Macca's delicious new Brekkie McGrath is even more reason for a pre-work Macca's run.
Jess and Ducko! This is the Jess and Ducko podcast.
Everyone, welcome to the podcast.
It'll go down in history today, show.
It will. Where were you?
We often find, and I'm sure you'll agree, Ducko, inadvertent themes appear each show.
Not every show, but there was one time.
I think it was yesterday.
It was like, wow, we've stayed in sort of the Latino world.
There was a story out of Brazil, one out of Peru, one out of Chile,
one out of Spain.
Today's theme inadvertently became birthdays.
Oh, I thought salmon.
Oh.
Well, no, salmon only brought up ones.
Okay, so true.
Never mind.
But we talked about Dr. Dre's birthday.
Yes.
Year of the song. Yes. Shy Guy's focus was that. We had a 104-year-old on the product once. Okay, so true. Never mind. But we talked about Dr. Dre's birthday. Yes. Year of the song.
Yes.
Shy Guy's focus was that.
We had a 104-year-old on the show.
Of course we did.
We were celebrating Edith's birthday.
Yeah.
And then you ended the show with what is arguably the best news I've received in a while.
It's the best news of the year.
It's the best news of the year.
My daughter's due date, which you'll hear in the show.
Yep.
But it's, spoiler alert, it's the same date as Jess's birthday.
Which I just, do I thank you?
Do I thank Morgan?
Do I thank your doctor?
I didn't know if you'd be happy about it or not,
because it could have gone two ways, right?
It could have been like, that's my day.
Could she not have another day?
I know.
Would I have a go at your unborn child?
And you.
But like, is this going to be a closed door conversation with Angus tonight?
Not at all.
How dare that little bitch.
Truly.
As I said, the pool.
Your words.
As I said, the pool of what happened this day in history.
Yeah.
April 15th.
Titanic.
It just.
Titanic sank.
Want to be clear.
Hit on the 14th.
Sank on the 15th.
Yeah.
Lincoln was assassinated.
Hermione Granger was born, a.k.a.
Emma Watson.
Yeah.
It's just a great day for stuff to have happened.
It's a really good day.
And now for your OB, and this is not like spontaneous labor,
which I feel like it's even better.
Your OB has gone, this is the best date to bring this girl into the world.
Yeah, this is the time.
It just makes me really happy.
It's exciting, isn't it?
Yep.
I just think I need to educate you more on Aries ladies.
Yeah, well.
Because your wife is February, so what, she Pisces?
Pisces. That's a water sign. She's cool, calm, and collected. Yeah, well. Because your wife is February, so what, she Pisces? Pisces.
That's a water sign.
She's cool, calm, and collected.
We know that.
I'm Virgo.
Yeah, you're Virgo, but you're really a Leo.
Like, you are the least Virgo person I've met.
You're a Leo.
So when Aries into this Combinazione, it could be very dynamic.
You know what I mean?
I just think you need to be better prepared.
Is Aries a good sign?
Are they level-headed?
Aries is a fire sign.
No, the complete opposite.
They are passionate. They are passionate.
They are fiery.
They are compulsive.
They are impulsive.
It's Jess.
Yep.
That might be the greatest contribution you've ever made to the show.
That was.
Yeah, it really is.
Accurate.
I'm not even mad about it because it's true.
You're one of those rare treats where the star sign really matches the human.
Truly.
Yeah, unlike you, where I think that's why you're born in the wrong month.
I have some Virgo traits.
Your kid is going to be a mini-me, which is just so funny.
Oh, God.
Which is already very mini-you.
We have similar energy.
Yeah, Leos are big energy, bold.
Yes.
But they're like, I feel like Leo, the classic lion traits.
They're loyal.
They're cool under pressure.
These sort of things as well.
They're natural-born leaders. under pressure. These sort of things as well. They're natural born leaders.
What are you, Shy Guy?
The crab.
Cancer.
You would be cancer.
I don't know what that means.
The crab.
No idea.
It's the crab.
You got crabs, mate.
What I want.
What's cancer's, do you know the cancer's traits?
I don't, to be honest.
I don't know if cancer matches Shy Guy.
What I want is to do a relationship compatibility
between you, a Virgo,
and me, an Aries, i.e. your
daughter.
People are just asking questions.
Relationship compatibility. Are you looking up cancer
traits, Babs? I am, yeah. What have you got for
us? Doesn't make sense.
Why doesn't it make sense? I got nurturing, intuitive
and emotional.
No! not me.
Wrong.
Okay, so this has gone more romance, Ducco,
but the relationship between Aries and Virgo,
so your daughter and yourself, passionate and steady.
Steady is good.
Aries are driven by spontaneity, enthusiasm.
Virgo, see, this is where I don't think you're a Virgo,
grounded and detail oriented.
So when they come together, it can be a little bit of a clashing of ideas, but ultimately
a lot of fun is had because the Virgo will plan it out.
Yeah.
What the Aries wants to do.
See, I am quite planned.
I'm quite planned.
That's true.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm quite organized.
Challenges may arise because of different priorities and communication styles.
These are just things that's good to know.
Okay. Good to know. Okay, good to know.
It's good to know.
The star signs.
Aries and Virgo are a good match.
They build an interesting, progressive, and secure life together.
That sounds good to me.
That's all a father can provide to his daughter.
That sounds great to me.
And we'll do a Pisces and Aries match.
Pisces and Aries, let's see.
That's my why.
Because it'd be so funny if it's like, no.
Now, because what's Morgan's relationship like with her mum?
Are they tight?
Yeah, they're close.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They are close.
How the hell do you spell compatibility?
I just wrote it.
Compatibility.
Pisces and Aries.
Let's have a look here.
We've got a text line as well during the show.
Yes.
Hey, guys, if Ducko's wife Morgan is a rice cooker,
does that make Ducko's daughter rice?
Oh, jeez, that's a no-dumb thought, Friday.
Because she's cooking it, I understand.
Morgan's womb is the rice cooker.
She's the rice cooker.
And my baby is the rice that comes out.
You can't cook rice without a rice cooker.
Well, you absolutely can't.
Wow.
Well, you can't cook rice without a rice cooker, can you?
I know you're not sharing out loud because of the judgment around names, but have you
considered rice?
I think I will, mate.
Middle name, rice.
I mean, you know, my kid's middle name is Margarita.
Yeah, I know.
Should we stick with food themes?
You know I've tried.
Veggie bite.
I know.
You know I've tried for a fun middle name and Morgan didn't allow it.
Oh, I know.
She's gone with a relative who's passed, which is such a sweet sentiment, but it's not fun.
And I can't win that battle.
A relative who passed away from a drink driver.
I'm not going to win that battle.
Oh, you're not going to win it, but fun.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Think of the kid. You know what she said to me for our second child, you get the middle name.
Like, I get full reign. I'm like, fucking okay. What about if you give
Morgan full reign with the first name for this kid and you
get full reign for the second name? Well, we both came up with the names. No, no, take that away.
Start going anti it. Just act. Start flipping. So then she
goes, all right, it's my choice. So then you get it. But she knows. Just act. Just act. Start flipping. So then she goes,
all right, it's my choice.
So then you get.
But I love the name You need more legs
to stand on.
Yeah, I know.
But I love the name.
And I understand she's
done all the work
for the pregnancy.
So you have none.
The men have none.
31 weeks right now
is not the time
to start picking fights
with her.
But you know what?
When you can't,
when the kid's out.
Because once you see
what she goes through,
you'll go have
whatever you want,
sweetheart.
You've got to lay it down.
When I see Migloo breach.
Oh my God.
It's wild.
I get it.
I get it.
Have we booked in the photographer yet?
Ah, no.
Come on, Morgan.
I know.
I know.
Show us your.
Show us your bit style.
Otherwise it'll be shotgun and babs on a beach.
It can be tasteful.
It can be tasteful.
That'd be fun though. I know. We're talking delivery room, babe. You're going be Shy Guy and Babs on a Beach. It can be tasteful. It can be tasteful. That'd be fun, though.
I know.
We're talking delivery room, babe.
You're going to the delivery room.
Oh, no.
I want delivery room.
You're in now, Babs.
Shy Guy's in there, too, so.
With my digi-cans.
Tasteful digi-cans.
Babs will never have
a child again
after being in there.
Circling back
to your original question
about Pisces and Aries.
Pisces is a water sign.
Aries is a fire sign.
Not compatible.
So good luck to Morgan.
Fantastic, though, because it means she's going to be daddy's little girl.
Yes, I think so.
Doing rugby things.
She'll be a golfer from a young age.
I've already got me a club.
I bought Lucia her first truck the other day.
Yeah.
You know, let's not have stereotypical boy or girl toys.
I like that.
Toys are just toys.
I like that.
Loves this thing.
Loves the garbage truck.
Yep.
Puts things in its little thing.
Races it back and forth.
You know what I will be interested to see is if our daughter is left-handed because both
Morgan and I are left-handed.
Well, I've told you my daughter is showing preference to using the left hand when she
uses a fork.
So I wonder.
It's obviously not a genetic thing.
And he's right-handed?
He's right-handed.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
So I wonder.
Do two lefts make a right and two rights make a left?
Yeah, interesting. That will be interesting do two lefts make a right and two rights make a left? Yeah, interesting.
That will be interesting.
Send it to me for handwriting lessons.
In either of our families is left except for Morgan and I.
Well, that's interesting.
And you're both one of three children.
But you're not like, you're the middle, she's the oldest.
No, yeah.
How bizarre.
It's very strange.
Match made in heaven.
Yeah, a couple of lefties, a couple of uncoordinated human beings.
I wonder.
You can never have a whiteboard in your house.
It's going to be really difficult for you.
Oh, it's horrible.
That's why Babs writes on the board.
I smudge the whole thing by the time I get to Anna Claw.
Yeah, we can't do left.
Can't do left.
We're going to get a digital whiteboard and iPad.
Yeah, we're going to get a lot.
But the whole studio is going to be TV screens.
It's going to be wrapped.
We got halfway there.
Anyway, hey, it's a great show.
Enjoy it. A lot it's a great show. Enjoy it.
A lot of fun to be had.
Welcome to Tuesday Team.
Well, howdy doody.
Howdy doody.
What an honour to be here.
Well, always a pleasure, never a chore.
Oh, amen, brother.
Yeah.
Wouldn't be dead for quids.
Yeah.
Nowhere you'd rather bloody be.
Floating over there.
You good?
I'm fantastic. You sound very
numb as day. I had a terrible
night's sleep. I see. Oh,
compensating. Ah, there it is.
We're trying to. Right.
I've got a wooden carving
in my bedroom that says,
be as you wish to seem.
And I wish to seem
well rested. Who got youed. Did you find that?
Bought it for myself.
Yeah, right.
Piece you wish to seem.
I wish to seem.
Where does that sit?
On our wall in amongst some zodiac portraits.
Oh, good.
And a print of Lucia at birth.
Oh, just all that stuff.
Your worship corner.
Yeah, it's kind of just like a menage of pieces of art.
Right.
But yes, be as you wish to seem.
Okay.
I wish to seem like someone who had a full night's sleep.
I see.
So I'm going to be like that.
