Susan O'Neill.

David Luttrell (0:13)

And...

Nicholas Allen-Ducat (0:13)

Nicholas Allen-Ducat.

David Luttrell (0:15)

Nicholas Allen-Ducat.

Nicholas Allen-Ducat (0:16)

Very long name.

David Luttrell (0:17)

Is everyone known, is that in your family?

Nicholas Allen-Ducat (0:19)

Uh, what, Allen-Ducat? Yeah. Well, I mean, Abby's now a bari, and my little sister's now a bishop, so they...

David Luttrell (0:24)

So she's now Laura Bishop.

Nicholas Allen-Ducat (0:25)

They've shed their names.

David Luttrell (0:26)

I'm never gonna get used to that. None either. This is gonna sound sexist. It's not meant to be. But with female friends in particular, I just always call them their... Actually, it's reverse sexism.

Nicholas Allen-Ducat (0:35)

It's, yeah, it is.

David Luttrell (0:36)

Because I'm calling them their maiden names. Like my friend Jane Williams, I will never call... I call her Jamo, because her name was Jane Moore, and in my mind, she will always be Jane Moore.

Nicholas Allen-Ducat (0:45)

I know Jane. I know Jane Williams.

Susie O'Neill (0:46)

That's not her.

David Luttrell (0:47)

Jane Williams, do you know her? Yeah, yeah. Friends of her cousin.

Susie O'Neill (0:49)

That's not reverse sexist.

David Luttrell (0:50)

The Broncos.

Nicholas Allen-Ducat (0:51)

Lockie.

David Luttrell (0:51)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Lockie, Marana.

Nicholas Allen-Ducat (0:53)

Yeah.

Susie O'Neill (0:53)

But that's okay, isn't it?

David Luttrell (0:55)

You can call people... Well, it's reverse, because I'm actually... I'm... This is a yell for the...

Nicholas Allen-Ducat (0:59)

Keep your own name.

David Luttrell (1:00)

Matriarch.

Nicholas Allen-Ducat (1:01)

These days, it's becoming more common, Suse, for ladies to not change their last name.

Susie O'Neill (1:05)

Yeah, did Morgan change her last name?

David Luttrell (1:07)

So on Instagram...

Nicholas Allen-Ducat (1:08)

Yeah, you didn't. But I mean, you have a famous name. On Instagram, Morgan's Allen-Ducat. And when we go to a van, there's Luttsy Burps. Excuse me. Off Mike, when Mike was off, still heard it.

But legally, her last name is still Rutley, like her family name.

David Luttrell (1:21)

I still... Yeah, I still... I'm not going to change that one.

Susie O'Neill (1:24)

Change that one.

David Luttrell (1:26)

From Rutley to bloody Allen-Ducat, she's gone from a prop forward at the Logan Stingray Rugby League team to fly half for the Wallabies. Yes, it's so true. That is true, isn't it? That is an upgrade. There she is, Morgan Allen-Ducat, the product of Joseph's College nudging.

Her father was a sheep farmer from Toowoomba.

Nicholas Allen-Ducat (1:47)

Yeah, really great origin story. Resurrectly.

Susie O'Neill (1:50)

That's pretty funny. I was going to say something, but I completely gone blank.

David Luttrell (1:52)

Sorry.

Susie O'Neill (1:53)

What are we talking about? No.

Names. I got a letter the other day dressed to Mr. and Mrs. CR. Fairley. You can get that a bit. So it's Clifford Roy Fairley.

David Luttrell (2:04)

Yeah. Okay, here's a question.

Susie O'Neill (2:05)

You know, they join it together. Like school fees or school stuff was always that. Mr. and Mrs. CR.

David Luttrell (2:09)

Are you pissed off? This would have happened to you. You were probably too young to be pissed off by it at this point.

I was watching American Pie The Wedding the other night. You know, the wedding.

Nicholas Allen-Ducat (2:19)

Oh, American Pie The Wedding.

David Luttrell (2:21)

I can't remember the names, but so for instance, they said, please welcome to the dance floor, Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Fairley. I think it went for the first dance. Yeah, yeah.

Susie O'Neill (2:30)

I think they do it. Yeah, yeah. Just the man's name.

David Luttrell (2:31)

So yeah, but I think, I don't know. I've MC'd enough that I can say that.

I say, please welcome Cliff and Susan. Yeah.

Susie O'Neill (2:38)

I don't know if I did get that at my wedding, but that's what they generally do, which is hence the letter I got. Mr. and Mrs. CR. Fairley.

Nicholas Allen-Ducat (2:45)

I've never heard that at any wedding I've been to in the last sort of five years.

David Luttrell (2:48)

Okay. Maybe it's changed.

Nicholas Allen-Ducat (2:49)

Yeah.

Susie O'Neill (2:49)

But that's what it usually was.

David Luttrell (2:50)

That's interesting.

Susie O'Neill (2:51)

I don't know who did mine. I reckon they would have.

David Luttrell (2:54)

For sure.

Susie O'Neill (2:55)

I would have said Mr. and Mrs. Fairley, I reckon, as it's kind of a joke, not a joke.

Nicholas Allen-Ducat (2:58)

Please welcome the new Mr. and Mrs. Allen-Ducat we got.

Susie O'Neill (3:02)

Yeah, maybe that.

David Luttrell (3:03)
