Calling all K-pop demon hunter fans
The Huntrix and Sartja Boys meals
And now at Maccas
Here we go
Welcome to the Jess and Rowan podcast
Hey guys, thanks for listening to the podcast
Oh my God, it's a pleasure to be
Oh, here's a quick question
We could actually just ask the podcast people
We were thinking off the air
Because we're about to have two weeks off
So there won't be any podcast
Should we do like
Should we record some
For the two weeks they're off?
A daily instalment of Jess and Rowan
Might be like six minutes, seven minutes maybe.
And that's it.
That's it.
Almost like it could be one break or it could just be a little chitty chat.
You and I have gotten very good at starting point A and ending up at point Q.
We'll just go bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
Absolutely.
That could be fun, I think.
Are you getting a temperature check?
Yeah, just temperature check.
04-8-18-1069 or maybe you would like to DM us?
Yeah.
Would you like to keep up your Jess and Rowan intake?
Or do you want a little break from us too?
Because it is fun because you can get it every day or you could leave a
a couple of days at the end of the week and you could listen to maybe five of them.
True.
Just bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
True.
Yeah.
I mean, it's not more work for us per se because we'd be chatting regardless.
We'll turn the mics on.
It's more work for these two.
Oh, that's true.
Darling, shy guy and sweet babes.
How do you feel about it?
Shy guy.
Do you want to give the people more, J&R?
It's just like, what are we going to give them?
Is it worth it?
Just a bit of how I is.
Now he's put it back on us.
Oh, now we have to actually think of some fun stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
See, I was happy to just turn the mics on.
I got some shit I could talk about.
I've got some shit I could talk about too.
Yeah, and then the frequency of it too.
Because, I mean, me and Babs would be for the first week.
We'd do it just for the second week.
Yeah.
Well, we just would, we just give you time to catch up on the podcast.
Hang on, no offense.
Even though you are here the first week, we're still giving new content is what I'm saying, for the pod.
So it's got nothing to do with what's on the radio per se.
It's just what's going out online.
It actually, you won't hear it on the radio at all.
You only hear it on the podcast.
Exactly.
Exactly.
It's exclusive.
It's fun.
It's now.
It's the Jess and Rowan podcast.
See, I quite like the idea of it because then it also will coincide.
You know, there could be a corresponding social post.
That's true.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, because I'm going to bug you after week one and say, Rowan, give me a dump of some pickies.
Yeah, yeah.
You're off to Bali.
Please remind me because I would, yeah, I'll forget.
Don't worry.
I'm all over that.
I like to do couple from you, couple from, so when I used to do this when we're on break.
Yeah, yeah.
It would just be obviously me and my co-host.
Then I started getting hate.
I want to know what shot that back.
are up to, so I had to start hassling them.
Babbs would send me a picture of a burrito.
Every holiday.
It was just her on the couch with a burrito.
Can you put your face in it this time?
She goes, no, here's the burrito.
You want to know what I'm doing?
This is what I'm doing.
I'm eating this.
I said, this looks at the same photo from the last holiday.
She goes, no, it's different.
It's different.
It's different.
Exactly, exactly.
It's not about making your own burritos or you like to go Zeemore.
I feel like financially it makes more sense to just buy burrito.
If you're on your own.
You've got to buy all the ingredients.
You're on your own, yes.
Totally.
Yeah.
And also less wasteful.
Like if you have to buy a 10 pack of the tortilla, that's a lot of tort.
I don't think I've ever gone through the 10 if I'm by myself.
No, no.
If I'm by myself, no.
We have like fajita night and taco night.
So yes, between.
Yeah, I should invite you over.
Yeah, this one's nice.
It's nice.
It's very fun to put you together your own little taco, isn't it?
It is nice.
I like it.
I like it when they do it for me.
Yeah, see, taco, I think there's too many touch points.
to a taco, I prefer to do that.
Whereas a burrito feels
different to me. I don't know. I don't reckon I could wrap it as well as those
artisans, do you? Really fires me up when I like get my
burrito and you can just tell all the gux in the one half because that's a bit colder.
That sheds me off. Amen.
Throw down. Amen. When you watch them,
I see Guzman, is that your favorite Mexican?
Yeah, it's a spot. Absolutely. You can't see them build.
No. Zambrero, my preferred, you watch them build.
Same with Mex.
And I reckon there's more pressure when you're watching and build dispersion of ingredients, better.
Gozzy, they're doing it behind closed doors.
Well, they only put the guck on one side of the burrito before they fold it.
Yeah, but if you put it in a normal strip, it should get a little bit of guack every bind.
Well, maybe that's what they're trained to do, but not all of them do them.
Have you had one of those cheeseburger tacos yet?
I don't want to try that.
I don't try it, man.
I haven't.
I haven't.
I haven't.
The cheeseburger spring roll, get in the bin.
No, get in my belly, bro.
I love it.
I went to a very fancy affair the other day.
And one of the counterpays, cheeseburger spring rolls.
I went, where am I, Boganville?
Wait, was I there?
I had one too.
Yeah, where was that?
It was fancy.
It was yamaz.
No, I refused.
Sorry, the one I had was in Sydney.
I was DJ.
Sorry, my bad.
I was a different event.
I was in heels and a dress.
Fucking cheeseburger spring roll.
Delicious, bro.
Give me a mushroom orangeini.
What the fuck cheeseburger spring roll.
Oh, okay.
So if that's what you want for two weeks.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Like today would have been taco chat.
Yeah.
That would have been in it.
And what do you think, Shagga?
I don't think the people would have enjoyed that.
That kind of vibe?
You hate us.
I think they enjoy it in the prelude to the rest of the show.
You might be a little bit more rude too.
You never know.
I think our podcast has an E on it anyway.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So we may as well.
We earned that E.
Ask Rowan's favorite position.
Uh, lie, I'm about.
They call the Starfish.
Starfish.
We would be a terrible couple.
None of us would ever do any work for each other.
Zero sex.
Just love.
You'd be a good tickler though.
I'd tickle you, tickle me.
We could just sit down, watch Homeland, tickle each other's arms.
Totally.
And argue over.
You didn't go long enough.
That's not with the argument anyway.
All right.
Have fun.
Goodbye.
It's going to be good.
It's going to be fine.
Anything could happen.
Most of it probably will.
That squawking fatty.
And Rowan.
Ah, you like what I did that.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Welcome to the Working Week.
Good morning, Jess.
50, 50 shows, 50 shows for us.
Yay.
Congratulations, everyone.
Yay.
That feels like a big milestone for the Jess and Rowan program.
That extends to obviously you shy guy, you bab.
Thank you.
Sweet Rowan.
Fifty shows behind the big stick after a short hiatus.
We're back, baby.
In this industry, you love and adore.
How's it felt?
Good.
My sleep is like finally back on.
Yes.
I was telling everyone on the weekend, it's finally my body's waking me up now.
Your dreamy browns are clear.
Thank you.
You know, your body has adapted.
It's like the metamorphoses has complete.
Totally.
Yep.
I'm like tired at the right time and I'm,
waking up, which is good. Yes.
And just fun with friends.
Oh, fun with friends.
When your job description is to giggle all day.
We giggling.
You walked in very aggressive this morning, though.
What are you doing here?
How'd you beat me?
You're never first.
I was like, so you're planning something.
I come in.
You're like, what do you mean?
Set my alarm 15 minutes earlier to come in because you are early.
Well, I thought something happened.
I was like, something's happened.
Why should be in my private life or something?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
No.
What had happened was.
You had shown such a taste for one of Shy Guys' dip and lollies.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
The joystick that I went and bought your two packets
and then wrote out Happy 50 shows in joysticks on your panel there.
Thank you.
Even though you walked in and said, what does he say?
Happy, sorry.
What are you apologising for?
Yeah, the 50 looked like a sew.
To be fair, I didn't know how to curb a joystick.
They're long and thin, kind of like Shy Guy.
Speaking of which, hello, Shai, Shagher.
Good morning.
How's your east up?
I got a foosball table.
Yeah, you did.
But that was to pay a bet.
That was nothing to do with the 50 show present.
You know, still a gift.
But Rowan, now we have the issue.
So I got you a little sum.
This was paying a bet for shy guy,
something he achieved last week.
And his first thing out of his mouth was,
what did Babs get?
What did Babs get?
Nothing.
Morning, Babs.
Good morning.
I gave her some of your leftover joystick.
Oh, nice.
Yeah, fair.
I've got so many of them here.
I've got her birthday present.
already sitting at home, but it's not until May.
