Starting point is 00:00:00 The rumors are true. Maca's new Mick Griddles is finally on the Brecky menu. Jess and Ducco! This is the Jess and Duggo podcast. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the podcast. It's been three weeks since we did one of these. It has been a while since we've just turned the mics on how to chat with our pals.
Starting point is 00:00:16 I know. Professional development. I was going to say it flew. And as the words were about to leave my mouth, I realised, no, it did not. That was a long three weeks. It was a long three weeks. Did you feel that too? I feel like we've been away for longer than our Christmas break, which was like five weeks.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Yes, do you reckon it's because we both had challenging professional developments? Yeah. Like for you, shy guy, living your best with your pals on the slopes, did it fly? Yeah, it went pretty quick. Yeah. Did it go quick for you, Babs, because you were working? No, it didn't. Yeah, dragged.
Starting point is 00:00:45 And also your boyfriend was away for two of those weeks? For the whole three. Oh, was he? I thought he was back for one of them. He got back at the end of last week, but he wasn't, like, he was so asleep. He was a shell of himself. I didn't see him really until Friday, so. Right.
Starting point is 00:00:59 And then was it just sex on tap on Friday? Oh my God. You dropped him off to the airport. Yes. Originally. Did you pick him up? I offered, but his flight came in at 5 a.m. Oh, fuck that.
Starting point is 00:01:11 I was meant to get him from the train station and then I kind of not forgot, but didn't get there in time. So we end up walking to my house and go with his suitcase. Yeah. That's all right. Then I drove him home. My house is near a train station. There's nothing worse than flying in internationally to Sydney and then having to get a two and a half hour, but it's like three-hour train from there. there to Newcastle.
Starting point is 00:01:30 It would be very grim. Oh, it's a long. Particularly the trip he had. Yeah. Which was just booze, booze and booze. And then he was by himself the whole trip home, like on the flight. What happened to his mate? Don't know of how to fight?
Starting point is 00:01:40 No, they're still there. He's still there. What's his mate? Flynn. The bandmate. Yeah, yeah. How did they hold up? Because I was the only, have you traveled with friends?
Starting point is 00:01:51 Yes, I have. And how was it? Like, for me, my one experience traveling with my best mate at the time resulted in a massive if I wouldn't speak free. year. See, I think I had like eight mates and then it was down to six and it was down to three. So there's always enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whereas your boyfriend and his friend, whilst they were on a Kintiki, it was them and he just, them themselves and I.
Starting point is 00:02:11 No, they said fine. I asked him and he said they all got, like he got along with him, fine. And then, but yeah, I guess there was buffers though because the whole Kintiki, there was a lot of people. Sure, sure, sure. Did they like the people on the Kintiki? They did, yeah. Apparently they were lovely, so it was a good group. Friends for Life kind of vibe, like, get me on socials, we'll chat. Yeah, literally. Many Aussies or like from all around the globe now? I think most of them were Australian, but there was maybe some Americans.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Yep. Oh, yeah. And then some Kiwis. Yep. I think, yeah. But they were mostly Australian. One of those things where it's like, where are you from Australia? Oh, Newcastle.
Starting point is 00:02:40 I've never been there. Yes. I'm in Sydney. People would ask, you know, they hear the accent. Where are you from? Or they'd guess Australia. Yeah. And you say, they go, so many Italians.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Melbourne or Sydney? Yeah. Yeah. Newcastle? Neither. No one. One Uber driver goes, oh, yeah, Wollongongong. Me new Wollongongong.
Starting point is 00:02:57 How funny is that? I went, how do you know, how did he say, it's like a Wollongonga or something like that? Like, how do you know Wollongong? He goes, I have family in Wollongong. That's bizarre. But yes, no one really knows specifically. No. I'll just say Sydney sometimes.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Totally. Near that area. Near that area. Virginia or Sydney. But no, I did feel like it was a longer holiday. Bro. I feel like it went forever. Like I was actually, we got home after it and I was like, fuck, because I haven't been in this house.
Starting point is 00:03:20 It was like a house who being shut off for three weeks. It was so dampened stuff and it just smelt. Oh, of course. There's not been an open window. Nothing open. I know, so wet here while we were away. Yeah. Because even though you were in cold, chilly New Zealand,
Starting point is 00:03:35 all those photos looks blue sky. I had two days of rain in my entire holiday. Oh, wow. I felt like the whole time that you guys were away, all it did was rain. Isn't it funny? I had more rain in Italy. It was wet in some of the parts.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Milan at rain, Bologna, rain, Lake Como, it rained. I mean, Euro's summer, what is going on? It doesn't like storm there, does it? We didn't get any storm. It's funny, though. We're on the boat in Lake Como. just having a little tour and the bloke was like
Starting point is 00:03:59 lucky he didn't come last week we thought he was going to say because it was 38 degrees he goes we had hail like what you don't think of Lake Como and hail no you do not
Starting point is 00:04:06 he goes there was a lot of damage you never see that on people social he said he goes the climate change this is the climate change yeah you haven't made the ball Luca you are correct haven't me of course his name was Luca
Starting point is 00:04:19 all the stereotypical but ours this when we checked in you know on the jetty the wife clearly Ozie we went you Australian she goes yeah I met my husband
Starting point is 00:04:27 my husband traveling 30 years ago. He's from this town. We fell in love and I moved here. This tiny town on the coast of the lake on the edge of Lake, what's your name? Janine. It's like, was not expecting to meet a Janine. Hilarious. Lake Como, no.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Geez, Lake Como would have been busy. You know what? It was, but it only felt that way, I think, because the towns are tiny. Do you know what I mean? Like, I actually think it could have been a lot worse. Right. So it wasn't horrific. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:04:54 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's touristy, but we expect it. Yeah, yeah, okay. What about Queensland? Very busy. Very busy. I didn't find there was not many New Zealand locals. Like in Queensland it's just all like tourists, even working at the bars and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:05:07 It's all tourists. Because it's easy for us to one travel, of course, but to work, get a working visa. And everyone was like, it was heaps of Chinese in, uh, okay. Oh, like, that's a big flight for them. Yeah, absolutely. Lots of Chinese tourist groups I've found. I wonder if you can fly direct, probably. You can fly direct to Australia.
Starting point is 00:05:22 You should be able to fly direct to. Well, you can do New Zealand direct to New York. Oh my God. How long would that fly be? I think that's the biggest flight in the world. Right. So you can fly Australia to New Zealand and you can do Auckland, I think, to New York. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Because I was looking at the, I was showing flow to keep occupied on the plane, the Qantas map of all the routes you could do. And I was like, so you go Perth to London, direct. That's a big one. And then you can do New Zealand to New York. I would rather do that. If I was flying in New York, I would rather do that and stop over. With the kid, though? Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:05:50 I just don't think I'd go with a kid. Yeah, fair. Yeah, I just don't think, honestly, I couldn't think of anything worse than going with a kid on an economy flight for a long. Oh, fuck. How, I don't know how people, it's so hard, just to keep them entertained. Oh, my God. But not even, you know what, it's not about keeping them entertained. Under two, they're on you.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Yeah, they're on you. I understand buying a whole seat is much more expensive, of course. But at least you'd have some reprieve than this body on you the whole time. We were lucky that Morgan was breastfeeding flow on the flight so she could just like whip it out and feed her and stuff. Morgan's getting so nonchalong with whipping her tit out now. It's ridiculous. It'll be interesting to see. I've sort of gone back to, oh, have a bit of discretion about many.
Starting point is 00:06:27 People's, but there is a period of time where you go, I notice when people don't, we saw some friends yesterday. They came over and just say hi, whatever. And Morgan's just like breastfeeding. And they're like, I can tell the guy was like, oh, I'm sort of looking at the and like, Morgan's so nonchalant about it now. I'm just like, she hasn't put anything over it. She's just like, oh, yeah, breastfeeding.
Starting point is 00:06:42 I'm like, right. Has she been around her family, her brother? I jump on the other one again, Babs. There it is. I was waiting. Yeah, yeah. That's what the guy was trying not to look at. Not, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:54 Sorry, guys. We'll be five minutes. You guys just talk amongst yourselves. How is she around her family or your family? Fine around both. Yep. And my family, like my oldest sister was a bit more private with it. And I think they're a bit like old.
Starting point is 00:07:05 So like I could tell there was like people have like, like instantly have like that, they get their sort of be like, oh, okay. And don't know what to do. Can I get you a blanket? Yeah. I'm fine. And then just like let her go. It was fine.
Starting point is 00:07:15 But I found breastfeeding fine in front of everyone. But I had to. Yeah, I had to. Pump when my brother and sister-in-law were in town, that I was like, I can't do this in front of people. Like that just. Like a cow. Morgan walked around with her breast pump in front of her family.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Get it, sis. I know. And her dad's like, what's that? I was like, oh, she's being milked. I was going to say back in his and his wife's days. That would pump's a thing? No, I don't think so. No.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Like his mom. His wife, Morgan's mom. Yes. Breast fed for like a year and a bit. Whereas Morgan's jumping off breast. Wow, that's a long time. That, you know what? That's teeth territory.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Yeah, yeah. That's when they can bite you. More power to you. Do whatever you want to do for you and your kid. Yeah. But the teeth, forget about it. Because we're moving to formula in the coming in the coming days. And Morgan's like super excited.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Have you transitioned yet? Not yet. We're going to start doing it. And Morgan's like excited because it means she's less attached. Did I give you that machine? Yes. So I can't wait for you to just bless technology. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:14 So we're doing that. Yes. And she can have a few more drinks again and feel less tethered to the baby. Yes. My thing is that that increases my workload. So I'm like, oh, just stay in the tip for us long. Let's wean. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Me more. You really want, Flo's looking so healthy. I don't know if you should do that. She is looking fantastic. And she will continue to look fantastic, of course. She's so, she's so fat now. Like, she's so pudgy. It's so funny.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Do you know what? Actually, you shared a video of your nightly talent shows that you and Flo put on for the entertainment of your wife. She's so talented. While away. Yeah. And you were sort of lifting her over the chair, at the back of a chair to obviously hide the puppeteer. It's like you were Randy and Sammy Jay. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:08:54 What a reference. But you were, I was literally thinking, God, his arms must be burning, like the way you were having to hold her. I'm like, that's actually a workout. Just like, like, face, just like not doing anything. She's even got like her, her shins are fat. Like her, it's like, how does this happen? Careful, you're going to, you're going to trigger, not that they're fat, but I know you have shared larger shins. Being a baby's the only time, it's good to be fat.
Starting point is 00:09:17 That's right. She's so pudgy. You want a fat baby. Yeah, you want a fat baby. You know what I see her and goes, oh, she's so full. Morgan, you must be making full cream. That joke has been said. that many fucking times by different people, always older people.
Starting point is 00:09:29 That's so funny. Geez, Lucia must have looked really anemic. I never got that job. I never got, no one ever said that. She's on oat. She's on that oat. My kid was starving. My supply was shit.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Morgan's making a lot. Yeah, good on it. So you know what? That's actually going to be interesting about weaning off that. So Morgan doesn't, oh, she's going to be uncomfortable regardless. But to wean her body to not producing, does she have to do some sort of really slow, staggered I guess, I don't know. Because you can't just turn that tap off.
Starting point is 00:09:58 The body's going to keep making it. Keep making the milk. It's where Ducko swoops. Yeah, yeah. Ah, now we're talking Babs. I'll get it, honey. Gee, Sucko, you're looking huge. I know, gaites.

Starting point is 00:10:46 Big shows and big vibes In 2025 This is Jess and Ducko Great camera action Hands up, Tits up Let's get up Right on 6 o'clock. Welcome to Monday, team.
