The Friends meal has landed at Maccas with one of six characters to collect. Here we go! Welcome to the Jess and Rowan podcast. Oh, well, welcome to the podcast. Hell yeah. Just want to give myself a big pat on the back for two full weeks of radio. Hell yeah. Well, yesterday or possibly earlier, I asked for my flowers for being the last member standing of the team on a weekday until Shagher said I came back.

Sneaky. So I will give you your flowers, Rowan. Thank you. Two full weeks, not IV for you this week. Oh my God, my voice is back normal. This week has been much easier. Absolutely. What vocal hygiene have you undertaken to keep yourself fighting fit?

I think my body is just used to talk. Because I realised when I was, I basically finished the radio. I basically went from talking all the time, nonstop all day and on the radio, to being at my house by myself listening to dance music all day until Lucy came home and then we would just talk like normal people. So I think when I came. got back on the radio, my body went, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And I got a little sick.

It was smoke and stuff. The whole thing. My sleep changed. But now I'm getting up properly. Match fitness. Still can't get more than like seven and, oh, no, six and a half hours. Like I'm trying really hard to get the eight. Can't get more than like six and a half.

Because your body's just waking up. That's hello. Well, this morning I saw you knock back like a fully grown adult pelican. Oh, yeah, me Gallup. Absolute monster handful of pills. Supplements. Herb pills. Your naturopath has prescribed.

Clear little gel caps that have stuff in them. Shaiper, where do you stand on that? How many pills can you get down the gullet at one time if you were going to do a supplement? Sorry, your mic wasn't on one more time. Do better. I can't take like one pill. Bro, me too. I have to talk myself into.

I have to psych myself out to do like a little tiny panadol. Do you know how long I stayed on liquid. medicine like a child because I couldn't do a demison pill? I can't do it. Roan, you should do a class. I could do like 10. I need to talk myself into it to the point where the tablet starts. Oh, and that's horrific.

Dissolving on your tongue. On my tongue. Oh! I'm terrified. Are you terrified to get stuck in your throat? Yes. That's what I'm terrified. But see, Rowan then said one of the great ick sentences, he can feel that globule of pill now like

slowly making his way down as esophagus. That's what I hate. I hate that. I hate that It's good. You know how Chris Jenner has done a masterclass on like brand? You should do a masterclass. How to get all your herbs in at once. To be fair, it's just a bit of a party trick. And if you weren't there, I would have probably gone three down, three down.

Fair, but it was a part. It's still more than one. It's amazing. Yeah. Anyway, enjoy the show. You know, Jess. I'm all about We-Woo methods to help yourself.

You'll get to know Rowan. Hot, horny, happy. Yay! This is going to be good, it's going to be fine. It's going to be alright. A little bit out of mine. Anything could happen. Most of it probably will.

I guess I need to enter the mind of a man. Please enter me. This is Jess and Rowan. This is going to be good. Welcome to Friday. This is Jess and Rowan. We're having a great time. We are enjoying us.

yourselves and hope you are too. Amen, don't worry it's Friday the 13th. It's not going to get spooky. I didn't even realize it might get spooky. Well, we can't guarantee anything that's going to come out of the big stick. You like a bit of spook, you like a bit of creep, you like a little bit of... Oh, I'm interested in getting spooky. Oh, okay.

I feel like getting spooky. But it ain't mind. When there's a day to get spooky, it is Friday the 13th and here we are. Stay away from the black cats. The black cats are today, isn't that? Don't walk under any ladders. Don't do that today. No.

Try and go hunting for a four-leaf clover. Don't break a mirror. Don't break a mirror. Do you believe in the breaking of the mirror being seven years bad luck or seven years bad sex? Oh, luck. The luck thing. Can't get any worth it.

No, no, no, no, no. Welcome to Friday. Yeah, we do it, baby. And a big good morning to Cooper Woods. He won gold in the men's moguls. Oh, yeah, to ski. Yeah. We're on the board.

That's it. Finally won. Rock on. How many do we get ever? Like, do you reckon we get? How many do we get? We are not as strong in the winter as we are in the summer. Obviously swimming is where we dominate.

However, there's some killers out there. Well done. Gold. And Moguls is hard. Remember we were talking about moguls earlier on the knees. You'd have to take some supplements for the cartilage or something. We are sending positive vibes to Cooper's knees this morning. So when you do like moguls, do you do a bunch of other things?

Like obviously with the swimmers, they might do the 100, they might do the 200. Do they just kind of go over there with one event? One event? Are they like, I'm going to do the moguls and then I'm going to rock the speed skiing? That's a fair question. I reckon you've got to dedicate to one because imagine one event knocks you out for the other. You know, it's so injury prone the Winter Games. Mowls would stuff your legs on too.

Because these are hard sports. Rock on 25 years old. Just look at it on today show. They are cramped. It is pretty great that we're an Aussie with a gold at the winter games. It is cool. We won four medals in the last winter games in Beijing. Yes.

Medals in general. Four overall, yeah. Not necessarily gold. Any gold? One gold, two silver, one bronze. Okay, so we're on track. Now, can you quickly look up, where does Cooper Woods hail from? Because I'm going to put it, it's got to be Victoria or Tazzi.

Maybe it could be New South Wales. Rimbula. Ah, okay, on the border. That makes sense to deal with the mounds. The Tazzi, have you ever seen Tazzy snow? No. It is basically like a little mound. Oh, okay.

You go up and then you may as well just throw yourself down on your stomach. So you're not learning to become a moguls champion. You might go, wow, this snow's fun. I'm going to move to the mainland. Understood. You're not training to be a gold medalist. You could do some like V-O-2 max training where you go up and down the hills all the time. It's very hilly, but there's no, there's not like big mountain things though.

To actually learn the crowd. No, no real like snowmounds. Do we have any Queenslanders on the Winter Games team? There's no way. that's a niche Google shy guy. But this is a hard country to be a winter games superstar. Don't you think? Compared to your Canada's and your US's and your Italian Alps, your Swiss Alps,

so for him to win gold, that's a big freaking deal. Yeah, you know, we are more of a sun kind of country. We are a pool. Canada, cold country. You know, I used to work with this girl who was from Edmonton, north of Edmonton, which is like really cold. About a year, about a year in Whistler or Australia, as they called it. Wistralia.

So she was this French-Canadian girl. And she said. She sounds hot. She was hot. They're all hot, man. And so she said she would, some days, not be allowed to go outside because it was so cold. And I was like, that's nonsense. And she's like, no, because basically you up.

She was up north of Emerton, which is the higher you go, the colder and drier it is. You close it to the pole. Up, up, up. And so she was, oh, Montreal, sorry, top of Montreal. So she said you would go out. And if you had wet eyes, your eyelashes would shut, get disorientated. And people would fall over, like, on the road and get hit by cars and stuff. because you couldn't open your eyes.

Could I just drill down on one thing? Wet eyes? Yeah, like, you know, if you're like, you know, a little teary. Yeah, like a little teary. Like, it's just a normal Wednesday for Babs, a little teary. Just crying. You couldn't go outside because your eyes would basically fuse shut.

