A listener production. Activate

0:08

your internet. Because the

0:10

Hey Mission Andy podcast starts

0:13

in three, two...

0:18

Sorry, still buffering. One.

0:20

Ahoy to my ham,

0:22

ham. Thank

0:26

you, and? Ahoy to

0:28

my cheese, Jack. Ahoy. I

0:31

thought we were just doing slightly shortened

0:33

versions of each other's names. Are we

0:35

a ham and cheese sandwich? If you're

0:37

a pineapple, Mike needs a holiday. I'm

0:40

tomato. No, this used to

0:43

have some class about it this game. It

0:48

used to be like famous astronomers. Now

0:51

it's just things you might put in a sandwich. Mike,

0:55

just hold up fingers out of pen of how

0:57

hard it was to get that one this way.

0:59

And tuffy. Three.

1:01

Three. Well, I

1:03

mean, even the trees, even trees, I

1:05

suppose there's parts of him going, oh,

1:07

okay, it's down to lettuce, cheese and

1:10

peanut butter. You're out. We're going to

1:12

keep cheese. Moving through to the semi

1:14

final, we've got tomato versus elf, alpha

1:16

versus salami. Or he could have literally

1:18

just been eating breakfast and thought, I

1:20

haven't got one yet. What's in my

1:22

hand? Oh, we're doing

1:24

the podcast today. We've

1:26

got Cheerios, milk and spoon. Things that might

1:28

be found in a bowl. Mike, can we

1:30

make a guarantee that next week's better? A

1:33

challenge. Yeah, it wasn't a high bar, to

1:35

be honest. He's giving me the thumbs up.

1:37

Well done, Mike. That's not

1:40

a high bar. Also to Damien, in New

1:42

York, who used the very easy

1:44

to use system, hamishnanny.com to upload what he's

1:46

been up to. A

1:48

website. Hey, gents. I am

1:51

currently in New York City on the corner of

1:53

Columbus and 77th Street and was walking past

1:57

a little street vendor. And what do I

1:59

see? But... a bucket

2:01

of Honey Crisp apples. So

2:04

I thought I'd give you a

2:06

live sound of me eating a

2:08

Honey Crisp. Get ready for it.

2:13

Nice. Delicious.

2:16

Thanks boys. Do you

2:18

have the audio quality on that? Yeah, you're

2:20

so good. You walking around with a shotgun

2:22

knife? A professional level.

2:26

Quite sensory, wasn't it? In fact, it really reminds me,

2:28

did you get a lot of emails this week on

2:30

your side of the fence? Yeah, it's been going up

2:32

a little bit. There's a new apple. It's called the

2:34

Rev Love Apple Jack. Red on the... In

2:37

Australia or you gotta go to Australia? Adelaide,

2:39

grown only in the Adelaide Hills. It's

2:42

red on the inside as well as the apple. So

2:45

it feels... Like if it was green, it would

2:48

feel like some patties of the apple. But you

2:50

know, it feels like something you do for a

2:52

promotional reason. Yeah, it's so similar

2:54

to the red that you don't know where it's in

2:56

ends and the flush stuff. No. Skin

2:58

apple, wow. No.

3:01

Like the apple version of all kit, no cat. Yeah.

3:07

All skin, no ceiling. No, no, it's... You

3:09

can definitely see the difference, different shapes, different

3:11

texture. But anyway, it's not our place to

3:13

talk about apples. We obviously... Yeah,

3:16

if we damage ourselves. If we think this is worth, pod

3:18

worth, we'll get on the apple list. Get on

3:20

the professional. I would say that if there was ever

3:22

like a genetic scientist or something that had like an

3:24

allure about him, like, you know, he's the pain, he's

3:27

the death, like he can make anything. That's

3:29

what you'd throw at him. Like full skin apple.

3:31

Full skin apple. That would be the biggest challenge.

3:33

That would be the hardest challenge for an apple

3:35

scientist, I reckon. Yeah, but it's

3:38

also not a great outcome. Yeah. No,

3:40

I'm not saying it's more of a trick apple. Not for

3:42

flavour-based reasons. It's just a show you

3:44

can do it. No, it's not a prank. It's

3:46

just a prank. It's

3:50

just a high difficulty apple to make. Hey,

3:52

we've got to talk about something. We've got

3:54

to not talk about something off the top

3:56

of the show this week. We do. And

3:59

Jack. It'd be fair to say that within

4:02

your household, what

4:04

were a worry levels at? Hold it up, hold up.

4:06

Fingers out of it. Yeah,

4:09

we're getting close to the top. I'm

4:11

holding up nine fingers. Yes. The

4:14

guy we're not allowed to talk about who

4:16

helps me,

4:18

my wife and her entire family

4:21

travel in their class

4:23

better than economy. Yeah.

4:27

It is. It's like at 1951

4:29

prices. Yeah,

4:32

exactly. Like prices never seen before since they

4:34

offered you like plain branded cigarettes on

4:36

the plane. Yes. Yes. I think

4:38

what's happened is since you've released the

4:41

t-shirt, letting people know that they shouldn't

4:43

speak about him helping you. I have

4:45

been so surprising that levels have gone

4:47

up. I've actually, this is the exact

4:49

opposite of what we'd hope to achieve.

4:51

Yeah, I personally found the, uh, at

4:53

just anecdotally mentions of him

4:55

have gone skyrocketed. Oh, that is a

4:57

big show. That doesn't make any sense.

5:00

That doesn't track at all with

5:02

what you would expect from a

5:04

normal propaganda campaign. Okay.

