Hello, hello, hello.
0:02
Hello, hello, hello.
0:08
There's a new creation, a new Unmade
0:10
Podcast item, piece of merchandise
0:14
that I'm really very, very excited about.
0:17
You are quite the artisan
0:19
when it comes to the Unmade Podcast
0:22
merchandise. I'm more of an overseer. I
0:24
don't actually do the art. I kind of, I'm more,
0:26
I have the vision and then
0:29
I let the artisans do the art. Well, that's what
0:31
Michelangelo said, too, because he had like
0:34
underlings helping and so forth. You're being humble.
0:36
You really are an artist. You have vision. You do
0:38
have vision. In fact, one of my humility
0:40
is one of my great strengths. It is. It is.
0:43
I've been always impressed with your humility. I
0:46
know you've always been impressed with your own humility as
0:48
well.
0:49
Yeah, I've always, I
0:51
have many strengths. Humility is just one of them.
0:54
Artistic vision is one. Humility
0:57
is another. I'll tell you what one of my strengths is not,
0:59
though, and that is working with leather. But
1:01
luckily, I've met someone who is quite good at working
1:03
with leather. There's
1:06
a leather guy who is near
1:08
me and he's opened up a workshop. And
1:11
I have had him craft for us
1:13
Unmade Podcast leather
1:15
keyrings.
1:17
Wow. I thought you were going to say leather
1:20
pants, but I'm glad
1:22
you've gone with keyrings. We
1:24
haven't got the pants yet, but I rule nothing
1:27
out. I reserve the right. But
1:29
let me show you on the screen.
1:31
Yeah. Oh, that is beautiful.
1:34
That is lovely. Look at that.
1:36
That's class. So let me tell you, this has been made
1:39
by Steve at Nelson and
1:41
Forge. Oh, yes. I've got a video
1:43
of it being made so people
1:45
can go and watch. Let me play some of the sounds
1:47
now. This is just some of the sounds of the keyring
1:50
being made for people to listen to.
2:05
I know what you're thinking, Tim. I can already read
2:07
your mind. I know what your first question is going to be. Uh,
2:11
what? Humor me.
2:19
Um, are these going to be for sale or
2:21
as gifts?
2:22
Oh man, you're so crass.
2:25
Oh, sorry. Sorry. Sorry. It's not about money.
2:27
It's not about gifts. No. It's about the
2:29
art. What was
2:31
my first question going to be? Um,
2:34
do they match your boots? Um,
2:38
did you get a whip? What about
2:40
a knapsack? All I want is a knapsack. Tell
2:43
me about the tannery where this, these leather
2:45
was made. Oh, that goes without saying. Tell
2:47
me about the tannery. This leather comes
2:50
from Britain's only Oakbark
2:52
tannery. It's in the County of Devon. It's
2:54
been run by the same family for 150 years. Wow.
2:58
I assume multiple people. I assume that there hasn't
3:00
been one person for those whole 150 years. He'd
3:04
have skin like leather. And
3:08
it's been the site of a tannery since Roman
3:10
times. Wow. So
3:13
that's fantastic. What,
3:14
what, what does it cost? Just
3:22
how do I get one? Come on. We
3:25
will come to that. So the leather, where, what are
3:27
the, what is the leather from? Do you know? Like
3:30
it's a cow. It's a cow. Yes. It was a 14
3:32
month coloring process using
3:35
this Oakbark coloring process,
3:37
which helps preserve the fiber of the
3:39
leather. Apparently it's a very special coloring process.
3:42
And here's the best bit. Yeah. That color.
3:45
How would you describe that shade of color
3:47
to the civilians? It's, it's, well, it's a dark
3:50
brown, but I could get a bit more creative
3:52
and, and talk about it. Yeah. Like a wood.
3:54
Go on. It's sort of a leather cover. Isn't
3:57
it really? It's a leather.
3:59
leather. Yes,
4:02
like a comfort craftsman R.M.
4:05
Williams boot. But
4:07
yeah. Yeah. This shade of colour,
4:09
which is used in the horse bridal
4:11
industry, its official name is
4:14
Australian Nut. Look
4:16
at that. Beautiful. That does look lovely
4:19
Australian, doesn't it? It's got a lovely familiar
4:22
sort of feel. So people can have their very
4:24
own Australian Nut unmade
4:27
podcast, handcrafted
4:29
leather keyring. As worn
4:31
by
4:32
light horsemen in World War One. As
4:37
used to unlock Brady's door. Yeah,
4:41
and you're Australian. Wow. Yes.
4:44
There's something real and authentic about leather.
4:46
Like, do you hold it and just like smell
4:48
it? It also smells lovely. It
4:52
smells like a mixture of new boots.
4:56
Or when you open your cricket bag
4:58
and it's full of all new equipment
5:01
and you haven't got it all sweaty yet. So it still smells
5:03
leathery and not like opening a sweaty
5:05
sauna box. Yes, yes. It's
5:08
a lovely smell. It smells like new R.M. Williams
5:10
boots. Yeah, yeah. Or a nice new belt.
5:13
Oh, lovely. Yeah.
5:16
Makes you proud to be Australian, doesn't it? That's
5:18
great. It does. It makes me proud
5:20
to be an Australian nut. So
5:25
obviously I will send a couple
5:27
of these to you
5:28
for your personal leather collection,
5:30
because I know you like a bit of leather. But
5:33
you did ask the question, how does one obtain
5:35
one of these? The plan so far
5:38
is that they are going to be exclusively
5:40
given to Patreon supporters.
5:43
Wow. Good stuff. Go to patreon.com
5:45
slash unmadefm. Become a Patreon supporter. The
5:48
first 10 we're giving away will
5:50
be announced later in the episode. So
5:53
hang around. So these people will get them at the
5:56
same time as me. Yeah. And I'll still
5:58
have that really fresh leather.
7:48
love
8:00
of God. And it's the for love for the
8:02
love of God. This is like uber modern art.
8:05
And he's got like a skull that
8:07
was covered in something like a thousand
8:09
diamonds. So it's worth a ridiculous amount of
8:11
money. Yeah. But I kind of and he called
8:13
it for the love of God, which I, I don't know, because
8:15
I kind of like the irony of it being modern art
8:17
and for the love of God. That's kind of
8:20
a good statement as a minister. So I've been, I've been, yeah,
8:22
I've had that as my key ring for probably 10
8:24
years. Time to trade that bad
8:26
boy in, Tim. Oh, I've got to upgrade
8:29
a leather. Real modern art. That is some
8:32
unmade. But imagine if
8:34
we moved into into saddles
8:37
and so forth. Handmade in a
8:40
leather shop. What's the name for a leathery, a leathery
8:42
place? Did you say a tanner? Or is it
8:44
the tanner? Well, the tanner is where they make the leather,
8:46
but the person actually then cuts the leather and makes
8:49
it into the, you know, Steve. I don't know what he's, he's
8:51
not a leather smith. Like, and they're not a cobbler.
