The Friends meal has landed at Maccas with one of six characters to collect. Here we go! Welcome to the Jess and Ron podcast. Thank you for tuning in again and thank you for choosing us for your little walk, for your drive, whatever you do it. Can you please DM us? If you're in the shower, noo, heaps of stuff. If you're driving, wait till you pull over, then send us a DM. I listen to you while I'm driving.

Maybe it's the nighttime commute. Miss you in the morning. Catch up for the drive home. maybe you're walking, maybe you're at the gym. You ever listen to the podcast? It's fun sometimes. I do. I like to air check us.

Oh, yeah. You know, how are we going to get better? Most J's can do what he can do, but we need to be our own critics as well. Yeah, yeah. You know? Do you listen every now and then? Every now and again, sometimes. Yeah.

Sometimes pops up. If I get lots of DMs about things, I'll go back and listen to that. Have a listen. Yeah. It's funny. Do you ever listen back and go, I don't remember saying that? It's almost like I blacked out. No, I listen to go.

I didn't remember that being this funny. Oh, I mean, in the moment it Oh, good, but damn, this was even better. This is really translating. I remember very early in my career, we were doing an outside broadcast. So we were doing the show on location. But there was some reason we need to come back to the studio mid-show. So they played almost like the producer's diary.

Like a fire alarm vibe? No, so we were out and about for a stint. And then it went, well, there's no need to stay here till nine. Let's head back to the studio. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But obviously we needed to commute. So for that 10 minutes, they basically put in like a producer's diary. So we had that and an ad block and a song to get back.

Yep. So in the car, I was able to listen to in real time, the producer's diary. Never have I been able to listen to our own show in real time. Because we're in the moment. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was one of the best. Because even listening to the pod, you go, well, it's clearly not live. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're listening back. Yes. We can't be in two places at once to hear the show. as it goes to air. That was the only time I've been able to do it. I know it was cool. It was really cool. Back in the day when I used to do all the work day stuff

and do music stuff through the day, sometimes we would pre-record our breaks. Okay. And I would like get them done so fast. It would like a five-hour weekend shift and I would have it all done in like an hour and a half. Fantastic. So I would be like driving around.

I'd be like, oh, there's Rowan. Oh, that's me. And I'd be like, this is fun. So literally something you'd record it earlier that day. You're then hearing it play out in real time. Oh, man. I was a pro at it. You meant to be there for the five hours. I would record everything, all the winners, all of it in about an hour, and I would go.

I used to work nights. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. When I would leave, I would listen to the Perth feed. Oh, yeah. Because at that time, our show was just starting. That's a classic. That's a classic.

That's cool. Babs, what's your experience with it? Listen to yourself back. Oh, I don't really like listening to myself. You have a lovely voice. Sometimes it's funny. Oh, thank you so much. Sometimes it's funny if you guys need me to go do like a Macca's run or something,

I put the radio on so I can hear what you're talking. about in the moment. Yeah. And it's a little bit weird. Sounds like we're sending you once a week to do a Macca's right. No, but like every now. I'm never sent you. I was going to say,

well, like the times when I've come to work at like 7 a.m. Because I've been. Oh, partying too hard. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I can listen to the. It is.

It's a wig out, but I like it. Nice. Just making sure we're always on the ball. Well, we're doing Babes blog in the podcast today. That's a fun one. We may, I might be paying Babs to do something. She hasn't decided yet.

Oh, how long did we have. Oh, that's right. For every 10 minutes, you were going to drop the bounty. I think it's gone. You owe me money now. It'll be a surprise. You owe him $30. Yeah, everyone remember to follow up on Babs because she'll very happily let this go under the bridge.

Yeah, let's not, what do the Hamish say? Don't let it peter out. No, Peter out. So if we haven't talked about it in a while, just DM with back going, hey, by the way. What ended up happening with Babs and Blockland? Blockland. Or Greg, whichever one you want to go with. You went with Greg, didn't you?

Yeah, Greg. Greg sounds like a 50-year-old man. My uncle's, like, his old uncle Greg. Old Uncle Greg. Greg isn't a young 24-year-old name. I know. That's the point. I think I know a young Greg.

Really? See, now that's the thing. Who's the youngest, Greg? How old is the youngest Greg, you know? Yeah, well, he'd be my age. I remember I used to play basketball against a Greg. Like, how old is the youngest Gary, you know? Greg and Gary are coded the same age for me.

There wouldn't be it. There wouldn't be it. There wouldn't be an under 40 Gary. I'd be so surprised if you met an 18-year-old Gary. I know, right. I would have said Dennis, one of our good friends' dad is Dennis, but I told you about Dennis Act Dennis recently. He's my age.

Dennis. That's a young, that's a young Dennis. I thought Dennis was an older name. Okay. Dennis is a bit of an older. I know a few Dennis is. Graham? How old is the youngest?

Went to school with Graham, my age? Yeah. Tasmania, though. All right? Everyone's name of them after the grandfather, right? And in the Bible. Is it trying to be all religious? Is Graham biblical?

No, I don't it. Graham is, but those older names are a bit biblily. Arthur, and they're all coming back now. So we actually might be at a loss with this game. Arthur's come back. Maxwell's come back. What was the name of that guy, the car guy? What's his actual name?

I'm not saying. Oh, close. That was good. I think I ruined it with actual name. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You could have got it. Try it again tomorrow. Enjoy the show.

Bye. Bye. about wee-woo methods to help yourself. You'll get to know Rowan. Hot, horny, happy. Yay! This is going to be good, it's going to be fine. It's going to be alright.

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. Ah yes, good morning. Welcome to Tuesday.

Good morning. The 17th of February. Yep. Feels nice. Feels good, baby. Mm-hmm. Morning, shy guy. Morning.

Morning. Morning. Have you lotion this morning, my friend? Stupid question. Duh. A revelation to end all revelations yesterday. Rowan, yeah, Rowan saying he starts his day with a full body moisturised. Well, only the bits that I can get.

I can't get my back. Oh, doubt. Has your partner not taught you the art of the self-moistising arms? How do you usually put sunscreen on your back if you're alone? No, I don't. You never put sunscreen on your back if you're alone. No, no. You've clearly never faked hand.

No, absolutely not. I feel like maybe ladies learn this really early because we have to depend on me, myself and I. I don't get one of those applicators, one of those like, Bondi-Sans applicators. You know what you need? I could maybe get it, actually, with a double-arm-law-law-law-that. You need a mitt on a stick.

That's an applicator. Shug, I write that down for Rowan's birthday. It's around the corner. We need a big stick and some sort of mitt attached to the end. Be very careful if that's all you get me for my birthday. Oh, we've got things in motion. Oh, and they better be good. But I always like to pay attention to what my friends are saying is missing from their lives.

You, how to reach your back. Look at you looking up specifics. Have you seen something? I know there's an applicator. See, look at it. There it is. Oh, my God. It's like a big back scratcher.

But I wouldn't even know where to start with that. Look at it. Looks like a horse paddle. It does look like a... It's all getting very horsey from you. First, you told me the moisture over is called Your Coat. I'm in 10 bucks, mate. It's pretty good.

That's pretty good. You get one of those happening. All right. Well, don't add to cart. Shai guy added to Elkhart. Anyway, so you've moisturised today? Yeah, man. I'm all good.

