The new loose change menu has dropped at Macca's. OMG. T's and C's apply. Jess and Duggo. This is the Jess and Duggo podcast. Welcome to the podcast, everybody. All week we are beta testing some games that potentially could make their way onto the board. Yesterday's big hit, success.

I think we'll keep it. Say the same. I think we landed. Say the same, say the same. That was a lot of fun. Yeah. And we worked out a couple of bugs and drilled down a few things. Might be on the show next week, as early as next week.

Today we've got another game we'd like to beta test. Shy Guy, what's on the agenda for us to cross-check? For this game? Yeah. Nah, for fucking next week's game. What? Are you listening? I was thinking too.

No, yesterday's game. For this game? listening? I was thinking too. No, yesterday's game. For this game. What? You mean for today? For this chat we're having now? I was looking at something else. Stop sending an email for one second. And I just needed to pad to get off the list.

You're not good at padding, are you? You're not good at padding. For this game? Yeah. Wrong answers only. I'm shy, guys. Is the game. Wrong answers only.

Wrong answers only. Okay. Yes, bring on. Is the game. Wrong answers only. Wrong answers only. Okay. Yes, bring on. Basic trivia questions. Yes. But you can't tell me the right answer. That's right. Okay.

So rapid fire. That's the twist. Don't even. Don't even twist it. Is this quiz with a twist? So the idea is maybe to play with rice cookers. Yes. And if you can get through it, you win a great prize.

You win something. You might win something. Is it two against each other or is it just one on their own? Because, you know, you fight against each other. Yeah, as in going back and forth. Yeah. Yeah, could you do that? All right.

Do you want to try that version? Shall you and I pretend to be the rice cookers? Shock, I'm being Julie. Okay. Shock, I'm being Jeremy. Okay. All right Shock on being Julie. Okay, shock on being Jeremy. Okay. Julie and Jeremy. Julie and Jeremy going at it.

Hey, wait, so are Babs and Shy Guy us? Yeah, I guess so. All right, so Babs, you'll play me. Shy Guy, you'll play Ducco. Why did you get Babs? Hang on. I'm not, I'm not, no. He cannot represent me.

We're fine. He can be you. Hang on. Who's going to ask the question? So you, because you're me. You're a daco. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, you're just.

Babs, you're being both. Babs, you just go core. Are you okay? Babs to be the core line. Babs go core. Okay. So Julie and Jeremy are no longer playing. Wait, what?

I don't know. You're making this way harder than it needs to be. Okay, okay. Let's scrap all names. We were going to play the callers. Shy Guy missed that part. Now he wants Babs to go outside and be the caller. Let's pretend Jess and I are playing the calls.

We're both on the line. All right. And then Shy Guy, you can be for the namesake radio host. We don't need to give you another name. You can just be you. You're just Shy Guy. Babs, you just be here. Okay?

Okay. And now, so we're going to go one for one. One for one. First person to not get it wrong wins the prize. So let's say it starts with Jess. Yep. And it goes, Jess first, then you go to me, and we keep going. But you get what?

One second to answer. Yeah, a couple seconds. Yeah. Wrong answers only. Back and forth. Okay. Go. What color is the sky?

Purple. What does a tooth fairy do for work? Cleans teeth. She doesn't do that. She doesn't clean. That's wrong. You just said plumber. Okay.

I'm sorry. I don't know. Do we count that? I don't know. I think that's a wrong answer. She gives money to people. I think it's wrong. I think it's wrong.

Keep going. How many days in a week? 50. Toy story character? Jerry. What's next? One. Toy story character? Jerry. What's next? One, two, three. 11.

A song by Lady Gaga? Jumanji. I was going to say Poker Face. I was so close to saying it. I wouldn't get that normally. Good. I think Back and Forth is better because if you're just on your own, you get on a bit of a rip and tear.

You might get on a rip and tear. I tried this game out with my husband. I did beta testing in professional development time. Don't go, you'd be so proud of me. Great. And one of the questions I asked him was, what's your name? And he couldn't even come up with another name. Oh, where the mind goes.

Yeah. When, if Shy Guy is getting, I guess it'd be you and I. Yeah. But you, one of us asking the question to the two callers. Yeah. Whatever. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. You would, you'd absolutely get on a rhythm. Yeah. That hopefully your brain would go, just say four. Yeah, whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You would. You'd absolutely get on a rhythm. Yeah. That hopefully your brain would go, just say four. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or say your name. I think back and forth is better. I do like back and forth.

That's a great, yeah. How did that feel for you, Shago? Yeah, good. Yeah. Any notes? Were you listening? I could tell you were confused as to who was going next. I was just saying one.

Yeah, I know you were. Yeah. Yeah. That's okay. Good questions and good asking. We can do one with Babs and Shago questions and good asking. We have more questions. You've redeemed yourself. We can do one with Babs and Shaga versing each other if we have any questions.

Do you have any questions? Yep. Do you have a lift? You have your example ones. I do. All right. You get those and you can ask Babs and Shaga. I did steal one of them, the one, two, three.

That's okay. Games. Talk amongst yourselves in one second. Well, this will be exciting. But then we've got to have a good prize for them. I actually had the idea, Ducko, the opener could be the Whitney Houston song. It's not right, but it's okay. I'm going to make something, whatever the next line is.

I don't know that song. Okay. I've got the questions. See how good that padding was? Yeah, it was good whilst doing that. Thank you. I've got the questions ready. Shiger, you'll answer first.

Babs, you'll go next. You've only got half a second on the clock. Okay. Three, two, one. What is the opposite of day? Afternoon. What are the colours on the Australian flag? Green.

True or false, you can eat apples. False. Is fire hot? No. No. Don't answer that for me. So Shiger would be out there. Because the pressure, Shiger would be out. Even. Don't hit it for me. So, should I go be out there? Because the pressure should not go out.

Even that could be a part of it. But see, even like you guys were stressing a really simple true or false. Yeah. Because your brain goes, uh. Yes. It feels wrong. Because any, I reckon, half a second more we would have buzzed you out. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, it works. Maybe we could try it. Yeah, okay. Okay. Now, I'm just trying to think, if they get it wrong really quickly within the first two or three. Yes. Like, is that. The other person wins. That's just the game. That's just the game. Okay. Okay. Now, I'm just trying to think, if they get it wrong really quickly within the first two or three. Yes.

Like, is that? The other person wins. That's just the game. That's just the game. Okay. And then what happens if we get through 10 questions and neither of them have dropped the ball? Well, there's that too.

Yes. There is that too. We don't like to give everyone a prize. No. We're not the Walsification of the nation. No. Someone has to win. Maybe you only win if one of you fails.

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So if you both get it, then you both. Well, well done to you both. Yeah. Someone has to win. Maybe you only win if one of you fails. Okay, yeah. So if you both get it, then you both. Well, well done to you both. Yeah. Smarty pants. There is a few fraught with danger sort of things with this game, isn't there? There is. I.

Because I just think if we play with each other, we're going to get too good at it. And I was going to say, giving ourselves way too much credit, but I think we're in game mode. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Always. We're always ready. Yeah. Whereas maybe the average punter hasn't had a good night's sleep,

has done night shift, is, you know, got a lot on their plate. Yeah. Won't be as. As switched on. As switched on. Maybe. Yeah. What do we think?

Well, let's put it out to the rice cookers. You've heard it now. Slide into the DMs. Yeah, if you like it. What do you think? If you have any updates on it. If you've got any tweaks. Like yesterday's game cooked straight away and we went, oh yeah, this will work. You know when you now. Slide into the DMs. What do you think? If you have any updates on it. If you've got any tweets. Like yesterday's game cooked straight away and we went, oh yeah, this will work.

You know when you feel it, you can feel it. This one, I feel like it could work. This one feels lukewarm. Yeah, it's dependent on the people and it's dependent. Yeah, there's too many external factors. There are many external factors. Yeah, unless we did it, only we brought this out for various competitions or things we're running.

You know what I mean? Yeah, like the prize is X, Y, Z. Yeah. And this is the game attached. Yes. Something like that. That could always work. We can always have it in our back pocket.

Yep. How are you two feeling about it? Does it? So instead of callers versing each other, what if a caller versed? One of us. I just feel like that way. I think we're two in it though. But it's only one of you and that way we don't, if you both win, it doesn't matter.

Because if you win, there's no prize to the caller. If they win, they get the prize. I think we need a beta tester real life and get someone to play. I think we need to call some of our favorite rice cookers maybe and get them to play. On the show or in the podcast? No, no, on the podcast. This is still the beta testing phase. I don't think we're the right sample to test this game.

So tomorrow we get two rice cookers and we test them. We get a bunch of questions. I want you to call Fardy McGee from today. No, not her. If you want to play and you're listening, send us a message now. Love that. We'll call you tomorrow and you can play. Tomorrow after nine o'clock, we need two contestants to beta test this game.

Great. Tell you what, we'll give you a fridge magnet just for being involved. These things are... We've only got 500 of involved. These things are... We've only got 500 of them. These things are hot property. The depths of your generosity knows no bounds. Did you give the guy a fridge magnet today who I said?

I've got it down that I need to give him one. Okay, great. Because I said stay on the line. He didn't. He didn't want to. She's written it down to follow up. Yes. Mark is getting a fridge magnet.

I want him. I want to be man of my word. Yeah, nice. Let's try that tomorrow. Yep. You know, worse comes to worse. You walk away with a fridge magnet. That's it. I want to be a man of my word. Let's try that tomorrow. Yep. You know, worse comes to worse. You walk away with a fringe magnet. That's it.

That's all you can do. The game's faked. It's in your hands. Okay. But see, this is good brain testing. If we did this live on the air, it could be a train crash. Absolutely it would be. Yeah, we don't want that.

We love this for the podcast. Thank you very much for sticking with us. Yep. Enjoy the show. Jess and Ducko in the morning. Welcome to Wednesday. We're here. We're live. We're doing it in the morning. Welcome to Wednesday. We're here. We're live.

We're doing it. Good morning. I just saw on Instagram, Ducko, it's 2020 thrive. Oh, don't. No. No. We like that. We like it.

No. Not 2020 thrive. 2020 thrive. Give it a couple of months. Everybody get in the bin. 25. It's 25 trying to survive. That's not bad.

We're going to need to trademark that because that 100% will start going round. I'm giving it, what do you reckon, June, July? Maybe even earlier. It could be April. I didn't realise because I think we had such a fun 2024. Towards the back end of last year, gosh, I was seeing so many people talking about The trash fire that 2024 had been I did see that too

I was like I thought 2024 was pretty kind I mean, we'd kind of gotten out of the COVID years Yeah, 21 and 22, sorry Or 20, sorry, and 21 You could put a line through those And I remember those sentiments in, you know The September of those years

Yeah But a lot of people really not thriving in 2024 I wonder why. So let's turn a new leaf for 2025. We thrive. It's our first week back and we've had a great couple days. It's been good fun. It's been a lot of fun.

How about we make it either thrive or survive? Okay. All right. It's up to you. Your journey. We'll thrive for as long as we can. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then we'll switch into survival mode.

Yeah. Yeah. I'd say when my daughter comes in a couple months, I'll be in survival mode. You know? Are you just excited to see me jump into the ship with you? Truly. It's so funny. What was happening yesterday afternoon?