I could have already.
So many joysticks here.
So many, 50 joysticks for 50 shows.
50 joysics for 50 shows.
Because you know what we've done for the past 50 shows?
Spread a little joy.
Totally.
Just a little joy.
Little joy.
Long and thin joy.
Yeah, long and thin joy.
But I hope everyone had a lovely Easter.
No one got stung with double demerits.
Oh, God.
Well, just, well, cross your fingers.
Take a week or two to come in, done.
But you know, sometimes the light flashes.
You know that?
I think that's a red light camera.
Not every camera, but yeah.
Oh, okay.
And it has to be at night, I guess, to really tell.
But we're here.
It's another short week.
Yeah, another short week.
And we have very big announcement a bit later on in the show.
We can't say yet.
Can't say yet.
It's embargoed.
Alpha bucks kids, we're doing that.
We can talk about that.
Register your kid.
Hit.com.com.
If your kid is a bit good at AlphaBucks, they can win a thousand dollars cash.
They play.
Yeah.
8 a.m. every day.
regular at 7.
You can just tell them it's 500.
bucks and you pocket down the 500.
Oh, that's not bad.
Or you can manipulate it.
We can stop mentioning that.
It's a thousand if you wish.
It's going towards this for you.
No.
Yep. High interest savings.
Thousand bucks is a PlayStation 5.
They can get that if they want it.
Do that come with a game?
Does your first PlayStation come?
Some packages do.
Yeah, yeah.
I would say yes, shy guy.
I would say yes.
Yeah.
Because really, if you...
I think you would get away with it.
If you buy me a PlayStation and I've never had a PlayStation before and no game, that's
half a present.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
I need a game.
Oh my God.
You know what I saw this morning?
You can get games online.
Like Fortnite.
That's free.
There you go.
Yeah, that's a little bit manipulative.
$790 right there for PlayStation 5 with Fortnite, but Fortnite's free anyway.
One terri.
So it's kind of a little bit of a cheap.
Do you get a skin or something?
Oh, God, that's like one of the supermarkets near my area.
It goes, avocados, two for seven, one for 350.
Guys, you can't act like that's a deal when underneath it says,
It's so rude and mean.
It's so rude.
So rude and mean.
Did you know I saw this morning that they're considering like, you know, remember GameStop?
GameStop's like America's EB games.
Sure.
The PS3, the Wii, and there was another.
Oh, Xbox 360, they're now considering retro gaming control.
I've got some of those.
Retros.
What do you mean?
No, no, no.
Super Nintendo is retro.
Same thing.
PS3.
Are you?
A third.
So the PlayStation.
One, two, and now three.
Thank you.
I don't have numbers work.
I meant there's been three different Playtasters are now all retro.
So the PlayStation 4 is going, oh, now I'm next.
Made me feel a little sick to.
What PlayStation are we up to?
Five.
Hang on.
Now that's the thing.
Three is retro, but we're only on five.
Yeah, then there's four.
It's like we're on the iPhone.
Yeah, but then they come out like once every 12 years.
Yeah.
I'll sort like an iPhone.
Not like an iPhone.
Yeah, I like an iPhone.
Oh, okay.
understood, that makes me feel very old.
I'm on J.B. High Fy. Where do I get that controller show?
I want that hyperpop one. I want that hyperpop one.
Oh yeah, me too. You might have to take this off line now.
The blue one? Yeah, I want the green one do.
Birthday's in June, guys.
Horny.
Bats, get them off the J.B. website. We'll be here all day.
All right, next. Paul McCarty. He's been banned from Reddit.
Maybe too much porn. No, it wasn't.
He refused to put it. He's furious, though, because now he doesn't get to see the porn.
He has to put his ID, and he's like, do you know who I am?
Jess and Rowan.
Good weather, next.
This is Jess and Rowan.
In about 20 minutes, we're going to do a thing where Jess tells everyone about a press release she got.
So I can't wait to hear about that.
It's exciting press release.
I was looking at the shit going, how do I hook this?
And I went, you know what?
I was going to read what it says.
Jess, press release on school uniforms.
Audio kids.
Do you know what?
Okay, listen.
Look forward to that.
A lot of conversation about you over the weekend, Rowan.
People going, how's Rowland?
Not yet.
Not yet.
How's Ron going?
How's the news show going?
They all know me.
What do you mean?
How they go.
That's what they're asking. Like how we're going.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It was all complimentary, don't worry.
Listen, you tell Ashley.
Back straight.
Because it was a lot of radio kids.
Exactly.
They know.
So they're asking.
One of my things, literally, this is our niche I was getting about you.
Oh, he's great at hooking the content coming up.
That, not your best.
If anything, I think people would go, hmm.
You think it's intriguing?
What is she going to say?
Okay.
Maybe it's a really good hook.
Well, find out.
Now, before 630, I'll read your press release.
Yeah, guys, read the press release.
As we're all on school holidays, actually, maybe we should hold it to when...
Oh, nah.
I think we do it today.
Yeah, bro.
Maybe we hold this straight away.
Speaking of holding it.
Paul McCartney has been banned from Reddit.
What are you doing, Paul?
Sorry, you mean Paul McCartney famous for being in the band wings?
Yeah, as Babs said.
Oh, my, you know, Babs was in here before, guys, and she said,
oh my god you know pornocati you can get a song because he was in that band and he did she pause and we all went
you felt jess and rowan and shy guy all go we're about to tear you and you where if you think we don't know
which band are you thinking she went wings he went oh yeah okay i didn't know that didn't know that
has been banned from reddit after a technical error apparently okay interesting uh he he
wanted to share come with me on this paul mccartney getting banned for porn journey
That's not it.
It's not it.
I made it up.
He tried to share photos on Reddit from his show.
And he would try to make...
The Wings concert?
No, just...
Well, I think it's just a Paul McCartney's own show.
Oh, so he's dumped the Beatles, dumped wings.
And now he's like, I can stand on my own two feet.
Yep, totally.
He's been on that for a while, though.
Yeah, okay.
And instead of sharing the photos, good old granddad has shared a dropbox link on a subreddit.
and for some reason they've like Reddit has just went oh this is like spam or not right
banned Paul McCartney it's Paul McCartney I mean to be fair I don't want celebrities getting special
treatment I like that I like that they went if anyone did that you'd get banned
this is it classic it's like everyone's granddad would get banned doing something to just trying
to help like hey guys I'm just trying to share a bit of love from the Paul McCartney live on tour
he tried to get people to not use their phones so he was like I'll share so many photos so you have
some photos to share. Oh, so it's almost like he had hired
profession, like at weddings. When I'm a
celebrant, I go, this is an unplug ceremony.
Unplug ceremony. You know, Rowan
and Lucy have hired a wonderful group of videographers
and photographers. So you can be present in this
moment with us. Literally. That's what Paul
tried to do. He goes, I'll give you the images.
Instead of just putting them up like he should,
he did a drop boxing so people could choose or something
and they went, no. But also we're acting
like it's Paul McCartney on the Paul
McCartney socials. Surely he would have
teams of people.
Yeah, the admin of that. The admin.
of the subreddit said,
to give a little more context,
the account in question.
Paul McCartney's with the blue tick.
Was temporarily restricted
due to a routine security step
that requires the account holder
to reset the password, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Just to be clear,
the mods Hayer had nothing to do with this
and never banned Sir Paul.
Oh, okay, that's right.
So Grandad did what Grandad does
and just got the tech wrong.
Got the tech wrong.
And now Reddit have apologized to Sir Paul.
And he got it wrong.
And he's back on.
Imagine being in that part of the world.
You just get things wrong.
People apologise to you because you got it wrong.
Yeah.
You know why?
Because he was in the band Wings.
A bit of respect.
Wings.
He's also with the Jackson Five.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Guys, breaking news, Jess has a press release.
Sent to her email that she wishes to read now.
Crossing live to Jess Martini in the chair across from me, opposite the camera.
My mate, Carmen, from the University of Newcastle,
Carmen?
Carmen.
Carmen.
Carmen daily.
Carmen, get it.
Carmen must be the hardest working woman at the uni man.
She says me a press release like daily.
Really?
And if I'm honest with you, Rowan.
Okay.
I was this close to unsubscribing.
Really?
Because sometimes Carmen's emails, they don't quite slap.
I was going to say, should we get a Carmen check every morning?
What's Carmen sent today?
Maybe we could.
Well, tell me if you like this.
We'll go from there.
And then we could go from there.
I was this close because I'm obviously, you know, being in broadcasting.