You feeling greasy, slippery smooth? Did you? No. I, um... We're getting into a bad habit now where our two-year-old starts in her bed, but around 11 o'clock midnight, She makes her way into owls, which means I can't use our onsuit in the morning to get ready.

So I literally pick up my one little face serum and my hair tie and sneak away to the other bathroom. No lotion in that bathroom. How do you stop that happening? Lock her in her room, like a prisoner? I don't know. If she can get out of her bed and open the door, I actually don't know.

The only way to stop it, I think, would be to intercept her and us to stay in her room. But at that time of the night, I'm like, whatever. Interesting. Just the dances. Oh, right. So now that it's happened a few times, it's probably happening. Exactly.

And she's so light on her feet that she's not, we don't wake up until she's at our bedside. Mommy, Mommy, Mommy. One time I wasn't there, I think I'd already left for the gym. She just latched onto my husband's big toe at the foot of the bed. He nearly kicked her in the head because he got such a fright. I would have. He did really well there. And he's a light sleeper, so the fact she was able to get in without him waking up.

Oh my God, he was rattled. But anyhow, who. Okay. So no morning moisturised for J-Farch. No. Just kid things. Maybe I can do it when I get in. You could do it now?

You could do my back and I could do yours. Oh, I don't like that. But if I'm going to help you get the hard to read spots. How are you with that, shy guy? We moisturized the other back. We could do a moisturized train. No, no, no, no. You two just do it.

Everyone take their shirts off. And we stand in a circle. But that's where you get in on the moisturiser train? I didn't have her on. What? I'm okay. Yeah. Maybe I'll get the Applicator.

Let me just do the Applicator. You've got a friend. I know. I love you. I love you. You've got the friend in me. You've got. No, I would do that for you.

Thank you. Thank you. So rude. Maybe not. Maybe. Maybe. If I needed you, if we went to the beach or a sunny park. Yeah, you corner me with the sunscreen.

And I asked you, could you, could you sunscreen my back? Would you do it for me? Yeah. Different. How is it different to moisturise my back in the studio? You get burn and get melanoma. That's on me, baby. That's on me.

But if I just have one scaly patch in the middle of my shoulder blades, that's also on you. You just missed it and you could do it later on in the day. I do have pretty good shoulder mobility. You got great shoulder. Yeah, it's pretty good. By the way, your biceps are popping at the moment, babe. Killing it. All those gym stuff.

Thank you for noticing. Killing, dude. Big show today, guys. Big show. Alpha bucks at 7 and 8 as well, you know, $10,000 each hour. Do you want to moisturize my biceps? Oh. If I could voice-strize anything, I'd love to touch them.

Oh, we also have questions to make you fall in love with someone. I feel like we've missed Valentine's Day with that one, but it's all right. We can fall in love on. Well, yeah, you can just get it ready for next time. That's nice. A year to practice. Oh, my God, we have why kissing is good for you as well. This is a very love, sexy show, guys.

She's shy guy must be in a mood. Mate, let's get moisturising. I feel like today's the day. Take your clothes off. All right, AI Cafe. What does that mean? Stay by. This is Jess and Rowan.

Guys, the world's first AI dating cafe. It's open in New York City. I hate it. I hate the sound of it, Rudy. Okay. Didn't even know it. He said enough words for me to make a judgment. There's little pop up on Valentine's Day.

AI dating. And apparently the AI relationship about Eva AI says nearly one in three men and one in four women, under 30, said they interacted with AI companions, chatting, confiding, and building emotional connections through their. their phones. You know where this started? People using chat GPT as their therapist. So now people are like, well, I guess if it can give me nice therapy advice, little nuggets

of wisdom, why can't I make it into a partner? Guess are encouraged to show up solo, open the Eva app. This whole thing's a big ad. Get it. It always is. And you spend the evening talking to your digital partner in a setting that looks like any other cozy New York City wine bar and then you see everyone's just staring at their screens.

So I'm sitting there with a glass of cabinet, but I'm just on my phone. Looks like you're on an iPad in front of your eyes. Oh my God. And I'm talking to a bot. It says you don't even need a mingle. You don't have to flirt. You don't even even have to explain your situation. The whole point is spending international time out with your algorithmic date.

Now, I think one in three men is generous. I think that's too many. I think maybe it's an American thing. One in three men. Do you really think what? Like, let's. That means. If I had a shlong, that would be one of us in this room.

That's what, yeah. I don't actually think one in three is realistic. One in four women. Is it saying, I'm not sure if you have the data in front of you, Rowan. Is it saying because we are so scared of, sick of, we've been burnt too many times by humans. Now we are literally turning to AI bots. Did you read this already? No, I don't click things about AI.

It for users burned out by dating apps. Oh, my God. Social anxiety, control, judgment-free relationship. I get the judgment-free, but they're not real guys. Yeah, because where are we expecting this to go? Obviously, never... Into bots. Into robots.

And then you just, like, I hold their hand walking down the street, I guess. But you can't have a physical relationship, can you? Or is that where this is heading, Ron. You know, there's those things that you can buy. I know there's things you can buy, but like... Don't look at me and say that. For everyone listening, I looked at him straight at the line. He was looking for some support there for someone who might.

As if I was going to be like, oh yeah, the thingo-3-000 is great. Sorry, the thing-o-3-thous. I don't know what you call. I don't know what it's called. I wasn't looking for support. I just knew you'd know what I was talking about. I know what you're talking about. So I start with the chat and then eventually the technology will catch up where it's like,

oh my God, Thing-0-3-95 is actually in bot form physically that I can hold its hand. Maybe, look, maybe it is actually one in three, one in four. I think about my mother when she sends me AI things all the time thinking it's cute cats. Mom, someone's made that up. It doesn't know. She would have sent me 20 of them. But is she going on a date with one? That's a thing.

Is she replacing your father with one? Well, not necessarily that. It's that she's interacting with AI and doesn't realize it. So it's just, it's becoming. And they all have a confirmation bias, don't they? Isn't that what they even say about the chat GPTs and the Geminiise? It starts learning you and just telling you what you want to hear, which, let's be real, is the ideal partner. no one to challenge you.

Why do we have humans? What are we doing? This is Jess and Rowan. I just really wanted to blow your mind this morning. Before I fall in love with you, I want to blow your mind. Sure. The internet, man. Geez, the things you can learn.

And I realized. Welcome. Are you new to it? I am. Oh, man. So if you go WWW dot, you can like mostly search whatever you want. But this is the issue, Rowan. I don't go searching for gaps in my knowledge.

It's just funny what comes across my desk. You go, I never thought about that. And now this information's in my brain. And I realized, literally, as I went to open my mouth, I haven't fact check this, better quickly. It's true my life. Fact check. As Trumpy always says, is it fake news?

It might be fake news. I've Googled. We're good to go. Okay. Well, no, no, you're not. Did it give you an AI answer? No, no, I don't do that. AI summary.

No, I look for sources and then I check the sources. Where's the bibliography? That's a new thing now. I don't even type in what I just ask it. I just ask Google now. So, you know, my mum was here over the. weekend, she's telling me all this health stuff. My dad's Googling.

