The new spicy Frank's red-hot sauce range has arrived at Maccas.
This is the Jess and Duggo podcast.
Podcast, fuck yeah.
Recold the power.
We live in the day yet.
Podcast, fuck yeah.
Welcome to the podcast, podcasters.
It's great to have you with us.
On what is a big day Wednesday, the 12th of November?
Why?
You'll hear it.
Well, actually, you probably would have heard.
if you listen to the bonus clip that I believe went out
on Jess and Darko podcast HQ,
but I have announced that I will be departing of the show.
We say,
Arrivederchi to Daco in a few weeks.
Yeah.
The last show.
I liked,
shy guy cuts the songs out of the podcast,
but I really liked that straight off the back of your announcement
was fate of Ophelia.
Yeah, pretty classic.
Just felt really.
Chef's kiss, perfect.
Also, the song preceding the announce was Stay by Miles Smith.
A lot of lyrical poetry.
It was actually man I need, but I rotated them because I thought that was weird.
Man I need.
Yeah, you thought that could be a good odd.
We're losing the man that you need.
It's a whole thing.
Yeah, so I've announced that I'm leaving the show.
Not being fired or forced or pushed.
I've just got another opportunity that just benefits my family in the long run.
Do you reckon if you hadn't said that, people would assume you'd been fired?
Yeah, I do.
That's why I really wanted to say that.
Just in this climate.
Also, as out of respect to the company I'm currently in, I wanted to put it out there.
Yeah, yeah, great point.
Great point, yeah.
Also, it would have been very mysterious, but yeah, you make a good point.
But now the classic Saturday, people are going like, oh, what are you doing?
Oh, where are you going on?
Like, people go really pulling in the sky.
Like, they go massive, like, oh, you're going to be like this thing on TV or you must be in a movie.
It's going to be an avatar fall.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Remember I've said it's benefits to the family.
Yeah, yeah.
Yes, absolutely.
And that's, and that's part of it.
People speculating now.
You have your reasons not for sharing right at this minute.
Yes.
And it's not about radio hooking.
keeping you locked in more. It is genuinely, you cannot.
I'm not going to come on this show and go, all right, guys, here it is.
This is the opportunity.
Yeah, no, I won't be like that.
Absolutely.
That'll trickle out.
Yeah, it'll come out and come down in its time.
When, when?
I believe in a couple of weeks.
Sure.
Yeah, in a couple of weeks.
Well, thank you because you have shared that information with us, me about a fortnight
ago, shy guy and babs just a little bit afterwards.
Yeah.
And it's felt like we've been keeping something from the audience.
When we are so open about everything.
So it's nice, whilst obviously devastating and sad,
that everyone now knows what's up.
Yeah, it's very good.
And it doesn't feel like we're keeping secrets because that's not in our wheelhouse.
No, I feel a bit lighter.
Just having it out there for you guys for me.
I certainly didn't plan to get as emotional on that announcers as I thought I did.
I just thought I'd be able to get through it.
Do you think because you'd sort of processed a bit and written something down
and you sort of thought I can just get this out?
And, I mean, I started reading, I was like, fuck.
It was like, it was like reading a eulogy.
Yeah.
Oh, shit, I'm going to go here.
Like, yeah.
And I think I haven't really, I've processed it and dealt with it, but I haven't, um, I haven't gotten like super emotional about it.
I've been trying to be a bit more like, you know, pragmatic and rational about it and stuff.
But, you know, it was the first time I sort of shed a tear over the situation.
Yeah.
So it was kind of like, it'll just spill that classic.
Of course it happened on air.
Good.
Good.
Um, but anyway, look, there'll be a video to go out, too, because I understand a lot of people might have not heard it live or might be hearing it now.
I might want to see that and stuff.
I know many people like texting their friends.
Oh, my God, did you hear?
Oh, what are you talking about?
A bit of that.
I just had a guy, a mate of ours, Caleb.
You know, Caleb, he used to work here.
He just sent me a message and goes, mate, I've just had people message me.
Are you leaving?
He didn't hear it live, like, where the radio goes.
But they know that you're, he's friends with you and they're probably going to him,
maybe wanting more info or at least, what's your tag?
And he's going, what are you talking about?
So the power of it.
But anyway.
We'll put a little video out today.
You'll see it.
But yeah, it's a, I don't know how to explain.
It's a sad time.
It's a weird time.
It's a, you know, it's been a tough couple of weeks, if I'm going to be honest.
And as sadistic as this sounds good.
If you were only happy, it would feel so much of it.
Yeah.
It just shows the loving care I had for the show and play some people and what I put in.
Absolutely.
It's not like it was an easy decision.
Even though, like, the other thing I'm doing, it does, you know, benefit me professionally.
And for my family and stuff, it was still very much like, oh, fuck, do I want to?
Yeah.
You know, like, it's hard, you know.
As we talked about, like, weighing up the scales, the pros and cons.
Yeah.
You definitely didn't make a rash choice.
No, and there was a lot of, you know, I'd even spoken to you about it before I've made my decision.
Yeah.
And we discussed it and stuff and, you know, you were great about it.
Thank you.
To begin with.
Yeah, you started off really good.
Then I started feeling feelings.
Yeah, that's fine.
I mean, it was the seven stages of grief.
But I feel like we're through the darkness.
I feel like.
True.
I feel like there's a good light now, you know.
I feel like the whole team.
It's good that it's out because now we're going to just like, have it laugh.
with it
try and find a positive
It was like I told you
I told you a couple weeks ago
And I told these guys
I told Shugga last Monday
And then Bad's last Tuesday
And it was kind of like
Monday Tuesday
Wednesday were good
And then like Thursday
Friday
It started to go a bit
And then like
The weekend was hard
And then
The idea of like
What does it mean?
Yeah
Like the foundations
of this program
are so solid
And so just feeling
instability
We know it's one of the great
Reckoners
of feeling
come.
Yeah, yeah.
And that's just what happened.
And when we directly need each other for our source of income slash future, it is a weird
sort of little thing.
Exactly.
Like, we already had one comment like, how are you going to find someone named Docker?
It's like, that's sort of what it feels like.
Yeah, yeah.
How do you replace something so unique, so special?
And been six years.
And even the word replace feels so yucky because it's, yeah.
It feels disrespectful.
Yeah, yeah, it's weird.
It's a weird feeling.
It is a weird feeling.
And it has been six years.
Like, it's been the longest, I think, iteration of a super show.
show, and the long iteration of this show.
So, you know, we've been...
Definitely the most fun.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Definitely been around for a long time and the most fun.
And anyway, you know, hey.
So if you did miss it, it's obviously the full statement.
Yes.
Is in a bonus clip, as, as Ducco said, should I guys created that for us.
Yeah.
Check out our socials, Jess and Ducco.
I mean, feel free to ask questions.
We'll tell you what we can tell you.
Yeah.
Bear with us while we can't.
Yeah, yeah.
Tell your friends.
Yeah, tell everyone, yeah.
Thanks to all the people messaging, like, can I take the job?
Yeah, yeah.
Which I'm like...
That's classic.
I mean, love the enthusiasm.
Body's not cold.
Yeah, it's so good.
Actually, would you like to be in the audition process?
That would be pretty funny.
That would be pretty funny.
Because if they can't perform in front of you, what hope do they have?
Do we do a week of finding my replacement on air just with listeners?
And they call in and they've got to do like a back announce.
So I'll play a song and they've got to go like, it's such and such and it's...
Tell me a story.
And then tell a story.
Yep.
They submit a voice message.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
What, 30 seconds?
Yeah.
We'll workshop that.
We're also for getting that in my role.
They're going to press the buttons and do that.
There's a lot.
There's a lot.
Hey, let's start with interest.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then we'll go to.
And we'll just keep funneling our way down.
We had those Alpha Box players.
Remember the, I remember their names?
They pretended to be you guys and then played after that.
That's right.
The couple, yes, who said we love, love, love, you know, playing Alpha Bucks at home.
So that's who we'd be getting.
That's right.
Yeah.
Just passionate.
Just really.
Passionate, you know, people.
Maybe we'll talk with that.
It will be, it will be interesting.
It will be.
Just moving forward, but what we can guarantee is that the run to the end of the year.
To quote Schomo, it's the new normal.
Guys, I just seated that.
Get off the grass.
That was the other guy.
Guys, that's my new turf.
Was that Scomo?
Yeah, he was, he was pandemic PM, wasn't he?
Guys, I just seated that.
That's my favourite clip.
Guys, I think I'm a bar, right?
I've pronounced.
Hey, guys, I've just re-seated that.
Receded.
That is a great.
Now, see, that is a.
The Minister of the country.
Perfect example.
I've made a reference to a pop culture moment.
Ducco found it within bloody five seconds.
Yeah.
Who's peered out from the tent over there?
Hello, Babs.
Hello.
How are you?
Good.
How is the tent to sleep in, by the way?
Pretty good.
I brought a blow-up mattress in here.
Just let's look...
Jess, do you want to come in the tent, look inside?
I'd love to.
Okay, what do we got in here?
Oh, the whole family's in here, are they?
Hello?
Look at that.
Hi, Grandpa.
How did you fit an alpaca in here?
Yeah.
Why is there an...
alligator. Oh, jeez, they can't get
along. That's dangerous.
It's weird, guys. Keeping it fun.
Just keeping it interesting.
All right, we'll pack up you. See it, Babs.
Oh, jeez, that's weird.
See? Theater of the mind, guys.
We get it. Theater in the mind. You get it.
You get it.
I'm got to explain
Ducko
Step into Uncle Ducko's
Sniff test
Got him going insane
Yeah
Oh no, that's a Muppet
Sorry, wrong franchise
Yeah, probably
I like toys
This is Jess and Duckett
Yes it is
Right on 6 o'clock
Hey, welcome to that halfway point ten
Welcome to Wednesday
We're on the top of the mountain
We are on that top
We're just looking down
We're at the peak together
We've climbed our Everest
The only way I'd like to be
Yeah.
Together at the top, looking down.
That's what we do.
Having a Mufasa moment, if you will.
Oh, yeah.
Nah, Babi-Nia.
We're doing that.
Everything will light touches.
And Chagra hasn't quite made it up to the top of the mountain.
No.
He's not that keen to climb the mountain.