Oh, Lucia, my one-year-old, woke up on the wrong side of the bed from her nap. Sometimes she wakes up beaming and sometimes not. I guess like us. You know, if you oversleep, you feel like you've been hit by a truck. It hasn't recharged your batteries. It's depleted you somehow. Maybe that happened to her yesterday. And I got her out of the cot and she just marched up and down the corridor, just wailing. But no tears were coming.

She was just wailing. And my genuine first thought was, I can't wait for Darko to experience this. Can't wait for him to be in it. You just came to my mind. I didn't even tell you about it in the moment. That's funny. But in my mind, I went, ah, Darko's in for a treat. He's going to hate it.

For all the joy and the sweetness. All the parents keep telling me this. Comes those moments where you go, ah. Sucker. Sucker. You're in it now, idiot. One of us. Yeah, yeah.

One of us. It will be a bit like that. Absolutely. I know it will be. There's going to be so much thriving up until that point. I posted that the caddy golf set you got me that I can attach onto the golf clubs, my pram. Our mates at Baby Caddy were very keen to make sure you knew you can still golf with a pram. And take the clubs out.

And take the clubs. I posted it online and people were messaging like, good luck. Like my sister who's got four kids is like, not a chance. Yeah, but see, I think your sister has forgotten the newborn phase. All newborns do is sleep. We're just chilling, man. Sleep, cry, eat and poop. Yep.

Toddlers, all right, we'll reassess. But that's like 18 months down the track. They'll have a club in their hands by the time they're a toddler. Obviously, they're going to be pro. Hello. We've got a... Remember those videos of Tiger Woods sharing his little boy? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know, learning to play. And now he's on the circuit with his dad. I know, crazy. He's unbelievable. I'm not quite Tiger Woods, but I think, you know, I'll make sure she's pretty good. I mean, in this team, you are. She'll at least play off like a seven or something. Absolutely.

I can't wait for the day she's like, Daddy, should we go smack four? Yes, we shall, sweetheart. It's going to be a nice day. Let's go. I was thinking that yesterday. I was out there. I was like, can't wait till the day I can play smoke, kid. Hopefully they like it.

Morgan's already started going like, what sport can we get her into that makes lots of money? I'm like, okay, let's sit down and look at this. See, Angus and I are having the same conversations, but my issue is what's not a boring spectator sport? Well, that's what we were saying too. Because golf. I enjoy watching. She might not, but golf pays well if you do well.

Same with tennis. Yes. But then tennis also lonely. Very lonely. You know, I was like team sports. I was like, ah. I know. Team is more exciting, but even, you know,

we've got some soccer kids in our family and I'm a bit like, there's just not a lot of action. Soccer actually pays really ugh. I know. A team is more exciting, but even, you know, we've got some soccer kids in our family, and I'm a bit like, there's just not a lot of action. So soccer actually pays really well? It does if you get to those top echelons, but it's just, ah. And also, I'm presuming she's going to be a naturally pro athlete. Obviously. Obviously. Come on.

Obviously. Come on. And doesn't inherit your wife's bum knees and just dislocate her legs. And my shoulder. And your shoulder. She gets the perfect body of all of us. Surely that cancels each other out. I think so.

In genetics. I think so. But we're going for a big show today, team. Oh, sorry. Morning, Shia. Morning. Hi, Shia. How are you feeling?

Good. Great. You look a bit different today. Something's going on. Yeah. You look good. You feeling good? I feel good.

He's got a bit of an energy about him. Have you taken a straightener to your forehead or something? It does look... Are you seeing a shadow of a bruise? I was in the... I was doing a lot of gardening yesterday. Oh, a bit of dirt. You saw dirt on your forehead.

You washed your face? Did you have a shower? Maybe it's gel. Oh, yeah. It's on a... I hate it when... It's a hair product. Whenever I do have gel in for something and then it starts raining and then the gel, the

white, streaks down your forehead. Dripping down your face. It's probably hair gel. Maybe it's hair gel. Anyway, rocking the look. How are you, Babs? Good morning to you. Good morning.

Feeling good? I'm feeling good too. Excellent. Okay, good. The team's on fire. They are because something's back for 2025. Oh, my goodness. So there's an energy in the room.

There is. That's what it is. That's what it is. That's why the piping's out. Don't you reckon? Shy Guy Dips. Shy Guy Dips. That's what it is. That's what it is. That's why the piping's out. Don't you reckon? Shy Guy dips. Shy Guy dips! It's our favourite Wednesday game and you might be thinking

you exhausted all the biscuits last year. If you did miss it, Shy Guy would poorly describe a biscuit. If you guessed the biscuit, you won said packet of biscuits. We ended the year with $25,000 attached. Yes, we have exhausted the biscuit aisle, but thanks to the rice cookers, we've landed on something for 2025.

We've got something new. We've got something new. Shy Guy's ready to rock. Oh, yeah, he is. He's ready to rip it. He's fired up. He is. Give us a...

He would never normally do that. I know. That's all you get. Find out what it is and play at 7. Alphabucks, 10K, 6.30 and 8, still happening on the show, of course. Call of Fame. You can go to the Crown Plaza, Sydney, Dali Harbour. You can go to the aquarium.

You can go to the zoo. We're drawing that on Friday. Just get involved. Plenty of opportunities. But up next, saw this article, going viral. There's a basketballer in China who got suspended for doing something a bit naughty with his girlfriend. He's taking us back to China. Twice in a week.

I'm bringing lots of Peking Duck here. Have you got more China facts for us? You said you were going to brush up on them. Nazi Goring, not Chinese. That's right, Indonesia. Throw back to Monday's show. We're ducking over to China next. I love that.

Great way to start the day. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. It's going to be back in China again. I love that. Great way to start the day. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. It's going to be back in China again. Two times. Peaking ducking over to it. Oh, you did that? But this is not for a good story, Jess.

Oh, my apologies. Let's bring the mood down. There's a young basketball star. He plays in their school system, but he's quite high up. This school goes on tours and stuff like that. He's basically on a full scholarship for basketball. Wow. Isn't it so funny?

Because you see so much about American college ball. I didn't realise other countries, you know, that's where their system comes from too. Huge in Europe and China. They love basketball. Yao Ming, remember Yao Ming? One of the tallest basketball players ever. He was like seven foot something. Yeah, huge.

Chinese guy. I saw his wax figure the other day. It made him two swords. Oh my God, it's like two of you. I was below his groin. Below it. That's how tall he was. He needed a step ladder just to get to the groin.

Oh my God. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway. Quick, quick facts. Is Yao Ming married or coupled up? Because I'd love to know the height of the partner. Oh, his partner, yeah. I'm always curious just logistically how stuff like that works.

I'm also trying to see how Shy Guy spells Yao Ming. Correctly. Y-A-O-M-I-N-G. Okay, go, go. He's 2.29 metres. God damn. And does he have a partner? He's a big boy.

Yao Ming marry, wife? Yeah. Because he used to play for the Houston Rockets in the NBA. Okay. He doesn't anymore. Where does he play? Oh, he's retired now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He was around a while ago. Wow. But one of the tallest players ever to play the game. God damn. He around a while ago. But one of the tallest players ever to play the game. Goddamn. He's a big boy. Isn't it so funny? Because as a collective, if you did the average height,

he'd be an outlier to the nth degree. I can't find anything regarding a partner. No, okay, fair enough. Maybe he's pregnant. I feel like people that big die young. No, I think that is genuinely the thing. Absolutely. The heart has to work harder.

Over time. Yes. His toes must be going, we're getting no blood supply. What's happening down here? So for him to be a professional athlete. I think that is genuinely the thing. Absolutely. The heart has to work harder. Over time. Yes. Anyway. His toes must be going, we're getting no blood supply. What's happening down here? So for him to be a professional athlete. He's so far, his toes are so far away from his head. 100%. Mine toes are in my head.

They're good friends. But his toes. His brain, does his brain even know there's toes on the end of that body? I guess not. You'd be forgiven. It's like us with Tasmania. We forget. We forget it's there.

Because we're such a big nation. It's the same thing. Oh, he is married. Oh, he's married. Here we're such a big nation. It's the same thing. Oh, he is married. Oh, he's married. Here we go. Yi Li. And how tall is Yi Li? Oh, yeah, we're going to give you how tall Yi Li is.

1.9. And what was he? 2.7. 1.9 is still tall, isn't it? I think it is. 1.29, he is. Yeah, she's tall. She's tall, but still, that's coming up to what?

Nipples. It's rare to find someone that tall. Yeah, particularly ladies. But we're not discussing Yao anymore. No, no, sorry. Oh, yeah, she's coming up to what? Nipples. It's rare to find someone that tall. Yeah, particularly ladies. There you go. But we're not discussing Yao anymore. No, no, sorry. Oh, yeah, she's tall. Oh, gosh.

Shoulder height. Shoulder height. God damn, she must be huge. Considering I was waist height. She's a tall lady. She is tall. He's found, you know. Because, you know, it all lines up in bed, but I'm just saying.

Yeah, yeah. It's hard. She's also a basketball player. Oh, there you go. That makes sense. He could have had more fun. God, we've learned a lot in these two minutes. I haven't even said the story I was going to say.

Zhang Xingzi. I definitely butchered that. Who's that? This is the current player, Zhang. Oh, that's who we're talking about. The college player. He plays for the Guzangu Long Lions, which is a team from southern China. Obviously, let's just push over my pronunciations.

Okay. You're giving it a go. That's all we can ask. Guggenzo. I reckon it's Guangzhou. Holy hell. I reckon it is. Have you been there?

Yes. I was going to say, how did you know that? When I was a tight-ass student. Guangzhou. When I flew. Is there a Z in there? Yes. Okay, yep.

We got it. When I flew to Europe on China Southern Airlines. Oh, wow, that's a high risk. It was cheap. It was not good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stopped in Guangzhou for 12 hours. So you've been to the airport.

I should have paid more. Please tell me you had some Peking duck. Better flight. Nah, man, I think I had like whatever the Asian McDonald's is with some fast food. Play it safe. Anyway, okay, that's so funny. We're in Guangzhou. The Guangzhou Lions. This is the team from Southern China's province. Yes. That's so funny. We're in Guangzhou. The Guangzhou Lions.

This is the team from southern China's province. Yes. That's so funny that you've been there. Yeah, it's hilarious. Said that Zhang has violated team's management rules when they were on tour the night before a game because remember, he's still in school, so they've still got schoolwork to do.

Sure. When Zhang smuggled his girlfriend in his suitcase because Zhang's a tall basketball player. Pardon moi. All consensual smuggling. She's obviously a tiny little lady. She's not like Yee Lee. She's a bit small and

Yee Lee. She's done some contortionism. Gotten into his Samsonite. Into his suitcase. She smuggled him in. He smuggled her in, sorry. And then when they found out that she's there. On the team bus? Or on a plane? It doesn't say. It must be a bus. So she's gone on the bus and then gone to found out that she's there. Wait, like on the team bus? Or on a plane? It doesn't say. It must be a bus. So she's gone on the

bus and then gone to the hotel and he's got her out. And then she's posted photos on her social media of her curling up, smiling in the suitcase. And the coach has seen it. And then of him and her together and then they found out they've got in trouble and he's gone, oh, she was just here. How's this excuse? This is one of the great teenage boy excuses

to help me do my English homework. Oh, I love that. I smuggled her in. She's tutoring me. Yeah, she's tutoring me. I smuggled her in just for the English, Mum. You know how it is. Oh, my.

