Starting point is 00:00:00 The new macho range is here at the cafe. Jess and Duggo! This is the Jess and Duggo podcast. Podcast, fuck yeah. Recall to power. We live in the day yet. Podcast, fuck yeah. Welcome to the potty, the last one.
Starting point is 00:00:20 For the final time, stepping into the ring. At a hundred and a centimetrestermater tall. At a lean, very good weight. A very good weight of whatever is an acceptable weight. Nick Duggo! Mark Allen Duckler. Yeah, final show. It's a lot of fun, a lot of emotion in this show today.
Starting point is 00:00:41 I'm fucking exhausted. I know, I know. I'm glad we held it together for our farewells stuff they wanted to say because when I was doing my actual farewell saying, I was announcing I was leaving all those months ago, God, I didn't expect to lose it and I did. It was hard. Fuck, oh.
Starting point is 00:00:54 It's so hard. Oh, my God. And it's funny because, like, building your package, which you'll hear, Yeah, but there's an extended version on its own. In the podcast, we'll put the longer. Okay, good. Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:01:04 Yeah. It was all hilarity. Like, honestly, 99% of it was hilarity. Yes, there were very emotional moments, but they were really drowned out by the laughs. Whereas when it's compounded, either side with love and knowing it's the end. Holy shit. I know. I need a lie down.
Starting point is 00:01:23 I know. And then having everyone out there watching. Yeah, your wife, your puppy, my husband. Yeah, your husband. and Angus was here if she wasn't interstate already like just. All the office were here
Starting point is 00:01:34 except for sales because they finished up. Our GM finished up last week. Yeah, oops. But no, it was awesome. Yeah, yeah. Even the producer of Triple M wandered over because they finished up halfway
Starting point is 00:01:42 through their show today. Like, it's unbelievable. Yeah, it was very nice. No, but thanks guys. Thanks for making it special too. And thanks for your kind words. You'll hear that in this show. But it's been awesome working with you guys.
Starting point is 00:01:53 And I mean, I've said it 20, like plenty of times today and stuff. And yeah, but love you all. Love you. Yeah, it's going to be. So special. Next time you guys are in the studio doing this, it'll be someone else sitting here.
Starting point is 00:02:04 That's going to be weird. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's going to be weird. I know. I'm almost like we should play musical chairs. Just like, I'll learn to panel. That blow can sit when you sit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Just mix it up. You just got to change it up because it's literally just like highlight you, delete, put someone in. Like, no. I wanted to get you a cardboard cut out of me before I left, but I ran out of time. So the mugs will suffice. Yes, no, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:02:30 I thought you might ask Deb for it back from all those years ago, the woman who did take your cardboard cut out. Yeah, she did terrible things to that. At that party, I don't think there's any colour left on the cardboard cutter. On the mouth. Yeah, all the clutch. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:46 I think Deb's an avid podcast. Good morning to you, Deb. Prove me wrong, Deb. I'd like to see a picture on the cardboard cut out. You know we're telling the truth. Yeah. But this is our final podcast top. So, you know, congratulations to us.
Starting point is 00:03:00 On a six-year journey, too, with these two. And two of the best, you know, these last two have been so much fun. Totally. Have you heard from producer, we've heard from producer Ty, who was your producer, our producer for two minutes before he left to pursue musical theatre? Have you heard from Sophie or Snooze? No. Nah, fuck them.
Starting point is 00:03:20 I've been speaking to Sophie, actually, because she got a job producing a show, which, another show. She's leaving something. Yeah, yeah, she's doing something else, producing a Sydney breakfast show. Shut up. Good on it. Yeah, yeah, on this very network. She's really whittling it down. She's alright with that?
Starting point is 00:03:36 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, she went for it. She went for it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not like formally announced yet. Okay, good on it. But so anyway, I was chat to her a bit and then snooze message, snooze message me about something else.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Yep. And then she said, you know, good luck with everything and stuff. So they did our last couple of days. Okay, that's not. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Pes just sent me a text. Oh, very nice. Your mom sent me a nice message.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Thank God. I was about to say, ma. Your mum and dad. Yeah, they send me a nice message. Yeah. Usually that she puts us in a group chat. Yeah, it was me, your dad and your mom. But then she signs it off on behalf of them.
Starting point is 00:04:04 He goes, cheers, Lisa and Rob. And then Rob reacted to her message. Sometimes a reaction doesn't for a while, but you don't know what else to say. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I think Lisa summed it up nicely there, Daco. Regards, Rob. The best was when you're all saying something nice about me and Chugg, I was like,
Starting point is 00:04:21 oh, I should have written something down. But it was funny because his laptop was open and he was glancing at it. I know, I was like, what did the rice cookers say? Can I extract words from you? Oh, so good. You knew this was coming, shy guy. I've had a lot on it. I wrote an across the poem.

Starting point is 00:06:50 You're ass. I've got to explain. Ducco. I've got somewhere in this is office as urine on my pen. Got him going insane. That's changulina. It's changulina. I am so thirsty.
Starting point is 00:07:03 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sorry. Okay, talk it. This is Jess and daco. Hey. No. For the last time, this is it, baby. It's not real. It's not real.
Starting point is 00:07:19 I refuse to acknowledge reality. I had an early text from Jess this morning, team. A little wrestle emoji. And then a wrestling emoji Because it's his favourite I still don't really know what it means I can't even look at you I know
Starting point is 00:07:35 There's going to be tears today It is the series finale of Jess and Ducko One character is dying We'll find out I guess at 8 Oh this feels weird It does doesn't it I got stopped that many times In real life
Starting point is 00:07:51 Let alone our DMs Ducko In real life yesterday people going, firstly, wear a bra, what are you thinking? So he'll say, like, why wasn't Jess in a bra? I picked up my daughter from daycare, and her educator went, Jess. I thought she was going to say, because Luccia had a couple of head knocks yesterday, which I'd been called about. I thought she was going to tell me about Luccia.
Starting point is 00:08:14 She goes, Jess. Wear a bra, darling. And I was like, hey, Nancy, mind your business. Bot out, Nancy. It was a busy day. My friend was leaving. Actually, someone said to me, they just thought you did a handstand without the wall. And I had to explain to be like, no, no, the funniest part was...
Starting point is 00:08:28 I was up against... She went up on a wall, and then when her tits came out, she couldn't get off quick enough. So, like, it was slow-mo watching her, like, reverse down. Because I had to, like, kick off the wall. I was arched in such a way. Oh, it was funny. But then the next sentence was, oh, well, you're going to miss it. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Oh, big. I bet a lot of people said to me as well, like, oh, it's not going to be the same. You reckon Susie O'Neill's going to show you her tits? Probably not, brother. Probably not. I highly doubt it. And I hope not. She is an Olympian.
Starting point is 00:08:56 She is a respectable woman. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going to get that from her, are you? I'll part, I'll get this audio. You're a lot. He's going to get something out for you. I'll get this audio. I'll play the same next year.
Starting point is 00:09:06 My new show. How the old show ended? Yeah, yeah, yeah. How are we going to start with a bang? My old co-host got a little bit unhinged at the end. Here's how it sounded. She tried everything to get me to stay. She tried everything.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Oh, I know. Oh, goodness gracious. I know. We've had so much fun. Yes, they were. It's one of the great shows. I couldn't agree. And the video on our Instagram, if you don't know what we're talking about.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Oh, it's popping off, so go have a look. Yeah, at Jess and Duck on socials, you can see it. One of the great last videos where a lot of people saying about our reactions are funny. Can I commend the technology in the room? Because I'm not sure if you know this team, we've got cameras trained on us, but they are linked to our microphones. So more often than not, you'll attest to this shy guy. There's a big reaction. Unfortunately, it's not captioned.
Starting point is 00:09:51 You miss it. Yesterday, it bounced between. between you guys and even caught me. Yeah, it was good. It was a comedy of errors in the best way and the result of that video. Oh, it's fantastic. It's one of my favourite things we've produced together in six years,
Starting point is 00:10:06 completely unscripted. We should have both collaborated. And we should have just let it go buntar. Oh, I can uncollaborate with thumb people and put it back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Stuff. We can, we can hack the algorithm. No, it was very cool.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Last time we had our final dinner, like at one of our final joints. At one of your favorite places, how was that? Oh, beautiful sunset. Just for two of you? Just the two of us, yeah. I'll tell you why. I was meant to be there tonight. I was going back.
Starting point is 00:10:30 A few issues yesterday. A few mover issues. Oh, we'll get to it. Yeah, we'll get to that. To be honest, I was confused. I must have listened properly. But then Morgan was like, I mean, she had a bad day, I say, too. She had flight issues and I'll also get to that.
