S1: A listener production.
S2: Welcome. This is our remembering project.
S3: Yep. We're a random day of the year is selected,
S3: and we look up the run sheets from all our
S3: shows from across the years to find any we did
S3: on that day.
S2: Over 20 years. That's about 2500 shows and roughly 26,000
S2: talk breaks. Today we pick one one talk break only
S2: and try to remember what happened based on what was
S2: written down on the run sheet from that day.
S3: As always, we've got podcast Mike with us here for
S3: any technical stuff.
S2: Hello, Mike, what date was randomly chosen today?
S4: It's the 1st of October.
S3: Okay, that's Andy's go then let's kick it off and
S3: find out what years Andy will take us back to,
S3: and we'll see if we remember anything from those years.
S1: This is Hamish and Andy's Remembering Project A.
S2: Few fun things for us to reminisce about today, but
S2: one I wanted to get off our slate early so
S2: we can go to the fun stuff because this is
S2: going to be awkward. 2007 Adrian Grenier on the show.
S3: Oh yeah. On entourage or something.
S2: Yes, from entourage. He comes on on Monday after the
S2: snubbing on the Sunday night that. Oh so he was
S2: on Rove with us.
S3: I don't I remember something vaguely happening.
S2: So what happened after Rove on Sunday night? He was
S2: I remember him being a bit too cool for school
S2: on Rove.
S3: Yeah, but I remember I didn't I just didn't care enough.
S2: No. And so but then he came up to he
S2: saw our bit and came up to us after Rove.
S2: And we may have mentioned this before on our own project,
S2: but he said, are you guys going out? And I
S2: didn't really feel the need to hang out.
S3: With Sunday night. And we very sometimes we would go
S3: out after Rove, but not not often.
S2: I was going out, but I told him I wasn't
S2: going out.
S3: That's what happened. And did we see him? Do we
S3: go to the European?
S2: Yes. And so we said we weren't going out.
S3: Yeah, we did go out.
S2: We went with Daniel Johns, who was married to Nelly
S2: and Brewer at the time. Yeah. And Silverchair and a
S2: bunch of others. And we all went we.
S3: Did go.
S2: Out. We all went out up to the supper club,
S2: and we told him we weren't going out because we
S2: didn't want to spend the night just hanging with him.
S2: We didn't really know. That was kind of.
S3: Which is fair enough.
S2: Yeah, it.
S4: Was Daniel Johns on Rove that night as well. Yes. Oh,
S4: so you went out with everyone on Rove that night?
S3: A couple of the camera guys. 20 or so people
S3: from the audience.
S2: I just I didn't just didn't like his vibe.
S3: Yeah. He genuinely someone I remember as we.
S2: Didn't.
S3: Like people like that always sort of put Andy off
S3: a bit. We were just like, nah, you're out here,
S3: you're in Australia. Don't be too cool for school.
S2: Here's the part I remember whether it went down like this.
S2: This is the way I remember it. He was on Rove.
S2: He didn't go to the AFL grand final. Um, he
S2: got invited to it, which was like on the Saturday,
S2: I think.
S3: So to punish.
S2: Him. And Rove went to him. You didn't go to
S2: the AFL. You were invited. You didn't go to didn't
S2: go to the AFL Grand Final. It's like, yeah, it
S2: wasn't interested. And Rove said, yeah, it's like if I
S2: got invited to the Super Bowl and didn't go, and
S2: he said you'd never be invited to the Super Bowl.
S4: And I said.
S3: Well, you really you have a great memory for this stuff.
S2: And that's my recollection of it. I remember Rove just
S2: being like, oh, um, and it wasn't like in a ribbing.
S2: We've been having fun type way. And it was true.
S2: He probably wouldn't be invited to the Super Bowl, but
S2: I was like, oh, that's not lovely to the host.
S2: And probably is a small sign.
S3: So to punish him for his bad manners and he
S3: was like, I'm gonna not.
S2: He said, are you going? And I said, I don't
S2: think we are. No, that was so that was it's
S2: not like you can't come out. I was like, I
S2: don't think I am.
S3: Yeah, not with you.
S2: Then when I arrived at the venue, he arrived at
S2: the same time and I saw him at the front
S2: and he goes, I thought you weren't coming out. And
S2: I went.
S3: I'm not Andy.
S2: I've changed. I've changed my mind.
S3: I live here, this is my house.
S2: So we then had to go up the stairs together.
S2: And so then we got in on Monday and I
S2: said to you, Ham, sorry, had this exchange with Adrian
S2: Grenier last night. He is coming on the show this afternoon.
