0:00

Recording in progress.

0:07

You're wearing black. Did you play tennis in black

0:09

or have you put black on to cool down? I

0:11

did. I always play tennis in black. Oh.

0:14

It made someone I was playing the other day think I was a New Zealander,

0:16

though, which I was not happy about. He goes, are you from New Zealand?

0:18

Because he heard my accent. And I'm like,

0:21

no, what made you say that? Were you wearing all

0:23

black? Yeah. Fair enough. I

0:25

was wearing all black. Is it because you like to be

0:27

the dark guy on the court

0:29

in the midst of...? I like to do a hukka before

0:31

we start, except the song I do it is The

0:34

Man in Black. Yes. Man

0:36

in black,

0:37

man in black is

0:39

back. I'm wearing, I usually

0:41

wear a black cap, too. So

0:46

you're singing about yourself just as you walk

0:48

on. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I can just

0:50

hear, I can just hear your voice

0:51

in the back of my head. The man

0:54

in black, the man

0:56

in black is back. Man

1:02

in black, man

1:04

in black and a black cap.

1:07

You know how Wimbledon is the only Grand

1:09

Slam where you must wear pure

1:11

white, like with no branding and stuff. In the tennis, yes.

1:13

In the tennis, yes. Then is

1:16

all, are all English people like that? I

1:18

picture English people out in pure white,

1:21

you know, clothes and that you just stride

1:23

out in your black and... There aren't

1:25

many people at my club who wear all white. A few

1:28

of the women do wear like white tennis outfits.

1:30

But I think if you turn up wearing all

1:32

white, I don't know, it looks

1:34

like you're taking it all a bit seriously. Right.

1:37

But you

1:37

better be good. Yes. Yes. That's

1:40

why you wear coming black, because, oh, this guy will be rubbish.

1:44

Lower the expectations. Look,

1:46

speaking of colours

1:48

and speaking of the colour blue, Bluey,

1:51

the animated dog we

1:53

discussed last episode. Yes.

1:56

Cartoon, which everyone seems to love.

1:59

I said Bluey. was a boy, I referred

2:01

to him with male pronouns. Louis

2:04

is a girl. Yes. Tim, Tim,

2:06

as someone with two daughters will appreciate that there

2:08

are two daughters in the show, Louis, not a boy

2:11

and a girl. And I would thank everyone

2:13

individually who pointed that out, but we

2:15

don't have that long. And

2:20

can I just say we don't have time

2:22

to even cover the amount of people that pointed

2:24

it out to me. You

2:27

could have told me during the recording and saved

2:29

me

2:29

so much hassle. I didn't catch you saying

2:32

it during the recording. Yeah,

2:34

I didn't catch you saying it. You're

2:36

the only one. So,

2:39

so I obviously I've only watched

2:41

a handful of episodes I just didn't realise and,

2:43

you know, little kids all sound the same to me. And

2:46

as someone who has a boy that sometimes confused for

2:48

a girl, like, you know, that just happens with kids.

2:50

So,

2:52

but think, no, I'm not going to thank everyone

2:54

who pointed it out. I'm just going to thank some of you. The

2:56

ones I'm not going to thank are

2:58

the ones who went on to Reddit or somewhere,

3:01

saw that it had already been pointed out and

3:04

pointed it out again. I

3:06

think that's at best, that's lazy.

3:09

And at worst, the worst

3:11

people are the ones who see someone write on Reddit

3:13

are bluey as a girl and write as a

3:15

reply to that comment. Yes, bluey

3:17

as a girl. So they've definitely seen

3:19

that it's been pointed out. And

3:22

Gillette great moment, pointless comments.

3:27

People love pointing out mistakes.

3:30

Yeah, make a mistake. God, people

3:32

love it. And this was like this was like

3:34

peak, absolute peak. Bluey

3:36

is a girl. It is a bit like the conventional,

3:39

you know, it's

3:39

the family of four on TV

3:41

and you know what I mean? The little girl on the board, you know,

3:44

that's what you see that over and over. And in my

3:46

defense, everyone I've ever

3:48

known who is called blue or bluey,

3:50

which is a nickname in Australia, usually

3:53

for people with red hair.

3:54

It's a male nickname. I've never known

3:57

a female to be called blue or bluey in

3:59

my life. But I've known lots

4:01

of men to be called that. So

4:03

that is true. So that is part of

4:05

the reason I think I made the mistake. The other one

4:08

is the parents in Bluey. The

4:10

man is sort of a blue coloured blue healer

4:13

and the mother is like a red coloured red healer.

4:15

Yeah. And Bluey is blue coloured and

4:18

bingo, the other girl is

4:20

a red coloured. So there was a confluence

4:23

of

4:24

information that led to my mistake.

4:26

But it was a mistake. Bluey is a girl.

4:29

You can all relax. It

4:31

was I it was my assumption when I was

4:33

introduced by my daughters and then it was like, oh,

4:35

right. OK, yeah. Yeah. I assumed

4:38

one should never assume. And if you think it's funny

4:40

to now go on Twitter and say to me again,

4:42

Bluey is a girl, you go ahead

4:44

and do that and you have your little chuckle. But

4:47

know this.

4:48

You will be muted and it's the last

4:50

thing I will ever read you right. So

4:53

decide if you want that joke enough because it's

4:55

the last joke you'll make to me. And

4:58

that's OK. But later on

5:00

in like six months when you want to contact me on Twitter

5:02

and tell me something,

5:04

I won't be seeing it. So make

5:06

your choice. Make your choice. Do you want

5:08

the joke? It's up

5:10

to you. Way to ostracise 90

5:13

percent of our civilians in

5:15

one five minute intro. It's

5:18

all right.

5:18

No, no, no. Everyone who's already done it,

5:21

you're fine. You know, you were right.

5:23

You were right. And that's right to point out mistakes and

5:25

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But if

5:27

you do it now for a joke. Do

5:30

you know what those pointless comments are a bit like? You

5:32

know that scene in a film or maybe

5:34

you remember from primary school where someone's like

5:36

said something to someone

5:38

that no one else has had the courage to say.

5:41

But there's about 10 people behind them and

5:43

that and then they one by one they go. Yeah,

5:45

yeah, yeah. Yeah.

5:52

Speaking of blue, let me read this fantastic. We

5:55

got other messages about bluey people who love the show.

5:57

You know, it's a really strikes a chord and it's

5:59

a fantastic.

5:59

show. It is sort of for kids,

6:02

but go ahead and watch it even if you're an adult because it is great.

6:04

I love this message. This came from Cody

6:07

in Wisconsin.

6:08

I've been meaning to write in for a while now,

6:10

but the latest episode prompted me to finally

6:12

do so. I was listening to the podcast

6:15

while out on patrol. I work a 12-hour

6:17

night shift and the shift can get quite long.

6:20

I should point out that Cody is like a patrol

6:22

officer, like a policeman.

6:25

Anyway, I have long had a soft spot in my heart

6:27

for Australian culture and when you guys mentioned Bluey,

6:29

I figured I should check it out so I would understand

6:31

the reference.

6:32

During a particularly slow part of the shift,

6:35

I parked on the side of the road and ran some radar

6:38

and I pulled YouTube up on my phone. Between

6:40

cars, I watched a couple of episodes of Bluey.

6:43

I must say, I was struck by how genuine

6:46

the show feels. There I was, a 29-year-old

6:49

deputy sitting in my patrol car on the side

6:51

of the road crying like a little girl

6:53

at the genuine wholesomeness of the show.

6:56

I think it is about the most wholesome content I've

6:58

ever consumed besides the wholesome

7:00

episode with Mrs. Hine, of course.

