Starting point is 00:00:00 Macca's new Tennessee BBQ range, now touring for a limited time. Jess and Dago! This is the Jess and Dago podcast. Welcome to the podcast! Have you missed doing that? Yeah, oh yeah. Four weeks you've been off on paternity leave, haven't been able to introduce the podcast. I know.
Starting point is 00:00:17 How did you guys introduce it when I was off? That was Shy Guy's domain. He didn't do it as lyrical as you. I think it was a bit more straight to business. What'd you say, Shy Guy? What's up? Oh, fuck you, man. There it is.
Starting point is 00:00:30 You didn't tell me today in the show, you dog. Okay. Yeah, yeah. You dog. You absolute dog of a human. It's so funny. It feels like a lifetime ago. It does. I genuinely, I'm so, we had a little, well, TIF seems dramatic, but you said we didn't
Starting point is 00:00:43 play wordy-okey. I'm like, I think we did. No, we did. I checked. I can't remember the four days we did together. Feels like a year ago. The only thing I remember we did was we spent about half an hour talking about the air conditioning system in the studio. That's all I remember from the entire week. It was not the sharpest week in terms of intelligence, Gucko. But I mean, whenever it is on this show.
Starting point is 00:01:01 Oh yeah, you got to ride with it. So here we are. How was your first show back? It felt good. I was a bit like, it actually felt, you know how we go away for Christmas for like five weeks and it always feels a bit, ooh, this one felt the most fish out of water because you've come back after so much has happened
Starting point is 00:01:14 in your personal life. Yeah, like you're a different person, but you have, the world's tipped on its axis. Morgan told me yesterday, I'm still the exact same person as the child. I'm like, I guess that's a compliment. Did you know someone said that to me too and I took it as a compliment'm like, I guess that's a compliment. Someone said that to me too. And I took it as a compliment.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Yeah. I think that's nice. Cause you know, some people, they change a lot. I don't know if this is rude or disrespectful, but it basically becomes a whole personality. Yeah. Oh man. The friend I knew or the cousin or whoever you go, I remember when you used to have a bit more going on.
Starting point is 00:01:41 Yeah. Yeah. Don't lose yourself. Don't lose yourself. Don't lose yourself. Absolutely. And we're so lucky that this job gives us the ability to be our most authentic. Yes. Outside of being parents, wouldn't you say?
Starting point is 00:01:53 But no, it's good to be back. It's fun. Are you chomping at the bit to get home? Like, are you a bit anxious having left the girls? No, I'm not anxious, no, because I think we'll be fine. But I'm more like, oh, she'll want me back. I know, I'll need to go home and change a few nappies. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:07 We'll go for a walk. And you know, six months time where things really start your shit hitting the fan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're just at your desk sending emails. I'll be like, let's not go anywhere. I'll be like, Duggo, what are you doing? Ah, I just gotta address a few things.
Starting point is 00:02:17 I got nowhere to be, baby. But I do wanna show you something. I've been holding this fucking photo since the birth. Yeah. And I'm so excited to show you guys. So we all looked at Jess's birth photo. We couldn't see badge. That's right.
Starting point is 00:02:29 That was a great angle of Lucia. Has Florence gifted you that as well? So you know I did hands on hands. This is the proof of the hands on hands. Babs does not want to see this. No, it's good. No, you can't see more than anything, but you will see very, very, very fresh baby.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Oh cool. And you'll see me holding it. Covered in juice Babs, just prepare yourself yourself you haven't seen anything about my lack of mustache oh I noticed yeah Jess said something first and I noticed when I came in I actually noticed in a photo the other day and I was like something is yeah different it was funny no one is not right no one apart from you two no one comment on it I shaved it and it's just like no one not even my family who saw me one day with it then it was gone the next no one said a I felt, because how long do you reckon you had it for? A couple months?
Starting point is 00:03:07 Yeah, eight weeks, yep. Yeah, it became such a, I don't know, it was so obvious. Yeah, it was just right there. Right there. Yeah, it's gone now, no one's saying anything except for you and Shy Guy. There are only two people to comment on it. Anyway, so this is me catching Flo. She's just born, this is when she was breathing properly and she came out all fine.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Yes. Are we talking seconds out of the canal? She's come out face down. I've just turned her round. And you'll see how much, when he says hands on hands, you'll see really Malcolm's hands are in the gloves. I'm obviously not. You can see mine. He's barely holding her. I've just flipped her around. This is a very, this is a two second old baby. Very fresh. Don't swipe either way because you'll see the duets. Copy that. Don't be doing that. Copy that.
Starting point is 00:03:45 So this is... I've become a bit of a boomer with tech, so I probably would have swiped if you hadn't said that. That's me catching flow. Holy moly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've very much had to cop it. Look at the concentration on your face. You are shitting myself.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Taking this very seriously. Because the whole body, you see Morgan there, legs, everything. I'm like fully catching it, so I've had to flip her around. So when you say you had to flip her around, god look at the juice. Oh It's wild isn't it? And they come out and they're so slippery and you turn around I was like Arrrgh! What do I do with you? Have you, I'm not touching it. She looks like a little orc. Have you cropped this? Yes, we had to crop it. We had to cut it in. Could you see the difference?
Starting point is 00:04:18 Yeah, you can see yeah, yeah, yeah. Can I see the unedited? I'll see if I can find like a wider. It's amazing Yeah, it's wild hey. I didn't realize they like were covered. Oh but they're not all that covered. She's in powder. Yeah it does. It's that white stuff. She's been rolled in icing sugar. It's that white stuff. It's meant to be really good for them and good for their skin. Yes, is it amniotic fluid? It's something like that. Oh no I know what you're talking about and they leave it on for quite a while now. Here's me cutting umbilical cord, proof that I did it. Proof that I did it. Oh, wait, are they proper scissors?
Starting point is 00:04:47 I genuinely thought you used scissors. No, no, no, no, I don't think they would let me. The little scissors. I wanna see if you can see me. Are you looking up what that fluid is called? Yeah. Yeah, she was covered in it. No. She was covered in it.
Starting point is 00:04:59 And they said it's meant to be really good for their skin, so they leave it on them for a bit. Yes, yeah. Even for days, right? Like until the first bath. Yeah. And then you don't bath her for five days. Yeah. She smell really good. Yeah. They just have the distinct, you know what's even weirder is our, look at her here, right Odile, smile.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Wow. It looks like she's covered in Sudokri. Yeah, it does. It's so thick. Yeah. I can't find like a photo of me catching it that's not gonna reveal. What is that called? And because I've heard my midwife was an older lady and she goes, yeah, that's really good. I often will take a little bit off the baby and rub it on my knuckles.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Cause you know, older ladies can get dry skin. Yeah, yeah, right. When you get dry skin. That's fucking right. But she goes, it's the best for dry skin. Stealing some on the side. Yeah, I just. What is that word? I've Googled vernic. Vernic. Vernic, yeah, right dry skin. That's fucking right. But she goes it's the best for um, dry skin. Stealing some on the side. What is that word? I've googled vernex. Vernix? That's the word that I know. Vernix cassiosa.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Oh, that's the full scientific. Yeah, vernex. You can very much see everything in his photo if I was to like, I think you, nah, you don't want to see that. You do not want to see that. It's Morgz' business. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd like to but it's more, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, wow. You can see the tear in that. So did you have a video as well? Just photos? Just photos.
Starting point is 00:06:10 So Morgan didn't want it right up until- Are they live photos though? Oh, I don't know. Hold it. Morgan didn't want it right up until. Okay. And then me and the midwife were like, no, I think you should do this. The midwife was a big nut in a nut.
Starting point is 00:06:19 She changed her mind late in the game for a few things, hey? Like getting the maternity shoot. Albs attrition, getting photos mid-bird-labor. She was a big rice cooker. Do you know what things, hey? Like getting the maternity shoot. Albsotrition getting photos mid-bird labor. She was a big rice cooker. Do you know what's so funny? And they just started taking selfies. I was like, oh my god. Are you sure?
Starting point is 00:06:31 Look at this! He's like posing. Bro. Okay, this is... Albsotrition said... Did you give your photo to someone else? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I gave it to the midwife and she was just taking a bunch of photos and...
Starting point is 00:06:39 You didn't want to borrow the did you, Gav? Yeah, where were you? I thought you were meant to be in there. I thought you were going to Babs... I was wanting you guys to come into the birthing suite. Yeah, yeah. Well, we had a big, where were you? I thought you were meant to be in there. I thought you were going to babble. I was waiting for you guys to come into the birthing suite. Yeah, well we had a big show. I have the same photo with my ostrich.
Starting point is 00:06:51 That's so funny. Just the midwife take and there's just my leg propped up. Yeah, I think we're in the same theatre. We...what? Four. I don't remember. Angus would remember. When you walk in, you go around the corner a little bit. Yes. And show us that photo there, because it looks like the exact same. Oh, nah, I don't remember. Angus would remember. When you walk in, you go around the corner a little bit. Yes. And show us that photo there,
Starting point is 00:07:05 cause it looks like the exact same. Oh, nah, I don't think we were. Nah, okay. Damn. I think you were in the mirror. That's, Matt, what maternity room were you in? I don't even remember why I don't remember. Did you have a double bed?
Starting point is 00:07:17 14. You'd had a double bed, don't you? We had a double bed. Yeah, yeah. Did you end up stringing the fairy lights, or did you do that? Nah, nah, nah. I'll have to give those back to you.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Morgan's like- Thank you for the chopping board, by the way. I saw it on my desk. That's yours. Never fear. Morgan said what? Sorry. She didn't want the fairy. Yeah. She was just like, no, I'm cool. We just dim the lights and we played. I had the bows. How did you dim the lights? We didn't have a dimmer. We had to turn them on or off. No, I swear they would. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:07:38 I swear they would dim. That would have been good. That's why we brought the fairy lights in, because we didn't want the freaking harsh fluorescent lights coming on at 2 a.m. Yeah, so they had like a dimmer mode, where it was like dark up. Oh, well there you go. A year and a half they've upgraded.
Starting point is 00:07:51 I'm glad you got a dimmer. I'm glad I got an electrician. Our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, I'm doing the whole show. Here we go. He's a legend in the hub, Dr. Gary. He's fantastic.
Starting point is 00:08:05 He was a good guy. Yeah, yeah. It was funny. There was a lot of the midwives for Rice Cookers actually, and they were very excited that we were in there. And they did a great job. But yeah. How did Morgan feel about that?
Starting point is 00:08:15 Like people knowing who she was. She didn't care in the moment. I think in the moment she was just so- That'd be a fish to fry, Sam. Yeah, she was just too much going on. Like so, yeah, it was fine in the moment. But now I'm excited too. I was glad to show you guys that photo. That's, ah, it's too much going on like so yeah, it was fine in the moment, but nothing I'm excited to I was glad to show you guys that photo That's wow. It's pretty pretty cool
Starting point is 00:08:28 especially you know how the iPhone and it's not even necessarily this time 12 months ago just randomly bats up memories and When those pop up you go, oh damn Yeah, you should tell Angus to do the catching the hands-on-hands Yeah, so I don't know what cuz he he did catch her, but we didn't have that expression. So now I don't know what the difference is. So did he like put his hands down there and just pull her out? Yeah! Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Yeah, but I'd never heard that phrase before. Because when her head came out, I like guided. I mean, this is very, um, I don't think it's particularly vaginal. I'll just show you, I don't care. Oh, shit! Like, do you want to see, like that's his hands there. Can you see her dragging around? Oh yeah. So is that hands on hands?
Starting point is 00:09:10 Pretty much same thing, yeah. Maybe Colin doesn't call it that. And then they pop out and then you just hold her and pass it to you. But you know what's funny? Look how alien that is. She's come up facing up. Yeah. You said Flo faced down.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Flo was faced down. I was so confused by it. She was, and he goes, you have to turn her around. Interesting. Because I didn't get go, she had to turn around. Cause I didn't get told, oh, she's the wrong way or anything. Cause I remember just waiting out, being like, why is she not facing me? She always looks like she's coming out on the side though,
Starting point is 00:09:32 doesn't she? Yeah, she was a bit side angled. Maybe that's why she, maybe that's why she's breathing. She came face down. Flo, mate. Yeah, yeah. You'll hear about that later. And that's the thing, isn't that funny? Yeah, you'll hear about that in the show.
