Gather your little helpers, because the Elf on the Shelf Happy Meal has arrived at Macca's.
Jess and Ducco! This is the Jess and Ducco Podcast.
Welcome everyone to the podcast.
What's your favourite Christmas song? Do you like the It's Beginning to Look Alot?
Yeah, Michael Bublé's It's Beginning to Look Alot. That to me, just hearing the timbres in his voice come on, it genuinely gives me an erection.
We had, we had, notice how I just blew right past that. It makes a lot of sense.
It does.
Okay, tell me I'm not wrong.
Like when.
Oh, it's going to be a 32 second intro.
No, no, it's a build up.
Oh, you want me to do it?
I think that adds to it because I'm getting the fanny flutters already.
You're getting the flutters?
And then.
I'm getting chub, Chaka.
What are you getting over there?
Nothing.
You're getting the his and the testes?
Nah, he likes Bieber's mistletoe.
This is not going to do it.
I still wouldn't say it gives me a chub.
Oh, mate.
You would.
You get a chub from peas, so don't act like it doesn't.
Is that a Kit Kat Chunky in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Oh, no, it's a Chunky.
Meanwhile, I've got the Kit Kat Mini in mine.
You've got the fun size.
We should call Shy Guy Chunky.
Hey, Chunky.
Hey, Chunkster.
It's too late.
Here we go.
It's too late.
Here we go.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
Babs slipped off her chair.
Channels are sliding around everywhere.
Wow.
So we set up the tree yesterday, and, you know,
obviously I actually really like Sia's Candy Cane Lane.
Oh, do you?
So we start with that, and then it naturally,
because obviously we're in the pop world, it went to Mistletoe Bieber.
But then I think Spotify runs out of pop pop slut, you know, Christmas carols.
So it goes to your classics, your Mariahs, your Bublays.
Yeah.
Have you heard Bublay do that very un-woke 2024, very un-PC,
baby, it's cold outside.
I really can't stay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bublay doing that.
It's so smooth. It's so good, isn't it? The lyrics are not. Bublé doing that. It's so smooth.
It's so good, isn't it?
The lyrics are not good.
I know that.
But Christ, he's so...
He's got a velvet voice.
Oh, it's milk and honey.
It's milk and honey.
I don't know if...
Is it just called Baby, It's Cold Outside?
I think it is.
I'm not surprised it's not in the system.
What is the Spider-Man theme by Michael Bublé in our system we've got right here?
Hold on.
Spider-Man, Spider-Man.
Friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.
I don't hate it.
Well, then fame he's ignored.
Action is his reward.
Look out.
Here comes the Spider-Man.
Wow.
I've never heard that.
I love Big Band.
I love that.
Oh, no.
Is that not this one?
No, no. This one's a good.
I'm not surprised.
It's probably been eradicated from anything, you know, modern.
God, he's good.
He's good, isn't he?
What gets you going for Christmas, Babs?
I love Last Christmas by William.
Oh, you would.
Yes.
I love that song.
Last Christmas.
I reckon that's probably that, Blue Blaze,
and Mariah.
Yeah.
Like, I know Mariah's the queen,
but they're probably the three.
What about Justin?
Yeah, what about Justin?
What about Justin Bieber's Christmas special
that only Shy Guy listens to?
We did a whole Christmas album.
Wow, and no one listened to it.
Did he?
You bought it, didn't you?
You got the vinyl.
That's right.
Sure.
Oh, here we go.
This is my favourite from Justin.
If I had to pick any,
it would be... You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not cry. He sounds here we go. This is my favourite from Justin. If I had to pick any, it would be... He sounds like a child.
Is he 16 then?
It was 2011, so Bieber was born then.
God, what time ago.
Poor Bieber.
Anyway, so it was a good...
We don't have Il Divo in the system, do we?
I don't think so.
You know I love a holy night.
Yeah.
Just check.
And then a space?
Devo.
Not even any Ildevo. You'd be surprised how much we
don't have in the system. I know, for a radio
station. Who is it? D-E-V-O.
D-I-V-O? Ildevo? Ildevo!
But anyway, I'm glad you put your tree up.
I've got mine up, yours is up, Shaga's is up.
Remember I told you about the twinkling setting on the
fairy lights? Yes. Nothing more magical. I love a twinkle. And then you turn them on at night and you're just like, yours is up, Shaga's is up. Remember I told you about the twinkling setting on the fairy lights? Yes.
Nothing more magical.
I love a twinkle.
And then you turn them on at night and you're just like, this is the best thing ever.
The twinkle actually annoys me.
Of course it does.
I fucking would, you green shit.
You should cry.
No, I like the lights on.
What are you doing?
Have you done what you're doing for Christmas Day yet this year?
Because you didn't know what you were going to do.
Yeah, I'm with mum.
You are going to do what you're going to do with your mum.
I mean, after we're on air, obviously.
What's your mum's staple?
Like, what's her lunch special on Christmas?
It's like chicken and seafood.
Okay.
Yeah.
We always have a roast chicken.
We always have a ham, a roast chicken.
Yeah, or a ham will be there.
Potato bake.
Yeah, ham will be there.
Veggies, a pine salad.
Is potato bake the potato for Christmas?
Yep.
Yeah.
I see.
We do, like, steamed.
Or roast.
Roast potatoes.
You probably do roast.
Steamed?
No, it's not steamed.
I get them confused.
Steamed potatoes.
I get them confused.
I don't think you're doing steamed potatoes.
Yeah, yeah.
Steamed.
It's roast.
Yeah, roast potatoes.
Yeah, yeah, gorge, gorge.
Classic.
Yeah.
Classic.
Is your tree up yet, Babs?
Yes.
Well, I had to put up my family tree last night with my sister.
Oh, that's what you guys were doing.
Yep.
But I put up the house one the other day too.
You are the boss of this share house.
If you weren't there, nothing would get done.
So true. Who puts up the star in your family one the boss of this share house. If you weren't there, nothing would get done. So true.
Who puts up the star in your family one?
Well, my little sister was adamant that she had to do it,
but then it was all flopping over, so then I tried,
and it wasn't working, so then Dad had to get a big stick
and put it in the middle, and then Dad did it with cable ties.
How high is your family tree?
How high?
Yeah, how tall is it?
It's a real one.
Oh, you're on the real ones?
Yeah, we would get a real one.
So much ad bin though.
And then they die.
And the pine needles.
The pine needles.
Yeah.
But dad likes that because then he can just chop it up and put it in the bin on Christmas
Day.
So true.
Are you taking the tree down on Christmas Day?
Yeah, he does it in the afternoon because he doesn't like it.
He's a Grinch.
Wow.
Because he doesn't like Christmas or because he...
He just doesn't like shit lying around the house.
And so he's like, all right, we're done here.
The presents are open.
Let's get rid of it.
He does that, yeah.
Wow.
There could be a phone topic in that.
I was just like...
I started.
Yeah.
I just started writing it out.
Hey, you can talk it out with me.
We're here.
No, no.
I wanted to let...
Yeah.
We could do like, yeah.
I mean, how soon after?
Well, you know what?
Because even...
I don't know if we can expand it out, but I remember going to one of my girlfriends,
Diana Delac's house for New Year's, yeah?
Couldn't have a full name?
Absolutely.
It sounds like a fragrance of mine.
I love when parents name their kid and then it's, you know,
the double, what word am I trying to say?
The double letter.
What is that?
What is that?
Alliteration.
But the same letter.
So Diana Delac always gets a full name.
But Renata, her mum, started vacuuming, I swear to God,
10 past 12.
See you later.
Everyone get out.
She was vacuuming.
She was mopping.
I went, it's just gone New Year.
She's like, yeah, nah, time to clean.
Move.
Move.
Get out of the way.
But Babs' dad chopping up the Christmas tree that afternoon.
On Christmas afternoon.
Get out of here, kids.
You live on a farm.
Yeah, you do.
What is it?
How soon does it all come down?
Or how soon are you over it?
Yeah, how soon are you over it?
You've typed.
I'll stop using my pen and paper like the army.
We'll do it tomorrow.
I'll type it too.
Type it.
Write it down.
We don't want to forget.
Over Christmas.
Got it.
Got it.
Can we get Damien on?
I'd love to hear it from the horse's mouth.
Yeah, that would be fun.
Maybe.
Can we get your dad on a debut?
Except then he might be like, no, I don't do it that quickly, Billy.
He probably would.
Oh, does he not know you don't let the truth get in the way of a good story?
No, none of our families know that.
Because I guess Babs is still, is this your first, this will be your first year on air,
isn't it?
Yes.
Like in the on-air world.
Yeah, in radio.
Now it's going to take time for your parents to catch on.
Yeah.
About adding mayo to stories.
Geez, you'd be their favourite child after this year, after you've just saw it in stocks,
I reckon.
I don't know about that.
Oh, really?
Really.
Surely. Stored in stocks.ared in stocks, I reckon. I don't know about that. Oh, really? Really. Surely.
Soared in stocks.
Like your stocks have gone up.
Oh, but also we've talked about her family a lot, so they could have dropped her stocks.
No, your parents love it when we talk about it on the radio.
I know they go around the local villages at Maitland and they're all like, I heard you
on the radio.
As they go and borrow cups of sugar from their neighbours.
It's not home.
No, but there is a local Maitland Square, you know.
With the fountain.
The mall. The mall. The levee. The levee, yeah. They go to the levee and people, I there is at the local Maitland Square. With the fountain. The mall.
The mall.
The levee.
They go to the levee
and people don't know
who they are now.
I hear Billy doing so well.
The carls.
Oh, yeah.
That's happened, hasn't it?
No, I don't think so.
It has.
No one asks Angus,
my husband,
I don't know why
I'm telling you people husband,
how he is.
I forgot we were
not on air for a second.
No one asks Angus how he is anymore because they all go,
oh, I know how you are.
I heard you on the radio.
That's the same as Damo and Simone.
Yeah.
I don't need to ask how you are.
We get it.
We hear about your adventures.
We hear about you through Babsy.
Oh, how was the cruise?
Actually, never mind.
Question.
Swingers cruise.
Obviously.
Are you liking the name Babs now?
Yeah.
I don't know if you ever hated it,
but like are you like feeling like it's more your name?
Sometimes I get at work when someone calls me Billy.
I'm like, who's that?
Yeah, yeah.
Interesting.
Are your friends outside of work calling you Babs?
No.
Okay.
Do your friends call you Shy Guy?
No, only radio people.
Only radio people.
That's a real radio nickname.
But not people I worked with on another network.
They go by the old nickname.
Shep Daddy?
Shepatata?
Slim Reaper? No. What was the old nickname. Shep Daddy? Shepatata? Slim Reaper?
No.
What was the old nickname?
It was Mook.
That's right.
That is a wet nickname.
That's a wet nickname.
Speaking of Mook.
Mookie.
Yeah, that's funny.
I rarely talk to them anyway.
Why Mook?
Oh, it's a story.
No, the first time they met me, they heard our boss introduce me as Mook.
Oh, instead of Luke.
Because it was some sort of...
Like a child getting it wrong.
I've officially changed my phone to Shy Guy because I kept searching Shy Guy.
It was Luke Shepley.
Like, I've changed Babs to Babs.
That was like I had you as Nick Allen Duck for so long.
I'm like, why?
You're Duck in mind, but you're still Jess Hit Newcastle in mind.
So fucking rude.
It is so unbelievably rude.
I think because I organised that interview for you once
many years ago
and I was in Sydney.
That's what Billy was.
Billy hit 106.9
and then...
But once you level jumped,
you edited it, right?
You edited it, yeah.
Is she Billy or Babs?
She's Babs now.
Oh, she's Babs now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've just set us
so far back in our friendship.
I thought we had level jumped
when you met my in-laws.
I'm a Gordon newsletter recipient now.
Let them go.
See, and yet I'm still...
Let them win. Yeah. What, has it already been drawn? No, can you met my in-laws. I'm a Gorman newsletter recipient now, thanks. See, and yet I'm still judging. You didn't even win.
Can you not tag me in that shit?
Fucking hell, I saw it and I was like, this is a joke.
I thought it was just me and I felt sort of special.
And then you tagged them all.
I literally was like, oh, tag some people, and I went,
who? I think I've got to do duck up.
That's not going to judge me.
None of us won, so I'm deleting my comment off the post now.
I don't want to be associated with Gorman.
Imagine if you'd won.
Hey, I gave you my $20 off.
You would have had to swap with Babs and gotten me for Secret Santa.
That could have been your Secret Santa.
And you did it all for your colleague, Jess, hit Newcastle.
Yeah, I know.
She's met my in-laws.
I thought we'd level jumped.
I thought we were stronger.
And your parents.
Oh, yeah, my parents too.
Oh, jeez.
Anyway.
Takes a while to get into Shy Guy's trap. Maybe next year. Evidently. Maybe next year. He's got were stronger. And your parents. Oh, yeah, my parents too. Oh, jeez. Anyway.
Takes a while to get into Shanghai's trap.
Evidently.
Evidently. Maybe next year.
He's got me bothered, you know.
I know where it is and how to find you.
Just like a cold orphan on Christmas Day breathing at his glass.
It is funny when I'm in the car, though, and my car goes,
Jess, hit Newcastle says.
Shall I go to chuckle at it?
I thought it wasn't another Jess, you know.
Yeah.
