Hot Honey has stopped at Macca's for a limited time only.
Embrace the jury of Jess and Duggo.
This is the Jess and Duggo podcast.
Hi everyone. Welcome to the podcast.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got a question.
Yes, yes. Okay, so today on the show I was telling you about how I'm doing the hands-on-hands with Morgan.
I had an update. I saw the obstetrician yesterday.
He told me that babies can slip out all the time, so I need to be safe on the hands.
But also, he did the stretch and sweep.
Yes. Now, I had a to be safe on the hands. But also, he did the stretch and sweep. Yes.
Now, I had a baby 18 months ago.
Yep.
I was, and I think I'm using the phrase correctly,
lucky to have avoided a stretch and sweep because all I have heard is that it's quite painful.
Yep.
And it can induce labour.
Like, they will not do a stretch and sweep before it is deemed safe
in case the kid comes because it's invasive.
It's invasive.
What is it for?
It's to ripen the cervix, I believe.
Wow.
To get the cervix ready to test where it is.
Isn't that why you've done the perineal massage?
Yeah, yeah.
I never got to do it.
I feel like I was robbed of that experience.
It's to get the cervix ready and to test how open or closed the cervix is. So because baby's head was engaged, meaning low lying,
and Morgan's getting early signs of labor, we thought,
geez, this could happen really soon, and so did he.
I've been getting so anxious because there's a bunch of things I want
to do before you leave.
I know.
So my guy's had to deal with a lot for me because he's like,
we'll just flesh it out a bit more.
We'll do this.
We'll have this.
I'm like, what if she goes?
I know.
And knowing our luck and me and my child, she probably will come tomorrow or something. We'll have missed all this opportunity, which we'll do this. We'll have this child. I'm like, what if she goes? I know. And knowing our luck and me and my child, she probably will come tomorrow or something.
We'll have missed all this opportunity, which we never do again.
So he's been up against it, dealing with a lot, because you're doing things like stretch
and sweeps.
Yes.
Early.
But he said yesterday her cervix was not open yet, meaning that baby's probably not quite
ready and they're probably going to have to go do the balloon thing on Sunday night.
Say now, balloon.
Inducing.
I know the balloon.
I did the same thing. Induction. See, now balloon. Inducing. I know the balloon. I did the same thing.
Induction.
That is genuinely stretching the body out.
And put the balloon in.
And it's literally almost tricking the body, like, open.
The passageway is open.
And then the body thinks, oh, we're good to go.
It's the opposite of Gandalf.
You shall not pass.
It's Gandalf going, Gandalf, come in.
You can pass.
It's Moses parting the sea.
The Red Sea.
Of course you brought a biblical
Eucharistic minister in.
Can you
describe for me what's involved
with the stretch and sway? So I can't describe the inner
work because I didn't feel it, but this is what I got
to see. What did you witness? You get to see
the obstetrician put on the gloves
and your wife... Does he like snap the gloves off?
I'll be going in pretty deep.
He puts on the glove, you know like plumbers do to go up to the elbow.
A bit of elbow grease.
What?
And then Morgan's there.
She's obviously, there's always something uncomfortable.
And he's like, yeah, just take your undies and pants off,
throw them in the corner or you can give them to Ducko
and then put your legs up on the stairs.
You're just standing in the corner holding your panties.
Just, yeah.
Here I am.
I put them on my head.
Here I am, blanket.
I'm just there in the corner.
Here I am, blanket. Yeah, with her in the corner. Here I am, blanket.
Yeah, with her knickers on your head.
Yeah.
Just trying to lighten the mood.
And so she does that, and then he goes around the corner,
they open the blinds, and she's just sitting there,
legs on the stirrups, like up.
And so everything's open and, you know, whatever.
And he literally just puts his fingers inside her.
So you're just watching someone else put their fingers inside your wife.
So that's the stretch component?
Yeah, yeah.
And then he puts his hand on her belly to feel baby's head and where it's at and presses
down pretty firmly on the belly while going fairly deep with the fingers.
Is that the sweep?
I believe so.
Okay, like it's coming together of those two actions to work out?
Yes, to where it's all happening.
Where she's at.
Exactly.
And then he goes, oh, I can feel the head.
Can you feel that?
Which one can he feel the head with?
The one inside? So he's pushing down and pushing up. So I guess, I can feel the head. Can you feel that? Which one can he feel the head with? The one inside?
Inside.
So he's pushing down and pushing up.
So I guess he can, like, feel the head.
And he goes, I can feel the head.
Can you feel that?
Then Morgan's going like, yeah.
Oh, my God.
She must have been very uncomfortable.
But seeing another man with their fingers in your wife,
albeit medical, it is one of the strangest things.
Like, I, because when we got the embryo put in, it's obviously IVF.
I thought that was weird.
But then they're putting a baby in her and you can see it go through.
So it's like actually quite cool.
Again, a dumb question.
IVF?
That's not the hand.
Or is the hand going all the way up to the syringe?
It's a syringe.
It's like a floppy syringe.
And you see them like insert it from the Petri dish. And then you see the cameras on it and then you see it go in. They've got like a floppy syringe and you see them insert it from the Petri dish and then
you see the cameras on it and then you see it go in.
They've got a camera on Morgan's belly so you can see it go in
and through up the canal. Whereas this one
This is just straight fingers.
This is just
year 9 movies.
This reminds me of high school dancers.
Anchorman
1?
You're just at the movies.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Movie marathons. But this is now bright, lit, fluorescent doctor's office.
And the way he does it, too, obviously this is his job, right?
But the way he just does it, talks to me, talks to her,
looks at the screen, does some things.
He's done 15 already that day.
100%.
And what's even weirder, like, this isn't weird, but weird for me,
his wife is outside working on reception.
And I'm like, your wife's out there on reception.
My wife's in here and you've got your fingers in her and I'm watching.
I want to.
No.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What is going on?
You've been trying to look for something.
I'm seeing your eyes dart.
What are you looking for?
Tell me.
I was looking for, I couldn't find my button bar because.
Ah.
Yeah, I said it.
Please tell me we still have that.
Yeah.
So basically it was like.
Fingers up the side and lick the fingers.
Without the lick the fingers part.
Yeah, obviously without the lick the fingers.
No, he was great.
He didn't do any of that.
My poor, my poor obstetrician knowing that I've just talked about this crap
so willy nilly on air.
Who cares about the obstetrician?
Your wife.
Oh, yeah.
But she knows.
She married you.
She saw your, you know, rise in radio.
She knew this day was coming.
Yeah, she knew.
The stretch and sweep coverage was coming.
I didn't tell her I was doing that on air today, but we got there.
Didn't say I was going to publicly say her cervix wasn't open.
Oops.
Don't talk about my unripe.
I know.
I know the things we share.
Also, Babs, did you Google?
Can we say ripe?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I didn't Google that.
You're the resident fact checker.
I thought I wasn't allowed to Google.
You're a poor Googler.
I love it when these two both have Google and then we still get the wrong fucking answers.
I know, you and I will just go and go and go.
And they both got computers and then half the time I'm typing it in.
I always think Shy Guy's Googling something.
Turns out he's just teaming Babs about when to make toast.
Anyway, her unripe service.
Yes, do you have any other questions?
Because I said to Morgan, she goes, how did you feel?
I said, I was uncomfortable more than that than anything I've been.
God, she's an empath.
How did you feel?
Well, because she's so medical.
She's so medical.
She's so like knows it, has seen it, logical, whatever.
And she has been in birth.
It's not like she's, I mean, she's a cardiac nurse, but she's seen this side of medicine.
She does the cesareans.
Imagine being a podiatrist.
It's like, but you're medical.
I work with feet.
Yeah. Not this. Not this. It's just amazing. She did the cesareans. Whereas you can imagine being a podiatrist. It's like, but you're medical. I work with feet. Not this.
It's just amazing.
She did say it was painful. And Morgan's got a pretty good pain threshold. It's actually fairly
high. And I could see her going like
making some grunty faces.
I reckon my obstetrician read the room and was like, you're not going to
be able to handle this. I'm just not going to do it.
So I got to avoid
all that. Oh, you're lucky. I think
Agus is lucky too.
Yeah, yeah.
Because it did make me go like, I don't think we can have sex anymore now until baby comes.
I think we're at that stage.
As in because it will induce labour.
Yeah.
And I'll just be poking her.
Your kid will come out with a dint.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, obviously.
What's that?
That's daddy's dint.
You'll have to name her Concave.
Why did you call me Connie?
Connie Concave.
Oh, Connie, that's a beautiful name. That's not short for anything, is it?
It actually is
Well, honey, see, when you're inside your mother
Connie's a great name
It's a great name, Connie Concave
I dated a Connie once, we can never call her Connie
Did you just shove a dint in her head?
I didn't check
But I doubt it
Did your dad?
Yeah Can you imagine Shy Guy? He caught it I didn't check, but I doubt it. Did your dad? Yeah.
Anyway.
Can you imagine Shy Guy?
He could.
He could.
She'd be Connie Flathead.
She'd be Fiona Flatty.
You've got length or lack thereof on your side.
Shy Guy's going to have no home.
At least mine's like a little jab.
Shy Guy's is just like a proper just, that's a K-R.
It's like taking a saucepan to the face.
That sounds insulting.
She'll be, hey Arnold.
To who?
A saucepan.
Yeah, because it's so flat.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like you're giant.
Yeah, but that's wide.
Yeah, I think you're wide.
You're taking insult to having what's called a massive schlong?
What is happening right now?
You cannot please, there is no pleasing this man.
I never know how to respond when you bring it up.
There is no pleasing this man. Let's not call him small. Let's flip the narrative. I never know how to respond when you bring it up. There is no pleasing this man.
Let's not call him small.
Let's flip the narrative.
I'm going to have a big penis from now on.
Oh, it's just.
Yeah.
Any other questions?
Yeah, I'm trying to think.
Babs, should I get any other questions?
Can you explain the balloon thing?
Oh, yeah.
Well, Jess can probably explain it better because she's had it done.
So for an induction, which basically is tricking the body into going into labor.
Yeah. So the balloon, there are two ways.
I don't know if your obstetrician gave you the option.
Ooh, hasn't said it yet.
Mine gave us the, didn't really give us the option because in that room, he's the expert
or she's the expert, whoever your obstetrician is.
I had a bloke as well.
There's either a drug, a hormone that they can put in, which is meant to, again, trick
the body into starting labor.
Our obstetrician, and again, I want to put it very clear, this was our experience, the
advice we were given.
You take your medical advice the way you need.
He said he doesn't like to do the hormone one because he has seen sometimes it doesn't
work.
And then you're sort of in this limbo.
The balloon, 10 years my obstetrician had been in, I reckon Godfrey's probably similar,
10 years in the biz.
Yeah.
He's never seen the balloon fail.
It is literally.
And it's actually a balloon?
It is literally, I don't know what material it is, but let's call it like a water balloon.
Yeah.
Catheter.
So what it is connected to, it's in your vajutsi and then it's connected to a stream of water
that is gradually expanding.
Expands it.
Expanding.
God, that'd be uncomfortable.
It is a physical, physiological widening of the passage of the cervix
to tell your body, we're getting ready here.
It tricks your body into doing it.
It tricks your body.
So I.
Babs, it's horrifying.
I've had goosebumps the whole chat.
Yeah, you have been, yeah.
It's pretty amazing.
And yeah, quite uncomfortable.
And Babs, I know you've had some hectic period pain in your life having endo.
I'm very lucky I haven't.
And they said to me, you might start feeling some cramps.
And I go, oh yeah, bro.
Oh, at night?
Because you're in overnight when you have that, hey?
Overnight and at 9pm my water broke.
Not usually a thing.
Oh yeah.
But I must have been so ready that my body went, oh, we're on here.
So you were just hanging out with this balloon?
Yeah.
But once the, so it was probably maybe.
For Jess's, Angus actually blew it.
So he was like.
He just had to give a puff every, like we're watching the Italian job.
Yeah, he just gave it a puff.
So he was just.
Oh, Jason, save them, do it now.
Pause it.
Yeah, yeah.
Handsome Rob.
Yeah, I'll be asleep.
Handsome Rob.
But yeah, at 9pm we were like, oh, we'll go to sleep now.
And my water broke.
And so we had to call the nurses
and they went,
oh, that's not usually what happens.
Going to send you back down,
get it removed.
Oh, she had to go back down again.
Because my water broke.
I was ready.
Yeah, right.
So it'll be interesting to see
whether she has to stay with it all night
because it's just doing its thing.
Yeah.
Or, if maybe like me,
ready to go when her water breaks
and they'll remove it then.
Interesting.
So the balloon's not mechanical
or hooked up to a machine.
No, it's just hooked up to this water driplet.
So you know the pretty incredible Rob or whoever we got in?
What's his name?
The amazing Jono.
The amazing Jono.
They're just like balloons like Jono would use.
In fact, Jono's coming in to do ours.
You keep inviting this cast of people.
I know.
I've got Babs in there.
I've got Sean.
I can't keep up with who's coming.
I'm the only one not in there.
I guess someone has to be on the radio.
I like that you're not so we can tell you the story so we can be content.
You know, it's a surprise.
It's a surprise for you.
That's a sacrifice.
And also, you'd like being in there, whereas these two would fucking hate it, which is
why it's funny.
Yeah, yeah.
I actually, there's, I'd be interested to see Morgan's reaction after this.
I can't see her going this way.
Yeah.
But once you're in there, and truly it is the most surreal, magical, unbelievable thing.
I've seen your photos.
I asked for a, remember I tried to get a photographer?
Yes.
And she unfortunately had a wedding.
And she goes, does it have to be that day?
Can you do it the Friday?
I'm like, no, sis, sorry.