Starting point is 00:10:44 And then she found out your second wife, she flashed her titties. She goes, mum watched it at first at how she was with her mom. And she goes, her mom watched it at her mom just like giggled and goes, oh, just had her Tits out of work. Oh, you shouldn't be hearing that news from your mother. I know. Mother-in-law. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:00 You shouldn't be here of that secondhand. What? She did what? I knew they were closed, but Jesus. Morgan didn't even bat an island. Morgan's like, oh, yeah, sounds about right. And now I'm drinking out of your face. I mean, it's getting weird. I've got my ducco mugs here.
Starting point is 00:11:12 That's how giddy-out. I got you guys this yesterday. So when you heat it up, my black and white head shot appears, Babs, you'll be having yours shortly out of magic. It's like a magic trick. It's cool. So now I get to drink out of ducco. And the guy who's replacing, you're going to sit in that chair of 20-twix, 20-26, can see this every morning.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Yes. Slurping out of ducco's head. Yeah, sipping meat. How good's that? That won't throw anyone off. Jaga, I don't you don't drink hot drinks unless it's a hot cocoa, but you need to have that too. I'll have one today. I'll make something. We will make you something.
Starting point is 00:11:40 It's just hot water. Yeah, yeah. I picture him as the kind of guy who would just drink hot water. Yep. That's like your treat. I gave one to our boss as well. That's very kind. He didn't seem to react like you guys did.
Starting point is 00:11:51 I tried to give him a cupcake the other day and he was like, get that out of my office, I'm celiac. I went, okay, sorry, take that back. He's got the celiac problem. He doesn't have the celiac problem. His life is over. Oh, yes, he does. He's going to be real grim in the new year.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Yeah, he will be. Can't enjoy anything. You know he loves a treat? He loves a little treat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. One of the great reformed fatties. God, he used to be large, didn't he? We've seen the pictures.
Starting point is 00:12:16 We've seen the photos. He even says it himself. He was a chef and he ate all the cooking. I better try that, I better try that. No, no, no, no, no. Nope, minute. That table doesn't have any desserts. Here we go again.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Oh, no. Boss is here. God, and now he's celiac. He's skinny, but a celiac. That is not a combo. He's fitzbo. Anyway, we're going to miss you, boss. Yes, we will.
Starting point is 00:12:40 See you in today? Probably not. I don't know. He'll be here. He will be. He'll be here. I think he's coming in. Want to we farewell on someone or something?
Starting point is 00:12:48 Yeah, last few. I had to go say, by all my friends in sales yesterday. Or two of them that haven't started their annual leave yet. Yeah, we're not going to be in tomorrow. All the best. I'm like, farewell. Where's my guard of honour? It's here.

Starting point is 00:13:55 I don't honestly think it doesn't. We have to do it on a drop box. It's too big. So anyway, we will play. And what do we rate it, shy guy? I'll tell you in the hook break. Oh. Big.
Starting point is 00:14:06 It's good. Don't worry. It's good. For the last time, good morning to you, Barbara. Good morning. Now, Babs has brought in a box, Jocko. We'll get to that inside the next. The box, Bab's's box, what's in Bab's box today?
Starting point is 00:14:21 To the very end. What did I tell you about my year 9 PE teacher? Mr Reid, don't slow down to you cross the finish line. That's right. And you are in the embodiment of that, my friend. I'm a true professional. With your what's in the box, Babs box. We're going to get to that.

Like we had a Bradbury yesterday, who's thrown her name in the ring. Yep. Could you be up for grabs for the thousand dollars, get involved next for the final? Yes. No dumb thought. Yeah, and you can text a text on as well.
Starting point is 00:15:11 048-18-1069. What's this? I get a bit of rain today on the music. My computers aren't working on this side. What's this? This has been a Rufus too soul. Is that your favourite artist? I know the band.

Starting point is 00:15:47 silly little audio montage. We started at 21. No, we started at 24 because we played the 24. And you have just, I really just cooled my jets a little bit unless I had a specific idea. But shy guy went, no consistency is king. Yeah. One more time. One more show.
Starting point is 00:16:03 And for the last ever time. There's no such thing as a dumb thought. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. I love this segment. Oh, that's my favourite. Because nothing says you are in a safe. space. Yep. Like sharing idiotic, silly, nonsensical thoughts that you have not felt safe to share with anyone else in your life. And you can call us 131060. You can text the text line 04-8-8-106 line.
Starting point is 00:16:32 We've got a fair few texts rolling in. A lot of nice messages, people saying, we're going to miss you, safe travels, enjoy. Remember your daughter was born in New South Wales. I love both your energy. I don't know how we're going to do it without you. Amen. I love these. I see all these messages. Appreciate you. Thank you. Someone has a no dumb thought, though. Michelle. Yeah, Michelle.
Starting point is 00:16:50 She says, no dumb thought. Nails and screws seem pretty similar to me, but why is it you nailed it when you do something good and you screwed up when you stuff something up? Oh, that. It's like being a dog. We say like dogs are great animals, but you're a dog. How can you be man's best friend?
Starting point is 00:17:04 But also it's used for like disloyalty, betrayal, bad dude. If I was just to say, hey, Jess, you screwed it in a good way. It just doesn't fit, does it? No. You nailed it. You nailed that. But also, having a screw used as a, like an activity. A good thing.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Had no daughter last night. That dog got a con. Oh. That's the final time you'll root in New South Wales. I've got another night. Well, I understand my titty's got your hot and heavy. I could be back in the state at some time. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:17:39 Yeah, maybe. Yeah, but your kid will always be with you. I don't imagine. Everything's been your last. Yeah, I know. And you know what's hard about that? Also, thank you for that. Michelle, that's a great one.
Starting point is 00:17:52 What's hard about making everything the last that I've noticed? So what's hard about making love? You, am I right, me? I've forgotten how to do it since I long. Is this where? Oh, and it's done. Should we get back to packing? Morning to mum and dad.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Of course they're tuning in. They are. Hey, Chris. When you make everything, you'll be going to say. When you make everything your last, nothing is ever that good when it's your last and you know it's your last. So I've started to try and just stop trying to do things for the last time and just do them. And if it's the last time I do it, so be it.
Starting point is 00:18:25 If it not, so be it. You know what I mean? But you know that saying live every day as if it's your last? Loving X-Fers if it's the last. Dancing all night and having a blast. I'll be there. Ronan? One of the great songs.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Do you want to take out that next Rufus song you're going to play a bit and put a bit of a ronan in? Yeah, no, that's fair. Yeah, yeah. Maybe that's a great attitude in terms of not focusing on the finish line, not focusing on the end of the chapter, and just being in the moment. Trying to be present. You know what they call it the present?
Starting point is 00:18:57 Yeah, why is that? It's a gift. Oh, God. So nice. Come off of you, a dumb thought. Please, you must, you must. So obviously we're packing right now. A lot of boxes, we're moving things.
Starting point is 00:19:06 And then I thought, because usually you put similar things and similar boxes. Like all the kitchen stuff will go in there. Maybe one's full of books. Maybe one's full of clothes. But we're getting to that stage now We're sort of getting the miscellaneous boxes Where it's like, oh jeez You're doing now the drawers
Starting point is 00:19:19 That had all your junk in it Yeah, we haven't packed the printer And the printer's going in And we haven't packed those winter coats That we forgot about So the printer's going with some winter coats But then I said to my wife, I don't know if the printer's going to appreciate
Starting point is 00:19:32 Being in the same boxes of winter coat And not paper Or Okay, this is the one way to look at it. Nothing tells me I've got a good thought When Babs orderly size And I can see it and rolls her eyes.
Starting point is 00:19:45 I'll shape up Barbara. Barbara, there's a valid conversation to be had here. Yeah. Because, A, it depends on what type of personality the printer has. Yeah, that's true. Is the printer the kind of gal who at a wedding would appreciate the couple seating her next to strangers. I get to make new friends. See, to me...
Starting point is 00:20:05 Or is the printer the kind of gal who goes, I want to stick with my people and my people alone. The printer is buttoned up and it's a bloke. Oh, okay. It is just... It's the printer that's just learnt to do colour. So I don't think... I think it's nervous. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:20:18 The printer's a boomer. The printer's a boomer. The printer. And then we're putting the printer with some shirts, some jackets. Yeah. You know, things it doesn't know. Yeah. Maybe English is the second language.
Starting point is 00:20:28 It's like, look, I'm already out of my comfort zone. You've unplugged me. Yeah, yeah. Put me at least with people I know. Exactly. I'm running low on black ink. You always are, Gary. You always are.