Was it the baby that kept you up?
No, to be honest.
I had a nap yesterday and I think it threw out my circadian rhythm.
Now, nap or sleep?
What's a nap?
A nap is 20, 40 minutes.
It was definitely a sleep.
How long was it?
Two hours.
Because clearly the baby was very tired too, and she had an undisturbed two hours.
And so did I.
I didn't set an alarm thinking she'll wake me up, and she was the alarm.
And I went, wow, I've got a solid two.
And then we went to the playground.
What time of day was that?
That would have been between one and three.
Oh, yeah.
This Acadian rhythm's out now.
Bad time.
Oh, no.
Bad time.
I closed my eyes at 1 a.m.
Whoa.
Truly.
Really.
Just completely out of whack.
But normally, the thing about you is normally you can go to sleep during the day for three
hours, and then you can eat a full bowl of pasta, and then you can go to sleep at 7 p.m.
I had my full bowl of pasta.
Made a new recipe. It was an eggplant. It was amazing. Eat a full bowl of pasta and then you can go to sleep at 7pm. I had my full bowl of pasta, made a new recipe.
It was an eggplant.
It was amazing.
You're becoming one of us.
I think I am because I'm out of practice.
If I nap during the day, I'm done for.
I can't do it.
When I used to sleep for four hours a day pre-kid.
Yeah.
We'd do breakfast radio.
What else was I doing?
I had no friends.
I didn't like the gym.
Life was tough. We didn't have a dog.
So it's not like I was forced to go outside and walk him.
You'd come home and shut the blinds and that was you.
And I'd just wave Rangus to get home and we'd eat dinner.
Now, I've lost the skill.
Yeah, that's interesting.
1am, I'm reading books, I'm doing meditation, I watch Grace and Frankie.
Christ!
Jeez.
You need some melatonin or something.
Oh, you know, I know my husband has those pills, but I don't know where he kept them.
Or liquid?
Is it a powder you put in a drink?
I've got pills.
I'm sure you get powder too.
Yeah, yeah. Anyway, how are you? Okay, well. I'm sure you get powder too. Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, how are you?
Okay, good.
Well, I'm not that bad.
No, okay, good.
Good, yeah, good.
Morgan's working nights.
She's not getting home until 12.30.
Oh.
She's working like.
And is she a, she creeps in?
No, she's kind of like an elephant when she comes home.
Lights on.
Bridge open.
Like, I'm tired.
She had reflux from her pregnancy and all that.
Oh, God.
Has she gotten onto Gaviscon yet?
Yes.
She's been punching the Gaviscon.
God, good.
But I didn't even hear her.
I realised I woke up and rolled over to the bed and touched her,
and I had no memory of her coming home.
Wow.
I was just passed out.
Because you're not a particularly deep sleeper, are you?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
But, I mean, when you're coupled with someone who stomps in,
turns the lights on and doing all that, you'll never know.
But I don't get disturbed.
If Morgan was to leave the light on and read, I could fall asleep next year.
Same.
It doesn't bother me.
Same, usually.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what I contemplated?
Getting that Matthew McConaughey book you used to listen to.
Yeah, do that.
Listen to that audio book.
To fall asleep.
And I thought, nah, I don't want to use my phone.
I was like, I've already watched two episodes of Grace and Frankie.
You can pick up your phone.
And was Angus just asleep next year?
No, so he was out.
He had a wrap-up dinner for the festival.
So he was none the wiser.
He came home and he was like, what are you still doing awake?
It was a whole thing.
Oh, no.
I was like, you want to watch an episode of Grace and Frankie?
You were just mentally imploding.
He was like, no, I'm tired.
Oh, that's the worst.
I hate being left awake and you can't sleep.
There's no worse feeling.
And I've bought a journal to start journaling.
Oh, yeah.
But it was a cute lemon one.
I had to order it.
It's online only.
So it's not here yet.
It's not here yet.
So I was like, I couldn't possibly use another piece of paper to journal.
I'll only be using my lemon journal.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've tried journaling maybe three or four years.
Yes.
Never been able to do it.
I maybe do it for a couple of weeks and I'm like, I don't even know what I'm doing.
Yes.
It's everything I read about how good it is for you and your mental health.
What are you meant to say?
Literally the monotony of your day.
Gratitude stuff.
Stuff, you know, unresolved crap that's weighing on your mind.
I don't know.
I'll report back.
Yeah, see how long it lasts.
But you know me.
I don't.
I don't think it lasts.
If there's no accountability.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No one's holding you accountable for that.
Yeah.
Unlike Duolingo, where you get your streaks about to implode.
I see.
That's why it keeps you on.
It keeps you on, but I don't have that for journaling.
Well, look, we can't promise you get more sleep in the show,
but we can promise a great show.
The fact I didn't fall asleep during the pre-show meeting,
I think it's a win for all of us.
That's a good time.
Yeah.
We've got Alpha Bucks, your chance at 10K, 6.30 and 8.
We have Year of the Song today.
More chances at our co-fod.
Double pass to see Nelly plus accommodation.
Yep.
Hot in here.
Hot in here.
If you want to get hot there.
Yep.
There being Horton Pavilion.
You get involved in the show any chance you can.
Yes.
We're also doing something on the show today we've never done before.
What's that?
Birthday shout out.
Oh, yeah.
We do get a lot of requests. Heaps. So many. And it's one
of those things where you go, if you do one, you've got to do them all.
So we sort of have a bit of a... We don't really do it.
I don't care if Ty's turning eight. However,
someone is turning
an unbelievable amount of numbers today.
This is the oldest rice cooker we've got, I think.
Absolutely. So we're getting her on just after
7.30. Yes, we are. Up next though,
I'm going to tell you about, there's been
a really bad bout of salmon escaping. Salmon, a, I'm going to tell you about there's been a really bad bout
of salmon escaping.
Salmon, a euphemism for something?
No, it's actually fish.
Look, I'm not going to lie.
This story was brought last Thursday.
I've kind of forgotten it.
But stick around.
You might give it away.
The whole story just there.
Because I'm going to read it with you next.
Jess and Ducko.
Jess and Ducko.
Ducking over to Norway.
Where we have a... Great part of the world. I've never been. Ducking over to Norway, where we have a... Oh, great part of the world.
I've never been.
I would like to go.
But we have an absolute salmon crisis.
What am I hearing there, Ducko?
That's salmon.
That's the salmon sound effect.
Is that you smacking a salmon against a wall?
No, this is the salmon breaching.
Listen.
Look at what all come out.
What do you mean? Like they're jumping up out of the water?
So that is a salmon fish on the game
Minecraft for those playing.
Oh, Jesus.
Play the sting. That is so unfair.
Sorry, Jess.
That's just far too niche.
Minecraft salmon?
It's all you can find.
He's like, I've got salmon sound effects in. Go for salmon sound effects. Go for salmon. Copy salmon. Go for salmon. It's all you can find. Minecraft. So he goes, I've got salmon sound effects in.
Go for salmon sound effects.
All right.
Go for salmon.
Copy salmon.
Go for salmon.
All right.
Imagine if I hadn't played it before.
I go, salmon.
Oh.
It sounds like a salmon.
It sounds wet.
Yeah, it sounds wet.
Oh, you reckon?
Yeah, yeah.
It sounds a bit naughty.
It does.
Anyway, there's a global seafood company called Maui is offering a bounty to fishers to catch their escaped salmon
after an estimated, get this, 27,000 salmon went missing
off a fishing farm in Norway.
Oh, my God.
This is chicken run.
It is.
But salmon edition.
It's salmon escape.
There's one clever salmon who found a breach in the net or in the wall.
I know those salmon farms.
They sort of keep them in big ass ponds.
Massive, yeah, yeah.
One of them's going, hey, if we just go through this hole here and you all follow me, we can
all escape.
If we work together, we can all escape.
And what?
So now they've put a call out to Norwegian fishermen.
Basically, all the registered fishermen, they've put a call out.
They're going to pay them 36 pounds or 36 euros, sorry, per salmon caught.
Jeez, that's a pretty penny.
Well, because a quarter of the salmon, there was 105,000 salmon there,
27,000 salmon have left the population.
Oh, no.
They've escaped the salmon farm.
All right, let them be.
They've worked so hard.
Let them be.
They did discover that it was a damaged outer ring to the pen.
How's this?
Our mate Vegard in the Hotten, a spokesperson for the fishery,
said that they wanted to upgrade these nets for a while now.
They've known about this, and this is trouble because get this, all right?
This is, and the quote here, this is disaster for salmon.
Oh, my God.
You want to know why?
Why?
Was the king of the salmon and the queen of the salmon,
you know, like the queen bee, were they in that 27,000?
The reproducers.
No.
Science has proven that interbreeding between wild stock, like outer fish in the ocean,
and the farmed salmon produce offspring that are weak and have low survival rate.
Oh, hang on.
Hang on.
So it's almost like interspecies.
The genetically farmed salmon have all escaped, like, we're normal, we're free, and they meet
the real salmon and go, she's hot, I'm going to get with her.
Oh, no. Catfish. They're, and they meet the real salmon and go, she's hot, I'm going to get with her. Oh, no.
Catfish!
They're going to catfish the wild salmon.
Yeah.
And then bring the whole genetic pool weaker.
And then the wild salmon and the giant salmon are going to make weak kids.
And a weak salmon.
And then the poor kids are going to die.
I thought it was survival of the fittest,
but you're saying in the salmon world,
the weaker fish will be able to, you know, more dominant genes.
Yes.
I'll see you later, salmon in a bag.
If we fast forward 12 months, you'd know salmon in a bag.
Salmon, yeah, no.
We could have a real salmon shortage.
At your local supermarket, because all the salmon are weak.
You know who's licking his lips at this, though?
John West.
I know he does tuna.
Oh, I can't get it.
No, no, he does other fish.
He does salmon. I'm pretty sure I bought John West mackerel. You can get salmon in a tin, too, from John West. Absolutely, John West. I know he does tuna. Oh, I can't get it. No, no, he does other fish. I'm pretty sure I bought
John West mackerel. You can get salmon in a tin too
from John West. Absolutely you can. John West is there going
because I know John West claims he gets the fish that are
best. He only gets the best ones. But he's not as good as
Serena. So John West
trust me, I have a lot of tuna.
Is that in the really fine
font on the
tin? Second best salmon. After Serena's
done. So as if he's not catching the kids that are like you know. Yeah, because they're weak. On the thing. Second best salmon. After Serena's done. As if he's not catching the kids that are like, you know.
Yeah, because they're weak and slow.
Joe West is coming with his massive net.
We already have such conversation around, you know, pole court, pole line court,
because it's better for the environment, better for the numbers of the fish.
Oh, these weak ones are going to get scooped up by the dozen,
and there'll be none left to reproduce.
This is a real quiet crisis.
You know what we should do, though?
Duck over to Norway.
27, 37 euro per salmon we catch.
That's a good payday.
Do you know anything about catching fish?
How hard can it be to catch dumb salmon?
They're weak.
They're not dumb yet.
Oh, they're smart salmon, but they're going to be dumb soon.
Yeah, they escaped.
We can work it out.
We can work it out.