We're getting it to take photos.
We're taking photos because.
In that moment, I was like, could I do this as a side hustle?
Like, could I be.
Oh, take photos of it.
Oh, okay.
Well, you can come too.
I would just.
I'm so glad you did a maternity shoot.
Yeah, we did that yesterday.
And we're going to talk about that soon.
It was right on air, yeah.
Because honestly, it's miraculous.
Any of the iPhone has that amazing feature which just bats up a memory.
So sometimes one of my birth photos is batted up as a memory.
Just pops up.
There it is.
In the face.
Not even like this time two years ago.
It's just, hey, here's a random picture for a Tuesday.
Yeah, yeah.
Wild. It, yeah. Wild.
It's unbelievable.
Well, I'm excited because when Morgan does get the balloon, it's apparently all night,
pretty uncomfortable.
So he's like, you won't be sleeping much, but the Masters Golf is on in America, so
it's on overnight.
So I'll just be like, we'll have that on in the studio, you know?
Yep.
I was going to say studio in the birth suite.
I remember you saying the bag is packed for Morgan and the baby.
And me.
Is the bag packed for you?
I've just got, Morgan reckons I don't need that much.
She doesn't want me to take up much room.
And she says I can come home and get more stuff.
I'm going to have the clothes I've been wearing.
You won't want to leave.
That's what I said.
Please message me.
I'll bring you whatever.
Okay.
Maybe I'll bring a bag in here so then you can bring my go bag.
Great idea.
Yes.
And I'm worried about your snacks.
What are we talking about snacks?
Have you got?
I wanted to ask because that, yeah.
She will be hungry.
Hungry.
That's what I've said.
Boys feeding is unbelievably hard.
What do you reckon?
Like we're going to get a few bananas.
We've got a few of these pregnancy, they're collagen bites.
They're like protein bar things.
They're really nice.
And that's the thing.
Like I was having four meals a day.
Like as in I was that hungry.
I am a hungry lady.
What was Angus eating?
Because they said to me, you don't get fed and then you need to get food in.
Very lucky, you know, I can afford private health or whatever.
I don't know what the pays for because they did not feed Angus. And it was so brutal. whatever. I don't know what the fuck it pays for because they did not feed Angus.
And it was so brutal.
Lovely, I don't know if she's a nurse, whoever comes around with some food
would come in and go, hello, darling.
Only look at me.
Angus is right there holding the baby probably.
Hello, sweetheart.
Can I get you some afternoon tea?
We've got cakes.
We've got cookies, coffee, tea, juice.
What would you like?
I said, oh, can I have a cup of tea and a chocolate chip cookie, please?
Absolutely. And then would leave the room. And I'm going. What about him? said, oh, can I have a cup of tea and a chocolate chip cookie, please? Absolutely.
And then would leave the room.
And I'm going.
What about him?
Yeah, I know.
I understand he didn't do anything, but he's also in this journey with me.
Yeah, I know.
Not even a cookie.
I'm going to be chiming the pants off the fucking nurses.
So you know what he would do?
I'm going to be getting food.
He would eat my leftovers and then we would order more food.
And we'd get that together.
Maybe I need you for food delivery.
I'm happy to do it.
My parents are here and stuff, but they don't know Mayfield West like you do.
You know the first person to meet my child was the Mayfield West boys?
Yeah, that's funny as.
Because they brought me a huge feed because I was hungry.
Are you going to come to the hospital?
Only if I'm invited.
I will never ask.
I mean, I don't know how it will feel in the moments, but I'm keen.
I'm happy to bring you food and leave it at the front door.
I mean, I don't know when's appropriate.
I'll have to, because Morgan reckons we're going to be in there for like five nights.
Yeah, that's what we did.
And that's what you're allowed to do.
And she wants help with like latching of my nipples.
And hopefully it does go the way she would like.
But if you're a cesarean, you might even be a bit longer.
I forgot to tell you.
Fuck, I forgot to tell you this on air.
But anyway, it's funny.
Yesterday when we were having the meeting with the obstetrician and the midwife, the
midwife was like, do you know what Jess had with latching?
How were Jess's like areolas and latching?
I was like, fuck, I can't.
And she's like asking me about you while Morgan's there.
You know this, Ducco.
The inverted nipples.
I said you dried up.
I said you dried up.
Yeah, that was seven months out of the trip.
And I talked about that.
I remember the plunger.
Yeah, so your nipple, you didn't have a long nipple, did you?
No.
No, yes.
They were in.
We did say that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
33 years I've been alive.
Grow up, guys.
33 years.
No, this podcast is really just swings and roundabouts. It comes and doesn't it? 33 years I've been alive. Grow up, guys. 33 years. This podcast really just swings them round about.
It comes and does it.
33 years I've been alive.
Never knew that about my own nipples.
Babs, do you know if yours are inverted or not?
I don't know.
We'll just show Jess right now and just let her know.
Let me try and have a suckle and I'll tell you.
Fucking hell.
When my daughter, when Luchey was trying.
How would you not know, though?
Would you know?
Wouldn't you tell?
I just thought my boobs were my boobs, right?
I didn't realise that the nipple should always technically be a little protrusion.
I didn't know because I only know my boobs, really.
And I just thought everyone's boobs were unique.
More out.
But she was saying that's why African women who have really long nips,
it's easy for them to breastfeed.
100%.
My spouts were not conducive to making it easy for her to latch.
Did you have the shield?
But I got this unbelievable, I didn't like the shield.
And I found the shield, it looks like that.
Imagine the spout of a Frank Green water bottle.
Yeah, just popping out.
And it's plastic.
And I got a bit weird about, obviously they're medical grade, but I got a bit weird about
Lucia using that.
Fair enough, yeah.
I didn't like it.
I kept trying.
And then a girlfriend had bought this unbelievable device.
Have you heard of letdown?
Is that a word?
It can happen with a lot of women.
I don't think it's every woman.
Everyone's different.
While you're breastfeeding off the left, your right might just start leaking.
But because it's gold.
Babs is hating everything.
This is so good.
It's educational for you at 23.
Everything you say, Babs, is like, I don't want kids.
I don't want kids.
It's unbelievable what the body, man.
So she's suckling off the left, but your right doesn't know.
It's almost just like the tap is on.
So there's a device you can buy to capture the letdown because you don't waste
it.
For sure.
But that is a suction cup, so it acts as a plunger almost, so you can use a double whammy,
double function to pop the nipple out using like a vacuum seal.
It's unbelievable.
Aren't I crazy?
Crazy.
Have you seen those clips online?
These are real cooked, where the mum believes in the dad getting the breast milk as well,
so she's breastfeeding a baby on one
nipple and the husband's sucking the other.
Fucking cooked.
That is cooked. Bodybuilders will pay
a pretty penny for breast milk.
Well, you guys all know that one of you's doing
a shot of Morgan's breast milk, and I just might
not tell you when, or who, or how,
but...
Maybe it's the one milk you cook.
It cures your IBS.
Babs goes up, can I get a flat white on Morgan's breast milk please
Do you reckon it would froth well
Let's find out
How frothable is breast milk
But no it is just
This has been a 17 minute chat
I'm really upset you didn't remember about the
You couldn't answer that question
Yeah me too because it was just funny
When she was like, literally.
It's so funny how we come up in each other's lives when we're not.
What did Jess get?
Like, it was so normal asking about another woman while my wife's there.
Well, you know what's funny?
Serendipitous.
My due date was a Sunday and my obstetrician a week out went, I'm not working that weekend.
So if you do go into spontaneous labor, you'll probably have Malcolm Godfrey.
Hilarious.
Who is yours.
My obstetrician.
What the fuck did I just pay health insurance for to not get the dude on game
day?
That I wanted.
I know.
That's partly why we did an induction.
Because I went, no, no, it's you, bro.
If our baby comes Friday night into Saturday, he's off.
Unacceptable.
I know.
I know.
It's crazy.
The reason you do it is for continuity of care.
A hundred percent.
Not so you get Matt Holland on game day who you've never met before.
Exactly.
I can attest, he's wonderful.
That's who I had.
But still.
We did get him.
I know.
Crazy.
It's wild.
Knowing your luck.
I know.
I know.
I know.
Anyway, another question.
We've learned a lot today.
Yeah, Babs, do you have any other questions about the female body?
No, I'm good.
Babs is never having children.
Welcome to it, team.
Welcome to Tuesday.
Welcome to the 8th of April.
Yeah.
It's wonderful to be here with you.
Always good.
It is a privilege, a pleasure, and an honour.
Absolutely it is.
An absolute honour.
Strength and honour.
Strength and honour. It is a privilege, a privilege, a pleasure, and an honour.
I like that.
A privilege, a pleasure, and an pleasure. And an honour. I like that. A privilege, a pleasure and an honour.
And an honour.
I'm coming off the back of an excellent dinner, Ducker.
Excellent.
A 10 out of 10 dinner.
One of my girlfriends is in town because she's in the HQ for Mecca.
So, you know, she goes around the country,
even pops over to New Zealand every now and then to set up new stores.
So she's in town.
Mecca's just a moneymaker, isn't it?
Lotions and potions.
Lotions and potions.
They are one of the few businesses that did unbelievably well in COVID.
Because remember all that research?
We were staring at ourselves on FaceTime and Zoom.
And what was that one for a hot second?
Remember House Party?
House Party was great times.
That app for two minutes.
Yeah, everyone could be on together at the same time.
Yeah, we were all staring at our faces so much on these apps that everyone went, I've
got to get a new lotion and potion.
I need something else.
So Mecca absolutely boomed.
So she goes around the country and sets up new stores.
Right.
So she's in town.
I said, well, let me cook you a lamb.
Let's hang out.
And by me, I mean Angus.
Of course.
So we had the lamb dinner.
Roast potatoes.
First time I've tried the duck fat.
Oh, good hate.
Of the roast potatoes.
Yeah, that's elite.
I see what all the fuss is about.
It is elite.
It's more effort, but it's elite.
Couldn't agree more.
Oh my.
But like, nothing else going on.
Just the duck fat and I sprinkled some rosemary.
I know.
So I'm riding high today, my friend. You know what a good dinner
does for me the following morning? I've got a pep in my step.
How much pep is in your step? I was seeing your busy afternoon.
I was filming yesterday. I was filming with the solar company. Got a bunch of solar installed in the house.
I was working with them and then I was filming some content. I was swarming around in a bathrobe.
The bathrobe and it was a beautiful afternoon.
Yeah, yeah.
So it just looked very lush.
All the guys from Resync were there just doing their job on my roof doing so and I'm in a
bathrobe and gown just cruising around.
Be honest with me.
Yeah.
Anything underneath the bathrobe?
Luckily I did have pants because I was like, just in case.
Okay, okay.
Didn't want a ball to pop out.
In case there was a stiff breeze.
I'm not as proud of it as Shy Guy, you know?
I mean, it was a lovely afternoon, but all you need is a slight...
Yeah.
And those tradies get a nice little eyeful of the duck man.
And then, yes, I had that all day.
I was filming that.
And then I'll unpack it on the show later on,
but we did a bit of a photo shoot yesterday.
Which, it's...
Morgan's 38 weeks this week, isn't she?
Correct.
It's taken 38 weeks to convince her to do a photo shoot.
Yeah.
But you've got one.
We've got one.
I'll unpack it because Pam came along.
Obviously, we have Pam in there.
You know what?
When I saw you share a little sneak peek, beautiful pic on the beach, my first thought,
selfishly, was, oh my God, I didn't get Gianni involved in ours, but I got Ducko.
Remember?
We did.
That's right.
I was there.
To be fair, we were bloody two hours from home.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So no, dog. That's right. And to be fair, we were bloody two hours from home. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So no, dog.
That's nice.
Pam was nice.
And Pam, man, she was also in some of the solo videos I did yesterday.
And she was like the most well-behaved I've ever seen her.
Does she need a manager?
She sat on cue.
She sat on cue and then followed the camera around and sat next to me while I was there
like laughing, drinking a beer.
She needs a manager.
She does.
Do we have agents for our four-legged friends?
We can get them.
You know, like the dog from Frasier.
Oh, yep. I can't think of one other
pet in a sitcom. There was a monkey in something.
There was a monkey in Friends, wasn't there? Yes, Friends,
yes. So the animals would have agents, right?
And management. At least they've got some form of management.
Because who's replying to their emails?
And they were loving Pam. Everyone was loving her.
Would you put Pam, and
by extension, your child about to be born,
in like modelling or any of those sort of things to do ads?
I'd 100% put Pam in because she has the saddest face too.
She'd need to be in an ad for like doggy depression or like advertising pills.
Or the doggy tree, you know, or the doggy mattress.
Is your dog sad and unhappy?
Just a shot of Pam?
And the shots are all in black and white and then they get the new mattress and they're bouncing around and they're happy.
Yeah.
She was excited on the beach running around.
I would do that with Pam.
I don't know about my kid, I guess.
I mean, I think I'm going to be honest enough when my child comes out to know if they're
good with me or not.
I'm an ugly one, honey.
And then when they get to four or five and start saying, I want to do dance or I want
to do drama or I want to do acting.
You don't have it in you.
Sorry.
You trust me?
You don't have it.
That's not for you.
I remember submitting Lucia for the Bonds baby search and she did not get a call back and I'm like, stuff you guys.
Two years in a row, wasn't it?
I've never bought Bonds again.
Fair enough.
Fair enough.
I thought she was going to get through.
Oh, come on.
That's a cute kid.
I mean, I know parents.
We say we'll be able to be honest, but we've got the rose-colored glasses on.
You just can't tell.
They're always cute.
You can't tell.
Yeah, I know.
How are you going today, Shaga?
Good.
Hey, how's the limp, Slim?
Yeah, how's the limp?
