The mega Brecky McRap has arrived at Maccas.
Here we go.
Welcome to the Jess and Rowan podcast.
Ah yes, welcome to the podcast, everybody.
Hello, how you doing?
I must say, Jess, it's the, what, my fourth show.
Yeah.
I don't feel as tired at the end of this show.
I'm getting my fitness back.
That's quick.
Yeah.
You know when people start a fitness journey?
It takes months.
It's taking me 20 years still.
Okay, well, to be fair, you have been doing this craft.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But not at this time slot.
Yep.
That's true.
And even when you were with KJ, obviously, the most famous breakfast duo in the country.
Oh, yeah.
It's not like you are behind the mic.
No.
What was your role with it?
I had to, so Kyle still panels and everything, and he does everything.
He does everything.
So he's a wizard.
He's really good at it.
But there was so much happening on that show.
I had to sometimes jump behind him and he would like.
So were you, I wanted to ask about this.
I was his octopus hands.
So he has two arms and hands.
But if you identified, third hand will come in handy.
Would you literally come around him over the top?
Yeah, yeah.
Or I'd mostly get phones.
Now, pardon me.
Or he would throw things at me because he had to get them out of the way and I had to.
And mostly, this is a fact, I was the blame if he did something wrong.
What was your name on that show, Robin?
The Ruiner.
Because I would ruin his show.
He would go.
Beautiful volley, by the way.
Rouriner!
He would scream at me.
I have to find it, but I have audio.
There'd be so many audio.
And I had never panelled a show.
And the boss at the time was out because when we were working together in Melbourne,
that's why I went left with Sydney so quick.
He was like, I need a panellist for the show.
You can do it, roll.
And I said, I've never really panelled a show.
He said, you'll figure it out.
So you want to be to panel for Kyle Sandlands?
For the biggest show in the country.
In Australian radio history, it was like, you'll figure it out.
Arguably in the world.
You can stand this close to 6 foot four Kyle Sandlands who likes screaming at people.
He is an intimidating fella.
He is.
Particularly for a little radio nerd.
Totally.
And your instruction, your job description is reach over.
him and touch his buttons.
And I was also not there.
And the desk.
And the desk.
But he was also really nice to me off air.
Always.
It was always really lovely.
He's a showman at the end of the day.
Totally.
I can't fathom, you're told,
Kyle has been doing this for triple the amount of time you've been alive.
And then he used to come over the top and press that button.
You spend six months off in LA.
And we do the show from LA.
So they'd be like, now you have to panel like Kyle.
I didn't send you to LA to do it.
They were like, you need a panel like Carl.
So Carl would be down the line being like, wrong, what's this?
Too loud.
Ruiner.
So he would like, he'd be like, ruining my show.
Rowan the ruiner.
But I learned how to panel really quickly.
Oh, you would.
But it wasn't, no idea is good.
Talk about baptism by fire.
Oh, it was baptism by napalm.
It was like, it was unbelievable.
Well, that's carase.
But they were always really nice.
Jackie and Kyle were nice to me.
Still nice.
So what we're saying is, you haven't been in this environment.
And that was a very different environment regardless.
So your fitness, four days in, I love to hear it.
I'm up and about, baby.
Do you know what is fun?
We'll just circle back.
Kyle, going to be on the show soon.
Next week.
He is a judge on Oz Idol.
Now, I want you to be very honest.
So you're going to remember you?
Yeah.
Because they go through big teams.
Definitely.
He will.
How long ago was that?
Maybe when we talked to him, he'll act like he doesn't know.
2019?
No.
Wait, when was, when we were together.
What am I thinking?
I'm doing my timeline.
We were together in 2016.
So you popped off to Sydney.
2017.
Almost 10 years ago.
Almost 10.
You're going to remember you?
He's still firing.
Yeah.
Because he,
I reckon,
because there's a while there where he was,
that was still getting colds like five,
six years later.
Whatever happened to the Runa?
Really?
And I'm still friends with intern Pete and everyone.
Because their team.
Ask him about the Runa.
Ask him about the Runa.
He'd be like,
one time he said to me,
well,
one time he said to a listener who asked
what happened to the Runa.
He's like,
wow.
The Runa's like the three-legged dog.
Like, you know,
you have it.
Like, he's lovely.
He's really nice.
It gets around, but like, you should really shoot it in the head, but you don't have the ball.
So you just, but it's nice.
So you just keep it around.
And then eventually we sent it to the farm.
He was inferring you'd been sent to the farm.
Yes.
He now says that about Pete, I think.
Funnily enough, the boss we have now called and said, you want to come over here?
And I said, amen, get me out of here.
Get me out of here.
New farm.
New farm.
New farm.
At the same conversation.
I was at the same station.
New farm, new monkeys.
That's a hell of a farm.
Well.
that's not on the show today.
As we said,
Kyle will be on the show.
Shagai Dips on the show.
First one for the year.
It was fabulous.
We're dipping lollies.
By the way,
the hypnosis of the sausage roll.
Yeah.
We've got all about that.
That was funny.
That was really in the depths of the show.
You'll hear that first up.
Oh, we did a threesome.
Have fun.
Have fun.
Welcome.
Wake up for Chets are rolling.
Jess.
In 2026, something new for breakfast.
You know, Jess.
Truthies.
I'll put the pets.
I trust that a fart.
You'll get to.
to know Rowan.
Hot, horny, happy.
Yay!
It's going to be good,
it's going to be all right.
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.
Well, good morning, everybody, to Jess and Rowan.
Good morning.
And it is a good morning, isn't it, Rowe?
I think, yes.
Why are you looking like that?
What's happened?
Just feeling good.
Look, my sleep schedule is getting better.
Oh, yes.
I work up this morning at quarter past three.
I thought, that's way too early.
Sorry, you set the alarm or the body clock?
Body clock went, oh, you're getting up early, mate.
We got you.
I said, no, no, no, no, brother.
Too early, sweetheart.
It's not quite yet.
That is an hour earlier than I need to.
So tell me, how did you utilise that hour?
Journaling, meditation.
Did you hit the gym?
Did you meal prep?
What did you do?
My head went straight back into the pillow.
Okay.
And then I woke up at 4.30.
Okay.
I had a shower.
Were you able to go back to sleep?
My husband would be so jealous.
Once he wakes up, he is up.
I can knock down.
I can knock down.
I have a problem where I mostly get up early-ish anyway.
But before the show, I would do like a five-thirty-six.
You're a seize-the-ye kind of guy.
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
But if I feel like to myself that I would like another little minute, I'm in bed till 11.
That's a slippery slow.
My body goes, oh, yep, cool, no worries, bro.
We got you.
Oh, you're turning back off, are you?
No worries.
Yeah, I had a nap yesterday.
I had a nap yesterday.
I felt a million bucks up the nap.
Hour and a half.
Let me learn this about you.
90 minute nap, you say.
Did you set an alarm or did your body go, that's enough, up you get.
Yeah, body said that's enough, up you get.
Wow.
See, that was my issue back in the day.
Couldn't.
Where I had no partner, had no friends.
I was napping for four hours of an afternoon.
Nearly no friends is just quite a time and nap.
I get it.
I get it.
Well, breakfast radio and nothing else to occupy my time.
I went, I'm going to put myself to bed at 12.
Get up at four.
Never been a nap guy.
Ridiculous.
Never been a nap guy.
But I feel like I could get into the naps.
Mm-hmm.
If I can do a 90-minute nap.
There's a lot of science around the nap, Row,
and you're going to have to start listening to some podcasts,
reading some books.
Feel free to DM us as well with any little sleep.
Well, didn't you find out something about a good friend of ours,
mutual friend, studied sleep hygiene?
I couldn't believe it.
Good morning to Lexi.
That is someone you need to be asking.
I've heard such variances, nap psychology,
20 minutes.
Yeah, I think she said 20 minutes.
She said 20.
I think she might have said 20 minutes.
That's the point of a 20.
Like, I'm not going to, that's going to make me feel worse.
I couldn't agree more.
Maybe, hey, I didn't study it.
You didn't study it.
Maybe I, you know.
She did.
She did.
This is the classic thing.
Let's listen to the experts.
Yeah, well, Lexi.