Have you ever thought that your eyes would fuse shut if you've got a little bit of a... I can't fathom what even you're saying. Do you know what I'm saying? Wow. So that's, that's, no wonder they're so good at the cold. Because in this country, we sell stuff for dry eye. We're trying to combat dry eye, but you're telling me, over there, you need dry eyes.

I think the problem is it's not even a wet eye. It's just a normal human bodily function. You need a moist eye. You need a moist eye. But their moist eyes kill them. Shy guy, do we have an answer on Queenslanders? There are five Queenslanders. Wow.

Well, mad respect to them also. They must have moved when they were small. They must have. Still claiming it too. 23 from New South Wales. Rock on. Rock on, man. Makes sense.

Well, good morning to everyone. Good morning to everyone. In particular, Cooper Woods, but it's a big Friday. I'm very, I don't know if you've noticed, wearing mascara today. Not usually part of my repertoire. Oh, is that because we have the great Morgan Evans coming here? No? Yeah.

Oh, okay. You look to me like, don't say that. No, no. Oh, you're into that Morgan Evans kind of like. He's a good look of dirt, isn't he? Gorgeous. And I just like his vibe. We're wearing your Howland shirt as well.

That's where he's playing on the weekend up in Newcastle. That's right. Big country music festival. Tickets still available. Morgan, one of the headliners. Yes, Lanny Wilson as well. Look, I found one necklace I owned with a cowboy douche. I'm really gone themed.

It's almost like you're wearing the shirt to go, don't worry, Morgan, I will be there. Oh, Morgan. I will be there. I will be there with my two-year-old and my mother. And I know the owner, so I will be behind the stage if you need me. Hell yeah. You run on the ride, Zahya.

Yeah. Morgan, what do you need? Jack and Coke? Your boy, Roman's gotcha. What about a kiss on the cheek? No, I'm talking about you, not me. Look at you. I'm walking around with a whiteboard.

If you see me, I have a whiteboard with a raffle number on it. And then in hell, if you have one of the premium tickets, I'll be DJing for like 45 minutes. Sick. Playing some, just some banners. I'm not allowed to come in there because the two-year-old is over 18. Yeah, don't come in, man. Leave her outside. Someone look after her.

They're nice people. That's why I brought my mum. Good call. She can stay. Oh, you say the kid. Your mum can stand with me, baby. Next, we want to talk about, is it rude to have your camera off in Zoom? calls. Everyone's Zooming. What's the etiquette? Everyone's got an opinion. This is Jess and Rowan. Happy

Friday. This is Jess and Rowan. Zoom. Teams. Yep. WebEx. Whatever your business is using for video calling in a work setting. Yeah. Is it rude to have your camera off? I think it's not rude, but I think you need to explain why it's off. So we connect on a call. Let's do a scenario. It's us for. Yep, yep, yep. Babs has called a meeting. Oh, okay, we're all on Zoom. Babs is up and about, yeah. Babs is up and about. Do you start with your camera on, say, I don't like to show my face and turn it off? That's not bad. You can do that if you want. Or are you starting with camera off? And I go, Robin, where's your camera?

You change your mind. If you want to turn it off, if you show me your face and then all of a sudden you don't want to show me your face, what are you doing? If you don't want to show me your face at the start, what are you doing? Something suspicious. I agree. Something suspicious. Pick up a phone call. If we are on a web chat with the camera option, I think it has to be on. I think superiority as well, though, like if it's the big, big boss, like a big executive GM turns their camera off, can't ask. Because they're obviously doing more important stuff as well.

To that, I would add, if they turn it off, I'm turning mine off. That would be fair. I would agree with that. We set the precedent from the top maybe. And a lot of the commentary online is, I take my manager's lead. If she's got her camera off, I don't have mine on. But if she turns her on, I turn mine on. Because you can't be like, oh, turn your camera on and yours is off.

That doesn't work. So, yeah, I like this. Other people are saying, working from home requires trust. Cameras help build that trust. One time I remember we did an all, like, station meeting, like a content meeting in B105. They probably would a bit about my Brisbane station when I was working in Brisbane. Yeah, 30 people. Sure.

One of the girls had her camera off and we like kind of bullied her to turn it on. But she was in bed. Like, you know, like so. Lauren, what are you doing? Do you, babe? A lot of people commenting saying, where I choose to Zoom from is my business, not yours. It's not really because you're at business. Wow.

It's not really. It would be great. We don't live in Netherlands. We don't live in, you know, Narnia, guys. That's right. It's not how it hurts. I would have paid Neverland. I feel like you pivoted from Neverland to Narnia there, but either one would have worked.

I thought more like Peter Pan, but I think Netherlands is good. I like this one, though. Someone has commented, I could care less. I could not care less. Whatever you want to do on Zoom. What I hate, that was when one person, this would be bad. makes a big deal about it. So nice to see so many cameras on today.

Let's get the rest of them on for next week. Oh, loser. Loser. I actually don't care either, but it does make me curious. And unfortunately, my ADD will go, what is it? What are you doing?

What are you doing? So you turn it on. Someone said, I only turn it off in certain situations, e.g., while farting. I feel like you can do that on camera. As long as you don't do the lean over. Or you said, you mute your mic and let it fly, baby. It is advisable to turn the camera.

the camera back on sporadically to show you're still there. That's weirder to me. That's on or it's off. It draws attention. Yes, absolutely. Although, let's just say, you know, mum has to deal with the kids or something. And what walks away from the meeting? Yeah, maybe you leave the camera on it to walk away.

You don't turn the camera off. But maybe the mums might be thinking that is more polite to turn it off. Nah, see, that goes for the mute. If you are not the one presenting, you better be on mute. I don't want to hear you cough and make it noises. and your dog barking in the background. But no, that's my, that's my line. If you're ever on a Zoom with me, I want to see your phone.

Shy guy would always be the camera off. No, camera on if it's a small amount of people. Camera on, shirt off. This is Jess and Rowan. Now, I have recently taken up a new hobby. Yep. In the morning, I do some yapping. In the afternoon, I do some napping, right?

I've started to nap. We're getting a whole range of merch. You understand that. I'll be yapping, then I'll be napping. This is our 15th show. There's a lot of merch, a lot of quotes that I want to put on a t-shirt. Yeah, so right now we go on nap boy and fart girl. Team up to take over the world.

We had a great contribution from Kara, Bean Queen. No, I don't like Bing Queen. No, I like Bean Queen. Well, she's not talking to the microphone, so let's see how long that lasts. Thanks, Kara. My Napa boy. So I've been napping. I've never been a napper, right?

A nap-nuffy. And nap nuffie. I've always tried to nap, could never really nap. There's too much going on in that big old brain. Totally. And so now I'm a bit older, I guess, and I've started breakfast radio again. It gets to one o'clock. And I get this overarching feeling of could lie down for a bit.

Where the average normal contributor to society, that's what they call the 3pm slump. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And Kit Kat really jumped on that, have a break over a kick cat. You know what? It's probably my version. It's the equivalent, exactly. But obviously it's early up because you're getting up at 4 a.m. But I just want to talk to you a little bit about my nap situation.