And then the team played, the Lions played against the Eagles the next day, the Quingdaw Eagles, and they lost 103 to 90. They got pumped. No, probably because Yang was, you know, exhausted. Yang had a bad, he had a bad game too. Because he had.

Turnovers and they had four points. Wasn't well rested. And they've now. Too much homework. You know, way too much study. Now, you know what Chinese are like. They're sort of getting angry at him saying he's done this. And he's had to come out and make public apologies.

The girlfriend's had to delete her social media posts. It's traveled to mainland media. Oh my God. They're up in arms. I know, we're talking about it here. I know. They're up in arms. This kid may have derailed about it here. I know. They're up in arms. This kid may have derailed his whole career.

I know. He might have been the rising star. He could have been the next Yao Ming. And now, all for a little bit of hanky-panky. All for a little, yeah. I mean, you've got to think of your head. Sorry, English homework. English homework.

English homework. English homework. Good one, though. Oh, wow. I know. But also, from the girlfriend. Come on. You know you're doing the, you're putting it on Instagram.

You're jumping out of someone's suitcase. That's impressive that she lasted that long in the suitcase. Come on. You know you're doing the right. You're putting it on Instagram. You're jumping into someone's suitcase. That's impressive that she lasted that long in the suitcase. That's love. That's true love. That's, yeah. When they get married, that's celebrant. They'll be dining out on that story.

You reckon they're getting married? They're going to make it past this? Hopefully they can make it past this time. Hopefully. I hope so. You know. But yeah, that celebrant will be doing that. Diamonds are forged under pressure, Ducco. That's so true.

Like their relationship may come out the other side. Jess and Ducko. Quickly, Ducko, you know me. My bar is so high. It takes a lot to impress me. A lot. But ride share app Didi has done just that. Is Didi still kicking it?

Didi is kicking it. And they've got locations and drivers, I should say, all over regional New South Wales. I just don't. I mean, it's bad. I just don't use anything other than Uber because, you know, I should branch out. Let me convert you because you're absolutely right.

When we talk about rideshare space, Uber has eclipsed everyone, including the traditional cab. Uber's like the rideshare Netflix. They absolutely. It just has the name now. They have the name. But I would even argue there's no one who's really a Stan or a Paramount. Everyone sort of falls really far behind.

Uber dominates in this space, which is why I'm surprised they didn't think of this first. Okay. Whoever is working a DD HQ, they deserve a pay rise. Right. Because how's this for an idea? We know that Australian drinking culture and party culture, yes, it can get out of hand sometimes, and there's a big government push about what's your plan B?

There's pushes from pubs and clubs themselves being like, don't drink and drive, don't be an idiot. Courtesy buses are a real big thing here. We try and look after it. Some of the pubs have the thing where you can breathalyze yourself in. Absolutely. In the corner, you get that little straw thing. We try to do our best.

And then you just try and see who's the drunkest out of your friends. Yes, yes. That's what it becomes. People are still idiots and people still make poor choices. Yes. Dee Dee is trying to help in that space regardless. Okay. Because if you've driven and you think, I'm just going to have one Chardonnay, but then

you get carried away, you might be thinking, my freaking car. It's never just one Chardy. It's never one Chardy. Hang on, I'm catching up with me mate Carly. What was I thinking? It's just going to be one Chardonnay. It's a bottle or two. We're going to get the bottle.

Yeah. But my car, my bloody car, now that's a headache for tomorrow. How am I going to get back to the car? I'm going to have to get my partner, my friend, my colleague involved. This is where DD comes into play. On the app now, instead of booking a ride share where you pop in the back seat and get taken home, you can order a tow truck. What?

So you get in the cab of the tow truck and the tow truck driver takes your car home for you as well. Really? So you don't have to work it out the next day or whatever during the week. You can also get your car home safely without you being behind the wheel. Is this just like, is it a proper tow truck? Or is this just someone rolling in with their car and like putting on a little crane and getting you up and it's just like going on the back wheels.

They've bought 10 tow trucks. Seriously? They are branded DD tow trucks. That is genius. How smart is that? I wonder what they charge, though. Now, that's a great question. Sure, it's more expensive.

Download the app. Quickly try and book a tow truck. Yeah, Shai, book a tow truck right now. Now, obviously, it's like us. They're in the pilot week of it. They're in the beta testing phase. It's a good idea. So there are only 10 around the country.

I'm not sure where those 10 are located. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah. So Shai Guy might have trouble. It's probably good idea. So there are only 10 around the country. I'm not sure where those 10 are located. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah. So Shy Guy might have trouble. He's probably only in certain capital cities. Might be in just capital cities at the moment. However, big drinking culture in the region. Obviously. You never know.

Make great money out here. But how clever is that? And I wonder, was it a mate, you know, a tow truck driver mate who's got a friend who works at DD and he's complaining, you know, work. It's few and far between. People aren't breaking down with all these smart vehicles and even hybrid vehicles. People aren't breaking down as much. I'm really feeling the pinch. Oh, I see.

And the DD HQ guy's gone, wait a minute. You've got some spare time. There's a problem with people needing to get their cars home because they've had too much to drink. Why don't we combine forces? Bit of a hope and a prayer, though. If you just linger around at night time between sort of midnight and 4 a.m. Could you just be on call for 24 hours a day? Someone will get you.

Someone will get your tow truck. You will have work for the night. I just looked it up. It's similar pricing to the regular service, so just a tiny bit more. It can't be. But there's only a fair few available, so it's just a tiny bit more. It can't be. But there's only a fair few available, so it's more of if you can get the booking. Sure. But the price

would be similar to a regular service. Imagine how much fun that would be, being like not only am I drunk, I'm going to go on a tow truck where they're going to take my car, and I'm not getting fined. My car's not getting towed away because it's broken. It's a win-win-win on so many. I just think it's brilliant. So, well done. Like, it'll be 10 seconds before Uber

now has tow trucks. Uber tow trucks. But I want it known. DD thought of it first and I just think it's genius. Geez, I want to get the app now just to try and get a tow truck. Just to try and get a tow truck. I'm not even drunk. Yeah. Jess and Ducko's 10K Alpha Bucks on hit. You have 30 seconds to answer 10 questions,

all starting with the same letter. We have to take your first answer. You can't use the same answer twice. And if you're unsure of the question, simply say pass and we come back to you if there is time. We've only got five. That's our best result of the year so far. But the tides are about to turn because we have Alicia.

Good morning, Alicia. Good morning. How are you going? Alicia. Good morning, Alicia. Good morning. How are you going? Alicia, look, we're good for now. But when you win $10,000 in, you know, just over 30 seconds time, we'll be even better. Oh, yeah. I'm so nervous.

I'm so nervous. I don't know if I can. I always think that I can answer these questions. But right now I'm shaking like a leech. Don't be nervous, Alicia. It's just us having a chat, having a good time. You and your pals, Jess and Ducker. Nothing to be nervous about.

How do you normally go when you play by yourself at home or in the car? Well, I think I play good, but I don't think I'm going to today because I feel really nervous. Deep breath. Clench. Unclench. Let's release. Release all the clenching. That's right. Yeah, no more clenching. No more clenching. Don't clench for too long. You're, unclench. Let's release. Release all the clenching. That's right.

Yeah, no more clenching. No more clenching. Don't clench for too long, you're going to cramp. Alicia, what do you want to spend the $10,000 on? I want to buy a new car. So my car's broken and it's too expensive to get fixed. So I just would like to, yeah, buy another car. Alicia, this is a great omen for your girlfriend.

The letter you're going to work with is C. Can't write this down. It's C for car. Okay, okay. Okay. She's not as excited about that as I thought she would be. Oh, no, no. I'm just nervous.

I'm like, okay, C. And then I thought cat. And then I'm thinking all these words starting with C. Good, good. She's already thinking C words. C words. But there's only one C word you're not allowed to say. Yeah, no worries.

I don't like it anyway. Good. Good joke. See words. But there's only one see word you're not allowed to say. You have no worries. I don't like it anyway. Good joke. But now you've put it in her head. She's classy, man. She might say it. No, no, no, no. Alicia's built different. She's not like that.

She's built different. She's about to walk away with a new car. Yeah, sounds good. All right. Your time will start after the first question. Alicia, you ready? No. Okay, well.

Are we ever ready? Let's go again. Are you ready, Alicia? are you ready? No. Okay, well. Are we ever ready? Let's go again. Are you ready, Alicia? Are you ready, Alicia? Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Starting with the letter C. We need you to name something you'd find in your kitchen cupboard.

Cake mix. An instrument. Puff. A Marvel actor. Catwoman. A Marvel actor. A catwoman? A fashion brand. Um, pass. A spice?

Cinnamon. An insect. Um, caterpillar. A body part? Um, pass. A piece of furniture. Chair. A boy of furniture. Chair. A boy's name.

Charlie. A board game. No. What the hell? Oh, my God. We got ourselves five. Oh, I thought I'd try and beat your record for so far today. Oh, my God.

Well, if you'd said a Marvel actor instead of Catwoman, you would have. Yeah, you said a character. A character. And she's DC, I think, Catwoman. That's two strikes, Alicia. Well, look at Chris Hemsworth. Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.

Oh, my God. Hey, it happens. Oh, God, any of the Chris's. Aren't they all in the Marvel universe? Yeah, Chris Evans, Chris Pratt. Oh, is that Body Part? What's a body? Chin.

Yeah, chin. Oh, chin. Oh, my God. You jumped to Body Part. Okay, instrument was clarinet. Body Part could have been chin. And then a board game could have been one of the greats, Cluedo. Oh, my God. You jumped to body part. The instrument was clarinet. Body part could have been chin. And then a board game could have been one of the greats, Cluedo. Or Shy Guy's favorite, Checkers.

Anyway, Alicia. Fashion brand, Chanel. Oh, wait. It's all you. Hey, Alicia, I think you'll enjoy this. You don't get away empty-handed, though. You get $100 to spend at Minx Erotic Boutique. Minx.com.au.

That is all yours. Oh, my God. Thank you. You're very welcome. That's all yours, you know. I'll give you another C word. Curse it, Jess and Ducko. Wow, thank you.

You are welcome, Alicia. You can thank the duck man for that. Oh, my God. Well, good luck, Ducko, with the baby coming. Make sure you take photos of Morgan. Let's not go. Let's not go from Minx Erotic Boutique to my child. Alicia, what do you mean?

What do you mean take photos of Morgan in the birth? No, no. Like when mums have got new babies, it's always mum taking photos. Make sure you take photos of mum. Good tip, Alicia. Thank you. That's a lovely tip. That is a good tip.

I will do that. Thank you. I appreciate that. I appreciate your support. And good luck with your new little furry friend. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Thanks so much.

All right, we're out of here. Bye, Alicia. Thanks, Alicia. What's the worst mistake you've ever made? Now, this probably will lend itself to work because that's where the discussion came where I first had this. Sure. We were chatting over the break period with the in-laws and stuff, and, you know, my father-in-law, he can be, he's a great guy,

but he can be rigid, you know? Yeah. And I was trying to loosen him up, and I said, what's the worst mistake you've ever made at work? Because he's an endodontist. Now, endodontist, he's... Now, what's the difference between an endodontist and a dentist? He doesn't do fillings.