Yeah.
She's the expert.
She's the expert.
Gajal, how I am.
Well, I'm glad.
I'm feeling good.
I'm glad you're feeling good.
Shy guy.
Yep.
How are you feeling?
No, no, no, no.
I don't just say yep.
What do you mean yep?
Because Jess said shy guy.
Rowan, I know you've known him.
You've actually known him longer than I've known him.
I just feels a bit disrespectful that he just says yep to you.
Rowan.
Like he's about to, maybe he's a bit tricky because he feels like you're going to ask.
For two years.
For two years.
Doing a task.
For two years, we have tried to teach shy guy the art of the yes and.
Oh, the yes.
The classic improvisation.
I'm going to send you Amy Poller's master class.
I pay $250 for that.
and I've only watched Amy Polars Mastercliffe.
That is like everyone.
That is like everyone.
I got so excited.
I gifted that app to my brother, my husband and my dad for Christmas.
I went bankrupt.
None of them have watched anything.
And to be fair, I've only watched Amy Pollers.
But all about improv, SNL alumni.
Yes and, sweetheart.
Not just yes.
I said yes.
Yeah, but you had a wall up.
No, you said, yep.
Rowan heard the wall.
Yep.
I've got a witness.
Oh, she's talking to me again.
All I wanted to know was, are you feeling good?
I'm feeling great.
Good.
When he's mid-email, even at 604 in the morning.
You said an email, I was right now.
I was editing audio.
I wasn't able to listen.
Oh.
Priorities.
Thank you.
Someone who's always got her finger on the pulse.
Oh, finger on something.
Virgin Mary, good morning.
Good morning.
How you feel?
I'm feeling good.
Fantastic.
There are other adjectives, guys.
How is that any different?
What do you meet?
She said three more words.
New its. Yep.
It's attitude, wouldn't you say, Rowan?
It's definitely attitude.
It's attitude.
Okay.
It's the vibe and the energy you're bringing into this sacred space.
Which, by extension, goes into the rice cooker space.
Yeah.
Just maybe we need to leave them alone.
It is a big day.
We're bringing dips back.
Well, I mean, I've never done Shy Guy Dips, but Shy Guy Dips is coming today.
It's coming back.
You make a good point.
He's nervous.
Nervous.
This is one of the hallmarks of this program.
Okay, yeah.
Of this time slot, I should say, because we are a new program.
Yes.
Are you nervous?
Sure.
It capitulated yesterday because we had gremlin.
It really did. I was really built up yesterday and then, yeah.
Oh, no, do we need to pump you back up again?
We'll be pumped.
We'll be fine.
Okay, let's go.
Build him up, pump him up.
What all happening?
You're going to play the shiphorn for us today?
I could do the shiphorn.
We could do it right now.
As an example.
It's not, don't call now.
When you hear that, any time before 9 a.m.,
you could win a cruise.
Accliz.
A crez.
seven to nine nights.
You got your pick.
Do you want to go shortly?
Absolutely.
Because you on the standby list when you call up and you hear it, the horn.
Right now there's only one person and I feel like we've been talking about it for a week.
There's only one person.
Peter, good morning.
It's only one person on the standby list.
The pool is getting smaller.
He's just like, let's go.
No one's called.
I think I'm going to Numea.
Here we go, baby.
Big show coming up.
Absolutely.
But up next, talking sausage rolls.
Talking the sauce rolls, guys.
We're talking addiction, really.
Two sausage rolls.
Maybe I have that, to be fair.
Great.
More fat things.
I didn't say anything.
New for breakfast at 2026.
Jess and Rowan.
This is Jess and Rowan.
A picky five-year-old has been hooked on sausage rolls.
He breaks the habit after hypnosis.
Okay.
My first question is why are you hypnotising a five-year-olds?
Let him enjoy a sauce.
May I bring the rice cookers in behind the scenes?
Shy guy sent this story around last night.
He says there's a few things.
What do you like?
What don't you?
Sausage rolls.
All I saw was sausage roll addiction.
Me too.
And I stopped reading.
I did not know it was a five-year-old.
I did not click the link, shy-old.
I didn't click the link either.
Your headline was enough.
You hooked me and you should work at the Daily Mail.
Okay.
You're a hell of a tease.
Five-year-old.
But I just wanted to say he's now enjoying new foods thanks to the-
Chicken nuggets.
Nuggets.
They've opened up his palate.
Thanks to hypnosis.
Yeah.
I don't know if I like it.
Sweet Grayson would actually.
really cry if Mum Jennifer would try and give him anything other than sausage rolls,
crisps, garlic bread.
Okay.
He's British.
Yeah, okay.
You do see a lot of things online.
Is that Greg's?
I think Greg's.
It's sausage rolls.
I've never had a Greg sausage roll, but even I know just from social media, the huge
popularity of something called a Greg's sausage roll.
Look, it's a bit of funny like sausage rolls, but it got to the point where birthday parties,
family dinners were ruined because Sweet Grayson could only eat.
sauce rolls from Gregg's.
I spent six months in London.
They're big for the Sunday roast.
Really?
Grayson, not having the Sunday roast with the family.
No mashed potato.
Sunday. Sunday sausage roll.
Well, Monday to Sunday.
Hundreds of pounds.
Pounds. Pounds.
A month.
On sausage rolls.
Frozen Greg sausage rolls.
Oh my God.
It was Greg's.
Oh my God.
It was definitely Greg.
But one two-hour session cracked him.
To be fair, it took the hypnotist two hours to crack a fight.
Where do you stand on hypnosis?
this is where we need to go.
Maybe we need to go to hypnosis.
I mean, look, if they can do it in two hours, what are the parents saying?
Sometimes just say no.
Now.
It's as simple as that, isn't it?
I haven't got kids.
I want to make it very clear.
Just say no to kids.
We don't judge other people's parenting.
No, of course not.
We are all just doing what we need to to survive.
And if what you need to do survive is give your kid to sausage roll every day.
Just say yes.
You do you.
But I think I have to back you in.
Just say no.
Just say no if a kiddies about your little sausage drops.
I made the mistake the other day.
Oh, let's go.
Of giving Lucia a chocolate macadamia shortbread biscuit.
Nummy.
I know.
But then you know what happened.
She had just been such a good girl.
We'd have a great afternoon.
I said, you want a chocky bicky?
Hell, yeah.
I think she'd ever had a chucky bicky before.
See, I'm a harsh parent.
Two years.
She's never had a chocky bickie.
You know what I had to deal with for the next two hours?
What's that?
Another chocky bicky, bicky.
Another chocky bicky.
And screaming.
Another chocky bicky, another chocky bicky.
He loves chocolate, mate.
So I get it.
Grayson's parents.
Grace's mom's Jennifer.
Another sausage roll, another sausage roll.
She's at her wits end.
I've got to call in a hypnotist.
There's a quote here that says when he was in the nursery.
Is this from Jennifer?
Yeah.
When he was in nursery, the staff said they'd never seen a child so scared of eating
these lunch.
See, now we've got a bigger issue.
There's a bigger issue.
He's scared of the lunch.
Broccoli actually looks terrifying.
Been saying it every time the hospitals need a...
Wait, nursery is that hospital?
No, nursery.
I think in England is like maybe daycare, child care.
Child care.
Yeah, yes. Nursery here would be the baby's room. He had one sausage roll there and had one at home for dinner. He was having two every day at one point. It's like it's medicine. Guys, let's not prescribe the child sausage roll.
Sausage roll isn't medicine. Sausage roll is a sometimes food. That's a good lesson for the kids. Just like a macadamia bicky. Just like a macadamia bickie.
This is Jess and Rowan. What I wanted to unpack with you this morning, Rowan, is something that literally happened mere hours ago.
Really? Fresh off the presses. It's hot content for you.
Press is great.
Shy guys may be a bit nervous that I've already talked about going to the gym too much this morning and it's 622.
I don't feel like I had.
We're trying to get healthy, fit, aspirational people.
New Year knew me.
This is Strike 2 for you and it's only 6.
It's not even a quarter of the way through the show.
What have I done?
You need to watch your attitude and we're dropping dips, okay?
Wow.
If you know what?