Talk to me. Get nude. Lie down. No. Have a nap. Already wrong. Why? Nude.

That's okay. No one's in the house. Hang on, but is nude how you sleep? Sometimes, mostly. Oh, well then, sorry, that's okay. That's okay. You must recreate, in my opinion. Yeah.

I am. You must recreate, recreate sleepy time. I am. Yeah, dark room, cold. Because I put on pajamas of a night. night. So my brain went to, no, you must put pajamas. But if you are a nude sleeper, your boy, also a nude sleeper. Yeah, I'm letting that hang. Mr. Guy. So then, but I just want to talk to you about after I have the nap. Oh, okay. I kind of have a bit of feeling of like,

I have some shame. I have shame towards. So you're not waking up feeling refreshed. No, I feel refreshed and fantastic. But I feel like, what am I doing with my life? Why am I napping in the middle of the day. I've got, surely there's stuff to do. What about everyone else who doesn't have the time to nap? Mum? You know, like what? Rowan, this is one of the great BC and AC before children after children.

Do it. Do it while you can because I tried to guilt babs just the other day. She's talking about, I've got to be doing more with my life. And I tried to get on my high horse. Sweetheart, you'll never have more hours in the day. You'll never have more energy in the day. You know what I told her to do? start a novel. I want you to write a book.

Oh my God, start a novel. You should. She has it in her. I don't know. She's got the time, but she goes, oh, yeah. Learn professional chess. I don't know. You're the same. I want you to get better at Japanese. I want you to pick up an instrument. I want you to start doing CrossFit and training for a marathon. What about Pete? Maybe I'd be like you.

However, you will never be able to nap again after if children do come into your life. So you know what? Screw all the hobbies. Enjoy the naps. I was saying. But you've got to get rid of the shame because if you're not actually enjoying, it was the point. It's about five seconds of shame that I think I love my life. This is Jess and Rowan. Now, new study coming out at the moment.

If you can stand on one leg for 10 seconds, you're more likely to live longer than seven years. 10 seconds. How hard could that be? But what you're saying, Rowan, is the reverse of that. If I stumble at six or seven seconds, I'm going to die soon. Well, it's not really about the one-leg test. The Queensland physiotherapist, David Pierce came out and said, yes. This is out of Australian soil.

Piercey, yes. It holds more weight for me. Piercy jumped on and said, if you can't stand on the one leg for 10 seconds, you'd like more likely... We're both out of our chair. More likely to... To carcett. Yeah, I'm doing it.

You're more likely to not live longer than the next seven years. But... Are you on one leg right now? Yeah. Oh, you've cracked over 10. For sure. Shy guy's not getting up. My foot doing this one.

But it's working overtime. It's good. You don't have to look, Babs. I am doing it. Nah, call him out on his BS if he's lying. I was just checking. Thank you, darling. It's not necessarily one leg.

The one lead test means imminent death. It's more of an overall, if you can't balance yourself, you've got some issues. My guy didn't even break a sweat. I'm good. He did the most nonchalong shrug. Like, why are you bringing me this story?

Well, shy guy is also 35 kilos. That's not hard to balance. It's not hard to balance. But he also has the longest legs of any human man. Oh, true. So that's a long way to topple. One slight breeze.

Dr. David, Dr. David was saying your balance is a product of your visual system and the vestibular system in your ear, which sends a message back to your brain. It's all connected. What do they say? Your eyes are connected to you. The stipular system.

Yep, that's what they say. It's connected to your. Lifespan. Life span, you know. Bit of a clickbaity headline, really. Oh, Babs is too young for that. She doesn't understand. Yeah.

voted, Bab's the only one not giving it a go. Stand up. On the table. I can't see your feet from here. And what did you say? It's got to do with visual. It's a visual thing. You know how people have like, you know how people have, I guess, vertigo?

I've never had it. Oh, Babs is struggling. You don't have to do the yoga pose, babe. It's fine. Jess is trying to put you off. Trying to make sure you die in seven years. You shouldn't do that. She's killer.

Yeah, we're all fine. We're all going to be here for seven years. All fine. Hopefully. It's not, he did go on to say, it's not a singular measure, but it's a good place. to start if you can't do the balance. Wow. All great things start with one brick and this is the first brick I guess from

PSY. Yeah. Helps for a fall prevention. Well, we don't want to be. I'm not looking forward to getting old and people say, oh, he's had a fall. Guys, I fell over. I just fell over guys. I don't think you're already at that age.

Mid-30s had a fall. No, that is fall over. Whereas Babs who slipped when I was over tit yesterday in the slippery bathroom. Oh, yeah. She's still young. She fell. Did you do that report, by the way? Yeah, I had to put it in an incident report for that one.

Good girl. Had a fall. Had a, no, she just fell over. I think we just fall over. If we fell over. It was like something, you fell over. Oh, that's a great question. There's nothing more embarrassing than falling over.

Nothing. I did one of the great, well, you're an idiot moments. No. I got out of the car. My kid was asleep in the back, but I wanted to film something. So I left her asleep. And I just had to get out of the car because the window was ruining me vibe. But because I was looking down at my phone, trying to get the camera up, tripped on the curb.

How we were wearing jeans or a dress? I think I was wearing a dress. Bum in the air. Well. It's not the first time we've done, have you? I heard about the Charlestown incident. Not good. What's when you were going to get your bum out in public?

That was an accident. My dress was tucked up into a backpack. Well. Get the story straight. Bum out. Well, bum out. Still, that was my point. Only human.

And they pay you too. Unbelievable. This is Jess and Rowan. Jess and Rowan's 10K alpha bucks on here. Yes. The last of the Valentine's Day edition. Guy, fellas, out there. I hope you've got your presents.

And Jess, I've seen. Say fellas because women are much better out of the time. But we, I think, are the more celebratory of the sexes. It's in our DNA to celebrate. And yes, if you are one of those people, it's a made-up holiday. It's a hallmark holiday. They just want our money. Just lean in, guys.

But my issue is if you're one of those people and go, I can celebrate her any day. Do you, though? Do you do you randomly come home with the cherry ripe? I bet you don't. You don't. The people that say that are the ones that don't. Exactly. Exactly.

Never heard anger say it. Never heard Angus say that. And I want to put it out there. You don't need to spend $10,000. No. Just come home with her favourite chocolate for God's sake. You know what? Pick a flower off the side of the road.

We'll love it. My girlfriend Lucy, you know what she loves? Thought. That's her biggest thing. We don't have time to derail this because I've got issues with that. It's a thought that counts. It better be right, though. If you come home with a bouncy and she's allergic to coconut, the thought was wrong.

Well, you weren't thinking. So that's still not thought. Well, you could argue with the thought that counts. Yeah, you tried to kill me. Well, if it's a thought that counts, it's a shit thought and you should leave. Yes, I'm saying. Yeah, there we go. Not all thoughts were created equal.