He does root canals and crowns. Oh, he's a big boy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, this is beyond braces and... Yeah, he's... Some plaque. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, this is beyond braces and some plaque buildup. Wait, no. Is he an endodontist? How long have you been in this family? No, yeah, sorry.

Orthodontist does braces. Endodontist does root canals. Yeah, I've got that right. Sorry for all my endodontic friends out there. Obviously, I care so much. He was too, because I was like, what did you do? He's like, oh, I don't know, nothing. I was like, no, what have you done?

Like, for example, on radio, I've swore. Was he getting a bit too big for his boots over Christmas? You're like, I've got to knock this guy down a peg. I just love bringing, because you know me, I'm a bit obscure and random with conversation. I love giving him weird thoughts and thought starters. Absolutely. And he should know that about you by now. Yeah, he does.

But it probably still takes him by surprise. He loves it though. Like, is it, you know. So, for example, I said, I've sworn on radio and had to dump myself. Yes. About a few things. And not dumped yourself a couple of times. And also not dumped myself.

I hold the dump button. We live 10 seconds ahead of the audience listening. I've had to do it three times. One of the times I didn't dump myself. That's right. And it went out. That's right. Things like that.

Like, you know, my sister, when she used to work at Cold Rock Ice Creamery back in the day when they were pumping, she melted the entire Cold Rock. The hot, like everything. Yep. She turned off the freezer. Yep, she turned off the wrong switch. They came in the next day, she was last on there, and the whole Cold Rock had melted.

There was no ice cream. Oh, my God, it would have been a river of ice cream. It was, yep. I don't even know if she lost her job. I feel like that's worse than you swearing on air. Yeah, absolutely. A bit of an F-bomb on air. Whatever.

That's gentle. Happens to the best of us. He was saying, because he does root canals and stuff, now that's surgery that goes for like an hour, you know, it's pretty intrusive, whatever. He did a full root canal. He was drilling in, done it all, finish it as he's filling it, whatever it is.

He's looked on and realised that he's done the wrong tooth. He looked down and realised. This is like those stories where you hear they amputated the wrong tooth. He looked down and realised. This is like those stories where you hear they amputated the wrong leg. Yes, exactly. I thought they were urban myths. And like, it can happen. It's just human error. And this is the thing, when it comes to amputating a leg,

that's a big error. But you know, you've got the left or the right. He's working with 28 plus teeth. But he's... And the dental assistant hasn't realised. No one's realised. They've just done it. And he's done the whole thing. No one's correcting Ward, I imagine. No, I don't think so. Dr. Yep. But he's. He's somehow. And the dental assistant hasn't realized. No one's realized. They've just done it. And he's done the whole thing.

No one's correcting Ward, I imagine. No, I don't think so. No, you're not correcting him. I don't think anyone's tapping him on the shoulder. Oh, goodness me. The new dental hygienist being like, hey, are you using the right one? He'd probably say he was if he wasn't. Exactly.

So he'd realize it after. And I said, what did you do? Did you tell him in that moment? Because if that was me and I was a patient, I would rather you not tell me and then just go flip to the other tooth. And just keep going? And tell me at the end because if you told me halfway and I'd gotten through that hour, I'd be so off it.

I've heard root canal is one of the most excruciating things because obviously you numb the area and everything. You're not feeling the pain, but it's just- It's drilled- It's intrusive. In your mouth. Yes. Into your gum.

Yes. I think he had to tell them straight away because he's pretty honest. And then he was like, I'm sorry, we've made a mistake. We have done the wrong tooth. I'm actually going to do the one over. So now they've got two root canals. In one tooth they didn't need it. And the other one they needed.

He obviously didn't charge them. It was all free. I was about to say, does he charge by the hour? No. Because he just tried to give himself some more work. Obviously I'm still going to charge you for the one I did do. It's like when I got my back tat and passed out and the guy charged me per hour and I was there for like quadruple the amount of time I went.

I was asleep for seven hours. That's so rude. You can't do that. Anyway, I couldn't believe it. And you hear of these mistakes in people with good and, you know, honest professions. Yes. But I didn't know they actually existed. Mate, we're just humans.

We're just humans. Human error. Not that I think that's a cause to now go to robotics and AI doing anything in that space. I should say this was years ago. It's only ever happened once. But like. Oh, you don't make that mistake twice. No.

No, he's learned from it since. You learn from that. I could tell he was like embarrassed telling us a story. But I was like, oh, that's juicy. Oh, 131060, if you are willing to be honest like Ward, what's the biggest mistake you make? But I'll take people dobbing people in. 100%.

What's the biggest mistake they made? Absolutely. Oh, that'sbing people in. 100%. What's the biggest mistake they made? Absolutely. Oh, that's fantastic. Whitney's called in. Whitney, you made a mistake at work? Yeah, I used to work in a nightclub, and it was New Year's Eve. It was one of my first few shifts. And anyone that knows hospitality knows that when you smash glass into an ice,

where you get the ice from, you have to wait, clear it all out. Of course. So I did that. Mistakenly, five minutes later, I did it to the other ice tray and we couldn't serve any alcohol at about 20 to 12 on New Year's Eve for about roughly close to half an hour. And all the drunk patrons wouldn't have understood that. Yeah, I almost caused a riot on New Year's Eve in the nightclub.

Oh, that is so bad. How much longer did you last working at that nightclub in the new year? I mean, I think I made up for it. So I was there for another three months. I left on my own accord. I wasn't fired. But yeah, it was hard to show my face for the next week. That's a great one.

That's so embarrassing. Love your honesty, though. We're being biggest mistake you've made. Thank you very much. That'd be so tough. That's great. That'd Oh, that's so embarrassing. Love your honesty, though. We hate the biggest mistake you've made. Thank you very much. That'd be so tough. That's great. That'd be so tough. All right, 131060, worst mistake you've ever made.

Can you top it? These are juicy. You can also text in 0488881069. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. 131060, we're talking the worst mistakes you ever made. They're pretty much lending themselves to work things. Your father-in-law with a great admission.

Yeah. He's an endodontist. So he does the root canals and all that sort of stuff. And he essentially, he did the root canal on the wrong tooth. Which is already like an hour process. Yeah. And then he had to tap the patient on the shoulder being like, hey, we're not done. My bad.

But that tooth, the first tooth I've worked on is now going to be for the rest of your life. You got that for good. He realised after he'd done it too, after the hour was up. I wish I knew more about what a root canal involved because surely you get into it and then go, there's nothing here to fix. This is the wrong one. I know.

I've never had one, but they're pretty intrusive and they do go for a while. Again, it's just human error. It's human error. You just slip into it. Let's go to Sophie. Good morning, Soph. Wait, wait, wait.

Riley called and said, thanks for making him nervous for his root canal surgery today. I want to stress, this was years ago. It was rare. Riley. Sorry. Just make sure you start. Have you highlighted the right tooth? It's this tooth.

Maybe go in with a post-it note being like, it's this. Well, it's like when people get surgery on limbs, they've got to ride on the limb. They do. That happens more often than not. Not this leg. Yes, yes. This leg. Let's go to Sophie.

Good morning, Soph. Good morning. How are you? Yeah, wonderful. Thanks, babe. What's the biggest mistake you've ever made? I used to work like in RSL clubs and stuff like that. I used to be on the bar predominantly,

but I had to fill in in the cashier. It was a Christmas day. I'm horribly dyslexic and this woman won $3,500 and I gave her $5,300. Oh, wow. She is praising your name, Sophie. I did that twice in one night. I gave someone $260 and I gave him $620. I'm with you, Soph. I'm the same. I would be doing similar stuff.

Did you get in trouble or what happened? Yeah. Oh, look, the fella, my boss, he felt really bad. He's like, look, if you only did it once in one shift, I probably could keep you, but you did it twice. Oh, numbers. It's tough. Oh, no.

And had they walked away at this point? Like you didn't recover the money. They just. No, no, no. they walked away at this point? Like, you didn't recover the money. They just... No, no. No, God. This was a couple of days after. They were going through the security footage, and they could see me counting it out. It was terrible.

Oh, that's a tough one. Those people are... They're loving it. You're their favorite person. Yeah, yeah. We've got Amy on 131060. Worst mistake you ever made, Amy. Good morning.

Yeah. So, I was a manager at a restaurant and we had a surprise birthday party in our function room so the partner came in early showed us a photo of the birthday girl said that he was the only one that was coming in with the birthday girl to surprise her it's been perfectly planned the whole time um and yeah so I decided to wait by the door for her to come in she arrived with her partner and another bloke. So I walked up to the partner. I said, is this her?

And he didn't misheard me and said no. I said, oh, thank goodness. I'm so sorry. Like, I've just been so nervous. The party's at the back. And as I was saying that, he's like, no, no, no, no, no. It's her. It's her.

I was like, oh, I felt terrible. And it was so awkward the whole night. I just avoided the party. You have to. You'd have to. Oh, you had such good intentions. Oh, thank you for that. Darren, good morning to you.

Yeah, morning, crew. Darren. Dazza. What's the biggest mistake you've ever made? Yeah, well, I was an apprentice butcher, and I had a cut on my finger, so I actually put a beer date on there, and it was my turn to mix up a batch of sausages. Yes.

By the time I got to the end of mixing, the Band-Aid had gone into the sausage meat. So I ran all the sausages out and hopefully trying to find where my Band-Aid was and to this day, I've never found it. Oh, no. Darren, so they went out for sale. You didn't just turf them all. Someone's got those. Keith's sitting down having his bangers and mash with the courtesy of Darren's.

Darren, when you say you were an apprentice butcher at the time, did you stay with the trade or did you go, maybe butchery's not for me? No, I stayed with the trade for 12 years and then got out. The boss has never found out. Everyone in this fair region's eaten a bit of Darren. It would be so common, that stuff. Like, so common.

And, I mean, it's already sausage. Oh, man. What is it? Oh, that's great. Thanks, Darren. It would be so common, that stuff. Like so common. And I mean, it's already sausage. Oh man, what is it? Oh, that's great. Thanks Darren. Thanks for sharing. Let's finish up with Lacey here on 131060. Lacey, the worst mistake you ever made. I used to work at one of the big four banks and I had a customer come in that wanted to deposit a $100,000 check and I accidentally deposited it into the customer's account. And then the original customer come back a week later and he's like, oh, that money hasn't hit my account yet. And we had to go through and we found out that it was in the wrong person's account and we had to call them up and ask them if they still had the money.

And they're like, I noticed I had an extra $100,000 in my bank and they just let it sit there for a week and then we recovered the money back. Oh, you got to recover it. Because you can't, I guess, get into their account and just suck it sit there for a week and then we recovered the money back. Oh, you got to recover it. Because you can't, I guess, get into their account and just suck it back up. No, we're not allowed to do that. They would have had to transfer it out? Yes, if they would have transferred it out

and they spent the money, then they would have had to go through a legal process to get it back. But the customer was really honest and was happy for it. So can you explain to me, Lacey, that customer who ended up with the $100,000, if they had gone and spent it, if they had gone and bought a car, is that technically illegal or they've got $100,000 from the bank

and they could have potentially done whatever they wanted with it? Well, it is technically illegal because it's not their money, if that makes sense, because they knew that they weren't, like, $100,000 rich. Fair, fair. Anonymous donation. They were like, geez, I want knew that they weren't like $100,000 richer. Fair, fair. They were like, geez, I want to be a car. I love how they just sat on it. I noticed that extra $100,000.