If I didn't want to hear dips so much, you'd be gold already.
No, it wouldn't.
You're giving yourself a little too much power in that sentence.
We need more content.
But no, I appreciate your support.
Yeah, you're on strike too, brother.
That's fine.
This happened this morning.
I'll have three.
I'll go home.
Who's the winner here?
I'll pour some water on the desk because I want to see that?
No, I've done that before.
Been done.
Don't repeat content.
Yesterday, Rowan, where we were having technical issues,
which will never be mentioned again.
Someone messaged, actually multiple people message saying,
did shy guy pour water in the plug holes again?
Yeah.
Because he took us off air last year.
Linda goes, was this you again?
Thanks, Linda.
It wasn't actually, Linda.
No.
That we know of, he has an admitted fault.
This morning, I was at the gym.
Now, there is one other woman who is an early riser.
In fact, earlier than me, Roro.
She must get there at bloody 350 or something.
Early.
So we're navigating a relatively small space together,
but we stay out of each other's way.
We give a friendly good morning.
A little nod.
A little chit-chat.
I've got headphones on.
She's doing her thing on the elliptical.
But sometimes we're crossing paths on similar machinery.
Oh, yeah.
And I went to use, I think this is what it's called, the lat pull down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know the one with the bar above your head?
I like that a lot.
Did the wings.
Gives you some wings.
Gives you the wings, baby.
That's why my back saw this morning, shag I.
But I went to sit down at this machine, Rowan.
Got the leg adjustment to my height.
Now that it.
Looked at where the pin for the weights was plugged in.
Do I need to change it?
It was on a hundred kilo.
Okay.
The pin was.
at the very bottom.
Oh, yeah.
A hundred kilo.
It's a weapon's been in there.
Who the, and I looked at my friend Kate.
And I said, oh my God.
A hundred.
Are you doing a hondo?
She goes, no, I haven't been on that this morning.
Okay.
And she used one of the great phrases.
She goes, yeah, it's like a reverse skid mark, wouldn't you say?
Why?
I said, Kate, I'm going to need you to explain that.
She goes, unlike a skid mark in the toilet, you don't want anyone to know that.
was you.
But at the gym on the weights, you want everyone to know.
Look at what I've left behind.
What did you leave behind?
Well, this person left 100 kilo behind.
But I thought it was her and she was like, no, no, it wasn't me.
She owned up to it.
But she was saying I could have easily gone, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was me.
It's not like I have to prove it because I've now finished that exercise.
Yeah, okay.
I was willing to give her credit.
So next time you're walking around your gym and you see something at a ridiculous weight.
Drop a reverse skid mark.
It's a reverse skin box.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Rowan, I don't want to put any undue stress on our next guest,
who has just sauntered into the studio.
A little stress hotbox.
Yeah.
But he's the first guest.
He is the first guest.
For the Jess and Rowan program, very good friend of mine, soon to be.
One of your best mates too, Rowan, because I can attest.
He is a legend and a half.
We will see.
Comedy, comedy, comedy.
Good morning, first and foremost.
Good morning.
Oh, I feel so honest.
The 2026, right?
Thank you so much for having me.
Because you know who was looking like our first guest was going to be?
Who?
Chicken Victoria, who's dressed up as the Lorax and is now in the middle of a bet to sell a house.
But no, I'm so glad it's you.
I like this more.
I like this more, too.
Don't tell Terry that.
I like this more.
Oh, yeah, true.
Don't tell the Lorax lady.
Two days ago, comedian.
Now, two days ago, for anyone who isn't familiar with your beautiful work,
you are a singer-songwriter.
You've done amazing work.
across socials, across TV, a recording artist.
You're in a kid's music band called The Quokas.
You're a part of an amazing wedding band trio,
but also a ventria called Trace Sol.
You do a lot.
But two days ago, Rowan, I see on comedies socials,
him singing a little original jingle.
An original jingle that he has penned and voiced
for a little brand known as KFC.
The Colonel, I know those guys.
The Colonel.
So this is what I see on comedies Instagram.
You were the first to comment too.
So you were there.
You're day one.
Day one.
Chicken thighs, drunk sticks and wings.
Chicken so good makes me want to sting.
Hands and spices secret recipe.
Nothing tastes better than KFC.
Oh, baby.
Baby.
Sign the check.
Sign the check.
Now, when I read your captioning committee,
you were basically, shamelessly saying,
Hey, KFC, look at me.
Yeah.
You've got to do it.
You've got to do it.
I mean, look, look, yeah. So basically, on TikTok, there's this American, what do you
would call her? Just a creator.
That's it. Yeah.
And she put up this like 15 second video of doing a Dr. Pepper ad saying, hey, this is a
Dr. Pepper ad and this is how it goes. A jingle.
Like she made it up.
Like she just made it up in 10 seconds while she was frying eggs, like something like that.
And it went viral. Just this million views and people just just,
jumped on and everyone was tagging Dr. Pepper and all these businesses from subway to
Hyundai, they were all jumping on like, oh, where's ours? Because it just went crazy.
Well, Rowan actually found this creator.
I've got the audio here.
Dr. Pepper, baby, is good and nice.
That's as simple as it was.
I got her all this attention.
The Super Bowl that actually made it to the Super Bowl commercial.
It's crazy.
That's a pretty payday for that creator.
Romeo.
I have what they've made for this.
Oh, the real producer.
Yeah, let's run the tape.
Dr. Pepper, baby is good and nice to the love.
Dr. Pepper, baby, good and nice.
Dr. Pepper, baby is good and nice.
Oh, my God.
It's like bouncing around in my ears.
I'm not taken away.
I actually like her voice and I actually like the jingle.
Jingles great.
She's literally saying it's good and nice.
It's not exactly breaking the.
mold for creativity.
It's like, it's great.
Yeah. It's very simple.
So I appreciate you've gone, can I have a crack?
Absolutely.
And like, I think a lot of content creators have jumped on this wagon going, oh, I'm going
to get my piece of the pie.
So they've all done these peps, like all these brands.
They're just making up in the shower.
They're just put it on like their Instagrams and TikToks.
And, you know, some of them are getting traction.
And I was like, oh, I think I might have a bit of sluzz of that pie.
And I recorded something stupid while.
I don't know.
I came up with it.
Posted at 7 o'clock Tuesday night,
woke up Wednesday and it went crazy on my TikTok.
Comments from people around the world.
I swear there's like 26 comments every five minutes.
People tagging KFC from Switzerland to Japan.
People commenting like, oh, wow, this is amazing.
I'm thinking like, I literally made this up in like while in the shower,
like getting ready for work.
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
But the big thing is it's wonderful to get the support of the public.
Oh, absolutely.
KFC gotten in touch.
That's what the thing, I tagged KFC.
Like I said, it was a crazy joke.
And I'm like, they're not responding.
And everyone's commenting.
I've gotten hitting the 100th of air views.
And Red Rooster enters the chat and comments.
Okay, that's a different chicken.
Chicken people.
Wrong chort.
But we'll take them.
I'm not, yeah.
And then KFC finally commented last night.
And, yeah.
I was like, well, bidding war.
Bitting war.
Yeah.
But once Red Rooster, KFC might have seen it and gone, ah, cute, but a lot of people have done it.
Red Rooster is sniffing around comedian.
And KFC goes, no, no, no, no, he's out.
He's out.
Well, who's going to buy it first?
That's what I want to know.
That's right.
Because you're right.
You didn't, oh, I guess you said KFC.
But, I mean, we could easily change that to Red Rooster.
Did you change that to Red Rooster?
What would it sound like if it's Red Rooster?
Oh, ooh.
Off the fly, go.
Oh, okay, where am I going?
Oh, Red Rooster.
I actually did come up with a red rooster.
Here we go.
First play.
Okay.
Red rooster, if you're listening.
Red rooster coming at you.
Oh, oh, whoa.
Red rooster coming at you.
Crispy chicken full of flavor.
Oh.
I think I like that one more.
Get in touch with the gang.
He could be the voice of both.
Why can't he?
You take 10% and I take 10%
and we give the rest of the committee.
Mate, so what we need to be,
what do we need to do?
Following you, keep on bargaining.
Let's get the attention.