No, no, not at all. Chloe, you've been with your partner five years? Is that correct? Yes, it is. Okay, do you think it's the thought that counts or they've got to kind of get it right? Um, I think after like five years, they'd probably have to get it right. Amen. That's what I'm saying.

But the thought is a good thing. But if they get the thought wrong, then it's like nothing counts, bro. You're wrong. I do it even know. me at all. Yeah. You know me. Chloe.

And the longer it goes on, the worse, the harder it gets. Exactly. You've got to be more crystal clear. You got to be better. Chloe, I get it. Chloe, what started out as a casual thing, five years later engaged with two kids. I mean, this is a wonderful relationship.

But we're looking for the glory here. How do you reckon you're going to go at our football? I think I'm pretty, I watch a lot of game shows. Like, I'm really into quizzing and things like that. I think I'll do it. I'm pretty competitive. So I'm like, okay, I've got to do this. What are we spending 10 grand on?

It'll go towards like a better car and just like take the kids on a holiday because I haven't been able to take them on a holiday yet. All the good stuff. Well, I don't know if it's the car you should get with two children, but perhaps a Fiat might be on the car. I just drive a Toyota Camry at the moment. Okay. Okay.

Maybe a Ford. Actually, I should have said Ford. It might be a better family car because those cars start with F. And that is what you'll be playing with. Okay. You ready to rock? Yeah. Your time will start after the first question.

Starting with the letter F, we need you to name. A drink. Fanta. An instrument. Flute. A noun. Pass. Something in the bedroom.

Um, pass. A female singer. Um, pass. A horror movie? Uh. A chocolate. A chocolate. Um.

Oh, no. A technology brand? Oh, I've gone completely blank. I tell you what, it's the clock. It's the clock. I've literally gone completely blank. You came out of the gaze before I'd even finished drink with fanta. I said, we're on here.

Oh my God, I thought we're on here for sure. I thought that too. And then, no, my brain just went. I couldn't think of anything. When I asked you for a noun, your brain went. Yeah, yeah. That's a cop. I still didn't even know a noun.

A noun is literally a thing. You literally could have said anything. Oh my God. Yeah, I know, I probably could. Could have said fork, could have said fan, could have said forest. Something in the bedroom could have said fan. Female singer could have said Fergie. Fage Hill.

Oh, Fergie. I said Furgy last night when I was practicing too. Oh, did you practice with F? Yeah, I was practicing with different letters. With all the letters. Smart. Didn't help. Horror movie, Bond Destination.

Fredo, could add to chocolate. Yeah, not a good one. Sorry, Chloe. How do you reckon John's going to go? go. Is he going to do better than two? I think he's going to do better than that, I think. Okay. All right.

Well, eight o'clock. Yeah, yeah. He'll be playing next. Thank you, Chloe. You get that Mink's Adult Boutique Prize. For Valentine's Day, anyway. We find out what you regret teaching your child. That's right.

Jess and Rowan. This is Jess and Rowan. What do you regret introducing your kid to? You know, I realized the other day when I was hanging out with your child and you were out. I was babysitting. me and my sweet partner Lucy were babysitting, that now is maybe the age that she will repeat what I say. Amen.

Well, like the last couple of years, I just let it fly. Yes. But now she's having full conversations with me. I'm like, if she's having full conversations, she can pick up what I'm doing. You are a potty-mouthed sailor. You would make bloody, what's a sweary comedian?

I don't know. Louis C.K. blush. Oh, don't compare me to that guy. No, that was a bad example. I'm nothing like that guy. I can't think I'm one other swearing. can meet. Anyway, what I'm saying is rainy. Rodney rude. Thank you. Much better

example. Is it? I don't know. I don't know. Anything's better than Louis C.K. You're right. You're right. But thank you for being conscientious. Pleasure. What do you regret introducing your kid to? Maybe it was Rowan. I'm joking. She loves me. She does. Uncle Roe. Because I, Rowan,

have for eight years been with my husband. I've failed to get him to do something. I I've tried to train him in the art of the arm tickle. Oh. What is that? What do you mean the art of the arm tickle?

Just a nice dragging of fingers across my arm. Oh, you want the kind of, I thought you meant that. You know what they like, lily-lil-lid. Who's calling that the art of? Not tickling under your peers. I was kind of like, what are we? No, tickle has two meanings. There's not art to like.

That's an arm touch. You're talking an arm touch. No, I call that tickle. My mum and I, growing up, we'd watch TV. Okay. And we'd switch one block before the ads. She would tickle my arm. Then the ads would come on and we'd switch.

I would tickle her arm. And it was a beautiful relationship. Yeah, that's there. I love an arm tickle. I think it's lovely. I think it's sensuous. I think it's beautiful and it feels nice. But Angus, your husband, Angus is callousy, gross all hands.

It's his attention, his commitment to the time it takes. Oh, he's got other stuff to do, mate. Amen. He does one drag up and go, oh, I'm going to go over there. Bro. Tickle me. My arm. Anywhere else.

And I will go, put my engagement ring on and wiggle it in front of him. Hey, this is for better or worse. In sickness and in health, tickle my freaking arm. Oh, yeah, fair. I've tried to get the kid to do it. At two years old, I've tried to teach Lucia the art of the arm tickle. Rub my arm, yep. Now, she has a little bit longer stamina than her father.

Oh, that's good. She'll tickle my arm for like four or five goes. The issue now has become, you tickle me. More? She says more all the time. I don't know what I expected. More. Having just like a personal arm tickler in the house. Of course a little tit for tat.

But now every chance she gets, she presents her arm. Elbow to the sky. More? Tickle. Tickle. Bedtime, Rowan, has now blown out by 45 minutes because she wants tickle. And she's worked out, oh, this isn't just nice on the arms. Tickle my back. Back.

So I have to tickle her back. tickle my leg. Leg. To tickle her leg. She presented her belly. She presented her belly. No. The belly's not actually quite nice, Lucia.

You can go back to arm. You're not Gianni. So she's doing what you do to Angus. Wow. A little tit for tat right there, shy guy. Yeah. All right. The way the tables have turned on Jay Farch,

I regret introducing Lucia to the arm tickle. It was selfishly motivated. And now I'm paying the price. I was one for your husband. And he introduced her to a chucky milkshake. And you should have said, seen her eyes light up when she had some of that? I was like, whoa, and he went, uh-oh.

Do you know what we've started doing? What's that? So she now demands chocolate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want chocolate. So you know what we give her? The worming chocolate. She's that, oh, wow.

And she thinks that is God's gift. Should you have that all the time? It's funny. Angus gave it to her in front of it. I was like, I already gave her one today. And he goes, how much can she have? I want to read the back of the packet. I don't think you can.

It's not like laxity on it. No, no. It should just be worm free. She's very warm, three. But that's why I wanted to know. Maybe you were like me selfishly motivated and it's backfired in your face. Or your kid has picked up something and has run with it and you're like, uh-uh, shouldn't have introduced them to this.

131060, what did you regret introducing your kid to? We'll take your calls next. This is Jess and Rowan. 131060, we'd love to hear from you. What do you regret introducing your kid to? You introduced Lucia to the sweet art of the unlawful. arm tickle or as I, sure I got to call it, the arm drag. The touch.

