Macca's new Tennessee BBQ range now touring for a limited time. Jess and Dago! This is the Jess and Dago podcast. Welcome to the podcast everybody. Hello! Big show. Friday's live lineup was released. Was dropped.

Fun fact, we still haven't worked out if the Today Show broke in Bargo. Because we were told we have to wait till 6. They were talking about it at 5.45. I'll do some digging with my sources. Yeah, please do. Very funny. I do know that it ruffled some feathers. Oh, that's what I need to work out.

I just know feathers were rustled. I don't know who the rustler was, but who told you the feathers were? Had been rustled. Uh, ruffled or rustled? It's ruffled. Ruffled. You're absolutely right. I was just saying what I said.

I mean, I guess interchangeable, but who said my feathers are ruffled? Nicholas Kelly. Of course What did he say? Give us the wording Fuck every time Something fucks up Went on a rant and then yeah, anyway lots of guys Mariah Carey, Pitbull, Winslow, John blah blah blah. We've named it all however Um, and then yeah, anyway, lots of people, we named it all. However, you've got the writers for these artists show guys. Yeah.

Well, I've got Mariah Carey. It's the other ones are pretty normal and we like how divaish Mariah is. And it's no secret to her success that she can do this. Right. What a great caveat. Well done to you. Is it a compliment? Compliment sandwich.

But yes, it is known. I'm pretty sure people at hotels have like come out as insiders going, yeah, I had to put together her hotel room. Yeah. I think there was one about she only wanted white tiles. So they had to fully refit. What? I'll get to it.

Hang on. Oh crap, was that true? So I've got a bunch of sources, the Telegraph, the Guardian, City Morning Herald, American Express. Anyway, we'll go, we'll start from the top and just go down. So the essentials. Um, where do I start? Express. Anyway, we'll start from the top and just go down. So the essentials. Where do I start? Her dressing room must be adorned with vanilla scented candles.

I love that. The room temperature has to be at 24 degrees or 75 Fahrenheit. Way too hot, Mariah. Whoa. Yeah, it's all warm room. Lighting preferences. Soft lighting is a must with lamps or clip lights provided to avoid harsh illumination. What the fuck? That is so wrong. I really like how diva she is.

There was a Christmas event that she did in London and she requested 20 white kittens and a hundred white doves to enhance the festive spirit. Wait, was that for her set or just in her room? It was in the room. It was in the room. It was in the room. That's a lot of bird poop. That is serious. Hey, perhaps maybe we can, when, when the tour comes, we can give you this job.

There was an assistant assigned to the sole task of disposing of her used chewing gum. Um, I would think not. What? So where would she, she wouldn't just put it in the bin herself. She'd like give it to an assistant, put her hand out. Is she worried that someone is pinching it and going to sell it on eBay or something? Like she's not a big enough name to require all of these things. Yeah.

If Mariah was to bring her dog. One Christmas song. Yeah. If Mariah brought her dogs to Australia for Fridays Live, the dogs need to be provided with bottled vitamin water. Come on. I love my dog, too. Absolutely Mariah herself likes room temp water with lemons and honey to soothe the voice her favorite snack on tour on the rider is fried chicken

Interesting. Okay, I didn't expect that one. I wonder if she gets the chefs at the hotels to make it or she's happy with her You know a KFC bucket Surely a KFC beer. I mean it's sponsored by Macca's but anyway. Oh my apologies. They don't do fried chicken bar. It is podcasting. So let's talk about the room itself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the room that she is in, it can't look like a typical dressing room.

It must be set up like a living room. Oh, that's so good. To resemble a cosy lifestyle. So she's just going to be all snug in her own environment. Yeah. Now there can't be any harsh patterns on the wall and there must be solid colours like black, dark grey or cream on the wall. Yes, yes.

Who's job will it be within our company to do all of this stuff? That's a great question. Because you know they'll just find a few street teams and be like, hey guys, fuck, you put candles everywhere, you gotta do all this. Hey, you've gotta retile the hotel room. They would too. Wow. Yeah, that's all the major ones anyway. They would too. Wow. That's all the major ones anyway.

Was there anything about a milk bath? I swear I'm... Or was that J.Lo? One of the divas. You do love your J.Lo. I do. Maybe I'm getting my divas mixed up. Milk bath Mariah Carey. Yeah. I mean she's been around that long.

Mariah Carey says she bathes in milk as a beauty treatment. There you go. Well, not requested. Not yet anyway. Not yet. Let's wait and see. Let's wait and see what she requests when she's here. Absolutely. Cause that'll be the interesting one.

Do you know, I used to work at the Grand Hyatt in Melbourne and Katy Perry actually was, funnily, was thinking about Katy Perry a little bit. She stayed at our hotel once and she had an assistant call up and said, Ms. Perry would like a brownie, but we can't see any on your room service menu. Are you able to do anything? And our instructions was if anyone calls from the penthouse, you execute, call the manager and get it done. So I called the manager and she said, yep, we're on it. And so the chef went and made a batch of brownies just so they could present one to Katy Perry. She was like, I don't like it. Speaking of brownies, Morgan actually made you a brownies

and wanted me to bring them in today, but I forgot. Okay, okay. I said you guys wouldn't want them. I do. Oh, I don't mind a brownie. Oh, I just didn't take you guys for brownie people. So wild. Yeah.

I made raspberry muffins yesterday, and they're that good. I went, should I bring them in? But after you guys poo-pooed my moon gear, I went, I am probably misreading my friends, they won't like my stuff. I would have liked a raspberry brownie. What other chances you- Well she made brownies for us and she's like, I'm eating too many of these, take them into the guys.

And I was like, Babs' guts won't be able to handle it. Shaggo will hold it and not actually eat it. And Jess, I don't know, could go either way. You know what's funny, I'm not a huge chocolate person, but I actually don't mind a slice. It's a chocolate raspberry brownie. I mean, Mowaw's an amazing baker. I need, nor am I, she's better than me. Wait, what did you say?

She is. She's not. Oh, she's not. So they're okay, that tastes fine. Baking is such a precise art. It is so precise. That is so funny. She wanted me to bring them in for you.

This weather, I think, put us in a baking room. Yeah, she was bored. I tried to make healthy muffins for the toddler, and I removed the sugar from the recipe. Holy crap. She would literally spit them out and then I tried to eat on with these are disgusting. So I made a different recipe and left the sugar in.

Holy moly. Unbelievable. I'll bring your raspberry muffin. You bring me a brownie. Okay. I'll bring the brownies in tomorrow. I haven't done anything wrong. No, you can.

I should know if your guts would want the brownie. Yeah. Well, I don't care. She'll risk it. But you'd be all right with the brownies. I'll ask chocolate dairy, of course. Yeah, that's fine. would want the brownie. Yeah, well I don't care. She'll risk it. But you'd be alright with the brownie. Yeah, it'd be alright. I was chocolate dairy of course. Yeah, it's fine.

It's a bit rich. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, sure, I'll bring them in tomorrow. Yes. While we're on Riders, I just looked up Pippo's one, just for fun. Oh, okay. The others will just be standard stuff. Pippo and Mariah, they're big ones.

200 green bananas. What? So fresh. That must be for his whole crew. Who would want green? Whole crew. It must just be to last the time that he's there. He also wants a spread of fresh deli meats and cheeses, sufficient enough to serve up to 70 people. Wow! That doesn't mean 70 people are there, he just wants it to cater for that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He also wants a Nintendo 64. That's a great way to go, I'm gonna to eat that. Nintendo 64. With Super Mario 64 preloaded with 119 stars, leaving the final star for him to collect himself.