Just get a big net.
We'll go over there.
We'll go over there and go,
is this what salmon sound like?
And the Norwegian is like, no. This is how we lure
them to us.
I like this. I like
the direction that some
American judges are going in.
Firstly, take us to the United States
of America, please.
America.
I mean, I'm pretty sure we've got problems here with the prison system.
What problems have you got? Oh, just a little quick one.
It's really delayed.
Just a quick trip.
I'm having some issues over here.
We're having some issues.
I know we've got issues with the prison system here being like overrun and too full.
America, I think it's ten times worse.
Obviously, they've got more people and more criminals.
More crazies.
So some judges are going, you know what?
Instead of you serving your punishment behind bars,
I'm going to get a little bit more creative.
Judges rule the roost.
They can literally do whatever they want.
One Michigan judge, he has only recently been elected to his county court.
And in one day, he had 48 shoplifting cases on his docket.
In one day.
One day.
And he went, this is ridiculous.
It's annoying too because shoplifting is so petty.
So petty.
And they all came from Walmart.
The giant mega store over in the States.
Running out of gasoline.
Literally.
What, half grocery store, half Target, half Bunnings.
You could probably buy guns in there too.
Probably.
Yeah.
Probably.
48 just from Walmart alone.
He went, right, I'm not going to put you all in prison.
What I'm going to do is start the Walmart wash.
And on the weekends, if I catch you for shoplifting and you are found guilty in the months of March and April.
Yes.
So what's that?
Is that their spring maybe?
Coming out of winter.
Coming out of winter.
Coming out of winter.
So that maybe, oh, okay, he's being a bit nice and not making them do it in the depths of
winter.
Come March and April, you're washing cars in the car park.
In the car park for free.
For free.
Oh, that'd be nice.
It's a way to reward shoppers who have done the right thing.
They get a free car wash.
And he says, hopefully you're humiliated when someone you know does come through Walmart and sees you having to wash a car.
It's like when you go to a shop and you see the photo of shoplifters.
Like local RGAs often have it.
Yes, not welcome here again.
Yeah, yeah.
This guy tried to rob us.
So did this girl. Like when your mum or dad would march you back into the shop
and make you apologise to the, you know, the service station attendant
for having pinched the chomp bar.
That happened to you, didn't it?
No, I'm just saying.
That's an example of people who...
The chomp bar seems very specific.
I don't enjoy chomp, so I'm obviously not talking about me.
Yeah, of course.
But this is not the first judge to do stuff like this.
Some other ones we found.
Yes.
This couple ignored no raft warnings.
It was a flood emergency, but they went.
Oh, they went rafting.
Great time to go rafting.
Yeah, why not?
No one's in the water.
And then they were told off and apprehended by police.
Yeah.
The judge made them stand in a kiddie pool wearing life jackets and their swimmers handing out leaflets about water safety during a very busy food festival.
That is a creative punishment.
That's almost rather due time.
You know what I mean?
To be honest, they got a 90-day jail sentence for going rafting in a flood.
Like, that's extreme punishment.
That feels very big.
Another person, how's this for a punishment?
A man was fined $150 for blasting loud rap music.
That's noise pollution, I guess.
Okay.
The judge said instead of paying the fine,
you have to listen to 20 hours of classical music,
including Beethoven, Chopin, and Bach.
That doesn't seem so hard.
But he starts to pay $35 of the $150 fine and then listen to the...
And listening to, you know, the entire time.
For 20 hours.
Just non-stop.
When you're a rap guy.
I suppose if you fall asleep, maybe, possibly.
A couple more for you.
A guy tried to buy a grenade launcher.
Oh, no, he tried to sell a grenade launcher.
I think it's fine to buy, but you can't sell.
Yeah, it's all good to buy at Walmart.
Yeah, yeah, obviously, yeah.
So the judge made him do book reports.
He had to read one book and submit a book report every day for a month.
Oh, that's the worst one.
That's way worse than handing out leaflets and stuff.
All right, the last one for you.
You reckon this is the worst?
An Ohio man was convicted of soliciting a lady of the night.
Oh, yeah.
That is illegal.
So the judge said, all right, instead of spending any time behind bars,
paying a fine, you have to dress as a chicken
and carry around a poster board that says,
no chicken ranch in our city.
I don't know what chicken ranch has to do with the crime.
He should have made him dress as a lady of the night and work the street.
That would have been a better one.
You should be a judge.
I should.
It sounds fun.
Jess and Ducko in the morning.
Jess and Ducko's 10K Alpha Bucks on hit.
30 seconds to answer 10 questions, all starting with the same letter.
Have to take your first answer.
Can't use the same answer twice.
And if you're untrue to the question, just say pass.
We'll come back if there's time.
Everyone knows the rules, though.
But today, jump on.
It's all aboard the Russ bus.
Boop, boop.
Good morning, Russ.
Morning, legends.
How are we?
Awesome.
Not too bad.
Just travelling down to Sydney for work.
Oh, fantastic.
What do you do with yourself, Russ?
I lay carpet and vinyl.
Fantastic.
Are you laying carpet or vinyl today?
I'm laying carpet today.
It's a carpet day for Russ.
What do you prefer to lay, carpet or vinyl?
What was that, sorry?
What do you prefer to lay?
What's easier?
Anything that goes on the floor.
Okay, I love that.
Russ.
Russ will do anything.
He's open to it all.
He's open to whatever.
I love that for you, Russ. Well, thank you for deciding today's the floor. Okay, I love that. Russ will do anything. He's open to it all. He's open to whatever. I love that for you, Russ.
Well, thank you for deciding.
Today's the day.
Today's the day.
I am going to call my mates
and I'm going to try and win $10,000.
What's motivating you?
What do you want to spend the money on?
I'd like to have the day off work
and go and take the bride out to lunch.
Oh, there we go.
All this chitter-chatter
of how much he loves to lay carpet and vinyl,
but really what he likes to do is have a nice lunch out.
Yeah.
Is that a word?
Yeah.
Okay, well, we love when love is motivating you.
Oh, yeah.
Carpet and love, two of the great things.
That carpet with a good feed.
Yeah, yeah, good feed.
The letter you're going to work with, Russ, it's D.
D for Ducco.
Hey.
Finally remembered to use that as a good word.
Yeah, that's a good omen, Russ. That's a good omen. Let's go. Let's D. D for ducko. Hey. Finally. D for ducko. Yeah, that's a good omen, Russ.
That's a good omen.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Your time will start after the first question.
Here we go.
Starting with the letter D.
We need you to name an animal.
Duck.
An action movie.
A country.
Denmark. An occupation
Diver
A technology brand
Pass
A three-letter word
Dig
A flower
Daffodil
An instrument
Drums
A sweet treat
Pass
A household chore.
Pass.
An action movie.
Damn, we were going strong there in the middle.
I know, that was good.
But our hopes would come around.
We ended up with six.
Six of the best, bro.
Six is all right.
Six is all right.
Six of the best.
It's over a pass.
An action movie.
Let's learn.
It could have been Die Hard.
Die Hard.
Die Hard. A technology brand could have been Dell. That's a tough one. learn. It could have been Die Hard. Die Hard. Die Hard. A technology
brand could have been Dell. That's a tough one.
A sweet treat could have been a donut
or a household chore could have been
dusting. They're doing good,
guys. Thanks for your time.
No, thank you. You don't go away and do your hair to Russ.
You get $100 to spend at Anaconda, mate.
That is all yours.
Very good, Legends. Thanks very much.
Thank you. Take the missus shopping for some new camping gear, maybe.
She'll like that.
I'm sure she'll find something in there to have.
Absolutely.
Enjoy, mate.
Drive safe for us.
Thanks, guys.
Bye.
Jess and Ducko.
Let me bring to you something that a Japanese tech company is doing
that I, for one, Ducko, I think you will love.
Look me in the eye.
How many times have you rolled into this job slightly hung?
Oh.
A little dusty.
It's a tough job.
And I know it's not your fault.
Who decided Origins would be on a Wednesday?
Yeah, State of Origins would be on a Wednesday night.
Who does that?
Who decided that?
Who does that midweek?
And also, if it is, it's fine.
Just give us a Thursday off.
Who plans?
Super Bowl on a Monday.
Who plans?
This time last week.
I was hungover.
Who plans three-day Bucs parties over long weekends?
I know.
And continues partying on Sundays.
Who allows it?
Who does this?
I reckon, yeah, 20% of my time here has been hungover.
Well, you will love what this one is.
And it's not like an easy gig to do super hungover.
No, we're not just sitting behind a desk.
We're not able to hide particularly well.
You're talking and you're just, yeah.
For how fun our job is, you've got to be on
and you've got to be switched on mentally.
So you even trying to push through a dustiness, I mean, salute you.
There's fun in it.
But you would like what this Trust Ring Co, they are a tech company based in Tokyo.
They are trying to recruit more Gen Z workers.
They are trying to keep their young employees happy.
They do not offer a great wage.
They offer per month 222,000 yen.
That's the equivalent total of just under 18 grand for the year.
So it is a low salary.
Surely you're getting...
Even by Japanese standards, that's low.
Surely you've got to sell some things in order to make some money.
Maybe they've got KPIs and commission.
Absolutely.
But what they thought they'll do to allure and keep their younger employees happy
is offer them hangover leave.
I've got a hangover.
A la Tayo Cruz.
I like this.
So when we go into our employee service system and have to log,
oh, I was sick that day, log that in the system. I like this. When we go into our employee service system and have to log,
oh, I was sick that day, log that in the system.
I need annual leave, log that in the system.
Bereavement leave, carer leave, whatever it may be.
Under one of those headings, there'll be hangover leave.
That's fantastic.
So they are not shaming you for having a big old Super Bowl Monday.
Yeah.
Come Tuesday, you can log hangover leave. Because the beauty of hangover leave is you can put your hangover leave in early.
I know next Monday I'm going to be hung.
So I'm going to put my hangover leave in now.
Now, usually when you get sick leave, you need to present the doctor's certificate.
Do you need to show your Instagram stories the next day and be like,
look how hard I was going at the club last night.
If anything, you want to show how loose you are on your social media.
So all your colleagues go, oh, no, Daku's taking a hangover, guys.
It's okay.
He's not bludgeoning.
It's going to be a hangover leave.
And how many days of leave do you get a year?
Oh, well, now this is a great question.
I'm sure you're knocking up three to four.
I don't have the specifics here, but what they...
That's a great idea.
What they have shown is how good it's going for them.
Zero turnover in the past three years,
despite not paying much more than minimum wage.
Their employees are happy.
Could you imagine if we offered that to Babs?
Oh, my God.
We'd never see her.
Babs, if you got hangover leave, would you use it?
I don't really drink.
But I mean, yeah.
For this team, I'd use all of your hangover leave.
Sorry, please don't go into your harder habits live on the air, all right?
We're trying to get you around it.
Yeah, we can't do drug leave.
Gently. Okay, Babs? All Yeah, we can't do drug leave.
Gently.
Okay, Babs?
All right, we can't do that.
Or swingers cruise leave.
That's not allowed.
Yeah, and you've used up your sick, careless bereavement and annual leave on those.
