Macca's new Tennessee BBQ range, now touring for a limited time.
Jess and Ducco!
This is the Jess and Ducco podcast.
Hi everyone.
What's up?
What's up?
Gangsta!
We started today with a prayer and a coffee.
And I reckon it really set a great tone for a Tuesday.
I think so indeed.
Should we do a series of prayers?
Every day this week, we find a a different and it's got to be
American pastor because they're the ones that go so over the top.
I reckon there'd be other sporting realms. Maybe a Super Bowl prayer, a darts prayer maybe.
Boogity boogity boogity. We had a NASCAR priest on today giving the prayer.
That's right. But I also think a big underrated thing from today's show
is Shy Guy's coffee.
I couldn't agree more.
It helped him help us.
For that first 90 minutes before he crashed,
he was fighting the walls that he's put up around himself.
Wasn't he just?
He was about to bust out of his own great wall of China.
He was a bit jittery.
He was jittery, he was smiley.
Even our Alpha
Bucks contestant at 6.30 could hear the glint in his eye. Yeah, good. Babs even made a comment on
it. Babs is... And that was me butchering his coffee. Yeah. We filmed it and we put it on
Instagram and I went something went wrong with the spout. Oh no. We tagged our mates at Lords and
they wrote an essay of about 15 things I did wrong. Oh jeez. Who knew? Oh, I mentioned barista
singing. What an idiot.
They've actually, they're offered to send us in
a professional barista.
I've said, yes please, just to make Shy Guy's coffee.
Oh wow.
To really make sure it slaps hard.
Apparently I tamped on a slant.
You can't tamp on a slant.
I didn't realize I was tamping on a slant.
That's the worst thing someone can do.
What a criminal, lock me away.
I will.
What?
You're gone, see you later. Tamp it on a slant. See ya. When you hear Babs in the big stick tomorrow in my seat, it's because I'm in jail.
How many times you reckon you do that? Twice a week. Yeah, I reckon it's getting weekly. More.
What does it actually sound like on the radio? Awful. I've never. No it doesn't, I went and
listened to actually check that, because like you roll your eyes every time. That was fine. That's
how I do it every time. But you've done it other times every time other times where you really know that's when I hit the desk
that's different pardon me for being excited about life
yeah yeah yeah when doesn't it no no you playing the Rapphorn is what brought
the system down that's what yeah that's crashed it. I don't do it enough maybe.
Honestly, all we have is the big stick with which to convey our messages, our excitement,
our dismay.
Yeah.
Pardon me for using all the tools at my disposal.
But your mic doesn't have the extra protection on it.
Doesn't it?
Are you going in unprotected?
Oh, they fixed it.
What do you mean?
What did it look like?
It didn't have this thing.
It didn't have the cage.
Oh wait, do I sound? What did it look like? It didn't have this thing. It didn't have the cage.
Do I sound different without the little sock on?
It sounds echo.
It doesn't sound as good, does it?
No.
It sounds more regional.
Now we put the sock back on.
How does that sound?
Oh yeah.
Do you know what?
Wow.
It truly does muffle the echo.
Yeah, it does.
I literally have on my to-do list this morning to go buy those wanky lapel marks that all
the vloggers use.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because I need to do some content that does involve an interview and Shaggy, you can
attest.
The mic on my phone.
Buy the really little one.
Yeah, the little one.
The tiny little one.
No, yours doesn't work, mate.
We used it for my video and it didn't work.
No, it's a different brand.
Why don't you?
You got a new one?
No, that's the road square one.
There is a tiny tick one.
It's smaller than this pen lid.
It just sticks. The tiny little one. Where did you get that Rode Square one. There is a tiny tick on it. It's smaller than this pen lid. It just sticks, tiny little thing.
Where did you get that?
I don't have it.
I've just seen it.
Are you saying that's what I should get?
I'm just saying you had the one.
No, I said go buy.
Cause the one you had doesn't work.
Oh yeah.
Okay, so that brand.
The one that you had that we thought worked.
Yeah, it's a Rode one.
It is very good, but I think it's broken.
I think that one's busted.
So on JB, there was that brand, Rode, but then there's also tiny lapel mics with a tiny
muff.
Our little sock. With the little sock. But you see the sock in the video and it looks really ugly
It kind of looks like a bug has landed on you. Yeah, they're also very expensive. How much are they? Yeah?
260 for two for two. Yeah, okay. Oh now is it two or is in the picture was it one mic and one receiver?
Yeah, probably that I thought it was
Yeah, all right. Well, I, well I was gonna conquer it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Get two then. I'll buy two.
To be honest, I think they'll come in handy for the show.
Yeah, we're using it for what?
I'm using it for a personal SponCon, but moving forward.
Okay, that's worth.
Hey, I need to conquer the salt and vinegar line up I did for you the other day.
That was like 35 bucks worth of chips.
I just had my uncle in law message me saying,
You're the chip lord. That was like 35 bucks worth of chips. I just had my my uncle in law message me saying you're the chip lord just out of nowhere this
morning and he's like I just saw the video great work. Like people are super
impressed by it. More than I thought they'd be. I should have done both videos.
The first version was you picking Red Rock out of the line up but you
thought that wasn't very impressive. It was just easy. So we did aligning chip brands to the chip. Yeah two of which you'd never eaten
But yeah, I paid $35 out of my own money for that because the El Rustico was about 12 freaking dollars
Which you didn't even like. I didn't like it at all. Granted it wasn't a defunding favourite.
I did go home and eat the other packets though. So what did you take Red Rock? Absolutely. And did you take the Aldi Red Rock?
Yes, I did. How were they? Good, I had them both.
Beautiful.
They were nice.
Yeah, yeah.
Do you get really parched after having a lot of Red Rock?
I mean, so many.
Ah, yeah, a little bit.
A little bit.
But anyway, that's me putting my own hard earned on the line for the show.
So true.
Like, I'll do it for the microphones, I'll do it for salty Vs.
I'm happy to do it.
You can also claim back on tax.
Touch on the salty Vs?
No.
How do I explain that to the accountant?
Probably the mics. The mics tax. The mics on tax. Touch on the salty V's. How do I explain that to the accountant? No, probably the Mike's.
The Mike's tax.
The Mike's tax, very taxed back.
But yeah, we should get some.
But no, see, that's, okay.
I don't understand accounting.
When you say claim it back on tax,
I don't get $250 back.
I just get-
It's bullshit, hey.
Yeah, no, so I want work paying for them.
So it's not a portion.
I want-
We'll work the green light next.
No, of course not. But I don't ever get approval.
I just put the claim through.
Yes, you do.
Cause Jason, me, I don't think we can justify stuff.
I know.
It just goes to the ether.
But if you're like, I write it up.
What did I buy last time?
It's also usually under 50 bucks on a that's usually easy.
Passable.
What did I claim the other day?
And it was, well, I thought iffy and I got paid it and that was about $75.
Yeah, I claimed the hats that we wore at your baby shower.
Yeah.
You got that approved.
I can't get salty V's approved.
No, you can.
Oh, you're saying the mics.
I don't think you can get a $250 mic approved.
I can only try.
And also if it does get approved by the company, it needs to be tagged and
checked by engineering.
It's a whole process.
Well I'll try.
And then what's the worst that can happen?
You get declined.
Yeah, exactly.
I need them anyway.
And then, accounts might flag you and then look at your previous concurs.
What take away my other expenditures?
Yeah, you might just...
Babs, can you submit that for me, Babs?
It's all on the back of your bag.
Put your body on the line for your pal Jase.
I also need petrol to get to work.
Do you think I could claim that?
Conquer that one, Babs.
I'd conquer that.
Do it.
I think you could.
You can conquer anything, Babs.
Yeah, cool.
What's that conquering shit?
I don't even know how to use it.
You've got my rate.
Your issue is you'll have to go to Jase,
being like, put this one through.
I'll just skip Babs to do it.
Oh yeah, Babs.
It's Tuesday.
She knows the codes.
I also, I'm not going to say that, but.
No, go, go.
I was going to say I've been put down as Jace's, like, I can, I have access to do his stuff.
Shy guy holding out on us.
Hang on a minute.
Hang on a minute.
So will you approve my microphones?
We can discuss later.
Yeah, yeah, we'll get one each.
Hey, that trip to Italy is looking pretty good, isn't it?
Yeah, well let's approve some stuff. Now that we've talked, that trip to Italy's looking pretty good, isn't it? Yeah, well, it's a prism stuff.
Now that we've talked about the trip to Italy, can I conquer that?
Technically tax deductible.
It's for the show.
If you take a mic with you.
I'm going over.
I'll take these lapel mics.
Oh, which we will do.
We absolutely will.
Technically we're getting content everywhere, aren't we?
So I can claim everything.
Absolutely.
You know?
Absolutely.
Talk about our life.
Yeah, we do. Talk about getting can claim everything. Absolutely. You know?
Absolutely.
Ah, look at that.
Talk about our life.
Yeah, we do.
Talk about getting Babs upgraded on the plane over.
Yeah.
That's a write-off.
There you go, business class.
There we go.
Someone wants some warm olives.
I do love the idea of Babs having to go on this trip
and walking past you guys sitting in business class
while she goes to the last row of the plane.
Well, to be fair, she'll never walk past us
because we'll turn left and she just goes right.
Oh, sweetie. Oh, no.
It's alright.
You're bored first, so you won't even say anything.
Now I know priority boarding as well.
Oh, bye.
I've never flown business.
Anyway, I'm glad we did this short podcast with something else we had to record.
Oh, yeah, we have to do something. Bye. Enjoy the show.
Welcome to Tuesday, team. Oh my God. It's a pleasure.
Always.
Pleasure to be here. June 3.
Oh, June 3. Where's it going?
Is it the most overused saying?
Yep.
Where's the year gone? And yet, rings true every time you say it.
You blink and you miss it, you know.
Six months. Crazy. My God. it, you know? Six months!
Crazy. My god. God, we've been having fun laughs for six months. Time flies when you're having fun.
But speaking of having fun, this time on the show yesterday we were speaking about
Shy Lord and how he doesn't drink coffee, he doesn't partake in any supplements,
some stimulants I should say. Well you threw to him, Ducco, in the moment as we want to do in
radio, with the live medium, you just throw things out and you hope your pals in the room catch the
ball and run with it. You threw something out to Mr. Guy about a minute past six and he went,
oh nah, I got nothing. So the questions led to, imagine if he had a little bit of stimulation,
would his brain be firing a bit better?
