WEBVTT - 2024 Ep 263 - ConCon is Coming 0:00:02.450 --> 0:00:04.370 A listener production. 0:00:07.460 --> 0:00:13.010 Activate your internet because the Hamish and Andy podcast starts 0:00:13.010 --> 0:00:16.100 in three two. 0:00:17.690 --> 0:00:21.560 Sorry. Still buffering. One. 0:00:23.660 --> 0:00:28.460 Ahoy to me! Sid. Hamish. Hello? Yes, I we could 0:00:28.460 --> 0:00:31.580 be in a band, but Sid says good morning. Ahoy 0:00:31.580 --> 0:00:33.229 to me, Milly. Jack. 0:00:33.260 --> 0:00:35.839 I know what we are. I reckon one of the 0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:39.350 rare times Jack's come over the top of good Jack. 0:00:39.530 --> 0:00:40.790 Are we from a comic strip? 0:00:40.820 --> 0:00:44.240 No. Andy's going to be Olly. He's got me like 0:00:44.330 --> 0:00:46.190 I can't remember who's who. But we are. 0:00:46.190 --> 0:00:48.440 Mascots. Mascots? Yeah. The Olympic mascots. 0:00:48.470 --> 0:00:53.360 The Sydney 2000 Olympic mascots. Sid, Hamish the platypus, of course. 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:58.430 Named after Sydney. Milly the echidna, named after millennium, I think. 0:00:58.460 --> 0:01:01.500 And Ollie named after the Olympics. 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.980 That was Ollie. Just a torch. Kookaburra. Yeah. 0:01:06.660 --> 0:01:09.059 That would have been really disappointing for you guys. Have 0:01:09.420 --> 0:01:11.340 going to be a platypus and echidna. And I'm just 0:01:11.340 --> 0:01:12.600 a torch that hangs around a. 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:14.850 Torch, man. Stranger things have happened in the world of 0:01:14.850 --> 0:01:15.990 mascots for the games. 0:01:15.990 --> 0:01:18.990 That's true. Um, ahoy! Also to Tara, who's in the 0:01:18.990 --> 0:01:21.119 Czech Republic who used the very easy to use system 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:22.529 Hamish Net.com to tell us what she's. 0:01:22.530 --> 0:01:23.369 Been up to. 0:01:23.850 --> 0:01:28.260 Ahoy, boys. This is Tara from the Czech Republic. Just 0:01:28.260 --> 0:01:34.050 checking in. Um, so I have to admit, the summer 0:01:34.050 --> 0:01:40.080 break of 2022, I believe it was. I accidentally checked 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.630 out a little bit too long for that break and 0:01:42.630 --> 0:01:45.600 have only just checked back in. Time got away from me, 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:49.350 but I've come back now, and Hamish is playing golf, 0:01:49.350 --> 0:01:52.590 which is shocking. So I realized I have to go 0:01:52.590 --> 0:01:56.460 back to where I accidentally took my break too long. 0:01:56.460 --> 0:01:58.540 So going in the past to go forward. But I 0:01:58.570 --> 0:01:59.560 am ashamed of you. 0:02:01.420 --> 0:02:02.590 Why do you get to Jack? 0:02:02.890 --> 0:02:04.870 Yeah, yeah. You'll really be shocked. 0:02:04.900 --> 0:02:06.340 That would be. 0:02:07.030 --> 0:02:09.580 A strange flash forward, wouldn't it? 0:02:09.580 --> 0:02:13.000 But I, I totally agree with once you're out of 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.070 one podcast and it takes a break or it takes 0:02:15.100 --> 0:02:18.309 a little hiatus, you just gets out of your system 0:02:18.310 --> 0:02:19.720 and you can not come back for years. 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:20.290 We don't recommend. 0:02:20.290 --> 0:02:22.780 That. There are there are, there are podcasts sitting in my, 0:02:22.810 --> 0:02:26.170 you know, podcast app. And you go objectively, the people 0:02:26.169 --> 0:02:30.070 that host these podcasts are heroes of mine. Yes. But 0:02:30.070 --> 0:02:34.210 I can't be bothered to go back so much. 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.340 And actually, the more episodes they put out that you 0:02:36.340 --> 0:02:38.620 don't hear, you're like, wow, it's so much to catch. 0:02:38.620 --> 0:02:40.570 Up on, you know, especially someone like me. I got 0:02:40.570 --> 0:02:42.190 no time to do that. I'm already trying to save 0:02:42.190 --> 0:02:43.960 as much time as I can, being fast and loose, 0:02:43.990 --> 0:02:45.370 so I just want anyone to know if they are 0:02:45.370 --> 0:02:47.350 back in or they've dipped back in. No hard feelings 0:02:47.350 --> 0:02:49.330 from us. Oh no, not at all. And if you 0:02:49.330 --> 0:02:51.490 are listening to this, we appreciate it. 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.400 We hate the government mandated break, but one of its 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:58.680 benefits is allowing people to catch up, like Repecharge in 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:01.140 Mario Kart, where you've accidentally left the control because sticky 0:03:01.139 --> 0:03:03.660 Controller and you smash against the wall for too long. 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:05.310 We allow people to get back in. 0:03:05.340 --> 0:03:07.980 The game will go faster if you're behind the Mario Kart. Yes, 0:03:08.010 --> 0:03:11.100 and in even in more modern iterations of the game. 0:03:11.100 --> 0:03:14.460 For those that play it on switch, um, I can 0:03:14.460 --> 0:03:16.620 see Radiomic just leaping at the window trying to get 0:03:16.620 --> 0:03:21.360 into the studio. Talking about Nintendo. Um, of course, you know, 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.570 you can only get the good powers if you're lagging behind. Yes. Um. 0:03:24.570 --> 0:03:27.720 You can't you don't get diddly shit. If you're up front, 0:03:27.750 --> 0:03:30.510 you get. You get a coin or a green shell, 0:03:30.510 --> 0:03:31.350 if you're lucky. Yeah. 0:03:31.380 --> 0:03:33.360 They don't even bother going over them. 0:03:33.690 --> 0:03:34.590 Useless. Useless. 0:03:35.010 --> 0:03:41.190 I would say, um. Ehm. What a response to con con. Yes. 0:03:41.220 --> 0:03:42.930 Now I didn't I haven't gone back and listened to 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:46.200 what we said last week, so I know we were 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.390 fishing in the. Well, I was about to say fishing 0:03:48.390 --> 0:03:51.720 in the wind, which is a terrible way to fish. Um, 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:53.470 fish in the water. 0:03:53.530 --> 0:03:54.910 You can get a bird, I suppose. 