Starting point is 00:20:38 And you know what? Also, also another point. Yeah. They'll never meet again. So if they do fall deeply in love And form a connection They'll be nowhere near each other In their new abode So are you tearing apart?
Starting point is 00:20:52 I didn't think about the prospects of love New friends or lovers Jeez that's There's a lot to get I would be taken that out of the box My wife didn't understand my upset towards it And it caused a whole argument last night But I can't believe you still did it
Starting point is 00:21:04 May I offer you one Please Why did white tablecloths, napkins become the standard colour for tableware. When that is the colour that would show up the most
Starting point is 00:21:23 stains, the messiest, food mess, when you wipe your mouth after bolognese, it's all over your napkin. Of course, yeah. Why isn't it the standard at restaurants, fine dining establishments? Black or navy blue? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:37 That's a good question because every time I wear a white shirt, I get it stained. Similar. You never do because you don't notice. Similar. to sheets. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:44 I'm not saying I want to sleep on black sheets, but maybe that's just now my brain that's been conditioned to see white as the standard. Yeah. Why? It's the messiest of all the colors. It looks, maybe because it's when it's new, it looks the cleaner.
Starting point is 00:21:57 It looks the cleaner, so you can see if there's dirt. But if we've just been programmed to think of that. Yeah. When really out of sight, out of mind. I like that. Yeah, and with cars, right, when you buy a black car, it shows everything, whereas a white car doesn't.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Oh, in the reverse. It's the reverse. Because I owned a black car once. Never again shall I own a black vehicle. Oh, my God, of course. Towel's white, though. Yeah, white. God forbid you want a fake tan.
Starting point is 00:22:20 Oh, geez. When you see fake stains on towels. Oh, it's awful. Remember our old producer, Sophie? Oh, how could I forget, Sophie? You know? There was more town on her towels than around her hands because she hadn't applied it nicely. It was something to think about next time you go find dying tank.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Can I have a black napkin? But also, if you gave me a black napkin, I'd be like, okay, all right, you're like, kill me? A bit gothic. Yeah, a bit, yeah. Bit sad. It is a bit sad. Yeah. There's a solution to we have.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Sophia's rolling in with how many slices of pizza do you reckon you've consumed in your life? Well, if you're Jess, but I couldn't tell it. You can't average that out. So my time thought today is, you know, how we name our dogs. I wonder if our pets name us. Oh, and Robin has come in. A rebuttal to you. Thank you, Robin.
Starting point is 00:23:06 Robin has cleaned a stain in her life. Good morning. You can bleach white. Mary X-Rexam. Can't bleach black. Yeah. You can't bleach black. Someone else sent us a really long text.
Starting point is 00:23:14 I will read it. Is it a dumb thought? I think you want a fridge magnet. And hey, we've got fridge magnets. Done to you know. We've got fridge. And we're giving away the last ever giz bit today. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Babs went through the prize cupboard and went, oh my God, one slipped behind. Yeah. Here it is. It just came out. It came. I even felt, I was at home and I was just like. You felt the cloud's part. Now, can we get either one from Barbara or Shaga for a dumb thought to finish us off?
Starting point is 00:23:40 I don't have one. off you go. Oh, gosh. I actually don't have a... Oh, this fits. You know? Just what I just selling up gold. Only do it every single
Starting point is 00:23:49 Friday. What have we said about this being a team sport? We talked about you guys not taking your breath of gas. The team is supporting your dumb thoughts. Yeah. Well, Babs is rolling your eyes.
Starting point is 00:23:57 I don't say I don't support. Yeah, she hates it. Yeah, one of us is. Yeah, yeah. Also, a lot of text rolling. They bleach white. They bleach white. I'm a cleaner.
Starting point is 00:24:05 That's why we always use it. Okay. Yeah, but my issue, guys. Yeah. Is it so messy? while I'm still eating my meal. That's ugly. That's yucky.
Starting point is 00:24:13 It makes a science to it. Oh, okay. It makes foods pop so it makes it more appetising. Were you just going to leave that out and not tell us that? I was getting there. I don't like interrupting. Yeah, we don't. You don't like anything.
Starting point is 00:24:27 We don't like anything. Thank you for that. See, that's some interesting psychology. Go forth. Thank you, Barbara. And thank you everyone for getting involved in No Dumb Thornton Friday. Very much. We had a great time doing it.
Starting point is 00:24:41 it. Valet, no dumb thought. You love Kendrick. Do love Kendra. He's a short king. He's the leader of the short kings. They're not like us. They're not like, well, you know, who's like you, Kendrick?
Starting point is 00:24:53 Have you ever seen a 5-foot-6 man command a stage to 85,000 people? No. It's fantastic. Having said that, I don't know how tall Ricky Martin is. He's not the tallest of men. He's tall in Kendri, though. Kendri, even on stage when you see him... Ariana is taller than Kendrick.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Yeah, when you see Kendrick on stage, strutting around his baggy jeans, he's tired. And I know it's different, but like Gar-Gar's tiny. Yeah, but it's different for women. It is different, you know, which is different in itself, Jess. It's different in itself. An age-old debate. Ritchie's six foot.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Yeah. Who? Martin. Ricky Martin is six foot. Yeah, live in the Vita Loka. The Johnson. Oh, he's got a, yeah. Bouncing around, he throws me out.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Yeah, yeah. Just it's everywhere. So I don't think I was actually taking in the man's height. Yeah, yeah. He's quite, um, he's quite tall, Ricky, I would have thought. And he's obviously on the stage. We were on the floor. So, you know, everything I just thought was amplified.
Starting point is 00:25:39 But he genuinely. The Willie. Holy doly. Some of my message you yet? Holy doly. Boogie, boogie. No, she hasn't actually. I'm surprised she hasn't.
Starting point is 00:25:47 Yeah. Got any wee spars, rock up on your doorstep? No, but I have some in the fridge, actually. I had one last night. You mean freezer? You're keeping your bloody wreaths in the fridge. You crazy. Keep me honest till the end.
Starting point is 00:25:58 I appreciate that. No, we're not taking effort off the gas. What did we say? Can I just have one minute to acknowledge this text? 048-18-1069. Tony said, Hi, Doc. It's just got her boobs out yesterday.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Is Billy Bad boy going to make an appearance. Now, Tony, that is a hell of a throwback. All right, I'm going to do a handstand, but I'm going to tape my undies off. You've got to take your undies off and put your shorts on and leave something to the imagination. Problem is my pants full down, you go, where is it? There is the opportunity for flop tone, but we still won't see it. You guys wouldn't see anything. You'd be like, I saw a lot of hair.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Joking, having to laugh. Hey. No, I know you were rooted last night, so you wouldn't have tied it up. He's exhausted. it. Barbara, well, I had one request from you before I left, and what was it? Bab goes, I hate interrupting. So this is going to be really challenging to just get it to, like, us here and for us to move this along. But we sent her outside for a costume change. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Yeah, I've got some boots on. I saw the musical Kinky Boots yesterday. We've got our own kinky boots. Bab's got some knee-high boots. She got kinky boots. She did. So you're now going to straight your stuff in front and you are going to come into the studio and we're going to see you. This is going to be really disappointing, guys.
Starting point is 00:27:08 For anyone who missed it yesterday in the blog, she was so thrilled because in 24 years of life, she hasn't been able to find boots that go around her car. They're not as high as I thought they'd be. She literally said these boots are a bit naughty. Why? She counts. Oh, they are so ugly.
Starting point is 00:27:33 No. They are. I was expecting up to the knee cap. I told you you would be. Were they on sale? No, they cost me over 100 bucks, so let's be fine. Yeah. Yeah, you can touch them.
Starting point is 00:27:47 They feel good. To be fair, they've gone over the calf. Yeah, they got there. I'm noticing that. Yeah, it's a tight squeeze. Oh, come on. So you're going to wear those for New Year's? Yep.
Starting point is 00:27:58 They look good. Sizzle up and say, did you be like, um, abattoir-worker? You know how they have to tuck their overalls in to make sure blood and guts. And they're toes going to get chopped off? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They look cute. Because you're going to a festival, a four-night festival on those. So.
Starting point is 00:28:14 So that's going to be, you're going to wear those for four days. I've got cowboy boots as well. Oh, where are they? All right, bring them in. Jess and ducco's 10K alpha bucks on here top of bucks. 30 seconds, 10 questions all starting with the same letter. Have to take your first answer. Cannot use the same answer twice.
Starting point is 00:28:35 And if you're unsure of the question, stay past. We come back. of course, if there is time. They're the rules of engagement. I've said them so many times across my career here. A second last player. So you've done 1249. Quick math.