I just thought my job had made a mistake. I'll just wait a week and see. Yeah, they just let it sit there. Yeah, I know. I was so amazed. Wow. Brilliant. See, human error, everyone.

Human error. See, I thought we were going to get people dobbing other people in, but that was all very honest rice cookers going, no, no, I've stuffed up. That's great. Jess and Ducko. I reckon producer Shy Guy's having a glass of milk. Glass of milk and a little biscuit, aren't you?

My milk, my milk, my milk. Shy Guy dips. I'm so excited to be in the biscuit. This is and was everyone's favourite game, everyone's favourite Bicky game. However, we've run out of biscuits last year. If you missed it, you needed to show our guys bad at explaining things. That's right.

And each week he would bring a packet of biscuits to the table and through a series of clues give you the chance to guess what those biscuits were. For the whole year, you walked away with a packet of those biscuits, if you guessed correctly. To the back end of the year, we attached $25,000 to the game. It was huge. It was huge. It was huge.

It was a big game. But we certainly exhausted aisle four of Woolworths. Yeah, we ran out of biscuits. We ran out of biscuits. Aren't sponsored us then. Didn't sponsor us. It was a whole thing. It was a whole thing.

So we really wanted to bring the game back. Yeah, it's fun. So we asked the rice cookers on our Instagram, Jess and Ducko, what should Shy Guy dip for 2025? Had some great suggestions, Ducko. Meg's wanted to see ice cream. Oh, yes. That offered a conundrum with getting you then the ice cream.

It would melt. Because obviously when you win, you know, we send it to you. That would be hard. Karen wanted to see cheese. I mean, again, with dairy, that might have been difficult. I like this one from Maddie. She said lollies. Lollies is a good one.

Lollies is good. We're going to keep that in our back pocket. Look, Blondie wanted to see alcohol. And that would have maybe seen Shy Guy get drunk every Wednesday. It's hard for kids to get involved. That's hard. But what if you people, or someone said salad dressings, which maybe we circle back to.

It's always Dick, isn't it? What's his name? Dick Smith? Yes. Come on. What's his name? I think it's Paul Newman. Dick Smith is the electronics guy.

He has brands. I thought Dick Smith did a salad dressing. He might not. Maybe I'm thinking Paul Newman, the face on the salad. We've had this chat before. Just a sentence. It's always Dick. Dick Smith.

Richard. Obviously. Richard. Richard. You want chocolate dipped? Sorry, I wasn't with you. I'm with you. Get my brands confused. Please tell me to.

Dick Smith, you're dressing. I think that's just. I've made a poo-poo. Yeah, I've made a poo-poo. Anyway. Enough about that. What are we doing? We had multiple people say cereal.

They want to see cereal. Sophia said cereal. Alana has said cereal. Renee wanted cereal. Beck wanted cereal. They want to see cereal. Sophia said cereal. Alana has said cereal. Renee wanted cereal. Beck wanted cereal. Eliza said cereal. Someone said dog breed. No, we can't do cereal.

We're going to send you a shit too. We can't do that. How is he meant to dip a dog breed? Make up being too literal. We're doing cereals. And it's so... Yesterday we talked about Weepix. People are passionate about their cereals.

We love it. So how great for 2025. We're dipping cereals, guys. Yep. Thank you for all the suggestions. So if you win today, we've got one today, 13, 10, 60, always need first cab off the run. You'll get two clues, but you win a packet of cereal and a fridge magnet.

It is an iPad-sized fridge magnet. You should see this thing. I'm so excited it's back. Me too. I'm really feeling it for cereal. Yeah. Show our guy. Clue number one for 2025.

Clue number one is it's sticky. Okay. Are you still talking dicks, Mip? No, I'm not. 13, 10, 6, 8. Let's go. Shy Guy Dips is back and so are we. And so is the Shag.

Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. I reckon producer Shy Guy's having a glass of milk. Glass of milk and a little biscuit, aren't you? My milk, my milk, my milk. Shy Guy Dips. I'm so excited to be the Dips. We're back live for 2020 Thrive, and so is Shy Guy Dips.

Oh, yeah. Shy Guy is terrible at explaining things. He's got many skills. Yeah. But clues is not one of them. Yeah. This year we've landed on cereals as our new item with which he has to describe. The Rice Cooker selected it.

We put a poll up on our Instagram, Jess and Darko, and they went with this, and I love it. Because I was in the cereal aisle yesterday. I sent you all photos. Yes, it is plentiful. So many. It almost rivals the biscuit aisle. It does. There's a lot in there. There's a lot there. I reckon it's going to see us through to the year. Yep. But for the first cereal of 2025, we've heard

it's sticky. Oh! What a clue! And Mark was very quick on the phone. Hello, Mark. How are you guys? Good, Mark. Happy New Year. Happy, what a clue. And Mark was very quick on the phone. Hello, Mark. How are you guys? Happy New Year. Happy New Year, brother. You get a supplementary clue being the first caller. It's sticky.

What else is it, Shy Guy? It's got a curve on it. Oh, okay. On the individual, on the thing that you eat. Correct. Okay. Mark, sticky with a curve. It's sticky and curvy.

Sticky and curvy. Well, I had the idea of crunchy nuts. Oh. Yeah, because they're sticky. I love crunchy nuts. But are they curvy? Could be. Do you want to lock that in, Mark, or are you pivoting?

Yeah, let's stick with that. Crunchy nut? Unfortunately not crunchy nut. It's not, but hey, you were the first guess of 25, Mark. Let's give Mark a fridge magnet stick with that. Crunchy Nut? Unfortunately not Crunchy Nut. No, it's not. But hey, you were the first guess of 25, Mark. Let's give Mark a fridge magnet just for that. I think he deserves that. Sure.

Mark gets a fridge magnet. You hold the line, Mark. Don't go anywhere. It's $13.60 if you want another. That's a great supplementary prize. Thank you. Some people want a silver medal. No, no, no.

You want the fridge magnet. Ash, hello. Hi. Hi. It's sticky. It's the fridge magnet. Ash, hello. Hi. Hi. It's sticky. It's curvy. Another clue for Ash. They're oval shaped.

Hmm. Okay, I was thinking Sultana brand clusters. Oh, have we gone a cluster for the first cereal of 2025? Obscure. But no, it's not that. It's not a Sultana brand cluster. I haven't had Sultana brand in years. I don't think Sultana brand clusters are curvy.

I don't know. It's hard. What's curvy in Shy Guy's world, you know? You're so right. It's about speaking Shy Guyanese. Exactly. Chloe, good morning. Good morning.

How are you? We are fantastic. It's sticky. It's curvy. It's sticky. It's curvy. It's oval. It's brown. Oh, brown? Is it?

How would you describe it? I'll throw one at you. Okay. It just fell onto its head. It's stuck to my finger. It doesn't fly. It's Eddie's sticky. Oh, yeah.

I mean. What color would you say that is? Pooh color, yeah. Glowy. What is it? Pooh brown. Nutri-Grain? Oh, they are sticky. They are curvy. They Poo colour, yeah, brown. Chloe. What is it? Poo brown. Nutri-Grain? Ooh.

They are sticky, they are curvy, they are oval, and they are brown. Similar colour, though, but not it. Chloe, that's a great guess. We go to Erin on 131060. Good morning, Erin. Good morning. It's sticky, curvy, oval, brown. It comes in a green box.

The Milo cereal. Yay! Yay! Erin, you are our first winner of Shy Guy Dips Cereal Edition 2025. Thank you. Congratulations, Erin. At what point did you know it? Did you know it?

It's sticky. The sticky and the curvy. I like cereal. So Milo cereal is also my wife's holiday cereal. Oh, there you go. That's her treat. That's her treat cereal. There you go. That's her treat. That's her treat cereal. There you go.

Congratulations, Erin. We are going to send you an unopened box of Nestle Milo cereal. Yep. If Kellogg's doesn't want to come to the party, Nestle my. Yes. And we're going to give you a free tomato. But normally last year we say, we get the winner to say, I'm so excited to win Shy Guy's biscuit.

Now we need something else. Is it I'm so excited to win Shy Guy's cereal? Yeah, the box, box of cereal. To win Shy Guy's box. Yeah, there we go. That's nice. Erin, what we're going to need from you? A crisp, clear, hi, my name's Erin and I'm so excited I won Shy Guy's box.

Okay, cool. Go for it. Hi, my name's Erin and I'm so excited I won Shy Guy's box. Yes! Jess and Ducko. This. I want Shy Guy's box. Yeah! Jess and Ducko. This story has tickled me, Pink. We're going to... Can you take us to London, please? Oh, yeah.

We can go to London. Thank you. I think it's a good lesson, speaking to kids. It's a good lesson for the kids out there. Just because someone is in a position of authority doesn't mean they've got it all worked out, you know? Maybe they might lead you astray, might be unintentional, but just always have your wits about you. This picture has gone viral of a, you know, like the driving instructor schools, how they've

got those really kitted out cars, they might have L plates all over it. Learner driver, yeah, yeah, yeah. Learner driver, learner driver. You know, it's they're promoting their business, obviously, at the same time. So it's all very obvious it's a learner driver vehicle with an instructor and, you know, we're learning the rules of the road. A learner driver in one of these cars has been snapped and shared on social media parking over the double yellow line.

So the equivalent here, you know, where along the curb there might be a yellow line indicating you are not to stop your car here. You cannot park here. Maybe it's too close to the corner or wherever it might be. They have done this over in the UK, to be fair, because apparently the learner driver wanted to pop into a shop. Not sure why, but the instructor has said, yeah, no worries. Pull over here. Cops have pulled up because it's a very busy thoroughfare and find the car

or find the driver, which was the learner in this case. So the instructor has done an immediate fail for the learner driver, made him return to the depot and go, all right, try again another day. But he let him do it. He let him. That's why I'm saying he always question authority. Because even an instructor might be leading you astray. The kids obviously ask, can I pull over here?

I need to go to the shop. If you're in your driving exam, are you going to the shop then and there? I'm not sure how badly you need your vape, but you're going to have to wait 20 minutes. They've got my favourite Kiwi vapes. Can't pull over right here. You can't be pulling. Look how busy this street looks.

Yeah, you can't be doing that. And the learner car has just pulled over. This reeks of the actual driver needed something, so he's gone, pull over here. You've got to get this for me. Oh, you're the instructor's leader? Yeah, the instructor. You get this for me.

I'll pass you. Two for one vapes. Let's both get our Kiwis, okay? Let's both get these. Yeah, so he's let the kid pull over. It's been a fine and immediate fail, which I just think that's got to be on the instructor. Who's contributed that?

This is that time of the morning where both our producers, Babs and Shy Guy, will just leave. They leave and go get cereal. They're not in the room. They come back and they get a bit giddy out there. They get a bit giddy and a bit silly. They've piped in. They've buzzed in. Put your voice to it. Yeah, one of you want to put your voice to what you just said?

What do you reckon his kid needed to pull over? He might have shat himself. That's the kind of gear that we're getting from the support team. If it was Babs that said that, it was Babs. No. Jess and Ducko. Roy Lotus. It is linger.

It's hit breakfast. Song's about shy guy, Jess. Absolutely it is. You know what? I don't have it. When you smooch a shy guy, that taste lingers. Babs like that. She's out there.