7:02

Which I think would have benefited from a mention of

7:05

Bluey. Yes. Oh,

7:08

that's great. Very good. I like it. I like

7:10

that he's a boy in

7:12

blue as well, like as we call the police in

7:14

Australia. Yeah.

7:17

I wonder if like Cody would have pulled

7:19

anyone over and just like got caught

7:21

up in the emotion and the wholesomeness and the

7:24

goodness of it all and let them off. I'll let you off

7:26

with a warning this time just for Bluey.

7:28

A little moral lesson.

7:30

Come on now. You know, you can do better.

7:32

I believe in you. Yes.

7:35

Also, in the last episode, we mentioned jobs

7:39

that we did when we were younger, whether

7:41

we'd like to go back to them or not and things like that. It was an

7:43

idea from Tim and we heard from lots of you about

7:45

jobs you did. Thank you for writing in. I'll

7:47

mention one here from Spin Echo.

7:51

In high school in the early 90s, I

7:53

worked delivery for a florist. Fantastic

7:56

job. Basically paid to drive around

7:58

and listen to my mixtapes all day. at $3

8:01

per delivery, cash of course, no

8:03

GPS, maps code all

8:05

the way. People receiving the flowers

8:07

were generally very happy. It was a highlight

8:09

of their day. The main downside

8:12

was that the tips were rare. The recipients

8:14

weren't usually expecting flowers. They

8:17

were happy to be receiving a gift and tipping the

8:19

delivery person was not on their mind. Also

8:21

every now and again, the delivery was for a funeral,

8:24

which brought you down a little. The other

8:26

fun memory from that job was Valentine's Day

8:28

and Mother's Day. Way too many

8:29

deliveries to be done, but at $3 a pop,

8:32

I was there to make it happen. I had to drive

8:35

around town like a madman. The flowers

8:37

would be flying around in the trunk. I had to remake

8:39

many of the arrangements in the parking lot or driveway.

8:43

I think being a flower delivery person would be

8:45

great.

8:46

Why? Because it's

8:48

bringing joy? Yeah, you're just this bubble of happiness.

8:52

It's like this person who walks in the room and brings

8:54

happiness and smiles and laughter

8:56

and tears and love. What

8:59

a great thing to do. Yeah,

9:01

I like the idea. I think it's my

9:03

wife's fantasy to be a florist, just

9:05

to sort of have

9:07

a little florist flower shop. But I

9:09

think heaps of girls think that. They have

9:11

this sort of vision of being there and having

9:13

a florist. They never think about

9:16

having to do all the paperwork and the book work and, you

9:18

know, marketing the GST. Maybe

9:21

they do. But. Well, tell your wife

9:23

if she opens a florist, I'm up for being her delivery

9:25

boy. Oh, man, that's awesome.

9:28

Yeah. You got a long way to come for the shifts,

9:30

but

9:31

it's dedication. Three bucks a pop. Three

9:33

bucks a pop makes an absolute killing. You

9:36

must deal with a lot of flower delivery because you do weddings

9:38

and funerals and stuff. Yeah, but I'm not actually getting

9:40

married or, you know, like

9:43

they're around the place. Yeah. There are

9:45

there's a flower room here at the church

9:47

where there's like flowers and stuff arranged.

9:50

It's like done and arranged for Sunday and for

9:52

different events and things. And it's got

9:54

all like vases and stuff. You sounds

9:56

like you're not particularly au fait with

9:59

the flower room.

9:59

I'm not across

10:02

the detail of it, to be honest. No,

10:04

you delegate the flowers. You're not in there

10:06

arranging them before your sermon. I

10:09

don't notice flowers,

10:11

to be honest. Apart from tulips, I

10:13

sort of go, oh, there's a tulip because I recognize it.

10:16

Or, but I don't I don't notice flowers

10:19

at all. Will you do me a favor

10:21

this Sunday at church?

10:23

Before you do your sermon, will you say, will you

10:25

just take a second to say, can I just say how wonderful

10:27

the flowers look today and thank whoever arranged them?

10:30

I do. They're not every week, I must say,

10:32

but I will I will do that. Oh,

10:35

or at least I'll point around and go, where are the flowers?

10:37

I love it when we have flowers. Who's not

10:39

done their job today? And then.

10:44

Are you

10:47

a big flower buyer? Do you do you

10:49

with your wife buy or someone

10:51

else buy flowers? It's not my instinct.

10:54

I know sometimes to do it, to bring happiness

10:56

to the house, but it's not an instinctive

10:58

move for me because they're temporary. I like

11:00

buying presents that last forever. Right.

11:03

And I know that's part of the romance of them. I know

11:05

that's part of the beauty of giving flowers, but

11:08

I'd rather like a piece of jewelry or something,

11:10

you know, something that lasts forever. It is

11:12

crazy because it's an easy win. It's always

11:14

a win, isn't it? I know. Why

11:17

do we not do it more? I never think

11:19

of it. No. Yeah, you're right.

11:21

It's like it's low hanging flowers.

11:24

Oh, dear. Anyway,

11:28

flower delivery. I love the idea of just

11:30

being that happy person. Also,

11:33

another thing that we've been discussing lately

11:35

is

11:36

it all started with. Oh,

11:38

I'm sorry, I've forgotten his name. It's just fallen out of my head,

11:41

but we've mentioned him a few times, so he can't complain.

11:43

The chap from Israel, who when he rubs his chin,

11:46

the beady part of his chin gets hiccups

11:48

automatically. Oh, yes. Yeah. And then

11:50

we heard from other people who get that. And

11:53

Elazar 17 did a bit of research

11:55

and wrote,

11:56

as they mentioned the hiccup thing again, I actually

11:59

did some research.

11:59

search and found a medical paper from 2004

12:03

called chin stimulation a

12:06

trigger point for provoking acute hiccups

12:09

that seems to describe what the other listeners have

12:11

mentioned. I think the paper is just a one

12:13

page letter to the editor but it's well referenced

12:15

and an interesting read. Here's the link

12:17

and I will put the link in the notes for this

12:20

episode so people can go and have a look. I

12:22

have had a read of it myself and it seems

12:25

like it was just a doctor that had

12:26

heard a bit about this seems to be. Maybe

12:30

a journal called respiration

12:32

yeah respiration. Initiation

12:35

of hiccups by manipulation of the unshaven 24

12:38

hour hair growth chin. Is

12:41

a not previously known way to provoke

12:43

this mysterious malady which ceases

12:45

abruptly upon interruption of chin

12:48

manipulation. And later on it says

12:50

we report to middle aged healthy men

12:52

who discovered that by stroking or shaving

12:54

their unshaven chin. They could

12:57

provoke acute explosive hiccups

12:59

the reflex disappeared after local

13:01

anesthesia of the

13:02

mental nerve. Gosh and then it goes

13:04

into a lot of other details and lots of big long

13:07

words and body parts I've never heard of so

13:10

have a read people the real deal.

13:12

No they go well that I guess that settles

13:14

it yes. That you're a believer now with you finally

13:16

you've come around. I'm amazed that they got that article

13:19

out so quickly we only broadcast that episode

13:21

a few weeks ago.

13:26

One more message from

13:29

a civilian that I'm very

13:31

excited to read this

13:33

comes from Jay Oswald. In

13:36

Australia and J's wife

13:38

and Elise J writes just

13:41

wanted to introduce both of you to

13:43

your probably youngest fan is

13:46

nine hours old at the moment and

13:49

there's a picture of a baby. And

13:51

it says and made has been me and my

13:53

wife's favorite podcast since we

13:55

were dating and now we're married

13:57

with our first baby

13:59

we decide. I decided to call him Adrian

14:02

Brady Oswald brackets.