0:03:56.410 --> 0:03:58.270 Although I think fishing in the water is meant to 0:03:58.300 --> 0:04:01.780 be better on windy days. Don't the fish? Don't fishermen 0:04:01.780 --> 0:04:04.630 get excited about windy days? Brings the fish to the surface? 0:04:04.630 --> 0:04:04.840 Not that. 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:06.790 I've heard, but it would make sense because it's the 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:07.900 so many people's. 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:09.910 Comments on this show that we don't. 0:04:10.150 --> 0:04:12.430 Have the amount of retractions we have to do. We 0:04:12.430 --> 0:04:15.520 don't need to be just saying stuff like this next week, 0:04:15.550 --> 0:04:17.289 all the emails will be like, what the hell do 0:04:17.290 --> 0:04:19.720 you think you're talking about? Well known that fish fear 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.089 the windy surface and flee from the ripples. 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:23.200 You're probably right. 0:04:23.890 --> 0:04:28.750 Um, but it is exciting that when two weeks ago, Ham, 0:04:29.050 --> 0:04:31.599 you had a tax accountant on and played a game 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:33.130 with Jack and I to see if we could come 0:04:33.130 --> 0:04:38.200 up with as many deductible things as possible. The the 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.120 thing that kept coming back was if it was part 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.750 of a convention, a conference, a conference or a convention conference, 0:04:43.779 --> 0:04:45.520 is it a conference? Yeah, you can deduct that. So 0:04:45.550 --> 0:04:48.670 we were like, well, to give the whole of Australia 0:04:48.700 --> 0:04:53.090 a chop out, we will put on conference. conference con 0:04:53.089 --> 0:04:58.940 con which will allow a tax deductible, very informative couple 0:04:58.970 --> 0:05:02.450 of sessions or however long we would talk about these 0:05:02.450 --> 0:05:07.370 people's individual businesses with, of course, networking at the nearest 0:05:07.370 --> 0:05:08.240 golf course. 0:05:08.570 --> 0:05:11.900 Yes, there'll be networking opportunities galore, but that is part 0:05:11.900 --> 0:05:13.969 of a conference. Everyone's favorite part of a conference. But 0:05:13.970 --> 0:05:16.400 there will also be the the formal presentations. And I 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.130 think where we knuckled down and I think this is 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:23.089 the critical bit, is as part of the ticketing process. 0:05:23.089 --> 0:05:26.299 When we get around to that, it will know the 0:05:26.300 --> 0:05:30.170 profession that everyone has going into con con, and we 0:05:30.170 --> 0:05:34.280 will make sure that there's, you know, 30s on your 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:38.690 specific profession. I mean minimum yeah. 30 plus seconds. Yes. 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.000 Tax department doesn't need to know. They never going to 0:05:41.029 --> 0:05:43.310 ask like the ATO doesn't go if you go. I 0:05:43.310 --> 0:05:46.849 went to a garbage waste conference because I'm in waste management. 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:48.529 They're not going to go. How long did they talk for? 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.700 They just go yeah, great. Sweet mate. Hope you had 0:05:50.700 --> 0:05:51.390 a good time. 0:05:51.870 --> 0:05:53.520 That's exactly how it happens. 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.900 But that is a recording from a recent audit. 0:05:59.310 --> 0:06:04.110 Um, but but the lawyers here keep telling us to 0:06:04.140 --> 0:06:07.589 say to everybody, check with your own accountant. Yeah. 0:06:07.620 --> 0:06:09.989 Um, the funny thing is, we had there is actually 0:06:09.990 --> 0:06:12.390 a legal team that works for listener who run the podcast. 0:06:12.420 --> 0:06:14.430 They don't even know what they're scared of. They just 0:06:14.430 --> 0:06:18.359 know this feels scary. Yeah. Yeah. But it just feels 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:21.690 a heck of a lot like three guys giving financial advice. 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:23.400 So they're like, we're not even. You don't even know 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:24.810 what the event is yet. We don't even know how 0:06:24.810 --> 0:06:27.659 it works. But we just let it be known. We're scared. 0:06:27.690 --> 0:06:30.900 Say some things to cover us. That's the vibe I'm getting. 0:06:30.930 --> 0:06:33.180 Yeah. And we're not giving financial advice. No. 0:06:33.420 --> 0:06:34.080 Well done. Jack. 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:37.380 Exactly well done, Jack. Really? Turning around from the wind 0:06:37.410 --> 0:06:38.820 ocean stuff earlier on. 0:06:38.850 --> 0:06:42.479 Good to have that crisply on the transcript. Transcript. That'll 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:43.320 come in handy. 0:06:43.350 --> 0:06:46.710 What we are finding is there is an immense amount 0:06:46.710 --> 0:06:47.580 of interest, which there's. 0:06:47.580 --> 0:06:48.580 Is a hunger, which means. 0:06:48.580 --> 0:06:53.020 We have to turn our direction to or our interests into. 0:06:53.020 --> 0:06:57.850 How will we put together a very concise learning moment 0:06:58.060 --> 0:06:59.440 for these different businesses? 