Starting point is 00:00:00 The new loose change menu has dropped at Macca's. OMG. T's and C's apply. Jess and Darko. This is the Jess and Darko podcast. Jess and Darko, welcome to the podcast. The end of the show today, hopefully you put it in the podcast. Yeah, great.
Starting point is 00:00:14 Because we were discussing, tomorrow on the show we're getting the amazing Jono in. That's right. This all started because I told you about my goal for 2025, which was just left over from 2024, learning to juggle. I bought myself some balls. I watched some tutorials, but it wasn't really sticking. No, my issue was you weren't taking your goal seriously enough. So to push you out of your comfort zone, I challenge you to juggle.
Starting point is 00:00:35 I juggle off live at 7.50 this coming Friday. We're days out. That's right. I had mentioned to you that my husband thought I would prioritize juggling over the safety of my daughter. And so you should sometimes. I had mentioned to you that my husband thought I would prioritise juggling over the safety of my daughter. And so you should sometimes. Sometimes.
Starting point is 00:00:52 If you're going to actually throw yourself into a new hobby, sometimes small children have got to get out of your way. Exactly right. Unfortunately, Babs has come in with a friend of hers who originally was touted as... A cousin? Could be a cousin. Could be a cousin. Who was touted as someone can help. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some tips?
Starting point is 00:01:06 Let's get you show ready. We wanted a clown or a clown school person on, but we've got... That's right, but instead she's rolled in with her mate Magnificent Jono. Amazing Jono. Amazing Jono. Who sent an email during the week that he's just going to blow me out of the freaking water. He's going to come with a unicycle the size
Starting point is 00:01:22 of me and then he's going to come with axes on fire and he can juggle flaming axes. I mean, what's not to come with a unicycle the size of me, and then he's going to come with axes on fire, and he can juggle flaming axes. I mean, what's not to love about that? What was meant to start as tutorial, you know, he's meant to be like the coach on The Voice. Now he's just taken over. It's now the Jono show. It's the Jono show, but he's still teaching you.
Starting point is 00:01:36 You're the main act on Friday. Jono's flirting with us on Thursday. Oh, my God. He's the support act. So here's what we're trying to go through off the air now, because we discussed this. We all found out live on the air, just gone, that Jono had flaming axes. It was like pulling teeth, getting Babs to reveal that.
Starting point is 00:01:50 But we eventually got it out there. We got there. Shaga read the email. And I don't think I've ever been this excited. Like, this is fantastic. Dago's eyes like a kid in a candy store. Lit up. He can bring axes everywhere.
Starting point is 00:02:00 It's fire. I'll take a Shetland pony if he's got one. But the question now is risk assessment. Yes. O-H-N-S. Shy guy's talking about the paperwork. And we're just a bit concerned this might get shut down before it's even had a chance to get up in the air. And now that we're doing it on the podcast, it's on the record.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Oh, yeah. Oh, that's right. So we're going to interview him Thursday at 7.30. And then at 7.50 tomorrow, we are going to go hopefully downstairs, watch him juggle axes while on a unicycle. Is the outside element just for the fire? Well, in general. True, actually.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Because if we eliminate the fire. It's going to be too small here. There's going to be no juggle room. Either way, he'd need to be in either the boardroom. But the roof height's the same. I kind of want fire. Is it the same? Well, if you look out there, it's the same.
Starting point is 00:02:45 I think it might be. I don't think our studio's any smaller. No. That's interesting. It might be a bit more soundproofing, but it wouldn't be much. You know what's bigger? The staff room. You mean it's higher?
Starting point is 00:02:54 The higher, yeah, yeah, yeah. Over near the kitchen. The kitchen does feel like a higher roof, doesn't it? Yeah, it definitely does. No, not in the kitchen. In the main... Oh, that area. The function room, whatever the fuck that is.
Starting point is 00:03:03 What do we call that? Boardroom. The boardroom, yeah. I've always had so many meetings in there. The hunter room. There you go. Oh, thank you. All right, receptionist.
Starting point is 00:03:10 So the issue is maybe we need to send an email to Jono. I think we need to go outside. How high do you need a roof? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And also, I'm on fire. We can always go outside. Oh, you do want the fire? I was going to say, if we eliminate the fire,
Starting point is 00:03:22 can we stay in the studio? So someone's going to have to panel here in the studio. And then we go downstairs. And then we basically commentate Jono and film it live. Babs is live streaming it. Absolutely. Obviously. Commentate Jono live.
Starting point is 00:03:36 You can't have a fire juggling, axe throwing unicyclist and not capture it. I realise on Friday it's going to be like, all right now, Jess, juggle. My record is nine. I did a 13 the other day and I've not been able to recreate it. Have we set you a task? Did I say over 10? You wanted 10. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Maybe I'll up that. After seeing Jono do some cool stuff. Why don't you set me on fire and keep it at 10? Let's see if Jono can teach you anything about fire tomorrow. There's so many possibilities. There is. And what I love is this is fantastic because you're so nervous. I'm so nervous.
Starting point is 00:04:11 I went out yesterday and was practicing in my garden, and the feedback I got from all the rice cookers was, hey, let's put proper shoes on because I didn't like I was wearing socks. I'm not taking it seriously enough. You need juggle shoes. One dude I used to know from an old job, he messaged being like, you know you don't have to stay stationary. He got really angry about it.
Starting point is 00:04:30 I'm like, can everyone calm down? I'm getting a lot of angry tutorials from people who think they know better than me. Staying stationary I'd imagine is much easier than moving around when you're learning how to juggle. My issue is I think the balls were getting too far ahead of me, so I was having to lean and bend and drop them.
Starting point is 00:04:46 I wasn't keeping them contained. But these are all things maybe Jono can assist with. Totally. And we can ask him tomorrow, right before he juggles flaming axes. Yeah. This is going to be fun. I wonder what the step is from balls to axes. I'd imagine it's not much.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Am I just a month away? I'd imagine once you get 12 in a row consistently, you can do axes. Yeah, if I nail it on Friday, do we come back the following Friday with axes? I'm happy for you to give axes a go. Fire, let's hold off. Babs, are you happy for axes? I might have to do a risk assessment. Nah, I'm happy for her to do axes. You own a little axe. I'll bring that in. I'll bring the hatchet in. I can start with one. Yeah, why not? And maybe you should be the only
Starting point is 00:05:16 one in here and we'll all go stand outside just in case. Yeah, you need like full gridiron padding. We'll be covered up. You know when they train the police dogs to attack the people who... We'll be in those. You should wear that, actually. So you can chop your own limbs off. How am I meant to juggle with that?
Starting point is 00:05:30 I need to be limber. Imagine if you got good enough that you could. By the end of this year, we're calling you the Amazing Jessie. Oh, I don't care for Jessie. I know. It just sounded so rude. No, it has to be an acronym starting with J. Yeah, Joyful Jessica.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Jolly Jessica. Jolly isn't as good. Jolly just gives. It's giving Santa. And, Joyful Jessica. Jolly Jessica. Jolly isn't as good. Jolly just gives, it's giving Santa. And I want to be. Jiggling Jessica. Again, that's giving the juggling Jessica. That makes more sense. But I prefer juggling.
Starting point is 00:05:55 My original coach, Tyron, he came over the first time he juggled lemons. That's what got me into the juggling world. And then I have giant 10-pin bowling at my house, and I got him to juggle those. That was very impressive. And he did that? He did that. Was he on fire? No. I'll bring in the pins. Pins would be harder, though, the weight distribution.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Than an axe? Oh, no, not than an axe. An axe is the holy grail, I think, of juggling. No, no, on fire. Do you know what it sounds like? I want to be friends with him. That's wild. Can you imagine going to his house just for a couple of beers, where the night would end up? Oh, he'd do it every time.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Do you want to see me juggle? Jono, I've seen it now four times. No, you would come over with more and more ridiculous things for him to juggle. I would, I would. Three lava lamps. Here's my dog and a cat. Juggle them, Jono. Oh, two things.
Starting point is 00:06:39 That's easy. Here's grandma. Chuck her in the mix. Jono, what have you got? I am excited. Get on your unicycle and juggle for me. Have you ever tried to ride a unicycle? No, I think pogo stick is hard enough.
Starting point is 00:06:49 I ain't doing a unicycle. Unicycles are tough. I actually managed to ride one okay, but then for me, the issue is falling and popping my shoulder out. Yep. You know, it's the coming off. That is the hardest for me. It's not actually so much the getting on but riding it.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Yeah, right. Where did I learn to ride a unicycle? I was doing something ridiculous. Was that one of your kid shows? Could have been kid show. Could have been the weather. Some dumb thing I was doing. Have you ever done a pogo stick? Yep. Done a pogo. I haven't pogoed in unicycle? I was doing something ridiculous. Was that one of your kid shows? Could have been a kid show, could have been the weather, some dumb thing I was doing. Have you ever done a pogo stick? Yeah, I've done a pogo. I haven't pogoed in a while. Pogo's hard.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Pogoing was fun. I see Shy Guy pogoing. I see him going to the local netball court on a Saturday morning and just having a good old pogo. He just goes, I'm off mum. She's like, have a good pogo. Now this is the question. Does he pogo all the way to the park?
Starting point is 00:07:26 I'm not going to carry it. I'm an idiot. No, he pogos all the way to the park. All the way. And by the end of it, he's fucked. He's like. He gets through the netball court and he's like, well, now bug it. I pogoed all the way.
Starting point is 00:07:36 He's like one of those people who's really pushing for pogo sticks as a form of transport. Guys, it's easy. It's convenient. He nearly lost out to the Segway people. And he's filthy about it. People going past on bikes, ringing their bells. He's just, it's easy. It's convenient. He nearly lost out to the Segway people. I mean, he's filthy about it. People going past on bikes, ringing their bells. He's just, damn you, kids. Between you and those people, you know those just electronic
Starting point is 00:07:51 wheels? Yeah. Yeah. What were they called? They were hoverboards. They were the OG hoverboard. No, hoverboard is like the one wheel with the two. They're still called a hoverboard. Oh, but hoverboard as well is like the little skate. the two feet? The one wheel with the two. Yeah, they still call it a hoverboard.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Oh, but hoverboard as well is like the little skate. You know what I'm... Yeah, but it's called a hoverboard. What's a YOLO board? What? That's a yo-yo. What's the... The OG hoverboard, I swear.
Starting point is 00:08:16 I thought hoverboard was you had two feet on it like a platform. Oh, you mean one... I'm talking about it's one... These. No, no. I know what you're talking about now. Oh, yes, yes. A big, fat, thick wheel.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Exactly. I don't even know what to describe. Okay, I don't know what that could be. Wheel? On the board, big wheel. Electronic. A power wing. Wheel.
Starting point is 00:08:38 What are they called? Single wheel? Single wheel. Over wheel? One wheel? It is one wheel. Single wheel. It kind of One wheel? It is one wheel. Single wheel. It kind of is giving.
Starting point is 00:08:47 There you go. Oh, my God. It's an electric unicycle. These things. Yeah, they are freaky, man. I saw a guy go through the airport on one of those, and I was like, surely. Yeah. That's an electric unicycle.
Starting point is 00:09:02 They are so weird. They're very cool. Oh, here he is. That's the evolution of the pogo. I'll axe myself if I get on mine. You stick to your pogo sticking. It's a family tradition. You've pogoed all the show guys with pogo.
Starting point is 00:09:14 You've pogoed all the netball courts. And why are you at a netball court on a weekend anyway? Let's not dig down on it. He has to quickly scamper away before all the ladies come to play their Saturday comp. He's not allowed near park, so he's got to go netball court. Well, neither is Jess. You'll hear why later today. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Ooh, good tease. Well done. And a dig at the same time. It's a great show. See, that sentence was better than Shy Guy's Drake for the last week. That's why it's cancelled. If you notice that. Key news.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Stay tuned for Babs' blog. Oh, yes. Hey, is Babs' blog on Thursdays? I can't. No, that's wordy-okey. Oh, okay, sure. Well, Babs' blog. Oh, yes. Hey, is Babs' blog on Thursdays? I can't. No, that's wordy-okey. Oh, okay, sure. Well, Babs' blog will be Monday. We actually haven't found a spot for her because remember Monday we said we were going to do
Starting point is 00:09:50 the dregs from the leftover wheat. That's right, but now it's been canned completely. Are we fully canning it? What do you reckon? Well, we're going to talk with our boss after. Okay. Do we? He's not very happy these days.
Starting point is 00:09:59 He's a bit grumpy. Don't play LMAFAO. He doesn't listen to the podcast. Don't give people a reason to turn off was what he said to us. I'm going to message Redfoo and tell him. Yeah. Redfoo's pumped that we played his song. I'm pumped we played.
Starting point is 00:10:12 He's getting six cents. Babs said it was a banger. Banger. Did I say that? Yeah. Banger. You came in, you were like, oh, it's not quite Royal Otis, but this is still sick. That's not what I said.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Why do I speak like that? That's you, man. I don't know who's talking right now. You sound identical. Actually, we only should do it on the show once. Babs has to back announce a song. Just for fun. I'll turn the mic on. Do you want to practice, Babs? Yeah, that's a bit of fun.
Starting point is 00:10:35 So she's coming off the song, not into the song. Alright, here we go. I'm not going to be able to play the end of the song. You start fading it down. I can play the hook. So we can go... Yeah, of the song. That's right. You start fading it down. I can play the hook. So we can go. I'm sexy and I know it. Yeah. L-M-F-A-O.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Sexy and I know it. Yeah. Who are we? Oh, this is Jess and Ducko. You know what? I've heard worse on Triple J. I wasn't ready. Okay, go again.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Here we go. It's live radio, babe. You've always got to be ready. This is a podcast. The minute you start talking, I will fade it down. Okay. All right, here we go. I'm sexy and I know it.