Starting point is 00:09:40 All that is, who knows what it's affecting. Yeah, I know. In a second's old human being. Oh yeah. I'll tell you what though. That's how's affecting. Yeah, I know. In a seconds old human being. Oh yeah. I tell you what though. That's how I wonder. Yeah, maybe. Cause then did, when Lucia came out to Angus
Starting point is 00:09:52 and just grabbed her and passed her to you? I think so. Yeah, cause I turned her around. He didn't even touch her. He's just like, yeah, put your hands on her. I got her out. Then I turned her around. Then I passed her to-
Starting point is 00:10:02 Oh, this is a bit, maybe I can crop Vag out, but have a look at this. Show Babs first as a... Oh. As a fellow vag. Yeah. As a fellow vag. Yeah, yeah, okay, I've cropped the vag out.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Yeah. But see, yeah, look, so he's dragging her up. And I think he's the one who then places. Okay, let's finish the same thing. I wonder if... Yeah, yeah. We didn't get the name for it. The expression hands on hands was definitely not what it was
Starting point is 00:10:21 either, because no hands were on each other's hands. I just did it. That was the best part The idea of the ghost I'm guiding him and he's guiding me and we're massaging each other We saw our nutrition in the Apple store two days ago And Morgan's like should we say hi? Morgan's like no he shouldn't I'm like come on He's seen everything
Starting point is 00:10:38 So you went on your t2 adventure? Yeah it was So you had the baby with you of course We went to that we go to shopping centers and just kill time now We get there fucking 45 minutes early Cause you don't know if you're gonna be able to get there on time with the baby and so of course. We've entered that, we go to shopping centres and just kill time now, we get there fucking 45 minutes early because you don't know if you're going to be able to get there on time with the baby and so we just cruise around the Apple store. But how good is it she, like I just found this very comforting, knowing you've got the
Starting point is 00:10:53 titties. So it's like it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. We're here, we're sorted. We're here, it's fine, as long as Morgan is with her. And then we saw him from a cross room, you know what he said? He goes, ah, push present is it? As in the T2 or once you're an apple.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Like a new MacBook. Oh, now this is the question. Did we do push present? No, we didn't. Not a thing. Not a thing. I'm not surprised. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Don't do that. No, we're not actually. Florence is the present. Florence is a little gift. What have you found, stuff-wise, has been the most beneficial, useful, that you're like, holy crap, never would have thought we needed this. Or has everything just sort of been like, ah, we have it. It's great.
Starting point is 00:11:30 You haven't used your formula maker, have you? No. Yeah, you haven't needed it. Oh, we've got like a dryer, it cleans and like a... Oh, the steriliser. ... steriliser. Yes. That's really good.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Yes. Nappy bin. Because for us it was the formula maker. Yes, because you needed to. This is amazing. Could you breastfeed March? I could, but we introduced a bottle too soon. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Because Angus thought he was helping. Right. And that sounds like he did the wrong thing. He was helping. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He wanted me to sleep, so he got up, but I didn't know about pumping, expressing, all that crap. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:04 So he was giving her a bottle from the day we got home. And then you were just sleeping and not, I see, I see. Correct. So that affected my supply in the long run. Cause if the guy gets up to feed, the girl still has to then express to. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Exactly. Important for her supply in these first early months. Yes, unfortunately that's just, you could be, and you are trying to be the best partner and support. She still has to do it or her body won't train. Yeah. Yeah. You'd be proud of me.
Starting point is 00:12:27 I said the breast pump set that thing up. You get three sizes of nipple choices. Yes. Did you get the nipple? I got the nipple right. So far, so good. Set that thing up. God, I know Morgan described it as cow duties, breastfeeding.
Starting point is 00:12:38 Yeah. The milking. The milking on the pump is the most cow-like experience. Because you can't really, you can move around. Has she got one that is... She puts it in her bra and she can cruise around. Oh, so she's mobile. Yeah, it's not plugged into the wall.
Starting point is 00:12:52 I didn't find those as effective as the big bopper. Oh yeah. So you're carrying around like this full piece of equipment. She's a full cow though. Like she's got a lot of supply. That's fantastic. There's a big... We've still got frozen like jars of colostrum, liquid gold. That's good, have they told
Starting point is 00:13:08 you when she's ill? Yeah, that's really good. Yeah. Oh, well that's- Are we just saying words now to you too? Yeah. Sorry. I mean I've heard it, I get it. Yeah. I'm so happy, it's, because of all the challenges you'll face, breastfeeding can be the worst one. So I'm so glad it's working for her. So glad it's fine. Yes, yeah. But as we said, you should sell her excess. Well, when do you want me to bring in the breast milk and we'll do the breast milk roulette?
Starting point is 00:13:32 We'll do that this week. Yeah, it's so fun. You know, you're all feeling, oh, it's going to be good content, so we have to do it. That's exactly. You know, I don't drink milk. I haven't drunk milk. I have dry cereal, but I... I just can't wait. You raced my dog. I think it's only fair I drink your wife's drunk milk. I have dry cereal, but I just can't wait. I just you raced my dog
Starting point is 00:13:45 I think it's only fair. I drink your wife's breast milk. So an eye for an eye, hey And we'll film it we'll put it up absolutely Because those videos do better so we won't yeah, we'll make it work Hey, enjoy the show. Yeah baby, let's do it. We are back. Good morning team. That's a voice I've missed. Good morning Rice Cookers.
Starting point is 00:14:14 What's up? No, that I haven't missed. Yeah, okay. Babs and Shy Guy were all meant to do that together. Sorry, hold on, let's start again. What's up? Shy Guy. Oh, I like not coming with you on that. What's up?
Starting point is 00:14:25 Thank you Babs, thank you. Oh no. Shigeo, don't just, cause you had, you sat in my seat for four days and you've got this confidence mate. Come on, give me a what's up. It was funnier just to not do it. Was it?
Starting point is 00:14:35 Yeah. How are you brother? I'm good. Have you missed, well now it feels, have you missed this? I've missed this. I've missed you. Love you.
Starting point is 00:14:45 You have had a lot going on, but I imagine your four weeks of paternity leave went like that. It flew. It was so fast, but also so, it took so much time. Yes, because every day feels like it stretches out, or at least what, three hour increments? Someone told me slow days, quick months when you have a kid. Yes. And I'm like, yeah, definitely.
Starting point is 00:15:04 It feels like that. But then it gets to seven o'clock and you go. Yes. And I'm like, yeah, definitely. Feels like that. But then it gets to seven o'clock and you go, where did the day go? I've achieved nothing. Yeah, that's true. I haven't been able to have a shower. Yeah. And your daddy, I can't imagine Morgan. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:14 God, she texted me, I texted her yesterday for Mother's Day and she said, just on cow duties. God, I love. Yeah, she's getting milked. Our little milk pig is milking her. Yeah, yeah. Because obviously breastfeeding and she's doing it and Flo's feeding really well. Wonderful to hear. Has it been just your world topsy turvy? Yeah my favorite thing is watching the little milk pig just latch on like
Starting point is 00:15:32 it's so funny watching it. She's got a good latch. How are Morkans nipples? They're fine. Fine. They're good yeah they're not they're not sore yet. Perfect. There's no there was a bit of a bruise on one because like Flo like squeezes around it like as she's latching on. She's working it out. That's all I can do you know what I mean? Exactly. But I think her nipples are good. Fantastic to hear. I'll get a full nipple report for you guys for later on in the show. Please do. When we were texting yesterday I did want to ask. I felt she opened the door with the cow duties comment. But I also you know she's a relatively private woman. I thought I'll ask her husband when I see him tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:16:05 We'll do it on air. She wouldn't have cared if you asked. When I gave her that little goodie bag, the Primo nipple cream was in there. So remind her just in case. She did say that bag was very helpful. Yeah, that, um, that, I don't, Lance and no, we should try and get them as a sponsor because I've got many good things to say. They're good for the nipples. They're good for the nipples.
Starting point is 00:16:23 They're great for the nipple. Yeah, she was doing some of the nipple patches you put on that coolant. Yes, has she been keeping them in the fridge? Yeah, she's been doing that for a little while. She's all over it. She's taken to it like a duck to water. She's a great mother, it's been great to watch her blossom into this milky cow. Well I've just been so excited to have you back. I'm so glad you've been in the bubble as they say the baby bubble. I don't know that's the thing. The bubble is a vortex. Vortex is part of the whirlpool to get sucked down to the bottom. Try and just gasp up the air every now and then. Everyone's like enjoy the beautiful bubble. I'm like beautiful bubble, it's like three hour feeds and crying. You guys broke your bubble within days. I saw you went out for a bougie lunch with all the grandparents in town.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Yeah, we did. We got out of the house a lot in the first week and then Morgan was pretty tired in the second week. Fair enough. And now daddy's back at work and she's on her own. Oops. So you remember when I came back to work, we very much instilled a, hey, no mucking around after the show. I've got to get back. Yep. Same with me. Absolutely. Morgan's already like, you'll be home by 9.30, right? You'll be home. I'm like, oh yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:17:26 We're putting that on the record. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I said to Angus, my husband, I went, hey, you know, it's the first show back, might be a bit of chit chat afterwards, you know, hit the ground running. He was like, ah, would really like to get to work. I went, oh, hang on, no, Ducko will need to leave. All right, we're good, baby. Yeah, yeah. He's got a kid now. He's got to do stuff. I'm going to go out when he goes, sorry, we're a package deal.
Starting point is 00:17:43 I can't wait for that classic, I'll get home and she'll just palm Flo off to me. Yes, and just close herself in the bedroom or go take a shower. I just need some time because we've been surviving because in the morning, I'll get up and I'll take Flo and then Morgan has that three hour sleep with no baby at all. Maybe even longer so she gets that top up. Can genuinely recharge as much as you can on three hours. Yeah, whereas now it's not gonna happen Oh Floyd slept well last night though. She was only a couple times and you know, so I know I'm jumping the gun your baby
Starting point is 00:18:11 Gosh is a month and a half a month today. Oh a month today Yeah, I just can't wait for our daughters to be of playing together Cuz after the show you and I can just put them in a room We hope they get along. We hope they get along. They think they're gonna be forced to get along. And just chuck them in a room and then they'll entertain themselves. Lock them in a playpen. Good luck guys.
Starting point is 00:18:32 I don't know if I'm giving Lucia her siblings, so I'm really gonna need Florence to step up. Yeah, okay, she can do that. Thank you. She'll be a big girl, she'll step up. Good, good, good. Lock them in a Maccas car park, I mean playground. Playground.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Not car park. I'm learning, okay? You park. I'm learning, okay? You are. I'm learning. That's alright. New parents. You can have baby brain as well. We don't put the children in the car park. Yeah, okay. We don't do that. We don't leave them in the car. Good correction. But how are you, Shy Guy?
Starting point is 00:18:55 Yeah, good. I've come back and my laptop's not working. Something standard. You not turned on yesterday? No, I didn't turn on for the last three weeks. You left it at work, which was surprising. because Shaggy came and visited Flo once, and you'll see the most awkward baby hold photo one can ever witness. No one knows how to hold a three week old, unless you're the parents of a three week old.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Or unless you've had one, yeah. Unless you've had the instruction of, hey, put them in the nook of your arm. That was my idea, I was like holding her head up. Oh, your giant hands were really involved. Your hands looked like an octopus, like around her face. Like just like, yeah. He was giving octopus. You just have lots of kids I'm friends with
Starting point is 00:19:27 kids so I thought I'll get this how did you not take them how did you not take your laptop home when you were just sharing you've been getting a lot of feedback and I'm gonna say constructive criticism from boss Jase already yeah we haven't even been back five minutes I have like the web, like, my other lab. Sorry, I asked. Max, how are you? I, I, I didn't want to over technical, if I had an outlook on the web, I have the web-based version of the applications that I use on my lab. Babsy, what's going on with you? How are you?
Starting point is 00:19:54 I did not just say you had it on your phone. I didn't. I had to re-log in this morning anyway. Duggo, I understand, I understand you had a one, two, three, four day old when Shigow was sitting in your chair, but did you catch any of the show? I did when it was just- Bits and pieces.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Yeah. Yeah, I didn't- He was better than that. Maybe not on the Monday. Malfunctioning a little bit. When Ducker and I caught up, he said, how was it? And I said, you'd be so proud of Shige. He was fantastic and he brought a lot of energy and could string a sentence together.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Now you've ruined all of that feedback. Well, we're back to normal, okay? Everything's back to normal. Sorry, yeah, Babs, you were good. Yeah, I'm good. Are you hungover AF? Oh yeah. No. You had a big weekend.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Big cowboy party. Yeah. I can handle my, you know, myself. Can you though? Because I've never seen you drunk. I'm good. How many drinks do you reckon you had on the weekend? Too many. Okay, so you were pretty hung yesterday?
Starting point is 00:20:48 I was, yeah. When I asked Babs for a little recap photo, I said, babe, I'm gonna do a, hey, what we've been up to, just a little montage. Can you send me a pic? She goes, I only got a selfie in my cowboy hat. I went, did Gen Z not take group photos? Like you just had this big soiree with all your friends,
Starting point is 00:21:03 this big pub crawl. She goes, I can message some of the girls, but I don't want to send you that photo. I said, why not? She's being naughty. She goes, there'd be a couple of vapes in shops. Were you vaping? You're punching the vape. I love me, but my friends do.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Oh, so who cares if your friends vape? Well, they didn't want it out there. No, no, she doesn't want that on the grid. Okay. A vapeless grid. They look bad. I was going to say, I didn't think you vaped. Their parents might see, Tucker, then they're getting in trouble. They also listen, so what's the difference?