Would he be a bit more active?
Would he be a bit more active and a bit more willing to participate?
So we've made him a coffee today, is that a short black?
We've done an espresso.
I don't know what you're...
Espresso?
Yeah, absolutely, short black espresso, same thing.
Same thing, yeah, yeah.
Same, same.
Because we just thought...
Just a little shot.
It's a smaller amount of coffee, maximum impact.
One shot, not a double shot, none of that business.
The coffee machine, we did have a false start there, Daco.
I think I tamped too hard.
So the universe is already on Shy Guy's side going,
you're not having this.
I feel like a giant holding this little cup.
You've got to put your pinky out.
You've got to hold it with your pinky out.
You're holding it too fast.
No, you don't hold it with your pinky. You flex your pink. Anyway, whatever. So now you get to sip the coffee.
It'd be warm enough now. You'd have one sip in there if that. I have a live sip. He was asking
me if I should the taste.
Yeah, but like no one likes it initially.
I'm going to stress that to you.
How did you finish that?
You got to do it.
No, I only had like a half.
Finish it.
Block that nose and finish it baby.
Come on now.
It's not too hot now.
Get that down.
Get that down the hatch, son.
That's going to put some hair on the berries.
Was that a better sip?
Hair on the berries.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The taste is awful. Yeah, but hey, okay.
Mark this time, 603.
Okay.
Let's see.
Let's see what Shy Guy's doing in 10 minutes.
Oh, we should have had a series of like prompts or something just to see.
Check your heart rate too.
Yeah, do all that.
Oh, yeah.
See if you go up.
What are we at?
Bads, this could be the craziest day ever.
It could be the craziest.
Hey, quick, Shy Guy.
Give us an impression of someone famous.
Oh, that's great.
Someone famous?
I don't know anyone famous.
All right, that's okay.
Like a famous actor or actress.
I'm currently sitting at 80 BPM.
Okay.
The caffeine hasn't yet.
Hasn't kicked yet.
That's standard, Shy Guy.
He's gonna get there.
He's gonna grow.
That's right, any drama teachers out there
would be screaming at the radio,
you're blocking, Shy Guy, you're blocking.
How many? Let's let the caffeine work its magic
How many times in your life have you had caffeine you reckon?
Uh, as in like a coffee? Yeah, coffee. Or a Red Bull. Not too many, less than a doctor.
You've just had it in its purest taste like you need to mask it with milk
Possibly some honey. Well every other time I've had it's been in like a cappuccino or a mocha or
as a powder on top of the cake. I love the flair with which you said cappuccino or a mocha or as a powder on top of the cake.
I love the flair with which you said cappuccino there.
You've got a muffin there too. You're gonna have your muffin with your coffee.
I do have a muffin there. I need to go heat it up.
A bit of sugar in that too.
Seems a bit too early for a muffin.
No!
Could we double stimulate him?
Do you know the muffin man?
The muffin man?
The muffin man!
It's a good batch guys. I thought it would be...
Just made us muffins.
I'm excited. Or is it a bad batch and that's why you've given them time? No, be... Jess made us muffins. I'm excited.
Or is it a bad batch and that's why you've given them 12?
No, no, honestly.
Too shame.
Too shame.
Honestly, I made a raspberry version last week and I ate all 12.
I thought I'm going to share with my friends to curb my own appetite.
That's what Morgan does with brownies, except she sucks at baking.
Like, she's just not...
Baking's not her specialty.
Not mine, but like...
Baking, unlike cooking, there's no room for forgiveness.
No. A quarter teaspoon of bicarb soda makes a freaking difference
Not that I know what it does and so then she makes all these muffins and like I have like one
As she tried to say take them into the work and you I'm like, ah, I'm too embarrassed to bring this to the work
See, this is how you know proud of this. I wouldn't just give you trash
See, this is how you know. I'm proud of this. I wouldn't just give you trash. I'm proud of cooking.
You know what, while we're in the spirit of tasting, I'll-
Oh, Ducco, take a bite, doll.
Yeah, I'll taste it.
Buttermilk blueberry. What do you think?
I like it.
Thank you. Good.
Definitely not the time for a muffin.
No. I thought that was bold of you.
God, I'm feeling crazy today.
I think I need to soak up this coffee with something.
Maybe I'll have mine too in the song.
Babs, what are you going to have out there?
Nothing right now.
I'll have a coffee later.
She's got the Tuesday artist.
She does.
She needs the espresso.
Yes.
That's banned.
Once those mics go on, Tuesday artist is banned.
We um, oh you guys, sorry.
No, I was just going to say I'm drying. That's all we need, that's all we can do.
We do have a very big show. Absolutely, jam-packed. Your chance at 10k with
Alfbox of course coming up. We announced it yesterday but my wedding the
baby's head. That's right we're taking over Chateau-Ilan in the Hunter Valley
but it is open to one and all. We're not just celebrating the birth of Florence with Ducco, we're celebrating it with you.
Possibly without my daughter. Possibly without my daughter. I mean we invited Morgan and Flo
but now there's a question mark on whether they will come. But inviting them gets you off the hook.
Yes it does. Golf, wine, staycation. Dinner. Could be nudie runs on the golf course. I don't know.
Well you combine the wine and the golf, who's to say the pants won't come off?
Exactly.
Another double pass to Friday's Live my friend.
We have another double course, you're listening out for the air horn, when you hear the Friday's
Live air horn, this isn't it.
That's just what it sounds like.
When you hear that you call us, when you take us to Friday's Live.
Made that sound crash the system yesterday.
Yeah, did good.
But someone did walk away with a double, so.
It also crashed the system yesterday but someone did walk away with a double so it also crashed the system yesterday tonight we still
come on grew listeners just didn't need to play it now you should always find an
opportunity to but yeah a lot of fun to be had kicking off though duck oh yes I
know it was origin last week and in the lead up to Origin, you get the
Gus Goulds about you and you've got one bit of audio.
I want to talk to him about bravery.
Yep.
He goes, he goes for 45 seconds.
Which would have to be, correct me if I'm wrong.
Yeah.
I'm not well versed in all the audio to do with sport.
It'd have to be up there with the most dramatic, the most impassioned, almost the most nonsensical speech
around a sporting game.
Well my TikTok battered up something around NASCAR, obviously huge, like the Rust Belt
of America.
Granted, it's old audio, but I thought you would love it.
Might even usurp Gus Gould for the next origin. It's a prayer, my friend.
It's a prayer.
Okay.
That'll get us fired up for a Tuesday.
Absolutely it will.
Jess and Ducko.
Jess and Ducko.
Right now, Ducko, we've caffeinated Chai Guy today for the first time in our two years
together.
He's sort of anti-coffee, doesn't like the taste.
He's got full lead in the pencil. But he's just shut us down a few too many times that we're like, let's see what happens
to his brain if we caffeinate him.
We've already had our first sass mouth from him.
He took a bite of my blueberry muffin, I kindly made, he goes, more blueberries next time.
I like blueberries.
Not enough blueberries in the blueberry muffin.
But like, that's not usual from Shag, I don't, you know, just no holds barred.
You warm feedback, don't you?
I do, of course.
I'm not just ready.
It's a really nice muffin.
I'm not just ready.
No, no, of course.
But I'm saying, I don't know if he would have said that uninhibited without the coffee.
Well, he probably wouldn't have had the blueberry muffin without having the coffee in the first
play.
True.
I'm absorbing it out.
It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
My heart rate's gone down just so we're all across that too.. But anyway we will monitor you over the next few hours.
Right now, Ducco, last week obviously game one for the men's origin, game three
for the women's sport is in the air. But around origin time you like to play a
little snippet from a dude called Gus Gould. Former player? Phil Gould. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Phil Gould, who is also Gus, the same person. If you just weren't that like me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, been in the game for a long time.
Long time.
He does commentary.
He does.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's an analyst commentary.
He's also like, uh, high up in the bulldogs.
Yeah.
He does.
He did this pump up thing a few years ago.
Uh, this is a bit of it.
He used to do this every origin, but then this particular thing, not this speech, but he'd do a walking one and do like a new speech.
Sure.
This just happened to be the most stupid one that I liked and I ripped it off.
We always play it.
However, he doesn't do it anymore.
Channel 9 have sort of banned him from it.
Was I blowing out a bit too much?
Well, I just think Gus is getting a bit long in the tooth personally, but this is how it sounds.
I want to talk about bravery.
There was a passage I read in the Game of Thrones many years ago,
a conversation between a father and his son. The son asked the question,
is it possible for a man to still be considered brave when on the inside he's truly afraid,
to which his father replied, when you're truly afraid that's the only time a man can be brave.
Let's cheer on these brave souls and let's hope they can be
Origin players tonight.
Enjoy your football.
Let's just remember, this is Origin.
That's cut down.
That usually goes for about a minute and a half.
I've cut that into 27 seconds.
It lost the plot.
I think Sheremeyne didn't ask him back when he started quoting Game of Thrones.
It's pretty, I love his passion, but you're absolutely right.
Nothing's better.
It's so dramatic. And it's just that classic like old bloke who loves sport a bit too much.
However, I saw something on TikTok. Now granted, NBC Sports only posted it a couple of days
ago, but when I investigated, because the footage is a bit grainy, it's from 12 years
ago.
Okay.
But the fact they've just reshared this, maybe
NASCAR is back on in Nashville and so they're bringing back old footage but I
thought... NASCAR you mean... If you eat first, you're last. They genuinely hashtag
Talladega Knights on this clip so perfect. Okay. But I just thought if you're sick of
old mate maybe you'd like to replace him with pastor Joe Nelms.
He's a religious man and he's come to bless the track, the sponsors and all those to
enjoy the Nashville NASCAR.
We are a holy show, ducko.
Yes.
So hit play on pastor Joe Nelms.
Heavenly father, we thank you tonight for all your blessings.
You said in all things, give thanks.
So we want to thank you tonight for these mighty machines that you brought before us.
Thank you for Sunoco Racing Fuel and Goodyear tires that bring performance and power to
the track.
Lord, I want to thank you for my smoking hot wife tonight, Lisa, my two children, Eli and
Emma, or as we like to call them the little e's
Lord I pray you bless the drivers and use them tonight may they put on a
performance worthy of this great track in Jesus name boogity boogity boogity amen
Amen! Amen! Come on now let's go racing! Boogity boogity boogity. Is that real? Like is that real?