That's what it says. That can't be real. That's from Rolling Stone. That can't be real. Rolling Stone is a reputable crazy one. And he's done it that many times, he just still gets the same satisfaction. Do you love the idea that you get to this level of stardom and just start taking the pierce and go, what can I ask for and what will they do?

Some staff member is going to play this game to the point where then I can, like unbelievable. We had an artist come to the studio and do like a performance for like a dozen listeners. And it was Peking Duck. Yes. And we asked them, what do you want on your writer? And they gave us like all these really like just read M&Ms. So we did all like these things that they requested.

And then afterwards, when we talked to them after the gig, they were like, we didn't think you'd actually do that. We just want to test you. Do you know what Angus? So it's a test to see if their management is paying attention. Yeah. Angus works in pubs and clubs and some of the riders people ask him to provide or ask the venue to provide things like changes of underwear, outfits.

Cause it's like when they get off stage, they want to put a new black t-shirt on it. And he's had to go back going, bring your own fricking clothes. Like food and alcohol. We could go to David Jones and buy some Calvin Klein. Yeah, but he's like, I'm not providing underwear. No, fuck off. No, who you are.

You can bring your own undies. 100%. It's why or what people think they can get away with. Yeah. Truly, if you have that much money and you're that famous. But 700 bananas, that'd set you back. So no wonder he wants the bananas. Oh, green! It's just like good for nothing.

Yeah! So pressure for the person on the Nintendo 64 to get all those bananas. Yeah, imagine that's your job. That's another Street Teamers job we got to do for Pitbull. All right, man, come on. Or his flight's delayed and the bananas ripen. They were green if you'd landed on top. Jeez.

Wow. Anyway, hopefully one day we can to Harrods Bum. Geez. Wow. Anyway, hopefully one day we can all reach that level of success. Absolute. What would be on your rider, Darko? What's the most niche, annoying thing you can think of? Just to test your stardom. I do.

I don't know. I've never even thought about it. I have no idea what I'd do. I would just feel so wasteful as well. Yeah. I don't think I'd have it in me to go, I want this ridiculous thing. I actually only like yellow confectionery, but that just feels so wasteful. Mine would be all toilets in my hotel room meets squatty-potties.

That would be about it. That's just for health. We can get that Amazon next day. Absolutely. As long as I'm shitting we're happy. Tune in up, Tune in up. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Welcome to it team, welcome to Thursday. A hey-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-yyay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-y DJ Konski and I have dreamt up and I still don't even know who's in it, man. I was about to say, do you want to peel back the curtain?

Yeah. Because the Today Show has gone early. The Today Show leaked it at 5.45. We waited. You and I had the option to open the envelope and read it. You might have seen other shows around the network, Carrie and Tommy Namely, led by a bunch of others, all got the line up yesterday, Ducco, and did like a reveal tease. You and I opted, no, no. Well, wait.

We want to find out with the rice cookers. Massive from us as well, because you're, patiently, you hate not knowing a secret. Thank you so much for giving me that kudos. I will Google the ends of movies, flip to the ends of books. For Fridays Live though, I took it seriously. Yes. Carl and Sarah. They leaked it. God damn you, Today Show. I'm going to talk to them because you know I work for them. I'm doing them in a couple of weeks.

I want to add some words. We've got a pipeline to the Today Show in the Duck Man. Please. You leaked it. What's the punishment for breaking embargo? Media punishment? I actually don't know if they broke embargo or not. I'm not sure.

Oh, that's a great question. Maybe we leaked it to them. We wanted it to be leaked. Maybe we wanted it to be leaked. Without further ado, this is exciting. This is our Friday's live announcement. It's happening later on this year. Okay. This is in Sydney.

We, I mean, we've seen some of the artists, thanks to the pay show, but not all of the artists. You are correct there. You are correct. Not all of them. We've got it on mute. So maybe they said to the others, but we didn't hear that. We only read a couple.

And from what I've read, I've got the Fanny Flutters hard. Oh yeah, I've got full lead in the pencil. You've got full lead. Shy Guy can't stand up for obvious reasons. Babs is sliding off her chair.

Oh, that's how you get all those people in the same room. It has returned to Sydney's NG Stadium, satellite October 18. We have your first double pass on the show. You are just listening out for this Pitbull song. That's right we picked our favourite pitbull. Oh yeah. We've scattered it somewhere before 9 a.m. When you hear it you get the first double pass. How good is that? Mariah Carey. This is unbelievable. Do you know how much it would cost to see Mariah do a solo concert? And now you get tickets to see her plus six of her mates. I can't believe Mariah's on that.

That's amazing. We're going to be playing all the artists all throughout the show today, but that is the pitbull song. Give me everything you're listening out for. You get your first double pass in town. It's fantastic. It's all thanks to Maccas. Tickets on sale midday, Monday, June 2nd at Fridays.live. Yes, make sure you're following the Instagram, Fridays Live. Keep you up to date, but of course, keep it locked. Keep it locked right here. With Jess and Ducco.

That's exciting. Wow, I just feel fantastic. Yeah, that's, I mean, that's a, cause I was worried I was gonna disappoint, man. Cause of the lineups that we've had in the past. We've had massive, you had TLCs, you're ushers, as I said, you're Craig, David, you're Nellies. Where to go to, as I said, your Craig, David, your Nellies. Where to go to from here?

Oh, Mariah Carey, people, Lil Jon. Lil Jon, don't forget Tiny Tempah, Labyrinth come in. Shaggy, you must be pumped. Yeah, I do like Labyrinth. I, yes. I'm most excited for him to be here. Really? Babs, are you pumped?

I actually think it is a really good lineup. It's a great lineup. Famously, we've struggled to get these two out and about, Dukkoh. Yeah, maybe this could be it. Team Tripp. Team Tripp to Angie Stadium. You wanna do that?

I'll do that. So I'm gonna duck out when that Pippo song comes on and ring. Yeah, you call 13 to 60. I'll call 13 to 60, and then you call the next day, Shia. Jess and Dukkoh. Jess and Dukkoh.

If you just missed it, and you just started tuning in going, what are they playing? We announced the lineup and it's unreal. That's right. Seven global superstars. And I just, I'm concerned the word superstar doesn't hold the gravity we actually need for this lineup, Ducco. We're talking Mariah Carey.

Is there a bigger name in R&B? All I want for Christmas is you. I mean, that's to be honest, that's why I got a similar name. Fantasy baby, I know we can look beyond Glitter, the movie. Let's look at her back catalogue of tunes. Yeah. Hundreds of songs, banger after banger. She's been around for decades and now she's coming down under for Friday's Live.

And Mr Worldwide Pitbull. Mr Real Fav. Wiz Khalifa. It's been a long day till I see you again. Come on. How, Valet, Paul Walker. Paul Walker, Lil Jon. I mean, Lil Jon has banger after banger. Hey, Ducco, from the window to the wall, what do you say? Oh, sweat runs down shower guys.

One of the great club tracks. Oh man. Nothing makes me want to bump and grind. Yeah. Like Lil Jon. Like that song, yeah. Then we've got Eve or EVE. Eve. Absolute megastar. Great songs. Tiny Temp one of my favorites, Labyrinth come in. And Jordan Sparks,

How am I meant to breathe with no air? I'll tell you Jordan, you go to NG Stadium on Saturday, October 18. Because the vibe will be that high if you ever breathe again. The text line's popping off. I'll work on my Jordan Sparks. You've got a couple songs. Tadoo, One Step At A Time, Battlefield. I've got two Tadoo's, Jordan Sparks. You've got a couple songs. You've got Tattoo, One Step At A Time, Battlefield. I've got two Tattoos, Jordan Sparks, we could be best friends. Sophia, Melissa, there's a few people on the text line, all texting in. I'm crying, I'm screaming, my brain is blown, I need tickets. What the actual F?