That was so.
That was so good.
So KFC said if you get 100K likes, we'll be in contact.
And what is Red Rooster said?
Do they want 200KK?
Red Rooster comments said, we're waiting for our jingle.
So I'm like, well, you got it now.
You've got it.
Let's talk.
Will we talk?
Well, we talk.
On Jess and Rowland.
All right.
So we shared on the Jess and Rowland socials.
We actually did it last night, committee.
We did it last night.
We shared the video.
It's just likes.
I'm happy to turn.
I'm happy to go, I haven't eaten KFC in ages anyway.
I'm going to roll out to Red Rooster.
I might even play it to one of the staff.
Hey, that's not bad.
From the ground up.
We got a JBL on. We got a game.
I might go play it in the store.
We need a boom box.
Yeah, we've gone.
From the ground floor committee, I just love.
We love people making something out of nothing.
Yeah.
Because, I mean, that's our whole ethos.
Oh.
Well done.
The other ethos, we can be bought.
We can be bought.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Jess and Rowan's 10K alpha bucks on hit.
10K every day at 7 and 8, Jess.
That's right. The game is alpha bucks.
You do the rules?
You do the rules.
30 seconds.
One letter.
10 questions.
Get them all right, $10,000.
You don't get them all right, you get none.
Natin.
Ah, you get the pleasure of our company.
Talk to us for a little bit.
That's a gift.
Talk to the great famous Jess Fartreone.
You should be so lucky.
Shannon, good morning.

Shannon, thank you for joining the show.
You want our $10,000, don't you?
I would love it.
What do you want to spend the money on?
My sister has three kids and I'd like to spend it on getting them back to school,
like with cool stuff, you know, like nicey, added out, stuff like that.
Hell, yes, Shannon.
Oh, you're the fun, great, kind, auntie.
I try to be.
Are you Auntie Shan?
Or do you have one of those, like, cute nicknames because the kids couldn't say Shannon when they were growing up?
Shan or Rara.
Oh, Auntie Rara.
Oh, let's get Auntie Rara.
$1,000, Rowan.
Let's get it some cash, mate.
The letter you are working with today, Shannon, it is P.

Okay.
All right, your time will start after the first question.
Starting with letter P, Auntie Rara, we need you to name.
A party food.
Party pie.
A periodic element.

Oh my goodness.
Ha.
Damn.
Some good answers in there, to be honest.
You actually came home really strong, doll.
She did.
Aunirara came home hard hard.
She did.
Well done.
What did you get?
Party food?
Party pies?
I don't know about party, but you would have got Pee for pies.
So that's good.
Yep, yep.
Period.
element, you would have had potassium, something in the pantry, past Aussie athlete, Pat Cummins,
Patrick Carrigan.
Yep.
I had Pat Rafter before.
I was very happy with that.
That was very nice when we played earlier.
But otherwise, you came home real hard.
And I will actually, can I say, I've got one, two, three, four, five.
I'm going to give you the phone.
Oh, yeah, well, that's what it's called.
I'm going to give you the phone out.
Totally, that's what it's called.
Amazing.
Well done, Shannon.
Unfortunately, your nieces and nephews will have to go to school with not the cool.
Auntie Rara, auntie Nana.
Sorry, Shannon.
Love you.
Thank you for joining the show, Shan.
Thank you for joining the show, Shan.
Appreciate you.
Have a good one.
Sorry, Rara says Nana.
Rara says Nana is fantastic.
Technically, Uncle Roweau said no-no.
Actually, it's really hard.
Ah, nice.
Jess and Rowan, morning.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Australia's favorite radio game.
Oh, my God.
Shy Guy dips.
What a fun time.
It is a fun time.
I've never really heard of the dips until I walked in the building.
Shy guy, I feel like we've had to explain shy guy dips a couple of times.
So Rowan, he doesn't quite not understand.
I don't know if you're fully on board.
You will.
You will be able.
Give us 20 minutes.
I suggested yesterday we do shy guy shoves.
And then I listened back to the podcast and I realized I said it.
And I was like, shoves kids.
And I was like, why did I say that?
Yeah, that's weird.
Just shoving them on the foot.
Shy guy's just shoving kids out of the way.
Nah.
So that's not what he stands for.
Shavis is not going to work.
What he stands for...
Shavis is not going to work.
He's given away free stuff.
Is that what it is?
Yeah.
Because what he's going to do is describe in a series of convoluted clues.
Yep.
In Shaiyanese, we say.
If you can translate those series of clues,
not only do you win the glory.
He has his own little language that just kind of floats around.
You go into an elite pool of people.
Only a small number of people speak shy guy ines.
Don't leave.
It's not on duolingo for a reason.
Not yet.
But you also win your own, I'm going to say packet.
Yeah, you win a packet.
Of what he is trying to describe.
So we'll get to some of that.
You get something in the post.
We've dipped biscuits.
We've dipped cereal.
We've sipped drinks and we've licked ice cream.
What's the most expensive thing you've done?
You reckon?
Food item.
Oh, I reckon it'd be one of the gluten-free, healthy cereals.
Yeah.
When we had to get niche with the cereals last year.
No, you know what it was when you had to do American cereals?
and you did like greases.
We had to get them imported.
He had to get them imported.
The shipping alone was like $45.
I'm getting into this.
Hell yeah.
So, Cyga, you've agonised over the break.
You had five weeks off to decide.
Multiple meetings.
What?
What will be dipping this year?
What are you dipping for the new year?
We are dipping lollies.
Yay!
Lollies, ladies and gentlemen, lollies.
A sweet treat.
Now, usually it would land on a Wednesday.
We couldn't do it yesterday.
So every Wednesday, we are dipping lollies now.
Every Wednesday we're doing it.
13-1060.
First clue.
The bag is red.
The bag is red.
I was about to say that's an awful clue, but it's not a bad clue.
It's not a bad clue.
And that's the thing, Rowan.
They're all awful clues.
That's why it makes the game so brilliant when you get it.
My fault.
It's shy guy and ease.
It's shy guy in ease.
131060, you would have a guess at what he's dipping.
What shy guy's dipping.
Call us.
Take calls next.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Australia's favorite radio game
Oh my God!
Oh my God, you dip me down.
Oh my God, oh my God, I'm ahead.
Shy Guy Dips.
It's going to turn into my favorite game as well,
Shy Guy Dips.
Right now it's Australia's favorite,
but Rowan's on the fence.
I don't know.
So shy guy.
I'm not just going to love it because you guys love it.
27 million people, bar one.
New opener.
And the nation is behind it.
The nation is behind it.
We've dipped biscuits, cereals,
we've sipped and we've licked.
But for 2026, shy guy has decided after multiple meetings.
And I'm assuming market research.
You've temperature to check the people.
Lollies.
When they do the radio surveys, I say, what lolly do you like?
It's a plentiful.
It's a plentiful aisle at the supermarket.
So it could see us the whole year.
I reckon it will.
Rian.
Hello.
You are going down in history.
You are the first dips player for 2026.
How does that feel?
First dipper.
Oh, that feels good.
She's the first dipper.
First dipper.
We've heard red bag.
But being the first call of Rehrie, you know how the game works.
You get a supplementary clue.
Shy guy.
Make it a goodie.
They are Australian made.
Riannon.
So many of the aisle.
Australian made.
Jaffers.
Jaffers.
Jaffers.
Not Jaffers.
Good guess.
Good guess.
See you later.
See you later.
No supplementary prize.
No, unfortunately not.
you.
Crystal, good morning.
Hello.
Also, momentous, second player ever for the new year.
Second dipper.
We're dipping lollies, red bag, made in Australia.
Oh my God, he's opened him.
I just opened the packet.
That's an early open.
May you throw...
Throw one your way?
Yes.
He has shalt his whole schnoz in there, Crystal.
I dropped it, give me an on.
Is this going to be an olfactory clue?
I'm trying to just grab the smell.
I don't know how this.
We'll come to that later in the clip.
There's two colours.
This is one of my favourite.
Two colours.
Okay.
Two colours on each lolly.
Rowan's got one in his mouth.
It's now my gut.
Oh shit.
He's following.
Crystal.
Okay.