Free NASCAR race?
So good.
That is so good.
His eyes are closed the whole time and it pans to the crowd and all the drivers are
standing with their heads bowed, obviously taking it in.
But then when he says, I want to thank you for my smoking hot wife, Lisa, everyone just
starts chuckling.
Oh boy, he's like, yeah!
The crowd erupts. What a way to start a competition.
I love it. I thought you'd like that being the Eucharistic Minister. We can use that.
Oh absolutely. It brings in my love of sport and my love of religion. It merges my two worlds.
Mate you take another bite of that blueberry muffin. This is a hammer for the morning.
I'm all thank you for my smoker.
Jeff and Ducco.
I'm gonna thank you for my smoke and hot water! Jess and Ducco
Time flies so don't blink
Chiburzy! And a big, a big
happy birthday to my boy Miles Smith
birthday today.
Very kind of you to wish him well.
How old today, Shy Lord?
I don't know. Just know it's today.
Come on mate. You're the Miles Smith guy
Ducco, don't you have a pipeline?
25 today, Miles is turning. Took a stab.
26. Oh, come on pay He was 25 closest we're going
You were getting confused how old he was in America still is I guess. Yeah. See there you go
It's not his birthday yet. It's not his birthday yet. It's Jess and Ducco not next is alpha bucks, but now we must have some fun
Because come alpha bucks time no fun to be had no fun will be had no you're right over there buddy
Yeah, just get an audio for later.
How's that, um, how's your heart rate after that one little espresso you had this morning?
Yeah, fine.
No, no alarms.
But I'm thinking he ought to be jittery, but he's a, he's a bit more giddy.
He's a bit more giddy.
He's a bit giddy.
Have you seen the smirk on his face?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's dropping Moll Smith birthday stats.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, I was looking up year of the song ideas, I came across his birthday as a stat so that's
where I got that information from.
That's a good story.
I don't just know that off the top.
It's nice to come into the mind of Saga every now and then because he doesn't let us in.
I enjoyed that tour.
It's a barren in here.
It's like Versailles, just so much space.
It's just Saga, his robo-back and his mum's dogs.
I don't have the robo-back anymore.
Where did you give that robo-back?
The good guys.
You gave it back?
I returned it.
Did they give you money? It was fa Shaggy, his robo-back and his mum's dog. I don't have the robo-back anymore.
Where did you give that robo-back?
The Good Guys.
You gave it back?
I returned it.
Did they give you money?
Yeah, I got full refund.
Hang on, you didn't want an exchange?
It's actually the Great Khan because, not that I can't, but it broke.
Good Guys is my alumni here.
If you screwed the Good Guys, I would have what you do.
It broke.
I had a two-year warranty and they didn't have the same one in stocks.
I was like, I'll just get a refund and I just never repurchased.
Well, that's fair enough. If they don't have the one to exchange.
Cause you'd give it a good run for like a year.
For a full year.
Yeah. You taped the walls and everything.
But if it breaks under warranty.
Yeah.
What was wrong with it?
What was wrong with it?
It couldn't map your house.
It couldn't.
No, no, no. The mop. So the mop part of it wasn't mopping.
He had the two in one.
It wasn't leaking the water at a right level.
It wasn't, yeah, it wasn't dripping on your floors enough.
I love the idea it was, but it wasn't to Shy Guy's satisfaction.
No matter what robo vac you are out there, no matter how good you are, you'll never be
up to Shy Guy's satisfaction.
You'll never be up to Shy Guy's standards. It's got this little mop pad pad on the bottom and it's gonna just squirt the water on the mop pad.
I wasn't squirty enough. Are you a clean freak? Yeah. So that would be quite annoying for you. Have you seen his car? Yes absolutely I've seen his car. You can't fart on those seats without him knowing.
Have you been in his car? Yeah. In the back? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've given me plenty of lifts.
In the back?
Okay.
No, Babs has front seat.
You might have been in the front once.
I've been in the front a few times.
You've given me lifts about Babs.
On that date night that you went on.
Yeah, we've had boys nights.
To the footy thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's cute.
Yeah.
Yeah, your car seems so unhospitable.
Yeah, yeah.
It's very staged.
Every time I'm in Ducco's car, I bring food for the journey.
Can you imagine trying to do that in China's car?
He wigs it.
No, he just gives you the map. An unopened bowl of risotto, you'd be okay. I mean an unsealed bowl of
risotto. I trust that you won't spill it. Oh, she will. I will. You'll find risotto
there for weeks. And you'll do the right thing. It's not even spilling. It's just like the
speed of which it comes to mouth. It could be debris. Then she'll sleep and then she'll
drop her risotto everywhere. So are you going to get another robo vac?
Because I've been looking at getting one, but I'm worried that my dog who has anxiety
will not cope with the robo vac.
I think Pam would be fine with it.
I really do.
Okay.
Because there's a lot in her world right now.
There's a baby.
There's a lot going on.
So maybe it's good to just inundate her then.
While all her senses are free.
Yeah, just go now.
Go hard.
Just put it next to her when it's off.
Just up her meds a bit.
Another pill a day won't hurt anyone.
Mate.
Hey.
Oh, she started licking again. Here's another pill.
Here's another pill for that. We ran out of our pills for both of the anxiety and the...
Oh no, she licked herself raw.
And the law, mate. She was just sitting there just licking. Just poor thing was so scared.
Got her back Medicaid though. She's good to go.
Come home. She's removed her own rib so she could really get around.
You know what happened last night?
What?
I totally forgot about this.
We were sitting at home, running our business, as one does,
and just a Monday night in the Alan Duckett house.
And Pam goes ballistic.
Like, she has a bark when you know someone's there.
What time?
What time of night?
This would have been like 7.
OK.
And I was like, what's going on?
Open the door.
And she bolts out.
And I hear this, ah, ah, ah!
And there's a guy on our balcony you know
a house you gotta come to our front lawn on the deck.
Yeah through the front.
And he's an Uber Eats driver who's got the wrong house and Pam is about to take his head
off and he's got his Uber Eats box or whatever it is like the one that's in the back.
He's got his Uber Eats box putting it in front of him and Pam and Pam is just going him and
I don't know who he was at first.
Did you think that isn't true?
Yeah so first I let her go because I was like get get out my property son come on now. I've got some women in here I need
to protect. Yeah yeah and then I realised I was in a reeds and he was he was packing his dacks and I
was like oh I'm so sorry I ran out to get Pam stepped in her dog poo and so I'm like oh damn
it no just mate leave I didn't order a rebaris. Can we please get you some cameras that is the
kind of thing we need the footage. It was a runny one too, so I'd pull over me.
I'm trying to grab Pam.
He's like so scared.
I'm like, it's next door going, keeps happening.
Oh.
Yeah, anyway.
But you need the beware of dog.
We do need that sign.
Some sort of sign.
A flood light.
She was genuinely going to kill him.
Like I was like, there was a part of me where I was like, oh no, this could end badly.
But also, your mum.
Had she?
She'd lunched at him.
But no bite to it. No, no, no. But the teeth right in the, she'd lunch. But also, your mum. Had she? She'd lunged at him. Lunged at him?
But no bite to it.
No, no, no.
But the teeth were out and she'd lunged.
She was just protecting daddy.
Was she trying to get the dinner?
Maybe.
Or was she?
Was it Indian pizza?
I couldn't know.
But he actually left the food next to the front door
and he'd gone to leave.
And he was on the way out.
And he had to go back when I asked him.
Pam heard him at the door, actually.
Yeah.
He had to go back, grab the food and leave again.
He'd be like, it's not worth this.
Sorry, see you later.
Then he actually said when he left, no, that's a good dog. That's a good guard dog. And I was like, thank you, all the best. Wow, love the food and leave again. He'd be like, it's not worth this. Sorry. See you later. Then he actually said when he left, that's a good dog.
That's a good guard dog.
And I was like, thank you.
All the best.
Wow.
Love the positive spin from you.
Yeah.
He was, it was all fine with it.
Wow.
I know she's been, she's been very protective with the baby around, but like.
Add a robo back into the mix.
She'll be fine.
Hey, should we play after lunch?
We absolutely should.

They're just, they're good times.
I would say of all the contributors we had.
Yeah, they're fun.
Couldn't agree more.
I don't even think they're in it to win it.
I just think they're in it to get on air.
You know what I mean?
Absolutely.
Um, what have we got next?
Oh yeah, who's leading this one?
Oh, Chippy McGee out there.
Old, old, old.
Chippy McGee's coming in. Happy-go-lucky Babs., happy-go-lucky Babs who's in a real good mood today.
Yeah, and you're really helping it too.
I gave you a blueberry muffin, what more could I have done?
It's all systems going here.
Babs is coming in next to tell us something.
It's Sabrina Carpenter.
Jess and Ducco.
Babs is in studio. Not for a blog.
This is unbelievable.
Yeah, we have an opener to play.
I can't play.
Yeah. What do we got?
What do we...
Take it away.
Well, I came across this article yesterday and thought it was pretty fitting.
So Sydney tenants have been fined for making improvements to their rental
without being like allowed to.
Without getting permission from the owner.
You've given the quotation marks on improvements.
What did they do?
So apparently they've spent $46,000 on home improvements to their rental.
Which meant they, which included nine security cameras they installed around the property,
two new TV brackets, additional power outlets on walls and they welded a chin up bar to
a structural beam in the garage.
Hell yeah.
Okay, everything besides the chin-up bar would benefit the property.
This is such a better house.
You do.
I've been in the rentals before.
I've wanted to hang a TV though and you've got to get permission.
Then you start going, why am I putting the effort into this?
100% because at the end of the day, I guess you can take a bracket off the wall.
Yeah, and leave the holes.
We once had a rental deny us putting NBN in when that was being rolled out, obviously
a few years ago. The Telstra people said it's got to go here or here and they went, no,
we can go in the garage because it's an eyesore. Telstra's going, well, we'll get no reception.
We're thinking it's for your house. Moving forward, this is better, isn't it? Some landlords
are funny.
Well, yeah. So this ended up going to court because the tenant was like, hey, hey, hey,
you can't do that. You can't make alterations to my property.
The landlord said that to the tenant.
Sorry, the landlord said that to the tenant. And the tenant has come back and said, but
it's improving the property. It's making it better.
To put cameras around like that and hang to it, that's got to be a family.