14:05

Sorry, Tim. Unbelievable.

14:08

We are already planning our first privilege

14:10

to Drowgan KFC. Brady,

14:13

Adrian Brady, named after

14:15

the great man. How does

14:17

that happen? Incredible. They

14:19

obviously flipped a coin. I

14:21

hope you're really jealous. I hope that's made you

14:23

really jealous. I am a little

14:26

bit jealous. Yes, I am. Yeah. Tim

14:29

is a pretty common name though. He's like, you know, it's

14:32

a wonderful

14:32

name. Yeah, but

14:34

it's there. And it's, I'm not saying it's a bad

14:37

name. It's a, it's a perfectly serviceable

14:39

name, but you're not going to say to your

14:41

parents like, why is my middle name Tim? Like

14:43

you're just going to be like, oh, Tim. But

14:45

like when your middle name's Brady, it's like, Adrian

14:48

Brady sounds great too. Why the heck

14:51

is my middle name Brady? That's what he's going to say

14:53

one day. Is there

14:55

another? I don't know if I've asked you this

14:57

before. Have you met another Brady with a first

14:59

name Brady? I have met a couple.

15:02

I wasn't initializing my twenties that I met my first,

15:05

but I've now met, yeah, a couple,

15:08

two or three. And I've met, and I'm sure

15:10

I told you the story. It was the night Donald Trump

15:12

was elected.

15:13

I remember I was

15:16

at a, a theater group and

15:18

I needed to charge my phone and

15:21

I saw a phone charger. So I said

15:23

to someone, oh, can I use that phone charger?

15:25

And they said, oh, that's Brady's phone charger. You'll have

15:27

to go and check. So I went upstairs

15:29

and said, oh, is Brady here? I want to borrow your

15:31

phone charger. And this woman turned around and said, yes,

15:33

that's me. Lady

15:38

Brady, she has been nicknamed.

15:40

Oh, that's a great story. I have, and I have

15:42

met one or two fellas as well, but

15:44

not many, not many. I've never

15:46

met a female Timothy, I

15:48

have to say. Really? But there is. Is

15:51

there a female version of Tim or Timothy?

15:53

Is there like a, you know, had lots of names. Well,

15:55

female. The only reference point I have for

15:57

this is at school

15:59

being. given the nickname Timba Lena, you

16:01

know, how you'd be sort of called a girl as

16:04

a, you know, dr. Everything. So Timba

16:06

Lena. But I'm not sure that was well

16:08

researched by the other kids in grade six. And

16:12

and it's never really stuck. But

16:14

I remember it 30 years later and 40 years later.

16:20

Tim Tim. No, there's not really to

16:23

meet tomorrow. Tim. There's

16:25

not. I don't think really. Heidi

16:28

is the alternative

16:29

name to Tim, if you recall.

16:32

Remember my parents, my mum told me that's what

16:34

they were going to call me. Oh, yeah. I

16:36

had a girl. You were going to be Heidi Hine, that's right.

16:39

I was going to be Heidi Hine, yeah. Love

16:41

it. I really like that, actually.

16:43

And I was going to be Courtney. That's right.

16:46

But anyway, lucky Adrian. Welcome

16:48

to the world. I like the name Adrian

16:50

too. I've had a few Adrian's that I've known and

16:52

it's they always seem to be kind of pretty cool people.

16:55

There we go. He's going to be like a poet or a novelist,

16:57

I think. Something like that. He's got to be an absolute

17:00

legend is what he's going to be. Well

17:05

done. Thank you for that message. And thank you for choosing.

17:08

I think I guess they just said, well, which host

17:10

do we like more? And went with Brady. I

17:13

consider it must have been. Which

17:15

which host do we feel sorry for? And,

17:17

you know,

17:18

feel like we need to throw him a

17:20

bone. Try him a bone. Give

17:22

him something. Can I just point out at this point,

17:24

before we move any further, like I have words

17:27

from my daughters, right?

17:29

And secret words. I have secret

17:31

words and I'm just I'm just putting that. Oh, this is

17:33

early. I know. I'm just putting a marker in the

17:35

episode and just saying they were

17:38

written. Look, they were written on my hand back to front

17:40

in text by one of the

17:42

daughters. I can see them. Over dinner. I can

17:44

see them. Can you see what they are? Can you make out what they are?

17:46

Are they back to front? Yes, I can read them. Yes. Yes.

17:49

Good. So they're there. Let's

17:51

just remember they're there.

17:53

We don't have to say them now, but

17:55

I want to say them at some stage. And if you can

17:57

help be so eager, Kena's.

18:00

You are. Well, that's right. That's

18:06

right. I'm bouncing up and down like

18:09

Tigger. All

18:13

right. Well, let's say maybe we'll drop the minute.

18:16

Some point we'll see. Now,

18:22

unbelievably, as Tim has actually done

18:24

his job for the episode from his. He's

18:27

drunk in the secret words. I got nothing

18:29

else. I got nothing else. Well, that's it's

18:31

funny you've done that because I cannot

18:32

think of an episode we've been less prepared

18:35

for than this. It's been a bit and

18:37

you're probably thinking, well, if you're not prepared, why are you recording

18:39

an episode? And that's a fair question. And

18:43

the answer is basically, I've got a busy

18:45

few days and a week ahead. So we suddenly

18:47

realize it was kind of now or never. So it was

18:49

a last minute decision. But it does mean

18:52

I

18:52

don't know how well prepared our ideas will be. Probably

18:55

about as badly as ever. Well, I think if you

18:57

start asking questions like that, you sort of get to

18:59

what? Why are we doing this at all? Like, what are we

19:01

doing with our lives? Why?

19:05

I do wonder that from time to time. So

19:12

who's going to go first with an idea for a podcast?

19:14

I've got one. My

19:16

poorly named episode. This

19:19

is from the Tim School of Podcast Naming. I've

19:22

decided to call white chocolate.

19:23

Oh, I like this already. You

19:26

like that. You like the name. I'm a big white chocolate

19:28

fan. Oh, no, you're joking. What?

19:30

Oh, well, that even that ruins my idea

19:32

even more because I

19:35

was not necessarily. But white

19:37

chocolate is divisive in my household.

19:40

My wife prefers darker chocolate.

19:42

Right. But I really like white chocolate. And so

19:45

I was getting some white chocolate out of the cupboard last night

19:47

late at night for a little sneaky sweet treat.

19:50

And for some reason, it came into my head. I wonder

19:53

if Tim eats white chocolate or likes white chocolate

19:55

because I was thinking about podcasts and stuff. I decided

19:57

I was confident that when I mentioned white

19:59

chocolate.

19:59

Tim would say, oh no, I can't stand

20:02

white chocolate. I don't like it. Turns

20:04

out I'm wrong. Sounds like you like white chocolate.

20:08

But

20:09

my idea for a podcast is to try

20:11

and pick things that

20:13

you think the other person doesn't

20:16

like or won't like. Oh. Without

20:18

the knowledge, without the prior knowledge, which

20:20

is hard because, you know, we know a bit about each other's likes

20:23

and dislikes, but there's lots of things like

20:25

white chocolate that we don't know about. I

20:29

keep my passion, my secret passion for white

20:31

chocolate a secret. So I think it would be fun

20:33

to think of things that you just think

20:36

the other person

20:37

is not going to like. Yes. OK,

20:40

so well, look, I know this is

20:42

not the point anymore, but can I just point out I actually

20:44

am rather indifferent to regular

20:47

chocolate. So I love dark,

20:49

dark chocolate and I love white chocolate.