Starting point is 00:11:10 LMFAO, sexy and I know it. This is Jess and Ducko, and this is Wednesday. I'll take it. I'll take it. I've just said, this is Thursday. I'm going to start doing that. And this is Wednesday. This is Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Shit, I thought it was Tuesday. Thank you, hit. It's not easy to sound not like an idiot when start doing that. And this is Wednesday. This is Wednesday. Shit, I thought it was Tuesday. Thank you, Hit. It's not easy to sound not like an idiot when you do that. It's a real wanky thing to have to do to make it sound nice and normal. But you've done street team. You know that through the speaker, through the mic, you diluted about 15%. So you've got to come in hotter. You've got to be more energetic.
Starting point is 00:11:40 That's right. You've got to be up. Which I got told a lot, actually. I bet you did. I bet you did. We're good. What do you mean? I bet you did. We're good. What do you mean? You have such high energy on the show.
Starting point is 00:11:49 You're so, so good. My sister used to lick the butcher glass. Thanks. Well told, Babs. Thanks so much. Anyway. You've got to lift for Amazing Jono tomorrow, all right? Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:03 I'm really excited. Don't yell at me. 23 of the week, team. Welcome to Wednesday. Holy crap, Ducko. I've not noticed Monday or Tuesday, but Shy Guy's turned his lava lamp on for a Wednesday. No, I just turned it on today. Yes.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Because my laptop's fully charged. Because normally, I bought you a lava lamp for Christmas, one of the most used presents that you got. You were his secret Santa. I was his secret Santa. And you didn't have to get any secret notes passed. There was no meeting. It was, I know. We nailed each other.
Starting point is 00:12:33 He got me a ring, a specific ring, and I got him a lava lamp. He got you a ring for a certain body part that's not a finger. You got a lava lamp, but we've had the predicament. There's only one outlet, one PowerPoint on the desk, and Shy Guy had the great predicament. I need to charge my laptop. Yeah, and this laptop. It dies so quick.
Starting point is 00:12:50 It only lasts about half an hour. The work laptops die so fast. So fast. And it takes three hours for the lava lamp to actually heat up. So it's not until the end of the show that we're actually bubbling. But when it does and we get our first bubble that floats by itself, let's celebrate. Because up until now, he turned it on that one time. And the goo, I guess it's the lava inside,
Starting point is 00:13:07 kind of got solidified in this weird-ass shape because then it got turned off and cooled down. Do I swirl it around, maybe? Do I let it reset? No, I think just let it go. Just let it do its thing. Let it run its natural course. Yeah, but really, it was like Encino Man,
Starting point is 00:13:22 you know, like the Ice Age Neanderthals who got frozen in time. Sorry, Jess. That's just far too niche. That's just history, baby. That's not even pop culture. That's just me. You said Ice Age.
Starting point is 00:13:32 I think you're recording a film. No, no. The real historical time. You're recording Ice Age. No. Encino Man was a movie with Brendan Fraser. There you go. There it is.
Starting point is 00:13:42 It actually happened. No one saw Encino Man. I loved old school Brendan Fraser. The mummy. The mummy won, obviously. actually happened. No one saw Encino Man. I loved old school Brendan Fraser. The mummy. The mummy won. The mummy was good. But Encino Man? Where then he goes to high school?
Starting point is 00:13:50 I don't know Encino Man. Let's have a movie. A movie night. Anyway, it was like you got frozen in time. Like the lava. Okay, I see. It looks like someone's leg is like suspended. Oh, it is quite anatomical.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Yeah, it is. We could talk about what the lava looks like all day. But the good news is it's on. It's on. We're storing it. Oh, it is quite anatomical. Yeah, it is. We could talk about what the lava looks like all day, but the good news is it's on. It's on. We're fired up. It's heating up. Should I do a time lapse on the Jess and Ducko socials? Great idea.
Starting point is 00:14:14 And then Shai got really excited. I need mine throughout the show. Set your phone up. We need our phones. This feels like a you job. Come and sit in here. Don't worry about the phones today. Just sit in here holding your phone to record the lava lamps development.
Starting point is 00:14:26 And we'll be like, answer the phones, babs. Someone wants to contribute. Anyway. You can always contribute on 131060. We have $250 cashola up for grabs for our co-found. That's right. Whatever you want to spend that on. We know school's back soon, so maybe it's something for the kids.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Maybe it's something to treat yourself for surviving the endless school holidays. We've had some people use it on Officeworks, but someone called in yesterday and was like, do I need to use it for Officeworks? And then we read the T's and C's. What now? It's catch. It's catch.
Starting point is 00:14:53 You can do whatever you want with it. You do whatever you want. You can buy uniforms back to school. Absolutely. A couple of new scrunchies. Oh, scrunchies are always good to have. You can never have too many scrunchies. New jocks.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Took the words right out of my mouth. How does the word jock? I do like jocks. It was funny. I don't remember who the first boy, an ex-boyfriend, called them undies, not jocks. Like I grew up in a household where mine were undies and my brother's were jocks.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Oh, funny. So I remember this ex-boyfriend saying something about undies and I went, no, no, you don't wear undies. Undies are for ladies. Oh, that's funny. What do you mean? It's all underwear. It's all undies, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:23 But I really had segregated it in my mind. I really gendered it. The jock. And the jock to me is like the little boy jock without the legs. It's like the DT look. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What's your undie of choice? I always go.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Jock of choice? I have like the little, I thought they were briefs, but I have like the leg part. The boy leg. The boy leg. That's what Angus likes to. Yeah, I can't wear the little, I call them the little boy one, but the DT look one, I can't do it. My mum bought Angus jocks for Christmas. Oh yeah?
Starting point is 00:15:48 That's tough carry. Did she get him small? And he's like, hang on a minute. Well, she goes, hang on, I'm at the shop. I was about to buy the ones your father likes and my father likes the Rio undies. And I'm like, no, no, no. Don't get him those. Angus is a boy leg man. Yeah, yeah. Don't get him
Starting point is 00:16:03 the Rios. Large, thank you. XL around the front. And he only likes bonds. Don't get him those. Angus is a boy leg man. Yeah, yeah. Don't get him the Rios. Large, thank you. XL around the front. And he only likes bonds. Don't even try and get fancy with your brands. Yeah, agreed. Yeah, yeah. I used to have an Ambas. That's right.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Don't worry about it. It doesn't matter. Shot Guy Dips on the show today starting at 7. That's right. We're dipping cereal. Yes. A lot of fun. We've got Alphabucks for $10,000, $630, and at $8,000.
Starting point is 00:16:23 But up next, I'm excited for this. Ooh. I wanted to reveal it to $10,000, $630,000 and an eight. But up next, I'm excited for this. Ooh. I wanted to reveal it to you yesterday, but we got carried away and we ran out of time. We've been sent an invitation, Ducko. You and I, and I guess by extension, Shy Guy and Babs. Yeah. Really looking forward to seeing Babs' reaction for this. Great.
Starting point is 00:16:39 But the Rice Cookers, they want us a part of their communities. Specifically. Yes. This is a DM we got. It's a DM we got. No, if I tell you what sort of community, you'll give it away. Let's do it next. Jess and Ducko.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Jess and Ducko. We've received an invitation, Ducko, and I'm really excited to bring this to you, to Shy Guy, especially to St. Mary Babs. Because I just love the idea that we've created this community of rice cookers. We extend invitations to some things we're doing, and now they're doing the same back. We've been invited to join a community, an event. So they DM'd us this? They DM'd us.
Starting point is 00:17:16 Okay. I actually got the notification on the Jess and Ducko Instagram because they tried to video call us at 10 o'clock at night. Oh, jeez. Oh, what's going on here? Hang on a minute. I have a bit of a rule. I'm like, it's 10 o'clock at night. And I went, oh, what's going on here? Hang on a minute. I have a bit of a rule. I'm like, it's 10 o'clock.
Starting point is 00:17:28 I'm asleep. What's the thought process there? You know what? I can't message it. I'll just call them. I'll just let them know. I'm going to call. And late at night too.
Starting point is 00:17:34 You know we do breakfast, guys. But it's all right. Only shy guys awake then. Only shy guys. And I'm not answering DMs. No, no. You've got your notifications turned off. But at 10 o'clock at night, Michelle has tried to video call,
Starting point is 00:17:45 obviously not had a response, not had a pickup, and sent this. Hi, Jess and Ducko. My name's Michelle. I'm the PR officer for a well-established nudist resort. I don't know if they want the free advertising or not, so I'll just leave the name on it. We're set on 40 acres of beautiful natural bushland, which I feel like is purposeful for an administration resort to be in bushland.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Absolutely. I would like to propose, I'd like to extend the invite to you and the team to join us. Oh my God, we've got to go. To come and see. Yeah. I wouldn't say come. I wouldn't say come. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:24 See what we're all about. She's given some more information about herself there, mobile number and see. Yeah. I wouldn't say come. I wouldn't say come. Yeah, yeah, yeah. See what we're all about. She's given some more information about herself there, mobile number and such. Yeah. We're completely above board. I appreciate that because I know there's so many. There's beneath board. Oh, there's bad nudist brand.
Starting point is 00:18:38 There's below board. I've had a few nudist scam ones. I've rocked up and it's not been above board. It's not been above board. People were clothed. Okay. We're completely above board. We're not been above board. People were clothed. Okay. We're completely above board. We're a members run club.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Yeah. Love that. Thinking that this might be a good special morning for your whole crew. I seem like we do the show from there live. I think Michelle's just putting it out there. Could you imagine a three hour nude show with each other? I like this though, because she's saying, don't just come and, I don't know, have a dip in our pool.
Starting point is 00:19:04 I can see that there's a lovely pool and recreational area. That pool. I mean, as if you're not, if you're naked in a pool, you're peeing in it. There's just no doubt. There's no barrier to entry. No, there's not. Brexit.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Our members and guests are an interesting, fun-loving bunch of people. I like this note. Yeah. With a surprisingly varied array of professions and backgrounds. My huge Johnson. I look forward to hearing from you and discussing further if you and backgrounds. My huge Johnson. I look forward to hearing from you and discussing further if you're interested.
Starting point is 00:19:28 I love this. She signed up. Signed off. Bottoms up. Oh, bottoms up. Michelle's a bit of fun. Okay. You have to be if you're PR for a nudist colony.
Starting point is 00:19:38 Do they like to be called a colony? I'm not sure. A colony feels a bit culty. It does feel cult. Are they close to us? Yes. They are. Shy Guy just did a little quick Google Maps.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Was it a 50-minute drive? 30. 30-minute drive. It's okay. This is all I'm pointing out. It's very doable. Do we think? It screams swingers, right?
Starting point is 00:19:56 It screams people go. Because I've seen some people like nudist cruises and stuff where they're a bit like that. Babs might be able to answer this more. She would. She's our man on the ground. Our lady on the ground, if you will. Our woman in the bush. It does. If you're that liberated with your clothing, I can see it's not far of a leap to be liberated
Starting point is 00:20:20 with everything in that realm. And why wouldn't you be? I do like the idea of investigating because in my mind, nudist colonies are always 60 plus. Yeah, it does feel a bit older. It feels a bit older. I think the under 60s, we've got the, not shame per se, but we've got the... Yeah, a little bit more fragile and delicate with it.
Starting point is 00:20:42 We're a bit more fragile. We're self-conscious, I would say. I don't know if I could actually genuinely go to one of those and be fully naked the entire time. I don't think I could do it. I remember my first time at a nudist beach in Spain. I was with a boyfriend. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Did you do it? No. I was so anxious. And I didn't know a soul on this beach. You know, clearly I didn't know anyone. We're in the middle of nowhere on this nudist beach. I only knew my boyfriend. He was, like, obviously already topless.
Starting point is 00:21:06 He's in his boardies. But he went, do you want to? Do you want to just try and take your top off and start with that? All right. He's like, and then maybe we can. He was very keen. But he also wanted to make sure I was on the same level. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:17 I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. I've never looked hotter, fitter. I would have been 21, Ducker. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I couldn't get my tits out then. Yeah. I don't know if I can do it now.
Starting point is 00:21:26 You don't know if you can do it in front of your work team at a nudist colony. With the work team. I forgot about that element. You forgot that me and Shy Guy and Babs are there. And I've even crossed that barrier. Now I've had a kid. I'm like, my body is a miracle. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:37 I've created life. I've fed. I've, you know, given life with the boobies and all that. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I still think I might have a bit of a... A bit of an issue with it. A bit of an issue. Yeah, until you're in that moment and you haveobies and all that. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I still think I might have a bit of a... A bit of an issue with it. A bit of an issue. Yeah, until you're in that moment and you have to take off your clothes.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Yeah. If you're one thing doing like, you know, you see those big nude swims or whatever, it's like, okay, we're going to jump in the water and jump out. And like, it's going to be quick and there's lots of people doing it, but just cruising around in a state. And why did they invite us? What made them listen to our show and go... We have had no communication with this woman prior.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Have you looked at her profile? Oh, I haven't. I thought there was a call in there as well. Maybe she was naked on the call. Do you arrive naked or do you get their clothes? I think you have to get their clothes and then have to do clothes. Because it's only nudist. I think once you cross the line, then it's nude.
Starting point is 00:22:17 But out of that, out of those bounds. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Her page is just a personal page. She doesn't have nude stuff on here. One of her last posts was the ham. The Christmas ham? I think she, oh, she won the, she won a meat thing. Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Won a meat raffle. Well, all right. So anyway, I thought I'd bring that to the team. Babs, how do you feel about a team nude session? Yeah, team nude retreat. I just feel like I'll be sick that day. Oh my God. I thought you were about to say you'll be sick when you see us.
