Macca's delicious new Brekkie McRap is even more reason for a pre-work Macca's run. Jess and Duggo! This is the Jess and Duggo podcast. Welcome to the podcast everybody. First podcast for the week on a Wednesday. Woo! Unbelievable scenes. Hey, if you missed any of the show and this is it, this is the first time you're listening in for a treat because Jess is still off sick. Shy Guy is still off sick with scabies.

So Babs stepped up today in Jess's chair. We did Duck on Babs show. Yeah, I know. Weird. Weird. How did it feel? Weird. It was very odd.

Were you nervous coming into the morning? I was. I've been really sweaty for some reason. Well, that's just, anyone who sits in Jess's chair gets sweaty. Yeah, no, I feel like I've just turned into Jess. That's just part and parcel. Yeah. Soon you'll be complaining and be the cheese witch.

Yeah, that's true. No, you did a great job, though. Thank you. How'd you find it? It was really weird being on the other side, especially because you've got to actually talk to the people. It's not just like, yeah, good story. Like, see ya.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got it. There's a bit going on. Yeah, there's a bit going on. You even got hit with your own two niche thing. I know. Because you did a movie quote. What is it about people sitting in that chair and wanting to quote films?

I don't know. You just turned into Jess, apparently. You turned into Jess. Yeah. Babs is going for ambassadorships for cars as well. Yep, 100%. I need a new car, so hit me up. Free food, free car.

You get all the perks now. Yeah, nice. I need to get my eyebrows done. Go get your hair. It takes six hours at Jess Gotts. Yeah, can I go get some extensions, please? Would you get extensions? No.

No, I don't think so. Do you have thin hair? I have really thin hair, but I think it would annoy me. Yeah. Because I'd extensions? No. No, I don't think so. Do you have thin hair? I have really thin hair, but I think it would annoy me. Yeah. Because I'd just be like, oh, I get so much hair. And then Jess told me she was brushing the other day. I was trying to do something she couldn't, and she had to go in to get them to sort of fix it out.

Yeah, for them to do it. And I just, I have to wash my hair every couple of days, so I just think it would be a nightmare. I genuinely wash my hair once a month, if I'm lucky. You're like Jethro. Jethro, I don't remember the last time he washed his hair. Yeah. He just rinses it. And I'm not like, I have two showers a day, sometimes three.

I'm pretty clean, like my body-wise. But hair-wise, it just doesn't. Yeah. But it's funny because his never smells. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah. No, neither does mine, though. Yeah.

What is it about boys' hair that they just don't... I don't know. We don't add anything to it. We don't touch it. It never smells. If I've been in the ocean a fair few times and I've exercised a bit, it'll start to get a bit like, you know, give it a wash. But I sweat in it every day, wear a sweaty hat.

Yeah. It's weird. And then like I have to wash mine every two days. You know what I noticed the other day? We're washing our pillowcases and mine had this massive yellow stain on the head. Ew. I'm like, oh, I haven't washed that thing in a while. Yeah.

And it's a bit disgusting. That is disgusting. How often do you wash your bedsheets? I used to do it every couple of weeks, but ever since I've moved into this house for some reason, I've been doing it every Sunday. Every Sunday? Yeah, because it's like a Sunday reset. Yeah.

And then you feel good for the week, but how depressing is it knowing on the Sunday you got to wash your bedsheets? It's actually not that bad. I like it because it kind of gets me into the mentality that I'm going to work tomorrow sort of thing. Are you meal prepping yet? I do a little bit of meal. Well, I've been meal prepping my breakfast.

Yeah, you do overnight oats. Yeah, I've been doing overnight oats. So what are you whacking in overnight oats? Oats. She's got me. Milk, a little bit of yogurt, like Greek yogurt. I usually put some sort of fruit, chia seeds and honey. It's actually quite yum.

It looks nice. I'll show you with that out tomorrow. You're doing a little bougie jar as well. Yeah, I went to the reject shop and bought some nice jars. Quite cheap. How many did you get? I got two. So if one's getting washed.

How much do you pay for the jars? Like three bucks. Oh, here she is. $6 jars. I know, pretty good. Yeah, right she is. $6 jars. I know. Pretty good. Yeah, right. It does make it look nicer when you're eating it out of a jar.

And it feels better than just going and making some toast. Yeah. And I'm like, I feel better about myself. 100%. Your guts feel better. Yeah, they actually do. You know what? Yeah. I've noticed the last couple of weeks that I've been feeling less sick in the stomach.

That's the most passionate I've seen you all morning. Yeah. I know. Sorry. That was good. No, I like it. So you've been feeling less sick because you've changed your breakfast. Yeah, I've changed my breakfast, but I've also realized I haven't really been eating bread.

And I've been eating quite healthy. So I've been eating like lots of just like veggies and steak and... Veggies and meat. Yeah. Safe. Yeah. Bit of rice in there is good. But yeah, bread is the killer.

Yeah, I think it is bread. And I think, yeah, it's definitely... And also I have peppermint tea before bed. Apparently that's good for digestion as well. I have a chamomile. Yeah, that's good too. Sleepy tea. Yeah. That's been good. Yeah, okay. There you go. So my gut's been feeling better. Hey guys, if you were wondering, Babs' guts have

been feeling top notch. Yeah, I know everyone was really concerned about that. People are sitting there going what is this show podcast now? No, they're sitting there going, thank God for that. I'm so glad. I've been wondering about her guts. I've been really caring about Babs' guts. I've been waiting for them to talk about Babs' guts all morning,

and now we finally hear it. Yeah, exactly. But, hey, it's a bit of a fun show, as you can tell. We try our best. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. And hopefully tomorrow, you don't know, we'll have a normal team. But, anyway, Babs, well done today. Thank you.

You take it up, baby. Turn it up. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Okay, well done today. Thank you. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Okay, welcome to Wednesday. Good morning, Jess. Still sick. Good morning, Shy Guy. Oh, dear.

Babs? Yeah, I'm here. Babs is here. Look, it's been a week. It's been a week and a half. Jess, still sick. I think Lucia's quite sick now, so she's at home with them. Their household is not well.

And then Shy Guy, he got the scabies off Jess, and he's now really sick. He said to you, Babs, it's the sickest he's ever been. Yep, he said, I'm dying. He said, I'm dying. Apparently, I was hosting Trivial Assign, supposedly there's a lot of people who are sick. I've heard that as well. Okay, so it must be going around. Yeah, it's going around.

Is it going around schools? It's meant to be going around everywhere? There's like flu-y. Yeah, I think so. But Shago and Jess both reckon they had sort of vomiting and flu. Yeah, I think it's like a combination of both, which is actually disgusting. And he tested for COVID, he told me yesterday.

It wasn't COVID. No. So it's some form of viral thing going around. So stay safe. So anyway, no Shago today. He is up though, working from home. So if you want to complain about him, you can. You can text us.

So for a double eight, double eight, one Oh six nine. You can't Shago. Oh, it's the you can. You can text us 048881069. You're a shit can't shower guy. Oh, it's the shit can't shower guy hotline. Let's do that. Can we do that? Text in anything you want. 048881069. So here's how it's working. We're sick of doing best of shows and Babs and I said, hey, we're feeling good. We feel great. We are not sick yet. We didn't get sick from the baby shower, so we're still going to be here doing something, Babs. Yeah, we are. You get to step up today. I know, I'm scared. I feel like I've lied on my resume too many times.

Somehow I'm here. And here you are. Yeah, I'm here. You went from receptionist in the office to now doing this show with me. Yeah, I'm sitting in Jess's chair. Yeah, this is a big moment for you. Yeah, it's a bit moist. The moment's moist or Jess's chair?

Jess's chair. Yeah, swamp crotch. You know how she gets. And this, we don't, ow, this is good news. We don't need the air con on in this studio. I know. I feel like I'm freezing. Oh, yeah.