Someone said, no, Wiz, did you actually pull off some God's work? Yes. Yes we did. Now you want tickets? Well, you are listening out for our favourite song. From Mr 305. It's Wawa! Give Me Everything. We're going to play it sometime before 9. Yeah. Stick with us. Could happen now. No, that's a trick. That's us giving the example.

Could happen now. Nah, nah, he wasn't even drunk, mate. It'll happen sometime before 9 though, and we'll have a double pass. The first. The first ever. Double pass. I don't know if the other shows actually got given tickets to give away. This might just be a lesson.

We're the darlings of the internet. 100%. If the hit music Instagram is to be believed, we're the only one collaborating. We're also the only ones who didn't do a reveal video. Yeah, because we wanted to find out in real time. It's not our fault. Carl got the email and put it on the show. It's actually been quite a tough morning for me.

We found that out. We found Babs bought a car from the place I drive a car and she didn't let me help her. So, you know, my daughter, I just feel like my daughter didn't ask for my help. And I feel like, oh my God, that's exactly what it is. To be honest, I feel betrayed for you. Yeah. What's the point? Babs got a brand new car, which is fantastic.

It looks great. I could have actually helped her. No, but firstly, can we strip that back? I'm not thrilled. We didn't get to say goodbye to the Beetle. Oh, actually Babs, yeah. I didn't get one trip in the Beetle. Yeah.

Well, I'll have it on Monday because I got to take my car back to get some things done to it. Can you just give me five minutes alone with her? Yeah, sure. With the exhaust? Yeah, me and Sean. No, don't, don't write me in that. You and the Beetle can do it solo. But we just didn't need to, that, me and Sean. Don't write me in that.

You and the Beetle can do it solo. I feel like the Beetle has been a character on the show. Can we do a team drive in the Beetle? Sure. One more team drive in the Beetle. How about Windows Down, see you again please. Oh, it's been a long day. It's been a long day. Then we can all go back to my house and watch Fast and the Furious 8. That's pushing the Frenchie. 8. What's my favourite one? I'll watch Charlize Theron. So far. Anyway.

Hell of a lineup. Hell of a lineup. We should go together guys. What are we listening out for? We are listening out for Pitbull, Give Me Everything. When you hear this song... Give Us Cool. That's when you win your first double pass. Babs, are you ready for that? I don't know, I guess. You're going to be inundated.

Inundated. Swamped. And we still got Alphabikes coming up as well in 15 minutes. Oh my God. It's all happening. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. It's official. Yes. Ham sucks.

It was just nice, wet ham. Not ham. This is from me mates. Not ham! This is from me mates. My mates at delicious.com, Ducco, breaking this story. You've never liked ham but you like prosciutto, make it make sense. Right. Ham is too pink.

But it's official. Ham sucks, according to me mates at delicious.com. This is specifically for South Australia, but they've banned. Oh, yeah all advertising for him They put it in the same category duck oh you like ham don't you love a Christmas ham? Yeah, of course You take a Christmas ham Granted never tried it. Do you like it? Is don't like something until you try it? I can't I'm 34 I know what I'm about. Yeah, I like Shaved ham. Yeah, I can I'm trying to put it in a sandwich. Correct can't, I'm 34. I know what I'm about. Yeah, I like champagne ham, shaved ham.

Yeah, I like ham. I'm trying to eat- And you'll put it in a sandwich. Correct, yep. I'm trying, I had it yesterday in a bread roll. I'm trying to eat less of it. Okay. Because it is bad for you.

Babe, you and the health minister, Chris Picton from South Australia, you're on the same wavelength. He has put ham, and yes, other cured meats, but ham is the headline, because obviously- And prosciutto. Well, he doesn't name yes, other cured meats, but ham is the headline. And prosciutto. Well, he doesn't name any of the Italian meats, he just says other cured meats, which is very rude.

But ham, obviously, big hitter in the Australian diet. Huge. He has put it in the same category as chocolate, lollies, confectionary, desserts, ice creams, soft drinks and chips, saying you can no longer advertise with images of those things, ham included. So you can't have a nice, some other people who are against the ban are saying what about a nice ham and salad roll? I can't put that on my billboard for hey this is available at my cafe and Chris says no,

this is a sensible step to a healthier South Australia. So even in like a random cafe, this isn't just Woolies and Coles and stuff. Well, this is the national advertisers board. So I'm assuming any public advertisement. So if that's an A-frame in front of your cafe, maybe, maybe you'll get flagged, but more so bus stops or on the sides of buses, trams, billboards. You are not allowed to put ham around town. Imagine the ham marketing team in Australia just going to nightmare.

Well, this is the thing now they've really got to focus on their social media game, I guess, because I don't know how he's going to police the internet. You can't police the internet. No. Because that's everyone's. Ham will still be advertised. Is it just outdoor advertising? It must just be outdoor advertising.

Adelaide, oh here we go, buses, trains, trams. But processed meats like ham, I'm so sorry. So I feel like prosciutto is going to fall into this as well. Yeah, someone has said, so now I can't put my charcuterie board. The Tasting Australia event, which I'm not sure what it is, can no longer show images of charcuterie boards or pastries even, because yes, of course, the butter and sugar content. If you're really hungry though and you go to like a bakery or a store and you get a ham roll and it's got like tomato, cheese, lettuce, ham or ham sandwich, it is delicious.

I don't, I don't, why? Or a toasted ham toastie, mmm. Oh so you know my issue with that when I watch someone eat it like a ham, cheese, tomato. Firstly when they're pre-made at bakeries or cafes, I got really upset because I'm happy to say, could you remove the ham for me? I don't want to touch it and pull it out. It's sort of not a ham, cheese, tomato toast. No, I want cheese and tomato, but they're already made.

So I'm like, can you pull that out? Watching them just like, it's like just a slice of flesh. Pull that out. The prosciutto looks fleshy. No, I see. I disagree because it's long. Whereas ham is such- It's got bits of white in it and stuff.

It almost looks like flesh. But the darker, reddy pink, whereas ham- Would look more like flesh. Ah, ham. Sa pink. And why does it come in those big, round- We get you don't like ham. I don't get it.

We get you don't like it. You know, when people take- Because you've never tried it. When people take a bite out of their ham cheese tomato, but the ham just comes with it all, with that one bite. You're really nailing down on specifics here. That's what grosses me out. But like prosciutto for me smells like feet and looks more like if you peel someone's

skin back. This is coming from someone who doesn't wash. You should wash more if your feet smell like that. But you know, prosciutto has a smell to it. It's like Parmesan cheese or something. Like prosciutto has a smell to it. I like prosciutto, don't get me wrong. But what wigs me out more when I taste, I get more weeded out from prosciutto has a smell to it. It's like Parmesan cheese or something. Like prosciutto has a smell to it. I like prosciutto, don't get me wrong. But what wigs me out more when I taste,

I get more weed out from prosciutto than I do. Like I can go to prosciutto more than I can to ham. Isn't that funny? Yeah, like, and I can eat good prosciutto, but I can't eat lots of it. Yeah, okay, so I could eat my body weight, but I too am trying to cut down because all the research is anything processed.

Stop saying that, Alzheimer's and that. That's what got me. Yeah, yeah, stop saying it. It's fairly bad. So maybe the sensible step to a healthier South Australia, we could all take a leaf out of that bush. Where do you stand on ham, Shy Lord? Oh, you would be a massive ham fan.

You reek of ham. It's not a ham and tomato, ham, cheese, tomato, that's about it. Yeah. But would you have a Christmas ham? Nah. You don't bring the ham bag over and have the Christmas ham? Nah. You don't bring the ham bag over and have the Christmas ham?