Starting point is 00:21:26 What's the naughtiest thing you do, Babs? You're like answering that. I'm not answering it. Let's ask Shy Guy. Shy Guy was the naughtiest thing you get up to. Is it your safaris? Yep. Yeah, what'd you do? Nah.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Oh god, mate. I missed this. This is lots of fun. Welcome back to the show. Is it your safaris? Yeah, what'd you do? Nah. Oh god mate! Hey I missed this! This is lots of fun! Welcome back Duckman! I'm so glad to have you back! My four week old had more conversation than you guys. I believe it.
Starting point is 00:21:58 She had great chat on your Instagram yesterday I saw. Hey, big show though. AlphaBikes is back baby, let's rock! $10,000 coming up at $6.30 and $8. Absolutely, that'd be wonderful for your first week back. Wouldn't it be good? Vibes would be very high.
Starting point is 00:22:11 And the call of fame as well is pretty fantastic. We're giving you lots of money to spend with Urban Jungle Beauty. Absolutely, deck out your skin care. Oh yeah. Beautiful, get a glow on as we head into these chillier months. But up next, this is Pete Jess and Ducko early story. Talk to me baby. It is the world's first ever sperm race.
Starting point is 00:22:29 He's just had a kid and he's obsessed with sperm. Well you know I don't have many, but what I do have works. Okay, should we enter you in this race? Well that's what I want to get to. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. Quick sperm. Quick sperm.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Well you know I've had my journey with sperm, my fertility journey. Do you see sperm in a headline or a video and you can see the outline of sperm and you just, you're drawn to it? Like I need to investigate more. Not just, I'm not drawn to it. I'm going to say no to that. I'm going to say no, I'm not drawn to sperm in anything. Correct answer. I meant curiosity wise. Still no. Still no?
Starting point is 00:23:08 Still no. Because you've had such a journey. Yeah, well you know, so I made little amounts, but the ones I did make seem to work. This is what they're doing. It's a sperm race and it's to raise awareness of men's fertility rates. Bro, you need to be involved in this. And infertility rates climbing. I'm right, get the guy who's only got three. Let's just hope the good one comes out. Well, don't you only have two now? You used one on Flo. Yeah, true. I've got plenty paying rent in Sydney, though. There's plenty frozen in the eastern suburbs of Sydney.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Does it make you really nervous? Why would I be nervous? Don't even worry. You know that IVF story over the break where they swap the... Oh my God, that was right before the birth of our child. Oh my God, that's right. Was that in Brisbane? It was here, wasn't it? It was Australia. Oh my God, that was right before the birth of our child. That's right. Was that in Brisbane? Yeah. It was here, wasn't it? It was Australia. Oh my God, that was right before the birth.
Starting point is 00:23:47 That's right. Was it that, she was inseminated with the wrong sperm. Yeah, and so she carried someone else's. And then so did it come out? Here, had it, and then it only came out because I wanted to have a second kid, and they went, all your embryos are here. And she went, no, because we've got one, we've got a baby.
Starting point is 00:23:59 And they went, that's not yours. I thought, I didn't actually look too much into the story because it was too nerve-wracking. I thought maybe it came out of different. Do you know how many times I've looked at Flo to go, you're ours, right? I looked at her 3D scans before she came out. She's got my nose in the 3D.
Starting point is 00:24:14 I was just freaking out. She's got an Alan Ducket nose. What only happened to us. So what I, well, I may as well, if that's already freaked you out. A friend of ours was talking about, he's got someone ice at some bank somewhere. But he was saying it rattles him that upon defrosting They could be immobile and all kind of kaput correct. Yeah, so you've paid protect
Starting point is 00:24:34 That's a bigger issue than you having wasted all this money Yeah, yeah, yeah wasting all that money is also very annoying to think I've had you on ice I think my two years mine pay three hundred a quarter like to think I've had new one eyes for two years. Mine pay 300 a quarter. Like incorrect. Jesus, and then potentially they defrost and they're unusable. Correct, yeah, cause I've got six vials
Starting point is 00:24:48 and in those vials, there's like one vial has 10, one vial has like four. And so the vial has four out and they could just be like, oh, they've gone. No, you know what's the funny thing is, they don't, so I didn't realise they could do this for us for the flow when we had her, that actual sample
Starting point is 00:25:05 They were used I made I think 20 and out of that 20 15 or something were not mobile and they inject it with a Steroid and it twitches them back into life and they come good. You're telling me your daughter's already on roads She's a super baby When she came out those photos you, like literally she still had the fluid on her. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Huge.
Starting point is 00:25:31 And her feet. Yes, big gal. Yeah, big gal. I accidentally said seven kilos. I meant three and a half. You roided up. Yeah, she was roaring like a baby. Anyway, sperm race in America to raise.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Oh, wow. What a great segue. Roids into racing. It's a simple concept. Two dudes from two universities who trained hard, I'm talking no alcohol, eight hours not asleep, exercising regularly, basically went in this booth, did their business,
Starting point is 00:25:54 and then went through massive cameras, they kind of magnified it, and the sperm was followed through what was like a woman's system. Yeah, or they made like an obstacle course. Exactly, an obstacle course, better word for it. And the sperm would flow. So here's, this is thanks to ABC News. The contenders, who were hand-picked out of dozens of young men, were given money each week to train their mind, bodies and diets ahead of the viral sold-out marathon. The competitors' sperm put
Starting point is 00:26:20 into a microscopic racetrack. And then they're off male students from USC and UCLA. In the end, the Trojan one, the Bruin got creamed. I didn't understand any of that last bit. The Trojan one, the Bruin got creamed. Puns. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tristan Milka, Tristan. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Shut up. He's last name's Milka. That can't be right. Tristan Milka, a 20 year old student was the winner. No wonder he got picked out of dozens of young men. Best name for it. The Milkman one, baby. The Milkman one.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Anyway, it was to raise awareness. Knock, knock, knock. But everyone sat around and watched. It was like a Ninja Warrior kind of style set. Oh my god, was Ben Fordham commenting? He was, yeah. They got Beck Madden out there. Oh, Freddie Flintoff along the track.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Freddie Flintoff's on the side of the track. As you can see, the sperm's going really fast around it. Thank you, Freddie. I was in the audience once for Ninja Warrior. It's a great spectacle sport. I would have loved to have been in the audience for this one. How good would it be watching two guys cheers and go at it? I would have loved it.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Now, I assume you've watched the race. Yeah, oh yeah. So I'm picturing they come out in with the little specimen jar and then do they just sort of... They drop the pants. They're in a tube. They're in a tube the little specimen jar Yeah, and then do they just sort of take drop the pants They're in a tube. They're in a tube So you can't see the bottom half and they just like oh They go for it. You know when you buy a new fish Everything out that you can in this one shot
Starting point is 00:27:39 You know when you buy a fish and it comes in the plastic bag, yeah, and then you go home you dump it into the tank Yeah, that's what I'm picturing. They've walked out. Everything I say has a point bro! If you just let me get to it! So they walk out with their cups like you did that time at the IVF place. Well I have a tiny plastic bag. Aren't you supposed to leave the bag bobbing in the water for half an hour?
Starting point is 00:27:57 You meant to acclimatise, but who has time? You could just do it in a specimen jar. You walk out with your cup and they just dump them onto the racetrack and then it was like, go, go, go. And Milkers won. You could do it in a specimen jar because it would be a slow ooze. Yeah. Like they were diving in and then they go. Yeah. Wow. Wow. So what does he get now? Like is that- $10,000. But I'm talking, does he now get pick of the ladies? You know what I mean? Well, it's a humble brag. Well, it's a humble brag.
Starting point is 00:28:25 It's a humble brag. Not even so humble. I could impregnate you the quickest. We're back live with you back from paternity leave. The whole team took paternity leave. That's right. Yeah, that one in all in. Babs and I muddled through that short week before Easter,
Starting point is 00:28:40 which doesn't that feel like a lifetime? Feels like a long time ago. But no, very kindly kindly we're given the rest of Ducko's paternity leave. So it was good to have you guys on that leave just in case I needed anything. Absolutely. Jess, you made me a lasagna.
Starting point is 00:28:52 I hope you enjoyed. I got a lovely message from your mother-in-law. Did she text you? She did text me. Robin and I have a nice back and forth. She doesn't have my number, but on Instagram. Oh, good. And she said, I feel a bit guilty
Starting point is 00:29:03 because grandma's in town and I was eating your food. Like grandma have been cooking. I went Robin it was my pleasure and I'm glad she enjoyed it. Yeah it was very good. What's Shy Guy brought over for you? Has he looked after you? Shy Guy came over I gave him a collagen snack. Oh you gave him a snack? He's meant to bring you snacks. He came over and watched me change Flo's nappy and feed her. Yeah. Now, did you like look at it or did you look away? You know, like, no, the nappy change. See, you get me. No, I was talking to, we were in the room and they were watching. She was, it was very, cause I was like, she could really crack it right now.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Mum's gone. Mum, mum left for two and a half hours. So I got shag over. Don't know why. Did anyone gift you a wipe warmer? Oh no. Yeah. It's to warm the wipes. Obviously it says it in the title.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Yeah, right. Cause you can imagine on a small baby's bum, a cold wipe. That would be very unpleasant. One for you and Babs. Um, was it a vagina question? Yeah, it is. You know how long it took me? Babs, I just got to clean my throat.
Starting point is 00:30:01 You want to take it so bad? Can you take this? You know how long it took me to realise you go like front to back? Like not that I ever went back to front, but like I had to really think about it. I had to really stop myself because you're just like cleaning things. Particularly when it's, when there's a lot going on. Oh my goodness. You might just be going, how do I logistically.
Starting point is 00:30:20 But we had to monitor me for a while. Like don't get near that. I'm like, oh, how do I, you know, yeah. Cause it does feel more just the way the motion of a head can feel better. Yeah. But not. You just really got to, you got to be conscientious. I wanted to build a wall there so I couldn't go up further. You know, anyway.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Build a dam. Hey, you know what is back with us being back? Sorry Babs, could you contribute? Yeah, sorry. He wanted advice. What do you want me to say? Just go do what you're doing. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:30:43 That's it. Thank you. Be surprised. Hey, you know what is back with us being back? Sorry Babs, could you contribute? He wanted advice. What do you want me to say? Just go do what you're doing. I don't know. That's it. Thank you. Be supportive of your new parents. Thanks so much Babs.
Starting point is 00:30:51 You're the only one the team hasn't met for yet actually. Yeah, well someone didn't invite me over. I knew this was going to happen. I knew this was going to happen. Mike Ducca, what are you doing? I, I, yeah, what are you doing? So, nah, I don't even know how to justify this. It was like, it was an impromptu, why did Shy Guy come over?
Starting point is 00:31:05 Cause Morgan went out to get her nails done. Here's the thing, I felt, I can't just invite Babs over one on one, cause I feel like that's a weird thing to do, but I feel like I can have Shy Guy over one on one. Did you think when you invited Shy Guy, should I tack Babs onto this project? I should have, but then if I did that,
Starting point is 00:31:19 then you would have been upset, I didn't tack you, so I had to tack all of you. Nah, but I got to meet her like three days old. I was in the crib. As if you saw these two at my house and you weren't there. Nah, I'd spent a week with them. Really? Yeah, I would have thought, because to be honest-
Starting point is 00:31:28 Oh, geez. You were still recovering. When I saw- That's what I should have done. Sorry, Babs. When I saw Shy Guy there, I thought he's Babs there. It made sense to me. It was so last minute. It was like literally a half an hour before I- Two birds, one stone. I should have, yeah. Okay. Well, Babs, how about you come over today? Well, that's weird. That's like a pity invite.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Hey, anyway, AlphaBucks is back. Okay. Is your wife going out? Now I've made a weird face. Call us for AlphaBucks 13 10 60. We're clearly back. The letter is I. You got to get through to Babs. Sweet talker. Did I look at the right sheet? Oh, it's R. It's R. Hey, 10,000.

Starting point is 00:34:24 An actor? Rachel Griffith. Okay, I've never had more question marks on a sheet than with Wendler. Just start off, a body part. Good tactic, it might have spat out if you'd done that enough. I had four and three question marks. Hit me with your question marks. A bird. Nah, if she said Robin, no issue.
Starting point is 00:34:46 You can say Rock and Roll. A TV show, Romeo and Juliet. Don't think it's a TV show. A shape, round. I don't know if I can pay that. Circle is the shape. Yeah, so we could have Raven, we could have had Rugrats or Rick and Morty, rectangle.
