know you've got your finger on the pulse. Yeah, I do. Is that where this rumour spurns? I just go in. I check Kmart Mums Who Cook and Clean. Yes. I know you've got your finger on the pulse.

Yeah, I do. Is that where this rumour spurns? I just go in, I check Kmart out, I just see how things are working, see how people are liking the various products. I love that. But I was in the other day and I said, I looked over at my wife and I said, whoever invented the checkout in the middle is an absolute... What do we think the thinking was?

So, this is what I want to get to, right? So, Kmart Australia, supposedly, when they made that controversial change, right, they moved the checkout central. It was to declutter the store, not have congestion at the front of the store. I get that because if you've got people entering, paying and exiting all in the one area, that's busy. However, Kmart stores are gigantic. Huge. Put the entrance at one end and the all in the one area. Yep. That's busy. However, Kmart stores are gigantic. Huge.

Put the entrance at one end and the exit at the other end. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And flow them out. Or even it's like, where do I pay for this? And you've got to look at that circular sign. Where do I go? And then you know what they do though? Not to beat you need the fitting room.

Where the hell are they? You know what they do though? That's how they also get you in other sales strategies. They put so much colourful candy all along when you're lining up. And you're like, God, I want that. I don't even like Hubba Bubba, but I've seen a Hubba Bubba go, should I buy Hubba Bubba? I want that thing.

Surely theft is so much more problematic if once you've paid and then have to walk through half the store. No wonder you need that 16-year-old stand. Yeah, it's a scan, you docker. He's always a bit like, can I take your bag? He looks in for half a second and lets me go. Doesn't care. I'm not stealing, but what I'm saying.

Apparently, it's known as the Plan C format, has long been at the centre of sales strategy debates. It is thought to add an average of three minutes in store time for customers because either A, they get lost. For temptation. Or B, they don't know what to do. And then they see that cheap dress for $10 and they go, maybe I will buy that. They're just manipulating us.

However, so many complaints coming into Kmart Australia that apparently sources inside Kmart have revealed they are going to move the unpopular central checkouts back to the front. We're getting rid of them, babe. It's a win for the good guys. That is a win for the good guys. Actually, good guys, another one a win for the good guys. Actually, good guys, another one, usually not near the exit.

Is it not? When I worked at the good guys. Yeah, we know about that. Yeah, our register was a good 10, 20 metres from the walkway. Bad guys. From the entrance. Yeah, interesting. Now I'm trying to think about other good guys.

They're always tucked away. Is Tajay similar to Kmart in terms of, or is it just Kmart with it in the middle? JB Hi-Fi has it in the middle. They do. Or at the back. Which again, a lot of stealable stuff. Why would you want people walking past CDs and DVDs? Are you going to walk out with a 50-inch plasma though? It's so, and then you've got to line up.

So you've got your boxes full of things from Kmart. The other day we had so many things. Then we got drawers and something for the baby. Yes. And we're lining up in the middle with all of those. And then you pay for it. Then you've got to get them out of the frigging store. Yes.

It's ridiculous. It is a weird, and it's funny that one psychologist was like, we can keep them in store longer. Put your registers there. Yeah. Sales will go up. But at the end of the day, you're just making the customers unhappy. What about Meyer and David Jones?

You can never find a register in those stores. Even though there's 50 on the floor. They're in every department, but where are they? And where are the people that work there? Where are the people that work there? The number of times I've tapped someone on the shoulder, can I pay for this? They go, I don't work here.

I'm like, I'm sorry, you're wearing all black, I assume. And in the fitting rooms. Do I go into those fitting rooms that are here in front of just jeans or do I go all the way over there? The number of times I've seen blokes be like, is this a year? Yeah, what do I do here? Nothing's more awkward than walking and seeing a girl come out and you're like, here are my hands. It's 2025, this is unisex, right?

I don't know what to do. So what are you proposing, Ducko? What do you want to change? 13, 10, 16, the people are listening. We are the people show. If you could change anything, what would it be? Can I offer mine? Absolutely.