8:53
That's when it's specifically
8:54
boots and I think. I
8:56
think that's shoes. Yeah. He's a key
8:59
ring monger. That's true.
9:02
Does he, what, what else does
9:04
he make boots or does he make all sorts of stuff? He does
9:06
do shoes. He does like a shoe making course. I
9:08
went and made some leather trainers at his, on
9:11
a course with him. So you can do
9:13
shoes. I made my own handmade shoes. I
9:15
think of all the, you know, when you think about people who have
9:17
jobs and people have all sorts
9:19
of different jobs. Unlike us. Let's
9:23
say they're
9:26
making YouTube clips and podcasts and
9:28
like being a minister of the church and stuff, but they
9:30
have like a real job of all the real
9:33
artists, you know, real crafty jobs.
9:35
I reckon like a cobbler is, it's
9:37
probably, it's just one of those real primal
9:40
ones where I'm almost
9:41
envy of how crafty
9:44
and real and authentic it sort of is. You must
9:46
just walk away from being a blacksmith.
9:49
Oh, well, that's a,
9:51
that is quite exciting. I mean, make, make an horse
9:53
shoes. That's real work. Yeah. Yeah.
9:56
That's what I was going to do, but I didn't get into it at uni.
9:58
So I had to settle for being a minister.
9:59
Imagine
10:03
that just wanting to make horse shoes really badly.
10:05
That's right. That was my
10:07
thing. Yeah. There's nothing more fun
10:09
than watching people shoe a horse. Just
10:12
general horse husbandry is always enjoyable
10:15
to watch.
10:20
Parrish
10:20
notices. Kent
10:22
F wrote an email. Tim, have you
10:25
have you jumped on the AI bandwagon yet? Are
10:27
you all into the AI? No, I'm
10:29
resisting. I'm like. Oh, you struck
10:31
me as someone that would be well into it. Oh,
10:34
no. No. No. Not
10:36
at all. And
10:38
every every second presentation I go to these
10:41
days where they say, well, because I'm in the academic
10:43
circles.
10:44
Well, I want to talk about AI. So
10:47
I went on to chat TP3 and
10:49
I wrote or CP3 and I wrote in presentation
10:52
on AI for this conference. And this is what
10:54
you know what I mean? Like they do the whole double meta
10:56
thing and it's just like, yeah, OK. Yeah. Yeah.
10:59
Right. I think I don't want to insult
11:01
you, Tim, because I think you're a good preacher, but
11:05
I think general preaching
11:07
and ministering is something that very easily
11:10
could be done by AI because I've sat through a lot
11:12
of sermons in my time. Yes. And they're
11:14
so the same. Yes. So samey.
11:17
They're they're made for these
11:20
chat AI things that can just like write
11:22
things that sound generic and sound
11:25
real. Like I think writing sermons
11:27
would be the easiest thing in the world for an
11:30
AI. Yes, absolutely. It would. Yeah.
11:32
Short 30 minute presentation on
11:35
something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And
11:37
they may be an improvement for many of us, to
11:39
be honest. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. Anyway,
11:44
Kent F. wrote Brady
11:46
and Tim,
11:47
I think you will find this interesting and or
11:49
comical. Do with it what you will. I
11:51
prompted chat GPT
11:53
with tell a story of Brady
11:56
and Tim getting KFC. Here
11:58
is the result. I'm not going. read the whole thing
12:01
because frankly i find them really boring
12:03
to read these things
12:05
they managed to have a lot of well crafted words
12:07
and sentences without actually saying anything
12:10
which is kind of like which is also i think they'd be
12:12
brilliant at sermons. But
12:15
but he's he's some of what
12:19
the chat gpt wrote
12:21
about you and i getting kfc.
12:28
Brady and Tim approached the counter I
12:31
scanning the menu board adorned with tempting
12:33
array of chicken options the decision
12:35
was not easy for every option
12:38
seemed
12:38
equally enticing after
12:40
a brief moment of deliberation they made
12:43
their choices a bucket of original
12:45
recipe chicken crispy fries and
12:48
creamy coleslaw. As
12:50
they waited for their order brady and tim
12:52
exchange stories and laughed reminiscing
12:55
about their shared adventures the
12:57
anticipation grew with each passing moment
12:59
and finally their feast was ready.
13:02
With their mouths watering they
13:04
found a cozy booth and settled in
13:07
the moment had come
13:08
they opened the bucket revealing
13:11
a treasure trove of golden brown
13:13
chicken pieces perfectly seasoned
13:15
and crispy. Their taste buds
13:18
danced with delight as they savored
13:20
each bite relishing the harmony
13:23
of flavors and the satisfying
13:25
crunch. Between mouthfuls
13:27
of succulent chicken brady and
13:29
tim shared their dreams discussing
13:32
future projects and brainstorming
13:34
new ideas the meal became
13:37
a catalyst for inspiration
13:38
fueling their creative spirits
13:41
and strengthening their bond as
13:43
friends and collaborators. It's
13:47
just like a danielle steel romantic novel
13:49
or something. I
13:52
don't think chat gpt understands
13:54
how focused we would have just been on the chicken.
13:59
Are you gonna eat that one? Want
14:02
to hear from you or anything else? There would be no
14:04
reminiscing. There would be no brainstorming.
14:07
There would be that gravy's mind. Do
14:10
you know what I think that is? That
14:13
version is the version that our
14:15
wives hear when they hear us tell anecdotes.
14:17
It's like, yeah, it's just
14:20
like snore. Here we go. It's
14:22
the boring. Yeah. Yeah, great. It's like
14:25
this story. Yeah. The
14:27
real story would be Brady ate a
14:29
drumstick.
14:30
Tim ate one as well. Then they had the
14:32
chips. Shall we get more? Yeah,
14:35
go on. Absolutely. Continue
14:38
to eat. Focused. Yeah, it
14:40
is about the chicken. What about you? You're not into
14:42
the AI or you are, but. No,
14:44
I haven't really been following. I should. I
14:47
know I should. And there
14:48
are lots of tools in AI that
14:51
would make my work easier, maybe with video editing
14:53
and picture editing and audio, but I just
14:55
haven't. I haven't got time to learn new stuff,
14:57
really. Like I'm too busy doing my
14:59
current stuff. I feel
15:01
like here's something that's going to change
15:03
everything and not for the better.