Starting point is 00:34:58 Music genre you got and said your country. An adverb could have been irrationally or rarely. Yeah, you said a verb, babe. We need another ad babe. It's tough and then I just love that you were trying which is all we can ask for and a car brand could have been a Renault Rolls Royce. I don't remember the last time Rachel Griffiths got a run on this show though so good on Louise. Good get. Thank you for bringing her up. Hey Louise this is fantastic you don't go out empty-handed you squeeze up a hundred dollars to spend at LSKD inspire you to be one

I know gift-gifting is not your love language, but I've had a girlfriend go through something and I wanted to get a little something-something. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Um, I took a temperature check of some other girlfriends and I was met with mixed reviews. So I want to get your take if this is a good idea or not. Alright, you've come to the right place. I think I have. Yeah, we'll do it. Sensible head on your Alright, you've come to the right place. I think I have. Sensible head on your shoulders, you. Jess and Ducco. I need to take a temperature check.
Starting point is 00:36:10 So maybe you've been in this situation, either in my shoes or on the receiving end like my girlfriend might be. If you give me the green light today, Ducco. Okay. Had a situation where I got a pretty sad text from one of my best mates. James and I just broke up. Now it had been a pretty hot and heavy relationship with this young fella.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Okay, so it wasn't like a long... It wasn't a long term, but my girlfriend has been single for a while and this was very, you know, new love, very exciting. I could see that glimpse, that glimmer back in her eye as she was talking about having met this bloke and you know, she's had so many misses on Tinder. So this one was like, tough world though, that's a tough pull. It's a tough pull man. We found one, we've got one And we've got a decent guy.
Starting point is 00:37:05 Is this girl your age? Yes. It's even harder. You know what? She's a year older, which I know that means nothing in the grand scheme, but when we talk about, sadly, biological clock, when we talk about wanting a family, wanting marriage, wanting settling down. What is it being said in your ways? And having things you hate and things you don't like? I've told you about this girlfriend before.
Starting point is 00:37:26 She's the one who doesn't like beating around the bush and literally says to guys, what do you see relationship wise in the next two to five years? Because I want XYZ. So if you're not interested. That would scare a lot of them away straight away. And sadly it does. But she. Here's my card of everything I need from you as a dad.
Starting point is 00:37:43 What do you think? She's sort of like, I don't you as a dad. What do you think? She's sort of like, I don't have time to waste 12 to 24 months. So yes, it's not been working out for her, but this guy, we're all so excited. Unfortunately. Valet James. Valet James.
Starting point is 00:38:01 And so, you know, I called her. You'd be so proud of me. I picked up the phone. I didn't just text her. I've ended my calling. That's great. You called me out. I called Joe, I got the other day. Really? He literally picked up going, you don't call.
Starting point is 00:38:10 And I went, what's wrong? Yeah, what's happened? But exactly. It's sort of like when things are wrong. So I called her. Forgot your computer password again, eh? Yeah, I couldn't log into the system anyway. Called her and yeah, pretty, pretty upset.
Starting point is 00:38:22 I hung up and I went, what can I do for her? I want to send her something. Yeah. But flowers in this sort of place, So called her and yeah, pretty upset. I hung up and I went, what can I do for her? I want to send her something. But flowers in this sort of instance, no one died. And flowers I do find, well, I love flowers. They die. They die. And they're admin.
Starting point is 00:38:37 It can almost reinvigorate the hurt, because the relationship died and now this bouquet has died. And now it's wilting. You see the end. Yeah. It's bad Feng Shui. So I went, what can I do? Do I send Chok?
Starting point is 00:38:48 And she's a bit of a fitness, fitness girl. And I went, I don't reckon she'd appreciate Chok drowning her sorrows. I went, I've got it. Here we go. But when I ran it past Angus and I ran it past a couple of other girlfriends, just to get a temperature check, I was met with mixed feedback. I was thinking of sending her a vibrator. Oh, what do you think, Tucker?
Starting point is 00:39:10 Because if you can't find a playmate play yourself, you know, you're, you're sad. You know, it'll make you happy. Yeah. Yeah. The back, the rabbit. That's right. I think that's a good idea. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:39:20 I thought so too. And I surely someone of her caliber though. And you has one. So you need to, you need to get something pretty top notch. I'm happy too. Surely someone of her caliber though, and you have one. So you need to get something pretty top notch. I'm happy to spend a bit of money. Like flowers these days aren't cheap. And then you had the Mother's Day surcharge or whatever. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:33 So I was going to fork out. She's as I said, she was a bridesmaid at my wedding. You know, I love this woman. Oh, so I know this person. I do. Okay. We don't. Yeah. Which one?
Starting point is 00:39:42 Trying to go through your bridesmaids. I can't think of any. The one on the end. Ah. Ah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ah. Yeah, I think she do. Okay. Which one? I'm trying to get her through your bridesmaids. I can't think of any. The one on the end. Ah, ah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ah. Yeah, I think she'd enjoy it. I think she would too.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because then, but one of my girlfriends went, I don't know if that's the most compassionate thing you can do. What? You know, it might be sort of, it feels a little jokey. So she was worried that I'm making light of her heartbreak.
Starting point is 00:40:05 And I went, no, what I'm actually trying to do is genuinely give her a good time. I can see how it would be taken as a joke actually. Yeah. So, so my, my friend who is very soulful and deep and thinks about a lot of things, she made me nervous that it would be taken the wrong way. One, I don't want to hurt my friend any further, but two, what a waste of money. She doesn't actually receive it well. Not cheap. The other issue someone flagged is, you know, when to hurt my friend any further, but two, what a waste of money. She doesn't actually receive it well. Not cheap.
Starting point is 00:40:25 The other issue someone flagged is, you know when you get a gift off someone, like I've given you a few things for your daughter. Yeah, you think it's second hand. When you put that onesie on, well no, when you put that onesie on her, maybe you'll think of me. My friend flagged, do you want her thinking of you
Starting point is 00:40:40 when she's using? Well, it's like, you guys know Shaga famously got me a ring for Christmas, and that thought goes away. I forgot that. You have been the recipient of a gift like this. From, from, yeah. That was Secret Santa. Yeah, it was Secret Santa. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wasn't from a breaker, but yeah, yeah, it's still a gift. That wasn't an issue for you? The thought goes away. Okay. I think that's another vote. I think she can get through that issue. That's another vote for getting it Okay. I think that's another vote. I think she can get through that issue. That's another vote for getting it.
Starting point is 00:41:07 But I do understand the funny, like she could see it as a bit of a joke. As a bit jokey. I think it's fine personally. I don't know why Shaggy and Babs says it. Babs would be an interesting one. I think it's okay to do. Yeah. The two dudes are like, yeah, yeah, do it.
Starting point is 00:41:16 I don't know if I'm okay, Shaggy. I'm looking for, I want my friend to know I'm thinking of her and also getting her through this dark patch. I think it's a lull present, but I think it has longterm benefits. There you go. Lull present, but longterm benefits. Now. You're going to open it and go, that's funny.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Yeah. And then she might use it and go, actually, have a witty card as well. Oh, okay. Bit of a punny, you know, double entendre. Yes. Babs, what do you think? I think this would be a big one. Yep.
Starting point is 00:41:40 I think it's a good idea. Oh, okay. I wasn't expecting that. I think that it would make her laugh if she's sad. Yes. Also if she knows you well enough, if she's your best friend, she knows you don't take things so seriously so you know it makes sense. Yes I don't take things seriously enough. This guy actually lived in the state and I was telling her if you like him move. Oh sorry. I was not having a kid with him. What? No, yeah, yeah. I was not helping things. So there's a part responsibility.
Starting point is 00:42:07 You just love him, girl. Get it tattooed on your back. No, Jess, not everyone else does that at two months in. I'm like, what's keeping you there? Love, love is everything. Why don't you move? And then she messes with me the next day being like, James and I are done. I went, oh, I called that one wrong, didn't I? Maybe just make her a lasagna. Let's play it safe. Okay, first step lasagna, second step are vibrated. Okay, gotcha. Jess and Ducco.
Starting point is 00:42:26 This caught my eye yesterday and I thought, jeez, we've got to discuss this on the show tomorrow. Because we missed a few big things over the break. The conclave, perhaps. Pope Leo coming into power. I know, the first American Pope, but we had an American for all... And also, did he get his name from Leonardo DiCaprio? I feel like he might have.
Starting point is 00:42:44 I just would have loved to have seen Trump getting the text being like the new Pope's American. Oh, it feels very, yeah. You know why they did it? So they can't have tariffs now on the Pope's. Mate, they're building them in America. Pope tariff gear. Mate. Were you sitting on that this morning? Yeah, I was brainstorming. You would have thought he had Fomix Paternity Leaf.
Starting point is 00:43:03 No, no, he was sitting there with a white board going. Nappies and poke gear. That was me over the break. Anyway, right now this caught my eye. And I thought, geez, this is a bit of fun. Virgin Australia, as in the airline, have now announced their new winter zesty menu. Okay, nobody, trust me, it gets better. Okay.
Starting point is 00:43:19 I promise. You know what, zesty is one of my favourite adjectives. Hilarious, that's what they've used as well. They're revamping in-flight dining from zesty noodles to chickpea masala, tastes from Italy, Japan, India, Mexico, and right here in Australia. Sorry, so when I just pop up to the Gold Coast
Starting point is 00:43:33 a 50 minute flight, I can have a chickpea masala. Not just that, guess what you can get? And this is what I wanna unpack with the team. They are offering chicken parmigiana in-flight. With chips or salad? You know what it doesn't say, but I'd say salad. Do they serve in flight. With chips or salad? You know what it doesn't say. Do they serve the chips on the side or underneath? Or in that little bowl.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Surely it's salad. And also, nothing is grosser than a reheated parmig. How is that going to keep? I was about to say. It's one thing to get a cup of noodles on a flight because they're dry, they pour hot water, butter bing, butter boom. What are they doing with the oven situation? How's that gonna work? Or are they loading air fryers into the galley of every plane? Because I've heard air frying is a good way to reheat.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Yeah, that could work. But when you're talking about the sauce and the cheese. How's that gonna work? And you can also get a shinidhi as well. So the shinidhi might be a bit better, but still, when you're reheating it, it's gonna be soggy. And this can't be domestic. No, it's business. It's a new business class menu.
Starting point is 00:44:25 From May 28 it comes out but hopefully they said if they trial it and it goes well. They'll put it on the menu and you can buy it. Correct or some of their international legs and things like that like trips to New Zealand or whatever it may be. Sure. But I just I mean. I don't know if I'm having a schnitzel on a plane. See I feel like I'd see it and go I want to order that and in the middle I'd order it. Like this was a disgusting disappointment. It's gonna be limp. Yeah it's a disgusting disappointment. It's gonna be limp. Yeah, it's gonna be limp. It's gonna be like a shy guy handshake.
Starting point is 00:44:48 As much as they say or asking him any question. As much as they make a song and dance some of the airlines about we're collaborating with this chef like yeah Matt Moran's now doing our menu. It's still plain food. Yeah it is. Give me my cheese and crackers. Yeah. And my milky tea.
Starting point is 00:45:07 And let me just get to the destination. I got black coffee on planes. Black coffee in the Muesli bar, wherever they may offer. You know? But anyway, chicken parmies on planes, guys. I love that they're innovating. Yeah. It's very Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
Starting point is 00:45:18 It is very Aussie. I just don't know how well it's gonna be executed. You know, you don't love it? If you're the first person to have a schnitzel on a flight, please text us. Yes. DM us, I'd love to see a picture. Also, I'm never flying business on Virgin. I've never flown business so I probably will never have this. Okay, well if it makes it to the mainstream menu... You let us know Jess, when it happens. May I'm popping down at the end of the month? I will report back.
Starting point is 00:45:40 Jess and Ducco. My daughter is born into the world. That's right. Yeah. A month old. A month old. Florence Simone Allen Duckett. Little Flo. Florence Simone. Yes. F-S-A-D.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Yeah. F-S-A-D. F-S-A-D. Not great initials. Little Flo is into the world. It's been a whirlwind month. Where to start, Ducco? I know, I know.
Starting point is 00:46:01 I want to ask about the name. I want to ask how you have felt a change, but I think we've got to go back. To the birth. To the very beginning. To the birthing suite. I briefly told on air when it happened that a couple of days later, but I did the catching, I did the hands on hands with the obstetrician.
Starting point is 00:46:15 You were down at the business end. Can I just say, hands on hands, it was basically just me catching him being behind me going, you're doing good. You're doing good. Turn around, give it a mum. You were the Demi Moore to his Patrick Swayze. Yep. But you caught her, they come out slippery.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Oh. So I've heard. And they, I didn't realise they come out facing downwards. Yeah. I didn't know that. And so he's like, turn her over. And I was like, what the hell? Like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:35 And very slippery. And it was funny Morgan's like, shouldn't he be wearing gloves? And he's like, well, it's your kid. And it's like, that's a good call. Like have you washed your hands? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess. Probably don't need to wear gloves.
Starting point is 00:46:44 But I, it was very special at birth. I really, I really enjoyed it. I was down the business any entire time. Morgan had a leg on me and she was just pushing and it got, it got me back to like my, my coaching days rowing and I was very much like, push Morgan. This is your PB, longer pushes. Like I just felt like I was a boxing ring coach. Did she end up getting an epidural?