He's not, he hasn't done his altitude training, Ducco.
No.
He's stuck at base camp.
I'm very happy at base camp.
Yeah, you're, he's just setting up the codec at base camp to get us reception.
There's reception at base camp.
And Babs is Zazoo.
Yeah.
Zazoo.
The two camp.
Good morning to you, Zazoo.
Morning.
Is he a two-cans, I was in?
I've said that now.
Some form of bird.
Some form of bird.
How are we to say?
Hey, someone got a sexy cut.
Mate.
Sorry, just really quickly.
He's a red-billed hornbill.
How could you get that wrong?
Not a two-can.
Everyone out there wandering and upset.
I know.
But back to the more pressing matter at hand.
We had a woolly guy yesterday.
Longing hair got a...
Flopsy.
Yeah, flopsy.
We parked at the same time, Ducker.
I got out of my vehicle first, waited for shy guy at the lid.
He sauntered over.
It was a different energy.
He was strutney stuff, wasn't he?
About him.
I feel like he was standing up a little bit taller.
There was a wiggle in the hips.
Oh, yeah.
You're feeling yourself.
Don't even try and lie.
Yeah, you are feeling yourself a bit.
Yeah, nah, I've got a haircut.
It has to be done.
He goes, it's the same cut I always get.
I said, there's something different.
It's because it was so long.
It was so long.
They didn't do it for a week.
You've also kept more length on the top, I think.
Yeah, I did.
Yeah, I got shorter on the sides on the back.
And did your barba give you some product?
Or did you finally buy some product?
Whatever you put in?
I was like, I'll just take a jar of that.
Oh, you're looking fire, baby.
We should put Proton together some days.
Like, come to the work bathroom.
Nah, I used to all the time.
You get a bit older, and you can't be bothered, but.
I get it.
I asked many moons ago, we had the little internal survey.
How can we make the workplace better?
You know, small changes.
And I said it'd be nice to have a little kit in the women's bathroom.
Yeah, that's right.
Maybe some dry shampoo, maybe a straight enough.
Bats could always use you a dry shampoo.
She could.
Maybe some tampons if you've forgotten it.
For the lads, just a little bit of pomade.
Yeah.
So you can pomade together of a morning.
That would be nice.
Pomade bros.
The pomade pals.
Pomade's like a, no, call of like.
Yeah, I think it's the manned French word for hair wax.
It's good.
It's like not the cheap stuff.
Yeah, I can just use as pomade.
Because the barma, ask if I wanted a powdered version.
You can get wet or dry.
Yeah, I was like, I've never heard of a powdered.
version to do your hair.
What does a powder?
Like, as in like flour and then it was stiffens out.
I've never used to powder, but they always offer a wet or dry look.
God, you'd hope that you've rub that in enough.
Otherwise, you're going to look like if you've been...
If you use that wet look, sometimes you look wet all day and it's like,
has he just had a shower?
Has he come from the surf?
What's happening?
Either way, mate, you look great.
Thank you very much.
There's a swagger about you.
Thank you.
There's a real swag.
Who's the circle of life just playing in an air?
Kelton John.
It's unbelievable.
It's great.
It's good to be here with the team, you know, for a Wednesday.
It is a big day, though, Ducco.
I'm on my white diet, yes.
Oh, in multiple ways, it's a big day.
Let's start with it.
I'm wondering my bad loaf of bread.
I can only have whites.
I've got my colonoscopy on Friday, so today is a light day.
You've got a colonoscopy on Friday.
And for anyone who hasn't had one, myself, shy guy Babs included, you've been educating
us on how strict the lead-up is to a colonoscopy.
You have to flush your system.
White chocolate last one.
Starting with the diet, not putting colours in.
No colours.
So it's a white toast today with butter and cheese.
I want to absolutely, ugh, like, yeah.
They are just, that's just not in your wheel.
It's just not my feet.
That's not my thing.
That's not that bad.
You don't eat that.
Morgan's like, what's the last time you had toast with butter and cheese?
And Babbs asked me this point, I actually don't have a date for you because I don't know if I ever have.
We went to have it yesterday because you sort of were dipping your toe in it.
All right, let's do the butter and cheese.
And then realized you can't have the bread we happened to have at work.
Yeah.
So I had four portions, yours and my include it.
You've gobbled it up, which is great.
So I'm well versed in the toast.
I'm curious to see how it affects you.
Yeah, me too.
I'll be cramping by the end of the show.
And then, like, ice cream and milk and stuff and bizarre.
Bizarre, like yogh.
Like, all the things that I don't, like, love.
Yes, is the only things you can have.
Yeah, it's quite weird.
Until tomorrow it gets worse.
So you better enjoy your boiled chicken today.
Yeah.
Because come tomorrow.
Fluids only, baby.
Goodbye solids.
I've got Chinese broth and fluids.
And then I've evacuated the to...
I'll talk about a mate yesterday's had one.
He's like, mate, get ready for being by the toilet all night.
Otherwise, just...
Otherwise, you can go...
Rubber sheets?
Should we look?
rubber sheets on the bed.
Can you give me some of those rubbish sheet?
I know who's got my rubber sheet?
You can borrow my butter chicken tar.
Yeah, can I have that?
It's very easy to rinse off.
Why not going to be able to part with it for a night or two?
And that's not going to be butter chicken I leave on it.
Well, rinse it off.
We got you a gurney for your birthday.
I used my gurney.
Return it clean.
It feels like a Babs job.
This is like borrowing the car and not returning it with a tank of gas.
You better rinse off my towel.
Babs, you can rinse off me dirty tart.
Zazu.
Why do I have to do it?
I mean, it feels like a Babs job, guys.
Why?
Because it's a bad one?
No, just because it's like...
No, no, it's a Babbs.
Yeah, you're saying it wrong.
It's like feeding the fish.
We all want to do it, but it feels like a you job.
We're not going to fight you.
It sounds like you don't want to do it, so you're just delegating it.
That's not what I'm doing, but I don't know where you've gotten that from, sweetheart.
But yes, it is big show.
I got that.
Plus, we have a big show announcement after Alphabucks at 8 o'clock.
So I'll be listening for that.
Keep it loud.
Yeah, that is going to be a bit of a bombshell.
Yep.
And what else do we have?
We've got Alphabock's your chance at 10K at 7 and 8.
Your mate, Slicky Kendrickie.
Yeah.
Slicky Ricky.
Slicky Ricky.
Kendrick Lamar tickets if you'd like to be at his show in December.
Yep.
You could win those.
Plus accommodation.
You do have to get involved in the show.
I got a Kendrick lyric crew.
Bing, boom, bum, bam.
The type of amount you wouldn't understand.
Thank you.
Because all you've given me so far is they're not like us.
They not like us.
They not like us.
They're not going to us.
Well, and the other one is just sound effects, obviously.
Bam, bum, bam.
Hey, up next, though, there's a DJ who's going famous and viral
for what's happening to him when he DJs.
Oh.
A physical effect to unpack it.
Next.
Jess and Duckow.
Yes and Ducko.
Around 645 yesterday, Ducko.
You very kindly gave us a rendition of the Ducko remix.
Incy Wincy Spider.
Just a somber.
You know, when I'm seeing my daughter to bed at night, I get a bit,
I want to make sure I'm seeing it well, and I feel it.
You were really feeling it.
There was a video on Jess and Ducco, and someone responded saying,
Oh, yeah.
I don't know if I can say this.
She's like, everyone getting listening to this.
And then I went, Jesus, it's like, nursery wrote.
And then she wrote, but then she wrote, I was cringing the whole time.
I went, well, sorry, those two feelings are very.
I got excited there.
I was like, hello, Sabrina Carpenter.
Tears were on down my thighs.
I thought, you know, I didn't know there was a video up to be completely fair.
I didn't tag you for a reason.
But it got a lot of traction.
Is that a story?
It's a story.
I'm looking at now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There was a couple of great comments.
But off the back of that, something I would now like to do as a team in regards to nursery rhyme.
So stick with us just after 630.
Okay.
Right now, DJ, female DJ, Jamila Jamil.
Yes, also an actress.
Yes, she's in the good place.
Yes, that's where I first learned.
also one activist, very outspoken, lots of interviews, lots of causes.
I like Jamila.
I didn't realize Jamilla was a DJ.
No, I'm not.
But apparently this is 2012 when she was 26 years old.
And she talks about DJing the Young Farmers Ball in the UK.
One more time, Young Farmers.
The Young Farmers, that would be lit.
It would be wild, right?
And then she says something.
This is not a podcast, wild.
This is what she says.
But one time the venue was so big that they had these ginormous speakers.
And there was nowhere to put the decks other than on top of the
speakers and I'm a sensitive young woman or I was at the time I was 26 I think and I had to
DJ on the speakers but the vibration of the bass was you know wake awakening something in
in my groin area and I'm trying my best to like cover it up but it's very intense because I'm
playing like dizzy rascal so it's like some people think I'm bonkers and I'm just like and my
my tour manager runs over and he's like do you need like with my little inhaler my asthma pump
And I'm like, go away!
She had an orgasm.
Tobonkers!
Now, it's funny, it sounds weird, right?
But imagine standing right behind all the loud, heavy speakers,
and this is blaring in your crutch as a lady.
Because I don't think as a guy, I mean, it might put some lead in the pencil.
I don't say, do vibrations do it for you?
Oh, man, gust the wind.
Just a sly smile from the shirt.
Yeah, yeah, honestly, yeah.
With his hair cut.
Our boss comes in and says, good show today.
I'm like, oh, God, damn it.
Holy hell.
Well, let's give a realistic example, Ducko.
Oh, so true.
What fantasy land are you living in?
When he comes in and says, a bit fast today, stop talkover.
I'm like, oh, it's happening again.
I've got to take the positive.
Talk over.
Ducco, you asked Lenny Kravitz a good question.
Oh, geez.
I have heard, Ducko.
And now this may be more in your wheelhouse.
Yes.
Ladies at the gym.
Oh.
There was a colleague of ours in the radio industry.
Really?
You remember PJ of Jason, PJ fame?
She went viral a couple of moons ago, talking about doing a really hard workout.
I'm pretty sure it was ab-focused and crunching up and down and just having this overwhelming sensation.