The touch, it's just touch. Well, no, because touch feels stationary. This is a soft fingertip up and down the arm. Drag, you're dragging your fingers down your arm. It's sensual. Looks like what you would do, like one of those dances would do kind of just in the... Oh, it feels a bit interpretive, does it? A little bit interpretive, a little bit like, suggestive.

I try and do it to myself, wrong. It's the same. That's not the same. You need someone who loves you to do it because that love imbibes through the fingertips. Just sit on your hand and maybe Make it numb it And then just drag up and down your arm That's not a bad idea

I've not tried that For eight years I've tried to convince my husband Please tickle my arm Yeah He'll go up and down once and chuff off It's boring So I thought who's a captive audience Does he do massages though?

No see there's the same vibe It's the same vibe I don't We actually one of the Wasn't a fight because I get sad I don't get yelly And I was like You do

You don't You just don't put any love into the massage Oh, he's like, look at this. Look what I provide. I sat in front of him on the couch. He was lying down. He didn't even sit up. He did it whilst lying down with one hand.

Atta boy. It's got a big, big strong hand. What did you regret your introducing your kid to? So I'm trying to get my two-year-old to do it. Now, all she wants is tickles in return. Added 45 minutes to bedtime. Bet she did. My bad.

Hello, Katie. Hi, good morning. How are you? Katie, we're pretty good. I just can't get anyone to tickle me for long enough. What's going on with you? What are you regret introducing? the kid too.

Look, I, at the time, it was a great idea because, you know, it was fun. But I introduced my three-year-old to prosciutto and yummy cheeses and nice fruit, with nothing wrong with that until at about five years old, we went to a birthday party. And when we were there, there was more kids that had RSVP. So the mum was like, crap, I don't have enough party bag. So she emptied them all in and just gave the kids a bag and said, Guys, there's a full lollie bar there. Fill it up with whatever you want.

Well, I've seen all the kids there. It was great. And then we were driving home and my daughter, who was five, says, that was the best party I've ever been to. Lollies. I'm like, oh, okay, she's got whatever she wants. And she says, Mom, you have to pull over. So I pulled over.

And in her party bag, she had put a whole unopened wheel of triple-breed cream. Oh, she pinched the chakutery board. She didn't go for the lollies. She went for the saramies. I'm taking that. Prachute on my blurt. She had great. And she goes, this is going to be so nice this afternoon with your wine.

Oh, my God. This is the busiest five-year-old ever. I reckon you're doing parenting correct. Katie, that is fantastic. Very good. That's what I hope Luchia becomes. Yeah, that sounds like Jess's party, baby. That's right.

Rob, good morning to you. How you doing, guys? Yeah, pretty good. What do you regret introducing your kid to? Well, I used to love a Kranski by myself. It was really nice until my two-year-old daughter decided, Daddy, I want some. Yeah. Now I've got to buy four Kranskis, and I might get two of them.

Oh, snapping them away. So she munches pretty much quite a bit of it. Quite a bit of it. Halapino cheese, top of I. What are you getting? Oh, no, no, just a normal Kranski is in the cheese kranski. You have cheese cransky. Halapino.

Don't ruin your Mark Kransky with your spice. This is Jess and Rowan. The world's sexist sport has been determined, Jess, in a new study by Gies's boxing. I feel like we inspired this. Earlier this week, we talked about the sexiest instrument someone can play. We kind of landed on harmonica. Because obviously it's drum, so that's just too obvious. So now someone's done sport.

I love it. Yeah, what, you know, Giza's. analyze from sports people, what sport they find the most attractive, a list of 35 sports they did. So I want to clarify, it's not the sport that attracts the best-looking people. It's what we as a population have deemed, oh, you play that sport, that's hot. Is that correct? Well, it's searching the internet that used data from areas like Reddit, search behavior, fan fiction and global viewership to rank them from most to least attractive.

Okay. So what we have perceived. As an attractive sport. Amen. Okay. So, the number one sport they had was basketball. The most attractive sport. You don't think so?

What's more attractive than basketball? Nice. Well, that was third. Well, that was third. What was second? NFL. No. I think it's more to do with the people in it.

This is like a people thing. What do you think? What is the most attractive sport? Now, am I biased because it's obviously dominating media at the moment? But I love a bit of snow sport action. I think snowboarding... But they're covered up.

Oh, that would be the coolest. No, but that's what I'm saying. Okay, now we've got to work out what we're talking about, Role. That's what I'm saying. That would be coolest for sure. Oh, that's sick. You make a fair point because I look at snowboarders, being a skier, no disrespect to my fellow skiers.

I feel like we're dweeby. And the snowy. No boarders are sexy, but am I blurring sexiness and coolness? What is the sexiest sport? Well, they're saying the biggest turnoff is people who play paddle. What's paddle? Like pickleball. Kind of.

Ah. Different ball, though. Bad, Minton. No, like it's in a glass box. Ah, like squash. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, it's outside.

My mom has picked up pickleball. I'm like, ma, it's not sexy. It's good to get out and about. It absolutely is. I'm not denying the physical activity component. I'm just saying. Yeah, that's true. Ma, you're an attractive woman.

Go play NFL, is what we're saying. That would fit you a little better. What other sports are there, Aussie rules? Yeah, I mean, look. Soccer. And the sucker's not sexy. Brittany on the text line says motorcross. Oh, Brittany.

You know what I don't mind? That's a different vibe of people. Some people would like or some people wouldn't like. You know what? You know what I think sexy BMX? Oh, you think so. When you're up out of that saddle and they're like bouncing down the hill. That's hot.

Really? Did you just do that and I missed it? I think the camera caught it. You beauty. What do you think? Are you on basketball? Yeah, definitely. You're still thinking of Lola Bunny from Space Jet.

Oh, man. It's a travesty how they changed there for the new one. Get a lot of AFL player vibes when I tell you hear about the women swoon and they go, oh. They go these AFL boys, especially when I was living in the big city, Sydney. When the swans would walk around, these girls would swoon. Sworn over to them in. fact, because the NRL boys, big boys, big dudes, they're not for everyone, but these long athletic AFL players. I mean, you're from Victoria. I am. I was surrounded by him. Godlike boys.

Someone has said barefoot water skiing. That's sexy. That's a heck. That's hard. Oh. Get used to skis, bro. Why are you use your heels? Someone said breakdancing, love me a good bee boy. Breakdance is not bad. Someone has also had a goal at me for saying soccer is boring. There are some sexy men in soccer. I appreciate that, Ebony. But, the sport itself. Do.

And my brother-in-law, superstar soccer player, so I am getting the family off-side here. Well, the ick is a paddle, then it goes triathlon. Third is wild swimming. What's wild swimming? Is that like swimming? I'm going to need a YouTube on why. Is that like synchronised swimming but not synchronised? I don't know.

Just out and about in the surf, I don't know. And then fourth is high rock. As performative as high rox is. I was like, I see. I see. I see. We've absolutely, we have stuffed this up a beauty. The sexiest sport.