She always has it on so cold. So, look, we're going to, you know, a bit of normality. We've got Shy Guy Dips. Babs's gets to dip today. I know. It's all happening. We've got Babs's Blogsteel. And we are playing Alphabucks. Your chance at $10,000 up

for grabs. Plus, we've got our first chance for you to win tickets to see Dua Lipa. Finally. We haven't given these, we haven't given anyone the chance yet. I know, it's so sad. The talent pool's going to be down. So, 13, 10, 60. Hey, we'll even take a first call. Or if you want to get on for your chance to go and see

Dua Lipa, we're drawing it on Friday. Friday at 9. So, there's only a a first call, or if you want to get on for your chance to go and see you do a leap, but we're drawing it on Friday. Friday at 9, so there's only a couple of days left. You've got to lift. You've got to lift. Hey, look at Babs going today. Shannon Knoll. Shannon, quoting Knollsy. Quoting Knollsy for everyone.

We've still got that. We've still got Alphabucks for a chance at $10,000. I mean, it's all happening. Like I said, you've got any text, message us a minute, 048888106. We'll get you on as well.

We've got free fuel to give away in the show too today. Yep. Sorry. I wasn't looking. See, this is what... I need you today. I could see that.

I could see you looking down at your laptop looking at something. I was thinking if you had any text shit-canning try guys. Oh, that's good actually. If you have a text shit-canning try guy, get us on 048's good, actually. If you have a text shit-canning, should I go?

Get us on. 0-4-8-8-8-1-0-6-9. Look, we'll attempt to get some form of normality with it. We're doing the best we can. Everyone's sick. So this is what happens when you're sick in the great game of radio. But perhaps we're still going to have fun. Yeah.

So 13-10-60. If you want to go see Dua Lipa, we can take one call next. I'm happy to. I mean, you don't get to win it, but we get to draw it. Oh, text, text on. Jess and Ducko. Jess'm happy to. I mean, you don't get to win it, but we get to draw it. Oh, text, text on. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. Welcome to Wednesday, halfway through the week.

Feels like a very strange week in here. Jess has been sick all week. She got sick from my baby shower, which we'll unpack in a second, and then Shy Guy got it. Babs, you got it, then you came back. I feel good now. You feel good, then Shy Guy got it, then he's off. It's musical chairs. I've been here, though. We've had best ofs all week, but we said we're not doing that this week.

We want to play Alpha Bucks for 10K today. We want to give people a chance to go and see the iconic, the one and only... Dua Lipa. So 13, 10, 60. Get involved any time on the show this morning. You'll have plenty of opportunities. Your first chance is to get in the draw. We draw that on Friday.

But Chanel's called in. Hello, Chanel. Hi. How are you going? Yeah, good. Just on my way to work. Okay. You're on your way to work. You want to call me in. Are you calling in to chat to Babs and I because Jess is away and Babs is filling in? Or are you calling in really because you want to go see Dua Lipa? I would love to meet Dua Lipa for my mother-in-law. You wouldn't believe it. She's only just discovered her and she was only telling me about her yesterday. I was like, she's been around forever.

Really? What, she thought Dua Lipa was just like new artists that just popped up? Yeah, she did. And you'd take your mother in law to the Dua Lipa concert? Yeah, I would. Well, we're actually moving in there. We're about to start renovations and I've got three kids, so

what a treat. I could not think of anything worse, moving in with the in-laws and three kids. Okay, hey, you're in the stand. You're in the chance to go see Dua Lipa. No worries. Hey, good luck with the renovations and moving in. How long are you with the in-laws for?

Oh, let's say probably six months, but let's hope we're home by Christmas. It's actually my father-in-law doing the build. That's like the worst situation. Your father-in-law doing your own build. There'll always be issues, and I think it could be longer than Christmas. These things always take longer. Yeah, yeah.

Sorry, I'm just setting it a bit higher. Ah, to be nice and cosy. All right, Chanel, well, good luck with everything. You're in the chance. We draw the tickets on Friday, okay? Awesome. Thanks. Have a good day, guys. Now, how's our, thank chance. We draw the tickets on Friday, okay? Awesome. Thanks. Have a good day, guys.

Now, how's our text line going, Babs? Yeah, good. 048-888-106-LINE on the text line if you had anything you wanted to add to any of that. People, we wanted to... Shit can't shower, guys. No one's done that. No. Which is kind of annoying.

It's actually been really nice. People have been really nice. Everyone's still being so nice. Everyone's saying, you're doing great, guys. I hope you're doing well. Someone said, welcome back, Babs. We miss you. Thanks, Michael.

Okay. Babs was here yesterday too, Michael, but really good to know. Someone else messaged, Andrew messaged saying, Tucker, I've heard every minute of the show. This was from yesterday. Oh, you didn't give us an update on your family. Did they get through the cyclone all unscathed? Yes, they did.

They were in Brisbane. Thank you, Michael. They were in Brisbane. They were fine. They couldn't come to the baby shower, though. Yeah, it was a bit sad. I was actually looking forward to meeting your family. Yeah, it was going to be good to have them there.

So we were meant to have it at our house. We couldn't. My parents couldn't come. Morgan's parents couldn't come. They're all fine. They're all safe. Their houses got pretty, like, it's pretty soaked up there. A bit of flooding in their areas, but they're okay, thank God.

But, yeah, no one could make it to this baby shower, but I'm kind of glad they didn't, Babs, because as a result, I don't know if baby shower's ground zero. Like if, if that happened or if Jess brought the sickness to the shower. Yeah, I don't know. Well, I mean, if none of your other friends are sick, then. That's true actually. It was just Jess and shower guy. Yeah.

Must've been in the studio. Yeah. It was just the Jess sickness. Yeah, it was just Jess. So we have Babs and I on the mic today. We have boss Jace on the phones. I'm pretty excited. Do you know how to work those things out there, Jase?

Better now that Babs has shown me. Okay. He was wearing like a headless jacket. I don't know what to do. I don't know where anything is. Acting like a real boomer out here. Typing with his one index finger. Yeah.

He's loving it. Well, you're on the phones today, Jase. So, I don't know, mate. Let them through. Have some fun, okay? Yeah, call and troll Shy Guy. Call and troll, yeah. As I said, Babs is dipping.

Are you excited to dip? Actually, I just feel like Shy Guy is going to be messaging me, though. You're not doing it right. You're not doing it right. You're stepping on his turf. Yeah. Here's the thing, though. When you do Shy Guy dips, you've got to be bad at suggestions.

Yeah, I'll try my best. Okay. You've got to suck. Yeah, I've got to suck. Channel Shy Guy. Yeah, I'll try my best. Okay. You've got to try. You've got to suck. Yeah, I've got to suck. Channel shy guy. Yeah, I will. Jess and Daco. I had my mother-in-law, Babs, recently.

She couldn't come to baby shower. So she stayed with us for the last two nights. Her job, she came. Morgan's dad stayed in Brisbane because obviously they worry about their house flooding. Morgan's mom luckily got through the day after the baby shower. She stayed with us and their job for the two days of her and Morgan that they really wanted to do was clean everything in the house to create more space for the baby.

Exciting. Oh, yeah. So exciting. So they wanted to create everything in the kitchen, like they were emptying everything out in the kitchen to create more space. Yep. And we were trying to find space to create and then we were setting the baby's room up.

So I had two days of this. Like, I was basically just a pack horse. Like, moving things from the shed down to the room, then back up to the shed, then emptying boxes. I was doing that thing. I saw it on TikTok, actually, with your friends, where you hose boxes. My friends.

That's where they all live. Where you hose boxes to make them squishy. Okay, sure. I've never seen that, but yep. So if you want to get rid of boxes, best trick, if you've got package boxes, hose them, like wet them, and then you can fold them down and chuck them in a bin. Oh, don't they get smelly, though, in your bin?

Well, I'll let you know in a couple of days. I'm not sure. Anyway, that was my job. I'm there packing, doing boxes. Morgan's mom, Morgan, doing a great job. They're getting very excited. Baby chat 24-7. And we're having dinner last night,

and they said something which I was gobsmacked by because we were talking about being clean and Morgan's, you know, she's anal about being clean. Yeah. Very tidy, yada, yada. And we were talking about how her sister and brother aren't. And I said, well, I'm pretty clean because Morgan's mom goes, oh, what's ducko like? And then Morgan goes, you're not clean. You're tidy.