5:07

Jack reached out to us this week and

5:09

said, hey guys, funds. Well, Jack

5:12

actually asked a question, which is maybe

5:15

before. I was like, I never thought he goes,

5:17

what if it's having the opposite effect? Mate,

5:19

you could be kidding. People

5:21

buying, I will not mention Mr. Ralph

5:23

and we'll try not to mention him ever again. That

5:26

t-shirt, you are going to see a slight

5:28

blip. You're going to see a slight

5:30

blip in mentions whilst

5:33

the notion of taking the pledge of silence flies

5:35

around the country and really takes hold. But then

5:37

after that, you will get the

5:39

silence will be deafening. Deafening

5:41

Jack, even a small murmur. And I think that's all

5:43

we're looking at here. A murmur, isn't

5:46

a murmur a small price to pay for

5:48

eternal silence? Yeah, we are looking forward to

5:50

the silence. I can't tell you that.

5:54

Everybody in the family is very much looking forward to

5:56

the time. I'm going to say, get more t-shirts out.

6:00

I'm wearing one today. This is the first time you've

6:02

seen it Jack. I will never

6:04

mention Mr Ralph. You can see how tasteful

6:06

we've been. We've actually printed. It's actually very

6:08

clever. It's almost invisible. With all

6:10

my insights you can't actually see it that

6:12

clearly. It is very subtle. I

6:15

can only go off what my feelings during the

6:17

week has been an increased invention. And again that's

6:19

a nerve of the lir. You are going to

6:21

get the nerve of the lir. Well

6:23

people, head to hamishjenny.com if you

6:25

want to obviously make the pledge. What

6:27

this actually tells me is people need to pledge harder.

6:29

I mean there's a very very limited run of these

6:32

t-shirts. I think about half are gone. We

6:34

definitely aren't going to make any

6:36

more. Going off. I can't.

6:38

We've got Jack's in, Lauren's in,

6:40

down at the factory laying into

6:42

the machine with crowbars. And

6:45

getting a sense of Jack's wife we should

6:47

put a stop to the I will never

6:49

mention Mr Ralph pin that we'd planned to

6:51

produce. Hatter scrap, the hatter out, the

6:53

pins are out. I didn't mean

6:56

to be wet blanket for all one

6:58

merchandise. I

7:00

will say that. I believe in the good this merchandise

7:02

can do. Can I just say that Jack? I'm

7:04

shocked to hear about the murmurings. But I say

7:06

we double down. What have been your own personal

7:09

experiences this week after releasing the merchandise? Do you

7:11

feel there's been an increase in mentions of Mr

7:13

R? Increase in pledges

7:15

not to. Yeah I think we've had a lot

7:17

of people stop us in the street gleefully letting

7:19

us know that Mr R will... You

7:22

know they have to mention... People

7:24

have said there's going to be some slight early

7:26

mentioning before some of the long term no mentioning.

7:30

People say that to you. The

7:32

slight upturn in minor mentions before silence. I just

7:34

had someone walk up to me in the street

7:36

and do this. Shh.

7:41

That's better. That's all they'd be.

7:43

Hey missionary.com. The

7:46

bad news is it's probably our best t-shirt today I

7:49

would say. Really very comfy. I will say this for

7:51

the lucky people that get their hands on one. Yes

7:54

it might be disappointing if you don't get one.

7:56

But if you do see someone wearing one I

7:58

would like it to be you. Universal amongst

8:00

Hamish and Andy listeners that

8:03

you just mind the zipping of the mouth

8:05

shut. And

8:07

it could be a nice way just let people

8:09

know that their t-shirt's doing its job. And to

8:11

give you a bit of comfort Jack, we had

8:13

a lot of people that had gone to the

8:15

website checked it out and they were leaving audio

8:17

messages about their pledge. And

8:19

there was one in particular at the end,

8:22

which I think will absolutely put your mind at ease. Ahoy

8:26

Hamish, Andy and Jack. This is Madeleine from

8:28

the US. I went to

8:30

order my family or Mr Ralph shirts, but I

8:32

was disappointed to see they don't come in children's

8:34

sizes. My eight month old and

8:36

two year old listened to the podcast when we're in

8:38

the car and I wanted us all to take the

8:40

pledge to never mention Mr Ralph together. It's

8:43

Damien messaging in here from the

8:45

United States of America. If

8:47

you gentlemen would love to ship one out

8:49

to me, I'd be happy to don it.

8:52

Maybe head to LaGuardia or

8:54

JFK. See if anyone's

8:56

got any questions about the team. But

8:58

of course, try and diffuse any questions

9:00

set my way. Tim

9:02

here. I pledge to never

9:04

mention Mr Ralph at home. I

9:07

pledge to never mention Mr Ralph at

9:10

the workplace. I pledge to

9:12

never mention Mr Ralph to all

9:14

my friends, of which there

9:16

are many. Ahoy

9:19

boys, we have a gossip group chat

9:21

and we've all taken the pledge not to

9:23

mention Mr Ralph. Kelly, Charmaine

9:26

and Michelle are all in

9:28

on it. Hello

9:30

boys, number six. The

9:33

actual Mr Ralph here. Or

9:36

should I say the actual Mr Blank.

9:40

I've got the t-shirt, I think it's a great idea.

9:42

I think we keep the chat right down. I wouldn't

9:44

want to see the old Weasel loophole

9:46

closed on our favorite Weasel. I'll

9:50

wear the t-shirt proudly, but I'll

9:53

get out of Sharpie and redact

9:56

all my IDs. And

9:58

you'll never hear me mentioning. my

10:00

name again, up right now, just

10:02

a real Mr. Ralph, signing

10:04

off to her.