Starting point is 00:28:50 1,249 times 2. Yeah. Here we go. 249. That's how many times you've done the rules for Alphabet? It feels lean. I feel like it would be more. Oh.
Starting point is 00:29:01 You know, but still good. That's a lot. Yeah, 249. Nearly 2,500 times telling people. You got the opportunity to win $10,000. It's crazy. There might have been a hiatus during COVID, but we had no money to give away.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that means my second last player for Alphibax ever is Sunny. Good morning, Sunny. Good morning, Ducco. Oh, what a pleasure, Sunny. Do you have some parting work? If you win $10,000, I reckon you'll want to get started on your spending pretty quickly. So I'll ask you now some parting words for the great man on his final day with the Jess and Ducco show, Sunny.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Yeah, I just want to say good. luck to you and your family, you know, best of luck in Queensland, Mike. Thank you, Sonny. You're a great guy. Thank you, Sunny. And I'm sure you got a, you know, bright future ahead of you, Mike. Thank you, Sonny. You seem like a good person.
Starting point is 00:29:51 It's really. You seem like a good player for Alperdx. What is motivating you today, Sonny? What do you want to spend $10,000 on? We're having a baby and we did IVF, so you guys know how expensive that. Yes, I feel you. Congratulations. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Yeah, that's awesome. When is your baby due, Sonny? Baby's due in the end of February. Oh, congratulations. Well, February. Yes. That's a nice omen, Sonny, because your letter is F. Wow.
Starting point is 00:30:19 For February. Or F F4. Oh, Lato, it's Freddie Fazbear. Freddie Fazbear. Very good. Just still trying to connect with the youth in your dying days. Sunny, you're ready to rock? Yes, I am.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Let's go, Sunny. Let's get him 10 grand. Your time will start after the first question. Starting with the letter F, we need you to name. A school subject. Pass. An instrument. A flute.
Starting point is 00:30:46 A noun. Pass. Something in the bedroom. A fan. A female singer. Pass. An international city. City, France.
Starting point is 00:31:01 A chocolate. A chocolate. Pass. A technology brand? Steve, pass. An occupation. Oh, no, Sonny. We've got a case of the passes, I'm afraid.
Starting point is 00:31:17 And you only ended up with two. Damn it, Sunny. Two of the best. Two. It's so bad. School subject could have been French, Sonny, a noun, family or a forest. Let's see, a female singer, Florence, the Machine, or Fergie. An international city, you said France, you know, I get where the brain went.
Starting point is 00:31:33 That's a country. or after sort of Frankfurt or Florence again, a chocolate. Could have been the Fredo, technology band, Fujitsu, an occupation, a farmer, a firefighter, a fanboy, if you will. Oh, absolutely, you get paid for that. Look, Sonny, you don't get the cash, I'm sorry, to help with the IVF bill. But this is just as good. A limited edition Jessanducco merch pack with a rice cooker print from Vera Fleur.
Starting point is 00:31:54 That is all yours, mate. Oh, thank you very much, mate. Put that in the baby's room. I mean, a nice bit of art. You can explain what that means in the future. Yep. But Sonny, thank you so much for being with us across this journey and thanks for joining us today for Ducko's last show.
Starting point is 00:32:08 No worries, guys. I'm a winner already because I get to talk to you guys. Oh, thank you. Sonny. Jeez. Sonny! That gets me. That tickles me.
Starting point is 00:32:16 That's nice. And I'll be here next year, Dahl. Like, I'm not going anywhere. Yeah, yes, we're here. Yeah, actually, I just want to say, I used to drive Uber a couple years ago. I picked you up in my Uber and we got a selfie together. Uh, Jess. Did we, Sonny?
Starting point is 00:32:29 Yeah, we did, yeah. I'm so glad. That is so nice. There you go. Five stars for you, Sadi. Was she a bad passenger, Sadi? I'm sure she was. Did she eat food in your Uber?
Starting point is 00:32:40 It was a bit awkward because when she got in, I said to her, I really like listening to your radio. But at that time, I wasn't listening one for a 10 like an accent. Yes, yeah. That was big old. Yeah, I think I remember that. Like in the car was playing something else. And you said, I like listening to the show. I went, well, I'm going to.
Starting point is 00:32:58 I'm so sorry. I can see you've got bloody something else. Sonny. Glad you've got us on now in the car. Appreciate you. Thanks, guys. Thanks, Sonny. We do play again, 8 o'clock for $10,000.
Starting point is 00:33:10 That'll be the last one. It's the series finale. My last show. Here's Taylor Swift. It's Opa Lydon. Quickly, just yesterday. Because obviously, we are moving, moving back to Queensland.
Starting point is 00:33:20 I move tomorrow. The house is all going today, right? Yeah. So we scheduled the movers in like a while ago. And that classic movers will be there between 7 a.m. And 7 p.m. Make sure you're home. Make sure you're home.
Starting point is 00:33:31 But like, like Shire. experiences with movies when he took a show off for it. They come usually pretty early. However, we get a call yesterday and they say our moving time will be at your house between 7pm and 9 p.m. Friday night. Wow, I didn't realize they genuinely worked into the night. Neither did I. We were like, uh... 7 p.m.
Starting point is 00:33:53 We have a dinner booked at 5.30 with some friends who couldn't come to the farewell that you guys put on because they had things on and they've got babysitters. We have a full dinner booked with them and we're like, ah, so we call the movers company. And there they're going, yeah, we can't. We're picking up some load from sitting. They're coming on the way to you guys, and we're going to pick that up. This is where you fit in the schedule. This is where you fit in the schedule.
Starting point is 00:34:10 7 p.m. 7 p.m. They're coming. So now we've had to. Pam, open the door for the movers, babe, because you're home alone. Why not going to be here? I did pond that. I said to my, I said to Morgan, can we just leave everything out and then they can just do it.
Starting point is 00:34:21 But no, I think we need to be there. Okay. So now we've got nothing left in the house. Everything is packed. We are going to have to, our friends are coming to our house to have like a picnic on our lawn. We don't even have glasses. So they're just going to come, like, have a pizza and then have a picnic on the lawn while the movers then come. Just share the big 2.4 litre coke around.
Starting point is 00:34:39 Just take a swing. While the movers come. And then we're going to, like, Morgan and I will instruct the movers and people should be sitting on our lawn just having pizza. Oh, what a beautiful farewell. But doesn't it fit Morgan and I? It does. Until the very end, things will go wrong. And like, we were, I was yesterday, I was getting, I was perching the car.
Starting point is 00:34:57 So the car that I've been gifted from highways and mainland, I'm now perched. I bought it. I traded in my Honda. That's a hell of an indictment for a, like a Sporn Con car. You ended up buying the car. Like, that's a hell of a review. I'm in there yesterday. Morgan's in at Brisbane.
Starting point is 00:35:09 We just been told about the movers. I'm trying to buy this car. They go, we need your proof of purchase. Like, you own your last car. I realize the car I'm trading in is in Morgan's name. Oh. And I can't do anything about it. And she's in Brissy.
Starting point is 00:35:20 You got the same last name? No, we don't. She hasn't done the payboard. She changed her Instagram handle. Surely that counts for something. She thought that was legal. She thought changing her Instagram handle was legally. It's freaky.
Starting point is 00:35:29 It's freaking hard changing your Instagram handle because once you've locked it in, it's like, you're locked in for 60 days. So surely Closters can appreciate. That's what I would have thought. I call Morgan. Guess the time she's having. She's in the airport.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Her flight has been moved and cancelled because it didn't pass some engineering check. She's had two people in the airport collapse and they've gone on the PA. Is there a doctor or nurse? Oh my God, she's a nurse. And you know what she did? Because you know how that's like,
Starting point is 00:35:55 that's always been something I've wanted to do? I've been on a plane. Do we have a doctor? And I get up and go, guys. I got this. I can save the day. Yeah, but really my skills are in Zeta and radio. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Yeah, it's going to be hard. You could talk the person through there. I can back announce Taylor Swift if that brings them back to life. Will that help the heart attack victim? But Morgan said they announced it and then she like hesitated. And I was like, what? As if that wasn't like a pull off the cup. She's the least showy person we know.
Starting point is 00:36:17 She's the least look at me person. And she waited for someone else to go up. Then she went up and helped with that person. A couple people fainted or whatever. Oh, okay. She's like, I'm not that kind of nurse. I was like, who cares? They don't know that.
Starting point is 00:36:27 To be fair. She's a theatre, like surgery. She's like, unless there's a scalpel involved, this is not my skill set. I also ask me this question. Oh, yeah, wait. Can you prove you own the car? Hey, can you send me a photo of your face holding up some sort of form of identification? Of course we threw that paperwork out.