Starting point is 00:10:57 We are back. That's a voice I've missed. Hello, my friend. Good to see you. Bonjourno, should I say. I want to be one of those wankers that comes back from their Euro trip and just constantly leans into it for far too long. I'll say, Kiora.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Oh, I love that for you. I'll say New Zealand took me three weeks to work it out that way. Can you use Kiora the way the Italians use Chao? Is it hello and goodbye? Oh, that's a great question. Is it just a greeting? I think it's just a greeting. Okay, fair.
Starting point is 00:11:23 They only said at the hotels, and stuff when you arrive. Kieran, you're like, why is everyone so happy here? Yes. Is this place real? Mate, that's because it's picturesque and beautiful. How was your three weeks of professional development? Let's just make sure we get that on the record.
Starting point is 00:11:36 A lot of people reply to my story saying this looks like great development, and it was great development. Excellent. You were outside your comfort zone. You had to go across the ditch. Obviously. And, you know, if you had to have a couple of glasses of wine and take in some sites, Sue me.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Well, Daddy did learn that you can't drink like you don't have a kid when you do have kid. It was a tough learning curve and I feel like I'll make that mistake a few times. Particularly when, and I know where you live, you know, you don't have your whole village, but when you're on a trip, you've got no village except each other. So one of you wipes yourself out. Oh, my God. Yeah. Do you and Morgan, because my professional development took me intercontinental, took me to Italy. Yes, but you're in the motherland. That's right, in the motherland. I have much to ask you about that journey. Our professional development, sorry, my professional development, tested the relationship.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Yeah, that's what I want to ask you about. I texted Angus while it was over. He messaged me. He replied to my story. I was like, hey, how bad is travelling with kids? I'll never do it again. You know that saying? It's cliche.
Starting point is 00:12:32 I think it was in one of the parenting books that I read. Maybe it was seen something you read or listened to. It's not you versus your partner. It's you and your partner versus the problem. Yes. When it comes to parenting. Yeah, yeah. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Wasn't we, weren't we just chanting that at each other? It's fine. We're having fun. We're overseas. everything's good. Kept trying to sit Angus down for a gratitude talk, being like, aren't we so lucky? And he was like,
Starting point is 00:12:54 she could be tantrum at home, who cares? Yeah, yeah. I don't care. She's doing it at a piazza in front of Michael Angelou's David. She went and saw the Pope and had a tantrum outside the Vatican. You know what? The Vatican was the best behavior.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Stop it. Stop it. It's because he was there. It's because Leo was in residence. He was on the balcony. We went on a house this fruit. Trip with a kid. Saturday night in Italy.
Starting point is 00:13:15 What did we do? Went to the Vatican? Because we're like, what else are we doing? Take some fun. photos, in bed by six. Literally, she chased some pigeons, and the catabinii put the sirens on, being like, ugh, it's the police.
Starting point is 00:13:26 What is that? Jess is back? Just say police. Yeah, yeah, Cassie. No, but the catabiniary is like the military police. The polizier is the police. She's clutching onto that holiday, you know? She'd say polizier, it was just the police show.
Starting point is 00:13:39 You said at the top, you're going to be one of those wakers. I'm a detailed person. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, we've come out of this stronger. It's like we're forged in fire. Won't be doing another one anytime soon? No, hey. Next one, do you want to do a group for the Fiji?
Starting point is 00:13:52 Strengthen Nubbers. I've never got home from a holiday and said, I'm inviting my parents on the next holiday quicker. Like, Mom and Dad, you want to come? Obviously, you pay your way, but you'll mind my child. Ducco? The whole trip. Guess whose name I was cursing the most? The whole time I'm going,
Starting point is 00:14:07 that bitch should have been here to help me. She should be minding my kid. Instead, she was actually the only one at work while her boyfriend was in Europe, depressed. Bags. I offered to pay Babs a per diem to a cup. to accompany us around three weeks of professional development in Italy. That's stupid girl, refused, and I had to deal with the kid on my own. Sounds like she made the right call.
Starting point is 00:14:29 That was your time, Babs. Do you recover? Yeah, it was very relaxing, actually. Oh, that's... You're probably the most relaxed out of all of us after our trip. I know. We all need a holiday. After the holiday. Absolutely. Because Shire, you moved house.
Starting point is 00:14:41 No, well, I moved tomorrow. So Babs will be filling my shoes tomorrow because I won't be here. He's not coming in tomorrow. No, no. Pardon? Yeah, I know. Wait, sorry. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:14:49 The only day the movers could do. Wait, wait. I couldn't do it last week. We work 6 a.m. till 9. I know. Movers are coming at 7. Surely your mum can be there. Nah, I got to be there.
Starting point is 00:14:59 Oh, okay. Hang on, we've taken three weeks off. And, oh, I had to move. How long did you say you were skiing? One. One week. Okay. You couldn't time anything around.
Starting point is 00:15:09 I know. Ridiculous. Paul Babs has enough on her place. I signed the contracts all I was at the snow. You're taking the day off to move house. Full day. A full day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:17 I was messing about someone I want to do on the show and he told me that and I was like Are you taking a piss? Well, how do we know how to hold? They were very expensive to book on the Saturday, okay? There it is. There it is. It was very expensive.
Starting point is 00:15:32 You know what it is. It's because they pay an hourly rate and chuggargo wants to ride them hard. But also, as like, no friends, a single person with no friends, how much stuff do you have? Not a lot of stuff, but it's just the heavy stuff, you know, the lounge.
Starting point is 00:15:46 You got a strong. I often help, and he said, Duck I did offer, but not. I've often helped that many times when he's moving to. You're desperate to get away from the wife and kick. Yeah, yeah. Mate, honestly, I'll come all day. What do you need? Please.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Let me take your bed apart and I'll put it back together. I'm truly offered so much. He's just said no to me every time. I would have helped too. The ones, but yeah. No, I mean, like, with like trying to find a place. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I just, I just, I found it.
Starting point is 00:16:09 He's a lone wolf, that's why I said, that's exactly how I described him to Morgan. I said, shagai's a lone wolf. He doesn't want to ask for help. He doesn't want to say yes to help. He never wants to invite. Amen. You're going to hunting in a pack. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:19 We're booking an extra to Fiji. Yeah, yeah. And you'll be there, Shigai, I'm yet to get the inbox. Babs? We'll do the show from Fiji. We'll get sponsored somehow. Oh, I love that. Bulah.
Starting point is 00:16:27 We'll take listeners and kids over and it'll be like an escape to get away from your kids. Bulah. Bulah. More get on Carver. Babs and Shagai with the children. Duck and I. Angus and Moore. Carver is the local liquor.
Starting point is 00:16:40 But it makes you hallucinate and stuff. Yeah, yeah. It's like the Fijian and green fairy cool. Real escapism. I cannot believe you're taking the day off. We've been back one day. Ridiculous. Oh, well.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Sure your mum can, your mum loves a show. She can just step in for you for an hour. Yeah, Shaz. What are you doing? We'll be crossing to you every 10 minutes then. While you're away. I want to cross you while the move is there.
Starting point is 00:17:00 No, no, what I want. I want the name of the moving company. I'm going to call them today. You've got any other spots that day. Don't act like the one spot available was 7 a.m. That's a great idea. You couldn't do 9.30. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:11 On the name and number. Yeah. Yeah, Babbs, sure you thought he was taking the piss a bit? Oh, checks out. Something shy I would do, so you honest. All right. It's good to be back with the team. It's, I miss you guys.
Starting point is 00:17:26 This is where it's at. This is where the party is, you know what I mean? This is better than any overseas. What did you call the police again? Godabini. Oh, that was a food when you said. Yeah, me too. I was that carbonara.
Starting point is 00:17:36 I'm going to make a big statement here. I could not look at a carbunara for a while. Jesus Christ. Wow. It's huge. One a day for three weeks. It's a nice. Well, we do have a big show.
Starting point is 00:17:48 We are back, obviously. We got Alpha Box your chance at 10K, 630 and 8. Plus, our call of fame is a humdinger this week. Oh, my God. Azizum. Would you like to go see Ed Sheeraner? Jess is about, we'll iron out all these kinks, you know? We should have done a rehearsal yesterday.
Starting point is 00:18:05 What do you mean? Azizum, that's his song. Yeah, we know. You'd be excited for his concert. You love a bit of head. Did you already? Yeah, already. I was going to wait.
Starting point is 00:18:14 We'll see if we got any freebies. Damn it. But hey, those are for getting involved any time, 13, 10. 60. Up next, though, we're going to my hometown. That's right. Or if we were established in the show meeting, Shaga thought France was Italy. No, I was looking at a tab of my computer that had an Italian thing on it.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Right, right. You said, oh, you were there. I'm like, what's right? Joe's like one day, then I'm back on holidays. I think France is in Italy, and we're going there next. If we go out of France, there's a nude village or Italy. We'll talk about something next. Good to be back.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Jess and Ducko Jess and Ducko Ducking over to my neck of the woods Rossin. I've just flown back from Europe I'm going to fly back. Yeah, did you go? You just stayed in Italy, didn't you?
Starting point is 00:18:56 Stayed in the motherland. It's my eighth time in Italy. I just have no interest to point anywhere else. It was hot over there, I'd imagine. Hot, lucky though, we're in the north, so not as hot. I was expecting 38 degrees. How was Florence?
Starting point is 00:19:09 The city I hate that my daughter's named after. I thought of you so much. You had a great time? Maybe I just didn't do it right. If not, the best part of the trip. And I actually was hesitant to tell you that, because I know you didn't have a great time there. But, oh my God, it was Angus's favourite.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Maybe I just didn't do it well. I don't think we did Florence well enough. It's big and it's busy, but this is what shits me about people who go to, like, Rome. Oh, it's too busy. Yeah, because it's the best place in the world. Yeah, yeah. It's bustling. It's touristy, but it is just stunning. Good steak there.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Yeah, really good meat. Yeah. great meat up there and subsequently great leather. If you got good meat, I guess you got good leather. I was actually, I said to Morgan, I was like, I'm pretty sure Jess will bring us all back gifts from her holiday. Like, that's what she does. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Genuinely thought about it. Yeah. Because you remember before we went on professional development, we were taking Babs on her own Kentucky to try and, I guess, patch the wound her boyfriend left by chuffing off on his Kentucky. We weren't bullying her boyfriend. We're having a bit of fun. No, we're just having a bit of fun, which is the whole ethos of this show.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Maybe you're new here, not sure. But when we took her to Rome We wanted to get the statue of David Either boxes or aprons Shy guy couldn't find any in Australia I saw them and went Should I buy them for the day? That'd have been funny
Starting point is 00:20:25 Because I was looking for Presidency You guys Because Morgan's like why I was like I think Jess will And I'm not sure with the present And then I forgot and we didn't do it But you didn't get anything Do you not know because again
Starting point is 00:20:35 I did the same thing to Angusney went We are so broke You're not racing anymore You know what I wanted to buy you The pasta shaped like a penis Oh see this That you should have.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Thank you. God damn it. Take it up with Gussie. Oh, Angus. It can be so annoying. But to be fair to Angus, we are broke now. I bet you are. I couldn't.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Hey, right now though, we're in a captiage, a natures village in south of France. This is just south from Montepilier. I'm pretty sure I butcher that. Montpellier, there we go. And should we know Montpellier? Well, it's in France. So anyway, the reason we're in this dedicated... I just not how specific you were where he are, which you're set.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Which is south of here. Okay? It's been a couple of weeks, all right? I know I've been developed, but let me just get through this. The resort is dedicated to a naturist community. It is the leading nude destination in the world. How's this? 12 million people strip off and stay for the night during peak season.
Starting point is 00:21:29 They have 45,000 visitors per day in peak season. Wow. So, yeah. Did you know, I got annoyed. I read a fact that Italy was the fifth most touristy country. I went, who's pipped it at the post? France is number one. He's the number one, the Eiffel Tower.