15:06
Like this will be a thing where it's like, oh yeah,
15:08
this is not, this is not, I don't like
15:10
this.
15:11
Like Twitter. I
15:16
don't mind Twitter. I hate Facebook. It's going
15:19
to be like, oh, this is going to be a thing,
15:21
isn't it? But yeah, it's
15:23
a bit like I haven't got, maybe we were just getting too old
15:25
for things now. Yeah. You
15:27
can't teach old dogs new tricks. No. We're just
15:30
a couple of Australian nuts. We are a
15:32
couple of old dogs. Old leathery
15:35
Australian nut key rings, we are. Do
15:38
you remember in
15:41
the previous proper episode, Yaniv
15:43
from Israel showed us his magic
15:46
spot on his chin that if he rubbed his
15:48
chin in a certain spot, just touched his chin,
15:50
he would just
15:51
spontaneously get hiccups? Yes,
15:54
I do. Was it the hiccups or yawn? Was
15:56
it, it was the hiccups. It was hiccups. Okay.
15:58
It was hiccups. It would trigger a hiccups.
15:59
a hiccup fit, yeah. So, we've
16:03
heard from many people that want to tell us
16:05
about parts of their body you can touch to
16:07
trigger reactions. Wow. As
16:09
is Borah Shedd
16:11
said, I have the same hiccup spot
16:13
on my chin. I thought I was the only
16:15
one when I recently learned that my brother
16:18
and one of my friends both have a
16:20
hiccup chin spot. Gosh. I
16:22
really, really hate getting hiccups. I'm always
16:24
careful when I dry my beard not
16:27
to trigger it. Wow. This
16:28
sounds like it's a real thing. There's a spot
16:30
on your chin that gives you hiccups. This is amazing.
16:33
That's phenomenal. That's bizarre. The H
16:35
spot we called it, remember? Do they? That's funny.
16:37
To actually to not go looking for
16:39
it, but actually to be careful because it can set
16:41
it off. I don't. I
16:44
haven't got it. I don't think I've got it. Tim and I are
16:46
both prodding our beards at the moment without
16:48
success. No.
16:51
I feel like we need to verify this somehow. Well,
16:54
I, as far as I'm concerned, it's verified.
16:56
We've had so many people talking about it. We also
16:58
heard from BeingTheHunt on Reddit.
17:01
In response to your call out for other people
17:03
who have a magical part of their body that can be
17:06
pressed to cause a physical reaction, I
17:08
can stroke the skin of my arm
17:10
or torso and I will get goosebumps
17:13
only on that side of my body with
17:16
a perfect line down the centre of my
17:18
chest and stomach between where I have
17:20
goosebumps and where I don't. And he
17:22
or she has read online about other people that get this. So
17:25
you touch your arm or your torso and you get goosebumps
17:27
just down half your body with a perfect line
17:30
down the middle separating line
17:31
like a goosebump equator. Wow.
17:34
Goosebump International Date Line
17:36
because it's vertical. And is it Greenwich
17:38
Meridian of goosebumps? Is it true? Is
17:40
it true then that I always remember as a kid, the
17:43
left side of your brain takes care of the right
17:45
side of your body and then the right side.
17:47
Is that true? Because I know there's other parts, other
17:49
things are left brain and right. There is truth to that. Yeah. So
17:52
there could there is a dividing line down the middle
17:54
of us.
17:55
Yeah. Perhaps that's the welding
17:57
bit when we were put together. That's the seal bit. And
18:00
he's got there is a bit of there is a bit of that
18:02
there is a bit of that BHJ
18:05
said, said on the theme
18:07
of magical parts of our bodies that can be pressed
18:09
for some kind of physical reaction I
18:12
have a particular area on the back of my
18:14
head
18:15
just where it meets the neck and very
18:17
slightly to the left. Where
18:19
if I pull the hair I will
18:21
sneeze and regarding
18:23
pranks yes most of my close friends
18:26
and my long term partner find it hilarious
18:28
and have in the past pulled it to make me sneeze.
18:31
Luckily I'm balding and so
18:33
I keep my hair so short now it's hard
18:35
to do but I still am able
18:38
to do it myself by rubbing and pulling at the
18:40
short hairs in the area so just
18:42
on the back of your neck. We
18:45
have we heads meeting your neck to the left there
18:48
give that a yank and you get sneeze I'm
18:50
not getting that. No I wonder
18:53
if it's an anatomical thing
18:55
or if it's somehow a psychological thing you
18:57
know where the brain remembers a moment from I
18:59
don't
18:59
know from an early on when they had
19:02
to sneeze when this happened and I don't
19:04
know. Good question I like
19:06
this I like this idea of all these magic buttons
19:08
on our body like you know yeah. It's
19:11
no purpose whatsoever it's funny everyone seems
19:13
to be quite annoyed they go to lengths to avoid
19:15
it happening. It's not like a magic
19:18
power where you like you know when I when
19:20
I push my elbow I can fly. You haven't got me
19:22
there are no buttons on your body. No there's not
19:25
no I'm
19:26
trying to think I of course would know but. Are
19:29
you ticklish. Yes I am on
19:31
my on the tops of my knees or
19:33
on my leg just there so if we're driving along
19:35
and she reaches over and you know. My
19:38
wife touches the top of my leg that all
19:40
that's yeah I can't handle that I'll
19:43
veer off the road before.
19:46
Yeah I've got this point
19:48
on the top of my knee that if you touch it I crash
19:51
a car. That's right that's exactly right
19:53
yeah
19:54
no I'm not good with that I'm tickling on my feet
19:56
as well yeah I can really no one's tickled
19:59
my feet for. Nyeom 30 years,
20:01
but, you know, I can remember. Oh man, I'm
20:04
sorry. I promise when I come to
20:06
Australia later this year, I'll tickle your feet. Thanks
20:08
man, that's great.
20:11
It's all we do down here. We don't have much entertainment
20:14
here in Australia. We just tickle our feet,
20:16
you know. Once every 30
20:18
years, someone tickles my feet. That's
20:21
all right. That's all the excitement we need. What
20:23
about you? Are you ticklish? I was
20:26
ticklish. You seem to get less ticklish as
20:28
you get older. It probably is just because people
20:30
stop tickling you. Yeah,
20:33
you're just going, are you just numb all over
20:35
now? Is that right? You're just, parts
20:37
of you are shutting down. I'm just numbed
20:39
by life and lack of sleep.