I'm going to guess Alan's Killer Python.
Oh.
Okay.
I reckon there's more colours in Killer Python's.
Crystal.
Definitely more.
Put it all together.
13, 1060.
Ellie, good morning.
Good morning, guys.
We are dipping lollies.
We've heard.
We've heard Australian made.
There was smell
coming.
How would you describe that smell?
But we also heard two colours per lolly.
Ooh, I would...
Bonus clue.
The smell is fruity Ellie.
Wait, is that what you're giving Ellie or is that just a bonus?
That's a bonus.
So what's the clue for Ellie then?
It is in Allen's as the previous player.
Oh, we're confirming it isn't Ellen.
Allens.
Allen.
I saw Alan.
That's Steve.
Stay!
Ellie.
Ellie, what do you reckon?
What do you reckon?
Is it Sherby?
Sherbies.
Sherbies?
I've heard of Sherby.
You've got a Sherby, haven't you?
I'm not a huge, this is going to be huge news.
Not a huge lolly fan.
You will be by the end of the year.
Ellie, I'm sorry, it's not Sherbies.
Now, Kearley, Kearley has called through late.
I'm assuming it's because Kearley thinks she knows.
Hi, Keely, man.
Hey, Kearie.
Good morning.
It's not Jaffers.
It's not Sherbies.
It's not killer pythons.
You got another clue, though.
Hang on, you got another clue, Keely.
Perfect.
There's a, um, two words.
Would you say two words?
Something and something.
I'd say three.
All right.
Two words with an end.
Yeah, that's right.
Kearley.
Yes.
I'm thinking strawberries and cream.
Flirting with it.
You are flirting with it, but unfortunately no.
I think you need to send Kearley one of these.
Just as a supplementary.
A single of this.
Strawberrys and cream.
Keely's going to be kicking herself.
Keely's been furious.
Courtney, it's not strawberries and cream.
Hi, guys.
Hello.
Good morning.
All right.
Your other clue, Courtney, is there is a...
Say it.
Say it, mate.
There's a peach with a face on it on.
Courtney, what is it?
Oh, no.
I was going to say pine apples.
Well, is that three words?
Courtney, no.
Pine apples.
Peaches and cream.
What is it?
Peaches and cream.
Yes!
Well done.
Hey Courtney, that's how you play the game, babe.
You've got to pivot.
I know you've locked in pineapples, you pivoted,
and you have won an unopened packet.
Yeah.
Of Alan's, peaches and cream.
Do you like?
I might give it a kiss.
Excellent.
Oh, Rowan will give it a kiss.
Do you want the kiss or don't want the kiss?
You can choose.
I'll take it if it's already happened.
Okay.
That hasn't happened, but it's going to happen now, though.
Hey, the first one of shy guy dips is a good one.
Now, how do you feel?
Rowan. I feel really happy that I was involved in it. Are you part of the nation now?
Australia's favourite game. You keep rolling out the lollies like peaches and cream.
Think about every Wednesday. I get some lollies every morning.
Bro, it's a great idea. And the company pays. It's great.
Oh, you're not even paying it. No. Conquer.
This is Jess and Rowan. Right now, there is a woman I've been desperate to talk to
for days. Shy guys worked his magic.
Well done shy guys. That's you, brother. I think he sent an email.
A DM. A DM. More than I did. Love it.
More than I did, too.
This woman got my attention.
In fact, a rice cooker sent her to me.
Sent me her story.
She said, Jess, I think you get a real kick out of what this one
Victorian lady is doing.
Her name is Terry.
She goes by Tezal.
T-E-Z-O-W online.
Terry's single.
Terry's on the apps, Rowland.
And she went on a date with a fella who said,
I'd love you to dress up.
I think he met.
Nice little black dress and heels.
Bit of a doucheback thing to say pretty early.
Pretty.
Do she?
We can ask Terry about that, but I didn't love that.
But Terry being the legend, she is, went,
you want me to dress up, baby?
Oh, I'll dress up.
And she dressed up in a full-body, orange latex suit, tip to toe,
big bushy eyebrows and mustache,
big pot belly stuffed in there to look like the Lorax from Dr. Zeus.
Terry then proceeds to go on the date with the real estate agent.
That note is important.
This is how it played out on the...
that hinge date.
I'm actually really embarrassed.
You told me to dress up.
Is this not what you mean?
Do you think I look pretty?
I need a drink.
Wait, what are you doing yourself?
The real estate.
What do you do with yourself?
I do a few different things.
You can sell a property in one of my development.
I will give you 100 grand to buy a new outfit.
Why, are you serious?
If you promise me, get the real of that fucking outfit, then I'll go.
Sorry, sorry, he's not just a real estate agent.
He's a real estate agent with a development.
With development.
So it's an extra level of how I am.
Absolutely.
Terry joins us now. Terry, thank you for making time for us, girlfriend. How are you?
Guys, what an intro. Thanks so much for having me off.
We love this story so much because Terry, I don't think you know anything about us,
but we are very big fans of making something out of nothing.
Yeah, definitely. And you, my girl, have made something out of nothing.
This is definitely something.
Our first question, Terry, we're mates now. You heard the nice intro.
Yep.
Is this legit? Is this legit? Like, was this.
bloke actually just out of the blue going, I'll give you my commission if you can sell one of the
properties?
Yes, completely with it.
And I just really don't think he had any faith in me.
I just think there was no chance of it happening.
And then once it started kind of blowing up, the actual property developer got back to
them and they got involved.
So like his boss or his bosses?
Yeah, essentially his boss.
I mean, he works for himself, but he works with development, like property developers.
and the big new properties.
Yeah.
So they are happy to stand by him giving you.
Is it that essentially what it is?
His commission, $100,000.
100,000.
$200,000 for $2.5 million would be about, would probably be the commission.
Yeah, quick maps.
Yeah, quick maps.
Would it be the commission?
Yeah.
It's essentially been like a bit, but yeah, it will be the commission.
So I've got that of writing.
And the property developers have been great.
They kind of got involved in it when it started going viral.
and they said, if you get two, I asked them if I could have an opening house, an open house.
And they said if I got 200,000 views, I could host the open home.
But it ended up getting over four million.
So they just really have much of a choice about to leave me host the open home.
And this is the thing. Terry didn't host the open home.
The Lorrax hosted the open home.
You had signage there, the Lorax property.
You had unbelievable turnout from, I'm assuming friends, family and fans,
people dressing up themselves.
Didn't you have one person you said brought you a prop, a gift of sorts?
Yes, there was so many people.
I'm so grateful for all the people that rallied up.
Just strangers on the internet.
I just absolutely love the internet.
There was a woman there that brought me,
I don't know if you guys have seen the lorax,
but the trees on the lorax.
They kind of looked like fluffy.
Yeah.
She went and handmade me these truffler trees,
and she made, honestly, about 50 of them.
and brought them in a vase.
Unbelievable.
Now, it's one thing to have gotten views, likes,
and yeah, truffle the trees from a rando.
Thank you.
The question is,
has anyone actually offered to buy the property the Lorax is selling?
So we had a couple of,
I've just been learning all about property.
We have a new Section 32's request on the date,
and I go to the property,
about the time, I'm like, sorry, what does they actually mean?
Someone's asking me for documents now, and I don't know what that is.
I'm literally just, I'm literally just the Lorax.
Yeah, sorry, I'm the line.
So we had a couple of those, which has been good.
The half was listed for 2.5 mil, which is obviously quite a large sum of money,
but the half was just beautiful.
So we had a couple of lower offers in there, so there's still some negotiations going on.
But some great news is from their open house, they ended up selling, or have now, it's not 100% yet,
but they've almost locked it in.
So two apartments have sold.
Different, different apartments.
In that development.
In the development.
You've got to get some money, baby.
Yeah, you're going to cut.
Are you going to cut out?
You've got to get that.
Yeah, it's not 100K, but I'm typically getting some commission of that.
Unbelievable.
Terry, that's actually.
was that an asterisk?
So this place, in particular, 2.5 million, it was listed.
Do you have to sell it?
Does the Lorax have to sell it for 2.5 for you to get the Hyundai?
Or if they accept one of the offers?
Astrox is back in four.