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:02.020 You mentioned sessions before, and that's a good I think 0:07:02.020 --> 0:07:04.390 that's a good area to start. I don't think I've 0:07:04.390 --> 0:07:08.109 been to a conference. I um, sometimes we I guess 0:07:08.110 --> 0:07:09.730 we've spoken at them before, but I don't think I've 0:07:09.730 --> 0:07:12.850 ever been as an attendee. But there are sessions there often, 0:07:12.850 --> 0:07:16.000 like there's the morning session or whatever. I'm just vibing 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.000 this out. But I think two half hour sessions separated 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:23.320 by a 20 minute refreshment and networking break, that's a 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:25.780 pretty good conference, G. That's a great conference to eat 0:07:25.780 --> 0:07:28.360 up the whole day. No no no. And cut out 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:31.090 all the networking. Exactly. Imagine how devastated you'd be if 0:07:31.090 --> 0:07:32.320 you come back from the conference and there was no 0:07:32.350 --> 0:07:36.430 time for networking. So exactly one day conference, two sessions, um, 0:07:36.430 --> 0:07:39.190 there'll be sort of like a late afternoon and an 0:07:39.190 --> 0:07:44.950 early evening session, um, generous networking opportunities in the morning. Yes. 0:07:44.980 --> 0:07:48.120 And yeah, I think that's loosely the gist. And then 0:07:48.150 --> 0:07:49.560 we will do content wise. 0:07:49.590 --> 0:07:52.260 Yeah, we'll be doing the presentations for you. 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.330 Some people I think. Yeah, some people I think thought 0:07:54.330 --> 0:07:55.620 that they would have to. 0:07:55.650 --> 0:07:56.700 Speak, speak. 0:07:56.730 --> 0:07:58.560 No no no no. You tell us what your industry 0:07:58.590 --> 0:08:02.610 is and we'll educate you. Yes. Tailor made conference. Yeah. 0:08:02.820 --> 0:08:05.490 It's not to be confused with TaylorMade, the golf brand, 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:09.600 although I'm sure Jack will try and work that in somehow. 0:08:10.380 --> 0:08:13.080 Hey, just to reel off a few people that have 0:08:13.110 --> 0:08:15.510 shown interest because there has been I think we're in 0:08:15.510 --> 0:08:16.830 close to hundreds, aren't we? 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:18.780 700 or. 0:08:18.780 --> 0:08:22.680 700? Okay. Would we be able to talk on marine 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:26.280 science and biotechnology? Yes, I thought we would. That would 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.940 please Matt Cherry. He said Khan. Boys, um, all you 0:08:29.940 --> 0:08:31.410 need to do is make sure this is near an 0:08:31.410 --> 0:08:33.839 ocean and the tax man will have zero issues. 0:08:34.230 --> 0:08:35.280 Yeah. That's good. 0:08:35.309 --> 0:08:37.410 So we've already warmed up with the fish and the 0:08:37.410 --> 0:08:40.050 wind stuff. That's right. What is that about? Marine science. 0:08:40.260 --> 0:08:40.890 That's true. 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:43.319 We'll correct that maybe on the day. So if. 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:43.590 You. 0:08:43.660 --> 0:08:43.929 Are. 0:08:43.929 --> 0:08:44.709 Clarify it. 0:08:44.740 --> 0:08:51.189 Marine science or biotechnology. Come along. He's in seaweed agriculture. Aquaculture. 0:08:51.429 --> 0:08:52.630 Just cover that off. 0:08:52.660 --> 0:08:58.660 Well, we'd be thrilled to, um, just in terms of people, 0:08:58.690 --> 0:09:02.170 you know, some people are more concerned about showing evidence 0:09:02.170 --> 0:09:04.720 to the old tax man than others. I've had a 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:08.470 couple on my side of the fence going, um, I know, 0:09:08.500 --> 0:09:11.050 I certainly know if I could present or if I, 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:12.910 you know, I'm allowed to go to conferences from my 0:09:12.910 --> 0:09:16.870 work if I'm they'll fly me there if I'm presenting. Great. Oh, um, 0:09:16.900 --> 0:09:19.449 but not as a participant. I had 2 or 3 0:09:19.450 --> 0:09:22.180 of those. But, look, we're not going to do that. 0:09:22.179 --> 0:09:24.790 But if there are people that want extra evidence for 0:09:24.790 --> 0:09:28.000 the tax man. Yes. Would we incorporate a section of 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:31.000 the conference where you where we line sort of ten 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:34.210 people up in the wings. Right. And you can come 0:09:34.210 --> 0:09:37.179 out very, very fast, one at a time, pose at 0:09:37.179 --> 0:09:40.900 the podium, pose at the lectern and you get a photo, 0:09:40.900 --> 0:09:43.470 a bit of photo evidence. That's good. That makes it 0:09:43.470 --> 0:09:46.110 look like you presented at the conference, and you can 0:09:46.110 --> 0:09:48.630 go back with that in your hand and walk out. 0:09:48.630 --> 0:09:50.100 And say, I've presented. 0:09:50.130 --> 0:09:52.740 Yeah. Or like, thanks for coming. Say one fact. Yeah. 0:09:52.770 --> 0:09:55.260 Because then it's not even deceitful. They did present something 0:09:55.260 --> 0:09:56.520 about the industry. 0:09:56.550 --> 0:09:58.620 Yep. Well, we could have people saying stuff like, you know, 0:09:58.650 --> 0:10:01.980 the refreshment break starts now or whatever. And and so 0:10:01.980 --> 0:10:04.830 they have presented a fact at the conference and they've 0:10:04.830 --> 0:10:07.890 got the photo tax man comes knocking. Did you really 0:10:07.890 --> 0:10:10.380 present that conference. What do you call this photo. Absolutely right. 0:10:10.410 --> 0:10:11.340 Congrats on the TD. 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.620 Can we okay. Can we then set up on our 0:10:13.620 --> 0:10:19.469 website a performer. Yep. Where people can fill in their 0:10:19.470 --> 0:10:22.740 own and we say hi. Fill in your own name. Darrell. 0:10:22.740 --> 0:10:24.809 We would love you to present. 0:10:25.350 --> 0:10:25.740 At. 0:10:25.740 --> 0:10:26.280 This conference. 0:10:26.309 --> 0:10:28.140 I see it as only ten people. You know, I 0:10:28.140 --> 0:10:30.510 would say the vast majority of the crowd is there 0:10:30.540 --> 0:10:33.959 to absorb fact. Yep. But if you have to show 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:37.079 that you're on stage. Mhm. Then we could have a 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:40.200 few openings for people to give some facts out to present. 0:10:40.230 --> 0:10:42.180 Great. And then they can print that out and send 0:10:42.179 --> 0:10:45.210 it to themselves and show their boss that they needed their. 0:10:45.300 --> 0:10:47.280 They've been invited. Yeah, they've been invited. 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:48.689 Just you know how you said some people are more 0:10:48.690 --> 0:10:50.700 worried about the tax department than others? 0:10:50.730 --> 0:10:51.449 Yeah. Who have you got? 