20:52

I hate anything in chocolate like

20:54

nuts or anything like that. It's got to be pure,

20:56

but just a normal bar of dairy milk

20:59

chocolate. I find bland. It

21:02

doesn't do it for me. Anyway, so I don't

21:04

like dark chocolate. I don't like it bitter.

21:07

I want my chocolate sweet, which is why I like

21:09

white chocolate because that's always super sweet. So

21:11

when we move into this area, that gives a bit of a hint

21:14

with you because I think if we stay in like

21:16

the culinary area, I

21:19

know there's quite a few things that you don't like. Yeah,

21:21

but things with like organic

21:24

and natural flavors, I think

21:26

are things that you don't like. Like, OK,

21:28

like what? You

21:31

know, you're not very big on.

21:33

Let's take it in turns naming things the other

21:35

person doesn't like and see who fails the most. OK,

21:38

so they've got to be specific things. OK,

21:41

so specific things. Yeah. All right.

21:43

I'm going to say you don't like mushrooms.

21:46

No, I don't mind mushrooms. Oh, I

21:48

don't. Yeah, I don't mind them.

21:50

I don't I wouldn't seek them out. Right.

21:52

They're not like, whoo, mushrooms, but I will

21:55

eat mushrooms on my plate. So you're not getting a sneaky

21:57

mushroom from the cupboard late at night for something

21:59

so.

21:59

No, I know the joke downstairs from

22:02

my stream when I gave my white chocolate, but

22:04

I don't mind, especially like I'm fried up a bit. Okay,

22:07

well, that surprises me because they're kind

22:09

of earthy and fungi and that's

22:11

not really you. That's what I mean. It wasn't

22:13

a stupid

22:15

guess, but you just happened to get

22:17

unlucky there because we eat a lot of we eat

22:19

a lot of vegetarian dinners now and mushroom

22:21

are quite often kind of the meaty replacement

22:24

in some ways. Like, you know, yeah, yeah. And I've

22:26

got I've grown to quite appreciate a

22:28

mushroom. Let me think of something I think

22:30

you won't like. Clowns? Or

22:35

am I remembering you don't like clowns? No.

22:38

Where do you stand on clowns? Have you told me you don't like

22:40

clowns? So funny that

22:42

you mentioned this. Two things. Firstly,

22:45

I am this week.

22:48

There was something on TV, but I was this week

22:50

thinking about clowns and

22:53

remembering how some people have a phobia of them

22:55

and me going, you know, that's really funny. But I

22:58

got it this week. Like, I dislike

23:00

clowns. Clowns are annoying. I

23:02

literally had that thought this week. So

23:05

that's funny you mentioned it. You may have told me

23:07

that before.

23:08

No, no, I feel like I just sort of thought

23:10

that this week. I didn't say it to anyone. But

23:13

the other thing is I was a clown. I

23:16

was a clown when I was in that

23:18

drama group when I was a teenager

23:21

and we like learned clowning

23:23

and I was

23:25

a clown. What was your clown name? You did

23:28

what you had a clown name. You told me this. What

23:30

was it? Omelette. Omelette.

23:32

Omelette. It

23:35

was even the title of the episode. Yeah. Okay.

23:39

So do you like clowns or not like clowns? They're

23:42

a bit weird. I don't dislike

23:44

them. It's not like a thing that I've always disliked

23:46

or anything like that. But I'm largely

23:48

indifferent to clowns. They're sort of the dairy milk

23:50

chocolate. They're a bit annoying. They're a bit they're

23:53

the ultimate extrovert person standing

23:55

in front of you. And that makes me sort of go, all

23:57

right, let's just bring it down a little bit. You know,

23:59

let's. if you can come up with something I don't like. All

24:01

right. So I'm going to say

24:03

watching like dancing

24:07

with the stars or is it strictly come dancing

24:09

like dancing reality

24:12

television? Yeah, I don't like that.

24:14

No. Yeah, I don't like those shows.

24:18

I have there have been periods in the

24:20

past when I have watched the odd series, you know, because

24:23

it captured the nation and I got swept up by

24:25

it. But now it's been years since I watch those.

24:28

Yeah, I don't like those. People I don't know. I'm

24:30

with you there. It astonishes me that people like

24:32

them. But dancing's been around for millennia.

24:34

So yes. All right. Let me think of something

24:36

that you won't like.

24:38

I'm trying to think how can I

24:40

like how how can I systematically

24:42

figure out something Tim doesn't like? I

24:44

think, hmm,

24:46

I'm trying to tap into your impatience because

24:49

you're impatient. Well,

24:51

hurry up with. I think of something.

24:57

But but you're but you are a little bit pretentious.

24:59

So there are things that I might think

25:02

are a bit like tedious and boring, but you would

25:04

you would like them because it sounds

25:07

like I would say hiking, for example, that takes

25:09

a lot of time and doesn't achieve much. But

25:11

I think you would quite like the idea of being

25:13

seen as someone who likes a nice hike. No,

25:16

you're wrong. I know I despise

25:19

hiking. Yeah. OK. Oh, I

25:21

was on the right track then hiking. Yeah. Yeah.

25:24

I get so bored. It's so

25:26

boring. Yeah.

25:29

I like going for a walk around a

25:31

city like I like that. I like walking. You

25:33

know, I love walking. I love going for a walk with a dog,

25:35

put in the air, you know, podcasting your ear, going for

25:37

a long, long, long walk around the city. But

25:39

if it involves if I get out of the urban

25:42

area, start switching

25:44

off.

25:45

And then if you have to buy special boots

25:47

and go and do the whole thing, you know,

25:49

with a backpack. Yeah. No, it's

25:51

not for me. Which is my it's one of my

25:53

wife's great passions. So

25:56

it's a great sadness

25:58

to her. But I guess.

25:59

So bored. Yeah. It's

26:02

terrible. I feel wrong for

26:04

that. But yeah. Anyway, I know what you

26:06

mean, though, about the pretension thing. Like, so

26:09

if you'd said something like,

26:11

you know, a slow, long

26:13

movie, you know what I mean? With slow and it'd

26:15

be like, I'll be impatient, but I'll be

26:17

like, oh, there's something

26:19

creative to try to be said here, you know.

26:21

Like, yeah.

26:24

Yeah. I'm like that with It's a

26:26

Wonderful Life, which everyone thinks is such a wonderful

26:28

movie, including you. And I tried to watch that

26:30

and I couldn't get to the end of it. I took like eight

26:32

sittings and in the end I said, nah, I've had enough.

26:35

God, that movie's tedious. You had to

26:37

get into it maybe as a kid then. I have a couple

26:39

of moments with it. I really love that movie.

26:42

And so much happens, though. That's not

26:44

a slow movie. All right. All right. Let's get out of

26:46

it. So we've done a bit of food and a bit of entertainment

26:49

and I wonder if there's something

26:51

into fashion.

26:52

I don't know. You sort

26:54

of is there something you don't like in?

26:57

Oh, hmm. What would

26:59

you like in the fashion

27:01

stakes? You pretty stylish guy, something

27:04

like that. Or car. Is there something there?

27:06

Music. Well, let me

27:09

just say classical music.

27:10

No, I like classical music.

27:12

OK. Like I don't like I don't put it on much,

27:15

but I like it. And I like instrumental

27:17

music. Like I love movie score. Oh, yeah.