It's not going to surprise you. It's in the restaurant world. Don't offer to put the Parmesan on for me. Leave the cheese and walk away. Would you like Parmesan, man? Don't I often say, let me know when to stop? Yeah, but the judgment I get when I haven't said when and they stop before I've said when. Because there's no cheese left.

They're just grating their hand now against the grater. Put the bowl down and walk away. You can do pepper. I don't need the pepper left on my table. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The cheese. Okay. I'll be in charge of that distribution. Thank you.

Similarly to that, sauces should all be free. Oh. Come on. Let's put that on the table right now. We have talked about this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The 50 cents for the Master Food Squeezy, un-Australian. Un-Australian.

It should come as standard with your pie, pasty or sausage roll. Can I offer another one? Please do. Huge to me. Wool do. Woolworths and Coles, a self-service checkout. Nothing pisses me off more than the self-checkouts when there's one... But they're at the front of the store, what's wrong? So there's one person walking it and often

they are such sensitive machines that it thinks I've scammed my bananas for my apples or whatever it may be and then your little red light goes on and then you're just like trying to get their help and then what happens? You're trying to wave them there without being rude. As they're walking to you. Someone else who's next to them goes, excuse me. And then bang, you're two or three people behind now.

God forbid you're tucked into one of the corner ones. They will never. You know what I'm getting flagged with a lot? When I take Lucia through and she's in the trolley, I get pinged as you've left something in the trolley that you haven't paid for. And I get pinged. Scan her. Someone literally came being like, oh, they want you to scan the baby. I'm like, let me out of here. Let me go. Press your for. Pay for her. And I get pinged. Scan her. Someone literally came being like, ha-ha, they want you to scan the baby.

I'm like, let me out of here, please. Let me go. Press your code and let me go. She said that many free things. She should come with a barcode. She's eating the grape. She's pulling the bloody bananas, whatever it is. So what I suggest they do with that is you get like an order.

So when you go to your thing, it knows, okay, you're number four in the queue. So then the people can see the order. So they know that there's an actual order if there's something wrong. Hello, deli counter. Let's get the deli counter. So true. We need the deli counter.

We need the deli counter to check out. So maybe there's a little screen that pops up. Bing. Yep. Number one with the problem. So if you get bing second. Exactly. It says number two.

I've got to go find number one. Yes. I love that. Shaga, you got anything for us? Yeah, when you cross the road, sometimes the man isn't green for long enough. Oh, yeah. And it starts flashing at you. And then I get stressed because, you know, people love to go through.

There is one intersection near where I live. Unbelievable scenes. Yeah, it's quick. No, timer. It flashes down from 20. So you know. Oh, that's nice. 20.

You're lucky, T. That's what they do. They should do that all the time. I like that a lot. 20. Yeah, like the team. That's what they do. They should do that all the time. I like that a lot. Yeah. Babs, do you want to change something? Yeah, I think they should make soundproof toilets. Did you just hear me in there?

Was that you in there? I just think it would just alleviate a lot of stress. Yes. That's not a bad call. Partitions and doors. Why there's a gap in the bottom? I don't know. I think it's because if you lock yourself in, you can get out.

And also, to quote my mate George Costanza, as a backup mechanism if the door breaks. Yeah. So you can see under his feet. See under their feet, yeah, yeah. 13, 10, 60. Like our ideas. If you could change anything in the world, what would it be?

What would it be? You have full power. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. Doing a full investigation right now because whispers, Jess, say KM on Australia is moving the controversial and widely unpopular central checkouts that are in the middle of the store, in the centre, back to the front. And you've revealed as well that, you know, marketing and consumer behaviour experts

have said it's a way to keep us in store longer. Yep. To catch our eye on something where we go, you know what, I will add that to my shop. Three minutes longer it keeps you in store. Three minutes longer. Because you're probably lost half the time. Absolutely. You're like, I will go look at that $11 shirt.