10:06

That man just had more people impersonate him

10:08

than Donald Trump. And

10:13

will never know if it got close. Someone

10:16

out there could have nailed it and will never know. hamishneider.com,

10:19

please make the pledge. We see how serious

10:21

this is to Jack and his family. No

10:23

more mucking around. No, we don't even need

10:26

to mention who the t-shirt's about. We all

10:28

know the job it's going to do. I

10:30

think from now it just moves into the

10:32

realm of the t-shirt does the heavy lifting

10:34

and you will see Jack deafening

10:36

violence. The murmur period is

10:39

close to an end. Yeah, absolutely. You'll hear a

10:41

few peeps and then that'll be it. And

10:55

not only did the mandate break, obviously

10:57

upset you over some. But

10:59

many other reasons, all of us that

11:01

was an upset the team. But

11:04

many other instances of things that

11:06

would upset you continued to flood in boxes.

11:08

When I was allowed to do work as

11:11

the mandate break ended, my God was I

11:13

treated to a surprise and a bounty. Let's

11:16

do this. Everything is neat and practical. That's the way he

11:18

likes it. But wonderful performance. Up and envy. Good

11:20

question. What if it wasn't? And

11:24

we'll find out today as we

11:26

continue to upset Ando. Jack,

11:34

you said you had a query. Oh,

11:36

I was surprised to see I was a

11:38

guest of Andy Lee's beach house at the

11:40

end of February. And I was surprised

11:43

to see still hanging up there

11:45

by the way. Like he

11:47

I didn't invite him down. He asked

11:49

whether he could use that. I know exactly

11:51

what would have happened. He had a few full friends. I

11:54

think 12 of them came down. Yeah.

11:58

Jack, was this? I am right.

12:00

So it's you and your fantasy football league. He was

12:02

the whole league Yeah, the whole league

12:04

whole league start of year party Because

12:08

it's interesting because I said to Jack this is

12:11

interesting cuz I said to Jack Hey, you and

12:13

Bianca ever want to get away with you for

12:15

a lovely family little time That's about the amount

12:17

of people you would offer a house I

12:20

know if it's been a busy year obviously

12:22

with breakfast radio and Gordie growing up what

12:25

am I? Yeah, it'd be great. He goes that'd be great I will take

12:27

you up with that a few weeks later text

12:29

message. Can I have my fantasy football? I

12:35

will take you up on that I'll take

12:37

you up on part of it. I'll be there and

12:39

I wonder if I could just rotate the anchor out

12:41

for 11 guys Thank

12:46

you, we were actually we had a great time so thank you for

12:48

having us What

12:51

it is what it Jack saying the thank you card, ain't it? You

12:54

do a card Jack there's no there there wasn't

12:56

a card only because when we got down there

12:58

They seem to be already a gift from

13:00

maybe a previous person had in there Sorry

13:15

It just looks like last thing I

13:17

want Andy to do is like have a long

13:19

way come down to his beach house and his gift I

13:26

Think you've seen anything of my very

13:28

considerate of you Quite

13:36

the bell anyway, this is meant to be me grilling

13:38

back the other way Not

13:40

me putting myself in there headlights, but

13:42

what I did see at Andy's Beach

13:44

House above the fireplace were Stockings

13:47

Christmas stockings hanging up there two months

13:50

after Christmas You

13:52

know we go we go quite late with that kind

13:54

of gear I just got I just got rid of

13:56

the Christmas tree before you arrived next week It

13:59

was a really nice day Anytime that Taylor

14:01

Swift song comes on that she

14:04

says we can leave the Christmas lights

14:06

up through January, Beck always goes, I

14:08

think she's such a twisty. Is it

14:10

directive from Taylor? She

14:13

hasn't told us to take them down yet.

14:15

Honey, it's June, the tree's dead. She's

14:18

going to release a song soon that will

14:20

have further instructions. I

14:24

think that's the vibe. So, Beck, whatever I say, should

14:26

we put these away? Beck's going, no, no,

14:28

no. Yes, any

14:31

moment now, just refreshing Spotify. Refreshing

14:34

Spotify. So,

14:37

yes, it does bother me. It

14:39

does hurt me. I

14:41

would say, though, as a net effect there,

14:44

bringing that topic up, I

14:46

don't think you've walked away from this skirmish, anyway.

14:49

I think you're right. I

14:55

think myself and the listeners have

14:57

delighted in knowing that you've created

14:59

11 of the boys to

15:02

Ando's house and the one gift you gave

15:04

him was the absence of gift clutter. Was

15:08

this a start of, very early to go

15:11

start of season, or was this a reward

15:13

for the last season? No, this is the

15:15

most important part of fantasy, doing the actual

15:17

draft. So, getting everybody into the same room,

15:20

look at a big screen. I

15:22

don't do fantasy football, but is February early to go

15:24

for the draft? No, not really. It's only

15:26

a couple of weeks out from the round one. Yes,

15:29

far enough. And it's good for me to know

15:31

Andy's feeling about, I was probably taking liberties asking

15:34

that, because there was a lot of talk of,

15:36

let's make this an annual event. Hey,

15:43

as long as you don't bring me in. Is

15:46

it just me, or is it completely free

15:49

weekend at a beach house? Pretty good. Hey,

15:54

make it weekly. I mean, it's no skin of

15:56

anyone else except Andy's nose. Oh

16:00

boy, no skin off for gift shops in

16:04

the local area. Oh, they... I'll

16:06

do the gift this week, guys. Gifts, of

16:08

course, mate. I'm sure the kitchen table remains

16:10

completely empty. Wow,

16:14

wow. Yeah. We found a

16:16

few things that might have irked Andy, but it ain't.