Yeah, see, you're never going to get that confused.
God forbid my very common name.
Yeah.
Farchione.
You know so many Jesses.
I don't know any of the Jesses anyway.
I'm mitigating future Jesses.
That feels rare to only know one Jess.
Yeah, it does feel rare.
Such a common name.
It is a common name.
No, I don't.
I don't think I do.
There you go.
There you go.
Anyway.
It's a great show.
It's a beautiful show.
A lot of fun for a Monday. So much fun. There you go. Anyway. It's a great show. It's a beautiful show. A lot of fun for a Monday.
So much fun.
And enjoy it.
Mm-hmm.
Jess and Ducko in the morning.
Welcome to a new week, team.
Oh, good morning, darling rice cookers.
This is the last Monday you'll have with Jess and Ducko.
JD's last dance.
For 2024.
Not forever. Not that we know of yet. Not that we know of yet. We keep saying, though. This is the last Monday you'll have with Jess and Ducko. JD's last dance. For 2024.
Not forever.
Not that we know of yet.
Not that we know of yet.
We keep saying, though, we're living every day as if it's our last.
Let's not put this out into the world.
Not after the last ratings.
Are you kidding?
Amen, brother.
We're riding high.
Business is good at JD HQ.
But this is our last week on air for 2024 before some mandatory professional development.
You know, though, I must say, look at us go.
A lot of shows finished last Friday.
Yeah, they did, actually. You know what I mean?
Like the summer breakfast is starting, except us.
We busted through.
We're still, we're saying, we want it to stay until Christmas Day.
I mean, you know, we're coming back on for our Christmas show spectacular.
Absolutely.
You can't keep us away on a family holiday.
What time are we on of the day for Christmas Day?
I don't know.
Okay.
We're going to need that in the calendars.
Is it 10am?
I thought it would be 9.
9 till midday or something?
The roster keeps changing.
Okay.
Well, anyway, we'll be in.
You just don't worry about that.
We're all here.
Absolutely.
That'll be fun.
And obviously the podcast.
Obviously the potty.
If you need to relive us.
Yeah, always.
Always, always.
But we do need professional development because we need to, you know.
We want to sharpen our tools.
That's it. For you, dear sharpen our tools. That's it.
For you, dear rice cookers.
That's it.
Speaking of feeling sharp, how was the weekend?
You're a busy boy.
Busy boy.
Yeah, I did the today show yesterday, the weather up in Queensland, up in the Gold Coast.
But not Saturday, just Sunday.
Just Sunday, yeah.
Sunday rates, you're smart.
Obviously.
And we had our staff Christmas party Friday night.
So, you know, come on.
I'm not an animal.
So when Channel 9 calls and goes, oh, Darko, we're going to need you.
I'm sorry it's last minute. Yeah. We're going to need you the weekend, you know, come on. I'm not an animal. So when Channel 9 calls and goes, oh, Darko, we're going to need you. I'm sorry it's last minute.
Going to need you the weekend, you know, start of December.
I can do the Sunday.
I'm going to need to take it easy on the Saturday.
They really needed me for that too because they had no one to do it for the Sunday.
And I'd said no ages ago to both days.
Oh, yes.
And then they're like, we need you.
And I was like, okay, I'll do the Sunday.
So did they just have no weather on Saturday?
Who did it?
I actually don't know who they used.
I'm not sure.
Okay.
Carlos surely wasn't a wet and wild himself.
I wouldn't have thought so.
Not for the day one of summer.
I'll unpack that throughout the show with you.
Oh, okay, sure.
Yeah, there was a few debacles with that, but then I had plane debacles getting home.
Oh, a lot of debacles.
There was debacles because of storms.
This is the worst part about flying at this time of the season, particularly when I do
a lot of the weather stuff, is it's electrical storms everywhere.
And is the issue that you've just reported on while coming up today,
there's probably going to be some storms.
Chance of showers, I always say.
Damn it, now I am on that plane facing that storm.
Now I'm one of those people going, it's not that bad, just fly.
Imagine if you're on the flight and someone goes,
you said it was going to be sunny.
Yeah, yeah, I'm waiting for that day to happen.
You told me today it was sunny and it's not.
You're a monster, weatherman.
I'm waiting for that day.
And you had a big weekend too, celebrant.
That's right.
I was celebrant for some very dear friends.
Angus's oldest friend, in fact, on Friday.
And God, how good's a Friday wedding?
Yeah.
Because you're ripping, you have a great time.
Then the recovery on Saturday.
But it's funny, I was celebrant for them.
And, you know and I think the
pressure I'd put on myself, the anxiety I'd put
on myself, period came yesterday
and I was like, well there you go, obviously I'd relaxed
enough now. Hold on!
It came! It came, Babs!
I was getting a little bit, you know, I've
thrown up, I've had some weird grams, I'm like
what's going on?
But nah, I think it was just the stress of wanting to
execute. You and Babs have been in sync for a long time.
We synced up months ago, and then I think we dropped out
because I think I've had some stress and some pressures.
Babs, are we back on?
Not quite.
Oh, no.
We're going to end the year out of sync.
Oh, no.
That means Shaka are getting in sync.
Oh, no. That's all right.aka are getting in sea. Oh, no.
That's all right.
We push through.
Yeah, we do.
But that's good to know.
We put our tree up last night.
Oh, there you go.
So here's the season.
Feeling good.
Yeah.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
How did the little one go?
Do you know what?
We only broke one bauble.
Okay, that's good.
And that's on me because I gave it to her thinking it was plastic.
Yeah.
And she's learned how to throw.
So she threw it to the ground.
Oh, shattered.
Cracked it.
Quickly.
Oops.
Scoop her up.
Tears.
Angus, get the dust buster.
We're all good.
Did she know what was going on or it was just a weird tree?
It was just a weird tree.
I put her in her gingerbread outfit, put bows in her hair, and I think she was a bit like,
what am I doing here?
Yeah.
Can I go over there and play on the dog's bed?
I can't wait till the age where she's like, stop dressing me up.
She's been born into that sort of family.
So I doubt that'll...
That sort of family, that sort of person.
Just you.
Just you.
Hey, man, Angus wore his little hat so he didn't complain.
Yeah, I saw him clean the barbecue wearing a hat.
What a night.
What a sad...
Jess is on her period.
Angus is in his Christmas hat and she has a little gingerbread.
We're all happy.
We're a happy family. We've broken the baubles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Weus is in his Christmas hat and she has a little gingerbread. We're all happy. We're a happy family.
We've broken the baubles.
We are so happy.
I know.
All my glass baubles.
I'm like, oh, God, put them up high.
That's like therapy, though.
You know, like a smash room thing?
Yeah, yeah.
Maybe we've done a bit.
Jess and I have done a rage room.
We have, yeah.
What was your weapon of choice?
Did you like the crowbar?
I liked the crowbar.
It was good.
I've had that long, like, bit of metal.
Remember that long, thin bit of metal?
Yep, yep.
I didn't mind the baseball bat.
Yeah.
That was good, yeah.
Hey, we better stop mucking around, though.
I know.
There's an actual show to get to.
It's a big week.
It's a huge show.
We've got Alphabucks, of course.
Stop talking about my period.
So sorry.
You know, it's my main topic of conversation.
Wait a minute.
I just like to keep you in the loop, you know?
I know.
I know you do.
And how did I not think to play this?
Jess, me and you are on the same cycle.
It's the last week,
Ducko, and what if we said we're not taking our foot off the gas?
You can't give up. Yeah, don't
pull up, as Mr. Reid, my
Year 9 PE teacher would say.
Till you cross the finish line.
Good morning.
Good morning, Brent. Sorry, Jess.
That's just far too niche.
Did you not mean to play Brent? I didn't. I've given up. The year's done. No. That's just far too niche. Did you not mean to play Brent?
I didn't.
I didn't.
I've given up.
The year's done.
No.
It was a far too niche thing about your PE teacher.
Hey, we've got Alpha Bucks.
Your chance of 10K or 1K, 630 or 8.
This is exciting.
Quiz with the Twisters on the show.
But our Call of Fame prize this week, because it's the last one, the last week, it's $1,000 cash.
You heard it here first.

And we get to look back at our Call of Fames of the year.
We have five on the short list.
The best callers of the Call of Fame.
So much fun.
It's exciting.
Going through that list.
Up next though, Jess, you missed the work Christmas party on Friday.
That's right.
I was too busy being a celebrant.
Jeez, I was pushing drinks on Babs.
Espresso martini, Babs, let's go.
And how was she?
She had to go out to dinner or something like that.
She was good though.
She was a little bit bubbly when she got to her home.
Was the madam double booked?
Oh, yeah.
Double parked and double booked.
Who books a dinner the night of the work Christmas party?
Babs, you clear your whole weekend.
But you weren't there.
Ben?
So I need to run.
There was awards.
And some on the team won an award.
But there's high controversy about this award.
And I need to run you through it.
Okay. And I voted for someone that I think should have won an award, but there's high controversy about this award, and I need to run you through it. Okay.
And I voted for someone that I think should have won an award, but didn't.
Did Babs not get most improved?
No, she didn't, actually.
It was high drama.
What?
It was high drama.
Okay, we need a full-blown ACA-style investigation.
Jess and Ducko.
Jess and Ducko.
There needs to be an investigation.
Yes. There needs to be an investigation We had our Christmas party on Friday
Which was good fun
The team was all there
Work Christmas party
Work Christmas party
Shaga had one cider
Me and Babs were ripping in a few espressos
I love that

Martinez
I love that for you guys
Everyone's getting loose
It's always funny seeing the dynamics
Of the people that don't normally drink
And they do and they get all giddy.
It is fun getting the memo from the GM.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Behavioral conduct.
Yes.
Let's make sure we all pull our heads in.
I want you to have fun.
I always pull that to Shy Guy straight away.
Oh, as do I.
I check.
You open that email?
Yep.
It needs to have some sort of confirmed ticker box.
Yep.
You know.
Yep.
But that's always a great precedent to start.
So it was all fine, but there was awards, okay?
So they have awards every year.
They do like just stupid fun office awards and joke awards.
I've noticed the fishbowl in the kitchen for the past couple weeks nominates someone for
a Christmas party recognition.
Exactly.
Yes.
So I put in, I want to say four nominations for a specific person in our team.
Did you? To win an award.
Shy guy.
Yeah.
What did you nominate him for?
Biggest snake award.
No wonder that didn't count.
No, but to be fair, someone from the culture crew reading that might be like, oh, is he a backstabber?
Oh, I see.
Oh, like Slippery Snake.
Well, okay.
I put biggest snake in brackets, penis.
Oh, go on.
You made it clear as day.
I was just trying to let everyone know.
And I thought it'd be funny to keep the joke rolling in, you know, whatever.
And then we're doing the awards and they've given out.
Snake Handler of 2024.
I know.
You're telling me someone else.
And the winner is Shy Guy.
Are you telling me someone else won that award?
Well, Jess, kind of.
So it gets to the last award of the night, right?
It gets to the last award of the night.
Yeah.
So what, off the top of your head?
What were the other awards?
Babs and Shaggy, can you help me out here?
I don't remember.
There was like...
Oh, I saw...
Shortsy won for wearing shorts all the time.
I love that.
The Daisy Duke Award.
Yep, yep.
That was funny.
That was funny.
There was...
I actually don't remember.
I love that you guys have paid no attention to anyone.
Maria, our receptionist, won one because she's leaving.
That was a sympathy one.
Babs, who else won awards?
The new guys got Fresh Meat.
Oh, they got Fresh Meat award.
They had to get up there.
And I was like, speech.
Do a speech.
Excellent, Guy.
They shat themselves.
Excellent.
Jordan's been here for three minutes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Literally.
Yeah, yeah.
He's confident, though.
Okay, but we come to the last.
We come to the last award.
We get the very last award of the night.
And they go, this is a special award.
Rah, rah, rah.
And I was like, here we go.
It's the snake. It's I was like, here we go.
It's the snake. It's the snake award.
Here we go.
And everyone's going to be awkward.
Get that pants loop ready.
Here we go.
And they go, office stud award, going to the biggest stud in the office.
Stud?
And I was like, okay, studs, horses, big penises, shy guy.
Oh, okay, yeah, I get it.
Shy guy.
Still relating it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was like, oh, he's single.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I actually tapped Shy Guy on the shoulder. I go, oh, this is going to be really exciting. Start standing up. I was like so excited for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, oh, he's single. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I actually tapped Shag on the shoulder.
I go, oh, this is going to be really exciting.
Start standing up.
I was like so excited for it.
And they go, the winner is Ducco.
I was like, what?
I was like, it is?
What?
And I was so off it.
Like, I was like, and I got there.
I was like, thank you so much.
It was like for having a baby girl.
Like, congratulations.
Oh, for impregnating your wife.
And then I was like, what?
The scientist did that. You know I didn like, what? The scientist did that.
You know I didn't do that.
The lab did that.
Office, because you're right, even horse insemination,
like it could work.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
I was thinking peen, horse, this, that.
But it was mainly just to say congrats on being pregnant this year
and whatever.
It was really nice and whatever.
That's a nice acknowledgement at the Christmas party.
I sat down.
I was first.
I was just like, man, I really want to chug on this peen to win.
That's selfless, man.
That is a selfless winner.
I mean, I did go home and put my stud of wood on the fridge
and I said to Morgan, I was like, still got it, baby.