27:19

Well, yeah, of course. Yeah. No, that's

27:21

a bad call for me. I'd hate jazz. Oh,

27:24

that's right. Yeah. Well, we've gone there before.

27:26

Something you don't like. I'm going to go for

27:29

mathematics. Yeah,

27:38

yeah. I don't.

27:44

I like money mathematics,

27:46

I find, because that's what I do. You know, budgeting and

27:48

all that kind of stuff. I don't mind that. And

27:51

like I said, because it feels useful and practical

27:53

to me. Yeah. Other mathematics,

27:55

I guess, because it's never been. I've never been

27:58

into it. I've never I've never been.

27:59

good at it, but that may be because I've not been patient

28:02

enough to learn it well or because my teachers

28:04

failed me or because you weren't a good enough friend

28:07

as true to me or I don't know

28:10

what it was. Let me try something else

28:12

that I'm just going to take a punt here

28:14

on something you don't like.

28:16

Yeah. Room temperature water. Just

28:20

like a tepid glass of water. Yeah,

28:22

yeah, I like cold water. Yeah, for sure.

28:25

Yeah. All right. I

28:28

can go for days and not have drunk any

28:30

water at all. It's terrible. I'll have like

28:32

coffees and stuff and yeah.

28:35

And then a gin in the evening or a wine and then

28:37

you sort of go, I don't think I've drunk

28:40

any water for 48 hours. Like it's

28:42

terrible. Yeah. But when I have it, I

28:45

like it cold and at work we have this cold

28:46

tap, special cold tap. That's good.

28:49

I like that. I always go for that. Yeah. I

28:52

thought you wouldn't go for tepid water. All right. What

28:54

about you with leather jackets?

28:56

Yeah, I don't like leather jackets or denim

28:58

jackets particularly, although I have a couple. I

29:00

don't find them comfortable. Okay.

29:04

Clothes should be, clothes should be comfortable. Denim

29:07

is not that comfortable like a fabric,

29:10

particularly on jackets. It's got to be, once it's worn

29:12

in on your jeans, but your jackets take

29:14

a lot to wear in. They don't really

29:16

wear into that.

29:17

Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, no, I

29:19

don't like leather jackets. I'm

29:24

guessing you don't like crocs. No.

29:27

Oh, no. They're

29:31

kind of Dutch, aren't they? They're kind of like clogs,

29:33

but I just think they're ugly. Yeah,

29:35

the holes and where they are in the street.

29:37

Yeah, I'm afraid they're not. And yeah,

29:40

crocs with socks. Are you a croc

29:42

man? Do you like crocs? Do you?

29:44

No. No. No,

29:46

that's all right. We have Birkenstocks. I

29:48

don't like them. Oh, you don't like Birkenstocks? No,

29:50

no. I like them.

29:53

I could go

29:56

there better because they're leather and they feel a bit more

29:58

quality and stuff. sliders

30:00

around the house. I don't like sliders,

30:03

but because we have concrete floors, my ankles get

30:05

sore unless I wear them. And they're sort of these

30:07

really nice, special, you know,

30:09

they're from a running shoe. They're like a really super

30:12

bouncy, nice rubber. And they

30:15

look pretty ugly, but I wear them every

30:17

minute I'm at home in and not in bed.

30:19

You know, that's yeah. I'm going to go.

30:22

I'm going to say you don't like chalk. Actually,

30:25

I take that back because I think that that would quite appeal

30:27

to your pretentious Indiana Jones teacher.

30:29

I

30:33

do. Yeah. No, I quite like chalk, a chalkboard.

30:36

And I've thought about doing that in the big hall here

30:38

at church where kids can just come and

30:40

draw and stuff all over it. Thought putting

30:42

some chalk paint up would be good fun,

30:44

except it's very dusty and I don't like the dusty

30:47

stuff. No, that's why I don't like it.

30:49

And the sound of chalk on a chalkboard. It's not

30:51

nice. Yeah. And it is when

30:53

you go drawing, unless you're using a little piece, it

30:55

just snaps all the time. But

30:58

I live my life with whiteboards and I

31:01

like a whiteboard to help my thinking, but

31:03

I have the world's worst whiteboard

31:06

penmanship. Just terrible. I'm

31:08

trying to think of a sport that you don't like.

31:11

And that's a hard one, isn't it? You're very sporty.

31:13

Yeah, I don't think you'll come up with one. No.

31:16

All right, Tim,

31:17

here's one. Where do you stand on hover

31:19

the domain registrar? Oh, man.

31:21

That is sponsoring this episode.

31:25

Love hover.

31:27

Hover is great. I love

31:30

them too. I love them. Tell me

31:32

what you like about them. Well,

31:34

well, they're well, they're just, I

31:37

mean, they're just delicious. Oh, hang

31:39

on. That's white chocolate. I

31:42

love hover. Hover is the obvious

31:45

place to go to simply

31:47

and quickly and efficiently and cheaply

31:50

get domains on the internet by

31:53

domain names, search through scores

31:55

of them. If you're wondering, I wonder if this domain name

31:58

is available. Bang. Go and have a look.

31:59

there it is price click. Wang. Why

32:02

go to hover though? You could go, you could go to

32:04

one of the inferior rivals. Well, like

32:06

I could, well, I don't really know anything about

32:08

them, but which one you don't know. You've just got

32:11

the one here from your old pals,

32:13

Tim and Brady recommending and going, well,

32:16

if it's good enough for Tim and Brady, it's good enough

32:18

for me.

32:19

That's the recommendation. I'll tell

32:21

you why hover is better than those other ones, because

32:23

they make it so simple and

32:26

clean and the interface

32:28

is elegant. And there's not like, it

32:30

doesn't seem like

32:31

overly technical to buy

32:33

and then to, to use it, to attach

32:35

it to things, to divert things to it, or just to sit

32:38

on it. They just like, they just make it

32:40

clean and simple and pure. Bit

32:46

like a facial, just like

32:48

a cleansing experience. Is that what you're saying? Yeah,

32:51

it is. Registering a domain with hover

32:53

is like having a facial. You

32:59

feel lighter somehow. And freer.

33:01

You got those cucumbers on your eyes

33:04

and like you can choose, like you can choose

33:06

the essential oil that you like most.

33:09

And they may, they may include a head massage

33:12

sometimes.

33:14

So if

33:16

you,

33:17

if you are in business, you definitely

33:19

should be registering domains with hover for things

33:22

related to your business. But even if you're just a normal

33:24

person going about your business, I

33:27

think it's helpful to have a few domains registered that

33:29

to do with your interests, your

33:31

name, like, you know, Bradyharan.com

33:33

is a good one to own if

33:35

you're called Bradyharan, which I am. You

33:38

are. Therefore, therefore that was a good domain

33:40

to have. Go to hover.com slash

33:42

unmade and you're going to

33:44

get 10% off any domains you register

33:47

the first time you visit hover.com

33:49

slash unmade. I have a load of domains registered

33:51

with them. Other domains I've had registered

33:53

in the past. I've been gradually moving

33:56

over to hover over the years. So they're

33:58

all in the one basket. They're all with.

33:59

with the one company that I trust

34:03

and respect and like, hover.com

34:06

slash unmade, great supporters of the show

34:08

as well. Great supporters of the show. Our

34:11

church domain is through Hover.

34:13

Any domain I have anything to do with. There you

34:15

go. That's an endorsement from God himself.

34:18

What more could you ask for? Not

34:21

strictly an endorsement from God. No, no.

34:23

No, no. No. No,

34:26

not strictly. In fact, in no way whatsoever.

34:29

But I think if God, I mean, God doesn't need

34:31

to register domains. Cause like, you know.