But how good is that?
So well done, Japan.
They're always at the forefront of technological thinking.
That is honestly a great idea.
I thought you'd love it.
I thought it was a great idea.
I reckon all companies should bring that in and not shame people for being hungover.
Oh, you'll love this too.
They also get you drunk at work.
There's a beer keg and spirit tap.
I'm leaving.
Okay, what's going on here?
Jess and Ducco.
There's some new data from the AFP.
That's right.
This is serious stuff.
The Australian Federal Police.
The feds.
The feds want parents to be equipped with the language that their kids are speaking
in emoji form.
Yeah.
A list of updated AFP official list of emojis that parents need to be aware of has come out.
There's an article that's done the rounds.
Parents need to know what this means in case your kids are using it, whether it's on, you know, just texting.
It's important stuff, obviously.
Yes.
But I just don't know if the AFP have the conduit to the young people.
You don't think they've got the...
Are these accurate?
We don't know.
But at least if you're equipped, maybe you can have better conversations and also be
looking over the shoulder and understanding a bit more.
So we thought we'd get two parents on and we'd give, like, go a quiz head to head.
We'll say the emoji and they've got to tell us what it means.
You've got to tell us what it means.
Good morning to you, Sarah.
Good morning. How are you going to you, Sarah. Good morning.
How are you going?
Excellent, Sarah.
Thank you for joining our quiz.
Sarah's got two kids.
And Tony, good morning.
You've got three children.
Yes.
All right.
So there'll be a lot of emojis going back and forth in these households.
Yep.
Ladies, the way we're going to work this is names are your buzzer.
The person standing with the most correct answers will walk away with a great little
prize.
A Minx Erotic Boutique voucher.
Absolutely.
Don't tell the kids about that one.
So names are your buzzers, okay?
We need the definition of what these emojis are according to the AFP.
I will tell you the emoji and you guys can tell us what you think it is.
Names of your buzzers, Sarah and Tony.
Good luck.
The first one should be nice and easy for you.
The eggplant emoji.
Tony.
Sarah.
Tony.
Penis.
That's correct.
Tony's in.
Tony's in.
Tony's on the board.
Very quick.
Well done.
I know Sarah knew it as well.
Shy guy.
I need a very good one.
Okay, great.
The next one.
The next one.
The peach emoji.
Tony.
Tony.
Tony.
Sarah.
Tonic.
The bum. Tony. Tony. Sarah. The bum.
Tony.
She's all over it.
She knows her nevers when it comes to emojis.
Come on, Sarah.
I'll get you off the floor with this one, I reckon.
The next one.
The taco emoji.
Tony.
Fuck, Tony.
Sarah.
Sarah, you're a bit late.
Tony, what did you get?
It's not going through.
Do I need to say this? You say it in a radio-friendly way, Tony.
Yeah.
Okay, it's the female's part.
Good girl.
I'll take it.
I'll take it.
That's three to Tony.
Sarah, come on, sis.
Now, this one could be a spanner in the works.
It's not coming through.
Oh, Sarah, we can hear you.
Sarah, just check your buzzer.
Can you?
Yeah.
There we go.
Sarah.
You're there.
Don't worry.
Tony's just fast. You're both there Don't worry. Tony's just fast.
You're both there.
Trust me.
All right, what about this one?
This could be a spanner in the works.
The cat emoji.
Sarah.
Oh, Sarah.
Okay, Sarah, what do you have?
The female part.
Yeah!
There's two for that, so look out for that, parents.
All right, here we go.
She's on the board.
Now this, I don't know if anyone's going to know this.
It is the bowl with a spoon in it.
Sarah. Tony. Sarah. Sending nude pictures. Here we go. She's on the board. Now this, I don't know if anyone's going to know this. It is the bowl with a spoon in it.
Tony.
Sarah.
Tony.
Sarah.
Sending nude pictures.
Yes. Oh my God.
Tony doesn't need the AFP.
My goodness, Tony.
How did you know that?
Anyway.
I've got boys.
Do you want to quickly explain that one, Dago?
Yeah, so it's a bowl with a spoon in it and it's meant to be noodles.
Send nudes.
I mean, it makes little
sense to me. It makes little sense to me.
We're not the youth. We're definitely not the youth.
Okay, what about this one? It's the little
horned devil emoji. Sarah.
Sarah. Sarah, yep.
Horny.
There's Sarah.
They're horny. Yep, yep,
you got it. Sarah's sending that emoji herself.
Tony, we're on four. Sarah's on two. herself. Yeah, yeah. Tony, we're on four.
Sarah's on two.
Couple more for you ladies.
Okay, here we go.
The Pisces logo, like the Pisces.
Tony.
Sarah.
Oh, no.
Oh, Tony.
Sarah.
Okay, Sarah, yes, you?
Porn?
Ooh, it's not.
So the Pisces logo, it is something else.
Yeah, sorry.
Can I go? Yeah, you. Yeah, sorry. Can I go?
Yeah, you can go, yeah.
I'm just thinking, is it 69?
Yes, it is.
Yep, I'm not even going to ask.
Okay, you know, that's a five.
I had to think about it.
Yeah, I had to think about it.
That's a logo.
It looks like a little six and nine for those Pisces players out there.
What are we on?
We're at five to Tony, two to Sarah.
All right, Sarah, we need to get you off the ground here.
What about this one?
It is the emoji of corn.
Sarah.
Sarah.
Sarah.
Yep.
Corn.
Yes, Sarah.
Who's ladies did it?
Do we get the two most emoji illiterate ladies in the whole Rice Cook community?
You guys are amazing.
We didn't know any of these.
All right, now I'm going to spell this one out for you, okay?
Sierra, if you get the next two, we go to a tiebreaker,
which you don't have a tiebreaker question,
so you both get a voucher.
Okay.
Okay.
It is the index finger pointing into the circular hole finger.
Tony.
Tony.
Uh, six.
Oh, Tony.
You said that one.
You said that one to Mr. Tony.
All right.
Last one.
I think Tony's one.
Let's have some fun with it anyway.
Yeah, let's keep going.
We're learning.
The three dripping droplets of water.
Sarah.
Yes, Sarah.
Sarah.
Orgasm.
Yeah!
Guys, that was great.
Well done to both of you.
I'm going to give you both a voucher.
They both deserve one.
You both deserve an Iserotic Boutique voucher.
Because I know Sarah was on the cusp every time.
Yeah, no, you know what?
She was just really fast out the gate.
Sarah, we could hear you.
Hey, well done, guys.
Have you?
No, you couldn't.
Sarah wants it on the record.
I speak emoji.
Jess and Daco.
Right now, Daco, for as long as I can remember,
I have been a firm proponent of the belief
you are not just who you are.
You were created to be who you are.
Nurture versus nature.
Nature, obviously, you just come out and you are who you're going to be.
And yeah, you can be swayed by society, by your environment, of course, by your family,
but you are innately who you're going to be.
I've never really believed that. I thought, nah, you're a product of your environment, of course, by your family, but you are innately who you're going to be. I've never really believed that.
I thought, nah, you're a product of your environment.
I think it's just a way for me to blame my parents for all my shortcomings.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Every time growing up, my mum would have a go at me over something.
I was a big fan of yelling, and who raised me?
You did this to me.
You can imagine how well that went down.
Yeah, yeah.
Come on, Lucia says that to you in the future.
Now I'm a parent.
It's all coming back. It's karma. It's karma. Yeah. Come on to Lucia, says that to you in the future. Now I'm a parent. It's all coming back. It's karma. It's karma.
But she did something the other day that left me shocked and has rattled my beliefs
that maybe nature is the stronger of the two.
Because as much as I'm trying to raise her to be a certain way and
like certain things and behave in particular ways,
she's just marching to the beat of her own drum.
No more so than the other day we had a girlfriend come around.
She also has a little one.
And you'll learn this very quickly.
It's better to just always have snacks on you.
Once you move away from boob or bottle, always have snacks.
Okay.
Because I have found 9.9 times out of 10, when there's an issue, it's because we're
hangry.
Right.
So a little snack will calm things down.
So Gigi, eight months old, has come around with her own little lunchbox and she opens
it up and has a little snack on the play mat.
Lucia sees it, wanders over, swipes something out of Gigi's lunchbox.
Now, automatically, I'm so sorry how rude.
I'll get her her own snack.
We're at my house.
And her mum's going, it's all right.
She can have it.
She gobbles it down, goes back for another piece, gobbles that down, and basically eats
all of Gigi's lunch.
I went, oh my God, what is that?
I'm going to have to start making it.
Here we go.
Vegemite bloody sandwich.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
Darko.
Vegemite bloody sandwich. We don't have. You don't have Vegemite in the house. We're not a Vegemite bloody sandwich. Oh, yes. Taco. Vegemite bloody sandwich.
We don't have.
You don't have Vegemite in the house.
We're not a Vegemite.
That's her first time tasting Vegemite.
Truly.
And I've never seen her go harder.
Oh, how good.
On something.
Yes.
What a.
Lucia Margarita is very Australian.
What a true blue little Aussie lady.
I couldn't believe my eyes.
I go to Woolworths.
I thought, I'm going to have to buy a Vegemite.
We always have bread in the house, but we don't have.
Oh, mate, you can have it on cruscuts if they're allowed cruscuts.
Yeah, I don't know when they can't.
Whatever.
Bread.
She can have teaspoons of Vegemite.
I stood in the spreads aisle.
Yeah.
And I couldn't do it.
You didn't buy it?
I couldn't buy it.
Oh, she's chose.
I'm going to buy her Vegemite.
Can someone else?
You can even get the tubes of Vegemite where you can just spread it on?
Yuck.
I cannot.
Does Angus not like Vegemite?
He's not a Vegemite boy either.
He's a peanut butter boy and he likes jam.
Vegemite's one of the great gifts this country has to offer.
Evidently.
I can't even tell you the last time I had Vegemite.
I don't even know if I've even put it on my tongue.
Have you ever tasted it? I don't reckon you have. I don't even know if I've even put it on my tongue. Have you ever tasted it?
I don't reckon you have.
I don't reckon you have.
The smell alone.
Oh, you've got to taste it.
And the look alone.
It doesn't look and smell like it should be good, but it is good.
I couldn't believe how much she was stealing out of this little baby's lunchbox.
She went to town.
But, yes, standing at the aisle, and even the tiny jars, I think they're about $4.50.
I went, I'm not spending $4.50.
I'm not doing it.
I cannot do it.
That's so nice, though.
And you can have it, like I said, she can have it on toast.
She can have it on a sandwich.
See, I keep forcing her to try and have my avocado with goat cheese on toast, and she
seems to enjoy it, but she certainly doesn't wolf it down.
Like, she's wolfed down this little girl's cubes of sandwich.
Because I could see it going two ways with kids.
Like either it's way too salty and they're just like, no, I don't want that.
It's such a strong fragrance, flavor, all of that.
And for not having had salt pretty much in her diet at all, she went, maybe that's what it was.
Yeah, it's very salty.
It was a dopamine hit of salt.
Do you know if there was butter on there as well?
Oh, well, now that's a question.
Because I always go, I'm a big believer that butter needs to lay the Vegemite.