16:18

It's stuck in there. Um,

16:21

alright, let's kick it off. Kick it

16:23

off. Alright. Um, Danielle. Danielle. Thanks for

16:25

all the going through that. What a treat for you, though.

16:28

Um, Danielle, have you got something to upstate, Andy? Oh,

16:31

hey, boys. Um, yes, I do. So,

16:34

in my office, we hot desk, and every

16:36

desk has two screens set up. So, we

16:38

just plug in our laptops and use the

16:40

two screens. Um, the

16:43

second screen can either be swivelled

16:45

to portrait or landscape, whatever you

16:47

prefer. Yep. I have

16:49

a co-worker who, every time she

16:51

docks in, her settings

16:53

on her laptop are for a landscape

16:55

screen. No. If the screen is

16:58

portrait, rather than just swivel it, she

17:00

just works on a sideways

17:02

screen. No, no, no. Oh,

17:06

that's great. It's really hard to even move a

17:08

mouse on a screen like that, because you're not

17:10

used to the direction that it's going. You get

17:12

used to it. I mean, who's got the time

17:14

to get behind there and, like, I assume that

17:16

changing the screen orientation would be a lot of

17:18

rejigging. No. It'd just be one

17:21

little screw at the back. Well, one little. You're

17:23

going to get behind the screen. You

17:26

literally just have to turn it. Yeah. Sounds

17:29

like she's doing all right with it. What

17:31

does she say? Awful. Danielle. That is awful.

17:33

I would, I would, I'd probably come in

17:35

early and do it before I wouldn't see

17:37

the office environment watching her do that all

17:39

day. I would love to be your boss

17:41

in a situation like this. It's probably best

17:43

that we ended up being, like, mates and

17:45

co-workers. Yes. Um, rather than you

17:48

get to be your boss, because

17:50

I would deploy you two

17:52

next to each other all the time. And then

17:54

I'd invite other bosses to go watch this. Wonderful,

18:02

thank you Danielle, you're peri peri hot. That

18:04

one, product at Andy, great way to kick

18:06

it off. Kim, have you got some tops

18:08

at Andy? Ahoy

18:11

boys. Ahoy Kim. So our

18:13

family eats a lot of frozen

18:15

berries, so I buy those big

18:17

1 kilo bags that have

18:19

the very convenient

18:21

perforated top that you can just tear

18:23

off. They're

18:26

also blessed with the resealable top that you

18:28

just press shut. I know exactly the one. Yes,

18:30

well my wonderfully fast and least husband,

18:32

he never bothers to tear off that

18:35

convenient perforated top. Instead

18:37

he just gets the scissors, cuts the corner

18:39

off the bottom of the packet, gets

18:42

what he needs, folds the packet over itself and

18:44

back into the freezer it goes. So

18:46

then I come along, I open

18:49

the freezer, grab the bag out, assume

18:51

it's sealed at the top as it

18:53

normally would. And

18:56

the kilo fairies full over the

18:58

floor, they roll under the fridge forever and

19:00

the kids go out. Long night rain.

19:02

Long night rain. Have

19:05

you had a discussion with him? I'd be

19:07

definitely. No, I actually did this morning and

19:09

he told me, oh you think that's bad, you should

19:11

say the one that's in the freezer at the moment.

19:14

I didn't even get the scissors, I just tore it open

19:16

with my teeth. That's what I was going to say, I'm

19:19

surprised he's using the scissors because I get in

19:21

trouble for tearing at all the bags that do

19:23

have the resealable system. But whether

19:25

it's fish fingers or hash brands, whatever

19:27

that plastic is that encases frozen stuff,

19:30

there's a certain breed of us, fast

19:32

and loosey, that quite enjoys the ability we

19:35

have to tear it wide open. As

19:38

soon as the resealable

19:40

function is rendered useless,

19:42

it all travels straight

19:44

into a Tupperware container.

19:47

Yeah, Andy,

19:50

Andy, one of the great crimes of Andy's house

19:52

and bear this in mind for when you're down

19:54

there this weekend, Jack, with the boys. I've

19:58

been on seal seal. That's got

20:01

to be, yeah, that's right up there. The

20:03

King of Great. Love a king. From Kim

20:05

to Campbell. Ahoy Campbell. Ahoy Campbell. Ahoy

20:07

lads, how are you going? Yeah, good. Very

20:09

good, mate. What have you got to upset Andrew?

20:13

Look, it pains me to bring this to the table because

20:15

I think Andy and I are kindred spirits in this regard.

20:17

I'm a big fan of order and predictability. But, um, chance,

20:19

yes, it's a real shame. But

20:21

in my in-laws house in their kitchen, even

20:24

though they do have a bin

20:26

which is mounted into the inside of a cupboard

20:29

door, their preference is to

20:31

use an open plastic bag, which they situate

20:33

adjacent to the stovetop and just sit there

20:35

rubbing things against it. Yeah,

20:37

I've seen this happen before. I hate that. Hang

20:40

on, I've got to ask Campbell, is

20:42

that a one-off like when you're like

20:45

shelling prawns or something that's going to stink

20:47

out the bin and you're

20:49

using that as a tenth bin, which I often

20:51

do? No, I wish I am. It's a

20:53

permanent fixture. Well, I get it. I

20:57

mean, the joy of having the benchtop bin though,

20:59

not having to open shut with

21:02

a bin like

21:04

hands, yeah, that would get tiring. Kate?

21:07

Ahoy boys. Ahoy Kate. Ahoy to you.