And she was inundated many women saying, yes, I've experienced that.
like euphoria from a workout.
Oh, so it's like you get that, um, you get that spike.
Yeah, the endorphins.
Interesting.
It culminates in the physical sensation, similar to sexy time.
Interesting.
So it doesn't surprise me.
Jamila has had this when we're talking about deep bass and vibrations.
Yeah, if you had the deep bass.
And I love this song.
Yeah, yeah.
If this was just right of your groin area and you felt the bass and the airflow.
And also, can you think of a more powerful job than DJ?
Controlling a crowd.
controlling the crowd.
Then DJing the young farmer's ball.
Come on.
You've got a bunch of hot young farmers in front of you.
And you were just saying like, but could you imagine?
Because like, you know, sometimes people are going to have visceral reactions when they're in that state.
Could you imagine what's what the DJ?
Is she having a stroke?
Well, yes, like the tour manager going, she needs her puffer.
What's happening to her?
Don't look me in the eye.
Jess and Duckow.
Not something that we've touched on, God, possibly ever, Ducco.
on this program.
The Miss World or Miss Universe pageant, okay?
World peace.
Absolutely.
Harsh your penalties for parole by leaders.
Yes, Miss Continuality.
So obviously that's where pretty much all my knowledge comes from.
Movies like Miss Congeniality.
When she plays the glasses?
The talent portion.
You've obviously got swimsuit.
You've got ball gown and you've got the talent where, yes,
Sandra Bullock plays the water glasses.
Some women do magic, Duck.
the winner in Miss Congeniality.
She did the flaming batons, like a cheerleader.
That's right.
But the reason we are bringing it up today,
I mean, did you find what Jen Hawkins did when she won Miss Universe.
She did the former talent, like singing, dancing or playing instrument.
She competed based on categories and went on to win the title.
Oh, so did she not have to do a skill?
No, apparently the Miss Universe pageant isn't like Miss America,
so it doesn't have a talent portion.
Oh.
Damn, the talent's the best part.
Hang on, Miss Congeniality.
What a lie.
I thought the talent was a big part of it.
A huge part of it.
What are you going to do?
I would see this for arms.
Hang on so, Jenna Hawkins just had to strut her stuff and be the most beautiful.
Yeah, just be good.
She had to be, yeah, confident, poised and intelligent.
Ah, because they do the interview.
Who can't do that?
Easy.
Easy.
But yes, that's where we come to the Miss World particular ducco in Chile.
July.
Because you have to win, obviously, your nationals to go on to compete in Miss World,
to go on to compete in Miss Universe.
Okay.
So we're here in Chile because they've just had their Miss Mundo.
Oh, Miss Mundo.
Obviously it means world in Spanish.
Miss Mundo, Chile.
The winner is a 27-year-old, gorgeous bombshell.
Her name is Ignacia Fernandez.
Yeah, Fernandez, yeah, I thought you wanted.
I want to give you a snapshot of Ignatia.
This is her being interviewed.
I can translate for you afterwards.
Right.
I'm very grateful of all the support that I've done,
and all the carino that I've done,
She's a passionate animal rights activist.
She has a lot of heart, a lot of soul, let alone her good looks.
Great accent.
But in the talent portion, we got to see another side of her.
So good.
So they still miss the world, Miss Chile.
Miss Chile.
Is it like a struggle?
What?
I'm not Miss Universe at least.
They got to do the talent.
They got to do the talent.
And Ignatia, that beautiful, poised, intelligent woman rips out this.
Oh, that's Ignatia.
She's a heavy metal rock singer.
Bro, death metal.
She fronts a band.
Yeah.
That's her?
So this, that's her.
So this is this.
I'm very grateful, very grateful.
That's a 20-7-year-old supermodel.
Wow.
Geez, that's a real.
That is, you know what?
Like, that is a real talent.
It is a skill and a half, hey.
I know Sandra impressed us with the water glasses.
The water glasses are great.
The heart fall out of the water.
She is the lead singer of a band called DeSessis.
So they knew she was a lead singer.
Babs is one of Babs' favorite bands is DeSces.
She's got the T-shirt.
Yeah, I can see Babs going to a show like that.
You know, we have Oz Music Day.
She does Chilly Music Day and she wears the Decesses' T-shirt.
Jeez.
But that got her into the top 20.
She has just clinched the crown.
She is Miss World Chili.
She will go on to compete in Miss World.
world and then in this universe and why I wanted to bring up Jen Hawkins is because
I'm excited I was excited to see Ignatia do that on the universe stage that's cool but now you're
telling me that I don't do the that's probably the main reason she won't because people watching
because I've always wondered how heavy metal singers put their voices and throats through that oh my god
and continue yeah to do it and talk and obviously she's going to be interviewed now yeah for the
next 12 months she's obviously the face of it she can snap back into just speaking so sweetly
The video's funny, though, because, like, she gets her guitarist on stage from the band.
Carlos starts jamming out, and she's going, and the crowd is just not a heavy metal crowd.
So they're just like, oh, my God.
They're shocked, because she's in the beautiful ball gown.
She's wearing her sash of Santiago, her region.
The last girl just came on and played The Spoons.
What's happening?
Good on, you, Ignatia.
Yeah, well done.
I'm like, I'll have to say Jen Hawkins do that.
Jess and Ducco.
Yesterday, did something very exciting.
I'll be posting about it eventually, but I just want to talk about it because it was so funny not to tell you.
you guys.
So Westfield, and the Westfield specifically here at Qatar, I'm doing animal pet photos
with Santa.
Okay.
You can bring in any pet you want.
They've literally said that.
There were chickens and a turtle the night before I went.
Pardon me, there was some chickens.
A llama and a horse has gone into Westfield.
What?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, I thought the chickens were wild.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But someone brought a horse in.
That means I had to drive in with a horse float.
and bring the horse in.
And there was a Shetland pony as well.
Did they have the bag around its nuss?
Because a horse doing a puppy in a Westfield.
Have you seen those?
You know, like the horses that do the carriage rides,
they put like this saddle bag around its butt to catch the puppy.
Yeah.
Like if you don't want to drop on the road or something.
Absolutely.
That's crazy.
So you rolling in.
With your dog.
I roll them with him.
No big deal.
But here's the thing.
You're meant to do it.
So you got a book, right?
And it happens on a, I think they do a Monday, Tuesday night.
And do they put you in a time slot like around other dogs?
Or are they like, ah, it could go from horse to chicken, to dog, to dog, to turtle.
Back to llama.
Back to llama.
Back to axoloddle, whatever you want.
I wanted to take our show fish, but then they'd be unplugged from the electricity and they could die.
We need the filter going.
But when I went, they're like, oh, we want you to promote it.
I'm going to do a real for it, whatever.
We'll post about it next week.
But I went during shop hours.
Because, like, normally, because they want to me, flow, Morgan and Pam.
Now, normally people go when you bring pets in, it's Monday or Tuesday night.
So the centre's closed.
It's just people coming in with pets, right?
So you can walk a llama through the shopping centre and not cause a ruckus.
And I found out yesterday when I went to the shops at around 10.55 with my anxious dog and daughter, why they do it when it's close.
Yep.
Because, you know, Pam's got crippling anxiety, paula thing.
We're like, oh, this is a phone.
Did you dose her?
We did.
We gave her a bit of a stronger dose.
And look, she's getting a lot better.
But, and I think flow, I always used the term, flow was Pam's COVID.
Like, Flo changed everything for Pam.
And so since then, she's a bit better at dealing with things.
Yep.
She's a bit more resilient.
more resilient.
So we go into Westfield.
What I didn't care for is that
A, Santa's big and scary and Pam's
got anxiety, and B, because
Santa was there, obviously, and Pam
has never met Santa. No, no. And B,
yesterday was the 11th hour
of the 11th day of the 11th month.
Remembrance Day. The last post
plays at 11am. To stop everyone down.
And I totally blanked on that.
And we get to
Westfield at 1055.
We're going with Pam.
Pam's walking through. All these people are like, all
the oldies there and I'm looking and I's like, what's going? Why's that dog here?
That doesn't have a yellow Hivey's vest.
That's not a support dog.
I'm looking at that.
I've got a tie to my waist with flow over my shoulder.
We're walking in your active way.
Morgan's filming me.
I'm walking like, this is the best thing either.
Pam's like going pretty well.
We walk into Santa's little area where the elves were and stuff.
She goes through and then Santa gets up and Santa's like, oh, oh, oh, hello.
And then Pam just goes,
Ro-R-R-R-R-R-A-H! Like went off at Santa.
You can't be going off at Santa.
This is his time.
It echoed throughout the entire.
Why a shopping centre because it's on the ground floor and it's just everyone stopped.
It was like everyone stopped.
It was like the music in Westfield stopped.
There's a dog attack.
It was like dog attack because Pam's bark.
It's big.
It's deep.
It's aggressive, right?
She's going off at Santa.
And then all of a sudden Santa stands up and.
And everyone stays dead still obviously out of respect.
Stop what you're doing.
We did it here in the office.
And Pam's going.
Or you can hear under the last part.
And shaking.
Shaking.
baking the poor little thing.
Vibrating with rage and I'm like patting her and patting her and the last part.
And Morgan's look at me going, we need to leave.
We need to get out right now.
Sorry, were she still filming at this point?
No, she'd stopped.
And she was like, we need to leave.
Good idea.
We need to leave.
And I was like, Morgan, the last post, don't move.
So they couldn't move and Pam's, they're like,
and Santa's just kind of trying to hide from Pam.
Santa's clutching his neck.
She's going to go for the jugular.
Oh, no.
How am I going to make my delivery?
How am I going to do it?
So then, anyway, the last post finishes.
I pato, pat her.
She comes, when Santa came back, she just completely did a 180 and settled.
Okay.
And everyone was totally fine after that.
Santa was very good with dogs.
He's used to reindeer.
He's good with animals.
Absolutely.
Flo comes back.
Flo was loving life.
Flo had the first day was wearing shoes and was just smiling and laughing and having the best time out.
She's like, what an entertaining morning.
This is.
This is fantastic.
We got Pam, I'll put the photo out.
We got Pam up on Santa's chair next to Santa.
How did you go from I'm about to attack this bloke?
She's just too.
Pam's like that, though.
She gets anxious and scared and goes for the bark.