Starting point is 00:22:44 When you see us naked. You went to a swingers cruise with your family. Well, I didn't. This is the. Oh, my God. I thought you were about to say you'll be sick when you see us. When you see us naked. You went to a swingers cruise with your family. Well, I didn't. This is the same thing, you know. It's just colleagues. Hey, it's a tax write-off. It is a tax write-off. It's a tax write-off.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Hey, look, I've just noticed sausage sizzle will be provided. Games and music on the lawn. You can relax in the pool. Hello. Yeah. Take selfies on the swing. What sort of swing is that? As if Shy Guy's not getting a couple of selfies on the lawn. You can relax in the pool. Hello. Yeah. Take selfies on the swing. Oh, okay. What sort of swing is that?
Starting point is 00:23:06 As if Shy Guy's not getting a couple of selfies on the swing. Babs only has nine Instagram posts. I'm smelling a tent. Her on the swing. Jess and Ducko. Bit of a phenomenon raging the planet right now. Started off, it's bad in Brazil and Queensland. It's all to do with cattle gallstones.
Starting point is 00:23:25 I love that that's what Queensland has in common with Brazil. Well, it's interesting because Brazil and Queensland are big meat producers. Yes, of course. Big agriculture. Big agriculture, exactly. And apparently, cow gallstones are so valued in China, they are so valued in Chinese medicine as they are used to treat strokes stemming from an increased problem of hypertension and obesity.
Starting point is 00:23:47 I didn't know cattle gallstones had any influence over the world at all. Isn't it funny because you think gallstones are a problem. So I love the first person who went, this problematic thing. This is good. That the body has just created. Let's crush it up and see if it can affect something else in a positive way. And it does. It's a hardened nugget of bile in the cow.
Starting point is 00:24:09 How the hell is that affecting a stroke for the good? I don't know, but apparently you can get multiple from one cow and they sell for $5,800 Australian for one. Pardon moi? $5,800 for Australian for one. That's why on the black market, because it's not illegal to sell these gallstones in Brazil or Australia. Of course.
Starting point is 00:24:26 However, it's illegal to go to someone's farm and take the cow's gallstones. And apparently in Brazil, it's running riot. Like there's people going to farms, tying up owners with their... What? With their grandsons and running off with $50,000 worth of stones and trying to smuggle it to China. I've heard of armed robbery, Ducco. I've not heard of armed robbery to get a gallstone.
Starting point is 00:24:47 I thought it was going to be so good. I thought you were going to do something with a cow pun there. Yeah, I was waiting for it. I was waiting for the moo. I haven't had my coffee yet. I've heard of armed robbery, not moo robbery. Nazi stuff. Yeah, see, that's why I bailed.
Starting point is 00:24:59 But hang on a minute. You can't. It's not like the milk of a cow that they're just always producing. No, you've got to go in and get it out. The cow has to be relatively, like, ill. Isn't a gallstone a bad thing that your body creates under distress, like a kidney stone? I would have thought so. So how do you know that the cow has, like, these robbers coming in?
Starting point is 00:25:16 That's a great question. How do they know that the cow, that one's got a gallstone? And also, how are they getting it? Do they have to kill the cow and cut it open? Well, I've got Shago to Google for me. How do you get a gallstone of a cow, Shaga? You should know this. With a procedure called ERCP, which stands... Don't worry about what it stands for. But are you cutting the cow open?
Starting point is 00:25:34 Or do you have to wait for the cow to pass it? It's the least invasive procedure. Okay. So you just kind of like a big needle. Oh, and suck it out of them. And extract it out, yeah. So there's symptoms. So it depends on the age and diet of the cattle, hence why maybe Brazil and Queensland it out of them. And extract it out, yeah. So there's symptoms. So it depends on the age and diet of the cattle,
Starting point is 00:25:46 hence why maybe Brazil and Queensland are good for them. And there's certain symptoms, weight loss, low milk yields, chronic diarrhoea. So if a cow is a bit crook. So these robbers are staking out the farm. Yes. Okay, Betsy over there, she's had diarrhoea for three days now. I reckon that could be a sign of a gallstone.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Exactly. Let's go in with our big needle. There's poor Betsy just trying to live her life. And suck out the gallstone. Yes, exactly. Does endoscopic mean through the... Endoscopic. It might be through the butt. Yes. That's how they do it. And scopic would infer
Starting point is 00:26:18 a scope. Going in and then out. So they've got someone who goes in there and goes through the back door in order to be able to get... Would you get into a life of crime, is that where you think your life's going to end up? But also, like, would you rather do that than rob a bank? You know, it just feels less hazardous. Oh, that's fair. Well, maybe not to the cow.
Starting point is 00:26:34 Well, not yet. Like, does the cow get told what's going on? I think the cows live. There's nothing here that says the cows die. Yeah, but I don't want in the middle of the night... I've got enough on my plate as a cow with a gallstone. So true. They're painful.
Starting point is 00:26:44 They are. Gall, kidney. I don't know which my plate as a cow with a gallstone. So true. They're painful. They are. Gall, kidney, I don't know which is worse, but they all feel bad. It's a hardened piece of rock that you have to then pass. Yeah. I don't need some rando coming in. And just fingers up there. Fingers up there. Scope up there.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Yeah, just trying to get everything they can. And you can be explaining to me this will help a stroke victim. I don't care. That's my gallstone. Yeah, I want to keep my gallstone if I can. I want to keep my gallstone. Or maybe they want them removed. But anyway. Maybe. My dad had kidney stones once. I think they might be help a stroke victim. I don't care. That's my gallstone. Yeah, I want to keep my gallstone if I can. I want to keep my gallstone. Or maybe they want them removed. But anyway.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Maybe. My dad had kidney stones once. I think they might be in a jar somewhere. Oh, Man 2, very painful. Very painful. So apparently it was running so rampant in Brazil and overseas that the Australians in Queensland saw it. Now Queensland is starting to get farm crime.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Wow. And this is happening. Oh my God, we need bodyguards for our cows. I know. You know that one white rhino that's left in Africa? He's got like four bodyguards on him at all times to deter poachers. Yeah. We're going to need that for our cattle.
Starting point is 00:27:35 We will. Oh, my God. So be warned. This is a thing. If you own a cow, you know what I mean, protect Betsy with your life. I think we've got to be looking at the cause, and we've got to be making sure our cows are eating well and not getting the gallstones in the first place.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Yeah, because it's on the owner to get it. Exactly. Let's keep our cows nice and healthy with their diet. And if cow gallstones are good for things like that in the future, like obesity and they can help with strokes and stuff, surely there's a better way we can get them out. Surely there's a better way. Maybe we could ask.
Starting point is 00:28:03 You know. Could you imagine doing time in prison, though? Like, what are you in here for? Robbery? Yeah, murder. What are you in here for? Shut my finger up a cow's butt and took the gallstones. Got some good ones, bud.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Tried to crush it up for Grandpa. Yeah, yeah. Got some good ones, though. Felt nice. Turn it up. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Alpha Bucks. Jess and Ducko's 10K Alpha Bucks
Starting point is 00:28:25 on hit. Yes, you have 30 seconds to answer 10 fantastic questions all starting with the same letter. We have to take your first answer. Can't use the same answer twice and if you're unsure of the question just say pass. We come back if there's time. We're playing for 10K. It's Wednesday. Come on. Our caller is Beth.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Come on, Bethy. Bethy. Hi, guys. Hi, Beth. Are you fired up for Come on, Bethy. Bethy. Bethy. Hi, guys. Hi, Beth. Bethy. Are you fired up for a Wednesday, Beth? Are you about to win $10,000? I would really like to win $10,000. Yes.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Good, good. Are you normally a good player at this game? I'm a 50-50. I'm either quite good or really bad. Hopefully it's one of her good days. Yes. What do you want to spend the money on? Well, my son's about to turn three,
Starting point is 00:29:09 so I'd like to do up his room plus among 50 other things, but I'm just like that would be nice to do. Oh, that's lovely. Is your son's name Carter? Yeah, Carl. Or Carl by any chance? It's actually his middle name. And his middle name's Carter or Carl?
Starting point is 00:29:25 Which one? Carter is his middle name. What are the odds of that? That is unbelievable from us. That's a needle thread. We didn't know it needed to be threaded. Carter's not even, he could have said Chris.
Starting point is 00:29:36 That's my brother's name. I know. I did a wedding the other day. We did the video guest book and one of the boys was Carter. He's in my head. He made an impression. One of them was Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys. That's fair. No, this is Carter
Starting point is 00:29:47 and now Carter is spelt with a C, Beth? Yes. She's got a traditional. We're going to win. Your letter is C. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Come on, Beth. What's your son's actual name? His first name? Henry. Henry. Alright, let's pretend his name's Carter. Henry Carter Beth. Henry.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Let's do it. Let's ride. Let's go for Carter's room. Yeah. For Carter's pretend his name's Carter. Henry Carter Beth. Henry. Let's do it. Let's ride. Let's go for Carter's room. Yeah. For Carter's room. Henry's room. Beth, starting with the letter C, we need you to name an actress. Puff.
Starting point is 00:30:19 A mathematical term. Oh, God. Puff. A girl's name. Claire. A video game. Cod. Something sweet.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Candy. A breakfast food. Cereal. A spice. Cumin. A Disney character. Cinderella. A zoo animal.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Oh, God. Pass. A brand. Calvin Klein. Calvin Klein. Calvin Klein it was in. That is correct. That was a good run. It was a very good run. Two passes to start.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Ended off with, look, it was six, but seven if you say Calvin Klein. It was definitely after the buzzer, but, you know, let's just say seven. I did all right. You did really well. An actress could have been Cate Blanchett, Cameron Diaz. A mathematical term. but, you know, let's just say seven for a bit of fun. I did all right. You did really well. An actress could have been Cate Blanchett, Cameron Diaz. A mathematical term. There's lots you can say here.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Centimeter, circumference, calculate, I would have accepted. Yeah, Beth, next time just say anything. Yeah, yeah. And then a zoo animal could have been a croc, a chimp, or a cheetah. Really, that was it. That were the only three you didn't get. Everything else you nailed. Mate, cod straight out of the gate. No one ever gets video games. Obviously, that was it. That was the only three you didn't get. Everything else you nailed. Mate, Cod straight out of the gate.
Starting point is 00:31:27 No one ever gets video games. Obviously, young Carter's played Cod. My husband. Monday Night Munchers is their time to play Cod. When you say that, is it him and his mates playing online together? Yeah. Yeah, the Monday Night Munchers. Yeah, the boys. Monday Night Munchers, that, Monday Night Munchers.
Starting point is 00:31:45 That's fun. And they've got their mics on. They're all talking. You go in there. I'll hang out here. They do that, and I go watch Criminal Minds. What a show, Criminal Minds. I love Medjipatinket.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Is there nothing sexier than seeing your man play COD with other men with a headset on? Oh, absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't go away if you hand $100 to spend at Endota. That is all yours. Thank you so much, absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't go away if you hand $100 to spend at Endota. That is all yours. Thank you so much, guys. Thanks, Beth. Thanks for getting involved in the show.
Starting point is 00:32:11 Tell Henry Carter happy birthday when it comes around from us. I will do. Thank you. Have a good one. Jess and Ducko. This is exciting. It's a new game for 2025. It's a new era.
Starting point is 00:32:22 A new era of Jess and Ducko has begun. It's called Say The Same. Shy Guy spent a lot of time on the TikTok over the holidays and he went, hey, I found a game a lot of people seem to be having a lot of fun with. Why don't you two try? We're going to say a word, any word at the same time. The aim of the game is to work step by step to try and jinx and say the same.
Starting point is 00:32:53 We only have five attempts at it. Five attempts to get on each other's wavelength, I guess. Don't use wavelength. All right, don't use that word. To get on each other's bandwidth and get to the same peak of the summit. It sounds confusing because we were confused at first when we heard it. But when you listen to it, it really isn't. It really isn't.
Starting point is 00:33:11 And Jess and I start off with our own words that we bring. Shark gives us a countdown. And then we're just going to keep finding it until we get the same one. And if we can't in five, then we fail. Let's see where our inspiration takes us to start off with. Now, what is it? A three, two, one? Shark, do you want to give us a three, two, one?
Starting point is 00:33:26 Yeah, all right. Three, two, one. Hole. Okay. You said bean. I said hole. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Now, this is where it gets tricky because it's like, are we going to the bean town or hole territory? Which way are we coming? There's a million ways we could go. I'm trying to get one. And I appreciate you talked about holes this morning, but we talk about bean a lot. We do talk about bean.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Coffee bean. Three, two, one. Kidney. I thought you just said coffee because I wasn't going to do it. That's just cheating. I love that you've gone to kidney bean. I love a kidney bean. I'm a big fan of cannellini, but I knew you'd never say cannellini, so I came over to
Starting point is 00:34:04 coffee town. Coffee and kidney. We've got it. I'm a big fan of cannellini, but I knew you'd never say cannellini, so I came over to Coffeytown. Coffee and kidney. Coffee and kidney. We've got it. Don't get on me. Hang on. What do you mean we've got it? Put it together.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Coffee and kidney. How's that put it together? Three, two, one. Pooh. Three. No. No. Coffee makes you poo. Bro, kidneys have nothing to do with poo.
Starting point is 00:34:24 Come on, man. Kidneys do urine. Coffee does poo-poo. Just to recap, we're at poo and wee. That was so close. And how many have we got? We got two more attempts? Come on.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Wait, stop. Every time you do this, you make me nervous. Because I know you've got it. The more you point at me and tell me I've got it. Poo and wee. There's only one place it can go. Don't cheat. Oh, I didn't mean it like that.