Jess and Ducko.
Take us to one of our favourite places, Ducko.
Where are we going?
We're going India.
Oh, ducking over to Delhi, eh?
Well, no, we're on the west coast.
Oh, whereabouts?
Are we in?
A couple of miles north of Mumbai. Oh, yeah? Surat. Surat, no, we're on the west coast. Oh, whereabouts? Are we in... A couple miles north of Mumbai.
Oh, yeah?
Surat.
Surat, that's what I was going to say.
Yeah, we're specifically at the Viennamad South Gurujat University.
Yes.
In Surat.
Yeah.
Because they have made a move.
They've made a move at the university, Ducko, which I'm calling brat.
I'm calling the most 2024 brat move I've ever seen.
Do you know what brat means yet?
I think it's got something to do with your attitude.
Okay.
And your energy.
Because I don't.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think I've used it correctly.
Okay.
It feels young and fun.
Okay.
Yeah?
Yeah.
And green.
Yeah.
In the most 2024 move I've ever read, they have brought in something, a few things actually,
to help spread positive vibes.
All right?
Yes.
They're building this new university.
There were some issues with their 48-year-old buildings that were standing.
They're old.
They're crumbling.
They went, let's knock them down.
Let's build some new ones.
Yeah.
Some issues are happening on construction.
There's bad juju around here.
Yeah.
Got to bring in some positivity.
Get some good vibes. One of the most revered animals in India, Ducko. Oh's bad juju around here. Got to bring in some positivity. Get some good vibes.
One of the most revered animals in India, Ducko, is the cow.
Hey, cow!
So they've brought in five to seven cows to live around the construction,
to live in the admin building.
Oh, because, yeah, they worship cows.
They do.
They do not eat cows.
If you go to India and McDonald's, you will not get a beef burger.
Do they milk the cow?
Why couldn't you get...
That's a great question. What do I have they milk the cow? That's a great question.
I don't know if they do.
That's a great question.
Does Indian culture use full cream?
I don't think.
I don't think they touch the cows.
Both our producers.
Cows are milked in India.
They are milked in India.
Copy that.
They are world leader in dairy production.
Okay.
Thank you, Shaga.
But they are not slaughtered.
Hey, hey.
That feels good for the cow.
You're easing the cow.
Can you imagine?
Because it's like a breastfeeding mama. When those things get too full, it's very uncomfortable. Yeah, hey, that feels good for the cow. You're easing the cow. Can you imagine? Because it's like a
breastfeeding mama. When those things get too
full, it's very uncomfortable.
So we've got to do everything we can to keep the cows comfortable.
But they have
actually gone to some non-for-profits,
so NGOs, and said,
hey, you've got a couple of cows lying around that you're not
using. Can we just have them at the university
for a couple of months while we finish
construction? Because then people see them on the site and they're like, oh my God.
It's a good sign.
It's almost like you pull your head in a bit.
I've got to act better.
I've got to be better.
It's a good omen.
Because we've got cows on site.
It's a good omen.
So these are some of the problems that the university was facing.
Low pass rates of students in the undergraduate courses.
There was a delay in the construction.
There were issues with equipment.
Yeah, always delays in construction.
Always.
The university had like an exam leak.
Like someone got the paper and was giving it out to students.
So there was cheating allegations.
There was cheating.
A good cow will stop you from cheating.
Well, the board went to an astrologer, an expert in his field,
and said, look, what do we got to do?
And the astrologer said, you're going to need some cows.
You're going to need them facing this certain direction said, you're going to need some cows. Hey, cow!
You're going to need them facing this certain direction and you're going to need some cows.
So they got the cows.
That's funny.
Apparently the vibes are high.
And everyone's fine.
No one's cheating anymore.
No one's cheating anymore.
The construction's on time.
People are loving each other again.
It's worked so well that they're now going to introduce
at the university a cow-based course.
Sunny cow. To include cow-based course. Sunny cow.
To include cow-based farming, learning about organic products.
Milking.
And biogas technology.
Because you know, cows, one of the world's leading contributors to methane, it's like
ruining the ozone.
Oh, because of their farts.
Because of their farts.
Yes.
So, if you feed cows a certain way, there's like a special seaweed.
Yeah, that's right.
You want to learn all this stuff.
That's right.
To counteract some of the negatives.
What do you think, because that's what we see in India.
The cows are, you know, blessed.
Yes.
What do you think in Australia would be the animal to get us on the vibes?
If we had a bad construction site.
Remember we talked in this room, we were going to try and get some hermit crabs.
Yeah.
To be like the studio pet.
Still waiting on those.
No, but then we learned.
Then we learned.
We're going to cook them.
They smell.
Well, in the sun they cook and it's a whole thing.
And the studios
are already smelly enough.
We don't need
you and hermit crabs.
That's so true.
Jess was at C-Nuts
the hermit crabs bit.
You're right.
I see a lot of
construction sites
you know the tradies
bring their kelpie
or you know
and he sits in the tray
and has a great time
he always adds a good vibe.
But something fun
like would it be
ibises
you know
full of bin chickens.
Yeah, a couple of plovers.
A couple of plovers.
Oh, no, plovers.
Oh, no.
That pulls your head in.
You work harder when there's a plover around.
Or you put plovers on the perimeter.
Yes.
So they'll swoop you if you try and leave or do anything wrong.
Yes, it's not so much about the brat vibes.
I see.
It's just about getting the job done faster, maybe.
What is...
Oh, if a kangaroo, you know, our national animal, was standing by on a job site... Pest, though. Oh. You know? But I'd pull my head in. Oh, if a kangaroo, you know, our national animal, was standing by on a job site.
Pest, though.
Oh.
You know?
But I'd pull my head in.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, you wouldn't want to fight one.
You know what I mean?
We've got a lot of tough animals that you just would pull your head around because you'd
be scared of them.
An emu?
An emu?
An emu?
Yes, you are.
The Great Emu War?
Cassowary?
Christ.
They are majestic creatures.
They are, but they will knock a sucker out.
Oh, yeah, with their skull thing on their head?
That helmet.
Yeah, it is.
These aren't so much about bringing positive vibes.
No.
It's just about...
We're just...
Crocodiles, that's not going to work once again.
I'll be scared.
Snakes, probably not.
Spiders.
No, I can't.
Oh, my God, the Irukandji.
Oh.
Which is in a tank.
I've survived one of those.
You have.
And I'm barely here.
Live to tell the tale.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know what animals bringing positive...
Oh, maybe one of our pretty birds, the rosella.
Oh, yeah.
Might be nice.
Or a fish.
Where are we going to put a freaking fish?
Which fish is going to bring you the best vibes, Shai?
Like a nemo fish?
You want a goldfish?
Or a clownfish?
Or a dory?
Just one little fish tank.
There's just one dory just cruising around in there.
But the vibes from Shai will be sky high.
Rocketing.
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 to you, of course, if there is time.
We're all playing for either 10K or 1K.
The choice is yours.
Tamika, good morning.
Hello.
How are you going?
We're so good.
How are you for a Monday?
Oh, beautiful.
Beautiful.
Just living the dream, Tamika.
I don't know if I've made the right choice with this 10K question.
Oh, so you've locked in grown-ups.
Okay. This is the last Monday 6.30am quiz we'll play for the Oh, so you've locked in grown-ups. Okay.
This is the last Monday 6.30am quiz we'll play for the year,
so we need you to be good to me.
Yeah, we need you to be confident.
And look, last time I offered someone a late change,
they accepted it and they still didn't do very well.
Do I offer to me? No, I'm going to stick to it.
I love it.
She's a woman of her word.
Back yourself in, sis.
What do you want to do with $10,000?
Have a good Christmas. Amen, sis. What do you want to do with $10,000? Have a good Christmas.
Amen, sis.
What a silly question.
Jingle, jingle, jingle.
Well, this is a great, great omen for Tamika
because you are going to play with our most successful letter
in Alpha Bucs.
What are you laughing at?
No, I was kidding.
No, no.
Just keep going.
No, I want to know.
No, no.
I want to know.
I was like, why did I just say jingle, jingle, jingle?
Because I thought I couldn't say ho, ho, ho.
I was going to say ho, ho, ho to me.
I was like, that's going to be rude.
So I said jingle, jingle, jingle.
Who says that?
I just thought you were being bells.
No one pulled me up on it in the team.
That's what you know we're tired.
Tis the season.
If you want to jingle, jingle, jingle. Yeah, thank you so much.
Jingle jingle jingle. I don't know Jingle All The Way
is your favourite Christmas movie. It is.
Tamika, you have got
the most successful letter we've ever
had in Alphabucks history.
I wish I could say it's J for jingle,
but no, it's K. It's K
for Kris Kringle.
Okay. Okay. Alright, we're on Tamika. Tam it's K. It's K for Kris Kringle. Okay.
Okay.
All right.
We're on, Tameka.
Tameka's on.
She want to give her a pump up jingle, jingle, jingle?
Hey, Tameka.
Jingle, jingle, jingle.
Yeah!
Thanks.
That helped.
Let's go.
Your time will start after the first question, Tam.
Let's do it.
Starting with the letter K.
We need you to name a food brand.
Krispy Kreme.
A type of alcohol.
Pass.
Somewhere you buy food.
KC.
A band.
Pass.
A kid's toy.
Pass.
A body part.
Me.
A marsupial.
Pass. An occupation. Me. A marsupial. Pass.
An occupation.
Pass.
A politician.
Pass.
A clothing item.
Oh, dear.
I don't know if that was jingle, jingle, jingle, don't know.
Hey, we got like seven passes, though.
Yeah, not a favourite letter.
Yeah, we got three.
Look, a type of alcohol could have been Kahlua, a band, kiss, killers, killing Heidi.
There's a few.
A kid's toy, kite or a kazoo, a marsupial, koala or kangaroo.
An occupation could have been a kindergarten teacher.
There's plenty.
And a politician, K-Rud.
I suppose Kamala Harris as well.
And a clothing item, a kilt.
Knickers. Knickers is a funny word, isn't it?
Knickers is a funny word.
Who says knickers?
Feels very, my grandma would say knickers.
Yeah, yeah. Or khaki pants, shy guys, favourite thing to wear out of the house.
Lots of pockets.
Lots of pockets. Such a practical pants.
Well, you know who does the after-bucket shoot? Who would say knickers?
Babs.
Sweet Babs, because she's 80.
I know.
Old soul. Hey, look, Tamika, wasn't the cast. We don't go away empty's 80. I know. Old soul.
Hey, look, Tamika, wasn't the cash.
We don't go empty-handed.
$100 to spend at my soda gift box.
That's Australian made all for you.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you, Tamika.
You have a wonderful Christmas, babe.
You too.
Thank you.
We do play again at eight.
Now, remember, every time we play is the last for this week,
because we're not back on air next week.
We're off.
I know.
So we would love to give you $1,000,
but let's be real.
Go for the 10.
Go for the 10.
Come on.
Christmas is around the corner.
It is December.
Yeah.
Push it.
Push yourself.
Push yourself hard.
Jingle, jingle, jingle.
Jingle, jingle, jingle.
That's our new show motto for the month of December.
Jingle, jingle, jingle.
Jess and Ducko.
Oh, my God.
Check this out.
Now, it's a video.
I can't work out where it is.
It's obviously in America.
Yes.
A lot of the comments are saying that's got to be Florida.
I know Florida feels a little bit like Australia in the creatures.
Go Gators.
Yes, they've got a lot of things that can kill you, it sounds like, in Florida.
Yeah, and Florida's pretty fast and loose.
Yes, it sounds like gators, snakes, bears.
It's a whole thing in Florida. But this video that was sent to me that I've just sent
to you, you've watched it during the song. It's a guy in a backyard
pool, well he's on the edge of the pool, and he has watched the tail end
of a snake slither into the pool filter. So it's swimming, but it's gone into
the pool filter. And this guy's first reaction, obviously, get out the camera,
we've got to film, but it's to call for someone named Jacob.
And this young guy comes running out, maybe that's a buddy of his,
Jacob!
Help me, Jacob!
There's a snake.
And you might be thinking, what's your mate going to do?
What's this hero going to do?
Can you describe what you just watched, Ducko?
It's like a huge two-and-a-half, three-metre carpet python,
looks like it, in the pool filter. In the pool, then it goes in the pool filter, they half, three meter carpet python. Looks like it. In the pool filter box.
In the pool.
Then it goes in the pool filter.
They open it.
Then he's trying to grab it out of the pool filter while half of it's in the pool.
Which is already still wild, hey?
Yeah, yeah.
He's trying to grab it out by the tail.
And then he lets it go.
It starts swimming underwater.
He jumps in the pool with the snake and grabs it by the throat, like, just below the head.
Yep.
And holds it up in the air like Steve Irwin.
Everyone's like, Jacob's got it, man.
Jacob.
Everyone's got that one friend.
Like I had a friend who always would do that stuff with creatures and snakes and stuff.
He'd pick them up and do whatever.
Where is your fear factor?
Not for me.
Not for me.
Where is your fear factor?
It's a snake.
And as you said, it is gigantic.
It's about three times the size of Jacob.
But the comments, Ducko.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, I just want to read you a couple of them.
Because this is probably not like, it wouldn't happen all the time in Australia, but snakes
in pools and skimmer boxes, very regular.