Okay.
Always.
Okay.
Some people just go bareback Vegemite.
Because I try and give her peanut butter sandwiches, keep up with the allergy exposure.
Peanut butter and butter?
Well, no, I only did peanut butter.
Not interested.
So maybe that was her telling me.
Try butter with peanut butter and see if she likes it.
Butter with peanut butter, but also butter with Vegemite.
Butter with Vegemite for me, I think that's the way to go.
Now that I'm saying it out loud, I feel like such a bad mum.
Oh, you've got to buy it.
She's shown me what she likes.
I'll genuinely buy her some today and I'll bring it in and give it to you.
Can you?
Because even just putting my money towards Vegemite makes me feel blasphemous.
I'm like, eh.
Give it a go.
Bite for her, bite for you, bite for her, bite for you.
My husband has often said, you know, please stop eating pasta for lunch when you know
we're having it planned for dinner. I know, please stop eating pasta for lunch when you know we're having it
planned for dinner. I go, what do people
eat for lunch? And he often says, sandwich.
Vegemite sandwich. People eat
sandwiches. Yeah. I've never made a sandwich
in my life. Lucia will love Cheesymite
scrolls. Cheesymite scrolls are
fantastic. Is that cheese and Vegemite?
Yeah, you get it from the bakery. Oh my god.
Okay, maybe we're opening. I named this
kid the most ethnic name I could think of.
This is her way of getting back at you.
She's come out blonde hair and blue eyes.
She looks nothing like you.
Now she's addicted to Vegemite.
She'll probably hate margarita pizza.
It's a betrayal.
Jess and Ducko.
Jess and Ducko.
I'm very excited.
What for?
Because your daughter likes Vegemite on toast.
You were telling us that about five minutes ago.
I've had about three messages from girlfriends.
Yeah.
And we've had a couple of messages on the text line.
Yeah, saying?
And even a woman has DM'd us saying, I'll buy it.
What's your address?
I'll drop it over.
Well, we've...
Oh, someone also saying, I bet you your baby will hate Vegemite.
Yeah, yeah.
I've got some Vegemite on toast right here.
I went and made some in that break.
Oh, my God.
Because you've never tried it.
So if your daughter's liking it, you've got to like it.
I was going to talk about something else.
That is not the take out.
No, this is so good.
I'm salivating just having this here.
So funny.
It's usually so pungent.
I don't even smell you come in.
Because I put butter on it.
Oh, does that dull the senses a little bit?
I don't know.
Maybe.
I'm not eating that.
You're having a bite. No, thank you. Just one bite. I'm 33, Duggar. I'm happy bit? I don't know. Maybe. I'm not eating that. You're having a bite.
No, thank you.
Just one bite.
I'm 33, Duggar.
I'm happy with what I...
No, be brave for your daughter.
Do it for your daughter.
Don't.
Just one bite.
It's got butter on it.
I don't want it to be brave for her.
She's already eating it.
Just because you're refusing to bite.
If you can taste what you're missing out.
It's only...
I'm not asking you to eat the whole piece because I want the piece.
Just one bite.
Just break a bit off.
Don't hand me that whole thing.
It's got butter on it. I lay good butter on there for you. It's got good piece. Just one bite. Just break a bit off. Don't hand me that whole thing. It's got butter on it.
I lay good butter on there for you. It's got good
butter. I need to get you some good coverage.
Okay. There we go. That's a good
bit. There we go. Try that.
It feels... Oh, yuck.
Why does it look like that?
Don't overthink it. Just, you know... Oh, there's the
smell. Now just put it in your mouth
and just go, this is for my daughter. I don't
want it. Because this could be you.
You could be a Vegemite gal now.
Oh, no.
You didn't even take a bite.
Come on.
Just take a bite.
Just eat it.
Just take a bite.
It's not going to kill you.
It's Vegemite.
Just stay out of it.
It's Vegemite.
No.
She took the tiniest, like a centimeter.
I can't get out of my own head.
It tastes like something's off. What? Something's off. Oh, I just hit the out of my own head It tastes like something's off
What?
Something's off
Oh, I just hit the back of my throat
You had like a centimetre of that toast
It's so strong, you don't need much
No, but I love it
I know, you eat it by the tablespoon
Would you like that, babe?
Have a proper bite, come on
Just give it a, yeah, there you go, that's a bite
Let it all rain in.
I don't like it.
I don't like it.
I don't want.
Oh, I don't.
Just spat it out.
How is that the number?
Oh, God, that's going to linger on the tongue.
It's just salt.
It's not, though.
I like salt.
That is fermented.
Oh, it's in the crevices of my teeth.
Oh, we've just ruined our day.
That's what your daughter loves.
How has that become the national spread of this country?
It's delicious.
That is not good.
That is coriander territory.
I think you love it or you hate it.
How dare you?
There's no middle ground for that, is there?
Yeah, no, there is no middle ground for Vegemite.
There's not on the fence.
People either love it or hate it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That will never, never be in my home.
You can add a bit of cheese to that too.
Vegemite butter and cheese is fantastic.
Someone said Vegemite butter and avocado.
Yeah, that's good too.
Avocado and Vegemite weirdly work well together.
I guess it's breakfast time.
He might be at home.
You know what's awesome, which you're going to absolutely hate because you don't eat them?
Vegemite and butter with boiled eggs.
Oh, God, that's a trifecta.
Wow.
That's good times.
How do you do that?
Do you smear some Vegemite on the egg?
No, no, you put the Vegemite and butter on toast.
Oh, and then put the egg on the toast.
What do you think?
I'm just dipping my egg in Vegemite.
I thought the egg was in the little egg holder
and you smeared some on the egg.
Sounds real fancy.
Unless it's fancy or pasta, Jess doesn't get it.
I don't get it, man.
She can't understand how the common folk eat the Vegemite.
That's disgusting.
That's awful.
Controversial game we play here. Controversial. Year of the song. Controversial game we play here.
Controversial.
Year of the Song.
Not amongst us, but amongst the cookers.
Amongst the cookers.
Does it count as a game?
Is it good?
Yeah.
Is it enjoyable?
Play along if you like it.
Otherwise, we'll see you in about five minutes.
048-888-1069 if you want to get involved on the text line.
Tests well, this game.
It really does. Shy Guy. Yes. Today's theme is... the text line. Tests well, this game. It really does.
Shy guy.
Yes.
Today's theme is...
Oh, okay.
We'll get right into it.
Snoop Dogg.
Dr. Dre discovered him.
This is the artist Dr. Dre has discovered.
Ooh.
How old is Dre today?
He's 59 today.
We were only celebrating Edith's birthday, but now you're telling me we're celebrating
Dre's as well.
It's a bit odd.
Is this Snoop Dogg?
This is Snoop Dogg and David Guetta.
Oh, jeez.
Jesus Christ.
I could definitely hear the Guetta in this song.
Yeah, he loves a bit of...
I don't know what this would be.
This is when D gets his pumping.
Absolutely.
Did I hear this at Tomorrowland or did I not?
I had his memories album in my Mazda 6.
Used to drive that one with the boys.
Oh, yeah.
Darko's in it in 2010.
Jess is in it in 2004.
The correct answer is 2011.
Oh!
He knows his gets.
Yeah, Memories album.
That was 09.
So I used to pump that in the Mazda.
Eminem?
Dre discovered Eminem.
Dre discovered Eminem.
Say Dre.
Does Dre think Eminem is the greatest rapper of all time?
I don't know.
You have to ask him.
I wonder who, because Dre would have discovered a lot of rappers.
I wonder who he thinks is the cream of the crop.
50 Cent, who's the best?
Probably the ones he brought out on his own Super Bowl show with 50 Cent, Eminem.
Is this Stan?
What's this song called?
Stan.
Yeah, yeah.
When he has her in the car and drives off the cliff.
I only know Lose Yourself really well, but the rest of Eminem.
This is Curtain Call, I believe, the album Curtain Call,
which is before 8 Mile.
Oh, God.
I'm going to say...
I'm going to go with my original guess for that other song.
I'm going to say this is...
Jess is in.
Oh, you've got 04.
This isn't my favourite of Eminem's.
I'm going to go...
We've used other Eminem songs in other themes, so M&M's. I'm going to go... We've used other M&M's songs in other themes.
Fair.
Damn, I was going to go 04.
Okay, let me just put this in.
What grade was I in?
What year was that?
Are we going high school?
It's going to be high school.
What was I in here?
Year 8.
I think that's too late.
All right, 2006 for Ducker, 2004 for Jess.
The correct answer is 2000.
Ooh.
Well off. Turn of the millennium. Ooh. You're both spot on. Well off.
Turn of the Millennium.
We all survived Y2K.
Eminem released Stan.
Mary J. Blige.
Oh.
We played this a bit on Army Fridays.
Now I have no idea when this song was released.
Mary J. Blige.
I have zero idea, but we play it all the time.
I'll give you two bucks if you know what the J stands for.
Ooh, Jennifer.
Jane.
Mary, oh.
Her name's Mary Jane.
MJ.
What year do you think this song came out in?
Oh, goodness me.
You know what?
Can we have a clue?
Until it pays off.
You just got to go four again.
Got to go four again.
They're all giving early noughties to me.
There's your clue.
Early noughties.
But how early?
I can't tell you.
2002 for Ducker, 2004 for Jess again.
The correct answer is 2001.
Still no points.
I've got one.
I've got one point.
As in for that one?
No, he means the whole game.
Oh, yeah, no.
He said 2011 before and the 2010.
You're good at that to me. What do you mean? The very first one. The very first one. No, he means the whole game. Oh, yeah, no. He said 2011 before and the 2010. You're good at that to me.
What do you mean?
The very first one.
I'm so confused. The very first one.
I was one under. Yeah, yeah, he went one.
He went one over.
I was one under in the first one. I can't remember.
Whatever. You got a point.
Kendrick Lamar, all the stars.
SZA, Kendrick Lamar, all the stars.
Yes, the SZA.
I remember back-enhancing this song a few times.
Yes, we did play this.
We haven't been able to play some of his more recent stuff.
This is Black Panther.
It is.
Wakanda forever.
Wakanda.
The book I just finished had a fictional town in America called Wakand.
Oh, yeah.
And all I could read was Wakanda.
Yeah.
I'm like, where's Black Panther going to pop up?
My cousin lives in Wanaka in New Zealand.
I call it Wakanda.
Wakanda.
100%.
Can't help it.
Now, when did this movie come out?
Chadwick Boseman.
This was the OG.
I think that's my favourite of the Marvel Universe.
Yeah, the first Black Panther.
Unbelievable.
He's general.
That bald chick.
Unbelievable.
She's fantastic.
Jeez, I'm trying.
I've got...
It's definitely not a four.
Michael B. Jordan's in it.
I'm happy to call it. This is... No, I think you should stick to it. You should definitely stick to it. I, I'm trying. I've got, it's definitely not 04. Michael B. Jordan's in it. I'm happy to call.
This is definitely not 04.
No, I think you should stick to it.
You should definitely stick to it.
I'm going to go pre-COVID.
Yeah.
Oh, you've gone 18.
Is that too recent?
I don't know.