21:10

Gusto to you Kate. What have you got to upset Andy? Much

21:12

gusto. So I do a lot of harvest work.

21:14

So we're constantly fueling stuff up, you know, the

21:16

tiring and it hates me. I'm a bit

21:19

like Andy, I must say. And

21:21

you know, like the typical yellow nozzle that it comes with

21:24

jerry cans, you have the easy pour, spill free. Yep, finger

21:26

in. One of the guys I work for, just fast and

21:28

loose, doesn't use it, aims for the hole

21:30

and most of it just goes all over everything. Most

21:33

of it just not make it into the motor.

21:35

I've been guilty of that. All

21:38

over you all day. Yep, I've been guilty

21:40

of that myself because you have to get your finger

21:42

in to pull that nozzle out of the jerry can.

21:44

And if you go, time to bend all the way

21:46

down there and get that, I'll probably just nail it. I'll

21:49

just nail by this and then there is

21:51

the slosh effect. See, I have a problem.

21:53

Unfortunately, I even if I if I get

21:55

a little few drips coming out of my

21:58

car, I get I

22:00

didn't know where we were going with that. I

22:02

have it behind. I still have you asked

22:04

the doctors to install a novel. I will do it. What

22:08

the hell are you thinking about it? No,

22:12

I'm disappointed myself. You're

22:16

like the framers you're thinking with the retractable rule. I'm

22:19

disappointed with myself if there's any petrol that

22:21

misses the life from out of the car.

22:23

Yeah, a fuel drip. And that's off like

22:25

60 litres. Yes, and then my dad's always

22:27

taught me to go and get the watering

22:29

can, re-place the tank

22:31

cap on and then just splash the water over it

22:34

to move to get rid of the theory there. What's

22:36

the theory there? I don't know. Now I've said

22:38

it out loud. I think it's just to wash away

22:40

the petrol from the side of the tank cap. For

22:43

safety? I guess. Probably aesthetics,

22:45

knowing you and me. But

22:48

anyway, I fully appreciate gambling on a bullseye. Great

22:51

one, Kate. That's enough for me. And

22:54

TV to be continued for you, Jack, on

22:56

the Beach House here. A

23:07

lot of people have been riding in trying

23:09

to help us with our quest to get

23:11

a show dollar coin. I want it

23:13

to be. Don't be confused to the fact that you

23:15

and I want our mugs on a dollar coin. No, no, no. So

23:18

we celebrate dollars more

23:20

than any other show in the world, I'd say,

23:23

because if you see us in the flesh, we'll

23:25

give you one. It's literally our currency as

23:27

well as Australia's. So we're asking... I

23:29

mean, it is a big ask. It

23:32

is a big ask to have the federal

23:34

mint you a coin. It

23:36

is an ask. We want as part of

23:38

Australia's currency. But we started this

23:40

journey so much so that I thought of a little

23:43

opening for it. When

23:50

you hear that, you know there's some coin updates coming. Hey, quick

23:52

one. Sorry, can I just say, Ando, let's not forget, you gave

23:54

us two years to achieve this. Yep.

24:00

There's no rush here my friend. I'm

24:03

quite amazed at the level of... Like

24:05

when we keep coming back to it, it's true. It's such a Peter

24:07

in at the moment. It's

24:10

blowing my mind. We could

24:13

have a real... We

24:15

could take a sabbatical on this thing. We

24:18

could but the moment, Ham, this is important.

24:20

We've got to... I

24:23

think if we get enough hooks in the

24:25

water, the moment when it's working

24:27

out what pond to fish in and

24:29

then we won't talk about it for a long time afterwards.

24:32

Yeah, when the admin kicks in the

24:34

boring stuff. Anyway, this one came

24:36

in from Will. He says, I work

24:38

for a company that creates branded prepaid

24:40

Visa cards and I've proposed the creation

24:42

of the People's Visa Card. I know

24:44

it's not a dollar but it's accepted

24:46

everywhere. Visa accepted. Fellow VIP podcasters can

24:48

carry a physical or digital version of

24:50

the People's Visa Card anywhere once

24:53

spent. The card instantly becomes a token of

24:55

no value. PS, all

24:57

four Wiggles are still alive and they're on a

24:59

coin. So I don't know what they're talking about.

25:01

PPS, I'm not authorized to speak and

25:03

the half of the company that I've just talked about.

25:07

We appreciate that. Look, we don't want

25:09

that. Thank you. We already

25:11

have the loyalty cards, which is

25:13

a far more value accepted everywhere,

25:15

mate. Yeah. I

25:18

dare say, now I don't have the data, but I

25:20

dare say the loyalty cards except a few more places

25:22

than Visa. I

25:25

dare say it. No,

25:27

we don't want to go down that path. We

25:29

still want to go to the Royal Australian Mint

25:31

and of course get the Treasurer

25:33

Jim Chalmers to sign off on

25:36

our design to have a commemorative coin

25:38

that acts as legal tender. We

25:41

comment, I think you had the idea Ham of trying to

25:43

get Chalmers 455 in the car park on

25:49

his way to Friday. Friday afternoon. Yeah, to

25:51

get him to sign off. Yep. I

25:53

guess she works at Parliament House in Canberra and we

25:55

just grabbed him in the car park there. I still

25:57

like that idea a lot because as we discussed. his

26:00

assistant is called Andrew Lee and

26:03

so we'll be able to say and this is

26:05

all by the way Andrew Lee is completely fine with

26:07

this we already talked to him. Yeah and by grabbing

26:09

him in the car park you don't mean kidnapping just

26:11

like tapping him on the shoulder. No no no it's

26:13

a quick hey hey. Yeah it's a good question Jack

26:15

because no it's not it's not a hit. No.

