Try the cafe's new blend today. Smoother, bolder, better. I'm loving it. Jess and Ducco. This is the Jess and Ducco podcast. Hey, welcome to the podcast, everybody. Great show today. At the top of the show, Ducco, you both,

you and I both said, wow, we sprung out of bed this morning. Yeah. Feeling very rested and refreshed, even though your little lady, you know, was a bit rude overnight. You still got enough rest, it would appear. And, God, didn't that carry us through? Yeah, it did. A lot of laughs. It was great. It was a good show. It was a bit rude overnight. She's a little bitch. He's still got enough rest it would appear and, God, didn't that carry us through? Yeah, it did. A lot of laughs.

It was great. It was a good show. It was a really good show. It upsets me to think though, Ducko, if we hadn't accidentally landed on Babs off air, telling us about her choking, we wouldn't have landed on some of the great phone calls. We do what's every morning, what's called a top of hour. So the mic's going at six and it's just basically a, hey, how's it going? I say, Sharga, how are you? Yep, you and and me talk Babs. How are you? And then it's usually

Yeah, nothing's going on. Oh well fine. Don't fucking talk to me and then comes in off air and goes Oh nearly choked and died last night on me buddy. I had a near-death experience because I was howling in to a delicious Past a ditch. Babs we're just saying that you're in the room you can hear we're just um How shit you are. We're saying in the top of hours when I when I say good morning Babs, we're just saying that you're in the room, you can hear. We're just, um. How shit you are. We're saying, in the top of hours, when I say, good morning, Babs, what's going on? That's great time to tell me you've choked, you know? Is this the podcast? Yeah.

What do you fucking think we're on here? We're not on here. Like, I don't know what we're doing. I just walked in. Well, I just thought that was a bit of a, hey, Babs, how you going? Oh, fucking god, last night. Yeah, wow.

Yeah, that. And I'm interested. Have you heard the tops of hours for the past two years? It felt a bit grim compared, you know. Oh, no. It's not like you died, sis. It's good. I know.

That's real too, cause if I'm having a good day, you might not be, that's life, baby. Yeah, I was not having a good day yesterday. And I've actually never felt closer to Sweet Bats. Yeah, you're bonded. Oh, you ate it like I did. She keeps me at arm's length, and that's her prerogative, and fair enough,

I push too hard. But now I feel really connected to her. It's a safe distance she keeps you. Yeah, but now I feel bonded. Yeah, I'll see now Jess is going to send you every time she sees Rosemary, she's going to send you a photo. I've got two massive bushes in my backyard. Well no, because you got laser on that one, didn't you? It was three, but then I got the, you know, the 10 pass package.

That's how much I needed Babs. It was a thicket down there. She is of ethnic descent. Thank you. Italian Maltese represent. It's all that. But now I'm gonna think that- The 90s were a hell of a time. The 80s and 90s were the bush.

Hell of a time. When I was on the beach in a bikini and you would all just let it hang loose. Look at that finger. Yeah, they should do that in Byron Bay. Yeah. Yeah, cause they're naturalists. Have you guys ever actually been to a beach

and gotten fully nude? Like at a new beach? No. Neither have I. I've tried to bang on a beach. Team nude? you guys ever actually been to a beach and gone fully nude like at a new beach? No, neither have I. I've tried to bang on a beach. I've tried to bang on a beach. I've done that a few times. And it's never good. Sand, it's gross. It's only 80. It's worse for the girl because sand going in yeah. Because as much as you try to keep your dick sand free, I tell you what, a granule will get on there. Sand gets everywhere. How do you do the rusty wheelbarrow on your beach towel? Impossible. Tough carry.

Tough carry. And then we try to go into the water. Salt water in your crevices. I think I've seen people have sex in the water. Yeah, I saw it a few times in the Greek islands. You don't need to be straddling your partner in the water. Yeah, yeah. Unless.

You know what the worst place I've ever fucking done it. This is so bad. In a spa, in a spa at a hotel, while, this is so bad, this is years and years ago, this is like an XX, like this is, I was 18, while a family was in the pool next to us in the spa. Oh, hang on a minute, not your hotel room. No, no, no, like an outdoor spa, like a dirty fucking-

Sorry, daylight? Daylight? Turn the jets on, we were going, a family comes in, she was sitting in my lap, I'm talking like they were like... This is probably a dumb question, were you smooching as well? No. Were you trying to be inconspicuous from torso up? No, inconspicuous, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But she's fucking grinding away. Yep, yep, swear to God. Like you look back on that stuff and you go, what are we doing? And then... You are rude. I'm age. Oh, what pigs? When you finish...

You fat lad. When you finish, it's in the spa. Ew! You pulled it. Yeah. Well, I don't even know if I did. You had it wrapped you're tool. Yeah, well, certainly not. It was a partner at the time. And then we turned the jets on to just let it look like a... and we got them left. You probably wouldn't have been the first person.

And the kid's like, Daddy, can I go in the spa next? He's like, sure you can, son. I don't know why we're in America now, but. He's probably impregnated someone. You would have been the only person to screw in that. Well, if it's my sperm, Jess, things are pretty safe. That's just, there's nothing going on there. Trust me, I didn't get anyone pregnant. How's me forgetting an 18 month story line

behind this very broken? I wish, you're my wish. If anyone's gonna jizz wherever he wants. Yeah, yeah, it's me. With safety of. In fact, I wish, I wish my wish. If anyone's gonna jizz wherever he wants. Yeah, yeah, it's me. With safety of... In fact, I wish, I wish my single weapon when I finish school and throughout high school and I go to parties and say, hey girls, this jizz ain't working.

So I'm the safe guy. I don't need to rat this out. Yeah, yeah, we're all safe here. The worst you're gonna get is crabs. The worst. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the absolute worst. It's a slight itch and there's a pill. And have you got laser?

Wow, we're safe. We are. No crabs. Match made in heaven. Because that's a superpower if I'd known it when I was younger. Instead I found it out when I didn't need to. You could have been spreading your seedless seed all over the joint. But you were the personality guy. I was the get to know him guy.

Or like I'm really drunk may as well guy. So in the spa, was this where you had to get up and hit the button? I mean I feel like a motorboat. Yeah. No one had to stop. So we hit them. Reset it? Yeah.

We hit them. That's a bad story. That's a true story. I was 18. I was an ex-girlfriend just out of school. Hey man, there's no such thing as mistakes. Only learnings and 33 year old. If I was there now with my kid and my wife and I saw a couple fucking and then I saw

that in the spa, my god, I would hit them them. Would you say something? You're not saying anything. Would you dob on them? We were definitely at the very end of it and then they'd come in and it was like, I don't know Just young dumb fooling me, you know Would you dob? You dob. If I was an adult now. Like right now, you with your nine week old You're trying to have a nice family vacation in Fiji. You spot two young idiots doing that. Bulla! Kids club!

Are yous on the carver? You just place Florence really close being like, are you ready for this? Cause this is where you're headed if- Oh yeah, it makes me feel sick. The kids were all in Florence, like they were like, I think there were at least four. Yeah, yeah.

Bad, hey. Where's the most public place ever? It's the one that made me feel better. Mate, I told you, the sheep is the most, but there weren't people per se. See, that's a story I'd never admit on air. Which one? The one I just did.

The one you just did. Say on a property. Don't say the sheep is the worst. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We were in a field in New Zealand, and there happened to be a sheep man. When I go to New Zealand in a couple of weeks, I'm gonna look for that sheep.

Please do. You'll see it traumatized in the eye. It'll still be just blank stare. It's like disheveled. It'll probably be telling its sheepmates being like the laziest bitch I ever saw. Yeah, yeah, yeah. On that porch. And she never got off her back.

Not once. No, really. He even had to hold her legs up. Like she couldn't even fucking do that. And then, and then she was puffed. Then I wanted to set up the tripod so Angus and I could take cute couple pics. And then they used me meadow for a tripod. Oh goodness. Babs, you wanna chip in anytime?

You're all right. How old were you when you lost your V card, Sheldon? Not your white card, your V card. No, I got my white card when I was like 14. It was late, it's like 18, 19. 18, 19, you were waiting for the right person? I've never done it in public either. I was 17, I didn't wait for the right person. It was a really bad experience.

You just wanted to rip the bandaid off. Oh, the first ones are always awful! We were at a costume party as well, she was a fairy and I was dressed as a baby. Oh, that's not cool. You look back on that shoot and you... The fairy, that's okay. There's some things I want to erase from my... What was the story behind the character?

What was the theme of the party? Just anything. What was the theme? What could a fairy and a baby... So what were you in, a nappy and a bonnet? Yeah, like a singlet, a bonnet and like a giant oversized nappy. That's fucking hot, man. I see why the fairy couldn't resist.

Yeah, she had wings on and a little tutu. Is that why you're into the fairy porn books? Have you ever tried having sex with a nappy. That's fucking hot man. I see why the fairy couldn't resist. Yeah she had wings on and a little tutu. Is that why you're into the fairy porn books? Have you ever tried having sex with a nappy? It is hard to get that thing back on. Do you just flop out the side or do you take it? I couldn't my side safety flaps were up so I didn't have a poonami. Did she have to undo your safety pins? Oh that's awful. I was about to, honestly that night actually gives me severe anxiety. I'm sorry, I'm sorry I brought it up. What age were you? I reckon I was, you know what, it was with a guy I did year 10 work experience with,

so I must have been- Year 10, 15? 16? 15, 16. 15, 16, yeah, in his single bed, in his parents' house, like just horrific. Under his cross of Jesus. When did he become Catholic? No, he was a little theatre nerd like me, so we were doing work experience with a theatre company. You would have cried on the theatre kids. Oh my god. I too, it was just, but it's one of those things where you go, is this even it? Is this right? And it's daylight, oh, horrific.

And what 15 year old girl is body confident, so I was so like, put me under the doona, like, look. And you got no rhythm, like I remember. Oh, rhythm? It's just, it's not good. There's no foreplay, there's nothing. It's like my first kiss. I've told that first kiss story, played spin the bottle.

That's right. Edwina Graemans, who was a year older than me. Was it in the cupboard or not in the circle? We were in the circle. You did your seventh heaven thing. We kissed, played spin the bottle. That's right. Edwina Graemans who was a year older than me. Was it in the cupboard? No, no, no. We were in the circle. You didn't do 7th Heaven thing. We kissed. No, we kissed in front of everyone. And I was like, in my head, my mind was blown. Like, little duck, I was just like, I think I was 13.

I was like, that was the coolest thing ever. And she goes, mmm, older boys kiss better than that. Aww. That's real degrading. Because I told her I'd kiss before. I was just, that tongue was just going to know what I was doing. Can you confirm, I've never played spin the bottle and I actually have never understood the rules. It's very simple.

When you spin, is it which way the face that like the neck and then the bite of the bottle? No, just the cap. So then bang, then you spin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I always thought you always know who you're going to kiss. It's going to be the person opposite you. No, no, no. It's two spins.

Yeah, double spin. Understood. And was she, did she end up being a cross? She actually ended up being next to me. I was going to say, she ended be the person opposite you. No, it's two spins. Yeah, double spin. Understood. And was she, did she end up being a cross? She ended up being next to me. I was gonna say you didn't have to crawl across the middle.

We leant over. Oh, goodness. Spin the bottle is a bizarre game too, because like if you do like someone and then it lands, like your crush gets landed with someone else and you watch them kiss. You're watching that? It's a weird moment, isn't it?

Oh, it is a weird. It's a really weird thing navigating your youth and growing up. At all these firsts, all these firsts, you just hope you've either got good friends around you, older siblings or a great relationship with your parents because my god. Or a solid nappy. Easy to unclasp safety pins. Easy to unclasp safety pins. Singing up, turning up, turning up. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Hey, welcome to Wednesday.