Yeah, you would think so.
Surely, it's a family that's been there for a while.
You would think so.
What are they protecting?
Apparently they were paying like $15,000 in rent.
The family!
Nine cameras though.
Yeah. Yeah. So in rent. Yeah.
So wow.
$46,000 to spend on a rental feels like a lot of money to then get punished for it.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Do you know who won out of the court case?
I think the, it wasn't the tenant.
It was the landlord.
I think they have all rights, you know what I mean?
It's like their house.
Yeah. Because you're in a rental right now, aren't you?
I am. And that's where this kind of came in hand,
because there is things in my house that I'm like,
oh, I just wish I could just do that.
And it's gotten to the point now where, so our house,
the walls look like they need a fresh coat of paint
and there's holes everywhere.
And I was, when I first like went to the rental,
I was like, oh, I won't put nails in the wall.
Like, you're not allowed to do that.
Now it's at the point where we just. Yeah, do it. Bang them in there. Because there's already so many. There's already't put nails in the wall. Like you're not allowed to do that. Now it's at the point where we just do it.
Bang him in there.
And we're like, well, there's already so many holes in the wall.
They'll never know.
They'll never know.
Yeah.
But then Shy Guy also said that he knew someone that did a similar thing.
I used to work with another breakfast announcer and he did a whole kitchen
reno, stop it.
But why?
Yeah, but why?
Yeah, that's, was it that bad?
It was unlivable.
No, I saw a few photos of it. It didn't seem that bad to me, but I think after 9am he was just a bit bored.
What? Something... ah, the old brekkie.
He wanted a project and the kitchen needed doing the rentals, so he just did a full kitchen.
And did they find out?
I don't know if they ever found out, but I mean, he was pretty happy with the result.
The kitchen rental is not an easy thing to do.
Or cheap.
Or cheap, yeah.
And it's one thing, again, where you're benefiting someone in the long term.
In the short term, of course, benefiting yourself.
But in the long term, you are going to get kicked out of that property, have to move
on.
I'm sure there's other things that this guy did as well.
He also had chickens in the house, in the yard.
He was out there.
I remember having a dog when we weren't allowed a dog.
I hadn't told him we were getting a dog.
We got Pam and we just had her for a while.
Where is that ruling now. I hadn't told them we were getting a dog. We got Pam and we just had her for a while. Where is that ruling now?
I swear it took it to all the, whatever the highest court is that you could get a dog.
Uh, well, a landlord couldn't say no, and you would just have to pay for maintenance.
And I'm still hearing people getting rejected.
I think they're allowed if a doctor says you need it.
Oh, therapy dog.
And you have to state that you have a pet when you initially go for the rental as well.
See, that's the thing.
It's like, we didn't, I remember we didn't and Pam was going, there was her puppy phases years ago.
And she was going, she was eating the walls.
Like she was going to the walls and eating them.
I don't know.
They got pica.
And she was leaving.
Were they teething?
Pica.
No, that's where they just get an insatiable appetite for non-edible things.
Prank of women, get it?
She was a COVID puppy, you know, whatever.
She was eating the walls.
We'd come home and there was like scratch marks all across our walls at like, at
her knee height.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then we had this, um, we had this tradie come to fix our clothes line that
the real estate agent had sent.
He drilled a hole accidentally through the wall and he goes to me, please
don't tell the agent.
I don't want to lose my connection.
I said, mate, if you patch up all those dog marks, I won't say anything.
And he goes goes deal.
Deal.
I was going to say what did you do with Pam when you had inspections and that sort of
thing?
Long walks.
Long walks.
I hid the dog bed.
Morgan you're going out for a bit?
Yeah.
I'll be here to entertain.
Exactly.
What's that dog ball on the ground?
Ah my wife's got a fetish.
Jess and Ducko.
Have you had to take matters into your own hand?
You had to stick it to the man and go, well if you're not gonna do it, I'll do it myself.
We're going to America for this one, Ducko.
Particularly the great state of Virginia.
Where's Virginia?
Charlottesville?
We should have got that song.
What's that?
Where's Virginia?
Yeah, mountain high.
Take me home country roads.
That's a great song.
Yeah. You can't go state by state in America. There's not enough buttons on your little thing over there.
There's not. Now that we've chock a block, filled them with rice cookers doing animal sounds,
you can't have all 50 states of America. I tried. You tried? I think he's trying to get it.
We are in Virginia, specifically in the suburb of Charlottesville, a man named Kevin Cox.
Aw, the Coxie!
Coxinator.
Yes.
You're gonna love this, Ducko.
He's an elderly gentleman, and in his retired years he's dedicated his life to pedestrian
safety.
So much so.
Got it.
Got it.
Was I late?
Was I late?
Sorry.
But I feel like I'm here.
It feels good to be here. Did you see how long I? Was I late? Sorry. But I feel like I'm here.
Oh, feels good to, feels good to be here.
Did you see how long I was trying to pad?
Yeah, you did well. Virginia, specifically Charlottesville.
This system has been designed by people who've never used it.
Not active for the current station. Here we go.
Oh, wait, where does he say Virginia?
He said it. We're carrying on.
Yeah, yeah. I'll go again.
No, no. Kevin Cox, he's dedicated his life to pedestrian safety Yeah, yeah. I apologise, John. I'll go again. No, no.
Kevin Cox, he's dedicated his life to pedestrian safety, all right?
He's obviously retired.
He went, well, what are we going to do with all my time and energy?
Make sure my neighbours can cross the road safely and get where they need to go.
He has identified a particular intersection in his sort of council area.
Yes.
Very dangerous.
He doesn't like the speed limit, but more
so there's no traffic lights with which people can safely cross the road. He's written letter
after letter after letter, all that have gone unanswered, ducko. So in the middle of the
night, he got a can of spray paint and he went and drew in his own pedestrian crossing.
Oh, all right. And he went, at least this is safe now for me
and my neighbors to cross at this intersection.
He says, whilst he was still drawing it,
neighbors were coming out of their houses going,
Kev, you legend.
The man, Kev.
He goes, I'd only put the first thin line down.
And I heard people in amazement say, look at that.
I love you, Kev.
They're slowing down. I think we actually have a bit of Kev do we? We can't get traffic
control cameras if the police won't enforce the law enough to communicate
with people then we have to turn to physical methods to slow drivers down. I
heard people in amazement say look at that the drivers see it and they're
slowing down. They see it they're slowing down. Hell yeah. Kev is doing community service.
Come on Kev.
All right.
Yeah.
24 hours later, Ducker.
Yeah.
It's been painted over by the council.
Stop it.
And.
I've never seen a council move that fast.
Unbelievable, they thought it was permanent ink,
permanent paint.
He's come out saying it was only spray chalk guys
yeah but they thought it was permanent so they've issued a fine for Kevin yeah
$2,500. That's a steep fine. Or 12 months in jail. What? For property damage they're
saying Kevin. Really? $2,500 fine or a year behind bars.
The matter is now in front of a judge.
He has been summoned to court.
He turned himself in.
Yeah.
When he got the warrant for his arrest in the post, he went, well, this is ridiculous.
I'll go front up.
And they're going, yeah, it's a fine or if the judge deems this dramatic enough, severe enough,
you're going behind bars, son.
What?
And he's trying to say, excuse me.
I'm just trying to help the people.
Just trying to help the people.
And as we heard there, the drivers were looking in on amazement.
Yeah.
Look at them.
They're slowing down.
Yeah.
But it begs the question, when have you taken matters into your own hands?
Are you a bit of a neighbourhood vigilante?
Yeah.
Yeah.
The council wouldn't listen. Yep. Police wouldn't listen. You had to bit of a neighborhood vigilante? Yeah, yeah. The council
wouldn't listen. Yep. Police wouldn't listen. You had to do it yourself. You had to do it yourself.
You've got that one in your neighborhood who takes photos of the cars at the stop sign,
who don't stop. So she's about a block from us. And again, I get retired vibes from her because
I always see her de-weeding the local park. She takes her elderly Labrador around with her.
So it's a walk for him and a community service.
But yeah, the other day she stopped at the four-way intersection
with all the stop signs, filming cars.
I got to the stop and she whipped the phone up.
I stopped and I saw her lower the phone.
It's like she made a big scene of-
She could go to jail.
Like that would be nice for the neighbourhood, wouldn't it?
She's trying to get us thrown in jail.
Oh no, she's gone for a year.
I don't actually know how that works.
Can you just submit your own footage to council, police, and you get a fine?
I guess she's got the evidence.
It's like the fine I got for parking in front of that hair salon to get my coffee.
That wasn't a parking inspector or the cops.
No, and I lost two points and $400 because they took photos and sent it to service New
South Wales.
That's right. I forgot about that.
Granted, the fine is one thing. I did not know you got points for the parking thing.
A bigger point than you get for speeding with 10 Ks or under.
Talk about taking matters into your own hands. 13, 10, 60. Whenever you're taking matters
into your own hands, maybe like Kev, you're trying to help.
Yep.
Or you've got someone like Duckos, that person who spied on you, my neighbour who spies on us.
Yep.
Have you got someone in your area?
Who's doing too much.
Who's doing a bit too much for the community.
Also quickly on the text line, a lot of people coming about the time.
There's lots of support.
What do we got?
Please keep doing it for the kids who can't tell them the time.
It's a good reminder of how long they got.
Cheers.
I like to compare the time to my car.
See if it's on time.
Yeah, I would like the duck man to keep telling the time.
It saves me from taking my eyes off the road.
It's safe.
Evie doesn't want to be flicking to the time.
It helps my kids keep doing it.
Keep telling the time, duck man.
My car keeps losing time.
All right, guys, it is 7.20 on the nose.
13, 10, 60. When did you take matters into your own hands?
Jess and duck oh
Jess and duck oh 13 1060 we're talking when you take matters into your own hands. Yeah, because a gentleman over in
Virginia
Oh, yeah I forget. Oh yeah.
Where does he say Virginia?
There he is in West Virginia. In West?
Is there an East Virginia? Yeah, East Virginia is big over there. West Virginia the priority. Is Charlottesville in West Virginia? Yeah, the Hornets. Go the Hornets.
Go the Hornets. His name's Kevin Cox.
He is facing a twenty five hundred dollar fine or twelve months in jail for taking
matters into his own hands.
He is a self-proclaimed pedestrian activist.
He was just trying to make his local neighborhood a bit safer by drawing in a
pedestrian crossing. He'd written letters and letters to the council.