Starting point is 00:36:42 So we've got to go to Service New South Wales. So to get that to drop it back to them. Shut. The flight came in last night. Our friends are going to come to start to it. You want to go. You want to get in the car tomorrow. Forget about it.
Starting point is 00:36:52 We do have a final giz bit to give away. Now, do get our audio producer has made us something for this. Which I don't know. how he's had the freaking time. He's done a good job, because inside the next half an hour, Ducco, we have built something to look back on your six years here on the program. I mean,
Starting point is 00:37:08 shy guy and babs, we put our two cents in, but Dugie had to work very, very hard. And yet he still created this. It's a lost jizbee, the very last jizby, it's the very last jizby, it's the last jizabeth. Jess and Ducke's last ever jizbit. I had a bit of everything in it from the Dugman. That was unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Put that in for an Oscar. Best original school. I loved it. That was incredible. Oh, last jiz bit. Yes, doogie. Thank you, just, sir. That is the momentum.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Yeah. And the occasion. Yes, it's big. That this needs. We made a limited edition run of the rice cooker jiz bit. Yep. Please don't bother texting. We know it's a jibbitt.
Starting point is 00:38:26 We call it a jibbit. We get it. If you know what it is. It sounds disgusting, grow up. If one of my friends was shown off her crocs and I went, firstly, I don't need to see these ads. But she goes, look at all Mijibis. And I genuinely went, what's it that?
Starting point is 00:38:41 It has recoded in my brain. Hell yeah, as it should. As a jiz bit. So what we need now, we have one left to go. We want to give it out to a proper rice cooker. Someone who is an OG fan. Legit the last one. Yep.
Starting point is 00:38:51 So you've got to call us, 13, 1060. Tell us why you're the biggest fan. Plead your case. Plead your case to Babs. We'll get you on the air. We are going to go through a few next, and we're going to pick only one to get the final Jess and Ducko Gisbitt and Fringe. Fortunately, there are no runner-up prizes here. Unlike Alfa Bucks, you don't win the 10 grand, I will sling you another prize.
Starting point is 00:39:10 There's only one of these left. Yeah, yeah. And also, you can just call up if you want to have a chat, 13, 10, 16, anything you want to say. Someone hitched one off your wife's unattended crock. They stole this. At the beach a little while ago. Yep. This is hot property.
Starting point is 00:39:25 This is, yeah, this is crazy. So 131060. Can I confirm you have eyes on the single jiz bit? Like we actually have it. We have the jiz bit, Shaggo, right? You've got it. Yeah, we've got it. Because I hope it's been under lock and key. Yeah, it should be.
Starting point is 00:39:36 People are trying to steal this. Exactly. People have been wanting this. We've got a couple of people not returning next year, yourself included, around the office. Oh, yeah. One of them may have put it in the back pocket. Don't be doing that. And this will be worth a lot of money when I leave.
Starting point is 00:39:48 Collectors item. You know when, when like, the artist dies, the art goes up in value. Oh, yeah. And we're killing you off at the end of the episode. Yeah. This is a hell of a... This is great. Hell of a thing.
Starting point is 00:39:59 13, 1060. Get on. Plead your case. We will play the opener again. Hell yeah. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. It's the last Jizby, the very last Jizby,
Starting point is 00:40:37 it's the last Jizby. Jess and Ducco's last ever Jizbit giveaway. Thank you, Cheesy American Game Show host. Yes, it is. the final jiz bit. Crocs have been a divisive piece of footwear. Haven't they just? Amongst the team.
Starting point is 00:41:06 But we made some anyway. We did. We jumped on a trend, rice cooker jiz bits. Big Wheels is here. Gide boss. Hi, Jayce. Have you heard your mentions this morning earlier? Have you noticed that's coming?
Starting point is 00:41:19 But we need to talk to you, the good rice cookers, who want this final ever rice cooker bespoke, Jess and Ducko Jizbit. There was only about 100. made. And we were willy-nilly. Remember when we did the wetting of the baby's head earlier this year to celebrate the birth of young Florence? There was, what, 30 rice cookers with? I remember throwing some at people, just being like, you have a jizabeth, you have a jisbit, and we will pull the side being like, obviously. Guys, stop doing that. You're hitting people on the head.
Starting point is 00:41:46 But the bigger issue of, these are not an end-all supply. No. We only made a limited run. Yeah. Babs found the last one. She dusted it out. Nick called through on 131060. Nick, do you want to get your hands on our Gizbit? Look, I would absolutely love the Gisbit. But I think more to the fact of I just want to give Duck Owl's a bite. Oh, God, love you.
Starting point is 00:42:13 Oh, I love you, Nick. I'll tell you something, there have been plenty of mornings where I've been on the way to work. And kind of just looking forward to listen to both you guys. Yeah, definitely brings a... a shine to the day. I'm sure all the other ice cook is going to agree with me when they, you know, we all absolutely love listening to you guys. Thank you, Matt.
Starting point is 00:42:34 And yet, thanks for all the good times, Jess and Ducco. You know, we all appreciate it and we're not really looking forward to seeing you go. But it is what it is. It is what it is. It's bittersweet. Thank you so much. That's honestly. That's really sent me, Nick.
Starting point is 00:42:47 You don't understand how grateful we are. I know I speak for both of us and I do that a lot. And you call me out on it when it's not a we situation. but I know this one is. This one is. The greatest privilege of this job, Nick, is that we get to wake up with you and hopefully start your day on a good note.
Starting point is 00:43:06 On a positive note. We know that the job you're going to might be tough. We know that things are going on in the world. You as an individual might be going, oh my God, I can't look down the barrel of this day. But, Nick, the fact you've articulated that, that we can maybe put a bit of sparkle, a bit of shine, a bit of laughter.
Starting point is 00:43:21 That is the greatest honour. You don't get to sort of hear that stuff full autonomy of this job. But some of these messages I've received the last week, and people like you, Nick, saying that to me. Thank you. Appreciate it, brother.
Starting point is 00:43:30 It means a lot. No, you're right, guys. You guys have an absolute awesome day and, you know, good luck with your adventures, duck, man. Thank you. Thanks, Nick. Merry Christmas, happy New Year. I got stopped at Kinky Boots and Musical last night,

Our lives are, I moved from Brisbane and started COVID as well now. Yeah, yeah. You must have arrived similar time, so you would have... Similar journeys. You would have met Ducko when we met Ducko and seeing the growth in that. It's pretty crazy to think, like, when you met, well, us both.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Ducco and I are only six months apart, but, you know, we'll both engage. You're a bit older than me, hey. You're the old lady on this team.

Reality TV show, Oz Idol, an animal, could have been an alligator. Oh, and something small could have been an ant or an atom. If you'd said that. If you said Adam, I would have paid your tangerang.

Starting point is 00:52:47 I've been a long-time listener and I feel like a rice cooker, but I don't actually know what a rice cooker is. Oh, wow. Well, that's the energy we need from rice cookers. This is going along with it. Because, you know what I always say, Kate? Well, you can't cook rice without a rice cooker, can you? We just picked a great story from a great listener named Reese,
Starting point is 00:53:05 and we thought we want a collective noun for our community of listeners. We landed on rice cooker. That's the whole story. That's pretty much it. After all these years. After all these years. Hey, thanks for playing. Thank you, Duck.
Starting point is 00:53:18 You've been a pleasure to have me as every morning. We'll really miss you. Thank you, Kate. I'll miss it here too. Thank you, Kate. And up next, we are taking a look back at that six years, that was. Six years. It has been quite the mission to condense that down into a neat little present for you,
Starting point is 00:53:38 a summation of your time here. Nearly 1,249 is what we landed on. Don't check me math. I'm sure there was maybe a public holiday that I didn't count for, but... So many memories, so many laughs. We'll unpack it after Ray. It's Jess and Ducko.
Starting point is 00:53:58 Jess and Ducko. Coming into the text line, 04,88-1069, all the messages and stuff. I just made my final Instagram post. I know I just read it and you said it. Mems, yep. Check it out on my, uh, doco, but... Um, we need to get down to business because we are running a bit late. This is a farewell package.
Starting point is 00:54:14 It wouldn't be our final show. We're not running late. my God, it's that late. Sorry, let's get to it. We have spent a lot of time trying to summarize your time here, Daco, and I hope you enjoy this. Look back at 1,249 shows together. Well, what a week it's been with Jess and Ducco? Shy Guy, no, I told you we were dropping the producer's diary this week to say farewell to Ducco here. We literally practice this, you moron. You were meant to say, well, what a four years it's been for Ducko on the Jess and Ducko show.