I'm so happy to be here. It's always good, isn't it? I am thrilled. I'm thrilled. The alarm went off. And you went, yes! And I went, yes. I actually did have one of those rare moments, Ducko, where I woke up very refreshed, ready to attack the day. Me too, which is weird, because I had a late night last night, you and I were seeing an event yesterday.

Usually that takes everything I have in the tank and it does, oh, look, it doesn't rattle me that much, but you can feel the after effects. I'm not a young buck anymore, but my God sprung out of bed. Yeah, I did as well. It must be something in the air. It didn't feel as cold. Maybe, but it's funny you say that because my husband, he is, look he's not a cold frog during the day, but he certainly feels the cold except at bedtime. He has

to wear shorts and a t-shirt and rolls the doona away from me, away from himself over to me because he really gets hot in bed. Runs hot. Woke up this morning though and he was tucked in under the doona. So I thought, oh has he been chilly? Because look at him, a little snug as a bug in a rug runs hot, woke up this morning though, and he was tucked in under the doona. So I thought, Oh, has he been chilly? Cause look at him a little snug as a bug in a rug. Yeah, maybe. So I'm now I'm confused. I don't know. I also woke up a bit of energy too, a bit of pep in the step. So glad to hear it. Well that's Shag, how did you wake up? Peppy? A little bit earlier actually. I just sat in the car this morning when I got here.

I just scrolled Instagram cause I was early. Because you were roaring to go, raring and ready. I arrived and he was sitting on his, standing on his phone like at like one of the poles and I drove right up to him like I reckon I got 10 centimetres away, if that. As in he didn't realise? Well he didn't even look and I looked at Babs who was also parking her car and she was like looking at me like he didn't even react. I was like. I thought I could obviously hear you and see you in my peripheral and I was like he's gonna try and get really close to me so I'm not gonna give him the satisfaction. Yeah yeah I knew what he's

doing so now actually I was so close to hitting him. This is some stunt driving stuff. Yeah yeah I was like I'm just gonna I'm gonna give him a love tap. Imagine if I'd come in this one even like I'll hit you I'll go with my car. Like how hard to hit someone you know like I was like I pondered it I was like oh. That's actually this I was like, oh, that's actually, this feels very, uh, uninspired, unemployed or jackass, but it feels like a test I'd like to conduct. Yeah. Just a little love tap. Like if you were going two kilometres an hour, it's a tap, not a run over.

Exactly. Maybe it doesn't work when you're going that slow, but cars are meant to stop. Yeah. I was going too slow. I think, you know what? My car does do that jerky thing. If it doesn't trust, I'm not going to hit that pole. I think you need to be going over a certain speed though.

Oh okay. My car went over, then I reversed in really fast because it didn't make a reaction and then jerky stopped and I was trying to reverse in. Annoying, safety but come on. So rolling towards him it'll just stop you. Yeah. Well no, I think if I'm going slow enough it'll be alright. Yeah, you're going slower.

Oh okay. Try and hit me at speed. Don't, don need- Don't hit me at speed. Oh, well let's go. Don't, don't. Let's go. Or we need Babs, because Babs did have the oldest car in the crew. She had the VW Beetle.

But she's upgraded with all the bells and whistles. And she hasn't had a pocket yet. No. Doesn't trust the cameras and the beeping. She's never been used to the beeping. No, no, no. I have that 360 degree bird's eye and I still don't really understand what it's saying I need to do.

That thing is great. It takes a while to trust the tech. I still don't understand what it's saying I need to do. The beeping until it gets ferocious, then I actually pay attention. Yeah. Something is amiss. Oh, bang! That I've hit.

Bang! Oh, was that Shy Guy? There he is, he's okay. I don't think Shy Guy would make a bang. I want to um... Bunga-dunk. It doesn't flinch. I felt the wind on that, that was very close. Very close. He's just trying to palm him in the face.

Yeah, nothing. Oh, yesterday he was having a big nap, yesterday afternoon. I did text him yesterday afternoon. Did you? He was having another big afternoon nap. But it was a pre-3pm nap, so I'm in the safe zone of a longer life. Oh good. Well, you woke up, what time did you wake up though?

I swear it was after 3. No, it's like a half past 3. I was like, I'm going to sleep. I'm going to sleep. I'm going to sleep. I'm going to sleep. I'm going to sleep. I'm going to sleep. I'm going to sleep. I'm going to sleep. a pre 3pm nap so I'm in the safe zone of

longer life. Well you woke up, what time did you wake up though? I swear it was after three. Nah it's like an hour after, it was only like an hour nap. What time did you text? Yeah because I was texting the team and you were a while before I knew that. That's right. Oh yes with the opportunity. That's a very exciting opportunity. You texted at 2.16, I replied at 2.45, I reckon I went down just after two. I went down like a baby. I went down just after two. I love the idea, he swaddles himself, sings himself a lullaby, puts himself down.

And off I go. Farewell, sweet world. Yeah, I'm gonna text you every other now. Wake up. You can. Put it in the chat, what's Shy Guy doing right now? As long as you're up before three, mate. Yeah. And you have to send us a photo. Yeah. You'll be disappointed.

Not a lot's going on at that time of the day. Yeah, but you're only 29. When you hit 30, things will change. Yeah, that's this weekend. Looking towards this Saturday. I was with another mutual friend yesterday, Ducco, who was also asking about Shy Guy checking in. And he said, oh, it's his birthday soon. I went, yeah. He goes, what's he doing for it? I went, well, it's the big 30 and none of us are invited. So he too was offended. Is that why I got the text from this person? I haven't heard from him in like a year.

Everyone wants an invite to Shy Guy's 30th and no one is invited. There also isn't a 30. Except Max and the other Luke. All these people. Where are you and Matt and Luke second hanging out? I think somewhere in Gosford. Okay. You're hanging out in Gossie. Okay. All right. Okay.

Well, have fun. Watch this space. Dachuan and I won't be there. Yeah. Good morning to you babs. Good morning. Feeling good today? You look peppy.

Pretty good. Pardon. You look a bit peppy today. Oh, thanks. Pardon. How polite. Sorry. I just realised that was very polite. What did you say? I'm going home.

I've had enough of this. Big show though team, for a Wednesday. Shark Eye Dips today. Thank god. Something to look forward to where we always end up with a winner. Unlike Alpha Box which is just disappointing us day in day out. It's just blue balls Alpha Box isn't it? Not even, sometimes it's not even.

Sometimes we don't even get out of our clothes. We don't even get horny for it. Yeah. Absolutely. There's nothing going on. Oh no. We do have that though. Flaccid. Flaccid Alpha Bucks at 6.30 and 8. It's up to you how hard you want to make it. What else are we going to call the fame? Don't underestimate the foreplay. Yeah, come on. Spit on your hand for god's sake. Help me help you. hand for God's sake. Help me help you. Yeah, come on. Come on. Come on.

Read a book. Come on. Look at something. Yes. Go online. Uh, but up next, Ducco. Yep. What do you got?

Um, the powers that be, they've identified something that Gen Z are doing in the retail space. They're slamming them for it, but I've got to tell you, it's actually one thing Gen Z are doing. I'm giving them the thumbs up. Wow. I don't think you've ever done that. No, I know. That's got me on side. Jess and Daco. Jess and Daco. I've invited Babs into the studio because we aren't talking about Gen Z.

She just walked out. She went to walk out. Yeah. Yeah. We were just catching up about what happened to her overnight. You could have used that in the top of our babs. I said, how are you? You said, good. You're not good.

She saw the time. She went, they've been going for three minutes. This is at least a two minute story. Oh, that was going to be her blog next week. Have we ruined the blog next week? Have we ruined the blog? No. I'd actually really like to talk about it.

Choking. When have you done it? Yeah. Have you been on your own? That's actually really interesting. Have you been on your own? How'd you save yourself? How'd you save yourself? Did your body save you? We found out yesterday Babs is lucky to be here today. Yeah. You choked.

I fully choked last night on my dinner. On your own? Yeah. On a rosemary twig. Twig. So the actual, yeah right. Got caught sideways. But like the leaf bit of a rosemary or the full twig. The full twig. I don't know how it got into my dinner. I eat without chewing and just guzzled it like a pelican. But sis, a twig made it into your throat. I know.

It was so strange. But it went down sidewards. So it was like, yeah, fully across my... So it blocked your thosophagus. Yeah, it did. Yeah. And instinctively your body's gone, I need to expel that. Yeah.

My body started freaking out and I just started like dry reaching and trying to vomit Oh, I did vomit like heaps until yeah, you're gonna leave dinner out. Everything's coming out I was coming out and I was just a cold. Did it come out in the first vomit and you just kept going? No, it didn't it was just like my body was like a damn wall. It was literally just pouring out Yeah, until I came out. Yeah, is your throat very scratchy now? Cause not just the bile coming up, but also having a twig. Yeah. Yeah. It feels very tender today.

Like it feels like I've got like a cold and I've got a sore throat, but obviously I don't cause immediately after. It's actually structurally. Yeah. It was just like, yeah, really sore. It feels a bit hoarse. When it came out, were you like, Oh, you could breathe again. Yeah, I did.

And then I just like stood there. I was like, Oh my God. Is there actually anything more terrifying than choking? I've eaten a like a nacho chip obviously taken too much of it in one go and not shoot. You've done that pelican again. I've done that pelican and again something sharp in the throat in the esophagus. It's a bad feeling. It's a bad feeling.

So I just got like a handful of guacamole and tried to shovel that in because I thought that would push it down. Like a soft obviously. And how'd that go? It worked well. Instead of getting it out like babes, I tried to shovel that in because I thought that would push it down like a soft obviously. And how'd that go? It worked well. Instead of getting it out like babes, I tried to push it in with the guac. Well, I immediately, the first thing I did, because I had like a Coke next to me, obviously, I just started like sculling it thinking that it would go down, but it just like all just came back up again. Coke is no match for twig.

Yeah, apparently not. Did you sit your fingers down your throat? No, I didn't have to because my, yeah. You probably just vomited it up. I just wanted to vomit. It was so weird, but what freaked me out was that no one was at home last night. Absolutely. So I was like, well, none of that has happened.

Choking is one of the strangest things because you can still breathe through your nose, but you can't. Your body just shuts down. 100%. There's an episode of Sex and the City, like OG seasons, where Miranda, who lives on her own, I think she's eating chocolate cake or something, but yeah, she chokes on it and she slams her body over the edge of her bench. So almost giving herself a Heimlich maneuver. So you can do that. And this is the thing, I've got that tidbit from- Cause you were telling Babs that off air, I was like, geez, how does Jess know how to

sell Heimlich sex in the city? It's from Sex in the City, but I go, is that classic one of those things where I've learnt it from a TV show, which is not actually what you should do? It feels like it would work. It does feel like it works. It's just momentum. I also thought in 2025 we'd moved away from the Heimlich. I thought there were studies done that you shouldn't do the Heimlich anymore. If you're alone, you're choking. You can try to dislodge the item in your throat or windpipe by performing the Heimlich maneuver on yourself. Oh, there you go. So there you go, he's doing the Miranda on the Samantha.

On the, yeah, no, it wasn't Miranda. On the chair. Samantha wasn't a choker, but Miranda. She was my favorite. Yes, amen. Obviously. He's doing it on the back of a chair. Yeah, yeah.

This is information you probably should be aware of, Vaz. Yeah, I feel like I should know that. Let's have a practice Heimlich now, just in case it happens. Come on, come on, on the desk. Yeah, try and swallow this highlighter. We're lucky to have you here today, Babs. What have you been doing? That's really scary.

That's the first thought I was like, oh, I need to go to work tomorrow. Can you imagine that's the way Babs goes? Choking on her dinner by herself. It would be so devastating because I love food and then I had to chuck out that food because I was too scared to eat it. To eat it, yeah. Oh, this is the question. How far into your dinner were you?