Yep. And add it to my purchase. And shiny sugary treats all line through the checkout. You know what? This is so embarrassing. You know what I bought the other day because I was stuck in the middle section of the Kmart checkout? A book of crosswords.

See, they got you, though. If you never did that. You know I'm obsessed with brain training, so I stave off dementia. I'm like, yes, I do need that book of crosswords. You know how many crosswords I've done? One. It's about 100 pages long, this thing. You may as well have got the Hubba Bubba tape.

I may as well have. Probably would have got more joy out of it. But I love this. Yeah. If you could change one thing in the world, you had complete power, what would it be? Yeah. Sophia's message here.

04-888-106-9. On the text line, bring back the man at the servo that fills your car and then lets you pay for it without going in. Oh. Yeah. Talk about luxury. Yeah, that would be so good. I love that one, Sophia.

I'd also like to add, you know, there's not too many instances where I work with cash, but I go to the farmer's market every Sunday, so it's a big cash-heavy community. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Put the coins in my hand first before you put the notes in my hand. For some reason, some retailers want to put the note and then pile your coins on top. On top of that. I want a universal rule. Hey, hold it.

Coins in the palm first. Melanie messaged in saying, my son was actually saying this morning he wishes there was no such thing as money so people couldn't be poor or rich. Oh, wow, Mel. It's a great philosophy. That's a compassionate young man you have there. Usually people always find a way.

We go to Kelly on 131060. Kelly, good morning to you. Good morning. Oh, Kelly. Kelly, good morning to you. Good morning. Oh, Kelly. Kelly, you ray of sunshine. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be? Look, I'm going to have the environmental greenies like shooting me, I'm sure. Don't want the snipers out.

Yep. But the goddamn paper straws. They aren't very good, are they? Give me strength when I drink. Like I said, just the most stupidest, idiotic. It just feels bad in your tongue. It does. It does feel gross.

I'm a straw chewer as well. And you only need one little nibble on that thing and you're eating it. Yeah. You're up a shit creek without a paddle. Even just metal straws, you know, in the universe. I don't know how they can. Yes. Or BYU.

You know whoever does Keep Cups. I'd rather BYU straw. Oh, in the universe. I don't know how they can. Yes. Or BYU. You know, whoever does keep cups. I'd rather BYU straw. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. That's nice. We keep them in the back pocket. Back pocket straws. With your moustache comb.

Pull out your reusable straw. Use it. That was great. I was like, oh, good. Oh, good friend of the show, Glenn. Good morning. Good morning, legends. Brother, if you could change anything in the world, what would it be?

So this is a restaurant-based one for you, Jess. Yes, talk to me. Steak knives should be standard with sourdough. Yes. Very good. I'm sick of looking like I'm having an epileptic fit trying to cut sourdough with a bread knife. Yeah, how close are you to just picking up the whole thing

and shoveling it in with your hands? Oh, I do, and then I need dental work. Yeah, yeah, it's hard. And also, those half-ton of butter knives are so blunt, they barely can cut anything. Absolutely. Glenn's trying to enjoy his big breakfast, and he can't get it in. Hashtag steak knives with sourdough.

Steak knives with sourdough. That's very good, Glenn. We love it, Glenn. That's right on target. People getting it. We're just trying to make the world a better place. That's what we're trying to do. That's what we're trying to do.

Starting with Kmart. I'll be your ear to the ground. Because you did say these were just rumours. These are rumours. I'm going to need to know. So I got today, you and me, we're off to Kmart to just check all of this out. And then while you're at it, pop into Maya. Boys trip. Jess and Ducko.

Yesterday we discussed Morgan's Push playlist. So we want to include everyone, you guys and the rice cookers and some of our family members, to put a song in that we'll be playing when we go in in a couple of weeks' time for baby to come out. And whoever's song is playing in the moment or closest to- Gets to name the child. Well, not confirmed. Oh, sorry.

Middle name, you said. We'll win a fridge magnet and a jizz bit. But the next best thing, really. The next best thing. You're absolutely right. And I think in that moment, it's a hell of an honour to have known your song, your chosen song in Morgan's Push playlist was the one that your daughter took her first breaths to.