Starting point is 00:34:49 No, that's cheating. I actually meant, like, the game can go, but now I feel like I have cheated. That was an inadvertent cheat. Aw, because now I know. You know, but I didn't mean it like that. I meant there's only... Crap.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Just give us a three, two, one. Three, two, one. Toilet. Toilet, yeah. We got there. We got there. I didn't mean it like that. I meant, crap, just give us a three, two, one. Three, two, one. Toilet. We got there. We got there. I wasn't cheating. Jess just can't help herself with a spoiler. You know where we're going.
Starting point is 00:35:14 You know what we're doing. It just goes like on her level. You know what I'm thinking right now. I'm like, oh, no. What else could there have been to say? That's how the game's played. That's how the game's played. That was a quick round. It was quick. Do we have time for another? That's how the game's played. That's how the game's played. That was a quick round.
Starting point is 00:35:26 It was quick. Do we have time for another one? Yeah, we can do another one. I didn't mean to. We'll do another one. We'll try and be more rapid with it. All right. Three, two, one.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Rice. Water bottle. Ooh. Water bottle and rice. Okay. Okay. All right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:41 I think I know. Yep. Okay. Let's go. Three, two, one. Suck. Did you say dinner? I said suck. You're I think I know. Yep. Okay, let's go. Three, two, one. Suck. Did you say dinner? I said suck.
Starting point is 00:35:49 You're like, water bottle. I know what you said. We jumped to each other's lane. Okay, all right. See if I don't carry on. We just flip-flop it all over. What did we have? Carry on then.
Starting point is 00:35:59 We had rice, water, suck, and dinner. Dinner and suck. What does that mean? Yeah. Dinner and suck. Dinner and suck. What does that mean? Dinner and suck? Dinner and suck. Three, two, one. Kiss. Just panic.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Soup. How do you suck a dinner? It's soup. Mate, you are just making me look horrible in this game. Because they couldn't be more obvious. Two more attempts. Okay, so what have we got now? What have we got now?
Starting point is 00:36:23 Soup. Kiss and soup. Kiss and soup. Oh, okay. Kiss and now? Kiss and soup. Kiss and soup. Oh, okay. Kiss and soup. Kiss and soup. Kiss and soup. Kiss and soup.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Three, two, one. Tongue. French onion. We're close. Thank you. Thank you. What did you say? He said, he said, what did you say?
Starting point is 00:36:41 I said tongue. Kiss and soup. Bro though, bro. French onion. French onion and tongue. Okay. We've got one more attempt. Okay, yeah, let's tongue. Kiss and suit. Bro, though. French onion. French onion and tongue. Okay. We've got one more attempt. Okay, yeah, let's go.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Let's go. One more attempt. Three, two, one. France. French kiss. No. It's almost there. I thought it was France.
Starting point is 00:36:58 French onion and kiss. France. We're in France. Yeah, that's fair. Either one would have worked there. They both were correct. How scary is it when someone looks at you and goes, get on it.
Starting point is 00:37:07 You know it. It makes me live. It makes me live. I just hope my brain just freezes. When you're at the gym and your trainer's behind you going, come on. Don't you perform better? That's what I was trying to do because I know what I'm doing. Jess and Ducco. Did you know, so you know how TikTok
Starting point is 00:37:23 went offline in the States for about 48 hours? It was the worst 48 hours on the planet. Worst 48 hours. When all the Americans were able to jump back on, my God, did they not start posting with a vengeance? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I learned this little tidbit from someone who was like, guys, I've been sitting on this secret. I didn't get to tell you beforehand. I want to reveal this to you.
Starting point is 00:37:41 Because they did all the TikTok secrets revealing before it went off. Totally. Whereas this one creator was like, this isn't even my secret, but people need to know. Okay. I didn't post my video before the blackout, but now we're back. I can share it with you. Did you know the whole you should be walking 10,000 steps a day
Starting point is 00:37:58 is a myth? What? Yeah, why is it 10,000 actually? Because you do 10,000 steps a day, you get Qantas points if you link it to your watch or whatever it is or your Fitbit. Yeah, we have really run with 10,000 steps is what the optimal, healthy daily intake for stepping should be. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:38:16 It wasn't from scientists. No health researchers came out with that back in the day. It was invented, I guess you would say, by a Japanese clock company called Yamasa to align with the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. How does that work? So they were launching a new pedometer, yeah? And obviously a pedometer tracks your steps, yeah?
Starting point is 00:38:39 So they were trying to spruik this device. You should buy this device. It's great for counting your steps. And they made up the idea, try and get to 10,000. Just like, that's the goal. It just felt like a nice round number. That's the metric. Apparently, in Japanese language, when it's written down, the number 10,000 kind of looks like a person walking.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Like they're in their script. That's so funny. And then everyone else has run with it and gone, 10,000's good for looks like a person walking. Like they're in their script. That's so funny. And then everyone else has run with it and gone, 10,000's good for you, hit your steps. Since 1964, the world has run with it. Like how many instances do you hear of people saying, aim for 10,000, it's all over pop culture. I feel like it is in medical journals and doctors will say 10,000, 10,000.
Starting point is 00:39:23 It's the metric to go by. I'm looking at my steps on average a day. I mean, I'm will say 10,000, 10,000. It's the metric to go by. I'm looking at my steps on average a day. I mean, I'm doing about 17,000. I'm doing all right. Matt, you're doing more words than the average person and more steps. How many steps are you guys doing? I know Babs does, what's that running app you do, Strava? I don't have an app or a pedometer.
Starting point is 00:39:38 You would know. And I can't imagine I'm doing many. Steps count as low. Sometimes it gets to 9 o'clock and I go, I haven't even been to the bathroom all morning. Just holding everything in. Unless you can count me getting my coffee, I'm not getting my steps in of a morning. That is interesting though because I did always wonder. I just thought science was behind the 10,000.
Starting point is 00:39:56 So how's this? A study published this week. All right. So that 10,000 came out of the 1964 Olympics. Yeah. A study published this week by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Yes. That feels like a legit place for information to, you know, originate.
Starting point is 00:40:11 Hopkins knows. Guess what the actual number for a healthy lifestyle. Oh, this is good. To start reducing the risk of dying prematurely of any cause, what they've come up with as the ideal number. Is it north or south of 10? Just give me that. Way south.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Oh. Bro, way south. Okay. 5,000? 4,000. Really? Which I almost don't want to be telling people. No, you don't, because that's just going to promote laziness.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Living a more sedentary lifestyle is not good in any regard. No, no, no. But for 10,000 to be touted as, oh, that's the way to reduce heart disease, just try and get four. Really? And apparently, according to Johns Hopkins, that's what we should be aiming for. Hey, 10 would be amazing. 8,000 says Shy Guy, 17 says Ducko.
Starting point is 00:40:51 That's fantastic. That's even better. Yeah. But for all the benefits that they did say 10,000 will get you, you actually only need to do 4,000. May even lower the risk of Alzheimer's and dementia later in life. You know, I'm concerned about that. Is it like though?
Starting point is 00:41:05 $4,000 must be achievable for JFART. Yeah. Is it like your friends though, when you know you invite friends to a party, some are always early, some are always late. So you need to tell them the appropriate time, which will get people spot on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Is it like, you know, people are going to do less than $10,000. You know, some are going to do more, but if we give it $10,000, people at least get $4,000 to $6,000. That's not bad. We are a fatter planet than ever before. And I say that globally. So maybe still aiming for 10 is better. There you go.
Starting point is 00:41:29 But maybe too many people are getting depressed. So they're not even making 10. I want to track your step count for a day. Can you wear one of my watches? I've got about three. You do have a better one. I just want to track your steps. No, because you'll get the alert.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Because it's all linked to your phone, right? You'll get the alert. He's been sedentary for a while. You might need to call an ambulance. Caution. Resting heart rate high. Maybe dead. I've just been watching Grace and Frankie season six.
Starting point is 00:41:51 I don't even know what that is. I don't even know. Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlinson? No. Oh, it's a great show. Jess and Daco. I reckon producer Shy Guy's having a glass of milk. Glass of milk and a little biscuit, aren't you?
Starting point is 00:42:02 My milk, my milk, my milk. Shy Guy. I'm so excited. I. Shy Guy Dips. I'm so excited. I want Shy Guy's box. Yes. It is time. Everyone's favourite Wednesday segment.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Shy Guy Dips. The cereal edition. Cereal edition for 2025. We exhausted the biscuit aisle last year. So now we're dipping a big old spoon into a big old bowl of cereal. Oh, yeah. 13, 10, 16. Always need first cab off the rank. You will get a clue now and then a big old bowl of cereal. Oh, yeah. 13, 10, 6, 8, always need first cab off the rank. You will get a clue now and then a clue when you call through.
Starting point is 00:42:33 And if you were able to decipher shy guy in ease, put all the clues together and correctly guess the cereal in front of him, not only do you win a packet of said cereal, unopened, of course, you get a very exclusive fridge magnet. You become part of the fridge magnet club. Absolutely. We call them the fridges. The fridges. The fridges.
Starting point is 00:42:48 You know, they love to be part of the show. They do. They do. We've had a couple of DMs, people sending us photos of them standing in front of their fridge with their fridge magnet. With their magnet, because it takes up the whole fridge. Very proud fridges. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:58 If you've got a big old dent on your fridge, or maybe your kids keep putting their fingerprints all over it, this magnet would be great for that. Whole fridge is covered. Whole fridge is covered. Let alone the glory of being an elite pool of people who have won Shy Guy Dibs. I remember last year this was worth $25,000 towards the end of the year. So this year anything's possible. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Now Shy Guy has a new box in front of him. Oh. First clue, please, Mr. Guy. It's sticky. Is this the same one from last week? Yeah. Is that what you said last week? Multiple cereals.
Starting point is 00:43:29 Absolutely. We're replaying clues, are we? Week two win. This is grim. Hey, 13, 10, 60, sticky lovers. We'll get you on. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko.
Starting point is 00:43:45 I reckon producer Sean Guy's having a glass of milk. Glass of milk and a little biscuit, aren't you? My milk, my milk, my milk. Shy Guy dips. I'm so excited. I want Shy Guy's box. Bigger corns to flake, if you will. Oh!
Starting point is 00:43:58 Because in 2025, we're dipping cereal. Yep. Shy Guy's going to give you a series of clues. If you can put them all together and work out the cereal in front of him, you win said box of cereal. You win Shy Guy's box of cereal plus a fridge magnet. And the glory. Okay, first clue, unfortunately, was the same clue as last week.
Starting point is 00:44:16 It's Sticky. Sticky. Shy Guy's lifted this year. John. John was very quick on the phone, though. He was. Good morning, John. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:44:24 How are you? Yeah, fantastic. John Boy, we are Good morning. How are you? Yeah, fantastic. John Boy, we are going to give you a supplementary clue as you are the first caller. You can see through this one, John. Oh, hello. Okay. You can see through it, John.
Starting point is 00:44:36 What is it? Sticky. It would be honey pillow crisp. I was going to say honey snacks, but they're discontinued. Oh, the crispics. I love crispics. Crispics are fantastic, and you can see through them. And they are sticky.
Starting point is 00:44:50 Yep. But it's not that. And you've done that. You can't have done much more, John. No, no. You've done everything you needed to do. What a call. I want to contest it.
Starting point is 00:44:57 Come back next week. Oh, he's made me hungry for crispics. I know. Did he say they're discontinued? Well, I think he said something else was discontinued. Oh, okay, good. Similar. Oh, gotcha, gotcha.
Starting point is 00:45:04 We go to Vanessa on 131060. Hello, Vanessa. Morning, I think you said something else was discontinued. Oh, okay, good. Similar. Oh, gotcha, gotcha. We go to Vanessa on 131060. Hello, Vanessa. Morning, Jess. Morning. Oh, Vanessa. Good morning to you. Can you take two steps to the left, please? You're breaking up. Ah, really? There you are. You sound great. Sticky. You can see through it. How about another
Starting point is 00:45:20 clue, Vanessa? Very crunchy, Vanessa. I reckon it might be crunchy golden flakes with the honey on them. Crunchy golden flakes with the honey on them. Crunchy golden flakes. Is that what they're called? I don't know. Yeah, something like that.
Starting point is 00:45:34 The problem is I don't actually know the names of all the cereals. So when people say this, I'm like, I think I know what you mean. That's a wordy box. Yeah. I'm sure it's on the cereal aisle. It's not the one in front of Shy Guy. It's not Crunchy Golden Flakes. Today, unfortunately.
Starting point is 00:45:48 We go to Samantha. Good morning, Samantha. Hi. Samantha, we've heard it's sticky. You can see through it. Yep. What was the other thing you said? I can't remember.
Starting point is 00:45:58 I just got caught up in the Crunchy Golden Flakes. You said something else. What was your third clue? Do you remember? No, no one remembers. What's the next clue? No, I don't remember. Give us another clue.
Starting point is 00:46:10 I don't want to give it away yet. Okay. The logo's gold on the box. Gold logo, Sam. I'm going to say Nutri-Grain. Hey, did you say Nutri-Grain? Yeah. Yeah!
Starting point is 00:46:30 Yes, it is. You really took that last clue and ran with it. Yeah, what were you going to say? Obviously, you called in with an idea. Yeah, I was going to say Milo, but then when I said Milo, I thought, hang on a minute, that's not see-through, and then I went to my next thought, which was Nutri-Grain. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:46:44 Process of elimination. Well, that's a great pivot. And also, Samantha, that's not see-through. And then I went to my next thought, which was Nutri-Grain. Process of elimination. Well, that's a great pivot. And also, Samantha, you obviously missed it last week. Milo was the cereal played last week. It was. Hey, Samantha, that's so exciting. You've won a fridge magnet. You've won a box of Nutri-Grain.