Okay. So what's the difference then? Well, that's what I said. Morgan's mom goes, oh, there's a big difference. Now, I don't know if you or Boss Jace's here on the phones knew what this was. So clean is like you see dirt and you've got a vacuum. Clean is like you clean the stovetop after each thing. Clean is like you see the crumbs on the bench.

That's got to go. And plus you clean everything away. Tidy is you will move clutter, essentially. You will move clutter and stuff out of the way so it creates space. Yep. And Morgan, in front of her mum, basically said that I'm a tidy person but not a clean person. Right. Which I didn't even know I was and she'd never once brought up to me in the first place.

Well, that's a way to solve a problem. Yeah. Would you say you're clean or tidy? It depends. So in shared spaces, I'm clean. Okay. So I'm like very much like, you know, dirt on the floor needs to go immediately. Dirt on the, you know, got a mopper, got a vacuum. But then my room, I have this habit where it's like tidy. And if I have things laying out, I'll just chuck them in cupboards just so they're not visible. It's really weird,

but no one's going into your room. It can just be tidy. Yeah. Ah, that's interesting. But in shared space is 100% clean. Because in your share house, you're the mother of the share house. Yeah. Well, I feel like I am, yes. You're the one who does everything.

I feel, yeah. And what's funny, when I was living in a boy's share house, I felt like I was the one who did everything. Right. But Morgan is like anal with the cleanness, right? She knows that and so is her mum. So when they were piling on with me, I was very confused. Boss Chase, would you say, because you live in a house,

obviously your wife and kids, were you a clean or a tidy? Yeah, I'm clean, but I'm not crazy. Okay. But I also think Babs is now like the Monica from Friends in a relationship with the secret cupboard. Yeah, yeah, just chucking it all in there. Yeah, because I would have thought you just chucking it all in there. Yeah, because I would have thought you'd be fully tidy all the time.

Well, I try my best, but sometimes I'm just like, my clothes fall off hangers and stuff, and I'm like, oh, stuff that, just chucking it in a cupboard. That doesn't get, I would have thought, knowing you, that would really fire you up. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know why I'm like that. But every time Jethro opens my cupboard, he goes,

oh, Jesus Christ. And starts falling out. Yeah. But then when you're out with the girls in the kitchen, you're vacuuming and mopping. Yeah, I'm like, why is there a speck of dust in here? Can you guys do something? There you go. I was perplexed by that.

I wanted to run it through the team because I think shy guy is probably just clean. I reckon he'd be 100% clean. And I think Jess is clean. I think Jess is tidy. I don't know. I wouldn't know what Jess would be like. I feel like Angus might be clean and Jess might be tidy.

And then it kind of, yeah. The big thing Morgan's mum asked me, which was really, she goes, when was the last time you cleaned the oven? I was like, ah, I don't think we've cleaned the oven since we moved into the house. Ever. And she's like, I clean it monthly. I was like, okay, that's the difference. Jacob's texting as well saying hashtag team tidy from Jacob.

Love it, Jacob. Thank you. Shy guy is just weak. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Jess and Ducko's 10K Alpha Bucks on hit. 30 seconds to answer. 10 questions all starting with the same letter. Have to take your first answer.

You cannot use the same answer twice. And if you're untrue to the question, just say pass. We'll come back, of course, if there is time. Now, today's player, we have the one and only. We have Steve. G'day, Steve. How you going, guys? Good, mate, good.

Now, we're running a little bit light today, a bit lean. So no Jess today, which means I'll be reading you the questions. No shy guy either, which means Babs here. She gets to mark whether you're right or wrong, all right? Oh, all right. It's a big responsibility for Babs. I know. Is your debut at marking out the box?

I think so, yeah. Okay, all right. They do a good job. Steve, how do you normally go with the game? Oh, some days good, some days pretty bad. Isn't that just like life, Steve? Isn't that just a euphemism for life? Yeah, pretty much.

Some days good, some days pretty bad. But life doesn't potentially throw $10,000 out of your head, does it? No, it does not. Or random, obscure questions. But you know the rules, Steve. Now, the letter you're working with today is the letter B. B for banana. B for Babs.

Oh, sorry. B for Babs. B for Babs. Oh, sorry. B for Babs. Best the Babs. Yes. B for Babs. Best kebabs. Yes, Steve.

I'm best kebabs. Oh, God, this is going to be fun. Steve's going to be a player. All right, Steve. You've got 30 seconds. You've got the 10 questions. Your letter is B. You're all good to go.

Yep. All right, here we go. Starting with the letter B, I need you to name a country. Bolivia. A herb. Basil. A fashion brand. Pass.

An instrument. Bass. A type of cheese. Blue vein. A dance style. Pass. An adverb. Pass. A dance style. Pass. An adverb. Pass.

A kids' TV show. Bluey. An Olympic sport. Barkable. A boy band. Whoa. Jeez. Jeez, he came in right there.

How did we go, Babs? I think six out of ten I got. Six? That looks pretty good to me. Jeez, there's some he came in right there. How did we go, Babs? I think six out of ten I got. Six? That looks pretty good to me. Jeez, there's some good ones in there. The ones we missed, a fashion brand. Could have been Balenciaga. That's a tough one.

A dance style, a bit of Ray Gunn. Break dancing or belly dancing. Oh, why didn't I think of belly dancing? That's the start of my surname. You struck me as someone who'd do a belly dance after a few beers, Steve. Yeah, yeah. I think of belly dancing. That's the start of my surname. You struck me as someone who'd do a belly dance after a few beers, Steve. Yeah, yeah. An adverb always tough.

You could have been blissfully or boldly there. And then a boy band. I feel like you would have got it. We ran out of time. Backstreet Boys is who we're looking for. But, Steve, the good news is, look, you don't get $10,000, but we're giving you $100 worth of free fuel. How about that? Oh, beautiful.

Excellent. There you go, mate. Thank you very much, guys. You enjoyed, Steve. Thanks for playing. Thank you very much. You have yourself a good day. Yeah, we will.

Thanks, Steve. We will. Thanks for that life advice as well. We appreciate it. No worries. Jess and Ducko. Hey, it's Babs, and this is my blog. Commence Operation Superstar Bratslay.

Now, normally, Babsy comes into the studio and she gives us one topic a week. It can be from your personal life. It can be topical. And Jess, myself, and Shaga will weigh in on this. Yeah. Today's just you and me. I know. Oh, Jase can weigh in, too.

Yeah, Jase can weigh in. Thanks so much. Boss Jase out there on the tools. The boomer. Not knowing what to do. All right. What do you got for me? Is it socially acceptable to talk to your Uber driver?

The age-old debate. Now, do you mean after a few drinks? Like, when are we talking? Just really any time. But, yeah, especially after a few drinks. I think definitely it's social. I think it's I personally, which I'm sure won't shock anyone, think it's rude to not talk to the Uber driver.

Well, yeah, okay, that's my argument too. But we had an experience on the weekend where our Uber driver ended up getting quite mad at us and my housemate got a one-star rating. Oh, one star and Uber mucks you round because you get one of those, it drops your rating to like below four or something. Yeah, I know. And then they won't pick you up if they see your rating is really bad. What from talking to them?

From talking to them. So basically we jumped in the Uber after being at a location to go to a different pub. And it was probably... Also, can we just say, guys, Babs had a massive weekend. I did not. She was on the tools. She went from my baby shower to a pub crawl. Obviously I was forcing her to have free wines. Yeah. You were a cowgirl. Yeah. So it was a dress up as well. Okay. So you guys are dressed up. We're dressed up. My housemate is dressed as Clifford the Big Red Dog, for context too, so she's painted completely red. Oh, so she painted her skin. Yes, so we've

gotten into the Uber. It's going to stick on the seat. It's actually Lucy, the one that stores cheese in the freezer, for some context too. She's a weirdo. Yep, anyway. She got in the car and then she just started talking to the Uber driver and he just got progressively mad at her as she kept going with...

She had some interesting questions, mind you. Okay, well, this is the thing, right? It's one thing to be like, tough night, mate. You've been driving Uber for long. How'd you get into it? They're the classic Uber questions. But what were the questions she was asking? Well, it started like that.

But then it kind of progressed to, if you could be any animal in the world, what would you be? Yeah, and she is blind drunk, dressed red. She wasn't even... Yeah, but anyway, the Uber driver just ended up ignoring us. What, did he give an animal? No, he didn't. She was trying to be like, what about a dog?