They had done nothing about it. He went, I want to be safe and I want my neighbours to be safe.
Well, 24 hours later, they painted over it and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Brilliant.
Property damage.
That's the fastest moving council you've ever seen.
Amen. Not fast to put in the pedestrian crossing when he'd requested it. Yeah, but to punish him. My husband just texts me
He goes I care I see you I feel you remember the time I trimmed the hedges and de-weeded the median strip
Oh, I said, yes, I do honey on the median strip on you. We've got some like low-lying jasmine that gets out of control
Oh, yeah smells good though. It smells beautiful and aesthetically very pleasing
But you try and push a pant pram or stroller through that, get caught.
You get stuck in there. I guess took out the old secateurs, got it. Tidied that up for
everyone. Oh nice. Not just for his benefit, for everyone's. Because they'll never come
and actually do it. Apparently there were people out there tidying something
else and he went hey guys while you're here can you can you fix that up and
they went no not our domain. It was like, well, what is?
Yeah, exactly.
You know what I mean?
I've told you about my strip on my side, which is actually not even on my property side,
isn't it?
But I've got to maintain it.
Absolutely.
And if I don't, it looks really overgrown.
I look like the idiot.
We all know where you live.
Many a time I've driven past going, Ducco, what are you doing?
What a pig.
What a pig.
Get it together, son.
Di's called in on 13 10 60.
Good morning, Di. Good morning Dye.
Good morning.
Dye, your husband had to take matters into his own hands.
Absolutely.
What did he do?
Well the council land behind us gets really, really overgrown.
We've got a six foot fence and the weeds get longer than that.
Wow.
Yeah, pretty hectic.
So he gets out there with a whipper snipper and then a lawnmower and it's not just him
so he mows and we've snitched up around our fence and the neighbors fence and a few fences and
there's an older guy like 83 and he mows his share as well and
probably about six other houses worth
all in the same area or council land and we asked them
many times to come and slash it and whatnot but yeah it just sort of falls
on deaf ears so they ended up doing it themselves and have done for a long time.
The neighbors just getting it done. You've got to do it yourself. We don't have to deal with that.
We'll take matters into our own hands. Thank you, Di. How's that 83 year old? Good on him. I mean what else is he doing? But good on him. Still though,
hot on the back. Absolutely. Jodie, what does your partner do taking matters into his own hands?
He sort of got sick and tired of people parking, I'm going to say badly. So he looked on the
internet and found a bunch of cards that go on the front windscreen
of people's cars and one side would sort of be congratulatory sort of saying how
well you are at parking and things like that and then the other side would be
quite nasty and abusive but funny. So he walks around not necessarily in front of
your house just anywhere he sees a badly parked car and
puts the card in.
Yeah, he had them in, he's run out of them now.
I know, he needs to sock up.
Yeah, he had them in our car and it just anywhere that he was, if he saw a bad park he would,
yep.
That's so good.
It's so funny.
Some people out there going, oh my god, I've received one of those.
I've got one, I've got the note.
We also got a thanks, Jodie, got a great message in
from Yeek on Instagram at JessandDucko.
She's got a photo of a sign in front of a massive pothole
and the sign says, big effing pothole.
Just a handwritten sign.
Someone's got the canceling clean lit,
I may as well warn the people.
Let's help each other out.
Absolutely.
JessandDucko, here of the song.
Now we caffeinated Shy Guy at 6am.
The man does not have coffee, Red Bull, God you can't even get him to try a matcha.
But we thought can we bring the walls down with a little hit of espresso.
Yeah and he's feeling good today, he's vibing.
There's a glint in the eye, there's a smile in the voice.
Granted he seems to have been furiously working on Year of the Song up until the 11th hour.
Standard Shia.
Yeah, I had another idea and then I pivoted and then I ran out of time to have to re-pivot back to what I started with.
When you left just before, Ducco, Shia Guy goes, oh I'm crashing, I think I need to have a nap.
Yeah, I'm tired.
Oh, you've already got the caffeine crash already.
Yeah, I'm tired.
Jeez, it's 7.45, you had it at 6.
Yeah, that's alright, hour and a half later.
We'll get you another one, that's all we do, baby.
We keep topping up.
I think one's enough.
Keep topping up.
One's enough.
Anyways, so today's theme is carpool songs
because it's National Carpool to Work Day.
As in now we're on Carpool Karaoke?
No, just songs that are good to sing along to.
Oh.
Okay.
Okay.
Good for the environment, Pauline.
And this is the first song?
It is the first song. One Republic, I Ain't Worrying.
Good to Sing Along To, just checking, that's the theme.
That's the theme. Okay.
Stole it from Bob and Lauren in the Morning, they're a radio show in America.
Oh, B&L.
In Massachusetts.
Bob and Lauren in the morning.
One of the hardest places in the world to spell, I reckon.
Who's this by again? One Republic.
Yeah, that's right.
Ryan Tedder, one of the greatest songwriters of our generation.
I couldn't tell you any of the lyrics of this song.
Couldn't tell you who that is.
The lead singer of One Republic.
I can't tell.
My One Republic knowledge is pretty thin.
He has written so many bangers for many artists.
I've got no idea of this stuff, though.
I'm going 2018.
I went 2013. Correct answers is 2022. Very recent. What do you think? Vanessa Carlton. I can get a
point there. Yes. I don't know about Bob and Lauren putting One Republic on there but this, yes.
This is a good song. Is this the White Chicks song? Yeah, it is. It's early O's.
Uh, jeez, when's this out? Is this the Whitechick song?
Yeah, it is.
Early O's.
I was even gonna say noughts.
It could be nineties, it could be the noughts.
Could it be just before the millennium?
I'm gonna go O1 though.
I went 99.
Okay, the correct answer is 2002.
Hey!
Dr. Riverpoint.
There we go.
Very good.
Song three.
Queen.
Oh, don't stop me now.
Great song.
Jeez, when's this? I did see Bohemian Rhapsody.
Come on, gotta channel Rob Farch for this, he loves Queen.
The funny one for me about Queen is, I think they're fairly overrated personally, but I know that's an unpopular take.
Yes.
I just, I just don't...
Eh.
You know?
But this generation of music, old school rock and roll...
Yeah, it's different. You gotta respect it. You gotta respect it, and Freddie school rock and roll. Yeah, it's different.
You gotta respect it.
You gotta respect it.
And Freddie Mercury, I mean.
Big T.
Once in a lifetime talent.
Oh yeah, his voice is incredible.
Don't get me wrong.
So do you say the band in general or Bohemian Rhapsody?
No, it's in the music.
The music.
It doesn't like get me going.
We are the champions.
We are the champions.
Good song.
I'll give it that.
Stomp Stomp Clap. Yeah, that's a good song. That is a good song. I'll give you that. What's that guitarist's name with the hair?
Brian. Yeah. I don't know his last name. Babs might know. Oh I'm gonna go. Jeez I don't know
when this is. From the album Jag. Oh yeah. Okay. Okay. I'm gonna go 87. Oh geez. 93. 79. Woah!
Goodness me!
That was well on!
God, valet Freddie, we apologise.
Freddie was a towel, wasn't he?
I'm a cent.
Castle of Pain.
Here we go.
Jump around.
Here we go.
Urgh.
I'm really questioning Bob and Lauren's list here.
I like this song.
Songs to sing, but sing along to.
Yeah.
Sing along, go.
Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin.
Jump around, let me begin.
I'm a cent.
I'm a cent.
I'm a cent. I'm a cent. I'm a cent. I'm a cent. I'm this song. Songs to sing, but sing along to. Yeah. Sing along, go. Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin.
Jump around.
Yeah.
Sorry, blacked out, that killer.
I'll pay it, yep.
I picture you in a, some sort of Mustang and it's bouncing the hydraulics.
Yeah baby, the hydraulics.
Those cars are actually so uncomfortable.
I was in one one time, I was like, holy hell, my back.
Oh god, no.
Uh, no, no. Yeah. This is tough, this is tough as well. actually so uncomfortable. When I put it on one time I was like holy hell my back.
This is tough as well. House of pain. I'm gonna go 98. Oh I went 93. 92. Oh damn it.
Sucko still in the lead with just one point. Miley. Okay now we're. The Climb. It's a good song.
From Hannah Montana, the movie.
Oh, stop it. Is that where this came out?
Yeah. In conjunction with...
Was Hannah Montana the movie one of your favourite spabs?
It was a household staple in my house.
Yeah. Oh, the three girls.
Of course.
Geez, when did this come out?
I mean, how long has Miley been around?
She was like 12 in Hannah Montana
Talking about dad sounds about right. I think they're on the outs. I've got a fight you do I don't know
But I'm just I'm picturing that I'm gonna chuck in an 07. Okay. Oh nine. Oh
Have been floating with okay. All right. Here we go. Last one
Brian Adam Wow if you finish strong here
Yep
There you go, it's gotta be
It's gotta be 80s. All right, this feels deep this feels deep. I'm gonna go the two fat ladies.
I'm gonna 88.
Well I will then go...
I'm gonna go 84.
I know you're right it's called summer of 69. Could've been the 70s.
84.
What are you in? 88?
Are we in the wrong? Yeah what are we in?
Duckers, correct.
With the point and the win.
Yeah!
Can sing along.
Yeah, good song.
So the songs.
Good song.
Good song.
There you go.
Are you going to send Bob and Lauren a thank you note?
We should listen to some Bob and Lauren.
Nah, you don't need to.
I wonder if we could learn something from Bob and Lauren.
I doubt it.
Jess and Dukko.
Hey, quickly Dukko.
What do you got for me?
I wanted to share an extra little tidbit off my parents. Fortyth I forgot to mention yesterday.
I don't know.
Fortyth wedding anniversary.
Fortyth wedding anniversary.
Also, quietly, you got me in trouble with that because I said on air yesterday, my parents
already had theirs.
You were like last year or it's already been this year?
Yeah.
Mom's like, no, no, ours is coming up later this year.
I was like, oh no.
So what I'm hearing, do you need a help planning?
I can help plan.
I can give you the blueprint, what I did.
You just, you enacted in their home city.
Okay.
But no, the extra little tip is funny.
Did I say 40th birthday or something?
Um, someone did leave a card for my parents.
I didn't expect gifts.
I didn't think people would bring gifts, but oh my God, they were inundated.
