Do Stuff To...
On Fridays during The Morning Rumble, a section of the show was called 'Do Stuff To Jono Fridays'. This formed a large part of the entertainment value of the station and one of the early distinguishing features of The Rock. Nick & Rog would think up stunts to do to fellow Rock Jock, Jono. Some of the stunts were 'The Human Slushy', 'The Pyramid of Fire', 'Human Coleslaw', 'Sleigh of Fire', 'The Skater Ramp of Doom', a full body wax, and giving Jono a tattoo on his bum but not telling him that it was a love heart with Nick & Rog's names. Photos, video and details of a number of the 'Do Stuff To Jono' episodes can be viewed here.
In 2006 when Jono got his own slot with Robert on weekday afternoons, the show then became "Do Stuff To Jimmy". Stunts included putting electrodes on his nipples, and other assorted painful and humiliating acts. Jimmy is no longer working at The Rock, and there is currently no 'Do Stuff' segment.
A one-off 'Final Ever Do Stuff To Jono' stunt was planned and executed in September 2009, during which Jono performed a 'Mega Stunt' - riding a BMX bike down a steep slope, through pyrotechnics and a pane of glass, and finally scaling a ramp to jump over a parked ute. This final 'Do Stuff To Jono' stunt can be viewed here.

Famous quotes containing the words stuff to and/or stuff:
“Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff to any degree of fineness; but, nevertheless, what you get out depends on what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
“Too much traffic with a quotation book begets a conviction of ignorance in a sensitive reader. Not only is there a mass of quotable stuff he never quotes, but an even vaster realm of which he has never heard.”
—Robertson Davies (b. 1913)