Nah. What's the ham bag? You know, you put ham in, that's the Christmas bag, it's the ham bag. That's how you cook it. Yeah, no, you store it in there. You know, like the ham bags? No.

My family did not have ham at Christmas. It's like, yeah, it's sort of like a sack. Yeah, it's like, how would I, how do I explain what it would be like? It'd be like- Like Santa's sack, but for a ham. Sort of. It's, yeah, I can't believe you're talking about that.

We had lasagna at Christmas, we didn't for a ham. Sort of. We had lasagna at Christmas, we didn't have a ham. Babs, you know what I'm talking about with the ham bag? Yeah, it's like a little bag. Yeah, but it's like... Oh, is it bad? Oh, wait a minute, you sang! Bag! Bag! Bag! Hang on, the ham bag is a bag. I get it now. It's all a coffee material. And it keeps it what? Moist. Don't get me wrong, the handbag is disgusting, but put it all in the fridge. Where do you keep the handbag when it's not being used for a hand?

I don't know, Mum just always whips it out when it's Christmas time. She's got a special draw for that. Ha ha ha. Tick it up, tick it up, time it up. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Jess and Ducko's 10K Alpha Bugs on Hit.

Alpha Bugs. 30 seconds, 10 questions, all started with the same letter. Have to take your first answer. Can't use the same answer twice. And if you're unsure of the question, say pass. We come back to you if there's time. We're playing for $10,000. Our player today is Taneya.

What would you spend the money on Taneya when you're successful? I wanna take my girls to somewhere with Disneyland, whether it's Japan, the US, but we need to go to Disneyland. Okay, now I've been to the Japanese Disneyland. Yeah is that a good one? And I've been to Anaheim in America

the OG. I think the OG is better. Oh okay. In California. I mean further to get to. Probably need more than 10 grand for that then. Yeah you would. Japan's cheaper and closer. Is there one in Hong Kong? Yeah. I think I've been to that one. And Japan also have Disney Sea as well. There's a few branches off it that are a bit more adult. Alright, alright. Let's get you the 10 grand you can start researching today. What do you say?

Definitely, let's go. The letter you're going to work with today is L. I'm trying to think of Lilo and Stitch. Oh yeah. What about Lord Farquaad? Oh excellent. Thanks so much. Very good.

I don't think he's Disney. I don't think he's Dreamworks. Yeah Pixar. Don't get me confused. Oh Tonea knows what's going on. Alright you're ready to go. Okay are you ready Tonea? Yes.

Your time will start after the first question. Starting with the letter L. We need you to name a fabric. Linen. Something fast. Nebuchadnezzar. A TV show. Lilo and Stitch. A cold drink.

A car brand. Ah, damn it! The Lamborghini was set for something fast. I know. Hey, is Lilo & Stitch a TV show as well, or is it just a movie? It was on Disney Channel. That's an awesome idea. Lilo and Stitch a TV show as well as just a movie? It was on Disney Channel. That's an idea. Lilo and Stitch TV series.

Of course. I want to put it out there. I never try and give clues. I didn't think it was a TV show. Good job, Tanaia. That means you got yourself six. An app could have been linked in, an adverb, anything ly, largely, luckily, lovingly. A car brand you'd said you knew what you you did there but could have also said Lexus. Can I give you a bonus point? What a car gal.

For Looper. Well done. Looper's great. Yeah. And Leonardo DiCaprio, good answer. Look, you don't go away empty handed tonight. $100 is spent at Freshwater Farm. That is all yours.

Will play give me everything yeah, you call them will give you a double pass Good morning Adzi. Good morning. Hey bro, get on mic. Yeah, jump on the mic. Come on, you want to speak? Good morning. Yes, there he is.

Good morning everyone. We were just running through that line up, Adam. And which artist caught your attention? Yeah, he is picked up a little bit when Wiz Khalifa got announced. Yeah, you've seen him before. Seen him before. Big Wiz fan. Like a few of his songs, big Wiz fan fan. Is it the Paul Walker song? It's been a long day to see you again. That's a good song. Yeah that'll bring a couple of tears. Yeah. Yeah.

You can't have any drinks if you're in the crowd and that comes on. That's when we hands in hands. How recently have you watched Fast and Furious 3? Yeah absolutely. Fast and Furious 3, 4, 5, 6. Yep yeah yeah. Jessette ate her favourite. Yeah he'd already died by then but 80's very good. Anyway, we don't have to talk about that. How you going? You staying dry? Yeah, trying to. Yeah, the house is patched up.

I don't know if you saw, we had a pretty serious roof leak there a few weeks ago. Oh did you? Yeah, had about six roof leaks. Had some buckets catching water. So that feels like it was last year's winter but it's still the same winter. But yeah, the roof's patched up and we're all good to go now, so staying dry. Staying dry.

Staying dry, training, getting ready for the game. We're heading out to Bathurst this week, actually, so. Yes. I thought maybe we might escape the wet, going somewhere different, but it's wet and cold, actually colder out there. Yes. More chilly out there.

Do you get excited when you go there and play in places like that? Yeah, I do. I love going to any chance we get to go play in a country region. I love it. Obviously coming from the country and never really getting a taste of NRL when I was younger. We always had to travel to Sydney or to Canberra to go watch a game of footy. So I love when we get to go out there and get amongst the community and they all love

it as well. I think our team in particular, because Newcastle, we've got a lot of country boys here. Totally. We're in a country area, our boys get it too. So when we go out there everyone makes a really big effort which is great. It must be so cool to look around the crowd sometimes and catch you of the past. You know what I mean? Like the next generation potentially of NRL player or just super fan that you go that was me one time. Yeah. And now here I am living my dream. You get it at home a little bit even just at McDonald Jones, but then obviously when we travel out, yeah, it's pretty nostalgic.

Yeah. Do you ever go and turn and go like, hey, don't give up kid. I just say mate, you're going to eat your greens. Eat your greens. And then scruffle his hair. Give the mum a wink. They always love that when you tell them to eat their veggies. She's like, ah.

Yeah. Hey, straight of origin. Should we chat origin next Wednesday? I know. Yeah, me and you. Button heads. Yeah, we hate each other this time of year. Yeah. Hey, State of Origin, should we chat Origin next Wednesday? I know, yeah, me and you. Fun heads. Yeah, we hate each other this time of year. I'm obviously famously a Queenslander.

I'm unpopular in these parts. I forget, yeah, that's right. That ugly jersey gets brought out. Tears, yeah. Tears friendships apart. It does. I have a lot of it. The amount of listeners I get that message me abusive things.

Yeah. Three times a year. That's so good. I've always loved you all these years, I love you even more now And Adam where do you stand because he's corrupting his month old child No, not acceptable She is originating in New South Wales That's alright, you're a kid to be bullied all through high school, that's alright She's got a Queensland onesie which I will be putting her in

She must be going to school in Queensland She must be, she'll be boarding Oh did they pop over the border to give birth? Oh yes they must I did want to try and pop over the border just to give birth and then just pop back, but it wasn't working out. But it's an exciting time of year. Yes, it is. Yeah, it's always cool when the first Origin One team's get announced, see who's the smokies

that the chat's been about them for the last few weeks or whatever. And then one selection actually in your team that I'm excited about is the young fella from the Roosters, the Santa that Robert Toyo. He's played 10 NRL games and he's already got origin. He's one of the youngest ever. Wow. How do you reckon he'll go? Oh, I think Billy Slater has a pretty good track record at giving people confidence. I think he'll go out there feeling 10 foot tall.