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:55.470 Josh isn't. He says he works his industry is the 0:10:55.470 --> 0:10:57.000 Australian Taxation Office. 0:10:59.010 --> 0:11:00.780 Nice. And he said. 0:11:00.809 --> 0:11:04.530 Surely, surely an ATO man such as myself can ride 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.349 off a convention on tax. I'm new to the ATO, 0:11:07.350 --> 0:11:08.819 but I'm willing to test this. 0:11:08.820 --> 0:11:09.540 So definitely. 0:11:09.540 --> 0:11:11.400 Because then if they bring it, try to bring us down. 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:12.569 They have to bring themselves down. 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:17.310 And what was one of your boys doing there? Exactly. 0:11:17.340 --> 0:11:19.950 So this feels like an ancient France when you, like, 0:11:19.980 --> 0:11:23.520 marry the daughter of Spain. Like, just to form the alliance. 0:11:23.550 --> 0:11:26.550 Like alliances. We'll give a complimentary ticket to a tax 0:11:26.580 --> 0:11:29.550 office person just so there can be no sniffing around. 0:11:29.580 --> 0:11:31.860 Yeah, well, that'd be. That'd be. Well, we can then 0:11:31.890 --> 0:11:33.569 be accused of bribery. It'd be good if Josh just 0:11:33.570 --> 0:11:34.500 bought his own way there. 0:11:34.530 --> 0:11:39.439 I was joking. Yeah, it's got a. You don't say 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.900 the B word. Yeah. No, I was joking. He buys 0:11:41.900 --> 0:11:44.209 his own way there. And it's above board. Yep. Would 0:11:44.210 --> 0:11:46.520 we do a presentation? Someone just said if you do 0:11:46.550 --> 0:11:49.189 morals and ethics, that covers a lot of industry. That's 0:11:49.190 --> 0:11:51.500 a good one. So I reckon we could just pop. 0:11:51.530 --> 0:11:55.010 We could do 30s on morals and ethics. Yep. Danielle, 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.080 she's a paramedic. We do a bit of that stuff, 0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:57.650 wouldn't we? 0:11:57.830 --> 0:12:00.170 Oh, yeah. Definitely. My brother's a paramedic, so I can. 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:01.370 There we go. That's on you. 0:12:03.950 --> 0:12:05.210 Leave that one with me. 0:12:05.420 --> 0:12:08.540 Thank you. So, just to a conference. What? A conference. 0:12:08.540 --> 0:12:11.030 So what we'll do then? We will. 0:12:11.030 --> 0:12:11.839 Divide. 0:12:11.870 --> 0:12:13.910 What a Ted talk. I want to talk to you 0:12:13.940 --> 0:12:17.450 guys about what's called the golden hour in life saving. Now, 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.270 I'm not a paramedic, but my brother is. And he 0:12:20.300 --> 0:12:23.030 actually was talking about this at Christmas. It was so interesting. 0:12:23.030 --> 0:12:26.179 Here's what I remember from that conversation. 0:12:28.010 --> 0:12:32.450 So I get this straight. We will have people register 0:12:32.990 --> 0:12:36.420 and and obviously they have to get them. It's very 0:12:36.420 --> 0:12:40.500 clear you're getting yourself to the convention. It's a regular convention. Convention? 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.500 We'll get there. I think we're going to balance the. 0:12:43.530 --> 0:12:45.630 We'll have some kind of pack for you because that's 0:12:45.630 --> 0:12:48.150 what happens with a convention. You'll have a lanyard. 0:12:48.179 --> 0:12:51.060 Lanyard, USB stick, all the good stuff. 0:12:51.210 --> 0:12:53.610 So they're paying they're paying airfares. And then the ticket 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:55.740 will have some sort of ticket price for the convention. 0:12:55.770 --> 0:12:58.020 Yes, there would be, because we've got to hire the 0:12:58.020 --> 0:13:01.200 convention center. So we'll do like every other convention. We 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.030 will we'll we'll set that up. But you have to 0:13:03.030 --> 0:13:06.480 get yourselves there. Um, I'm not sure. I mean, are 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:08.670 they doing their own accommodation? We'll work that out. Yeah. 0:13:08.700 --> 0:13:10.470 Oh, is it a package, do you think? 0:13:10.500 --> 0:13:13.530 Oh, I mean, I don't know. I mean, do we? 0:13:13.770 --> 0:13:14.520 That sounds like admin. 0:13:14.910 --> 0:13:18.750 Straying into my least favorite part of this stuff. Yeah. Admin. 0:13:18.750 --> 0:13:22.530 I'll do merch, you do admin. But so I think 0:13:22.530 --> 0:13:24.930 the best thing to do is let people register. Right. 0:13:24.929 --> 0:13:27.240 You go, I would like to register for Comic-Con. Yeah. Then. 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:30.720 But then we need to give them. Well the Hong 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:34.569 Kong Kong Kong Kong confirmation. So you get so you're 0:13:34.570 --> 0:13:37.570 not going to you have Hong Kong Kong which is 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:38.199 Kong Kong Kong. 0:13:38.830 --> 0:13:41.979 Kong Kong confirmation like that. And then we'll decide when 0:13:42.010 --> 0:13:44.110 when we have a little wade through admin whether we're 0:13:44.110 --> 0:13:45.790 going to do Kong Kong Kong Kong. 0:13:46.059 --> 0:13:53.050 Kong Kong which is confirmed. Or if a b Kong 0:13:53.050 --> 0:13:57.640 Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong or like if 0:13:57.670 --> 0:13:58.900 we're comping it. Comping anyone? 0:13:58.900 --> 0:14:00.940 Yes. There'll be a bit they'll we'll work out that 0:14:00.940 --> 0:14:03.130 but for clarity. 0:14:03.190 --> 0:14:05.439 I did you sorry. Were you part of the Hong 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:09.550 Kong Kong Kong package or are you just gone gone 0:14:09.550 --> 0:14:13.240 gone gone gone gone. Did you want Kong? Kong Kong 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.550 condoms in the room? Are you here? How seriously are 0:14:15.550 --> 0:14:18.790 you taking the networking? We. 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.180 We will. But just to be really clear for us, 0:14:22.210 --> 0:14:25.000 once everybody has registered and we'll have a cut off 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:26.680 amount because it will only be how many people we 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:28.810 can fit this certain wherever we choose. Yep. 