Starting point is 00:47:04 Uh, yes. Yeah. So she needed obviously getting an epidural? Yes. So she needed obviously to be coached through because that is the weirdest sensation. You're numb. So what do you mean, Push? I feel like I've got no control. But still so strenuous watching her go through and she did such an amazing job. It was incredible.
Starting point is 00:47:17 As I said, when I did tell her stories, the obstetrician was like, is she, does she have a sporting background? She's in the zone. And I was so proud. I was like, yeah, she's locked in, baby. Hell yeah. Let's go. Uh, and then little Flo came out and it was really exciting.
Starting point is 00:47:28 And it went from like, we were playing a push playlist. We're all talking. It was like, it was a really, really magical moment. And then it went from that to complete another fear and probably the scariest moment of my life, because she had what's called second degree apnea. So she came out normal. I came out crying and good, whatever. I gave it to Morgan, oh my god, magical moment, here you go. Put her on Morgan's chest and
Starting point is 00:47:48 then she stopped breathing. How long do you reckon? For me it felt like forever. Of course. But it wasn't that long. You sort of like, so much is going on. It couldn't really tell but they take her off Morgan, they put her on that little like sort of desk thing next to the bed and whatever and they put a little mask on her and they- So the midwives had noticed like her chest had stopped rising.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Correct. Yeah. So she sort of goes limp and I remember them going like- Oh my god, that would have been so terrible. And they were like, Florence, Florence, is she breathing? Is she breathing? We'll take her over. And then they told us this might happen. It's all good. And we're like, OK, pretty calm. Morgan's pretty calm. We put the little mask on her. She comes back. All good. We're like, OK, great. Comes back to Morgan.
Starting point is 00:48:21 We're going to do chest on chest, skin on skin, all that sort of gear. Yeah. Is the umbilical cord still attached at this point? I think at this point, I think it had been cut. Or maybe, no, maybe then I cut it. I can't fully remember. Then I cut it also. Because that would have felt so weird. Very sinewy.
Starting point is 00:48:36 You still genuinely connect it. Took me four stabs at cutting. It was tough. Hey, how'd you go with the left-handed scissors? It took me a couple of stabs. It took me a few stabs. I don't know if they were left-handed. I told you I met the woman who sent you those.
Starting point is 00:48:46 The stationary lady. Yeah, yeah. So we've done that and she's come back and then she's on Morgan. And then the really scary time was she lost oxygen again. She stopped breathing again. I'll never forget seeing her lying on Morgan and then her little arm just flopped. And she just stopped and she was just completely limp. And that's when the midwives who were fantastic kick into gear and they start
Starting point is 00:49:07 calling other doctors into the room and, and, you know, they start reading out times and numbers and they all, they take your baby and it just, they put a little mask on her equipment at this point. A little snore, a little mask and they press down on it, which is almost like resuscitating, just like sort of getting the oxygen back into it. Once again, this is fairly common. I had no idea that it could be this common. I've never heard of that. It's like you picture your birth
Starting point is 00:49:28 story almost like how you picture your story about a wedding. Like you picture this, the baby comes out, you're all crying and in love together. You never picture it like, oh, then they lose oxygen, oh, then they come back, then they lose it again. And it was like in that moment, because at this moment, Morgan's still birthing the placenta, right? So she's going through some stuff. Let alone is numb from the ribs down. I'm looking over at our child on the mask and I dead set. It was like, the birth was all fine. It was at that moment that I nearly collapsed, like full on nearly fainted.
Starting point is 00:49:56 It was just so traumatic and I was so helpless and couldn't and hadn't done anything physically that it was just seeing her lying on the bench and them reading out numbers, and you're just going so dark straight away, like, oh my God, this is it, this is how the story goes. And you'd be going, tell me what's going on, but also don't worry about me, focus on her. Oh yeah, and then they had to take her up to the nursery and she had to spend the first 24 hours just in the nursery
Starting point is 00:50:18 in a humidified crib. So she gets whisked away. That's the weirdest part, right? She gets taken away and they go to me, dad, we need to take you up there because you need to sign some forms and what we're gonna weigh her. And you need to- So you have to leave- Well, Morgan. You have to leave Morgan, but Morgan doesn't get to see her own child.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Exactly. So then Morgan's had her on her chest for all of 20, 25 seconds and then flow's gone. Then I've got to go up after I've had a lemonade and a little lie down because I was dead set about to collapse thinking our daughter was your story's gonna be one Of those you're the dad who's fainted, but not not like from the birth Not from that I really enjoyed that experience. It was just from seeing her like that's where you hear the fainting happens Yeah, yeah, this was just like holy hell like it was so overwhelming and you felt so helpless and then I go up And I see her in the humidifier crew, but I'm thinking, is that even ours? Like, what is this?
Starting point is 00:51:08 Because I- You haven't even had a hold of this. No, I picked her up and gave it to Morgan and that's it. And then you're like- And now she's, why is in the crib? Well, she's in the crib just on oxygen. No wires through the nose. Yeah, so she was all okay.
Starting point is 00:51:20 And then they're just like showing you her and telling you what they're gonna do. And you're just a complete, like, you just eyes are glazed over like, I don't know what you're saying right now. I don't know what's going on I'm so out of my depth here And then Morgan sent me a text and was like can you come back down? I don't remember come back down and no one is in the room at this stage in the birthing suite and she was just sobbing like just She's like tell me what's going on correct and she was her daughter that you know and far out
Starting point is 00:51:42 I felt so bad and the midwives and stuff were great. They came back in they they bathed her, they gave her food and tea, and then they put her in a wheelchair and actually took us up to the, took us up to the nursery. So it was all, it was all fine. And Flo was totally fine. She stayed in there overnight. But I remember that first night was so weird because we were in our room and our parents had come and seen us, but not her, cause she's in the nursery. She's not with us.
Starting point is 00:52:03 And I'm just Googling, which you should never do. do just what ifs you know what I mean? And what does it mean? What does it mean? What if this? What if that? And I'm sure you would have gone to what's the long-term effect? Exactly. She's lost oxygen to the brain. And then they told us no she didn't lose oxygen to the brain. It's all fine. She's okay. Everything's fine. She's passed all the tests. And hearing how common it is would have totally. Yeah totally. Some of that anxiety, oh my God, it was such a crash course into welcome to parenthood. I remember you sent a photo when you, very excitedly, everything had calmed down,
Starting point is 00:52:31 and there was a photo of Morgan sitting by the crib. Yeah. And I hope you don't mind me saying this, and if she doesn't mind, she just looked devastating. Yeah, because- Like she was so, that your heart is outside your body. Yeah, and you're fitting her through a syringe. Yeah, it was all that.
Starting point is 00:52:47 It was, yeah, that must have been so hard. Because it's like a deeper connection the mother and the child have, particularly early on. Of course. You know what I mean? It's like they are one. She has been feeling the growth of this little person for so long. And then to see her and not be getting those cuddles
Starting point is 00:53:04 and kisses. It was wild. To be, you know, trying to feed and all not be getting those cuddles and kisses. It was wild. And to be, you know, trying to feed and all those things. And obstetrician was great. He came in, he said there was no signs or indications this was going to happen. You know, this sometimes just happens. Kids are kids. And she was totally fine.
Starting point is 00:53:17 We had her back the next day and then it was like the terrible night too, where she's crying every half an hour and you're going, oh my God, what have we done? And she's totally perfect now. Everything's fine. She's a great kid, like for now, sleeping well,, well, oh my God, what have we done? And she's totally perfect now. Everything's fine. She's, she's a great kid. Like for now, sleeping well, feeding well, all that sort of thing. Morgan's going well. You enjoy it while you can. And you will enjoy every element because every element changes so far.
Starting point is 00:53:35 But it was just a crash course into, ah, I never feel fully safe and comfortable again. This is being a parent. I'll never properly breathe out. Yeah. Oh, this is what this is. It's like, yeah, it was a rude shock to the system. Do you remember coming home and stepping into your space for the first time? Did that reality hit you fresh again? Yeah, but because our parents were all in town and down the road, I didn't feel, and Morgan's so good. Morgan has been better
Starting point is 00:54:00 than I thought she'd be and I thought she'd be great. So I've just always felt pretty safe with Morgan around. You know what I mean? Oh, what a beautiful earring. That's awesome. So we felt pretty good. But like, yeah, it's obviously, everyone says the baby bubble has bubble. We call it a vortex because it's like three hour cries and feeds and this and it's chaos. And literally working it out. You can read every book, listen to every podcast, have your best friends tell you the nitty gritty. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Until you're going through it. Until you've been up at 2am cleaning a pooey nappy and they're crying they can't settle. You don't know yourself. In the dark as well.
Starting point is 00:54:29 You're like, well, the light might wake her up. I'll try and do it in the dark. You go back to your room, you go, it's all over my hands. Yeah, it's everywhere. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. Ducko, my husband witnessed something that I'm not sure it's ever happened before. I've certainly never heard of this happening before.
Starting point is 00:54:48 He works at a wedding venue. So, you know, every Friday, Saturday night, he's out making sure people are having the best night of their lives. Yep. Um, now this was maybe a fortnight ago. So obviously you're on paternity leave. We weren't together, but I've been really excited to share this with you because I think you'll, you'll appreciate this on many levels. During the speeches, now he
Starting point is 00:55:10 had flagged that this was a pretty religious couple, there'd been a few religious elements and a few during the speeches, not so much like a testify, but a lot of crowd participation, But a lot of crowd participation, particularly when the father of the bride was talking about her Christian values, a lot of the crowd was like, yeah! Oh, right. Yeah, like just very supportive. Yeah, giving that vibe. And this wedding venue is a restored church. So it was a very holy situation.
Starting point is 00:55:41 For Leo, baby! Amen. Now as I said about two weeks ago, Daco, so while these speeches are happening Angus was sort of wandering around topping up glasses, just sort of cruising the perimeter and he saw an old bloke, looked like maybe a grandpa or an older uncle and he was doing that classic thing with the phone turned sideways propped up against a water glass. And he went, oh grandpa's obviously watching the footy. And Angus being a footy head himself he went, oh I'm just gonna walk behind grandpa pretend to top up his glass, check the score out. He's come behind Gramps, he was not watching the football. He was watching the Pope's funeral. Ha ha ha!
Starting point is 00:56:25 Shut up! No way! So they're in a restored church. He's on SBS, on his phone. This is a relatively Jesusy crowd. Oh, that's funny. And this bloke is when, I don't care, that my son is talking about his daughter at her wedding. Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna watch the Pope's funeral. Pope Francis is getting buried.
Starting point is 00:56:45 I need to be... Francis was the people's Pope and I must watch this. I'm streaming into the Vatican. I've got to make sure I'm up to date with what's going on in Rome. Either that or he had like sports bet bets on. Like, you know, you can bet on anything these days. You absolutely can. Oh, what reading. Yeah, what reading? Ah damn, it was Corinthians. Ah, damn it! Jess and Ducco. 500 bucks to spend this week at Urban Jungle Beauty. You can visit urbanjunglebeauty.com or just get involved and win that on Friday. Absolutely, and you never need an invitation. Babs is telling us she didn't take the three weeks off that we all had. She was in here. What? She was in here working. L Lies. She doesn't even have to rev up again, you know? She's been cruising this whole time. Have you been keeping the Jess and Ducku ship afloat? Of course I have. Good on you Babs. Someone had to. Someone had to. You know? You're the hardest worker in
Starting point is 00:57:34 this team I reckon. You're lying. She also has a lot of experience on cruise ships so she was really happy. Oh yeah. Just to stay with the boating analogy. My sister went on a cruise Babs, the cruise that docked out of Sydney just with a friend like no long ago and she came back and she's like I never want to go on a cruise ever again. Why Laura? Why did she do a cruise? Bizarre right? With a girlfriend, so no partners, just her and a gal. With a guy who's like her like gay really like gay best friend and his family for his mum's birthday. She tacked on to his family's cruise. For a week.
Starting point is 00:58:08 That's something Babs would do. It felt very Babsy. Oh my god. She said it was fun until like, it was a cruise that went nowhere. It was just cruised around and she said like... Oh, they didn't go to like international waters? No, no, no. Didn't stop off in Tahiti.
Starting point is 00:58:19 A lot of like matching shirts and people who are all like there for big family birthdays and stuff. Well, I mean, that's what I did when I went. Did you have matching shirts with your family? Yeah. Ah. Can't you just like go out to dinner? Why do you have to go on a cruise for six nights? Just feels so...
Starting point is 00:58:34 It'd be fun for two. And then Babs' house, her window, I mean, she had no windows. That's right. She was put in some sort of basement, like where Leo was in the Titanic. You've seen the Titanic, Babs is where Leo was. The rest of the family was up with Rose and Kyle and that. But no, Babs was put in below deck. What were we talking about? Oh yeah, next, Biddy Biddy Bang Bang.