I literally had had like a quarter of it. And I was like, well, okay, that's fine. I'll just go to bed. Put myself to bed. You'll never be able to look at a Rosemary Bush the same way. You'll never be able to look at a Rosemary Bush the same way. You'll never be able to look at a Rosemary Bush the same way. You'll never be able to look at a Rosemary Bush the same way. You'll never be able to look at a Rosemary Bush the same way. You'll never be able to look at a Rosemary Bush the same way. You'll never be able to look at a Rosemary Bush the same way. Question, how far into your dinner were you? I literally had had like a quarter of it. And I was like, well, okay, that's fine. I'll just go to bed.

I'll put myself to bed. You'll never be able to look at a rosemary bush the same. I know. And why was a full rosemary in there anyway? Yeah, the twig, that is. Is that sewable? Can we sue? Are we suing Babs' cooking?

No, the rosemary people. Oh yeah, maybe. Whatever the rosemary came from. I feel like Babs has just chucked in a full stem. No, I have not. No, that's to be wrong. It was in the be right. It all comes out in the fry pan. Jess and Ducco. Right now we're ducking over to... Texas. It's wonderful to be here.

The belt buckles man. It's a wild world Texas. They are nowhere bigger. Huge aren't they? Than in Texas. Huge. I'd actually really like to go to Texas for the Texan barbecue. Oh, for food. Oh, you know those guys who stay up all night stoking the fires? Yeah. The brisket and what not. Yeah.

Go see the outback. Go ride a horse. Go ride a horse. Maybe do a rodeo. Don't get shot though. That is a great tip. That could happen. That is a great tip.

Definitely. Like Sammy Morris. Now I'm not sure what Sammy Morris did, just said felony. Oh that's not good. Felony we know from all American cop shows and dramas. Felony feels, if you're a felon, that's high crime. Felon is bad and a felon then becomes an issue trying to get a job. Let alone the extended prison sentence. Just reading it up, it says, in England, Wales, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, crimes are no longer classified as felonies or misdemeanours.

We just have crimes. Oh, see I like that. There's no class of crime. You commit a crime, you commit a crime. Whereas America, I think, is still stacking. Stacking crimes on crimes. You know? I see what you're saying.

Small potatoes to big fish. To big fish, right. Well this guy, obviously, Sammy Morris is his name, obviously he had a big crime. Cause he's a felon. He's a felon, right. But he's rocked up to court to the judge. Now poor Sammy reckons he had nothing else to wear because the judge has had a go at what he's wearing.

Now if you look at what Sammy's wearing, he's got a t-shirt that says, world's best fata, and then crossed out underneath and says, I mean, father. Oh, OK. He's the judge. He's the judge reacting to the world's best fatter. Good morning, sir. What made you think that was a good shirt to wear to court this morning? That's all you could find.

That's the only shirt you had in your closet. World's best fatter. That's great. No, it says, I can read it. I see what it says at the bottom. You're in felony court. You need to dress appropriately to felony court and that's not appropriate. I mean, the judge having to keep a straight face, not to put words into it, but any felon, like embezzlement.

I know, it's huge. He's facing court for embezzling two million dollars. He didn't rob a service station or something like that, like just steal a packet of Snickers. And she makes a great boy. That's the only shirt you had in your closet. That's the only top you wear. He thinks it's smart.

He's had a chat with the boys. He's goes, guys, I'm a felon, you know that. I'm going to court tomorrow. And they said, well, you're a dad, show you're a family guy. So he's worn his dad t-shirt to go, but I'm actually a father. To soften the blow. To soften the blow. Dad joke.

Cause I've got a son, I've got a daughter. I'm a dad. You know? We just talked about you accidentally slipping into, oh, oh, I'm a dad now. Uh, you know, with a few other things going on in your life, he's the same. He's gone, I'm going to lean in hard. Maybe I'll have leniency. You don't have any, we don't know.

Did he get off? He's going away for 20. I mean, the judge did not sound like she was. I'm joking. I don't know. I'm just going away. Imagine that. We'll try and check in. Shy Guy, can you get a Sammy Morris? Yeah, get a Sammy. I'm assuming he would have got the maximum sentence. That judge sounded pissed off. So actually it says in here, sorry, I've just got this.

It says that he received no feedback and that the judge made him re-adjourn and come back with a proper attire. Oh, I love that. She sent him away. She goes, I'm not even dealing with your case. So I remember my mother wouldn't let me wear a topless at the dinner table.

You come back with a shirt on young man. You come back with a better shirt. Then we can eat our cannelloni. 30 seconds to answer 10 questions all starting with the same word. I have to take your first answer. Cannot use the same answer twice and if you're unsure of the question, say pass. We come back of course if there is time. We are playing for $10,000. Our player today is Luke. Hello Luke. G'day, how are we? Luke we're fantastic but a little bit nervous. We asked for a competitor. We asked for a challenger because the past couple of, I'm gonna say weeks, Ducco. Yeah. Alpha Box has just gone downhill. It's been flaccid, Luke. It's been flaccid, Luke.

Are you going to get us hard? Yeah, come on. Hopefully we'll get it done. We'll see how we go. A looser guy who I back his skills. Amen. Luke, what do you want to spend $10,000 on? Just started my new business.

So hopefully I'll keep that up. Congratulations. What sort of business? Disability business. Oh, good on you. Okay. All right. Well, we need to help Luke prop his business up so we can better serve his community.

And the letter you're going to work with today, Luke, is C. C for community. Beautiful. All right. Your time will start after the first question. You ready? Ready to go. Starting with the letter C, we need you to name a country. Canada. A spice. Pass. A four letter word. Code. A zoo animal. Cat. A girl's name. Claire. An actress? Clara La Paz. A shoe brand?

La Paz. A musical? La Paz. A school subject? No. Damien Luke. We stayed pleasant. Stayed pleasant? I'm so disappointed.

We got ourselves like four, three and a half, four. Now, zoo animal cat. Technically there's big cats. Contentious. There's big cats in the zoo. It is contentious, isn't it? You wanna go see a big cat? You know what I mean?

You're being very kind to Luke there and I love it. I love your generosity. It's not a house cat, it's a big cat. Ah, look, four there. A Spice could have been Cinnamon or Cummin. An Actress could have been Charlize Theron, Cate Blanchett. A shoe brand, Crocs. Musical could have been Chicago. Because there are an actress could have been Charlize Theron, Kate Blanchett, a shoe brand Crocs, a musical could have been Chicago or Cats, yep, a school subject, chemistry,

computer science and then yeah that was everything. Look you didn't get the money Luke but you don't go away empty handed, $100 coming your way to spend online at Vera Flora okay? Beautiful thanks so much. Thank you Luke, good luck with the rest of the business. Thank you, appreciate it. Thank you. Do play again at 8 o'clock. Help us help you get hard. Come on. Come on. Because we only know one other Luke and normally he's pretty rigid.

He's stiff as a board, ducko. He's very stiff. Unflinching. Well. Up next. We need to circle back. We only lost a team member last night. We did and it just upsets me so much that we would have all come in this morning and just been like,

oh, Babs is late, we called her. Babs, where is she? She's sick again. And then eventually maybe gone on to her parents to find out, nah, she chose. I'd like to think they would have told us leading into it. You reckon? Like last night when she went to hospital, Babs had kicked it. I don't know. I don't know on what list of priorities we would fall with her family That's interesting just because we make so much fun

We just need someone else to do the phones if she if she has gone, you know One of your sisters available to jump on the phone Jess and Zucko Lizzo, Ariana Concur Lizzo. I also am feeling good as hell. I concur Concur just bring the rice cookers in, is our internal petty cash system. I thought you were giving that a shout out. I ripped that joke energy, that one was my best.

It's Jess and Ducco at 6.40. Hey, 131060, we're asking what's your choke on? Have you ever choked? And you know, the sun hasn't come up yet, so let's get wild. Yeah, yeah, you can interpret that any way you want. Absolutely. 131060, don't forget, call of fame, Ducko. Yeah. Oh yeah.

Origin tickets. Right. Imagine you get to be at Game 3 Decider next Wednesday, isn't it? Yeah. Plus a- No, no, it's the one after. Sorry. In two weeks time.

I love good lead up for people just to sort their lives out. You get two tickets to Origin. It's a decider. It's going to be massive. Yeah, huge. Plus accommodation. Sell out, accommodation. You're sitting next to people in the stadium and they go,

oh you bought you buy tickets now I won them because I told Justin Duck oh what I choked on. I choked on a pickle. What? Yeah, yeah, yeah, and I'll reenacted the choking sound. You gotta come on and reenact your choking sound. Oh, I love that. That's a great idea. We're talking choking though because we well, we nearly lost a team member last night. Actually really sad to think about. I've come to see her as- I don't know if we make light on sad things, is what we do. I've come to see her as- A little sister? Well, I was going to say child.

A weird cousin? Yeah, like a little sister. Definitely not child energy. Not a child energy. She rebels against us enough. But she's more mature than both of us combined. Yeah. A little sister.

And my God, if the reason she didn't show up today was because she choked on her dinner, I would have been really upset. Me too. Well, you would have been dead. Just quickly, we did speak about it about half an hour ago, but what did you choke on? I choked on like a rosemary twig. Yeah.

In your pasta, you didn't know it was in there. It was rogue. I didn't know it was in there and it got like stuck sidewards in my throat. I've actually never been prouder of you now that I think about it. You must have been hoeing into this dish. I must have been hoeing into this dish to have not chewed or felt the twig in your mouth prior to swallowing. That is a guzzler. You've gone full Jess, maybe you are daughters. You've gone full Pelican.

Maybe we're related. What a guzzler. You're morphing into her. Well done. I'm so proud of you, but the issue is if you're going to guzzle, you better not be alone because the choking has it increased as 10. Jess never eats alone, you know? She's always gonna have a minder. That's right.

I have Ducko on FaceTime and he watches. Chew it. Chew it. And then he races over to give me the Heimlich, if need be. So Babs nearly have to give herself the Heimlich. You then seriously actually had to vomit it all out. Your body just started vomiting.

It just started like violently vomiting until it came out, which was really weird. That's gross. And you'll never be able to have that pasture again, not only because you choked on it but because you've anything you vomit on you can't have again. No and then I had to chuck my dinner out because then I was too scared to eat. Let alone then the sad side of her cleaning up her own vomit. Oh yeah that was pretty gross. In the kitchen sink? It was in the bathroom sink. Even smaller. That is sad. And I bet you didn't get it all. It's probably behind the

basin, you know, like in the crevices. Oh yeah, absolutely. Did you have any thoughts? Like, because obviously you got pretty dicey. Did you actually have any thoughts? Did your life flash before your eyes? It actually did. I was like panicking. I was fully like, oh my God, oh my God, like I'm actually going to die. She's only done 24 years on this Earth, Ducco. That's a quick flash. And then I was like motivated. I was like like I'm not going out by this rosemary vomiting yeah I'm like get it up maybe just put your life upside down yeah maybe it's fits bow now baby let's go people who have had near-death experiences usually yeah complete 180 yeah maybe I'll get skinny now I don't

know did you did you did we pop into your head at all? With the near death? Were we any of- Were you like, who's going to answer the phone tomorrow? What would my team do? The guys are going to need me more. Who's going to print their article? I don't have any sick leave! That's probably more what she was thinking. I can't afford to be sick right now. I hate my life. I get paid hourly.

But it begs the question. What'd you choke on? What'd you choke on? We go to Lily on 13 10 60. Good morning Lily. Good morning guys. What'd you choke on, Lil? I was raising my sister for the last pancake in the house.