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:29.500 Kong, Kong. 0:14:29.710 --> 0:14:31.660 We will then divvy up. 0:14:31.700 --> 0:14:32.510 All. 0:14:32.510 --> 0:14:35.480 The industries that we have to cover. Yep. Yep. And 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.670 then we'll split them between the three of us. 0:14:37.700 --> 0:14:38.660 Yep. Yep. That's how it will work. 0:14:38.690 --> 0:14:41.240 And there'll be 30 plus seconds per industry. 0:14:41.270 --> 0:14:46.520 Session one. Break. Session two. Boom! Covered. Tax deduction secured. 0:14:46.730 --> 0:14:51.290 Of course. Check with your financial advisor. But from our 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:56.390 angle it looks like. And remember things can have many angles. 0:14:56.420 --> 0:14:59.180 But from the angle I'm looking at that. That seems 0:14:59.180 --> 0:15:00.860 swedo burrito to me. 0:15:06.710 --> 0:15:09.680 And we had no idea of a rich vein of 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:12.410 people that were going to be kind of tapping into 0:15:12.410 --> 0:15:16.250 when it comes to extreme empaths. We talked about my 0:15:16.250 --> 0:15:18.830 girlfriend being extremely empathetic when it comes to people, which 0:15:18.830 --> 0:15:20.690 is probably nice when it comes to object, which gets 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:22.220 a little bit annoying just. 0:15:22.250 --> 0:15:24.380 Assigning human traits to objects. Yeah, I. 0:15:24.380 --> 0:15:27.350 Think the one that I brought up was that she 0:15:27.350 --> 0:15:28.850 asked me to go into the study to check whether 0:15:28.850 --> 0:15:31.830 her old laptop had finished transferring the information to a 0:15:31.830 --> 0:15:34.770 new laptop because she felt sorry for the old one 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.950 having to take the new one. All the new tricks. 0:15:37.980 --> 0:15:40.440 Couldn't go and look it in the face. I'm so 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.380 sorry I replaced you. Look. And there are so many 0:15:43.380 --> 0:15:46.890 extreme empaths out there, and we're the place to hear them. 0:15:46.890 --> 0:15:51.090 We'll be. I mean, are we empaths for then understanding 0:15:51.090 --> 0:15:53.400 what it's like? We're more of a repository for the. 0:15:53.790 --> 0:15:54.690 I'd love to be able to. 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:56.370 Claim any kind of empathy from my. 0:15:56.370 --> 0:15:57.270 Side of the fence. 0:15:57.270 --> 0:16:00.330 As the Tin Man, as my sister called me. But yes, 0:16:00.330 --> 0:16:02.580 I don't think I'm quite in that category, but I 0:16:02.580 --> 0:16:04.500 do love hearing about them. They're out. 0:16:04.500 --> 0:16:07.620 There. It has been a flood. What have you got 0:16:07.740 --> 0:16:09.390 to kick it off with Sarah here? 0:16:09.990 --> 0:16:13.800 I like to water household plants with lukewarm water. I 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:15.360 don't want them to feel too cold. 0:16:15.870 --> 0:16:18.240 Oh, God. It's probably not good for them. 0:16:18.270 --> 0:16:21.090 No, I think actually, plants like colder water. I've watched 0:16:21.090 --> 0:16:23.430 something recently that said put ice blocks in. 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.520 They grew up outside where it's all cold. You know, 0:16:27.060 --> 0:16:32.479 like they're not having showers. They're drinking. This is great. 0:16:32.510 --> 0:16:35.960 This is. Yeah. This is this is, uh, from. Cassie 0:16:37.310 --> 0:16:40.640 can relate to Beck's struggles. Whenever my partner separates a 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.040 bunch of bananas at the supermarket and leaves one on 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.560 its own, I always go and get it to match 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:51.680 it up so it doesn't lose its friends. Like, you'd 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.200 be like, oh, we got four now. We only need three. No, no, no, 0:16:54.230 --> 0:16:56.450 you're coming with us. It's coming with us. And all 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.190 she writes or I go and put it with another 0:16:58.190 --> 0:17:00.680 solo banana. So foster, foster it. 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.180 Out to another banana family. 0:17:02.210 --> 0:17:03.710 This is. This is what I love about all this 0:17:03.710 --> 0:17:05.479 stuff just going. No, no, no, these things have feelings, 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:08.390 I assume. No problems. Later, when you tear its skin 0:17:08.420 --> 0:17:13.250 off and eat it a lot, you know no one's 0:17:13.250 --> 0:17:16.820 bothering their pavlova. Oh, and did you eat it alive 0:17:16.820 --> 0:17:19.429 in front of its friends? Yes, I did, but at 0:17:19.460 --> 0:17:21.889 least it wasn't lonely. This one. 0:17:21.890 --> 0:17:26.240 From Jordan. Extreme empaths. He says my wife falls under 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:29.910 this category. She doesn't like to use techsters because she 0:17:29.910 --> 0:17:32.070 thinks you'll hurt their little noses. 0:17:37.830 --> 0:17:41.010 Which. Now when I delete a text, I look at it. 0:17:41.010 --> 0:17:43.290 And think I am using its nose squashing. 0:17:43.290 --> 0:17:45.929 Jamming its face into the page just so we could 0:17:45.930 --> 0:17:46.320 make a. 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:50.639 Mucus coming out and hopefully the nicest color available. 0:17:50.670 --> 0:17:53.639 I mean, there's so many. Here's another one. Okay, um, 0:17:53.670 --> 0:17:57.149 this comes in from Darren because he's an extreme empath. 0:17:57.180 --> 0:17:59.940 He says, I find when I pull commonly used dishes 0:17:59.940 --> 0:18:02.700 from the dishwasher, and then I use them immediately, like, 0:18:02.730 --> 0:18:04.320 I've got a few of those bowls where I'm like, 0:18:04.350 --> 0:18:07.980 you're perfect for, you know, yogurt. I use them immediately. 0:18:07.980 --> 0:18:10.260 There are a few that never seem to get a rest. 0:18:10.260 --> 0:18:13.200 So like your favorite dishes because and I always hear 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.510 them in my mind saying, oh man, give me a break. 