Starting point is 00:46:58 And now we get all our winners to do. You've got to come on nice and clearly and say, Hi, I'm Samantha, and I'm so excited to win Shy Guy's Box. When you're ready. Hi, I'm Samantha, and I'm so excited to win Shy Guy's Box. Yeah! Jess and Daco. Right now, Daco, I just had a moment yesterday where I went,
Starting point is 00:47:17 oh, my God, I look like such a creep. Oh. Such a creep at a kid's playground. And I went, this is not somewhere we should be activating creep mode. It's not good. Creep mode at a kid's playground. It's not good. It's happened to Shago once or twice and it's not good.
Starting point is 00:47:34 Now he's on a list. I'm joking. You don't want to be on that list. I'm joking. Are we though? But I am. I'm trying to do, while we're still enjoying some nice weather, the patches of nice weather we are having on and off days,
Starting point is 00:47:44 I like to take my daughter Lucia out to a different playground. I call it tour de playground. Just for sanity for mum. Just for sanity for mum. You know, a bit of mental stimulation. We get out and about, see the local community. And I'd imagine because you see so many playgrounds as a parent, as a new parent, like there's playgrounds and then there's playgrounds.
Starting point is 00:48:03 Amen, brother. Because I've got a one-year-old. So what playground might appeal to a five or six-year-old? Not a probes for the one-year-old. And she's an adventurous little thing. So I need something that's a little bit more contained. So I'm looking for the best toddler playground. She can't neck herself off too many points of access.
Starting point is 00:48:21 It's like the equivalent of a small dog park and a big dog park. You know, this is small dogs only. Amen. It's what you need. This is small dogs only. This one we went to, I won't name names because I don't want to shame the local council, but Jesus, it was on a, someone sent me a list that someone else had made a blog, Great Toddler Playground.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Okay. You should have seen the ladder that Lucia had to climb up to get to the slide. I went, I know I'm not the fittest person in the world, but I can barely do that ladder. How's the one-year-old meant to do it? How high are we talking? Not particularly high, but it was so, the slits to put your hands and feet was centimetres wide.
Starting point is 00:48:59 I went, how are you actually meant to grapple this thing? Did she get up? Well, I kind of boosted her up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then the gap from ladder to ledge to actually get onto the playground equipment was humongous. I went, she's going to fall straight through this. I didn't write it.
Starting point is 00:49:14 I want to write to someone. Didn't write on that playground. Dangerous for kids. No. So it was dangerous. So I thought, let's get away from the equipment. Let's go play in the bushes. Oh, yeah, that'll do it.
Starting point is 00:49:23 Doesn't sound great, does it? Jess is, where's Jess? She's lurking over play in the bushes. Oh, yeah, that'll do it. It doesn't sound great, does it? Where's Jess? She's lurking over there in the bushes with her child. I saw another mom doing kind of like hide and seek, you know, and her kid was a little bit older, so she's crouching behind a tree and she'd be like, where am I? And the little boy would run over. I thought, that's cute.
Starting point is 00:49:40 So I waited for them to leave so we could have access to the bushes while everyone was playing on the slide. Great. We could have access to the bushes while everyone was playing on the slide. Great. We could have access to the bushes. Bush access. We got VIP bush access. And Lutie loves nature, so I thought, let's get in amongst the nature. Unfortunately, I forgot her limited language skills.
Starting point is 00:49:59 She didn't really understand the concept of, I'm going to hide now, come find me. So she just lost mummy. So you ran away. Yeah, mummy's hiding behind a hedge. To try and encourage her, get away from the danger of the playground. Yeah. Follow me.
Starting point is 00:50:13 And I was like, where am I? And I hid behind this big shrub and was like peering out and trying to keep my eye on her. But then I went, oh, she can see me. So I ducked behind the bush. She just starts crying. Please tell me she started crying. Well, probably way too long past. Maybe 60 seconds past, and I'm like, oh, crap, where is she?
Starting point is 00:50:33 So I'm peering behind these bushes and trees. She's hiding from you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She'd taken off back to the danger ladder, and there I am. What did you expect? She wanted to go on the fun playground. There's mum. Mum's taking me to a bush and hiding.
Starting point is 00:50:45 She thinks mum's doing a wee in the bush. Mum's popping a squat again. I wonder if that's what it looked like. So I'm peering behind these shrubs and then new families were arriving and here's me. I made eye contact with the dad and I was like, I just look like some creepy woman hiding behind a shrub and there's an unattended one-year-old.
Starting point is 00:51:04 Your toddler's falling off the slide. Trying to walk off the slide. Knowing you, though, you'd be really awfully cheerful and not, you know. She did not engage in my game. Exactly. I was not in sync with the game. I'll tell you what, I packed up my toys and we left. Giddy up.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Welcome to it. It's 8.37. It is a Wednesday. It is. And you might think that is worth celebrating. Unfortunately, according to our mates over in France,
Starting point is 00:51:31 your kin. Yes, my people. We've had a report from a Frenchman. He is the chief financial officer. That's my cousin. Yep. Jean-Jacques Guignoy. Ah, hello, baby.
Starting point is 00:51:46 Jean-Jacques, good to see you. I hope I pronounced that correctly. Nailed it. Thank you. He works for a champagne company. Chief financial officer. CFO. Jean-Jacques has said.
Starting point is 00:51:55 Yes. Champagne sales are down. Oh. Nearly 10% last year. Globally, shipments from France, because obviously to be called Champagne, you have to originate from the region in France called Champagne. Specifically, that's where those grapes come from. Sales are down globally.
Starting point is 00:52:15 And Jean-Jacques has come out and faced the media going, I've got to comment on this. I know why. Champagne is quite linked with celebration and happiness. Maybe the current global situation, be it geopolitical or macroeconomic... Oh, great words. Big words. Sorry, we're the ABC.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Does not lead people to cheer up and think to open a bottle of champagne. Everyone's doom and gloom. Everyone's a little bit depresso. And it could also be because everything's so expensive, no one can afford to celebrate. That's true. It's a double-pronged attack. So's a little bit depresso. And it could also be because everything's so expensive, no one can afford to celebrate. That's true. It's a double-pronged attack.
Starting point is 00:52:48 So we've got nothing to celebrate. We're not celebrating enough. And the Cosi Lives crisis means we're not reaching for the champagne aisle in Dan Murphy's and picking up a bottle of our favourite bubbles. That's depressing. It is depressing. So what we wanted to do this morning, this beautiful morning,
Starting point is 00:53:03 Yeah. at J&D HQ. Yeah. Is find the things worth celebrating. Give us something to celebrate. Give us something to celebrate. We want to get you on the air. Yes.
Starting point is 00:53:12 13, 10, 60. Yes. And Shy Guy has just said, you know what, let's give everyone a bottle of champagne. Who does? Are we giving everyone a bottle of champagne if you celebrate? Yeah, why not? Okay. Celebrate something.
Starting point is 00:53:21 You can always text a text line as well, but we won't give you champagne if you text a text line. No, no, we can't be doing that. Yeah, but 13, 10, 60, what are you celebrating? What should we celebrate? Yep. You know, everyone waits for an anniversary, a proposal, the birth of the first child, the job promotion.
Starting point is 00:53:35 Yeah, that's worth celebrating, absolutely. Yeah. But what about those mundane everyday things that maybe don't get the fanfare that they should? We'll have a champagne shower together. Let's have a champagne shower. Darko, it's a side hustle. I'd love to start.
Starting point is 00:53:47 My dog's urinary tract has been less inflamed and her UTI is under control. Champagne showers. Yeah. You get a bottle of champagne, baby. Thank you. Yes. Can I celebrate something? Of course.
Starting point is 00:53:59 You know, I started a side hustle. I'm a celebrant. Yes, yes, yes. I had someone book me for my first interstate and pay for travel. You get champagne to celebrate. She's going to the Barossa, baby. Oh, the Barossa. I know, right?
Starting point is 00:54:15 Nice. That's really nice. Did you tell them I need to come with you as well? I'll tell. I'm going to need someone to set up the speaker. And you're the kind of guy. I'm the guy. Angus might want to come, but no, no. No, no, no. Ducko's my tech the kind of guy. I'm the guy. Angus might want to come, but no, no.
Starting point is 00:54:25 Ducko's my tech guy. Shy guy. What can we pop a bottle for you, son? So, last week we had all the storms. It knocked out all the streetlights in my suburb and on the Facebook group, the electrician's not going to fix it for two more weeks. So there's a light outside my house and it bleeds through, so that's not getting fixed.
Starting point is 00:54:42 So that's good, because I don't like the light. Fancy, yeah. Where's the good in. So that's good, because I don't like the light. Fancy, yeah, where's the good in that? It's good because I don't want to see light through my room at night. So you're telling me up until this point, it's been quite annoying you. The power outage has actually been beneficial. Two more weeks of sleep!
Starting point is 00:54:58 Okay. Thank you. You get it, you weirdo. Babs, you got one quickly before we go to a song and get the rice cookers on. Yeah, I'm finally getting my hair done today. Oh, I was going to it, you weirdo. Babs, you got one quickly before we go to a song. Get the rice cookers on. Yeah, I'm finally getting my hair done today. Oh, I was going to say I needed it. Your roots are shocking. You're lucky we're going to get the roots.
Starting point is 00:55:13 13, 10, 60. We'll have a champagne shower with you. I want to play this song now, but. I don't see why you can't. Did you say no, should I go? No. He's in a mood. Big guy's in a mood. Put it in a mood. Big guy's in a mood.
Starting point is 00:55:25 Put it in. Put it in. 13, 10, 60. We want to celebrate things that aren't usually celebrated. We're going to pop a bottle and get you a bottle of champagne if you join us next. Oh, I'm going to keep talking. We've got 17 seconds. I didn't realise how long the intro was.
Starting point is 00:55:38 You can also text us 048881069 if you can't jump on the phone. Yep. But you have an opportunity next. It's Wednesday. We're alive. We're here. We're doing it. We just gave away a box of Nutri-Grain and dip.
Starting point is 00:55:49 Life's good, baby. LMFAO, it's champagne. Shower. Shake that bottle and make it. LMFAO, champagne showers, baby. Woo. Shake that bottle and make it. One of the great average songs.
Starting point is 00:56:05 That's fantastic. What's Red Fu doing these days? He had such a moment. Oh, he really did. Party rockers. I hope he's living off the royalties of that song. Me too. Because your cousin over in France, Jean-Jacques,
Starting point is 00:56:19 he's the CFO for a champagne company, commenting on the total number of champagne shipments from France declining globally nearly 10%. And Jean-Jacques has said that's because everyone's depresso. Yeah. Champagne is linked with celebrating. Imagine Jean-Jacques, everyone depresso. Everyone is depresso. Just have a baguette on some brie.
Starting point is 00:56:42 Maybe you would cheer up. You happy? Maybe the current global situation, he says, be it geopolitical or macroeconomic, it does not lead people to being cheerful and thus reaching for a bottle of champagne. And life's expensive. We know that. It's hard. We know that.
Starting point is 00:56:56 Cozzy leaves is getting us all down. So here at Jess and Ducko HQ, we want to celebrate the little things going on in your world. Yep. Shy Guy said, I'm going to go to Dan Murphy's right now and buy some bottles of champagne. Champagne for every caller that calls in, every rice cooker on 131060 and tells us what they're celebrating. That's right. We want to throw you a champagne shower. We're going to throw you a champagne shower.
Starting point is 00:57:15 We're going to shake that bottle and make it for you, Michelle. Good morning. Hey, how you going? Yeah, we're so good, Mish. What's going on in your world that deserves a bottle of champagne? Oh, just, you know, I'm just so happy to get on the radio, so I'm happy to celebrate with a bottle of champagne. I love it.
Starting point is 00:57:36 She's got through, Babs. She's done it. She's having a champagne shower. She got through the gatekeeper, that is, Babs. That's yours. that's yours. That's yours. Thank you. You're so welcome. Thank you for getting involved in the show. Thanks for listening.
Starting point is 00:57:52 What a queen. I love it. It's that easy, Ducco. It is that easy. Rachel, what are we champagne showering you for? Hello, Rach. Rachel. You got us there? Hi, Rachel. What are Rachel. You got us there? Hello.
Starting point is 00:58:06 Hi, Rachel. What are we celebrating for you, doll? All three of my kids slept through for the first time in like six months. Get her a shower. Yeah. Yes. Oh, was it a great sleep? Yeah, until 5.30 when I wake up.
Starting point is 00:58:26 Body clock. Body clock. We'll still give it to you anyway. We'll take it. Rachel, have a bottle of champagne on us. Jason, good morning. Morning, team. How are we?
Starting point is 00:58:34 Good, mate. Bonjour. Happy Wednesday. Happy hump day, Ash. Happy hump day indeed. What would you like a champagne shower for? I'm just champagne showers just due to the fact that my son had his operation yesterday. They had adenoids, grommets and tonsils.
Starting point is 00:58:49 And the doctor comes out into recovery and says he's impressed that it was to the point where it was one of the most... It's the most impressive cases that he's actually done where his adenoids and grommets, so his tonsils, were basically non-existent. So he couldn't believe how he's been breathing and sleeping. Oh, my God. That's the deserving of a pop Wednesday, you know? Pop it for Jason and his boys. That's wild. Yeah, that is wild.
Starting point is 00:59:14 And it all went well, so that's good to know. Excellent to know. That deserves a bottle of champagne. Someone tell Jean-Jacques that the rice cookers have things to celebrate. We're here celebrating. Melissa, good morning. Good morning. Mel, we would love to pop a bottle for you, babe.