I went, please, please make sure he's checking sources. AI summary. Because he's got, oh, he tore his meniscus last year in France. He's got a sore knee, Rowan. The physio's going, you've got to do XYZ exercises. My dad goes, but it hurts. Well, listen to the physio, man. He doesn't want to listen to the physio.

So now he's AIing hacks and shortcuts. It told him to go have some turmeric tablet, which he bought from the health food shop, thank God, he then Googled, hang on a minute, I'm on a bunch of other medication. How does the tumoric tablet affect the other medication? Not good. Lucky he looked it up because, yes, it would be adverse reaction. Really?

With the blood pressure meds. Isn't it like tumourics just like for anti-inflammatory stuff? Yes, but apparently the curcamin in the tumouric drops your blood pressure. So if you're already on, blood pressure, Rowan. This is why we can't just be reading the first sentence of the. AI summary gang. Okay, sorry, yes, continue. So lucky I've done my own extra Googling,

particularly because this came from a comedian. So you've got to make sure they haven't had some artistic license. Grand assault. How much do you think about Pablo Picasso? Never in my life, so I think about him. Are you ready to do? This could go either way. Okay.

What era have you coded Pablo Picasso living in? Like, when you think about his art and the artist, where have you put him in history? Big part of it wants to say 1500th, but it's not 1500. 1500s, you know? It's like, I think it's, isn't it like early 1900s? Bro, I was the same. I thought like 1800s.

I've, I've seen this and it's like 19. I've got him rubbing shoulders with like Leonardo da Vinci. No, he's like two people away as in like granddad. He died in 1973. Yeah, this is, he was born like granddad. He's like a modern, shy guy. He was a modern dude. I was right with you at the 1500s.

Yeah. Yeah. He's like granddad. I remember seeing it and going, oh. People are commenting on this thread. Joe List is the comedian. This looks like a very. funny set from him. People are going,

Joe Liz. Yeah, my grandfather was a student of his, and I'm 48. Yeah. He goes, Picasso was driving around Spain. This is now the artistic license, but this is the things that were available. Picasso could have been driving around Spain in a Honda Civic listening to Black Sabbath on the radio.

He literally could have been. I thought he was living, Joe goes, I thought he was living next door to a blacksmith. Him and Ozzy Osbourne were alive at the same time. By the Aussie. Born 1881. Died. 1973. Unbelievable.

The guy's at home drinking Mountain Jew. It's like a great-grandad. That's like a great-great-granddad. That's like a great-grandfather. Mountain Dew came out in 1940. Like they were the same timeline. This guy was drinking the Jew and we thought this guy was the greatest. Well, we can't put it on record that he was a fan of Mountain Dew,

but they existed at the same moment in history. Imagine Mountain Jew got Pablo Picasso to do a mural. The original influencer? Pablo. I'm going to look at Pablo. Picasso art a little differently now and look for modern day influence. There you go. That blew my mind.

Is this the guy with the ear? No, that's Van Gogh. My bad. This is Jess and Rowan. Rowan, I'm actually a little nervous. Oh yeah, okay. This is dangerous waters. We are about to enter, my friend.

American psychologist, Arthur Aaron. What a name. He was trying to work out a way to fast track closeness. He got a bunch of. bunch of strangers in his laboratory. He went, Red flag. What is, he's a researcher.

Okay, sorry. What is a way that I can speed up the process of connection? Okay. Without alcohol, without drugs, without music, without changing circumstances other than having these people talk to one another. Okay. He has come up with 36 questions. You can ask a person to,

Fast-track closeness, but he warns you could fall in love with one another. So I thought you and I could ask each other a couple of Arthur Aaron's questions. Oh, okay. See what happens? You can start. I'm like a brick wall, though. So just, if you get me, you've been happily partnered with your girlfriend Lucy for four years. I'm about to celebrate my fifth wedding anniversary.

Let's go. Let's see how hard-hitting these questions from Arthur Arana. Hey, Rowan. Yeah. When did you last cry in front of another person? Probably September. In front of Lucy, I had money problems. It was really bad.

Thank you for sharing. Are you in love with me? No. You try me. Now I'm embarrassed. It's meant to fast track close. So you being vulnerable and open, that was very kind. So it's meant to open the pathways between us.

Oh, so I kind of did do what it was like meant to do. Well, I feel closer to you, but you just said you feel embarrassed. Nah, I don't embarrass. Just like a, you know. Vulnerable. Vulnerability can be scary. Oh, that's hot. What?

Sorry, my apologies. Jessica. What would you constitute a perfect day for you? Oh. What is it? Wake up feeling. You know, sometimes you wake up and your nose is a bit stuffed or your body's a bit sore? None of that.

You've wake up feeling sprightly. I've woken up in Bologna, Italy. And I know that all that lays ahead is a couple of good restaurants, a couple of good meals. And then a nice passagata, aka the fart walk, where we just meander around a city. Getting lost with nowhere to be. God, you've thought about this before. I like it very much. Am I in love with you now?

No. No. Because that perfect day also had my husband next to me. Yeah. One more for you. Let's see if this makes you fall in love with me. Yeah, let's see. Let's see if I've got to see it up.

If you knew that in one year, Rowan, you were going to die. Yeah. Would you change anything about the way you are living in this moment? Oh, yeah. 100%. What would you change? Your circumstances, you don't just become a billionaire. I'd be getting every credit card.

I'd be rinsed all the cash. I would go to Mexico and no one would ever hear from me again. Well, for a year, then you die. Then I die. Okay. Are you in love with me now? No. Okay. This is Jess and Rowan.

Jess and Rowan's 10K alpha bucks on hit. Yes, play at 7 and 8. Every morning, $10,000, 30 seconds, 10 questions, one letter. That's how you play the game. That's how you want to win the money. Hello to you. Lisa. Hello.

Good morning. Lisa, good morning. What brings you to the Jess and Rowan program today? Well, I'm not usually up this early, but I went for a swim at the bars. Lovely. Get it, sis. Case the day. Yeah. All right, so we're firing on all cylinders. Exercise with the sun coming up. That's got to be good for the brain.

And I've had a coffee. Oh, my God, all right. You could not have set yourself up better to win 10 grand. What are you going to spend the money on? Some tattoos. Oh, okay. Oh, my God. We can talk off air about where to get tattoos.

I was going to say, would this be your first lease? No, no, no. I'm adding. Yeah, I've got a right sleeve. Yeah, people that say tattoos normally have at least a couple. I just love the idea that the only thing stopping Lisa from getting any was, I need 10 grand and then I'll go get a bunch. They can be really expensive.

Yeah, well, it's free money. Amen. You're not going to believe what your letter is today, Lisa. Oh, my God, what? It's T for tattoo. Okay. Come on. That's got to be a good omen.

It's a sign. Maybe you can get a crue. Crab like Rowan. Or maybe not. Yeah, it's not a crab. Lobster. All right, Lees, your time. We'll start up to the first question.

You ready? Yes. Starting with the letter T, we need you to name a girl's name. Tiana. Something square. Table. A sea animal. Pass.

A book. The faraway tree. A beauty product. Pass. A board game? A country. Pass. A five-letter word.

There. A comedy film. Pass. An instrument. Oh. Damn. Some good answers in there. How old?

How old? You have? I got a bit lost on the list. I had five ticks, but I think it might be called the magic faraway tree, not just the faraway tree. I have five ticks too. They're making that into a movie, by the way, Lisa. I'm excited. Yes, I know.