They're much better today.
Did you drain them out yesterday?
A bit of a massage?
No, I went for a very long walk, though.
Okay.
Yeah, okay, good.
Get some magnesium into you? No. What about long walk, though. Okay. Yeah, okay, good. Get some magnesium into you?
No.
What about onto you?
No.
Okay.
Whatever you do with magnesium.
Did you rub it on you?
Did you consume it?
Did you stick it up somewhere?
I came over last night and gave him a rub, obviously, and then I left.
Well, we're a team here.
Yeah, we've got to do what we've got to do.
And as we said, when one cog is compromised, the other cogs suffer, so it's nice of you
to...
Yeah, I can walk today, which is good.
That's wonderful. Speaking of suffering cogs, Bab So it's nice of you to... Yeah, I can walk today, which is good. That's wonderful.
Speaking of suffering cogs, Babs watched White Lotus finale last night, as did I.
Shook.
And she spent a lot of last night crying.
You came in this morning and you guys were speaking another language.
Shaga and I...
Oh, man.
There was a bit on last night.
Babs, how are we?
Not good.
My eyes hurt from crying.
Yeah.
From crying?
Yeah.
As in you were sad the series was finished?
No, it was just a disgusting episode.
Who died?
What happened?
Oh.
Yeah.
They killed off Coolidge last season.
Yeah.
They're killing off someone else.
It was...
Oh, I guess they've killed off someone every season, haven't they?
It sort of is like a murder mystery, but it's not because there's only a murder mystery
involving one part.
Right.
It's a show about everything and nothing.
Yes.
Yeah.
Oh, it's a great show. Oh, Babs, that's a big Monday evening for you. It was. It's a show about everything and nothing. Yes, yeah. It's a great show.
Oh, Babs, that's a big Monday evening for you.
It was.
It was a big Monday evening.
All right.
We're here.
We're here.
Hey, it's Tuesday, everyone's favourite day of the week.
Great attitude, Duck.
What did we say?
A privilege, a pleasure, an honour to be here.
Alpha Box, your chance at 10k coming up, 6.30 and 8.
Plus, we have those tickets and accommodation in Sydney to see MJ,
the musical.
Change of rules there. It's just a co-fold. 13, 10, 60. Get involved. You in Sydney to see MJ, the musical. Change of rules there.
It's just a co-file.
13, 10, 60.
Get involved.
You're in with a chance.
Get involved.
It's absolutely phenomenal.
Yeah.
But yes, so much to come.
Up next, there's a thread going around.
What would you be if you came back in the afterlife?
Reincarnation.
Yeah, it can be anything.
Yes.
And I want to go around with the team.
Oh, that's a great one.
Let's just discuss it.
Let's get deep. Let's get deep. Babs is already crying, so we may anything. And I want to go around with the team. Oh, that's a great one. Let's just discuss it. Let's get deep.
Let's get deep.
Babs is already crying, so we may as well.
I know.
There's been a fun article doing the rounds.
I just thought we could do it as a team for no reason other than it's good times.
If you passed away and came back reincarnated, what do you think you'd come back as?
It can be anything.
Animal, object, whatever you want.
I'm going to get philosophical with you here, Duckman.
Do you believe in reincarnation?
Not really. I mean, I'd like to.
What do you think happens after we die?
A big fat nothing.
I mean, obviously I know I'm going straight to heaven
because I was a Eucharistic minister.
So we haven't connected with the Catholicism
since we left what you said.
But when I need them,
I'm going up. I don't mind the reincarnation theory.
You come back as something else.
Do you remember this life?
I don't know.
Very deep for a Tuesday.
I did that 10-day meditation course in India.
Buddhism, believe in reincarnation.
So, you know, I'm a big...
Yeah, you come back?
I'm believing in that, yeah.
I like reincarnation.
That's a fun one to believe in.
I also like the idea of ghosts and spirits
and you're just hanging out in the afterlife, watching your loved ones and family. That's a bit of to believe in. I also like the idea of ghosts and spirits and you're just hanging out in the afterlife
watching your loved ones and family.
That's a bit of fun.
Yeah, that's a bit of fun.
So if you were to come back, let's say reincarnation does happen.
You would come back.
What are you coming back as?
What I'd like to come back as, because I don't think we have a say.
It's based on how well we've lived our lives.
And you are, well, at least Buddhism believe.
If you have lived a good life.
What's good?
Well, good and pure and you've been a good person.
Not so much successful.
Cash, money, bitches.
Good person.
Right, right.
You'll come back as a human being because that is like the highest form of life.
Whereas if you've been a naughty boy, if you've been a killer,
if you've been embezzling from old ladies, you'll come back as a dung beetle
because you'll be punished.
I see.
I don't quite remember the gap between you have to be a really good dung beetle to then
get reincarnated back as a human.
Oh, so you can work your way up.
You can work your way up around.
If it's dung beetle's base, we can work our way up.
I'm pretty sure dog is just before human.
Okay.
So it's like you were decent enough, you became a dog.
I didn't even mind.
And then you're a real good dog, you become a human.
Coming back as a dog would be, you know, like some people said, golden retriever, upper
middle class family.
Bang.
Always get fed.
And that's the thing.
It does depend, obviously, which family you get stuck with.
A yappy dog.
Paris Hilton's dog, you know?
That's got to be, you know, you're living the life of luxury.
Yes.
For me, I haven't gone living, breathing thing.
I'd like to come back as a cheese grater because they don't have to work particularly hard.
I see.
They stay there.
It's the missionary of things, isn't it?
They stay there while something works over them.
You look like a real...
And they just deliver the goods.
You're delivering the goods.
You get all the credit, but I'm not actually working that hard.
And you're constantly covered in cheese.
Yeah, that's fun.
I feel like that's a pretty decent living.
You'd be one of those big four silver ones.
It's like you stand, it's like the four block.
I know I want to be a microplane.
Oh.
Because that feels like the fancy one.
Oh, okay.
I'm a fancy lady.
I think you're a fancy grader.
What about you?
If you were to be reincarnated, what would you like to come back to?
Straight up animal.
I think I would be like the leader.
Like King Julian, the leader of the meerkat.
Like just like running a meerkat tribe.
You know I love me.
Is that even Disney Madagascar?
Whatever, he's a lemur.
But you'll make the equivalent for the meerkat.
Yeah.
Just live in your best on a secluded island.
It just fits, you know what I mean?
It absolutely does because there's no human intervention.
We'd get excited when we saw shiny things.
Whoa!
Everyone, look at this thing!
King Julian has made his own little world in an island cut off from humanity.
See?
And I'd be, you'd go to my home and be like, why is Darko a king here?
And they're all below the knee.
Making fun of all the fat hippos.
Yeah.
They can't catch us.
Just from the treetop.
I love that.
You absolutely would be King Julian.
Should I go?
I've always wanted to fly, so I'll be a bird,
but maybe one of those big American eagles.
A bold eagle.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah, illegal to shoot.
And you know what?
Sure.
That's helpful.
They don't walk.
They've got thin legs.
They do.
Which I do too.
Yeah, it's right up there.
You do.
Now, this is where we, that's what he'd like to come back at.
Yeah, yeah.
But what would he come back as?
Obviously a praying mantis.
Yeah, let's be real.
You're an insect.
I've seen a bug's life.
I'll take that.
Yeah, you'll come back
as a praying...
You're a hopper.
It's a real niche
praying mantis.
I'm enjoying all
these references.
You're the one trying
to take over the colony.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
With your tribe.
I'll do that.
My little ant.
I can see you being
a cult leader.
Don't you reckon?
Yeah, you have real cult leader vibes about you. I feel like if he wanted to, he'd be very persuasive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. With your tribe. I'd do that. My little aunt. I can see you being a cult leader. Don't you reckon? Yeah, you have real cult leader vibes about you.
I feel like if he wanted to, he'd be very persuasive.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know?
I can see that.
All the ladies be flocking.
All the female grasshoppers.
My goodness.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that does fit.
Sweet grasshopper love.
Babs, what are you coming back as?
So limmy.
Now, have you thought about this as what you actually would be coming back as?
Yeah, I have.
Okay, what is it?
I'm thinking a panda.
Because then you can kind of like eat in the trees and be a bit chubby and it's okay.
And pandas, they can't get out of the way quick.
Like you.
They do linger.
I could see you being a panda.
How do you feel about, you know, the survival of your species though, Babs?
This doesn't fit.
The survival of your species is relying on you doing the deed
and more often than not in captivity in front of a bunch of zookeepers.
Yeah.
You know?
Maybe not.
Yeah, that would be tough for you.
That would be tough.
Babs that get captured in the wild, brought to a zoo,
being like the survival, the dependence on pandas not going extinct,
we need this panda to be active.
Active.
Do something.
We got a dud panda. We got a dud panda.
We got a dud panda.
Have you seen pandas?
They sit at dining tables and stuff.
Like they sit down together to eat.
Have you seen those videos?
Pandas.
What do you like in nature?
They make their own little dining.
In a zoo.
Picturing like a big leaf sat out at the table top.
Jess and Ducko.
Hey, it's Babs.
And this is my blog.
Commence Operation Superstar Brats. She's up, it's Babs. And this is my blog. Men's Operation Superstar Brat Slay.
She's up against it today.
Yeah.
Big, big night of some television viewing.
White Lotus last night got her, we won't give any spoilers about it, but got her emotional.
Crying at her boyfriend's share house.
Yeah, that's tough.
Only to be made fun of.
Yeah.
The Slay Queen just can't be made fun of at her boyfriend's house.
I wasn't slaying.
Yeah, no, you were not.
You were not slaying.
Hey, there are different ways to slay.
Yeah.
Anyway, today I want to discuss Robert Irwin's bonds campaign.
I was waiting for this.
I was waiting for it.
To be fair.
No, because, like, I mean, you've been talking,
you've talked about Lafayette Bits and it's been on.
Yeah, well, I mean.
Her whole feed, she's just been sharing.
Well, that's all I've seen.
Like, for the last four days on TikTok, on Instagram,
is this photo shoot.
But have you read the comments on the original?
For anyone who doesn't know.
Oh, sorry.
For anyone that doesn't know, Robert Irwin posted some photos.
They're a little bit risque, you know, at 21 years old.
No one thought that sweet Robert Irwin would bring out photos of him
in his undies.
Some of those ads are photoshopped, yeah.
Well, that's a...
It doesn't feel, to be maybe fair to Robert,
it doesn't feel part of him to photoshop,
particularly when it's like,
it's going to be so publicly torn apart.
So maybe he did, you know,
like when the men do the cover of Men's Health
and they go on like a six-week,
whatever the opposite of a bender is,
and they dehydrate and then it's all that?
I reckon it's however Babs, you have an insight into whether it's real or not.
Oh, well, that was just a question that's been circulating online as well.
So basically I kind of digged down last night because I just wanted to see,
you know, more about it, what the campaign was for,
but also some of the comments on it.
You want to see if there were smaller undies maybe?
What is this campaign for? some of the comments on it. You want to say if they were smaller undies maybe. What is this campaign for?
I best dig down on it.
Yeah, this campaign actually marks the launch of Bonds in the US.
So they're doing it because they're going to start selling it in the US.
Oh, the Irwins are huge in the US.
Yes, so that's why they've gotten Robert to jump on Bond
because they think, you know.
Is he still big over there?
Because Steve was obviously big over there.
Steve was big.
Bindi won Dancing with the Stars America a number of years ago.
You'll love this story.
Controversy.
When there was a little sound and everyone was like,
did Bindi just fart?
Did she fart herself on stage?
Is that why she's not done anything since?
No.
Where's she been?
The sentiment around the Irwins still in the States, humongous.
I mean, both their partners, obviously, Terry is.
Yes, Terry's American.
Terry's the bulldog. And Chandler. Yeah, yeah. And they had a reality show, Crikey at the Irwous. I mean, both their partners, obviously, Terry is from the US as well. Yes, Terry's American. Terry's the bulldog.
And Chandler.
Yeah, yeah.
And they had a reality show, Crikey at the Irwin.
They did, yes.
Huge on Animal Planet in America.
But not huge here.
Isn't that so funny?
Yeah.
So basically, the original post has over 23K comments alone.
It's heaps.
And over 300K shares all like sent to other people, which is quite funny.
Thank you for breaking that down.
That's Babs sending it to all her friends.
Look at this, look at this.
Multiple, multiple times.
Anyway, some of the comments on the post were like, so Greg Page, the yellow wiggle actually commented on it.
Oh, the OG yellow wiggle.
And he said, I don't see what the fuss is all about with laughing emojis.
Someone said, seeing this feels illegal.
Someone said, putting my 38 year old ass in timeout for looking at these.
Yeah, yeah.
Because we saw him grow up as a kid.
Absolutely.
So now you see this, you're like, ah.
Remember that vision of Steve holding Bob when they're feeding the clock?
Yeah, he was a little baby with a bob cut.
He's been in the public eye since he was a baby.
Well, that's what someone said.
Someone said, Robert, I literally watched your mother guest state you,
so put your clothes on.
I don't mind if a branching out and getting a bit risque,
showing off the rig.
Absolutely.
What I'd like to know is the dollar dollar bills, y'all.
As the face of this campaign where you're showing that much flesh,
I wonder how much bonds paid.
Well, we were talking about this yesterday in the office with Boss Jase,
actually.
Of course, Boss Jase.
Let's talk about that one.
We don't actually know,
but Shy Guy was saying that Terry is his manager, so might have been getting
a cut of that as well. Well, she's the original
Christiana.
She's the mummager. No, she is.
She definitely is.
I have no idea how much she got from him. And doesn't he not want to be called Bob
anymore? It's Robert, isn't it? Oh, I didn't know that.