That folks like John and Thurston, Greg Inglis in there, coaching staff, I think they'll be able to rub off on him in the short time they have in camp, but he's certainly exciting and like you don't get picked unless you're, you know, you've shown some aspects of being there and I think when you get there it's yeah it's sink or swim, but I feel like you'll be a swimmer. Yeah I'm excited for it be great. Now on the NRL stuff before we get into some other sports news

We stand social laugh on the Reese Walsh punching someone in the face and then filming Boys be boys and do that but for an NRL player to be filming it posting it. Yeah Good ride who to be fair. I thought it was an okay shot from him. Yeah, maybe that's what he was doing. He was sending out some messages letting everyone know. I can't throw them. No, I don't know. You sometimes forget how young Reese Walsh is. Did you ever play with him? No, I've never played with him. Played against him plenty. Yeah. I had a little bit to do with him off the field. I bumped into him here and there and he's a great fella. He's just a young kid. He's a character.

He's obviously super famous, which is really hard for him. Like he's got so many followers on Instagram and TikTok and whatnot. And he's in that era of people that are so big on social media as well. Like everything's taken its gospel that's on there. And he come out and said it was a prank with his mate and I saw that he fronted the media and it was a it was a bit of an awkward interview for him but there's a few questions that

were asked about do you regret your decisions and things like that and I could see that he was he really didn't want to say yeah I regretted it and I don't really blame him for it like he never had intention to go out there and say look go punch people and if people took that message from his video they probably need to have a bit of a think about their decisions they're making. Yeah. I think we can probably look at that and go, yeah, look, probably shouldn't have put it on social media. It's a prank or a deal, a bet that he's made between him and his mate. Yeah.

I think the next time he has one like that, he'll probably keep that in his camera roll. No filming. Or in their group chat that they have. You reckon, mate? You reckon, maybe? Well, I'd like to think so. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Could you imagine if you, because you've been there in the game for a long time, if you back in your first years had Instagram and were filming things, like could you imagine?

I did but I had about 3,000 followers, not 380 or whatever he had. Yeah true yeah yeah. It's crazy. You know he'd come in at 18 years old and he's now 21 or something or 22, you know And you forget he's still a kid. I didn't play until I was 21. So that is my debut year He's been around for four years and you know has a huge following and I think people do forget but in all in Saying that he probably forgets sometimes too and it's you know, it's not always Might not always seem fair but it comes with the territory that's right nothing he knows that and accepts it and that's why he

fronted the media yeah now lastly you're a huge nude run guy yeah well yeah it's Well, there is a history of it. You haven't worn too many clothes for a nudist day, sweet. Yeah, I hate winter. Um, yeah, it's crazy. A resort, I don't know if this shows a bit of naivety for me, but I didn't know there was actually resorts for nudists. We got invited to go sample one, we'll bring you along. We're trying to put you on a line, Dave. You try everything once, the good thing's twice. That's it.

Shaka's been multiple times. Maybe I will try ham. That's a great attitude. She's never tried ham. If you're going to try ham, yeah exactly. You may as well go to a nudist resort. She birds one stock. I'd be naked and have some champagne. But the nudist resort, they've actually added a string to their boat. So they're going on a fun run. 5k up.

Yeah. And, yeah. Are they raising money? Clothes are optional. Oh, just for fun. No, it's just for fun. No money being raised. Yeah, and yeah, are they raising money clothes are optional It's just for fun no money being raised. There's a there's a record amount of people going on 161 people yeah on a new notes a lot of nude body. Are we going for a Guinness World Record? I don't know. It's not a Guinness World Record. I think it's just there Question because you're the nudist specialist now what what do you think's harder running with boobies or running with balls like nude?

Oh, I get. You know what I mean? Oh, I think we get the rough end of the stick there. Because bouncing around in that, like a Johnson or the... Your legs, but your legs are what actually touch the ground. You know, you've got to think what's closer to the legs moving. This is coming from a member of the itty bitty titty committee, but a lady with a decent set. Oh, that's actually painful. You'd be having to hold them.

There's tearing involved, You'd have to hold them It's a whole thing. Yeah, we'll render the stick both He's probably you know being a nudist is one thing being a nudist fun. Rows Can you wear runners or you've got to go there as well cuz that's another level You're not fully new. You're not fully nude. At least a croc. Or something. Something. A croc. Hey mate thanks for coming in, good luck this weekend, always great to see you. Yeah thank you. Thanks for having me.

Jess and Ducco. 13 10 60, help us finish the sentence. Nothing scarier than dot dot dot. Had a moment yesterday, I was running with my firstborn, my dog Pam. That's right, Furbaby. Furbaby. Furbaby I was running, not Skimbaby, with Furbaby. And we're on a run, about to cross a road, look up and see a red pea platter in their parents' sports car. Okay. And nothing is scarier. I get more scared seeing a red pea platter than an L platter anyway, because you know the L's are conscious, they're with their parents. Or they're in the driver's ed vehicle where that person has the brakes themselves.

Yes. But seeing a red P-platter in mummy or daddy's sports car or a nice Audi or whatever it may be with too much, too much letting that pencil to go, nothing's scarier than that. I'd like to stay on the roads, Ducco. I have become a minimum, minimum quadruple sneezer. I don't know what that's about. I think I've entered hay fever territory in my 30s. It's weird. Feeling a sneezing fit coming on when you are driving. Maybe highway situation where it's not like I can pull over easily or there's lights coming up, you can't keep your eyes open when you're sneezing.

Yeah. And going- Tartu. Going, yeah. I think it's an old wives tale but I'm scared my eyeballs are gonna blow out of my head if I don't close my eyes. That'll definitely happen. That'll definitely happen. So yes, feeling a sneezing fit coming on behind the wheel. Behind the wheel. Terrifying.

That's what we had, we had had a scene the other night rocking the baby and you're like no she's asleep. Oh no I can't, I can't. Yes. Let's awake her. Yes, yes, yes. Staying with babies. Chantelle had a great one. A silent child being found with the tub of pseudo-cream. So they've been able to open it maybe, covered head to toe. And everything, pseudo cream everywhere. Exactly. What has Julia said? Julia has said, the phone ringing and the caller ID saying it's your kids' school. Are they sick?

Do I have to go pick them up? Has there been a fight? Have they forgotten something? Do I look like a bad parent? Whatever it might be. I'd even argue seeing the boss calling. Yeah. Like there have been- What have I done? What's going on?

What have I done? What did I say? Yeah, what's happening? Shaka, what do you got for us? Uh, I didn't think of one. Oh, okay. Sorry. Nothing scarier than being called upon in a live radio segment. Babs, what have you got for us?

Well, following on from the P-Plater chat, when P-Plater's like it's raining and they're going way faster than you in like their little cars, I'm almost like, stop going so fast, you're so inexperienced, like slow down. Ha ha ha ha ha! You know nothing of the road rules.

Absolutely! Put your fog lights on! I've got one, hang on. Oh, here we go. Here we go, here we go, guys, he's come good now. It's driving related still. Okay, we're all on the road, are we? Sure. When you're, someone's behind you and you're driving and you indicate to go

somewhere they indicate and you just happen to be going in the same sort of route and you kind of think they're following you. Yes. You've never had that? No, no, but I get it from being the car behind thinking, oh, this person's going to think I'm following them when we're really just heading in the same direction. I mean, it's going to be a really mundane street you're turning down, right? Yeah. Do you remember one time you not followed me home, but I text you being like, are you

coming over? Did I forget we had plans? Where are you going? No, my gym just happens to be near your house. Yeah, that's right. But it is this weird, oh, what have I forgotten or what am I missing? I just don't notice people behind me that much. I followed you home the other day actually trying to prank you. I'll just do the zone baby. What about this one, getting out of the car.