It'll be a big moment. People are already DMing us with stories of what song was playing. One woman even saying, my speaker failed in the moment of that final push. So our obstetrician just started singing. Dreams by Fleetwood Mac. And now it holds a very special place. Him down there singing while looking at that. I love that moment.

Oh, it's broken. That's all right. What song do you want? Dreams? Dreams. Okay, here I go. And he just started singing. So I will get next your songs.

Yes, we've got some suggestions. Plus my obstetrician and midwife song. We're going to get theirs on. But this is what Morgan said when I said, what are you looking for in a push playlist? And this is what she had to say. Well, I'm not really sure. I think I will want definitely towards the end.

I think based off the births that I've been a part of, it's already so hectic. I think I'll just want chill music. Okay. But I could potentially want some pump-up music at the beginning, in in the early stages are the players you normally see in the hospital pump up or chill chill okay so you might want chill yeah now are there any songs that are absolutely no goes like you will not allow it on um no nothing's coming to mind anything anything goes all right any anything goes and she went to veto that by saying, actually,

I couldn't get it recorded again, but she doesn't want Screamo or Country. Are you just saying that? No, I promise. I promise that's what she said. I promise that's what she said. Alright, so Rice Cookers, take that on board as you ruminate as well. I think my suggestion isn't

chill, but I definitely ticked the first part for that pumper. We've had not any chill suggestions so far. Fair. Okay, so we're going to get your suggestions on next. I'm looking forward to this. Jess and Ducko, Morgan's first one on the playlist. That's right.

Collectively, we are going to help Morgan push this baby out. Yep. T-minus three weeks. Yeah, yeah. Unbelievable. I'm glad you all get to be a part of In The Room. This will be fun. This will be fun because I wanted to flag, and I still will flag,

maybe a little bit later. You know, I put Shy Guy in charge of ambience for Morgan. Yeah. That feels like a weird stretch. It does feel like a weird stretch. But I was worried. I'm like, ah, is that going to be enough? But now we've got music playing a vital role in the birth of your child.

My next step is getting a DJ in there to play the music. Full decks. We know a few. We know a couple. We know a few. We do a couple social media posts for them. Why not? You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.

So I met with my obstetrician and midwife yesterday. We did, sorry I should say. Just you? Morgan was there. How is everything? All possible. Everything's good. Beautiful.

Ticking along well. Everything's looking great. We told them about this and they were very, very excited about it. So my midwife said she had this playing when she gave birth to one of her children. She said it helped. ACDC shook me all night long. Oh, that's an excellent contribution. It's a great one, isn't it?

So Brooke got this on the list. That's on the list now. She's added it to it. Morgan has specified she's feeling maybe a bit of pump up in the early stages. And then as the child erupts from her body, it might be nice to just tonally bring her back. I feel like this does both. It does. It's a good song.

When she said ACDC, I was like, yes. Oh, that's fantastic. Then we asked our obstetrician, Malcolm, and he had that right look on his face, a little smile. And he goes, oh, how about a bit of black-eyed peas? Let's get it started. Again, it's not in your face, but it's enough encouragement. And you already said, because I can also maybe manipulate this. I can get it started a bit quicker.

Okay, he wants the glory. He wants that jizz bit. They all want to win it They all want to win So they're locked in for them Okay, because we are going in shuffle Yes You know, it's not going to be in order

It's in shuffle So now we go to your songs for the playlist Who wants to go first? I'm happy to go first I spent a lot of time on this, Ducko As I told you, I did not have a push playlist Because I read too much meaning into stuff But I thought, what would I want my daughter to be born into this world?

What would push me over the line, get me over the line, feeling my most powerful womanly self? Oh, yes. Proud of my body. Oh, here we go. And I couldn't go past the pop banger, Katy Perry. I didn't see this coming from you. But you know what?