Okay, fair enough.
It's a lot of money.
The guy has basically said, you know what?
This has done absolute wonders.
The guy has really changed his tune from the first video.
He's actually a much nicer guy then.
He came across.
We really came across bad.
Now you're dating.
That's good.
I wouldn't say we're dating.
No,
we've almost become...
We're kind of friends now, I would say.
It sounds like your business partners.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
The world's our oyster now.
I think we've just really shaken the real estate industry up.
Oh, my God.
It's amazing.
We'll keep an eye on the Lorax property.
Because when you hit this,
because I believe in you.
Please keep us updated.
I truly think it will sell.
I truly do.
If is anyone out there looking for a townhouse in South Melbourne.
No, no, no. We wanted to congratulate you.
Otherwise, going to give us some cash.
That's right.
Jess and Roe will get a slice of the pie.
But Terry, just quickly, so that's on the real estate front.
We're not dating the real estate agent, dude.
You are still looking for love, though.
What's your next costume for your next date?
Well, I thought we could go get some, like, fish and ships on the beach,
and I'd dress up as a seagull.
Fantastic.
And they're, like, steal his chips.
Fantastic.
I mean.
That's my, Terry.
This is Jess and Roy.
Go and go on and you for breakfast.
This is Jess and Rowan.
We need to talk about tones and I later.
Really?
There is a movement.
There is a movement happening around tones.
And someone's asked for our help.
Oh, okay.
We'll circle back.
One time she asked me for my help back in the day when I used to smoke a lot.
Not good.
Don't do it ever do it kids.
This is before Dance Monkey.
We're in...
When she was still busking in Byron?
No.
She maybe had maybe just had Dance Monkey and...
Exploded.
Big Pineapple Festival. I was up there with some
mates and at the back, loving around. And I was
lighting something, cigarette. And
thank you for Clarifying. Why don't it makes
like a... I don't know. It was actually just a cigarette. And
she goes, oh, can I have one? And I just saw this chick
sitting down in like a really beat up jumper and I was like, no.
And I kept walking and then later she rejected dance monkey.
I rejected dance monkey. Hang on. When you say later, like she got up on the
stage and you went, that was the lady who asked me for a cigarette.
No, like three months later, we're playing the song on the Brisbane radio station,
like every two hours.
And I was like, that's that cigarette girl.
That's the cigarette girl.
So something about her at the time stood out to you.
You still rejected her.
She said, oh, can I get one?
And I said, no.
That's rejection.
Adam and I just kept moving.
But it was like, oops.
Sorry, Adam from Peaking Duck.
Thank you so much.
No, well, I didn't say that.
Ron's got a famous friend.
You can pick a lot of.
I do have a lot of favorites.
You do got a lot of friends.
I can't believe you do that's a tone's an eye.
You're my favorite favorite, friend.
That's so nice, hardly famous.
You're welcome.
What was going to say?
We'll talk about tones and I apologize.
I just really, it just reminded me we're on top of it team.
Well, I just want to say quickly, no longer am I using chat GPT for things.
No longer am I asking chat GPT for, you know what?
I'm okay with getting chat to do you a plan or something.
I'm okay with like, oh, can you help me schedule this and this and this?
What order should I put my nighttime serum?
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
All those things.
Should I put the steroid cream on the rash first or the moisturiser first?
What am I doing?
I basically dropped in my blood test into chat deputy and said, do I need to fast for all of these?
So yesterday for context, you were up against it because you were like, I've got to go after the show for a blood test.
You're taking control of your health in 2026.
But yes, you were like, I've asked chat GPT what I should do in preparation.
I want to put it on the record.
I was not for that.
I want to let everyone know.
I also didn't read it right, but here's the problem.
I said, do I have to fast before a blood test like this?
And then it obviously just does it a little thing and goes...
Because specifically, yes.
Yes. Oh, you need fasting lipids.
You need this, this and this and this.
You should fast it down there.
It says no food, no coffee, no water, no juice, whatever.
I missed the no coffee bit and said...
Because you had a black coffee as you were saying.
And I went, why are having a coffee?
You said, chat GPT said it was okay if it's black coffee.
So it said water is fine.
And I was like, oh, can I just have black coffee then?
They're two very different things, but okay.
It's just like, just some, just some like water ran over ground up.
You think liquids are liquids.
Totally.
And then it said, then it just was like, oh, yeah, it was like black coffee is okay.
So you were up against it all morning, starving.
You go to your blood test after the show.
What happened?
So I say, no, I keep going.
Okay, so three espressoes like four hours before.
be okay. Short answer?
Yes, it's fine, right? I went, great.
Go in there and she said, oh, let me...
This is freaking me out, please turn off.
All right, won't use it anymore. Thanks.
That one was heapsed, yeah.
That was scary. That was some war of the world stuff.
So I get in there.
It said, too long didn't read,
you're still considered fasted.
Go for it, just stop coffee after that,
stick to water until the test, right?
So then I go...
You roll into the test with a human being.
She goes, good. How are you? I was like, good.
I just need this.
Oh, great. You fasted?
And I said, I had black coffee.
She went, no.
Rowan!
She went no?
And I went, oh.
And I was like, I'm not going to tell her that I asked chat GPT because she's going to hit me.
Oh, my God.
Did I not say this to you?
But I said, I said like, what?
I asked you specifically.
I just, no, no, I guess you did.
And you're right, unfortunately.
I said, what source?
What source did chat GPT throw up?
And I went, was it reputable?
And you went, what?
But listen here.
Bloody thing said to me, oh, then then, now this is on me.
because I started to get a little bit nasty.
So I wrote to a...
To chat Jopet or the lady.
I said black coffee wasn't allowed, so thanks a lot.
Hey, you're arguing with the computer.
Ah, that one's on me.
I'm sorry.
Thanks for calling it out.
Too late, bro.
We shouldn't be educating.
Oh my God.
I knew this would happen.
We are now relying on the eye for health.
Babs has been using it a little bit for stuff.
For help?
And she asked me yesterday if mine does something to go out.
Yeah, mine's becoming really human-like and it's really scaring me.
What did you ask?
What's the last thing you are?
Well, sometimes I ask it for alpha bucks categories when I'm writing the questions.
And I said ice cream flavors starting with G.
And it went vanilla in brackets.
I love this flavor.
And it went chocolate.
Sorry, just to joke.
I know you asked for G.
And then listed all the G things.
And I said, excuse me?
That was my problem.
I said, why wouldn't you just say no?
And said, sorry, I was going for a more nuanced answer.
In what nuanced?
I wanted the right one.
Guys, guys.
But I will get it to give me the top five.
For my phone.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Jess and Rowan's 10K alpha bucks on hit.
What a fun week it would be if the first week we had a $10,000 winner, Jess.
Wouldn't it be good?
We're running out of opportunities.
It's Thursday at 8 a.m.
We played twice a day.
But just because we haven't done it yet does not mean it cannot be done right now, Ro Ro.
And Nick has come to play.
Good morning, Nick.
Good morning.
How are you guys?
Couldn't be better.
Doing good, doing well.
Couldn't be better, Nick, because nothing would make us happier than making you $10,000 richer.
Amen.
What are you going to spend?
Yes.
What are you going to spend the money on?
My daughter turned 13 next week and she wants to have a weekend in Sydney.
Hell yeah.
So, yeah, it would go towards that.
That's a boogey 13-year-old.
What's she got in mind?
We got a nice little penthouse apartment on Mum's Dollar.
We got a shopping trip.
Spensive twice.
Shopping, factory outlet.
Yeah.
Maybe a bit of raging.
Water's.
Fun.
All right.
All right.
Let's get the gals down to Sydney.
What's your daughter's name?
Molly.
Okay.
I was really hoping you were going to say like Greer.
Oh, you're Greer.
Or Grace, because the letter you're working with is G.
G.
All right.
You're happy with that?
Great, yep.
Good attitude because I can't change it now.
Your time will start after the first question.
You're ready?
Yes, ready.
Starting with the letter G.
We need you to name.
A type of flower.
Gravilia.
A TV show.
Grace Anatomy.
A country.
Germany.
Something in the bathroom.
Pass.
A cartoon character.
A verb.
A verb.