What is it? Surfing. The way you can command the ocean, come on. Well, the ocean commands, commands you. That's what I'm saying. When you watch the Lane Beachleys and the Mick Fannings and they're right. Are you joking? Mick Fanning did punch that shark one.

Bro, that's hot. This is Jess and Rowan. Jess and Rowan's 10K alpha bucks on hit. Yes. playing the last of our Valentine's Day. This is a Valentine's Day tomorrow if you need to get a prize. Chloe played at seven and the great John is looking to do better than two like she did. Hello, John.

Good, how are you? John, fantastic. You and Chloe engaged two children. She said you'd like to maybe upgrade the family car. Is that what you want to do with 10,000 Buccaroos? Oh, yeah, it would be a good idea. But I think I'd probably hunt down some Zoe Larson tickets for her. Okay.

That's very kind. Hard tickets to get at the moment, I know. Yeah, well, she's been loving her since her YouTube days back in the back. Oh my gosh, she's an OG fan. Not now because rush life has come back trending. Okay. Good one, good one.

Well, that's a great answer just in time for Valentine's Day. Even if he doesn't win, you've got the brownie points in my book. John, the letter you are going to work with is F.

I'll give him that. Jeez, you did very well. That was really good. I've got ticks all over the place. I've got a lot of ticks here. Couple a little problem. Oh. No, no.

Well, I did, you said footballer for occupation. And then sport football. Is that okay? That's two different things, though. All right, tick, tick. You can't say the same answer. Sir, twice. It was two different things.

And you didn't get copy. Is that nine? That was nine. Oh, you're joking. Oh, my God. Another nine. No, no, no. Yeah, yeah.

We don't have to get into it. Okay. Well done, John. Nice. Well done, John. If you had said, fair as Bueller's day off, or Freaky Friday. Would have got 10 grand, bro.

Well done. Another nine. That which, the momentum is here. Maybe Monday. He's getting close. Back to regular programming. Yeah, next week. Our single friends can play. Telling you go 1310.

That's when you play next week on Monday. We are back. This is Olivia Dean. Jess and Rowan. Morning. This is Jess and Rowan. I'm conflicted. Sure.

Up until this point, I have been staunch in my position against AI. I don't like how it's infiltrated modern life. I don't like how it's infiltrated almost every aspect of day-to-day living. Something's all right. No. My issue is I've said no to chat GPT and people using it to like write their essays, write their ad campaigns, getting it to make cool things. I feel like it's going to take all their jobs.

So I'm like, well, if I'm saying no to that, I have to say no to it all. You can't be half, you can't get half pregnant, as my husband likes to say. I don't know. However, a very dear service in my life has integrated AI. And I'm not hating it. What is it? My hairdresser. I go the other day to get my blowwave.

Too posh to wash, as they say. Too posh to wash. And my darling hairdresser goes, we're trialing a new receptionist. And I'm assuming he means, you know, some young apprentice getting their foot in the door. No, no, no, no. And I said, oh, great, how's it working out? He goes, good. Her name's.

Ivy. You got a name her, yeah. She's AI. Oh, you didn't like that? I like that. Okay. I said, I don't know how I feel about that. He goes, we'll just give it a go.

I'd love your feedback. It's in the beta test, you know? Yeah. Because she's got to work out the business, how best to service our customers. That's be good. Yep. So I was like, oh, I'm going to put Ivy through her paces. I called the salon the next day.

I want to change the time of my appointment. Oh, yeah. Ivy was able to change the time of my appointment. Nowed it. And then I realized when I was there, get my blow wave, the ringing phone wasn't happening because it goes straight to Ivy. So as the salon experience, I'm not, my peace and quiet is not being affected by a ringing phone. It's a popular salon. It always is ringing. I then try and trip her up. I'm going to DM them.

I'm going to usurp Ivy. She's all over the social. Oh, that's smart. So she DMs me back. Hey, Jess, how can I help you with Ivy here? This is Ivy. Wow. Okay. I have been one of those people who's like you don't have to thank AI. You know, people go, I always thank Siri or I thank GPT. I then started going, thanks Ivy, you've been delightful. And you forget. My doctor is doing AI notes. So it's listening.

So it's listening to everything that I'm saying that he's saying. And at the end of it, you go stop and it lists everything we spoke about as in like it goes, and like medical stuff. No, no, it goes like say like we were talking about sleep. It might go, oh, this is them talking about sleeping. It'll go sleep. and then it'll start noting the sleep. It'll go, it gives you headlines.

Yes, noting maybe gut health. It'll go gut health. And then it'll say all the things that I said and what Peter said for it. Do you usually leave your doctor at home and go, I can't remember one thing they said. So this one. And I don't think he remembered either. But then we look at the notes. I was like, oh, that's right.

I did that. And he went, oh, anything more for this? Because we've forgotten to talk about it. We both have forgotten to talk about it. The AI remembered. Your Ivy. Nothing to report here. And I went, oh, actually, you know what?

On this, maybe this. And it starts updating. My only issue with Ivy is when we were talking on the phone and she wanted to clarify the appointment, like, who are you? She said, what's your name? I said, Jess. She goes, yes. I said, no, Jess. She's like, yes.

I'm like, Ivy, Jay, for Juliet, Eve. But is your last one thing last name? Can you imagine Ivy trying to handle Farchioni? I just stuck with Jess. Absolutely not. We're involved. Look, world's evolving. We just got to get up board.

He is evolving. And Ivy. Very pleasant tone of voice. Sensioner, I view. Anyway, she's converting. This is Jess and Rowan. By the lovely, fantastic, gorgeous, good looking. Looks like he's done a workout this morning.

Morgan Evans, who is in the studio. I would actually, by the way, Morgan would normally say that if you weren't in here. Oh, he's been saying it all morning. I've been saying it all morning. I'm actually a bit hot nervous that you're in here. I went straight to the coffee shop and came here this morning. That's right. He's at the pump up you had.

Yeah, full caffeine pump up. Well, welcome. Good to see you. Thank you. It's good to be back. It's going to be here. Absolutely. Obviously, on the Eve Valentine's Day, but no one's talking about the love in the air tomorrow.

It's all about howling country here in Newcastle. We're putting on for the second year, big country music festival. You are one of the headliners. Must be nice playing to a home crowd. You're feeling the love already? Oh, yeah. I mean, we drove past the site last night. It's huge down there.

We were just talking up there about how it kind of looks like it's just always been there. It's a perfect site for a big stage, good people. It's a good spot for it, hey. Yeah. You know what I love? I love seeing Newie loving country music. Hell yeah. It's so good.

I feel like I left almost 11 years ago. Yeah. And I felt like this was like a rock and roll. We've got a couple of different... You know? You know? Yeah. And now I feel like the rock and country fan bases have, like, grown into one.