She is pissing her pants out there. The feeling of having had him lingers. It was like the other day we filmed something and someone, I think it was before we were back on air, and someone was like, why is Shaga just lurking in the background? That's what he does. He said, get in. So I got in, but then you don't do anything with that.

It's fun just having you there. You've got to get yourself in sometimes, Shaga. Yeah, I don't. We can't constantly be like, and Shaga, what do you think? You have a voice. You have agency. You've never said, what do I think? Well, Shaga, Yeah, I don't. We can't constantly be like, and Shaga, what do you think? You have a voice. You have agency. You've never said what do I think.

Well, Shaga, what do you think about being a lingerer? I don't agree. Alright, well, we disagree. Do you like that guitar progression in that song?

I hate that song. Too slow. I hate it so much. I hate a lot of the songs I get to know. That song was in my head all night. I woke up to that song in my head.

I wouldn't call that an earworm. It was just weird. I woke up, oh my God, do you have to? Do you have to? Your dog just starts howling just to try and harmonise. Crap, way to wake up. I'm sorry that happened to you. I had a dream that you weren't letting me name my child what I wanted to name it.

It was bizarre. You can name me. Well, I mean, I have strong opinions. I don't letting me name my child what I wanted to name it. It was bizarre. You can name me. Well, I mean, I have strong opinions. I don't think it's my call. Anyway. Anyway, you slipped into dad mode. I slipped into dad mode. And you got shamed by a kid.

I want to hear. So I was at a gerund gong a few weeks back at their big action park. It's a big water park. It's actually really cool. But I was there doing the weather, obviously. That's quite a dad assessment. Yeah, yeah. It's pretty cool.

It's good for the kids. Obviously, I was in my rashy because I'm not allowed to be flesh-showing around kids on TV. No, no, absolutely. Sun smart. Obviously. And reef shoes on, those little shoes. Was that the day you were wearing your little duck budgies? Was that a different day? A different day. No kids that day. Kids didn't shop that day, so I couldn't wear them. Anyway, when you do do the weather and stuff, it's a lot of working with kids and animals. And I've worked with kids a lot from kids TV to this sort of stuff,

so I'm pretty used to it. But I'm always, you know, it's always like fun, cool, you know, whatever, high energy, this and that. But these kids, they were playing with the mascot. There was a mascot there called Sammy the Shark. Okay. Now, behind Sammy the Shark was a girl dressed in the shark suit. You couldn't see, like, through the mouth of the shark was mesh,

and that's where her face was so she could see where she was going. Oh, okay, sure. These kids who are a bit older to appreciate Sammy the Shark, I think, right before we went on air. What are we talking, like, tween age? Yeah, I think so. Maybe 11 or 12. 12, yeah, it felt like that.

They're on the cusp, but they've got the attitude. They weren't listening to me about, guys, we're going to do this shot. All right, we're going to move here. Then I'm going to say this. Then you run in there. And they were, you know, mucking around. It's a terrifying age. And all the parents are just there smiling and watching with their phones out.

I'm like, can you control them? Control your, I'm trying to do the weather. They're like, no, no, we can't. It is 27 in Wagga. Respect me. Respect the craft. So I'm there doing it. And then poor Sammy the shark.

It was like a young girl in the suit and they were poking her and pushing her. And then Sammy the shark can't say anything. So the sharks were just like. Sharks don't talk. She's probably staying true to the character. She's method. She's method. The method shark was moving around.

I could tell she was freaking out too. Because a couple of, you know, tween age boys. I've told you, 3.30 of a weekday. Thank God it's still school holidays. I can actually leave the house in that time. But packs of tween teens. I know, they're at that age. It's nightmare fuel.

And they started realising that her face was beneath the mesh. So if they poked the mesh hard enough, it was like poking. It was poking. It was like bending it. And they started poking. And I saw, I'm the only adult in this situation that's there. We're about a minute away from going live on national TV. And I'm like, stop it.

Don't you poke Sammy's eyes. Okay. Just stand back there. Don't poke it. Stand back there. Leave Sammy alone. Stop it. And he's like, huffs off behind me.

And I'm like to the Sammy, are you okay? It was their one ringleader kid. Oh, yeah. And there was three of them, one ringleader. I said to Sammy, are you okay? Sammy's like, huffs off behind me. And I'm like to the same, you okay? Or was there one like ringleader kid? Oh, yeah. And there was three of them, one ringleader. So to Sammy, you okay? Sammy's like, yeah. And I hear the kid behind me talking to his mate. And he goes, the weather guy got angry.

He's going to be dining out on that. So he probably grew three feet being like, oh, yeah. Like, I some tough kid. I told that weather guy where to go. And we're on. Hi, everyone. I'm here at the action park. You having fun, kids?

Wacky Jackie over here being like, la, la, la. Oh, yeah. It's time to rip and tear. 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 unsure of the question, just say pass. We'll come back to you, of course, if there is time. They're the rules of engagement.

We're trying to at least get better than five. That's all we've got this year so far. It's a valiant effort. I know people tried their best. That's all we've got this year so far. It's a valiant effort. I know people tried their best. That's all we can ask. But it's nowhere near ten for $10,000. Their best isn't good enough. Their best is not good enough. Hey, they walk away with a great supplementary prize. Oh yeah.

But $10,000 is $10,000. You're winning just by playing the game, really. Truly. With what you get. Bo is going to have a good red hot crack, aren't you, Bo? Yeah, sure am. Yeah, good. Come on, Bo.

What do you want to spend $10,000 on? Well, it's meant to be 38 degrees today, so I've already told the boys that if we do win, then I'll take them to the pub for lunch and we'll have an early day finish. Oh, all right. Hang on, is Bo the boss? Bo the boss.

Boss Bo? Today, I am, yeah. Oh, okay. What do you do with yourself, Beau? Shed builder. Shed builder. That's a hot trade. And you ain't building sheds in 38 degrees.

Where will you cap it, Beau? Is that like a 32 degree thing? You're going, all right, it's not safe now. Well, we used to say 38 out the gate, but now I say 35 tops and work stops. 35 tops and work stops. Even 34. Yeah, yeah work stops. He said 34. That is a hot day to be building a tin shed. It was warm.

But I like that. 35, that feels good. It'll just keep creeping down. Yeah, yeah. Next year it'll be 20. The ones we come up with, the only ones. But let's get you 10 grand to shout everyone lunch. That's nice from Best Buy.

That is good. Yeah, it's a good lunch. The letter you're going to work with today, my friend, is W. W for winner, which is what we want to see. Yeah, we're going to like that. Okay. Let's go. Are you ready to rock?

Sure am. Let's do it. Your time will start after the first question. Starting with the letter W, we need you to name a cooking utensil. A whip. A body part. A puff.. Pass. An appliance.

Washing machine. A tool. Sorry, a wrench. A cocktail. Watermelon and vodka. An accessory. Watch. A band.

Pass. A biscuit. Wagon wheels. A biscuit? Waggon wheels. A four-letter word? Oh, no. No, we started so strong. We did. Whisk right out the gate.

You got yourself five. Another five. I don't think the cocktail watermelon vodka is a cocktail. No, I don't think so either. Maybe an ingredient? Yeah. We were looking for the white Russian or the whiskey sour. A body part's a hard one because you don't think of a wrist.

Yeah. No, I thought of it, but I didn't get back to it in time. Okay. And a band, Wolf Mother, Wham, Westlife, if you're into that. Thank you. Appreciate you. They're the ones that you denounce. Everything else you got correct. Look, you're into that. Thank you. Appreciate you. They're the ones that you denounce. Everything else you got correct.

Look, you don't go over to your hand of bow. Maybe you can split this with the boys. $100 to spend at Minx Erotic Boutique, minx.com.au. I'm sure they'll love that one. It's not lunch. It's all about team building. It is. A couple of whips and chains for the lads, you know?

You never know. Boost morale for the shirt. Go see George and say, look, I've got a team of eight. What have you got for me? When Gary's rocking up with the ball and chain to work tomorrow, you'll know he's used this. We're not in demolition, Gary. We build the shed.

We'll start getting paid more, that's for sure. That's the spirit. There you go. What a legend. Or even give that $100 to your best worker. Yeah, that's a good little carrot to dangle. Yeah, that's yours. Well, thanks for playing, Bo.

Good luck building the shed today. Cheers, mate. Thank you. Got one more joke to make. Oh, yeah, go, go, go. You know, he's looking for ways to cool down for 38 degrees, but at Minsk you're only going to find things to spice you up. Oh, yeah.

Sorry, Bo, you can go now. Proceed with caution. See you, Bo, you can go now. It's back tomorrow, 6.30 and 8am for $10,000. Still yet to get over the five hump for 2025. That's alright, we'll try again. We're doing five and 25. Come on, we're back, baby.

How good is the number five? It's so many rides. It does with things, doesn't it? It does. Hey, up next, another opportunity to win the call of fame that night down in Sydney with tickets to the zoo and the aquarium. We're going to ask, how did you know that they were the one? I don't want no romance lovey-dovey. I want something that's solidified.

Yep, this is my person. Oh, I see. They're going to be with me through the trenches. Jess and Ducko. When did you know they were the one? Our number's 131060. And hey, look, if you want to call through to Babs and say, oh, you know, the way he cares for me.

Yeah, sure. The way he looked at me when I rolled over. The way he looked at me. I knew he was the one. No, no. I'm looking for those moments in your relationship where you went, geez, this isn't the most glamorous. This is downright disgusting.

And yet they've stood by me This is my person Last week we were catching up with my neighbour You know my neighbour Kev We love Kev Kev's moving He's found love baby Kev was single

He's found someone And he is happy as Larry He's found his person So he's moving to be closer to her. And we're all catching up. I asked the question, when did you know? What was the moment you thought, yes, this is the woman for me? I think Kev's in his late 50s, you know.

He's been around the block. I'm like, what was it about her that you went, this is my person? Particularly at that age as well when you're a bit more stubborn and set in your ways. Absolutely. You forgive people for maybe going through a relationship, coming out the other side and being like, oh, I'm going to be single. It's all too hard basket.

But now he's found love again and he went, I reckon it was when we did our bowel cancer screening together. We got the kit in the mail. And Danny's elbowed him being like, shut up. She doesn't want to hear that. I went, yes, I do, Danny. Yes, I do. They got the kits in the mail because obviously they're both over 45.

Yeah, you've got to do it. And they get sent from the government, the kit. Oh, yeah. And so they dedicated it. And they did it together. They did it together. Yeah, they ripped it open. They dedicated it after.

Who wants to go? Are you brewing or am I? Who goes first? Who wants to catch who first? Oh. Because anyone who doesn't. They're not catching each other's. Well, I mean.

No, you're not doing that. I didn't go into the nitty gritty. Surely not. But maybe they've got those twin toilets. You know, Meek and Traynor had the twin toilet. Yeah, I've always wanted one of those. So her and her husband, Daryl, could sit together. Because it is hard.

I've done that screen before. I've had my poo examined and stuff. And it's hard. You know, it's like, I had to lay a bed of toilet paper down in order just to then, because you've got to scoop a bit of it out. You've got to scoop a bit of it out. So wouldn't it be wonderful if your partner could just hover the bucket? Yes, just right there.

I love you, baby. Here we go. Here we go. And they'd only been together, Ducko, not even a year. Playing in the background with Tanya's recording. It's really nice. It's soothing that. It is.