Probably very regular.
Whereas in America, you could tell they're like, holy hell.
Who is jumping in a pool to wrestle a snake out of your buddy's backyard pool?
But a lot of the comments are like-
Once again, this isn't Shy Guy at home alone.
No, no.
This is, we're talking proper-
And we do not recommend this.
No.
This cannot be safe.
This is not the way to go about it.
Swimming with Shy Guy or?
Both.
Okay.
Wrestling with snakes in a pool.
Full stop.
A lot of the comments are, I can see why the buddy called for Jacob.
Because obviously this guy is the man.
Jacob's a few screws loose.
But Justine has said, death once had a near Jacob experience.
Oh, yeah.
Hendrix has said, Jacob doesn't need a watch.
He decides what time it is. Frank has said, Chuck Norris has a Jacob tattoo. Oh, yeah. Hendrix has said, Jacob doesn't need a watch. He decides what time it is.
Frank has said, Chuck Norris has a Jacob tattoo.
Oh, yeah.
Alice said, Jacob missed two days of school once, and now we call that the weekend.
That's a good one.
Mike has said, Jacob came before the chicken and the egg.
Oh, Jacob was, yeah, he was down.
First there was light, then there was Jacob.
Chris has said, Jacob is the only one who knows victorious secrets.
Jacob doesn't fall in love.
Love falls in Jacob.
Get it, Jake.
Someone has said, first of all, how did Jacob's balls fit into the pool?
Because he's so big.
That man was just, it was the biggest alpha move I've ever seen.
Someone said, when Graham Bell first invented the telephone,
he already had three missed calls from Jacob.
Jacob is Jesus' older brother.
When Jacob left home, he told his dad, now you are the man of the house.
Oh, yeah.
And one more.
Yeah.
Two things are seen from space, the Great Wall of China and Jacob's balls.
Jess and Daco.
I'm lucky to be here today.
I nearly didn't make it.
Did you make it?
Hold on, I'm just going to let Shagga get back in from making his toast.
Welcome back to the program, mate.
And Jess's toast.
Why would you bring the toast in as soon as, that's such a tease.
Because there's a toast party.
Now she's going to eat it on air.
I know.
This is so cool.
Have we not learnt all year?
So cool.
No, I'm going to be professional.
Okay, good, good.
Just let that toast.
I'm going to make this chat go really long so it goes cold.
And that's fine. This is the priority. Oh, I'm going to be professional. Okay, good, good. Just let that toast. I'm going to make this chat go really long so it goes cold. And that's fine.
This is the priority.
Oh, thank you.
So yesterday, hurry up.
Yesterday I was in Queensland doing the weather for the Today Show, right?
I had to fly from Brisbane to Newcastle because the flights from the Gold Coast weren't as direct
and I went to see some family, whatever.
There's all these storms everywhere.
There were storms along the whole East Coast.
It was really wet.
It was wet, a little bit wet here.
Which you knew because you'd done the weather that morning.
Hey, chance of showers.
Chance of showers.
Majority of New South Wales was pretty wet.
Queensland was soaked.
Anyway, we get in the plane.
I'd been getting these messages from Virgin that day being like, oh, it could be delays,
yada, yada, because of storms.
There wasn't.
We all get in.
They load us all onto the plane.
We're like, yes, giddy up. We're sitting on a tarmac. Full plane? Yep, full plane. Very full. There wasn't. We all get in. They load us all onto the plane. We're like, yes, giddy up.
We're sitting on the tarmac.
Full plane?
Yep, full plane.
Very full.
Ready to go.
As we're sitting there, the plane, they shut all the cabin doors and everything.
We're on here, baby.
Let's go.
We're on here.
But then they didn't move.
And then the pilot comes over, not even the hosties.
The poor hosties had to stand there and look at us.
And the pilot comes over and says, we're grounded because there's bad weather going into Newcastle.
And there's going to be more turbulence.
So we need more fuel.
So we need to add fuel to the plane.
I didn't know that was a thing.
It's like an exact science in terms of how much they carry.
With passenger weight and stuff.
So we now need to lose some weight off the plane because we've added fuel.
So we need to lose eight passengers.
You can choose amongst yourselves who goes.
You'll be rewarded with a $200 credit for the airline of Virgin.
This is like when your teacher at school would say,
pick a partner or make your own groups.
Just do it for us.
Yeah, you can't do it.
Because it's pandemonium.
And they go, so it's a $200 credit, and you can fly back that night
or when you choose maybe the next day.
No, but I'm sitting on the plane now.
I don't want to get off.
And so then the funniest thing is like, and choose amongst yourselves.
And the pilot goes off and he's locked in his cockpit and everyone's just looking around
at each other.
And it became like squid games, hunger games.
How fast do we start pointing fingers?
People were just like, and looking around and people keeping low profiles like, I don't
want to go.
Not me.
I can't go.
How many?
And then you start hearing excuses.
Oh, I've got the kids at home.
I couldn't possibly go. I'm an essential worker.
Oh, the babysitter finishes
at seven. I was just
head down hoping no one would recognise me.
Because I was by myself as well and I was just
like, please God, no, looking out the window.
So how many people needed to get off?
Eight people. There's no group
of eight. And no one moved for at least 15
minutes, right? So no one moved and then all of a sudden one person gets up and goes,
okay, they'll go.
But I thought everyone was going to be clapping.
No one clapped.
Everyone was just like, okay, one's gone.
Who's next?
I know, because you've still got seven to kick off.
Three people volunteered initially, and then I could hear people bartering
with the hosties being like, well, can I get a dinner voucher
and fly out tonight later?
A $200 credit is not enough of an
enticement. Not worth it.
If you're on your way home or
even starting your holiday, that's not enough.
We sat in this plane on the tarmac
for an hour,
an hour and 40 minutes. Are you joking?
No, just sat there. I would have thought
after 20 minutes the pilot comes out and goes,
right, you two, you're gone. That's what was funny. The pilot
did his thing, didn't come back on.
Then the hosties were trying to walk up and down the thing.
I felt a bit sorry for them.
It was not their fault.
They have to find 200 straws and make one of them short.
It was getting to that point.
I think we got four go and then a couple volunteered and there was like two spots left.
No one was going.
Everyone was looking around.
By this stage, people are getting a bit vocal, getting a bit animated, pointing.
It's funny when humanity all needs something and they all turn on each other.
And everyone's like trying to justify their existence.
It's the weakest link, isn't it?
It was.
But I start going, well, what's the average weight an airline deems of a passenger?
Yes, what is the calculation they take into account?
Because I tried to look it up and I couldn't really, there was some wish-washy details.
You know, then we talk about luggage and it's like, if you wear all your clothes, what's the difference
if I'm wearing them or if they're my suitcase?
Yeah.
Because I'm a kilo over the suitcase.
But speaking of suitcases, the people that did get off, they then had to go down to the
tarmac and find their luggage and pull it out from underneath the plane, which then
took ages as well.
That's what they should have done.
Open the luggage and gone, all right, these eight bags closest, unlucky.
Yeah, yeah.
See you later.
You guys are the weakest links.
But I was wondering what the average weight was for a passenger on a plane.
Like, do they deem it 100 kilos?
That's 800 kilos for eight people?
I mean, we are one of the fattest countries on earth.
Yeah.
You know, per capita.
To be safe?
Yeah.
Because I'm, you know, I was there going, well, I'm 70 kilos, 72 on a good day.
I could fit under the seat.
The plane's not going to know if I'm gone.
I was just looking around all the fatter people.
Well, Gary, you know.
I mean, could one of you go?
Yeah, could one of you just go?
So how long were you sitting there in the end?
Yeah, literally.
It was about an hour and 40, 45.
And then when we got into Newcastle, they eventually, by the way,
made two people go.
They did.
They made two people go.
All right.
Sorry, guys.
I'm lucky.
And they left and no one clapped or anything.
They got off the plane.
We eventually get into Newcastle where we landed. And then we couldn't get offapped or anything. They got off the plane. We eventually get into New Wewe
landed and then we couldn't get off because of electrical
storms at the airport with lightning.
It was like blue skies but there was a storm coming.
So we sat on the plane. You know why? Because he's going,
I heard the Today Show this morning and that young
bloke said there was an electrical storm
coming. It was him!
Jess and Ducco. 131060, you have
a chance to get involved in the show.
Our Call of Fame prize, $1,000 cash.
We're asking, what do you wish was socially acceptable?
It's something maybe currently you're only doing behind closed doors,
or God forbid you do do it in public, and you're met with eye rolls,
maybe some derision, maybe pointing and laughing.
Take us to Japan, please, Ducco.
Beautiful part of the world.
I'm so glad we're here. Up until this point in my life, I've had no interest Take us to Japan, please, Duggo. Beautiful part of the world. I'm so glad we're here.
Up until this point in my life, I've had no interest in going to Japan.
Oh, you'd love it.
It feels too tech forward for me.
Freaks me out.
The AI and the robots.
Oh, yeah.
And the food.
Food's good, though.
It's funny because my brain, my simple, narrow-minded brain, thinks Japanese food is all sushi and
seafood.
Karagi chicken.
And I don't like that.
And I always forget about your karagi and your teriyaki.
Ramen.
Yep.
You don't like ramen.
I don't like that egg.
Well, you just don't eat the egg.
I could say no egg, but I don't want it.
Until now.
Yeah.
Japan has invented something that up until this point I've copped a lot of crap for doing.
They've invented drinkable mayonnaise.
Oh, you cut off the in your face.
I did.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unless you want it.
So growing up, my brother used to always bust me in the fridge with the bottle of squeezy
praise.
Yeah, like it was mummy's teat.
That would be you with the bottle of mayo.
I love mayonnaise.
You suck.
You still don't act like growing up.
You still do it.
Angus will catch you every now and then sucking on the mayonnaise.
And it's got to be the squeezy one.
The egg mayonnaise?
Obviously, whole egg.
I'm not an animal.
Yeah, of course.
I work hard.
Can't eat an egg in a ramen, though, but I'll suckle on whole egg mayonnaise.
Yeah, see, I wish you didn't say whole egg on the bottle.
On the bottle?
I have to forget.
But the squeezy, it does something for me.
Yeah, yeah.
See, I love mayo as much as the next person. I won't suck out of the jar., yeah. See, I love mayo as much as the next person.
I won't suck out of the jar.
Well, then you don't love it as much as the next person.
What I'm hearing is you hate it.
Okay.
In Japan.
I love the Japanese Kupi mayo.
Ah, okay.
Now, here's where we get into some murky water.
Yeah.
In Japan, which, again, my limited knowledge about Japan food.
I've been three times.
Hit me up.
Mayo is used heavily in Japan in sandwiches and pizzas.
Ah.
Bit of a pizza topping in Japan.
I think I ate pizza in Japan when I was there.
As well as, of course, traditional Japanese food like sushi and onigiri.
Onigiri.
Am I saying that correctly?
Yeah, yeah.
Nailing it.
Thank you so much.
Well, now they've invented a chilled drink mayo fanatics have long been waiting for.
Very reasonable price of 198 yen.
It's about two bucks Australian.
Yeah.
I love this.
In a sleek upmarket cup.
Oh, good.
That's what you want it from.
That'll make it classy.
Adorned with a whimsical squeeze bottle illustration.
I think this article needed a word count and they've had to pat it out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The only catch for mayo fans like myself, it is a mayonnaise-style drink.
Not technically mayonnaise.
Oh, so it's like a soft drink, but mayonnaise-flavored by it.
Yeah.
Oh, I don't know if it's carbonated.
Yeah, right.
But yeah, yeah.
Oh, that's interesting.
A mayonnaise-style drink.
What else do they put it with to make it the drink?
I can't know.
Because it can't just be straight mayo.
Unfortunately, the ingredients are all in Japanese.
Oh, they're all Japanese.
We'll have you soon.
One mayo fan, it wasn't me, posted on X because it's trending.
Yeah, obviously.
Drinkable mayo, it's unbelievably bad.
Avoid at all costs, they write.
No true mayo lover would enjoy this.
Drinkable mayo?
I just tried it.
It's awful.
Maybe a bit dilly.
Oh, okay.
It tastes like dill.
That's too much dill.
Oh, that's interesting. Liquid mayo, salty, mayo-y, maybe a bit dilly. Oh, okay. It tastes like dill. That's too much dill. Oh, that's interesting.
Liquid mayo, salty, mayo-y, maybe a bit dilly.
Need to get you a bottle of this.
I would like to try it.
As much as I cringingly love Japanese mayo, this made me gag.
No.
Yeah, look, it's not for me, but I think if people really love that taste of mayo, like
yourself, this might be for them.
Because right now, if I go to a restaurant and I say, hi, can I please have some tomato
sauce on the side of my chips and a cup of mayo? Yeah. They just think they're going to put the mayo in a ramekin for my chips. Because right now, if I go to a restaurant and I say, hi, can I please have some tomato sauce on the side of my chips
and a cup of mayo?
Yeah.
They just think they're going to put the mayo in a ramekin
for my chips.
No, no, no.
I just would like it as a beverage.
Just bring me the whole bottle.
I'll just...
The judgment.
Do you want a drink?
No, I'll take a mayo.
No, no.
What?
Anything to drink?
No, no.
I ordered the mayo already.
Just fill my cup up with mayo, please, sir.
13, 10, 60.
Yeah.