0:18:15.510 --> 0:18:18.270 I just got clean cut. I have a bit of downtime. 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:22.380 But equally, you could feel sorry for the plates that 0:18:22.380 --> 0:18:23.970 never get used because if you're on the bottom of 0:18:23.970 --> 0:18:26.719 the stack, coach, give me hardly any rotation unless you 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:29.210 have a big family dinner. So I guess it's true. 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:31.609 It's the greyhound racing argument. Do they love to run? 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:34.820 Do they want to rest? Are you stopping him from 0:18:34.820 --> 0:18:36.169 doing what they were born to do? 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:39.590 One version is stop loss in a military sense where 0:18:39.590 --> 0:18:42.770 we don't have enough servicemen. So you have to stay on. 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:44.989 We're not letting you retire. Yeah, but the. 0:18:44.990 --> 0:18:47.540 Other one is. Coach. Let me in the game. Love it. 0:18:47.570 --> 0:18:50.450 This is from Tony. I once said sorry to my 0:18:50.450 --> 0:18:53.000 car for parking it on a steep hill overnight. 0:18:55.730 --> 0:19:02.359 I. Hold. Hold. Imagine the relief when you took the 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:05.000 parking brake off in the morning. Oh, God. Where have 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:10.880 you been? I thought you were coming back early. There's 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:12.800 been a bunch, too. Yeah, I mean, there's a bunch 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:16.040 to on on Instagram, too. Um, this is this is 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:19.010 from Miller. My husband was getting a knee replacement, and 0:19:19.010 --> 0:19:21.440 I cried because I felt sorry for the knee being 0:19:21.470 --> 0:19:22.340 taken out. 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:29.060 Yeah, that's no good. Andy Hoskins I'll throw this one 0:19:29.060 --> 0:19:31.550 more at you from New Zealand. Ahoy to you. My 0:19:31.550 --> 0:19:34.880 mother is one of the biggest empaths. She knits teddies 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:37.460 to donate to children's hospitals, which is lovely. Lovely. I 0:19:37.460 --> 0:19:41.750 don't think that tips into crazy yet. She makes many 0:19:41.750 --> 0:19:43.550 and sends them all as a big bunch. But when 0:19:43.550 --> 0:19:46.490 she finishes one, she feels bad for it. So she 0:19:46.490 --> 0:19:48.350 knits them a bed and a blanket to keep them 0:19:48.350 --> 0:19:50.030 warm until they're sent off. 0:19:50.270 --> 0:19:53.179 Oh, sweet. That is. I mean, that is lovely. That 0:19:53.180 --> 0:19:55.970 is lovely. I got one to juxtapose that with. This 0:19:55.970 --> 0:19:59.540 is this is like, this is right in the zone, Lisa. 0:19:59.570 --> 0:20:01.940 She goes when I'm filling up the photocopier paper drawer 0:20:01.970 --> 0:20:04.490 at work and it's not empty. So there might be 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:07.340 like ten sheets left front. I pull the paper out. 0:20:07.340 --> 0:20:09.830 That's in there. I add in the new paper. Then 0:20:09.830 --> 0:20:12.889 I place the existing old paper on top. It's not 0:20:12.890 --> 0:20:15.950 fair that they have to wait another 500 sheets to 0:20:15.980 --> 0:20:20.730 get their go. It's like a water slide. You can't 0:20:20.790 --> 0:20:23.730 just have someone cut in 500 people. Corporate event cut 0:20:23.730 --> 0:20:24.570 in front of me. 0:20:32.820 --> 0:20:37.800 Home Olympics obviously on at the moment. Um, we are 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:41.310 not the host broadcaster here at this particular, um, place 0:20:41.310 --> 0:20:42.899 we work at. Listener. That is a. 0:20:42.900 --> 0:20:46.440 Relief. That's a relief to hear. Because if we were, 0:20:46.590 --> 0:20:48.570 I just get the feeling I've missed a heck of 0:20:48.570 --> 0:20:52.139 a lot of shifts. I haven't been in all week 0:20:52.140 --> 0:20:54.690 and I haven't commentated a damn thing. 0:20:56.310 --> 0:20:58.740 Um, but, you know, we are part of the host network. 0:20:58.740 --> 0:21:01.980 I'm working on the Olympics. So in my capacity as 0:21:02.010 --> 0:21:05.490 for promotion for the Olympics, we can certainly talk about it. 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:07.140 Um, of course we must. You must check. 0:21:07.140 --> 0:21:09.780 It out on channel nine. We must. Um. First up, 0:21:09.780 --> 0:21:14.580 let's go back to the opening ceremony. Um, these Eddie Ockenden, 0:21:14.580 --> 0:21:18.090 who was the, um, uh, the flag bearer? Hockey player? 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:19.020 Flag bearer. 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:20.600 Flag bearer with Co. 0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:24.050 Flag bearer with Jess. Jess. Fox. Um, I I'm obviously 0:21:24.050 --> 0:21:26.810 very into my hockey. He's been I think he's 37 0:21:26.810 --> 0:21:29.240 and he's still playing in the, uh, the hockey team. 0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:33.170 But I sent him a note, um, to say congrats, 0:21:33.170 --> 0:21:35.540 but also I said flagbearer. I know he listens to 0:21:35.540 --> 0:21:39.470 the show. Flagbearer lost touch with the common man. He 0:21:39.470 --> 0:21:43.100 wrote back. Yes. Good point, but flag power equals potential 0:21:43.100 --> 0:21:48.109 line to Jim Chalmers. So what? Well, I mean, obviously. 0:21:48.350 --> 0:21:50.630 His gym, his gym there. Well, there'd. 0:21:50.660 --> 0:21:52.820 Be there'd be even if he's not there, they'd be 0:21:52.820 --> 0:21:55.490 representatives of the Australian government there. And what I loved 0:21:55.490 --> 0:21:58.670 is just on the eve of the most important tournament 0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:00.260 that they have, the. 0:22:00.410 --> 0:22:01.220 Got his priority straight. 0:22:01.250 --> 0:22:04.040 He's got his priorities straight. I said, don't spend all 0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:07.130 your time trying to track down Jim. Go to the games. 