That's what I'm excited. Yeah, there's top of mind. My daughter's reading it. So maybe a good four? A good four, you think? Okay. Because Tappell, did you have a question mark on Tappell the board game? It's one of the great.

I love Tappell. It's so good. I didn't hear. I heard trouble. Oh, Tappell is so fun. Yes, we love Tapples. The animal could have tuna, trout. A book, you could have the Lord of the Rings.

Or the Magic, very much. Or the magic, yes. Tweezers, beauty product. The Truman Show, Comedy Film, Instrument. Do we get to those? We did. She got through all 10, but just in there. Yes, yes, yes.

Tambrian trumpet instrument. Sorry, Lisa. Better luck next time. Oh, wow. Thank you, Lisa. Pay for your own tattoos, okay? And then send us a picture. Yes, please.

Okay, thank you. I want to know where you're going to DM me. Yes, have a great day. Thank you, Lisa. Next, we are doing the greatest game on our radio program, I think, so far. Babs's blog. Hell yeah. Jess and Rowan, morning.

This is Jess and Rowan. Hey, it's Babs. And this is my blog. Commence Operation Superstar Brassplay. Oh, and this is my blog. Rowan's favourite time of the week, where Babs comes in studio, she often avoids us like the plague. And also...

It's not true. But we force her for this. Amazing. Just a quick round of applause for an amazing hook. I've been thinking about it all show. Oh, good. All show that you're getting set up with someone. Practicing her radio craft, keeping us hooked for a good 45.

Absolutely crushing it. Having a go. Having a go. You're killing it, sis. Well-deserved applause. Talk us through it. All right. So, my housemate Grotty.

That's not her name? No, I'm just, yeah. Grotty. She's buying a car at the moment. Nice. Yeah, so brain spank a new one. She comes home the other day and goes, oh my God, there's a guy at the car dealership,

exactly your type. I said, what does that mean? What does that mean? She said, tall, quite good looking, tattoos. Where's Doc Martins? I said, oh, yep, that check. Fantastic. As I happen until this point, she's just described most dudes.

I was like, awesome. That's fantastic. She goes, you know, like, you have to come and meet him. And I said, I don't even know what this guy looks like. You know, don't know, bar or so. He could be a child. I don't know. You know, he could be way younger than me, you know.

I said, do you know what his name is? We can do some discovering. She goes, no, but let me check the paperwork. Oh, so she bought the car. Yeah, so she bought the car. So this has been going on for a little bit, like through the week. She's like, I can't remember his name. Maybe next time, like, I'll remember it.

I was like, that's fine. Doesn't matter. Anyway, my friend, they were, but lot grotty. Oh, my God. Grotty. This man clearly has you flustered. Yes, he does. Grotty, we're in a circle.

Grotty, another friend, Smemily. And me. Yeah. And we're telling Smemoli about this guy. And she's like, let's try and find him on social media. Like, let's do a bit of a deep dive and maybe then you can decide if you want to go and meet him. What do we have at this point, just a first name? Just his first name and place of work.

Yes, and place of work. So I put my little producer hat on. I'm like, let's do this. We're in a circle. We're like, those witches, it goes silent and we're just like locked in. We're like, let's do this. We're like, we're going to discover who this guy is. So, Lottie is going, this is the paperwork.

I've got a name and a last name. I was like, great start. Oh, well, that's a good start. That's all your name. We're looking up, nothing. I was like, that's okay. We go, all right, let's go to the car dealer. You know, Instagram.

We're on there. I'm going through the following list trying to find this person. Smemoli's going through the likes of people on the post. Great, great, great, great. We're in the comments, we're looking. We finally find this person. Okay, was his Instagram handle, not his name?

It wasn't, no. Okay, a bit of an alias situation. Like, I'm going, is this the guy showing Grotty? And she's like, no. So then we're still going through. We're in the comments, yeah, in the likes. We eventually found this person. Girls are on.

He's liked a post that he was filming. He wasn't even in the video. And I was like, wow, we're amazing. We're amazing. Yeah, the witches are on. And then I found his Spotify. Because I think a music taste is, you know. Big deal.

Big deal. It's one thing to wear Doc Martens, which is your shoe of choice. It's another to have a similar taste in music. Because he didn't have many photos. Like, it was in the tag post. You could kind of just get glimpses. Talk to you about the songs. What are the songs?

Well, he had a little bit of radio head in there. I like radio head and smash. punching pumpkins. Pardon me, sorry. Can you just loop in the boomer in the room, please? Yes. Can you look people up on Spotify, like a social media account? Yes, you can.

Yeah. Oh my gosh, was that all public? It depends. What? Maybe I'm. Yeah, you're going to be real surprised what's in my playlist, right? Won't be. The Wiggles, the Quokers.

Tiptoe Giants. So Babs, you found him on Spotify and you liked what you saw? Yeah, I did. I was like, all this is kind of cool. Yep, got you. Six followers, two following. It's a photo. Six followers.

Why is anyone following me? It's probably just, it's probably just Angus. Why do you have playlists called proper power ballads with zero saves? Oh my God, I can see all you've got. I love a power ball. Oh, no, this is embarrassing. Don't. Oh, see, you saved Obama's playlist.

Babe, it's public. Don't read it out loud, though. I'm embarrassed. Okay, well, so. Oh, Obama had some bangers. Everyone's going to look now. Who's clear? Oh, that's for the kids.

Oh, that's what I call you to hear you. Anyway, we're back to Babs, please, using Spotify to stalker do. You keep talking. I'm going to keep looking at these songs. These are amazing. Well, anyway, yeah, that was that. And then... I can't believe you found him on Spotify.

I know, pretty amazing, to be honest. And sorry. But also, it's kind of creepy. I need to stop. But this is the world we live in, isn't it, Babs? Yes. Before we even reach out to this person in real life, let's make sure they're the kind of person we are interested in.

Well, I just kind of wanted to put some, you know, some... What's his name? What's his name right now? No, I'm not going to tell you that. No, no, you've done a grotty and a smelie. Can you do a version? Oh, for the sake of this experiment, let's just call him Greg. Oh, Greg.

Greg, Greg, great, great, great, great. I was hoping she was going to say like, Blochlin or something. I don't be too obvious. Hang on, so did you also like the look of Blocklin? Yes, I did. Let's go. So Grotty was right. Grotty was right.

This is up your alley. Does he work at a popular car dealership? It's a local one. Is it a one I have an in-act? Is it a one with a group? Yes, that's a yes. Oh. Anyway.

No, no, there's no anyway in this. I'd love to help out. Yeah, oh, we go. Grotty's done a lot of the legwork. Grotty is picking up the car on Thursday. Are you going to go help her? Okay, standby. We will stay in touch on this.

But I... I don't know about that. Oh my God, nah. That's... This could be the cutest meat story. Hey, I've got something you can listen to in your car. Just a row and... Oh my gosh.

She's doing press for the show. Yeah, don't do that. No, it's just a tongue thing. That was weird. It's a playlist of Babs's blog. Look how awkward. She's a cool chick. She's getting so awkward.

think she actually, this is why I don't want to go. You need to go. You need to go. You've got to go. You've only live once, Babs. Like, put yourself out there. You've already looked up his Spotify. We're being vulnerable here. But I just, I don't think any, like getting set up by your friend would ever be successful.