Starting point is 00:59:27 What's going on in your world? In my 50s, I decided just two weeks ago to rent my house out, move states, move towns with no plan, just to have an adventure. So I think I need to celebrate. Yes. That's exciting. A little gabby, a little adventure. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:59:46 And it's working out well for you so far? It is. I have gone from Devonport in Tassie to Port Macquarie. Oh, my God. What a move. Beautiful part of the world. Enjoy that one. Excellent stuff.
Starting point is 00:59:56 And now you've got a bottle of champagne. You've got a bottle of champagne. If you're in the Port Mac area, that's for Mel. Share it with Mel. We go to Ash on 131060. Hello, Ash. Hi, guys. We're trying to rectify champagne sales dipping, Ash,
Starting point is 01:00:09 because people allegedly have nothing to celebrate, but you do. I do. I've got something for you today. I'm dropping my car off after having no air conditioning since November, and they're going to fix it for me. Yeah! You know what your air con can keep nice and chilled for you? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:27 A bottle of champagne. Oh, yeah. Keep it in the car now. Yes. Keep it in the car. Oh, my God. It's going to be upwards of 38 in some parts of the state today. Ash needs air con.
Starting point is 01:00:37 I do. It'd be nice to have it today, but we'll take it. We'll take it. It's better than nothing. Take it. Enjoy our bottle of champagne on Shy Guy. Thanks, guys. Thank you. See, plenty of champagne on Shire, guys. Thanks, guys. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:00:46 I'll see you. Plenty of things to celebrate. Can you write a letter to Jean-Jacques and say, we've got plenty to celebrate. We're going to keep the champagne business afloat. We're going to keep it afloat. Just here. Well done, everyone.
Starting point is 01:00:56 Jess and Ducco. This time yesterday, we brought you a story from the Australian Restaurant and Cafe Association that came out and basically warned us that a cost of coffee could reach double digits. In some areas, it is very area dependent by the end of the year. Like a small flat white could be $10. That's right. They were citing that if beans go up, well, then the customer is going to have to feel that pinch.
Starting point is 01:01:19 Yep. Middleman of cafes and restaurants where we like to procure our favourite beverage, are going to have to do something to meet us in the middle. So we wanted to get it from the horse's mouth or the barista's mouth, so to speak. Someone who was dealing with the bean on the daily to see, is this imminent? How big's the markup? What are we doing with coffee? Are they going up?
Starting point is 01:01:40 Could they see this happening? So we go to Nicola, the owner of Lord's Cafe, a staple. An institution. One of the great cafes. That's right. She joins us right now to Nicola, the owner of Lord's Cafe, a staple. An institution. One of the great cafes. That's right. She joins us right now. Nicola, hello. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:01:49 Good morning. Nicola, first and foremost, are you experiencing a pinch when it comes to the price of beans? Oh, it's, you know, the media is very extreme. Yes. We are. We are, Nicola. Not media is very extreme. Yes. We are. We are. Not you guys. No.
Starting point is 01:02:08 No. You're talking facts here. But I've seen one saying a small flat white is going to be $12.50. Yes. That is a lot. That's fair. Yeah. That is extreme.
Starting point is 01:02:19 And I guess we see it on both sides because we've got the coffee roastery and then we've got the cafes too. But we did do a price increase on the 6th of Jan. New year, new price. New year, new price, you know, after all the surcharges. So what's your small flat white now that you guys do? We do a $5.50 small flat white, but we run a double ristretto, which is a double shot of coffee, just a bit, you know, a bit shorter.
Starting point is 01:02:54 So I guess you could say a double shot flat white, we're doing $5.50. Yeah. More punch. More punch for your buck. Yeah. But it's not the bean price that's the issue. Oh, what is it? Everything else.
Starting point is 01:03:08 The wages, which, of course, like getting skilled baristas to be able to – you've got to get turnover in coffee, but you need baristas that will work hard, and they need to be paid right. It's an art form. Truly. They're artists. Is there a base wage or a set wage, like a trade almost, that you pay baristas or is it just cafe dependent?
Starting point is 01:03:30 Well, they have the minimum but we pay well above that because we expect our coffee to go out fast. As you said, it's an institution so we're really hands-on with our training and make sure our baristas, you know, see it more than just making a coffee. It's making people's day and it's that little cup of joy. Yeah, it is. And it always tastes better when someone else has made it for you and a skilled barista.
Starting point is 01:03:57 And that's the sentiment people are going, at a cost of living crisis, you can do it at home. I don't do it at home. No. I'm not a trained, skilled barista, but it's more than that. It's the connection. It's the community. It's feeling like one thing from my day is executed to perfection.
Starting point is 01:04:13 Yes. And that's because it's come from the hands of someone who cares. Now, Nicola, can you – look, I don't want you to – you don't have to reveal anything you don't want to here, but in terms of what you're actually making per cup of coffee as you as lords, can you go into the details of maybe how much it is versus how much you actually make per cup? Most cafes, a shot of coffee will be about $0.30 to $0.50. But it's then the milks. Yeah, then I want
Starting point is 01:04:39 macadamia coconut. Yeah, so I think that $10 price is realistic if you're getting a large almond caramel cappuccino. Yes. Yes. You deserve a shot. Because it's the additions that are out of our hands. Yes. I see.
Starting point is 01:04:55 Because from the coffee roaster's side of things, we've always been buying, a lot of places have been buying specialty coffee for a while. And that price hasn't increased dramatically. Yeah, right. There are weather conditions that are changing the price and it is at an all-time high, but it's not as dramatic on our part as what it seems. It's more of the milks. Like we're not getting alternative milks for much cheaper than what you buy at a supermarket.
Starting point is 01:05:23 At a supermarket. Are you seeing more people go to long blacks or espressos to eliminate the milk component? Oh, it's hard in this time of year because New Year, new coffee order. Yeah, of course. Of course. That lasts about a month and then everyone goes back to OG. Go back to OG. They forget about it.
Starting point is 01:05:41 Nicola, before we let you go, it's been very well said. It's insightful. I want to know, this is mainly for my wife asking this, and I don't know if lords actually do this, but why most cafes, when you get an iced coffee, you can never get it a small. It's always a set size. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:05:56 See, we're different. I just drink coffee how I want them. Yeah. So we do our iced drinks in hot coffee cups, you know, and some people hate that. But to us, it's all about the ratio, right? That's it. That's what I would have thought.
Starting point is 01:06:11 But isn't it funny, Nicola? Yeah, we've talked about the vessel changing the taste for the individual. So I appreciate it. If you hand me a hot cup, well, what I think a hot drink lives in, I think it would mess with my brain too. That's interesting. You've had some customers go, no, no, no, that's for hot drinks only. You go, a cup's a cup.
Starting point is 01:06:30 But it's not our customers. It's, you know, the trends of like showing everyone that you're drinking an iced drink. That's a social media clown. Yeah, yeah. But for us, it's all about the coffee. It's get in, get your coffee quick. It's going to taste the same every time. There you go.
Starting point is 01:06:49 I love it. Last one from me, Nicola. Which country is doing the best beans at the moment? We're running a Papua New Guinea. Hello, PNG beans. So we're doing Brazil and Papua New Guinea blend. And the Papua New Guinea is just so smooth. And, yeah, so that's what we're – yeah, we've done a change in the past six months. And it's just tasting better than ever.
Starting point is 01:07:16 P&G. And I'm sure our customers would say. And it's closer. And it's less affected by the weather conditions. And China has also jumped in on the specialty coffee scene. So that's making it a bit harder to get some sorts of beans because obviously huge country. They're taking all our PNG beans.
Starting point is 01:07:35 They're taking our PNG beans. Don't you take our beans, China. Or the Colombian or whatever. But the PNG is a bit smoother than the Colombian beans. There you go. You heard it here first. Ask your local. Yeah, I think it's a coffee in the morningian beans. There you go. You heard it here first. Ask your local. Yeah, I think it's a coffee in the morning.
Starting point is 01:07:47 It's an art form. It's a full industry. Nicola from Lourdes, go check them out. They're fantastic. Thanks for coming on. That was great to know. No worries. Thanks, guys.
Starting point is 01:07:58 Jess and Ducko in the morning. Jess and Ducko's 10K Alphabucks on hit. $10,000 on the line. All that stands in your way is 30 seconds to answer 10 questions, all starting with the same letter. We have to take your first answer. You can't use the same answer twice. And if you're unsure of the question, just say pass, and we'll come back to you if there is time.
Starting point is 01:08:19 Stepping up today, we have Liam. Good morning, Liam. G'day, how are we? We are fantastic, Liam. What would you like. G'day, how are we? We are fantastic, Liam. What would you like to spend $10,000 on? I'd like to take family on an overseas holiday. Yeah, nice. Yeah, why not?
Starting point is 01:08:34 Lovely. Do you have a destination in mind? Let's see. I love Japan. I'd love to go back to Japan again. Yeah, it's a great part of the world, Japan. Okay, well, whilst you're in Asia, maybe you'd like to pop on over to Laos. So he's leaving Japan, is he?
Starting point is 01:08:49 He's going to leave Japan and pop over to Laos purely because it starts with the letter L. I see. And that's what you're going to work with, Liam? Yep, no, I'm cool with L. You're cool with L? Cool with L. I'm still going to Japan, but he's cool with L.
Starting point is 01:09:02 Are you cool with L? Yeah, yeah. I don't know. I always struggle with Japan, food or words that start with L. That's still going in Japan, but he's cool with L. He's cool with L. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. You know, I always struggle with Japan, food or words. That's not with L. I apologise. I've had to take you out of the country. Liam, you ready?
Starting point is 01:09:13 I sure am. Great. Your time will start after the first question. Starting with the letter L. We need you to name a type of pasta. Pasta. A boy of pastor. An instrument. Pass. A band. Pass.
Starting point is 01:09:49 An insect. Pass. Patrick. Yeah, that was hard. That was tough. We were on there for the middle patch. I thought, oh, we could be on here, but we ended up with four. Four of the best.
Starting point is 01:10:01 Four of the best. Four of the best. Top of pass. That could have been a linguine. We love a linguine. Top of the pass. That could have been a linguine. We love a linguine. Something you write on. It could have been a letter. I gave you space term, light.
Starting point is 01:10:11 Why not? An instrument. It could have been a lute. You don't think of the lute. A band link in park. An insect. The ladybug. Very true.
Starting point is 01:10:19 Yes. It's all good in hindsight, isn't it? But hey, you don't go away empty-handed, Liam. You're not getting the family to Japan, but you're going to Endota. $100 to spend at Endota. That's all yours. Much appreciated. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:10:29 You're very welcome, Liam. Have a great day. You too. Jess and Daco. 13, 10, 60. Make us cringe. Worst pain you've ever felt. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:37 Go. There's been a new study done from the University of Utah over in the States. Essentially, they are claiming that the worst pain a human being can feel, kidney stones. My first question is, Ducco, did they take into consideration childbirth? Yes. So what they've done is, and being kicked in the balls. So what they've done is they've got-
Starting point is 01:11:03 That's got to be your big three heavy hitters, surely. Yeah, but childbirth, like getting kicked in the bowels. So what they've done is they've got- That's got to be your big three heavy hitters, surely. Yeah, but childbirth, like getting kicked in the nuts really hurts, but childbirth I would say is worse. But it's one of those things, isn't it? I don't think they're on a comparable- Like I can't comment on the kidney stones now becoming number one. I haven't had them. Yes.
Starting point is 01:11:16 You haven't pushed out a kid. Yeah, that's true. You can't do it. You haven't done it. So for an individual, I can't fathom that kidney stones could be worse than childbirth. Supposedly, people in the ER who are like doctors have come out and said, and medical professionals and stuff have come out and said, they do not see anyone else in more pain than people who are there with kidney stones.
Starting point is 01:11:36 Including women who have pushed out a kid without an epidural? Yes. Because that's the only authority I'll take on this matter. They surveyed a bunch of men and a bunch of women. The women had been through childbirth. Wow. And 80% of the women who'd been through childbirth and had a kidney stone said kidney stones were worse. 89% of the men.
Starting point is 01:11:54 Do we have a rice cooker who's in that category? Because I would just love to hear it from the horse's mouth. If we can find that, shall I go, Babs? 13, 10, 60. If you've had a kidney stone and you've given birth, I want to find out if it's worse. Yeah, I need to hear it from you. 89% of the males said it was the worst pain they felt, the kidney stone. Wow.
Starting point is 01:12:09 So that's the worst. Apparently, as a human being, it is the worst pain. And then to push it out is excruciating. Yes, because my dad had kidney stones but had the operation, which I don't know if that means he's a big wimp and didn't want to go through the P phase because he actually had it cut out of him and extracted. Do you weed out? I think you weed it out.
Starting point is 01:12:27 So it is a jagged piece of rock. I think it's a calcium buildup. I understand that's got to be very bad. And just knowing that you've got to get it out of you would be, it's like childbirth, I'd imagine. There's only one way out. There's only one way out. If you've gone that far.
Starting point is 01:12:40 See, with the childbirth, it's the stretch. With the kidney stone, it's the sharp. Yes. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, I know what you're saying. Are you telling me the sharp is worse than the stretch? Well, I haven't had either. Christy's called through, though, on 131060.
Starting point is 01:12:56 You've had both here. Hi, yes, I have. I had kidney stones while I was pregnant. Oh, my God, that's a double whammy. That's a doozy. Now, Christy, you are going to be our authority on this. It's one thing for this anonymous survey to come out. You representing the rice cooker community.
Starting point is 01:13:15 Which was worse, pain? 100% kidney stones. Wow. Okay. And can I just clarify? I hope I'm not asking too many personal questions. Did you push out the kid without an epidural? No. So I can't vouch for that. I had an epidural. Oh, well, I don't know if that's the right. So is the pain pre-epidural the pain you would have
Starting point is 01:13:35 experienced though enough to go, well, kidney stones are still worse? Maybe because I too had an epidural. It was the worst pain I've ever been through. I was in hospital for about eight days. Oh. And it was, yeah, and I passed them and everything. So, yeah, no, it was terrible. And the worst thing is that you don't know when the pain's ending. At least with childbirth, you know it will end.