Starting point is 00:21:43 And, well, I think, because of this place. On the nudist place, 12 million visitors. That's a hell of a thing to bring to the economy. So this is what it's market as. It's market as a nudist village with 180 businesses, a mariner, a shopping centre, a post office, and a transport system. You have to do everything in the new there. So if you go... I want to send a postcard to my mum.
Starting point is 00:22:01 You've got to go to the post office naked. Go to the shop's naked. Right. Everything has to be naked. If you... I mean, if I'm travelling around, though, I've got my super... case full of clothes. Do they even allow clothes in the vicinity? Or do you have to like leave them
Starting point is 00:22:16 at the border of the town? That's true. Or do you have to just leave them in your hotel or something? Maybe, yeah. If you get seen on the street wearing clothes, whistle, hoppers. I've seen some photos in this village as well. Of course you weren't looking for. Because I was like, well, should we do a trip here? It's an on trip advisor of call it heaven for open-minded couples.
Starting point is 00:22:33 There you go. Oh, couples. So apparently it's a bit of a swingers place too. Keys in the ball, thank you very much. They have a swingers party's called moose events. That's what they're called. and it's $60 to go for a night for the moose parties. Okay, start saving now, Babs.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Come, Babs. Take you a couple weeks to see. Got that, Jethra. I'm going to a moose event just south of Montpellier. But of course, we're just having some fun. We are just having a laugh. Could you imagine, out of anyone in this team, Babs is the least likely to get her clothes off and go to a nudist event.
Starting point is 00:23:04 But see, Babs is an enigma ducko. Who she presents to us in this professional environment, I think, is nothing like, oh, I'm going to obscure you that I don't want to ship off making. She could do a much. It is absolutely certain Babs would hate it. Me and shy. There she's on all the billboards.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Welcome back, our number one customer. Right now, it's paramount. Yes. You take us to Queensland. Bit of Shepard, the family band. America has NASA. Yeah. Do you know what Australia is answer to NASA is Ducker, because I
Starting point is 00:23:43 feel ignorant. What do we got? Gilmore Space Technologies. Doesn't sound as cool as NASA. I will give it that. And I'll be honest, after perusing their website, I don't know if they're doing quite the same things,
Starting point is 00:23:57 but I don't know many other space companies working on Australian soil. Is ours just in a paddock somewhere? Couldn't be more right. Cattle paddock in Bowen. Yeah. I was Bowen in Queensland. Oh, beautiful part of the world.
Starting point is 00:24:10 To be fair, that's not where Gilmore Space Technology's HQ is, but it's the site of their recent rocket launch. Okay. They chose a cattle paddock. Obviously, you need the space to launch a rocket. What's that? Couple of cows. A couple of cows. Hey, Betsy, get out of the way.
Starting point is 00:24:25 Move quick. Move. Hey. Oh, Shagos rolling his eyes outside. Oh, what do you take today off as well, Champion? Maybe you need to go pack up some more of your house. Shagai's taking tomorrow off the morning if you just joined us. He's got to move house, so he's not coming in.
Starting point is 00:24:40 tomorrow, after having three weeks off. I'm going to have to do my own research about Gilmore-Face. It's fair enough that I have it off. I have to move. It's busy. I hope you're taking it as a day of leave. That's complete BS. We work for three hours where we are fundamental.
Starting point is 00:24:54 No, you work three hours. I do a full-A. Yeah, but what I'm saying is... Don't do a full-A. You're such a liar. Can we pay? Bats probably does a full-A. If anything, she's not on a full-nine.
Starting point is 00:25:08 I go, why don't we pool our money? I don't know how to. how much private investigators cost, but I would love someone to tail shy guy for... You'll be wasting your money, I'll tell you now, you're just wasting it. No, but to see if you're actually moving or you're just sleeping in tomorrow. Oh, no, he's watching the Big Bang Theory again. No, I know you've moved on to Young Sheldon. Yeah, we know you love Young Sheldon.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Oh, he's naked at home again. Anyway. Anyway, we're in Bowen in a cattle paddock daco because your mates up in Queensland, Gilmore Space Technologies. They usually will, they're working on stuff to launch satellites to space, right? So that Australia can be in this. race about working with space. Boots on the moon, baby.
Starting point is 00:25:44 It's been done. Lowering the cost of access to space, says their website. So what, we can all, as pedestrians, go on trips to space? That's a great question.
Starting point is 00:25:52 They use 3D printed fuel. Oh. How whack is that? Does that work? I have no idea. I didn't know you could print a liquid. How does it? 3D printing wigs me out.
Starting point is 00:26:01 I don't fully understand it. I don't get it either. If you were printing a model for a gallery or an author. a souvenir, maybe. But when it's actually functional, I have no concept of that. 3D print fuel. 3D printing fuel is what it says on Gilmore
Starting point is 00:26:20 Space Technologies website. But yes, they're working on rockets because they obviously want to do more in this space for Aussies, for the company, and moving forward in that industry. Yes. So they go to launch their rocket, May 15, from that cattle paddock, I'll tell you about
Starting point is 00:26:35 when it was aborted. Abort, abort, abort. We couldn't do it. There's a ground support system. issue identified. They go, don't launch the rocket. This could be catastrophic. All right, we'll go back. We'll work on things. What's going on? The next day, they go back to the
Starting point is 00:26:48 same cattle paddock. When all of a sudden, the rocket's nose cone opens on its own. Oh, no. There's nothing funny than a nose cone of a rocket opening. I don't know why. It's like the rocket is climaxing. Sorry, that's how I see it. Obviously, everyone else might see it.
Starting point is 00:27:07 The disgust I'm getting from our core team on the outside. Babs rolled her eyes and then Shigerga kind of Google's like, yeah, I see it. I say to you again, Sirega, get on board or go home and start packing, all right? Babs is if you don't see the nose cone opening and think of a good time. Sure. So the nose cone opens on her own and they go, whoa, whoa! Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:27 That wasn't meant to have happened. Anyway, Gilmore Space posts a photo of a suspect cockatoo who'd been fiddling with the wires in the nose cone. Shut up, that's the most Australian thing ever. Have you heard anything more Australian than a cock- two fiddling with the wires of a rocket. It's eating the wires and it's malfunctioned the rocket. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Lucky the tech is so good that it's triggering to the team. Well, whoa, something is a miss. Ozzies have gotten in touch in the comments. Lucky they didn't end up launching the rocket. Could have turned him into a flame and galar. Only a sulfur crested, which I think is a type of cockatoo, could stop a rocket from launching. Someone else has said, new thunderbird in action. Oh, I love that.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Imagine seeing a cockatoo to space. Well, you know what they were trying to send. A jar of veggie mite. Is this Australian Space Station real? It's in a cow panic. They're backed by venture capitalists, and I reckon they're just having a great old time. They're having a laugh. But they ended up doing it.
Starting point is 00:28:24 A month and a bit later, they sorted the electrical issues. They got rid of the cockatoo. They got rid of the cockatoo. Fix the damage he's done. And July 30, they sent a veggie mite for 14 seconds. To space. That's all they wanted to do. They're coming for your NASA.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Just turn it up. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Jess and Ducko's 10K Alpha Bugs on here, Apple Bugs. 30 seconds to answer 10 questions all starting with the same letter. I have to take your first answer. You cannot use the same answer twice. And if you're unsure of the questions, say pass.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Of course we come back. If there is time, we are playing for $10,000 in our first game back, our player. Our first player up to professional development is Lisa. Good morning, Lisa. Good morning. How are you guys? Lisa, we couldn't be better.
Starting point is 00:29:15 We are thrilled to be back. Have you been listening from 6 a.m.? I got in the car at about 10 past 6. So you've heard a bit of the show. Do you reckon we sound professionally developed? Oh, yeah, absolutely. Great answer. Everyone does, except shy guys, having a day off tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:29:32 He only skied for a week. He should have done eight days. Maybe that would have been a bit longer. A bit longer. Hey, Lisa, what's motivating? you today, babe, what do you want to spend $10,000 on? So we're moving soon, so hopefully I could afford to get a moving truck instead of carrying it all myself.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Instead of having to take the day off work, maybe. You take the day off, Lisa? Yeah. All right, let's get Lisa a moving truck. Yeah. Maybe you can give Lisa a recommendation after tomorrow, shall I go like the team? Maybe I won't do it pre for you. No, no, you've got to make sure they're good.
Starting point is 00:30:05 See they're good, yeah. Lisa, the letter you're going to work with today, babe, is B. Okay. Be for... Oh, my goodness. Be for... Braden. That'll do.
Starting point is 00:30:18 One of the great. No one ever questioned if this man is professionally developed. I'll miss Braden. Rubber. Be for Braden. You're right, Lees? Yep. Beautiful, thank you.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Your time will start after the first question. Starting with the letter, B. We need you to name, an occupation. Um, beautician. A fashion brand. A country. A type of cheese. A type of cheese.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Bigger. A musical. Beauty and the Beast. A body part. A bone. A DJ. A tip. A five-letter word.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Wow. Okay, now there's a bit to unpacking this. There's only one thing to unpack it up in it. Jess doesn't like at least when you say skip. You've got to say pass. You got to say pass. Because then it feels like you're saying an answer. Yes.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The time is of the essence. You got yourself four. I had a question mark. A body part. Are we allowing bone?
Starting point is 00:31:27 I think so. Yeah, I guess you can. I just never had that before. No, we haven't. That's a good answer. If we pay bomb, I think we have to pay bone. Yeah, true. Actually, fair cool.
Starting point is 00:31:36 It was probably the most intelligent what we've had. A fashion brand could have been Balenciaga, a country. You said Barcelona. That's in Spain. We were looking for Brazil. And then a DJ, one of the great, Benny Benassi. He seems like with Gary Go for cinema. Amen. So the feet on of this show.
Starting point is 00:31:51 And then a five-letter word could have been brand or bring. There's a few. Look, we ran out of time, but you don't go away empty-headed. $100 off suspend at Temple and Webster. That's mad. Yeah. Imagine the globe. You can give you a home with up to 40% off furniture, homewares and renovations at
Starting point is 00:32:05 temple and webster.com.com.com. That is all yours, Lisa. Great for the new house. You're moving into. release. Yeah. Thank you so much. You're very welcome. Thanks for joining the show. First one back. Let's try again at 8 a.m. Shall we? Don't say skip. Say pass. Don't say skip. Guys, if I stumble, that's only punishing yourself. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. So don't throw me on. Don't you dare do that.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Hey, out next, though, there was a message thread that our group, we rarely talk in holidays as a foursome. That's right. I think I'll probably message the group thread the most in holidays. See, that actually gives me a lot of joy because your love language is, sending funny memes. Yeah, it was just... And funny vids. But I also just want to check in the team. What's your doing?
Starting point is 00:32:44 What's bad's doing? I miss, you know, I miss the gang. You know? But there was one, there was one argument we had in holidays. Because, to be fair, Babs pretty silent the whole time. To all your funny vids. Anything I sent? I said a few individual texts.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Like, hey, just checking your mental health. I sent the group a video of my husband in front of the Vatican doing one of our great... Thank you, Ducco. Bupkas from Babbs. I reckon she didn't know it was the Vatican. Babs is like, oh, I've got to see them on Monday. I'm going to kill. She had all notifications muted on us, so she couldn't be disturbed.
Starting point is 00:33:17 But you're right, one conversation starter. We argued. And we're going to get into it next. Divided the two. Jess and Ducco 13, 1060. Ask the age old question right now, just because who has the best fries? Now, let's remember we're all friends here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:33 And taste buds, they're individual and they're unique. They're different. But we need to get a census from the rice cookers. We need a vote. Because Chagai, was it you that sent this in the hoist? I sent this one, yeah. See it always working. Maybe that's what you're having tomorrow off.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Oh, he needs a day in lieu. He's going to put it in the system, DIL, because I worked on the parade. I sent a meme about fries. And it made it to the board day one. That means day off. If it makes the board, you get a day off. He sent, who has the best fries? It was like a list.