26:18

Just the way if you didn't hear last week then you

26:20

that could have sounded like we'll grab him in the car

26:22

park as he's got you work. Forearm across the throat. Yep.

26:24

Hold him. No. This is us very much dressed as Parliament

26:30

House staffers and

26:33

possibly with a golf

26:35

bag or something just acting as if we're

26:37

also leaving on a Friday afternoon looking forward

26:40

to enjoying the weekend and very much in

26:42

that tone of like a hey you know

26:44

last who doesn't love ticking something off

26:46

on a Friday. Yes. Going into the weekend with it

26:48

with an empty plate. You've probably been to Canberra more

26:50

than Jack and I have. I was

26:52

there a couple weeks ago. Do you have another trip

26:55

planned? Like I just thought if you know I'll come meet

26:57

you there if we want to try and get you done.

26:59

Yeah right. Well no. No I mean we were there to

27:01

pick up the kittens was the halfway point between our house

27:03

and the breeders. Okay. We sort

27:05

of did a cat deal in

27:08

the car park of a hotel.

27:10

Okay this one comes in from

27:12

Atia. She says I've

27:14

worked around the government for

27:17

a few years. The best

27:19

time to harass a member

27:21

of Parliament is just prior

27:23

to their seat being up for election. Yes.

27:26

They will do anything. Absolutely.

27:29

And case in point Kevin Rudd taking his

27:31

shoes off for no reason the day before the

27:33

election. Because he noticed he would barefoot. Day before

27:35

the federal election he looked at you and went

27:38

oh that's not something you see every

27:40

day. A barefoot man in the studio and he

27:42

took his shoes off and nodded to his press

27:44

photographer. Get this. He left you

27:46

socks on those. It was a big one. He

27:48

just wasn't. He's doing it. Trapped between yes

27:51

I'm doing some stuff and also God I'm

27:53

tired. Please. Like

27:55

whatever you know it's gonna happen tomorrow. Let's see how

27:57

we go. She says this will be on

27:59

or before. September 25th next year since

28:01

you're playing a long game. It's still

28:03

within the window. Yes, with

28:07

this one I'd start the process get Jim's

28:09

approval around then is the best time. Okay,

28:12

that's fine. Jock Lucas has

28:14

written in he wants to

28:17

get at it a bit quicker than that year.

28:19

He says, gentlemen, in relation to

28:21

getting your faces on an actual coin, not

28:23

what you want is that just one two

28:25

people bowing one representing a deep bow Hamish

28:27

one representing a bow that's great, but not

28:29

as deep Andy and a weasel Jack. And

28:32

he says, on an

28:34

actual coin, I often attend the same

28:36

park run as our

28:38

treasurer, Mr. Chalmers. Now we're talking.

28:41

He's quick. What's his 5k time? Park

28:47

one is a 5k. You

28:49

know, it's a state they held every week. I

28:51

think it's every Saturday morning all over Australia. It's

28:53

like a group 5k. I just

28:55

thought he might be able to give us a

28:57

pace there that we need to move at or

28:59

have a relay system where I would run the

29:01

first half. And you come out of the bushes

29:03

from the second half and Jackie, you bring it

29:06

out if we don't think we can do 5k.

29:10

That's a good call. He writes

29:12

he's quick, not quick enough. He's

29:15

only quite keen to chat as well. And

29:18

I've spoken to him a few times wouldn't it

29:20

be wouldn't it be brilliant if he is just

29:22

was just jogging along like again, say and we

29:25

either go into skies or we just I hope

29:27

he doesn't us jogging

29:29

along and and I

29:31

think the opening line would be Jim, mate,

29:36

how's that dollar for 100 years of

29:38

scouts? Oh my God. You would have

29:40

crossed that, were you? Or just name one of

29:42

the other yeah, many of coins that like, mate,

29:44

you want to cross the Wiggles coin way. Yeah,

29:46

I thought that to be dead to be on

29:48

the coin or just something like that. And him

29:50

go, Oh, yeah, you know, I'm looking to reinvigorate

29:52

the market with a with a good new one.

29:57

The best entry would be the dream. He's

30:00

also said next time I'll see him. I'll see if

30:02

I can catch him out of breath. We'll

30:05

keep that. I don't know why that helps I

30:07

think I would I'd be guessing here, but it

30:09

might be a situation where Jim channels might have

30:11

asthma If if

30:14

we could get his ventiline we could

30:16

get him to agree in principle before

30:18

giving Now I

30:20

know that is drying into an area. We don't

30:23

We're not not morally comfortable with it.

30:26

But it's it's very gray. That's a gray area

30:28

Yeah, that's not us. We're not doing anything to him.