What do you wish was socially acceptable?
Here we go.
A lot of people have contributed online.
Oh, yes.
And this sort of thing.
And I've got to tell you.
What do you think?
I agree with all of them.
This one's great.
Just giving an honest reason for not wanting to do something instead of making up an excuse.
Yeah.
Oh, do you want to go for coffee?
I'd rather stay home.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's got nothing to do with you.
I just don't want to do that.
It's like those friends that you know you're never going to see.
And you're like, yeah, we should definitely catch up.
We should definitely do a dinner.
We both know we're lying.
And the dinner gets plain.
You're like, I don't want to do this.
Neither of us want to go.
Oh, whoops.
I think I've got COVID.
Got to stay home.
Oh, God.
Those excuses are gone now.
Oh, mate.
Someone didn't come to the wedding because they had COVID.
I was like, it's 2024.
You can still do that, can't we?
Get over yourself.
Move on.
Someone said skipping.
I wish it was socially acceptable for adults to skip from point A to point B.
That would look so funny.
It's faster and more fun than walking, they write.
And it's not quite running.
You're right, it is a middle ground.
Could you imagine a group of adults skipping places?
It's so joyful, but it feels very childlike, doesn't it? I've never seen a shy guy skip. I've never. Can you imagine a group of adults skipping places? It's so joyful. But it feels very childlike, doesn't it?
I'd love to see Shy Guy skip.
I've never...
Can you imagine his knees?
They'd be touching his ears or something.
He'd have a real high knee bounce.
I think I've skipped in 20 years.
Give us a little skip.
He'd be the kind of person who skips and then does an ankle.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%.
His body's like, what have you done?
And one more for you, Duggar.
I'm sure, as a gentleman, you agree with this.
Hit me.
Scratching your parts in public without people assuming you've got crabs.
Or you're on a watch list.
Because it's not.
Sometimes I'm itchy.
Sometimes I'm not even itchy or scratchy.
It's adjusting.
It's pulling your undies to lengthen them, to let them breathe a bit.
There you go.
You've got to adjust sometimes.
Sometimes my boobies get really itchy.
But you can't just be standing. With your areolas? Yeah, around there. There you go. You've got to adjust sometimes. Sometimes my boobies get really itchy, but you can't just be standing.
Fuck, your areolas?
Yeah, around there.
Yeah, right.
Sometimes I'm standing at the Woolworths checkout.
It's weird if you're scratching your...
If you're there rubbing both of them at the Woolies checkout.
It's not right, is it?
Yeah, that's...
But I tell you what, oh my God, every ounce of my self-control.
Can I give you one that I would normally...
What do you wish was socially acceptable?
You're going to find this weird from me.
Smelling your own armpits.
Because sometimes you need to know if you're BOing.
And also, no one hates the stench of their own armpit.
Everyone loves their own brand.
And sometimes it's like, if you do that in public,
and you're like, ooh, it's a bit smelly, I didn't mind it,
but I'm also going to put some deodorant on, you know.
But how much judgment do you cop if I saw you doing that in public?
So you do the weird, like, pretend, like, arms at the back.
Oh, yeah!
Yeah, or if I'm stretching but I'm sniff public. So you do the weird, like, pretend, like, arms at the back. Oh, yeah. Yeah, or if I'm stretching but I'm sniffing.
Try and do the weird, like, swipe as though you're scratching,
but it's like, nah, I'm not good.
Put your finger under there.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
My herbal deodorant's not working.
Because you know what is socially acceptable?
My husband does it all the time.
Just holds the baby up.
Oh, yeah.
Butt to nose.
And smells her.
To check if there's a nappy situation. So you want Angus to hold you up, butt to nose to check if there's a nappy situation.
So you want Angus to hold you up, butt to nose and sniff you.
Is that what we...
Well, pit to nose.
Oh, sorry.
Jess, you've done it again.
Go to the bathroom.
Go have a longer than 30 second shower, you grosh.
Yes.
But these are not socially acceptable yet.
Yet.
But maybe Japan is starting us off with the drinkable mayonnaise.
$13,1060. What do you wish was socially acceptable? $1,000 starting us off with the drinkable mayonnaise. $13,1060.
What do you wish was socially acceptable?
$1,000 up for grabs with the call of fame.
Jess and Ducko.
Jess and Ducko.
$13,1060.
You were asking, what do you wish was socially acceptable?
Maybe you're doing something that you only do behind closed doors because the eye rolls,
the judgment you get from friends, family,
strangers on the streets, too much.
But you wish in an alternate universe you could just get away with doing it whenever you wish.
Like me drinking mayonnaise.
Or maybe I should move to Japan.
Because they've invented drinkable mayonnaise.
Drinkable mayo, which is still not quite just full on full egg and mayonnaise.
I think it's like some form of drink.
Because I would argue mayonnaise is drinkable.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, I guess.
It's so thick.
I reckon I'd vomit straight away if I drank mayo.
I don't know if in the squeezes, like praise.
Yeah, yeah.
Of all the ambassadorships I have, Ducco.
You want mayo?
If praise was listening.
Oh, yeah.
The squeezy bottle is the perfect just...
Little suckle.
Little suckle. Little suckle.
Man.
It's already drinkable.
Old iron guts.
But technically it is a food.
Yeah, yeah.
Whereas Japan have made a mayonnaise drink.
What if they put some water in it?
Yeah.
And you know what the issue is?
Mayo fans are blowing up on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying it's not good.
Yeah.
It's too dilly, which I just...
I must have added a dill flavour, which is also weird.
I didn't think there was dill in mayonnaise,
but I don't know, Japan are doing their own thing.
Yeah.
And they're trying to make it socially acceptable
in this fun, and I quote, upmarket cup to drink mayonnaise.
So we want to know on 131060,
what do you wish was socially acceptable?
Things like weeing in the bath, you know,
smelling your own armpits.
And you know what?
Here I am drinking mayonnaise, and I went to judge weeing in the bath, you know, smelling your own armpits. And you know what? Here I am drinking mayonnaise and I went to judge weeing in the bath,
but I shall not.
That's what this whole question is about.
It's my bath.
I'll do what I want.
Amen.
Joanne, good morning.
Good morning.
How are you?
Couldn't be better, babe.
We're talking about mayonnaise on a beautiful Monday morning.
Oh, no, thank you.
Yeah, no, thank you.
Hey, hey, hey.
You don't judge me.
I'm not going to judge you.
I'm not judging. I'm just laughing. What? I, thank you. Hey, hey, hey. You don't judge me. I'm not going to judge you. I'm not judging you.
I'm just laughing.
What?
I'm glad you're laughing.
What do you wish was socially acceptable?
Wearing your PJs all day.
Nothing better.
I'd argue some people still do that at the shops and stuff,
but you're right.
If I do see them at Woolies and their Uggs and their Uddys,
I'm like, come on.
Joanne, have you seen this new trend?
I know it's for a lot of women in particular, the matching colourful sets or silk sets.
Yeah.
I have seen them, yes.
Yes.
They do look pajamory.
They're the closest thing, except they're $400.
Wow, they're so expensive.
Ridiculous.
That's crazy.
But Joanne, that's a great one.
It's like I only ever go to P.L.
Alexander at this time of year because no doubt you'll get, I think Morgan always wants
to get us matching Christmas pajamas.
Oh, that's right.
That place is ridiculously overpriced.
I know. It's so expensive. place is ridiculously overpriced.
It's so expensive.
It is.
And it's all just the smells of scents and stuff like that.
Oh, the fancy candles they have in there.
Yeah, yeah.
There you go.
Christy, good morning.
Good morning.
Christy, firstly, what do you think about drinkable mayonnaise?
Not for me.
Not for Christy.
You're more of a peeing in the bath kind of girl.
Not shower, thank you.
A shower, obviously, not an animal.
But what do you wish was socially acceptable?
I wish it was socially acceptable to tell idiots when they're being morons.
Oh, I love that.
Tell idiots when they're being morons.
Do you have an example of something coming to mind, Christy?
Teenage boys, mate.
They're around in public being an idiot.
If you could just go up to them
and go, mate,
you're being a moron.
Yep.
You'll regret this.
My mum, Christy,
used to roll down the car window
and yell at groups of teenagers.
No, she didn't.
I swear to you, Ducco.
What would she say?
She would,
one of her favourites,
put a helmet on
or do the helmet up.
You know, you see some kids
and they still do it.
They're wearing the helmet but the chin strap.
It's going to go nowhere.
What's the frigging point?
Just take it off.
Don't do it up.
But she would roll down the window and yell at them.
Put your helmet on.
So, Christy, let's start doing it.
Let's just start telling idiots when they're being morons.
I love it.
Yep.
And drink mayonnaise.
No, I mean, we can leave the drinking mayonnaise one right there, I think.
It's not for everyone.
It's for everyone.
Jess and Daco. And drink mayonnaise. No, I mean, we can leave the drinking mayonnaise one right there, I think. It's not for everyone. It's for everyone. It's a quiz.
Yeah.
Each question has a twist.
So you better not preemptively answer until you've heard that twist.
Jump on the train.
Play along at home.
Let's go.
This might be valet quiz with a twist.
It could be.
Quack, quack, quack.
You'll never hear that again.
Oh, quack.
I think you're saying quack.
You're caught up in that.
Quack.
Yeah, quiz with a twist.
So enjoy it while it lasts.
All good things must come to an end.
They do.
Shy Guy assures us no riddles this week.
One riddle, one time.
Mate, people don't forget.
That was one too many.
And I was clutching for straws on questions for that day.
It was a hard stock.
Sorry.
You good?
Yeah, good.
When you're ready, I'll be ready.
We're ready.
We are ready.
We were born ready.
We were born ready.
Quack.
Quack.
Quack.
Quack.
Quack won.
Okay.
A fast food chain that's logo is green.
Zambrero.
Yep.
That was built for Jess.
No one else eats that. You know what else I could have said, Mad Max? No one else eats that. and its logo is green. Zambrero. Yep. That was built for Jess.
No one else eats that. You know what else I could have said, Mad Max?
No one else eats that.
Jess eats those too.
Oh, Subway.
You love chicken teriyaki.
Well, I know it's a good Subway, the pizza sub.
Normally I wouldn't like that kind of thing.
They put all different salamis on it.
I've only ever had sweet onion chicken teriyaki.
Yeah, you've got to mix it up.
Meatball's always fantastic.
Is it?
Meatball's great. I saw a meme the other day, and it was like, you picked your Subway order in high. Yeah, you've got to mix it up. Meatball's always fantastic. Is it? Meatball's great.
I saw a meme the other day, and it was like,
you picked your Subway order in high school,
and you've never changed.
I went, that's so true.
Italian herbs and cheese.
Always.
With meatballs, please.
Okay.
And they melt the cheese for you.
Yeah, so good.
That's awesome.
Okay, points, Jess.
A fictional tree that talks.
Oh, ooh.
One of those.
An ant.
Is it ant from Lord of the Rings?
Ant.
Is it ant?
Ant.
The big talking tree.
Yeah, yeah.
Also Groot.
Also the tree of wisdom.
Oh.
He's not fictional.
He's alive, baby.
And does the tree of wisdom talk or just dance like he's on drugs?
Nah, I've seen him talk.
He talks on the project, but does he sing along to his own songs?
I don't know.
Ents is still correct.
Fun fact, Tree of Wisdom is the Blue Wiggles' nephew.
I couldn't think of the actual Ents name.
Yeah, no, no.
Greybeard.
Greybeard.
Not Treebeard?
Treebeard.
That's better.
Treebeard, yeah.
Greybeard, I think, is from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Oh, look, we got there.
We did.
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
An orange fruit that isn't an orange.
Kumquat.
What even is a kumquat?
I only know because I've got one in my backpack.
I don't know what that is.
I couldn't think of anything else other than orange.
I know.
There's a twist.
Mango.
Far out.
Or an apricot, passion fruit, pumpkin.
That's technically a fruit.
What passion fruit's orange?
Oh, pumpkin, yeah.
Passion fruit.
Wait, pumpkin is a fruit?
Pumpkin's a vegetable.
No, it's fruit.
What?
Is it?
Are you sure?
That's the twistiest twist I've ever heard in my life.
Yeah, rock melon also on the list.
Oh, rock melon, yeah.
Melon, yeah.
All right, here we go.
Okay, I need to get off the ground here.
Three to Jess.
Yeah, I know. Okay. It's a quick reset. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Melon, yeah. All right, here we go. Okay, I need to get off the ground here. Three to Jess. Yeah, I know.
Okay.
It's a quick reset.
Yeah, yeah, thanks.
A famous golfer.
Minwoo Lee!
No, wait for the twist.
Yeah, yeah, that's not.
With a four-letter first name.
Four-letter first name.
Greg Norman!
Yes!
Or Jack Nigolett or Rory McIlroy.
Rory McIlroy, yeah.
When you said full letter first, I thought it was going to be a twist on Min Woon Lee.
So I was thinking of how many names he has.
I was like...
Not quite.
All right.
This is why I frigging hate this guy.
Go to Jess.
Here we go.
The shark.
Remember that photo of his Johnson?
Yeah.
Tattooed on my brain.
He does have a big... Yeah, Yeah. Tattooed on my brain.
He does have a big, yeah, yeah.
And yeah, he's got a golf course in the Hunter Valley, actually.
He designed it.
