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 had 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? 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? 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. And 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 drama, 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? See, I don't hate the flute. I could take or leave the clarinet. Here'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 a turn.

Rob's a backhanded compliment from one of his mates. They had some feedback on the new show. He said to me, it's very refreshing hearing you on the radio of a 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.

There's more of the message. Let's drill down. Let's just 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 mean? 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, there's 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 enjoying it or not, brother? Is it refreshing or not, brother? Do you enjoy the show?

Hang on to, is he saying? Or I like to shit at my job, and you think it's funny. We gave you what's in and what's out when it comes to home renaos 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 tap where importer? So you're getting imports to look outdated. I'll get in the tap, the sink, the pot fill up.

How much is the pot fill? Wait, wait, wait, pot filler tap and what's the other thing? And the farmhouse sink. How much full through? From Italy. How much for free? All from Italy? How much for free?

Well, it's happened, though. No, no, give me all three. You don't have to, you can actually, I'll advise it if you like, but just give me the round title, round total, all three. Show the room. Don't say it.

It's in. I didn't even know you could get them that expensive. But, sorry, they're giving me 30% off. Off that price. For some Foncom. Yeah, some oncombe. Those must be some fancy ass tabs because Jess doubled down later in the show about them

after Nat was very close to taking out the 10 grand in Alpha bucks. I'd actually love to go head to head with Nat. She's the only person, and 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 tap 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, baby. 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've got to give a few things to go. Everybody suck. See you next week, rice cookers. Cheerio. No, I stick with that. Nah.