But the first card they pulled out the next day when they were going through all the lovely gifts, happy 60th birthday
Robert.
They had no idea what they were there for.
But while we were going through the gifts the next day, you know, and my parents do
the classic pen and paper, dad reads out the card. So mum writes down, okay, that one's
from Louisa Leo and she got us this $300 to spend at that
restaurant.
So they make sure in the thank you text, they reference what the gift was.
But while they're going through all these gifts, dad's phone goes off, he gets a text
message.
It's a gift, like a text message, digital gift card for Crown Casino in Melbourne.
And my dad went, Oh yeah, classic.
I said, what do you mean classic?
He goes, that's what my generation do these days.
You don't give a gift the night of the party.
You go to the event and you suss out how good it is to then determine
what value of gift you can give.
So obviously this person who texted him
went to the party and went,
not half bad, I'm gonna give you a voucher
for this amount of money.
Really?
That's what he said, his generation,
he goes, yeah, why would I give $500 for a wedding
to rock up and only get a spring roll?
Well I'd never give $500 to a wedding full stop period.
But, yeah, yeah.
But that's what he's saying, he goes, that's what they're doing, they say. goes so they just rock up if it's a good party they'll pay it to then
determine I'll send you a message the next day with either a bank transfer or
a voucher what the value I think your party is is that like an ethnic thing
though or is that now to be fair I've not heard of that before every wedding
we've been to with my family my dad goes to an ATM and basically clears
it to put it in the envelope.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's saying nowadays I'm seeing more and more people do that.
You know what I'm seeing now with presidents at weddings and stuff, people just leaving
a BSP and account number.
Don't bring cash.
Yeah, which is so much easier.
I just transfer it.
But then-
Absolutely, because even finding an ATM or having cash on you, even buying a card.
Have you bought a card recently?
$7?
Hallmark?
Are you joking?
You look at it and go, what am I going to write?
What do I say?
And then you spend half the time, knowing that you're not even going to read the card.
And usually if it's a function, there's about 25 people who've tacked onto your card.
The number of cards my parents opened where it literally said, dear Rob and Lisa, it was
the pre-done message from Hallmark, love Jason. And you go, why? Why through that? You could have done that on a post it note.
I know. You didn't need to. That's funny. There you go.
People judging your events to then denote how much it was worth gift.
Imagine if you got like 25 bucks. Like, oh my god. I know.
This chick sent a $400 voucher. So obviously put on a pretty good sprint.
You did good.
Thank you.
Jus and Ducco in the morning.
Jus and Ducco's 10k alpha bucks on Hints.
Alpha bucks.
Yeah, 30 seconds, 10 questions, all starting with the same letter.
Have to take your first answer.
Can't use the same answer twice.
And if you're unsure of the question, just say pass.
We come back, of course, if there's's time we're playing for $10,000
Our player is Ashley. Good morning, Ashley
Hi
Ashley Ashley Ashley. What do you want to do with $10,000, babe?
Well, we're off to Fiji for my brother-in-law's wedding and we want to do what you guys are saying about the
wedding and judging the wedding as to how much we get through.
Okay, yes, at my parents 40th wedding anniversary my dad said this is the thing people do, go to the event, only give a gift afterwards to
determine that was a good party I'll give you a decent amount or that sucks. He's 20 bucks. Enjoy
Also, if you're going to Fiji for the wedding already spending money as it is I wouldn't be expecting any no however
brother-in-law family
Does that mean brother-in-law?
What your partners?
Yeah partners little brother. Yeah, okay
Okay, oh well this is fun wedding for you because you're close to it, but not too close to it.
Yes.
Everyone's staying at the resort, kids club.
And with the kids as well.
It's going to be a time.
She needs the 10 grand to really make sure Ashley can have some time.
Suck on the carver to get through the wedding.
Absolutely.
Ashley, the letter you're going to work with, it's solid.
It's H. H for Hugh Jackman. Absolutely. Ashley, the letter you're going to work with, it's solid, it's H.
H for Hugh Jackman. Okay? Okay, cool. All right, your time, we'll start after the first question.
Starting with the letter H, we need you to name a bird.
Hummingbird. A periodic element.
Hydrogen. Something in the backyard.
Hydrogen. Something in the backyard.
Pass.
A band?
Pass.
A winter item?
A hat.
An ice cream flavour?
Pass.
A sport?
Hockey.
A sauce?
Hollandaise.
A verb?
Hop.
A Pass. A sport. Hockey. A source. A holiday.
A verb.
Hop.
Pie!
Well after the buzzer, but we'll give it.
Sorry.
But we now know Ashley knows what a verb is.
She knows what a verb is.
If you had that, that would have been six.
I would have been in so much trouble for my little one who's eight and sitting here too
and she's been doing verbs.
Oh, there you go.
You were prepared for verbs.
You needed it earlier.
Very good.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm in so much trouble from my little one who's eight, who's in year two and she's been doing verbs. Oh, there you go.
You were prepared for verbs.
You needed it earlier.
Very cool.
I did.
Somebody in the backyard could have been a...
Say hi.
Oh, yeah.
Hello.
Did Ella say hi?
Hi.
Hi.
Mummy nailed verb, Ella.
Hopping.
Hopping, yeah.
Silly.
Bang, I bet you Ella knows what an adverb is too.
Absolutely.
Probably.
Something in the backyard could...
No, sorry, you go.
Do you know what an adverb is, Ella?
Adverb...
It's okay.
Okay, I'm...
Up with business!
We should have left it on adjective.
I mean verb, I apologize.
Oh, yeah, it could have been a hose in the backyard, a band, could have been Hansen,
an ice cream flavor honeycomb.
I gave you a hat for winter autumn, but why not?
Why not?
I don't think you answered you got it correct.
You don't go away empty handed.
You and Ella score $100 to spend online at Muck Hair.
Thank you, that's awesome guys.
So your hair will be fire for the wedding.
Oh yes.
But you gotta take care of the gift yourself.
That's okay.
Thank you, Ashley. Thank you've got to take care of the gift yourself. Thank you Ashley. Bye. Enjoy Fiji. Did well. Two play again tomorrow at 6.30 and 8 for $10,000. Up next though. I'm getting
hit. I'm getting slammed. You made a huge call earlier. I know. We've got to dig down. We'll do it after Miley.
Jess and Ducco. I don't think I can make an apology because the statement's already been said.
We were playing a year ago.
And hey, just because you're going against the grain doesn't mean you need to give anyone
an apology.
What you owe us is an explanation.
We were playing a year ago the song before.
It was Singalong tracks.
It was Carpool.
It was not his best theme, but we don't have to drill down on that.
It was A-Theme.
It's national carpool with your friend.
Exactly what it was.
A-Theme.
Homework attack day.
Queen came on. It was not his best theme but we don't have to drill down on that. It was a theme. It's national carpool.
Exactly what it was. A theme.
Queen came on and I said, ah, don't really like Queen. Don't get it. Don't understand it.
I respect the talent and I understand but my opinion is not popular.
Don't try and make it better.
But I just don't really vibe them. It doesn't get me going.
You said you could take a bit of We Are the Champions, the boom boom clap.
Yeah. Boom boom.
But the thing about a Queen song for me is I like 30 seconds of a Queen song, I don't like
seven minutes of it.
And all the songs from the 80s, well as we learnt in Year of the Song, that's from 79,
they're long.
They're long.
Bohemian Rhapsody might be one of the longest songs in history.
You served on me by Taylor Swift I think.
But a big call!
People coming for me on the text line. 0488881069 Stacey says STFU ducko I'm glad she said...
Shut the up ducko. She's in it with that. They are not over... this is all in
caps. Stacey is mad at you. Had a couple of DMs, a couple more messages. Queen I
think arguably, one of the greatest of all time.
Yeah. People are saying I'm uncultured. Uncultured. Well I am from Queensland. You and Charlie XCX
can have your good time over there but Queen, one of the greatest. So I thought we could do a 13,
10, 60 because I put my neck out. What does everyone like that you don't like? That's right.
Because clearly everyone likes Queen. I'm just in that camp where I just don't vibe it.
That's right. Because clearly everyone likes Queen. I'm just in that camp where I just don't vibe it.
For me, Ducco. Now, I
think you two have talked about this. My husband, certainly a massive fan, would love to get another temperature check.
Cruise control. Oh my god, I don't understand it. Never, Ducco, never in my life
have I felt the need to put it on. I use cruise control. Do you know how to though? Yeah, yeah, there's that.
Genuine question.
She doesn't trust the machine.
That's what it is.
To be honest, I don't trust myself.
But like the car.
I don't trust myself.
I know your car.
Not to go, oh, it's self-driving now and look away.
You don't need to look away.
You're not supposed to look away.
I know that, but I don't.
Hang on a minute.
Angus tries to tell me, he puts it on in 50 zones.
Yeah, I do.
I put it on the way to work today in school zones.
So I don't.
Sorry, on the way to work, you've got a four minute drive.
Yeah, absolutely.
Whack it in 60.
Cause I had a few speaking funds once upon a time on the way to work.
So it's a good way for me to not go the speed limit.
School zones in an afternoon.
Cause 40 feels so slow.
You'll put 40k's cruise control.
Yep.
Absolutely.
No.
It's the power.
What about if you're going for a big drive up the highway or whatever?
When I used to live in regional Victoria and I would drive home, that was a two and a half
hour slog.
Foot on the accelerator the whole time, babe.
Also it's much more fuel efficient.
Yeah, it's way better on fuel.
Is it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I didn't know that.
The only thing I hate about it.
But now the issue is, and Shige, I don't know how to turn it on now, but I honestly,
I have no desire.
You don't like it.
To turn it on.
I don't like it.
It feels a bit too the cars in control.
It's a bit too iRobot for me.
I don't like it.
Okay.
But it seems a lot of people do.
A lot of people enjoy it, but it's up to you.
13, 10, 60.
What does everyone like that you don't?
Shy Guy hates a lot of things. A lot. Star enjoy it, but it's up to you. 13, 10, 60, what does everyone like that you don't? Shy Guy hates a lot of things.
A lot.
Star Wars, hate it.
Ah, interesting.
Yeah, okay.
See, for me, it's maybe a bit like Queen for you.
I don't love Star Wars, but I respect the franchise
and how huge it is.
Tried it.
Yeah, tried it and liked it.
Babs had one of the greats.
Now, as you'll note, none of us have gone to food.