What about a dog? He's like, no, no, no, and then just stopped talking. She's sort of being a bit of a smart ass, liquid courage. Yeah. She's got red maybe on his leather seats. Yep, possibly. Possibly. He's not liking it.

And then he just stopped answering? Yep, and then he just ignored her, and she's like, oh, okay. And then that was it. It then he just stopped answering? Yep. And then he just ignored her. And she's like, oh, okay. And then that was it. It was silent for the rest of the Uber drive. Were you guys just, I can imagine you giggling in the back. I was giggling in the back seat. But then also it was that point where I was going, Lucy, stop.

Lucy, stop. Please stop. Because I was like, okay, I can tell he's getting mad. He's going to kick us out of the car. And what time of night was this? It was like 9pm. Okay. So it's not super late yet. Yeah. Because here's the thing. Here's something you don us out of the car. And what time of night was this? It was like 9pm. Okay, so it's not super late yet. Yeah.

Because here's the thing. Here's something you don't know about me. I used to drive Uber. Really? When it first came out, when Uber first came out, I was younger. Jeez, this was like a decade ago. Yeah. When it came out.

And it was like, I wanted to do it for some extra cash and drove Uber. And some people's conversations that you get were fun and engaging. But some that you knew were fun and engaging but some what you knew were taking the piss out of you while you were driving them around you just felt like a slave like you know yeah like ah i'm i what am i doing like why am i doing this so drunk people coming and being like what kind of animal would you be also i'm saying it's saturday night and it's like 9 p.m it's kind of like a given right but then seeing clifford the big red dog jumping if that was me and that would have been like, cool.

Me too. If that was me and that was like, you know, young people ask me a question, I'm fine. I would have bantered with them. But it sounds like... Was he much older? Oh, I don't think so. I reckon he would have been about 30. Yeah, yeah.

But I mean, there was also a funny conversation because they were listening to our station at the time too. So Lucy was grilling him about that. Was saying like, do you like the... Yeah. What was she saying? Oh, far out. Yeah, it came up you like the Yeah, and then, cause it came up on the screen like Jess and Ducko

right, and she's like, oh do you listen to Jess and Ducko? And the guy's like I don't know, I just put the radio on. And she's like, well, Babs is in the back seat, she works for them. I was like, Lucy stop. So this guy just hated us really. So now you've given the Jess and Ducko show a bad rating

plus you've given a friend a bad rating. Whenever I'm in Ubers with my mates and they're like Ducko, I'm like, nah, us, really. So now you've given the Jess and Daco show a bad rating. Yeah, sorry. Plus you've given a friend a bad rating. Whenever I'm in Ubers with my mates and feel like Daco, I'm like, ah, no, no. Please no. My name is Jeremy today. Okay, so she's got a one-star rating. Yep. Yeah, so I'm like, is it? I mean, if she didn't talk at all, it would have been weird too.

I don't know. There's three of us in the car. Yeah. But I mean, having you two in the back giggling while she's asking what kind of animal he'd like to be dressed as a big red dog on his car seat. Yeah, that's true. Jess and Daco. No Jess today.

She's off sick. No Shy Guy. He's off sick, which means we've got Shy Guy dips or it's Babs dips because it's just Babs, just you and me in the studio. Yeah. So you're dipping next. I know. I'm excited.

You picked your cereal today? Yep. Okay. All right. That's coming up. Before we do that, a list of Australia's most popular dog breeds in 2025 has come out. I want to run them through to you, the team. The team today consists of Babs, myself, and Boss Jays.

Hey, I'm listening. You're listening. You'll hear Boss Jays is here out there. I think he's just worked out how to use the phones. Half listening. Doesn't care. Anyway, I wanted to run you through this because I have an issue, which I think is going to be not popular.

But anyway, Pet Insurance Australia has brought out the list of the top 10 dog breeds in this country. First of all, you've got the top dog breeds in New South Wales, Babs. I do, yes. Give me the top three for the dogs of New South Wales. Cavoodle, French Bulldog, and Golden Retriever. Okay, so it's a similar list, right? So if I could take you through the 10, Poodle is in there, Maltese, Labrador is number 8,

German Shepherd. The Miniature Dash Hound is coming in at 6. People love a Miniature Dashie. But the top 5, we have a, this is dog breeds in Australia, a Groodle, so another Oodly dog. Number 4, a Border Collie. I understand the Border Collie. They're a beautiful dog.

Yeah, they're pretty cute. They're a great natured dog. They're a good dog. Golden Retriever. I get that. dog. They're a great natured dog. They're a good dog. Golden Retriever. I get that. Yeah, they're cute too. Gentle dog. French Bulldog is number two, which I think Frenchies are cute.

You either love them or hate them. But coming at number one, similar to New South Wales, it's the Cavoodle. I don't understand the obsession with the Oodle Dogs. Neither do I. You don't get it? No. I feel like they're yappy. I'm sorry. I know that people love them, Do I? You don't get it? No. I feel like they're yappy. I'm sorry.

Like, I know that people love them, but I just see them as like little yappy dogs. And they're anything with the Oodle. You know, what's funny is my dog, Pam, obviously she's not on this. I don't know why we don't have a bull Arab cross Doberman that's anxious on this list anyway. Idiots. Well, it's number 11, isn't it? Yeah, it's in there.

She hates the Oodle dogs. Any like Poodle, Cavoodle, Labradoodle, Spoodle, whatever they are. I don't know why. She just does not like them. Yeah. Because what's your family dog? A German Shepherd. Yeah.

So they're number seven on the list. I've got two. German Shepherds are a good dog. Yeah, I like big dogs, though. I think that's why. And I don't get why the little Oodle dogs always have dirty mouths. Do you know what I mean? It's disgusting.

Yeah. What are they licking? Because you don't like it, Jase. You've got a, what's your dog? Golden Retriever. Okay, so you're on the list. But you don'ticking? Because you don't like it, Jase. You've got a, what's your dog? Golden Retriever. Okay, so you're on the list. But you don't have a, you don't like oodle dogs? No, I just find them a bit yappy and yeah, they're not my vibe.

I don't understand the obsession. I don't, I really don't get it. I mean, people out there will be yelling at their radios right now. Yeah, no, they hate us. I think a lot of people get them because they can take out the allergies. Like a Groodle, from my understanding, is a golden retriever cross oodle so it doesn't shed. I mean, talk about shedding. I'm vacuuming twice a day.

Yeah. I mean, I've still got a short-haired dog and she still sheds. Like every dog sheds. Yeah. So anyway, they're the top dogs rounding out for the country. I just, I mean, buy bigger dogs. Yeah, I like big dogs too. I can't like the oversized rats that just yappy.

Clean your dog's mouth. Clean your dog's, yes. What are they licking? What are they doing? Hey, speaking of licking, it's Babs Zips next. Get your cereal, get your spoon ready. You good to go? Yeah, I'm ready.

Remember, Shaga. I've got to be dumb. Yeah, you've got to be dumb. This game only works when you're dumb. Yeah, well, that's hard because I'm not dumb. You know that. Also, Shy Guy is on the text line. So 0488881069, he's awake from home reading all your texts coming through.

And we're loving all the ones that are canning on Shy Guy because he's replying to them. Yeah, no, he's getting so angry, but it's kind of funny. Jess and Ducco. I reckon producer Shy Guy's having a glass of milk. Glass of milk and a little biscuit, aren't you? My milk, my milk, my milk. Shy Guy. Yes. I'm so excited. I want Shy Guy's having a glass of milk. Glass of milk and a little biscuit, aren't you? My milk, my milk, my milk. Shy Guy Dips. I'm so excited.

Now, unprecedented times with the sickness in the studio. Jess, she's been away all week. She's off sick. Shy Guy, he was in, then he was off.

But, hey, look, we'll try and brighten your day. Babs, another clue for Kiri. All right, Kiri, your next clue is when I was younger, it used to have a game on the back.

All right, Danielle, when you're ready. Hi, I'm Danielle, and I'm so excited to win Shy Guy's box. Via Babs. Via Babs.