And then when everything settles and no one hurts her, she's totally chilled.
She's like, actually, I like you now.
That's what I was saying.
The elves are like, she's actually quite a nice dog.
Jess and Ducko in the morning.
Jess and Ducko's 10K alpha bucks on it.
Yes, indeed.
You have 30 seconds to answer 10 questions.
All starting with the same letter.
We have to take your first answer.
Cannot use the same answer twice.
If you're unsure of the question, say part.
We come back.
If there is time, stepping up to play today, we have Katie.
Hello, Katie.
Hi, how you going?
Good names.
Katie.
Katie.
Katie.
Katie.
Are you going to win 10 grand?
I hope so.
No, wrong.
Come on, Katie.
Yes, definitely.
Yes.
Yes.
It's all about energy and attitude when you're facing down the barrel of that timer,
Katie.
You've got to look it in the eyes and say, you don't scare me.
Tell the time.
Come on, Katie.
Tell it.
You don't scare me, timer.
Yes.
Katie.
What do you want to spend 10 grand on?
Well, this might be boring, but we'd love to put it towards drilling for war.
Places looking a bit dry out here at the moment.
Okay, very good.
Now, pardon my ignorance.
Will 10 grand cover that for you, or is that?
I'm not sure, actually.
I think it depends how deep they have to go with.
Fair enough.
Well, you're not going to believe what your letter is, Katie.
What's you got?
W for water.
Oh, I'm going to find water.
Oh, gosh.
Okay.
That feels like a good omen for Katie and the family.
family.
Yeah.
You're ready to rock?
Okay.
Yep.
Okay.
What did I say?
You're not scared of the time of Katie.
Grab it.
Grab it.
Show it who's boss.
Your time will start after the first question.
Starting with the letter W, we need you to name.
A country.
Wales.
Something in the kitchen.
Water jug.
A reality TV show.
Pass.
A band.
Waves.
An occupation.
A school subject
A comedy film
A Puss
A noun
A noun
A cartoon character
Well
No good
We're not boring for water on Katie
We're not boring for water
You only got yourself
Four
Some creative answers
There actually three if Wapes is
isn't a band. Apparently, it's the waifs.
Sorry, Katie. We need to pay the tea.
We need to pay the tea otherwise. Yeah, we're going to be stickler for that.
So you actually got three.
Look, reality TV show, shot guys' favourite, wife swap.
A band could have been Wolfmother or Wheatis.
A school subject, world history, woodwork, the comedy film, wedding crashes.
A noun.
I know, you said wait, didn't you?
You meant like, I'm waiting.
That would be a little.
Yeah, we're looking for a war or a wagon.
However, like a wait at the gym.
Yeah.
would be a noun. Oh, yeah. How did you spell it? Yeah, how'd you spell it in your head?
Oh, we can give it to you before. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, like a physical heavy weight.
An object. Cartoon character could have been Winnie the Pooh. Look, you don't get the money.
We're not boring for the water, but you do get a hundred dollars of fuel thanks to the absolute
legends at O'Brien. Awesome. That will go a long way. Thanks very much.
Awesome. Thanks for joining the show, Katie. You're a delight.
Thank you. Thanks, legend.
Bye.
Brutal, man.
It was. Yeah. I was just fading now. She said another bye.
Nothing's worse than the slow fade down.
Oh, it says.
Ah, the ultimate power.
Up next, more chances at Kendrick the Marche.
Slicky, Kendricky.
Slicky, Kendricky.
We're asking you on 13, 1060,
what'd you eat that you shouldn't have?
Oh, no, you're not going to believe what one woman's eating.
From Aldi.
Yeah, what did you put in your mouth?
Lute off the tail of Swift.
Bit of Opelike.
Jess and Ducko.
What did you eat that you shouldn't have?
Maybe you thought it was something else.
Maybe someone lied to you.
Oh, yeah.
Like Aldi have lied to you.
to their shoppers, apparently.
Aldi has come under fire, allegedly.
Alie has come under fire because they have a dog treat that people thought was human.
Okay. I'm going to need to see maybe a picture of the packaging.
Yeah.
Bab, can you see?
It's here, right?
So it's the new doggy dessert.
How's this happened?
Doggy dessert tubs, which come in unusual flavors like carrot and apple or pee,
had been in the freezer aisle.
Hmm, pee ice cream.
Well, you know who the people had to fire it up about this?
The vegans.
So essentially, because it's essentially vegan.
friendly.
The vegans have seen it and gone, oh, yay, and they've all had it.
Okay, they're like, well, I can't have milk in my ice cream.
Maybe I can have some pee.
Exactly.
Thank you, Aldi for providing me an option.
I'll have this.
And then they've not actually realized because it says doggy dessert, even though it's next
to your normal Aldi desserts, your mini frozen yogurts, your ice creams.
It's even got a dog on the front cover.
But see, I would put dog on any sort of marketing because dogs are our favorite.
It's a dog wearing cool aviators licking an ice cream.
I mean, I want that.
It looks fun to me.
Aldi shoppers have all boarded.
It was like that Labrador that's in the quilts and toilet paper ad.
That's for humans.
I don't assume that's dog toilet paper.
Very true.
He's just used in the marketing.
You can market dogs.
You can use dogs in human marketing.
But the fact it is in the human dessert freezer section.
So people saw it and went, oh, okay, it must be human dessert.
Have taken it home board it and then realized this is actually just for dogs and then gotten angry at Aldi for putting it in the human dessert section.
I guess like with dog food, which would be on a shell.
to install a freezer in that area,
that obviously would be logistically a lot harder.
So they've had to go, well, there's some freezer space.
We'll just chuck it in there.
Signage, though, not clear enough.
Yeah, not clear enough.
Look, and essentially it's not like eating dog biscuits
or like a can of dog food.
Like, it is pretty human friendly.
And to be honest, daco, not that I want to,
but even with like Royal Canon dog food or whatever,
is that bad for people?
Like, what is in it?
I don't know.
That could be, besides it maybe being yucky.
Yeah, yeah, gross.
Like, we buy Gianni, our dog, human-grade dog food,
and all the marketing, I don't care for it,
is humans literally taking a spoon and eating these fresh, frozen...
Like slabs of...
Like gruel, it looks like.
Because they're trying to say...
Anyone can eat it.
You could eat it?
And that's why we're giving it to your dog.
We're not putting all this crap in it.
So similarly, with the ice cream, why the vegan's getting upset.
Who cares?
If it's good enough for Rover, it should be good enough for you.
Exactly.
People saying they brought tubs them and loved it.
went back and got more than realized.
Oh, then looked at the tag.
Yeah, and I've been blowing up at Aldi's staff about it.
Aldi staff are coming into fire for putting it in the human ice cream area.
I don't know if Aldi have a dog ice cream section, but maybe they need to.
They're not going to do that.
Pam's had this ice cream before.
Some cafes also serve it.
Does she like the pumpkin?
Yeah, pumpkin.
Very good.
They love it.
They lick it out a little tub.
Have you ever been tempted?
Have a little lick yourself?
I haven't actually.
Should be good enough for daddy.
You know me and ice cream, though.
Yeah, that's true.
But this is vegan.
It's not dairy.
So true.
I could have it.
It's more of a sore bay.
When I was doing the, today's show, somewhere in the middle of rural Queensland.
We're wearing a coconut bra, I assume.
Yeah, doing something like that.
No, I think I was in some cowboy outfit.
I tried carrot ice cream because it was the biggest region of growing carrots in the country.
Not necessarily dog ice cream.
No, no, no, it was human carrot ice cream.
We've got an abundance of carrots.
And we chuck it in the, um, what's that thing?
You've got the ninja creamies.
We all had it.
And I'm eating.
I'm going, you know what?
I actually quite like this.
And all these kids are with me and we're live.
And they go, all right, here you go, a little Timmy.
you try this, and they have it.
It's always bloody little Timmy hanging around you.
And literally, little Timmy has it.
And his face goes like,
mm, yuck.
And the owner of the Karadasker was next to me.
He's like, anyone likes it.
I'm like, anyway, thanks so much, guys.
You're onto a winner here, Chip.
Everyone loves it.
But similarly, this, yes, and we want to know,
13, 1060, what did you eat that you shouldn't have eaten?
Maybe it was in the dog food realm.
Well, people have come out and said,
because some of those cookies that like the dog shops,
the pet barns or whatever,
some of them are beautifully decorated.
That could be.
a steak and for a human cookie.
Yeah, absolutely.
People have come out and said, my dad used to snack on, like, dog food, like biscuits.
Yes.
Like, just eat the biscuits.
Schmackos.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
God's go a wacko.
God's got a whack-a-for-schmacko.
Good.
So does Dad.
So does Dad's just eating it, like a, the schmackers are in the long bars.
They almost look like a Wonka bar.
They do.
Like a curly well.
A curly well, something like that.
Yes, but made out of jerky or something.
Can we even do, do you eat pet food?
Are you happy to admit it?
Are you happy to admit you're eating pet food?
Or what do you eat that you shouldn't have eaten?
there was something in your food.
That you go, well...
Hang on a minute.
I ordered X.
I didn't realize there was Y in it.
You fill in those plates.
You feel on the bike.
Jess and Ducco.
13, 10, 60.
What did you eat that you shouldn't have?
Well, when Aldi are going to put ice cream that is marketed for dogs.
Yeah.
Next to the ice cream that is marketed for humans.
Idiots.
People are going to get confused, namely the vegans,
because they saw vegan ice cream.
Pea flavour.
Carrot apple or pee as you go, yeah, as you jump right,
should we get carrot ice cream tonight, honey?
Yeah, let's do that.
God, let's be so naughty.
Let's get naughty.
Let's get a pee flavor.
Honey, it's our anniversary.
How do you want to celebrate?
Obviously, pee ice cream?
Pea ice cream, please.
Look, they've been taking off side.
It was next to the ice cream and the yogets that were for human consumption.
This was actually for dogs.
However, the ingredients, it's essentially vegan ice cream in some sort.
It's not too bad.
It's not like it's bad for you.
No, not at all, but people are getting upset that they've eaten dog ice cream.
Dog ice cream.
So we want to know.
What have you eaten that maybe you shouldn't have?
Or have you eaten dog ice cream?