Oh, no, 13, 10, 60. We need to dispute that. Definitely. We need a dispute that. Have you been set up by a mate? And by extension. Did it work? Yeah, but I was going to say, by extension, have you stalked someone on Spotify?

131060 take your calls next This is Jess and Rowan We just had Babbs in studio She left because she had to go answer the phones She threw it out to the people She's the hardest working member of the team She threw it out to the phones on 131060 Yeah

Have you been set up? Has a friend gone Oh, I have got someone you need to meet Because her darling housemate Has tapped her on the shoulder this week And gone, sis, I met a car salesman and he has got your name written all over him. And she's, she's like, she's not a nervous young lady, but she's, she's humble.

She's a reserved queen. And she's going, no, I'm not going to go with you to pick up the car later in the week and what, be like, hello, I've stalked you on Spotify. You want to go get a drink? We'd love to date you. She's not going to do it, but we're now trying to get a little bank of evidence. It's worked for people in the past. Trust your mate.

follow through on the set-up. Stacey, good morning. Hello. Stace. Have you been set up? Yes, I got set up by my best friend and a sister. Okay, so what were the circumstances? You're single at the time?

They come to you and go, Stacy, you're not going to believe it. We've met your future husband. Yeah, and he's actually the older sister is one of her friends. And yeah, I got set up with him at a family dinner for their dad's 60th birthday. Okay. And we're now married and have two children and eight and a six-year-old. There you go. So it's work.

Sorry, Stacey. It's good. It's good. Would you usually have gone to the dad's birthday dinner or was it like, hey, hey, don't ask too many questions. Just come and enjoy. And there's that fella. No, I would have usually gone because we're really close to family friends. But, yeah, I was like, I don't want to come because he's going.

And then, yeah, here we are. Next minute, a couple of red wines. Well, that's what bad. I'm just saying she doesn't want to go because he's going to be there. Maybe she should go. She should go. All of a sudden she gets married to the car man. It is a little different, I guess.

Stacey was in a datey sort of circumstance. There's dinner. There's drinks. There's other people. She's got to go to his workplace. That's true. It's a tougher carry. But it's not to say it's impossible.

Pepper, how are you? Good morning. I'm good. And you guys? Pepper, we're good. We're talking love, being set up. Has that happened to you? It sure has.

My best friend set me up with my now husband, I had a very bad history of dating the wrong men, and I basically was like, you know what, fine. If you find somebody, sure, let's do it. And it ended up being my absolute, like, man of my dreams. He's French. And when I was, I know, oh la la. And basically, like, I just was never expecting her to say, hey, I've found your dream man.

He's French. But where was he, Pepper? Like, how did she find the Frenchman to begin with? So she was working in a company with lots of lovely Frenchmen and it was her now husband's good mate. Okay, it was connections. Yep, exactly. And they were working together and she's like, you know what?

You've done terrible with men. Let me have a go. Let me have a go. I could do better than you could. Absolutely. You've swung and you've missed. Pepper's friend stepping up. Here we go.

All right. That's two on the board for the setup being successful. Two out of two, babes. Let's go to Joe. Good morning, Joe. Good morning. How are you? Yeah, good.

Thank you, babe. So the circumstances of your setup, a little bit different. Yeah. So I was, it's a long time ago. And I'm from a small country town. So I didn't have nightclubs then. So every Friday night, I had music on it, the RSL club. Hell yeah.

Hell yeah. And it was happening. And then I was having fun, obviously. And my friend said, I bet you 50 bucks ask that bartender out. He's been checking you out. I'm like, yeah, nah. Yeah, no. And then I kept having more fun.

And then I actually did ask him out. And we've been married 25 years now. See, there we go. It's a bet. Joe, and did your friend pay you the 50 bucks? No, never. Well, we've got to get you that 50 bucks because you followed through on your part of it. How I mean, she did get everlasting love.

That's true. That's a big one. That's true. That's true. Okay. Okay. All right. The setup.

Thank you, Joe. That's three from three babbs. Does that make you feel a bit more confident to go with your house, mate, to pick up the car? What if I give you like a hundred bucks? Oh, that changes things. I'll give you like, I'll give you a hundred bucks, but you have to spend it on stuff to take with you. Oh, hang on. So you're going to do before.

Yeah, give you a hundred bucks. So what to go? Like a budget maybe. Or I can just give you 100 bucks putting your back pocket. What do you want to do? I'll give you 100 bucks if you go. No, no, you have to say I'll give you a hundred bucks if you go and ask him out. Like Joe's.

friend did. You've got to put the jeopardy on it. Oh, see, I was going to give you a lot less, but Jess is right. I'll give you a hundred bucks if you go and ask him out. You can't just say, here's a hundred bucks. You're just going to go get a pedicure and move on with her life. That's kind of what I was thinking. Oh, well, that's nice. Take it about it. 100 bucks if you go and do it. I'll just give you $100 right now. I'll send it right now.

Jesus, generous? This is a lot of pressure. Can I think about it? Okay. Well, every 10 minutes, it's going to go down $10. This is Jess and Rowan. Jess, I want to talk to you quickly. I just want to know. And this could go two ways. It's a little bit of a concern to me. I'm a little nervous.

I'll be honest. I just would like to know what the... I mean, the overall etiquette is it's not for you. I'm glad you've said it before I numbered to. But, and I'm well aware of that. Are you? But I think, let's, I reckon 98% of the time I've worked here, not long, but 98% of the time I've needed to go to the toilet, it's been in the disabled. Here at the station.

Here at the station. Okay. Am I normally going to disabled toilets everywhere else? I will have a look around and go, I'm clear. And I might jump in and quickly just do it. Always cleaner, always cleaner, always nicer. What's the situation for men's bathrooms at, let's say, a shopping centre? Gross.

No, no, no. What I wanted to ask specifically is, and Babs will back me up. In women's bathrooms, you go into the big space. worse. There are, let's say, eight cubicles. One of them in there is designated accessibility friendly. So what I'm asking you, in the men's equivalent, do you have the same? You walk in, you've got a trough maybe of urinal, but do you have a bank of cubicles and one of them is denoted accessibility?

There's usually less cubicles because of the urinal. Yes, but he's one of the doors. This is to the disabled. It depends on what you are. But there's two, you've noticed in the bathrooms here, there's two of them that are being used as storage. Cleaning chemicals. Because here it's different. It's its own room.

You're not walking into the men's and one has been denoted. Because I have a feeling and I tried this other day. I use the air freshen up, just to paint a nice picture. And I moved it to a different place when in this morning, it's still in the same spot. So, are you the only one? Am I the only one using said disabled toilet? So there's clearly pulling. plenty of space for it to be used.

Keep using it. Why can't you use the men's? We are here before most of the office. It's not like you're competing with 40 people. It's a bit smaller. It's you, shy guy and two blokes down the hall. It's a bit smaller. What are you doing?

Why do you need to? You feel like you have your own space. Yeah, it's a space thing. You know what I mean? Have you, Shagga, you've never ducked into the disabled? No, I don't do that at work. Oh, you barely does anything at work. hair work, but I'll use the thing.