Does he?
Yeah.
That's a fun fact.
Is he Australian?
That's where I got my hole in one.
Anyway, let's move forward.
Is he Australian?
Greg, yeah, yeah.
The shark. The shark's Australian.
Come on.
You come on.
A fictional character in a wheelchair.
Oh. Oh, the guy from Family Guy.
What's his name?
Brian.
Joe.
Brian's the dog.
Damn it.
Yeah, Joe from Family Guy.
Artie from Glee.
Or Lieutenant Dan.
Why do you get Artie from Glee?
Sorry.
Or Lieutenant Dan from Forrest Gump.
Oh, yeah.
Lieutenant Dan.
Lieutenant Dan.
Yeah, yeah.
You saved my life, Forest.
All right.
Okay.
An Australian music group that's a duo.
I think it's Julia Stone.
Oh, fuck. Thank you.
I'm getting numb.
Are they Australian?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, I don't know, but I'll take it.
Big Jet Plane.
The Veronica's or Savage Garden was awesome.
Yeah, yeah.
We should have said the Veronica.
Points to Ducko.
Angus and Julia.
I love how he questions if Angus and Julia Stone are Australian, but when you said end, he was like, Yeah, yeah. We should have said the Veronica. Points to Ducko. Angus and Julia. I love how he did questions if Angus and Julia Stone are Australian, but when you said Ant,
he was like, yep, definitely.
Because I had it written down.
I write down potential answers, but I didn't have that one.
You've got to shout it at him.
Conviction, baby.
Conviction.
What have we always said?
Confidence is key.
That's true.
All right.
A one-word song title by a Canadian artist.
Sorry.
By Bieber.
By Bieber.
I was trying to think of Tate McRae.
Oh, you love Tate McRae.
I couldn't think of a one-word song with Tatey.
Nah, she got longer song titles.
You can see why this game is... Greedy.
Greedy.
Aye.
I mean, do we want to just do one more?
Yeah, why not?
Sure.
This one's worth five.
You'd still...
Well, we'd tie it in that case.
Anyway.
Well, wouldn't that be a nice way to end?
Well, then we'd have to go to tiebreaker.
Okay.
All right.
A Lord of the Rings character whose name contains an O.
Orlando Bloom?
Boromir.
Oh, character.
Who?
Boromir.
Boromir.
Why say characters with Lord of the Rings and not know the answers to it?
Because I had Legolas, Frodo, Bilbo and Sauron written down.
Sauron.
Where's the O in Sauron?
Oh, maybe R-O-N.
Yeah, R-O-N.
Yeah, Boromir is Sean Bean.
Sean Bean.
He always gets killed.
So that means we have a tiebreaker.
It's like we've got five points.
I did not work that hard to end on a tie.
You'll still drill me in the tiebreaker.
Here we go.
Did you actually have another question?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is the last ever Quiz with a Twist question, okay?
And haven't we had some fun?
Remember this moment right now.
This is going down in history.
This is it, okay?
Why quite ended?
Okay.
Go.
A winged animal that isn't a bird.
A bat!
Yes. She's done it. A bat! Yes.
She's done it.
Or a flying fox.
Flying fish, flying squirrel, flying whatever.
She just said flying squirrel, okay.
Yeah, a flying fox.
Well, Barley Quat, it was a moment in time.
Yeah.
That was, you know.
And what I'll take away.
What memories we've had with this game.
What I'll take away, beyond the riddle,
which was the lowest point...
It was the lowest point.
Was...
The good time.
This vessel was used to announce your baby girl.
That's so true.
So we must always hold a special place.
The quiz with a twist.
For quite.
And Shark Eye's voice going,
someone who's pregnant starting with M.
Ah, we'll never forget that.
More again.
Yeah.
See ya.
We'll have a new game next year.
Okay, sure.
Jess and Ducko.
Had one of the great moments yesterday doing live TV for the Today Show,
doing the weather.
As you do, you can't control any of the things that happen in live TV sometimes.
All you can control is your own behavior, I guess.
And you can't control the weather.
That's for sure.
That's for sure.
It was first day of summer.
It's got to wet and wild.
Put you in wet and wild.
There's going to be 120 extras that'll be like kids and they've organized it and it's
going to be fun and whatever.
They didn't anticipate the 30 mils of rain that there would be.
It's going to keep away some crowds, I imagine.
And it had been wet up there.
It's been wet everywhere.
Even Dago in a rashie and budgies is not going to necessarily get people braving the cold
and the rain.
Isn't it funny?
I feel like I could wear my budgies in one of them with the rashie on, but taking the
rashie off was too much. It's a lot of flesh without the rashy on, but taking the rashy off was too much.
It's a lot of flesh without the rashy.
Yeah, having the rashy off was just too much.
Yes.
Anyway, me at a water park, I get there,
and for the first time in the history of them doing this every summer,
they partner with Wet n' Wild, and Wet n' Wild gets people.
They had 120 people RSVP that they're going to come.
Yes.
Not a single person showed up.
What do you mean? You get the park for free and you get free access all day
and you get to be in there four hours before it opens. I was about to say, so it's not open at this point.
This is like a private event per se. Not one person showed up because the weather
was that bad. And the guy from Wet n Wild. So it's Ducko, his cameraman
and some lifeguards. So they had 12 lifeguards because they thought they were going to be
120 people. So they needed lifeguards to monitor them and stuff like that.
And all these lifeguards are like 19 to 22 year old uni students, right?
Yeah.
And they're all there like bleary-eyed in the morning kind of thing.
And the guy's like, ah, Ducco, I'm really sorry, mate.
I'm not one of the kids that showed up.
Not one person.
I was like, ah, maybe they knew I was doing the weather today.
Oh my God.
They had the B-team in.
So they had not a single.
Where's Tim? Where's Tim? You're not Tim. They had the B-team in. So they had not a single. Where's Tim?
Where's Tim?
You're not Tim.
So no one showed up.
So I had the whole theme park, just me, the cameraman, and the lifeguards.
How vulnerable do you feel in your rashy and your budgies and no friends?
No friends to play with.
And they're like, oh, what are we going to do?
And just a camera trained on you.
Just a camera.
Like, what are we going to do?
I was like, let's just lean into it.
So I had to use the lifeguards and everything.
I was about to say, I saw one clip your wife shared a very funny still
of you coming down like a double donut.
Who was that bloke?
He was just one of the lifeguards.
But it's funny because normally they'd have me on rides with the kids
and I'm like, you ready, Timmy?
And he's like, yeah.
And then we go down to High Five where it's when you've got an adult
with you and you're like, you ready, mate?
Yeah.
Alrighty, here we go.
We're going to do the weather on the slide.
Where are you going, Kimbra?
I came to earn my $19 an hour,
not be the sidekick for the weather guy on the Today Show.
And 18 to 22-year-olds, they don't know a lot about free-to-air TV,
especially the Today Show.
Yeah.
Do they know what Channel 9 is?
Barely, barely.
One of the girls was like, oh, my God, I watch you every morning.
I wake up with you every morning.
I was like, okay, thanks.
You don't?
What are you talking about?
Do you listen to Breakfast Radio on New South, thanks. You don't? What are you talking about?
Do you listen to Breakfast Radio in New South Wales?
Because I don't think you do.
No, it's probably not me.
But I just went with it.
I was like, you probably think I'm Grant Daniel.
Lean in.
Lean in.
But then the most awkward thing happened when I took my shirt off. And that's obviously not awkward for anyone.
You're welcome.
I took my shirt off and two of the young girls who are 22-year-old lifeguards,
the first thing they say is,
Oh, that's an interesting 4X tattoo.
Oh, you are a Queenslander at heart.
Maybe we will come down the water slide with you.
At least you know what your favourite beer is.
Why did you get it there, though?
I like the meerkat, but why did you get the tattoo there?
Hey, ladies, I'm going to go shut up and have a vape.
Stop it, okay?
I'm trying to work.
They're like, oh, you're like that guy off TikTok.
Have you seen that TikTok clip?
And I was like, oh, no, I haven't.
They're like, have you not seen that?
Everyone's seen the TikTok clip.
It's, like, trending in Australia.
I was like...
You like speaking another language.
Oh, man.
Yeah, it was me and the kids hanging out,
but they were, like, older kids and they were speaking another language.
Listen, it's partly cloudy with a chance of showers.
Let me get through this.
We're doing the weather on the Today Show.
Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle in love. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Let me get through this. We're doing the weather on the Today Show.
Jess and Ducko in the morning.
Jess and Ducko's 10K Alphabucks 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 untrue to the question, just say pass.
We come back, of course, if there is time.
Stepping up today for either 10K or 1K.
The choice is yours.
We go to Narelle.
Hello, Narelle.
Good morning, Jess and Ducko.
Good morning, Narelle.
What are you doing right now, Bo?
Oh, well, I'm on my way to work. Nice.
Okay.
The question is, what are you going to play for, $10,000 or $1,000?
We're going to go for the $10,000 today.
Go big, Narelle.
Why not?
Go big or go home.
Christmas is around the corner.
I'm guessing all the money will go to Christmas presents, Christmas lunch.
Yes, grandchildren and maybe a little trip for my husband and I.
That's nice.
Get away.
Why not? Absolutely. Yes. Well, it's a solid letter for my husband and I. Oh, that's nice. Get away. Why not?
Absolutely.
Well, it's a solid letter for you, Narelle.
One of these in your name, I assume.
Oh, yes.
Maybe two.
Oh, yes.
Ah.
Ah.
Okay.
Just one.
Just one.
Just one.
Just the traditional spelling.
I thought I'd see one of these crazy people with two R's in Narelle.
Yeah.
Are you ready to rock and roll?
I am indeed.
Let's go for it.
Let's go.
Your time will start after the first question.
Starting with the letter R, we need you to name something in the kitchen.
Rangewood.
A band.
Pass.
An animal.
A rabbit. A band. Pass. An animal. A rabbit.
A source.
Pass.
A body part.
Pass.
A country.
Pass.
A space term.
No.
A fruit.
Come on, Narelle. Come on, Narelle.
Oh, my God.
Come on, Narelle.
An occupation?
No.
Well, it wasn't ten.
What was it?
It was two.
It was two with one, two, three, four, five, seven passes.
Oh, my God.
Goodness gracious.
That's shocking.
Better than zero.
Hey, that's a great way to look at it.
Better than one.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, yeah.
Look, a band could have been Red Hot Chili Peppers,
a source could have been Relish, a ranch, a body part, ribs,
a country, Russia, space term, rocket, a fruit, raspberry,
an occupation, real estate agent, radiologist, receptionist.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey.
Hey, hey.
Hey, hey.
Don't be such a duck, mate.
I'm just trying to educate you, Narelle.
I'm here to help, okay?
When you play again in 2025, maybe you'll get R again.
I wanted you to win those.
It's not my money, Narelle.
Oh, I know.
I know.
Oh, God damn it.
I was edumacated.
Not very well then.
Hey, $100 spend at my sort of gift box.
So you get one of those.
That's all yours.
Thank you so much, guys. And have a very, very Merry Christmas, please.
And to you and your family, Narelle.
Enjoy the ham.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Oh, thank you.
Is it your last week of work this week as well, Narelle?
No, I've got to work all through Christmas.
Oh, God love you.
Well, thank you for keeping the economy afloat, Narelle.
Keeping the country going, Narelle.
Yeah, no worries. Thank you. Appreciate you. We do play you for keeping the economy afloat. Keeping the country going around. Yeah, no worries.
Thank you.
Appreciate you.
We do play again tomorrow, 6.30 and 8 for 10K or 1K.
I appreciate I've sort of said all day, you know, it's Christmas.
Go the 10.
Maybe go the 1.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Backtrack, backtrack.
It's like day of the week and girl's name.
Not space term and sauce.
I mean, there was country in there.
There was country.
We're asking what's the saddest sight?
I thought this was meant to be an uplifting, fun time of year, Ducko.
It would be fun.
But there's research being done.
Don't be calling with actual sad things.
No, don't call and say my dad leaving when I was a kid.
My dad's car driving away.
The back of my dad as he left.
Dad said he was just getting milk and he never came back.
Okay.
Dad ended up moving to New Zealand and starting a new family.
Oh.
Don't say that.
Don't say that.
We can't have fun with that.
No, we can't.
There's been research done at a university in Germany in Frankfurt
doing research on the lone banana.
So when you see bananas in shopping centres,
they come in like the bunch.
When they get ripped, say people rip them apart and go, I only want these two or whatever.
I don't want five.
I want two.
The solo bananas apparently.
Oh, I don't want five.
I want four.
And they just leave one by itself.
Do people do as not a banana shopper?
Yeah.
People do that.
I always just grab a full bunch.
Sometimes I might grab three or whatever, but I'd never leave one on its own.
You're like, if that's the hand God has provided me.
Yeah, the fingers of God.
I will pick them up.
100%.
As they are.
Because what I look at, that's family.
Yeah.
So what you're doing when you split the banana,
maybe there's only four days left in the week of your working week.
You go, I need a banana a day.
Funny you say that, Jess.
Oh.
That's what the research has done.
If shoppers see a lone, desolate, isolated banana,
it leaves them feeling sad.
Like an abandoned child.
Exactly right.
And researchers have found as well,
because there's more single people than ever.
People are living alone.
When those sort of like, shy guys,
when they see the bananas.