Starting point is 00:58:54 That's right, now Ducky you haven't played a game in a long time. Been a hot minute. Do you remember this one? You and I are going to bid. Yeah, we bid. Shall I give us a topic and we're going to say things within that topic? That's right. Correct, I've had a long time to think about new topics too.
Starting point is 00:59:04 Good, because I hope they're good. I've had a long time to think about new topics too. Good, because I hope they're good. So they're a little bit loose. Oh! I'm literally taking him an hour and a half, but he's loosened up. Jess and Ducko. Bidi bidi bang bang! Bidi bang bang!
Starting point is 00:59:19 Bidi bidi bang bang! Bidi bang bang! Shy Guy's gonna give us a topic. Ducko and I are gonna bid against each other how many things within that topic we can rattle off. Yep. If you fail, oh in a 20 second period of course. 20 second time, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:33 If you fail, the other person can steal the point by just listing one thing the other failed to mention. Mm-hmm. Yep. I'm gonna take it easy on you, Ducko. Yeah, well. Because you're obviously coming off the baby vortex. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:44 You've had four weeks off paternity leave. I tried to play this with my one month old and she just did not want to bar. You know, I love games and Angus anti-game. I cannot wait for Lucia to be my dame buddy. Oh yay. You're just smashing her in bananagrams. Beat you again. You know, you see those viral videos of it's like the dad racing the kid every
Starting point is 01:00:03 year on their birthday and the joke always wins. But then one day the kid turns 16 and usurps the dad racing the kid every year on their birthday and the kid always wins but then one day the kid turns 16 and usurps the dad. The day she beats me in a game, I'm sure there'll be a level of cry as well as sadness. I've had a lot more experience than her. Shy Guy. Yes. Topic one. First topic is animated superheroes. Oooh.
Starting point is 01:00:25 Animated superheroes. Technically... I mean, pretty much all of them. Technically all of them are. Yeah. Yeah, because I'm just thinking of the real... Yeah, I'm trying to think any of it. Like, technically they're all animated at one point in time. Yeah, like comic book superheroes.
Starting point is 01:00:37 Yeah. Okay, sure. I guess you could do like ten? I'm going to need to hear ten. Really? I'm really struggling. Okay. Captain Planet, Wolverine, Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow, um, uh... Two more. Black Panther!
Starting point is 01:01:04 Okay, that was nine nine brother. So close. Who did I miss? The only one I can think of which is why I failed. I miss, I miss, I miss two big ones. Buzz Lightyear. I was going to say Spider-Man but yeah. Spider-Man is like my favourite. Who doesn't love Spider-Man?

But Captain Planet you were looking at that here I know, Captain Planet. Captain Planet, what a great get. I see it, you burned into the ground. It was exactly what I was looking after too. Yeah, yeah. But Captain Planet, you were looking at that here, I thought you might be. Oh, yeah, I could only think of Buzz. Yeah, Buzz Lightyear. It's because we spoke about him this morning. I think it was a Captain Planet meme. We did! I was lazy in my head!
Starting point is 01:01:36 Damn, I deserve that. Did we say someone looked like Buzz Lightyear? Yeah, yeah. Anyway. That's not fair, Chet. Next topic, just with a point. A... Songs with the word love in the title. Oh man. I know there would be upwards of 600. Oh, there'd be heaps.
Starting point is 01:01:54 So you need to... The song title. I'm not gonna, I can only think of one right now. Oh my God. I can only think of one in a movie title. So that's not helping me. I'm gonna say three. Yeah, I don't, but'm gonna say three. Yeah I
Starting point is 01:02:05 don't but I want to say four. Yeah yeah I'm gonna have to hear four. No no come on go five. No but you're gonna say. I genuinely can't. Okay I'll say five. Yeah because I don't know four. Love game. I will always love you. Yeah. Love me tender. I love you. I love you always forever. Ah, Betty who? Love. That's four. Love.
Starting point is 01:02:31 Love your mother. Love me daddy. Love me. You know what you didn't say? The only one I could think of was love story. Oh, Jesus Christ. Yeah, yeah. But I think you still get the point. Oh, did she get the four? I think I'd said five, though. Yeah. Oh, sorry. Yes.
Starting point is 01:02:44 So I only got four. Oh, how good, okay. Well you wouldn't write about it, it's a bloody tiebreaker. Here we go, can I write this stuff Babs? There would be so many freaking songs, I'm embarrassed. Do you wanna know how many? How many?
Starting point is 01:02:55 How many with love in the title? Wiven, chat to me if you could only tell me the ones that made the billboard charts. Sure. 387 in the last 20 years. Yeah, that just made the charts. Wow, okay. I'm embarrassed, I am embarrassed. It's... That just made the charts. Wow. Okay.

That's very wide. Good job, Shy Guy. Okay. Would you like to place the first bid? Four. Six. Ooh. Six? Yep.
Starting point is 01:03:34 Trying to spice it up after you told me off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's good for the game. Thank you, thank you. But I kind of want to see six. Go seven, go seven! But if I go seven, are you going eight? Let's find out.
Starting point is 01:03:45 Okay, seven. Eight. Okay, good, you go. Go on, Jess. People, pizza, soup, a light switch, a light globe, a technology, a hairdryer, water, a pool. Are we accepting light switch? Did she get it?
Starting point is 01:04:11 How many did you get? You mean like the hot, cold light switch. Yeah. I meant like anything electrical could heat up over time. If it's faulty. Like a cool light and a warm light? No, I'm literally saying. No, she meant like light going on and off.
Starting point is 01:04:21 Or like the light going. No, no, I meant like technology. You know if it's sort of faulty, it starts heating up and gets dangerous. No, I was fine with that one. Yeah, and off? Oh, like the light bulb. No, no, I meant like technology. You know if it sort of falls, it starts heating up and gets dangerous? No, I was fine with that one. Yeah, yeah, that's what I meant by that. How many did I bid? You bid eight.
Starting point is 01:04:30 And I got eight. You got eight. Oh. Are you paying? I got seven. Oh. I was counting. Babs, were you counting out there?
Starting point is 01:04:38 Were you doing anything? No. One rattling thing off and counting. You should have made it up, Babs. So there was some rogue ones that you said. Okay, let's go through what you said. I said people. What did you think of said, let's go through what you said. I said people.
Starting point is 01:04:46 What do you think of that? That's good. I'll pay that. How do we go cold? I mean, we get cold. I can't get cold. You said bath. You said soup.
Starting point is 01:04:54 I said soup. I said pizza. You said light. I'm dubious about that one because you both thought it meant something different. Yeah, but just I'm explaining what it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm with you. So that's five. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:06 What else did you say? I said a water. Water, yeah. Yep, and I said a pool. Yeah. That's seven. No, I... Ah!
Starting point is 01:05:15 I counted at the time. I'm sorry, I can't recall them in the moment. I was taken back by what you were saying, so yeah. We'll give you a point. We'll give you a point. That was a good creative one. Thank you very much. The lesson here, can Babs be paying attention can you be counting i was actually playing along oh how many did you get only like four oh so you know what you got you know what jess got great
Starting point is 01:05:33 jess and ducko savvy cat oh hey what true never has there been a true title more god damn it never has there been more of a true title busy Busy Woman. Thank you so much. About Sabrina? Yeah, her writing about herself. How did you rate her Met Gala fit? Oh, your hat. Pantelous. She's getting a lot of criticism. Is she?
Starting point is 01:05:54 I think she rocked it. I mean she just looks like she does in every concert. Absolutely. So it's pretty normal to me. I really enjoyed her in a chocolate brown. I think that's a great colour on her. Oh okay. For her hair and everything. For her complexion. For her complexion.
Starting point is 01:06:05 She's shorter than I thought she was. She must be sub five foot. She's teeny tiny. She's little. Can you look at Sabrina Carpenter's heart, please? And then I'd like to know who's smaller, Sabrina or Ariana? Oh, I'd say Sabrina wins that battle.
Starting point is 01:06:14 You're gonna say Sabrina even smaller? Yeah, I think. Sabrina's 1.52. So 1.52. And then Ariana. How many centimetres is that one? Is 1.59. Oh, savvy!
Starting point is 01:06:26 Sabrina's little. She might be the smallest on the playlist. Can you find out who the smallest singer is right now in the Fresh? Don't you reckon? If she's smaller than Ariana, I mean, Chappell Rhone seems long. Yeah, she's tall. I don't know Lola Young's height. I don't know Gracie Abrams' height either. That could get messy. I know you've got a good background on Tate McCray. Yeah Tate's tall
Starting point is 01:06:45 Miley's average height, Alex Warren tall You know Benson Boone, he might be tiny. Yeah. Oh, he is little. He's little. I don't think he's as small as a tabby cat though No, he's not 1.5 too. He just does backflips. He does and you know why? Small compact Why? Hard to do a backflip. You know what's funny? When you're a shy guy doing a backflip, he's breaking a neck. Here's the thing though. You could do it.
Starting point is 01:07:08 That's what everyone always thinks, I can backflip. I can't backflip. I can't even backflip into a pull. Like I've never been able to backflip. Like the rotation of your spine. Yeah, where you flip yourself into a pull. You know, people can do like little, I can't do it. It's on my bucket list. It's like one of my goals for life. To do a backflip. How cool is doing a backflip? I used to lie about it and say I could, because I thought it was a great flex, but I'd make sure I was always in a scenario,
Starting point is 01:07:29 it was impossible to someone to say, show us. Like on a plane or in heels or something. Just take them off. No, I show up in your back. No, no, no, it's the whole outfit thing. I'd love to see you do a backflip. I can start practicing. I was going to sign Luce out for gymnastics,
Starting point is 01:07:41 maybe I'll do adult gymnastics. Sabrina Carpenter is the shortest of the last five years according to ew.com Entertainment Weekly. She's a short queen. Thank you for crediting, Andrew. The only other one who is 148cm, is 4'10", is a K-pop singer, Yeo Jin. Ye Jin, yeah, yeah, I thought it'd be Yeo Jin. Actually that's a good one.
Starting point is 01:08:03 Rosé, how tall is she? Oh, you're good. Because the Korean lady. Google is over time. We've got to get to Alphabots. We do. We've got to 13, 10, 60. But as it stands, Sabrina Carpenter, smallest on the playlist. She's 1.68, Rose.
Starting point is 01:08:11 Sadik has a small coin. Head and shoulders on Sabrina. Hey, we need to buy Alphabots for $10,000. I'm back. We've given you the letter already early, if you were listening. I've given it away twice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We got close while you were away and geez, it didn't feel right. I would feel dirty if you guys gave the money while I was away.
Starting point is 01:08:19 Shy Guy was just like, I'm going to go home. I'm going to go home. I'm going to go home. I'm going to go home. I'm going to go home. I'm going to go home. I'm going to go home. I'm going to go home. I gave it away twice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We got close while you were away and geez it didn't feel right. Oh, I would feel dirty if you guys gave the money while I was away. Shy Guy was chomping at the bit.
Starting point is 01:08:30 He was like, oh, that'd be amazing. I went, don't feel right. He put that on his CV. Don't feel right to do it without the Duck Man. Dave Albuquerque went anchoring the show. That's all. And he was busy over there doing rules, pressing buttons. I always got it wrong.
Starting point is 01:08:44 You didn't quite nail it ever, but that's okay. You don't have to worry about it now. That's fine. Ducko's back. 13, 10, 60. Let's go. I want a good player too. Give us a call.
Starting point is 01:08:51 Well, that's up to Babs. Babs, put her a good player. For $10,000. All right, bye, BX. 30 seconds to answer 10 questions, bucks on hit. Alpha bucks. 30 seconds to answer 10 questions all starting with the same letter. Have to take your first answer, you can't use the same answer twice. And if you're unsure of the question, say pass, we come back of course if there is time.
Starting point is 01:09:17 They're the rules of engagement, we're playing for $10,000. I asked for a great player today and I think, I think we've delivered. Can you feel it in your plums? Well, I mean, it's not often we get a call from this person but when they call in, my goodness. Step up. Step up. Sit straight up.
Starting point is 01:09:31 We've got Jen. Hello Jen. My gosh, having to live up to that. Hello. Well Jen, the question is, are you going to? Oh, I reckon, yep. I'm going to give it a good hot go. Oh, you can't throw in the white towel before you've even started the timer.
Starting point is 01:09:44 No. Absolutely. What are we doing with $ thousand dollars babe? What's motivating you today? Well it sounds pretty boring but I'm gonna do a laundry reno. The tiles are all cracked and there's a funky smell every time I go out there so washing in the whole other thing. No, nothing boring about a funky smell. Nothing. Let's get rid of that. Laundry reno. Yeah. Ten thousand dollars would go a long way in the laundry. Yeah. Something you don't want to spend your own money on, but you need it. Exactly. And oh my God, we're in the process of doing a reno. Tiles ain't cheap. No. Tiles are not cheap. Oh no. Yeah. Alrighty. Well, Jen, we gave away the letter. To be fair, a little while ago. What were you going to say?