I can't remember when this movie came out.
I think it came out, I think it was earlier.
I was happy to ride the 04 train until it paid off, but I can't with this.
No, I think pre-COVID's pretty good.
I'm trying to think if I was where I was living at the time.
Not here.
Okay, I'll go deeper.
2017 for Ducko, 2018 for Jess with the correct answer.
Which means this one's for the win.
Here we go, you can't write this stuff.
This is exciting. Warren G. You play this one's for the win. Oh, here we go. You can't write this stuff. This is exciting.
Warren G.
You play this every hour.
I'll be honest.
This could be 04.
Do I go again?
I think you should stick to your guns.
Hang on.
Do you know?
No, no, no.
Warren G.
Warren G and Snoop?
This is with Dre.
Oh, Dr. Dre.
Is that Dre there?
Dre fun.
This is early 00s. Is he a billionaire? Dre phone. This is early O's.
Is he a billionaire?
Dre.
It'd have to be.
It'd have to be.
All the residuals for all the artists.
The beats by Dre as well, the headphones.
That's important, yep.
Oh, how much would that have been?
That would have been a shiny deal.
$400 million on a quick Google.
That's what he's worth?
Yeah.
Net worth is $500 million.
Okay, half a billion.
It's nothing to sneeze at.
$2,000 a month for Ducko.
$2,004 again for Jess.
The correct answer, and for the win, goes to no one.
It's $90.94.
Whoa!
That's old.
Yeah!
That's a tie.
$90.94.
Everyone's a winner, baby.
That's a tie.
It's our first top hat in Year of the Soul. I think it is. Absolutely right. Everyone's a tie. 94. Everyone's a winner, baby. It's a tie. It's our first Tope hat in Year of the Soul.
I think it is.
Absolutely right.
Everyone's a winner.
Well, happy birthday, Dre.
Happy birthday, Dre.
But that's not the birthday we're focusing on today.
Good call.
Up next, the oldest rice cooker we have joins the show.
She's celebrating an unbelievable.
Huge birthday.
Unbelievable birthday today.
Yeah.
We'll do it next.
Jess and Ducko.
We received a message yesterday on 048881069.
Gorgeous rice cooker named Julie said,
Hey, guys, I know you don't often do this,
but can I do a birthday shout out for my grandma?
Very sweet.
We already love the idea that grandma is a rice cooker,
might be listening to the show.
We hope she's a rice cooker.
Enjoying our silliness.
Always. For a Tuesday's a rice cooker. Enjoying our silliness. Always.
For a Tuesday morning for her birthday.
We went, absolutely.
How old is she turning?
And when we heard the number, we thought, well, this is not something we can just send
a message back, do an off-the-cuff comment at 6am.
We need to get this woman on because it's an unbelievable milestone.
Let's go to Edith now, whose birthday it is. at 6am, we need to get this woman on because it's an unbelievable milestone. Crazy.
Let's go to Edith now, whose birthday it is.
Hello, Edith.

Now, Edith, can you tell us all how old you're turning today?
How old are you?
104.

Happy, happy birthday, Edith. How old are you? A hundred and four. A hundred and four!
Happy, happy birthday, Edith.
That is an amazing milestone.
Born in 1921.
And still going strong with your granddaughter, Julie, by your side.
Julie, thank you so much for messaging us yesterday.
We're so happy to celebrate with you, with Edith, with your whole family.
What a huge day.
Yes, it is.
Now, it says here, Edith, or Julie, that Edith has 13 kids, 60 grandkids,
45 great-grandkids, and 17 great-great-grandkids.
Is that correct?
Yes. Amazing. What that correct? Yes.
Amazing.
What?
This is incredible.
What a huge, what does Christmas look like in your household?
Crazy.
Crazy.
Crazy.
Edith, how are you going to spend today for your birthday?
What's your favourite thing to do for your birthday? What are you going to do today for your birthday, Nan?
Nothing much.
A beer and a club.
A beer and a club.
I love it.
What's your beer of choice, Edith?
Yeah, we like.
Are you a great northern girl, a two-ease new?
4X probably.

What's the secret to a long life, Nan?
One beer.
A couple of beers a day.
Couple of beers a day. Couple of beers a day. A couple of beers a day.
A couple of beers a day.
Is that it?
And good family around you, Edith.
Yeah, good family with me.
Beers and family.
Beers and family.
That's a winning combination in my book.
Dominic Toretto couldn't have said it better himself.
Oh, I love that.
Wow, that's fantastic.
Julie, what do you buy a 104-year-old?
What sort of presents has Nan got today?
Scratchies.
Scratchies?
Oh, they love scratchies.
She'll probably win them too.
Absolutely.
Oh, yes, she's very lucky.
Oh, very lucky.
Of course.
I mean, to make it to 104.
It's fantastic.
It's amazing.
What an achievement.
1921.
That's incredible.
That is unbelievable.
She'd have some absolutely incredible stories.
She would.
I'll tell you what, Edith, we know you're desperate for one of these,
so we're going to give you a Jess and Darko fridge magnet.
Thank you.
You're very welcome.
I feel like that deserved more excitement.
Yeah, you'll get excited when you see it, Edith.
Absolutely.
You'll get excited when you see it.
Oh, Julie, again, thank you so much for reaching out.
Happy birthday, Edith.
We're so happy to have you on the radio today.
Thank you for joining us.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You crack a cold one, Edith.
Crack a twoies for us, Edith.
Wow.
Cheers.
Goodbye.
That's so cool.
104.
Oh, that's incredible.
That's a long time.
We're still speaking, chatting.
I know, right?
1921.
She got a letter from the Queen for you.
Do you get a letter every year you go beyond 100?
Don't know.
Like she's seen Queens and now she might get a letter from Chuck.
Oh, yeah.
It's incredible.
It's just unbelievable.
And she's a rice cooker, obviously.
And she's a rice cooker.
A proud rice cooker with now one of the biggest magnets known to man.
Is she going to take that one to the retirement home?
Everyone's going to love it.
Jess and Ducko in the morning.

Today's player at 8 o'clock is Christina.
Hello, Christina.
Hi, how are you?
Oh, we couldn't be better, Christina.
We have the opportunity to change your day.

Probably put it towards like an overseas trip, I think, with my family.
Take the family.
Okay, that's nice.
That is very nice.
How do you often go?
Are you good at this game?
It's a hidden myth, so we'll see.

Because we got six. I think the issue was Christina didn't back herself. I think so too. You had the answers, damn. You know what I think the issue was there? Because we got six.
I think the issue was Christina didn't back herself.
I think so, too.
You had the answers, Christina.
You knew them. You could hear the hesitation.
Yeah, you knew them.
It's that timer every time it comes on.
You're like, ah, Pentagon, you knew.
You knew.
Yeah, Paul McCartney was in there.
The timer, look, the only one you didn't answer was a flower,
which could have been a poppy.
Everything else you got, you got correct.
You got three six.
The timer did show up your time.
But you don't go away empty-handed.
$100 suspended anaconda.
That's all yours.
That's a bit of fun.
Thank you so much.
Next best thing, go on a camping adventure.
Go on a camping adventure.
And you know what, Christina, back yourself.
You're enough.
You've got it.
Thank you.
That's nice.
You are enough.
At the top of the show, I told you about one of my favourite sayings,
be as you wish to seem.
Yep.
When you attack Alpha Bucks, you need to be confident to seem confident.
Let them.

It's all coming into one.
It really is.
That's a bit of Tuesday motivation for you, Christina.
Thanks, guys.
Read the T's and C's.
Work out when you can next play again.
Honestly, that confidence up. We'll try again. That's right. Thanks for playing Read the T's and C's. Work out when you can next play again. Honestly that confidence up.
Thanks for playing.
Jess and Junko
are you the least favourite child?
Moshe, Moshe, Moshe.
We don't want to hear from favourite children.
We don't want to hear from it. Even though
I think it's on the record you and I both believe
we are the favourites. I think we are the favourites.
Your brother got a new driver for Christmas. They're like $900.
That's true but I created the first grandchild so I think we are the favorites. Well, your brother got a new driver for Christmas. They're like $900. That's true.
But I created the first grandchild.
So I will always be in the good books.
My mum just spent all her money allocated to me on my daughter,
which I've finally grappled with.
But I think I am.
It's because I talk to my parents more.
My brother's a closed book.
Yeah.
See, I'm the open book.
My sisters are more closed.
So researchers have discovered that in most families,
favoritism actually follows a similar pattern. So it's a Birmingham Young University study they did, pulling from bulk peer reviews
and databases for their meta-analysis of parents' differential treatment
on the ways that parents treat siblings differently. Like, how much time you
spend with your kids, or things you give them, money you give them, and leeway you
give them with certain activities.
Okay.
So a parent might show this treatment by, yes, spending more time with one child, spending
more money on them, for example.
I know my youngest, my little sister, always used to get the money the easiest, but I think
that's as you have more kids, the rules just keep sliding.
Totally.
Because I always think that line about more leeway, I don't think that necessarily is
favoritism. It's almost like, just go do whatever you want, I don't think that necessarily is favoritism.
It's almost like, you can just go do whatever you want.
I don't care.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
My parents were so much more into me that they were a bit more on my ass a bit.
But I think that was a sign of like, we're a bit more obsessed with you.
I also think the older sibling gets more harsh because you're the first.
Like my sister, I'm the middle.
My sister definitely had the harder rules, the harder restrictions, and it was a bit
easier for me.
And then my third sister, she was going clubbing in grade 12.
It's like, where is Laura? We don't know. We haven't seen her for a week.
She's nine. She should probably have come home.
So how's this? Study found that daughters tend to be the favorite. This was across the board.
Both mothers and fathers tend to show different treatment for the daughters and have a softer
touch on their daughters. Can I offer an explanation that maybe isn't in the study?
Yeah.
I think universally it's known the oldest daughter in particular is the organiser.
Yes, always.
When things need to be done for the parents, it always fell on me.
I'm sure, Abby, your older sister would say the same.
It's hard to not appreciate that.
Yeah.
My parents know I always did the gifts.
I organized the dinners.
Yep.
I've never organized a gift.
Yep.
Not a single one.
You're lucky your name's even getting on the card.
I started leaving my brother's name off the card.
Yeah.
I went, oh, my parents know.
I'm still transferring.
Yeah.
I don't even know.
So like Christmas when it's like my sister's birthday, I think mum had something in there.
I didn't know what we were paying for anymore.
I was like, who am I paying?
Who am I owing what to?
What do you need and when?
So children who are favoured tend to have better mental health and do better in school.
I mean, because there's more attention.
There's more focus.
And I know you've only got one.
When you get a second, we'll do this analysis because I think it's BS that parents don't
have a favourite.
Now, maybe your favourite swaps.
Oh, who's annoyed you less that week?
Yep.
That's very fair. My sister's got four kids and right now they've got a, who's annoyed you less that week? Yep. That's very fair.
My sister's got four kids and right now they've got a favourite who's the youngest.
But it always varies depending on the age and what they're doing on the stage.
I believe in my family, I was definitely the favourite.
Now, my reason for this on 131060, are you the least favourite and why?