34:33

He owns the internet as a whole. Maybe

34:35

he's actually the one selling the domains. Like.

34:39

Yeah. Yeah.

34:40

Yeah. Yeah. But

34:42

I feel like if God was going to register a domain on

34:44

earth, he would definitely

34:46

consider Hover. I don't know what he would

34:49

choose. I can't speak for him. And

34:51

I will not pretend to, cause

34:53

something bad could happen to me. This

34:55

is, this is where I get in trouble

34:57

with my authorities. We understand you've been

34:59

using God for commercial purposes again, Tim.

35:04

Just to clarify, that was, that God

35:06

thing came purely from Brady and also

35:08

it was not true. But,

35:10

but the hover.com slash I may

35:12

thing is true. So go and check them out.

35:16

This is the point normally where we would announce some winners

35:18

of, of, you know, some

35:20

of our Patreon supporters who are going to get things like

35:23

our Australian nut leather key rings, spoon

35:25

of the week, all that good stuff. But because

35:28

of our lack of preparation, I haven't actually

35:30

fired up the computer that has the algorithm

35:33

and all the machinery in it that I need to pick

35:35

the winners. So, so no winners

35:38

in this episode, but we'll give some extra

35:40

stuff out in the next episode.

35:42

Go to patreon.com slash unmade FM

35:44

if you'd like to be in the running. But

35:46

I've got the guitar and everything. Oh, you've

35:48

got the guitar to go with it. Well,

35:53

well, Tim's got, Tim's got the guitar

35:55

that he normally strums when I read the winners. So

35:57

Tim, do you want to just.

35:59

Give us a few. What are you playing at the moment? What's your

36:02

favourite song at the moment that you've been... I

36:05

don't know that I'm playing. I've

36:07

been playing around with something that

36:10

I wrote, you know, that I keep plucking.

36:13

Really? Well, would you like to play that

36:16

to us another time maybe? No, no,

36:18

no, no, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Come

36:20

on, give us a little... Let me

36:22

name something that you hate,

36:24

my guitar playing.

36:28

No, never. Give us a little

36:30

taste. No,

36:40

that's not right. Yeah.

36:48

Anyway. There's

36:54

the strangest problem that when Tim and I record,

36:56

and I don't know what... I don't actually know why this

36:59

is yet because I will hear that guitar

37:01

playing when you send me the Audacity

37:03

file after we finish. But for some reason

37:05

I can't hear your guitar playing on Zoom.

37:08

I don't know if it's something to do with frequencies

37:11

or there's some Zoom setting that doesn't let you play

37:13

music over Zoom or what it is, but whenever you

37:15

sit there and play guitar, I can't hear

37:17

it now, but I will hear it later.

37:19

So I'll have to give you my feedback on your bit of music

37:22

later. That's probably for

37:24

the best. I'll be long gone. That's good.

37:30

Can I just say the new

37:33

leather key rings, the Unmade

37:36

key rings that you showed me last time, which

37:38

look amazing. You said you were putting in the mail. Is mine

37:40

in the mail? Like it hasn't arrived yet? No,

37:43

it won't have arrived yet. It went in the post yesterday. All

37:46

right. Okay. Okay. Yeah, I'm so

37:48

looking forward to that. That's something you can get if you're

37:50

a patron supporter. So peeps,

37:52

we want to encourage you to join up as a patron

37:54

supporter. It's the kind of thing you can get.

37:57

Oh yeah, Australian. I'm peeps looking forward to

37:59

that.

37:59

Look at that, Tim doing a bit of promotion there.

38:02

It's not like you. Yep, that's it. On

38:04

behalf of God and myself, these

38:09

are really amazing key rings. I

38:11

don't know if God needs a key ring, but if he did, he

38:13

did have the keys. What are the keys that Jesus

38:16

like fought the devil for or something? The keys

38:18

to the kingdom. If

38:20

there's a key ring for the keys to the kingdom, they

38:23

will be the Australian nut coloured,

38:25

unmade podcast leather key ring. Yeah,

38:29

that's right. Imagine that. Imagine getting to

38:30

heaven and like God walking past with the

38:32

keys to the kingdom and like they're on one

38:34

of our Australian nut leather key rings. What

38:36

an endorsement that would be. It'd

38:40

be all too late, but it will be pretty amazing. Yeah,

38:42

maybe.

38:45

Oh, should we do an Un of the Week? Oh,

38:47

that's what I was going to ask you. We haven't done yet. So

38:51

I also didn't have much time to prepare an Un of

38:53

the Week, but I will throw I will

38:55

throw you a bone if you want one. Do you want one? Yeah,

38:58

I do. Absolutely. All right, here we go

39:00

today.

39:01

It's time for Harpoon

39:04

of the Week.

39:09

Who doesn't love a good harpoon? Oh

39:11

man. Every week I look forward

39:13

to the harpoon of the week. What

39:15

is it this week, Brady? Today I

39:18

want to talk about the anchoring

39:20

harpoons on the Philae

39:22

spacecraft that landed

39:25

on a comet in 2014. This

39:29

little space probe went down, landed

39:31

on this comet, comet 67P, Cherumov

39:36

Gerasimenko. Right. That's

39:38

a catchy comet name, that one. So

39:41

it went down this little gadget

39:43

to land on this comet, which is a pretty audacious

39:46

thing to try, and it had these harpoons

39:49

that were supposed to fire. So when it landed on

39:51

the sort of rocky, gravelly, icy

39:54

comet, these harpoons were like going to fire

39:57

into the surface to keep the thing anchored

39:59

in.

39:59

place and they failed.

40:02

The harpoons failed, the space

40:04

harpoons. That they would have become like

40:07

of all the harpoons in history, they would have become

40:10

megastars,

40:11

but on the big stage, they

40:14

didn't fire. And as

40:16

a result, this spacecraft actually bounced

40:19

off the comet and went back

40:21

and then bounced a second time off

40:23

the comet and then went back down. And then

40:25

it did end up landing on the comet, not where it

40:27

was supposed to land in a bit of a less

40:30

ideal place because of the failed harpoons.

40:32

Did a bit of science, everything

40:35

ended happily except for the people who

40:37

made the harpoons. Apparently,

40:39

there were 0.3 grams of nitrocellulose

40:43

that were supposed to have something to do with

40:45

the harpoon propulsion to probably fire them out

40:47

into the rock. And

40:50

apparently,

40:50

nitrocellulose is

40:52

quite unreliable in the vacuum of space,

40:54

they learned. And that's probably

40:56

why the harpoons failed.

40:58

So not every harpoon can be

41:00

a champion and these harpoons,

41:03

you know, they let us down, they

41:06

failed, but now

41:08

they made it onto harpoon of the week. So all's

41:11

well that ends well. Can I just say the failed

41:13

harpoons is a great name for a band? I

41:16

just love it. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Nice.

41:19

The failed harpoons. Imagine

41:24

if that was the name of your band. Someone's like, why do you call yourself

41:26

that? Well, let me tell you about the Philae

41:28

spacecraft. The

41:33

failed harpoons. There's

41:35

a nice song called Harpoon actually in the rock

41:37

genre

41:38

by the band Jibidaya in Australia.

41:40

It's a nice song. And it's it's

41:42

really lovely, but it's a very like it's a sad

41:44

one. It's like, you know, I love her, but

41:47

she doesn't really like it. Starts off. This

41:49

will take some explaining, but I think you will

41:51

agree there's no use pretending there's any

41:53

hope for you and me. And he goes on

41:55

like a harpoon, like a harpoon

41:57

in my heart.