Starting point is 00:34:02 It's got Macas, Hungry Jacks, KFC, Red Ruda, Grilled, Schnitz, Nandoz and Guzman and Gomez. Was this some Guzman and Jusman and. Gomes? Yeah, they shouldn't be on there. No. They do fries. They do little fries, but they're, um... Love you!
Starting point is 00:34:17 I don't rate the Gusman fries, so I'm not going to lie to you. I like that, Mexico. I honestly didn't know they're on the menu. Yeah, they're there. You can always get corn chips, though, because like, when in Mexico. Thank you very much. Yeah, yeah. What is Gusman, possibly Gomez?
Starting point is 00:34:28 Yeah. Doing with potato. You know what's really good from Gusman and Gomez? Talk to me? They're breakfast food. My God, they're breaky burritos. What do they open, like, six till midnight or something? Yeah, their breakfast slaps.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Perhaps it's just nodding. Yeah. And they're just salivating. What do you get? A breakfast burrito? What's I got bacon and egg in the burrito? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's good.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Hashi. I don't think of anything worse. It's delicious. You don't like breakfast. A hashy? Yeah. Just go to McDonald's, for goodness. They also do a good breakfast.
Starting point is 00:34:52 But we're discussing fries too. And you know what? Look at me judging as soon as I said, we're not going to judge. Yeah. Don't be doing that. Who has the best fries? Now, was this just some random on the internet who wanted to get a gauge. There's a podcast, the Food Guys podcast where they discuss all things food.
Starting point is 00:35:06 You should probably listen to it. I probably should. I love the sound of it already. But I just figured when it came out, everyone's going to... I was like, well, Maccas are the OG. Like, you can't go past a good Macca's chip. But KFC, to me, are the elite fry. However, I do love myself grilled.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Okay, well, no, ducco. You've just batted up three. I know. I know. I'm going to need one, because if you land on the one, I think you're going to... I'm going to pick you apart. I think... Which is your number one for best chip?
Starting point is 00:35:32 Probably grilled. Oh, okay. I love grilled fries. Not mad about it. Yeah. Not mad about it. What do you? I thought you were going to say KFC, and I have a controversial opinion.
Starting point is 00:35:41 You don't like KFC fries? No. Red Rooster is the superior chip. And my issue is chicken salt. Yeah. People lean on chicken salt like it can cover up an inferior chippered potato. Yeah. No.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Red rooster do a solid chip and just put normal salt. That's how you know they're cut above. Yeah. You're not relying on the flavor sensation of chicken salt. I don't get Red Rooster enough anymore. Fair enough. Like, I barely go there. I used to.
Starting point is 00:36:11 I don't think I've ordered anything else off the menu. You just go get fries. I go get a large fries, a large chips, whatever you want to call it. Yeah. They are a chip so good. You know how I feel about sauce. I'll go sauceless. You bear back the chip?
Starting point is 00:36:23 I will bear back a Red Rooder because the chip is so good. Whereas the others, even grilled, even me mates at Nando's. You know, I love me some Nandoes. I need the creamy chip dip. But Red Ruder chips are that good. You can go bare back. I don't put sauce on KFC or, or, Macas chips.
Starting point is 00:36:40 You've got a sauce of macas chip. Really? They're so salty. You know what I do with a macas chip? I palicking it down. It's all gone. Like a spaghetti. The whole thing's in it. You just open the little carton.
Starting point is 00:36:50 So we've got one vote for grilled. Yep. That's solid. We've got one vote for Red Rooster. Shygo, where stands you? For chips, I'm going to say Hungry Jacks. I think they're crunchy up than all the rest. Sorry?
Starting point is 00:37:01 That is the most shy guy response I've ever. H-Js. I don't like anything else that's just the chips. It's like me for Brewster. Yeah. I think they don't have a better crunch and a good thickness. They like the KFC thickness. This is like you're saying RV was the best Robin Williams film.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Well, I would argue that. And you did. No, Hungry Jacks has got to be the worst. The chips though. 10 bucks, Babs says Hungry Jacks. No, no, she'll say Guzman. You know she will. What are you going to say, Babs?
Starting point is 00:37:27 GYG. Yeah, you pick that one, okay. But like, do you actually like them or you just like Guzman? You just loyal to Guzman? No, actually like them because they're paired with the Shepotla mayonnaise chip. Delicious. Oh, see, no, no, now. Now I want to put a caveat in, Ducker.
Starting point is 00:37:39 It's got to be raw chip. It's got to be raw chip. It can't be all because it's got a great sauce because otherwise I would have said a Porto because Prego sauce bury me in it. Porto is right. Yeah, we're talking raw chip. That's what I'm saying. You can't, but I would have said a porta because prego sauce with the chips is amazing.
Starting point is 00:37:53 She said off as a Chipotli mayo. Chip alone. Chip alone. No sauce. McDonald's then. Yeah, see, McDonald's is a good OG chip. You know what you're going to get every time. She's a classic.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Yeah, she's a classic. Hungry Jack's is rogo, Shy Lord. Ah, that's good. Well, we're split. We are split. Sorry, your internet poll, was it leaning one way or another, or was it relatively spread?
Starting point is 00:38:14 No, it wasn't. It was just a post. Just lots of comments. God forbid you scroll through the comments to see if there was a common standard. We all argued in the group. Babs did the sheet. Ask her.
Starting point is 00:38:24 Yeah, Babs was there a deciding factor? No, I don't think so. It was just safe. Good year, guys. Welcome back, team. For Ed Shearing tickets. Who's the best chip? to Shaz on 131060. Gidehaz.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Hi, how we're going. Shaz, we're so good. We missed you. Can you tell how professionally developed we are? Oh, absolutely. Good girl. Now you answer us this. What is the best chip? Look, I do like a red rooster chip, but I also will say I do love a grilled chip. However, Jeff, I wanted to let you know. I used to work at Red Rooster. Yes. And they actually use onion salts. They don't use plain salt. What? What's onion salt?
Starting point is 00:39:04 I guess it's salt mad of onions. Sal onions produced salt? Shaz, you have blown my mind. So while everyone's ziggin with chicken salt, Red Roosters over here, Zagin with... That's why they're so good. That's different. When I first realized, it blew my mind as well, but it's amazing.
Starting point is 00:39:20 Shit. Onion salt. So hang on, you can't be throwing out one fish, grilled one for Red Rooster. We're going to need a definitive shaz. We're looking for the best chip here. Oh, God, it's tough. Probably Red Rooster.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Oh, she's going Red Root. With the onion salt. Back in. Okay. It's unbelievable. Lucas on 131060 Where do you stand on the chip front, Lucas? You're probably going to hate me But I like a porto chips
Starting point is 00:39:43 Oh no Now Lucas No I don't understand a porto at all as a franchise I've had some really good Porto chips Not overly crunchy But the seasoning on it takes a cake point
Starting point is 00:39:56 The seasoning is good Tell me you've paired it with the Prego sauce Once in your life No we're not talking sauce Of course we've done that He's not an idiot I've never gone to a portal to a God. I've had a good time there.
Starting point is 00:40:08 What's your order? The Bondi Ripper. Oh, of course. Yeah. I got a Bondi Ripper through a drive through the other day, Lucas. Sure. What? It was, it fell apart in my hands.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Like, it was just, nothing happens with it. It does. And then the lettuce is going everywhere. It was everywhere in my lap. Oh, but that's Lucas's nomination. That's Lucas. That's Lucas. You can't change that.
Starting point is 00:40:30 And the comments on the original post said Red Rooster and Maccas at the top. Well, there you go. Oh, God, thank you for Googling it eventually. Jess and Ducko. We're just speaking in the break there, Ducko, about destinations on our bucket list. Maybe for our next professional development break. Yeah, possibly. I doubt it though.
Starting point is 00:40:46 I must tell you, this country was on mine. Oh, yeah. I have a friend who lives there, and we met many years ago, and I've always wanted to visit Crystal. In Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. Yeah, it'd be nice to get to Denmark. Well, after reading this story, I don't know if I want to visit. How's this for a headline? Denmark's zoo asks public to donate unwanted pets to feed captive predators.
Starting point is 00:41:10 Unwanted, well, like a house cat? Have you ever read a more hectic headline? Now, as you read on, unwanted small pets is what they clarify, and they are talking about rabbits. Yeah. They are talking about chickens, guinea pigs, or this obviously is not part of the small pet category, horses. Unwanted horses.
Starting point is 00:41:32 If you've got an unwanted... horse or guinea pig, the Al-Borg Zoo, would like you to donate it. Who eats the horses, like a tigers there or something? Must be. One of the big predators. A big cat. And this is the thing. I appreciate, weirdly, what the zoo's trying to do.
Starting point is 00:41:48 They say, we have a responsibility to imitate the natural food chain of the animals in terms of both animal welfare and professional integrity. So I thought they were talking about, like, when you've got a tiger in captivity, it doesn't get to hunt. And that is a natural thing for a tiger to do. And that's a sad part about a zoo, right? Yeah, there might be rehabilitation things and, you know, you've taken them out of danger of poachers.
Starting point is 00:42:08 But at the end of the day, you've taken that animal out of its natural habitat. Yeah, including the hunting. Yeah. But chucking a horse in a tiger enclosure feels really mean to the horse. So what they're going to do is actually euthanise the small pet or horse and chuck it in. Right. So at least the tiger can sort of like find it and devour it. It feels weird on many, many levels.
Starting point is 00:42:30 It feels left to feel for down. Denmark, too. They feel like such nice people. Doesn't it feel like a pacifist country? And this is me only judging, based on my friend Crystal, who seemed very calm and nice. Crystal was great. Crystal would never give her pet horse, Milo, to the zoo. She would never do that. One of the traditional Danish names for a horse.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Obviously. She would never, and in fact, Alborg Zoo have had to turn off the comments on the post, because they put it on social media. Where else do you put public notice boards these days, if not on the tiki? They put in their story. Anyone got a horse we can feed to our tigers? They put a picture, because you know what you have to do. You've got to
Starting point is 00:43:02 make the tiger look like the victim. You've got to make the tiger look like the one people need to care about. So they go, oh, you know, Sharon. One of them, another great tiger. Danish tiger name. Also, shout out to Jagger's mum, Sharon. Sharon, the tiger's hungry. Oh, Sharon hasn't eaten in weeks. Do you have something to feed Sharon? Sharon would love
Starting point is 00:43:20 your horse. Even a small guinea pig will do for Sharon. But this is the thing they had to stipulate. Don't be dumping all your animals. We'll take four at a time. So if you've got 15 horses, are they paying? Or is it just like you give the animals? And that's... You give the animal.
Starting point is 00:43:33 And that's goodwill. I guess that's why they've said unwanted. It's like if you're strapped for cash, don't be looking at Pam going, sorry, sweetheart. I'm going to have to trade you in for 50 bucks. I would never. Sweet angel, Pam.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Could you imagine her getting put into a tiger enclosure? Can you imagine that drive to the zoo? Pam or, I mean, she likes the car. She's like, where are we going, Dad? I'm like, nowhere. Just a little adventure. Oh, no, you take me to the vet, aren't you? She was like, not quite.
Starting point is 00:43:59 Long trips mean you're either driving me to Brisbane or where are we going? How come you haven't given me? my doggy marijuana yet, Dad. I forgot to tell you, we didn't drug her for our drive up north. How was she? Perfect. I think she's just finally five and a half years old and she's a bit more chill. She was just excited to be involved.
Starting point is 00:44:15 She sat in the backseat next to Flo. They slipped next to each other. She was all good. And how's the licking? I know it's not quite connected. Auto vaginitis is still fairy. Rampant. Jess and Ducko.
Starting point is 00:44:26 13, 1060. How the kid ruined the holiday? Just thought, why not? You know, open the gates. There'd be some great stories from toddlers out there. I think you just need a little bit of a pressure valve release, Ducker. And you can get involved in this too, Jess. How long do you have?