I'm obviously on a few mailing lists.
I get a lot of press releases.
I get a lot of authors are coming to town
or there's a new podcast you might want to talk to the hose
or there's a new study that's been done.
Free books.
You get a lot of free books.
I do get a free.
You read though.
I do, but we're going to have to do one of those author chats soon
because I've done nothing in return.
Who cares?
There's any of them.
I don't care.
But yeah, Carmen sends me a lot.
And I go, that's not quite right for the Jess and Rowan program.
Sorry, Carmen.
However,
at least you reply to them.
I never reply to them.
Oh, no, that's just in my heart.
I feel that.
Shy guy would get ten times more than all of us, sir.
Sorry.
Some I reply to.
That's why sometimes I'm like, why am I on these mailing lists and not shy guy?
But I'm glad I got this one because I don't know if this came across your inbox.
Probably.
And if it did, I don't reckon you would have brought it to the show.
Why haven't brought it up?
What is the headline?
Jeff Fartier crossing live now.
A University of Newcastle study.
Yep.
In partnership with the Hunter New England local health districts,
population health
has said we should let kids
wear their school uniform every day.
Don't they?
They do that.
No, they don't.
School uniform?
At school?
Did I say school uniform?
My bad.
Did you read the press release wrong?
I left out a very important word.
Okay, no, no, start again.
Run it back.
Crossing live now through Despart Cheney.
In front of the camera on the other side of the desk
with an important news update for kids.
The University of Newcastle study
in partnership with the Hunter New England Local Health Districts,
population health, have come out and said,
children should be allowed to wear their PE uniform every day.
Okay, okay.
Love you, Carmen.
We didn't need this on the show.
Don't you think?
I thought that was a fantastic study, and I'm all for it.
I went to a Catholic primary school, private Catholic girls' school.
Uniform was like the biggest deal ever.
It was so restrictive.
I had to wear the stupid tunic, the blazer, the hat, all that nonsense.
PE uniform, way better.
And this new research is saying, if we let the kids actually be more comfortable,
maybe where their PE uniform every day, promote physical activity.
A third of Australian kids are not getting the required physical activity in their daily.
Beth, they're wearing the PE uniform.
They'll be more active.
They'd be more likely to run around.
at recess or lunch, they'd be more likely to participate in the programs that the school is running for the curriculum.
I just thought that was wonderful from Carmen.
I'm really all for that.
Me too.
Good on you, Carmen.
It's all about equity, inclusivity, gender equality.
Maybe these schools need to put a little bit more work and a little bit more thought into what the uniform is.
Yes.
That it makes kids more active, not just look ridiculous.
Yes.
Did you have a strict school uniform policy?
Kind of.
Oh, yeah, actually, at a high school, yes.
Yes, because you went to a Catholic school.
school as well? No. No, public
as. Even the shoes, man. It is not
conducive to physical activity. All we end up doing
at recess and lunch, sitting on our arses,
chit-chatting. And that's nice for a sense
of community. But not for activity
when you're 13, 14. We could wear
any black shoes. So that if they
were like, they were like, you know. They could have been sneakers
comfortable. And they were.
Yes. Even the idea, so many
of my girlfriends started dropping off doing
PA. We all started making excuses. Oh,
I've got my period. Mr. Reid. I can't run.
I can't do swimming.
And then you just lose that sort of love of physical activity.
All the girls sit in the back to pretend and not to vape in the corner.
100%.
We've all got fake letters from our parents.
I'm happy for Jesse got to sit this one out and I'll scribble one.
Yeah, what teachers fall in for that, by the way?
Oh my God.
They all do because I don't think they want to put up a fight.
Yeah, no worries.
Whereas Carmen's new research, I'm giving her all the credit.
Let him wear the PIA uniform every day.
I like it. I'm all for it.
Okay. We'll do a Carmen check tomorrow.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Yesterday.
No, Sunday.
You were yelling.
I mean, mostly yelling.
I was DJing spinning the ones and twos on the wheels of steel.
Is that what the in the know people say?
Spinning the ones and twos.
Like Neo in the Matrix.
Yeah.
Oh, he was more zeros and ones.
He was zeros and ones, yeah.
And they were up and down.
That's right.
It wasn't spinning them.
That was already confusing that movie.
It's a good one, though.
So I'm still confused about the movie.
Me too.
This reference is confusing.
I'm actually confused about we're doing now.
Oh, yes.
You were spinning the ones and twos.
So I DJed like a...
It doesn't you doing whiz and wheeze.
Funny that.
That is actually where the story's going.
Shut up.
This is how in sync we are.
Yeah, exactly.
I've inadvertently given you a segue.
I don't even know what you're talking about.
Exactly.
I'm also wearing a G-string.
So, yesterday I did...
Sunday.
I DJed a festival called Made on Sunday.
Great, great festival in Newcastle.
Two stages.
Big one outside.
Big one inside.
I was playing outside.
He loves the open air.
Love the open air.
It was very cool.
There was like a VIP area because it was about 14, 13, 14 different DJs.
So we had like an area with like some separate portaloos and stuff, which is great.
Nice.
See, it's about poo.
Don't have to.
Don't have to go wee with the riffraff.
Thank God.
It's normally because the line is so long.
Absolutely.
And if you've got a set to actually make, you can't be waiting in line.
Where's the next DJ?
Oh, he's waiting in line to go tinkle.
Yeah.
He's having a poo behind the board of loo because it's just taking too long.
All right?
That's all right, by the way.
Never mind.
So there was a VAP area.
It was like in this little room, but like people that weren't, didn't have the pass or the wristband were getting in there.
And they were using those poor loose because they were quicker.
So by the time I get there, a bit of a line.
So I'm waiting in the line.
You know who you need?
You need the flight attendants who separate the cattle class from the business class because no one gets past them.
Well, there was security there, but they didn't care.
Oh, that didn't.
You know, standard vibes.
Yeah.
So I'm waiting in line my buddy Michael.
And we're there.
it's going very slow.
Then it kind of stops.
I'm not paying any attention.
And I see the guys in front of me going like,
hands up, like, oh.
And some of them were pretending to like bang on the door,
but they weren't like, oh, whoever's in there needs to hurry out.
And the other one wasn't really moving,
but the other one kind of was, but this one wasn't really moving.
Someone's in there scrolling.
And then they were kind of like pretending to like open it.
Like it's got people out the front of it.
So I walked up and I get my foot and I go, bang, bang and kick the door.
And I go, hurry up!
I had a few beers.
And then...
No.
And then within seconds, it goes, funk, open a green.
Three girls walk out.
I knew them too.
I knew them.
Do I know them?
No, I don't reckon.
Maybe one of them.
And they were like, that was you.
We know your voice.
And I was like, ladies, ladies, keep it moving.
Absolutely.
I don't care if all three if you go in there and watch each other go wee-wee-wee.
But don't be chatting and reapplying a lip-closs in me.
The line goes crazy.
They start cheering.
Yes.
They were like, thank you.
And they were like, we had to finish what we had to finish.
And I was like, the fact I kicked the door and you opened immediately means you were just in there gas bagging.
Means no one was in there with their undies down.
It means you were already.
Yeah, one of the girls, Poppy was like, I had to pull it up and finish.
I was like, no, no, you were clearly done.
Don't name names.
I don't care, mate.
You know, I don't care.
Poppy, Lacey, you never go.
I don't know.
I respect that.
There is an element of being a part of society.
If you have waited in a queue to get anywhere, order food, use the bathroom.
Take it apart.
I think unfortunately we live in a world where people go, I waited in the queue,
which means I'm now going to milk my time.
No, thanks.
No, concerts, row.
We stand in the line for ages.
People, I hear, they'll open their bags.
They're not getting a tampon.
They're getting their phone.
There's not time to be scrolling.
Yep, not at all.
They were just having a good time.
Which is fine.
Have a good time elsewhere.
A couple people in front of me went, and they were just dudes.
The people in front of me were just dudes.
They quickly did their ones.
I was going to say they didn't let you go first.
I would have thought if you have gotten them out, you get to jump the queue.
Hey, I'm mad at the people.
I don't mind.
Let them go.
That's nice.
I get in there.
Oh, mate, within three seconds.
Kick, get, get in there.
People around the things just kicking the shit out of it.
I was like, go away.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Rowan, you and I both, big fans of the Graham.
Yep.
Would you say it's your most.
used of social media.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Instagram is for sure.
But it is a free platform.
Yeah.
Up until now, would you ever consider paying to unlock some services on Instagram?