20:41
That leathery skin
20:44
now, we're just mainly leather halfway
20:46
to the tanner ourselves, really, and if you prod
20:48
us, it just, you know. I think I am
20:50
ticklish though. My thing
20:53
I don't like is I don't like being touched on
20:55
places that I feel are vulnerable
20:57
for like death reasons.
21:00
Like, but not like, not like
21:02
I'm going to get killed, but like that feel like vulnerable
21:04
parts of my body because of like veins and
21:07
like, I don't like being touched on my wrists, where
21:09
the veins and that are, or my neck, or
21:12
like right on the middle of my chest where my
21:14
heart is. I don't like being touched
21:17
on those places that would be vulnerable
21:19
to like, you know, stabbing or attack.
21:21
Not that
21:22
I just don't like being touched there at all.
21:23
Like I hate having my pulse taken. I
21:26
hate having my pulse taken. I can't
21:28
handle it. Wow. Yeah.
21:30
I quite like it. I like someone holding my hand
21:32
and yeah, right. Let's unpack that
21:34
for the next hour or so. That's interesting. Have
21:41
you had any operations? Have you had an operation
21:43
where you've been,
21:44
well, cut open? No. No, I've
21:46
never been cut open. That's interesting. Have you?
21:49
Yes. Yeah. My testes
21:52
didn't come down. Yeah,
22:09
it was a tough period for you in your 30s. I'm
22:12
totally leaving that. How old were you? I
22:15
was a little kid. So
22:18
you can't remember? I can remember being in hospital. Oh,
22:20
so you were old enough. It wasn't like you were newborn. You
22:22
like, you know, you'd got... What?
22:25
They just had to yank them down, did they?
22:29
Yeah.
22:31
Well,
22:37
that's a delicate one. Well, yeah,
22:39
that's right. It is. Yeah. But
22:41
it's, I also had another operation on my hand.
22:44
Do you remember, do you remember I got an infection? I remember you coming
22:46
to visit me. This is in 1996. I
22:49
got like a burn in my finger,
22:51
my left pointy finger and
22:53
index finger, and then it got infected.
22:58
I think because I went and I was doing night fill
23:00
at the supermarket, which is just like
23:01
places just covered in germs and
23:03
stuff. Yeah. But
23:06
it sort of blew up infected and I had
23:08
a terrible night, couldn't sleep. It was
23:10
so hot and painful. It was blown
23:12
up like a balloon. And then I went
23:14
to the doctor the next day and he sent me to emergency
23:17
and the emergency doctor looked at it and said, we're
23:19
operating today to try and save your hand. And
23:22
I was like, wow. Oh, God. So
23:24
I went straight. He said, when did you last eat
23:26
like it was that quick? And to
23:29
get me in to operate. And then
23:31
I woke
23:31
up, you know, however many hours later and
23:33
there's this massive, all those bandages
23:35
everywhere. But over the next couple of days, as they changed the
23:38
bandages, I could see there was this massive opening
23:40
scar all the way down my hand. It's
23:42
a bit like the Harry Potter scar, except it's down
23:44
the inside of my palm, my index finger
23:47
rather than on my forehead. Do you have like a
23:49
lightning scar on your testes? Do
23:55
you think you'll get a lot of clicks on this episode if we call
23:57
it Tim's testes? I
24:10
tell you what, now
24:12
we know what we call the Australian nut. Well,
24:19
that's a conversation to go. Anyway, I've
24:21
still got the scar on my hand, which I kind of like that scar
24:23
on my hand. Yeah, that's cool. That's a cool. Do you ever tell
24:25
people it's like a shark attack or something? No,
24:28
I once told a kid that I'd caught a bullet,
24:30
that someone had shot a bullet and I'd caught it in my
24:33
hand and that had caused the scar. Awesome. The
24:35
kid was so impressed with
24:38
that. You
24:40
look impressed. Like the look on
24:42
your face, you look like really proud that you call it a problem. You know
24:44
when you get away with a story, it's almost like it kind
24:47
of did happen, you
24:48
know, like it's almost like it kind of
24:50
did happen. I can
24:52
visualize it in the lie. Did
24:56
you sometimes tell people you caught a bullet with your testes?
25:03
This is not staying in. This
25:06
is not staying in the audience. I've
25:08
got to keep some of it. We've
25:14
got to keep... You're only a little baby. Oh,
25:17
dear. Yeah,
25:20
they needed four surgeons to get them now. It
25:26
was for the doctor was like that moment
25:29
in Raiders of the Lost Ark. He turned around and this massive
25:31
boulder was rolling towards him.
25:39
I could just see the look on the doctor's face
25:41
as he turns around like in the entrance.
25:46
Oh,
25:49
dear. All right.
25:55
Tim, this idea is kind of half baked. Surprise, surprise.
25:57
Oh, yeah. Yep. Good work. Yep. I
26:00
haven't decided what to call it yet because I'm not
26:02
sure which direction the idea is going to go.
26:04
Oh yes. Let me tell you where it comes from. I
26:06
was watching a bit of football recently and there's
26:09
a bit of a tradition in football,
26:11
soccer football. This is that
26:13
at the end of a game, particularly if it's a big
26:16
game or an important game or a team you don't play
26:18
very often, that the players at the end
26:20
swap shirts and take
26:22
off their shirts and swap them with their opponent
26:24
and you keep your opponent's shirt as like a memento
26:27
of the game. And a lot of players have
26:29
like shirts of famous players they've played against
26:31
on display in their homes, you
26:33
know, and if you're playing against someone really famous like
26:36
Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi,
26:38
everyone wants that shirt. That's the shirt you want to swap
26:40
with at the end. Yeah, yeah. Traditionally, you might
26:42
swap shirt with the player who you were against,
26:45
like who was marking you in that game, but there's no rhyme
26:47
or reason as to who gets the shirt. Everyone
26:49
wants the shirt of the famous player. Anyway,
26:51
that got me thinking, like imagine if like you
26:54
had a podcast where you swapped shirts
26:56
at the end, like after you've presented together or you've
26:58
had a guest, like swap shirts, like,
27:01
you know, thanks for being on the show. And at the end, you
27:03
take off your shirts and things like that. So that's where
27:05
I was just starting with this sort of grain
27:07
of an idea of podcasts where you swap shirts
27:09
with your guests, which I thought
27:11
would be quite funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Seriously.