But if there was a back of the air, I'd go off the balcony. But what do you need all this space for, you can pee. I've seen you do it. I just think it's nice. In the end of a song, you go, oh, 90 seconds to go. You can go. So why do you need to stretch out in a mansion of your own? I don't need it.

But I like it. I like the mansion. Wait, is this just for two or one? One, bro. Why does he need a mansion for one? Yeah, that's what I don't know. You don't need a mansion for one, but hey, does anyone need a mansion for one? Because this is the issue.

When we do have someone who needs it, if you're in there, even if it's been 30 seconds, and Sabrina Carpenter's ending, that's the issue. I think I say Sabrina Carlin's coming here and she's disabled. I was like, she's all right, mate. I'm saying. I was like, why should you come in here? You don't need long in there, but that's the issue.

It's not for you. And you have another option. What I wanted to get to. I've got a few more options. I just think that it's nice in there and always much clean. now and smells good, and I would like to use that more. So is that... But do you feel funny about it?

In your heart of hearts, do you feel funny about it? That's why you brought it to the show. Be honest. I thought it would be some fun radio gag, and I think I'm going to keep doing it, to be perfectly honest. I might even take the... No, I can't take the disabled sign off it. I was going to say, Rowan...

No, I'm glad you caught yourself. You want to rebrand it Rowan's Lou? Like, of course, Rowan needs it. No. The new guy. You're not going to do that. No, no, no, no, don't do that. Don't do that.

What would you do if it was in a bank, like in the bathroom, the way I described for the women's? You've got eight and then you've got one at the end. You're missing the point. I don't mind. And there's a cue of people. No, no, I'm asking you. And there's a cue of people. Do you go, well, I could get in and out or do you go, no, I'll leave it and I'll wait for one to free up.

No, I just go straight to disabled. You would. If it was free, if it was free. Whatever. Really? If it's free, I'm doing it. Get them in, get them out. Do you also park in disabled parking?

Absolutely not. That's not cool. What's the difference? What's the difference? The same sticker. Same, well, no, what? You can't park in a disabled park. What's the difference of doing a number two?

No one's here. See, the thing is, in a disabled park, it's free because parking's terrible everywhere. But here, no one's here. I'm jumping in the disabled, baby. It's an empty room. I feel funny about it. I. Well, you're not holding my, to we.

You're not what? You're not holding my fang. Wee. This is Jess and Rowan. I don't know where you sit on a good old smooch, but if you're on the fence, I'm about to push you over to one side. The positive physiological effects

of a make-out session, Rowan. Okay, yeah. Where do you stand on just sitting on the couch with your misso and having a good old patch? Just a snog? Just a snog. Nope, I'm all right with it. Preferred in the bedroom.

No, I'm just talking, having a nice, good old. old hash session. Yeah, it feels good. I don't remember the last time I did that. It saddens me to reflect on it. My husband and I have gotten to this era of just like the, what, see ya, how you going?

But a make-out session, apparently, shy guy, is very good for our health and well-being. Has to be a minimum of 20 seconds. All right, so that's a good, that's a good extended patch. I think with Lucy and I get passion and it's around 20 seconds. Love that. It releases the happy hormones. Oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin and endorphins. Natural feel-good hormones that can reduce, get this, stress and pain.

Wow. So if you're feeling a little bit of, oh, my tennis elbow's playing up, maybe you have a little pash with your loved one. I don't have a tennis elbow. Well, whatever pain you've got, maybe your exma's particularly itchy. Maybe you can smooch. Oh, so I can get rid of it with smooching? Well, according to this, it actually helps with allergies. Oh, you got the peanut allergy.

I'll eat peanuts and then smooch and I'll be okay? You don't need your epipendale. No, that's obviously we're joking. Oh. A 10-second makeout session transfers around, quick guess, how many million helpful bacteria? 39 million. 80 million. What?

Helpful bacteria can be transferred from your partner to you, which helps ease, according to a study in Japan. Yeah. can help ease the severity of allergic reaction by lowering levels of the antibody that plays a central role in the body's allergen defence. This is amazing. That's really funny. One time I had a doctor say to me, don't ever let your partner eat the Brazil nut and then kiss you because...

Will it flare you up? It'll flare me up. Hang on, so are you not just peanuts? Are you all nuts? No, Brazil nut is like also in the bodily fluid. So Brazil nuts are really bad. Do they linger? The Brazil nuts?

Yes. And if Lucy, my girlfriend, my girlfriend, Percy, for instance, had peanut butter. It gives to be bad, bad, bad, that. She can't have a Ferreiro-Rosher and smoochia. There's no peanut butter in the house. No, of course not. However, if she had the peanut butter and then kissed you for 20 seconds, would it be neutral?

What do you mean? No, well, this is saying are transferring the good. The Japanese are saying it helps. You've been on Google AI again. What's going on? I'm just reading the, it's from body and soul. Love honey expert, Christine. She's saying kissing is really good for you, but I would put an asterisk maybe.

on that one, easing the severity of allergic reactions. If a doctor has told you, maybe you take that advice. So how you feel in the moment? You feel like you could do with a little bit of... Well, I had a little block nose yesterday, but I made pastina, which is like the Italian penicillin. And I feel all right now. I didn't need no smooch.

My husband works too hard. He's got no time to kiss me. You say he's got 20 minutes to smooch his darling. 20 seconds. 20 seconds to kiss his darling wife on the mouth. He gets home after I go to bed. He's not smooching me awake, is he? Wake up.

Wake up. Let's have a patch. Oh, I would love. But how romantic. Oh, wouldn't that little spontaneous wake-up patch? Oh, I would love. But he's got like a, oh, go brush your teeth, your breasts, jeans. Is he so that to you really?

It's a real mood killer. Oh, Angus. Just kissed me even with my fish, breath. This is Jess and Rowan. Jess and Rowan's 10K alpha bucks on hit. Oh, yeah, we've been getting very close to giving this away. I had a couple of nines, getting lovely. I can feel it kind of bubbling away, Amy.

Do you reckon it's coming away with you now? I really hope so. It's my birthday today. Happy birthday. Happy birthday, Amy. What present are you going to buy yourself when you win 10 grand? Maybe a nice holiday, but I also want to put the money towards getting my first home. So that would be a really good step.

I love that. A little bit of sensible and a little bit of splurgy. Good for you, Amy. Yeah, of course. How old are you turning today? I'm turning 26 today. 26. It's a great age.

Good age. great age. All righty, Amy, God, we'd love to give 10 grand to the birthday girl. The letter you are going to work with today, babe, it's P. P for presents. Okay. Okay. All right, yeah. Your time will start after the first question. Let's do it. Starting with the letter P, we need you to name. A zoo animal. Panda. A flower. Pionni.

A country. Pakistan. A soft drink. Pepsi. An animated character. A shape? Pass. An adjective. Passed. A film franchise.

Pandora. No. Oh my God. A band. Passed. A pantry item. Passed off. An animated.

It does not. Oh, damn. Get off to a better start than that. You were rocking, Amy. You were rocking. I was so hopeful. I was. I was thinking I was getting it.

Yeah. Oh, that's where you trip up. That's where your mind starts racing. You go, don't screw it up, don't screw it up. And then that happens. No. Oh, Amy. Listen, you could have had Pepper Pig for animated character, shape.