Please do, take us off the road. When you're in a lift and you got to let one go. Or, Babs, you've never had to do that. No, but what Babs has done is actually let one go, thinking no one's going to get on on level five, someone gets on on level five. You don't know if it's going to be silent or loud. Or you follow through. Hey, that's on a run. If she'd had an almond croissant.

There's a question mark. Goodness me. Clench Babs, clench. So 13 turns six here. Nothing scarier then. Finish that for us. Absolutely. That call of fame up for grabs.

We'll get your next. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. 13 10 6 here, nothing scarier than dot, dot, dot finish that sentence. I had a scary moment where I saw a pea platter in mummy or daddy sports car and I just went, I think that's the scariest sight you can see on the road. What about what Cassie had contributed on the Jess and Duckukko socials? Nothing scarier than coughing in a doctor's waiting room.

The daggers from others pierced the skin. You know what? That was COVID times. That was a good one. That was COVID times. Coughing any time in COVID. You'd be in the supermarket genuinely having an asthma attack and people would be like, disease, Jeremy, get out of here. Truly people turned on you.

Yes. Jill has also said, Nothing scarier than getting a letter in the mail with Transport NSW, Revenue NSW, or Sheriff's Office written on it. You know, the start of this year, I talked about that Victoria fine and stuff,

I finally got the mail from Victoria. And I got the speeding fine that I got in December. That was like January, December. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Crazy. Oh my god. Sophie messaged me on the text line 0488, 08106, and it said, seeing the toilet water rise in the bathroom.

That's not your own. Oh. Because then it's like the last person there. It's on you. So it's like, what do you do there? Thank you for those contributions. Let's go to Kim. Hello, Kim.

Hello. Finish that sentence for us, babe. There's nothing scarier than? Being lactose intolerant, still having that coffee, feeling quite unwell, so going to lay down, and then feeling a sneezing fit coming. Oh, really nailed down a niche situation there. She's like, when was the thing,

this happened last night to Kim. She's like, this is fresh in my mind. There's a reason Babs typed in Kim's great. Jess and Ducco. So now Jess, we speak about former like Aussie pop shows like Australian Idol more than you think on this show. I know, because I think we grew up without streaming. So Free to Air and the big reality TV shows

are part and parcel of the fabric of our pop culture knowledge. Like I still remember on the Sydney Opera House stairs Guy Sebastian winning Australian Idol the first ever season. 100% I still remember Carise Eden taking home the first voice because that premise of the blind auditions was so humongous. So these things and these people whilst they might, I hope I'm not offending anyone, fade into obscurity a little bit. How dare you? I don't know what Carise is doing these days. The stories of their origins will live with us these people whilst they might, I hope I'm not offending anyone, fade into obscurity a little bit. How dare you?

I don't know what Carise is doing these days. The stories of their origins will live with us forever. Yeah. And there's a new podcast out by a great friend of the show, Nick Kelly. It's called, I love this, The Moment It Changed, Touchdown. Give us your best, Mark Holden. Touchdown! Nick Kelly joins us right now.

Hello legends. Good morning my friends. And I can tell you, Carice Eden is fine and doing well because she's on the podcast. She's currently studying disability services and having a good time with life and looking back at this time in her life and like the resilience that she had to build

because she kind of had this whole arc as being like, you know, the downtrodden person who managed to triumph. And, you know, they played that card so deeply and she's learned so much from it. And yeah, she's a legend. So because it says this lifts the lid on reality of how we've been manipulated by blockbuster shows from pop stars, Ozardles, The Voice, etc. So yeah, talk us through this. Are a lot of these episodes just peeling back the curtain of what actually went on? Literally, that's exactly what we do. And we talked to everyone that was in it, Deco's in it, Mark Holden.

We talked to contestants like Rob Mills and Casey Donovan, Darmy as well. And yeah, just get the real story. They were often when the shows were airing and just after the show aired on these contracts where they couldn't talk about it and they couldn't talk about what really went on. They're all out of those contracts now so they're not holding back and I think they're all doing it to try and make it a healthier place for the future.

But yes some of the things that you hear you hear Dico talking about the gold dress incident. So he talks about that and he talks about how he doesn't regret what he said and even 20 years on and if anyone said that now that you need to go and lose a few pounds to someone wearing a dress on TV you'd be hung on and slaughtered. But he says he doesn't regret it and that every time he said stuff that was like not his true self he felt worse than just telling people the truth. And so some of the, it was kind of shocking to hear some of the people

not regretting the decisions that were made on this show that really affected the mental health of the contestants, but for other people kind of learning from it and triumphing. And the other amazing thing was that none of the contestants we talked to, despite the shit they had to go through, regrets the decision to go on the show and they all said they learned something from it and learned how to be like a better person

from it. So all of that was really fascinating. It's interesting isn't it? Because I remember to go back to Carise, I remember thinking and I was suckered in by the media narrative, she hated the limelight and I remember thinking why did you go on a reality show? She was brilliant. Clearly she won the whole thing, but then didn't like the spotlight. But we only ever got one side of the story. So now with your podcast, Nick, I can actually hear from Carise herself. So that's going to be really interesting and maybe take stock of my own being fed the, drinking the Kool-Aid. Drinking the narrative here. Yeah.

That's what a lot of them talked about. They talked about how they were designed as this certain character in the show, you know, even for Casey Donovan, you know, designed as this young black girl that was on the show and, you know, designed to be this kind of downtrodden person. And that's not what was true to her, but they had to have a character. It's even like in maths, how there's always the villain edit. Every one of these reality shows does the same thing, where they build these different characters and they

pit people against each other that actually would be good friends in real life. Yes, some of the stuff that we heard, and not just on the shows, but what happens after the shows, because people like Darmium had to sign an agreement before they even step foot on that stage that locks them into a five album deal with one of the record labels if they if they wanted to

pick the pick her up and they did and then when they get into that record deal after the show that they didn't even dream they were going to get into it all turned into a mess and it turns into a fight and there's legal battles for years and years after. Because they don't have to give her the five records if they don't want to, but she signed to them. Is it sort of like that? Exactly. And then she wants to put out music and she wants to do it a certain way. And then the record label wanted her to do an album of covers of the band The Carpenters. And she was like, I don't want to do an album of covers by the band The Carpenters. I want to do Damien music.

So it just becomes this whole fight and yeah, hearing the years and years of trauma that these artists had to go through afterwards, it's inspiring to see where they're all at now, but it does make you wonder what the hell we were thinking 20 years ago behind the scenes. I think I've got rose coloured glasses on because I look at your maths and your love islands now and I go reality TV is the furthest thing from reality. But actually for the history of reality TV, we're going back 20, 25 years. It's always been like that. What about the artists like Rob Mills? You have Mills on there.

He's been on our show. Legend, great guy, doing a bit of acting in our musical theatre. It made him right. And I feel like in my opinion of Rob on that show, he didn't have a bad edit. He was like cool young hot party boy. He was dating Paris Hilton. Is that how he sort of sees it as well and acknowledges that it kind of helped him? 100% and they all do to be fair. Even Casey Donovan who had a pretty traumatic time on and after the show. You know, it opened up those initial doors for her to end up doing what

she's doing now where she's the lead in Sister Act and she's doing the work that she's always wanted to do. And yet it took time, but they all had to take that first step. And I think that's what people are seeing it as now is it can just be sort of a step forward. It can be a step into the door, even though no one remembers who won the 2025 Australian Idol. Do either of you remember who won? No, no. All of us. Exactly. It's still a step forward for them. And the good thing now is you don't have to sign one of those big five album record deals. You get a hundred thousand dollars cash instead. And you can

kind of make what you will with it and get the little platform of having a million eyes on you every single week. And from that perspective, even with the crap they all had to go through 20, 25 years ago, it was still a positive step in the right direction of doing music for a living, which is what they always wanted to do. And for Rob, obviously he stepped that into so many other disciplines as well. We didn't have TikTok 25 years ago for you to go viral.