Starting point is 01:10:20 I was going to say, and you're ethnic, so you'd be getting lots of tiles and your whole house is tiled. What were you going to say? I was going to say you're ethnic so you'd be getting lots of tiles and your whole house is tiled. Tiles up the walls. Mate, all the inside is tiles and all the outside is terracotta. It is my mum's paradise. Glass dining tables. And this is like, what about the lawn?
Starting point is 01:10:33 I was like, nah, let's terracotta the whole thing. Everything's terracotta. Where's the Hills hoist going to go? Oh, we can leave one patch of dirt for the Hills hoist. But otherwise, terracotta. We've got to upgrade the hose to wash the terracotta. You need a journey. Sorry, Jen. We gave away the letter an hour ago. Did you catch that?
Starting point is 01:10:52 Yes, I did. What is it? Oh, good. Okay. All right. Let's waste no more time. That's sorry. Your time. We'll start after the first question. Jen, you ready? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:02 Starting with the letter. Oh, we need you to name Starting with the letter I. We need you to name. A colour. Indigo. A girl's name. Isabel. A beverage. Ice tea. A body part.
Starting point is 01:11:13 Intestines. Something in the house. Ice and sugar. A wrapper. Or ice cube. A country. India. Something sweet.
Starting point is 01:11:24 Ice... Ice cream? A brand. Ikea? An adverb. Ideally. Oh my god, my heart's in my mouth. You had five seconds on the clock. I'm just looking at it now.
Starting point is 01:11:44 I'm just going through to make sure everything's correct. Just carry the one. Because I tell you what, there were some great answers in that. Fantastic answer. And this is our day one back. I don't think this has ever happened. Jen, you're renovating your laundry.
Starting point is 01:11:56 You won $10,000! Oh my God! Oh my God! Don't cry on the radio, don't cry on the radio. No, do it, do it, do it. Cry on the radio! Cry on the radio! Jen, you were in Leeds, congratulations! Thank you so much, oh my god, thank you so much.
Starting point is 01:12:11 Day one, sit down. Day one, 10k with some of the great answers in there as well. I don't remember the last time someone successfully worked a vowel. The vowels are challenging. And because she had time up her sleeve. Oh my god, had you looked up rapper, no one ever gets rapper. I did, I did. Good.
Starting point is 01:12:30 Good. And you always say adverb, ly, so I had, you know. Jess does always say that. They are the rules. We always explain adverb because everyone passes or unfortunately gets it wrong. Jen, now that you've actually won the money, you gonna renovate the laundry or is something now... Oh I absolutely am! You are?
Starting point is 01:12:48 I absolutely am! Wow! And I'm gonna upgrade my tile choice! I was gonna say! Terracotta baby! Let's go tile shopping together! Hey Jen, you're an elite player. It's our first day back, my first day back from maternity leave and I tell you what I'm glad we had... you were a player! You lived up to the expectation!
Starting point is 01:13:01 You asked for a player? Yes! Not only did Jen deliver, well done Bads. Well done the whole team Great work. Hey Jen, congratulations. You enjoy it. Thank you so much. Oh my god. We're gonna need before and afters Jen We're gonna come with you on this journey Yep, don't you worry you can't capture the smell in a photo, but I'll try to Alright we're gonna come around we'll do a load of washing at Jen's, I wanna smell the smell. Oh, that's so exciting. What a date, first date back up.
Starting point is 01:13:28 Yes, Jen. Yes, everyone. Adverse! It's good to be back! Jess and Ducco. I wanna know on 13 10 60, what's the toy that your kid is obsessed with that is not a toy at all? Don't be calling up and saying, oh, I got her a baby doll, oh, I got him a, I don't know, bluey thing. Yeah. The toy that isn't really a toy. Like the TV remote. Exactly. My daughter has worked out our childproof locks. Now I bought cheapies from Amazon and she's obviously a genius. She's cracked the code. She's smart. Part of it is part of you
Starting point is 01:14:00 proud. Like girl. Part of me is very proud, but part of me is also like, oh, bro, now I'm going to have to watch you like a hawk until we get I got to the point where I was using cable ties Stealing my husband's stash of cable ties then I got to the point I was using twine and bits of string because she's she's worked out the latch It's a it's a hook sort of vibe and it latches over but she works out or I just press this button Oh, and it comes and opens up. I was thinking borrow some of Shaggo's handcuffs. Oh that's not a bad idea. Have you got those fluffy ones available? Oh Babs has them, the fluffy ones, the pink ones. Get some of those.
Starting point is 01:14:33 That's good because are they key or is it a combination? Oh that's a key. Imagine that, Shaggo's got that combo and he knows the codes. Nah that's a key for easy. He has a spare key because Babs currently has it. Oh I can't. Yeah let's got a couple keys cut. He kept borrowing one thing a month. He just kept giving it to people.
Starting point is 01:14:47 I lost the key. Old skills, you hear that? You have to go to Mr Minute and get a new key card. While I was still cuffed. And when we learned, remember before you left, we learned, because I'm saying as if there's that many key and lock combos, there's going to be some double ups. So Mr Minute, I think Mr Minute got in touch being like, no, the odds of that. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:15:08 Slim to none. So I'm going to need a copy of that key. But anyway, she's worked out the childproof locks and she loves getting into the pantry. So much so, she likes to pull a few things out, but the one thing she always goes for and then walks off with will cuddle it. I swear I saw her give it a smooch the other day. She plays imaginary games. The little bottle of baking powder. Now I'm really glad they've almost childproofed these bottles themselves. I don't know if bottle is the right word. Do you know what I'm talking about? It's not a glass jar,
Starting point is 01:15:40 but I guess it's cylindrical and it's got that pop lid. So you've almost really- Like a vial. Vial is a good that pop lid. So you've almost really... Like a vial. Vial is a good way to describe it. You've almost got to get a spoon in there to open the lid. So I'm not worried about her ingesting it or it going everywhere. So she cracks that code. If she's already cracked the childproof locks,
Starting point is 01:15:57 it's probably not far off her opening the baking powder. Obsessed with it. So much so that I'm now presenting her with other food stuffs, other jars like packet of chia seeds, the thing of olive oil. Not interested. Just wants the baking powder. Only wants the baking powder. Bizarre. So weird. And what does she do with it? Just shake it around? She shakes it around which it doesn't really make a noise. It's not like it's nuts or anything that would rattle. Maybe it's the cylinder shape she likes. Maybe it's a lovely blue.
Starting point is 01:16:25 I don't know what the brand is. It's the colour. No idea what it is. This girl could not have more toys. Could not have more toys littered throughout our living room, but all she wants to play with, the baking powder. 131060, what's a toy that isn't a toy that your kid's obsessed with?
Starting point is 01:16:40 Megan Touchett said, my magnesium sleep tablets. Loves the noise it makes, the rattle noise. Oh, see, there you go, yeah. Any sort of pill that freaks me out a little bit. Like you hope they don't open that bottle. Her muscles will be really relaxed if she gets those. Sleep really well.
Starting point is 01:16:55 Selena said walks around with a whisk all day. Whisk is a fun toy though. It looks fun. Oh my god, I've seen so many kids, any sort of kitchen utensil, maybe they just think it's something mommy and daddy use all the time. Tongs is a big one. Yeah, tongs are a big one. I can see I'm getting you in trouble. I don't give Lucia the tongs anymore because she got her little fingies caught in the opening of it.
Starting point is 01:17:15 Oh, at the end. So once it's closed, it's fine because the opening is large, but they spring back open, clamp down on the little finger. That would get you. You need some baby tongs. You need some baby tongs. I need your little mini tongs. You do. You do little finger. That would get you. You need some baby tongs. You need some baby tongs. I need your little mini tongs. You do. You do. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:27 I like this one. B has said, my daughter loves the plug from the bath. She wouldn't play with any of her toys. Just the plug. We need to have one for her and then one to plug the water when we are trying to bathe her. Because she just enjoys it so much. 131060, toy that isn't a toy your kid's obsessed with. Give us a call. Yes, please. I would say one for Flo, but right now it's just mummy's, 10, 60, toy that isn't a toy your kids are obsessed with, give us a call. Yes please. I would say one for Flo, but right now it's just mummy's nipples. Ah, okay. That's not a toy.
Starting point is 01:17:50 Let's be gentle with the nips young Flo. We'll do it next. Jess and Ducko. Jess and Ducko. My 18 month old daughter Lucia, she could not have more toys at her disposal, Ducko. So much so we're doing the toy rotation. This is all stuff you've got to look forward to her disposal, Dukko. So much so, we're doing the toy rotation. This is all stuff you've got to look forward to.
Starting point is 01:18:07 I can't wait. She's got so much stuff that we can cull three quarters of it and still have so much available for her and then, you know, every couple of weeks we'll switch them out. I see. Not interested in any of it. All she wants to play with, the baking powder. And I don't- You know what?
Starting point is 01:18:22 If you, if you had no toys there, she'd want toys, right? Like it's... what do you do? Always the way. So let's go to Melanie. Good morning Mel. Hey Mel. Hello. Sorry you there. Yes. What's the toy your kids obsessed with that really is not a toy at all? When my daughter was two, she was upset with a doorstop. A doorstop. One of those stand-field doorstops. It was quite heavy and she used to carry it up and down the stairs and talk to it like it was a pet. Had she named it? Oh, probably.
Starting point is 01:18:56 I don't remember. Find her a little mind. Yeah, LeBrain. Doorstop. That's an interesting thing to see and watch. Yeah, God, I thought when you said doorstop, I thought the ones that are attached to the door, you know, like the spring. Oh, spring, yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:07 But I guess that can be entertaining, just flicking it back and forth. Flicking that spring. It's like the wedge. It's like the wooden wedge. Yeah, yeah. Just carrying that around. I'm sure it brought her a lot of comfort. Kira on 131060, your five-year-old's obsessed with something.
Starting point is 01:19:21 My son Benji is obsessed with the little fish soy sauce that you get when you get sushi. If you then use the soy sauce and it's clear and empty, is he like, no, I need a full one? Yes, and he likes to drink them straight out of the fish. So if we get sushi, he'll be like, stuffing them into the bag to take home and his little cup holder in the back of the car has all these random sushi fish in them. Have you tried to buy him fish toys or fish games and move him away from the soy sauce fish? And he's like, no, no, no, I'm happy with my soy sauce fish. No, he is obsessed. Even he has all his Pokemon and things like that.
Starting point is 01:19:57 But as soon as we get sushi, it's the fish. Fish sauce! Fish sauce! Does he actually like the taste of soy sauce? Yes, he does. Yeah, it's a beautiful, it's a beautiful sodium high treat. There you go. Oh, and let's wrap up with Jamie Lee.
Starting point is 01:20:11 Good morning. We got Alicia on 13 10 60. Alicia, what is a toy that isn't a toy your kids are obsessed with? My son was obsessed with a salad fork that he used to carry around and call Spatchy. Spatchy. Now, when you say salad fork, do you mean something you would, like a salad server? Like a server, like a Tupperware salad server, one side of it, the fork, and yeah, called Spatchy. I was about to say, so he wasn't interested in the spoon part. No, no, not the spoon. I want Spatchy the fork.
Starting point is 01:20:40 Because Spatchy's such a great name too. Wow! And I'm sure the same as my daughter, Alicia, plenty of things to play with, but no, I want that. Millions of toys. Millions of toys, but no, Spatchy, I've still got it tucked away in his special baby box. He's 10 now, so that was when he was little, but yeah, it's packed away so he can keep it forever. Please bring that up at the 18th or the 21st. This was his favourite toy.
Starting point is 01:21:06 Jamie Lee, your one-year-old's obsessed with something. Yes, my one-year-old Huxley is obsessed with the toilet brush. Oh, I'm having all the toys that aren't a toy. We've gone and bought a new toilet brush so he can no longer have meltdowns, he can't play with the toilet brush. Okay, have you had to hide or just completely remove the one that actually goes in the toilet? We've had to put them up on the window sill. My elder son stresses and shuts the doors, but I like all the doors to be open and let the sun in. So we've had to put the toilet brushes on the window sill and buy him his own. I mean, can you at least teach him, this is what we do with the toilet brush? Are you inadvertently get another little bathroom cleaner and he's just going?
Starting point is 01:21:48 Yes, if you do that, then they're putting their hands in the toilet. Oh, I see. Yeah, please don't be doing that. This is making the bathroom powder seem like not an issue at all. Oh, rather that. Yeah, thanks Jamie. Jess and Ducco. Welcome to Monday and I tell you what, one thing that doesn't get easier is the old alarm

Starting point is 01:22:27 They're looking after everyone. And we are grateful. Everyone. Yeah. Yeah. So make sure you jump in. Run me through those milks again. That was a fair few. Just all the normal milks. I... Oh, I tried Morgan's breast milk. Pfft! I forgot to tell you guys.