27:14
Yeah. But then I got thinking, my mind
27:16
started wondering and I thought, wouldn't
27:18
it be interesting to do, maybe it's more of
27:20
a video or a TV thing, but it could also
27:22
be a podcast where you swap wardrobes
27:24
with someone for a week.
27:26
Like I spend a week just dressing in
27:28
all your clothes and you spend a week dressing in all my
27:30
clothes and at the end of the week you talk about what was
27:33
it like, you know, wearing the shirt off someone
27:35
else's back. Yeah, yeah. What
27:37
would you think about swapping wardrobes
27:39
with someone? I like that idea. Do
27:42
you know why I like it? Because
27:44
it strikes a chord with me. I remember staying
27:46
in my cousin's house, like
27:48
house sitting 20 years ago or something
27:50
when he went on a long holiday for like two weeks and
27:53
I was a single guy, so I come and stayed in their house and
27:56
I wore a couple of his jumpers and I kind
27:59
of, I just. There was one I just
28:01
loved wearing, like I love this and
28:03
it's almost like I love it so much I want to keep
28:05
it. But it was kind of like, wow, I'm in
28:07
his like a really nice jumper,
28:09
an expensive jumper. And it was just like fun
28:12
to wear. And I remember thinking this
28:14
is
28:15
like I just want to like I want to go out and I'm going
28:17
to wear that. And I was thinking about where I could go out to wear
28:19
it because I was enjoying wearing it so much. It was just
28:21
such a lovely jumper.
28:23
And it would be funny just to step
28:25
into someone else's whole wardrobe for
28:27
a week. Yeah, that would be really
28:29
interesting. I've borrowed a jumper off someone
28:31
once, you know, because I was out somewhere and it was cold and
28:34
they said, oh, here, I've got a spare jumper. And I remember
28:36
thinking it was a great jumper, better than any
28:38
I owned and wearing it three or
28:40
four times before I gave it back. Yeah, I know.
28:42
And like not wanting to give it back because I thought this
28:45
is why like and, you know, I
28:47
could buy that jumper. I could buy any jumper
28:49
in the world within reason. Yeah. And yet it's
28:51
always someone else's jumper. You want more?
28:53
You want no good? Like other
28:55
people's clothes are always better than your clothes. I
28:57
don't know why that is. How
29:00
would you feel about wearing my clothes for a week? Well,
29:02
yeah, you're I mean, you're all right, dresser. You you
29:04
you wear.
29:05
I guess I mean, you know what I mean?
29:07
We don't dress too dissimilarly in a way.
29:10
No, I dress a lot better since I got married
29:12
and just wear what my wife tells me. Yeah,
29:15
you do. Yes, that's that
29:17
is true. You can definitely look at photos of me and tell
29:20
if I if it's pre or before I met my
29:22
wife. I think you always dressed pretty
29:24
standard. You know what I mean? Like I think you
29:27
dress. No, I was a safe dresser. You
29:29
were you were you were sort of like, you know, like,
29:31
you know, like a guy of your
29:33
age in an American sitcom
29:35
kind of dressed guy. You know what
29:37
I mean? Like you were sort of dressed standard,
29:41
you know, atypical. What I mean by that, you
29:43
were never captured by some subculture.
29:45
You were never sort of like, oh, he's wearing
29:47
grunge or he's a heavy metal guy
29:50
or he's a hip hop guy or, you
29:52
know, you never. You were a little bit more because you're
29:54
so into like music and music culture, you're
29:56
sometimes a little bit more susceptible to
29:58
trying to be cooler than.
31:59
It wouldn't fit right, it wouldn't come out
32:02
of your bradiness. But what clothes
32:04
do you wear that you don't, you know, see
32:06
on someone else in some context that some,
32:09
you know, at least influenced by seeing other
32:11
people wearing that kind of clothes? No, entirely,
32:14
entirely. That's where all our desires come
32:16
from someone else. They're all, there's a philosophy
32:18
in this. It's, it's, it's, we all, all our
32:21
desires are mimetic, mimetic desire,
32:23
which means mimic, they're imitated. We
32:25
get all our desires from the things we see
32:28
around us and we go, I want that and I want to
32:29
be like that. They don't arise
32:32
out of our own imagination, you know, they,
32:34
they arise out of imitating someone
32:37
else, even if it's bits and pieces from different
32:39
people. So if we swap shirts at the end
32:41
of this episode,
32:42
what I'm, you're getting this white t-shirt
32:44
with the Dreamville logo
32:47
written across it, which is actually, it was my pajama
32:49
t-shirt last night, I'm afraid. Well, you'll have
32:51
to wash it before you give it to me, that's for sure. You
32:54
would, you would want to wash this, I think. And what would I
32:56
be getting off you? Sort of that green, uh,
32:58
sweater-y type thing? I've just got a black
33:00
t-shirt.
33:01
I got like about eight of these black t-shirts that
33:03
I put on every day. Yeah. And then, but then
33:05
I have a jumper. It's just a nice, quite a nice jumper,
33:08
Uniqlo. That's a nice jumper. Yep. Yeah. I,
33:10
I get, this is a Brady, not un-Brady
33:13
like jumper. I like it.
33:15
I've got some black jeans. That's a good swap. No,
33:17
we're not swapping jeans and shorts or anything.
33:20
Right. Just t-shirts. Yeah. Yeah.
33:22
And. Keep those testies
33:24
under wraps, man.
33:29
Now, Tim, it's time for a very special segment,
33:31
a segment people love and know. Do
33:34
you want to sing it this week? Cause you're taking the reins this
33:36
week. I can. What's, what's this segment called? Cartoon
33:45
of the Week. Yes. Well,
33:48
I know this is a favorite part of the episode. Everyone
33:50
looks forward to Cartoon of the Week. And,
33:53
um, this week I've been thinking through, uh,
33:56
all sorts of cartoons and
33:58
I tell you, Jesus, hard to come down.
33:59
on something and I've locked it down to two.
34:03
Should I ask you to pick one or should I just go with
34:05
what I want to do? You go with what you want.
34:07
What's what's cartoon of the week? Cartoon
34:10
of the week this week
34:12
is Bluey.