Yeah. Jess and Daco. Happy Wednesday, team. We know Jess today, she's off sick. Lucia at home sick as well. So thoughts go out to their family. Shy Guy, he's sick too. I think he's just faking it, just piling on.

But Shy Guy's not here, so it's just Daco and Babs doing the best we can until the team is back, hopefully all back on deck tomorrow in some form of normality. But we still have Alphabucks, your chance at $10,000, coming up at 8 o'clock this morning. But before the reckoning of sickness hit our team, the havoc hit our team last week, Jess and I, we got to catch up with two legends because this month it is Endo Awareness Month. So we got to catch up with two very special people.

And here's how that chat went. Now, this thing's been doing the rounds. You might have seen, well, I don't know how you wouldn't have seen it. Former radio host now, Marty Sheargoltz, last week coming out making those first comments about the Matildas and women's sport and stuff, which were disgusting and wrong. But then it was the endometriosis comments, I think, which really hit home for a lot of people. Absolutely. Comments around, she's just faking it. The pain isn't that bad.

Basically accusing a lot of women of exaggerating or, as we said, faking it, which has led to endometriosis month is March anyway. But a lot of vocalization on how backwards that thinking is and how damaging it is belittling women's pain. We've lived long enough with the disregard around this space, with the lack of knowledge, funding and research. Yeah, the unaware. And comments like that just push us two steps back. So thank God we have got advocates taking time out of their day, out of their jobs to make sure that misinformation is squashed. And we're so lucky to be joined by two of them right now.

Kelly is the founder of Cozy and an endometriosis advocate. She has partnered up with someone you might think is a relatively unlikely partner. You wouldn't expect it. You wouldn't expect it, but his name is Brett. He's an Aussie man who is standing up for men in this space and advocating for men to stand up, man up for endo. Let's go to Kelly. Good morning to you, Kelly. Hi, guys.

Thank you so much for joining us this morning. Firstly, and I hope I'm not reopening wounds because I'm sure you've done a bit of healing and having to grapple with the comments made last week, but how was that for you hearing someone in the public eye be so dismissive about this condition? Yeah, look, it's really tough because we have such a rough go with this already. So with my business, I invented this 360 heat pack for period pain that you can wear. And so women reach out to me through my business all the time, telling me their stories. And constantly I hear that their bosses don't believe them when they're in pain or their doctors don't believe them. It takes six and a half years to get diagnosed on average because of this.

And it just adds fuel to the fire when they start to question if the disease is real at all. And it's such a horrible condition to have. It's literally like a lottery too. Yes. It's so unlucky. But these comments were made by Marty. And then enter Brett.

Brett rolls into the chat. Brett Hinton's his name. Good morning to you, Brett. You're on the line. Brett Hinton's his name. Good morning to you, Brett. You're on the line. Hi, how are you? Good. Now, Brett, what's your story here? How did you, I suppose, come into this and want to be an advocate for this?

Well, I bought Kelly's product, and we connected after buying her product, and he asked me if I wanted to become an advocate. And, you know, I jumped at the chance because of what my partner Fernanda goes through. It's just, it needs to be spoken about. Nobody talks about it. Could you tell us, obviously your wife goes through it firsthand. Could you tell us what does that look like? What's an average month or what does it look like when your wife gets these endo pain or how much of the month is sort of wiped out for her with this? She's lucky to get seven days without pain pain if she's really lucky a week and a

half and and that is considered lucky because a lot of women don't have any respite at all um yeah she's just she's actually started to go through it like yesterday so we just braced ourselves she she tries to function as well as she can but that's where i have to kick in and i want to kick in. And I want to kick in and help her because I just don't like seeing her suffer. And yeah, it's terrible to watch. It really is. Has Fernanda ever experienced someone in the workplace or even as Kelly mentioned in the medical field dismissive of her pain that you've witnessed firsthand as well? Her boss has been amazing. She's very lucky there, but I went to an appointment

with her two months ago and there wasn't much, not much option really because she's 46. They even suggested to have a hysterectomy and I'm like, that's crazy. It is extreme. And I couldn't believe they even offered that to her. And it's just not enough research, I feel. And it's terrible. Like, we need to talk about it more. And especially men, I don't think they like to talk about it because it has to do with their partner. And it's a private thing. But it's something that needs to be spoken about.

Do you think it is a private thing? People see shame in it? Or people feel embarrassed to, like, the ladies feel embarrassed to talk about it and so do the men partners? Do you see that as well, Kelly? Is it a stigma attached to it? Yeah, absolutely. I had someone make a comment to me about this yesterday that they wanted to share because we've got hashtag men up for endo where men are sharing their support but also women are sharing their stories of when they haven't been believed and she said to me, I'm just so scared of speaking about it because then men belittle

my pain and I just want to crawl back inside myself. That's horrible. It's just, I can't imagine. And as you said, Daco, it is a reverse lottery in that it's certainly not a good thing. Yes. To have something internally going on where all you have is your words, your language, to be disbelieved or to be, oh, go, I'm sure you've been told, Kelly, go have an aspirin, go have a lie down. Like people just, oh, you know, get over yourself sort of thing. We're all going through something.

You have no idea what someone is going through and how that impacts their whole life. And, you know, aside from the debilitating pain, the inflammation, all that stuff, I think the infertility is another big one that's not discussed with it enough. Of course, that mental load as well, on top of the physical. Do you see that as well, Kayla? I'm not sure if you have any infertility stats

putting you on the spot here with that, but that's got to be one of the toughest things about it. It's the leading cause of infertility, I believe. And for me personally, it took me four years to finally have my daughter and five miscarriages because of endometriosis. So that's why for a lot of women, it's really hurtful to hear a comment like that because it's life ruining stuff that they're going through. If you have endo but you don't know, what's the process in order to find out that you have it? Yeah, so usually first port of call is an ultrasound, but if your ultrasound shows nothing,

that doesn't mean you don't have it. So usually the gold standard is to get a laparoscopy, which is a very invasive surgery. It's not just the keyhole surgery, people think, and they treat you at the same time. So I met a girl at an endo event on the weekend. She woke up without one of her ovaries, just to give some idea. Hang on.

So she's gone in for the exploratory surgery, Kel, or to remove the cyst, but they took an ovary because they deemed it necessary while she was under. Yeah. So she had a lot of inflammation and scarring on her ovary. She didn't want that outcome. But the problem is you don't know what the extent is and your doctor's obviously making a call and treating it at the same time.

So, I mean, it's not a good situation for either side and this is why raising the money and doing the research is so very important. Absolutely. Absolutely. We'll make sure we share all those links, whether it is a donation or a simple conversation. Before we let you go, I just want to ask Brett quickly,

obviously as a bloke going through it, seeing your wife go through it and being a tradie, how do you find other men respond to you when you sort of share this stuff and with the hashtag ManUpForEndo? How have you found that response? Just yesterday when it all came out, I had so many people message me, like one of my big bosses messaged me

and I couldn't believe it. He just opened up about his wife and it works. I'm telling you, you talk about it, you make everyone aware. I've spoken to friends at work because I'm really open at work and it's amazing

once you just start that conversation, how many people actually come out and talk to you about it. It's the best way, communication. I know. When the reality is one in seven women are going through this, and yet it is still shrouded in silence, not enough conversation. Thank goodness we've got people like Kelly and Brett doing their amazing work, and not just in the month of March, but right across the year, of course. And Demetrius Australia.org for more information information or grab Kelly's product as well for learnings.

Head to Cozy.au. Kelly, Brett, thanks so much for joining us, guys, and spreading the good word. We really appreciate it. Thanks for having us. Thanks, guys. Thank you. Jess and Daco. Welcome to Wednesday, halfway through the week.

And don't forget Macca's new spicy chicken. Mick Rapp is here. There's even more reasons to go on a Macca's run. It's packed with fiery, spicy chicken. You've got your fresh lettuce, tomato and creamy mayo. It's perfect for those getting back to the grind and available 10.30 till midnight. So jump on a Macca's run. As you've been hearing all morning, if you're just new to the show, if you're just joining us, no Jess today. She's away sick. No shy guy.