I imagine food will be big in this sort of conversation, but Babs, I know you're working hard answering
phones. What's something everyone likes that you don't?
I don't really like mango.
Yeah, you said that the other day. It baffles me because I love mango. I've never met anyone
who doesn't like mango.
It's one thing if you said like mango-flavoured things. It's artificial. No, the fruit in
the peak of summer, that is one of the great joys. That's a good question. Do you like mango flavored things, it's artificial. No, the fruit in the peak of summer.
That is one of the great joys.
That's a good question.
Do you like mango Weespars?
I mean, I don't love them, but I'll eat them.
I just don't really find enjoyment out of it.
Like I don't really get why everyone loves mangoes a lot.
Isn't it funny?
It's you two said something off here that I was shook by.
You don't like hammocks.
Oh yeah.
Oh, I thought you were going to say the big bang theory.
No, everyone has that.
Everyone has that. That's the opposite question. I think I want to join you in that part. Yeah, yeah. That's just you and me. I don't like hammocks. I yeah. I thought you were going to say the Big Bang Theory. No, everyone has that. That's the opposite question as well. I think I want to join you in that part.
I love a good hammock. In Alphabucks, yes, one of the questions, what could you find outside, starting with H, suggested, sorry, yes, suggested a response to hammocks. Shy Guy and I went, who wants a hammock?
I love a good, relaxing hammock.
Alright, let's follow that up because where do you sit on hammocks, Babs?
I know, again, you're talking to people.
Can you come back to us?
Where do you sit on hammocks?
Do you like hammocks?
I love a good hammock.
Alright, well we're splitting here.
Should we, we'll temperature check off air.
Yeah.
13, 10, 60.
What does everyone like?
Yep.
That you don't.
Get under the skin right now.
Now's your chance.
Yeah.
Jess and Ducco.
Jess and Ducco. 13, 10, 60. What does everyone like that you don't?
Not even a slip of the tongue from you, Ducko, but we played a Queen song earlier when we were playing
Here of the Song and your immediate instinct, because you know, you're vulnerable, you share,
you don't have any walls up. You went, oh Queen's overrated.
I don't really love Queen.
And people are not happy.
I feel the same way about ABBA.
And the movie Mamma Mia.
And the play.
I know you've got your whole in-laws offside
by not liking Mamma Mia.
Yep, I feel the same way with tea as well.
I thought you'd come around to tea.
Herbal tea, but I do not drink black tea.
You're not having an English breakfast.
No, but I'll drink herbal tea.
I like a good herbal tea.
I saw you at Tea2 the other day.
I do love tea too. You're just in the her, you know what, you should try a Melbourne breakfast. It's black tea, I like a good herbal tea. I saw you at T2 the other day. I do love T2. You're just in the
you know, you should try Melbourne breakfast. It's black tea but with a hint of vanilla. Oh. You might like that. T2 is good
because it's colourful. So I'm like, oh, they've got me. It's shiny and colourful. Why do I want every single teacup in here? I don't
even drink out of teacups. A few people supporting you in the band World Duck. not with Queen. Emma has just text us 0488881069.
Hi, guys. I can't stand the band U2.
Oh, fair. I see that.
I mean, Bono, I think he's on the nose for people.
And when they dropped that album that everyone got on their iPhones.
That's right. That's when they went downhill.
That's probably actually something for me as well.
I said cruise control, but I remember when the iPhone was brought out
and I was like, it's a phase guys
and it's not gonna catch on. Stuck with me Motorola razor for way too long. But
131060, what is everyone like that you don't? Rose, good morning to you. Hi, I'm with Babs. I don't like mangoes. You don't like mangoes? I can see why Babs put you through just for a bit of support on the air.
And I have never ever bought one.
My granddaughter loves them.
I can't stand them.
They're sticky and ooey and I just don't like the texture.
Rose have you had one in your whole life and gone, nah that's it for me.
I do like passion fruit and mango yogurt but only for the passion fruit. I'll dig around the mango piece.
You could just buy passion fruit yogurt.
You could.
You don't need the mango part.
Emma on 13 10 60, what does everyone like that you don't?
I will get to that in one second.
I just have to say, Ducko, you need to come with a warning.
You can't just drop on people that you don't like ABBA as well.
We're still reeling with the Queen theme.
I just slid that under the door didn't I? In the Tuesday morning everything's going la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la But come on, Grandpa! Yeah, I know, it's an unpopular opinion!
He doesn't like upsetting people, but he's gotta stand to his own truth, you know?
Yep, yep.
Don't worry Emma, I'm gonna play him Voolay-Voo later.
That's my favourite episode, I reckon we can get him on site.
Give me my phone.
Maybe a total mashup, we want some gimme gimme and a bit of money money.
Ah!
Goodness me!
Alright Emma, I'll work on that, I'm like the DJ of the team, but sure. I'll turn it right up. Just you, Ducko.
What have you got for us?
So you know that dry nut chocolate butter that's filthy? Nutella?
I thought you were getting really specific.
You don't like Nutella?
Not filthy. Filthy.
I'm not a huge spread fan in general.
See, I love Nutella.
Nutella could take all of that.
But Emma, that's another level of hatred.
When Emma couldn't hang out, obviously.
No, she's listening to ABBA with Jam.
And you're over there with Bliss and Esso and Nutella.
I think ABBA ruffles up more feathers than Queen.
I think so.
Yeah, it does.
I mean, Queen didn't win Eurovision.
No, it didn't.
Beck, hello?
Good morning.
What does everyone like that you just don't?
All fruit.
You don't eat any fruit?
I don't eat any fruit.
There are too many flavours and too many textures.
They don't group together nicely for me, so I just, I don't like any of it.
Interesting.
It's so bad because I want to now just rattle off all my feathers.
I don't like any of it.
I don't like any of it.
I don't like any of it.
I don't like any of it.
I don't like any of it.
I don't like any of it. I don't like any of it. I don't like any of it. I don't like any of it. I don't group together nicely for me so I just I
don't like any of it. Interesting. It's so bad because I want to now just rattle off
all my favorite fruits but she has just said I don't like any. What about fruit flavored things
like you know the lady said before about yogurt or an ice cream that's lemon
flavored or whatever. Nothing. The closest thing that I will like is I like a lemon sorbet.
That's the most fruit you'll consume.
You're a doctor's nightmare.
Get some fruit in your diet now, wouldn't have thought so.
You've got to eat a lot of vegetables to make up for the lack of vitamins and minerals.
Michelle on 131060.
Even blueberries, like one of the greats.
Raspberrys.
Raspberrys.
Michelle, hello.
Hey, how are you?
Yeah, so good babe.
What are you not like that everyone seems to like?
Leopard print.
Anything.
So choose.
Michelle, hasn't leopard print made a comeback as well this season?
Oh, but it's every year.
Every year it comes out and I go, oh my God, why?
Do you think it's a bit tacky?
Yes. Yeah. It's expensive. I don't want to offend any life better than this.
It's such a joke with my friends and family that I swear when I die they're going to
dress me in it.
It's such a joke now.
Whenever someone sees it they're like, oh mumble like that.
Michelle, even like a leopard print G string, would it be sexy?
No.
No? No.
You would not get her in that.
Absolutely not.
Not near me bits says Michelle.
Certainly not down there.
That's funny.
Leopard print is a funny one.
That is, and she is right every season, particularly winter, it does-
Pops back.
Pops back in all the shops.
I don't think I've seen you wear leopard print.
I went through a real, you know why?
I went through a real leopard print phase when I first started clubbing.
Really felt my ethnic with a bold red lip.
I can see that.
Now it's back with the mob wife aesthetic.
You pair it with a nice leopard pant, a big leopard, sorry, a leather pant and a leopard coat.
Oh, it's a bold look.
It's a look.
Kylie, what don't you like that everyone else does?
This may not be very popular, but Beyonce.
Hot damn Kylie.
I thought maybe Ducko could find one or two in the Queen camp.
Could we find anyone in the Beyonce camp?
It's interesting because I think-
She just rubbed me up the wrong way.
Did you like any of her old music?
Destiny's Child, yes.
Oh, Destiny's Child.
It's when she went solo. She needed Kelly to dilute. Do you like, did you like any of her old music? Uh, Destiny's Child.
Yes.
Oh, Destiny's Child.
She needed Kelly to dilute.
Okay.
Again, like our fruit friend, I want to write a single ladies.
Halo.
Like she's got such a diverse, now she's entered the cowboy, the country realm.
Country area.
But Kylie.
Doesn't like Beyonce at all.
No, just rubs me up the wrong way.
I don't know why.
What does that mean?
The music or her as the woman?
Um, just the music, I think.
Yeah, just the style.
It just, yeah, doesn't do anything for me.
Yeah.
Oh, jeez.
It's a bit like me and Abba, really.
Yeah.
Who do you like, Kylie?
Oh, no, that's right.
Um, oh gosh.
I'm a boy band girl from way back.
Oh, she's an NSYNC.
Backstreet Boys.
Backstreet Boys.
NSYNC.
Five Soss.
Oh, five.
Kylie's a huge 1D gal.
Hell yeah.
Yeah.
Jess and Ducco.
I had the in-laws, my in-laws come to town, plus the great grandparents.
So Morgan's grandparents came to town to meet Little Flo.
Pretty cool.
Florence has great grandparents in her life.
Yeah, it is cool. And they were very keen to meet little Flo. Pretty cool. Florence has great grandparents in her life.
And they were very keen to meet her. Obviously, you know, it's beautiful and that happens
and they were lovely with her. It was really kind and you know, all that sort of stuff.
But Morgan's Morgan's grandparents are hmm. They are stuck in their ways very much so.
And at what age? We're talking 80 plus yeah but
like very stubborn very you're just on eggshells when they're around and not
just like not just me being the you know the son-in-law and whatever and best
behavior it's like everyone's on eggshells then Morgan's dad's parents
right Morgan's mom I've never seen her malfunction more than when they're here
like she's been in that family. Yeah, for ages.
Decades and decades.
And yet he's still maybe not completely comfortable.
Yeah, not completely comfortable.
Being her true self.
So the first night they get there, they've, they're luckily they weren't staying with us.
They're all staying in a big Airbnb and we have this dinner, right?
And Morgan's mum's cooking the dinner and Morgan's grandma's got the opinion.
I'm not cooking anything.
I'm done.
Like this is, I'm just here to, you're leaving this weekend.
Like, I'm on holidays.