30:30

We're just quietly withholding his

30:32

prevent his reliever But I think

30:35

that would be the dream scenario wouldn't it? He I mean

30:37

again If you read

30:39

the book the secret you have to say it out loud

30:41

for it. It can happen That's how I understand the magic

30:43

to work. We go for a jog with Jim Bring

30:46

up the coin stuff, you know, what was I

30:48

thinking doing the veggie might one? Come on, you

30:50

know We all love veggie might but surely

30:52

there's something a bit more Technology

30:55

focus we could do you know, that's great

30:57

him would we? If

30:59

we do go on the park run and

31:01

we favor that over catching you at the end of

31:04

the day Do

31:06

you think we should side-lover

31:08

side alongside him separately? Yes

31:10

and All like so

31:13

he's like, oh gee a lot of people

31:15

want this coin. Yeah to talk about our

31:17

coin Yeah, so to him it seems like

31:19

wow the bumping is three different people today

31:21

talking about that coin six

31:23

if we bring wigs You

31:26

reckon We just

31:29

do a rotating a rotating

31:31

three-man wave Yeah, so one

31:33

that's like a peloton a bike exactly

31:36

But he's always at the front. Yeah, we write up

31:39

we just jog up in our new eggs and keep

31:41

the chat up Yeah, okay And then I think we

31:43

should have a moment where two of

31:45

us run up alongside him and we have

31:47

a private conversation This is a brand new

31:49

good brand new long blonde wigs on about

31:51

hey, do you hear they're doing the hey

31:54

mission Andy coin? And we drop

31:56

back then another man goes up solo What's

32:00

all this we're hearing about the AV's? I'm hearing

32:02

only... What's

32:05

the matter Jim? Need your Vandalin? No

32:08

again, that's not the scenario we want. We want him

32:10

to breathe easily and say yes with full breath. Did

32:20

you go see Dune 2? Didn't say

32:22

Dune 1. Haven't seen either. Yeah, me neither. I

32:27

hate Vision Anti-Podcast for all

32:29

you. Up to the minute. Oscars,

32:31

season, movie facts. I did

32:33

see a bit of Dune 1 and I didn't

32:36

dislike it. I think it must have

32:38

been a plane or something because I did fade out. That

32:41

wasn't terrible but it just wasn't, you know. People

32:43

were nominated for Best Picture. No, people were loving it. Yeah,

32:45

I think Dune 2 is. People love it, yeah. I

32:48

mean, I'm Dune from way back.

32:51

My brother had the video game of

32:53

Dune in like 1995 and I would sit

32:55

and watch him harvest. Is it a video

32:57

game adaptation? It's a book. It was like

32:59

a fantasy book and there was a video

33:01

game where you'd have to harvest spice and

33:03

you know build your base and attack

33:06

the other spice harvesters. And

33:08

it was great stuff and I was happy with it. Even if

33:10

that had been the most we ever saw of the Dune universe,

33:12

I would have been happy with that. Content. Watching

33:15

Locke do well. The point

33:17

is, Dune 2, the reason I wanted to bring up Dune 2 is

33:20

that's been a great example of a

33:22

sequel doing well, right? There's

33:25

a sequel in

33:27

the works or that's floating around that

33:29

I've become aware of that I would

33:31

like to endorse. You're going to endorse it.

33:34

I'm going to endorse it. I

33:36

was given the book, this book is a

33:38

joke by our good friend Ryan Shelton, right,

33:40

for my birthday last year because Ryan, I

33:42

loved this movie when we were in like

33:44

year 11 at high school. So

33:47

we're talking kind of mid to late 90s here. He

33:50

gives me the novel of

33:52

Heat 2. For

33:54

those that don't remember Heat...

34:00

Um, Pacino and De Niro together for the first

34:02

time. That was, that was the, it was a

34:04

heist movie, it was a bank heist movie. Like

34:06

I'm going to pay. You loved it so much.

34:09

Loved it. I

34:12

haven't seen Heat either. I haven't seen it either. He

34:16

used to talk about it at university all the

34:18

time. Look, we had

34:21

other stuff to discuss, mostly all the

34:23

babes that I was trying to dodge.

34:26

Like, oh, you're the Heat guy. Yeah. Yeah,

34:29

that's me guys. Look, it,

34:31

it was a great heist movie. Great heist

34:34

movie. Val Kilmer, um, and, and

34:36

De Niro and a couple of others. They have

34:38

the bank robbers, Pacino, he's the cop trying to

34:40

stop them, take down the score. From

34:43

memory, it's not really a spoiler. Isn't like the

34:45

final scene, like everyone kills everybody. And it's just

34:47

like, that's why I laughed when Ry gave me

34:49

Heat too. Cause I was like, what's this about?

34:51

Like De Niro, he gets killed.

34:53

And like, the bank robbers, they get shot

34:55

to pieces. Yeah. Have you, have you read

34:57

the book? Well, I was like, this is funny to

35:00

own, but it's like 400 pages. You

35:03

know, of all, I've got a lot of books sitting on the

35:05

books on the, on the shelf, like waiting to be read. And

35:11

I picked up Heat as a joke to read

35:13

a few pages, just mostly so I could take

35:15

a soda and send it to Ryan, just to

35:17

be like, you know, sitting in the

35:19

armchair. Look at this just quiet night

35:21

reading Heat too. I

35:23

got quite into it. And

35:27

I now sit before you as a

35:30

member of the Hamish and Andy book club. One

35:32

of the only books I've completed this year

35:34

is Heat 2. I

35:37

got those, I've been in two weeks. I

35:39

read about 400 pages of Heat 2. Um,

35:43

because not the greatest book I've ever read, but I've got to

35:45

be one of the only people that has read Heat 2. At

35:47

least I thought that. And then I was actually at

35:49

one of like Rudy's friend's houses and her dad's got

35:52

Heat 2. I

35:54

was like, I just, I just, I just, I just got

35:57

to be the only two guys I know that have got

35:59

the Heat 2. And he's like

36:01

he goes mate. I got a love tape and we're

36:03

at the same age I was like, I'm not who

36:05

didn't love heat like what a what a heist movie

36:07

and then they're not saying I made Tim But Lee I

36:09

go. Hey, Ry gave me this I forgot to say like

36:11

Ry gave me this funny book for my birthday He goes

36:14

and Tim goes he gave it to me if you read

36:16

it when I actually finished it He went yeah me too.