100%. Well, I've never known anything to do with country. And then I was at the last hell. And now I'm obsessed with Tyler Chilas. Like, I know all I'm doing like Tyler Chilis radio. I'm into it, man. Yeah. It's like a discovery.

every process for you. I love that. And Rowan, obviously, you being a DJ in a little side hustle, moonlighten, are you doing your little country music things in the DJ set? Well, there's a big market now for country songs. And people are doing like EDM remixes of dance songs. You know, so like it gets the weddings up and about, mate, in the Hunter Valley. Love it. Oh, don't they love it.

Absolutely. Now, you have been, I hope I'm not revealing something. Uh-oh. You've been on home soil for a little while now. It's not like you've just blown in for howl it. He spent the last two months lying to the people, Jess. Now you've ruined it. I was like, hang on.

I should have checked. Is that some secret? There's no secrets. There's no secrets. There's no secrets. But just to come back, you know, get back to your route sort of thing. Because obviously you're beloved overseas. But here you must feel a different connection to writing music, seeing friends and family

and just reconnecting with that side of yourself. Totally. I've been doing all that since Christmas too. Right. I managed to, I guess, because this was so early in the year, it was like the perfect excuse to be like, well, I'd be silly to fly all the back. Yeah, exactly. It's expensive.

Yeah. Holiday period. So, yeah, we've had a great time doing all those things. say, we've been making some music and catching out with mates and family and getting to play this show at the end is kind of like the cherry on top. Yeah, how different are your Aussie mates to your new sort of American mates? Now you've obviously so huge. Are your Aussie mates the ones keeping your feet on the ground sort of thing? Like you're still Morgan from high school? Yes, there's definitely a like no time has passed kind of feeling.

Aussie mates will keep you down, mate. Yeah, we're always a little bit older now. We're still still doing, talking about the same old things, you know. Did you have a nickname back in high school that's still stuck that maybe your American mates don't know well? Not really. I was always just mogs. Or morgo. You know, handsome. Yeah.

I get it, Rowett. This is a new one. Liar. But you do have some new music that is an ode to your beautiful home, our beautiful home, Steeltown. Title track from the upcoming album also called Stilltown? Yes. It's the title track to the album.

And it's a, it means a lot to me this. This record just sort of follows the story of the last few years of my life. And there's a lot of like pretty wild stuff that went on back then. And I came home here. And like you say, I was just hanging out with old mates and family

and it was just like the most epic and like life-saving grounding at that time. And I went back to Nashville after that. I was like, how do I write a song about Nui that does this place justice? And it came out today. It literally came out over night. Yeah.

And so I'm very excited about this. We'll be playing for the first time tomorrow at Hale and I would see that. Oh, that's going to be a special moment, man. Yeah, it really will be. I'm really looking forward to it. Valentine's Day, special still town style. To be honest, I got goosebumps. Homecoming.

The opening line, you reference the Cambridge Hotel valet to the Canberrave. Obviously, you'll know it if you know it, but, you know, one of, if not the greatest live music venue in the state. Yeah. And referencing that's where you played your first gig. to three people. It was a Wednesday night at about 11th. Yeah, baby.

That works. 15 years old and my dad took me and there was like my dad and then my drummer's dad and then like this lady playing the pokey's. Yeah. Wondering why it was so noisy. Who's that bloke? Shut up. Hang on a minute.

He's not bad. I love that idea that that woman's gone, I think that that was that kid who played at the game. Album is out March 20. March 20, the whole album, yeah. Congratulations. It's so exciting. Congrats on the new music.

We're so happy to see. see you here, but Rowan. We should be playing a bit of a game right now. What do you think, Tholdau? Well, I would like to. It would be remiss of us. Yeah. To have a muso of Morgan's calibre,

Morgos, calibre in studio and not play the game we play. Of course. Centred around music. Morgan, you're familiar with the concept of word yokey, my friend. We tried to get you across it just before. I've been run through off air. My brain is still operating at 20% this morning, but I'm here. I'm ready.

I'm going to give it 100%. I've only played it twice. I've played it for six years. So Morgan, Sweet Babs is in studio. Babs is our quiz master. She is going to give us a word, a normal. Simple English word. Rowan, myself, verse you.

We are going to attempt to sing a song that has that word as a part of its lyrics. I don't think I have to tell you. You get points for gusto, all right? No half-assing it. Put your back into it, all right? Oh, the performance is part. Yeah, absolutely.

Do you want a practice run? Just get into it. Go on. Bye, fire. Sorry, Morgan. You're from here. We're doing this. Give us one.

All right. Your first word is day. Get a little day. Jess gets back. I feel like that was set up for Jess. Also, she's, sorry Morgan. She's sitting next to the street. She does this.

She checks. Next question. Just by the speed of sound. You get it quicker. Also, there's no buzzer. I just learn. You just start singing. There's no buzzer.

Oh, leaving out the most important part. Should have clarified that. Next word. Point to Jess. Next word is now. Now. Now? Now.

Now. Now. No, I don't know. Give it to me right now, but no, that's round. Morgan, do any of your songs have now in them? God, this is harder than it sounds. Do you want a hint? I bet there's people driving to work right now.

Screaming. New words. New words. I had Don't Start Now by... But also don't stop me now. Of course. Yep. All right.

Next word is rain. Rain on me. That's not enough. What is it then? Rain on me. That's the same, bro. You got any songs about summer. I think the rain is coming.

It's down in Africa. That one. Next word. I don't even know these songs. Africa by Toto. Are you joking? Making stuff. All right.

Well, she's probably going to win. Last word. Is that rains? Oh. Is it? It's too late. Give it to her. What's the next word?

The next word is baby. Baby, girl. What you're... Hit me, baby. One more time. Sing it. You can't just say it. No, I win.

You don't. That's wrong. What's your name? Guys, we're embarrassing. He's going to leave. He's going to leave anyway, mate. Who cares? All right, one more, one more.

One more. Morgan, hey, stop, stop, stop, stop, actually. Your mind work. Yeah, sorry, okay, let's go. Let's go. Let's go. I'll stand up too. Last one.

All right. This is for you, Morgan. Come on. The last word is queen. You are the dancing queen. Young and free, only 17. Morgan, now's pathetic. Although, too, you sound really good, actually.

Oh, don't. You don't have to do that. You've got that, like, Adam Sandlery thing where you're like kind of joking, but you're doing You know? Oh my God, that's the backhanded compliment. He's kind of joking. I had a whole thing, a whole thing, dude, about getting back out of it. They were like, hey man, you're like, kind of suck at it, but it's really funny.

It's to suck you, bro. Not you. You have been called Jack Black and Adam Sandler this week. You're killing it, right? Thank you, too with a great. Morgan Evans, released the title track for upcoming sophomore album. Steeltown, Steel Town is out today. The song, the album March 20.

Morgan, bloody love you. Good luck to see it, John. Hey, thanks so much. See it, Howland. See you there, Badi. This is Jess and Rowan. Let's recap the week with The Diary. Well, what a week it's been with Jess and Rowan?