34:13
Man, good choice. As
34:16
a because my my little boy has
34:18
just gotten. Well, he doesn't really understand
34:20
it or watch it, but I've been watching some Blueys and
34:23
I've got something to say about Bluey. But you take you
34:25
take the lead first. It's your your segment. Tell
34:27
people what Bluey is. Bluey is
34:29
an Australian
34:31
cartoon. And if
34:33
you know about Peppa Pig, it's
34:35
a cooler Australian version
34:38
of Peppa Pig in a way for
34:40
about the same age group, except it has a level
34:42
of sophistication that means that adults enjoy
34:45
it as well. I think it's a really, really
34:47
clever series. It's
34:50
recent. It's now like it was started in 2018
34:52
and it all surrounds
34:55
a blue healer, which is an Australian
34:57
dog
34:58
called Bluey. She's a blue hero and
35:00
the whole family are blue heroes. Yeah,
35:02
there's there's Dad, Mum, Bluey, who's the
35:04
boy and Bingo, who's the little girl
35:06
dog. That's right. And the Dad and Mum
35:08
are bandit and chilly and they're
35:11
a little family and they live in a Queenslander
35:14
home. Queensland being a state of Australia and
35:16
Queenslander being a house that's typical.
35:18
They're a big Australian home up on Stilts and,
35:20
you know, with a big backyard. There are no humans
35:22
in this show. They're all it's all about like dogs are
35:24
humans that live in houses and. Yep. And
35:27
they and they just go
35:28
through life as a little family
35:30
with the kids learning. And it's all about kind of Bluey
35:33
and Bingo and learning
35:35
lessons and little morals and little elements.
35:37
But the wonderful feature, there's
35:40
features all the way through it of the little quirks
35:42
of what it means to be a family with little kids. And
35:44
it's so endearing and it's so lovely.
35:47
And it has lots of little quintessential Australian
35:50
bits and pieces in it that that Australians would
35:52
pick up. But I think it seems in
35:54
their own way are quite endearing to people around
35:56
the world as well.
35:58
It's massive in the UK. huge,
36:00
huge show in the UK. Oh, really? Yeah. Tim,
36:03
I watched two episodes of Bluey Back to Back
36:06
the other day. I was with my little boy. He
36:08
wasn't really paying attention. He was just playing with
36:10
toys or whatever he was doing, but I ended up watching them just
36:12
sitting on the sofa watching two episodes. And
36:16
usually here on the BBC, they play two
36:18
back to back because it's such a short
36:20
show. They usually show two episodes
36:23
back to back. I watched these two episodes.
36:26
Both of them had me crying at the end. Yeah,
36:28
I know this. They were so emotional
36:31
and touching and heartfelt with such
36:33
a great lesson taught in such a brilliant way.
36:35
The first one, I had a little cry at the end. The
36:38
second one had
36:39
me in pieces. It was brilliant. I
36:41
think it was an episode called Camping when
36:43
Bluey goes camping with his family
36:46
and makes a little friend. And it's about how you
36:48
make these friends on a camping trip and you may
36:50
not see them again and stuff. It was fantastic.
36:53
So moving. It's worshipped
36:55
in our house. And some new episodes have come
36:58
out like one per week. And it's like, it's
37:00
up, it's up, it's up. Come and have a look. That's
37:02
the cry that goes up. Because your girls, I would have thought, were
37:04
too old for Bluey. But they've been watching Bluey
37:06
since for the last few years,
37:09
but they
37:09
love it. And I love it, too. It's just the same
37:11
as you. And they hold on to these things. For
37:14
them, it's nostalgic, but they genuinely look they're
37:16
still into it totally. And I think it really
37:18
because
37:19
because it's so sincere and
37:21
there's a few things about it that I really, really love
37:24
because it's so sincere. It
37:26
works for different ages because it's
37:28
not like, oh, I grow out of that lesson. The lesson
37:30
becomes more true as you get older. Whatever
37:33
little lesson she learns. You
37:35
look at it through the parents, the parent dogs,
37:38
you look at it through their eyes when you are. Because like the dad's
37:40
a typical dad who sometimes is a bit lazy
37:42
and doesn't want to have to do his duties
37:45
as a parent. But then but then he kind of
37:47
does. And he realizes it's his responsibility.
37:49
He does it so well. And like
37:52
it's very it's very real. Well, I
37:54
think I think actually that's maybe
37:56
one of the most unique and defining features
37:58
of it is that the dad.
37:59
is a positive figure like you
38:02
think about all these other cartoons like American
38:04
dad and the Simpsons.
38:07
That they're all and the
38:10
father's a family guy awful family
38:12
guy he's awful and lazy
38:14
and terrible he's a point of absolute derision
38:17
is the worst of the family. Where
38:19
is this dad's like doing the dish is sincere
38:22
he wants to do the right thing. Yeah
38:25
helping with his cooks you know like
38:27
he's part of and and P is
38:29
a positive.
38:31
Father figure which is
38:33
pretty rare on television these days
38:35
and is really refreshing really lovely. And
38:37
I really love that about it as well because I see a lot of
38:39
myself in him who where is kind of ordinary the
38:41
other thing about him that's really lovely is his
38:44
his voice by guy could David McCormick
38:46
who was in an Australian band called custard.
38:49
That were really big in the 90s so there's
38:51
a whole lot of Gen X sort
38:53
of dad's like you and me but
38:56
if you're into music in the 90s in Australia
38:58
you know custard and you sort of
39:00
know his voice and you sort of. So
39:02
it's lovely little connection to someone
39:05
like that as well no one else would really know that it's
39:07
just that it's a little like I
39:09
saw custard a bunch of times in the pub
39:11
and so now him voicing. The
39:14
main character in my kids favourite show is
39:16
like a funny little nice connection as well
39:18
I really like
39:19
that. Nice good choice.

to say if people become a Patreon supporter now
40:50
there will be opportunities in the future as well.
40:53
Yes, there will be. Yes. There
40:56
will be. The answer is yes. They
40:58
are coming. Cool. They are
41:00
coming. Absolute collectors
41:01
items. Can
41:04
I ask a question before we go on? You mentioned before
41:06
Ronaldo right when you were talking about soccer.
41:10
And yes. Can I just clarify how
41:12
many Ronaldo's are there? Are there
41:14
is it is there a Ronaldo? There are
41:17
two that are very very super famous.
41:19
Right. There's one who played for Brazil.
41:22
Right. And
41:24
led them to the 2002 World Cup. He
41:26
is the one that had a couple of funny haircuts and
41:29
shaved head. He was a striker. And
41:32
then there's Cristiano Ronaldo who
41:34
plays for Portugal. He's the current
41:36
famous Ronaldo. He's a he's
41:39
also an attacking player. He's a bit taller
41:42
and he's probably
41:44
probably got more runs on the board now. He's like he's
41:46
one of the great players. So there
41:48
are two Ronaldo's and you can someone
41:50
with your level of interest in soccer could
41:52
become confused. And how if
41:55
people are talking about Ronaldo like imagine
41:57
if there were two two of the two
41:59
best.