Starting point is 00:44:42 Yeah. And I'm sure my story won't even be as bad as some of the other ones. And that's the scary part, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. That's the scary part. Acknowledging, whilst it was challenging, poor, it's probably going to get a lot worse. A lot worse. So I acknowledged that, but however, this was the first taste we had with traveling with child.
Starting point is 00:44:58 And all that flows only like four months. So it was a good time to travel in some way. In other ways, it was an eye-opening experience. So the first thing, because obviously we're going to New Zealand, the first thing we do is we get to Qantas. And my friend Jake has, he had like Qantas lounge passes that he gave us. Thank you very much, Jake. Thank you, Jakey.
Starting point is 00:45:15 So he gave us, I've never been to the Qantas lounge. I was like, oh, this is how Jess lives, is it? Walked in there. I was like. Quantis, please. Oh, sorry, Emirates. Yeah, yeah, classic. I've never been in.
Starting point is 00:45:25 And we walk in with a kid, obviously. Instantly, everyone's like, oh, no. We get in there. You think it's bad walking to a restaurant with a kid? Go anywhere in an airport on the plane. We get in there. I'm so excited thinking, we're going to have all the buffet. We're going to do this, going to do that.
Starting point is 00:45:38 And then Flo just is cracking it. Like, just crying. It's an awkward time. And then I hear this big, like, like, just complete. You look down. You look at it Morgan. You're looking at the kid. Who's turn?
Starting point is 00:45:50 Who's drawing the trip? Not like Morgan did that sound. That's right. Who has to deal with it? Well, was that you? Was that Flo? I looked down. I was holding her at the time.
Starting point is 00:45:59 Oh, then it's just. Oh, you touched her last. Exactly. Instantly, and it's come through. It's gone right through the nappy and gone right through to the onesie. And there's just a Poonami everywhere. And we're in the Qantas lounge. And I'm like, oh, no, I'll take her, get the nappy bag, going to the Qantas, like, the change to it.
Starting point is 00:46:14 I haven't even left. Haven't even left. She's cracked it. She's crying. And this thing was so dirty. Like the wansy was so dirty. I just chucked it in the bin of the Qantas lounge. No, why?
Starting point is 00:46:24 Like it's unsalvageable. Well, it could have been, but I didn't want to sit on a flight with it. You know what I was going to say? That's the other part, hard thing. you've probably thought, right, how much I'm actually bringing for the kid to wear. So, like, sacrificing the outfit that early on, that's annoying. It was very annoying. Because now what?
Starting point is 00:46:39 You've only got one other spare on you, if any. One other spare for the rest of that trip. Yeah, for sure. Then you're on edge. It's like running out of nappies. You go, I don't know, there's no turning back here. I come out. But it's like, where's her clothes?
Starting point is 00:46:52 I was like, no. Just chucked them. Hang on, did you bring her out naked or you changed her? I was like, yeah, yeah, no, like I chucked those clothes. They're gone. We're not dealing with her. She's like, we can't do this at every toilet. She's going to have no clothes.
Starting point is 00:47:07 She's going to have no clothes. I was like, well, if I pooed myself, Morgan, I'd hope you'd throw them out too, okay? Just put it on a hot wash. It would be fine. They would have been fine, too. Was invented more. No, I know they would have been fine. But we're on holidays, baby.
Starting point is 00:47:19 I didn't care. Hell, yeah. I'll pay $15 for a beer and a pack of chips. Why not? And throw away my kids oncey. The real experience where I was like, oh, I'm a dad, was when we got to after that to the check-in where you go through with us. You still haven't left.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Yeah, we still haven't left. I'm not out of the country yet. This is in the airport in Australia. We get to like the, you know, they check your passports and whatever. And it's like, young families this way. And I like, I didn't line up that way. And Morgan's like, no, we're this way. I was like, we are a family.
Starting point is 00:47:50 Yes. We do have a child. Yes. This is weird. That's and, was it a shorter line? Much shorter. That's one benefit, isn't it? That is one benefit. No, this is one great benefit. It's very kind. Went through.
Starting point is 00:48:01 The guy is checking Flo's passport that you're when she was three weeks old, the photo. And he's like, look, and we're like, you can't tell anything. He goes, oh, no, there are tells. I can tell. There are tales with babies that they have for life that you can always check. What do you mean? She's such a spud. She was like, you can tell because I can't.
Starting point is 00:48:18 The photo is taken from above, like a flat lag. To be fair, they're obviously trained. That was like when we returned, she needed a customs card. I went, what do you want us to put as her occupants? I just put child. So smart. Angus was like, Winger. How do I spell Winger? Anyway, we get on the flight.
Starting point is 00:48:37 The flight's obviously different. We get to New Zealand. You got that vibe where you're like, I'm on holidays. I'm going to have alcohol whenever I want. I'm going to do whatever I want. I don't need to set my alarm. Let's get a little dusty. Let's do whatever we need.
Starting point is 00:48:47 We go to this restaurant, this nice restaurant at the start. We're like, yeah, let's just sit here. Flows in the pram. Everything's going to be gravy. She has cracked it probably worse than I've ever seen her crack it before. And have you eaten yet? No, no, no, you haven't. We sat down and ordered a wine.
Starting point is 00:49:01 Oh, and then she's cracked it. She knew. She knew. Straight away, it was my first taste of like, we can no longer do dinners on this holiday. 100%. And what is it, like, 7 o'clock, very normal? I think it was even like 6. It was early.
Starting point is 00:49:14 So I literally said to the guy, can I please get the bottle of wine to go? Can I have a doggie bag for my schnitzel place? I had to, because I was like, pramming around the restaurant, didn't work. Well, Morgan's, you know, it's a classic. She's inconsolable. Morgan's sitting by herself.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Well, I'm doing that. And we tag team. It didn't work. It was like, we need to. leave. It's code red. We need to get out of here. And then we take the bottle of wine, take the baby, sit in the room. Then she chills out as soon as you get to the room. We're drinking red and ordered a cheeseboard to our room. It's like, okay. This is lovely. This is what it is. This is what we do now. And it is just that thing, isn't
Starting point is 00:49:44 it? You know it's going to be different. Yeah. But experiencing it. Yep. And wanting to just have, not even the way it was. You know, it's not going to be the way it was. But just a little bit of a good time. Yes. You know it's not going to be the way it was, but you still think it's going to be a holiday? Yes. Perfectly said. The parameters are just harder. It's just over here. I can see why no one travels with kids or people go to Fiji.
Starting point is 00:50:06 That's right. We're already looking at group holidays. We're going to take both sets of grandparents. We're going to get the kids' class. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. Do you know when I bring you a relationship conundrum? I wish over the past five years of our friendship, I'd kept a tally.
Starting point is 00:50:23 But I'm going to say more often than not, you do find a way for me to see his side, if not just be on his side. What do you make of this one? Okay. Let's vent, shall we? We've been on air for an hour and a half, may as well. I guess text me before. He goes, oh, baby sounding so great.
Starting point is 00:50:41 So I'll be, I know we had a rough night, you know, resettling with the jet lag and the kid and he's been really complimentary. Tune out, babe. We went, how's this for a wanky sentence? We went truffle hunting in Florence. Sorry? You guys, you guys tripping on shrooms, eh? truffle hunting in Florence
Starting point is 00:50:58 For our anniversary this year In April Angus gave me the gift Of an experience For whilst we were in Florence So we can do with a child Exactly Even though the bloke
Starting point is 00:51:09 Giacomo He said Of course his name Of course his name was Jacquesamo The truffle hunter man He said my dog The truffle hunting dog
Starting point is 00:51:17 Lupo Was it just a classic Like a beagle Or something like that And he's like yeah Cocker Spaniel Oh interesting Bro the whole time
Starting point is 00:51:24 I'm not gonna shit I'm not gonna dismiss Sorry, sorry. I'm not going to dismiss Giacomor because it was an excellent day, and he prepared the best meal of my whole three weeks. I'm not going to be bad to Giacom, but genuinely, Angus are going, Angus and I are thinking, did he just put that truffle there? Like, did we not notice?
Starting point is 00:51:41 And the dog, he just drops them out of his pocket. It's like someone playing golf looking for their golf pool. Oh, here it is. It's right. Here's a truffle. 100%. We're watching this Cocker Spaniel and I'm like, just happen to be right there. I get it.
Starting point is 00:51:55 It's just his family dog. It probably can't smell anything It's probably deaf and blind Ah here, thank you Because at one point Lupo is digging, digging, digging That's the dog Lupo's the dog
Starting point is 00:52:06 And Giacomor gets on his hands and knees And finishes the job I went, is it the point of the dog? He's on his hands and knees He said, hey, Lupa has a found that they're trawold He did say because at one point He couldn't find the truffle
Starting point is 00:52:18 And he went, but you can smell the truffle And he made me get on my hands and knees And put my face in the dirt I'm going Yes, I can smell Was it just you three? It was originally meant to be. He had just said no one else's book the tour, so it'll just be you guys on Saturday.
Starting point is 00:52:34 He's just no one else has ever. He's like, what the hell these suckers paid 100 euros for this? What morose? 100. Oh, was more expensive to that. Did you just go to his family backyard or something? Legit, his grandfather's property, his non-Norse property. He just got ripped off.
Starting point is 00:52:50 By the night before, he texts and gas and said actually two people have just booked to American girls. So we get there. He was hitting on him the whole time, wasn't he? No, no, he was. And he was a single man. So I was surprised he wasn't a bit more flirtatious. He's a Italian. He lives for the truffe, though.
Starting point is 00:53:06 Like, he loves the truffles. He lives and breathes the truffel. And the dog. Him and Lupo, they are. They are. It's like you and Pam. They were just a special relationship. I wish Pam could smell truffle.
Starting point is 00:53:18 She'd make you a buck and a half. Truffles very expensive. Yeah. But we get there. And these American girls were sort of at the end of their holiday. I don't know, maybe they were just sort of keeping to themselves. You know when you do these sort of private tours? There's a bit of chit-chat
Starting point is 00:53:32 usually. The classic, how's your trip being? Where have you guys come from? What do you do? Yeah, where are you from America? There wasn't a lot of that until we sat down to eat. So we go hunting for these truffles. Lleport allegedly finds them. Yeah. That's the dot. Llepaw's the dog. Oh, sorry. Jarker was not a pocket.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Lleford is not a pocket. Anyway, we go back to Jarkamore's house and he prepares a meal with the truffles we've found. What did he prepare? The first thing he prepared was a fried egg with truffle shaved on top. Oh, you hate eggs. Bro, I ate it. And it was good?
Starting point is 00:54:05 Out of respect. And I didn't like it, but I ate it. But then he made this fresh talietella with the parmigiano and the truffle. I know what you just said. You just said words. It was pasta with cheese. Then say that. And some trouble, that's not what it's called.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Anyway, then he shades of truffle on top. Yeah. But while we're eating, a bit of wine flowing, we'll lose. And I've asked some questions throughout the day. I want to learn about the truffle, about the dog, about him, about the property. And eventually the girls we start talking amongst ourselves and the Americans ask the classic. And what do you do? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:39 And I say, oh, back home, I'm a radio host. And Linda says, oh, I probably could have guessed that. You're so. And before she finished the sentence, Angus jumps in with, oh, loud. as she says bubbly I went A polite her adjective for loud I spin on Angus
Starting point is 00:55:00 I went was that necessary I had purposely been very conscientious of my volume because we're in this field it's very mellow they're relatively withdrawn I was being really conscientious and he comes in with loud
Starting point is 00:55:15 Can you notice she's the other one asking questions about the truffle I thought of you though not because you don't like I like truffles so much, but I got a, from Jarkham, oh, that's a very good question. To one of my questions, I thought, Ducco would be proud of me. You're that person on the two, everyone's like, shut.