I was raising my sister for the last pancake in the house. I was raising my sister for the last pancake in the house. I was raising my sister for the last pancake in the house. I was raising my sister for the last pancake in the house. I was raising my sister for the last pancake in the house. I was raising my sister for the last pancake in the house. I was raising my sister for the last pancake in the house. I was raising my sister for the last pancake in the house. I was raising my sister for the last pancake in the house. What'd you choke on? We go to Lily on 13 10 60. Good morning Lily. Good morning guys. What'd you choke on Lil? I was raising my sister for the last pancake in the house and yeah I choked on it, ran to the toilet, it was like trying to yell at my mum. She came in and then I came back out after choking and thrown up in the toilet and no

more pancakes. So I cried over that, over not over the choking. So your body did the same things as Babs Lily, it just vomited up for you. Yeah, straight away just ran straight to the toilet because I knew it was coming and yeah. That's interesting. And what kind of pancake were you talking about? A little puffage or were you talking about a full pancake, a crepe? No, it was a full pancake. A thick one. Oh fluffy. Yeah, because our family mixes them with milk,

not with water. So it was a thick one. Oh, stodgy. Sweet Lily, come on, let's go. Can you eat pancakes again? Yeah. Love them. I cried cause I didn't get the last one. That's a great lesson for the kids.

Get back on the horse. Always eat, keep eating pancakes. Keep eating. You just chew your food. You're one pancake away from death. No, that's, there's something in it. I'm just trying to work it out. I don't hate it.

Yeah. I don't hate it. How about that perhaps? For you, one Rosemary Twig away. But you shouldn't eat Twigs. 13, 10, 60. Continue this conversation next. What'd you choke on?

What'd you choke on? Did you die? And is this vomiting a thing? Like did you continue to vomit? Did you give yourself the Heimlich? We're trying to work out if Miranda in Sex and the City, where she thrust herself over the bench, is that accurate? Or is that just Hollywood?

Yep. 131060 we'll get you on that. Yes and ducko. Yes and ducko. It was the end of the world for Babs yesterday. We're lucky to have her. We nearly didn't have our producer, phone operator. Holy crap, who would have written the Alphabucks questions?

Geez, you would have seen a job ad pretty fast, wouldn't you? We would have text her younger sisters and her housemates, hey, you spend enough time with her. As she talk about her job enough, do you know how to do it? The body's not even cold and we got our sisters in here. Darcy! Darcy's in here! Get her on the payroll!

Darcy's on the phones! Or her dad, who is an excellent contributor to this program. If you did miss it, Babs choked on a rosemary tweet because she was guzzling in her pasta dinner, but she was on her own. Tears are streaming and her body thankfully just vomited it all up. Yacked it all up. She lives to tell another tale. But Babs, we've just received a text from Damo.

Yeah, he just texted and said hot sausage. As in he choked on a hot sausage. I was just saying that to his... Great set up. Well done. Darcy probably could have done that better. Hey, my little hot sausage. Sorry, clarify that one. No, he choked on a hot sausage. Great setup, well done. Darcy probably could have done that better. Hey my little hot sausage.

Sorry, clarify that one. No, he joked on a hot sausage. That's tomorrow's phone. What's the inappropriate nickname your dad has for you? I stand as a little helper. What? Oh, you'll produce a hot sausage now. Your hot sausage.

Hey, hot sausage. Daymo, you gotta produce a hot sausage now. Your hot sausage. Your hot sausage. Hi, hot sausage. Daymo, you gotta chew your hot sausage. Daymo, chew the hot sausage, you dirty god. You know, he was trying to pelican a hot sausage. You can't. You can't be doing that, Daymo. Oh, that takes years of practice. It does.

We go to Rees. Hello, Rees. Good morning to you. G'day guys, how are we? Rees, we couldn't be better. We're talking about choking on hot sausages. You go to Reese. Hello Reese, good morning to you. G'day guys, how are we? Reese, we couldn't be better. We're talking about choking on hot sausages. I mean, we are living the dream.

I've got the topic for that. Good, what have you got for us? Long story short, chokes on some curry sausages. You actually did! Hang on, from hot sausage to curry sausage. That's the topic pretty well. Oh, that's funny. Who had prepared the curried sausage, Rhys, yourself?

It was me, of course. But it wasn't fully cut up in some shots. Ah, okay. So you've diced the sausage, the curried sausage, but you haven't diced it thinly enough. I wouldn't call it dicing. I would say I've barely chopped it and caught it good enough. Oh, good enough. Rhys was like, I'm starving and this is going to slap. This will do it. I'm getting it in.

Yeah, I'd like some Reece. Curry and sausage is one of those meals that I never order but when I have I like. I couldn't tell you. Nothing is less appealing to me. Don't get it at an airport though. High risk before you fly. Or Bay Marie curry sausage. Yeah, I did that.

Are you crazy? On my way to Singapore I I was like I'm loose I'm getting a curry sausage. Oh god I polished that toilet didn't I. You drove that porcelain bus all the way to Singapore. So Reece you choked on the curry sausage. How did you save yourself? Did you have to heimlich? Well you see I was on FaceTime with my ex and she didn't believe me at the time. She thought I was putting it on and then I, yeah, I fully started choking. Sorry, was she your ex while you were FaceTiming or she was your partner at the time? She was my partner.

I was going to say that's a weird conversation. You're talking to your ex, talking about custody of the dog. Yeah, well, me too. And you're just eating your curry sausage. Did you Heimlich yourself, Rhysa? How did you get it out? I coughed and coughed and coughed like I was a 40 year old smoker. Yeah, yeah, and then it came up. Can you look at a curried sausage the same, Reece?

Oh, absolutely. He's back on the horse. You always gotta get back on the curried sausage. Do not ever not have a curried sausage. He nearly killed him. I know. We go to Sam on 13 10 60. Hello, Sam. Hello, how are you? We're good. We go to Sam on 13 1060. Hello Sam.

Hello, how are you? Oh, we're good. What'd you uh, what'd you choke on? I was back in school, do you know? Those cop lollies and they were honey nucleus and they were massive brown things. Mmm. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, so I was in class being a little discreet because obviously we weren't allowed any lollies. And it went down sideways and

I was, oh my god, I couldn't breathe, I started to see black and yeah, so the teacher actually gives the Heimlich Remover. On you? Yep. Oh my god, yeah, on me. And did it like in the movie Sam where it shot out of your mouth? Um, I don't think so. I was pretty out of it. Oh. Um, but I will never ever ever forget it.

And it actually triggered an eating disorder because I refused to eat. Oh, of course. Oh my god, you wouldn't get anything in. You'd be scared of it. You're young enough. I refused to put, yeah, refused to put anything in my mouth. Um, I mean, obviously I'm okay now because I'm a Michelin man. I mean I'm doing alright now, I'm choked on some kilos. I'm made up for lost time.

Look at me now dad. Sam that's wild. Oh well shout out to the teacher that saved your life, you remember their names? No I don't, I think it was Mr. Kiriokitis, I think. Mr. Kiriokitis? Yeah. Shout out to a Greek, I'm assuming. Yeah, he knows.

Yassou. Oh my god. Wow, thank you, Sam. That's wild. That is crazy. I always wonder, teachers and daycare educators, they'd all have to have their first day, but you don't think you're going to have to do it. Yeah, in the moment. And Mr. Kiriokitis has just saved Sam's life.

She's lived to tell another tale. Get on you, Mr. Kiriokitis. Oh my god. Evan on 13 10 60 what'd you choke on Ev? Yeah I choked on raw of the bacon, bacon raw. Bacon raw? Why were you eating bacon raw? Yeah. You didn't have to cook bacon. It was still on the bacon obviously when it was cooked and yeah I just remember eating it one time and next minute I started choking pretty bad, I was pretty young and I literally had to like stick my fingers down my throat and pull it out and it come out in one big string. Oh you mean like the fatty part, like the rind of the bacon? Yeah, rinds!

When you said raw I was like, we're raw talking bacon now? No! Evan! You must have been starving for some bacon. You didn't even chew it, just swallowed it whole. I love my bacon, I love my bacon. He loves his bacon. Big pig man.

Huge pig guy, Ev. So then you pulled it out in the string and you could feel it tickling your throat coming all the way out. Yeah, I was pretty young at the time and yeah, it was pretty scary. It's something I've always remembered and always been careful ever since. Could you go back to bacon, Ev? Or you're like, not. Oh yeah, still love bacon.

Still love bacon. Ev still loves his bacon. I used to do that as a kid, Ducco. I would swallow a spaghetti, but hold one end so it would go down my throat and then I could pull it up. Shocked. I'm shocked at that. Yeah.

Yeah. You and those freaks who put it through their nose as well. Then it come out their mouth. You know, there's always those kids. Yeah. And you like floss your internal pipes. Yeah, yeah, of course. Uh, Natalie on 13 10 60, what'd you choke on that?

A fly. A what? A fly. Oh, fly. A fly. It flew in my mouth and I was laughing at the time, walking with my sister talking away and then I just started gagging and choking. She's like, what the hell? And I'm like, a fly. And then she started gagging and choking. She's like, what the hell?

And I'm like, I'm fine. And then she started gagging and we were all, yeah, all over a fly. Everyone's like, yeah, yeah. Yes, yes. And I'm like, and I was trying to get it out because that's just gross. And it was disgusting, but it was funny at the time, but it wasn't. It was for me. It was gross.

Did it come back out Nat or did you swallow him? I swallowed him and I felt sick the whole day. You might fly now. Yeah, valet to that fly. I reckon that fly was like, I'm done. I'm out of here. I'm flying into that lady's mouth. Here she comes, here's Natalie, she looks good. We've got one more here, these have been great. Let's land us in the Hudson, Chris. 13 10 60. What Chris did you choke on? Cheeseburger, mate. Oh, hang on.

Chris, were you driving at the time? Everyone likes a little cheeky drive through cheeseburger. No, I was actually at the Maccas closest to where you guys are, at the studio there. That gives you any point of where I am. It does, yeah. So you were being intoxicated or? No, I was lunch break. studio there. Yeah. That gives you any point of where I am. It does. Yeah, it does. So you're being intoxicated or? No, I was lunch break. Oh, okay. And my mate that I was with at the time decided that he'd dare me to try and eat a cheeseburger in one go.

What do you mean shove the whole thing in your mouth? I understand we've just asked what'd you choke on but how did that turn out for you, Chris? Yeah, so my throat tried to swallow it all in one go and then my body tried to reject it at the same time. So I just, it wanted to go down, but wanted to come out at the same time. For about 30 seconds, I reckon. Felt like a lifetime. And what was the technique? Did you wet the mouth? Did you scrunch it into a ball to put it in?

I just jammed it in there. See you later. Wow. So did you end up getting it down Chris or did you have to spit it back out? No I jumped out of the truck that I was sitting in and I don't know if that helped get it back out but it did come out. It came out. Okay. Cause of death cheeseburger. You don't want that on your tombstone. No. Don't get it with a cheeseburger.

Oh, just classic lads on their lunch break. Yeah, yeah. Come on, Chris. You won't need to. He's got three of them. You won't need to fool one of those. Come on, Chris. Oh, I've nearly killed Chris.

Jess and Ducco. I reckon producer Shy 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, dear. I'm so excited, I want Shy Guy's box. Yes, you should be. It is that time of the week again where Shy Lord, the Shy Minister for Darkness, has his little cereal box and you've got to guess.

Box boy! Box boy! Has his cereal and you've got to guess what he's eating. And today, Jess, this cereal threw me. I've never had this before. I've never seen this before. You were really excited when you saw this cereal. I wasn't excited! It might be a supplementary clue.

Oh here we go! This is a THICC box! That was one of my clues. Oh I apologise. You've given it away. I can't even... I can barely get... It's an odd-leashed size for its thickness.

It's a weird size isn't it? Right? It's a Chode get it. It's an odd-leash size for its thickness. It's a weird size, isn't it? Right, it's a Chodey box. It's Chode. It's a Chip-a-lada of boxes.