Oh, I thought it was, we're calling him Robert.
When I went to, I was in with Tayshia and I was at the
wax museum figure at Madame Tussauds in Sydney. Yes.
He just had his. Yes. And they said, you're not allowed
to call him Bob. It's Robert. He goes
by Robert. I'm like, okay. I guess.
Shut up, Bob. The Irwins
represent to everyone else in the
world the thing Australia is
famous for. The animals, the wildlife.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're blonde, we're laid back,
we're all gorgeous. Yeah, we're chill. We're blonde, we're laid back, we're all gorgeous.
We're chill.
But all the thirst traps have been crazy.
Your friends, 23 years old, are they liking it? Because he's your age.
He's your Nicky Webster.
He's actually younger than me. He's 21.
But for me to look at it, I don't feel as
weird. But I guess for you
guys, it would be odd.
I mean, that one where he's hugging the giant lace monitor.
What gets you going?
Is it the lace monitor that gets you going?
It's not even the...
Is it the python?
Or is it the python?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Does Jethro, your boyfriend, know that you like these photos?
I'm not saying I like them.
I'm just saying it's an interesting campaign.
Did you know he was single?
It is an interesting campaign. Did you know he was single? It is an interesting campaign.
It is.
Yeah, well, he is single.
It's interesting and I am interested.
It just says that.
Yeah, fair enough.
But it's working, right?
It is.
Absolutely working.
People are talking about it.
Absolutely.
When he goes in to renegotiate his I'm a celebrity contract,
another zero on the end of that.
And didn't you say there was a girl who got involved who did this as well,
but now no one?
Yes. So there was.
Rapper?
Yes.
TK Maitza?
Yes.
There was a female equivalent, and I've seen nothing about it.
You're absolutely right.
News.com has put her at the very end of the article.
Which is actually quite sad because they're nice photos too.
Yeah.
She's got the big snake.
Yeah, she also has animals in there.
Oh, come on.
There's enough snake to go around.
Jess and Taco in the morning.
Jess and Ducko's 10K Alpha Bucks on It.
Alpha Bucks.
Yes.
Let's let it rain, baby.
30 seconds, 10 questions, all starting with the same letter.
Have to take your first answer.
You cannot use the same answer twice.
And if you're unsure of the question, say pass.
We come back if there's time.
We're playing for 10K.
Our player today, Jess, look at this.
Thank God.
She's here, everyone.
Sit up straight or shy, guys.
It's Taylor.
Hello, Taylor.
Morning, Rice Cookers.
How are we?
Hey.
We couldn't be better.
Why have you kept us waiting so long?
Every morning we say, is she going to cook today?
Is it Taylor's day?
Is it Taylor's day?
And today it is.
It's a day.
Thanks, guys.
Happy to be here.
It's good to have you on.
Happy being here.
You been well?
You been good?
As well as I can be.
I'm in a similar situation to Morgan, just not as far along.
Okay.
Congratulations.
I'm a big crook.
Thank you.
How far along are you, Taylor?
I'll be 25 weeks tomorrow.
Oh, nice. Do you know what you be 25 weeks tomorrow. Oh, nice.
Congratulations.
Do you know what you're having?
No.
Oh, exciting.
Very exciting.
It's very exciting.
Well, feels like a redundant question, but what do you want to spend $10,000 on?
My husband and I, we just bought a house as well, so either going off the mortgage or
maybe doing up a nursery.
The baby will follow. That's a busy time for Taylor.
Yeah, new house.
Oh, my God.
New baby.
New baby.
It's all happening.
Taylor, the letter you're going to work with today, it's N.
N for new baby.
Okay.
Okay?
Okay.
Come on.
Does that feel good?
So, trying to.
Sure.
All right, just relax.
Mind over matter, Taylor.
Yeah, bring it. Your time will start after the first question.
Starting with the letter N, we need you to name a country.
Navidia.
A periodic element.
Pass.
A verb.
Pass.
A girl's name.
Nina.
An NRL player.
Nathan Smith. A fruit. Pass. A body part. Nathan Smith.
Pass.
Me.
Nintendo.
Normal.
Nike.
Pass.
No.
Damn it. We've got a bit to look at.
Damn it.
The old Nathan Smith.
I'm going to blame...
Yeah, that was just...
Nathan, Mr. NRL, Nathan Smith.
I mean...
Look, I want to check.
There actually might be a Nathan Smith.
There could be.
I don't know one.
An up-and-comer who doesn't make headlines.
Yeah, let's just Google that just in case.
Look, I think we've got five.
Can I claim, baby brain?
You can. Absolutely, you can. It won't get you $10,000, though, Taylor. It'll get just in case. Look, I think we got five. Can I claim baby brain? You can.
It won't get you $10,000 though, Taylor.
It'll get you five out of ten though.
And then where else did we go wrong?
Oh, the knee, K and E.
Oh, my God.
You know.
A body part could have been neck.
Look, a periodic element, nitrogen, a verb could have been nod, nap, nibble,
something doing, a fruit nectarine.
Apart from that, everything else you did answer.
Can't see an NRL player called Nathan Smith, unfortunately.
Babs found a cricket player, unfortunately.
There's a few, yeah.
Lock that one away next time you play, Taylor.
Cricket player might come up.
Yeah, that's a tough one.
Hey, look, Baby Brain.
It gets us all.
I mean, Baby Brain pulled out Narwhal, though.
That deserves to be commended.
Yes, it does.
Well done to you.
Yes, it does. And you to you. Yes, it does.
And you don't go away empty-handed, Taylor.
$100 to spend at Hair House.
That is all yours.
Thank you guys so much.
Thank you.
Have a great day, and best of luck to you, Daco.
Thank you, Taylor.
Best of luck to you as well.
Hope it all goes well.
Yeah, thank you.
We do play again, 8 o'clock this morning.
Yes.
And I do have an update as well.
I saw the obstetrician yesterday.
I got a hands-on-hands technique.
You did say you were doing a demo?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You were doing a practice?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I straddled him.
What?
Tell me you had the, what's it?
The ghost.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, my, no.
My darling.
Yeah, I just came with it.
Mortgage there in the corner, playing it on her iPhone.
I came with my dirty speaker and I was just playing it.
Anyway, that's coming up later.
Stop thrusting, Duggo.
Sorry, Doc.
He took his scrubs off.
He didn't.
He's probably listening.
Just a schmear of clay on the...
Where did clay come from?
Morgan's lying on the bed waiting to get her cervix checked.
What are you guys doing?
Oh, you're here, honey.
Oh, sorry.
Could you go?
Malcolm and I are having a moment.
Jess and Ducco.
Just really quickly, I've just got to put it out there.
Yes.
Nash texted Ducco.
Oh, yeah.
Nathan Smith is an NRL player.
Oh.
Well, at least used to be.
Okay.
So.
Who's done the Googling on the team?
Who said he was a cricket player?
Who said he's a cricket player? Who said he's a cricket player?
Which one?
Who is it?
It was me.
Yeah.
Did you type in Nathan Smith NRL?
No.
Okay.
Well, when we fact check, let's give Google the best chance to help us.
That was in Alphabucks.
Oh, there he is.
Nathan Smith.
Did you type in Nathan Smith cricket?
Because that wasn't the question, Babs.
You type in Nathan Smith and it was the first thing that comes up.
Well, she got that.
Okay.
So thank you to Nash.
You know, we're always looking to learn.
Yeah.
And correct and make sure we award.
So did she actually get five out of ten?
She got six then.
That's six.
She got six.
Well done.
That's good.
Yeah, well done.
And pushing right along, we do have a co-fond.
Yes.
Two tickets to MJ the Musical plus a night's accommodation at the beautiful Novatel Sydney in Darling Harbour.
Get involved any time for your chance to win.
Like right now, 13, 10, 60.
Why'd you see at the lights?
You stopped at the lights.
Yeah.
You looked to your left.
Yeah.
Maybe you looked to the right.
Could have.
And you went, what?
What is that?
Or, like me, you're about to cross the line.
You're a pedestrian.
I was a pedestrian.
Hello.
I never in a million years would have guessed you could have been a pedestrian.
See?
It's crazy like that.
It's better in the works, this story.
I'm there, right?
Where are you walking to?
I was actually walking back from a haircut last week, which none of you commented on
my cut, except for Shy Guy, as always.
Thank you.
No one else.
Not even my wife.
He carries on about it so much that it leaves no compliments for the rest of us.
So sorry.
He sucks all the compliments out of him.
He asked me to send photos straight after I got my cut and I sent it to him.
There's nothing we could say that would eclipse what he says.
Brandon, my barber, big listener of this show, loves the show.
Good morning, Brandon.
And he actually wanted me to tell you.
Remember I told you about Brandon a while ago saying he was on his motorbike license,
got his license and he was on his red peas now?
That's right.
We made fun of him.
He's actually 42. So I said he was on his motorbike license, got his license, and he was on his red peas now. That's right. We made fun of him. He's actually 42.
So I said he was 33.
So I was like, oh, he's like 33, 34.
Or maybe I said he was 37.
What a, he's obviously that youthful.
He's like, mate, I'm older than that.
I appreciate what you did, but I'm actually, I was like,
that's even more tragic you're on your peas.
That's better for the story.
Yeah, better for the story.
Damn it.
I know.
Do you have each other's phone numbers?
Why didn't he text you in the moment?
He's got me on Insta.
If he's such a big listener. He didn't hear it, but he had a lot of Why didn't he text you in the moment? He's got me on Instagram. If he's such a big listener.
He didn't hear it, but he had a lot of mates.
Like Nash, correcting us in the moment.
Brandon, if you're listening now, message me.
Feel free to correct.
I bet you got his age wrong again.
Yeah, I think I probably did.
You don't know the numbers.
Anyway, that's not what I'm talking about.
No, no, you're a pedestrian.
Yes.
What did you see at the lights?
I'm standing there, sweaty god, after the haircut, walking back to work where I parked
the car.
And this guy pulls up in this car.
I can't tell you what car it is, but he had the windows down, music playing.
He looked, he did not look like he'd been on a bender.
He did not look like he was drunk.
He looked pretty normal.
And he looks at me, looks back straight at the road,
picks up his glass of beer.
And I don't mean a can or a bottle.
I mean a fully poured pub schooner in a glass.
What?
Like a schooner glass.
Picks it up, drinks from it, and then puts it back in the cup holder.
And because the lights were red for a while, he had three sips.
I swear he gave me a wink as he's drinking from his schooner glass,
sitting at the lights, and then you drive off.
He could have been implanted at a pub and you wouldn't have blinked an eye.
100%.
But he was in the front seat driving.
Drinking a schooner.
Like a full, probably 4X, drinking a full schooner.
Like in the glass and everything.
And it was full.
He was like sipping it off the brim.
This, I mean, he's living on the edge in multiple regards.
Firstly, obviously we know you can't drink and drive.
But more so, how open the vessel is.
How's the kahunas on him?
Just to be like, I don't care.
I like it in a schooner.
Can I have a time of day check, please?
This would have been, well, I got my haircut.
When do I, I got a cheesy white scroll with Chaga and Babs.
Hang on a minute.
I'm 45.
This is a breakfast beer.
Yeah, this would have been about 11.
11.30.
10.30, 11.
I don't even know.
It's a pre-lunch.
Yeah, pubs would be belly open.
Either he's cracked a beer at his house, poured it in that schooner glass because he likes it in the glass.
What have we always said?
The vessel does change your experience with the liquid.
And I can't blame him for that.
But, I mean, drinking and driving with the vessel, like just an open...
And with the window down.
Yep.
How brazen.
And then he took the turn very normally.
Like he wasn't, I was like...
He wasn't worried about spillage.
Yep.
I could not believe what I saw.
That's amazing.
It was, it was, it was, I was truly like, I wanted to film it, but he was staring at me and I was like, I don't even want to film him right now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He would have loved that probably.
This is a showboater.
Yeah, it was a moment in time.
Babs, you shared something the other day.
Didn't you see something wild at the lights?
Yeah, I saw some guy's nipples.
That's it.
It's a lot different.
What happened?
It wasn't the same guy, was it?
I mean, after you've had a few sips of beer,
that probably feels like a good idea.
Yeah, we were just driving and pulled up next to this
Hummer and this guy was just out the window
with his shirt up, just showing me his nipples.
I love that. Was he singing
Pink Pony Club?
As he's cruising along? I mean, he saw
Babs and went, I know what this lady wants.
She wants some more nipples. What do you think of this
one, Ducko? Mallory got in touch.
Yeah.
I like the name Mallory.
Once my mum and I witnessed a man giving himself a happy ending.
Stop it.
In his car right next to us at the light.
Stop it.
His mobile number was written on the car.
It must have been a branded vehicle, company vehicle.
So I rang the number and said, I can see you in a creepy voice.
That's so cooked.
How wild is that?
He's there going for it.
Was he driving?
He must have been.
Has to have been.
People live on the edge, man.
Have you ever seen a couple in a car having a bit of, like the lady in the front seat
down on the, while he's driving?
I have not.
Only in movies.
I'm living in the real world, Ducco.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, it happens.
It happens.
13, 10, 60.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What'd you see at the lights?
Maybe you're crazy like Ducco and you were a pedestrian at the time.
Or like Mallory, you were in an adjacent vehicle.
I wanted to walk in front of the car, but I couldn't because the little man hadn't gone
green yet.
Oh, no, you can't be jaywalking.
So I was just watching this guy drink his skewy and drive off.
Unbelievable.
What did you see at the lights?
I don't even want to say cheers to that, man.
No.
That's illegal.
It's illegal.
What did you see at the lights?
I'll get you one next.
Jess and Ducko.
Jess and Ducko.
What did you see at the lights?
Maybe you were driving.