41:59
basketballers in the world in the 90s were both called
42:02
Jordan. Wouldn't that be confusing? Well,
42:04
no, because the Brazilian one is just
42:07
referred to as Ronaldo. Just the one word
42:09
as many Brazilian players are. They're like
42:11
Palais and Rivaldo. They tend to
42:13
just become known by one name. Whereas
42:18
the Portuguese one is generally known
42:20
as Cristiano Ronaldo. You know, he's, you
42:22
know, he's known by both names. You
42:24
would use his first name, you
42:27
know, in some contexts. Yeah, the
42:29
Brazilian one retired quite some time ago
42:31
and is now carrying a lot of timber.
42:34
Right. Right. A
42:38
Maradona amount of timber or? He
42:40
got like he did get quite overweight
42:42
like Maradona. He's very overweight. Yeah.
42:45
Great player in his day, though. Super
42:48
player. Cool. OK. Oh, that clarifies
42:51
because I yeah, that's anyway.
42:54
So, Tim, have you got an idea for a podcast
42:56
this week? I do. Oh, all right.
42:59
I'm ready. Yes, I do. You
43:01
seem surprised that I'm
43:03
I'm surprised myself to be honest. I
43:06
seem surprised because because before we started recording,
43:08
you told me you didn't. No, I've thought of one.
43:11
It's not on my list. It's inspired by something
43:13
on my list. I've been scrolling back and forward through
43:15
the list. But is it about people called Ronaldo?
43:20
I would like to interview everyone called Ronaldo
43:23
in the world, in the world. I
43:25
my idea, you can help me workshop it
43:27
a little bit because it has just come to me. So it feels
43:30
a little bit late.
43:32
The
43:34
idea the idea that I had written down was
43:37
about going back and working at
43:39
a place where you had a part time
43:41
job when you were
43:43
when you were a teenager. I
43:46
love this idea. Oh. Just like
43:48
going back and doing a job you used to do. Yeah.
43:50
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, OK. If
43:52
that's a good enough. Let's just stop there. That's my
43:54
idea. That was my idea. That was how
43:58
are you going to undo that good idea?
43:59
With an amazing name
44:02
first. I
44:04
was going to pivot it more into
44:06
a
44:07
midlife crisis. Like what other things
44:09
do you want to go back and do from, you know
44:11
what I mean? Your teenage years that people do when they
44:13
have like a midlife crisis in a film. Yeah,
44:16
yeah. All right. So you could go skateboarding and
44:18
all, you know, that sort of stuff. Yeah, yeah. But
44:21
I just love the idea of going back and doing a
44:23
shift of a job you did,
44:25
like doing a shift of your first ever job. Mm
44:28
hmm. Like stacking, like you'd go back and
44:30
stack the shelves at Foodland for a few
44:32
hours. Well, that's right. Well, I had a few part time jobs.
44:34
That wasn't the first, but that would be an
44:37
example of one. Yeah. Yeah. You could go and pump
44:39
petrol at Mick's score post, the petrol discount
44:41
king on Marion Road. That's the one I don't
44:43
want to do. I don't know why I despise
44:45
that job so much, but I don't want to do
44:47
that one. Whereas whereas when I go into
44:49
a supermarket, I get an urge to like stack
44:52
the shelves and clean things up a little bit. I
44:55
hate pumping
44:55
petrol. My first job actually
44:57
was delivering newspapers, which is
44:59
a little bit boring. But I after
45:01
that, I did clean a butcher every Saturday
45:04
afternoon. And that was a lot of fun. The butcher
45:06
shop, not the butcher himself. I hope.
45:10
Under the arms, sir.
45:12
There we go. That's right. You're cleaning
45:14
a butcher. Yes.
45:19
That must have been gruesome.
45:20
It was very I went home saturatedly
45:23
wet, but it was good fun. It was very satisfying
45:25
and cleaning and a lot of fun. And yeah,
45:27
I quite enjoyed it. But you wouldn't go home covered in
45:29
blood. You'd go home covered in water. Yeah, it's
45:32
the end of the day. So all the butchering is done
45:34
earlier in the week. And this is Saturday afternoon. The
45:36
last of it's being sold. You're helping to put it away
45:38
in the freezer. Then you're wiping down the big
45:40
counter or, you know, you're sort of cleaning,
45:43
basically cleaning. And so it's just I
45:45
just go home sat. There's big like hose
45:47
that you blow across the
45:50
shop floor and
45:50
everything. Yeah, that was good
45:53
fun. Yeah, that that's what about
45:55
you. Now, listen, I'm I think
45:57
you only had one little part time
45:59
job. there didn't you? I guess I
46:01
was I was quite privileged in that way. I
46:04
did I did stack supermarket
46:06
shelves for a couple of shifts at a supermarket
46:09
on North Adelaide, but I hated I hated
46:12
it and didn't go back. Was it you who
46:14
went and got my final pay packet for me? I didn't.
46:16
I know. We talked about because you didn't
46:18
even go back to get your final pay packet and I thought
46:20
about getting it for you. That's right. They used
46:23
to pay me in cash, like cash in an envelope
46:25
and I didn't go back and get my final one because I couldn't bear to
46:27
even go back. So I needed a couple of shifts
46:30
as that. So I wouldn't count that. The only
46:32
job I had that was a sort of a part time
46:34
job was as what
46:35
was called a copy boy. Oh, yeah. At
46:38
at the newspaper, which I just did one day a week.
46:40
It was a job that had to be done. Basically, you were like an errand
46:43
boy. Yeah. You were called a copy boy because your main
46:45
job was taking copies
46:47
of the what the pages were going to look like when
46:49
they'd been drawn up and designed by the sub
46:51
editors. You had to take them down to the photography
46:54
area and the printers and stuff. So a lot of your job
46:56
was just running up and down stairs and lifts. So
46:59
you just hear someone call copy from across
47:01
the newsroom and you'd run over and get the piece of paper
47:04
and take it down to another thing.