Galloping.
Something rough.
A book.
A book.
The Great Cat's Big.
I said the
But anyway
Oh, you don't do that to you.
We don't do that will be tea
Okay, we get that one then
Sorry
Not bad, I thought you were going to get it
You started really hot
Real strong
And when I always think when people start hot
They win
Agreed
That's like a really big tip
Just from Rowan
Who's played this for 10 years
You start hot
You got a really, really hot chance
Hey don't know sorry
It's all good
Nah Nick you gave it a great shot
Give it a good go
Good go
What did you walk away with?
I gave a four.
Four.
I got four.
Something in a bathroom.
You could have had gel, gloves, cartoon character.
Could have had Garfield, goofy.
Something rough.
That's a creative one from Babs there, something rough.
What about a grader?
What about a grader?
Otherwise, they were really good.
You started hot and fast.
It's so much so that I looked at the timer and went,
uh-oh, we're on.
She's on here.
Nick, thank you for joining the show.
Happy birthday to Molly.
Yes.
But you'll be paying for the girls' weekend yourself.
Okay.
Totally, yeah.
Enjoy Sydney.
Yes.
On your own dollar, unfortunately.
Up next, Rowan.
Chances to get involved to win at Shearing tickets.
If you have kids in a daycare, I need your help.
Next, Jess and Rowan.
This is Jess and Rowan.
What is the worst thing?
Your kid has brought home from daycare.
Another kid.
That would be bad.
Who are you?
I don't know, you.
This is Michael.
Because.
Oh, my kid's been back at daycare for the new year, maybe two weeks, Rowan.
Gorgeous, sweet little things.
Sweet Lucia, she's only two.
And I want to put it out there at the top.
This is not a go at the educators.
They are up against it.
This could be good.
I understand that.
But some of the craft that is coming home, Rowan.
It's nonsense.
I've seen it.
I'm not sure if it's making it to the glory box to pull out when she's 18 going,
look at what you used to create.
Yeah, okay.
I am one of those parents.
I think she's a prodigy.
I think she's a swimming superstar.
We call her Titmus, because she's the next Ariane.
Really?
She's unbelievable.
I think she's a musical genius.
Probably.
She's pitch perfect.
When it comes to art, though,
Not good.
I'm not sure if that's one of Lucci's strengths.
Not good.
In the past two weeks, I've gone to pick her up,
and the sweet educator tells me,
oh, we had a lot of fun painting today.
Lucia loved it.
I said, oh, can I take it home, please?
This is the one you saw Rowan.
Apparently she loved doing the art.
It is a smear.
Nothing on it.
Of orange.
I get it.
It might be like kind of abstract and stuff.
And when I asked Lucia, what is that?
She said it's daddy.
Yeah, it's just a smear.
It's a smear.
It's a smear.
Man.
Shmeer of a man.
So that's ended up on the fridge, obviously.
It's not amazing.
That's okay.
She's two.
It's all good.
I go last Thursday.
I reckon it was.
Oh, we did some more arts and crafts.
And I said, well, nothing's going to beat the smear.
No.
So what did you do today?
She goes, well, we were doing nature craft.
So the children got a glue.
I'm guessing it's like a clag or whatever.
And then we got to use sand and leaves and twigs and bits and bobs from the garden.
Wow.
And I see them all on the drying rack.
And there is just like mini sand pits everywhere.
Plentiful.
Great, great, like really good bits of.
Actually interesting.
Okay, okay.
But then she picks up a piece of paper.
With nothing on us.
With nothing on it except glue.
Oh, no.
She gave, and it says Lucia, 2026.
Well, she signed it.
One of 50.
Limited edition, baby.
It's a smear of glue.
So that also is now on the fridge.
So she, when she hands this to you, first thing, the educator goes, isn't it great?
What's she saying?
The educator has a straight face.
Now, they've obviously mastered that having a straight face.
And then I feel bad saying anything negative.
What about, like, Lucia, when you go, wow, thanks, does she just go, look at you, like,
look how nice my paint?
She's proud as punched.
Wow.
And the issue is we don't have enough enough magnets now.
So now I have to go buy magnets to put all this crap on the fridge.
So now you have to pay for this nonsense.
Now I'm going to pay for the nonsense.
But nothing beats a girlfriend of mine when we were talking about the arts and crafts.
She goes, well, my four-year-old came home from daycare with a beach in a bottle.
With a beach in a bottle.
What's a beach in a bottle?
I asked Emily.
And she proceeded to pull it out because you can't get rid of this stuff, Rowan.
Particularly when they're a bit older.
They know they've made a beach in the bottle.
So, Mummy, where's my beach in a bottle?
It is a big old, I guess it's an empty Pepsi or one of the big two-liter coax.
Sprite.
I'm assuming they had to take that to daycare unless they just went through a recycling bin and brought them in.
Filled with sand and water.
That's it?
And that's what the kids brought home.
It wasn't even like a quick little, like, piece of garbage from me.
Like, there wasn't even shell.
No, no shells.
Sand and water.
Beach and a bottle.
Beach in a bottle.
And that's what the kids got to bring home.
See, that thing. You're very nice.
You're plied in place in a plastic bottle.
It's garbage.
I think these educators have taken the piss.
And I think they know it.
I think they know it.
I love it.
It's, I mean, it's good.
This is how we foster creativity with glue on a piece of paper.
Just trying.
And beach and a bottle, I think.
And also, what else are you doing with your empty Sprite bottles?
I would have just been, probably banging my head against a while when I was daycare.
Your parents couldn't bring any beach at a bottle home.
You were too busy.
Where is it?
We left it there.
You were too hard.
You were way too hard work.
You never filled your beach in a bottle with beach or water.
You'd be sucking on the tooth face.
Just like, we're trying to get you, shut up.
You were eating the clag.
I was eating the clag.
So 131060 or 04-8-8-18-1069.
Awesome.
What's the worst thing your kid brought home from daycare?
Yeah, what is it?
What is it?
Can be anything.
Nothing against them?
A little.
A little. A bit more creative than just I would get sick every six weeks too.
Oh, yeah, please.
This is Jess and Rowan.
I don't know what I was expecting from my two-year-old,
but she's a prodigy in so many facets of life.
Something more than a bit of a smear of glue on a piece of paper.
It's a smear of glue.
And I think in transit, from daycare to home,
something stuck to it, a bit of detritus,
to the point when I put it on the fridge and my husband saw it,
he goes, what is that, a cockroach leg?
Because there was a bit of schmutz.
Schmood.
Zach, DM'd us.
Oh, what up, Zach?
I lie.
Jack, apologies.
Oh, bro.
Jack said, my daughter brought a dead bird in her lunchbox.
That's funny.
That's more, actually, probably more entertaining than the smear.
From daycare with some leaves and sticks.
And when I asked her what was up, she said, I was just trying to make the birdie comfortable.
Dead, mate.
It's dead.
It's dead, mate.
Zoe's called.
Hey, Zoe.
Hi, Zoe.
Hello, how are you?
Couldn't be better, though.
What's the worst thing?
Worst is so subjective.
What's your kid brought home from daycare?
She bought home a gnarly haircut.
Did someone give her that haircut, or did she go rogue with the scissors?
Her little friend gave her a haircut.
She had long bits, short bitch, bored bits.
She, yes.
A little friend.
A little friend.
How old are we talking, Zoe?
I think she was about two and a half.
Oh, okay.
Well, at least she came both home, you know, both eyeballs intact.
Scissors with a two and a half-year-old, anything could have happened.
At least she had the eyeballs going on.
The eyeballs were okay, but a gnarly haircut.
Emily, good morning to you.
Good morning, guys.
How are we?
Fantastic.
Be better.
For a chance at Ed Shearing tickets, what's your kid brought home from daycare?
She decided to bring home not once, but twice.
Our worms, and I'm not talking about the ones we find in the garden.
That's what I'm saying, up the bum.
Oh, no.
The burns.
Yes, that was lovely.
And, of course, you find them at like 8 o'clock at.
night when all the pharmacies are closed.
Yeah.
We're playing to a five-year-old.
This is what it is.
And she's having a meltdown and I'm like, this is why we wash our hands and we don't
have a sandpit at home.