You've had this cereal for 24 hours. It's ridiculous. It's like we surprise him every Wednesday at 7 o'clock not like we've

played this game for two years at this very time slot. Oh yesterday I was out with him reading the box. Yesterday I was out with him and produced a him reading the box. Yesterday I was out with him and producer Hot Sausage, and we were discussing this cereal in detail, and I said, I might even have a bite tomorrow. How's that as a clue? Hello. That's two supplementary clues. My thick box, Ducco's gonna try it.

Say something, Shy Guy. One word. Ah, there he is. Serial name, there is one. There's the genius at work, ladies and gentlemen. Mate, he's firing today. That and thick box. Thick box, one word. 13 10 60, you'll get another clue when you call it if you're first.

This is an elite, exclusive pool of rice cookers who can hold their head up and say, I won Shy Guy's box. I'm a box winner.

I'm a box winner because I was able to decipher a series of nonsensical clues and put them all together. We have heard... You're smelling them. Yeah, don't smell them. That's an early open. You're having a sniff. Yeah.

We have heard this cereal has one word in its title. Yep. Sophie, very quick on the phone, gets another clue. Good morning, Sophie. Good morning. Now, Sophie, Shy Guy's already opened the packet. This is humongous. What extra clue do you have for Sophie?

This is a really good clue Sophie. There's a lot of O's. Oh my god. Sophie, what do you think? I think they're Suncoes. One more time? Suncoes? Suncoes? I've never heard of a Suncoe. It is not the Suncoe, but I feel like that's in the right realm.

Thank you, Sophie. How many are out there that we've not even heard? It's crazy, isn't it? I've never heard of a Sunco. It is not the Sunco, but I feel like that's in the right realm. Thank you, Sophie. 131060. How many are out there that we've not even heard? It's crazy, isn't it? Let's go to Melissa, but 131060, if you would like to dip. This is probably the lightest on the calls I've seen the rice cookers, and they love this game, which tells me that they don't know.

It's a hard one. Yeah. Mel, hello? Hello. We've heard it's one word, and there's many hard one. Yeah. Mel, hello? Hello. We've heard it's one word and there's many O's. I gave a free clue. It's a thick box. But you get a proper official clue from the serial lord himself. Made in Germany. Oh my god. Just like a BMW. Das Auto. Oh my god. That's Volkswagen, but yeah also after me.

Same area, isn't it but yeah, same area. 100%. Melissa, what do you reckon? Can I just ask, what did Sophie say before? Because it cut out. Her guess was Funkos or Suncos. Suncos or yeah. Something with Suncos or yeah.

Something, yeah. It wasn't right. Alright, let's just go Cheerios. See Cheerios is what I would guess. And you're very much in the realm. I reckon she's flirting with it. You are flirting with it. Now that Shy Guy's opened the bag, she's absolute.

Have a sniff. Give it a whiff. It smells like cardboard. Oh, it smells like cardboard. Oh yeah. That is it. What did you tell me? Give us another clue, because you were telling Babs and I that clue off there when we were

walking, when you were reading some of the ingredients. Oh yeah. Yeah. Should it be duck-o-dips? Yeah, I know. Well, we're gonna... We'll just reading some of the ingredients. Oh yeah. Yeah. Should it be duck o' dips? Yeah, I know. Well, we're gonna... We'll just get another clue anyway. There it is. Well, hold, Tammy's on the line.

Tammy, good morning to you. Hi guys, how you going? So good. Fantastic. We've heard it's one word. There's many O's. It's made in Germany, Tammy, and... There's four types of whole grains.

There you go. That's a big one. I didn't even know there was four. Chaka's never heard of a whole grain. There you go, that's a big one. I didn't even know there was four. Chaka's never heard of a whole grain. Well, I thought it was just one. What do you reckon, Tammy? I think it's neutral grain.

Ooh. What are the O's in neutral grain, Tammy? You gotta put all the clues together. Well, it depends how you spell it. Neutral grain. That's how we would spell it. Thank you, Tammy. Not neutral grain, not suncos or Funko's and not Cheerios.

Although NutriGrain has the holes in the cereal but it's not right. Oh do you think that's how she's interpreted the O's? I'm playing the dry, meaning we've got to wrap this puppy up. Jodie, come on. Hi, how are you going? We couldn't be better babe, we're trying to get you a box of cereal just to look after your breakfast for the next couple of days. It's... got one word. Hole! There's many O's.

There's Made in Germany. And it's four types of whole grain. I think you get another clue though. Yep. Okay. They're not... Here we go. How about this? How about this?

It's an anti-clue. Can I give a clue? Yeah, you can do a clue. Oh, here we go. Ducco did. It's Made in Germany, but it's an Australian name title. Oh! That's a hell Australian name title. Oh! That's a hell of a clue.

Oh yeah? Yeah. Okay, well I had hula hoops? Ooh, hula hoops is incorrect. You're flirting with it. I'm going to give a supplementary clue. You got the first letter correct. Scotty!

Scotty! Good morning, Scot. Hey, I was going to say Froot Loops. I just told Jodie she had the first letter with hula hoops. Which means it starts with H. Hang on Scott didn't get a supplementary clue. There's three colours of each of these ringed shaped cereals. Do you want to take another guess Scott? I have no idea. Hey this is the most stumped we've been.

Totally and to be fair I did say I've never even heard of this one. I've never seen it on the shelves. I'm going to give another clue as well Ducco. We're going off the rails. If you are feeling true blue, if you are Salter to the Earth, a good down to earth Aussie Sheela or bloke, this is the way you might say farewell

to a colleague or friend. Or hello, no farewell. It's a hello as well is it? No it's goodbye isn't it? We go to Scotty. Good morning Scotty. G'day guys, how are ya? Yeah good Scotty, you get another clue? This feels right. I know what it is. Oh he doesn't even want a clue. What is it Scotty? Go for it. Are you familiar with the Hooroo? Yeah I've only tried them once but they're pretty good. Oh he likes them. He likes them. Well you've got a whole box coming your way Scotty. Yes you do. Before we let you go, this has gone on long enough so let's hope Scotty's a one-take wonder. Yeah yeah yeah. Scotty we want a nice, clear, crisp hi my name's Scotty and I'm so excited I just won Shy Guy's box. Box yep. Hi my name's Scotty and I'm so excited I just won Shy Guy's box. Yeah! Amazing! See ya day old'un! Jess and Ducko. You've heard the phrase beer goggles, Ducko.

It's when you've had a couple of beverages. Have you ever played that beer goggles game? You put the goggles on? Oh, it's a fun game. I'll play with you guys. Is it a point where you've had four and then you put the beer goggles on and everyone in the bar starts looking, you know, what may have been four out of 10 starts looking nine out of 10?

Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think I had a beer goggle incident yesterday, but with an idea and I'll in the clear light of day, stone cold sober, I need you to tell me, did I have beer goggles on when I was listening to a rice cookers idea for something we could do on the program or is this genuinely a great idea? Okay. She too had had a couple of beverages.

I was out MCing an event and the wines and the beers were flowing. She's on a Tuesday as well. On a Tuesday, Dal. It's the only day of the week you can't justify drinking alcohol, you know. But you know what it's funny because I did meet some excellent rice cookers throughout the afternoon and they were like, oh, look at you, you know, you work this morning. I said, I actually like cramming the work in during the workday, Monday to Friday, cause then I have quiet weekend.

Cause then I don't feel like I've worked six or seven days. I just cram it all in. But I met Tracy at the end of the day, ducko. And now we're talking in an 11 AM to 3 PM event. So there has been a multitude of enjoyment. Yep. Tracy comes up to me, we're having a great chat, she's a big fan, she had a lot of compliments, so she's hooked me in and I'm all ears. And she said, do I have an idea for you and Ducco? Hit me, Trace. Now she actually sent me a video, but I only remembered, so I can't play it for you. I'll articulate, watch her.

That video would be like, and look how grainy it is. Like it was, it's a, it's a shambles. But what Tracy's idea is, uh, she's on the road a lot. That's where she listens to us, but she's going past a lot of construction size. She goes, God, there's so much work happening on the road. You and Ducco should start a competition for the best digger dance. She said she has seen and been stuck at construction sites, you know, with the

stop slow, she has watched a lot of people, mainly dudes on construction sites who are working the digger and she goes, have you ever noticed how elegant a digger is? They swoop down with that big arm. They claw a big pile of dirt up. They swing it around. She goes, they're basically doing a synchronized dance. You should try and find the best digger operator who can do the most elegant digger dance.

She's fleshing it out. She goes, maybe you guys could get on the road and try and find construction sites, broadcast find construction sites, broadcast from construction sites. She said, maybe it could be a social media competition. People submit from the job site. They're digger dancers. She goes, it's got legs.

I said, I'm gonna take it to the team. It's got legs, Jess, put me in, sub me in. And then she got her phone out and started filming us articulating this idea, which I just remembered. We should start a podcast. She's texted me and I went and I looked Tracy in the eye and I said, Trace, I'm going to bring it to the team. And here we are.

Does it have legs, Trace? I don't mind the idea of seeing the digger machines dance. Totally. Because it is cool to see that. And if we can get all Trace to do it at the same time. Yes. And she was talking about getting a whole lineup. She goes goes maybe you could find the top five top ten and then choreograph a dance. Yeah I must admit at first I thought she meant like the tradies doing a dance on site. Oh no she meant the operator, the actual operator in the machine doing some sort of coordinated synchronized movement but she

thinks it's the most elegant thing on the roads. That's interesting, oh she's seen enough of them. She's seen enough of them and she went there's something in it The precision it takes to use those things is pretty cool because you've only got the two levers inside and you say that from experience This is me judging on the toy digger I assume it's too late. I thought they were just miniature replicas. It could be too, I don't know. But Tracy also identified the swivelly chair. Because have you noticed they swivel internally?

That's fun. There is actually a lot going on. There's a bit on in there. Inside a digger. Yeah. Oh yeah, I mean, look, if there's any trays out there that want to film their digger dancing. And submit it. They can do that.

Maybe we can get a compilation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'd have to do it at a set time on a set day and play a song. I love that. And they've all got to film themselves listening to the song, doing it. Do they have radios inside the diggers? Oh, there'd be some sort of internal radio system or feedback system. I love that idea.

Feedback system. Well, they've got to have walkie talkie. They've got to be able to talk to the site operator. The foreman has got to be able to talk to the guy. Did you just Google buzzwords on a job site? Tracy and I got real deep. She knew stuff about diggers. I obviously am very passionate about construction. Well, the Tracey's want to get in.

Do you like Tracy's idea? I don't mind the idea. Because she said, she goes, you can take credit. You take it to the team. I went, no, no. You do all the work, but you take the credit. Credit where credit's due. Yeah, yeah. So yeah, reckon it's got legs. I mean, look, we'd have to, we'd have to.

We'll flesh it out a bit more. We'd put feelers out there to the. Shagah doesn't like it. I can tell that. The body language is awful. I'm getting a side dose. Love it. Okay.

What else have we done in the trade space though, Shagah? I think this is an untapped market. Any traders out there listening, you can either call in 13 10 60. I'd love to talk to a digger operator. Or text us 04 8 8 8 1 0 6 9. How many levers you got in there? How many levers? Does this have legs?

Would you do this? Oh, that's actually the question. Are you going to be willing participants? Because I reckon the guy that Tracy witnessed looking so elegant, he was just doing his job. He was into it. Whereas Tracy's saying it looks like he's doing a choreographed dance. Would you be into it? Would you be involved?

I don't know what the prize is. I don't even think there is a prize attached. A giz bit and a fridge magnet, mate. Come on. Stick it to your digger. Stick it to your digger. There you go. Now you're on board.

Okay. We're flushing. See, this is what brainstorming. You're such a poo-pooer. This is radio, baby. This is what we do. We need to get a couple of Shiraz's into him because that's the headspace Tracy and I were in when we were coming up with this great idea. Yeah, we could try it. I just don't know where it goes.