Or if you'd like to admit you've eaten dog ice cream.
If it's good enough for bubbles, it should be good enough for you.
Gubbles loves it.
Casey, good morning.
Good morning.
Babe, what have you eaten that maybe shouldn't have?
Some raw chicken breast.
Oh, Casey.
How did that happen?
Well, when I was a child for some reason, my brain thought it would be yummy to eat.
And when my mom would cut it up for dinner, I would, I,
I should leave it on the bench and I would just sneak a few pieces away.
You're like, I'm going to be so cheeky here.
I'm going to have some raw chicken.
I guess how old are you?
You don't really understand salmonella.
No, you don't get it.
Yeah, I think I was up to probably about 12 and then I ended up in the hospital with food poisoning.
Oh, I got just getting old enough there to understand that.
We don't have raw chicken.
There's a reason why mum cooks this, to with an inch of its life and it's always dry.
It's always dry.
Trying to avoid any disease.
Absolutely.
Okay.
We go to Mitchell on 13, 10, 60.
Mitch, where you eat that you shouldn't have?
How you going?
I was cooking dinner one night for the family when I was about 13 or 14,
thought I'd be smart and be, get some roundy points by cooking some food.
And I pulled some mince out of the fridge,
de-frosted it, made some homemade Rissals, served it up.
And my mum's like, where did you get this from?
And I'm like, the back freezer.
I'd already eat in mine.
And she turns out it was pet mints.
Fantastic.
So I cooked everyone at pet mints for dinner.
And did they eat it?
Nope.
Mom flag.
And Mitchell was hungry.
He shoveled his in.
Would you, if Mitch didn't get hurt, like,
let's just have it.
But also Mitch, again, I ask you, like,
do you mean it was just mince?
But it was meant for the animals.
So it was, I didn't realize at the time,
but it was like a bone,
it was all like pet mince.
Like bones and all that means.
Oh, awful and grist.
Copy that.
Yeah, that's not what you want.
Like it's technically food.
Yeah.
But whether you want to be eating that.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's nose to tail.
That's using the whole animal.
That's everything.
No wastage.
Wendy, what did your dad do?
My dad.
Well, we used to get the dog's smackos,
and when we opened a packet,
we put them in a glad bag in the fridge,
and he thought they were beef jerky,
so he ate all the smackos.
Okay, genuinely, Wendy, we were joking
when we were talking about people
just snacking on smackos,
but your dad genuinely snacked on smackos,
that's fantastic.
And I think it's like doggy cocaine.
The dog just loved it.
They do love it.
It can't be good for them because whenever Pam gets a little smacko treat,
this is back a long time ago.
Yeah, before she was on her clean, paleo diet.
Yeah, absolutely.
She would go nuts for it.
Yeah.
But we would do, we would hide them in the house, like, under the lounge and things,
and let the dogs in, and they had to go find them.
Geez, I thought you were going to say, and let your dad sniff it out.
Dad went looking at.
Jess and daco.
I reckon producer shy guys having a glass of milk.
Glass of milk and a little biscuit, aren't you?
My milk, my milk.
My milk.
My guy dips.
I'm so excited.
I want Shy Guy's box.
As you should be, it is that time of the week again
where you get to join royalty, I should say.
And guess what Shy Guy is dipping?
I don't know if we're allowed to say this.
Yeah.
This is the last time.
Oh, yes.
We'll be dipping a cereal.
Because next week we move to something special.
That's right.
In the run to Christmas, we are changing it up.
And that's not to do, nothing to do with.
the fact that shy guy's been complaining about
how niche we're having to get with
cereals because he's done so many
of them. Well, he's done a whole year of it.
He came in, what, maybe 10 weeks and he goes,
we're done, we can't do any more. And then we went,
have you been to Eldie? Come on. Oh, I don't want to go to
Eldy. Then he went to an American
shop and we had a spate of lucky charms
and tricks. Yep. But today,
to write your name in the history book, Stucke,
forever. You need to get involved.
13, 1060. Shy guy's
going to give you a series of clues. You
I'll have to tell him which cereal is in his hot little hands for the last time.
Oh, yeah.
What do you got, Shagah?
First clue.
It's a white box.
Ooh.
Hoo-hoo-hoo.
He just gets better and better.
He just gets so good.
But you've been doing it for two years.
You'd hope it'd get better and better.
Is it possible to get worse than something we're doing for two years?
I think it's possible to plateau.
131060.
First cab off the race.
Frank always gets another clue.
So, let's see if you can get it.
White box, we'll get you on.
Jess and ducco.
Jess and ducco.
I reckon producer shy guys having a glass of milk.
Glass of milk and a little biscuit, aren't you?
My muck, my milk.
Shy guy dips.
I'm so excited.
I want Shy guy's box.
Would you like your name etched in the history books?
Yes.
Of course you would.
Glory, yes.
Well, you've got to play Shy Guy Dips
because today, right here, right now,
is the last time we'll be.
dipping a cereal.
Yeah, we move on to something.
I'm going to say cooler next week, or different.
It's different.
Absolutely.
There's something for everyone with shy guy dips.
But today is our last cereal.
We have been told, White Box.
White Box.
Elijah has called through.
Good morning, Elijah.
Good morning.
Dahl, you get another clue because you're our first caller.
So put these two things together.
Okay.
White Box, Elijah, and two words.
Oh, geez, he's getting loose.
isn't he?
Elijah.
He's getting loose.
What is the cereal?
Cheerio.
Oh, that's a good guess.
Ah, it's only one word.
It's one word.
He didn't pivot there.
No, I reckon he came in with Cheerios and locked himself in.
You've got to pivot.
You've got to listen.
It happens.
You know what I mean?
Simon.
Simon.
Hello, Simon.
How are you?
Yeah, we're good.
White box.
Two words.
You get another clue.
Made of four simple ingredients.
It says on the box.
Don't ask me what they are.
No filler or killer.
Four simple ingredients.
Simon.
I was going to say cinnamon toast crunch, but I'm going to pivot to fruity bite.
That is two words.
That is two words.
Now, I don't have a box of fruity bites in front of me.
I reckon there'd be more than four.
Yeah, yeah.
There's a bit on in the fruity bites.
There's a bit on in the fruity bites.
Jensen, we go to you on 131060.
Good morning, Jensen.
Good morning.
Jensen, are you hungry?
Not really.
Okay.
You should have breakfast.
Hey, Jensen, six, seven.
Hey, Jensen, six, seven.
Yes.
So cool.
Nailed it.
Jensen, we've heard it's a white box.
It's two words.
Four simple ingredients, but you get another clue and you put it all together.
Jensen, there's a bird on the box.
A bird.
Bird on the box.
He's trying to pivot.
What do you got for us, Jensen?
Um, Telog, Special K.
What, what time?
Kellogg's Special K.
Special K.
Can I give Jensen some kudos?
Yeah.
You've got the right brand.
Yeah, you do.
Is that a right, shy guy?
I mean, I've said it out loud now.
You go on half his here with the clothes.
Well, I'm just...
Hang on.
Jensen, I think, needs kudos.
He does, you know.
He got the...
He hit me with a 6-7.
I'm just really in Jensen's can.
And who knows what you meant?
No, my dear.
I don't even think he does.
I'll probably get cancelled now because it actually.
It means something quite bad.
Pierce, hello.
How's it going?
Pretty good, babe.
For the last time, Pierce, we've got a cereal in front of us.
White Box, two words for simple ingredients.
There's a bird on said box.
You get another clue.
Yeah, it says at the top, original and best.
Oh, geez, hang on a minute.
He's just bloody fettered into Pierce's mouth.
Like a mother bird to a baby bird.
He just regurgitate.
He didn't golly it.
Yeah, you did.
That's how they regurgitate the worms.
Pierce.
What do you think it is?
Look, I only needed the one clue, which I think was just a white box,
so I'm going to go cornflakes.
Wow!
You might be so surprised to know that in 2025 we have not yet done cornflakes!
That is crazy.
And for the last time, Pierce, you have taken out?
You've done it.
You're the last ever champion to win cereal.
I'm a box dipper.
You get a box of cornflakes.
We'll send you some Jess and Ducko merch,
and you can etch your name on our wall of glory.
But we do need something from you, Jess.
We need something from you, Jess.
For the last time, Ducco?
Yeah, until we change it next week.
That's right.
Hi.
Well, we're going to say box next week.
We'll have to workshop.
Pierce, hi.
Hi.
My name's Pierce, and I'm so excited.
I just won Shy Guys box.
Just one shy guys box.
Imperative we get this right.
Rolling Radio and Pierce take one.
Hi, my name's Pierce and I just want to be clean.
Wait, wait for action.
Three, two, one, action.
Hi, my name is Pearce and I just want Shy Guys box.
You need to be so excited, Doug.
Hi, my name's Pearce and I'm so excited.
I just want Shy guys box.
Just want Shy guys box.
Take two, Pierce and action.
Hi, my name is Pierce and I am so excited.
I just want shy guys box.
Jess and Ducko.
Ducco, there was a thread doing the rounds on BuzzFeed the other day,
and it caught my attention.
Yeah.
The headline, move over, Jack of All Trades.
We've now got Jill of All Skills.
Oh, Jill of All Skills.
You remember, girl math went around for a while.
Then we had girl dinner that went around for a while.
Now women are sharing their girl tools.
Oh, okay.
They are not literally, they've used a spanner to do a certain job.
Right.
It's literally things they are using in place of maybe your standard tools just to get the job done.
Okay.
One woman said, I don't own a screwdriver, but I do own tweezers.
And that's all I needed to put the screws into the legs of my TV cabinet.
There's some strong tweezers.
That must be some heavy-duty tweez.
Yes.
What's the screwdriver?
The Phillips head.
I didn't know if that was comparable to her eyebrow tweezer.
This girl has worked it out.
It's not going to let her stop her.
Another woman has said I was changing the doorknob on my bathroom door,
but the hole wasn't big enough for my new doorknob.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I used an electric nail file.
Maybe it's similar to what we use on the doggies.
It's basically like it spins really fast.
I use that on our child.
There you go.
I have the kid one.
Yes.
She used that to create a larger hole in her door for the doorknob.
And that worked?
And it worked.
She said, I don't...
How strong is that?
I don't need no drill.