Starting point is 00:54:48 It's six years, Babs, six. Baby, bar, bye, bye, bye. Well, what a six years it's been for Ducko on the Jess and Ducko show? Originally, the Nick Jess and Ducko show. Nick Jess and Ducko! To quote Ducko. Coming in, Natalie, very good weight. Ducko came to us, not so wide-eyed and bushy-tailed.
Starting point is 00:55:08 I moved to Newy and joined this show before COVID even existed, not knowing a single person in the town when I was 27 years old, not married, no kids and I'll walk away, mid-30s, married with a beautiful daughter and I made friends for life. He was the number one draft pick with a reputation that preceded him. I don't know much. My nipples have no feelings. An inauspicious start to his career, his teammates were a little dubious about this
Starting point is 00:55:36 firecracker from the cane toad state from day one. Okay, here we are. It is the viral challenge, Jess and Nick, to eat out of the kindly, the kind mouth of Nick. Is it viral? It's my man, don't worry about it's all viral. You better go viral. We did this for nothing. He's got such a lot of.
Starting point is 00:55:53 You never gets up to an idea, I guess. The odds might have been stacked against him, which, as you'll know, is extra insulting for big wheels over here. Our boss was organising the cardboard cut out, and he goes, what's your height? I said 173 centimetres. He put it to then our promotions team, Danny and the gang. And Danny has come out and said, there's no way. Duckers 173 centimetres. She's like, he is so much shorter than that.
Starting point is 00:56:15 He's at least in the 60s. And then one little boy walks past with his dad. Look, Daddy, that boy is standing on a box with a sore arm. And I was like, I'm a 31-year-old man with a dislocated shoulder. And a mortgage. She was German, this waitress. And they get your drink. And everyone's like, yes, please, whatever.
Starting point is 00:56:41 She comes back, okay? I've just said the drink I want, just a 4x. You know me. Sure, simple, you're a simple man. She comes back, she gives six of my friends, all a drink. Doesn't anything, just go for you, for you, for you, looks at me, swear to God. She goes, and for this short one, I got you this. But he never stopped dreaming big.
Starting point is 00:57:03 I really want to ride a horse bear back topless on a beach. When the doubters rally, the superstars know. You have to be your own biggest fan. Whenever I go running, or something that takes my concentration, you sort of go into the zone. I will cox a full 2,000 metre race in my head as I'm running. And I'll be like, squeeze, squeeze, kick, kick, kick, leg, legs, legs, kicks, kick you. Sitting on 28, let's bring it down, 25 on this one, go, chan, sand, good, gripping it there, gripping it, moving, nice Gilman, keep sitting forward, oh, sand, you get the picture. Look at the veins in his forehead and neck protruding out of his flesh.
Starting point is 00:57:49 Oh my God, where did you just go? I go to a different place. I go to a different place and I get really puffed at the end. I feel like if I dated me, sex would be wild. Look at this thing. I'm going to stand right up so you can just see me. Look at this thing. When you say this thing, are you talking about your own body?
Starting point is 00:58:06 The camera is literally right on your crotch. I think you've got a moose knuckle. I do. I do have a moose knuckle. Lucky he has got great support in the love of his life. Obviously, I don't mean Morgan. How long did I wait before we propose seven years, six years? Six years. Well, I mean, you've got to make sure that the meal you're going to have for the rest of your life is the right flavor.
Starting point is 00:58:26 You know what I mean? Or Connor Watson. Duck, O'Connor and we could be the three best friends. Because that's a couple's better than a couple. I can't even say Texas, baby. I can't send another injury. We're not being there for you So kind of let me be a bestie
Starting point is 00:58:51 Can't join too We're obviously talking about Pan I don't feel awkward naked in front of Pam Like at all I do it all the time But I do sometimes find that she looks at it Like, what the hell is that thing? Because it swings. Me and my dog both love beans
Starting point is 00:59:06 We were cool That's what I said as many people say I'm aware of that Don't forget how much he loves birds, guys I don't know how to quite say this so I'm just going to come out and say it. But I loved ducks. And of course, the support every week in the stadium,
Starting point is 00:59:20 our beloved rice cookers, always quick to show their admiration, their respect and their love for our guy. You weren't working in the, um, where do you live now? Mary Wither area? On Monday? Yeah, there might have been me. Why, you saw Ducko naked?
Starting point is 00:59:38 I, well, he forgot to tell you. Once he did come outside, he only had a pair of shorts. son. He's going off as trickling. Oh, my God. This is not you, Tracy. But you're sure. It is.
Starting point is 00:59:48 I panicked because she saw me stark as. Hey, Marissa, can you squirt into Ducko's face? Would you take that as a compliment? Yes, Marissa. What a great chip.
Starting point is 00:59:59 I'm taking it as a compliment. Yeah. I was doing some sideline commentary. Do it every on them for the NRL. It was just like One Direction or like a big, a massive band was in town and the fans were going nuts.
Starting point is 01:00:13 As I'm there, Just like, because I was quite close to the sideline watching it. Taking it all in. Taking it all in. First of all, this lady goes, they're like, drive patty this way, but hey, you're Ducco. And I was like, yeah, yeah. She's like, oh, looks around, goes.
Starting point is 01:00:25 Yeah, I guess I'll get a photo with you. The Bonds Ducco forged with his teammates will go down in history. You are screwing. You're going to 50 bucks. Don't. I don't drive around this pretty freaking mini. I had your birthday party at my house this year because I was like, you're away from your friends and your family.
Starting point is 01:00:41 It's your first year on the same. I hope. Me, don't kill me. Don't you do that. Can't go to the meeting with our boss's boss and our boss with this vomit on my shoulder. You know, you've got to put the jumper back on. I know, but I'm so hot. You know what? Why don't you switch shirts with Babs?
Starting point is 01:00:53 Yeah. Babs, can I have your shirt? Oh, then I look like I'm homeless. Oh, Zing. You copy my fashion. He does. I said, I know I have. Bro.
Starting point is 01:01:02 How have we not talked about the knit? The knit? That's all you're just about to say. Duck home. I didn't realize it was a net. On Friday, I said, don't wear a knit. I don't even think I own a knit. I get into the car.
Starting point is 01:01:10 I was like, motherfucker up, that's a knit. You put my undies on your head while you were home alone, ran around by yourself, like, I've got done those undies on my head. I went to take a photo, and they went, what am I doing? Did you check on the longer? You told me on air anyway? I'll do, I'll do badgers now. Oh, shut on.
Starting point is 01:01:28 We've been looking forward. It's muzzled. Just muzzles. Can't, can't hear her underneath the chastity belt. And then it was like the book in the book. Harry Potter niche and then when you open
Starting point is 01:01:41 it's like a a self-aware king Ducko always knew where the gaps in his knowledge and talents were so we want to send
Starting point is 01:01:51 you and your family to the one-in-only Billabong Zoo these school holidays with its clue for the zoo and today's clue is wombat
Starting point is 01:01:58 I love wombats me too yeah you remind me of a wombat well fuck you I bet like like sleep
Starting point is 01:02:06 and then I realised as soon as I said it It's like, oh, I'm a mere cat. It's the same shit. Okay. How do you feel today? Are you exited? I'm just...
Starting point is 01:02:18 I'm just... Ah, oops. My bad. My bad. There you can tell. I think you've just captioned. There you go. Why?
Starting point is 01:02:28 I didn't even dump it. Yeah. I'm tired. You're tired? And I'd argue... I couldn't sleep until like 1 a.m. I'd argue... I was adrenly.
Starting point is 01:02:36 I was jacked. Emotionally. Yeah, yeah. And you weren't jacked up on Mountain. Dude, you were jacked up on this. Apologies for you in that one slide, everyone. He has synesthesia. He has synesthesia.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Now I can't say. Thia, thysia. Cinesia. Yep. He has synesthesia. I got this. I'm a professional. Yeah, you got it.
Starting point is 01:02:56 He has synesthesia. Do it without the giggle now. From the top. He has synesthesia. Yeah, see, I don't think you wear briefs, brother, because breeds are like, oh, I don't wear them. No, I don't wear those. Yeah, yeah, like jocks.
Starting point is 01:03:10 No, I don't wear that at all. Yeah. See, I thought brief was undies. No, I don't wear that. Geez, have I got, oh, wow. Yeah. So what if I... This whole time, you're telling people you're involved.
Starting point is 01:03:19 God damn it. No, wonder if people look at me so weird. You've aged yourself. No, I've got no friends. No, box a brick. How are you secured or why? See, I just wearing briefs? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:03:28 She checked. She goes, she's like, he gets it wrong, but it's fine. Do you reckon I could do it? Look, there's no question you could do it. Oh, thank you. It's whether you should do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, God, I'd get bored. Could you imagine that?