0:22:07.190 --> 0:22:09.920 I'll tell you what, Jess Fox is another great avenue 0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:12.170 because now, as a gold medal winner. Yes. So not 0:22:12.170 --> 0:22:14.840 only is she co flagbearer, but she can go if 0:22:14.840 --> 0:22:17.119 there is some sort of reception when they get home. 0:22:17.130 --> 0:22:19.890 All the bigwigs from the government are there. No doubt 0:22:19.890 --> 0:22:22.920 she'll have the gold medal on. Um. And then Jim 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:25.470 will go, gee, look at that. And she'll go tell you. 0:22:25.500 --> 0:22:30.270 Speaking of gold round things. Yeah, that that that inspire 0:22:30.270 --> 0:22:33.660 a nation. Could I float this past you? Yes. 0:22:33.990 --> 0:22:36.900 Um. That's great. I noticed that you. Because Hamish was 0:22:36.900 --> 0:22:39.690 doing kayak training for a while. For the coast to 0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:40.770 coast for New Zealand. 0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:44.220 Oh, yeah. For this. That. Jess. Jess was kind enough 0:22:44.220 --> 0:22:47.310 to coach me for one afternoon last year. Yes. Um, 0:22:47.310 --> 0:22:50.609 at the Penrith, uh, Penrith Whitewater Stadium, where I had 0:22:50.609 --> 0:22:54.600 to get certified in kayaking because there's no casual people 0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:57.780 just out at the Whitewater Stadium. No, no. Penrith from 0:22:57.780 --> 0:23:01.740 24 years ago. So there's literally a guy who's never 0:23:01.740 --> 0:23:05.250 been in a kayak before me because there's 21 rapids 0:23:05.250 --> 0:23:07.560 or something as it goes around, goes around like a spiral. 0:23:07.590 --> 0:23:10.500 I'm at the end on the last rapid, like trying 0:23:10.500 --> 0:23:13.320 to learn how you stay afloat in fast moving water. 0:23:13.410 --> 0:23:16.730 So you've got one guy, right? Like, day one of kayaking. 0:23:16.730 --> 0:23:19.220 And then the only other people there are Olympians who 0:23:19.220 --> 0:23:21.980 were just, like, getting ready for the game. So there 0:23:21.980 --> 0:23:26.179 was a real mismatch of talent that day out on 0:23:26.180 --> 0:23:28.250 the water. But she was a legend. Well, you look 0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:28.730 like a little. 0:23:28.730 --> 0:23:31.250 League guy that's getting at half time allowed to go 0:23:31.250 --> 0:23:32.600 out there and try. Looks like she. 0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:33.680 Said it to you. How would you like a photo 0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:37.220 with the helmet on? Really? Thank you. 0:23:37.250 --> 0:23:40.909 We've got to see Australia sing the national anthem a lot, 0:23:40.940 --> 0:23:44.150 which I. That's what I love about the Olympics. You 0:23:44.150 --> 0:23:48.140 get all patriotic. We are one and three. That new 0:23:48.140 --> 0:23:51.320 line that we have, which is great. It made me 0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:53.209 think they would have been rapt when they came up 0:23:53.210 --> 0:23:53.990 with that. 0:23:54.200 --> 0:23:57.080 Because it fits. It's such a perfect swap out. 0:23:57.109 --> 0:24:00.230 Yeah, it's rather than I think the other idea was 0:24:00.260 --> 0:24:03.530 to add bloody in there. We are bloody. 0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:04.129 Free. 0:24:04.130 --> 0:24:05.449 Free do you. 0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:07.490 I just want to know what the process was and 0:24:07.490 --> 0:24:10.220 whether they did go to Rhymezone, which you and I 0:24:10.250 --> 0:24:13.760 have Rhymezone. Com when we're trying to think of a 0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:16.400 parody song at last minute, you're like, okay, Jesus. 0:24:16.700 --> 0:24:19.820 That is a website from 1998 that has never been updated. 0:24:19.850 --> 0:24:23.420 It's just like all text. Exactly. And hyperlinks. 0:24:23.450 --> 0:24:25.100 Like, it's a special skill where a guy can eat 0:24:25.100 --> 0:24:27.919 cheese crackers really quickly. So we're like rhyming, rhyming cracker. 0:24:28.250 --> 0:24:33.470 What rhymes with Camembert? Camembert? Exactly. 0:24:33.500 --> 0:24:38.510 I just wondered whether at Australia Advance, Australia Fair offices, 0:24:38.510 --> 0:24:43.220 did someone just crack his knuckles and go, okay, rhyme zone. 0:24:43.250 --> 0:24:45.770 Young one. 0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:48.980 Good. Yeah. That's. Yeah, one. We have fun. 0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:50.270 Fun and free. 0:24:50.300 --> 0:24:51.020 Was the one I. 0:24:51.050 --> 0:24:53.030 Thought they may have thought. 0:24:53.030 --> 0:24:55.310 About. For fun and free would be good. Yeah, it 0:24:55.310 --> 0:24:58.490 would be good. No country, I reckon, has fun in 0:24:58.520 --> 0:25:02.240 their national anthem, which is a shame. That's a missed opportunity. 0:25:02.270 --> 0:25:05.689 Everyone's got like, you know, patriotism. Yeah, like half of 0:25:05.690 --> 0:25:08.150 them are about wars and, like, never giving in and, like, 0:25:08.180 --> 0:25:11.359 you know, the American one. Why not be fun? I 0:25:11.359 --> 0:25:13.719 think Bhutan. Bhutan would have happy because isn't there that 0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:16.000 thing that they're like the happiest nation on Earth? They would. 0:25:16.030 --> 0:25:18.700 Have. I'm still not sure if they're putting happy in Spain. 0:25:18.700 --> 0:25:20.350 Don't have any lyrics. Just so you know, I did 0:25:20.350 --> 0:25:21.609 a bit of a deep dive because I was going 0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:24.160 to bring to the show my rankings of the top 0:25:24.160 --> 0:25:26.980 national anthems. Turns out a lot of them are really boring. 0:25:26.980 --> 0:25:28.780 But Spain no lyrics, which I. 0:25:28.780 --> 0:25:31.060 Was thinking, this is me. I go to pub trivia 0:25:31.060 --> 0:25:33.280 occasionally on a Monday night, and I was watching the 0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:37.570 medal ceremony for something synchronized ten metre diving. China had won. 0:25:37.600 --> 0:25:40.660 Chinese national anthem pipes up and I go right for 0:25:40.660 --> 0:25:43.600 country's large and as powerful with as much global influence 0:25:43.600 --> 0:25:47.620 as China. I would never have known this was their anthem. Yeah, 0:25:47.650 --> 0:25:48.639 you know what I mean? I was like, this would 0:25:48.640 --> 0:25:51.310 be a good trivia question. You pump, you start an 0:25:51.340 --> 0:25:53.770 anthem and go, right, we've all watched the Olympics. Whose 0:25:53.800 --> 0:25:54.790 is this? Can we agree. 