Look, she's got the little picture and everything there.
Someone else has said, when I'm building like an IKEA flat,
pack, and it's obviously got 15 of this screw and 14 of these little dows, I use a muffin
tin to keep them all separate.
That's a great idea.
That's clear.
That's smart.
Because I never keep, I always think, oh, keep them separate, then you lose them.
You put them on the floor and you step on it.
You don't know which one's weird.
One rolls under the couch.
Muffin tin, very clever.
Someone said the handle on my microwave broke off.
It was a cheapie.
It broke off.
So I got a pop socket.
You know the things you used to put on the back of your phone?
So you could hold it a bit more comfortably, take better self.
You can just grab it out.
That's funny.
So she's put that in the corner of her microwave.
Doesn't get a new $20 microwave.
Just puts the pop socket on it.
I could not go to Kmart for a new microwave.
Just use me pop socket.
Yeah.
This one I love.
A woman said, my first adult job.
My female boss needed to hammer in a nail.
There was a loose situation.
One of the floorboards took off her stilettos and used the heel of her stiletto to pound in the nail.
That would have worked.
Who needs a hammer?
That's so good.
But you've got a strong pair of heart.
I love the idea that she's in stiletto as a dress or something or a skirt and she just takes off then in there.
She's like, I don't need a man and I don't need a hammer.
And then the final one, I think a lot of women can relate to this, the humble hair tie.
It's not just to keep your hair in a slick back pony.
Hair ties have lots of uses.
Absolutely.
I'll use them to, you know, round up a bag of chips, round up the packet of pasta.
This woman said the bathroom lock was dodgy.
So I fashioned a proper lock, well, at least a temporary lock, out of my hair tie to keep me safe while I went wee.
What? That is clever.
Jill of all skills, baby.
Jill of all skills.
Girl tools, we salute you.
I love it.
That is very fun.
Where you might see a heel, other people see a hammer.
Yeah.
Women in particular.
That is the quote of this show.
Where you see a heel, people see a hammer.
That's confusing though, because you aren't using a heel as a hammer.
But you get what I'm saying.
30 seconds to answer.
Ten 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 questions, say pass.
We come back, of course.
If there is time, we are playing for $10,000.
And our player today is Tamika.
Good morning, Tamika.
Good morning.
Tamika, how you're feeling for a Wednesday, Dar,
with $10,000 staring at you?
It's within arms reach, doll.
Well, I was a little bit less nervous about 45 seconds ago,
but now you got me.
Yeah, now we're on.
We absolutely freak people out.
Babs is that calming presence, but as soon as people come to us...
Jess and ducco.
Pan.
What do you want the money on?
Okay, a holiday, okay, please hold.
Jess and ducco, please hold.
That's exactly how it went.
Is that what you said?
You want to spend it on a holiday?
Yeah, yeah, we'd love to go to Japan.
Japan, we love.
Got some house renovates to do.
Yeah, hey, you could use this money for lots of things.
Absolutely.
You make it work for you to make it.
And the letter that you need to work with
to book yourself over to Japan.
Yeah.
Going to the top of the alphabet, it's A.
Don't even any Japanese things like with A.
That'd be something, I just can't, you know.
A-O-K or whatever.
A-O-K.
You're ready, Tamika?
Yeah, I'm ready.
All right, let's rock and roll.
Your time will start after the first question.
Starting with the letter A, we need you to name.
A country.
Austria.
A vegetable.
Pass.
A horror movie.
Oh, past.
A medication.
Aspirin.
Something in the kitchen.
Asparagus.
A sports competition.
Pass.
An occupation.
Oh, I don't know, pass.
A verb.
Um.
Oh, no, the wheels fell off the wagon.
The wheels fell off the wagon.
We ended up with three.
Oh, shocking.
Not great, not terrible, but more of the terrible.
We've had noony runs, Tamika, so three, you know.
Yep.
Get the clothes on.
Awesome.
A vegetable could have been asparagus, which I believe you said later,
if it's something in the kitchen.
It could also be an old machine, a horror movie,
a nightmare on Elm Street or Alien,
a sports competition, the AFL.
We could have had that.
An occupation, accountant, and a verb attack,
but I think we'd given up by that stage.
Oh, yeah.
We don't get the cash,
but this is still great from the legends at O'Brien.
You do get 100.
dollars of fuel, okay?
That was great. Thank you so much.
Thanks, Tamika. You have a great day.
Yeah, you too. See you later.
Bye.
Oh, geez. We've broken it, huh?
Which feels like, you know,
sorry, us.
You did it yourself.
We gave it the opportunity.
Also, I'm eating toast right now because I'm on the white diet ahead of my colonoscopy is Friday.
So now I'm having white toast with butter and cheese.
Can we also just bring the rice cookers in for anyone who does enjoy toast?
I would argue that's 99% of the population.
Ducco has let it cool.
So he's having, like, room temp, if not kind of cold.
That is not the way to enjoy toast.
People eat this stuff willingly with the cheese?
Anyway, I've got to get through it.
You do have to get through it?
Yeah, yeah, I've got to get through it.
Because next, we have a show announcement.
I don't know if that was the right thing to eat before.
No, neither do I.
I'm heavily regretting my decision.
Yeah, you should have done it on an empty tongue.
Yeah, probably.
Anyway, bear with us.
After Miles Smith, we'll come back to you with a big announcement.
We'll do it next.
Jess and Duckow.
We've got a bit more show to come, obviously.
Yeah.
Some more fun to be had, but Ducko.
Yep.
What's going on, man?
Okay.
Well, I've been teasing this for a while.
I wasn't going to write anything down, but then I was thinking about it last night
about how I wanted to say this.
And so I did write something down.
There is no easy way to say this.
I'll just come right out and say it,
but this will be my last year on the Jess and Ducko show.
This has been my last year on hit, and this will be my last year living in Newcastle.
And my time here will wrap up when the show finishes on December 19th.
Don't want, I'm not getting fired.
I'm not getting walked.
It's not the company.
The company wanted me to stay.
Nothing to do with that.
This is all my own decision.
This wasn't an easy decision, and it's one that's kept me up a lot at night in recent weeks.
But in this industry, it's not often, if at all, that you get an opportunity.
That is just too good to pass up.
And sometimes these opportunities come when you least expect it.
It'll all come out in the coming week.
as to where I'm going and what I'm doing,
but this was a decision I made professionally,
but ultimately and mainly for my family.
I know there'll be lots of shocked people,
lots of shocked rice cookers out there hearing this,
and our core listeners,
and I'm sorry to, you know, to bring this news to you.
As I said, sometimes these things happen
when you're least expecting it
and not looking forward to it.
I moved to Newy and joined this show before COVID even existed,
not knowing a single person in the town
when I was 27 years old, not married with no kids,
and I'll walk away, mid-30s,
married with a beautiful daughter and I made friends for life.
Ah, damn it!
Um, um, ah, damn it, don't, don't get emotional.
It's been an honour.
It's been, uh, it's been an honour and a privilege to do this show.
And, uh, damn it, I really don't want to get emotional.
Why?
This is huge, man.
I wanted to get this out.
To do this show to the people, the amazing people of New South Wales and to do with my best
mate.
Um, the world can be a grim place and lots of people are doing it tough.
so nothing makes me happier
than putting on a smile on people's faces
and being a voice that they can trust every day.
This town has absolutely welcomed me with open arms.
Ah, and embrace me,
even though I'm a dirty Broncos supporting Queensland.
Put pineapple on everything.
It puts pineapple on everything.
It has gut issues.
I've grown so much here as a person and professionally
and it's a place that'll always be my second home
and a place that'll stay with me forever.
And I do really want to thank everyone.
Oh, shut.
Stop it, Docu, stop it.
I truly love what I do.
I love this place.
I love who I do it with.
We've done so many amazing things in my time here
from putting hundreds of people in an ocean bath
and making a human whirlpool,
going on my own hen's party and learning to pole dance,
taking mums out on the town
and getting wild, running up the iconic Merry Weather stairs for an hour to raise money
for men's mental health and finding out that I have little to no sperm live on the radio
and going through a full fertility journey and then having the birth of my daughter flow.
As I said, I've grown so much here and I want to thank each and every person that has welcomed me,
supported me and listened to my weird and wacky ways and stories and embraced me like their own.
This was a decision, as I said, I made for my family.
And as you can hear, it probably wasn't, you know, an easy one for me to make.
It's not as if I was unhappy
I love this show
and I love this team
and I love what we do
and I think we punch well above our weight
and everything that we do
with what we have
and look I'll be here till the end
I think we've got five or six more weeks
December 19
yeah
like to the team
thank you so much
you guys have known now for a few weeks
and this has been a really difficult time
You know, Babs, you know, it's been great watching you grow.
There'll be farewells, like, I'm not leaving right now, and I'll be here for the rest.
But, yeah, like, Babs, it's been great watching you grow, and it's been a pleasure to see you do your thing.
To the Shy Lord, you know, the show took an upward turn, certainly an upward trajectory when you joined.
Thank you.
It's been an honor working with you for the last two years.
It's been amazing working with you.
And, you know, always proud of you and what you do.
And this is something you can't pass up.
Thank you, mate.
I understand.
And, uh...
Oh, yeah, too.
You need it, come on.
This is probably the hardest for Jess, for you, for me, for us.
And it's not something that I was, you know, thinking would happen.
As we said, opportunities happen.
But thank you for being so supportive through this and understanding.
I'm not like that.
Have it made you take it again.
It's been some of the hardest conversations I've ever had to have with you of the last couple of weeks.
And ultimately, you know, you made it easy for me to not be clouded and to make this decision.
You know, I love you.
As a friend, as a broadcaster, as a colleague.
But, um, and I love what we do.
And, you know, we have such a good time.
Such a good time.
So much fun.
And we've had such a good time for, since the minute.
still remember picking you up.
You're new to town.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I still remember picking you up from where they'd put you up at the ridges and you got
in the car and you're wearing a bright party shirt.
I still remember it was like a kind of coral pink and we went for a drink before
meeting the wider team for dinner.
And I just remember going, this is special.
Yeah, yeah.
We're going to have a good time.
We're going to have a laugh.
I remember that so clearly.
because when people come into your life, what do they say?
They're friends for a reason, friends for a season, friends for life.