47:05
But you also just had to do all the
47:07
errands. You ran things around the building. You went
47:09
and bought everyone's lunches. You would
47:11
sometimes have to place bets for the gambling addicts
47:13
on the horse races and stuff. You were just like a dog's
47:16
body. And these were jobs because
47:18
it was a weekend job. These were
47:20
kind of jobs mainly for the kids
47:22
of the people who work there. Yeah. So it was
47:24
like favours for the boys. So everyone like the four
47:26
or five of us who work there were all sons and daughters
47:29
of people who worked for the newspaper. So
47:31
my dad, you know, I got the job through
47:33
my dad and I did that for a
47:35
year or two until I actually got my cadetship
47:37
as a proper
47:38
newspaper journalist. Yeah. So that was the only
47:40
job I ever did. And it wasn't like
47:42
I thought it was quite a fun job. I
47:45
quite liked it. So it doesn't feel
47:47
it was a menial normal job. It was a proper job,
47:49
but it doesn't feel like a job the way your jobs felt
47:52
like jobs, where you were doing something really that
47:54
felt really sort of boring and menial and fun
47:57
to me. I know you had fun doing it, but totally. It
47:59
was felt more.
47:59
like real jobs. I know, I know. I
48:02
mean, you being a copy boy, I know that that kind of suited
48:04
you a little bit more. I, to be honest, I
48:07
remember going into the supermarket,
48:09
probably to pick you up one day when you were in there working
48:12
and you were kind of pricing things, which
48:14
was still back in. That's how small the supermarket
48:16
was. Yeah, it was epoxy that was supermarket. You had
48:18
those guns, pricing guns, the label of the
48:20
pricing gun. Yeah. And I
48:23
remember seeing you do that and feeling
48:25
pity for you. Like, oh, no, this isn't
48:27
Brady. This doesn't work at all.
48:29
Probably sort of doing it. Getting my
48:32
hands. Slowly. I could have ended up needing
48:34
surgery like you. That's right. It was
48:36
just like, I don't know, you were inefficient
48:39
and slow. Yeah, I don't know. It was just all wrong. It
48:41
was like, no, this is. No, I'm not
48:43
a fast worker. I can't work fast. Even
48:45
now, like if it's my turn to clean
48:47
the kitchen, sometimes my wife will just get sick of watching
48:50
me do it so slowly. Yeah. Yeah,
48:52
you do. I've seen you do. You are. Yeah. That's
48:54
why do you do it fast and then it's, and
48:56
then it's done. I'm methodical.
48:58
Mm. That's one word for it.
49:00
Yeah. But I'd love to go back and do a shift as a
49:02
cos a copy boy. That was, that was a really
49:05
fun job. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, you get
49:07
to see all the pictures that are going to go in the paper
49:09
before they go in and watching the pages
49:11
getting laid out. That's a dream. There's
49:13
something about, I think, those jobs. If you,
49:15
if you go back and do them, there's, there's a simplicity
49:18
to them. You feel less pressure. I mean, you're
49:20
getting like
49:21
hardly any money. That's the thing. I mean, I've
49:23
got $4.50 or something. Which,
49:26
you know, for pumping petrol, but there
49:29
was, there was, I didn't also need anything really much.
49:32
So it's a particular moment of life where.
49:34
You lived like a king. I would dearly love
49:36
to hear from the listeners, from
49:38
the civilians out there about some of your
49:41
early jobs and how you would feel about going back
49:43
and doing a shift now. Is it something you would
49:45
relish, something you would loathe? What
49:47
would it be like? Does the job even exist anymore?
49:50
I imagine the copy boy jobs really
49:51
dying out now because of, because there's
49:53
not much need for moving
49:55
documents around buildings so much.
49:57
Because they can email. Someone that has gone buy their hamburgers.
50:00
at lunch, but that's about it. Yeah. Do
50:02
you- When you became a journalist and you had
50:04
copy boys running around for you then, well,
50:08
firstly, were there copy girls or were they always
50:10
copy boys? Yeah, there were copy girls. There were
50:12
copy girls who worked with me. Like, I call myself
50:14
a copy boy because, you know, they were copy
50:16
girls. Right, okay. But yeah, there were girls that worked with me. And
50:19
were you good to them because you knew what it was like to
50:21
be the one running around? Like, were you kind
50:22
to them? I think so. I mean, my job-
50:26
Most of the time I worked at the newspaper, I
50:28
had less use for them. As
50:30
a reporter, you don't have as much use for the
50:33
copy staff as sub-editors
50:36
do and the people who are laying out the pages and stuff. But
50:38
I did- You know, they delivered my post and
50:40
stuff and I'd always go and talk to them. I
50:43
was friends with- I socialised with some of them, went out
50:45
with some of them. Yeah, but I
50:47
had a different- I did have a- I probably
50:49
looked on them in a more charming
50:52
way because I'd done the job, you know, so I
50:54
felt like one of them in a way. Yeah,
50:56
yeah. Yeah. All right. Good
50:58
idea, man. Good idea. You pulled that one out of the
51:00
bag. Oh, gosh. Going back and- You
51:03
haven't got a title for it yet, but I don't know what the title would
51:05
be called, but- Part-time job. Extra
51:07
shift. Part-time job. Extra shift. Yeah, one more
51:09
shift or something. The final shift. The final
51:11
shift. Final shift. There we go. Yes. Yeah. Get
51:13
in touch, people. Remember also, Patreon.com
51:16
slash UnmadeFM. You know, we're still going to be giving
51:18
away other stuff still, like spoons and cards
51:21
and all that sort of stuff. But now we've got key rings in there
51:23
as well. They are seriously quality.
51:25
They are nice. Have you sent mine already?
51:27
Is it going to get here soon? I haven't sent it
51:29
yet. And also there's a video of
51:31
them being made that I have. So
51:33
I will link to that in the description. Very
51:36
satisfying watching leather work happen. Yes.
51:39
And this is a satisfying video with really nice sounds
51:41
as well. Nice audio, as I played
51:43
some of earlier. Good work. Did you have any secret
51:46
words you needed to smuggle into the show for your daughter's
51:48
birthday? Yes. Look, they are written on my- Oh,
51:51
yeah. I can see all the ink on your hand, but
51:53
you haven't read them. No.
51:56
No, of course not. No. They're literally
51:58
like, they're hard to- miss. I'm
52:03
going to get a kick up the butt. Blah.
52:12
Testies wasn't the other one. No,
52:17
no. No. How
52:19
did I manage to say that and not say butt?
52:23
Butt. And
52:26
what was the other word? It was blah,
52:29
which is a blah, blah, which is like
52:31
a made up word. That's a very important made
52:33
up word in with
52:35
my daughters and friends.
52:38
That would have been hard to drop in. It's literally written
52:40
on my hand. Terrible.
52:42
I'm a terrible dad. This could be a blue episode actually,
52:44
where it's like the dad continually fails.