We've had no calls, texts or DMs. It's very visual is my only issue. And we are radio. And if we're doing it in multiple locations, which one do we focus on? But that's why maybe it could just be a social media thing. I don't mind that. People submit. People submit. We know when we do Friday Bangers, got it right, on Fridays, tradies love that. They do. They have many opinions. Strawberry Kisses, Nicky Webster, they're all pumping out loud.

Absolutely. Saddle Club, Hello World. Yep. So if you're a tradie out there, if you want to give it a go. If you want to give it a go and submit a video, we'll flesh it out behind the scenes, but I reckon Trace. Trace. Pretty good.

13 10 60. We'll get you on next or 04 8 8 8 1 0 6 9 text in. Do you work a digger? Do you work a digger? Do you like it? Would you do it? Would you do it? The digger dancing.

Do you feel elegant and would you like to be acknowledged for that elegance? Absolutely. You're essentially, you're an artist and the digger is your paintbrush. Oh my God. The soil is your canvas. Mate! Thank you so much. Good!

How many Shirazes have you had? Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. 13 1060, we put the call out there for tradies, particularly tradies operating diggers. That's right. I met a fantastically inebriated rice cooker yesterday, Ducco, at an event I was emceeing and I didn't know, did I too have the beer goggles on for her idea? She said, Jess, you and Ducco should either get out on the road or start some sort of social media campaign. Get the steel boots on, the

hard hats on and get out to work sites. Get out to work sites because she thinks one of the most elegant, beautiful sites in nature is seeing a tradie operator digger and do the digger dance. It's elegant, it's beautiful, she says it's a testament to the skill and what she'd really like to see is a lineup of five to ten doing some sort of choreography. She went look I don't know how you make it work but it needs to be done. I could see you were sort of it work, but it needs to be done. I could see you were sort of coming around. Shy Guy's got the wall up straight away, thinks it's too hard. But you said, let's speak to the men in the cockpit, men or women, if you are behind the levers of a digger. The double lever.

First thing, we'll confirm if it is two levers. I went in real confident with a double lever. We got to Andrew on 13 10 60. Good morning to you, Andrew. Good morning, mate. You're a digger operator. I am a digger operator. Can you confirm or deny how many levers are inside a digger? There are four, including this. There are two for your hands and two for your feet.

Ah, there you go. Two for the feet, two for the hands. Okay, I was only familiar with the hand ones. Now, Andrew, as a digger operator, as the artist with the digger being your paintbrush, do you think this would be doable? I reckon it would be doable, but it's just trying to get onto a site that would allow you to come out.

That would be the hardest thing. Oh, you're talking OH&S stuff now, Andrew. I am. I currently work on a big bypass system in Costa Armas. Oh, yep. Okay, so you'd have multiple diggers going Andrew but you're saying these two idiots rocking up may be an issue. Yeah yeah you might have to sit outside the fence. Oh okay so we would be like, I want to be inside the fence but if I have to I'll sit outside the

fence. What course would we have to do to be allowed on site Andrew? Is it some sort of a work safety? Yeah probably an hour long induction I've got my boat license if that helps. You've got to get your hardhats, seal boots. Yeah, seal boots. We look great in a hardhat. Are they hard to operate? Are they hard to use? If you're first in the seat, it can take a little bit. There are a lot of movements, but once you get pretty fluent, it's second nature. So we need seasoned digger operators. We can't be having no first year apprentices. We need veterans. Andrew, what did you think of Tracy's idea about maybe getting you all to film a bit of choreography and then we could, I don't know, do a social media movement to really prop up the digger operators?

I call it a movement. I want to celebrate the digger operators. Celebrate the digger, but no one's celebrating the diggers Andrew. How'd this feel? Mate, this feels, it'd feel alright for someone like me that's a bit younger, but if you get someone a bit older that doesn't probably know what choreography means. It doesn't listen to Jason Ducker. It could be a little difficult. You get your triple M listener, you get triple M digger listener. Well they can stay down the hall.

Andrew's given us some excellent insight. Thank you, Andrew. You're a legend. Mainly about the four leavers. We go to Sass on 13 10 60. Good morning, Sass. What do you think of this idea, Sass? Getting some dancing diggers.

So there's actually a team that does that professionally. Shut up. Is this already a thing? I did you know it. So look up JCB dancing diggers. They used to perform at the Denny Utrelster all the time. Oh yes.

The Denny Utrelster, I'm familiar with. I've got a vision of them now. They're very good. Oh my God. But they actually get out of the digger and do some stuff. Cool. Like to sit there and watch.

Tracy's definitely under something. But yeah, if you guys need some info. Look at that. That's amazing. The JCB, maybe Trace or the need some hints for it. Look at that. That's amazing. The JCB, maybe Trace or the JCB and went, let's copy that. JCB dancing dingers, no disrespect though. Like are they true blue tradies though or have they just learnt this for a gimmick?

They're like the firefighters you get at a hen's party. They're not real. I didn't know they weren't real firefighters until I started getting naked. I didn't, how am I to know that? So there's a fire in here, why are you taking your pants off? Are they bringing the whole thing into disrepute? We want to get grassroots. We do.

Like the Andrews out there who need to be propped up and celebrated. Andrew felt like our kind of guy. Exactly, whereas these JCB jokers... How dare they. How dare they. Taking jobs off real diggers. We did put it out to the text line as well and someone said, D's nuts on 04888106.

Thank you so much for your contribution. Anyway, watch this space guys. We'll work on a behind the scenes team. I hope that was interesting for you. Jess and Zucko. We've been invited. Yeah. What have we been invited to?

To go to a coal mine. Well, that sounds fun. That'd have a lot of diggers. I would be like Derek Zoolander in a coal mine. I've not been back long. make that have a lot of tickets. I would be like Derek Zoolander in a coal mine. Nah, I'd fit in. Dance for me, diggers. I've got, I've got RMs and some busty jeans. Come on.

You'd forget where you were there and start throwing dollar bills at the diggers. I wouldn't. Come on, take it off. No, I'd, what I'd do. Go slower, Andrew. I guarantee. Take your time, Andrew. Snail trail, use that.

And the bouncer comes over being like, no hands, Ducco, no hands. Don't touch the dancers. No more touching. What I would do is I would go full bogan and I would just start. Oh, yeah, oh, rude. G'day boys, how are we fellas? Yeah, that's a big one. You'd bring your Tupperware of curried sausage to site.

Absolutely, it'd be cold too. I don't eat this stuff cold. And I'd be saying numbers. Is that the G749XX1? Do you know what? You've probably absolutely nailed that. Numbers and letters. Just say things.

Yeah, good times. Anyway, we're fleshing that out. So we can go there because they've got diggers. I don't know who Sue is and what she's in charge of, but she said, I can get you to a coal mine. So she's got access to diggers. Just like the idea of you, me, Shy Guy and produce a hot sausage in a coal mine. Like we would be coordinating, dancing diggers.

Or we are matching jumpers. When you think Jess and Daco, I think that's what you think of. I think so. Don't put us in a box. Wouldn't that and Dago, I think that's what you think of. I think so. Don't put us in a box. Wouldn't that be fun, Shag? That's a bit of bonding. I've got a white card.

I could be on a job site. What's a white card? That's what you need to be on a job site. Why do you have that? Hello? Just in case radio... You are an enigma. What?

Is that in case radio goes belly up? You could just go back to your roots. I was going to say, you've been in radio for a decade. When did you get time to get a white card? When I was like really young young my dad used to put me on his sites. Do they not expire? No they don't expire. Really? So one white card stays. I would have thought so. So what does a white card allow you on any website? Okay well we got Mr White Card. A shy guy can get a white card. Surely you and I can get a white card. I didn't get a white card.

Do we want to? Can we just go with him because he's got one. Oh plus one. Plus two. Yeah plus two. Just hot sausage need a white card. Oh, I didn't want to get a white card. It's easy. Yeah. But do we want to? Can we just go with him? Because he's got one. Oh, plus one. Plus two. Yeah, plus two. Does hot sausage need a white card? You can be Shy Guy's plus one and I'll be Babs's.

As if Babs's dad doesn't have a white card that we can dig out somewhere. That's right. He knows aircons. He knows. He definitely would have one. Yeah, see that. Beyond the electrical business. He has to.

There you go. Oh my god. Does Sparky's need a digger? Thing is, we'll rock up on this work site. Now guess what do you guys want to do? Like we don't really know. Could you spin your diggers around? Oh, they've spun them 360.

To Benson Boone, 5, 6, 7, 8. These beautiful things that I've done. Flick, flick. I love it. Scoop, scoop. Watch this space. Watch this space. All best ideas come from a couple of choruses.

Hey, up next, speaking of ideas, I gotta tell you about this. My parents, unfortunately, have been going to a few funerals lately. Let's bring the tone down. Pivoting, pivoting though. Something is happening at funerals now, which is apparently all the rage, which is new. Have you got hot funeral goss? I've got funeral goss. Have you got your finger on the funeral goss? Have you realised how that sounds as I say it? Fresh from the coffin, I've got funeral goss? I got funeral goss. Have you got your finger on the funeral goss?

Have you realized how that sounds as I say it? Fresh from the coffin, I've got funeral goss. I was about to say it's hard to have your finger on the poles of a dead person. They're cold. Icy cold funeral goss. No, no. Seriously though, it's quite interesting Jess and it will affect you and me come funeral time. Oh no.

Okay. Something I think we could either make money from, or it'd be a lot of work and a heavy burden. But you've got my interest. So my parents have unfortunately, sadly gone to a few funerals lately, but then they told me something which stumped me cause they were asking for like, dad called me and goes, you won't believe it. I've been asked to MC this funeral.

I was like, what do you mean? They said the last funeral they went to, there was an actual MC as well. So not a celebrant. Not a celebrant, but like equivalent, right? Equivalent. So sort of doing the housekeeping, keeping it moving, introducing the segments, so to speak. Yes, the speakers, but how's this all changed? So I guess traditionally you, you an employee a funeral service, they can sort of run that or you get the church to do it and maybe the priest does that, whatever.

Now instead of having a eulogy or two eulogies or whatever and following that format, they're having an MC who also, like a wedding, will do like a little spiel of their own, like a speech on the person. Oh, I've got to set it up. And then there's three speeches, they're abouts of different people in their lives. They're not eulogies anymore, they're speeches. And obviously they're focusing more on like a celebration of life, which I don't mind. But then dad said, now I've been asked to MC, for this specific funeral.

They're like, they want dad to co-MC it with someone. So there's two MCs. I'm like, that feels busy for a funeral. That does feel busy. And now it's feeling a bit showy. It's almost a performance, which to be honest, I don't hate. Because as you said, I think we are moving away from stock standard. And if it's a religious or a faith thing, fair enough.

Or even if that's just reflective of the person. But we want them to be joyful in a way. You want to celebrate the life. The issue is who's asking, is it the spouse left behind? Both these times to get the MCs, it was the spouses that asked. And that's the thing when this- And that's how they phrase it, can you MC? MC, yeah.

And because Dad obviously, he was a journalist and he can MC events and whatever, so he'd be smooth and polished at it. But then when they asked him to co-MC, he's like, I can't really tell the spouse who's mourning that I think co-MCing is a bad idea. It's like a wedding where you can be like, oh look, this should work. I know, because then are you brainstorming ideas? Because what if one of you wants to come at it sombre, serious, let's talk about it. It's like a wedding where you can be like, oh look, this is how this should work. I know because then are your brainstorming ideas because what if one of you wants to come at it somber, serious, let's talk about death and family. And do you crack a few funnies? Like, do you try and light the mood or do you just keep it moving forward? Well that's the thing and that's

where the role of the MC comes into play. When I MC things, I am all about let's keep this show moving, don't bore us, get to the chorus. Keep it tidy. But something like a funeral, I guess you do want to have a reflection of, you know, Them. Them, but also the seriousness and the gravity and the whole they've left. How do you do that with a bit of spark and a bit of sizzle? I don't know. It was bizarre. I'll let you know how he goes.