This works. Because before that epidural kicks in, Ducko. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It hurts. You're going to hear Morgan rule. Yeah, true. And I just feel like the crescendo. I'm getting goosebumps, man.

The crescendo. You want to push now. Of her being able to push to that big, the big vocals of Katie. Yeah, I think she'll like this. I reckon that'll help. Katie's best. She can even the big vocals of Katie. Yeah, I think she'll like this. I reckon that'll help. Katie's best. And then she can even do the breathing of the ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. I'm glad you didn't go for any of Katie's new stuff because I'll have to love it.

No, thank you. Okay, that is all. Well done. Thank you. Let's go to Shy Guy. Yep. Mine's more for you, I think. Yes, person to focus on.

No, no, no. It's for both, but Darko, I think, is better suited in a mindset. Yeah, I guess. Yeah. From High School Musical. Get your head in the game. Get your head in the game. What?

The soundtrack. Darko, how do you feel about your daughter being born to a High School Musical? To a Disney hit, man. It's like Efron Singh, get your head in. Technically, she's getting her head out of the game. Yeah, but Darko's got to get into the game to help her out. No, I meant the kid. I'm there going, Morgan, Morgan, get your head in the game.

That's right. Can you be wearing a basketball jersey? This has taken me by surprise. And you know what's funny about this? We'd never have it normally. But now when it comes on, we'll look each other and go, shy guy. If your kid comes out to this, you've got to put her in basketball camp straight away,

first and foremost. All right, it's added to the list. It's a diverse playlist. I love it. That's what's fun about it. Yes. All right, Bads. Now, we know you've taken this seriously.

Yes, this is my mowing lawn anthem too. Oh! Yeah. From one head to another. This is a good track. This is a good track. I like this because you could genuinely be asking Malcolm the Obstetrician, where's the head at?

Yeah, yeah, where's the head at? It's crowning! It's crowning! It's coming! Oh, this is good, babs. Where's your head at? And I know Morgan does like this song. All right, that is added to the playlist.

Three very different songs. This is an eclectic playlist. So what we'd like to do now is get your submissions. Yes. Because as we all know, labour can last longer than five songs. We need more. Morgan said we should up the Rice Cookers intake of songs because there's going to be a lot of songs.

We're going to need potentially a few hours. So DM us, Jessanducko, on Instagram. Text in 0488881069. We'd love to hear more stories about the song that was playing as your child entered the earth. Yes. And if you're happy about it. We've already got some messages saying I'm not happy about the song.

Oh, that's funny. So don't include sticky fingers on your playlist. Someone said that. All right. DM us, text us. So let's take them over the next 24 hours. Then maybe we'll even open the phones tomorrow. Yeah, I love it.

Oh, this is a great, wow. And then maybe you can make it public and people can go forward using Morgan's push playlist. That's a bit of fun. Yeah. Anyway, I'm off to have a baby. Hell of a show. Hell of a show.

If you missed anything, our podcast lives on the listener app. We are being inundated and we love to see it. 0-4-8-8-8-1-0-6-9. We are putting together Morgan's push playlist. The Alan Duckerts expecting their first daughter less than three weeks away. Yep. And Morgan has said, right, I need some ambience. Oh, yeah.

I need some pump up, but I also need something that is going to be the first thing our daughter hears as she enters the world. People are loving it. It's a huge one. It's a huge one. Yeah, yeah. I mean, you can be the unofficial godparent if you get this. Absolutely.

You know what I mean? And I'm working on getting your naming rights. Don't worry. Possibly. I'll wear him down. We'll hyphenate the middle name. You know what I'm disappointed you didn't choose, Jess? Talk to me.

Hello world. If you did Saddle Club, my goodness. I am just going to put that off. I'm just going to edit that. So we're getting all your texts in. Hello World Saddle Club. We're friends with Lisa. We could get her on.

We could get her on. Live rendition. You know who we're also friends with? I'm surprised you didn't put this on your list. Yeah, me too. What was your nomination? Oh, The Lion King. My nomination is...