So maybe they put on a nice playlist. They had whatever meal they needed to have. Yeah. And they were able to, I'm going to say, catch each other's. And it solidified for them, yes, this is my person. Kev's listening going, I didn't catch her. Okay. We just both got the test at the same time.

I know he's visiting her at the moment, so he's not in town. That's why we got to do it. If his colleagues are listening, they dobbed on me last time. Did they? Like your wife's colleagues dob on you. I hate it when they do that. Kev is in the healthcare as well. No respect to the craft of radio.

If they don't hear it, they missed it. Yeah. But anyway, that's how he knew this is my person. That's beautiful. Not even together a year, and they're doing the bowel cancer screening. For me, Ducko, we've been together. I really needed to do this math. This came up the other day. It was like six or seven, wasn't it?

Six or seven years. You've been together since 2019. That's right. 2018, technically, you know. But we went out for Chinese the other day. And, you know, it can be a bit bitsy, the Chinese. And Angus was like, God, it's a bit in my tooth. I want to get it out.

It's irritating me. And I offered him some of my hair. And he went, no, thanks. Does that work? Why not? I've got strong hair. Act like floss. I wonder if that would work. You know what he did instead? I've never even thought about that. He bit off a bit of his thumbnail and used that as a tooth paint. That's disgusting. That's a divorceable territory.

That is horrific. It's not because I was like, that's genius. It is smart but it's gross. This is a guy who leaf blew a toilet water onto himself. Leaf blew, gus gus. What it's about is looking after each other. And that's how we know we are the one, because the grossness, we're beyond it. I don't think

you've known someone until you have to look for hemorrhoids. You know? That's what I knew. That's what I knew. You just called, were you the... There's been a two-prong attack. Me first, obviously. I broke that barrier down, but I've had to do it. Were you just lying on your bed? Yeah, yeah.

Check it, check it. No, it was more like I ran into the room and just spread and just went, have a look, quick. And she's medical. Yeah, she is. She's medical. But did you know what you were looking for? No.

I had to Google it. I'm happy to help, but I don't know what I'm doing. Sarah on 131060. Sarah, how did you know they were the one? Well, I guess I like to smell his armpits. Yeah, he hasn't broken up with me yet. Now, Dunco's just done a stiff test on himself. I don't mind the smell of my own armpits.

Of your own brand. But I don't think I like other people's. Do you like your own or do you like others? Oh, I like a bit of both. Even, like, I've gone so far as to, like, sniff his ear just to check that, you know, the earwax is smelling okay. And was it? Yeah.

When you say smelling okay, was it smelling good? Like, you enjoyed the smell? No, like, I don't necessarily enjoy it. It's just like I feel like I need to check in. Yeah, you really need to look at it. You're compelled to check in. And if that's not grossing you out to a point where you're going, I don't think we can be together.

Obviously the pheromones. Sarah did that check on all past partners and they all left her, but one didn't and she's like, well, you're it. He's the one. 13, 10, 60. I love it, Sarah. Thank you. How'd you know they were the one?

How'd you know they were the one? From pits to bits. Give us a call. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. My neighbor's found love. I think he's in his 50s. And I was like, how'd you know she was the one?

He's moving to be closer to her. You know, the whole thing. They're serious. They're committed. Yeah. And he went, I reckon it was when we did our bowel cancer screening together. We got the kits and she came over and we did the sample collection. That would be a bonding moment. It would be.

It's pretty bonding, isn't it? Because you go at that age, we're doing it together. We're in the same stage of life. Yes. I obviously care about your wellbeing enough that I'm going to look through the, you know, some might say it's a bit yucky how you've got to do that, but it's important. It's important. We've got to be doing it.

Our values are aligned. You know, the government's sending them out from 45 plus. We've got to be doing it. Our values are aligned. Let's take care of one another. Yeah. You're my person. The next step will be doing colonoscopies on the same day.

Oh, I love that. That'll be fun. Even just a colonic. Oh, yeah. As you stare into each other's eyes. It's nice. Awake. So we be fun. Even just a colonic. Oh, yeah. As you stare into each other's eyes. It's nice. Awake. So we go to Christy on 131060.

Christy, how did you know they were the one? Good morning, guys. I knew my partner was the one a few months into our relationship when he had hemorrhoids for the first time. And he got me to check them every day for about a week to make sure they were going down. And were they, Christy? Could you report positive news?

I can't confirm. Yeah, they were going down. Are you saying Roids is in multiple, like he had a couple hanging there? Yeah, yeah, and it was the first time. We both didn't know what was going on, but he was in so much pain. Yeah, nasty things. What's the treatment for hemorrhoids, Christy? Like, were you having to administer some sort of... You can get them surgically removed.

Oh, is it surgery? But they're meant to sort of go down their own, aren't they, Christy? But they don't always do that. Yeah, his doctor just said to, like, soak them in, like, Epsom salts to, like, shrink them and then use some cream or something. Yeah, Epsom salt bath. Did you have to apply the cream? I left that with him.

Oh, come on. You're the one. I'm going to do that. Oh, look at it. I ain't fingering him. I'm not touching those. That's just not happening. Fair enough.

Thank you, Christy. That's exactly what we're looking for. True love. Level jump. That's true love. Yeah. We've got a Steve on 131060. Steve, when did you know they were the one?

Oh, it was the first six, seven days when we started dating, I went to a battle of the beans when I started drinking for the probably second time in my life. And I drank that much that evening when I got home. I threw up everywhere in the bathroom, bathtub, spa bath, shower. And I woke up the next morning and everything was clean, pristine. And a little bit of a kiss on the cheek saying, please don't do it again. And now we're married.

Oh, that's nice. We got through it together. Cleaning up someone else's vomit is one of the most disgusting jobs anyone can do. Yeah, especially when you've got a stomach full of alcohol. Yeah, Steve, that's a special lady you've got there. Now they're married, see? Now they're married. And what did he say?

Within the first week or something? Yeah, six or seven days. That's amazing. Beautiful. Kira, wrap this up for us, babe. How did you know they were the one? Well, my partner ended up going to Bali to to go get some tattoos and probably only six months of us dating he got really sick over in bali not your general bali belly it was a real big stomach

like flu he ended up coming home i'd seen him for about two days and then one night in the middle of the night he was staying over at mine and I shit the bed and I vomited everywhere and I I woke up first obviously he was still parked out snoring on his side of the bed ran to the bathroom I was like couldn't even hold myself up I thought it was the end of my life I was going to die ended up he ended up hearing me dry reaching in the bathroom he woke up the smell in my room because i had an ensuite very small apartment window was open as much as i could had no fan in my bedroom whatsoever um he ended up cleaning the bed sheets having to do all of that i ended up being sick for three days, ended up in the hospital and everything.

When I finally got out of the hospital, I finally had nothing to poop or vomit. But he stayed with me the whole time. And when I didn't have anything to poop, my fart smelled like something had crawled up my bum and absolutely died. They were so bad. And I remember specifically laying in bed and he was, I looked over to my right,

he pushed up right against the wall, holding the blanket and he looked at me and he's gone, are you, are you all right? Do you need to go to the bathroom? And I'm like, and I'm, I'm bawling my eyes out at this point.

I'm like, I'm so sorry. I can't help it. And it was just the worst time of my life. And he stayed with me throughout all of it. Early days, too. Are you still together? Yeah.

We are. We're still together today. That is the best. Please tell me he gave you a good nickname out of that or something. No, but he did have a good laugh about it. And the most awkward thing was I had a main bathroom and I used to, if he was home, I would go to the main bathroom and pretend to do washing so I could poop when he was over.

And because I was so embarrassed to be in front of him, he didn't care so much when he told, he'd be like, all right, I'm going to shit, that's it. Whereas this, this, you're done, you're done. Yeah, we've heard enough from you. Jess and Ducko. No,

I don't think so. It's a no. I don't like it. Shy Guys Dregs. Now, we've been, it's a new year, obviously, 2025, it's our first week back. We've been toying with where to put this little segment, Shy Guys Dregs. Now, we've been, it's a new year, obviously, in 2025. It's our first week back. We've been toying with where to put this little segment, Shaguy's Dregs. Shaguy's Dregs. Now, a little peek behind the curtain, Rice Cookers.

Of an evening, Shaguy works overtime. Oh, yeah. He is trawling the websites, the newspapers, everything. What might be interesting for Jess and Ducko to talk about? What should we put on the board the following day? He's sending upwards of 10, 10 stories sometimes. Yep. Might only use two or three. Two or three. And that might be on a good the following day. He's sending upwards of 10. 10 stories sometimes. Yep. Might only use two or three.

Two or three. And that might be on a good day. Yeah. I look like the Mexican Tribune or the Japanese Times. That's right. You never know what you find over there. That's right. You have got some subscriptions right around the world.

But Shy Guy's issue is I'm putting all this work in, and now they're just dregs. They're just left to end up on the waste paper bin of history. Maybe we do want to revisit them. He's going to give us a couple of headlines, three to four headlines. We can either gloss over it by getting

rid of it or we go into a little bit more detail. Maybe actually you've pitched that a bit more interestingly. We are curious. So what have you got for us today, Shaga? What didn't make the board? The world's most dangerous position in the bedroom has been revealed after a study. It's 8.37 on a Wednesday, Daco.

It doesn't feel right. We brush it. Yep. A story on Reddit from just as a mum as the username. She got back at a co-worker because her food kept getting stolen from the fridge. Hot contention. I always do like those ones. I like revenge plots.

I saw Babs' banana once and she's never forgiven me. Oh no, that's right. You're dead to her. Are you interested? I'm a little bit intrigued. So this mum kept bringing a salad, putting it in the fridge, cheese and tomato and stuff and had some sort of seasoning. Good to see you know what's in salads, cheese and tomato and stuff.

Yeah. Sounds like a caprese, beautiful. I'm paraphrasing. Okay, sorry. He knows he's on the call. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway, the guy kept stealing the lunch. And so she noticed after months and then just put a spice dressing

on it. Oh, that's good. She made it hot. She got back at him. So she knew who was stealing it? She had an idea. Okay. This is more like, don't touch my lunch, here's your warning. So she covered it in spices and he, sure enough, ate it and he never did it again.

There you go. That's a good way to do it. Absolutely. But you want to watch's a good way to do it. Absolutely. But you want to watch him eating it to get the satisfaction. The punishment. Yeah, you want to see it. You want to see it. Yeah, other people commented saying they did similar things. Like there was a co-worker that was allergic to nuts.

Oh, now we're getting into murder territory. Hang on, you could really harm them here. Anaphylaxis. So I gave her nuts and she died. That's the EpiPen. I'm just reading what the commenters have said. While they're choking. See, never do this again, Sally. Epilepsis is a... So I gave her nuts and she died. That's the epi pen. I'm just reading what the commenters have said. While they're choking. See, never do this again, Sally.

People are savage. My satay is my satay. And the other one I found on my favourite website, lawandcrime.com slash lawsuit. It's just ongoing lawsuits around the world. A man woke up during surgery because his face caught fire. Oh, I am curious now how the face caught fire. Oh, yeah.

Okay, so he's suing. This is why he's on the Law and Crime website. What country was this in? Oregon. So America. America, yeah. He's suing for a million dollars because... That doesn't feel like enough if your face is on fire.