My brain wasn't working fast.
I was like, you should date someone.
So a shy guy goes shopping and sees a single banana.
He sees it as himself.
A reflection of his own soul. And gets sad and has see a single banana. He sees it as himself. A reflection of his own soul.
And gets sad and has to buy the banana.
For a friend.
To be his friend.
Even if he doesn't want to eat the banana, he's like, I need that banana.
Apparently single bananas.
I'm going to take that banana home.
Single bananas are up there for the highest climate and impact on food waste at supermarkets.
Because people are just like, well, I need a bunch.
I'm not going to grab that single one.
The only people seeing it and feeling sorry for it are the other individuals.
And so they did this research, right?
So then, I don't know why this university did this,
they studied a shop for 192 hours.
4,000 customers came through.
They put a sign saying, I'm a lonely banana.
Please give me a home.
And the sales went up 58%.
Oh, my God.
We're such simple idiots, aren't we?
Just something like that.
Putting a human persona, like feelings, on inanimate objects,
namely food, which usually gives us a lot of joy,
we're a sucker for it.
We throw money at the problem.
But when I see a banana alone, I do feel sorry for it.
I do feel bad for that banana.
What did it do to be separated from the pack?
This is so bad.
But usually when I see, like, one avocado left, I love avocado.
Maybe I've gone to get avocado. One on his own, I go, what's wrong with you?
Yeah.
And I leave him.
Because they're not a pack animal.
And I leave him.
They're not a pack animal.
So the avocados on their own, you're like, well.
Because bananas are meant to be in a group.
Okay, like one grape?
You reckon I'd buy one grape?
No.
Well, I mean.
Because he's a pack animal.
It's true, but like one grape.
That feels weird.
You probably just eat it then and there.
It wouldn't. You wouldn't be done with it. It wouldn't even weigh on the weigh scale. It wouldn't, but like one grape. That feels weird. You'd probably just eat it then and there. It wouldn't be done with it.
It wouldn't even weigh on the weigh scale.
It wouldn't.
So you'd have to just eat him.
So yeah, this university did this study.
It went up 58%.
God, we're simple idiots.
We are, but it begs the question on 131060,
because seeing a single banana is sad.
What do you think is the saddest side?
For me, Ducko, I'm staying in a sort of shopping centre adjacent
where I do my
food shopping opposite the Woolies is
a nail salon. Yeah. And sometimes
I'll go at like 11am on a Tuesday,
right, to the supermarket.
But I look across and the nail
salon is empty and the four girls
working there are just sitting at their own stations
filing their own nails,
waiting for a customer. No one's come in.
And I'm like, should I go in and get a pedicure?
Like, I feel so bad.
They look so bored.
One customer come in, they'd all roll their eyes.
Yeah, probably.
They're like, we're enjoying just having a chat.
Like, we're getting paid for this.
They're probably fine.
But I'm like, oh, no.
That's so sad.
That's so sad, filing their own nails.
For me, it's when you sit down at the toilet to do number two and you look over and there's
only enough on the toilet roll for, like, less than one wipe. Like, it's when you sit down at the toilet to do number two and you look over and there's only enough on the toilet roll for like less than one wipe.
Like it's very low.
God forbid, you know, you've said you sit down and look.
What if you're halfway?
Snapped, you know?
And they don't have time to do action anymore.
You can't do anything.
But no toilet paper.
Goodbye bath mat.
Goodbye sock.
Shy guy.
Shy guy, get in here.
What's your saddest sight?
When you see like a bird with one leg.
Oh, that is a horrible sight.
Like a seagull or something.
You're like, what happened to you, buddy?
Oh, my God.
What's your story?
And they're limping.
What happened to you?
And you're a survivor, though.
But you know what I really like?
One of the great redemption stories where you see one of those
and you feel really sorry for him,
and then he just magically puts the other leg down.
He was just tucked off.
Where did that go?
I'm not giving you my chips.
You're fine.
The birds like the buckled wings and they can't sort of do anything.
Or when you see an animal like a turtle or something
literally trying to cross the road.
Oh, jeez.
You're so far away from your natural habitat.
What are you doing here?
In a sadder sight.
Seeing people at a bus stop.
In the rain.
Oh.
In general.
In the rain is so bad.
In the rain is horrible.
You Alita snore.
When was the last time you took a bus?
Date and time, please.
Look, it's been a while.
Do you have an Opal card?
Jess gets on.
She's like, ooh, this is how people travel, is it?
On the bus.
One of the great, I keep seeing the conversation online,
how does a bus fit in the same lane as a car?
Jess has never caught a bus.
No.
No, I've caught a bus.
You're not helping your case.
What was the last year you were in a bus?
School.
I reckon it was school.
I reckon it was Europe.
Oh, yeah, Europe trips.
You get to ride in buses.
That doesn't count.
Oh, well, before that, school.
Hey, it's still a sad sight in the rain.
People on the bus in the rain.
In the rain.
Yeah.
I've gone to stop and offer people lifts, and my husband always goes,
do not do that.
I was like, how far are you going?
Is it on my way?
No, you never do.
No, you're going.
It's actually not.
Sorry.
All the best.
Sorry.
And then I go back around and then drive.
How much is a bus these days?
Do you like 45 cents?
No, they need a card.
They need a card.
I know that.
Yeah.
Don't be giving the bus driver cash.
Do they take cash?
Yeah, I doubt it.
I don't know.
You can take your bank card.
Saddest sights, guys.
Saddest sights.
Back on track.
Babs, did you want to nominate one?
Just when old people are by themselves.
Oh.
We can't have any fun with that.
And also, maybe they want to be on their own, Babs.
Yeah, what's wrong with you?
Maybe they're just enjoying some peace and quiet.
What do you mean?
Just being alone walking down the street?
Yeah, it makes me upset.
I almost cry every time.
You are tearing up now.
You'd be like those TikTokers that go and interrupt people just eating their lunch at
the food court being like, do you want some company?
And they always go, go away.
Leave me alone.
How much do you earn if you're not my man?
I say, shut up.
Shut up.
It's not a good deed if you're just doing it for likes.
Sad as sights.
Give us a call.
It can be anything as you can tell.
Jess and Ducko.
Jess and Ducko.
Rihanna, Jay-Z, I'm brought.
Sorry.
Ooh, you breathy boy.
Just kidding.
I breathed at the wrong time.
I had three and a half minutes to breathe
and I didn't do it right until I came right on air.
That was Rihanna.
What did Mr. Reid, my PE teacher, say in year nine?
Don't pull up until you cross the finish line.
That's right.
Sorry, Mr. Reid.
Pull your head in, Ducko.
Work out your breathing.
I am crawling to the end of the year.
I know it was a big day of wet and wild yesterday for the Today Show, but this is Jess and Ducko
time.
20 kids didn't show up for the Duck Man.
It's just me and Arashi.
And your little duck budgies.
Yeah, yeah.
Didn't appreciate how much they said.
They were little.
Anyway, 131060, you were asking, what is the saddest sight?
That's right.
Germany's done some research.
Germany's done research in the supermarket world.
4,000 people studied over 192 hours in a local shopping centre.
Basically, they labelled the bananas that were separated from the bunch, which is the highest food
wastage on the planet, supposing people just
leave the single bananas because no one wants them.
Because people go, you've been abandoned. You've been abandoned.
You're like Sid the Sloth. What's wrong with you? You're an orphan banana.
What are you? And then they left a sign saying
single bananas, like I'm a good single banana.
I need a home. They went up. Like, I'm lonely.
Yep. And then people did a quiz and it is deemed the loneliest thing people can see.
And then they feel empathy, and they feel sorry for the single banana.
So they take him home.
So people see them, like, you're seeing singles there being like, this banana's me.
I'm going to go make him into some bread.
Or whatever people do.
Not just peel it and eat it.
Oh, yeah.
What do people do?
Yeah.
A huge banana gal over there.
I'm going to go make it into some bread.
I'm going to go put it in the freezer until it goes brown.
This hasn't been our best one minute and 39 seconds.
Hey, man, you with your breathing.
I'm part of it, too.
I'm part of the problem.
Wait for Shaga to speak.
Maddie.
He's maiming birds.
That's a good one.
Maddie, Maddie, Maddie, Maddie, Maddie, how are you?
Good, guys.
How are you this morning?
Maddie, we're sad.
We're talking about sad sights.
Can you make us even sadder?
Look, I think it's when some poor bugger's gotten in the wrong lane,
obviously, in a set of traffic lights or something,
and has indicated to get over.
And no one will let him in. in a set of traffic lights or something and is indicated to get over. Yes.
And no one will let them in.
Oh, that is a brilliant one, Maddie.
Oh, Maddie, that's fantastic.
But you know what's funny?
You feel sorry for them.
I'm like, I'm not letting you in, you idiot.
You should have made a better choice 500 metres ago.
It's on you.
It's that mixed emotions that you think,
oh, my God, you idiot.
But at the same time, everyone's beeping.
It's aggressive.
And you can feel their anxiety rising.
Yes, and we've all done it.
We've all not listened to the nav man when they say,
you're going to take a left soon, get in the right lane,
or the correct lane.
Oh, Maddie, that's a great one.
Good start.
Good start.
A sad start.
A sad start.
Kato, good morning.
Good morning. How are you going? Good, Kato. Pretty good start. A sad start. Kato, good morning. Good morning, how are you going?
Good, Kato.
Yeah, pretty good legend.
Tell us the saddest sight.
Mate, for me, it's when you have a crew of people,
you go into a pub and it's a busy pub and there's a table of six
with one person sitting there.
Oh, yeah.
Either they're waiting for their friends or they've just stood up or they're just sitting at a table too large for them. Oh, yeah. Either they're waiting for their friends.
Or they've been stood up.
Or they're just stood up.
Or they're just sitting at a table too large for them.
Oh, yeah.
And on the flip side, you know,
there's nothing worse than being at that pub on your own.
When you're the first one there and you're like, oh.
And then you see people start eyeing your stool.
Can I have this chair? Is anyone using this?
Yes.
Just like, oh.
Oh, that's a good one.
Yeah.
I don't know what the situation is. Yep. But it's still a sad sight. It is a sad sight. That's a good one. Yeah. I don't know what the situation is.
Yeah.
But it's still a sad sight.
It is a sad sight.
That's a great one.
We go to Ben.
Good morning, Ben.
Hello.
How are you?
Good, Benny.
We're sad.
Oh, yeah, we're sad.
Sorry, we're sad.
Yeah.
Yeah, what's sad times?
What makes you sad?
What makes you sad?
It's a sad time of year.
See.
Do you know when you go in the shops and you see those people trying to sell their product
and everyone just walks past?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They are the worst
people on the planet.
I have to make sure I buy
something. Oh, Ben, you're a good
human. Ben, sometimes it's like solar
panels. Are you getting caught? No, I don't care.
Or the ones where they're doing like, do you care
about the lifesavers? You're like, don't you do that
to me. Don't you do that to me.
No, I buy the tickets to
go into raffles because no one buys them. Oh, Ben, you're a good guy. You're a to me. No, I buy, like, the tickets to, like, go on the raffles because, like, no one buys them or anything.
Oh, Benny, you're a good guy.
You're a good guy.
See, I try and just be a nice human being and look them in the eye
and say no thank you.
Oh, yeah.
No, because they give you the look.
They do.
And they give you sass.
Like, yeah, you don't care about kids' cancer?
Oh, come on, Ben.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Hang on, is that Ducko from the radio?
He doesn't care about kids' cancer.
Oh, okay.
Ben, that's a good bloke.
Ben seems like a good bloke.
He's a great guy.
Riley, hello.
Hi, how's it going?
Yeah, pretty good.
What's the saddest sight, my friend?
Crossing the ducks crossing the road.
Oh.
Slowing down.
Wait, wait, not what?
No, a lot of them.
And people not slowing down for the ducks.
Oh, not slowing down, yeah.
Wait, have you watched a family of ducks get run over?
Oh, don't.
Yeah, a couple times.
What?
Oh, my gosh.
Riley, that is a horrific sight.
But I also agree.
You win.
Just seeing the family cross the road, even if they make it, you're like, no, I hope they
get there.
I know, because it's like the fragility of life.
You know what's the saddest?
Those little ducklings.
On the golf course, seeing someone hit a duck with a golf ball, accidentally, of course.
I've seen it more than twice.
It's not funny, but we're laughing.
Was it three times?
Yeah.
I've accidentally done it once.
I hit a really bad shot and hit the duck and it just went down.
I took it to the groundskeeper.
And that's your kin.
I know.
So I took it to the groundskeeper.
I was like, someone hit this duck.
What should we do?
And he's like, what do you want me to do about it?
He just wrings its neck.
That's what they do.
They just put them out if it's missing.
But I couldn't do it, so I just left it there.
Oh, my God.
Claudia.
Fix it.
Fix us.
Claudia, what's the saddest sight?
When I was a kid, I was a bit of a dork, and I loved collecting rocks.
So I would find the prettiest one.
Did you have lots of friends, Claudia?
I know.
Hang on, wait, wait.
Claudia, did you just say the prettiest rocks?
The prettiest rocks.
What makes a rock pretty?
Flat.
Flat, actually.
Flat surface.
It depends.
Like, it's subjective.
It could depend on the type of rock.
So true.