And that's the platform which sprouted your talent, or at least eyeballs on you. Now it's like, I could go on Australian Idol, or I can try and get a million views on the TikTok and get picked up that way. Yeah, fascinating. Yeah. It's called The Moment It Changed,

Touchdown, of course, with our very own Nick Kelly, host of The Hot Hits with Nick and Lauren. Mate, great to have you back on the show. It's been too long since you've come on. Guys, I'm a rice cooker forever. So don't you worry about that. Oh, boy. We love you. Thanks, I'm a rice cooker forever. So if you worry about that. Oh boy. Thanks mate. Jess and Ducco.

Alphabux is around the corner, Ducco. And we received a DM I wanted to share with you and the rice cookers just how impactful our game is. Jess reached out, she said, hello, you incredible humans. I've got to share something hilarious that my five-year-old son said tonight. You know, we're big with the youth. Yeah. Uh, she's got a 10-year-old daughter as well. And sadly the family, uh, lost both, both their dogs in recent times. So they are talking about potentially adding another fur baby to the family.

But the 10-year-old is saying, I want to earn the money to buy the puppy. I want it to be my puppy. So I'm going to earn the money. When having a discussion about the cost of puppies, including, you know, cost of food, vaccinations, flea, tick and worm treatments, etc. The daughter has speculated she's going to need $1,000, Ducco, to buy her puppy. So she thought, I'm going to draw some artworks and I'm going to sell them. Or maybe I can set up a stall at a market. Oh yeah. Maybe I can sell them to friends and family Or maybe I can set up a stall at a market.

Oh yeah. Maybe I can sell them to friends and family. Mum, can you help me put them on the internet? The five-year-old son pipes up out of nowhere and says, Sis, why do you need to sell your artworks? It's easy to get money. You just call Jess and Dukko and they give you the alpha bucks money. See, that's what we do.

That's what we do. She said, oh, the innocence of a five-year-old who is clueless on life and how things work. Yeah. Yeah, mommy's gonna win that too. Mommy's gonna be good at the game. He's not far off. Yeah. You can call us and win alpha bucks money. Totally. You do just have to win the game. We gave it away not last week the week before or last week. Yeah, last Monday. Last Monday was that a first? Geez, that's right. Jen still to show us her ugly laundry that she wants to renovate. Really disappointing you, Jen. She's got to have received the funds by now. Obviously. You hope so.

I hope she hasn't washed her hands of us. We want to see the before and after. Absolutely. But it can be done. It can be done. So to the five-year-old, it can be done. Get your mum to call. 13, 10, 16. We'll start with the same letter. Have to take your first answer. You cannot use the same answer twice. If you're unsure of the question, say pass.

We love Naomi. We love Naomi. Got it there. To get yourself eight. I think we fell apart with the verb You could have had nap not or nibble But kneeling start to decay. It's one of those tricky ones TV series could have been NCIS new girl There's a few apart from that everything else you answered

You got yourself correct and you don't go by empty-handed hundred all suspended freshwater farm That's body care products made for your whole family and that is all yours. Amazing. Thank you so much. Yes. And Ducco. 13 10 60. We want to hear some of the unhinged ways you have tried to get your kid to fall asleep.

Now this is, as I said, helping each other out because maybe you're at your wits end. My kid's going through something at the moment, Ducco. I actually tried one of these last night, didn't work, but there are hundreds and hundreds of suggestions. Some people have contributed. My son would only listen to audio books and then drift off if they were read by former President Barack Obama. No lullaby had the same soothing effect on him as that man's voice does.

He does. It's milk and honey. You're a fan. Were you listening to audiobooks for a while? What was the McConaughey thing? Greenlight. His book. His book? Yeah, Greenlight and you just say it randomly. Just the dulcet tones drifting you to sleep. So I might try that one next. Yeah. Someone else contributed. This isn't just for babies, this is for toddlers,

kids of all ages. My four year old started sleeping better when we finally relented and let him take the kitchen spatula to bed with him. No huggy, cuddly stuffed toy. Spoon him with the spatula. Very nice. Now this is the one I tried last night. It didn't work but it worked for this woman. Filled a glove with warm raw rice because she could only sleep if I was on the floor and my hand was on her back or belly. So I thought to remove myself I could just replace my hand with this filled glove and place it on her on her back and she would think my hand was still on her. Now it worked for this mum. Did not work for me. Angus spent the rest of the night. What kind of glove did you use? Like a latex? So I just used a latex glove, like the kitchen glove.

Yeah. This woman hasn't specified maybe she used like a mitten or something warmer. You never know. Because I understand if my kid felt latex in the middle of the night, maybe that freaked her out. Yeah, that could have been weird. That could have been very odd. Or also like, oh my god, mum's hands detached. where's the rest of her body? Where did she go? I think I just went in and was like, what is this? I was like, I was at my wits end, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are you? Do you want to try anything? Particularly when they get a bit old, like, Flow's obviously only five and a bit weeks old. Have you had to try anything with this stage? I mean, we've had to, obviously, lots of rocking, lots of music, lots of singing various songs, but going for drives. Yeah. Put her in the backseat, just going for long drives. Pretty standard stuff at this stage. Pretty standard stuff.

Yeah, yeah. Because they're so, they're such a blob right now. Totally. I think it does start getting maybe eight months onwards we may be trying these tricks. We got a DM, Ducko. Now we put this on the public grid, but this person said, I don't want to post publicly. So we'll leave her anonymous. Okay, good, good.

She said, look, I don't want any judgment, but my kid has only started sleeping through the night or at least staying in her bed because I play scary monster sounds to keep her in her room. Oh, so she's threatening her. If you come out here, the monster will get you. I wonder, has she got some sort of portable speaker or she leaving her phone That's funny under the bed. Don't get out of bed Hey lean into it if you cut this monsters in my bed mummy. Yes, there is hey I will get you if it gets you eight hours overnight Oh, you're doing you gotta do if the warm rice didn't work for me. I didn't heat it up

It was just till the raw rice. That's where you went. Maybe I didn't heat it up. It was just tilde raw rice. Oh, that's why you weren't raw. Maybe I needed to heat it up. Does it need to be hot, hot? Or is it? I know. She said warm. I guess that maybe feels more human. But I was like, oh, it's surely the squidginess and the weight of it would be enough. But the monster sounds. That's fun. That's my next. Yeah, that's your next goal. Next thing in the arsenal.

Bads, you've got one for us. For me, you're a baby. Yeah. My mum used to put me on top of the washing machine while it was going. Nah, just chuck her on the machine. Put her through a rinse and spin and she's off. Do you know, were you in like a capsule or something? Or were you just like bare? No, I was on a snuggle bed. A snuggle bed.

Interesting. Cause that would be the motion. It'd be a pretty violent motion. I would have thought for a child, but. Back in the day, like Babs is 24, washing machines back then. I then I don't know if they have those things yeah oh is that just the first iteration yeah yeah they just love motion that'd be the first iteration of the snoo like yeah I guess it would be which is a $2,000 implement that rocks the child I guess that's essentially what you're doing we put flow in the pram in the living room and just move it back and forth sometimes you know there's a little device you can buy it's called the rocket and it rocks the pram

and it literally just jiggles. Oh, it just keeps it moving. Yeah, I see them at cafes a lot. You know what I see actually, I want to borrow Shaggy's, it was broken. The Robo Vac, people put their babies on the Robo Vac and it just moves around the house. Yes, I wonder, how do you, do you tape her down?