No. He was undergoing a procedure. I can't pronounce that word. I wonder if it was even a procedure on his face. It was on his tongue. On his tongue. Okay. As he checked into the hospital, did all of that.

I didn't think a blowtorch was required for tongue surgery, but what do I know? We're not the doctors. We're not the doctors. Oh, you need a good lighter for the tongue surgery. He's totally out. He wakes up. Air spray and a lighter. Yes.

He's out. They're doing the surgery. He's totally out. He wakes up. Airspray and a lighter. Yes. He's out. They're doing the surgery. He wakes up. His face is burning. Oh, and that's really the story. Maybe we should have. Maybe we should have brushed that. Well, that's the dregs, right?

Well, there's the dregs. You see why some of them didn't make the board? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I do love the chilli spice on the stolen stuff. Good way to get back at the co-workers. Absolutely. Really good way to get back at the co-workers. Absolutely. Really good way to get back at the co-workers. Don't get tongue surgery, though.

You can always DM us any time if you've got an idea for a topic off the back of our Weet-Bix chat yesterday. I've had a lot of people saying, can you guys talk about this next? We'd love to have that. Thank you very much. Always welcomed. Right now, though, this is a bit of fun. This is just a joke list, but it's a university over in the UK

that does an annual banishment list of words that they think were overused last year. So in 2025, they should be banned. Oh, my God. I love... Brat. Is brat on the list? Brat isn't on the list, actually. Oh, what?

But I don't know if brat is a word. Like, it is, but I don't know if they're... Like, you'll understand when I say... Okay, tell me. Oh, actually, no, brat could have been on this list. I don't know why it's not there. Like pop culture-y things or just overdone. Overdone.

Now, one of these things, Jess, you say a lot. One of these things I say a lot. And I think maybe Sharga uses another. What is it, overthink? Fine. It's fine. Okay, so the first one is cringe. They reckon the word cringe is being used too much.

I mean, but there's so much stuff that's cringeworthy. Yeah. What else? Maybe it's not cringeworthy, it's cringe. Oh, it's cringe. That's so cringe. That's so cringe. Okay.

That's getting banned. Banned. Game changer is another one. Do you know what's funny? I literally used game changer in a sentence the other day. It might have been on social media, and I felt like such a loser. I don't mind game changer. That's a game changer. I don't know. Yes, I think it was a loser. I don't mind game changer. That's a game changer.

I don't know. Yes, I think it was. Oh, that is an absolute game changer. You know what it was? Oh, you know what it was? It was about using the oil from goat's cheese to cook potatoes. Oh, you'll tell anyone who listens.

And I wrote to someone. Jess has got a potato recipe, everyone. I think I messaged my mother-in-law who'd given to me and I said, it's a game changer. And I felt really inauthentic and lame. See, I don't mind game changing, but apparently people are out there with you. I think it's been tarnished.

This is another funny one. I don't think it was used so much last year. This has been around for a couple of years, but using the word dropped, like an album just dropped. What are you meant to say instead? Released. It's been released. It's come out.

I guess it's just saying things dropped. Dropped doesn't agitate me as much as some of the others. Like, oh my God, Gorman just dropped their new summer range. Can't you be bringing Gorman into this conversation, you butthead? It's a game changer. Gorman just dropped their summer range. They do have a new collaboration with an artist and it is a game changer. Oh, no, this is the one you use a lot.

I've been waiting for this. I haven't told you this. And I think Babs uses it. I hate this word. Era. Oh, yeah. They're in there. It's yeah. They're in there. It's giving. They're in there. I thought you were going to say

giving because you had a go at me the other day about giving. I don't like it's giving. It's giving rainbow era, whatever you want to say. Everyone says it. It's not just you. Lots of people say it. No. See, I love giving. You do like giving. Because I think it's giving. It's such a perfect summation

that something's giving. People just use it. It's giving such perfect summation that something's giving. It's giving such and such vibes. You know, like when you're introducing a new game, for instance, it's giving Grant Denya. Like it just works so well. And then era, yes, like Babs is in her sassy era. She's in her I'm trying to run era. Yeah, she's in her fitness era.

It just works. Yeah. Why does everyone have to be in a freaking era of her, I'm trying to run era. Yeah, she's in her fitness era. It just works. Yeah. But why does everyone have to be in a freaking era of something, you know? Because of Taylor. Because of Taylor Swift.

That's where it's come from. She permeates, she permeates language. It's actually quite, it's quite interesting. What's the one you, I'll get to it, I'll get to it.

This next one is If You Know You Know. Or when people write it like I-Y-K-Y-K. Okay, are you just having a go at me? No, I swear. I've done so many of these just recently.

Oh, I didn't know you used if you know you know. Yeah, yeah. So do you remember, it might have been last year, I put a cute video of Lucia eating something with her hands and I got trolled by this absolute mole of a woman saying she should be using cutlery. That's right. That's right. Well, I posted a video of her just the other day using cutlery, and I said, this goes out

to Kathleen. I-Y-K-Y-K. Yeah, right. Often when you see people's stories with random things and they have that there, you're like, well, if you know, you know what? What's it? I reckon we've just educated a few people. If you didn't know that acronym and you see it written, that's what it stands for.

If you know, you know. This one, no surprises. Skibbity. You want to ban that? That makes a lot of sense. That should never have been a thing. Happy days. Sorry, not sorry is another one. Oh, Dem Skibbity. You want to ban that. That makes a lot of sense. That should never have been a thing. Happy days.

Sorry, not sorry is another one. Oh, Demi Lovato won't be happy with that. I thought that was old, though. I don't know anyone saying that anymore. That is old. That feels a bit weird. Now, this is what I use all the time. And I think the team will go, 100%.

See, I can't be mad at you for that. I use 100% all the time. I can't help it. 100%. 100%. 100%. Sometimes I say it twice in a sentence. You fully believe in it. 100%. I'm not going to criticize you it twice in a sentence. You fully believe in it.

100%. I'm not going to criticize you on that. It just feels so like it's full. All right. If you drop 100%, I'll drop era. But I don't know if that's a commitment we can make to each other. I know. We'll have to really try hard.

Every time one of us says that we owe money in the jar. Yeah, that's not a bad idea. Says it, not says it. One of you asks me a question. And the other one, which I think Shaga uses is period. Where it's like, it's over, period. Not says it. And the other one. Why don't you ask me a question? And the other one, which I think Shaga uses is period, where it's like, it's over, period. Oh, yeah. We're not saying anyone.

To really put a verbal full stop. I just think that song's a turd, period. Period. That's what Shaga would say. Yeah, that does fit with you. Lingo is crap, period. No, mate. That's what it's called.

Yeah, that song by Royal Otis. I thought you were talking about you. No. Period. Yeah, okay. So they're the words that are out were talking about you. No. Yeah. Yeah, okay. So they're the words that are out. Go forth. Go forth and do not use those words.

We're not saying any of those anymore. No, we can't. Children, no more skibbity. Yeah, I love how that's the only dumb child word that's on there. All the other words that we'd use. What's that one we learned last year? Alla halas is Freddy Fazbear. That should also be on the ban.

They couldn't spell it. They couldn't. I didn't know how to put it on there. Happy Wednesday, team. Been a hell of a program list. They couldn't spell it. They couldn't. I didn't know how to put it on there. Happy Wednesday, team. Been a hell of a program so far. Couldn't agree more. The return of Shy Guy dips for 2025, our favourite game of last year. Yep.

Where Shy Guy would poorly describe biscuits. Yep. It's back bigger and better. We're heading to the cereal aisle. And it felt good, too, the cereal aisle. God, it felt good. It didn't feel like it shouldn't be there. No, Erin was very good getting Milo.

Yeah. She said I'm a big fan of cereal. Loves her cereal. And basically we've worked out he's dipping his spoon. He's dipping his spoon. Into a bowl of cereal for the new year. It all makes sense. It all makes sense.

We're going to change the name. I think it's good. I think there's enough cereal in the cereal aisle that we can get a lot out of this. Totally. Thank you to the rice cookers. We were inundated with suggestions. Yep. Ice cream, salad dressings.

You know I had a hard-on for dips. I really wanted to. You were pushing dips. I wanted to show I got a dip. We've seen how people with passion as a dip. One person said dips like French onion, et cetera. I appreciate that. What else is it going to be?

Tzatziki. I call it a bit Tzatziki. That's all we've got. You know I make a great tzatziki. Baba ganoush. You haven't even mentioned baba ganoush. That's three words. What's the one, I make a great tzatziki. Baba Ganoush. You haven't even mentioned Baba Ganoush. That's three words. What's the one that I like that I gave you that time?

The orange one. Yeah, you gave me the roast pumpkin and cashew. The Red Rock Deli. The problem is I don't know the dips. I just know the colours. I'm like, that one looks good. Red Rock Deli do good dips. They do some creative dips.

Nothing's cheap with them, but they're good. But we are leaving it. We're leaving dips. Maybe we can do one edition of dips for my birthday. And then leave it. Possibly. You just asked for a birthday. I we can do one edition of dips for my birthday. And then leave it. Possibly. You just asked for a birthday. I want a birthday dips edition.

If my birthday falls on a Wednesday. I wonder if it does. Oh, well, quick babs. What were you last year? I think it was a Monday last year. Anyway, it's cereal. Yep. And it was a lot of fun.

We're so glad it's back for another year. It is back. If you missed anything, grab it on Listener. We get your podcasts. You can hear the entire show. Plus, this week, it was a lot of fun. We're so glad it's back for another year. It is back. If you missed anything, grab it on Listener where you get your podcasts. You can hear the entire show. Plus, this week, it was a lot of fun yesterday. We're beta testing all games that we may or may not use on the show. That's right.

We landed on one yesterday. That was a lot of fun. It was good. You can catch up on yesterday's podcast to hear that game. High stress. High stress. Yeah. I think it's staying, too, that game.

I think it is. I think it's made the... It's got the tick of approval. I think it's a Monday game. Ooh. Oh, Monday. Okay. But today, we'll beta test a it's got the tick of approval. I think it's a Monday game. Ooh. Oh, Monday. Okay. But today we'll beta test a new game in the podcast.

Yep. We'd love your feedback. So the podcast lives on listener, but you can always slide into the DMs to give us some feedback. Yep. Or suggestion. Anything you want. Otherwise, 0488881069 is our text line.

Yeah, we're going to utilise the text line more this year as well. Absolutely. It's maybe even getting its own segment too. Oh, well, there you go. Yeah, no. We'll have to beta test it. We'll beta test it. Jam-packed.

But that's about all we've got time for. Back tomorrow, Wordy Oki is back. No beta testing here. No beta testing. We love Wordy Oki. We love Wordy Oki. Babs giving us a word. Yeah, it's Babs.

It's us three versus each other. Babs, are you happy to maintain your role as Quizmaster? Of course. Yeah, she's pumped for it. Shy Guy's playing. Yeah, there'll be like Royal Otis songs and stuff from Babs. Oh, God, no, thank you. There'll be niche references that we'll have to try and get.

And we're keeping score of this game as well. Yes. I think so. All right. We'll keep a score. A yearly tally. A yearly tally. Okay, good.

We're out of here. We're back tomorrow. We will see you then. Bye-bye. Bye. Oh, that just looks like contact dermatitis, you know. Don't worry about it. Jess and Ducko.

That was the Jess and Ducko podcast. The new loose change menu has dropped at Macca's. OMG. T's and C's apply.