36:18

So he's read it as well. There is a

36:20

movement out there of undercarriage Yeah,

36:23

men age 35 to 45

36:25

who are reading and or have read heat

36:27

too I've never read

36:29

a Sequel

36:31

to a movie in book form

36:37

The original have a book I don't think

36:39

it what didn't feel like it did it like it would have

36:41

had a script He

36:45

certainly got the feeling when you watch the movie that

36:47

it was there was a there was a plan to

36:50

the movie No, I think at home I'm like you

36:52

I've got enough books lining up that heat to probably

36:54

won't push its way It was a jump because the

36:56

book I was coming from was recommended by my wife

36:58

who reads like very kind of like dense

37:00

like well-written fiction and so I'm reading

37:03

this like very like Pulitzer Prize winning

37:05

stuff and then bang I think

37:07

of the world of Hannah

37:09

detective Hannah and Neil McCauley and heat

37:12

to baby the CD underworld of LA

37:14

Vegas and Chicago The

37:26

39:39

mean when they when they get the chance

39:41

to play a song again and everyone listens

39:43

to it and sings along yes grown professional

39:45

sports trivia that's not an american thing is

39:47

it not did i have school songs in

39:50

america like a lot of schools have a

39:52

school some of the earth and has come

39:54

from that tradition of having a school song

39:56

like my the that's like an english thing

39:58

and they'll join partners school the other day

40:00

and started singing her song, school song to

40:02

baby. You love your school. She

40:05

didn't love it. Yeah. I said, wait for this. Wait

40:07

for this. It's a bit in the song that

40:09

I thought was pretty cool. No,

40:12

wait for the draw. Wait

40:14

for the organ. This wasn't even a driving pass

40:16

like you drove to the school. How

40:19

come Googleverse said it was a seven minute drive or

40:21

been to go for 40 minutes? Anyway,

40:26

she said she said to me, do you reckon any

40:28

school had a banger? Yeah, my kids, my kids school

40:30

has a pretty good one because they're a new school.

40:32

Again, like GWS, they've only been around for 20 years.

40:35

Right. And it has kind of

40:37

broadway overtones. OK. It's

40:39

upbeat for sure. Hamish but

40:59

I will say it contains a scripted. Yeah,

41:01

yeah, yeah. Like it has a

41:03

really don't get in a lot

41:06

of school. Like they're usually like

41:08

very slow and quite dreary. Yes.

41:10

So to have a scripted. Yeah, yeah,

41:12

yeah. In there that gives you an

41:14

idea of like how upbeat we're talking. OK,

41:17

great. That's something to look forward to. But let's

41:19

go back to task at hand. Big,

41:21

big sound from

41:23

the GWS Giants AFL

41:25

team. You

41:31

know, that's the feel of it. That's the intro. It's

41:33

an umpah feel. I take you to

41:35

Kasia, the song called Take It

41:37

Off. I'm

41:43

not. I mean, I understand that there's some

41:46

that we're following some similar notes, but

41:49

without the umpah feel, that's

41:52

what I thought when I first heard the two

41:54

intros. But then I thought, no, let's push past

41:56

that and get to the actual verse. Here's the

41:58

verse for the GWS Giants. And

42:03

double use of town

42:09

too. How

42:15

are you feeling about that now? I

42:17

reckon there might be a common ancestor. Like

42:20

an Australopithecus

42:22

or something that predated

42:25

humans, Homo sapiens. And

42:27

they're both borrowed from you. Just because it's such

42:29

a... you hear the G.W.O. song and you're like,

42:32

there's every chance that you could be going through

42:34

the old Soviet Union and this was number one

42:36

in 1955. Every

42:40

chance. And it's just been rejigged. We

42:42

sent it to the lab. This is the

42:44

two mashed together. In

42:58

their fourth big mother's eye.

43:03

Now... It's not an immediate acquittal, is it?

43:05

No. I think we don't want to see

43:08

an Australian icon lose to Kesha.

43:10

Well, Kesha was 2010. G.W.S. theme song 2012. Are

43:17

the rumours true that they were working on it for

43:19

four years? No. When

43:22

you say there's maybe a common

43:25

ancestor... We

43:27

found it, yes. I knew it. The Cro-Magnon Man. We found

43:29

this from 1893. Really?

43:32

See? I just got that feel. It's

43:34

called Streets of Cairo by

43:37

Jaden Thornton. Tell

43:39

me whether you think this is where they

43:41

both got the idea from. It could be the common ancestor. I

43:45

think it's him. Is

43:50

this a real song? Yes.

43:57

Real socks. I'm peeing at the back. I'm

44:00

like, this feels like baseball, to be honest. So

44:05

I think they are both guilty and

44:08

ancestors or whoever owns the rights

44:11

to James Thornton's music. Perhaps it's no

44:14

copyright. It would have lapsed. That's

44:16

how they've got it. It's lapsed. That's exactly what they've done.

44:18

They've just gone back to 1800s hot tunes. Which

44:23

makes you feel good because the actual writer of

44:25

the GWS theme song was Harry from the Cat

44:27

Empire. Can we also just take a second to

44:29

tip that to the boy that can feel music?

44:32

I mean, that is... That's quite remarkable, isn't it?

44:36

I mean, that's bloody good podcasting, to

44:38

be fair. If we'd have scripted that for

44:40

me to be like, oh, what about this? And then you have

44:42

a song from the 1800s. I mean, like,

44:44

well put together podcasts, they dream of that.

44:46

They would script that perfectly. And

44:49

here I am just chucking it up for free. What they

44:51

don't do is reflect on how good their break was. We

44:56

didn't mean it.