God, I hope that is playing the moment you pull her out. And we lift up the baby together. Have we landed on that? You are going to pull her out? Yeah, well, I'm going to... You're going to be down the business end? I'm going to tell you what I'm doing the next couple of days. Okay. I don't know if you've ever heard of something called hands on hands.

Hands on hands? I have not. Well, stay tuned. Wow, I won't look it up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got to eat this baby content out. Otherwise, you know, people are going, do you want to do it? I don't know.

You only get this time once, you know. It's happening right now. But I've got a lot of funny intakes about it. But what I'm doing is, yeah, they had to then tell obstetrician, yeah, we've got one who wants to do hands-on-hands. We had to have a chat about it. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

This isn't in the realm of mother-assisted birth, is it? I don't think so. Oh, okay. I don't think so. But I'll unpack it with you. We'll find out together. Tomorrow or the next day. Oh, you know, I love any involvement.

This is great. Tanya said on Strawberry Kisses. We can add it to the list. Oh, so Tanya has now said it. Oh, for a double-A, double-A1069. Texting. You can text in all day as well. We'll see these tomorrow morning. We'll come back in. I think Tanya also nominated said it, so I'm going to write it. 038-888-1069. Text in. You can text in all day as well. We'll see these tomorrow morning when we come back in.

I think Tanya also nominated Thunderstruck by ACDC. Tanya is full of... One song, please. One song. Eye of the Tiger's good, too. That is great. It's a great one. Put your name in, too, because otherwise how do you win the prize?

Yes, please do put your name in because Ducko's going to have a laminated sheet of paper with your name and number because how are you going to know? So when the baby comes out and Morgan's pushing her, right, and we just finally see her head, we finally grab her out, I go, honey, this was Tanya's song. Tanya Gray messaged us this. No, I love the idea because I obviously get middle name naming rights, so you'll call your daughter, insert name, Mattie from Brisbane

because Jump Van Halen was playing at the time she erupted. What a track. Mattie, welcome to the show. Welcome to the show. Also from Brisbane. Must be listening on the Listener app. Yeah, always. You can always do that.

If you're missing the show, grab it there today in the podcast. Okay, guys, if you're just texting your name now, please go and write your... Then don't text your name without the song, okay? We need... I want the full thing. Please don't make me work harder and have to bear it with your earlier message.

No, Hayley. No, Hayley. No, Hayley. Hayley, you just said Hayley from Cops. I don't know what you want. Can we have a second for Hayley's surname? That might be the best surname I've ever seen in my life. Cheese Man. She's the Cheese Man.

I want to change my name. Middle name Cheese Man. That should be your daughter's middle name. Oh, God. See, this is why I can't give anyone. Talia, what song do you want? Don't just write. Stop just texting us.

Text us your name and your song. Anyway, we're going to get more of these on tomorrow. Plus, we're going to get your calls as well. What was playing when you were a child, Dick? It's a whole thing. This is fantastic. I love the passion from everyone. Thank you, Shannon.

Thank you, Jason. She's just sending her last name. They know what they're doing. They're on gear. This is great. People are invested. Someone just said, I laboured my first song for 12 hours to hit R&B Fridays. Are you joking?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sammy B. There you go. Well, there you go, Sammy B. Jeez, man, we've never had this many text messages before. This has gone wild. Text in all day. Keep texting, you know?

I want my name against the note that says, Jessie told me this. All right. Well, what song do you want? Anyway, we'll unpack this for tomorrow. Anyway, this is great. Luke, don't just put an arrow facing up. We're getting a hundred messages, Luke.

His thread looks different to our thread. Anyway, we're out of here. We'll see you tomorrow. Bye-bye. Bye. I had a dream that I was on a boat last night. I don't think I dreamt. It was just darkness.

Jess and Ducko. That was the Jess and Ducko podcast. Hot Honey has dropped at Maccas for a boat last night. I don't think I dreamt. It was just darkness. Jess and Ducko. That was the Jess and Ducko podcast. Hot Honey has stopped at Macca's for a limited time only. Embrace the drip.