S2: Do you think we should mention it? I can't remember
S2: what we do. My guess is you were. Yeah. Let's
S2: just bring it up and we'll have a laugh about it.
S3: That would be my norm. That would be my instinct.
S3: But also that would be my instinct. Current days. Maybe
S3: in 2007. We were too nervous to do that.
S5: I feel like we did.
S2: And he wasn't ready to have a laugh about it.
S3: Of course not. And but what evidence do we have
S3: that he wants to have a laugh about anything at
S3: that stage? He did seem low on laughs.
S2: That's true. So, um, Marty, you've heard it. Have I
S2: given it the right run up?
S4: Yeah, you do bring it up. I also get the
S4: sense that when he's coming during the song, he hasn't
S4: liked the brand of pop starlet we were playing and
S4: has told you during the song. Here's the song you
S4: should be playing. And it's a very awkward start.
S3: Right? Yes. Yeah. Well, you'd never get invited to the
S3: music meetings, mate.
S2: So here we go.
S4: The 1st of October, 2007.
S2: Joining us in the studio. Adrian. Adrian Grenier. Of course,
S2: of entourage, which is on, uh, on arena TV on
S2: Foxtel Tuesdays, 930.
S6: Season four starting. It is only on Foxtel on Arena.
S6: But Adrian, thanks for joining us, man. Are you going
S6: through your iPod?
S2: Okay. Here's a song.
S6: This is played through.
S2: So what song is this.
S7: That loud enough? Yeah.
S6: Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to Adrian Grenier's iPod
S6: held up to the microphone.
S2: What are we listening to?
S6: You would have requested.
S7: Freedom of 76 by Ween.
S2: Beautiful. I think we've done that.
S7: All right, thank you.
S6: Everybody give it up for Wayne. Welcome. Appearing very rarely
S6: on the show.
S2: Welcome, mate.
S6: Look, Adrian, last night, obviously, you're on Rove. You did
S6: a terrific job. Uh, on Rove, it was a lot
S6: of fun. We were on Rove last night as well,
S6: and Andy doesn't. Andy doesn't want me to bring this
S6: up because after the show, you know, you said, guys,
S6: what are you up to? And we said, quite honestly,
S6: we got to go home and pack because in two
S6: days time we're we're driving across Australia in a caravan.
S7: You're avoiding me I understand. I got it.
S6: Well, here's the thing. We I, I thought we were
S6: going home to pack. And then I find out that
S6: someone twisted his arm and he did go out afterwards,
S6: and he ran into you. And that's very awkward, because
S6: what that says, what that says is that Hamish and Andy,
S6: the show are liars, right? Because Andy's an ambassador of
S6: the show. I just want to clear up today. Yeah,
S6: it's just Andy the liar. No, no. And Hamish is
S6: the good guy who did go home and pack.
S7: You know what's funny is when I left you guys
S7: from the Rove show, I said, you know what, nice guys.
S7: And then when I saw you, I said, what? Jerks.
S6: See, that's what I want to clear up. Just the
S6: s on the end of jerks. What jerk is fine,
S6: but definitely not me. I was the good guy that
S6: went home and packed.
S2: Adrian, mate, thanks for coming in. It's all we've got
S2: time for. But look, Irina, of course, on Tuesday nights 930. Entourage.
S2: Season four is beginning.
S7: Yes.
S6: Right on. Beautiful. Thanks for coming, mate.
S3: I'm actually just indicated there that he had edited that down,
S3: because otherwise, that would have been far more awkward than.
S3: Are you going out? Let's not go out thing. Anyway,
S3: so we've established that, um.
S2: We're not one of us.
S3: Is very, very keen to throw Eddie under the bus. Andy,
S3: have you got something to say? Yes, I do. Thanks
S3: for coming in. Yeah, but that's so funny that he.
S3: I mean, it was always a weird energy to deal
S3: with when someone's like.
S2: It's funny when you listen to these things back, it's
S2: so much.
S3: It's totally.
S2: Fine. Totally fine compared to what I would have been
S2: feeling at the time, which is like, I feel really
S2: bad for this, that we had this awful vibe, but
S2: it's not that bad.
S3: It's not that.
S2: Bad at all. It's actually kind of nice to listen
S2: back to those things. Sometimes you're like.
S3: Oh, and now with a bit of perspective on it,
S3: you go like, think about his life, right? He's in
S3: a big show in America. In LA, like Australia must
S3: seem like a like a very like it was weird
S3: for our, you know, we were like, oh, this isn't
S3: normal for someone to come in and go, you should
S3: be playing this song. But probably in his world, it's
S3: a very normal thing to do. Yeah, and we were
S3: just freaking out because it was a bit outside. The usual,
S3: the usual.