Starting point is 01:13:57 Yeah, that's true. Oh, you make a great point. And you wee them out? That's how you get them out? Yep. Okay. And can you describe it, Christy? Does it feel like a knife
Starting point is 01:14:08 coming through you because they're sharp and jagged? To be honest, the actual part of them coming out, you can't really, I didn't really even feel it. It's more the pressure in your back and your lower tummy. Yeah. It's like a knife in your back
Starting point is 01:14:24 but it just comes and goes constantly. Oh, that's horrible. And a couple more ladies have called through, Shaga and Babs are saying, who've had both, said kidney stones are worse. I mean, that's one thing, Ducko. Thank you, Christy. Thanks for that.
Starting point is 01:14:36 Appreciate you. Thank you for the insight. Thank you for being so open. Our friend, good friend of the show, Mrs. Wild Word, well, Maddie, of birth, three children. But this morning I got bitten on the back of my arm by a donkey. Dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes. Way worse pain than the childbirth.
Starting point is 01:14:55 I thought I was dying. You don't want to get bit on the back of your arm by a donkey. Says Mrs. Wild World. Donkey bites are some of the worst bites you can have. We know Mrs. Wild World lives on a farm. Yeah, she does. She's operating on a farm. Yeah, yeah. To be bit, the back of the arm is a sensitive area.
Starting point is 01:15:08 It's a vulnerable spot like the tricep. Those teeth on a donkey. Yeah, they gnaw at you. That's horrible. I don't know any donkey that's been to the dentist. Their teeth are horrible. They're bad. And yellow as well.
Starting point is 01:15:17 Yeah. Okay. Thank you, Maddie. 13, 10, 60, aside from kidney stones, which we now, I think, have established is the worst. Yep. What's the worst pain you've ever felt? Because maybe you haven't experienced a kidney stone or the childbirth, maybe. Or you think you can top it.
Starting point is 01:15:30 Can you top it? Yeah. What's the worst pain in the world? Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. The worst pain you've ever felt. 131060, there was a new study done. Basically, it surveyed a bunch of men and women who'd been through childbirth,
Starting point is 01:15:45 and they'd all had kidney stones. And it said that kidney stones was the worst pain a human being can feel. It tops childbirth. Now, obviously, pain, there isn't too much more subjective, maybe comedy. But pain, obviously, very subjective. But this is a big study. And the fact they asked women in particular who had given birth without the epidural and had a kidney stone, I can't believe, and it makes me fearful of ever having a kidney stone.
Starting point is 01:16:13 Yeah, I know, because it could happen. It could happen. What can we get? Shy Guy, I know you're answering phones out there with Babs. How do you get a kidney stone? Yes, I don't know. Is it a diet thing? I thought it was something to do with hydration, but I'm not 100% sure.
Starting point is 01:16:26 How do we avoid them? I need to avoid it like the plague. Some people are texting in or commenting on Jess and Duck on Instagram, infected wisdom teeth. Ooh, anything in the mouth. Yeah, gallstones as well, gallbladder attack, some people are saying labor, endometriosis. Ooh, yes, yep.
Starting point is 01:16:42 And then someone said knee dislocation. I can honestly say shoulder dislocation for me was very painful. Yeah. But it's circumstantial. Like when I dislocated my shoulder and I was out in the ocean. You were in the surf. By myself. Yes.
Starting point is 01:16:54 And I was getting hit by waves. That sucked. For me, Kynan, my PT, made me do that stupid thing with that small wheel with handles. And you have to be on your- The ab wheel roller? The ab wheel roller. So you've given birth and you're going to say it's the ab wheel roller. How I know it's worse is because, one,
Starting point is 01:17:13 can't get an epidural for the ab wheel roller. I got an epidural. And your abs are all torn apart from birth. But you know what I was trying to do? You've pushed out a kid. You've pushed out- Like chanting to myself to not whinge as much. Didn't work. The ab wheel roller. And how deep were you rolling? I can imagine you were pushed out like chanting to myself to not whinge as much didn't work and how deep were you rolling
Starting point is 01:17:27 I can imagine you were rolling in corners you know why because I felt like I was doing really well I went get my camera let's put it on Instagram I want to show people
Starting point is 01:17:35 how fit I am oh I wasn't posting that I barely I barely bent over yeah yeah so it's all subjective it's all subjective Mary's called in on 131060 Mary what is the worst pain you've ever felt?
Starting point is 01:17:49 Okay. I was mucking around. Oh, not mucking around. I was putting dishes away in the saucepan cupboard and it... I love that you clarified it. I wasn't having fun doing it. No, no, no. It wasn't fun. Yes. So, yeah. And one of those glass saucepan lids with the metal rim fell on my toe. So that alone was enough to make me scream. Okay. Unbeknownst to me, I'd scared my cat.
Starting point is 01:18:17 Yes. Who trained to let me know by clenching full force on the side of my hand. Oh. So coupled with the toe pain, now you've got cat claws into you. Oh, no, it wasn't claws. It was his mouth. Oh, little teeth. He bit me full force.
Starting point is 01:18:35 Oh, you don't often see that from a cat. On the side of my hand. Yeah. Oh, sent me screaming again. And then I had to get onto a work call straight after. It's during COVID, so I was working from home. Oh, she's had to push through. I'm crying.
Starting point is 01:18:49 No longer are we mucking around with the dishes. We've been bitten by a cat and times are tougher. Pussy's sleeping outside that night. I was saying, getting whiskers. Not getting fed that night. Thank you, Mary. Daniel, hello. Hiya, guys. How you going?
Starting point is 01:19:05 Yeah, fantastic, Dan. We're talking about the worst pain you've ever felt. Well, I haven't had a kidney stone or anything, but the worst pain I've felt is I had a sinus infection. Oh, yes. It was that bad that it softened my skull and broke the membrane in between your brain and your skull. Holy hell.
Starting point is 01:19:26 Yeah, I didn't like the light from it. But, yeah, they said it felt like a steel, like one-ton steel plate was constantly pressing against my forehead. Sinus pain. I'm telling you right now. Sinus pain is one of the worst pains. Like, sinus pain when you're flying, because I get it really bad. I've got to take Sudafed and stuff. I've had surgery.
Starting point is 01:19:43 Sinus pain feels like a knife is getting stabbed into one of the pockets of your sinuses, above your eye, below, whatever it is, and it just is relentless. I would have felt like his brain was about to fall out, his nostrils or something. It's affected the membrane. The hospital said that I was three days off a brain infection.
Starting point is 01:20:00 Oh, my God. If it happened 15, 20 years ago, I would have died. Oh, my goodness. Daniel. That is a bad pain. That's hectic. Yeah, sinus pain is bad. Thank you, Daniel.
Starting point is 01:20:12 Wow. Tracy, good morning to you. Good morning. Tracy, they've said kidney stones is the worst pain a human can feel, but what have you felt that you think might be worse? Pancreatitis caused by gallstones. I was on holidays, lasted one day in the beautiful hat head, ended up in Kepsey Hospital and then transferred to Port Macquarie for a week with pancreatitis. It is the worst pain I've ever felt in my
Starting point is 01:20:39 life. And what can you describe it? Is it like stabbing? Is it this dull thud? What's going on? No, no. It's stabbing. It's like this massive big, it's like you're having a heart attack. It's just like this massive big hug around you and this hot stabbing pain up the top here. And it's horrendous. I've had three children without epidurals and that by far was the worst thing I've ever felt. Well, there you go.
Starting point is 01:21:07 Yuck. Pancreatitis. It's all bad. Thank you for sharing, Tracy. We go to Scotty. Let's wrap up here with Scotty. Good morning, Scotty. What's up, kids?
Starting point is 01:21:16 Mate, we're talking pain, brother. We're talking pain. What have you got, Scotty? I reckon using it all soft myself. Okay. All right. I've had kidney stones, and I've heard them hit the bowl, mate, as they come out the end of the old fella.
Starting point is 01:21:29 All right. Well, what's worse than that? All you do is bleed a bit and stop your whinging. Do you have a nomination for what's worse? What's happening to you, Scotty? Yeah, mate. I can tell you what's worse. Having a gas barbecue blow up and burn your Jolly Roger and your two mates down below?
Starting point is 01:21:45 No. A pair of silky shorts on that stuck to it all. How did you do that? Oh, melting the silky shorts. What were you cooking? Who's cooking a barbecue in silky shorts? Who the hell's wearing silk shorts? I was a miller.
Starting point is 01:21:55 Scotty? Yeah. You've got your plate. It's the middle of summer, mate. What do you do? You're going to go out there with your tracky pants on? And you're letting the boys breathe, I'd imagine. So what were you cooking for the barbecue to blow up?
Starting point is 01:22:04 I didn't get to put nothing on the beeper thing. How did it blow up? Was it faulty? Was there a gas leak or something? Yes, there was a gas leak. And then so how bad was the burn on your Roger? Roger, chest, buttocks, bare bits of the face. I spent Christmas of 87 in an ice bath in the hospital.
Starting point is 01:22:27 Oh, Jesus. And you've had the kidney stones. So, again, like the childbirth equation, he can comment on both. So everyone on this survey who's saying kidney stones is worse, you heard it here from Scotty, worse. They're tops, mate. They're tops. Jess and Daco.
Starting point is 01:22:45 What we're doing when we do our podcast tops, which is always extra content, we're basically pilot testing new games and stuff that we might add into the show. That's right. It's an audition process. Yes. I mean, last week we auditioned a game called Say the Same. Lo and behold, after rigorous testing, we put it through its paces, ended up on the show today, and my golly, it was fun.
Starting point is 01:23:08 My golly, it was fun. Oh, goodness me, kids. Hooly-dooly, strap in for say the same. So we're really enjoying that process on the podcast, getting a lot of feedback on socials, on the text line. So what would you like to beta test and audition today, Duckman? A game we want to do, or a segment we should say we want to do, called Text Line Topics.
Starting point is 01:23:30 Basically, we have the text line. You can text in any time, 0488881069. Things get a little unhinged in the text line. They do. So I want you to text us anything you want us to talk about. Now, you could tell us something that's happened to you and go, like, you know, we can discuss it and elaborate, maybe something going on in the world. Whatever you want us to discuss and now. It could be you could tell us something that's happened to you and go, like, you know, we can discuss it and elaborate. Maybe something going on in the world.
Starting point is 01:23:46 Whatever you want us to discuss and how it would work, we're going to test it on the podcast. But if it was in a show, we'd say, text us now, play a song, come back, and then we're just going to try and read a few, see how it goes. See what latches on. See what we expand on. Maybe you're revealing something. Maybe you've got a conundrum between you and your partner, you and a group of mates.
Starting point is 01:24:04 You want to bring Jess and Ducko in involved on it. Like someone texts us today saying, I'm celebrating eating ice cream. I brought an ice cream maker as I'm lactose intolerant and can eat normal ice cream. Can not eat normal ice cream. There you go. There you go.
Starting point is 01:24:15 She's making it herself. Bang, there you go. Giddy up. My, um, I'm sorry. I brought him up again in the space of about 10 minutes, but Kynan, the PT. Geez, you bring him up 14 times a day. I do.
Starting point is 01:24:24 He gives me so much content. He's going to be like one of the most researched words on this show when we do our AI thing. Truly. But, you know, it's good because he's working now. Obviously, he takes the gym classes, so I can say whatever I want. He doesn't hear it. Good, good.
Starting point is 01:24:35 And obviously, anyone reporting back is also in that class, so they can't hear it. But he was going on. He recently purchased a Ninja Creamy. Oh. You know, like you've got the Fruit Ninja, which is the blender. Yeah, I've got the Fruit Ninja. Well, they've come out with the Ninja Creamy.
Starting point is 01:24:47 Oh, for ice cream. To make ice cream. There you go. And he was touting it like our text friend Mel, saying it's unbelievable to make your own ice cream. See, there you go. So I'm on the bandwagon. I think I want a Ninja Creamy.
Starting point is 01:24:57 Wouldn't have done that if Mel didn't text in. There you go. And if I hadn't supported it with Kynan's story about making his own sorbet. Text us right now and we're going to date it on the podcast. 0-4-888-1069. Go as unhinged as you want. That's right. Rip and tear.
Starting point is 01:25:13 Rip and tear. Have a crack. We'll read it in the podcast. We'll see how it goes. And make sure you leave your name. We'd love to give you the credit. Always. Up next, though, I got betrayed, betrayed by my local and my favourite Thai shop.
Starting point is 01:25:26 Oh, my God. You love Thai. It's my favourite cuisine. Yes, it is. And I am angry. Did they only give you three spring rolls, not four? It's worse than that. I can't imagine you ordering spring rolls.
Starting point is 01:25:36 No, I didn't. I'll unpack it next time. Jess and Ducko. Right now, I'm ducking over to Thailand. You guys can come with if you want. Only if it's PP. Always going to PP. PP, I love it.
Starting point is 01:25:44 Green curry. Bang. You love a Thai green. I love Thai. Only if it's pee-pee. Always going to pee-pee. Pee-pee Island. Green curry. Bang. You love a Thai green. I love... You know Thai is my favourite cuisine. You know it. I love Thai food. What's your noodle of choice?
Starting point is 01:25:53 Thank you, Michaelia. What's your noodle of choice? I'm a curry guy. Udon noodles. I don't mind. I think that's Japanese. Sorry. Not Udon.