Potentially.
I think people that pay for the tick are a bit tragic, but...
Depends what it is.
It depends if there's services.
I could potentially pay for.
Meta is about to introduce Instagram Plus, and it is a paid monthly subscription.
Yeah.
I just feel like I'm not.
I get enough out of it.
What am I paying for?
Yeah, that's the thing.
You know what I'm saying?
I guess this is another press release.
I'm just full of them today.
It's not from my mate Carmen at the University of Newcastle.
We've got another press release.
I didn't want to say it, but half of what we do is press release.
Okay.
That's true.
It is.
That's ruined my fun.
Babs put this one on my desk.
In a complete game changer for stalkers, I know what that is.
Stans.
I know what that is.
It's like fans of something, right?
Super fans, yep.
I think so.
Stan.
Stan?
Yeah.
Put this word.
And the ops.
I don't know what that means.
So I'll have to read.
Babs, what does that?
Stalkers stands and the ops.
Oppositions.
Enemies.
Enemies.
I guess there's difference of stalkers, isn't it?
Oh, did you know that?
Oh, mate.
I thought that was pretty obvious.
The ops.
I thought everyone knew ops.
04,000, W.8, W.1.169.
Did you know ops?
If I read that, when I read it, I thought opportunities.
That's funny.
That's great.
in the complete game change of a stalker, stands and the ops.
Yeah, nice, nice.
Meta is trialling this new subscription services.
So what you're going to be able to do?
Yeah.
Highlighted the wrong thing.
Oh, guys.
Ability to create multiple story audiences.
What does that mean?
Perfect if you need the roster to clock the fit.
This is in a different language.
Oh, Babs has rewritten it.
Babs is rewritten it in the Babbs words.
Story rewatch insights.
What's that mean?
So, like, I think it means if someone, like, goes...
You know, when you, like, scroll through the stories?
Yep.
Yep, I do that.
If you scroll backwards to, like, look at it again.
It tells you that someone's done that.
Oh, so if you do that to mine, you watch it for that 30 seconds or whatever.
But then you want to watch it again.
That's dangerous.
Me as the user, as the creator goes...
And you hold on your finger and it pauses it.
It tells you how much time that they've done that for.
Oh, my God, but if I've got...
Oh, hopefully they don't get to see if you zoom.
Bad.
There was no definition on that or not.
Fantastic.
Oh, my God.
Okay, I highlighted the right bit, guys.
We can keep going.
A search option for your story viewer list.
Oh, I know.
When people, you're checking us see if your ex has watched your stories.
You just have to scroll through.
Yep, yeah, yeah.
But now you can just go, all right, is Darren watching?
There he is.
I know that's his handle.
Classic down.
The option to extend your Instagram story duration.
We know that traditionally they're 24 hours with Instagram plus, the paid subscription,
48 hours.
Interesting.
Do you need a story up for 40?
No, you don't.
Do you need to see the scroll A8 for two days?
No.
If you missed it on Tuesday, you've missed it.
Does it have a price there, how much is going to cost?
Instagram Plus is available in both the Philippines.
It's not even relevant price.
For 65 PHB.
They're trialing.
Well, I have, okay.
And Mexico.
How many pesos?
That's got it in AUD.
Why do I have it in PhB for the Philippines?
But in Mexican, I have 315.
month. That's pretty cheap.
But to add up, to what, extend
my stories to 48 hours?
Oh, sorry, I left this one out.
Rowan, you can super heart
someone's stories. That's worth
paying for.
Did you say the anonymous thing?
I think that's the biggest part.
That's not on here. What is this on anonymous?
Ability to spotlight your story?
No, there's a part of it where you can
anonymously watch stories.
That's not on my dot points, bro.
Where'd you learn that? That was the headline.
What?
Oh, it is the headline.
Why it's not in the dot points?
It's in the headline.
Are we so for real right now?
Mehta is trialing a new Instagram.
Is that what this is?
This is a terrible sheet.
No, it's a terrible deliverance.
This is the worst sheet I've ever seen.
No, I would argue, Babs.
And I'm not blaming you, Dole.
I'm blaming whoever wrote the article.
Pedestrian.
You're absolutely right, Shagga.
The headline is Mehta is trialing a new Instagram subscription
that allows you to stalk stories anonymously.
But in the breakdown of the five dot points,
it doesn't re-say that.
So they gave you, hang on, so they gave you the Philippine peso.
Yep, and Mexican.
But then they only gave you the AUD in Mexican?
In Mexican. Oh, wow, okay.
Half a job.
Well, that's the people like pedestrian slash channel nine, so.
Oh, okay, trying to start some beef or something, Shriver?
We're in by seven.
Do you want, do you want to stalk people's stories anonymously?
That's weird.
Well, if you want to look at people and not let them know that you're looking at them.
That's weird.
Is that worth $3 a month?
No.
Some people would pay.
$3.
That is it?
I wasn't listening at.
all. Really? Is that it?
Mexican. In Mexican?
$3.50. I don't know if that's the similar.
Wait, wait. The three pesos is just three Australian dollars?
I don't know.
No, no, it's not in peso. I said they gave the equivalent AUD for Mexico, which is $3.15.
That'd be like...
It'd be similar to Snapchat Plus.
What's that?
I don't know.
There's the sheet on that. I've just Googled it.
Oh, my God.
It says it's like Snapchat Plus.
Hey, if you guys want to win $415,000 Philippine Peso, call now.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Alfa Buc.
Jess and Rowan's 10K alpha bucks on hit.
Oh, you're damn right.
Way at 7 o'clock this morning.
We have the great Kev.
Good day, Kevin.
Hey, Jess and Rowan, how are you guys?
Good.
Hey, Kev, we couldn't be better.
We're celebrating 50 shows today.
What's going on in your life?
Oh, congrats on the 50 show.
Thank you.
Thanks, brother.
I'm expecting a baby in about a week's time, I reckon.
That's exciting as well.
Amazing.
Are we waiting for, like, spontaneous.
Labor, Kev. It could be any minute.
Any minute, so I might have to run off this call.
Okay, good to know. Good to know. Lucky the game only goes for 30 seconds.
We'll get you the 10 grand. And what a way to welcome. Is this your first?
It is, yes. Oh, what an exciting time. All right. Do you know if you're having a little boy, a little girl?
Yeah, we're having a little boy. Okay, so maybe you'd like to consider names like Callum, maybe Christopher.
Corey. Possibly Corey. All these names start with the letter C, Kev, and that's what you're going to be playing.
with today. Definitely. I'll give it a consideration for sure. Okay, if you actually call your kids something
we see, will you let us know in a week or a fortnight or so?
100% well-do. Very good. All right. All right, Kev, your time will start after the first question.
Starting with the letter C, we need you to name. A chip flavour.
C-Cs. A DJ.
Pass. A pantry item. Chicken salt. An insect.
Cricket.
Something in the bathroom.
Clothes.
A band?
A cure.
An adjective.
Cruise.
A superhero.
Damn.
I got three there.
Well, thank you for the early apology.
I appreciate the early apology.
No 10 grand for a little baby.
Yeah, chip flavor, chicken or cheese and onion, not the brand.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Could have said cheese.
Could have said cheese.
Cs, you know.
Calvin Harris is a DJ.
could have cold play,
Creep for a band.
You said, The Cure.
Yeah, that's a thing
we implemented a while ago.
We take the...
As a tea.
And an adjective?
I don't realize that way.
I said it.
Adjective, you said Cruz,
my darling.
That would be either a noun
or a verb.
You gave us a double whammy
for the wrong category.
Never good at English at school.
Me either, mate.
We've got to do that video,
wrong.
I'm going to put it on the socials,
the difference between the noun,
the adjective and the adverb.
We need to help the people.
Good idea, good idea.
Oh, Kevin.
Sorry, braced you so much.
Sorry, we couldn't get you the money champion, but good luck with the baby.
Thanks, guys.
Thanks for letting us have a shot.
Good on you, dude.
Good on you.
Of course.
Thank you.
Eight o'clock today, Alpha Bucks Kids, the first kid off the rank playing at 8 o'clock
if you think your kid's good hit.com.
Dot com.
Get them playing and we are back.
Yeah, with Alpha Bucks regular tomorrow.
Seven o'clock, guys.
Next, age old debate.
Ice cream in a cone or a cup.
You don't want to do the blog first.
We could do us, Graham, but Babbs is waiting outside in the Wimps.
I knew. I knew that was one too many on the weekend.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, Babs is podcast.