The team have various meetings after Tuesday's show, which meant Jess was left alone in the office after 10am. And didn't she have something to say about it? Yesterday after the show, you packed up your gear and said, I've got a chuff off, I've got a gig. Shy guy gets pulled away from his desk. Just says, Tudaloo, left the station. About an hour goes by, Babs gets up,

car keys in hand and goes, See you, Jess. I went, what do you do? And she goes, I'm done. And there's Jess Farch all on her own. The last standing member of the team, so lonely, realized the only one still working. What an interesting turn of events.

Been here the longest and also the hardest working. I just wanted some flowers this morning. Some acknowledgement from the team. When I got back, though, midday. Did you come back? Where were you? Rowan played a gig and spoke highly about the saxophonist. Who?

The guy that plays the saxophone. Oh. That got us thinking, what's the hottest instrument? It's crazy. Don't you reckon you could be, I don't know, a solid six. That's nothing to sneeze at. You start honking on a saxophone. Hey, you are an immediate 12.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Oh, absolutely. What's the hottest instrument? You start dating someone and they say, well, it's a drummer, obviously. It's got to be. It's definitely not the trombone. Now, it's not the trombone.

If you're playing the flute, not really, but they're impressive. You know what? I don't hate the flute. I could take or leave the clarinet. He's an underdog for the hottest instrument. And you'll go, interesting, the harmonica. Tell me someone sexy who doesn't play the harmonica. They sit there, they sit there with their like half-smoked cigarette, leather jacket.

And it's all heartache. And you go, I just want to climb that man with a tree. Those? Play that. Sex. Get it to turn. Rowan Cobb's a backhand a compliment from one of his mate. They had some feedback on the new show. He said to me, it's very refreshing hearing you on the radio over morning.

Even those little moments where you have those mishaps and the way you bring it back is a serious skill. It gives a real feeling and it's great, big ups. Okay, stop. Let's just, there's more of the message. Let's drill down. Let's drill down. Even when you have those mishaps.

Sorry, what mishaps are you talking about? Could just say it was great. Actually, let's back it up. Refreshing. What is that supposed to me? Let's not dive too much into it, I guess. That's too far. I was like, there's no mishaps.

Anyway, he writes here, kind of reminds me of when Shane Gillis says a joke that's not that funny, but leans into it being stupid, and then it's funny. So he's trying to be funny, but it's not funny, but him making fun of how it's not funny is funny. So what do we doing, Jake? You enjoy it or not, brother? Is it refreshing or not, brother?

Do you enjoy the show? Hang on, so is he saying, my job and you think it's funny. We gave you what's in and what's out when it comes to Home Rennoes in 2026. Jess is renovating her place and shocked us when she started telling us all about her new kitchen taps. Well, my tapware importer. You have a tapware importer?

So you're getting imports to look outdated. I'll get in the tap, the sink, the sink, and the pot filler. How much is the pop filler? Wait, wait, wait, pot filler tap and what's the other thing? And the farmhouse sink. How much all three? From Italy. How much four three?

All from Italy? How much four three? Go to give me all three. No, no, give me all three. No, no, give me all three. You don't have to, you can actually, itemize it if you like, but just give me the rounder Round total, all three. Show the room.

Don't say it. I didn't even know you could get them that expensive. But sorry, they're giving me 30% off. Off that price. If it's Fon Kong. Yeah, Spongom. Those must be some fancy ass tabs because just doubled down later in the show about them after Nat was very close to taking out the $10,000 in Alfa bucks.

I'd actually love to go head to head with Nat. She's the only person I think could actually give me a run for my money. Maybe we could set that up at some point. That could be a bit of fun. That's a great. I'm not paying. her 10 grand for my own money. Wow.

There needs to be something. She can come use my fancy new tap at the Renault. Oh my God. Say a value. You get it. The water out of that taff will be pristine. Oh, come from the glaciers.

Absolutely. I've got a pipe to wreck the Switzerland. Don't ask you how they've worked it out. Straight from the Mount Franklin factory. Straight from the Swiss Alps, babe. And before we go, famously, we know Jess is a big fan of a toe. But is Rowan?

How do you feel about sucking toes? Oh, it depends on the toe. Well, in your romantic relationship, I mean. I'm not asking you to suck mine. A couple of toes here and there. A couple of toes here and there. But some people don't like the toes. For six years, I worked with someone who thought I was foul.

So it's nice to have, again, another ally. Hey, I won't yuck it. I'll do whatever. Amen. If it works, it works. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I'm not saying it's for everyone. No.

Try it before you knock it. That's what I'm saying. You've got to give something to go, don't you? I got to give a few things. Everybody suck. See you next week, Rice Cookers. Cheerio. No.

This is Jess and Rowan. Got in front of bottom now we're here. Jess and Rowan's Cooker of the Week. Yes, this is the best either phone call we've had text on the text line. 048-8-1069 or we are doing DMs and comments as well on at Jess and Rowan on Instagram. But Rowan put a caveat, which I think is very fair. Oh, yeah, yeah. Actually got to be following.

Yeah, we have to. What is it? No, no, you've got to be following. I'm sorry, you have to be following. Yeah. Don't send us a funny bit of gear and then expect to get free stuff. Absolutely. If you're not supporting the gang.

Now, this one, not only was it funny, Rowan. This DM actually led to extra content. Oh, yeah, this one was good one. And if you make our job's easier. Yeah, we'll give you stuff. By you bringing us to the gear so we don't have to sit there. We'll give you stuff. Rubbing two sticks together trying to come up with something to talk about.

Definitely. Hell, you're winning something in my book. You will give you something for sure. And the DM earlier this week came from Tashy. Tashy DM'd in response to a comment made on air by Rowan. You called yourself, I'm putting it out there very clearly, you called yourself Fatty Bumba. In relation to you describing me and the car driving off with the fat food,

Oh, Fatibumba. Get my name out, your dirty mouth. You called yourself Fatty Bumba. And Tash said, DMed us said, I am crying. I nearly crashed the car. I had to pull over. I have not heard the phrase

Fatty Bumba in decades. We need to bring it back. What else should we be bringing back? So then we did content on it. And hey, you make our lives easier. We will reward you. With a fire and all suspended health lab, you can elevate your everyday rituals

with premium plant-based and gluten-free snacks from Health Lab. Well done to you, darling. I would like to give an honorary mention to Cara who commented on the bean dish video and she said, Rowan, stop calling Jess Fart Girl. She's obviously the Bean. Fart Girl's he's funny, though.

And I wanted to give Kara the prize, but Rowan said, Tasha's Bert-O. Yep. Sorry. So honorary mention. Fart girl. Fun show. Good, good week. Great week. You can catch up on anything you missed on the listener app.

That's where our podcast lives. Amen. Or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back again Monday. Bye-bye. Hi. See Ed tonight. Wish me luck.

Oh my God. Good luck at Ed Shearing. And then we'll both be at Howland Country. Of course, tickets are still available. Newcastle's biggest country music fest. People are coming from right across the state. We will be there if you see us. We'd love to say hello.

We'll rock out to Morgan Evans. What a delight he is. Oh my God, we'll rock out to him. Hope we'll see you all there and we'll see you again Monday. Bye-bye. That was the Jess and Rowan podcast. The El Maco is back at Maccas. Try the new range today.