Starting point is 01:26:00 Like a Pad Thai or a Pad Siyu? Pad Siyu. So Pad Siyu. Yeah, yeah. I don't know how Japanese is in my mind. But I'm a curry guy. Green, yellow, red? Pad see you. So pad see you. Yeah, yeah. I don't know how Japanese is in my mind. But I'm a curry guy. Green, yellow, red, muskman. I love a curry.
Starting point is 01:26:08 You don't see colour when it comes to curry. I love them all. Bring them in. Put them in my plate. Anyway. Can we do a game? Oh, God. Shy Guy, I need you to make three curries.
Starting point is 01:26:18 One green, one red, one yellow. Blindfold Duckman. I want to see if he can tell. Can you get on that? Can you taste? Who's going to make the curries? Can you taste colour? Oh, there you go.
Starting point is 01:26:27 I love it. Watch this space. Anyway, I went to my local. That'll be about as good as me juggling on Friday. That's going to be great. This Friday, 7.50, where were you? So I went to my local Thai cuisine shop, right? We'd ordered it.
Starting point is 01:26:40 We'd ordered it online. And now is this the one you always go to? Always go to. You always get the same thing. No, different, but we go like weekly. They always see it. I roll in Morgan Waits in the car because she likes to drive because she hates going and dealing with people. Sure.
Starting point is 01:26:53 Oh, this is not an Uber Eats situation. No, we go pick it up because it's cheaper than Uber Eats and like, you know. Look at you saving money. That's smart. Yeah, why not? Yep. So we go in and I walk in and I see our tie sitting on the counter with our name on it and another box of tie. The lady who was working there was at the back of the restaurant.
Starting point is 01:27:09 And I look at it, and I'm reading it going, yes, coconut rice, patsy you, green curry, red curry. Here we go. Mouth starts watering. I'm smiling for Edie, and then she looks at me, and I sort of stop smiling because I realise I'm being a bit of a weirdo. You look like a creeper. And then she comes up, and I go, yep, pick up for Morgan.
Starting point is 01:27:25 Take away for Morgan. And she goes, do you have ID? You got ID'd at a Thai restaurant? Because she didn't believe I was Morgan. And I was like, oh, I'm not Morgan. That's my wife. But that would happen every time. All the time.
Starting point is 01:27:40 And I go, no, that's my wife, but it's me. And she goes, do you have a paid receipt? Okay. How many people are picking up other people's orders dodgily? This is what I wanted to know. That now they're putting in these measures. I mean, 131060, if you work at a joint and people are doing this all the time, or you see people pretending to grab a breach.
Starting point is 01:27:57 Because it's a pretty good scam. I was offended. So then I was like, oh, let me try and find it. I didn't realize. Did you get up your Instagram being like, look, see this marriage picture from three years ago? That's Morgan. Let me click on her profile.
Starting point is 01:28:08 It says Morgan Allen Duckett. I'm the guy. I'm the dude. That's Morgan. The thing is, she hasn't actually changed her last name legally. She's just done it on Instagram. So it says Morgan R instead of. Oh no, that's very confusing.
Starting point is 01:28:17 And then when I was looking online to find the pay receipt, because I was like, yeah, we have shared bank accounts. I'll find it. Like this lady. I'm looking on. I didn't realise Morgan had bought it off Uber Eats, but we still picked it up. We didn't order it through them. Oh, you did pick up.
Starting point is 01:28:28 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm typing in the name of the tie joint, and I couldn't find it, and I just started looking more sus. Now you're looking like a big liar. And then I go, oh, I can't. It's not in here, but I swear it's ours. Hang on. You've been the one to pick up in the past.
Starting point is 01:28:39 All the time. Have you ever seen this lady before? Yes. And she just does. She did not want a bar of it, which makes me think that's happened to them before. So I started looking really suspect. I'm going, then I started retelling the order of what I'd got. Yeah, quiz me, quiz me.
Starting point is 01:28:52 I've got it. But I realized she saw me reading it before. So it just looked like I had no ID. I had no pay proof. And I was just reading what I'd already sneakily read. Oh, I see. Because you've just gone, there's one for Morgan. I'm Morgan.
Starting point is 01:29:04 I'm Morgan. Because I was going to say, if you were going to go try and do this at a restaurant or a takeaway place, you could walk in being like, order for Matt. Like, the odds are there might be a Matt. Could be, possibly. Because it's a pretty common name. But they had it there on the counter and you could see Morgan. But Morgan is a unique name.
Starting point is 01:29:20 It is. Relatively unique name. It is. But it was visible. So I called Morgan. She's in the car outside. It was raining. I called her.
Starting point is 01:29:26 And I was like, they don't. Your pregnant wife. Yeah, yeah. Who doesn't want to deal with human beings. Yeah. Doesn't like human beings at the best of times. Was she double parked or was she properly parked? No, she was properly parked.
Starting point is 01:29:35 And I was like, they don't believe it's mine. I can't find the pay receipt. And Morgan's like, what do you mean they don't believe it? And I was like, see, I'm on the phone to my wife now. Did you hold up your phone and be like, look, Morgan called. But I was just looking so sus. And the lady looks at me and goes, and then there's people now in the restaurant dining and looking up going, what's happening?
Starting point is 01:29:50 There's a commotion. She was so pretentious. I was like, can I just have my fricking $70 worth of tie that I paid for? And then she goes. My green curry is getting cold. She literally said to me, I'll give it to you because you're a return customer and I'll trust you. Hang on.
Starting point is 01:30:03 Because you're a return customer. Yeah. So she did recognize you? She knew that. It said that. She said, I could see you. Hang on. Because you're a return customer? Yeah. So she did recognise you? She knew. She said, I could see here you've been in a few times. Oh, get up my account. My account. Look how many times.
Starting point is 01:30:12 Our account, we've come in. How do you feel about this? I walked away feeling... Are you going to go back? I went back to the car and I was like, Morgan, I need you to come in. She thinks I'm a robber. She thinks I've stolen someone's tie. Get out of the car.
Starting point is 01:30:21 We're going. Morgan's like 27 weeks pregnant. You know, she's in full whale mode. And she's like, no. I told you to stop saying that. I call her Miglet. She's waddled in. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:29 No, no, Morgan's like, I'm not getting out of the car. Oh, she did it. She goes, you know how we'll prove it? No one's going to come in there and ask for Morgan now. I was like, that's a good call from you. That is smart. That's a good call. Still though.
Starting point is 01:30:40 What do we do for next time? Do we get you a cardboard cutout of Morgan? Does she have to make one appearance once and lock it in together? Maybe. What do we do for next time? Do we get you a cardboard cutout of Morgan? Does she have to make one appearance once and lock it in together? Maybe. What do we do to rectify this? Because I'm worried now your favourite Thai place is tainted. Well, I don't want to go back. Oh, fair enough.
Starting point is 01:30:53 It was delicious, though, but it just annoyed me. There's nothing worse than looking like a suspect human being and just digging yourself deeper holes. It's like driving with your seatbelt on under the speed limit but a cop car's behind you. Exactly the same. You go, I know I'm not doing anything wrong, but why do I feel guilty?
Starting point is 01:31:10 Jess and Ducco. It's been a fantastic show so far, but we do have a co-farm. We're doing every day this week. That's right. Call the fame of the day. You don't have to wait until Friday to win a great prize with us. We're doing it every single morning. It's $250 cash to spend however you
Starting point is 01:31:26 wish. Maybe you need back to school supplies for the kids. Maybe you need an activity to get them off your back. Or a little reward for getting through the silly season and starting a new working year. Yep. Whatever it may be. I think you can blow it all at Dan Murphy's. It is up to you. We gave 10 or
Starting point is 01:31:42 so people bottles of champagne this morning. They loved it. For celebrating something small going on because champagne sales are declining. Someone just called in to say, I'm just on air. That's a celebration. Oh, I've got my bottle. I know. Babs must have been in a really good mood. Yeah, must have been peppy out there.
Starting point is 01:31:54 So I don't think any of them should be getting $250 cash. Yeah, no. They've got a bottle of champagne. They've already got their prize. They're a winner already. 100%. So about an hour ago, we asked, what's the worst pain ever? Yeah, worst pain you've ever felt because there was a new study done saying that kidney
Starting point is 01:32:08 stones are the worst pain a human being can feel. They surpass childbirth in terms of pain levels. That's right. And this was coming from women who had pushed out a kid without an epidural, but had also had kidney stones, which is really the only authority we were happy to take on the matter. However, someone has come in with an unbelievable nomination. Granted, he said, look, I haven't had a kidney stone, but my brain nearly fell out of my nose.
Starting point is 01:32:32 Daniel called. Do we have his? I don't believe so. That's okay. Daniel called and said, I had a sinus infection. Yes. Which attacked the membrane in his skull. And what did the doctor say?
Starting point is 01:32:44 This could have killed you. And it would have 15 years ago if they didn't have the medicine they do today. His skull was crushing in on him. And as someone who's experienced sinus pain. Oh, sinus pain is so painful. It sucks. It hurts. It's the worst.
Starting point is 01:32:57 It's the worst. It's the worst. So, Daniel, there's $250 to do with whatever you choose. That's all yours. Dan, enjoy it. We're back tomorrow with more of the Cooler Fame of the day. That's right. It's a Thursday tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:33:08 It is a Thursday. We're going to play wordy-okey. Oh, yes. We're also inching closer to the big day on Friday. The juggle-off. That's right. Of course. Of course.
Starting point is 01:33:18 Hey, I think that means we've got clown boy tomorrow. Yeah, we're interviewing a clown tomorrow. Babs' mate. What's his name again, Babs? The magical man. The amazing Jono. The Amazing Jono. The Amazing Jono. Didn't you say you've been in touch with Jono?
Starting point is 01:33:29 Yes, I have. Was there something you wanted to share? What did he email us yesterday, Babs? Oh, yeah, he wanted to know if you guys need juggling balls or like fire or a unicycle. Fire? I'm going to need fire.
Starting point is 01:33:45 Actually, unicycle's good. I'm going to need fire. Fire? Actually, unicycle's good. I want all of the above. Hang on, wait, to what? I don't know. What does Jono think he's doing in this show? Does he know it's about Jess? What does Jono think he's doing?
Starting point is 01:33:53 Thank you, Ducco. I actually can't remember why we're getting Jono in, to be completely honest. I thought he was going to give me tips. Yeah, that's what I thought. He is, but then he's also going to ride a unicycle around and shoot flies. I like that. That's fun. That's fun.
Starting point is 01:34:04 Let's show what a real circus axe can do. And then we've got Jess on Friday, the Teemu juggler. You're going to be so blown away by the amazing Jono on Thursday that I'm going to come in on Friday. It's going to be real lame. You can't have a guy juggling on a unicycle through fire. I won't let him juggle. He's not allowed to juggle, but he's allowed to ride a unicycle
Starting point is 01:34:24 and have fire. I want to see him eat fire and do something like that. That's fun. Well, why not? I know it's very visual, but I'll talk it out for the people listening. Oh, he's eating the fire. You are a good commentator. And he's juggling.
Starting point is 01:34:34 Oh, he's fallen off. No. He's fallen off. No. He's coming in to give me tips on juggling. How is he juggling? You were practicing yesterday. No amazing Jono.
Starting point is 01:34:42 No. Jono, if you're listening, which I know you are, this is your big time bringing in the bike. Also, he's not juggling balls. He's juggling axes. Oh! Yes! And they're on fire. Oh, well, shut up!
Starting point is 01:34:54 And he's on a five-foot unicycle. Oh, okay. Five-foot duck on fire! How dare you? I'm 5'8". Have we done a risk assessment? I'm just sub-six feet. Have we?
Starting point is 01:35:04 Have we done a risk assessment? This is going such an expert. Have we done a risk assessment? This is going to be fantastic. You cannot have a cry. Maybe we can do them live in the car park. We can do it live. We'll cross to Jono live in the car park. The festival's on. Friday morning.
Starting point is 01:35:15 Oh, this is fantastic. The festival of Jess. It's a fate. It's like a community school fate. He's doing this tomorrow. Yours is the big act on Friday. You're the main act. I couldn't follow that.
Starting point is 01:35:23 Him juggling fire axes is just a warm-up. I have three juggling balls from Amazon. And you can barely throw them in the air. It's going to be great, guys. I put a little video of me practicing yesterday, and the most resounding feedback I got was, why are you wearing socks on the grass? No one cares about my juggling.
Starting point is 01:35:41 No one's focusing on the juggling. Someone said my quads were looking good. I said, thank you, Conor. All right. It's the eighth time today. Sorry, I know. It's too many. Third, relax.
Starting point is 01:35:51 We should play Conor and bingo. So, Babs, Jono's coming in tomorrow. Confirm that. No. Tell him to bring the fire axes. Tell him to bring the unicycle. I want them all. Does he bring his own fire extinguisher or fire blanket?
Starting point is 01:36:04 I can ask. We'll just do it without the fire, I think. How do you extinguish? I want them all. Does he bring his own fire extinguisher or fire blanket? I can ask. We'll just do it without the fire, I think. How do you extinguish I don't know. It'd be kind of fun getting everyone's building kicked out. I'd like to see things on fire. Emissions that we haven't got. Can we do it outside? It's in the street. It could just be a public property, surely. We'll talk about it.
Starting point is 01:36:19 The amazing Jono tomorrow and the not-so-amazing Jess on Friday. What a show-off. Juggling axes. Oh, so good. Babs, you've stitched me up here with your make. You're amazing, mate. You're amazing, mate.
Starting point is 01:36:36 We're out of here. Grab the podcast. We'll see you tomorrow. Bye-bye. Bye. So I waited for them to leave so we could have access to the bushes. Jess and Ducko. That was the Jess and Ducko podcast. The new loose change menu has dropped at Macca's. So I waited for them to leave so we could have access to the bushes.