You stopped at the lights.
You looked to the left and you went, what is going on?
What?
All like the duck, man.
You're being a well-behaved pedestrian,
waiting for the green man to signal you across.
Post-handcuffs, I'm feeling good.
That's right. I'm strutting my stuff.
You actually didn't, you weren't walking to anywhere.
You just went, hey, everyone, look at this.
I was floating.
Check out this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Strutting.
Strutting my stuff.
Strutting down the street.
And then I saw a guy pull up in his car, windows down,
no music playing, but drinking an open schooner,
a glass from a pub full of beer.
Just drinking it.
Multiple sips.
Beyond it being illegal, the cojones to be driving with a full glass of anything, an
open vessel.
Could not believe it.
Are you crazy?
When I get fur and eat it in my car, I'm parked.
Yeah, yeah.
I finish it before I'm on the move.
Because that's almost illegal too.
Because you can't eat and drive either, can you? I don't think you can. I think you're correct. Yeah. I'll finish it before I'm on the move. Because that's almost illegal too. Because you can't eat and drive either, can you?
I don't think you can.
I think you're correct.
Yeah, I think technically you can't do anything and drive.
I think you're correct, absolutely.
So let alone an open schooner.
An open schooner is completely brazen, but fits the bill.
What did you see at the lights?
Heather on 131060, what did you see at the lights?
Good morning, gang.
I pulled up at a busy intersection and I looked to my right and I saw a girl curling her hair.
So on closer inspection, she actually had an extension cord
running from a generator on the back of, I'm assuming,
her partner's work ute.
Oh, I was going to say, Heather, how she plugged in.
Yeah, it was just so crazy.
I was like, here we are, 2025, saving time.
How good is this?
Hey, man, I mean, I always get really nervous when I see ladies applying mascara in the car.
Because even if you stopped at the lights, just doing anything around your eyeballs, curling your hair,
those things get up to 200 degrees.
With a generator, though?
Oh, with a generator.
That is, I'm almost impressed.
It is impressive.
Thank you, Heather.
That's fantastic.
Dylan, dildog, good morning.
What's going on, Cougars?
Hey, Dylan.
We could not be better.
We're talking about stuff you've seen at the lights.
What have you spotted?
I just picked up the kids from school, and my youngest, he's two turning three,
and he's obsessed with animals.
And he saw a couple of dogs at the lights, which is unusual,
and he's going, Dad, Dad, puppies, puppies.
And I was like, oh, yeah, cool, cool. And then my oldest, he's nine. He's going, dad, dad, puppies, puppies. And I was like, oh yeah, cool, cool.
And then my oldest, he's nine.
He's going, no, dad, there's some dogs there.
They look like they're fighting.
I look over and it's two dogs going at it.
And I'm like, oh God, what are the chances of that?
So I had to explain to him like, oh, the dogs aren't fighting.
Like, that's just how they play.
And that was the longest light change I've ever sat at.
When you say going out, you mean mating?
Yeah, like going at it.
You got a kid on the way, doctor.
You know what I mean.
So this is a different fight.
It's not the birds and the bees. It's the dogs on the dogs chat.
The dogs on the dog.
And that, son, is doggy style.
That's what they do. That's where it comes from.
It's an early education.
What did you learn at school today?
Nothing, but you should have seen what I learned in the car
with Dad on the drive home.
Caitlin,
good morning. Good morning.
Babe, what have you seen at the lights?
Well, in my early
20s, I was just driving
side by side with a car that had a
pretty good looking guy in it.
We kind of made eyes at a few
consecutive lights
and then I saw him kind of made eyes at a few consecutive lights.
And then I saw him kind of doing something on the dashboard, and he actually scribbled down his number and asked me to wind down my window
and threw the number out the window.
And did you see that you'd gone on a date with him?
I actually did go on a date with him.
Oh, my God.
This is amazing.
This is love on the moon.
I'm picturing Caitlin. I've just really got hung up on the plane. Oh, my God. This is amazing. This is love on the moon. I'm picturing Caitlin.
I've just really got hung up on the physics here.
Did he have to scrunch it up like a ball?
Yeah, how did he get it through the window?
Or did he paper plane it?
It's a great throw.
Imagine if you missed.
We were close enough to just reach it with my hand,
to grab it off him.
But, yeah, it was scrunched up.
I didn't know what it was at first.
It could have been anything, really.
It turns out he actually has multiple of those in his car.
He has a lot of those every day.
That's how he picks up.
He's just piffing business cards out.
Call me, Caitlin.
Call me, Caitlin.
Jess and Ducco.
Year of the Song.
Shy Guy's going to throw us a bunch of songs.
We're going to tell him what year they were released.
You can play along.
0-4-8-8-8-1-0-6-9.
What's the theme today, shy guy?
Songs from Morgan's Push playlist.
Oh, the Push playlist.
We'll get a run very soon.
Yes, it will.
It's getting a run any day now.
These are songs that we came up collectively.
The Rice Cookers have really done the bulk of the work.
A lot of the lifting.
Let's not forget the song that he's playing
the moment your daughter enters the world.
That person who picked that song gets naming rights.
Chosen Five at Shuffle versus Tina Turner.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, what a track.
This will be great when she comes out.
We'll all be singing, hugging.
And Tina also.
You should put that on your list of names.
Jeez, when was this?
I feel like you're going to get this one.
I love Tina.
Saw the Tina musical.
I can only think of this from the NRL era.
Yeah, when it was used as the ad campaign.
Was it the 97th?
This was our high school.
If you did dance, this was the warm-up song everyone did.
We had a couple of actions.
I don't know.
Tina has stood the test of time.
Could it be that old? I think it could be 80s. Yeah, not going to get on the nose. Tina has stood the test of time. Could it be that old?
I think it could be 80s, but I'm...
Yeah, see, I've gone 80s.
Yeah, 88.
Yeah, that's an eight.
And 94 for Ducko.
The correct answer is 89.
Oh, yes!
Good point.
It is 80, so just use that really late in the campaign.
Well, I mean, you could use it today.
It is the test of time.
You really could.
Foo Fighters.
Learn to fly.
This is great.
I forgot this was on the playlist.
The Fooies.
The Fooies.
Yeah, I forgot this was on there too.
Yeah, yeah.
What's that guy's name?
Dave Grohl.
Grohl, yeah.
That's right.
He kind of went underground.
Remember when that whole scandal came out?
Yeah.
Yeah, I heard from Dave.
Yeah, yeah.
How long around?
This is one of Babs' favourite bands.
Absolutely.
Yeah, she's a philly philly.
What does Foo Fighter mean?
Babs?
Oh, no, you're not trusted on Google anymore.
Yeah.
She might know.
Do you know?
It has something to do with war, I think.
Oh, war.
Okay, all right.
I mean, Morgan will be going to battle.
She is going to battle.
We're in the French battle.
Foo Fighters was used by alien aircraft pilots during World War II to describe various unidentified flying objects.
Okay.
We're halfway there.
Giddy up.
I have no idea.
Geez, I don't know.
I can't pinpoint a memory to it.
Neither can I.
That's the key to this game, don't you reckon?
Yeah.
I'm going to go.
What have you done?
Jess in at 04. Duck's in at 06.
The correct answer is 1999.
Whoa!
Damn!
Did not see that coming.
99.
Wow.
From Shrek 2.
God, this player's flat.
Yes!
Are you making it public?
People have asked.
Oh, I can.
I think you should.
I've called it Bork's Push Playlist,
like my in-name that I call Morgan, so I might need to change the name, but I don't know if I can. That's right. I can. I think you should. I've called it Bork's Push Playlist, like my in-name that I call Morgan,
so I might need to change the name,
but I don't know if I can.
That's right.
Make it.
Leave it Bork for your situation,
and then maybe we can generic it.
Who is this?
Smash Mouth.
Counting Crows.
Counting Crows.
And this was in Shrek.
That's right.
The second.
Okay.
I think,
is this Babs Correct Me with your Shrek knowledge?
Is this where he's, you know,
meeting... They're on their honeymoon.
This is the opening of Shrek 2.
Honeymoon.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm in.
Opening scene.
All right, Ducker's in.
They're running from the villagers.
Oh, sorry.
What have you done?
09 for Jess, 06 for Ducker.
The correct answer is 03.
Oh, jeez.
Earlier again.
All these songs.
Okay.
Jess in the lead with one.
Beyonce. Queen, hey. Run in the lead with one. Beyonce.
Queen B.
Run the girl.
Run the world.
Girls.
Third time, bitch.
We're all right.
Yep.
Okay.
Now she did this at her big Coachella set.
Yeah.
You know, shut down the world.
This is just her on her own, hey.
It's not the band.
Absolutely.
When did...
Unbelievable film clip.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is this the one band. Absolutely. When did... Unbelievable film clip. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is this the one Taylor Swift beat her for it on the film clip
and Kanye got on the stage?
Is that this one?
No, no, that was Single Ladies you were thinking of a bit earlier.
Okay.
Jeez, man, I can't hit this.
What was it?
Ooh.
Oh, shy guy.
He's doing his bit.
Angus went to Coachella.
He saw this.
He was in the most little of the gals like, yes.
Yeah.
We say our lives started when we got together
so it was when he was dead.
So, that is hard.
This is pre-Jess. This is PJ.
But I don't reckon it was far off.
Alright, Jess
is in.
Oh god, I'm changing.
I've got 04 for Ducko. I've got early. The correct answer is in. Oh, God. I'm changing. Okay. I've got, ooh. 04 for Ducko.
I've got early.
2016 for Jess.
The correct answer is 2011.
Oh!
Jeez.
Okay.
Crap.
Now, if I get this, we tie.
We tied last week.
Yes, that did happen.
Speaking of Kanye.
Oh, music!
Stronger.
When he was good.
Stronger, Kanye, Daft Punk, one of the great tracks.
I think I can hit this one on the nose.
I was in green.
I use this as a...
Is it that old?
I use this as a...
Oh, maybe I'll...
We've gone way too recent for all these tracks,
so maybe we do need to go a bit further.
I think this is...
It's not bloody 90s.
No, it's not.
I'll give you a hint.
I'm going to go less is more here.
I was about to do that.
Crap.
Oh, no. I'll go five. All. I'm going to go less is more here. I was about to do that. Oh, no.
I'll go five.
All right, Jess is in five.
Ducco's in at seven with the correct answer, 2007.
We tie again for another week.
You tied it.
Well, that just feels nice.
That's just another tie.
I love witnessing our couple friends committing sackable offences in front of each other because I feel like I do it a lot to Angus,
Angus does it a lot to me, and I have the outlet of the radio
to sort of punish him publicly.
I hate it.
There's nothing worse than when they do something to you
that you know they know you don't like.
Yes.
And you're like, you.
I'm not allowed to use the word we.
Oh, we enjoy a rosé because Angus goes, oh, do we?
And I'm like, I'm allowed to speak on behalf of you
when I know it is something we both enjoy.
But I witnessed a husband do it to his wife the other day
and I went, ah, everyone does it.
Everyone does it.
It's all right.
Went out for dinner with some really good mates the other night
and I actually happened to mention, you know,
one of the girlfriends was like, what did you do today?
And I just wanted to sort of big note myself.
I went, oh, took Lucia on her first charity expedition.
Oh, yeah.
We actually got a DM the other day.
I think I put in the group chat about Ronald McDonald House needing rice
cookers and someone reached out to us saying, hey, guys,
how amazing is this?
I had to spend some time with my little one in Ronald McDonald House.
They do Wednesday wish list where they just put it out to the community.
If you can, if you have a secondhand one or if you're willing to go buy,
these are some items we need.
And rice cooker happened to be on the list for this week.
And she sent it to us.
I went, I can go buy a rice cooker from Big W and drop it off.
So I was just sharing this with our couple friends.
And the husband said,
oh, I do some work with Ronald McDonald House as well.
Through their workplace, unbelievably socially conscious workplace,
they sort of delegate to different teams in the business, big business,
it's your turn to go to Ronald McDonald House and you're going to do a big cook-up for the families who are there.
Oh, nice.
And Rich was sharing that, you know, it was his turn just recently,
so a group of maybe eight of his colleagues, they went
and they did the big cook-up.
Like a barbie or...
Yeah, I think they actually did, like, multiple sort of dishes
and that sort of thing, and the idea is it takes the pressure off,
obviously, the families.
And we're all looking at him.
I went, oh, I thought I was goodbye to the last cook-up,
but you're going and giving up your Friday.
But then he goes, how's this one, pointing at his wife,
and I could see her go, you're not going to tell this story, are you?
Obviously, they cook a dinner, and part of the dinner is a little sweet treat.
So they do some baking, and he goes, we whipped up this massive batch of cookies,
and I sent a photo to the wife
saying, well, look at this.
We've been able to make about 200 cookies and we leave them for the families
and the children to have a sweet treat.
And the wife's text back being like, bring some home for me.
They look amazing.
She wanted me to take cookies off the family.
Off the sick kids.
And she went, don't tell people that.
I just like the look of the cookies.
Yeah, yeah.
I just wanted one.
I wanted a nibble.
I didn't mean take them off these families who are obviously much more deserving.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's like, please stop telling people this story.
Because it sounds bad when you tell it like it is.
But when you're talking to your partner and you're like, oh, can you bring one for me?
It's obviously just a little joke.
It's a little joke or a little slip.
Like, I know your cookies are amazing.
Yeah, yeah. But now he's telling everyone. He goes, nah, I'm never going to leave. It's a little joke or a little slip. Like, I know your cookies are amazing. Yeah, yeah.
But now he's telling everyone.
He goes, nah, I'm never going to leave.
She's stealing from charities.
She wants to take from everyone.
Oh, that's funny.
So everyone does it, guys.