He's doing it. Yeah. I think it's next week and he's going to do it. And so I'm very intrigued to see how it goes. How's he going to razzle dazzle the crowd? I don't know. And how's he going to go full of current affair on them? But this is my thing is, you know how many bloody weddings I have MC'd for my friends?

You have rarely been a guest. Yeah, rarely. Since I've known you, cause now we got into everyone's getting married around our age. You are rarely a guest. You are never a bystander. You've got a job, whether you're best man, groomsman, or God forbid all three. Can you imagine when my friends start kicking it? Oh my God, all the spouses are coming to the Duckman. The emcee work will be through

the roof. And what was your bio age the other day? Your fancy watch can tell you you're eight years younger. You are outliving all your buddies. That's what I'm thinking. There's money to be made at the back end of life Jess. Hang on a minute now Duckie, you're charging. Well. your friend has just carked at it and now you're going to tell the spouse, yeah, I'll do it for a grand. I'm so sorry if you lost. Here's my BSP and account number. I don't think you're charging. Putting you in the ground the right way. The Duckman way. Use code Ducko10 for end of tax time deals.

I'm doing influencer stuff. I've got the best roses and poppies. Use code DUCKOTEN. Anyway, it's an interesting concept. I don't mind it. But now, are you going to see celebrants now? You're a celebrant. You're going to see that space turning into a wedding, a funeral planning. Absolutely. Oh, your mom. So your mom is a wedding planner. She's planning these funerals as well. She's helping. I was like, oh, so she's moved away out of out of love and into death. Because, you know, people will always keep dying. Two certainties in life, Ducko. What do you got?

Death and taxes. There you go. So. Third one, if you listen to the Justin Ducko program, good times. But. Obviously. Obviously. What's the fourth one, Shargo?

Fourth certainty in life, go. You will fail at some point. Oh my God. That is grim. And then you'll die. And Ducko will MC. Anyway, let's play Alpha Box next. 30 seconds to answer 10 questions, all starting with the same letter. Have to take your first answer.

Starting with the letter L, we need you to name a celebrity. Lisa Kudrow. A clothing brand. Levi's. A fabric. Linen. A dessert? Lemon meringue pie. A zodiac sign? Leo. A girl's name? Letitia. An insect? Ooh. Pass. A fruit? Lemon. An occupation? Liaison officer. A video game. Oh no! Oh my god! You're a player.

What was that? Just two passes? Yeah, two passes. You definitely got yourself eight. Can you think of an insect? It's the cute little one that actually brings good luck if it lands on you. Oh, ladybug! Ladybug!

I thought you had that. Me too. Video game is one of the harder questions as League of Legends. It's a game where you have to be a little bit more careful. It's a game where you have to be a little bit more careful. It's a game where you have to be a little bit more careful. It's a game where you have to be a little bit more careful. It's a game where you have to be a little bit more careful.

It's a game where you have to be a little bit more careful. It's a game where you have to be a little bit more careful. It's a game where you have to be a little bit more careful. It's a game where you have to be a little bit more careful. It's a game where you have to be a little bit more careful. It's a game where you have to be a little bit more careful. Oh Ladybug! Ladybug! To be like I thought you had that. Me too. Video game is one of the harder questions as League of Legends, Left 4 Dead there's a few but I suppose if you're not gaming and you don't have kids that game. Yeah I can promise you I would not have gotten I might have gotten Ladybug if I had come back to her but I wouldn't have gotten Ladybug. That probably feels better knowing you would not I mean we've had someone Pass on crash bandicoot and they literally had just paused the game to call so yeah, they're not always top of mind They're not they're not oh, you're a good player. So me some of your answers are so creative very lemon meringue pie

Oh my god. What was your occupation liaison officer? Brilliant is that what you do? She went to another place somebody went to another dimension that liaison officer. Liaison officer. Brilliant. Is that what you do? No it's not. Who knows? She went to another place. That top of mine. Sammy went to another dimension there. Amazing. I was unthinking of Hawaii right now but that's okay.

I gave it a good cut. Can you send it to Hawaii? Can you do something? Yes. Can you do something? Just do it. Hawaii? Yeah.

No. Okay. Not Hawaii. It makes me feel better that I know I wouldn't have gotten there. Yeah, true. How's this though? $100 to spend online at Vera Fleur coming your way. Great prints, you can get a print of Hawaii. Yeah, Hawaiian inspired prints. Yeah, she'll do bespoke Sammy.

She does, she's great. We got a rice cooker one from Vera Fleur. Yeah, she's very good. Which I think is actually available for sale, but you could DM and say hey. Yeah, I want something. I need something Hawaiian. Give me a cruise, Hawaii. Maybe a cocktail. There you go, oh yeah. something Hawaii. Give me a cruise, Hawaii. Maybe a cocktail.

There you go, oh yeah. Oh yeah. That's a great idea. Well hey, thanks for playing, being good sports, Sammy. Appreciate it. That's all right. All right, thanks guys, bye. Thank you, Sammy.

League of Legend, I never even heard of that video game. That's a tough carry video game one. Oh. But we rebuild. We go again. We rebuild and up next we're gonna get, geez Babs has worked overtime for us today. She's a gal. But something that Gen Z is doing, Ducco, that I gotta tell you it's the one thing they're doing, gets a double thumbs up from me.

You're enjoying it. I'm enjoying it. Jess and Ducco. Gen Z, they are being salammed online, particularly on X. Now apparently all the boomers are coming for Gen Z, you and I stuck in the middle. What are we again? We're millennial. Millennial. Yeah, yeah. We're millennial slash Gen X.

Are they interchangeable? I don't know. So this is Gen Z V Boomer. I'd love to know where you sit. We've pulled Babs into the studio away from the phones as the voice, the representative. You mean producer hot sausage. Can we please continue with this name? You're going to have to keep reminding me.

It hasn't quite caught for me and it needs to. Produce a hot sausage. The voice of reason and the voice to represent her whole generation. There is something called the Gen Z gaze, Ducko. You're familiar with this phrase? Has it entered your social media space yet? The phrase has not, no. Okay. I've learned

about it as well. With over 1.7 million views, this was all sparked on X by one old bloke who said, I am so sick of the new style of customer service these young ones are, you know, dealing out in their retail and hospitality jobs, where they just stare at you when you walk up to the counter or the service decks or into their store. What happened to good old fashioned customer service? Hi, how are you? Can I help you?

What are you looking for? How can I be of assistance? Now 1.7 million views, thousands of comments from a quick analysis, older generation who are sick and tired of it. What happened to the good old days of a bit of, you know, we're living in a society. I can I help you? What's going on with you? Gen Z are now defending their own actions saying, excuse me, if you had to work with

the number of F'ing brain dead people, we have to, then you would also probably loosen and lessen your customer service. It depends where though, like, is it a cafe, is it in retail? This person, this original poster is saying it's across the board. Okay. I'm not getting a hi, how are you, how can I help? So much so that they're just having to walk up to the counter and they're the first person to speak.

Yeah. They're not even getting a hi, what would you like? Hi, can I buy this? Is that okay if I pay for this from your store? Now Babs, you've worked a little bit in retail, news agency in your past. I did, yeah. You've done some hospo, Guzmani Gomez, starting your love of Mexican food. Do you see this in your generation, the loss of customer service skills?

There actually is a couple places that I go to, like coffee shops and everything, where they do just stare at you and wait for you to say, Hey, how are you going? And I feel like I'm always saying, Hey. As the customer. Yeah. And then you say, can I have a latte please? And would you reckon they're notoriously younger? Yeah, they're probably my age and younger.

So I'm 24. Yeah. As someone who has had a few retail jobs, which was so overbearing, the training was literally you go up and you do not leave that person alone until they've picked something and you can walk them to the counter. I've got to tell you, I'm all for this. I reckon we are training people to be so pushy and that turns me off as a customer. Yeah, this might be extreme, not even getting a high, but I hate being followed

in a store. Hi, what are you looking for today? Can I help you? What's the event? Leave me alone. Also, there is nothing worse than being someone that works in retail and you go, hi, how are you? Like when they walk in the door and they just ignore you.

And you're like, so why did I even say anything? Which is why you'd be graded down from years or months of having experienced that, I understand that. I do wig out though, if I go into a store like industry or glue or something like that. Oh one of the cool ones. And I walk in and they look at me they're like this guy's way too unfriendly to be shopping here. Hey pops do you need anything? You good to just look in that corner there? You're looking at the jeans gosh would you have to bend down? Oh it's all right Sue. And then Morgan's like try it on I'm so nervous and I always try it on and come out of the change room and Morgan's gone.

I'm like, I'm just looking for my, is my wife here? Like, is there anything more awkward? Just self-consciously looking at my pants? And sometimes some of the, you know, very friendly people go, if you need a help with sizing let me know. I poke my head out because I can't get the bloody buttons up and she's not there. You have to walk out into the shop because I don't want to put my clothes back on. But you waddle out with your gut hanging out.

That's why I don't try this on. Can I have a 12? If you are going in with someone, whether it's your partner, friend or your, they're helping, do not leave the change room space. Yes, that's why they put the chair there. That's why they're there. And I know it's, you know, kind of commonly, the husband chair. That is the person who you're shopping with chair.

Stay there so I don't have to waddle around the shop. It's ridiculous. Morgan won't even come out of the change room for me. She's like, I didn't like it. I didn't get to see it, but for her I'm gonna come and do a little fashion show. Otherwise you're just standing there lurking in the changing room. I swear my wife is in there.

I swear she's here. She's doing something in here. Yes. So in those stores it freaks me out because I feel like I'm being judged, but I don't reckon I've noticed this too much. I reckon most younger people have a good good sort of like a nice attitude. Yeah.

Someone has added to this chain of thoughts saying, I remember the first time a friend told me she didn't think customers were owed friendliness, just a mind boggling mindset. So that's the attitude Gen Z are coming at it, allegedly, speaking broadly, I don't owe you anything. I'm here to get my $18 an hour and I'm not going above and beyond. I think, well, I think really if we're going to the nitty gritty of it, aside from COVID, which has really destroyed your generation. That has actually, COVID's really affected that decline of social and verbal skills linked to COVID-19.

So you got to, you know, throw a bone to them for that, but also you can now make so much money from TikTok and Instagram stuff. It's the 1%. It's you, yourself and I. But when you know you can make that much money, why am I working at surf, dive and ski for $16 an hour? You know what I mean? And having to go above and beyond to make sure you buy a pair of Havianas. Exactly. Which doesn't make sense. It's a vicious cycle. It is. But on the scale of being totally ignored and having someone follow me, ignore me, man.

Are you like being ignored? I like being ignored. Some people like being spoken to. You can't win is what I'm hearing. I can't imagine Babs being overly polite if she worked at a, you know, a fashion store. Really? Would you be? I don't imagine.

I want to see you following someone around being like, how can I assist you? What party are you looking for? Oh, Slay. No. To their face. Would you say Slay to someone? I would not say that. Slay, you look, okay are you looking for? Oh, Slay. No. To their face. Would you say Slay to someone? I would not say that. Slay, you look, okay, if you saw me walk into like glue.

Yeah. How do you agree? Yeah. I would just be like, Hey, how you going? Would you be like this guy's good? He's not gonna do anything. No, I'd be like, Hey, how you going? And then turn around and be like, this guy's got no style.

That's why I'm in your fricking store. Jess and Ducco. Jess and Ducco. One member of the team is turning 30 this Saturday. That is a huge birthday. It's a milestone. My 30th was in COVID. Couldn't celebrate it.