And I think I knew pretty early on.
Well, I thought I knew pretty early on.
Yeah.
We were in this for life and I saw a rosy future with you.
Yeah, totally.
And it's been...
And this D tour is amazing.
It's been, yeah.
It's incredible.
And I'm just gutted for myself.
Of course, yeah.
For our team for Hit New South Wales.
Wales for the people.
Yeah.
And like I said, like, yeah, unfortunately, these opportunities come when you're not expecting
or looking and you don't get many in this industry and for you to respect that and to
understand that.
And to not make it harder at all.
Understandably.
Not crying your face.
It has been some tough days.
It certainly has.
And as I said, there's been some really tough nights.
And the fact that even with this opportunity coming to me, I still even wanted to stay or was
even considering it stuff, you know, just speaks volumes of you and us on this team.
And as you said, like, you are a friend for life.
And we've had so much fun together.
I'm so proud with what we've done.
I'm so proud of how far we've grown.
On similar trajectories, too, getting married a similar time,
albeit my wedding got cancelled a couple of times and yours was in vogue.
Great bloody content, though.
To the kid's story, albeit I had no sperm and had to go about a different route.
But we still, we go.
Again, great content.
It always seems to be the way.
But, you know.
Our lives, we've interwoven.
Yeah.
We've interwoven.
And I think good chemistry is something that you can't manufacture.
and something that is real.
True friendship, and that's one of the greatest compliments we receive.
People who meet us out and about or people who engage with us online say,
oh, you guys are actually friends.
It's not an act.
Okay, you'd had acting in your past, but we're not actors.
I've been acts from movies and stuff.
They're not good acting.
This is real.
Yeah.
This is real life, real friendship, real relationship, real care, real support.
And that's why we're able to have such a good time.
It is.
And, like, look, I've still got another five weeks here.
and we'll see at the end of the year
and we'll have a lot of fun doing it.
And I just want to enjoy the rest of the time I have here
and with this team and in this amazing town.
And I'm going to miss it.
What?
You're going to have such a crap time.
Like when you leave us, you know, like having a child at a place is just.
Oh, the roots, the roots you put down, of course.
So anyway, as I said, this is very much a family decision.
And, yeah, more will come out about that later.
But I just wanted to get everyone across it.
I wanted to get the rice cookers across it
get the people across it
I feel like I'm Yoko breaking up the band
You know it feels a bit that way
And it's been really tough
You know coming to work every day
And I feel like I'm hearing the people that I love
But as I said
You guys have been amazing and I appreciate it
And I just want to rip and tear for the end of the year
And enjoy it
And I've also got a colonoscum on Friday
Which is just bad timing
Now you know what you deserve
A colonoscopy
Those test results come back okay
Because that'd be just up my wheelhouse
It's for it not to.
They absolutely will.
Look, yeah.
It just sucks.
It's, yeah, look, it's hard.
It's really tricky.
This is the nature of the beast of the game we work in,
and people forget that.
They hear us and hear the show and forget that.
We are also people outside of this with families and lives,
and got to look after ourselves and our team around us.
But, you know, I love you all.
You guys know that.
I love the listeners.
I love the people who've embraced me.
I love this place.
It'll always be a part of me and always be a second home.
So, you know, it's, it's, it's,
It's farewell for now, but not goodbye forever.
That's right.
And certainly not goodbye right now.
We've got a lot more fun to have.
I just want to ease everyone into Christmas.
We're going to ring every ounce of joy and fun and humor and love and laughter to send you off with a bang.
And I should say, Jess, Shagai Babs going nowhere.
You guys are all still going to be here.
I will be replaced.
The wheels will keep spinning.
Life will go on.
The show will be.
The show will be fantastic.
You know what I mean?
It'll just be different.
And difference is not always bad.
Changes as good as a holiday sometimes.
We'll be sending you photos and videos every day of all the fun we're having.
How much you miss us.
Obviously.
And I will miss you guys a lot.
And I have you all to thank for, you know, my development as well,
professionally and creatively as a person.
So yes, that is that.
I'm glad it's out there.
And here's 10.
Here's 12.
Well said,
Charleard, well said.
The consummate professional.
What does he always say?
The show must go on.
It's Taylor Swift now.
It is Jess and Ducco.
Jess and Ducco.
You know, just dropped a bombshell announced.
A few people are messaging us, Ducko.
What did I miss?
I've only just tuned in and people are crying.
That's a fair few people are tearing up.
If you miss the start of that conversation,
I'm not saying it out loud again because I'm still trying to pretend.
It's not real.
Yes.
You can repeat it.
I'm leaving the show at the end.
of the year.
This will be my last year on the Jets and Darko show.
We wrap up the 19th of December, which will be my final show.
So I'm leaving to take up another opportunity, which I can't go in too detail with now.
However, it was for the greater good for my family.
It was like the pro, we talked a lot about the pros and cons list.
Yeah, yeah.
And the pros and cons, pretty neck and neck.
Yeah, yeah.
But when you've got family on one side of that in the pros column, it outweighs everything else.
Yeah, you've got to think about the future and stuff.
So, look, I didn't expect to get as emotional as I did.
Oopsie.
You're not made a stone.
That's one thing we've learned about you the past five, six years.
You are not made of stone.
You wear your heart on your sleeve.
That's why you've connected with so many people.
And now people are messaging.
We've just had a lot of, no, no, no.
Danielle has texted.
She said, well, that's just my day.
My check engine light came on.
And the first thing I hear was ducco leaving.
The universe must hate me.
It's a horrible day.
Sorry, Danielle.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah.
Look, it is real, unfortunately.
It's like losing a bestie, Taylor says.
I've never met you guys, but I love listening to you both every morning.
We wish you the best of luck.
Sad reactions only.
Rachel said, who's cut onions?
Yeah, a lot of messages coming through on Instagram.
Appreciate it.
See all those.
Yeah.
Like I said, I really appreciate everyone's message and appreciate everyone's so emotional about this.
Even the guy or girl, they've not left a name who said, where do I send my resume?
Yeah, well, the body's not even bloody.
cold yet. You know, it's still warm.
You said I'll be replaced. Fair
enough. Open tryouts.
Because Jess and Chargoy and Babs will still be here.
We will still be here. The ship
is rocked with an inch of its life, but
there's a few holes on the boat. But
we're going to plug them up. We will plug them up.
Yeah, yeah. We will continue to have a good time.
It'll never be the same again, obviously,
because I think what you and I have
pretty special. It's good.
It is really good. And it's an ease of
conversation, isn't it? Absolutely. And I just think, look, you've made me better. And if I may say
so, I think I've made you better. And we've elevated to a place that neither of us started in. And to be
honest, I didn't see myself going. Yeah, yeah. But you've been a safety net for me. You've been a
comfort in dark times that maybe haven't made it to air. Let's be real, most of it happens. But the joy,
the laughter, how lucky we are to do a job where our job description, the one dot point, have a good time.
Have fun.
Make other people happy in the rigmarole and the drama and the harshness of reality
you and I can break through of a morning in people's most intimate settings,
whether it's their car, their homes, their kitchen, their bedrooms, their workplaces.
And our mission is to put a smile on your dial.
Yeah.
We haven't done that in the past 10 minutes.
No, it's been a bit tough.
Yeah, sorry about that.
But how real, you know, light and shade.
And as I said, we've been through so much and I've been through so much here.
And I mean, even the fertility journey and stuff, something I'm super proud of from a personal
and professional level, but the response that that got from the community, and, like,
it's that sort of engagement, that sort of stuff where you realise that you can make a difference.
Yes, we get called silly and stupid and crass a lot.
We know that.
We don't shy away from that.
But when push comes to shove, we are there for each other.
We're there for you and we want to make you feel seen.
And if that is a story about, you know, weeing with the door open at home or sharing the most
intimate details about our health.
Yes.
Fertility, that spectrum is why we do what we do and we're so grateful to have this platform.
And you people who listen and we appreciate you.
And I really do love you all and value you and thanks so much for the messages.
And obviously it'll take a couple of days to sort of understand and get through and, you know, post a little video about it today.
Yeah, yeah.
But hey, we still got some weeks left.
So we still got to have some fun, you know what I mean?
That's right.
Someone's just saying, hang on a minute.
I never got to party with you.
Well, I mean, there might be something.
on the cards. I don't know.
You're not leaving tomorrow.
Yeah.
December 19.
December 19's our last day.
Yep.
Oh, goodness.
Yeah.
We're just wrap it up here.
Yeah.
Yeah, we're done.
We're done for the morning, shy guy.
Actually, no.
Yeah.
No.
We can, Brett.
Jess is going to make us wrap next.
I want you to wrap, actually.
Let's, let's come up.
Come up.
Let's flick the year.
As shy guy says, the show must go on.
The show must go on.
We're professionals at the end of the day.
So, you know, anyway.
We're rapping next.
We are.
I'm going to need us all to lean in.
Ducco, I know there's no question that you'll lean in.
I'm all in.
I've invited Babs and Shy Guy to partake in a little game.
Obviously, our call the fame is Kendrick Lamar.
He's a very famous and very talented rapper.
You have to yell it?
He is what the kids call a rapper.
He's a bit yell, yeah, we all yell too.
Around this time yesterday, you gave us a rendition of Incy Wincy Spider.
It was quite somber.
It was quite soulful.
That's my not-time version.
And in a coming together of worlds, I saw a game on TikTok that brings together these two things.
Nursery rhymes and rap.
It's a game that people are playing at baby showers where someone will drop a fat beat.
Hell yeah.
Hand around lyrics of famous nursery rhymes and you have to wrap the nursery rhyme to the rap beat.
Oh, geez, I don't have many nursery rhymes.
That's right.
I've got paper in front of you, Gerald.
Oh, good, good, good.
This is why I pre-prepared.
But what I thought, because it was my idea, I'll go first.
Okay, see, okay.
Can you lay me a fat beat, duck home?
Uh, yeah, uh, Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.
Uh, Jack fell down, broke his crown.
Jill came tumbling after.
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.
Carefully, they brought it down.
gave it to their mother.
Woo!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's called leaning in Chagai.
We're doing.
See Shaghan Bab sink into their chairs more.
Ducco, show us how is that.
Lay yourself down a fat beat, brother.