Starting point is 01:03:39 I don't think you have the... What do you mean? We're camping out. The discipline. I can't eat that food. My gosh, go nuts. Hey, how did the Taliban get in? Oh, Dukko got distracted.
Starting point is 01:03:48 Actually, they're really nice guys. I was just chatting to them, and they assured me no violence. Oh, they've blown something up. Oh, well, that's the end of that. They gave me a game, boy. I was distracted. Look at this game, but this is a detonator. Oopsie.
Starting point is 01:04:00 No one, and I mean, no one could drop a bomb quite, like Ducco. This is dumb as all hell. Do you think that when, we think that when fish were created, they looked down and went, I need hands. Where are my hands? Hands? They're looking at birds flying. They're looking at humans with their hands. They're looking at tigers and lions outside with paws. And they're like, what? Where are my hands?
Starting point is 01:04:23 Funny, he was so concerned about the fish when he is their number one natural predator. Salmon in a bag. Salmon! Salmon! Summer! One thing that's no secret is why he looks so good. What smell shouldn't you like? I like old ladies, and you like a sweaty gym hat, your pig wash your gym hat? You take 16 showers a day, how you're not washing your gym hat?
Starting point is 01:04:51 You've really exaggerated that. I know, I just like it. I really like it. Maybe it's a hard work, I don't know. It's a long thin boy. You know what I mean? Well, it's got a bit of thickness, but it's not too. Oh, to Nick Gill and a tree.
Starting point is 01:05:02 Exactly. Just stick your arms out, Gilly. Is that what it looks like? Oh, that's way white. than my tree. Do you need everything to be fit in your house? Everything else to be lean. When you enter, Ducco's house.
Starting point is 01:05:15 He doesn't have a doorbell. You have to do five push-ups and then he knows you want to come in. I never normally eat toast. I never only have carbs. I was like, I want to have cards. I'm feeling a bit weird today. This is a player who left it all on the field. He was vulnerable, he was raw, and he was real.
Starting point is 01:05:32 And he put his body on the line for the show multiple times. men's mental health, we climbed the merry weather stairs for an hour straight with a 10 kilo weight fest. They did it! They did it. This has been remarkable. Kept going for the full hour. We've just got an update from the Toploaks Foundation.
Starting point is 01:05:52 Can you believe that the amount that this crew has raised just ticked over $24,000? Thank you so much everyone for coming out. That was dark there for a bit really hard, but it sort of reminds us why we were there. So it's come back saying I have something very, very, very, very. very, very, very rare, and I'm missing part of my Y chromosome. So Y chromosome is what makes you a man, right? Part of mine, which is called an AZFC deletion, it's the technical side of things, is just not there. My little chromosome makeup, it's just gone.
Starting point is 01:06:20 And that's just how you were born. Yep, my dad doesn't have it. I don't have any brothers. They think it's just started with me. What? Essentially, lots of people who have what I have don't produce sperm at all, but I'm making, yeah, I'm making a tiny bit. So there's something working, but on the flip side, they don't know how long I'll be doing it for. It's a unique situation on top of the unique situation because of how it came about on the radio and our situation.
Starting point is 01:06:45 It's just very strange. Yes, yeah. But anyway, that's the update. Thank you. Thank you for sharing. I know there's a lot of people, as we've said each time they've opened up and been vulnerable. I think a lot of people have felt seen and a lot of people have, you know, kicked into action because of how much you and Morgan have shared with the community. So thank you for that side of things. Wasn't always about his test.
Starting point is 01:07:04 though. I'm going out of Connorspeer. Just so I want to get one. Nothing's wrong. Just want to get checked up. You know, can take young people. Obviously, I've got family history about stuff. So I just want to make sure the pipes are clear. So there's a three-day process you need to follow and that kicks off today. And then I've got to take the sachets on Thursday night and then just, you know... Just leak.
Starting point is 01:07:19 Open up. Exactly right. And just spend that night on the toilet. God. It's not fun. You're looking at Flos Nappies going. Can I think what's on me? Can I borrow what? Blue cheese are a bit bigger. Can you bring those in? It'll probably fit me. I'm going to be so skinny. Thanks, Babs. Only the best players focus on legacy, leaving something for the next generation
Starting point is 01:07:43 by literally giving us the next generation. Very special guest in studio. My wife is in the studio. Morgan, good morning. Good morning. Morgan's had a bit on the show before. Playing quiz with a twist. That's right.
Starting point is 01:07:56 Each question has a twist. Someone who's pregnant starting with the letter M. Morgan. Surprise. We're having a baby. Oh, how do we go? Congratulations, guys. That's unbelievable.
Starting point is 01:08:15 How do you feel? It doesn't feel real. It doesn't. No way. So it's like a relief mixed with like a fear, I think. I am gobsmack. We do know the gender. We are having a girl.
Starting point is 01:08:27 Oh, yeah, me, guys. Having a little girl. Congratulations. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I moved to. Newy and joined this show before COVID even existed, not knowing a single person in the town when I was 27 years old, not married with no kids, and I'll walk away mid-thirties married with a beautiful daughter and it made friends for life.
Starting point is 01:08:46 So if we get the big chops and we make the big money when we look back now, will a joke still be fun? When they kill off a main character in a series, it might usually mean the end of it all. But as we learnt from Shagai, the show must go on. Do we wait till 8 o'clock? Like, do we say bigger downsman? Like, what? You can't drop it at 6. No, it's wasted. So, Sean, I got on the sheet with it, and then, and then, it's wasted.
Starting point is 01:09:07 It is. Shai goes, like, guys, hold do a thing in the week. Hold doggo dead content till 8-10. But here's the real kicking, right? Because then I buzzed out to Babbs, and I said, what would you do? Babs goes, well, I'd imagine we'd take some time off. And I said, how much? Babbs goes, at least a couple of weeks.
Starting point is 01:09:21 And shy guy, by himself typing an email goes, a couple of weeks. The show can't stop. The show must go on. No one will ever match what you were able to do. or be able to find more stories revolving around their butt. She's inspecting it because she's a nurse. Cold water. Cold water.
Starting point is 01:09:39 A bit of burn stuff around it. Lucky you are with a medical profession. I know. Or anyone. Lucky you are with anyone. It was a big turning point when I thought I had hemorrhoids and I had to get her to check and I had to bend over. Actually, I sort of like lay my legs back above my head like this.
Starting point is 01:09:57 And I got her to like look down and deep into the bulls-off. and shats of it. No, it's not hammerways. I was like, oh, thank God. We all had to drive somewhere yesterday for a long period of time. We're all in the car. And the minute you and Shaga got out, I just let one go. I was holding it for so long.
Starting point is 01:10:14 Smelly? It's because I had beef jerky on the trip. You did. That went right through you. Oh, mate, that ran right. Jess and I had Pringle. Yeah, yeah. I got home.
Starting point is 01:10:22 My wife's like, have you eaten beef jerky? You should have farted into the Pringle tin. That would have been a coast. We could have done that on the highway. God, all these opportunities I missed because I was trying to be a good person. I'm not going to be good anymore. What a gentleman. You have permission to now not be a gentleman.
Starting point is 01:10:37 It was so funny. To me you guys go to the car, I was like, oh. And as our lives change. Milk me. I'm a bottom of steak. Oh. Some of the bottom guy. C is delightful.
Starting point is 01:10:56 You is for unreal. Z is for ground talking. Palm. Oh, wow. Thank you, team. It was a great package. It was great to look back on some of the best times ever. He's a phone. There's so much we left on the cutting room floor.
Starting point is 01:11:11 There is another version. An extended version. I mean, it was 12 minutes in itself. Our boss is out having a connipion. We'll send to you, but we want to give to everyone as well. So Shago will upload that. Yeah. A bit later.
Starting point is 01:11:26 I need a minute. I'll say a few words. And then Babsville, and then you will. Oh, wow. We go around the room. a few words. Okay. And I mean a few from me and Babbs.
Starting point is 01:11:36 I mean a few. No, I came here two years ago. You've been a very pleasure to work with. I should have written some stuff down maybe. But no, it's been an honour working with you. You've helped me grow as an executive producer. And I know Babs well attested this, like, her growing as well. So we're very grateful for that.