S2: Particularly that kind of. We're in our first years, I
S2: always I hear us in kind of 2006 and 2007
S2: with this urgency of everything has to be good. Like,
S2: can we can we just get to the relief of
S2: the song? I'm glad we got that one out of
S2: the way. 2015 Drew Barrymore and Toni Collette were on
S2: the show. Yeah, I miss you.
S3: Already know you might not. I remember you.
S2: Are the part. The part. Neither do I, but the
S2: part that I remember about this is sometimes you get
S2: a good bounce from a Hollywood star.
S3: Yeah.
S2: And we got one with Drew Barrymore. Yeah. Obviously, Toni
S2: Collette being Australian kind of knew who we were. So
S2: you were looking for anything to soften? Just the mood.
S2: Give you one little point of contact before a big
S2: guest comes in. And there was billboards of us on
S2: the way from the airport, and she'd seen a billboard
S2: of us.
S3: We would get a billboard for like four weeks a year.
S2: Exactly. And she said, I remember walking. Oh my God,
S2: I saw you guys on the billboard. And you go, great. She.
S3: And we've seen you on a billboard, Drew Barrymore.
S2: And it's that really I'm not sure. You probably didn't
S2: feel the same, but I always felt like this little
S2: bit of relief of, like, she at least knows that
S2: the show might be something.
S3: Or were you always worried that an American star like
S3: Grenier is just going to turn around and go, what
S3: am I doing here? Yeah, like, what am I, where
S3: am I? What are these guys doing? Because quite often
S3: we're sitting there in our underpants. If it was a
S3: Friday as like quite young guys going, we don't really
S3: know what we're doing here.
S2: Yeah. So I remember the relief, which you said, it's like, okay,
S2: at least there's like a point that you can hang
S2: on to. 2008 A band called Metro Station was on.
S2: Do you remember.
S3: Them?
S2: Do you remember them?
S3: I reckon I do, because it Because wasn't one of
S3: them sat on a box and drummed on it, correct?
S3: Because when they played the song. But isn't it Billy
S3: Ray Cyrus son, like Miley's brother is in it? Yeah,
S3: this is incredible for me because I always I always go, yeah,
S3: I always go, Cyrus. Wow. What happened to that guy? Because, like, Miley.
S2: And he was really lovely and energetic and they gave them.
S3: All the time.
S2: We were.
S3: Like. We were like, I think these guys are going
S3: to be great.
S2: Exactly. I was thinking, sometimes you have people come in
S2: and you go, nah, this one was like, metro station.
S2: They're going to be around forever. Can you remember this song?
S3: All I remember is all I remember is he sat on.
S3: What's that thing you sit on and drum? It's a
S3: special box cocoon. Its called a cocoon. Yeah. I remember
S3: sitting him because they played like an acoustic version, but
S3: he sits. It's like a wooden box you sit on
S3: and you tap it with your fingers and it gives
S3: you kind of like a drum beat. Yeah. And I'll
S3: just be really honest, because that's what this show is about.
S3: I have actually thought several times in my life I
S3: should buy one of one of those boxes. I think
S3: I would play that pretty well because I remember watching
S3: him at the time going, ah, that's my level. Yeah,
S3: I love a box. Can I drum along to songs
S3: all the time? And here's a special box that's built
S3: to just tap your fingers on to drum along. So
S3: that's why I remember it so fondly.
S2: I think the song from.
S3: Know Something About Cake. Cake by the ocean. No, that's
S3: Joe Jonas.
S2: Joe Jonas.
S4: I know the.
S2: Song. It's still a it's still a family based band also.
S3: So was there something about being on the ocean?
S2: No. When you said cake, you were close, I reckon, because.
S2: Isn't it. Isn't it?
S4: Shake it, shake it.
S8: Shake, shake, shake it. Yeah. Shake, shake by the ocean.
S2: I just thought we should play 20s of it. To
S2: remember the box.
S3: Yeah. Listen for the box.
S9: You've fallen in love. Let me go now. Sign me up.
S9: Here we go now. Does it like this when you
S9: do it like that? It's like this when you touch
S9: her right back. If she moves like this. Will you
S9: move it like that? Come on. Where's the box? Where's
S9: the box? There it is. Shake shake shake shake shake
S9: shake shake shake shake shake shake shake.
S3: Yeah. There's box in there. Is there? There's a box.
S2: He's playing a.
S3: Lot of box. The trained ear can hear it. The
S3: percussionist's ear can hear it. It's lower beat than I
S3: remember it being. It's. Yeah. It's good. She's just nodding
S3: away going. You got it, mate.