Everyone does it.
Yeah, everyone likes to throw their partner under the bus.
I'm not judging her much.
Did you then say, oh, we love cookies, don't we, Angus?
Jess and Ducco.
I can't believe I had to go to the toilet.
When?
Because this is big news out of the F1 world.
You see, you love a bit of F1 gear.
I do.
You love the names, the speed, the sport.
I love the names that match the sport.
Pierre Gasly, and he's a Formula 1 driver.
Gas, I know how good.
Are you joking?
How good?
Are you joking?
Oh, it's great times.
I wish Schumacher's kid was doing a bit more.
Yeah.
Because it's one of the great legacies.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that's okay.
He's got time.
He's young.
Carlos Sainz.
Where do you stand on the one and only Carlos?
Carlos.
Carlos.
For anyone not an F1 fan, Carlos is a great driver, obviously, but to get shunted for
Lewis Hamilton.
From Ferrari. Arguably one of the biggest names in the sport. See it, Carlos. Flick to the side. To William. Carlos E, great driver, obviously, but to get shunted for Lewis Hamilton,
arguably one of the biggest names in the sport.
See it, Carlos.
Flick to the side because Lewis wanted to come over to Ferrari.
I want to see Carlos do well because that felt very harsh and unceremonious.
Well, Carlos has had an issue. Box, box, box, box.
Oh, I missed it, guys.
I thought we were out there. Sorry. Okay, so, box. Oh, I missed it, guys. I thought we were out there.
Sorry. Okay, so let's trade
out. We're boxing again.
Yeah, sorry for that. Do you know,
I felt like I was in the car with him. Yeah, we were.
You know when I went to the Singapore Grand Prix? Yes.
I reckon Carlos won that year that I
went. I think he might have. I think he might have. I think he did
because I remember Angus jumping
a fence and we had to run to the podium. Angus was going
box, box, box.
To watch him crack the champagne?
Yeah.
I feel like I should care more about Carlos.
What's happened to young Carlos?
Well, this isn't in Singapore.
This is in Japan.
The Japanese Grand Prix.
I hope he's not taking a jump from Singapore.
It was just on a few days ago.
Yeah.
Now, Carlos now drives Williams.
As we know, he was shunted from Ferrari.
He's in a breach of pre-race procedures despite suffering a medical issue with his guts.
So, F1 drivers are expected
to follow a strict schedule over the course
of that race weekend. There's a lot of rules, right?
They need to be on the grid. This is one of
their rules. Be on the grid when the host
country, so Japan's national anthem
is being played. That feels very
respectful. Yes. That feels very fair.
When they pan... You can't be touching up your makeup when
they're playing the anthem. Absolutely not. I'm hosting you in
this country. Your last minute race tips pre-
anthem. That's right. However, when they
cut to the anthem and all the drivers standing there,
some obviously not singing except for Yuki
Tsunoda and everyone else just like, I don't know what's being said right now.
Would have been a big moment for Yuki. Yeah, a huge
moment. Yeah. Sainz, Carl Sainz,
30-year-old, was not there.
He's MIA. He was gone. He wasn't
standing along. Apparently, battling a stomach issue, diarrhea, Carl's had a bit of spitty bump.
He needed to go back to the garage.
Oh, no, the sushi's not sat well.
The sushi's not sat well.
Yeah, obviously.
Oh, no.
He needed to go back to the garage to basically open his guts.
And despite the medical issue and having a medical certificate from a doctor who said,
no, no, he's genuinely sick.
I saw the bowl.
I saw him driving the porcelain bus.
Trust me, it was just liquid.
Before I got in my Williams car, I had to go drive the porcelain bus.
I'm sorry I had to miss the anthem.
Could you imagine having to do an F1 race and go do all those laps for hours while you've got Spitty Bowl?
Do you know?
There's challenges in the sporting world.
I can't think of one worse than that.
Do you know specifically how he started the anthem and then had to run away?
Well, he'd started on the track.
They were on the track before.
And then he got off.
And then the anthem started.
And then he was gone.
Because they wear those cute little onesies.
Yeah, the suits.
That's hard to get off.
Oh, 100%.
There's no bumflap.
Cute onesies.
They're fireproof.
Yeah, yeah, fireproof racing suits.
But no, they're cute onesies.
But there's no pant.
It's a one thing, isn't it?
No, it's a one thing.
There's no bum flap.
There's no bum flap.
So the F1 Formula One governing body has slapped him with a fine saying he's in a breach of
Appendix B of the F1 International Sporting Code.
Thank you.
Appendix B.
That's one you do not want to cross.
They're very, I mean, whoever's on the F1 governing body, they suck.
He got fined for not being there.
$36,000 Australian.
110,000 Japanese yen. He got fined that. being there, $36,000 Australian, 110,000 Japanese yen.
He got fined that, and then they get medical certificate,
and they said no.
So he just did a $36,000 poo.
Carlos Sainz.
When I poo on the boss's time, like I go into the stall,
and I'm scrolling for 25 minutes, obviously off air,
because I don't want to put my team out.
Well, you missed our first ever break on air last year because you were in the porcelain
bus.
Hey, man, I'd come back to work three months earlier maternity leave.
The pelvis needed attention.
But usually, pooing on the boss's dollar, that's one of the great joys.
But I've never been punished with 110,000 yen.
Yeah.
Fine.
I've just had a quick search of the base salary for Carlos Sainz.
Yeah, he'd be all right.
I think he'd be fine.
It's a drop in the ocean.
$10 million.
Could you imagine doing a $36,000 number two?
When it's not even joyful?
Yeah, yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, yes.
You don't get satisfaction.
It is just.
So then he went on to race?
Yeah, he did the race.
And how well or how poorly did he?
I don't think he did that well.
I mean, he's also in a Williams.
I actually don't know when he came, so I can look that up.
But 13, 10, 16.
Yeah.
13, 10, 16.
Well, you're not going to comfort.
Or is that Jeopardy?
Got to make you go faster.
You're lighter, though.
He might weigh in under.
That's another fine.
That's another fine.
I can't believe I had to go to the toilet when.
When.
Worst times.
Oh, hang on.
Your grandma's pallbearer.
I can't do it.
I've got to drop Naz.
The speeches at a wedding, always hard, you know, when you've got to duck out.
God forbid you are the bride or groom or you're actually up there.
Sorry, honey, before we do the rings, I'm going to have to go drop my guys.
I was emceeing at a wedding where the groom's like, mate, he was so nervous.
He had to go to the toilet.
He's like, mate, you're just going to have to pad for a bit.
And so to intro him, everyone's waiting.
I reckon I was padding for five minutes.
I started going around interviewing people in the audience.
Hey, what are you?
You're the uncle, huh?
So how did you know them?
How long have you been married?
Any tips for a healthy marriage?
Because he was in the toilet and the toilet was right in front of where everyone was sitting.
And then he came out and we all clapped him in.
Cue the music.
Hey, man, when you got to go, you got to go.
You got to go.
But has there been a moment you've said, I can't believe I need to go now?
Yeah.
Or how expensive was the two?
Very niche, but you never know.
You never know.
Give us a call.
Jess and Ducco.
Jess and Ducco.
We're in Japan.
Talking about butt cracks.
Hey, speaking of the air cracks, nice.
That's not my best segue.
It's not bad, though.
Take it.
Sometimes you just got to throw stuff at the wall.
You see what sticks. Sometimes it doesn't you just got to throw stuff at the wall.
You see what sticks.
Sometimes it doesn't stick.
Something that didn't stick was Carlos Alcaraz, number two on the Japanese grid.
13-10-60 was saying, I can't believe I had to go to the toilet when the Japanese anthem was playing for Carlos Alcaraz.
He wasn't there.
Not Alcaraz.
Who's Alcaraz?
Sorry.
I keep saying Carlos Sainz.
I'm still a tennis player.
Who's Alcaraz?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're getting our sports people mixed up all day.
I'm getting my sports people mixed up. He had to go to thez. I was talking about the tennis player. Who's Al... Ah, yeah, yeah. We're getting our sports people mixed up all day. I'm getting my sports people mixed up.
He had to go to the bathroom because he was sick.
He got fined $36,000 Australian,
even though he had a medical certificate
because he breached the codes
and he wasn't on the track during the national anthem.
I do love the respect,
and I do love that that is a rule.
We can't be having, you know,
oh, I'm not Japanese, so I'm not going to listen.
Like, they're the host country.
Yeah.
But he had a medical certificate.
Come on.
That's bitty bum.
What do you do?
When the gut's open, like, there's nothing worse.
What would the F1 governing body have allowed as a reasonable excuse?
If you're not going to allow that.
A poo-nami.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What would they think is okay?
I don't know.
They'd be in your deathbed.
True.
And even then, they're probably like,
your base salary's $10 million, Carlos.
You're paying up.
You are doing it.
And what does that money go towards?
The cleaning fee, maybe, of the bathroom he destroyed?
Kylie on 131060, I can't believe I had to go to the toilet when?
I was at Moulin Rouge.
We'd got the front row tickets right at the front.
But during intermission, the lines for the toilet were crazy.
So I thought, I can stick it out, it's all good.
But we got to the end of the show.
They did the finale.
They did the encore.
Everyone came on and clapped and all that stuff.
And I was like, yes, finally, I can go.
And then Simon Burke got up and started giving this heart-wrenching speech
about how his friends had died of AIDS and how they were raising money.
And he kept going and going.
And I was just like, I have to go.
I had to get up in the middle of his speech.
Did you walk out during that?
In the middle of the front row, right in front of him.
You would have been dead.
Do you not care about it?
Carly's like, I'll donate, I promise.
I just need to pay.
I did donate.
I donated so much money after that, and I tried to wait out the back for him to let him know that it wasn't him.
I just really needed to go to the toilet.
Oh, that's bad.
That's so good.
When you need to go mid-show,
I had to go during a stand-up comedy show in Melbourne once,
and I was in the front row.
Oh, no, you're just asking to be heckled.
I just got grilled.
I just got roasted.
Oh, he roasted me, and the whole thing was laughing.
And then when I was waiting to come back out,
then when I came back in, he was waiting for me,
and I just got roasted again.
It was just not fun.
Oh, you'd rather just pee in the seat.
You'd rather just deal with that.
Now, apparently Babs has one for us.
Reluctantly out there.
What have you got for us, Babs?
Oh, I was just going to say right now,
I've been trying to go for the past 40 minutes,
but you guys keep doing phoners and I can't.
Oh, okay.
Well, let's 13, 10, 16.
Cool.
Actually, Alphabucks.
You've got to call us for Alphabucks right now.
You do have to call for Alphabucks.
You can't go anywhere, sis. The whole team's going to go to the bathroom, Babs. I do need to pee. I'll make some toast while I'm out. Oh, keep it. Cool. Actually, Alphabucks. You've got to call us for Alphabucks right now. You do have to call for Alphabucks. You can't go anywhere, sis.
The whole team is going to go to the bathroom, Babs.
I do need to pee.
I'll make some toast while I'm out.
Oh, do it.
Jess and Ducko in the morning.
Jess and Ducko's 10K Alphabucks on hit.
You know it's that time.
30 seconds, 10 questions, all starting with the same letter.
Have to take your first answer.
Cannot use the same answer twice if you're untrue to the question.
So pass.
We come back if there's time.
We're playing for $10,000.
Our player today, we have Brooke.
Hello, Brooke.
Hello, guys.
Brooke, the one and only, ready to take $10,000 off us.
What do you want to spend the money on?
My partner and I are trying to buy our first house.
We've been living with his parents for a couple of years.
We've got to get you out of that.
There's no magic happening there.
How is that going with the in-laws?
I mean, if they're listening, I'm sure it's great, but how's it going?
Yeah, it's good.
It's busy.
Yeah, it's tough. It's busy. Yeah, it's tough.
It's busy.
It's busy.
Let's get Brooke and her partner under their own roof.
Well, at least contribute to a deposit.
100%.
I don't want you to freak out when you hear the letter Brooke.
We are going towards the back end of the alphabet.
There's only so many words, though.
Let's start with the letter V.
V.
V for? I'd rather V. V. V, okay.
V for...
I'd rather V than X.
Vacuum.
See, I mean, similarly, how many words start with X?
Yeah, true.
You only need to pull 10 out your bum to win the money.
But this is V. My apologies.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's not confuse the situation.
Brooke, are you ready to rock?
Yeah, I'm ready.
All right, let's do it.
Come on, Brooke.
Your time will start after the first question.
Starting with the letter V, we need you to name a car brand.
Volkswagen.
A non-alcoholic drink.
V.
A TV series.
Pass.
A cooking ingredient.
Vinegar.
An occupation.
Pass.
A zodiac sign.
Virgo. A fashion brand.
An actor.
A clothing item.
A girl's name.
A TV series.
Nice.
Strong, Brooke.
You got through everything.
Can you think of a TV series now with V?
Um, no.
Vikings, Virgin River.
Veronica Mars.
Veronica Mars was a big one for a while there.
And then an occupation, a vet.
Of course.
There's plenty, but yeah, a vet.
Look, you were a vet and a Viking away from $10,000.
Everything else you answered, you got correct,
and you don't go away empty-handed.
$100 to spend at the hair house.
So at least you'll look good living with the in-laws.
That is true.
Thank you.
That's nice.
You can bond with your mother-in-law over product.
She'll say, you need a hair house.
I have.
I have come into the bathroom.
What's your bathroom?
I have.
Past the potatoes. That's right. I hope she makes a good potato bake for you need a hair house. I have. Come into the bathroom. Not your bathroom. I have. Pass the potatoes.
That's right.
I hope she makes a good potato bag for you. Yeah, surely.
Brooke, thanks for joining the show, babe.
Thank you so much, guys. Have a good day.