This is Jess and Rowan.
And this is my blog.
Commence Operation Superstar Brat.
Wimcical.
Ah, she's back.
The Queen of Wimsy.
I'm back. Hello.
Looking particularly whimsical today.
Thank you.
Yeah, far middle Wimsy Top.
Yeah, it's got tomatoes on it.
Tomatoes.
I love when you.
wear food. I did think you would like it this morning. I do very much.
Babs, how are you? How was your long weekend? It was good. Did a lot of reflecting and chilling out.
Realise that I'm a big incompetent idiot and my dad's letting me get away with it. Oh, my dad.
Damo? Yes. I've just come to the conclusion actually that I've got like zero street smarts
and I probably shouldn't be living alone. You don't live alone. Well, as in away from your parents.
From my parents, 40 minutes away, because it's stressful.
Because you are an intelligent woman.
Book smart.
I would think, I'd like to hope so.
Yeah.
I know stupid things, like random things.
Like Paul McCartney's in wings.
Yeah, yeah.
But, you know, like don't know how to turn on a hose properly sometimes or something.
Like that's an example.
Bad example.
So lefty, lucy, righty-tide.
Stuff like that.
Okay, what happened that made you go demo?
Oh, it's just kind of accumulated over the past couple months.
months, but I have come, I've realized that I only call my dad when there's a problem.
Oh.
Which is actually quite mean.
It is.
Yes.
Did he flag it or no, you caught yourself.
Because now when he answers the phone, it's like, what's wrong now?
No, hello.
She's not calling a catch-up.
Yeah, what have you done now?
What did you do?
Well, I've written down some things that I've called him for the past couple months.
And they're just stupid.
I need to actually stop doing that.
Please share with the group.
I tripped the power the other day because I was cooking hot cross buns
and boiling the kettle at the same time.
Instead of just walking out to the box and seeing which switch needed to be flicked,
called dad.
And it was just the one switch that needed to be flicked.
I think how bigger issue is that your house can't support a kettle and toasting hot cross buns.
That's what I thought too.
That's a bigger issue.
I reckon you get a pass for that.
It's the world telling me to stop being a big fatty.
Anyway.
It's Easter.
Okay, we're going to have all other conversations.
You're allowed to have a H-CB, babe.
Yeah, you're okay, darling.
And a cup of tea.
Yeah, no, that's what I was doing.
It was really good.
Just H-B, H-Sembing, crying in the dark.
I was...
Daddy.
I can't see anything.
Turn the light on, babe.
You know what's whimsical, though,
eating a H-C-B by candlelight.
That's so true.
Very whimsical.
I was trying to start our whippersnipper the other day.
You shouldn't be around power tools.
No, no, no.
Not with your track, right?
Turns out it had no petrol in it, but...
Sorry.
call dameau
and get on FaceTime
for him to be like
dull there's no petrol in that
anyway I gotta give you a pass for that one as well
I wouldn't know a whippersnivber sniver
I only just found out that like the mower
is a two-stroke mower
so you have to put a different oil in the petrol
sorry our whippersippers like too
too hard for me
I'll give you past that one that's alright
I reckon you're fine yeah
there was sun reflecting on my car
the other day
no
and it made
your outdoor transform
Wait, this is how stupid thing.
Sorry, my fault.
There was sun reflector in my car and it was making the back light look like it was on.
And I was like, and I was like, why is it not turning off?
Call Dad.
Are you sure it's not the sun?
I was like, no, it's not the sun.
He said it.
Are you sure it's not the sun?
I said, I've cut my hand around it.
It's like it's not turning off.
I've looked it up.
I'm going to have to bring it to you.
Anyway, the sun went down.
It was the sun.
I sent him a photo of a PowerPoint the other day.
That's clearly broken.
Like, there's all chips out of it saying, is this a worry?
Yes, Billy, it's a worry.
Just call the, yeah, anyway, that's what I don't know.
You just call the landlord.
I just got to call the landlord.
I don't know what dad's going to do, but.
Does your dad answer you with the same love and affection all the time?
Yes.
Or are you hearing the dismay and disappointment eke out?
No, he answers it with love.
Mostly he laughs because he thinks it's stupid.
Yes.
But I've just pulled.
myself up on it instead I actually need to stop doing that.
We should start doing these pranks with your old man on the radio.
Like we could do the ones like, hey, they got me to put the premium air.
When I did that to my dad, I reckon, you and I cut from a similar cop, I did that to my dad and he went into, oh, Jessica, okay, so let me explain something to you.
Air is free.
You didn't need to pay for that sweetheart.
And I apologize that I haven't taught you.
It was his fault.
He took the blame.
I went, well, this isn't funny, dad.
All the other dads on Instagram have like blown up about it.
But a girl always needs her father.
I know.
I reckon Dame, I would actually love that.
My little girl needs me.
Yeah, but it's just silly at this morning.
Come on.
Okay, good.
Okay, great.
So what I'm hearing is either you move back home
until you're ready to fly the nest again.
Or we just, I don't know, start calling Rowan for advice.
Yeah, maybe.
Don't call me, mate, no way.
This is Jess and Rowan.
Now, some inconsistency here.
You know, there's been that rocket ship to the moon.
Yes.
I haven't really followed it.
I'll be honest.
I've just seen it go in the air.
And I was like, cool, people are going to the moon again.
I started seeing headlines and clips of an astronaut.
I went, why are we talking to these astronauts?
And then I went, oh, they've sent people up.
Shy guy was saying that it's like the furthest anyone's been from Earth.
Yep.
They're currently the furthest.
And they've gone on the longest.
We, Bads and I was watching the launch on Thursday after the show.
Thank you.
Is that how you're going to be?
clock your 40-hour work week, you allegedly do.
No, it was a shorter week.
You allegedly.
So pardon me, we've sent people to the moon, allegedly.
Have they shot past the moon?
That's why they're the furthest.
This is like a recomb recon mission.
Because this is Artemis 2.
I don't know about Artemis 1, but Artemis 2 is going like around it and coming back.
Artemis 3 is going to land on the moon.
Just for fun, doing moon blockies?
What the hell are?
You know, like, the ocean swims where they have to go around the buoy?
Is that like what they're doing with the moon?
Yeah.
They've shot the rock and they go, oh, move the moon.
Let's see how fast we can go.
guys around the moon.
Yeah, I've got no desire.
You've got any desire.
None.
None.
I'd love to know if there was aliens.
Yeah, I would like to know.
I would like to know.
Yeah, they don't need to be here.
Deep ocean and deep space.
If there were aliens here, I would for sure.
I don't know.
I've gone to deep space. They're just going to the moon.
Space, all right?
Open water and space.
Yeah, if you're past the atmosphere, you're in deep space.
You're in deep space.
I can see shy guy getting on the Virgin Galactic.
Yeah.
You know?
If you had a spare two.
250 grand.
I can see you booking a seat with Planson.
That feels cheap, though.
I'm pretty sure that too much it was.
I think it's a bit more.
Was that Bezos's?
No,
remember he was doing like commercial.
Yeah,
I remember it was $2.250.
I swear it wasn't.
It feels cheap, man.
To go to space.
You could do a house deposit.
It's $750,000.
750 feels a bit more heat.
The first two went $250 and $300 because they weren't sure if it was going to work on.
See, I knew there was $250,000.
Oh, my God.
They've got it down pat.
It's about a million bucks.
Oh, so they go.
go, all right, we can get you back alive.
No one's going on it.
Well, there was news that there was about halfway
to the moon, this Artemis 2.
They had to fix the space toilet.
Apparently, there was problems with it.
Do you understand how skillful and intelligent
you have to be to be an astronaut?
Because not only Dee need to know the aerospace
physics and all that stuff,
but you need to do mechanics for the actual rocket.
Because once you're up there and you break down,
there's no NRMA.
You've got to be a plumber as well.
Yeah, they had an issue with dumping.
the waste out of the toilet so the guy, the astronauts up there had to fix it.
Has the urine was freezing?
Frozen urine, correct, shy guy.
Now, this is not the first rocket that's been up there.
This can't be the first toilet.
Yeah.
So how did, they've never had to experience frozen urine before?
Well, that was the fault.
It was freezing.
Well, yeah, I guess, I guess not.
They had to rotate.
They actually rotated the rocket to face the sun.
Oh, de-frost.
To defrost the wee.
How long does it take we to de-froze?
It does. I just says, I don't know.
They said mission control said the toilet was a go after they fixed it, but for fecal use only.
That's funny.