I don't think it was me, but I was a favourite because I threw a cat at my sister's face.
Yes.
When we had a fight once.
That's right.
Nearly blinding her.
I was young.
Scratch her on the eyeball. Millimeter away from being blind. I also threw a coat hanger at my other sister when. Yes. We had a fight once. That's right. Nearly blinding her. I was young. Scratch her on the eyeball.
Millimeter away from being blind.
I also threw a coat hanger at my other sister when we had an argument about something.
You always go for the eyes, don't you?
I didn't mean to hit the eyes.
It's just great, Amy.
Obviously.
Headshots.
Nearly blinded both of them.
My parents didn't get angry at me at all.
Nick would never.
Ducko would never do that.
Butter would melt.
He's our little boy.
So who do you think was the least favourite in the three of you growing up?
It's a tough one.
I think Laura got
away with the most. Probably Abby.
My older sister. There you go. So kind of going against
this research, your parents.
I mean, she's bossy as well.
We don't use the B word anymore. She's assertive.
She's assertive. So you think
you were the favourite of your brother? I think I was the favourite.
I think my brother was the least favourite and I probably
have a similar example. I remember
doing a long road trip and I was
obviously bored. Took a big slug
of Solo and spat it at my brother
just for something to do. My mum
turned around and smacked him.
How old were you?
Not young enough.
Yeah, I was going to say, knowing you, probably 16?
He used to bully me
about my hairy ethnic arm.
I think I was payback finally.
It's a special bond.
My mum turned around.
I remember I did that classic wog thing where she turned around and smacked him.
That's so funny.
Like his legs.
And he's going, dripping, a solo drips from his face.
What?
How am I in trouble for this?
How dare you do it to your sister?
So I think he might have been the least favourite.
Yeah, you're probably more open.
I want to know from Babs because Babs is a, you're three girls.
That's right.
So they're all girls.
And she's the oldest.
You're the oldest.
Who do you think is the favourite in your family?
Not me.
Ooh, okay.
Are you the least, you reckon?
I reckon yes.
And why?
Because I just was a pain in the bum.
I was hard work.
And I think mum and dad used to get cranky at me.
The sass pants
developed on Babs before her little
sisters. So they went, where did this come from?
Where's our sweet angel gone?
We are looking for the least
favourite children. We don't want to hear about
goody two-shoes favourites like Ducko and I
claim to be. We want to hear
if you're the forgotten one.
We're looking for Jan.
We're looking for Jan. Are you the Jan of your family?
And why?
You could be going to see Nellie.
13, 10, 16.
Jess and Ducco.
Jess and Ducco.
We're asking, are you the least favourite child?
Moshe, Moshe, Moshe.
Yeah, we're looking for Jans.
We don't want to hear from goody two-shoes.
No.
Favourite children.
No.
Even though Ducco and I think we both were the favourite.
Yeah, yeah.
Just because we gave our parents a bit more conversation than our siblings.
We want to hear from your Babs of the world.
Look at my little pudgy.
That's right.
You can look amongst your siblings and go, yeah, I don't think I'm top dog here.
Yeah.
And this new research has said generally it is the eldest born daughter that is the favourite. Interesting.
We've already found Babs annoyed her parents with her sass. Yep.
She thinks her sisters have usurped her. So the new study has come out saying that yes, parents
do in fact favour a child, whether it's money, whether it's spending time with them, but
predominantly girls and the oldest girl, yes, seems to be the favourite.
But every family is different.
Every family is different, and every kid can annoy their parents in different ways.
Oh, yeah.
To not be the apple of their eye.
Sarah, good morning to you.
Good morning, guys.
Are you the Jan of your family?
Do you think you're least favourite?
I am 100% the least favourite of my parents.
What's your sibling situation?
Okay, one of two.
I've got an older brother.
Okay.
Yeah, and he was the golden child for sure.
Yeah.
He was just good at school, good at sport, all that sort of stuff?
Well, if you ask my parents, he was nicer than me.
Nicer than you?
Okay, so were you just giving your parents a bit more grief than your brother?
Apparently, he was super nice, and he was good at school and everything, Nice than you. Okay, so were you just giving your parents a bit more grief? Apparently.
He was super nice, and he was good at school and everything,
and he was super polite.
Suddenly, I was just a nightmare.
It sounds like you've actually had this conversation with your parents.
Did they say, yeah, we were off you for a long time?
And they will deny it.
Like, that's not true.
I'm like, it is so true.
It is so true.
It's always true. He was allowed to do X, Y, Z, and Sarah not true. I'm like, it is so true. It is so true. It's always true.
He was allowed to do X, Y, Z and Sarah wasn't.
Studies come out.
We go to Jessie on 131060.
Jessie, are you the Jan?
Are you the least favourite child?
Yes, I am the least favourite child, that's for sure.
So you have an older brother.
What were the differences you saw growing up where you thought,
hang on a minute, I think they prefer him to me?
Well, we were both in the grand final for soccer and I was playing in the women's comp, my brother plays in the men's,
and I look over and I'm playing and my mum is sitting
for my brother's team, which he plays for Yeronga,
and I play for Goolga, and I thought, well, there you go.
My mum is sitting with the opposition that I was versing Yerunga as well
at the time.
Okay.
But she had put the line in the sand.
I'm supporting where my boy plays.
Yes.
And even if I won the Nelly thing, I still want to take my mum.
You're not going to curry her favour now, Jessie.
It sounds like the ship has sailed.
Oh, it's funny.
Sitting in the opposition stand because that's who your brother plays for.
And that sort of example is the perfect experiment.
You know what I mean?
Because you might be going, oh, but I was five years younger.
I'm a girl and he's a boy.
No, that's like you had an opportunity, Mum, and you chose.
You chose a side.
Luke on 131060, are you the least favourite child, Luke? Morning, Justin Ducko.
100% I'm the least favourite child in our family.
What's your sibling situation, Luke? I've got a younger sister.
When she first came along, I got very jealous of not getting
the attention anymore, so I used to do things like putting cask wine
from the fridge in her milk bottles.
I used to cut her hair when mum got her first little piggy tails done.
And I used to set her up by getting her to do all sorts of things
to make mum and dad not very happy as well.
So definitely the black sheep in the family there.
Sounds like you dug your own hole there.
I love it. Let's get the baby drunk.
She had the weirdest look on her
face when she first had a taste of that bottle and mum
knew something was up. Yeah, good. I'm glad mum
caught it.
Alex, wrap us up here. You're the least
favourite child. Oh, I definitely
am. Okay, so even though you're the oldest, Alex?
Yes.
We're seven years apart, my sister and I.
She's in my mum's phone as favourite daughter.
That's pretty clear.
She got married a couple of weeks ago and asked me to MC her reception,
and I got a message from mum asking me to include in my speech that she's
my father's favourite.
Oh, wow.
Let's just put it on the record.
Was there a thing that happened or is it just gradually over time?
No, I was a big pain in the bum.
Seems to be a common thread here.
Yeah, yeah.
The least favourite children know what they've done.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They know how they turned their parents off.
Have you done a wedding yet?
Have you emceed?
Yeah, yeah. It was a couple of weeks ago. a couple of weeks ago. I didn't include it.
Made them even more angry. I just love the idea that there's
families driving to school and there's parents looking at each other's side eyes and there's kids like, is it me?
Is it me? It's me, isn't it? No, no, we love you both equally.
Jess and Daco. The RBA's meeting today, Jess.
Hopefully interest rate cuts are on the horizon.
Do not put this boy in a box.
Do not put him in a box.
I only let the RBA a couple of years ago and I bought a home.
Look what they do.
Absolutely.
I've hated them ever since.
We're looking for cuts.
They're looking for cuts.
We want cuts.
When people tune into Jess and Ducco, they just do not know what they're going to get.
Here I am telling the average punter, you know, we're not journalists.
I don't think people tune into our show to hear real stuff.
They come for a light chuckle, a little bit of amusement,
and maybe a double pass to Nellie.
Here you come out the gates with some RBA chats.
Sell, sell, buy, buy, money.
Slash, slash, slash.
We don't like them looking for cuts.
You know, inflation's on the down.
We want the cuts.
Of course we are.
Yeah.
But why is that on your mind?
Well, just because they're meeting today.
My vow to you is I'll stay on air all day until we get a result,
then I'll give you the live announcement.
Awesome.
I might go.
No, no.
We're a team.
We'll do this together.
Nah, I've got lunch plans.
There's a barn me with my name on it.
Oh, okay.
I'll call you.
Okay.
You'll be live from barn me.
Great.
I might have a mouthful of
crispy pork, but I'll
be there for you in spirit.
We're crossing life to Ducko. I'm like,
they've made a cut. Thank you. Thank you.
Moving on. You can go home now.
We hope anyway. We hope. You never know.
Never know. You never know. Stay tuned
with the Duckman to find out in real time.
Ducko's finance chats.
We couldn't get you a Metamucil ambassadorship, can we?
Get you to be the face of the RBA.
I want to be the face of the RBA.
I hate those people.
Nah, you can be the face of the RBA now with all this RBA chat.
RBA gear.
Hey, up next though, I do have child chats.
You do.
You've mentioned there's an update.
Yes.
You had an appointment yesterday, 31-week scan.
Yep.
I'm looking forward to hearing.
I always like to keep abreast of what's going on,
how the little lady is developing.
I think you, out of everyone, will be very interested in this.
I am.
I'm intrigued.
Yes.
Okay.
All right.
Well, don't go anywhere.
It's hard to get Shy Guy excited about anything,
so I appreciate why you think he might.
Are you excited, Shy Guy?
Yeah.
Wow, strong.
What else do you want from me?
Come on.
He's unborn, Shy. We would think it would garner a little bit. My un that was strong. What else do you want from me? He's unborn, Shia.
We would think it would garner a little bit.
My unborn rice cooker.
Yeah.
Anyway, no, I have an update.
Jess and Daco.
Had our 31-week scan yesterday, not far away.
Morgan only has three weeks left of work,
and then she has a maternity leave.
That's wild to think about.
It's getting very real now.
I've got so many flat pack boxes to build right now.
Have you set up that bassinet I gave you yet?
Yeah, we have.
We set it up.
You put it in your room?
Yeah, Morgan lay.
Oh, I mean, we took it out because it's a bit early.
But we put it in the room and Morgan lay next to it, put it at the right height.
Yeah, it starts getting really, oh, there'll be a little person in there soon.
And then Pam was like, see, think of it like Pam thought it was her toy.
Like, no, sweetie, you don't sleep in the bassinet.
She's trying to get in.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
When we saw the scan yesterday of our child,
I don't know if you ever
found this with Lucia, we got a weird kid.
She was like,
he's like, oh, she's licking the placenta
wall.
Excuse me? I've never heard that.
You could see her tongue, and apparently
one side of the placenta inside the mum's like
smooth and soft, and the rough is the outside. Apparently some babies will move around and lick it and stuff. We looked over and you could see her tongue. And apparently one side of the placenta inside the mum's smooth and soft, and the rough is the outside.
And apparently some babies will move around and lick it and stuff.
We looked over, and you could see her little tongue.
Really?
On the scan, three scan.