I guess so. How do you do it? You duct tape around? I will work around that. Oh, we can do, you know like when you stick a bow on a present, you know, you do the a bow on a present. Yeah, yeah. You know, you do the double sided tape. It's a long way for the robo back to carry.

Anyway, unhinged things you've done to get your kid to sleep 13, 10, 60. Two birds, one stone. Babs' mum's putting a load of washing on, you could get your house back cubed. Oh, it's all working. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. What is the unhinged way you've gotten your kid to go to sleep? Maybe you're on to something and we want to do a bit of a public service.

Let's help each other out because there is nothing more vital than sleep. So if you've got a hack, please let's share it. Corey got in touch, Ducco. He said, my daughter goes to sleep holding my wife's armpit and gets mad when she doesn't give her the armpit. So every night- Ducco Just grabbing the armpit and gets mad when she doesn't give her the armpit. So every night, my wife has to fall asleep with my daughter arm up over her head so she can palm the armpit. Touch the pit, must be warm. Must be warm. Really warm.

Jen has said the only way we would get my kid to sleep, no white noise machine was loud enough, so we'd put her on the kitchen bench and turn the range hood on the oven full blast, like level four, because that whirring was enough to get her to rock to sleep. The worst is when you get them to sleep on the couch you put them into their cot and then they wake up. The transition down. Because it's different, it's a different room, different light, different sound. I know I'm not in your arms now daddy, I'm wide awake. I like this one Leo said a chunk of real butter melted through her milk bottle at night time that feels calorie dense and very dairy you were just knocking them out yeah

Mel's called in on 13 10 16 Mel what thing did you do to get your kid asleep hey guys hello where my daughter, when my daughter Sophie was about 80 months, she was addicted to Adele. So every night, probably for about two years, I had to play Rolling in the Deep or Hello to get her to sleep and I had to play until she was out to it. Did you just have Adele albums just, you know, on shuffle? It was on repeat. And then when she came to Sydney for her concert We me and three girlfriends went and we had to pretend we weren't going to see her And when she came when we got home and showed him the videos

Oh my god, the death looks from a two-year-old was horrendous to be fair if you've taken the two-year-old She probably would have fell asleep To be fair, if you'd taken the two-year-old, she probably would have fell asleep. Yeah, she would have fallen asleep during the tell. You know, like, she's a dog, she's trained. She probably would have. She'd fall asleep. Oh, that's funny. Thank you, Mel.

When you find what works. Yeah. You know what I mean? We finally got the folklore vinyl, the Taylor Swift one yesterday, and Flo's heard a lot of that now. I think she's starting to fall asleep to that. Okay. Well, I mean, plenty in the back catalogue of a Taylor Swift, at least, at your disposal.

Sarah, good morning to you. Good morning. Do you have an unconventional and unhinged way that worked for you to get the kid to sleep? Well, I haven't slept a full 12 years but no, this is where it did work for me. Alright, well we can try it. Maybe it'll work for us. No, it does get them to sleep. A little premier baby after 120 days in NICU, the only song that would work is Killin' in the Name of by Reese Jensen-Rus reaching some machine some babies just want to watch the world burn sorry Sarah this was the lullaby equivalent the lullaby equivalent after 120 days in Nicky

yeah what made you put this on to find out you know like stuff it or a wit sand let's just put rage on oh know, spending 120 days traveling back and forth to the hospital. You know, you said you needed to get your anger out some way. But she loved it. She's actually, I heard the Monster Under the Head theme. She'd be like, where's the monsters?

The scarier the better, she loves it. Okay, cut from a different cloth, I love it. Let's watch the well-burned. So there you go, maybe, you know, I curated a playlist of lullabies and sweet songs and covers of, you know, Beatles songs, really slow. Maybe I'm doing the wrong thing. I should play a bit of screamo music. Yeah, do it. Yeah. Jess and Dukko.

You could have had Hook Me Up by the Veronica's. Oh no, I was never getting that. That might be a forgotten banger there, but I'm very good. Yeah, maybe I should pat that one on. We're all silent there. Oh, it's a good song anyway. All right, next word is drug. Oh. Your love, your love, your love is my drug. Nice. Yeah, your love.

Another point to Jess. You know what I was gonna say, set them up with the drugs. That was Khalifa. Oh, of course. That's the Friday's Live Army. Yes. All right guys, Jess is on two points

lady to get her hands on these tickets. So good. Tickets are on sale Monday, June 2 at midday. Yeah. Make sure you head to... It's hard to say midday on Monday. It is hard to say, it's a little tongue twister. Yeah.

Fridays with a Z.live. Obviously they've got an Instagram account as well. You can follow us for any updates. But Mel is going, so if you know Mel I was sucking up hard. She was working at the hospital, she was working at the John. She had to tell someone in the moment I haven't won the lotto. She was that excited, she was crying excited. It's been, I mean Mariah Carey, she'd be a bucket list artist for so many people

and you get to see her with her mates at Fridays Live, it's incredible. The one stage. The one stage. Everyone who's messaged me as well privately, can you get me tickets? We can't even get ourselves tickets, so... No, no, that's how hot these tickets are! We gotta, yeah, keep it locked right here on here. Absolutely.

Ah, gee, it's been a hell of a show today, team. A hell of a show. The vibes emanating off Shy Guy alone. Oh, yeah. You're a radiating vibe today. He's radiating, indeed. Yeah. You're basically levitating.

Thanks. Yeah. And Babs, you've been superb. I know you've had to deal with a lot of people calling through at the wrong time. So well done. Well, she's got a new car, so she's just pumped. Yeah. What's the first song when you pulled out of the lot?

What's the first song you put on your stereo? What did you chuck in? I don't even remember because I was that stressed driving out. I didn't want to crash. And it's always in front of the people at the car dealership. You're like, oh my goodness. Why are the exits of car dealership so tight? So tight.

And they've got all the display cars right around there, and they're like, guys, let's open this up a bit. And they're all staring at you just waving, and you're like, no! God forbid you need to drive out of the actual dealership, you know if they've got the display car inside, they're trying to elbow make it special. Oh goodness. Everyone stop looking as I drive past you. Yeah, it's scary.

And the minute you drive out of there, that thing depreciates. Thank you. You know what she said to me before, about 20 minutes ago, she goes, I wonder what my car's doing right now. I was like, I don't know, probably stuck between mine and Jess's. Sorry. What my car is doing? Do you have a name for it? Are we going to give it a personality? I call it Kimi. Kimi the Kona. Kimi the Kona, I like that.

That's nice. So Kimi's next to Shia. What's your car called? It doesn't have a name. Of course it doesn't. Let's call it soulless. Yeah nice, well spotless as well. Spotless, yeah yeah. I always hear it. It does need to clean.

What? It's been too, oh my god. No but inside, I mean sometimes I peer into your car just to see if there's a road. Your car gets cleaned more than Jess cleans herself. You're not wrong. I mean cumulatively, how long I spend in the shower. No I do need to vacuum it though.

Oh jeez, can you do mine too? Oh my god, I would love to. Could you? I'm starting a little service. I don't need a side hustle. Come on! Can you do it in like little booty shorts? Yeah, that'd be so fun. Like Jessica Simpson. Yeah, that'd be the exact same thing. Car wash baby.

Working at Shy Guy's Car Wash. Let's do a fundraiser. Come on, that'd be fun. No fundraisers. Let's do Shy Guy's car wash fundraiser. No one does that anymore. In the depths of winter. Yeah. Oh, your nipple's so hard. So, so hard. Everything else is so, so small. Anyway, we're out of here.

We could spare a few inches. Absolutely. Finally, you look normal. If it was me, you wouldn't see this. Oh, he is human. Ah, Christ, it's human. Anyway, we're out of here. We're done.