41:59

Every time I hear harpoon that song comes to

42:02

mind. Maybe that could be harpoon of the week

42:04

next time. Maybe, maybe. Yeah,

42:07

there's many, so many harpoons.

42:10

So little time. How many harpoons did

42:12

it take? Did maybe dick get killed by harpoons?

42:15

I've not read, maybe dick. No, neither have

42:17

I. And I've now said harpoon enough times that the word harpoon

42:19

seems really strange to me. Harpoon. Do

42:22

they think harpoons get called poons for

42:24

short? Pass me a poon or pass me

42:26

a harp.

42:29

Ideas for a podcast. What do you got, Tim?

42:31

All right, we've stalled long enough. It's time to

42:33

get to the crazy idea. Now, look,

42:35

I want to say

42:36

my, in the spirit of the spontaneity

42:39

of the episode, I want to say that I, I have

42:41

several different categories on my

42:44

notes, on my Apple device. And

42:47

one of them is podcast ideas, which

42:49

has been going for a long, long time. And

42:52

then another one is films to see.

42:55

And there is two

42:57

lists in here. One is called

43:00

kids and then another

43:02

one's called not kids.

43:04

And I. This is the films. There are two

43:06

lists of films that I make, films that I think of. I must

43:08

show the kids that film, but

43:11

most, and then other ones are like, I must show my wife

43:13

that film. Or we must see that film. I must

43:15

make a note. Have you, have you

43:18

seen most of these films or are they ones you haven't seen? They

43:20

are a mix. They are a mix. The ones with

43:22

not kids I've not seen. They're ones that

43:25

we should go and see. Right.

43:26

But the kids ones

43:29

are consist of films that I just

43:31

want to show them as soon as possible. But

43:33

then other films that they're not

43:35

quite ready for, but I

43:37

don't want to,

43:39

you know what I mean? Forget when

43:41

they get there. Because they're not old enough. Like, because they're a

43:43

bit more. That's right. They're slightly,

43:45

slightly beyond where they are. As we say, you

43:47

know, it's not quite for young kids

43:50

just yet. On the list, on

43:52

that list of films that your kids aren't quite

43:54

ready for. What's the one that's furthest

43:56

in the distance? Like, what's the one that they.

43:59

at least I'm ready to watch it. I'm curious

44:02

to know how advanced this gets. It's

44:05

not. It's not probably.

44:08

Hmm.

44:09

Oh, probably the film

44:12

The Power of One, which

44:15

there's a bit of violence in South Africa,

44:17

apartheid, that sort of stuff.

44:19

So.

44:20

OK, so you haven't got like Clockwork Orange on there

44:22

and stuff like that. Oh, no, it's not like that.

44:24

It's not like when they grow up. It's like for their

44:26

kids stage of life or the young

44:29

adult. I've got Donnie Darko

44:31

on there, but I actually haven't seen that myself

44:33

either. So that's that's sort of got a special

44:36

asterisk next. Oh, it's in bold. Yeah,

44:38

there's a few. Actually, there's one here that's been

44:41

tried and abandoned and that's Weekend

44:43

at Burnies. That was.

44:47

Is that because that was a little bit too sexy?

44:50

It's funny how. Yeah, there's there's

44:52

films where you remember it as all fun and endearing.

44:55

And then when you're actually watching, you're going,

44:57

oh, heck. Oh, no. All right. Look away now,

44:59

kids. All right. Look away now. Look

45:01

away. And then finally my wife's voice goes,

45:03

I think we can watch something else. Can't we? Because

45:09

there is a scene where the deceased Bernie

45:12

has relations with the lady, isn't there? Oh,

45:14

I don't think we even got that far. But

45:17

yeah, anyway, there's also here

45:20

Police Academy Two. I don't

45:22

know why I've not just written Police Academy,

45:24

but for some reason I've written Police Academy

45:26

Two when there's like eight of them. I don't want

45:29

to interrupt our own conversation here, man. But what's your

45:31

podcast idea?

45:35

I'm getting back to that. That's

45:37

the other list. I'm just I just thought I'd

45:39

be. Films. Films I want

45:41

to show my kids is a great podcast idea.

45:44

And now that I've got like a baby in one

45:46

year old, I'm already having that massive

45:48

impatience that he's not old enough to watch all the films

45:51

he needs to watch. Oh, and that's

45:53

right. So this is and there's so many cool kids

45:55

films. Obviously, the Star Wars stuff came in

45:57

pretty early and it was such a joy to show

45:59

my.

45:59

kids that, but this is your forever

46:02

thinking of something and then you're just thinking at their age

46:04

and making calculations and then it goes

46:06

on the list like, oh, that's a little bit down the track.

46:09

But there's shock alert here. For the kids.

46:11

Yeah, but it's kind of there's a kid in

46:13

it, but it's that again, that's a bit it's a bit

46:16

adulty, isn't it? The other one I've got here

46:18

is Titanic. They're too young for

46:20

Titanic.

46:21

How come? Lots of the trauma,

46:23

lots of people die, all that kind of

46:25

stuff that they won't know. Oh, yeah. Very well, not

46:28

yet. Oh, and there's a bit of Nudie Rudy and

46:30

a bit of a bit of romance in the back of a

46:32

car too, isn't there? Oh, that's right. Yeah, but

46:34

that's I mean, that's one sort of, you know, look away seeing

46:36

kids or something like that. But the

46:39

whole you might remember. Look away while dad

46:41

stares intently. Do

46:48

you might remember the ship goes

46:50

down, man, like everyone

46:51

dies pretty much. So that's. Yeah,

46:53

I guess. But they must know about the Titanic. They

46:55

must know there was a ship back in the olden days that

46:57

hit an iceberg and loads of people died. Yes,

47:00

but they also know that people get shot. But it doesn't

47:02

mean I say, hey, kids, gather around the

47:05

TV. We're going to watch someone get shot. I

47:08

guess, yeah. Something is

47:10

something different. Yeah, OK. About that. They

47:12

don't they don't. I think they deal with all that

47:14

death quite well in Titanic. Like it's not

47:17

it's not gruesome. No,

47:19

no, no, no. Look, I haven't just made this list

47:21

tonight.

47:21

This is a list that's been growing for a while. So

47:23

perhaps they're getting a bit closer to that. And you know

47:25

what I mean? And some others.

47:28

All right. So there's there's

47:30

the pursuit of happiness here, the Will Smith

47:32

movie, which I think will be kind of endearing

47:35

for them.

47:35

Father of the bride, too. We

47:38

watched Father of the Bride 1 and they really

47:40

quite like that. So I just put on that's what you're

47:42

number two. I think my wife watched Father

47:44

of the Bride the night before we got married. Oh,

47:46

really? Classic. We got

47:49

that with their girlfriends. Have they seen BMX bandits?

47:51

Yes, yes. We should revisit

47:53

that because they were pretty young when I got them into that.

47:55

Yeah, I like the idea of a podcast

47:58

about films I want to show my kids.

47:59

Is that what your idea was or? Well,

48:02

yeah, that's why I'm telling you this. Yeah. It's

48:04

sort of like things that are, I

48:06

think there's interesting, there's like where you

48:09

are now, right? With your son. There's

48:11

a massive list of stuff that you're going to show

48:13

him. And then as time goes on, there's a bit of a judgment

48:15

call about when's the right time. And

48:18

I love how I timed

48:20

Star Wars with my eldest daughter,

48:23

like perfectly, but it was a bit beyond

48:25

the youngest one. But it was so wonderful

48:28

to be sitting there watching the trilogy, the

48:30

original trilogy. And then like

48:32

when the big reveal comes with

48:35

with Empire Strikes Back with Darth Vader

48:38

and to literally be looking at her at the

48:40

moment when she goes, oh, wow.