Starting point is 00:55:31 I'm the mature age student who just won't shut. Jess and Daco. Come on baby, let me grab a book from my shelf. Let me sing all the lines for you. You know you've got to pick the melody so you could score a point or two. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Come and play again, you could get brave and bring your eyes forever.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Oh, oh. Book top box. Jesus long. I remember that being better. I don't. That's exactly how I remember it. I have no issue with length. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:15 Just Pauli? Because, because I like how, we don't have to say anything after that. It's all in the gym. If you could get through it. If you can get through it. I just turned down that radio like, shut up. Did they take a layer of autotune off? Yeah, it does feel less auto-tuned.
Starting point is 00:56:31 I think it's less auto-tuned. Someone's done something to you there. Someone's stitching me out. Anyway, it's book top box. Yes, it is. What book have you pulled off your shelf today that you will sing? Today I've got Throne of Glass. Oh, the Tog.
Starting point is 00:56:41 Sarah J. Mars. Yeah. Another one of her big series. Yes, this is the first one. It's not very spicy. This is what got me into it all. Oh, into this world of a fan. Pionion.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Erotica. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a, yeah, it's a bit more basic, this one. Yeah, it is. A bit more young adult. Oh, okay. But do you think it helps you, Ducco, because you know the story, so you can block out? Did you just hear Bab singing?
Starting point is 00:57:07 I'm listening to that, too. We're just with you. I was going to say, maybe I need to pre-read some of these choices, but it doesn't help. All right, take it away. We're going to identify the melody, play along at home, of course. All right, first song. Again. Temptertrap, sweet disposition.
Starting point is 00:57:25 How did you do that? We did play a song about Swam. I, um, you went for the... Yeah, I probably shouldn't have done that. Well done. Thank you. Thank you. Sorry, I don't want to ruin the game by getting it too early, but...
Starting point is 00:57:37 No, no. Well done. Thank you. Thank you. That was amazing. That was. I focus on the words, she's saying too much. Focus on the melody.
Starting point is 00:57:44 You're listening to the story. Yeah, I want to get sucked on all the hype is. Yeah, yeah. All right, next song. Okay. Again, she's still. for the dark passage it was terribly dark
Starting point is 00:57:57 and seemed to be necking to her tone of the breeze what is that song I gotta hold on to what do you got it doesn't make it man if you make it all not
Starting point is 00:58:09 we got it we're halfway there leave it on a prayer yeah listen on a prayer by Joby oh good you know what I'm gonna give that
Starting point is 00:58:18 Job on Jovey yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you got that song I was just great crumming. Give him half. Good job. Okay, that's how you play. That's how you play.
Starting point is 00:58:29 That was a good one. That was a good. God, you are so good at it. Thank you. Like, truly. Okay. Sorry. Shagga, you went out a compliment to perhaps?
Starting point is 00:58:37 No, she knows. She's do it. Do it. It's harder than it seems like you're doing your job. Okay, next one. Thanks for getting the coffees this morning as well. No, worry. I think that's why I'm really into bad.
Starting point is 00:58:49 Yeah, I also washed up Jess's cup before. Yeah. I'm not she didn't take mine, but that's fine. Oh, sorry, I'll do that next. All right, next one. All right. She, I put her head again, there was something calming. Oh, oh.
Starting point is 00:59:02 Wait, hang on. Come on. Come on. Wait, hang on. Oh, she's lost the ball. She's got all the compliments. She's enjoyed the passage too much. She, I pushed ahead again.
Starting point is 00:59:12 There was something coming. And familiar about the Queen's Bay Area? Oh, is it fresh prince of ballet? No. Keep going, keep going. Something that reminds us the leader of the Rose Mill, but there was something so off. about her.
Starting point is 00:59:23 Oh, what is that? Keep going to be more. Selina almost cried, aloud as she saw them. The point in arched is, the is of Faye. Dear mortal, but no Faye had.
Starting point is 00:59:38 I don't know. Married into the Hover Lids for a thousand years. So. Tell me what you want, what you really want, Spice Girl. Yeah. Want a be.
Starting point is 00:59:49 Hello, Ginger. It's more sporty spice. Too be fair, I don't think I did that quite right, but I tried. That one was quite hard. You got it. Oh, geez, we got there in the end. All right. So, Ducko's on two points.
Starting point is 01:00:00 There's nothing more awkward than when none of us are getting it. And Babbs just keeps going but gets less confident. Yeah, no. It's like dwindling it. I'm like, you're trying to catch the thread, but she's getting away from him. They could stop. All right. Ducko's on two points.
Starting point is 01:00:10 Jess on one. Shagga on none. Come on, man. You got a mental day off tomorrow. Yeah, come on. Just get on the board. Yeah. This is the last song.
Starting point is 01:00:16 Okay, here we go. said a light Fear my voice And Salino jumped Yelping as she tripped Of a spear And fell into a Goffield chest
Starting point is 01:00:36 And she saw the owner Of the voice And fro she was beautiful God, what is it? She on reckoning Her silver Come on. Hair float around her youthful face.
Starting point is 01:00:54 Oh, it's right onto my tongue. I've got to stop. Rock DJ. Played to Ducko. Yes. Geez, I took a waltz again. phenomenal from both of you. Juggas, you're a mic on?
Starting point is 01:01:12 Yeah. Do you even like that game you're playing? Oh, okay. Jess and Ducko. Geez, it'd be nice to win that. A lot of messages over the break. Hey, when are you guys back? Oh, do you miss us?
Starting point is 01:01:26 No, I just want 10 grand. I really want Alva Bucks. When are you back to play that game you always play? Yeah, I want to have a bathroom, Renault. I'm surprised people miss it so much. Like, obviously, it's a great game. Obviously, we'd be $10,000 on the line. I think, because we did sometimes play it while we were gone, obviously not us,
Starting point is 01:01:40 it's across the day in various places, but I think people miss us playing it. You know, that's what it is. We're very good at it. Your rules, unbelievable. The best rules you've ever read. My question asking. Oh, so good. As long as you don't freaking say skip, you won't throw me off.
Starting point is 01:01:54 I can keep going. The first caller at 6.30 said skip. Don't say skip. And it just, it doesn't work, does it? It doesn't. Because it takes my brain half a second to go, that didn't start with B. Do I move on yet? Oh, she said skip.
Starting point is 01:02:05 God forbid it's an S word and it's like, skip. That's not going to work. It would only work if we asked for verb. That's so true. Skipping's not a sport? Skipping is a sport. Skipping, but not skip. Skipping is not a sport.
Starting point is 01:02:19 It's an activity. Oh, that's a sport. Good one. Is skipping a sport? Because I could see Skipping being... There's no competition for skipping. There'd be hot rope. Babs, you're there.
Starting point is 01:02:30 You're thinking of the jump rope for heart. Yeah, I am. Raising money in primary school. Oh, actually, no, you guys Google it. Why am I doing it? I come. My computer's updating. I already Googled it.
Starting point is 01:02:39 No, Babs. That doesn't count. Yes, skipping, also known as jump rope, is considered a sport. That is unbelievable. You're telling me for $10,000 we would pay skip as a sport. Well, apparently it has a sport. established competitive leagues and governing bodies and world championships, so that's why. I guess it's hard, man.
Starting point is 01:02:56 I was never one of those kids who was good at it. You know what I mean? Not as hard as hula hooping. Oh, hoolooping is so tough. How do people do that? How do they keep it up for so long? I just look like I'm having sex with the hoolhoop. I'm just like, wrong thrust.
Starting point is 01:03:09 Wrong way. I was going to say, because you know, yeah, so you're doing it wrong. The professional hula hoopers, I've had the pleasure of witnessing. I bet you have. Barely move their hips. It's crazy, isn't it? How do they do it? They're bean poles.
Starting point is 01:03:20 They're just... They just gyraid. It's unbelievable, but the most subtle of gyration. It is, yeah. I'm always scared when I get faced with a hoolhoop, and someone's like, oh, have a go, because I know I'm bad at it. It's like yo-yoing. I've never been mastered a yo-yo.
Starting point is 01:03:32 You don't know how to walk the dog? I'll teach you. I can't walk the dog, hang the frog. I can't do any of that stuff. You know what I mean? Hey, Babs, is hula-hooping a sport? Yeah, check that one out. And we're paying, if we're paying skipping, is hula-hooping a sport.
Starting point is 01:03:47 Oh, she's just Googling. Just all everyone, everyone, talk of my... Yes, hula hooping can be considered a sport. Shut up. This is getting ridiculous. To be fair, if things like breakdancing are in the Olympics, I could see skipping being in there. And hula hooping.
Starting point is 01:04:00 Well, come on. We've got to draw the line. But anyway, I'm going to play alpha bucks. 13, 1060. The letter might be S, might be H. Could be Y. Yeah, what is it? Should we give it away?
Starting point is 01:04:15 Rules of rules. Oh, someone's come back all strict. 13, 10, 60. We'll play with you there. Yes, it is time to make it rain a cashola, 30 seconds, 10 seconds, 10 questions, all starting with the same letter. I have to take your first answer. You cannot use the same answer twice.
Starting point is 01:04:39 If you're unsure of the question, say pass. We'll come back if there's time. They're the rules of engagement. We're playing for 10K, our player today. Jeez, she's called in, Jess. She's here. She's here. God, one of the great palindromes.
Starting point is 01:04:53 Oh, my God. Take that back. It's Hannah. Hello, Hannah. Hello, guys. How you going? Good talent drone, Hannah. Do you appreciate being one of the great...
Starting point is 01:05:05 I love a good palindromes. Thank you. I love it. Kayak, another great one. What's your favourite? Yeah, what's yours, Hannah? Let's just go through it. Look, I'm just going to say the obvious, my name.
Starting point is 01:05:16 Yeah, fair enough. Would be. Anyone ask me how to spell. I'm like, look, you can spell it backwards. That's right. I'm not going to make it easy for you. No. Do H-A-N.
Starting point is 01:05:25 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Finish the rest off. Great times. Hannah, what's motivating you today? Why'd you call? So I called today because my husband and I never had a honeymoon. So we got married in that weird period where there was like a few breaks between like COVID lockdown. And so we never really had a honeymoon.
Starting point is 01:05:44 We've now got an almost two-year-old. I'm like, it's been a hot minute. Yeah, okay. It would be nice if we could, yeah, go on a honeymoon. Would you take the two-year-old or surely give it to mum and dad? Oh, I mean, we'd probably have to take him. It won't be a honeymoon then. It's funny.
Starting point is 01:06:01 Hannah, Daco and I just coming back from three weeks of professional development, having taken our children, and we'd like you to take under consideration not taking the two-year-olds. Or take your parents. Yeah, yeah, take a babysitter. Hey, maybe Babs will take Hannah up on the offer of nannying overseas. But let's get her at the 10 grand first. Perhaps as a destination for your honeymoon, Hannah, you might consider Yemen,
Starting point is 01:06:22 because that starts with Y. You see? One of the great love-making spots, Yemen. I'm not sure if you can get a direct flight. You might have to stop over a few places. Yeah, a couple of stopovers. Yeah, yeah, perfect. One letter off being a palindrome itself, Yemen.
Starting point is 01:06:38 That's enough palindrome gear, okay? We're not the show about that. Who's to say? Me. Let's play. Okay. Nal the 830. You're anything?
Starting point is 01:06:48 Yeah, we're very late. Sorry, Hannah. Hannah. It's, yeah, it is why. The letter's why. Why? You could. Why?
Starting point is 01:06:54 Okay, okay. Yep, get in the zone. Yeah, yeah. Good girl. Yeah, yeah. Your time will start after the first question. Starting with the letter. Why?
Starting point is 01:07:03 We need you to name a cartoon character. Yogi bear. A board game. A yuppie. A verb. A puck. An animal. Oh, um, pup.