He's away sick. He's picking fights with people on the text line as he does. So it's perhaps just you and me. I know, yeah. I think you're doing a great job so far. Well done. Thank you. Stepping up. Has your family been texting?

Because I know your mum and dad will be listening. They guessed, well, they were trying to guess the cereal before, so they've been playing along. We did Char Guy Dips, Babs' edition. Yeah, they've just kind of been hyping me up. They're like, you're doing a good job. Keep trying. And I think your mum gave you one of the best, worst backhanded compliments

earlier this morning saying, you're doing your best.. Like, keep trying. And I think your mum gave you one of the best, worst backhanded compliments earlier this morning saying, you're doing your best. Yeah. It's fine. Thanks, mum. Thank you. No, you're doing a great job. And up next, Babs, we get to play Biddy Biddy Bang Bang.

Yeah, it's exciting. Instead of you and me playing, because normally Shago's Quizmaster, Jess and I play, I thought we could play with two rice cookers and we could could give them $100 of free fuel if they win. So $13, 1060 is the first time we played Biddy Biddy Bang Bang with rice cookers. We're going to give you topics. The topics will be easy today, not as hard and abstract as Shy Guy's topics.

You need to outbid each other and see how many things you can name within that topic, okay? We have $100 worth of free fuel up for grabs. So $13, 1060. You need two rice cookers on the line. Give us a call. We'll get you on. Jess and Ducko.

Biddy, biddy, bang, bang. Biddy, bang, bang. Biddy, biddy, bang, bang. Biddy, bang, bang. Biddy, biddy, bang, bang. Now, normally, Jess and I would go head-to-head. Shaga will give us topics, and we say as many things in those topics. For example, Adam Sandler movies.

And I say, I reckon I can guess five. Babs, you might say. I can guess seven. Okay, then we say, Babs, you've got 20 seconds to do it. You'll then list as many as you can. If you can list all those Adam Sandler movies that you said, say seven within that time frame, then you get the point. It is best of three.

But today, for the first time, playing for fuel, we have some rice cookers. So we welcome to the show Wade. Good morning, Wade. Good morning, Wade. Good morning, Ducko and Babs. There you go. That's cool. You like that, Babs? She's getting used to the hot seat, Wade.

We go to Taylor. Hello, Taylor. Good morning, guys. How are we? Feeling good. Hey, we're feeling good in here. We're not infected yet. No, we're good.

Okay, well, that's good. That's good. The rest of the team is. All right, so Wade and Taylor, do you both understand the rules to Biddy Biddy Bang Bang? Yes. Yep. Okay, well, that's good. That's good. The rest of the team is. All right, so Wade and Taylor, do you both understand the rules to Biddy Biddy Bang Bang? Yes. Yep. Okay, perfect. We've got three.

Babs is going to give you your first topic, and then we'll start the bid. So, Babs, what are they working with? All right, name as many fruits as you can. Fruits. Okay, Wade, the opening bid, Wade, starts with you. I'll throw out 10. 10? Okay.

Taylor, now, do you think he can get the the 10 or do you think you can see higher? I reckon I can maybe go higher. What are you thinking? I'm going to say 12. 12. Wade, you want to leave it there or you want to see her do it? How about 13? Taylor, back at you.

They're thinking of all the fruits. What do you reckon? You want to see Wade's 13 or you want to up it? Make it 14. 14. All right, Wade, final bid. Are we leaving it there or are you going more? No, I'll let it get 14.

Okay, all right. Taylor, 20 seconds to answer 14 fruits. Go. Apple, orange, blueberry, cherry, banana, strawberry, pineapple, watermelon, mango, apricot, lemon, grapefruit, papaya. How many did you have, Babs? Passion fruit. Twelve. You had twelve.

You were on a roll, but you started slow, Taylor. You started slow, which means the point there. We're going to give that one to Wade. All right, so we come in hot and heavy for the next category. Babs, what have they got? Shapes. Ooh, shapes. Wade, what do you think shapes was?

Let's start with six. Taylor? Seven. Seven. Seven. Yeah, shapes is tough. I think I'd struggle with more than seven. Wade, are you going to try and up it? Are we going to see you have a bid here?

I could do eight. Okay. Taylor, do you want to see the eight? Nine. Oh, she's going in hot and heavy. Wade, she's outbidding you. If this was an auction for a property, she's going it hot and heavy. Wade, she's outbidding you. If this was an auction for a property, Taylor's going hard. What do you think, Wade?

Can you do... No, I'll let it go again. You'll let it go with nine? All right, Taylor, you've got 20 seconds on the clock. You've got to name us nine shapes. Here we go, and start now. Circle, triangle, square, rectangle, hexagon, octagon, oval, pentagon, semicircle. Yeah, that's it.

Spear, cone, cube. You're good, you're good. You've got like 11 shapes. Oh my God, my brain's working overtime this morning. You're doing everything, Wade's just sitting back and letting you run, which means it's a tiebreaker. It is up to the last one. Babs, what's the last topic?

Countries. Oh, countries. Countries. Countries, okay. First beat is with you now, Taylor. Ooh, I'm going to say seven. Wade? Ten.

Back to you, Taylor. Eleven. Eleven, okay. Wade, over to you. I'm going to go 13. 13. He's gone bigger. For the win. Taylor, what are you doing?

There's so many countries. There's a lot of countries. You've only got 20 seconds to answer it. Oh my god. I'll go 16. Final bid. 16. Wade, do you want to see it or do you want to up it? Final bid.

20 seconds. I'm going to go 17. Is that all right? We're capping it there. All right, Wade, you've got to get 17 countries in 20 seconds for the win. Otherwise, Taylor takes it. Your time starts now. USA, Russia, Ukraine,

Australia, Japan, Finland, United Kingdom, Portugal, Denmark, China, Brazil, Kenya, Argentina, Iran, Jamaica, India, Italy, Egypt, Canada, Yes! Yes, he got

there in the end Well done, good sir That was a tight battle Taylor, I feel bad for you You did everything then But got pipped at the post It is what it is Good job mate

You've won the free fuel, well done Thank you, it helps with a world atlas on my wall at work. Oh! Oh! Jess and Ducko in the morning. Out for the bunch. Jess and Ducko's 10K Alpha Bucks on hit. 30 seconds to answer 10 questions, all starting with the same letter. Have to take your first answer.

Can't use the same answer twice. And if you're unsure of the question, just say pass. Of course, we come back to you if there is time. They're the rules of engagement. No Jess today. She's always sick. No Shaga. He's always sick.

So it's just Babs and me, which means I'm asking the questions. Babs is giving you the answers and marking them. So we go to our player today, which is Tony. Hello, Tony. Good morning. Welcome. Welcome Babs to the seat. Thank you, Tony. Welcome Babs to the hot. Thank you, Tony.

Welcome Babs to the hot seat. Filling in for Jess. She's doing a great job today, Tony, isn't she? Fantastic job. Oh, thanks, Tony. Oh, look at Tony, sweet talking Babs, because she knows where her bread's getting buttered. She knows Babs is marking it.

Now, Tony, how do you normally go with Alphabucks? Okay, so I can kill it most of the time in the car, but when I... And sometimes I get really simple ones wrong, and then I love when you read the answer, and I'm like, duh, of course that's the answer. Obviously. Hindsight. And when you trust me, when you get that timer playing in your ears,

it's a level of harder as well. But, Tony, what do you want to do with the money? So I hope my husband's not listening at work, but I really want to buy an animal farm so I can snuggle all the animals and not get in trouble. An animal farm to snuggle the animals. What's your go-to?

What animals are you putting up? Are you putting llamas and alpacas and weird things? Yes, I want llamas. I want bunnies. Like, oh my gosh, there's bunnies everywhere down here and I just love it. I'm not allowed to touch them though.

Yeah, okay, all right. Oh, animal farm sounds pretty good. Yeah, okay, alright. Animal Farm sounds pretty good. Yeah, I was going to say, have you gotten in trouble for touching bunnies before? Well, they're wild down here. They're wild in New South Wales, which is kind of like, really? Yeah, yeah, they're so

cute, so they're going to be so wild. Alright, Tony. I really want to do a Lisa ticket. Tony, that's the real reason she's called in. It's not to say hi to Babs. It is not for Alpha Box. It's to get in the draw for Dua Lipa tickets. Well, you're already in the draw just for getting through on 131060.