But then I would feel bad that I'd picked the prettiest one and I'd go back and pick
up all its friends because I felt bad that they wouldn't get picked.
Oh, your parents must have been so proud.
Yeah, yeah.
Mum, I couldn't pick all of them.
What became of your rock collection?
I used to lay them on my bookshelf and then as like a teenager,
I just went, I have to get rid of these.
Yeah, your first friend over, she's like, what just went, I have to get rid of things. Yeah. Yeah.
Your first friend over and she's like, what's all that?
And you're like, oh.
Yeah.
You know where they.
Oh, my partner.
Sorry, my partner just loves to remind me of how big a nerd I was.
Yeah.
But at least.
Yeah.
When they rescue a Tasmanian devil or something and they rehome it to the wild, Claudia had
a big ceremony.
All right, rocks.
I did.
Oh, you set me free, did you?
You got us to set them back in the garden.
Yeah.
Please send one of the rocks on to a nice place, Claudia.
They're just in my parents' garden. Oh. you set them free, did you? You got us to set them back in the garden. Please send one of the rocks on to a nice place, Claudia. They're just in my parents' garden.
Jess and Daco.
Call of Fame.
Call of Fame.
Call of Fame.
When the rock goes.
You might be thinking, well, you normally do this on a Friday.
And yes, and we still will do it on a Friday.
$1,000 cash.
But it's the Call of Fame of the year. That's right. So you get involved this week. You have a Friday. And yes, and we still will do it on a Friday. $1,000 cash. But it's the Call of Fame of the year.
That's right. So you get involved
this week, you have a chance.
That'd be a Stephen Bradbury moment.
Oh yeah. Because we went through
when I say we, Shy Guy and Babs,
went through all
our Call of Fame winners over
the past 12 months. How many winners
are there in total? Because how many weeks do we do it? Not including
I shouldn't have asked that on air.
Quick maths.
Well...
It was like 30-something, right?
We're off for nine weeks a year, so yeah.
Well, this is our 200th show today.
Oh, congratulations, everyone.
Happy 200.
Happy 200 with the game.
You could just divide that by...
By weeks.
Here we go.
Not maths again.
Oh, we are not good on this program.
Babs, get your email up.
You had it all in an email.
We're all weak in this.
But we went through because we wanted to celebrate
and look back at some people who have stood out,
who have won the Call of Fame.
And there was 40 Call of Fame winners.
Wow.
There you go.
So we thought every day we'll look back at some of our favorites.
Yep.
And then on Friday, award Call of Fame of the Year.
Of the Year.
The best caller of the year.
Best caller of the year.
Now, for day one, looking back, we go all the way back to March, Ducko.
Now, this is a guy who gets referenced every single day.
He's been referenced pretty much every single day since.
So we couldn't go past Rhys, who got in touch, as we said, back in March.
Do you have the exact date, shall I go?
Yeah, it was March 5th.
March 5th. Early March. Do you have the exact date, shall I go? Yeah, it was March 5th. March 5th.
Early March.
8.13am.
Wow.
When we had Rhys contribute for this.
Rhys, be honest.
Are you dumb?
I like to call it challenged.
What's the latest?
What's the latest challenge you've faced?
What have you got?
It's a daily challenge.
But when I was 18, me and my girlfriend were moving out
and my mum used to cook all me chicken and rice for me
pretty much every lunch and dinner.
And as we were shopping for appliances,
I said the number one thing we had to get is a rice cooker.
And he said, why?
And I said, well, you can't cook rice without a rice cooker, can you?
I had no idea you could cook it any other way.
Stove-top microwave.
Yeah, microwave apparently turns out pretty handy.
Mate, Rhys saw those, you know, those sun-rice little cups,
two minutes in the microwave, he's like, what is this?
This is a game.
I love it.
Mind-blown.
Sat to miss, isn't it?
Well, you can't bloody cook rice the other way, can you, darl?
What else are we going to do?
That's fantastic.
For anyone who's just had their mind blown,
that's where Rice Cooker came from.
Well, you can't cook rice without a rice cooker, can you?
And then we're like, well, that's a fun name.
And we'd had a joke about it for ages.
It became the Rice Cookers for our collective down.
Rice Cookers.
That's how we got the name.
For our group of peeps.
Yeah.
So, Rhys, obviously, on the shortlist for the Hall of Fame of the Year.
Thank you for that contribution way back when.
We now have art.
We're still working on merch.
We're getting merch.
That'll be next year's problem.
We've got an email sitting with Canbrook for a Rice Cooker collaboration.
Well done, Rhys.
You're in the draw.
We hear one every day for the rest of the week and draw our winner on Friday.
Jess and Ducco.
Thought this might be a good story to share on a Monday.
People might be feeling a bit up against it.
Woe is me.
So if you're thinking you're having a bad day, let me assure you,
it can't be worse than a maid of ours.
A little bit of perspective maybe for a Monday morning.
She was a bit down in the dumps.
It's been a tough couple of months.
She's up against it financially.
And then she got a parking fine.
She's like, I cannot deal with another thing.
I'm scraping pennies as it is. So she resorted to a parking fine. She's like, I cannot deal with another thing. I'm scraping pennies as it is.
So she resorted to a ducko.
She went, I'm not above it.
I'm going to do it.
It's a way to make a quick buck.
I'm going to dig myself out of the trenches.
I'm going to sell foot picks.
She's like, I'm going to do it.
And now that was it.
It's not as easy as you'd think, though.
No, no.
And we've talked a bit about foot picks on this show.
You've tried.
I've tried.
And I don't want to say failed, but you got no bites.
No.
I mean, I got that one guy who wants to take me to dinner,
and he still messages.
That could have been payment in a form.
I could have blocked him, but I feel seen, so I won't.
I feel justified for putting a whole photo shoot together of my foot pics.
But it was a little bit of a moment where she went,
I'm at the bottom.
Yeah, right.
Whatever.
I'm just going to do it.
What are her phalanges like?
Are they all right?
They're not bad.
And as we know, there's a lid for every pot.
She thought, if I can make a quick buck, whatever, maybe this will be the start of something
new or just maybe get me out of the trenches.
She's single with partner?
She's single lady.
Okay.
But she was like, I don't even know where to start.
Everyone talks about foot pigs, foot pigs. We know Lily Allen was in the news
recently. She's made more money from foot pics than bloody royalties from Spotify.
So she Googles it. How do you sell foot pics? Where do you sell
foot pics? And lo and behold, a website came up. It looked like almost
a forum that was explaining. And so she signs up to
this thing and she's going back and forth
with who she thinks is the admin of this website.
And he says to her, welcome, would love to have you.
Here's some other foot picks.
Like it's all seeming very legit.
She's like, all right, great.
He goes, one thing, you know, got to spend money to make money.
You need to pay for a profile because we're an elite, you know, website.
It's not just anyone chucks their foot picks up.
So it's a $100 membership fee, but you'll return on investment.
Oh, you'll make that back in a day.
In a day.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And she was like, so she's already, as I said, feeling vulnerable.
Has no money as it is, but you know what, I'll drop the $100 on the fee.
I'm going to do it because spend money to make money.
If I can get $300, I get myself out of this fine and, you know,
I'm on my way back up, climbing up.
So she pays the fee.
24 hours goes by.
48 hours goes by.
72 hours, she has not heard anything.
No peep.
She got absolutely scared.
What an idiot.
What an idiot.
Not only that, I went, oh, you must be feeling so bad.
She goes, the worst part is I gave him a foot peek because he was like.
So he got the money and the foot peek.
I've got to see some merchandise before I allow you onto my very exclusive.
What a freak.
So a double whammy.
So if you think you're having a bad day, maybe your weekend didn't quite go to plan, just
spare a thought for now, mate.
Because when we sold mine, you can find like Feet Finder and stuff.
It's not a hard Google to go.
Here are the feet websites and you make a profile.
That's what I wanted to ask you.
When you made your profile, there was no membership fee?
I don't think so.
If it was, it was a couple of dollars or something.
I don't know how she's found.
A hundred dollars she's spent.
With money she doesn't have.
Just sitting there refreshing her feed.
I know, being like, please, someone pay for me.
Oh, no.
So there you go.
Not all foot websites have been created equal.
And another fell in the foot fetish world.
I don't know any success stories.
And Lily Allen, I mean, unless we get Lily Allen on,
that could have just been some sort of tabloid story.
Oh, no.
So there you go.
We've heard of Medicare. We've heard of there you go. We've heard of Medicare,
we've heard of Centrelink, we've heard of Facebook
and now the scammers are coming after our
foot picks. Be careful.
You're just joining us. Well, see you later.
And
that was one of five
opportunities you had this week to catch us live.
We finish up on Friday.
Yep.
I thought you were going to keep going. There wasn't much more to add there. I appreciate that. We finish up for Friday. Yep. I thought you were going to keep going.
There wasn't much more to add there.
I appreciate that.
We finish up for over the year.
So we've got four days left of our calendar year.
We've got professional development.
And we're doing our live Christmas spectacular.
That's right.
You'll hear that on Christmas Day.
But, yeah, jeez, you know, a good strong Monday to see out the year team.
Couldn't agree more.
With big weekends all around.
I mean, you guys had the Christmas party.
Ducko broadcasting live from Wet and Wild yesterday.
You had a wedding you were celebrating for.
For the Today Show, I was celebrating.
We had a wedding.
What did you do on Saturday, Shy Guy?
You up to anything?
Did you end up driving down to Sydney on Friday night?
No.
I didn't think you would.
You were tired.
What, you were going to drive after the Christmas party?
Yeah.
And you had a few sherbets.
Oh, I didn't.
Yeah.
What did you do Saturday?
What did you do?
Obviously nothing memorable. No. Oh, I got my. Yeah. What did you say to him? What did you do? Obviously nothing memorable.
No.
Oh, I got my Christmas shopping done.
Oh.
Hang on a minute.
We've only just drawn the Secret Santa today, so it's not done.
Well, Secret Santa is screwing up.
I'm talking like...
One person on the team has drawn the unlucky straw of Rune Jess.
And it's funny because you all have eggs on the back.
That's so funny.
Oh, sis.
She just gave it away.
Do you know what's so fun?
Eyeball baths.
Oh, that means me and Shaga got each other.
It's not so secret anymore.
I love secret.
I'll tell you what I've got my eye on.
Is it under $30?
I'll give you the hot tip.
You've got to go over butt cheeks.
Hey, I was intending to anyway.
It's fine.
Yes, it's contagious.
That's going to be so nervous.
That's so cute.
What are you two going to get each other?
Hey, shy guy.
Ducker likes golf things.
Does he?
I didn't know that.
Yeah, yeah.
Just a hot tip.
What do you get the man who's got everything, though?
What do I get shy guy?
Let me have a look at what I've written down for my present list.
Anyway, when are we drawing this?
Friday?
We'll do it Friday. We'll do it Friday.
We'll do it Friday.
Yeah, maybe again on our Christmas show.
Oh, you'll do it.
We'll do it as a rehearsal
on a Friday and then again
on the Christmas show.
Hey, if you missed any of today's show, don't forget
you can always grab wherever you get your podcasts, but mainly go to
Listener. You know what I've written down for Shy Guy?
Present ideas. Loves peas.
Oh, that's easy.
You already got me that for my birthday.
I know, but I'm still reading.
Mate, I'll just stock you up with peas and...
And Kit Kat chunky.
Oh, there you go.
I do like the chunky ones.
Yeah, there you go.
Maybe I'll get you something for Dottie as well.
We can dress up Dottie.
Oh, that's a nice idea.
Don't dress her up.
He doesn't even need a name.
You know what he needs.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll take that.
I'll take that. Nothing. No, you'll get what he needs. Yeah, yeah. I'll take that.
I'll take that.
Nothing.
No, you'll get what you get.
Ducko got it.
What are you going to get me?
This is exciting.
I don't know.
I've got a couple of days to think about it.
Okay.
Ducko likes burger rings.
No, don't get that.
Well, I'm getting peas, apparently, so maybe we'll buy you some food, too.
Lucky you've got each other and it's not me. I'll buy you spinach.
What else is healthy?
Yeah, broccoli. He likes broccoli. Bro. What else is healthy? Yeah, broccoli.
Loads of broccoli.
But he can buy his own broccoli.
Secret Santa is about something you wouldn't spend money on yourself.
So true.
Don't you reckon?
Let's get each other matching undies.
Oh, that's fun.
That'd be fun.
We can wear them the same day.
You've got that underwear, ambassadorship.
I lost that.
They just stopped emailing me.
I got 40 pairs of undies for him.
I don't really need them anymore.
Oh, that's probably enough undies.
Yeah, yeah.
It's fine.
Well, this is so fun.
I love knowing.
I hate surprises.
You're the worst, man.
It was just Babs' face when I saw it.
Someone with Jess and Babs just went all red and was, like, sinking at her desk.
Yep, yep.
She was dying.
Oh, that's so...
Poor Babs.
Poor Babs.
What are the chances we all just pulled our other person?
I know.
It's bizarre.
No, there's only four of us.
Hey, big show tomorrow, though.
Last Tuesday, I showed the year of Alphabucks Choice.
We hear back at the Call of Fame of the year, plus more Call of Fame chances, which is $1,000. It's bizarre. No, there's only four of us. Hey, big show tomorrow, though. Last Tuesday showed the year of Alphabuck's Choice. We hear back at the