Starting point is 01:11:54 And we're very grateful. We're sad that you're going, but we're grateful for your opportunity here in Brisbane. And obviously, of course, your family too. And we're just, like, really happy. for you. Sadly, you're leaving, but really happy for you and, yeah, we're going to miss you. Thank you, mate. Miss you too. Fine. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:08 Well, I was just a receptionist when I started here. And my first impression of Ducco was you being drunk with us streeties at the Christmas party. So I did so much. But I was so scared to start this job, like really scared. And I don't think there's been a moment where I haven't felt supported by
Starting point is 01:12:24 all of you guys. But also, Ducco, you see me having an internal battle all the time, whether to use the microphone or speak up or just say something so dumb, but you're always encouraged it all the time. So I really appreciate you for, yeah, I feel like I've really grown as a person on this show. I'm actually getting upset because it's like, we're all so close and it's just like a really supportive team and it's just going to be really strange not having you here.
Starting point is 01:12:49 But obviously, you're going to do amazing things in Brisbane and we all love you. Thanks, Babs. Appreciate that. It's been great to watch you grow as well, both of you and this whole team and this whole little family. So it's been, you know, it's been a pleasure to be a part of. I'm so mad at you. I'm so mad at you.
Starting point is 01:13:07 I can't even look at you. I know. I know. I'm mad at me too. I know there are bigger things in the world. I know. I just adore you. Oh, we have such a good time.
Starting point is 01:13:23 There's not too many jobs that offer you an opportunity. To build a connection. with someone you work with. Work can be sterile. It can be something you have to do just to get by, pay the bills and support your family. We are the luckiest people in the world
Starting point is 01:13:44 who have found a career that has enabled us to build a friendship. I don't even consider you a friend, my man. I call you brother every day and it's because I know that you are family. In a different life, our paths would never have created. And when I think, I believe in parallel universes.
Starting point is 01:14:04 Of course. You know, I'm big conspiracy. Oh, yeah, of course, go. Yeah, yeah. There is a parallel universe out there where Jess and Ducko did not cross paths because they either were not in radio or simply radio did not put them in each other's orbit. But I thank the Lord. I thank the universe that I live in this reality where I got to meet you. And we got to make each other laugh.
Starting point is 01:14:29 Our job description has one dot point. We get paid very well for this one dot point. Have a good time. And in turn, ensure other people are having a good morning. And what a privilege it has been to do that with you for six years. First with Nick, of course. And then the past two, just you and I. I am so grateful for you.
Starting point is 01:14:51 I know it's not all been sunshine and roses. We are very passionate people. And sometimes that means two bulls in a China shop because we want the best for each other. for this program for our listeners. Sometimes that has created tension, but we have always communicated. You are one of the most perceptive people I've ever met.
Starting point is 01:15:12 You do not leave a stone unturned. You always ask me, you're right? Takes you 60 seconds, if not less, to work out. I'm not all right. Such a privilege, such a joy. I'm so grateful to you, but I will never not be mad at you. Like a brother, like a family member, like a blood.
Starting point is 01:15:34 I will never not be mad at you. Yeah. I am thrilled for your family. The opportunity you're taking is incredible and it's a testament to your talent and your skill that you got poached. Without an audition, guys. Without an audition, he got poached. I'm so grateful I got you for six years and I know we're not done. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:56 Our children will be friends. Yeah. We'll be having holidays wherever we need to. I look forward to being the obnoxious idiots at a resort in Fiji without children taking over the pool and sipping on my tides. Absolutely. Thank you for six years. Thanks for making me laugh.
Starting point is 01:16:14 I've got a six-pack because of you. You can't really see it, but it's unbelievable. Because I laugh every day, and that is one of life's greatest privileges. Thank you. Thanks, guys. That's really nice. Do I say something about you guys now? we go to some stuff and come back and do it to the end, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:16:31 It's up to you. You're running the ship. You've got 21 minutes to run the ship. Part of it's like we're running late. Forever, forever on task. I know, I will say, quickly, you know, shy guy, been a pleasure, mate. You're a weapon. You're a legend. You've been great.
Starting point is 01:16:47 Keep striving for success and striving for more, and you're a perfectionist, and it's been awesome to work with you. Thank you, likewise. Babs, similar, like, you know, you've had a bit of a tougher a couple of months, and you've handled it with grace and dignity. and I'm really proud to watch your growth as a person. Oh, thank you. And, yeah, keep knowing your worth.
Starting point is 01:17:06 And for you, who's mad at me, look, all good things must come to an end and nothing good last forever, but if it didn't come to an end, you wouldn't know you're in the good times, you know? So I'll look back on this as some of the best times in my life. And you are our main player in that. And I love you. I love you. You know, you are like a sister.
Starting point is 01:17:34 That's all your tits yesterday, which is weird. It's kind of weird now. I've seen my sister's boobs, but. I couldn't decide what to give you. You know, gift-giving is my love language, and I genuinely have bombed. I'm like, what do you give a guy who has been such a pivotal part of my life? My growth as a person. And you've been there through all the momentous occasions.
Starting point is 01:17:52 Besides being in the delivery room, like, you've been there for at all. Yeah. And I've got nothing to, like, I've got. You've given it all. You gave it yesterday. You know why he saw me dips? That's that. No, truly, though, like you said, we can be, we're passionate and we're loud and we're chaotic
Starting point is 01:18:07 and, you know, we can clash and we've had some tougher times through their fertility journey, all that stuff. But the North Star was always each other. And we always spanned our equilibrium. And, you know, there was some tough times for everyone involved in all those things. And the fact that we always came through and always had fun and always were real on this show, I'm so proud of it. Amen.
Starting point is 01:18:25 And, yeah, it's a testament to you, testament to us. And, you know, I think we challenged each other to make each other better every day and I'm really going to miss it. And like I said, it was a really tough decision, but farewell. I'm surprised, I'm the one who dies. It's me.
Starting point is 01:18:42 Surprise. It's all-orotic asphyxiation. The worst spoiler ever. He went the way he lived. We are going to come back with our call of fame of the year because we need to do that. Oh, yeah, we've got a thousand bucks to give away. So we have a bit more time.
Starting point is 01:18:55 But thank you, team. Thanks to everyone. Peace of love. Jess and Ducco Call a fan Call on a fake Go to win the prize Yes

Starting point is 01:19:23 And we kept choking Like please keep getting involved In the show this week you could have a Stephen Bradbury and get your name in the mix but we looked back at 543-2 we were going to give the gold medal individually
Starting point is 01:19:38 to someone we met in March Ducco His name was Greg We asked the question What happened with the delivery driver Greg called up and told us this We used to pick up John Doe's from the airport
Starting point is 01:19:54 and take me out to the uni at North Ride You cause America sells, yeah, America sells cadavers. And we used to pick up. One of the, the quickest way to get out there is going out a road that's got a transit lane on it. One of the guys used to put the body in this passenger, so you could use a translet line. Shut up. The T2 lane. You could do the T2 lane so he didn't get done.
Starting point is 01:20:18 Hang on, a real dead body. Well, he just prop up the dead body in the passenger, just buckle them in and just, it looked like they were having a snooze. Yeah, they're sort of, they're wrapped. Sort of like a mummy, but not a mummy. Oh, I understood. I'm like Greg's colleagues having to have like a spare t-shirted shorts in the boots. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a weekend at Bernies.
Starting point is 01:20:37 Just dress him up. And we remembered Greg from March week, where that story still made us laugh. It was wild. Yeah. But yesterday. Oh, we had one of the great callers. After I flashed you my boobies accidentally. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:52 A husband's here, actually. I know my wife. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Guy, genuinely by accident. I can't unsee what I've seen. I'm wearing a bra. Oh, she's flashing everyone out there. Got a bra in today.
Starting point is 01:21:05 That's your leader. I learned my lesson. Yeah, you did. I'm not going to repeat the same mistakes, but accidentally flash off an impromptu headstand. You asked the question, when did you have a slip? When you ever slip? When it pop out?
Starting point is 01:21:17 And then we had Charlotte call in and tell us this. First ever horse riding experience with a girlfriend who was very experienced at horse riding so off we go on this little trail and because she was very experienced and been horse riding many a time they decided to let her go on the advance trail with me because that's what happens and off we're going and in my wisdom I sort of lie down on the saddle sort of thing to sort of slide down but the little hook at the top of the saddle caught my shirt and my breast and my bra and so I've got both of them out and I'm hanging from this horse screaming.
Starting point is 01:21:53 My poor girlfriend is on the floor laughing and I'm thinking this is not too bad. There's nobody else around. You know, here I'm in panic. But no, no. There was a whole group of Asian tourists who could not speak a word of English. Snapping photos, laughing, taking photos, speaking.
Starting point is 01:22:11 Charlotte hanging with her titties out. So good. Off the side of a horse was too good not to award joint. Call of Fame winners for 2025, Greg and Charlotte walking away with $500. $500 each. Just in time for Christmas. Yeah, why not?
Starting point is 01:22:29 Yes and Ducko. Finally, this is it actually. Twelve minutes past nine, we are running fairly late.