And he's like, yo, they sometimes lick the placenta wall.
I'm like, so we can never get a decent photo of her face,
and she's just sitting there licking the placenta wall.
I've been sitting across from you with that caterpillar slug
on your upper lip for now about three weeks.
Nemo.
You constantly are licking the corner of-
I can't help it.
I can't help it.
It's getting itchy too.
Getting the crumb of Vegemite toast you left from earlier's breakfast.
Your daughter's doing the same thing.
She's licking it.
I said, well, me and Morgan are like, oh, that's cute.
That's like my dog eating her vomit.
Is she just curious?
I don't know.
She's not hungry.
She's just curious.
She's swinging around in there and licking the wall, you know?
And she's only a little baby too because she's me.
How early can you diagnose ADHD?
Oh, pretty early with this one.
Imagine me, though, living in Morgan's body.
Like, she's in a palace.
You know, like we said that.
She's got so much room in there.
But we did find something out yesterday, which is what I wanted to unpack with the team.
I wanted to tell everyone.
So we got given the due date.
Yes.
The due date.
Hang on a minute.
The due date.
I know it's in April.
Is April 15th.
The same date. I knew it. The same date.
I knew it.
The same date as your birthday.
I knew it.
It's also the day the Titanic sank.
Is that day too?
And the day Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.
It's a huge day in history.
As if that day wasn't hard enough for me already.
That day has just become an absolute shit show.
I knew it.
Because we've been talking about your daughter's due date, obviously, a lot.
When your wife
changed her mind about going
from C-section to vaginal,
which you shared late last week.
At this stage, we're still going the vaginal option. That's all
part of it. So the due date, but it has to be induced early.
IVF, baby, they need to be. So
April 15th is that rough due date he's
given us. And I was like, come again?
Did you say? To be fair, I was like, come again? Did you say?
To be fair, I, firstly, am very proud of you for remembering in the moment that that was my birthday.
Well, you drilled it into me now for about five years.
You've really drilled it into me.
What I'm hearing is that she'll be an Aries queen with an amazing, hey, Emma Watson, also born April 15th.
You like Hermione.
Don't bring my childhood crush into this.
There's a lot.
I can't believe it.
There's a lot to like it.
I could not believe it.
I can only assume they're also born on April 15.
It is a beautiful date.
I just couldn't believe it.
I was like, what are the odds of that?
It's far enough away from Christmas that you still get a lot of joy.
It's now out of summer that you're not going to get a 42-degree day
when you want to celebrate.
It's like middle of autumn.
It's beautiful.
It rolls off the tongue April 15th.
I'm going to remember, that's for sure.
I've got a lot to share about the Zodiac, but I'll save that for later.
The main issues I have is, you know, you require a lot of maintenance
for your birthday, you know, presents and that.
Pardon me for enjoying a celebration.
It's not a crime.
But I feel like now you've got a free pass.
Well, I was going to say, is it harder for me now or is it a free pass?
You need a free pass.
You have to ask Jess.
You don't celebrate mine.
You celebrate your daughter's.
Correct, yeah.
What I'm hearing is you celebrate the other two of the three most important women.
Ah, four.
Put your mum in there.
Of the four most important women in your life,
I make up one of them.
Your wife and your mum are in there.
Yeah, yeah.
Two of those people will celebrate the same birthday.
It is a lot of joy in celebrating.
It's a huge day, isn't it?
It's not a bad thing.
No, no, it's going to be an expensive day.
It might be an expensive day.
It's going to be a lot of money.
You raise your kid however you want.
Maybe her language won't be giving slash receiving.
That's on you and Morgan the parenting.
She might go, why does Auntie Jess get all the better presents?
I'm like, just trust me, it's easier, honey.
Oh, we'll have a, I've got no issues with joint parties.
Yeah.
You know, I love to throw a shingy.
You can do a joint first and 34th.
Oh, my God.
That would be.
Actually, she'll turn one when you turn 35.
That's correct, because I'm 34 this year.
So that feels good.
That feels milestone-y.
There you go.
I just couldn't believe it.
I am not mad about this.
I just couldn't believe it.
So sorry, we're inducing on April 15th.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's just wonderful to know.
Incredible news, isn't it?
Oh, my God.
I'm just thrilled.
I thought it could go two ways.
You'll either be very happy, like, that's my day.
Well, I can't have a go
at your unborn child,
can I?
So we've got to go the other way.
No, I'm thrilled.
This is brilliant news.
Big news, isn't it?
It's another Aries in your life.
I don't know if you can handle it.
It also means, though, guys,
I won't be here for Jess's birthday
in the studio,
so it's on YouTube.
Yeah, thanks for that.
Jess and Ducko.
Yo, what up?
This your dirty Nelly, aye?
Oh!
It's getting hot in here. I didn't know about grills till I learnt about Nelly.
Oh, yeah.
You know what I mean?
He's educated us on a lot of stuff.
I used to wear tape on my cheek at school.
Of course you did.
Hell yeah.
Hey, I'm sure you rocked it.
I looked good. If you would like an education with Nelly when he takes over a Horton Pavilion,
you need to get involved this week.
We've got double passes every single day.
It's a go, FOD.
Go for it.
Call of Fame of the day.
Yeah.
About an hour ago, we talked about a study that has said parents are lying when they
say they don't have favourites.
Yep.
They absolutely do.
So we called for Jans, Jans of the world to call up.
Are you the Jan of your family?
Are you the least favourite?
Jessie gave us a buzz.
She says, I've got an older brother.
And my mum really showed us who her favourite was with a soccer game.
Well, we were both in the grand final for soccer
and I was playing in the women's comp, my brother plays in the men's.
And I look over and I'm playing and my mum is sitting for my brother's team,
which he plays for Yeronga, and I play for Guga.
And I thought, well, there you go.
My mum is sitting with the opposition that I was versing Yeronga as well
at the time.
Okay.
But she had put the line in the sand.
I'm supporting where my boy plays.
Yes.
And even if I won the Nelly thing, I still want to take my mum.
Oh, no.
She wasn't supporting Guga.
No.
Supporting Yoronga.
That's all right, because Jessie is going to support her mum
when they go to Nelly's.
Woo-hoo.
Well done, Jessie.
Jessie.
Jessie, sing us your favourite Nelly song.
Go.
I don't know because I'm so hot.
I'm getting hot in here.
Sing hot in here.
Everyone knows that.
Go.
Yeah, come on.
Oh, my God.
It's getting hot in here.
So, talk up.
Oh, you're close.
Oh, my God.
You're off to Nelly.
Yeah.
Congratulations, Jessie.
You're off to Nelly.
Are you still going to take your mum, though?
Yes, and she's listening right now.
She has no service, but she's in her little pink car listening to you.
Oh, mum in the little pink car.
What's your mum's name, Jessie?
Tony.
Tony.
Well, Tony, because your least favourite child is your daughter,
she's taking you to Nellie.
Yeah, that's right.
What's your son done for you lately?
Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing at all.
Jessie, we're going to put you up in accommodation as well.
You're going to go see Nellie the Big Smoke.
Enjoy it.
Oh, my God.
Thank you so much.
You are welcome.
See, the Jans can have retribution.
The Jans can have fun.
You've just got to stick with it.
Yep.
Always stick with it.
Stick with it and try and win your parents' love by giving them Nellie tickets.
Oh, my God.
No worries, Jessie.
Enjoy.
Hey, more tickets like that all week this week.
That's right.
It's exciting.
Not as exciting as your unborn child's birthday,
which has just been decided by your doctor as April 15.
Yep.
Put that out in the universe, baby.
It's a great day.
Jess's birthday is now the same day as my child.
You literally can't write this stuff.
You can't write this stuff.
It's ridiculous.
I swear I don't even have your OB's email.
It's not like I asked an inducer on this day.
My IVF miracle child is now being born on the same day as you.
Potentially.
I mean, good slide.
Am I your guru?
Like, am I?
I need to be.
I'm trying to think, what would be worse, if she slid a day before or a day after?
Well, the day before April 14 is the day the Titanic hit the iceberg.
Okay.
The 15th is the day it sank.
I like the My Day in History website.
You slowly sunk there.
I can't tell you anything that happened on the 16th of April.
Okay.
I think you'd almost want to go 14.
I don't want to go earlier.
All right.
Well, it's exciting, nonetheless.
You're going the 15th.
It's going to be medically induced for the safety of the child and the mum.
It's going to be a busy day.
We're all for it.
I know.
And another Aries queen.
A fire sign.
Ramp.
You've got to learn about the horoscope, babe.
Oh, goodness me.
You need to be equipped.
Oh, goodness me.
See?
All this to look forward to, shy guy.
Yep.
We can have joint parties.
Oh, it's all happening.
Oh, it's a whole thing.
Me and Morgan did have a good chuckle about it.
Like, oh, Jess is going to be excited.
I'm just thrilled.
You know?
Between her wearing all of Lucia's hand-me-downs, now she has my birthday.
Yep.
Oh.
That's good crap.
I feel like we should all just live in the same house.
Like, it's all feeling very interconnected.
Maybe she'll be really Italian.
Like, it'll swap.
Well, we learned today, Lucia Margarita, my one-year-old,
obsessed with Vegemite.
I'm now getting DMs being like,
you're not even a real Australian.
You are getting hate.
I'm waiting for the first get out of our country.
It hasn't gone to that yet.
I was born here, you flew here.
Yeah, that's right.
My daughter, though, she's making amends.
Your kid, though.
I'm going to mould her in my image.
My kid could be your favourite kid.
She's my Marsha.
Have you thought about Marsha as a name?
It's a bit wet.
Okay.
It's a bit salmon escaping from salmon farm.
That'll make sense if you hear the podcast from our first break we did at 6 o'clock.
You should because it was a great show and a lot to love.
Grab it on Listener. Grab it on Listener.
Grab it on Listener.
Review your podcast.
We're back tomorrow.
Tomorrow is Wednesday, Shy Guy Dips Day.
There's more we want to explore around Vegemite,
so make sure you get involved.
We'll unpack that, maybe open the phones up to that.
We still have more tickets to Nellie, your chance to see Nellie.
We have Alphabucks for $10,000.
I still haven't given you my freaking idea for the baby shower.
Oh, yeah, that's tomorrow.
We'll do that tomorrow.
Okay, I look forward to that.
Shy Guy's obviously not kidding.
He's taking her off the board. To be fair. No, just keep moving it. Yeah, whatever. A lot of baby gear, you know. Yeah, yeah, that's tomorrow. We'll do that tomorrow. Okay, I look forward to that. Shy Guy's obviously not kidding. He's taking her off the board.
To be fair.
No, we just keep moving it.
Yeah, whatever.
A lot of baby gear, you know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We could do a whole baby show if we wanted to.
We really could.
Are we cool?
Yeah, we had to talk about salmon and stuff.
No, that's going to be April 15th.
Hey, we are out of here.
Enjoy your day.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
Sarah.
Sarah.
Sarah.
Yep.
Porn.
Jess and Ducko. Thatorn. Jess and Ducko.
That was the Jess and Ducko podcast.
Macca's Fiery News Spicy Chicken McRap is even more reason for a Macca's run.