Can't go wee, we can't go poo-poo.
Sebastian, why are you going number one or two?
Are they keeping it on the ship, or are they pushing it out?
I think they push it out.
That's what all that space waste is.
It's just frozen astronaut business.
I've got the aliens up there just looking at us and goes, oh my God, these idiots.
Well, you know how we have a goal of people who litter?
because you're going to pollute the ocean and a turtle will get a nose,
a straw stuck up his nose.
That's what we're doing to the aliens in space.
They're like, you're littering in our playground.
God, they hate us.
They would hate us.
Thank God they're not here.
Not one that we've made friends yet.
I have a real problem with aliens here, I reckon.
I'd fully discriminate.
Only aliens.
I love all my people.
Not the aliens.
But if you...
You wouldn't learn a bit of alien on duo lingo
so you could communicate better with our fellow species,
creature.
I would do it just to yell at them.
Not really.
That's a joke.
If they're taking too long in the Borderloon.
Absolutely.
This is Jess and Rowan.
We have a big announcement.
We have a big announcement.
Big winning.
You know,
we do the winning.
We do so much winning.
Congrats to that chick who won,
Live the Dream, by the way.
You might have seen that video
on the Carrie and Tommy socials.
You know, obviously the thing we did for
a thousand weeks.
Yeah, too long.
Carrie and Tommy called the winner on Thursday.
Oh, congratulations.
The holiday, but the winning doesn't stop.
Was it one of our people?
I don't think so.
I don't care then.
I couldn't care.
I only care for our people.
No, that's very, very justified.
Oh, they're probably from Melbourne because I'm like, oh, I couldn't be a fox.
I didn't actually catch where she was from, because they had the crew outside her house,
so they filmed her walking down her driveway.
I bet it was regional Victoria.
I bet they're like, oh, give it someone in Victoria.
It was Sydney and her name was Cherie.
Congrats, Cherie.
Congrats, Cherie.
Congrats, Cherie.
Shire's got, you know what?
fault.
Sheree may still be able to hear the show.
Yeah, we bleed through.
I've got friends sitting there and say they listen to the show on the radio in their car.
There you go.
Why would you...
Apologies for throwing up so much shade so fast.
So you know what? Cherie might be one of our people.
Hey, good on you, Sheree.
I'm proud of you, babe.
And sorry to the other people who had entered thousands and thousands of times.
We tried, guys.
We did.
But the winning doesn't stop.
As you say, Rowan.
Big announce after eight.
Alpha Bucks kids.
And of course, Cooker of the Week.
get involved in the show.
I would like to ask you now,
what did you worry about?
What consumed you?
And then you realised maybe I didn't need to worry about that.
For me, it's in the parenting realm.
But I guess this could extend to anything.
You know, the joy of hindsight is going, geez,
that really was all consuming.
You know, something for me, high school.
Like, I thought that was the be all end all.
I was one of those stressed 17-year-olds.
And then you go, there are many pathways.
to get to where you want to bed.
That's one thing I wish I didn't care about was school.
Same.
My parents were very, very education focused.
Yeah, yeah.
Just good in a way.
Same, same.
Yeah.
But I was such a stressed kid.
Mm.
And you go, you know what?
Pump the brakes a little bit.
But for me, over the weekend, Rowan,
I had a bit of advice and I had a couple of people going,
I think you need to take a chill pill, Jess.
Oh, doing the wiggles.
And you know, and you know how that really just works when people go,
I think you should calm down.
Yeah, you love being told to calm down.
I love being told to calm down.
I love that.
Particularly when it comes to calm down.
the well-being of my child. Yeah, tell me to calm down.
I was very lucky, very lucky to spend the long weekend in the Gold Coast with one of my best
mates. We were at a surprise 40th and we made a bit of a girls trip out of it.
My husband had a little bit of work and a little bit of play on the agenda.
Yeah, we shared a couple of bruskees.
You did, you did. And he works hard, that boy, so we've got to fill the social cup every now and then.
You got to do it. You got to do it.
And we are unbelievably lucky.
very, very blessed to have great grandparent help.
And this is parents, with never a hesitation, we'll have her for the weekend.
Oh, the weekend.
Thank you.
Have I made it clear how grateful I am?
Very grateful.
Now get to the bad part.
Part of my handover notes when the grandparents took the sweet angel baby.
Handover notes?
Hand over notes.
To someone who's their own blood.
Yeah.
Yeah, but she changes every week, Role.
And there's other things on the to-do list and behaviours that just maybe needs to be across.
Fair enough.
One of them is we're brushing teeth now.
She didn't lose to brush teeth?
Well, she didn't have teeth.
Now we've got a full set of chompas.
We're brushing teeth.
Of course.
She's a baby, Roan.
Let's remember.
My apology.
Things develop, things change.
Grandparents don't often do put downs because they, you know, do day shifts.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you got it for four nights.
We're brushing teeth, guys.
I've packed the bluey toothbrush.
I've packed the blueie toothpaste.
We're brushing teeth.
Yep, good one.
Now, I made it very clear.
She does not like it.
But we've got to do it.
We've got to do it.
Not only for oral hygiene, but about routine.
Yeah, yeah, you've got to do it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Night one, I message from the Gold Coast.
How's the teeth?
How was dinner?
How's the day been?
How'd we go with brushing teeth?
And I get the response.
We abandoned it because she didn't like it.
And I said, one night.
Well, what do we say?
What do we say?
We said she wouldn't like it.
But I also go, all right.
It's one night.
Okay.
Yeah, that's all right.
Night two.
How was the day?
What's for dinner?
How'd we go brushing the teeth?
Nah, we didn't.
No, that's not on.
Not on.
She put up a bit of a resistance.
You know why she put up resistance?
Because she knew the night before.
She put it resistant.
Didn't have to do it.
So she would have got even harder.
So Roe and I then send a message.
To Angus.
No, no.
To them.
In the chat.
Let's go.
Mom's on.
In the chat.
And I just said, totally appreciate that guys.
It's tough.
You might have to consider losing favorite people status and pin her down.
Yeah, brushing her teeth.
You've got to do it.
Next night.
How'd you go?
We didn't do it.
And I'll start getting, then I start messaging Angus.
Listen, man.
Can you call them?
Listen, man.
And he gives me with the, it's not that big of a deal.
And tries to tell me there'd be kids out there who don't brush their teeth.
I don't care what other kids are doing.
It is a big deal.
It is a big deal.
We are a family of perfect teethers.
Angus has had braces.
I've had braces.
We've got perfect teeth in this family.
Well, kind of.
Well, as in,
we've worked together.
Because they're straight.
Doesn't mean they're perfect.
Mine are perfect.
Excuse me?
No, you were born with perfect.
Oh, thank you.
It's different levels of perfect.
But what I'm saying is oral hygiene.
No, I agree with you.
And a...
In a down.
Smile.
This is what we do.
This is what we do.
Before we go to bed, we brush our teeth.
Doesn't matter that you're only two.
Yeah.
Thank you, Rowland.
Sorry.
I'm not getting through.
I need some advice.
Yeah.
So I can't go,
up to the grandparents who were at this 40th with me.
This would be good.
All right?
The partner's parents, who I know one of the kids has kids.
So they're grandparents.
And I go, I need some advice.
How do I talk to grandparents from grandparents?
And they were giving me advice how to craft a message, talk about routine.
I threw up some suggestions.
They were like, don't be passive aggressive.
I was like, I'll be passive aggressive.
So they were helping me workshop messages.
You better off being just aggressive.
But they also looked at me like, can you just?
Just let it go.
Just let it go.
Take a chill pill.
Grandparents are going to do what they're going to do.
But then they send a video of her eating ice cream.
And I'm like, come on, you've got to brush the teeth after ice cream.
That's what I thought.
You said they weren't doing the teeth.
They did you get all the sweets.
You know what this grandma said?
She goes, ask them to feed her an apple.
That's not the equivalent of brushing teeth.
She goes, at least it's fruit.
But yes, just that message of, what are you worrying about?
Yeah.
And I bet you next week.
There'll be a bigger issue and this will seem inconsequential.
There'll be another, yeah, there'll be another problem.
There'll be another, you know, nuclear situation that I go, oh, this pale, this makes the
teeth brushing pale in comparison.
So 131060, what did you worry about that?
What did you worry about that?
Then with a bit of hindsight, you go, I probably didn't need to worry about that.
But right now, oral hygiene for the two and a half year old is consuming me, Rowan, consuming me.
She's blowing up because she knows if she does, she wins.