Pentagon. Adjective, powerful, patient, peaceful. Film franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean, band, Paramore, Pentagon Disco, Pantry item you had with pasta. So you have five. Five's not too bad. It's not bad. It's not bad.

It's a pass mark, Amy. For your birthday. Yes. Sorry, we couldn't get your. 10 grand. That's okay. Thank you anyway. Oh, you're welcome.

We are playing again tomorrow, 7 and 8 o'clock. We'll turn to call 13, 10,000 to $10,000. And next, talking about the 80s first today, Jess. I know. There's something the kids these days will just never know, Rowan. Do it next. This is Jess and Rowan. Now, a bit of a few things going around that were totally normal in the 80s.

That would be weird today that I thought we should talk about. I love this. Anything that you wish from the 80s, we're still. doing? Anything a bit uncouth? I wasn't alive in the 80s. You know the old age. But would we consider kind of the 90s a bit similar?

Maybe a bit similar. The idea that my two-year-old daughter will have no idea about some of this stuff wigs me out. Like growing up where you had the landline phone with the curly string. Yeah. And you would try and hide behind a door to just get some privacy from your eavesdropping little brother. I like that. I don't know.

It just made me feel a bit more grounded. You spend all day with Camille at school, but then you'd call her as soon as you got home. Some, you must have already read this because that's one of them. People are wishing you could still have the landlines. Because now in my 30s, in the modern day, Rowan, when my phone rings, I get scared. I don't know what shifted, but I don't do phone calls.

Scared? I don't like it. I think phone calls equals bad news. Someone's calling me to say someone's died. Oh, really? Whereas back in the day, the phone call was exciting. Spending time on the phone was exciting. Spanza who's calling me.

If it's someone that I would never think of, why are they calling me? Boss Jays has never called me to yell at me, but every time he calls me, I think, I've done something. He's calling to yell at me. I'm getting fired. He calls me, I think,

what's he got for me? Must be good. What a great attitude. You're a glass-huffle kind of guy, whereas I think I'm always on the precipice of getting pushed out. Not all the time. Well, I haven't been here long, so.

Yeah, give it another week. Give it another week. There's a few things here that I think would be good if we brought back. Okay. For example, writing a handwritten letter, sending it in the mail. Isn't that nice? Snail mail.

I couldn't tell you how to get a stamp these days, as if my kid's going to know how to do that. I wouldn't even tell if you still needed a stamp. Does that something you need for a piece of... I don't know how it was saying? I think you need a stamp. Well, not on an email, obviously, but snail mail, yeah, you need a stamp. People are missing, now I'm not condoning this, missing smoking inside restaurants. Total 80s chaos they were calling it.

Kids are running around smoking. You can't be doing that. I swear I got on a plane the other day and it still had the little, ash tray thing in the armrest. I went, how old is this? Oh, you get a new plane for us, guys. I'd like to get off, please. Get a new plane for us, guys. This was something in the 80s that I didn't realize happened, using so much hairspray that you'd go through a can a week. That's a lot of hairspray. But yeah, because that was the style of the time. That's a lot of hair. Now I think we're all about the pomade. Slicking it back. I think they said, pomade. I don't actually

own hair spray. Really? I'm a waxy, pomardi kind of gal. You've got thick hair, probably stay there if you want to. Hair spray doesn't do enough for this. Totally. Oh, making prank phone calls. Your refrigerator running? You better go get it. Yeah, I love that.

Not doing that anymore. I love that. We're not allowed to do it anymore. Don't ask. I want to know, yeah. Let's keep them coming. The things that the modern day kids will just have no idea about. No idea.

Hair spray, the corded phone. When you ask a child now to do the hand symbol, we would go like this, right? Oh, the phone. Give us a bell. Thumb up, little finger down. They just do the palm to the ear. Because of the iPhone, well, it makes sense. Circling back to the handwriting.

Yeah. As if my kid's going to know how, penmanship. She already is using the thumbs on a phone. What are they doing at schools? They're writing in schools? Well, every... I'm only 33 and I don't even know if they're writing in schools. Primary schools are doing B-Y-O-D.

Yeah, I just learned about that. How do you do maths on a, like that... AI, man. Oh, no, don't. Now the AI's teaching our kids. I love this one from Bonnie, exactly what we're looking for. The modern day kids will have no idea about MSN Messenger. Oh, she's on the text line.

She's on the text line. She's on the text line. Now she MSN messaged us. That was out everything. That was, you know, that's how I got my first boyfriend. MSN messenger. You hit him up, he DM'd him basically. Well, no, I put it in my little handle.

Oh, yeah, I did that too. Jess loves dad. Oh, love, you didn't even know? Well, Love Heart S. Yeah, of course. And our mutual friend, John, looped him in and goes, have a look at Jess's little handle. C, C, John in?

C, John said. So you see, Daniel. I'm sorry. Daniel went on to become an All-Australian AFL player, so thank you very much. That's my claim for that. Very odd, breath. But MSN messenger.

Say that again. Daniel, Daniel, went on to become an AFL All-Australian. I'm going to figure that out. I know. Daniel. I can tell you who it is in Daniel-Talya. Well done. Who?

Daniel Dahlia. I don't know that name. Damn it. Yeah, but you're not an AFL kid, are you? Yeah, Tasmanian. I would have been sure. Or how dare you disrespect D-T? Anyway, MSN Messenger.

How's this one? Elizabeth has said the modern-day kids will have no idea about walking to the local shops as if I'd let my kid walk anywhere on their own. And getting a massive bag of lollies for only two bucks. I used to do that. I reckon the $2 coin will become extinct by the time Lucia is of age. How about back in the day kids? Like parents would kids send kids down to the shops to pick up a pack of smokes and

and they go, he go, yeah, how much mum need? Are we no, mum? Three packs? Don't worry about it. Even the idea it was like, go and play, come back when it starts getting dark. Are you joking? No way. I try and be a free-range parent.

but if Lucia is out of my eyesight, I'll call the cops. I'm like, what I lost the kid? 13, 1060. What will today's kids never know about that you wish they did? Take your calls next. Jess and Rowan, morning. This is Jess and Rowan. We're asking you right now on 131060.

What will today's kids never know about? That's right. There's a thread going around about stuff from the 80s that the modern day kids will just never come across, never use. Shelly got in touch on the DMs. Jess and Rowan on Instagram. My kids didn't know what a newspaper was. Funny, funny.

But they're still... I get it, though. But they're still making newspapers. We're talking about, like, landlines with a cord. Newspaper. But our parents used to get the newspaper. Parents these days wouldn't get the newspaper. I see them for sale, though.

Who's buying them? Well, my dad. Your dad's keeping the whole publication industry aflox. Yeah, the examiner and the long system. The whole print industry. Hello, Jody. Hey, how's it going? Jody, we couldn't be better, Dahl.

What will the modern day kids just never understand? They're never going to get when you used to listen to the top 40 that, I think it was a Saturday or something, every week. And you'd have your tape deck ready, and you'd have your little tape, and you'd have your fingers on the button to record it, and you record every song that you love. Yes, the cassette. You would start requesting, requesting, requesting,

so that you knew your song was going to be played, so then you can record the song and keep listening to the song off the air. Yes, Jody, did you do the song? Same thing as well with your favorite TV show or you knew, you know, true lies was going to be on Channel 10 so you'd get the VCR ready and you'd go record and then stop so you miss the ads and then record again when Arnie came back. They'll never know that. It's an absolute classic photo, isn't it?