Starting point is 01:07:22 A hobby? Uh, yoga. A brand. Uh, oh, puff. A kids' TV show. Uh. An occupation. Ah, dear.
Starting point is 01:07:39 Handel's not going to Yemen. We, no, I'm not going to Yemen, guys. Nah, you're not. Ah, well, you got yourself three. Um, we had a few. A few passes in there. Three of grades. We were too busy talking about palindromes.
Starting point is 01:07:50 We didn't get to get the verb in there, but it could have been yell or yawn or yodel. An animal, one of our favourites on this show, a yak-a-gabber. Yep. Brand could have been a Yeti, a kid's TV show, Yo-gabba-gabba. An occupation could have been... Was it right, you haven't been asked of. Yo-gabba-gabba.
Starting point is 01:08:05 I should have been. I hosted yo-gabba-gabra, actually, before I did radio. One of my many jobs. Your gabber. Gabber won, though. An occupation could have been youth worker or a YouTuber. Look. Ah, Hannah, we don't get, we don't get the mule up,
Starting point is 01:08:19 but we do get a hundred dollars to spend at Temple and Webster. That's all yours, okay? Oh, thank you so much, guys. Hannah, you're a delight. Thank you for joining the show. No, I, thank you for having me, guys. Anytime. Yeah, good to have you all, Hannah.
Starting point is 01:08:31 Good to have you all right, Babs. I really like Hannah. It's because you just talked to her about her name the entire time. Yeah, and she played. She knew what a palindrome. Have you ever, Hannah, have you ever knocked yourself out? You could have been knocked out? No, I have not.
Starting point is 01:08:45 I have not. You can't evolve from there. We're asking you out next. You won't believe who knocked themselves out, how and where. We've got Ed Shearing tickets up for grabs. We do. I wonder if Ed's ever knocked himself out. Probably.
Starting point is 01:08:56 Jess and Ducko. Did you knock yourself out? Well, like, it's never fun being knocked out or whatever, but... Great story, aren't. Good story. You can have a laugh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have a lull with it.
Starting point is 01:09:08 Yep. We're talking to the world of NASCAR, Jess. You know, we love NASCAR. Heavenly Father, we thank you tonight for all your blessings. You said in all things gift. Thanks. Thank you for the Dodgers and the Toyotas. Thank you for the Fords. And most of all, we thank you for Rouse and Yates partnering and good year tires that bring performance and power to the track. Lord, I want to thank you for my smoking hot wife. Lisa. My two children, Eli and Emma. Lord, I pray you bless the drivers and use them tonight. May they put on a performance worthy of this great track. In Jesus' name. We can just go shorten that to the end. We'll do that.
Starting point is 01:09:50 You know, I've asked, I'm very upset with him. I asked shy guy to get in touch with that pastor to give the Jess and Ducco show a boogity, boogity blessing. I don't know where we're out with that. Well, he left us on red. What else is he doing? What else is he doing? He's smoking hot life. I track out of the church and everything.
Starting point is 01:10:05 He just, he just never applied. That happens. Good work. The reason we're in the NASCAR world is Connor Zillich. He is a 19-year-old superstar of the sport, apparently. He's just won six titles. Damn. At 19.
Starting point is 01:10:15 Yeah, yeah, yeah, apparently he's like the next big thing in NASCAR. Forgive me if I'm butchering his name or the titles, whatever, because I don't follow NASCAR myself. You are in three Super Bowl fantasy leagues. NFL fantasies. My apologies. I'm going to update on that fantasy too. You won't tell you the story of what's happening in the holidays in my fantasy league.
Starting point is 01:10:31 My goodness. I was trading players in my break. Morgan's like, will you give it a rest? I don't know how you had a break. I've got two players going to jail. So anyway, I'll unpack that later. What? Yeah, yeah, I'll tell a thing.
Starting point is 01:10:41 Tomorrow, too. What brought down your fantasy league for Ed Shearing tickets? that story. Anyway, Conner, he's celebrating. He's when he's sixth win, the 2025 Xfinity Series season. He gets out of the car. So in the NASCAR, you don't open the doors. You get out, like he's getting out the window of the car as he's just parked as he's just won. His team's all around in cheering. Of course. He gets out the window, so his legs are still in the car as he's going to like scoop his leg out. He obviously clips his ankles, falls out, lands head first on the concrete. Has he still got his helmet on at this stage? No, just a hat, knocks himself out.
Starting point is 01:11:14 Here's the commentators as he's parking, and the moment it happens. Seven career wins. Let's go down to Mobile 1 Victory Lane, Dylan. Oh, we went down on the cage stand. Oh, my gosh, he fell. And the camera pans up. It's like, he's out. Like, you can tell he's out cold.
Starting point is 01:11:30 Oh, my God. He's knocked himself unconscious. Couldn't be part of the celebration. Couldn't get up and enjoy the moment. Who did the shaking of the big champagne bottle if he had been knocked down? I'm not sure who did that, but he couldn't do it. He's fully fine. He's recovering at hospital.
Starting point is 01:11:42 Obviously got himself a knockout, concussion, yada, y'i. But, I mean, a bad place to knock yourself out. With all the eyeballs on you, when you're meant to be celebrating, doink. I've knocked myself out once. I'm surprised it's only once. Yeah. For a man who puts his body on the line as much as you do. I've not had too many head knocks, luckily, in spawning like that.
Starting point is 01:12:03 But I was in grade four, I was playing with a soccer ball. Yes. My shoelace was undone. I tripped on the shoelace over the soccer ball, lost my balance, went back, Hit my head on a concrete, like, on the corner of the bricks, and then it landed bang onto the concrete floor. I had, like, 42 stitches in my head. Blood everywhere, out cold.
Starting point is 01:12:24 See you later. Got carried through the school. Had to go to the sick bay, obviously. Your little friends must have been absolutely panicking. Well, first they laughed, because who wouldn't laugh if you tripped over a soccer ball? I know. Have we got CCTV? Can we submit it to Australia as funniest home videos?
Starting point is 01:12:36 What a moron? Forty-two stitches. Yeah, in the head. What in your, like, through your hair line? In my cranium. Is there a scar? I think there is. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:44 I've had shaved heads before, never noticed the scar. I was pretty young. That's unbelievable. I don't fully knocked out. Don't remember a single thing, but everyone said it was pretty funny. Oh, the only thing I've come close to you, but say, knocked out means you spent a moment unconscious, right? I can't cuss, like, you know what I mean. I lost control skiing one time and, like, smashed into a wall of ice.
Starting point is 01:13:02 But I don't think I was actually knocked out. My nose hurt. You were a bit dazzled. I was a bit, I think I saw the Tweety birds. Yeah, yeah. But not knocked out. I feel like I haven't lived. Oh, we'll get you knocked out.
Starting point is 01:13:14 We go to Lucy on 131060. Lucy, did you knock yourself out? I did, yes. What happened, Lucy? We were at Mona in Tasmania, the Art Museum. Oh, yes. We just looked down the hallway of vulvers, and in this little room, it has like a really short doorway.
Starting point is 01:13:38 So we had to duck under this wall, and when we go in, you look up, and there's a distorting mirror. So we looked up, and I just saw this really freaky version of myself, but it felt like something was falling on me. So I screamed and turned to run, but she got that the doorway was not my size, so I smacked into the top of the doorway. So you've knocked yourself out in the hallway of Olvers.
Starting point is 01:14:02 I mean, that is a nightmare. What a place to go down. In the hallway of Volvers, Lucy is down. It would have looked like she was overwhelmed by the Volvers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was, oh, well, this is a good place to go down. Oh, no, we'll stay in this Volvo hallway for longer, honey. They're all different and they're all beautiful.
Starting point is 01:14:26 Lucy, how embarrassing. In the hallway of Volvers, I'll take that. 13, 10, 60, did you knock yourself out? Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. Did you knock yourself out? That's right. The world of NASCAR.
Starting point is 01:14:40 Is it our favorite sport? collectively as this team? I think so. Oh, what? You love cars. Yeah, I thought you'd be on board with me, generalising. NASCAR races are, they're different. They're just so... Yeah, yeah. But it's just so redneck and funny.
Starting point is 01:14:53 It is, it is. And out of the world of NASCAR comes this crazy story of a 19-year-old knocking himself out. Conno Zillich, superstar of the sport, just won his seventh title for the 2025 and Xfinity Series season. And then he gets out of the car to celebrate with everyone. He gets his body out, his legs are in there. Then he trips, like, I don't know, on the side of the car door. just falls head first and lands head first onto the concrete on the track.
Starting point is 01:15:16 It's confusing. Seven-time champion. It's not his first time celebrating in this way. And yet for some reason, he falls out, knocks himself out. Out cold. Can't celebrate. His seventh win. Can't crack the champagne on stage.
Starting point is 01:15:28 Hence the question, have you knocked yourself out? Poppy, hello. Hi. Have you knocked yourself out, Dahl? Yes, I have. What'd you do, Poppy? I'm very, very clumsy. So I was on my phone.
Starting point is 01:15:42 and my face was very deep into my phone I was walking backwards into the kitchen and didn't realize the dishwasher was open and I tripped backwards over the dishwasher and hit my head extremely hard on the cupboard door. Oh my God. That would hurt. Were you home alone, Poppy?
Starting point is 01:16:01 No, mum was there telling me to get off my phone. Why were you walking backwards? Like, why not walk forwards while being on the phone? That's a great question. I was getting around the fridge door. It's like a very small kitchen. Can you not walk forwards around your fridge door? I don't know the layout of your kitchen.
Starting point is 01:16:25 Maybe not. Yeah. She knows. If that is not one of the most, I would love to talk to Poppy's mom. She must have felt so vindicated in that moment. You're obviously concerned your child's knock themselves out. But also, get off your damn phone. Your mom's open every door, like every cupboard, fridge, dishwasher,
Starting point is 01:16:41 just as an obstacle course? I wonder if poppies learnt from that. Probably not. Probably not. Haley, good morning. Good morning. You've knocked yourself out. I haven't asked myself out.
Starting point is 01:16:51 The dryer knocked me out. All right. Blame where blame is due. What happened? I was getting, my dryer was wall mounted. And I obviously was getting closed out of the dryer. And I went to pull the door opened and the bloody dryer fell down and hit me in the face.
Starting point is 01:17:12 What a minute, the whole thing's come off the wall. Yes, the whole thing fell off the wall and he's me trying to doggle whether I catch it or just run or what the hell I do. Sorry, what did you rip a dryer off the wall? She was angry. It was a day. She clearly, also considering catching a dryer, what? Did it hit you in the head, Haley?
Starting point is 01:17:30 Did it hit you in the head then you went down and it squashed you as well? I don't know. I blacked out. It hit me in the head and then I, yeah, I don't know what happened really. Were you home alone? I was home with my little kids at the time. I can't imagine they could do much. Oh, no, no.
Starting point is 01:17:50 I remember, like, coming through, and I was like, Ella, can you get my phone for me? I need to ring Dad. So I rang Dad. I rang my husband and said, the dryer just fell off the wall and hit me in the head. And he was like, oh, well, what do you want me to do about it? On the middle of a meeting, are you good? Are you good? You clearly can talk.
Starting point is 01:18:09 I can't believe you've recognized. to dryer off the wall. Knock yourself out. Also, that's one dishwasher and one dryer. That's the cause. I'd be wary of our appliances team. Corinne on 13, 1060. You knocked yourself out back when you're in school.
Starting point is 01:18:23 I did, guys. So I went to a Catholic school growing up, and we used to have to go to regular masses at a cathedral. So I did that one day. After all of the kneeling, the standing, the kneeling in a hot cathedral, I passed out, I think, just from being hot. moving around and on my way down
Starting point is 01:18:43 I have cracked my head on the pew and, yeah, I was out cold and had to get dragged out of the pew into the aisle and got sent home so got out of mass, which was great. It was a fuck! Corrine, be honest. How much of a naughty girl had you been before this mass?