That was easy. That's probably the easiest thing to do. But now we need to play Alpha Box, all right? You're ready to go. All right, M-E-Z, bring it on. Okay, your letter you're working with today is A. A. A for... Animal Farm. Animal Farm. letter you're working with today is A. A. A for?

Animal farm. Animal farm. There you go, Babs. An alpaca. Okay, an alpaca. All right, you're ready to go, Tony. Yes, darling. Here we go.

Starting with the letter A, we need you to name a superhero. Ant-Man. A medication. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. A medication. Ants. A household item. Armchair. A country. Australia.

A sauce. An aioli. An apple. An animal. Alpaca. Something you wear. Chocolate. An animal. Alpaca. Something you wear. Um, what? Chocolate.

Oh, arrow. Rugby league player. Look, I'd absolutely done you a dirty day with an apple, but I think, luckily for me, I think medication, you're already doomed. Yeah. Well, do you know what? I'm standing in a doctor's room and I'm like, medication. Oh, bloody anxiety. What did do you know what? I'm standing in a doctor's room and I'm like, medication. Oh, bloody anxiety.

What did you say for medication? It is septic. I don't know if it's a medication quite. Look, I'm just relieved there. I'd already marked you as a cross for that because I did you a do with Apple. I was meant to say an animal. We were flying through it. Look, let's go through some of the ones you missed.

A source could have been aioli, an animal. I said aioli. Oh, you said aioli. Okay, something you wear, active wear or apparel. I've had a doozy here, Tony. The active wear, I'm sorry, the clothing I didn't get. No, clothing you didn't get. What else?

Did you say chocolate? You said aero. And a rugby league player could have been Andrew Johns or Arthur Beetson. Everything else. How many did you give her, Babs? Six. Okay. Oh, damn it. We got you six. Hey, Babs? Six. Okay. Oh, damn it.

We got you six. Hey, it's more than 50%. More than 50%, and you get $100 worth of fuel, plus you're in the chance to win Dua Lipa tickets. Oh, sweet, amazing. I'm so excited Dua Lipa tickets. I'm glad. Anyone else has been really annoyed with how I quizzed that,

but you did well. Nothing. All right, thank you so much, Tony. Thanks for playing. Thanks for coming on. Thanks you did well. Nothing. All right. Thank you so much, Tony. Thanks for playing. Thanks for coming on. Thanks for having me. Have a good day. You too.

What a source of energy. Well, it's not Jess and Ducko, really. It hasn't been all week. Jess is away. She's sick. Lucia is sick as well. So they're all sick. Chugga, he's always sick.

Babs is away on Monday, but now Babs is back. It's been a revolving door. But we just played Alpha Bucks, which was completely chaotic. Getting a lot of texts in. Babs, I'm copping a bit of heat. Are you? Well, you know, I accidentally said an apple. Starting with A.

Starting with A instead of an animal in the quiz. Luckily, Tony had already lost it. But, yeah, people coming for my quiz mastering on Alpha Bucks. This is what happens when the team's away, okay? Yeah, it's fine. I've got too much going on over my side. Yeah. But thanks, man.

I appreciate all your texts. At least I know you're listening. You're still giving me crap. Right now, though, 13, 10, 60, get involved in the show. Of course, we do have Dua Lipa tickets up for grabs. This is fantastic. We draw these on Friday, and it's a night's accommodation in Ridges in the heart of Sydney, which would be awesome as well.

We've only got, what, three or four people in the draw now? Yeah, at the moment. So 13, 10, 60, get involved right now. We're asking, these are the big hitting questions while the team's away, what's the worst lolly? I saw this article, I thought, well, this is tomorrow. Because Allen's, everyone's favourite lolly company, manufacturer, have come out saying the teeth lollies are now being discontinued.

No, it's not. Teeth are horrible. Everyone's favourite lolly company manufacturer have come out saying the teeth lollies are now being discontinued. No, it's not. Teeth are horrible. No, they're fun because then you put them, you like jam them in your gums and pretend that you've got big teeth. And then do you actually enjoy eating them? Yeah. No, you do not. They're pretty good.

You don't enjoy eating teeth. Everyone does that. They do the teeth gag like it's the first thing I've ever done. And then you've got to sit there and chew through that monstrosity. Yeah, but now you can never do it again. No, you can't. Well, okay, there's a little caveat there. So, Alan's, they've banned the teeth.

Well, not banned, but they're not coming back. They said that this is never an easy decision to make. It's never made lightly, but they're doing it because of declining sales, not enough retail space, and new products being launched so they can offer a variety in other ranges. However, you can still find the teeth in the Allen's Retro Party Mix. Oh, thank God for that. Does anyone? The Allen's Retro Party Mix and the Classic Party Mix?

I can't do them. Really? I love them because then you get like the peaches and creams. Another horrible lolly. They're the best. 13, 10, 60. This is what I want to know. Worst lolly.

Babs already rattled off too. Teeth and peaches and cream. I can't stand them. Really? I love them. I even have a candle in my room that's peaches and cream. I can't stand them. Really? I love them. I even have a candle in my room that's peaches and cream scented. So I don't mind the smell. Yeah.

The smell is good, but I can't do the taste. No, yum. Where do you stand on bananas? They're okay. I wouldn't go to them, but if they're like in the mix, I'll eat them. I can't do bananas either. I think bananas, peaches and cream, that sort of stuff. I don't mind.

I can have green snakes. You know people hate sort of stuff. I don't mind, like, I can have, like, green snakes. You know people hate green? See, I hate anything green or yellow. I'm like, don't put that in my mouth. No, thank you. So is that your least favourite lolly? Probably, yeah. Like, I just, I hate green snakes and I hate yellow snakes. But I also hate, like, pineapples or anything lemon flavoured. Oh, you don't like, oh, don't tell it

to Jess. Yeah, sorry. She's not here. Hey, she's not here. Babs is coming for the lemons. I hate lemons. 13, 10, 6, a bit of fun, as I said. We got fuel up for grabs. We got two lever tickets up for grabs. Now that Alan's is discontinuing the teeth and there's only two people that are mad about it, the one person who wrote this article

on Babs, what's your worst lolly? We go to Ashley on 13, 10, 60. Ash, worst lolly, go for it. It's black cats, 100%. Black cats. They're so gross. I even love licorice, but the aniseed flavour in black cats is absolutely

disgusting. Yeah, I agree with you. Black cats are horrible. Why would they get rid of teeth before black cats? I had two sets of teeth shoved in my mouth the other day just for, like, humorous purposes. And Ash, be honest, did anyone laugh? Because it's not a new joke.

Oh, my kids, they took like 50,000 photos. I didn't think about the kids. You've got to think about the kids, man. Yeah, you've got to think about the kids. I've been growing up not setting, not putting an extra set of teeth in their mouth. I can't believe people actually like teeth. What about milk bottles, Ashley?

I like them, but they don't like their vanilla. They're just like plain old comfortable. Yeah, plain old comfortable. Don't do it for you. Okay, 131060, plenty of people calling in. Let's get another song on. We'll come back with it. 131060, Worst Lollies.

You can add to the list. Why not? The whole team's sick. Let's have some fun for a Wednesday. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. It's been a week full of not great news. Team's been sick.

Jess is away. Still sick. Shaga's away. Still sick. Shaga sent me a text as well saying he's still laughing at me saying Apple and Alphabucks. One of the great markups from a quiz master. It doesn't matter. Babs and I are here doing the best we can.

Hopefully team back on deck tomorrow. Right now, though, to get you involved, plus to get you on air to hopefully see it do a leap, we draw that on Friday. Considering this is our first real show of the week, we're asking a 13, 10, 60, what's the worst, Lolly? Babs and I have differing opinions. We do, yeah. You like the teeth because Alan's have come out now saying that they are discontinuing teeth

and they've been met with some backlash because people who I'm learning now who like teeth are very passionate about it. Yeah, well, I mean, it's a bit of fun. You shove them up in your gums and, you know. Seems to be the only thing you guys say. Yeah, but that's the novelty of it, I guess. You put the teeth in your mouth. Yeah. We said bananas, a few lollies we don't like.