Couldn't have a party. You're willy-nilly not having a party. I don't do parties. But every Friday- I'm not interesting. Shut up. Every Friday when we ask, what's on for the weekend? Dukko shares, hot sausage shares, I share. Shia got to be like, oh yeah, just popping a Canberra with me mates to go to an AFL game.

And you think, who are these mates? When have you shown interest in AFL? You never spoke about friends. We know nothing about him. He has a closed book. He's hard to read and he's got everything, you know? He does and he is a man who longs for so little. Like he's very happy with what he's got going on. But when someone is close to you, he's having a milestone birthday, you want to get him. We've got to get him something good. This isn't just

like a 29th or a 25th or a 33rd. Like this is, you know, we need to do something. We wanted to put our heads together but we were we were really struggling so Shy Guy during the week I blocked you from the Jess and Ducco Instagram story. I was wondering how you got this research done. I probably should unrestrict you because now you can um come back on. One less thing to check. Ah well you can now not vote for Friday Baggers. Oh no that's me out. Between the three of us though we've been struggling and all the ideas have felt lacklustre. And we thought we've got ideas, but I just feel like, like what? Last year you guys bought me art from my house because I had just moved in.

But see last year was a milestone birthday. So it didn't really matter. But it was also, but it was also a good insight because he had just moved in. He was talking about it and did mention I wanted something on the walls. So we thought, okay, we can try. This year he has said nothing. I actually thought Robovac, Shy Guy, cause you said the one you had was cactus. You'd returned it, but Dukko did good sleuthing and you apparently articulated.

I don't, I don't want that. Yeah. Babs has been trying to get it out of you. We put it to our community. The rice cookers have come with suggestions, Dukko, and we thought we could yay or nay some of you. We put it to our community. The cook has cooked. The rice cookers have come with suggestions, ducko. And we thought we could yay or nay some of them. Cause let's be real, we want to get him something. He's actually lost. You're yay or naying or I'm here. No, no, you're yaying or naying. Sarah has said, what about a box of biscuits? Now- He's the biscuit guy. She said, or a personalised box that says Shy Guy's Box. That's fun.

She's obviously nailed the man, box. That's fun. She's obviously nailed the man but that's a bit gaggy. I like that. Showy. Shy Guy's box and you can just have it. I don't know if you can put it in the kitchen. We'll highlight Sarah, thank you for your contribution. Megs and Jules both said a puppy. Now see that's fantastic because he'd hate it. He'd hate it. But he'd have to raise it. I already have a dog as well. That you dumped with your mum. Would you if we got you a puppy. I don't you if I only mom's dog alone said if we got you a puppy though when you had you had a here This is your here puppy. Ah Yeah, you've got a bear puppy. Yeah, yeah, I have to check that with my landlord Bronwyn yeah, what friend of the show has said a pair of RM Williams boots. She took this seriously.

He will still be wearing them on his 50th birthday. If he looks after them, this is a gift with longevity. They're $800. I have to cross that one straight. We love you. I do want a pair of them. We love you, but just, you know. You'll be on board with Chelsea's idea, duck, eh?

Yeah. Strippers. Yeah, see, I've said this from the get-go. You have said it. Strippers are a blast all for you. Did you submit that on your fake account? Your spin stuff. Is that Naughty Chels? Naughty Chels.

Yeah, there I am. Yeah, your name? To Stripers. Just your house, just with you. Yeah. There's maybe three of them. Ah, four actually, if I get a good deal. Use code, Ducco.

I know a few. I've done a few bucks's. I know a few companies. Yeah. Trust me, Cindy. You'll love Cindy. I don't think I'd have a lot of fun with them. Okay. I'll put a line through Chelsea's idea.

Do you want me there too? No, definitely not. If that's part of the deal, no deal. Do you want Babs there as well? We can arrange. She won't show up. That was also a no Babs by the way. You didn't know that.

Thanks for clarifying. I felt like I had to. Susan, eagle-eyed. Susan's been watching the Instagram stories, Ducco, and she sees Shy Guy on video. I've noticed in your videos, Shy Guy wears nice clothes. Tommy Hill figure, et cetera, et cetera. So maybe he'd like a session with Jess's shopping lady. One of my best mates is a personal stylist.

Alex also said, what about a personal stylist session? Non-skinny jeans would change that man's life. I just know it. Oh, because he's got the fitting jeans. What? Say you, shy guy. Do you want me to book you in with Kate? You like Nike and you like Tommy. Nike, industry, Tommy.

You like plane. But they're not saying buy you clothes. They're saying buy you a session. Yay or nay. That's just a... I don't need someone to talk to me. He doesn't want to talk to me. It's fine, sure. Philip has said a VB long neck. Not sure if he's got the finger on the pulse.

I don't think I got us in drink beer. We got lovely wine after our... Did you not drink that? Well it's just on the shelf now. He's waiting for us to come over. When you do come over, I think I know when I waiting for us to come over. It's a good one. When you do come over, I think I know when I want you guys to come over, but we'll talk about that.

Oh, hang on. Don't tease us. Two years in. I thought about this last night. When is it? I'll tell you later. When's later? I'm still working out the date.

Okay. For your birthday? No. So strange. Josie has said an engraved bottle of his favourite liquor. Again, that might be good for someone else. I don't think for Shy Lord. No.

Deb, Ucha Deb has said a night- Ucha, here we go. She's now pissed herself, Deb. Sorry, pissed herself, Deb. Yeah, yeah. And vomited at the same time. Yeah, yeah. Has said a night away at the beautiful Chateau-U-Lan, but in a room with a fireplace so we can stop

complaining. Now, a couple of serious contenders. Okay, here we go. These ones I've asked her. Two more, two more. Shogun wants you to wrap it up. Well, you're not really, but right now I've only highlighted a box of biscuits. It can't get you that fear. A cookie jar would be cool.

Sophie and Tina both suggested skydiving. Adrenaline junkie? No, no. You'd hate that. You'd never jump out of a plane. What about Jen's suggestion? What'd she say? A flight simulator.

That's a bit of fun. An experience of sort of never done that before. Think you can actually land a plane. That's a bit of fun. That's a bit of fun, Jen. You're one of those weirdos who goes to airports and takes photos of planes. That's why all his Instagram page.

Hey man, once is too many times. The one reel he has on his Instagram is that time he went on a joyride. So maybe you could go with some sort of stunt simulator man. That could be cool. Yeah. Okay. All right. We've highlighted two things. Yeah. Yeah. All right. All right. The box of biscuits and the flight simulator. Or a puppy. Or a puppy. I'm sort of here as a soft yes with strippers though. I'm just a wee. Oh, I crossed out Chelsea. Do I uncross her out? Okay, sure. Is that the stripper's name? No, no, her name is Candy.

Jess and Ducco. Rihanna. Bit of Riri. Don't stop the music. Just give us new tunes, Rido. Nah, she's in her pumping out babies era. Yeah, she is. No time to get in the studio. That's true, it's busy time.

What's ASAP Rocky doing? Take the kids for an afternoon so Riri can get in the play studio. Is she with It's busy time. What's ASAP Rocky doing? Take the kids for an afternoon so Bri-Bri can get in the studio. Is she with ASAP? Yeah. Cause he's not. Isn't he the baby daddy? I think I actually don't know, but he's not making new music, is he? Well, that's a great question.

What's ASAP doing? What's ASAP up to these days? We wouldn't play ASAP. No, we wouldn't. Yeah, you're right. I was listening to a podcast the other day, a few older hosts. And she said, what did she say? She was like, RSVP Rocky.

I went, Oh, sweetheart, you've got that wrong. Wrong acronym. It happens. Good try. Hey, that's all we can do. Good try. Happens to the best of us. It does. It's been a great show so far. If you missed any of it, grab it, wherever you get your podcasts, whoever you like to listen, whether it's on Listener or wherever it may be. We're lucky to have Producer Babs with us today who's

now got a new name. Yeah, he just texted and said Hot Sausage. Which is the weird nickname her dad calls her. Yeah. Which, look, to each their own. Her little hot sausage. I remember Hannah Tewy in primary school, her dad used to call her Tiger and I used to think it was so cool but now I look at her and go Tiger.

Hey Tiger. That feels like a... Condescending. That's like they were champ and chief. I was going to say it was so cool, but now I look at her go, Tiger. Hey Tiger. That feels like a... Condescending. That's like they were champ and chief. I was going to say it's giving chief, champion. But like, look at your little daughter. Hey Tiger. And I think he was like a sporty lad, so it was like, hey Tiger, you know?

Get up there. I don't know. When does your cute name for your little kid become daggy and kind of not cute anymore? Great question. Like is he still calling her Tiger? I think she's 34. Yeah, because Babs' dad's still calling her Little Hot Sa little hot sausage. Yeah it's weird. He's not calling me hot sausage. Hey whoa whoa can we do that tomorrow? What's your nickname? What's your nickname?

What are you still being called? What are you still being called by your parents or your dad? I always love a nickname because the genesis of nickname, fantastic. But I like from the parents. Cause I'm pretty sure that story Babs was guzzling down a hot sausage and she choked, nearly died, had to give herself a Heimlich and Daymo went slow down hot sausage and it stuck. Oh, I love a hot sausage. That's absolutely how that went. Anyway, Babs choked and nearly didn't make it on air today. We nearly lost Babs.

I know, we nearly called up a younger sister to start doing Alphabox questions because God forbid one of us does that. Yeah, absolutely not. Question Babs, if you did kick it, unfortunately, would your sister, would she take over the reins of your job? They both want to work in health, so probably not. We are helping people. This is... Master is medicine.

We were essential. Were you thanking your shy guy? Yes, we were. My wife and I are both essential in the pandemic. She's a cardiac theatre nurse and I'm a radio host. And you both still had to keep getting up, getting out there. Saving lives. Saving lives. ScoMo said thank you to me many a time.

Yeah, okay, so that's a no, Babs, they wouldn't want this gig. They're young, what do they know? They're locking in now. Their life is long. Yeah, they wouldn't say they wouldn't know, I like that. We can't get Jethro, he's not gonna come and do it. Nah, nah, he hates us. We've asked Jethro to do so much on this show and he has done Bofkas.

Yeah. Wait, where do we, let's actually go to one of Babs' soccer games. I would love to! When's your next one? I have permanently got a B on my chest. I've got the other B. Do we need to change that to now hot... We're gonna need a lot more people to spell out hot sausage, Shaco. Yeah, we're gonna need a few. We might need to vote in the sisters. Who would be the space? You obviously, you thin pale boy. I'll take that. Where's he next, Game Vabs?

On Sunday. Oh, I am free on Sunday. Shy Guy, let's be real. Will you be recovering from your almighty 30th party hangover, or will you be available to be the space nerd-hide? You can bring candy, mate. I have plans. On Sunday?

Yeah. Oh, family plans. Yeah. That's family lunch. Hotmart. How about you just tell us what the plans are rather than being so secretive? I don't know. Hey hey, but he did say he has something to invite us to. I do. I just need to work out the date. Oh, is it Sunday? Something happens. No. Is it for homemade pizza? It's in July. In July? My July is away. It's coming in Italy in July. My July is booking off. Yeah, we're all away. Aren't you and Babs going to Italy together? Yeah, she's my nanny.

Yeah, that's right. I'm taking hot sausage to have some hot sausage in the motherland. Be careful when she's in... Well, I've seen hot sausage in Sicily. My goodness. I don't know if she can handle the spicy cacciatore. You better start training now, hot sausage. We've expired. We're out of here. I've had a great time though. It's been a good show though. We missed any of it. as I said, catch up. Tomorrow more Origin tickets up for grabs at that Call of Fame. Alphabox is back. It's Thursday. It's Wordy-okey Day. Oh my god, so much fun to be had.

All the good times to be had. Enjoy the rest of your Wednesdays. Bye. Bye. Long story short, choke on some curry sausages. Jess and Ducko! That was the Jess and Ducko Podcast. Pink chicken is upon us with the new McWings at Maccas.
