What memorable moments do JB and Billy share from 2026?
This is Triple M's Rush Hour. The Penrite Oil. 100 years still driven. JB and Billy started strong. Oh, well, we're off to a crouching start. That's exactly jumped out of the block. And they've only gotten better. We're crawling to the line. We're not resting to take you. So Triple M's Rush Hour is taking a bye. I'll have a spell. Have a spell, Matt. And instead, we give you the best of JB and Billy. Do you reckon anyone on any other show is rolling with this sort of stuff? It's the Rush Hour's mid-season break. I feel good! On Triple M.
J-Band Bill are on a well-earned, well, some would argue not that well-earned break. So we're looking back at our favourite moments from 2026.
And this hour, the great Sam Pang will join us to explain why he's not hosting the Logies anymore.
Also, this hour, the boys will look back at one of the funniest segments in footy show history, Big Bill's House. Billy also had a brand-new segment that we were, frankly, scared of him trying to pronounce. And first up, we were off to JB's holiday house in Port Ferry. The whole Rush Hour team drove down to see him on our way to Gather Round, but his joint was a little tricky to find. Now, this is all very well. And a lot of people who are disciples of our show will be thinking this is a much better result if Jim does it on his own. But I'm not doing two hours of radio by myself. So where is Fat and Rabs and anyone else for that matter? Fat, where are you? Hey, Jimmy, Jimmy, we're walking along the beach.
Which is your house, mate? I don't know which one's your house. Where are you? We're on the beach, mate. We're on the beach. Can you see us? I'm waving now. Which house? Which one? Look at this imbecilic man. He's got budgie smugglers on. He's now doing a brown eye. He's got a Geelong scarf and beanie on, and his massive guts stuck out the front. Where are you? Rebs has got a surfboard. What are you doing, you two? Well, is that your house there?
Why did Sam Pang step down from hosting the Logies?
Wait. I reckon the one I'm sitting in would be my house, Vat, yes. We made it. We're coming up. Put some clothes on. You're not coming in here looking like, oh, look at that.
What was the chaos of Big Bill's House segment like?
We're coming up now, Jim. Oh, my God. Back in the studio. Put clothes on before you get in here. Play something rappy next when they're better presented. Look at him. Look at that thing out the front. The roof. Triple M's rush hour live from JB's beach hut. We've made it upstairs, Bill. He's brought half the beach in with him, by the way.
What new segment did Billy introduce that raised eyebrows?
Look at his thongs. He's got sand all over him. I've been on the beach and it's bloody cold down there. Of course it is.
Wowee. It's really cold.
I'll tell you what, Jim, you've got a lovely house here. This is magnificent. There's Lisa over there. Hello, Lisa. Cooking up the spaghetti and garlic bread.
How did Billy nearly cost the show its license?
Good on you, Lisa. She's got a big pot. Not cooking anything for you. Good on you, Lise. Well done. In fact, you could have rinsed your feet off before you came inside. Well, I'm not going to tell you this, but I did, and then I went through your bathroom. Oh, no. With sand. No, we just got sand all through the bathroom. And one of those really nice towels I grabbed and just... Oh, my God. What have I allowed here? You wait for tonight. Oh, no. Anyway, lovely to be here.
What insights does Bruce McAvaney share during his chat?
Now, Fat. Yes. That's not your best foot forward, by the way, what you just performed on the beach. Did I look tanned? No, you looked white and fat and a tiny little doodle. Like literally a tiny little, like a thumb. No, it was not. Tell me what Greenpeace are doing out here. They're trying to put a harpoon into you. That's what they're doing.
You're one whale they're not going to protect. This is the Rush Hours mid-season break. Back soon with more of the best from JB and Billy.
This next guest reluctantly comes in about once a year. It's the great Sam.
Our next guest has hosted the Logie Awards for the last three years, although it's felt like much longer.
Jimmy Barnes singing Working Class Man. Welcome to the 1985 Logies. I'm your host, Greg Evans.
But a warning to whoever hosts the awards next, don't be looking for an envelope.
Be good paying, Giga.