S2: Funny you talk about buying a box there because it's
S2: the exact same show that you had your kangaroo boots on,
S2: trying to prove that you could jump higher than a grandpa.
S3: Another great purchase.
S2: We won't listen to that. But the late, great Peter Harvey,
S2: who was a mentor of ours, he was a legend.
S2: He was on the radio station.
S3: The chairman of the parent company that owned the radio station.
S3: So a very high up, lovely individual.
S2: Took time out of an executive meeting to come down
S2: and leap.
S3: Came to the rooftop. And I think Harvey's was 80
S3: plus or around, let's say around about 80 at the time,
S3: maybe late 70s. And in his suit, total legend. Just
S3: give it his all like focus on the just focus
S3: on the box.
S2: We had what looked like a small I think we had.
S3: It was a crash mat.
S2: Yeah. Crashed. But I think we had a look what
S2: looked like a low bar from a high jump. Like
S2: I think he had to jump over.
S3: Oh yeah, maybe he did, but it was sort of
S3: like a, it was like the kind of box you
S3: might get six bottles of wine in a small wine box.
S3: And he leapt over it with ease and hands in
S3: the air, pumped. His fist was so excited, and I
S3: don't think I could clear it on the kangaroo boot.
S2: You couldn't clear it. It was proving that the boots
S2: that were meant to give you extreme bounce couldn't out
S2: leap a grandpa.
S3: Be honest though, I was not bad in those boots.
S2: You're not bad. They were bad. Yeah, the design of
S2: the boots were bad. I'll cop that you were. You
S2: were bad. Here, I want to take us back to 2005.
S2: So this is before drive show Saturday morning.
S3: Show him the dark recesses of our career.
S2: It said interview with Nicky Hilton and Kimberly.
S3: Who's Kimberly?
S2: Exactly what I thought. What are you thinking, Mike?
S4: Is it Kim Kardashian? It isn't.
S8: Oh.
S4: This would be.
S3: Although we did have Kim Kardashian on the show. She
S3: came in to promote Pepsi one day, came into the studio.
S2: And we were like, we're not having Kim Kardashian. We
S2: don't know who.
S3: She's a flash in the pan. And then and she
S3: was taking pictures of herself in there and it was
S3: like we were like.
S2: Whoa, yeah. And we were.
S3: We'd never seen anyone take a selfie. We're like, get
S3: over yourself. And then we were. Then we heard that
S3: she was getting paid $20,000 to talk about Pepsi on Twitter.
S3: We're like, that's fake. There's no way anyone in the
S3: world would get that much money to promote something on
S3: social media. Wrong. It was our first step.
S2: To being knowing that we're kind of old and out
S2: of touch, because we got asked to reconsider several times
S2: from our producers, and then upper management. Can you please
S2: have Kim Kardashian on? I think she registers with the
S2: young people and we're like, oh.
S3: No one likes this. She's just not a name.
S8: And here she.
S2: Came. Um, it was Kimberly Stewart. Rod. Rod Stewart's daughter,
S2: Nicky Hilton. There's no way you remember what they're out for.
S3: Good luck. Was it not? They didn't do the good life. Do.
S2: That was another one where they've come out for another brand.
S3: Oh, it was a brand. Yeah. So Nicky Hilton and
S3: Rod Stewart's daughter, Kimberly Stewart.
S2: And what I think is going to happen is 2005.
S2: We're going to be flirting. We're going to be. I feel.
S3: Like there's no two ways about.
S2: It.
S3: I mean, there's no chance I'll hear myself playing it
S3: cool in any way. I couldn't even play it cool
S3: being on air with you. Like, I'm just too excited
S3: and bumbling everywhere.
S2: Yeah. So that's what I'm. I'm nervous to listen back
S2: to this. Yeah. But I think you've.
S3: Got you've I mean, you're in charge of choosing them.
S3: Good on you for making us face our demons. But
S3: before we before we get to that, we're going to
S3: take a quick break.
S2: Then we'll get to it.
S3: Wonderfully said. Let's see what we've got.
S2: Marshy. Tell us what they're out for. What? What brand
S2: were they out for?
S4: Uh holeproof. Pants. Pants.
S3: Oh, okay. So I didn't even know that was an
S3: international brand. I always thought that was an Aussie brand.
S2: It probably.
S4: Was. I think it was.
S2: Back then.
S4: They were doing a model search for a new.
S3: Model ant's pants person.
S2: Okay, right. All right, good luck.
S8: Ham.
S4: The 1st of October, 2005.
S10: The time is on your Saturday morning.
S6: Well, it was very exciting because during the week, Andy
S6: and I grabbed ourselves a little recording machine. A couple
S6: of mikes drove out to.