You too. Play tomorrow again,
6.30 and 8am. Had some great players today.
Some good numbers. Quite good. As we
said, we'd really like to give away the 10 grand.
Ducko's last week before paternity
leave. We had a couple of DMs and texts.
Ducko, are you returning?
Imagine that.
He's just going on paternity leave.
This is me having a baby and signing off.
See you later.
And hey, if that's what you wanted to do, your prerogative.
So true.
But obviously life gets more expensive, so I'm not leaving.
I'll be staying right here.
Daddy's got stuff to pay for.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But yeah, your last week before paternity.
Come on.
Yes, we wanted to go away.
We try again tomorrow.
Go off, not go away. Well, technically go away from us. Yeah, that's true. Into your bank your last week before, come on. Yes, we wanted to go away. We try again tomorrow. Go off, not go away.
Well, technically go away from us.
Yeah, that's true.
Into your bank account.
So true.
Jess and Ducco.
Tuesday, baby.
It's everyone's favourite day of the week.
Great attitude, Ducco.
See?
Because I hate Tuesdays, but see what I'm doing?
You're about to be a father.
It's my last Tuesday on my own.
I mean, well, with my wife.
I mean, without the baby.
Kidless.
You know what I mean?
God, there you go.
Be as you wish to seem.
Ah, so true.
You know what I mean? You're about to become a Be as you wish, Justine. Ah, so true. You know what I mean?
You're about to become a role model.
How about that scary?
Let's not.
Let's not.
Come on.
Let's not jump.
Morgan's a role model.
I'm just here to have fun.
And Morgan's a wonderful role model, but it doesn't matter how good of a role model she
is.
You could undo all her good work if you'd be a bad role model.
You just try your best.
Yeah.
And that starts with great attitudes towards Tuesdays.
It does.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Because yesterday we saw our obstetrician again for the last time before.
Well, I suppose before he sees us in the throes of labour.
That's right.
Granted.
We had the stretch and sweep yesterday.
My goodness, isn't that an experience?
And I didn't even get swept.
You didn't get stretched or swept.
No, it was an experience to witness.
I was lucky enough to avoid that.
Everything I've heard.
It was uncomfortable for her.
Heckers.
Yeah, I mean, we were great observation.
He made it very comfortable and obviously does a good job.
But like, just witnessing that, like witnessing someone else do that, watching it to your
partner, you're like, whoa.
Whoa.
And then seeing, anyway, it's a full thing.
I want to get into that.
Fair.
I had questions and I realized. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can do it in's a full thing. I want to get into that. Fair. I had questions and I realized.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We can do it in the podcast.
I'll answer anything you want off air.
Thank you.
Dr. Morgan will come on.
Could she answer the questions?
She might.
She's pretty open these days.
She's like, well, none of this journey has been private thanks to you,
so we may as well just open the floodgates.
I'm like, yes.
Finally, we've worn her down.
So I can live stream in the birth.
So we went in, baby's due any day.
Otherwise, we go on Sunday to be induced.
That's Sunday afternoon.
So could Monday have child?
Oh, my God.
But I wanted to speak to our situation about the hands-on-hands thing again
because I said, now, for those that don't know, I'm doing hands-on-hands.
I've had a lot of people, mainly dudes and mainly my friends,
say don't do this.
Hands-on-hands is a way for the partner, the support person,
to really get involved.
Yeah.
And be there at the moment of, I'm going to say, eruption.
Yes.
So when the baby starts to come out, he then calls you around,
you've got gloves on, and then you help guide the baby.
You sit in front of him and he sits behind you.
And I presume this plays.
Well, I know it will because I've added it to the playlist.
You're Demi Moore.
Yeah.
And Malcolm is Patrick Swayze.
And my horse, Patricia, will be a great Swayze.
And then he sort of straddles me, I'm hoping.
Has he got a good head of hair?
Oh, no.
But, you know, I still think he'd look great.
Sure.
He's got the energy of Swayze.
He's got a great vibe.
And then we just guide out the baby together.
But apparently when he said to me yesterday, which is making me nervous,
because, you know, I'm nervous to cut the umbilical cord, but thank you to the listener, which is making me nervous because you know I'm nervous
to cut the umbilical cord
but thank you to the listener
who gave me left-handed scissors
which I'll be bringing in.
Yes, thank you.
I'll be bringing those in.
I asked Morgan yesterday,
I was like,
I've got my left-handed scissors.
Do you reckon I need to bring
a blow-up mattress?
She's like,
it's not your,
what are you doing?
Who's the blow-up mattress for?
Me.
Sleeping in the room.
Oh, for sleeping in the room.
I thought you meant
the baby.
If you drop the kid,
there's padding.
Great call dress. I'll bring Pam's bed. I'll he meant the baby. If you drop the kid, there's padding. Great call, Jess.
I'll bring Pam's bed.
I'll bring Pam's anxiety bed.
Hey, is there a circus in town?
We need a net like the...
100%.
There is a circus in town, actually.
I drove past one the other day.
All right, Shogun Babs, I'll need you to set that up
so they have it.
Ducko needs a net.
The mattress is for him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not for the baby.
He said to me, you've got to be careful because I did it
with a dad just a couple of days ago
and he nearly dropped the child because they come out so slippery.
Of course.
And normally the dads, which I can imagine will be the same, are very gentle, like,
oh my God, I don't want to hurt anything or the baby or whatever.
And then they just dropped the child and Malcolm had to scoop underneath and help catch it.
Genuinely, the net, we need it.
Yeah, well, yeah, I mean, I'm hoping Malcolm has safer hands. But that's why Malcolm Genuinely, the net. We need it. Yeah. Well, yeah.
I mean, I'm hoping Malcolm has safer hands.
That's why Malcolm is there.
And he would have amazing reflexes.
And also probably noting, this guy's holding it wrong.
Oh, I've got it.
I've got it.
Here's what I was thinking.
I have some lateral thinking.
Here we go.
Okay.
This is your strong suit.
I said, Malcolm, you know, I like sport.
Now, in the, let's say, NRL, what some of the bigger players who might not have the
best handling skills, they get the sticky grip on their hands.
So when the ball comes to them, it's easy to catch.
What is that?
Is that like some sort of clag?
It's like a spray, and it makes your hands more sticky.
So if I spray that on my gloves, I'm not dropping that baby.
I don't know if it's good for the baby.
I'm not dropping the baby.
Part of my ignorance about sticky hands.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can you get the baby off?
That's so true.
I'll be shaking it.
It's not super gluey. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. It could be bad. I have sports people. They've got to then pass the ball on. Yeah, you, yeah. Can you get the baby off? That's so, I'll be shaking it. It's not super glue.
Oh, yeah, it could be bad.
I have sports people.
They've got to then pass the ball on.
Yeah, you've got to get it off somehow.
Just gives you a bit more grip.
Yeah.
Malcolm didn't seem to think it was a great idea, so he won't be doing that.
But I am nervous now.
It doesn't feel great for the first interaction of this newborn child.
Yeah.
Some chemical adhesive.
Yeah, that's probably not good.
That doesn't feel good, but I also appreciate your concern.
Thank you.
I did say to Morgan, I was like, do you think I should do this?
Like, is this a good idea or a bad idea?
And she's like, it's up to you.
Like, she doesn't mind either way.
She's amazing.
She did say, I might want you to stay up next to me and not leave.
She could call an audible.
You ain't going down there.
You're up with me.
Here's my problem with that, though.
I don't want to let down Malcolm.
Because if he thinks he's getting a straddle of the dark, man.
I've already told so many people I can't let down in that room.
He's going to be upset about missing his opportunity to swayze your deme.
I'll be there going, I'm taking notes of whose song I'll be playing while holding Morgan,
while getting straddled by the obstetrician.
It's a busy day for me.
While trying to focus on catching your kiss.
I was like...
It feels like a lot on your plate, Ducco.
I've got a bit on.
And your little ADHD brain. I don't know
if you're focusing on that many tasks at once.
Morgan just can't wait to see him. She's like,
I think you're just going to completely freeze up. Let alone the scissors. At what point
are you picking up these left-handed scissors?
I need a belt. A tool belt for the scissors as well.
Okay, some gecko grip and a tool belt.
And the net.
Anyway. Yes, the net.
Paramount, shy guy. Pam's bed. Pam, the net. Paramount shy guy.
Pam's bed.
Pam's anxiety bed.
That'll work.
Please, give it a watch.
Like you said, Jess, I'm a role model.
God help us, Charles.
Just quickly, Ducco, you were talking about you've just realised you're going to be a
role model now for a little person for the rest of your life and, you life and the rest of her life who influences us more than our parents do.
And I just had me reflecting yesterday, beautiful afternoon, and my little girl, a bit too much
energy of an afternoon where sleeping is going a bit out the window at the moment.
So I'm like, right, we've got to get out of the house.
Let's shake the sillies off, as the Wiggles say.
Let's burn some energy.
And she is showing quite the athletic prowess.
Oh, here we go.
She's constantly at a trot.
She's running around.
She doesn't walk anywhere.
She runs.
Has she jumped yet?
Bro, she got here the other day.
Oh, good on her.
Thank you for asking.
That's a moment.
I only caught half of the jump, but the start of the video is her mid-air. Oh, that's what you want. Both feet off the ground. There you go. I should have sent it to you. What a moment. I only caught half of the jump, but the start of the video is her midair.
Oh, that's what you want.
Both feet off the ground.
There you go.
I should have sent it to you.
What a moment.
I knew you'd be worried about her development in the jump.
I've been thinking about her jumping every day.
But you know our house, our corridor, it's not particularly long.
She zooms around that thing.
She zooms.
And I just thought yesterday, right, let's go to the park.
Let's get these wiggles out.
Let's burn some energy.
Beautiful grass park near our house.
But I got real humbled real fast.
When I say she's got some athletic prowess,
that's obviously the DNA she's picked up from her father.
It's not something I think I contributed to the little genetic cocktail
that makes her up.
So we go to the park and I start jogging like, come on, Lucia, chase mama, chase mama.
And she does.
We get to the park.
Mate, after three laps of this park, I'm huffing and puffing and she genuinely caught me.
And I went, I should not have just been caught by an 18 month old toddler.
Like you were trying your hardest and she got you?
Because I thought, I'll run behind that tree.
Where's mama?
Three goes of that.
I was pumped.
How embarrassing.
I'm like, righto, this great idea has now become,
this is what happens when you skip two weeks.
Yeah, I was going to say, you know, you've been out of routine.
Been out of routine, a couple of commitments there.
Kind of be disappointed in you.
Oh, absolutely.
I'm seeing him today, don't worry, because that's my motivation.
We'll tell him to get you on that treadmill straight away.
Absolutely.
Got caught by a toddler just trying to play a game at a beautiful Monday afternoon.
Very embarrassing.
You know what I wanted to do for the team, because there's that viral trend going around.
I want to see us all at full speed.
So I want to film us all over 30 meters going as fast as we can, because I just think it
would be funny seeing us all trying to achieve full speed.
I had you in my head, and I thought, let's get Lucia involved in that little trend because
you should see her.
I get her in full speed as well.
She gives me a run for my money, that's for sure.
Yeah, okay, good, we'll do it.
Jess and Ducco.
Well, we know Jess is one of the great haters of Vegemite.
I have been called an Australian.
You have?
Multiple times?
Not just for coming on the radio and sharing my disdain publicly,
but full stop for not enjoying Vegemite.
I think it's fermented garbage.
The smell alone.
I've told you, Dad's secret recipe to gravy, Vegemite.
You're either on one of the two sides of the fence.
You love it.
You're like Ducko eating it by the spoonful.
Yeah, I can do that, yeah.
Or you're like me and you think it should never have been invented.
It certainly shouldn't be available for public consumption.
I don't know any other food that's as, like, divisive.
Divisive.
You know?
Certainly no other spread.
Which is also good for marketing.
It's good for the brand.
But the Vegemite have got a comp called Unite with Vegemite.
That's right.
It was basically, I guess, asking children in particular,
junior rice cookers, if you will,
to put forward some arguments about how good Vegemite is, why we should all be enjoying it for our breakfast spread.
And maybe to sell it overseas a little bit too.
Oh, maybe, maybe.
So we actually got a DM from Tori, who is very proud of her five-year-old daughter, Eliza, because Eliza, at only five years old,
was picked by Vegemite as one of five kids from around the country
to win the Unite with Vegemite,
basically becoming a Vegemite ambassador.
What did we land on?
Veg-fluencer.
Veg-fluencer.
Because her convincing skills, her persuasion skills,
when it comes to this divisive spread were just elite.
Fantastic.
So we go to young Eliza now.
Good morning, Eliza.
Good morning, Jess.
Congratulations on being seen and heard from the people at Vegemite
with your excellent convincing skills.
This must feel pretty cool.
Yes.
Yes, it does.
You're excited. Now, Eliza, I'm. Yes. Yes, it does. You're excited.
Now, Eliza, I'm with you.
I'm team Eliza.
I love Vegemite, okay?
But what was it that made you want to do this for Vegemite,
made you like Vegemite?
I love Vegemite.
Yeah, fair enough.
You don't need to answer that anymore.
Mate, that's probably the key to her arguments.
Keep it simple.
She loves Vegemite.
And she presented her case at school as well.
So, Eliza, can you do me a favour and present your case from school
to Jess here on the radio to convert her to Vegemite?
You should try Vegemite because it has a yummy, unique taste.
It is nice and salty.
It's going to add to macaroni and cheese, pizza and a scroll,
and mum even puts in the bolognese.
It's a rich source of B vitamins, which helps maintain energy levels.
So give Vegemite a try.
Yeah!
Wow!
How good was that?
Whoa!