But we're asking you on 131060. We go to Lisa. Lisa, worst lolly, go for it. The milk bottles. The only people that like them have grey hair and no teeth. But we're asking you on 131060. We go to Lisa. Lisa, Worst Lolly. Go for it. The milk bottles. The only people that like them have grey hair and no teeth. I agree. I don't like milk bottles.

I like them. You can't. You have the worst lolly taste, Babs. I'm learning this about you. No. I mean, they're yum. A milk bottle. I'm with you, Lisa.

My hair's not grey yet. Well, the milk bottles taste horrible. Thank you. Ellie on 131060. What's your nomination for worst lolly? I'm very un-Australian. Anything green or yellow. Oh, okay. So the pineapples you don't like?

And cheap lollies. Cheap lollies are horrible. Yeah. Where do you like, because Alan's have come in obviously saying the teeth are discontinued, but you can still get them in their retro party mix. Where do you sit on the party mix and the classic party mix? I'm cool with that. That's fine, but I think Alan's need to bring back the blue part in the python snake. Oh, is that gone? It's been gone for years. I haven't had a python, I must admit, in a long time. The thick pythons that we're talking about?

Yeah, the big pythons, not snakes. Python, a proper big snake. All the blue is gone. They no longer make it. Oh, the big pythons, not snakes. Python, a proper big snake. All the blue is gone. They no longer make it. Oh, the blue's fantastic. Okay. Well, that's blown my mind. Tegan on 131060. Hot topics here. What's the worst, Lolly? Fisherman's friends. Like any, like

aniseed. I don't like licorice, so black cats as well. Yeah, black cats are gross. Black jelly beans. I haven't had a fisherman's friend in a long time. I had one a couple of weeks ago. Of course you did. I'm not even joking.

Did you have it with your teeth and your bananas? No. Did you enjoy the fisherman's friend? Not really, no. I draw the line there, but my housemate likes them, so. Sarah, worst lolly? Sour warheads or the hot warheads. They're the worst. Oh, see, I'm a sour guy. I like sour warheads.

What are you, Babs? Yuck, I don't like anything sour either. Oh, we finally found something Babs doesn't like, guys. The only lolly Babs doesn't eat. Oh, thank you, Sarah. Brittany on 131060, what's your nomination for worst lolly? Minties or anything mint-flavored. Hmm, yeah, see, minties are one of those ones I think I used to like, but now you have a minty and it rips your feelings out. Like, what's the point of mint? Lollies are meant to be fun, and mint is not a fun flavor. It's reserved for toothpaste and chew gum.

You are right, and it looks so – you open it, it's just this white, square, thick cube looking at you. I like opening it. Of course, Babs. I think what we're learning here, guys, is Babs has horrible taste in lollies. All the lollies no one likes, Babs is keeping in business. Tash on 131060, worst lolly? Spearmint leaves.

Yeah. I mean, I can't get around spearmint. Surely Babs. No, I hate them. Yeah, good. I think, to me, spearmint leaves take the cake. They're out there with black jelly beans. Like, I just...

Yeah, I don't like black jelly beans. They're gross. All right, do you want to go to Emma Babs? Sure, Emma. What's your worst lolly? Licorice. Anything licorice. Yeah, licorice is such... It's one of those things I think you don't like and then your taste buds develop and all of a sudden one day you seem to.

Yeah, I mean, I like bullets. Bullets are good. Oh, chocolate bullets? Because they've got chocolate with them but I wouldn't be able to eat licorice by itself. What about, okay, Emma, do you like red licorice? Maybe when I was younger, but no, no. Can't even do the flavoured ones anymore. I know Daphne did like mango and sour apple for a while there, but no. Yeah, no, I'm with you.

Okay, let's wrap it up here with Lisa. Great suggestions, everyone, as well. Not overlapping. Lisa, finish us off here. Land us in the Hudson. What's the worst, Lolly? I just have to say first that I love teeth in milk bottles as well, so I'm a definite with Babs there.

Thanks, Lisa. Yeah, I hate Chico's. Are they called Chico's now? They're gross. Yeah, I don't know. Cheekies now, I think. Are they cheekies? Oh, yeah, my bad.

Cheekies. Yeah, my bad. Cheekies. don't know. Cheekies now, I think. Are they cheekies? Oh, yeah, my bad. Yeah. My bad. Cheekies. Sorry, guys. Cheekies. Hey, hey. Yeah, we're all learning. No, I agree.

Cheekies are disgusting. I love them. No, you don't. Oh, I actually do. Oh, see, Lisa, you're not with her anymore. See, I backed her in the teeth in the milk bottle. I cannot back you in the cheek. Get out, Mads.

Get out. Jess and Ducco. You know, Jess in today. She's obviously away, still sick. Hopefully she's back on deck tomorrow. Don't forget as well, we've got tickets to see the one and only... Dua Lipa, double pass to Dua Lipa with accommodation, thanks to the newly opened Ridges Australia Square,

refreshingly local hospitality in the heart of Sydney. That thing is fantastic. So I think we've got a few in the draw now, Babs. Yeah, a couple. A couple in the draw now, but it's not over. I mean, we even had Tony call through who played Alphabucks, and it turns out Tony wasn't even calling through to play Alphabucks. I really want a Dua Lipa ticket.

Tony, that's what the real reason she's called in. It's not to say hi to Babs. It is not for Alphabucks. It's to get in the draw for Dua Lipa tickets. Well, you're already in the draw just for getting through on 13, 10, 60. That was easy. Ah, Tony. She just wanted do or leave tickets.

Well, Tony's in the draw. It's that easy. You can get involved any time. More chances tomorrow. We have one of the great fun topics today because obviously half the team's dead and six, so it's just you and me. What's the worst lolly? Asking the big questions.

Huge hitting questions here on Hit Breakfast for your Wednesday morning. But Babs, you filled in today for Jess. You got to sit in the comfy hot chair. How'd that feel? Yeah, felt weird. Feeling good? Yeah, I feel pretty good. Did you miss answering the phones? Kind of, yeah. Sometimes I'm like, I don't know what to say here.

Let's be real. When the listeners were calling, when the rice cooks were calling in cooking and you were just like, mm-hmm, yep, great, fantastic. Yep, come on. Look, you did a great job, Babs. Well done. Thank you. Stepped in, last minute notice.

Jess, obviously, couldn't come in. Shaka couldn't come in. I think Babs did a fantastic job. Thank you. Well done, Babs. Boss Jase, you stepped in as well. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, you did a great job.

Yeah, I did a great job. Also, Babs, thanks for filling in today. There's more cheese now in the fridge for the rest of the staff, which is great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everyone can get a cheese. Everyone can have some cheese now. And I'll tell you what, the room doesn't smell. That's one thing I've really noticed.

It also hasn't been freezing cold in here either. It's just been Jess's in here. Yeah, I know. The air-cond just pumps it hard up. I was like, I need to make it cool. More cool. Hey, look, we're out of here. Hopefully you've enjoyed what we've put on for you today.

Back tomorrow, hopefully with Jess, maybe not. Shagai should be here, though. He's been homesick. So, look, some form of show, some form of normality, hopefully tomorrow. More chances of dual-event tickets. Alpha Bucks for $10,000. Maybe I'll be asking the questions. I don't know if I will be allowed.

Yeah, I don't know after that one. Yeah, I had to slip up. If you miss it, go check out the podcast. There'll be one up today, wherever you get your podcasts or on Listener. But, hey, we're out of here. Stay well. Babs, do you want to say anything? This is it.

This is your big moment. Say something. Come on, say something. I'm crumbling. Come on, say one thing. Have a nice day, everyone. Oh, wow, guys. Wow.

Wow. Highbrow Radio. Jase is shaking his head at me. We're out of here, team. Enjoy. We'll see you tomorrow. Bye. Sitting in Jess's chair. Yeah, this is a big moment for you. We're out of here, team. Enjoy. We'll see you tomorrow. Bye. Sitting in Jess's chair.

Yeah, this is a big moment for you. Yeah, it's a bit moist. Jess and Ducko. That was the Jess and Ducko podcast. Macca's fiery new spicy chicken McRap is even more reason for a Macca's run.