S2: A shopping camp.
S6: Which will remain secret location will remain secret, and then
S6: a couple of young girls from America. It was Nicky
S6: Hilton and Kimberly Stewart. This is what they had to say. Well, guys,
S6: we're here at the back of a shopping center. This
S6: is probably the most glamorous place we've ever conducted an interview.
S6: you welcome Kimberly Stewart and Nicky Hilton.
S8: Hi.
S6: So you guys are out here doing a fancy pants thing.
S6: Do you get into the underpants at all yourselves? Looking
S6: for the it girl or do you just judge?
S11: Um, we were just here to judge, to find the
S11: new girl that will be doing the commercial with us
S11: this weekend.
S10: What I find interesting is you're judging for the girl
S10: that can party the hardest. How it said that. It
S10: said that on the press release.
S12: No, it did not.
S10: It did. It said who's got the the stamina to
S10: party hard.
S12: No, she has to be fun. But she doesn't have
S12: to party the hardest.
S6: Are you going to show her a bit of a
S6: good time?
S12: Yeah. She'll have fun with us.
S10: Well, okay. If it was a party off between you
S10: two and, say, Paris and Nicole Richie, who would win
S10: the party off?
S11: Um, I think Paris might win.
S12: Paris would win all of us under the table.
S6: Really? Just by herself. She beat both of you.
S12: All three of us.
S6: Can I just ask your. What is that called, a
S6: BlackBerry or something like sidekick? Your little sidekick thing. It's
S6: like a little portable email thing. Yeah, it's jewel encrusted.
S12: Yes it is.
S6: That's amazing. Is it expensive or is it. Are they like,
S6: fake jewels? Did you do it yourself?
S12: They sent it to you.
S11: Whiskey crystals.
S6: They're crystals.
S11: But mine has like ten left because I always drop
S11: it every second.
S2: Do people cash in on that and come and grab
S2: your little crystals?
S11: Um, no, not that I know of.
S6: Has anyone ever done that to you guys? Like, run
S6: up and grab something and sold it and gone. Oh, wow.
S6: Kimberly Stewart touched this.
S11: Not that I know of.
S2: We'll be the first. Give me that one question I
S2: wanted to ask. Like the winner of this, this thing
S2: gets to be in an ad with you guys. What's
S2: she going to be doing? Are you guys sure you
S2: don't want to let her, you know, steal the limelight? Um,
S2: is she an ant?
S12: Yeah. She's an she's an ant eater.
S2: So, I mean, what's what's her.
S8: Role?
S12: Her role is to just be with us and look
S12: pretty and hang out with us.
S6: Isn't that your job as well?
S12: Yeah.
S11: Job to make the clothes look good.
S2: That's true. You do a very good job of that. Now,
S2: I noticed that there was no guys out there. A
S2: bit sexist.
S12: No, there was guys.
S11: Some dudes.
S2: But they can compete to be in the film.
S11: Oh, no. I think they were just coming to check
S11: out the models. I don't think they think they didn't
S11: actually enter.
S12: The same reason you guys are here.
S2: No, I didn't look. Well, as soon as they were
S2: in Andy's, my Hamish had his hand over my face.
S6: I don't want it. He doesn't need to see that.
S8: It's.
S6: He gets all excited and have to buy him an
S6: ice cream. And you know how it is at shopping
S6: centres with.
S12: Kids to the zoo.
S6: Exactly, exactly. Now, how tall are you?
S12: Five. Ten.
S6: That's pretty tall, cos you're sort of like on our
S6: height with heels on.
S12: Yeah. Yeah. How tall are you?
S6: I don't want to brag, but. Six four.
S2: I'm seven eight.
S8: I'm.
S2: I do lie around gorgeous girls and I get nervous
S2: in social situations.
S6: So we're also jet fighter pilots. Jesus, you guys look
S6: terrific wherever you go. And, you know, we see you
S6: guys a lot in magazines and stuff. How long does
S6: it take to get ready?
S11: I actually take really fast. I probably take like, 25
S11: minutes to get ready. I'm very easy.
S12: Yeah, I'm 20 minutes.
S6: Oh, 20 bit better.
S8: Yeah, a little.
S6: Bit better than.
S8: Nikki. Two and a half winning.
S2: It's turned into an auction. Do I hear 17?
S8: 17.
S6: If you struggled, could you do Ten.
S8: Kimberly.
S6: One. Nicky's. One Nicky has one with one.
S8: It takes one minute.
S6: Well, guys, you look stunning. Thanks for coming to Australia.
S6: Thanks for.
S8: Joining.
S12: Us. For having us.
S11: Bye, guys.
S8: Bye.