What is my nurse your arm?
Five Little Ducks.
Well, your name's Ducco.
Oh, yeah, fair.
Obviously five Little Ducks.
I want to hear you rap like Kendrick Lamar.
Turn this TV out.
Okay.
Yeah.
Fieler, brother.
One shot.
Five little ducks went out one day over the hill and far away.
Yeah, mother duck said quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack.
But only four little ducks came back.
Oh!
I went Aussie hip-hop.
That wasn't a big Kendrick here with a quack, quack, quack.
It was.
It was like bliss and Esso met Kendrick.
Yeah, that's what I grew up.
I love that.
Babs.
You've got a different.
So good.
Nursery rhyme.
I do.
I have I'm a little teapot.
Oh, yes.
All right.
Oh, God.
All right.
Here we go.
I'm a little teapot short and stout.
Here is my handle and here is my spout.
When I get all steamed up, hear me shout.
Yeah, tip me over and pour me out.
Oh.
A little bit of lack.
That actually I didn't mind that.
And you were feeling.
I'm a bit more as you went on.
Yeah, well, you know, what can I say?
Short and stout, one of the great lines.
Knock all your fat, I swear.
Now.
I don't know this one.
I knew you wouldn't know many of them.
Hence my printer, the lyrics.
It's open to interpretation.
Shy guy.
I felt you've stitched me up.
You don't, actually, you seriously don't know this one.
It's a sailor when to see.
I know that one.
Everyone knows that one.
I think I know that one, but I'd actually probably have to hear lyrics.
All right, here we go, shy guy.
Drop it, baby.
Mm.
A sailor went to see, see, see, see to what he could, see, see, see.
But all that he could see, see, see, see, was the bottom of the deep blue C, C, C, C, C.
What a dumb nurse are you right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Stella went to C, C, C, C, to see what he could see.
I don't know, that's written ringing no bells.
A sailor went to chop, chop, chop, chop.
Well, where was that lyric?
That's the next verse.
Sorry, would you like all the verses?
No, the amount I did was perfect.
A sailor went to Timbuck, too.
Come on.
Go on, Shaghan, come on, man.
Come on, dude.
No one's loving this more than you.
A sailor went to CCC.
To see what...
Babs, shut up.
Mate, keep feeling your flow, bro.
Come on, you're Kendrick.
Channel Kendrick.
But all that he could see, C, C, C.
Was the bottom of the deep blue C, C, C.
That's enough, man.
Yeah, thank you.
Jess and Ducco.
A very large morning.
Yep, big show.
If you missed it.
Thanks for joining the show with minutes to spare.
Minutes to go.
We're always happy to have you.
Yep, always good.
Ducko did.
I'm not even saying it.
You say it.
I'm leaving the show at the end of the year.
I've, yes, I'm going.
I'm not being fired or pushed.
Don't you dare worry?
This is on my terms.
It was a family decision for an opportunity that's sort of come about.
I announced it much more emotionally than that,
just after 8 o'clock.
He were going, geez, he's not that worked up about it.
He was.
It was hard decision.
He had to look at me in the eye and say, you're dumped.
It feels like a divorce man.
It feels like a breakup, doesn't it?
I have been.
And the kids don't know what to do.
I have been through a rollercoaster of emotions.
Yeah, that's been a tough time.
Truly.
It's been a tough couple weeks.
But now we can make fun of it.
When we can, it's out, I do feel lighter.
Because that's what we do best.
Yeah, I know.
And we don't hold things well inside.
Make fun when it's tough, when it's tough, when it's.
dark, we find the joy, we find
the light. Yes. And whilst this
sucks, we're going to have a great couple of weeks.
We are. December 19, we are wrapping up. That's when we were
always wrapping up. It's not like that's being brought forward or
push back, anything.
We're going to have a good time. We're going to have a great time.
A lot of people asking for a farewell party.
I know. That wasn't on the car. It was not on the car. It was not on the
car. It was not on the car. However, now I feel like I'm going to invite
people around to the in-laws apartment and have some drinks on the balcony or
something.
People want to
straight or something.
I know, yeah.
Maybe we just take over a pub or something.
Yeah, we could do something like that.
We should, we should.
Bab Shaga, I kept sorting it.
On the list.
Chuck it on.
Yeah, look, there'll be plenty of farewells of goodbyes to come over the coming
weeks and we're still going to have much more fun.
The show will still be fantastic.
Yes, it will.
The team will all be here as well next year.
Don't worry.
It's not all a full breakup.
A lot of people asking if certain people are coming back.
No.
Not.
A lot of people asking, where do I send my resume?
Mate, he's not even cold yet.
It's funny, isn't it?
The sharks are always circling.
People think this job is easy because we have so much fun.
People got, I want to do that.
Guys, it's actually, it's really hard on what we don't.
Okay, can you just give us a break?
But by all means, chuck your resume, because I don't know how we're going to, I don't know who could fill your shoes.
Someone did make a crack.
They're obviously not huge shoes being a tiny man.
Maybe that's the problem that they can't, they fill them too much.
You don't overfill.
Yeah, yeah, get blisters that way.
What I've always said, you never want to overfill.
You never want to overfill.
Your Goldilocks, babe.
Just right.
It's just right, you know?
Just an ease in the morning.
Well, I'll ask you if they've got Zeta experience.
Yeah, you do have to...
That's something people aren't considering.
People think they get to do my job, huh?
I'm not the one leaving.
I get the cushy on this side of the desk.
I do sweet FAA.
You got to press the buttons.
Ducco's got six computers in front of him and upwards of 40 buttons.
Yeah.
Do things like this.
What a seven?
Had like a little lump on his peony and I'm going,
oh, you'll be right.
You've just been bitten by something, you know, la, la, la.
Oh, yeah.
Chucky mout.
Yep.
Seam and demons.
But did you die?
You know how it is.
Who's going to be able to do that?
Sonic turd.
It was the Pope!
Oh, do we...
We're crossing life to show guy now.
Is this too...
I wasn't going to ask if Pope Leo could kill him.
Come on, get Leo on the show for my farewell.
Oh, I can't wait for the tribute package.
This is what I was going to ask.
Again, body's not cold, but let's go straight in.
Can we still use all those things?
Boo.
I thought about this the other day.
I mean, you can.
Can, but every time you press it, every time you go,
you're going to think of me.
No, you know when I'll think of you.
It was the fuck!
And Braden.
Has anyone told Braden?
Oh, I don't think Braden.
Hold on, Braden, I'm leaving.
Gutanian.
He's all good.
He's all good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Braden is going to be upset.
Are you still going to hit Jess with the...
Sorry, Jess.
Oh, that's one thing.
I'm getting rid of.
You person won't need to know about that.
I don't tell them.
I'll be hitting them with me.
Shikourn's left, right and centre.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's one upside to this.
We'll figure it out.
We've got a lot to figure out.
There is a lot to figure out.
But what we know...
It's going to be a good time.
What we know is that we're here together for a little bit longer.
Exactly.
I'm taking these two out while you're starving yourself.
Are you going to ask you about?
Are you going to as a team?
Yeah, Babs finally agreed.
Well, hang on.
Now I don't like that.
That's tomorrow.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's not tonight.
I thought it was tonight.
Not that I'm doing anything.
What else are you up to?
We've got to console each other.
Oh, what?
And also, you can't come because you can't eat anything.
I feel like I'm missing out.
You want to come and that's too.
That's cruel.
I'm not allowed.
I don't want to do that because it'll be...
We'll send you pictures.
I think we'll be at Leak phase.
I think you will be at Leak phase.
For more as liquid only.
Yeah, you'll be at Leak phase.
I still feel a weird like you guys...
I know.
Sorry, no, no, no.
You're the one ditching us.
I mean, come on guys.
Abandoning us.
Wow, you know.
You were emotional about it.
out of the other two.
Oh, really.
That's why I've got to drag them into my emotional pit of despair.
Babs was a little, yeah.
I don't know how to deal with emotions, I'm sorry.
I noticed, yeah, I noticed what I told you.
Well, remember a few weeks ago, we very, very morbidly started talking about if you died,
what we do, and shy guy was like, oh, we'd have an afternoon off, but then we'd have to
come back in the morning.
And do we announce at a late tent?
I guess you would, mate.
The time.
Who would do the announcement?
I guess it would be a wreck.
No, Jess would be a little old.
I'd be a wreck.
Yeah, you'd be a winner.
You'd have to build courage.
Jesus, okay.
I couldn't do it.
About Babs, stone cold, Babs out there.
Oh, yeah.
I'm not stone cold.
I am sad about it.
I'm just not good at showing that.
When you look to her when you were breaking up.
Oh, what?
What happens to me?
Not joking.
I was there.
Oh, do I still have a job?
Yes, that's horrible.
Insulate looks at Shaw goes, can I have some of your salaries?
Bath looks at me and goes, are we okay?
Yeah, well, show me okay.
I'm like, yeah, bro, we're fine.
Yeah, and then she starts calling me the wrong name.
They're like she's already forgetting me.
She's testing out new names.
It's been great to what you grow, Babs.
I crammed the monster, I guess.
You did.
We wanted to pump her tires up, and now we pump them too high.
We're out of here.
We are back tomorrow.
Another big show, as always.
It's Thursday.
As Ducko descends into the pits of delirium on day three of the colonoscopy prep.
Looking forward to seeing.
Liquids only tomorrow.
I'm going to be a bit broken, I think.
If anyone has a recipe for white broth, send it to Morgan.
She got me on.
She got you a bite from hot water in this broth next.
So it tastes like absolute bleh.
Oh, God, good luck.
Bring some in.
Should we all try it tomorrow?
Yes.
What?
Yeah.
I'm putting myself through that.
I'm just thinking of stuff we could do, you know.
We've got limited to time now.
Oh, so true.
We're going to do everything we can.
Oh, no.
Should we write a bucket list?
Let's do it.
Let's write a farewell list.
We'll start at the broth.
And look for a replacement and then you know, we'll work it out.
Everything's going to work out.
Everything is going to work out.
We're out.
We're out.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
Sailor went to CCC.
It's like a car cry.
To see what...
Babs, shut up.
Jess and Ducko!
That was the Jess and Ducko podcast.
The new spicy Frank's red hot sauce range has arrived at Maccas.