Starting point is 01:18:58 Yeah, was that the big man? Strike him down on you. Strike her down. I know, right? Well, I've never thought of it that way, but yeah, that's what happened. There's no other way to think about it. I think you were being the most... That would have been the most exciting thing being your classmate, though. Someone got knocked. That would have been the talk of the school. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:19:14 She was overcome by the Holy Spirit. Did you knock yourself out? That's right. We're in the NASCAR world, one of our favorites. Boogity, boogity, boogity. Not so much for Connor Zilch. Conno Zilch, the 19-year-old up and coming seven-time NASCAR winner. He's the next big thing.
Starting point is 01:19:29 He gets out of his car to celebrate with his team, trips on his own ankle within the car, and then falls out sideways, lands on the track and knocks himself out. The commentators are like, look at him. Look at him. Oh, hang on. Oh, he looks like he's in a bit of strife there. He is down. Could not celebrate the win.
Starting point is 01:19:44 No. But it begs the question, have you done something similar? Have you knocked yourself out? Because getting knocked out's never a fun, a pleasant experience, particularly not talking about sport and stuff, but the funny, harmless ways it can happen. And I think that's the key. You didn't get knocked out by someone else. No.
Starting point is 01:19:58 You knocked yourself out. You did it yourself. It was your own clumsy feet. Fiona, what have you done? Not as cool as NASCAR, but when I was about six years old, I was hanging outside down on the monkey bars at school. And back in those days, playground equipment was on concrete.
Starting point is 01:20:12 Yes. What's the idea was that, hey? I know. Pass anything. Yeah, but no, what do we always say? The Worcification of the nation.
Starting point is 01:20:18 Now we've got that spongy stuff, tan bar. Fiona's in concrete. Yeah. So needless to say, I was swinging back and forth, trying to get some momentum to grab back onto the bar again.
Starting point is 01:20:29 Didn't quite get there. Legs slipped off. Down, I crashed onto my head, knocked myself out for about 10 seconds, woke up to a bunch of kids screaming and the teacher running towards me. Jesus. Now,
Starting point is 01:20:39 Fiona, Ducco shared something similar happened in his youth. He needed 42 stitches. What were your injuries like? Oh, no, mate. I'm tougher than that. I don't have a big egg in my head. I don't doubt it.
Starting point is 01:20:50 I don't doubt it. Had a bump and I moved on. I quit schools. Had a cigarette not moved on. Yeah, Fiona ripped a durry and she was good. Put me back on the monkey bars, baby. I've got to practice my trapeas. Next.
Starting point is 01:21:02 Did she have Winnie Reds? Oh, Emily. Emily, do you knock yourself out? I did two weeks in a row Oh no Emily Because they say with a head knock When you get one You're more susceptible
Starting point is 01:21:14 Particularly in those first couple of weeks To another one Really? Yeah yeah Well the first one My best friend decided to kick the ball Straight at my head On the soccer field
Starting point is 01:21:21 And that's upsetting That's a weak jaw So I turned a Wi-Fi off as punishment What happened the following week Another soccer ball to the head Following week Soccer ball to the head Wait, sorry, it cut out their end.
Starting point is 01:21:38 Sorry, second week what happened? It wasn't a soccer ball or someone else's head, so we head clash in the game. Which seven weeks later, I still have a lump on my eye socket from it. I got a full black eye. Oh, so this was recent. Yes, seven weeks ago was the second one, and the other one was eight weeks ago. Emily, I think that's enough soccer for you. That's what my mum keeps saying.
Starting point is 01:21:57 I'm too old now. I'm with your mum on that. I think that's a universe going, go learn chess. Yeah, play something easier. Chantelle, you knocked yourself. out. Yeah, so after the birth of my last baby, I slipped in the shower and knocked myself out, and the midwife one hit the panic button.
Starting point is 01:22:17 And when I came to, I was naked on the ground with about 10 or 15 nurses and doctors just standing hovering over the top of me. I mean, if you are going to knock yourself out, what a great place to do it, in the hospital. Yeah, but still, that's, oh, no. So what happened? You'd given birth, they'd had the baby. Where was the baby? Um, in the little crib.
Starting point is 01:22:36 Yeah, right. Was it like, you know, the first shower you'd had? Yeah. So you were still a bit oozy and, yeah. Oh. Yeah, maybe a bit too much gas through the labour or something. Yes. You would have been so sore the next day, head and body.
Starting point is 01:22:52 Yep. Shantel's still recovering. She's traumatized. Oh, thank you for sharing Shantel. Let's wrap up with Ash. You want to dobb in your auntie? I too. It was a very long time ago, I was about 10, but my little sister locked herself in an outside toilet.
Starting point is 01:23:08 And it wasn't one of those flimsy lemurnex doors. It was a full-on solid door. And my very unsporty, very tall and lengthy auntie decided she was so worried she would try and ninja kick the door in it. So she did a run up, tried to kick in this solid door that was clearly very much locked, flat on her back, knocked herself out. Was she like a cop or something? She's like, I'm going to bust this in the movies. I've watched the rookie.
Starting point is 01:23:38 I'm going to kick the story. There's no rookie at that stage. Did not get anywhere in getting my sister out of the toilet. No. If anything, now you've got more of me. She's knocked out. Your sister's in the toilet. She's panic.
Starting point is 01:23:49 You've got a triage. Who's actually more in trouble here? What's your auntie's name, Ash? Joanne. Auntie Joanne. What were you thinking? Oh, knocking herself out. How did your sister end up getting out of the toilet, Ash?
Starting point is 01:24:03 I think my dad had to come and take the hinges off the door. I was going to say, please tell him your dad came in and tried to kick the toilet out. Jess and Ducko. 9.04. Good to be back. The team, as we do after professional development, we're a bit late. That's not as bad as I thought. Not when we played 8am alpha box at 8.20. Yeah. That's pretty good. We've made up some time. We've really come back around, haven't we?
Starting point is 01:24:26 A wonderful, wonderful return from professional. Professional development, excellent. A good stretch of the legs. Absolutely. And I feel like we're going to have another mini reset when old mate over here takes a day in Lou tomorrow to move you out. You're not a day in Lou. You're taking a day off tomorrow because you can't possibly get the movers to come at any other time.
Starting point is 01:24:45 And he's refusing to give me the name and number of the company so I can call and ask, you can't do it at 930, which smells a bit fishy to me, Ducco? Can't you tell the movers I just have commitments until 9? We'd let you leave at 830. Don't you know who I am? Yeah. They gave me the time. I didn't tell them.
Starting point is 01:25:00 But you can go like, I can't do any time before 9 o'clock. Oh, yeah. See, he wants the day off. Poor Babs is going to be in here now. Babs, you're stepping up again tomorrow. Great. Thanks, Shagga. Hey, it's good for your development.
Starting point is 01:25:14 There's got to be something in the worst excuse, a colleague, Gabe. I know. I'm perplexed that after a three-week holiday, day two, and he just pulled the plug. I can't believe the boss has green listen. No, neither. It feels fishy to me. I can only move. at 7 a.m.
Starting point is 01:25:31 From 7 a.m. 13, 1060, are you a removalist? Can you do it after 7 a.m? Or if you are removalist and someone said, hey, I can't do it any time before 9, would you accept it? Yes. You know?
Starting point is 01:25:44 You're telling me they've got back to back to back. Can't switch a roo, one of them. Yeah, we should have done. We should have done the show on the road with shy guy while he's moving. You've got a four-wheel drive. I've got a four-wheel drive. We've got space. I've got to move your bed.
Starting point is 01:25:58 Like I said, I offered to help him move. Off up. Very nice of you. But no. And it's all good. Still, I just want to hang out on the outside of work out. I thought about that. I thought about offering.
Starting point is 01:26:06 And what's the point? It's going to fall on deaf ears. But you actually tried. Yeah, I was happy to come over and help. Lift a few boxes. I also just wanted to see his stuff. I just want to see what he owns. Still waiting for the invitation.
Starting point is 01:26:18 Yeah. You'll get one. A lunch, a dinner. You'll get one. Yeah. Anything. Because, you know, we were going to watch Happy Gilmore, too. But I watched it.
Starting point is 01:26:25 Yeah. Is it any good? It's very ridiculous. Love it. Like, I thought the first half was actually a really good, like, he was doing a really good job. And then it just goes, like, so ridiculous. Someone DM'd us and said, surely Ducko with the release of Happy Gilmore, too. Your next golfing challenge will be to learn how to do the Happy Gilmore.
Starting point is 01:26:44 Yeah, it's hard. The big swing. The big swing's hard to do. Fair enough. Really hard to do. It was still fun, no nostalgia. Lots of cameos. I watched a TikTok the other day about the 45 cano.
Starting point is 01:26:53 So many cameos. But no, it was good. I'd like to watch it. Maybe we could. Would you watch it again? If Shy Guy invites us around for some homemade burgers and happy-gill-old. If we're going to show-goy's house and wearing our PJs, can we all have a sleepover? Yes.
Starting point is 01:27:06 That'd be fine. Sleep-over. Was it you who hadn't watched the Harry Potter's? Or the Lord of the Rings? I haven't watched Lord of the Rings. They've only watched the first two Harry Potter. I stopped at the big funnel web. Because you don't like spiders?
Starting point is 01:27:18 No, this is where I stopped. Arago! That's just where I stopped. The big spider. He watched the big snake, obviously. The number two. The shy lord watched the snake. He's like, is that me?
Starting point is 01:27:29 Exactly. Yeah, yeah. We gravitate to the things we know. Show you guys, is that my basilisk? When we're in Italy, Angus kept calling the big churches, the basiliskers. And I was like, it's Basilica. You have got Harry Potter on the brain. He's like, look, another basiliska.
Starting point is 01:27:46 You know what Morgan was doing? So in New Zealand there's the Milford Sound. What a beautiful play. Morgan was calling it the Milford and Sounds, like Mumford and Sons. She's like, we go into the Milford and Sounds? I was like, what are you saying? Between the Milford and sounds and the Basiliskers, I mean, we need to educate our partners a bit more.
Starting point is 01:28:03 Good times. Well, we're out of here. Thanks for joining us. You missed any of the show. Grab it on the podcast. Always extraded content there as well. On listed, I'll ever get your podcast. Back tomorrow with Alphabucks.
Starting point is 01:28:12 It's Tuesday, which means... Year of the song. But is it? Because Chavez will host it. I thought we had a question mark over Year of the Song, you are. I told me I didn't have to. I thought Year of the song was staying, and it was... Now, where to go, you're staying?
Starting point is 01:28:24 Oh, we're brushing year of the song. Oh, okay. You want to take a snap poll. on the text line, 048-8-18-1069. You know the song. Bin or... Keep it. Keep it.
Starting point is 01:28:34 Yeah, Spilling or Bin it. Oh, actually, that's a good one. One of them has to go. Wordyoki or Year of the song. Maybe put up on a poll. All right, we'll do that. Make sure you're following us, Jess and Ducko on Instagram. We'll put a poll.
Starting point is 01:28:45 Text in, though. 04-8-1-60. I'll have your say on that. Please do. I think I'd prefer... I like that. I prefer a year of the song to go. Wediokieke is fun.
Starting point is 01:28:55 Now, let's live it to the people. Are we still doing Quotey McQueen, quote, quote? I was hoping to. Yeah, we'll play that. We quote movies and Jess has to guess the movie because she can do it. Yes. I'm very excited with that game. Maybe that'll replace it.
Starting point is 01:29:08 I don't know. We'll see it. We're going to look at the calendar. Well, yeah, well, you can't because you're busy. No, no, exactly. You'll be busy packing up off. Oh, full scene today and off tomorrow. Okay, well, I'll be on anyway.