Yes, Emily.
Oh, my God.
You've got to get that chocolate.
Got to sort out the, oh, the chocolate worms.
The worming chocolate, which is, I'm such a mean parent.
That's the only chocolate.
But that, like, Lucia thinks it's a chocolate block.
You know, Angus will have the fruit and nut.
She goes, I want some.
And I go, yeah, yeah, here you go.
Just give us some of the worming chocolate.
Not a bad idea.
Zoe, good morning.
Hi.
Zoe, what's your kid brought home from daycare?
We've had all the usual fun stuff, rocks and craft and all the rest of it.
But the worst thing she brought home was a full leg spiral fracture.
Oh, spiral means impact.
Yes.
So how did that happen?
She was walking over the little wooden bridge at daycare and got her foot stuck in it
And her body kept going, so it just twisted.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, that's like, it's one thing for me to be winching about a smear of glue that I'm trying to get excited about.
It's another to have to deal with an injury of that caliber.
Yeah, you just go, hey, guys, this happened to my child.
You reckon you can sort out the bridge?
The bridge.
Or I'm going to turn into the troll.
The bridge is a hazard.
Speaking of rock, Zoe said, you know, the kid before the fracture had brought home rock.
We got another DM.
Oh, yeah.
Emily.
Besides gastro.
I mean, every kid brought home.
my 15-month-old
ate a bright, hot pink rock.
And she literally farted it out.
Let's go.
I've never seen a child fart out a rock.
Oh my God, I know she sent you a photo.
Don't show me that.
Hello, Sarah.
How are you?
Sarah, good morning.
Good morning, guys.
That were you.
Oh, Sarah, we're fantastic.
We're talking about our sweet, precious angels
and what they bring home from daycare.
Most of the time.
Well, my little girl decided to do a beautiful nature artwork with your leaves and sticks and all the rest of it.
But then there was a poor deceased skink that made it onto the artwork.
She's found a tiny lizard and gone.
Swished it on.
This is nice.
Your kid's doing smears as well.
That was on the fridge for about a week, I think.
You had the skink on the fridge.
It was not allowed to be anywhere else.
Okay.
So you put it as the closest thing to the refrigerator food.
Great idea.
This is Jess and Rowan.
One two, three, three.
Justin Rowans.
What's the threesome?
Everybody loves.
That's a genuine question for me.
I don't know what the freesom is.
Shy guy's going to give us three things.
We have to tell him what they have in common.
Now, here's the caveat, Rowan.
What is that?
Might be very obvious to you,
but that's not what he has deemed they have in common.
So there's no arguing because it's shy guy's game.
Shy guy and he.
Is this another shy guy in East thing?
Kind of.
Now, to be fair to you, Babs and I,
have had two years of trying to decipher
where his mind might have gone.
Because I'm really on the back foot.
Well, to be fair to us, you've known him the longest, technically.
Yeah, you might, you might be fine.
You might be able to get into his mind.
Oh, more surface time with the shy guy than I.
Oh!
Wait, when did you start this?
When did you start working with this guy?
2024.
Yeah, to you.
I might have had more service time.
You might have.
So let's see how this goes.
No names of your buzzers, just straight in.
All right, first one.
Fast and Furious, drive, grand.
Car movies.
No, car movies.
Thank you.
Correct.
Okay, so that's how it works.
Well, I just had to see how it works.
I know how it worked.
I know, you didn't give Rowan a practice, which I thought was...
I didn't think we needed to do.
I thought it was pretty simple.
It is pretty easy.
But see, now, I'll reckon he set you up to fail there, Rowan.
He did.
That was very easy car movies.
He has done before...
I would have said car movies and I was like, Vin Diesel, maybe.
He has done in the past subatomic particles.
So that's the scope.
Or things containing potassium.
All right, next question.
That is...
I started easy.
Latitude, longitude, altitude.
Up.
I don't know.
They are...
Directions?
Close, getting me.
Rhewen was closest.
Directions.
I don't actually know how to...
Categorne.
Yeah.
Things on a map?
Direct.
Yeah, I don't...
Grid.
Sailing seas.
Something about a compass?
You're flirting with it.
Direction.
Direction.
North-southeastern.
I don't know.
Location.
The sun?
No.
Buzz us out.
Geographic positioning
terminology.
Oh, great.
That's exactly what I was going to say.
If you'd given me a minute, I would have to give me a bit more time.
All right.
Next one.
Yeah.
Amazon, eBay, Ali.
Online stores.
Yeah, but it's.
What did you say?
I said, uh, forest.
Amazon's a rip.
No, it's a forest.
They don't.
They don't.
They're better.
That's good.
Okay.
First one.
First one.
Breaking Bad,
Narcos.
Tobes.
Drugs, drugs.
Shows about drugs.
Deals.
What did you say first?
I said drugs.
And then you said?
Dealers.
No.
TV shows about drugs.
Thank you.
And that's the other thing.
You can piggyback off someone else's answer.
I'm going to hate this game.
It's because you suck at it.
Galaxy.
Pixel.
iPhone.
Sam.
No, they're smartphones.
Yeah, there's smartphones.
Oh, what?
Why are these...
Babbs is going too deep.
Yeah.
Now Babs is not out of herself.
Sahara, Gobie, Simpson.
Desert.
Desert.
Yes!
Point to Rowan.
He's on the board.
Three to Jess.
Yay.
We haven't won the game yet.
Oh, we haven't won the game yet.
Oh, okay.
Three to Jess.
You got one.
One to Bath.
I just thought it'd be over when I won.
All right.
Lucky ladies, let it ride.
Heads up, Poldham.
They are poker games?
Are they poker games?
More.
Keep going.
Poker.
Poker phrases.
Variants.
It's gambling phrases.
I'm not giving it yet.
Is it all about poker?
They're all one thing.
Gambling.
Card game.
They're card games.
What?
Casino card games.
Thank you.
Now Jess has won it.
Play the bed.
Play the thing.
No.
Oh, rude.
Don't use your power on the buttons.
Celebrate.
Celebrate the wins.
It's really uncomfortable guys when you don't go, well done.
Well done.
You won again.
This is Jess.
Justin Rowan.
Jess and Rowan, new for breakfast in 2026.
Good morning.
That is Ed Shearer.
You're right.
I can feel that coming.
I was like, don't come back.
See, once a smoker, your lungs never recover.
It's a great lesson for the kids.
What was the last time you had a Siggy?
Years ago.
Years ago, see?
I just don't.
I have the coolest video of Rowan cigarette.
It's not cool, actually.
Sorry, I take that back.
I take that back.
Pretty cool.
But see, those lungs.
Well, I have badass for any way.
I don't know why I ever did it.
God, you got a bit wrong with you.
Allergic to peanuts.
Okay.
Allergic to peanuts.
That's quite enough.
Asthma.
Yeah.
What else have you got going on?
Too handsome?
Way too attractive.
Way too attractive.
Funny to boo.
You're like a magnet.
You've got a magnetic pool.
Totally.
Because you're assassinating.
I was just living fast and loose.
Did you have another elegy?
Did you say grass?
No.
No, I made that up.
No, I probably am allergic to grass.
Remember that rash you showed me the other day?
Was that from grass?
What was that from?
Which one?
When we went out for dinner.
One of my thighs?
I thought there was one on your elbow and you were like, that's from...
I don't know what that is.
That's literally just like, oh, it's smooth today.
On your wieness.
On my what, sorry?
That's called your wieness.
That's right.
That's skin.
Anyway, asthma, allergies.
Really allergic to having a bad time.
Am I right, guys?
Amen, brother.
Well, lucky you're on the right show.
We have a great time here.
We have a great show today.
was phenomenal if you missed a minute.
Our podcast lives on the listener app.
Yep, get it there.
Enjoy it.
Momentous day.
Shy Guy Deep's back for 2026.
We're dipping lollies, gang.
We've done biscuits, cereals.
We've sipped and we've licked.
We are dipping lollies.
Courtney is getting a bag of peaches and cream.
Hell yeah.
We're going to do that again next week.
And we are back again tomorrow from six.
Goodbye, everybody.
Bye-bye.
That was the Jess and Rowan podcast.