Let's go to Jessie. Hello, Jesse. Hello. Hello. What will the modern day kids just never know about? It's not too mind-blowing, but the other day I discovered my three sons don't know the game slaps with your hands. Slaps.

Sorry, are you saying slaps like S for Snake or flaps like Flaps like F FRAF for Fred? I heard flaps. Slaps. You know how you put your hands together and you have to like suck the other hand? Like knuckles. Slaps with an S. Yep. Yes, yes.

Yeah, to be fair, I don't know if I know that game. Oh, no. You can't do this. You can't slap each other. Oh, to be fair, I didn't know what it was called. Did you try and play with your kids and they were like, ma, what the hell are you on about? Well, I've got three boys And they just bash each other

I was like, how about we do something a little more controlled And try this? Yeah, but I was like, we also don't just flog each other We just take it easy But yeah, they loved it though We can slap in the constraints of the game slaps We don't just punch on with our siblings Yeah, only the back of the hands

We slap the back of the hands That's right, and you got to hit me as hard as I hit you None of this power tripping Hello Shannon Shannon, what will the modern day kids just never? I know about. The indestructible Nokia phone. Bro, I used to have one of those when I was living in Canada.

I used to throw it to mates over the snow. It used to get in the snow. I used to throw it at walls. Pick it back together. It would be perfect. And let's not get into the battery life. You could charge that thing once. You're good for February.

You know, I had a thought the other day. I was like, I think I want one. And then I use my iPhone for other things and then just text people off the Nokia. They're still making the month. They're still making the dumb phone has come back in a big way. People going, I need to get off social media or at least. the internet, I reckon you could get a Nokia. Would you do the dumb phone, Shannon?

Oh yeah, we used to throw it over the bus depot and watch the smash and then put it back together. And then still call your mum to pick you up. What amazing. The kids won't have these days. I know now this thing is worth $2,000. I drop it the next week and the whole front and back shatters. It's just ruined.

Rachel, good morning. Hi. Hello. What will the modern day kids just never know about? The video shop. Oh, Val-A. How have none of us ever, why do we not say Blockbuster?

Blockbuster video, easy. The idea that you would actually commit to a video for a week and you're like, well, I'm going to watch it six times with my brother. I used to do video games too. Did you do video games? You used to borrow our PlayStation 5 games. When video games came out, that was the actual ultimate. My brother lost his, he loved it.

Yeah. And just been out of when my dad got let you get the expensive one-night movies, that was just the ultimate. Amen. Oh, yeah. to do a weekly. We're going extraordinary. We're going.

We return tomorrow and enjoy. You know how obviously streaming services killed the video easy and the blockbuster? Yeah. Can you hire games in the same way? Like is that a million dollar idea no one has come back with, like a video easy, but for games of the modern era?

Or is that, is that not a thing? No, Xbox does that. It's called GamePass. Okay. Yeah, it's a good one. Okay, there you go. We get you an Xbox or something. You can play some games.

I was a Super Nintendo kid. Oh. This is Jess and Rowan. You celebrate. the start of Chinese Lunar New Year today. Yeah, okay. Tuesday, Feb 17, Year of the Fire Horse. Today.

Today. 17th. We talked about it last week that Draco Malfoy has kind of accidentally become the face of the Year of the Fire Horse because Draco Malfoy I think loosely translates to like fire and horse. So a lot of people in China are getting merch of Draco Malfoy, putting it on their front doors. It'll bring prosperity. Sure. But we've got here a list of things we need to be avoid. on this day in particular to make sure that the year ahead is prosperous and not full of bad luck,

Rowan. Okay. The fire horse punishes indecision, hesitation and passiveness. This is not a year to play it small, but particularly on day one, we've got to make sure we're doing a few things, all right? Set ourselves up for success. I hope you haven't done some of these already. I mean, we're well into the morning.

It's 839. Have you had any porridge? No. You're good, because that brings poverty. No, I don't want to. that. Allegedly. Have you washed your hair today?

Or did you have plans to wash your hair today? I wet it. Oh, you might have had a caveat there. See, I've got a hair appointment book this afternoon. Hair washing, allegedly, is going to wash away good luck. Yeah. So avoid that if you can. I'd move that one.

I think I should too. But I would argue a bad hair day is worse luck for me than washing my hair. Okay. Well, let me test it and let's see how crappy my 2026. Okay. That's a big gamble. We've already done something. Well, we all have.

I heard you utter it under your breath before because you are the slim reaper. No unlucky words said out loud today, Rowan. What are they? Death being one of them. Oh, I've said it again. Well done. What have you done that for? The same bird as me now.

Because allegedly, if you say the unlucky word, it will come to you. Just hold them up. Can you say? Is there a list there of them? No, no. That was the only one. Oh, okay. So you said this is example.

So how do we know what the other words are bad? I don't know what's on your list of chores to complete on a Tuesday, but if sweeping is one of them, do you own a broom? Yeah. Okay. I would have actually would have gone gardening today, so no gardening today. Oh, I could garden and broom. No gardening.

Well, no sweeping specifically. Yes. See, he doesn't say no vacuuming. I don't own a broom. I own a vacuum. Sweeping could sweep away the wealth coming your way. We need all the wealth goes. Avoid that today.

So if you just ended our Live the Dream code word, 50 grand part of it, don't sweep. because essentially you're sweeping away the 50 grand. Don't use scissors or knives. Yeah, okay. Well, doesn't say why. I'm assuming you cut the threads of prosperity.

What are we doing with knives? You haven't soup and it will be very chunky because you can't cut up the carrot. Okay. But you can use a spoon. No knives today. Wow. No crying. Right.

Because crying equals bad luck. Sure. Babs. Now this is a big one. Okay. Hang on a minute. These do feel quite targeted. Rowan, this is a big one.

because you shared something in your repertoire. Now you've started breakfast radio. What? Come the afternoon, you get a little sleepy. Yeah, a little nap. No napping, it says. Okay, no nap today. I don't want to leave it a chance.

It sets a lazy tone for the year of the firehorse. You can nap tomorrow, but on day one of the lunar new year, no napping. Interesting. Okay. Great. So there you go. If you would like a prosperous year of the fire horse symbolizing courage, dedication and action, avoid those things.

Maybe you're about to bring a spoonful of porridge to your lips. Throw it away. So don't cut anything. Don't cut anything. I was going to say make toast, but you can't spread butter with a knife. Don't wash your hair and don't sweep. With the back of your hand, just buttering the toast. Could I smear the toast in the tub of butter?

I use the knife for breakfast. Oh, no. This is Jess and Rowan. You missed any other show. Our podcast lives on the listener app. Listen to wherever get your podcast. Go there. Back tomorrow with Alpha Bucks.

Another code word. Go check out Shy Guy and Ruff. and got to test drive. Oh, yeah, yeah. The Subaru Forrester all will drive hybrid touring. If you are thinking of a new car anyway, the Subaru Forestry is fantastic. Amen.

Not made to say it, I just loved it. And two birds once, no, not only did you get to test drive the car, you also got to feed. Mate, now we can expense the Big Mac. Not an idiot. Did you keep the receipt? Absolutely.