Exactly.
That's how it goes.
And she's got the grandparents wrapped around the little finger.
Look at me, perfect parent, not having any kids?
You get it.
Yeah.
This is Jess and Rowan.
What did you worry about?
That with a bit of hindsight, you realised maybe I didn't need to worry about it.
I was losing my mind over the long weekend.
At the notice that my two-and-a-half-year-old was refusing to have her teeth brushed by the grandparents.
And they were going, we're not fighting her.
No.
We're having good time.
We're the grandparents.
We're the fun ones.
And I'm like, brush her teeth, brush the teeth.
Yeah.
just the blood pressure.
And my husband, some friends I was with, one of our girlfriends I was with, this amused me.
She goes, can't you just give her mouthwash?
And I was like, Ash.
No, mate.
I appreciate you don't have a two and a half year old in your life.
I can't give her Listerine for a multitude of reasons.
That's not how it works that.
But there were some grandparents there, and they were like, I could just tell.
They were gone, just not a big deal.
Do they love her?
Are they keeping her dry and fed?
That's actually what you should be concerned about.
Well, this is made their lover more if they would let her brush her to.
Well, that's the thing, exactly.
Joanne got in touch.
She goes, the thing I worried about
and then I got over pretty quickly
was sterilising everything.
She goes, I sterilised everything for the first kid,
but my second kid basically licks the floor.
Way less prone to getting sick.
Yeah, well, there you go.
I appreciate that one, Joanne.
Carly goes, Jess, I'm sure you'll get this one.
Baby lead weaning.
You're familiar with this phrase?
This is where there's some school of thought
when your child starts solids or starts eating food,
it's best to just give them hunks of it
to teach themselves to bring it to their mouth,
to learn how to eat,
as opposed to you doing mush and spoon feeding them.
Oh, they'll just figure it out.
Baby lead win and give them a whole lamb cutlet.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, I heard of that.
That's what's called.
There's a big school of thought of like,
you should let them do it.
And, you know, if you, I was one of those,
oh, my God, oh, my God, she's got to be doing this.
And then you're worried about choking.
You're worried about I and you're worried about nutrients.
Whatever.
And they get to two and a half
and they basically survive off blueberries.
Kids just bounced, don't they?
They're just indestructible.
Amen.
And I like this one from Jess.
She goes,
nothing grinds my gears more than my kids throwing out of,
I don't have to do this at Nan and Pop's house.
Oh, see, this is what we're talking about.
This is what I'm talking about.
She starts rolling that out.
As soon as Lucia says that,
it's game over.
I don't have to the farm.
Well, you do have to actually.
You do have to.
And I get it.
Again, the same friend with the mouthwash.
She goes, aren't these teeth just going to
fallout. Yeah, at 10.
It's oral hygiene. Not a
three. Not a three. I don't want her ginger
itis at three. Hang, I.
I'm like, oh. I try to take her to the dentist
when she sprouted her first two. She wouldn't open her mouth.
The dentist went, that's okay.
Sorry, and they still charge me 110
bucks. I think, what are we doing?
House bucks kids. This is Jess and Rowan.
School holiday toys, games,
hobbies, and collectibles.
Search Casey's Toys.
Hoverbuff.
Jess and Rowans.
Yeah, Alpha Bucks kids.
All 10 questions, right.
The kids get $1,000.
That's right.
And the adults are going to be mad at this, Ron, for every correct answer.
They do get $10.
10 bucks.
So, 7, right.
$0.70?
$9.
$90?
Yep.
We also wanted to put it out there.
We're not doing redemption round for the kiddies.
So you get $90.
But if you get $10,000, $1,000.
Today, our first player fresh off the long weekend.
Rowan, I hope she's got some fuel in the tank.
Definitely.
Pumped up on chocolate, baby.
Didn't party too hard.
We meet 11-year-old Zabi.
Good morning.
Hello.
Hi.
How are you feeling today, Zabi?
You're our first kid to play Alpha Bucks kids.
You're confident?
Yeah.
Good job.
What do you want to spend $1,000 on?
A family trip to Lunar Park.
That's really nice of you.
Is there anything you would like for yourself,
like a PlayStation or something to not spend with mum and dad?
What do you reckon?
fun like that?
Um,
anything.
I'm going to, well, we're going to
Newland and I'd like to buy a really nice
souvenir there for myself.
Good one, good one.
Nice, very good good good.

Okay, okay.
But now!
She's the artist.
everyone's been talking about.
I'll make it so easy to fall.
Olivia Dean.
Even though she'll be an odds in October,
we know you can't wait that long.
Oh my God.
So pack your bags and get ready
because we're sending you and your bestie
to London to see Olivia live.
This is crazy.
Want to win?
You hear it all on the radio.
You get to go see her live in London.
Dean, is she from London shy guy?
Straight away?
Yeah, yeah.
She's right in the hometown.
Right there in the thick of it.
Right in the middle of all her fun, fun, big home fans.
Wouldn't you say that would be good, Jess?
It would be unbelievable.
Olivia, Dean, you hear every 20 minutes on the radio and you get to go hang out with her in London.
Well, not hang out with her, but that might be...
Hey, man.
She's saying very friendly.
If you exude the right kind of energy,
Maybe Olivia will be like, I want to party with them.
Totally.
We're going to place to believe it now.
And we come back, we're going to give you a code word,
just like we did with Live the Dream.
Absolutely.
You're very good at entering code words.
We're going to keep that going.
For that next.
This is Jess and Rowan.
All the best memories are made on Sunday.
My wedding was on a Saturday.
That's one of my best memories.
Okay.
Well, it doesn't have to be on Sunday.
You know, just in this case, it is.
My girlfriend doesn't come to Made on Sunday.
What I'm hearing is she hates you.
that's what I want to bring up with the team.
But every weekend, and I, granted, it can get very busy and people are like having a real good time, which can be a bit messy.
But she started to every time I play, be like, oh, getting real sick.
I'm feeling real sick.
So now.
She does the shy guy on a Thursday.
I basically wanted to know.
Exactly.
Exactly.
And then when you get the message at 5 o'clock on Friday, guys off working up, not well.
He laid the pipe.
Laying the pie.
That's smart.
It hasn't come out of nowhere, you know?
Lucy's doing that in your relationship.
Yeah, do you think Lucy's laying pipe for...
100%.
You tell me every long weekend she comes down with the flu.
Well, she tries to say that because her body gets a bit of a break.
Maybe it just relaxes a bit too much.
She gets sick.
Can't come to have made on Sunday.
But I just want to ask the team if she thinks I'm a shit DJ or she wants to...
I'm on Lucy's side here.
No, no.
I'm sure she does absolutely start coming down every time you've got a gig.
And as I'm prepping my music, she's like, oh.
I'm really sorry I couldn't come today.
I heard the song.
They sounded really good.
You're amazing, honey.
No, no, I'm sure she genuinely can't support.
No, because I appreciate.
I appreciate the groundwork that's gone into this, Luce.
Lucy's one of the great groundworkers.
And look, to be fair, are we the same age, Lucy and I?
No, she's a little bit older.
She's a little bit older.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't want to be touched.
I've seen the videos that said.
Who's touching you?
A crowded dance floors.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, I'm saying you can't help but rub shots.
holders with people. Sometimes there's an age where you go, I don't want to deal with that anymore.
They sold like 1,500 tickets. God damn. Congratulations. It's a wonderful event. I don't want to be
touched. Even though I love you, I don't want to be there. That's basically what she's saying.
But saying it as sick, I prefer to go, I want nothing to do with that wrong. But I now think she's
lying to me. Are you actually sick? Or you just home watching the ghost show?
No, it's too harsh to say, I don't want to come support you doing your thing. You can't do it.
You can't argue if she's got sickness.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
It's bulletproof.
It is poor.
Yeah.
So we went home.
So buddy from Brisbane came down and we went home early because I was like, oh, I'm pretty much done.
You were sick of being touched too.
Yep.
Well, basically.
I quite like it.
I'm probably honest.
I think everyone, everyone hears, touch me once.
Okay, I should go.
Okay.
You do a little round.
The ego lap.
You finish your set and wait people to touch you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I consent.
Yeah, very good.
And we get home and she's just watching the ghost show as happy as Larry.
She's got a cup of tea, a biscop.
Oh, so excited.
When you said you were coming home, I got to hang out with you guys.
I was like, you need to pull it right back, ladies.
Yeah, not a tissue, a snotty tissue or some strepsels inside.
She was fine.