I'm on holidays, I'm here to meet my granddaughter, my great granddaughter, whatever.
We get there and some of the cousins are upstairs sort of hiding, I think, hiding away from the grandparents.
Well there's knives, a hot stove, there's weapons around when the kitchen's in action.
Robyn's decided to cook this like one pot chicken dish.
That's Morgan's mum, where you put the chicken in there, there's potatoes and whatever you put in one pot.
Yummy.
Never use this oven. It's an Airbnb oven and it's hard to use other people's ovens when you don't know how hot they get, how long it takes, all that gear.
This oven probably wasn't fantastic and she's using one of the, like the, you can buy like the alfoil trays.
Oh, the disposable ones.
Correct, yeah, because it wasn't her house.
And then she's winging out, like the grandma's making a few little comments here and there.
Oh no, she's hovering.
She's hovering but she's not doing anything.
She's already saying a few things.
She's already told me that because we call Florence Flo.
And she's already told me, well, I don't like the name Flo.
I'm going to call her Florence.
And I was like, okay, you call her that if you want that as her name.
I will call my daughter Flo.
I can't wait to see her around Christmas time.
She's going to be a bundalala.
Well, we haven't seen them in years, you know, and everyone's just taken a few breaths.
Why?
What do you mean?
Then Robin's stressing about it.
She pulls it out of the alfalfa tray, Morgan's mom, and it bends and it just drops and all
the juice comes out onto the floor.
But the chicken stayed in.
And Morgan's mom's like about to cry Morgan goes in she's helping
I've got the baby and then because the album was open for so long every single smoke alarm in the house goes off
Like there was like five of them in this house
They're just to show Morgan Morgan's granddad so deaf. He's sitting on the couch and we're all like
Morgan's grandma's yelling. we're all panicking,
I'm on a chair trying to get the smoke alarm down.
Wipe it at eight o'clock.
Yeah, Morgan's mom is stressing and Morgan's granddad looks at me and goes, is someone's
phone ringing?
Everyone's evacuated at this point, left granddad.
I had no idea.
Anyway, we get a by that search.
Yeah, could you get it granddad?
I'm just dealing with this over here.
He's obviously turned his hearing aids off.
Yeah, 40 years ago.
Yeah.
By that stage, Robin's like, stuff, dinner's ready like 20 minutes later or whatever.
We're eating off of...
I was thinking, geez, there was chicken and potato, roast potatoes.
It didn't feel like they were in there for long enough, but let's just get this meal done.
We all sit down to eat and I'm like, we're all they're eating and these potatoes are raw.
Like your bite, it was like raw.
And the chicken, and the chicken, it was thigh. So you know how thigh always looks a bit pink.
People are then, you can tell everyone's looking around that the thigh was looking real pink.
And I'm like, and she's cooked for what?
Like eight people or something.
And you could tell everyone's like, she bites into the potato and she drops her cutlery.
She goes, oh, Robert, I'm sorry.
These aren't cooked.
Nothing is cooked on this plate.
Oh my God.
And Morgan's like, well, you can put it in the microwave.
And I'm like, put it in the microwave.
It was so funny.
And then it was this thing where I was like, the chicken is not cooked.
And if I eat this and we get get food poisoning but I cannot say anything
no because whose side are you on exactly so I'm just scraping away at it so I'm
just scraping away at this chicken like at the edges of it you know then you're
taking a bite spinning in your napkin taking a bite where's Pam when you need her Hit presents Friday's Live 2025.
Howard by Maccas.
F-R-I-D-A-Y-Z.
Yeah!
Just before nine o'clock you heard that.
Which is your signal to call 13 10 60 every day this week.
We have a double pass to Friday's Live.
NG Stadium 18th of October 2025.
As we know the lineup is unbelievable.
Mariah, Pitbull, Lil Jon, Tiny Tempa, Eve, Jordan Spark, Yo Mafia and more.
It's incredible.
But you had to call when you heard the rap on.
Now we teased you all morning.
Someone who got in though was...
Killarney.
Hello. You got it! Yay!
Oh my gosh!
Kelani, have you, we were saying yesterday, you know, could go anytime from 6.
Have you been with us all morning or have you just swooped in at the 11th hour?
We just got in the car the probably last 15 minutes heading to the dentist.
Oh wow.
Oh my god. The Bradbury-it. They Bradbury-it. Well won't this to the dentist. Oh wow. The Bradbury it. They Bradbury it.
Well won't this make the dentist appointment so much more bearable?
I know it's not usually somewhere people are excited to go.
Whereas Kalani can sit there, that drill can be going and she's thinking
I get to go to Fridays Live, I can handle anything.
When you say we're going to the dentist who are you going with?
My mum.
So are you and your mum going to Fridays Live now together?
Definitely.
Who are you excited for on the line-up, Kalani? Are you Mariah fans?
A little bit, definitely Pitbull maybe with Khalifa.
Yeah, Whiskby. Oh man, that'd be so good.
Sick.
Well, Kalani, enjoy your going.
Thank you so much.
There you go, you enjoy the dentist. Thank you so much. There you go.
You enjoy the dentist.
Oh, you enjoy that dental chair.
I got a sick...
I love going to the dentist because I love them
complimenting me on my oral hygiene.
So you've never had a filling, have you?
No, but I've had braces three times.
So I really just like take a lot of pride and care.
Oh man, I've had braces twice and 15 fillings.
So...
And your father-in-law's an endodontist.
Oh it's a horrible time. Yeah too much saliva, acidic-y saliva is my problem. Wild. Yeah I have a
build-up of saliva. So you've got acidic saliva, Babs out there has got chalky teeth. Yeah chalks.
I really enjoyed the drill going. You got good teeth. Shy Guy what's your feelings towards the dentist?
I don't like the dentist. Do you have any feelings? Yeah I think I have like two or three. Okay. But they talk
to you while they've got stuff in your mouth.
Yeah, cause they can understand.
I can't talk.
It's very dental dependent, isn't it?
I hate that drill.
I hate the drill.
Oh, the drill's horrible.
You know what I don't mind?
That scraper.
You know that big hole?
And the lady, like the assistant can never get right with the suction.
No, they never can.
It's like I'm drowning on one side.
I'm drowning on one side.
So I'll try to chat to you.
Oh, it's the worst.
And you're like trying not to swallow without looking like you're swallowed.
To be fair to them though, it would be hard to get that suction to someone else's mouth and get their saliva.
Totally! My dentist in the room I usually go just has like a poster of a tropical paradise.
But I got put in a different room.
TV!
Yeah, mine has a TV.
What the? Why do I keep getting put in that room?
I can tell Morgan's dad to upgrade.
Bro, it's very... Now obviously there's no sound going, but the captions were on.
I've still got the Where's Wally posters. I'm just trying to find him. Yeah, that's really far away
And I have a telescope I love the dentist's a kid when I get the happy gas and now that I'm not allowed it cuz I'm
Too old you would get a lollipop and a sticker and I'd be high as a kite in that place at the age of 13
Goodness me now. I just get a mini toothpaste and three more flossers. I don't need this much floss.
I'm done.
I don't go through it that fast.
Oh, flossy.
I got told to get prescription toothpaste.
I said, no thanks.
I'll just get whatever is that cold.
What's that stuff called?
I think I've had that before.
I don't know.
Why do you need prescription?
She gave me a full prescription and everything.
I was like, I'm not going to chemistry.
It's like stronger for the teeth.
It's like medicated.
It's got more um.
Fluoride.
Fluoride in it.
I was like, it's also $20 a tube. I'm not doing that.
They're not cheap. But sometimes I wonder how much Colgate's actually doing.
You know what I mean?
You gotta wonder.
And then there's Dentix from Aldi.
And then you go on the dark side of the internet and they go, it's all a scam.
It's all a scam.
What are those colours made of when it's in the three colours?
The stripe. Peppermint.
I used to get the bubblegum toothpaste flavour.
Good chance.
Do you remember Milky Teeth?
Your first toothpaste?
Yeah, yeah.
My daughter, we've just started brushing her teeth.
She hates it.
I have to pin her down like a squirming crocodile just to get in there.
It's not a fun chapter.
It's a tough carry.
It's a tough carry, but it's important.
Dave, you've got to keep your teeth hygiene, otherwise you'll end up like Babs.
Chalky.
She's just confident today, hey?
Just love Babs. I know. You good out there Babsy? Yeah I'm
fine. Have you had fun? Yeah it's been pretty fun today. What do you reckon about Shaggy's
performance? You reckon he's been a bit caffeinated today, a bit more upbeat? He was at the start but
now I can tell he's tired. Yeah he's had that drop. We'll get you another one brother. Falling off a cliff.
Come on. So tomorrow do we try a bigger coffee at six
or multiple throughout the show?
Well I think, what time are you waking up in the morning?
Early.
Because you're...
Good lie.
Don't want to tell our secrets.
Because you're meant to have coffee an hour after wake up time
for it to get maximum effect.
Okay.
More than an hour.
Yeah.
Alright.
More than an hour.
Have you seen those things that's like
an apple in the morning does the same as a coffee?
Yeah.
As a caffeine, yeah. I just don't believe that. I know. those things that's like, an apple in the morning does the same as a coffee? Yeah, there's caffeine, yeah, yeah.
I just don't believe that.
No it doesn't.
God forbid he eats a piece of fruit.
I feel like I still taste the coffee in my throat.
Probably.
It's like it's lined my esophagus.
Maybe.
I guess.
And a big shout to everyone who's still messaging on the text line about my hatred for Abba
and Queen.
Abba and Queen?
Which one do you think is upset more people?
I feel like we're getting more about Abba now.
We are now.
Some guys said that they wanted to turn gay for me, but now that I don't like Abba,
he doesn't know if he can turn gay for me anymore. So, I mean-
The phrase, you're off the list.
Yeah, he's got a list.
Who else is on the list? I'd like to know.
Wow, I want to know that. That one stung me the most. Someone else said they're disappointed
with me. I don't really care, but that one hurt me. That one really stung me. You know?
Hey, it's an unpopular opinion, guys.
Absolutely. We enjoyed everyone sharing. It was a safe space.
Hey man, someone said Beyonce.
Someone said all fruit!
Yeah, that is unhealthy.
I think we stand for fruit on this show.
We do, we're a big fruit show. Fruit and veg.
You don't like mandarins and I love them, but we can all abide by...
Fruit.
Fruit!