48:43

Like, wow, that's great. The penny

48:45

just dropped in that moment. That's pretty cool.

48:47

That's a lovely little moment. But the other one's

48:49

never really gotten into it. So I sort of mistimed

48:52

and stuffed it up there. Yeah.

48:53

Indiana Jones went down well.

48:56

But you know, but we're not Temple of Doom. Temple

48:58

of Doom is too dark. So the Lost Ark's

49:00

got some pretty full on stuff in it for kids.

49:03

You showed them that. Yeah. Yeah. We watched Raiders.

49:05

Yep.

49:06

That was all right. I asked the littlest one

49:08

to look away right at the end, you know,

49:10

with the scene where their faces fall apart

49:13

and stuff. What about at the start where the guy

49:15

gets

49:16

spikes through him? You know, he takes

49:18

the idol from Indiana Jones and then a few seconds later,

49:20

Indiana finds him and he's like triggered

49:22

the spikes and he's been killed. That's quite graphic.

49:25

No, that's all fine. This is the second

49:28

episode in a row that we're talking about that scene

49:30

in Raiders of the Lost Ark. What

49:33

about the guy getting done

49:35

by the propeller, getting chopped up by the propeller

49:37

when he's having the boxing match with Indiana? No, that's

49:39

cool. I like that. That was like that was

49:41

all sort of odd. Oh, maybe I asked

49:43

the little one to turn away for that. And yet you can

49:46

you won't let

49:46

them watch Titanic where a few people get

49:49

die in icy water. It's the big story

49:51

of Titanic. It's it's all about that.

49:53

It's a slow moving train wreck. Well,

49:56

to use a metaphor that's not quite as bad as a slow

49:59

moving. ship of sinking

50:02

but maybe it's time to test out test

50:05

out Titanic. No no no don't let me

50:07

trauma don't let me make your kids scared of you

50:09

know sea travel forever because Brady rushed Titanic

50:12

but

50:12

do you have a movie from your childhood

50:15

or you know your younger times that you just think

50:17

is incredible that your wife completely

50:20

hates and it's like a sticking point between

50:22

you.

50:22

Look it is like that with the with

50:24

the Star Wars trilogy not that I

50:27

sit around amazed at the Star Wars trilogy

50:29

now but she has total

50:31

and utter disinterest and in

50:33

the you know what so ever so

50:36

that's I sort of go I don't even want to watch it

50:38

you know kind of with the kids and no

50:40

no she's not it's like that's my job so. I'll

50:44

tell you to we have two movies while

50:46

you think about it that one of them is

50:48

if one of them is a film that is like actually

50:50

not a very good film but I quite liked it

50:52

and she hates it. So big so it's

50:54

a bit of a joke how we have different opinions on it and

50:57

that is meet Joe black with Brad

50:59

Pitt. Oh yeah I quite like it yeah. I

51:01

like that but she doesn't but the other one that

51:03

I love and I can't believe she doesn't

51:06

is the princess bride. Oh

51:08

right okay because that seems like a film

51:10

like everyone grew up with everyone loves and where

51:13

similar ages and I just thought she would have grown up with

51:15

that and loved it like me. I don't think she

51:17

bonded with it as a kid and I didn't see

51:19

until she was an adult and she doesn't she doesn't

51:21

get it she doesn't get

51:22

why everyone loves it and I just think it's like just fantastic.

51:25

I didn't bond with it as a child you

51:28

showed it to me the first time I'm with teenagers but

51:30

I guess I was younger I like I loved it like I

51:32

was really enjoying it and really really loving it

51:35

and laughing with it. And so I can

51:37

see the value of it it's not a heart movie

51:39

though for me in the same way that it is for you.

51:42

And that like

51:44

I like the black stallion for

51:46

me was when I was a really little kid but even

51:48

I've watched that later and got a bit bored with it. Did

51:51

you show your kids the princess bro. Oh yeah no

51:53

they've seen that multiple times they love no

51:55

they love it yeah they love it for sure. These

51:58

are the challenges of relationships.

52:00

What do you have ever you got any kind

52:02

of you just got a mental list prepared

52:04

or have you got a view nah nah nah. No

52:08

I don't I mean I'm not a big preparer and list maker

52:11

anyway the best of time so I certainly haven't

52:13

done that.

52:14

But I really hope he gets into star

52:16

wars cuz I've been buying up a

52:18

lot of star wars lego sets and I have

52:21

them all in storage and there's no way I'm gonna make

52:23

I haven't got time. So

52:25

I'm imagining as we've discussed

52:27

before I'm hoping for that day where I'd like open

52:29

up the storage locker and say look at all of this. But

52:32

if he watches the star wars movies and doesn't

52:34

like them then all the stuff was like I

52:36

was gonna be like it's gonna be a lot less of a treasure

52:38

trove for him. I mean they are kids movies

52:40

so if he's gonna watch him as a kid is gonna like

52:43

them no one ever as a kid goes.

52:46

You know if you don't get it as a kid you can

52:48

reject it as an adult but you know I'm presuming

52:50

you're not going to wait that long you know how

52:52

we sent through a birthday gift the other day and a

52:54

little card for your

52:56

son. Yeah I did have the thought

52:59

of somehow

53:00

through a gift in future years smuggling

53:03

a secret message to him about your

53:05

massive Lego stash like

53:08

somehow you know hiding it inside

53:11

a toy or writing it underneath

53:13

you know what I mean somewhere. So that when he opens it

53:15

up later on playing one day and it suddenly says

53:18

ask your dad about his massive

53:20

Lego stash or something. Somebody

53:23

comes and getting through a secret message.

53:25

I mean I don't know how long I'm gonna keep it a secret from

53:27

him I don't think I'm gonna be able to keep it a secret

53:30

for too long.

53:30

Too excited about it if you could get

53:32

the tone right I don't know how you do it

53:34

but part of the beauty of this idea

53:37

also is discussing your kids like.

53:40

Why you think they're ready for why they're

53:42

not ready for like that's quite that's quite interesting

53:44

in itself like you know it'd be hard to get

53:46

right because you gotta respect the privacy and stuff

53:48

like that. And you know but

53:51

if it was if it was done right it is interesting

53:53

to discuss why you think the kids

53:55

aren't ready for this one yet what is it about that

53:58

film what is it about the film that does make.

53:59

them ready now what's happening in their life that

54:02

you think okay now they're ready

54:04

for this film because this has happened in their life and

54:06

I want them to understand this and these lessons

54:08

they'll learn and it's quite a.

54:11

It's quite an interesting interesting topic. It

54:13

is particularly because their passions and interests

54:15

are so different so they're really like

54:17

one sense of humor doesn't match the other

54:19

one and. But one likes to watch shows

54:22

that matches the sense of humor of the other one but

54:24

for that one they don't like it so much. It's

54:26

really it's it's hard to predict but

54:28

you get a feel after a while I can't

54:30

that's the thing and it's it's connected to I

54:33

because we were watching that together on that day

54:35

when they were sick and maybe it goes from there

54:38

so there's all sorts of reasons why they end up with

54:40

the interests. They're

54:41

so fascinating they just wonderful

54:43

I just love them so much. They're

54:45

amazing machines they're amazing machines.

54:49

Well

54:50

this is normally the point where I would say

54:52

did you remember the secret words but

54:54

you've done it. I feel so on

54:56

top of the world. Yeah job done so

54:59

good.