Yeah, so you actually think, yeah, well, that's kind of why I was asking.
I was like, mm-hmm.
Yeah, no.
She's absolutely faking it.
It's like, wow.
Your love only goes so far, you know?
Does it?
Yeah.
I love you and I support you, but I will not come to a packed dance floor.
You know what I'm doing.
But you could have hung outside stage, away from the.
Lucy would get some special treatment.
Of course she does.
Yeah, no, people still touch it in those areas.
That doesn't change.
Yeah.
Still think she's faking it?
Yeah.
So don't even invite her next time?
And she knows if you're going to go.
Always invite because then you look like a meaning.
Well, they're not supportive inviting.
Oh yeah, it's my fault.
Yeah, right.
This is Jess and Rowan.
I got a very, very upsetting text message
just before the long weekend.
I'm going to say officially kicked off.
Really?
At 6.02 p.m. on Thursday.
Oh, not a great time.
send it. No, no, I see it.
Oh, right. It came through at 5.58.
Mm.
So you could argue, oh, maybe at 5 o'clock on Thursday, you'd think officially business for the day is over.
That's okay.
But at 5.58, I get a text message.
Hello, this is your doctor.
Please call me back about your recent test results.
At that time, it's not a good decision.
I at 6.02 p.m. immediately hit dial.
our office is closed for the day.
I look up on Google.
They shut at six.
That's rude.
Don't be calling me at 5.58 with the most terrifying of all medical messages.
Because for four days, Rowan, I've been stewing on that.
Just thinking about it.
Just thinking about it.
And then, you know what the other part was?
Good Friday, I get a reminder text.
Please call your doctor.
Obviously, it's an automated message.
We can't be doing that to people over a long weekend.
I've got a real problem with these doctor text messages.
I don't like it.
I don't like it.
Half the time is not that bad.
Probably 80% of the time it's not that bad.
But Rowan, I had an ECG last week.
That's hard stuff.
Oh, that's scary.
I don't want any follow-up other than how you were all good.
I'd rather have not heard anything.
You shouldn't have to be allowed to send a message two minutes before you close.
Agreed.
That's someone's health that you're not going to ever pick up.
Or if you're going to do it, you have to wait.
Skidding, postman.
That's what the post he does.
He drops this thing off and runs away.
Do you ever stand in.
a queue or even on a phone queue, you know, maybe you've called the bank or something.
And you think, I'll be in on here for 25 minutes.
I want to hang up.
But what if it's another 60 seconds?
But then you end up staying there for 30, 32, 35.
And you always think, I'm going to hang up now.
Ah, I've come too far.
I'm going to hang up now.
I'm going to come too far.
If you are going to text someone minutes before a long weekend officially starts, you have
to wait for a response.
Oh, totally.
You've got to sit there and wait a minute.
call back.
100%.
You can't be doing that at 558.
It's my health, guys.
It's my health.
So at 9 a.m.
Rowan,
I'm ducking out calling him.
And you feel a bit lightheaded now.
I'm feeling a bit lightheaded.
Hence the joystick situation.
So that'll be my first question.
I'm lightheaded.
Should I or should I not have humectant?
He'll go, what's he mechon?
What's humectin?
It's used in my moisturiser.
Don't eat that.
Are you eating that?
This is Jess and Rowan.
Hey, if I was just to ask really quickly,
what?
Like just everyone listening at there
If I was to say, what do you reckon if we said
How much is the stool?
What do you think we'd be thinking about?
How much is the stool?
Would it be a breakfast stool?
Like that you sit on?
Yeah.
How much would you pay for the stool?
Why are you bringing this up, Ron?
This is not.
Talk about tomorrow.
This was an off-air conversation.
I don't know why I'll ask you to anything.
I forget who I'm talking to.
Because you never support my hopes and dreams.
No, we support.
I supported it.
I just want to talk about it.
I just want to do it on air.
Yeah, you were trying to guess and you were not close.
Was I not?
I said heaps, mate.
We'll do it tomorrow.
Okay, do it tomorrow.
Because we're running out of time and I'm waiting for my doctor surgery to open.
We can't go over.
You also do the strap thing?
Are we going to do the strap thing or not?
Strap?
Yeah, like, what have you had strapped to you for 24 hours?
Oh, yeah, I've got to get a hole to monitor.
Sorry, the strap.
Confused me.
Yeah, I'm getting a...
What have you're strapped on yourself?
I'm not even 35 yet.
Be fair, I haven't seen you lean back like that on your chair yet.
You are really rocking it, babe.
Do you sit down, go for a lie down?
Maybe.
Babs, would you be, haven't heard from Babs much today, actually?
Would you, do you want to swap with Jess?
Because she knows she screwed me with the press release about two hours ago,
so she shrunk like a, like, scared little mouse, back in her hovel.
No, I just didn't really think I needed to talk.
Okay.
Do you not like us after the weekend?
No, I do.
Half of the stuff that comes out is usually dumb.
So we need you, babe.
We did the blog.
We got a microphone sock with your name on it.
Babs.
I know.
You're how expensive that was?
It's like seven bucks.
If you're not going to use it, why'd we get it?
There's a lot more than that.
So sorry, I'll talk more often.
How fun.
Please do, because the blog was definitely one of my highlights today.
If you missed it, it'll be in the podcast.
Bab's saying, she feels like she shouldn't have left home.
Maybe she left the nest a little early.
It's true.
She's book smart.
Street smart? Maybe question mark over.
I'm worried about her house. You'll hear it in the podcast.
I know a lot's falling apart.
Toaster and boiled the kettle and the power went off.
That's right.
Like, sure, it's a house full of chicks too.
Like, it's not good.
Can I ask, Babs, you were toasting a hot cross bun, you were saying,
in the toaster?
Or were you doing it in like a sandwich press situation?
Because they're thick, fluffy boys.
How'd you get it in the toaster?
I always put it in the toaster.
I just jam it in there.
That could have been half the problem.
I don't think you should jam it.
Don't be jamming stuff in the toaster.
Yeah.
Because then it's not nice.
And then I use like a fork to get it out.
Oh, you're joking.
Don't you?
You're joking.
Oh my God.
You guys hear Jess and I then?
We were legitimately concerned.
Yeah, because that is something she might do.
Hey, what happened to Babs?
Oh, she stuck a fork in her toaster trying to get her hot cross bun out.
Now her right, her right arm doesn't work.
That's right.
And we call her forkie.
Gock. Toy story reference.
Yeah.
Oh, okay, good.
I was going to think, forkies funny.
Hey, welcome back.
We're padding, guys.
Now, make sure you join us tomorrow.
Yep, yep.
We've got another code word so you can go,
I was going to say, live the dream with Olivia Dean.
No, go see.
Kind of.
Go see Livy Livey Livey live in London.
Absolutely.
We will do Jess's stool chat.
That still sounds medical, doesn't it?
That's okay, I'm all right with it.
That's the one test my GP didn't ask me to go get a stool.
How much is Jess's stool?
She did make me pee in a cup, though.
Oh, that's okay.
Do you want to see if I was pregnant straight away?
Really?
It's the first question.
That's what I asked.
I said pregnant.
Yeah, so first question I think they ask women of a certain age when you have a medical problem.
Any chance you're pregnant?
Yeah.
I was like, pretty sure not.
Pee in this cup.
Okay.
Yes, ma'am.
It's bad.
I'll do it.
I was so dehydrated, Rowan.
Oh, no.
It's not embarrassing.
I'm back.
Yeah.
Shagar, you see.
How much water do I drink?
No, a lot.
Last time I had to pee in a cup.
The doctor said, do it the first one of the morning.
I'm like, well, that's the worst one.
That's the worst one.
It's embarrassing.
It's the color of the sunrise.
That wasn't that bad.
Welcome to the day.
Sun salutation.
And why are the cups always clear?
Why can't they put something around?
Well, I guess that's why they're judging.
I guess that's why they're judging hydration.
Oh, look at that murky one I can't see through.
That's far chonis.
You swore then.
Did you think he swore?
No.
He did the only and I was like, now we're cool.
That.
I know they write my name.
I go, I don't want a big note, but people know my name.
Can you take my name off that?
I never thought about that.
What if the receptionist at the pathology place?
Yes.
Oh, that's her piss.
I always wonder this.
All right, quick sidebar.
Doctors obviously have patient client, doctor patient confidentiality.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do the receptos.
No.
No.
Oh, see that?
No.
They go, sorry.
No, no.
They do.
They do.
They do.
I was DJing one time and I saw the receptionist.
And she...