Eliza, you must have spent a long time doing your research.
There's lots of research.
Yeah, lots of research. A magician doesn't reveal her tricks. Yeah, lots of research.
A magician doesn't reveal her tricks.
No, she doesn't.
I didn't know that about the B vitamins there.
Yes, very good B vitamins.
Eliza, I'm going to ask you a very hard question.
This could make me look like an absolute idiot.
Yeah.
What's B vitamins good for?
Running.
Running.
She's been at...
She knows.
She knows.
That's the mark of a good lawyer presenting her case. She's been at... She knows. There was no proof there. She knows myself. Okay.
That's the mark of a good lawyer presenting her case.
She knows all the details.
She's won a five to win, and she won $500.
Now, Eliza and Eliza's mum, Tori, what are we doing with the $500?
I don't know yet.
Putting it into a bank?
Watching it grow? I reckon she's going to put it into a high-interest savings account.
Obviously.
How much Vegemite do you reckon you could buy with $500, Eliza?
Loads.
Loads, man.
We need to give Eliza a Jess and Darko fridge magnet.
Oh, I love that.
And if she has Crocs, maybe a Giz Pit as well.
That's fantastic.
I saw, Eliza, you've got some pretty cool swimmers.
What pattern and print is on your swimmers?
Vegemite.
Vegemite.
How good is that? She's committed to the cause. No peanut butter or jam for Eliza. Noimmers? Vegemite. Vegemite. How good is that?
She's committed to the cause.
No peanut butter or jam for Eliza.
No way.
I even have Vegemite pyjamas.
Oh, stop it.
Stop it.
That's beautiful.
And Vegemite gibbets.
Okay, we're going to give you a Jess and Ducko rice cooker gibbet, okay?
Is that cool?
And also, my first birthday cake was in the shape of a Vegemite jar.
This is commitment to the cause.
You are veggie obsessed, Eliza.
I love that.
Oh, that's wonderful.
Well, you've absolutely done your school proud, your family proud, and us too.
Eliza, for you, my friend Ducko couldn't even convince me to have a proper bite of Vegemite on toast.
But today, I'm going to do it for you, Eliza.
You've convinced me.
Brilliant.
Yeah.
Eliza might be running late for school.
We better let her go.
Thank you, Eliza.
Yeah, thank you, Eliza.
Thank you, Tori.
Mum to Eliza there.
Oh, there she is.
Thank you, legend.
Oh, brilliant.
Look at that.
That's commitment.
That's passion.
Good on her.
That's what you want to see in your kids.
Passion. You can hear that recited thing she gave. Look at that. That's commitment. That's passion. Good on her. That's what you want to see in your kids, passion.
You can hear that recited thing she gave to win.
He knows what's up.
Jess and Ducco.
Call the fame.
Call the fame.
Call the fame.
Win the prize.
Two tickets to the biggest entertainment event of the year, MJ the Musical.
Tony Award winning, now thrilling audiences at Sydney Lyric Theatre.
But we're not going to send you all the way to Sydney
and not give you somewhere to rest your little head.
You need to rest your head so you can complete your visit
with the perfect stay at the Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour.
Make sure you book today or get involved any time throughout the show.
That's right.
We've had some great contributions already today.
Wonderful contributions.
Thank you so much.
We know everyone's gearing up for school holidays.
We know it can be a busy time.
Hey, some schools may have already started.
Yeah, who knows?
So we do appreciate you getting involved.
But earlier this week, earlier, sorry, this week, this morning,
in the depths of six, on 131060,
you were asking what you see at the lights.
That's right.
You spotted an unbelievable sight.
A merry Australian. Yep, heavily illegal, On 131060, we're asking, what do you see at the lights? That's right, you spotted an unbelievable sight.
I'm very Australian.
Yep, heavily illegal, but a man drinking an open schooner of beer in a schooner glass from a pub at about 11am.
And full.
You almost saw him take his first sip.
Yep.
He took three sips and it was from the top.
And then take a corner at speed.
And it was fine.
I presume he didn't spill the beer.
Crazy.
So we asked, what do you see at the lights?
And then Heather got us in touch and gave
us this.
I pulled up at a busy intersection
and I looked to my right and I saw
a girl curling her hair. So on
closer inspection, she actually had
an extension cord running from a generator
on the back of, I'm assuming, her partner's
work ute. Oh, I was going to say
Heather, how she plugged in!
Yeah, it was just so crazy. I was like, here, Heather, how she plugged in. Yeah, it was just so crazy.
I was like, here we are, 2025, saving time.
How good is this?
Hey, man, I mean, I always get really nervous when I see ladies applying mascara in the car
because even if you're stopped at the lights, just doing anything around your eyeballs,
curling your hair, those things get up to 200 degrees.
With a generator, though?
With a generator.
That is, I'm almost impressed.
It is impressive.
That's a woman not just surviving in 2025.
She'd be thriving.
Thriving.
And because of that, Heather's won the Hall of Fame.
Woo-hoo.
Well done, Heather.
Yay.
Thanks, guys.
Hang on, Heather.
Sorry, sorry.
Let's back it up a bit.
Everyone.
These are obviously tickets to MJ the Musical,
so just one box we need to tick.
Can we have your best?
A hee-hee.
A hee-hee.
Yes.
Strong.
She's going.
It checks out.
She should be in the crowd.
She should be in the audience.
Yes.
You're going to MJ the Musical plus Sailor Novotel.
All on us.
Well done.
Enjoy it.
Thank you so much, guys.
Cheers.
Cheers, Heather.
Pack your curler, babe. It's going to be a great night on the town. Curl on the drive down. Curl on the drive down. Enjoy it. Thank you so much, guys. Cheers. Cheers, Heather. Pack your curler, babe.
It's going to be a great night on the town.
Curl on the drive down.
Curl on the drive down.
Save time.
Oh, that's wonderful.
But we do have that every single day.
We do.
Every day this week.
So you get involved.
Plenty more opportunities to get involved.
And you could school that yourself.
Absolutely, you could.
Great show today, Tim.
Wonderful.
If you did miss anything, our podcast lives wherever you get your podcasts.
The Listener app is our podcast platform of choice.
Yep.
Wonderful stuff.
We're going to some more detail today in the podcast about what you couldn't ask me on
air earlier at 8 o'clock this morning.
Yes, yes.
And this is so funny.
I feel a little silly because I've been through what Morgan's been through.
Yeah, yeah.
But there are things I haven't.
Hopefully I can answer all the questions.
And you witnessed it fresh.
Yeah.
I want to unpack that one in depth. Yes haven't. Hopefully I can answer all the questions. And you witnessed it fresh. Yeah, I want to unpack that one in depth.
Yes, please.
Any guys who've seen what I've seen as well will understand where I'm coming from with this.
Yes, always exclusive bit of content in the podcast as well.
So...
Check it out.
If you haven't had your fill, if you've finished your Jess and Duck O' Meal and you go...
I'm still hungry.
I'm still peckish.
Yeah, I could have something else.
Just a couple of nugs.
That didn't touch the side.
Yes, come through our metaphorical drive-thru.
Yeah, we'll give you some nugs.
For a 12-pack of nugs and some hot honey dipping sauce.
Okay, okay.
We all work at Macca's.
Who does what role?
Like, you know what I mean?
Shy Guy's the store manager because he's just like...
Oh, but see, I feel like he should be on the grill because he's meticulous.
And, you know, they're always about consistency and continuity.
I feel like he'd be good at that because he's a robot.
So true.
You know what I mean?
How do you feel about being on the grill?
Ah, I don't love it.
Okay.
What do you see yourself doing?
Nothing.
Cleaning the toilets.
I'm a master manager.
I'm doing rosters all day.
Yeah, I can see you doing rosters as well.
I see you on the drive-thru, Ducko.
I'd be a drive-thru guy.
I feel like you'd be driving.
Welcome to McDonald's.
What can I get for you?
Hold there for me, sir.
The danger of putting me anywhere.
What's that, two Big Macs?
You fatty. The danger of putting me anywhere. Was that two Big Macs? You fatty.
The danger of putting me anywhere in the kitchen.
Oh, yeah, you'd eat it.
Oh, you're not getting 12 McNuggets.
You're getting 10.
Maybe 10 and a half.
We'd roster you in the playground on playground duty,
even though that doesn't exist.
We'd be like, Jess, you're on playground duty.
I'll be the lifeguard or whatever.
You're the lifeguard of the Ronald McDonald playground.
That feels good to me.
And Babs is front counter. She gives huge front counter energy. She's the most pleasant demeanour. Ye of the Ronald McDonald playground. That feels good to me. And Babs is front counter.
She gives huge front counter energy.
She's the most pleasant demeanour.
Yell the face of it.
She takes the calls every day.
And she's good at multitasking, you know?
She'd be calling out the numbers for the orders to be collected.
Oh, that could be my job.
Number 69.
Oh, 64.
And then you just fill up the shake or something like that in the drinks.
Yeah, I love that.
I'll be the one trying to fix the McFlurry machine.
Oh, and everyone's angry at you.
Of all the technical people in the team, it's me.
We'll come to you.
Yeah, we'll definitely come to you.
I'm calling Angus.
Can you come fix the McFlurry machine, please?
Yeah, that feels good.
That's a good team.
Feels solid.
I've never worked in food, ever.
I worked at a fruit and veg shop.
Does that count?
I guess so.
I guess it's technically retail, but it was fruit and veg.
Yeah, sort of counts, I guess.
Have you ever, Babs?
I'm a good man. Oh, good. Yeah, GYG, I guess. Have you ever, Babs? Of course, man.
Oh, yeah, GYG.
GYG.
You ran that place.
You ate that place dry.
Have you ever worked in food?
No.
Oh.
Yeah, he's done retail.
He was a store manager for retail.
I know that.
The cleanest of the bunch, I do think it's Shy Guy, so I wouldn't mind him handling my
food.
Don't you reckon?
Yeah, he can touch my food up.
Yep.
Why does he have to touch it up?
Well, he's not touching it down, is he?
Not touching it left or right either.
I would love to.
I mean, I wouldn't love it,
but like being on the drive-thru,
I've got mad respect for the drive-thru people.
It's a hard game.
How do they do it?
It's one of the great conundrums for me.
It's a hard game.
How do they know which,
you know these ones that are all double now?
Yes.
Because obviously they're busy.
Yes, and they take them to it once,
and then someone's coming,
and they've got to remember
that was their order two orders ago.
Take the money. Because if I only order three hash browns, but you're on the other aisle, and they're taking two at once. And then someone's coming and they've got to remember that was their order two orders ago. Take the money.
Because if I only order three hash browns, but you're on the other aisle and you're ordering the whole menu.
Yeah.
But I've technically eclipsed you in how fast I went through.
But do I get your order?
How do they know?
Don't they track your license plate?
I don't know.
These are all probably questions for Babs.
Did you work in a drive-thru, Guzman?
I did.
Did you ever do drive-thru?
Did you have the double?
Yeah, I did.
I'll chime in at any time.
There's a camera. You can see the car.
Okay, so...
So in your mind, you know, okay,
the Volkswagen Beetle ordered that
and the Mitsubishi Outlander ordered that.
Yeah, it's all about remembering and then
just kind of remembering what their order was.
I'd be horrible at that.
I might have to take you off the...
They love me as a person, but they'll be like, he kept getting orders wrong, but he's remembering. I might have to take you off the drive-thru. Shy guy, as the boss, might have to take you off the drive-thru.
They'd love me as a person, but they'd be like,
he kept getting orders wrong, but he's so fun.
You're on the chip fry.
Don't put me on the chip fry.
You know what you'd be good at?
Salting the chips.
Oh, God.
Everyone would be like, everyone's arteries would be clogged.
My apologies.
Heavy on the salt.
Generous on the salt.
I want to see you do that little chip shovel.
I'd be bad at that, too. I just think, put me on the drive-thru and just let me that little chip shovel. I'd be bad at that too.
I just think, put me in the drive-thru and just let me do my thing.
I'll just be Vosk.
But that feels sporty, that.
In fact, can I be Ronald?
Okay, I'll manage the playground and then I'll book you to come and...
Kids parties.
You come in with the ice cream cake dressed as Ronald.
Kids just running around me.
This Ronald sucks.
Why is he so small?
He just keeps pushed over by the children.
Kicking me in the shins.
People throwing nuggets at you.
My chips are too salty, Ronald.
I'd throw them right back at those little terrorists.
Pouring hot honey dipping sauce all over them.
I'll teach you.
Send this on to Maccas.
Absolutely.
We should all do this shit.
Yeah, we...
Yeah, no.
It's been offered.
That store wouldn't do well with us at the helm.
No, it wouldn't.
They'd lose money like that.
Let's leave it to the professionals.
Yeah, absolutely.
We're out of here.
We'll stick to what we do.
Any more of a get the podcast back on air tomorrow.
Hopefully I'm here.
If not, be ready, team.
Should be, though.
Okay, good.
Yeah, should be.
Well, after you had the stretch of sleep today.
Yeah, well...
Telling me it's all right. Yeah, it should be. Well, after you had the stretch and sleep today. Yeah, well. I'm telling me it's all right.
Yeah, cervix closed.
Do you use the word ripe or is that incorrect?
That feels wrong.
It feels wrong.
It feels wrong.
He hasn't said that in the medical lingo.
He's never said it to me.
Nah.
It's not medical.
It's not a medical terminology.
I don't think so.
Good.
It shouldn't be.
It shouldn't be.
Okay, goodbye.
Bye.
Bye. We had the stretch and sleep yesterday. My goodness, isn't that an experience? Good, it shouldn't be It shouldn't be Okay, goodbye Bye Bye
We had the stretch and sweep yesterday
My goodness, isn't that an experience
And I didn't even get swept