Starting point is 01:22:41 I know that's the one milk McDonald's did. Because I'm going to give you guys some. I'm giving you guys some. You guys are... We're going to do a breast milk real wet. I already don't drink milk. I know, that's the one milk McDonald's didn't mix! Cause I'm gonna give you guys some! I'm giving you guys some! We're gonna do a breast milk roulette! I already don't drink milk! I know, but we're gonna do a shot! Just a little shot!
Starting point is 01:22:50 And we're gonna see who got it! Mmmmm! Yeah, yeah, come on! Oh, so you're doing a roulette! It just tastes... Oh no, no, roulette! I thought you were bringing a thing and I was having a sip! Yeah, so it'd be one, there'd be three glasses, one of them is Morgan's breast milk.
Starting point is 01:23:00 Please give it to a guy! Here's the thing, it just tasted like skim milk. It was like a lighter... I can't tell you what skim milk tastes like. Cause I got a bit sick, so I... We read that it was a good sign. Before though. thing, it just tasted like skim milk. It was like a lighter, because I got a bit sick, so I, we read that it was good. Before the breast milk. So I had some of the breast milk to cure me. Oh my God, did it supercharge you?
Starting point is 01:23:13 Yeah, it supercharged me. You know people sell it. How's Morgan supply? Well we're on the topic. Yeah, great. You should bank it, don't worry about your daughter, your newborn daughter. Yeah, stuff it.
Starting point is 01:23:22 You should sell it on Gumtree. Protein, I mean, and bodybuilders pay a pretty penny on it. I would just feel weird about someone randomly drinking it, unless it's one of you three. I was about to say, you're about to say it. One of you three's fun, it's a bit of fun, but someone else drinking it. The other thing is, when I was having it- Did it froth well? Did you put it in a coffee? No, I just shot it. I just couldn't get past the fact that I was drinking Morgan's breast milk, which made me go like, blech. That's my issue. But at the same time, it didn't actually taste that horrible.
Starting point is 01:23:46 I wouldn't have it again, but you know one of you guys... I mean your daughter is absolutely going ham. Yes. Oh, she is a little milk pig. So obviously it's good. This week one of yous... Maybe I'll bring three shot glasses in. Yep. Two are skim milk and one is regular breast milk. And then we... Yeah, it's like draw short straw. Yeah. I'll just move around and I'll just be... It's a show game. It's a show game. One, two, three, and I'll know which one's got it in. You guys just get to pick. And we get, yep.
Starting point is 01:24:13 Babs, you excited? I can't drink any milk. Oh, no, this is good for the guts. Well, lucky. Not if it ends up being the skim milk though. Oh, that's true. Okay, you're getting Morgan's breast milk. I'm curious. I never tried my own. Hey, man, we can do this. I'll do it. the skim milk though. That's true. What if... Okay you're getting Morgan's breast milk!
Starting point is 01:24:30 I'm curious, I never tried my own. Hey man we can do this. I'll do it. Angus might want to come in, can he sub out for me? Because he never tried mine either. How do you feel about my husband? Yeah, having mine last. Should we go straight to spout? This is your idea Jess. Straight to spout. Morgan's only been on the show once, this could be a... Jess and Ducco. So glad to have you back in D only been on the show once. This could be a... Boo! Hahaha! Jess and Ducco. So glad to have you back in, Ducco. Four weeks off welcoming your beautiful, sweet angel. Mm-hmm. Florence Simone Allen Ducco.
Starting point is 01:24:56 Yep, little flow. A month tomorrow? She born on the 13th of April? 14th. 14th, my boy. Oh, that's right, a day before my birthday. Yeah, yeah, don't forget that. So just shy of a month
Starting point is 01:25:05 Yes, but a big weekend. Yeah for a new parent. Well the Mother's Day obviously was yesterday Congratulations to all the mothers out there. Happy Mother's Day This was Morgan's first one. Yes now very fresh which kind of makes it difficult, right? But so many people her mom my mom friends had been pulling me aside or messaging me being like Morgan's first Mother's Day. You remember the day it's coming up Because you got both of you really celebrate stuff No, we don't celebrate milestones like that. Like we forgot our wedding anniversary You message us they're going happy for your wedding anniversary. We're both went. Oh, we forgot
Starting point is 01:25:43 So obviously the mothers in your life just wanted to make sure, you're writing her a card, buy her a twix, just acknowledge. Essentially what I was realising pretty quick is Mother's Day is almost more important than her birthday. Mother's Day is the biggest day in the calendar year and I was quickly understanding that and I said to Morgan, okay, Mother's Day is coming up and then she goes, oh yeah, I wanted to talk to you about that. I want to set guidelines for Mother's Day, Father's Day is coming up and then she goes, oh yeah, I want to talk to you about that. I want to set guidelines for Mother's Day, Father's Day, et cetera, moving forward. Wow, this is the most pragmatic approach to what should be fun and lightened.
Starting point is 01:26:14 So we don't have to one up or outdo each other or there's not big, she just said, I don't want massive fancy gifts, we also don't need to spend the money on stuff like that, which is very much us. I want just gestures, like breakfast in bed, make me a coffee in the morning, change the nappies. Love that.
Starting point is 01:26:29 Oh, change the nappies. Great one. Yeah, yeah, that sort of stuff. Which I'm sure you would have done anyway. Exactly, right? So it did feel like another day. I'll bring you a cup of tea, sweetheart. No worries.
Starting point is 01:26:37 Yeah, I'll make her a coffee, make some eggs, whatever, sure. Or just have more time with Flo, nurse her, give her a break, whatever. But then so many people were getting in my ear about how big a day this was that I started to panic and go, I think I need to do more because if I don't, is she expecting it or is she really just wanting what she said? You know, your wife better than anyone, but you've already landed on Mother's Day. It is something extra. Oh my birthday and Mother's Day are less than a month apart. So poor Gussie. And you know, in our house-
Starting point is 01:27:12 It goes, my daughter's birthday, your birthday, Mother's Day. It's the worst month ever. It's busy. It's busy. But we are the polar opposite to you and Morgan. We celebrate. We're big gifts. And we celebrate hard. It's funny, I literally said to Angus the other day, I said, growing up, did you make a big deal of Mother's Day? And he went, nah, not really. He moved away.
Starting point is 01:27:32 And I sort of do feel bad about it. I went, when did you start getting into celebrating stuff? Was it when you sort of moved out of home and got into relationships? When he met you. Literally. No one makes a bigger deal out of celebrating than you do. Literally. But I've told you this.
Starting point is 01:27:44 I learned it from my parents. It's genetic. See Morgan's parents are the same as mine. Yes, but Mother's Day, it does do. I don't know what it taps into. I can't actually quite articulate. I'm sure there's some women out there who could do it much more justice, but I don't know.
Starting point is 01:27:59 There's an element of, as we used this phrase earlier today, your heart living outside your body and that being acknowledged by that little person. And yeah, when they're babies and toddlers, they can't do it. It's basically just dads and husbands or partners trying to sort out things for their kids. So, you know, Angus does a card, right? You know, oh, sorry, Lucia did a card, but reading it and knowing Angus put that like, yeah, it does something.
Starting point is 01:28:21 It hits different. And that's what I did. I wrote, I did a handmade card, wrote it from Flo, wrote it from Pam, and then I wrote one from me. Ten points. Excellent. What else? We also went to T2 together, because Morgan loves tea and tea mugs. And T2 ain't cheap. And we got some nice tea mugs, right? Because she wanted some new tea mugs. And we did that pre-Mother's Day. Oh, I think I saw you post that. And I was very confused, because you, famously, anti-tea. I like herbal tea.
Starting point is 01:28:43 You like herbal tea? So we went in there and we got the tea mugs, they were expensive, we did that, that's your present and on the day I'll do gestures. Well then I reckon the second usage of the mug Morgan broke it. She dropped it and broke it. She dropped it and broke it. Oh, I mean she probably had her hands forward. Oh no, not even. And then she's like in the kitchen like crying because she broke a tea mug. Oh she's such a clutz. Hasn't she broken her leg? What is it? Her knee dislocated her knee a bunch of times. Oh, no, she shouldn't have fine china around her. So then I went, OK, hang on.
Starting point is 01:29:12 Now she's broken the one present that even though she broke it, it's on her. But she broke it. And now I'm going to get her something else. Yeah, yeah. And she's loving she's playing a lot of Taylor Swift's folklore album, particularly to calm flow. And she was really into that. So I'll get her the vinyl of folklore.
Starting point is 01:29:25 Oh, this is nice. Vinyls are so expensive. I went to the record shop to get this vinyl. I should have actually, Babs, I should have got your help with this. Damn it. You're doing perfect. I went to the record shop and they didn't have folklore, but they had Evermore, Babs,
Starting point is 01:29:38 the other record, other Taylor Swift. It's Taylor Swift. Yeah, and it was in a similar era to folklore. And I was like, I'll get that one. $105 for the record. Is that how much a record is? Well this I think this was a I think I just got I got the Taylor Swift tax. Yeah I got the Taylor Swift tax and I was like I hope this is the right one so you know I did the day before Mother's Day we were driving somewhere I put Evermore on on like my Spotify. Oh test the waters. And Morgan's like I don't know this album at all.
Starting point is 01:30:01 I don't know one song on this album. I only know one song. I have no emotional connection to this album. I saw Mother's Day rolls around and I was like, and she's like, oh my God, it's going to be vocal at home. I was like, surprise, it's evermore. My bad, wrong Europe. You know how you said you hadn't heard it very much? I thought I could get it for you and we could play it on our record player.
Starting point is 01:30:22 She's like, keep the receipt, we'll take it back and swap it. Like she didn't even want it. And then... Your first Mother's Day gift! And then Flo was so poorly behaved yesterday, she was crying non-stop, pooing everywhere. So... Oh, you're four weeks old, Flo, get it together.
Starting point is 01:30:35 Sort yourself out! So she broke her mug, I got the wrong Taylor Swift record, and Flo was just pooing herself non-stop. You brought that coffee in bed though. Oh, hell yeah! Get back! Jess and Ducco. from paternity leave. Have you spoken to Morgan this morning? How's she going? Yeah I was messaging her before. How's she going? How's the little routine going?
Starting point is 01:30:52 The little angel's good. They're going okay. And how do you feel? I mean you've been in the bubble, sorry the baby vortex for the past four weeks even though you guys have been amazing getting out and about going for lunches and dinners with little one in tow. Yep. It feels weird. It felt weird having to go back to her responsibility. Yes.
Starting point is 01:31:10 My only responsibility was raising her, so I'm like, oh, this feels odd. It felt strange. I like keeping her alive and... Yeah. But it was good coming back in here with the team, you know. See you again. You missed Shaga. Oh, I missed Shaga too much.
Starting point is 01:31:19 Yep. You haven't given me a hug. Actually, you know the first thing he said to me this morning? The very first thing. I get out of the car, I'm rocking some new pants. pants. Shy Guy goes, I thought you were in tracksuit pants. Yeah, cuz I was like, that's bold No, cuz I was like, I don't like wearing tracksuit pants outside the house But if you did I'd be like, oh, maybe we can. Just me corduroy sort of slang. But they're not tracksuit. I know. I didn't take a good look at them.
Starting point is 01:31:41 Then I thought it was gonna be a real like, oh the pants are gonna get brew up a bit Now I'm gonna get lots of shtick for it, but then no you guys you're embarrassing me. No, I thought't take a good then I thought it was gonna be a real like I was like all the pants are gonna get Brew up a bit on now I'm gonna get lots of shtick for it, but then no you guys you're about to say me no I thought the outfit was good today. Thank you. Yeah, very earthy Yeah, I also like the pants. I feel bad. I didn't like the pants First thing I'm like Jess, you know what? It's like wearing you kid, right? I'm all are you telling me and he goes you're in trackies Especially when you haven't seen someone for four weeks and the first thing they hit you with is, couldn't be bothered getting dressed today. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:06 Cool, thank you. And I was just saying, I was like, oh God. Remember I wore my matching set and he went, oh, did you wear your pajamas today? You love a pajama, Saga. Maybe we should all come in our pajamas one day just to show Saga what our pajamas actually look like. Do you remember at school doing that?
Starting point is 01:32:18 You bring a gold coin, raise money for something. Yeah, pajama day. Pajama day. So pajamas are very risky to wear. What's all, I mean, we'll have to wear undies under our boxes. High risk. And Babs's pajamas. Oh no, Shy Guy's pajamas is nudity. He doesn't own pajamas. Just tracky pants, mate.

I'll wear that with my trackies Shoga. You can wear that with your trackies. They gave us trackies. They did. Remember? The black ones. Yeah they did. Yeah we can do that. It took me a long time to wash the cotton out of that.

But I did yeah I ruined a shirt. That was because I put the black stuff. Yeah, took me a while. Did you ruin a shirt? Oh, was that with them? I can't remember, but I did. Yeah, I ruined a shirt.