0:25:54.790 --> 0:25:56.230 That the French is the best. 0:25:56.260 --> 0:26:00.640 French? I reckon French, US and Great Britain are the 0:26:00.640 --> 0:26:02.620 only ones I really know besides the Australian one. 0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:05.169 Then, I mean. But Great Britain's not great. 0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:06.910 No, no, no, I'm not saying it's a top ten, 0:26:07.030 --> 0:26:09.369 but I just wouldn't be able to recognize if I'm 0:26:09.380 --> 0:26:11.690 playing that trivia game, I don't think I'd get, you know, 0:26:11.720 --> 0:26:14.300 of the other 194 countries, I don't think I'm getting 0:26:14.300 --> 0:26:15.020 very many. 0:26:15.050 --> 0:26:17.570 If Mando is listening, who's the quizmaster? I'm just saying 0:26:17.570 --> 0:26:21.380 Mando is a good puppet. Like if you're thinking about 0:26:21.380 --> 0:26:23.750 next Monday night, I think that would be an interesting one. No, 0:26:23.750 --> 0:26:25.520 we normally do a music round in round three and 0:26:25.520 --> 0:26:27.800 it's got a pretty standard format, but maybe for the 0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:29.449 Olympics you could do a new music round, shake it 0:26:29.450 --> 0:26:32.300 in quickly. On the diving. You know how they dry off. 0:26:32.330 --> 0:26:34.460 There's a lot of like after you dive, you have 0:26:34.460 --> 0:26:38.270 the mini towel. Yeah. You know those like mini camping towel. Yeah. 0:26:38.359 --> 0:26:40.400 But then there's a lot of, like, you dry off, 0:26:40.430 --> 0:26:42.890 then you get in the spa, then you dry off again. Yeah. 0:26:42.950 --> 0:26:45.620 It's very confusing whether they want to be wet or 0:26:45.619 --> 0:26:50.240 dry during during the diving. And also why not like, 0:26:50.270 --> 0:26:52.850 come on, it's the Olympics. Bring a bath sheet. Like 0:26:53.030 --> 0:26:54.619 we're not allowed to use those at home because they 0:26:54.619 --> 0:26:56.540 take up too much of the washing machine. But like 0:26:56.840 --> 0:26:59.630 treat yourself, treat yourself. It's the bloody Olympics. Not a 0:26:59.630 --> 0:27:00.980 giant towel. 0:27:00.980 --> 0:27:03.889 That's true. But that's not the most confusing thing about 0:27:03.890 --> 0:27:08.340 the diving mark. Tubby Taylor commentating the diving was, I reckon, 0:27:08.369 --> 0:27:09.659 the most confusing. 0:27:09.690 --> 0:27:11.550 That was so awesome. Night one. 0:27:11.580 --> 0:27:12.180 Night one. 0:27:12.210 --> 0:27:14.399 Him just going oh geez buddy, no splash. Are you 0:27:14.400 --> 0:27:17.820 happy with that? Like he was commentating it like I don't. 0:27:17.820 --> 0:27:22.440 Know he was Australian cricket test captain. Yep. Uh, from well, 0:27:22.440 --> 0:27:23.790 a decade or so ago. 0:27:23.820 --> 0:27:27.840 Yeah. And often this is back. They just had, um, 0:27:27.869 --> 0:27:29.850 stump cam had just come in with a cricket, so 0:27:29.850 --> 0:27:31.830 you could often you just could hear what the players 0:27:31.830 --> 0:27:35.310 were saying on the field. And he was often well 0:27:35.310 --> 0:27:37.530 criticized by the team or derided by the team because 0:27:37.530 --> 0:27:40.410 he would only talk in diving and elegance. And the other, 0:27:40.590 --> 0:27:43.139 you know, and Ian Healy behind the stumps, he'd be like, 0:27:43.140 --> 0:27:45.330 we don't understand, mate. And he'd be like, guys, we 0:27:45.330 --> 0:27:47.700 need to tighten this up like a pike, right? Like 0:27:47.730 --> 0:27:50.160 a pike. Get your head to your knees like a pike. 0:27:50.160 --> 0:27:52.470 And he goes, tell me we don't understand, mate. Not 0:27:52.470 --> 0:27:54.240 everyone gets diving the way you do. 0:27:54.270 --> 0:27:55.020 So finally he. 0:27:55.020 --> 0:27:58.889 Got his calling, which is totally up to 20, 30 0:27:58.890 --> 0:28:01.770 years of pestering channel nine. Get me at the diving. 0:28:01.770 --> 0:28:03.840 I think you'll be impressed by what I can do. 0:28:03.900 --> 0:28:07.240 I thought I'd be surprised when he was selling us 0:28:07.240 --> 0:28:09.609 air conditioners. I was like, oh, wow. Like that's something 0:28:09.609 --> 0:28:11.859 I didn't expect him to be doing. Diving was the 0:28:11.859 --> 0:28:17.200 next level for that final one. Ham. Um, Ian Thorpe 0:28:17.200 --> 0:28:19.480 commentating the swimming. 0:28:19.720 --> 0:28:21.010 You said you had something for us here. 0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:24.100 I've had something for you guys here. This just reminds 0:28:24.100 --> 0:28:28.209 me of when at school, you came across a fad 0:28:28.240 --> 0:28:31.810 and someone else in your group goes, hey, I saw 0:28:31.810 --> 0:28:35.110 this fad, and you're arguing that you saw it first? Yeah. 0:28:35.140 --> 0:28:35.800 Yeah, yeah. 0:28:36.460 --> 0:28:38.050 My uncle went to Japan two years ago. I already 0:28:38.050 --> 0:28:40.780 got a Pokemon. Yeah, that kind of thing. Yes. 0:28:40.810 --> 0:28:43.990 I think Thorpey had a little bit of that as 0:28:43.990 --> 0:28:46.570 he was describing. There's a guy called peaty from Great Britain. 0:28:46.570 --> 0:28:50.590 He's a breaststroke champion. Um, this is just him, and 0:28:50.590 --> 0:28:52.870 I'm not sure the other commentator. But you'll pick up 0:28:52.870 --> 0:28:53.950 what I'm talking about. 0:28:54.610 --> 0:28:58.570 He is absolutely the greatest sprint breaststroker the world has seen. 0:28:58.570 --> 0:29:01.480 And for him to come back from adversity and line 0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:06.170 up here in lane four is a wonderful achievement. They're 0:29:06.170 --> 0:29:09.920 calling it the three Peat Thorpey. I told you that. 0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:13.400 Don't pretend I did not tell you. That's what they're saying. In. 0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:16.220 In Britain, it's a three peat. If he can win it. 0:29:16.220 --> 0:29:18.470 I've been saying that a little bit longer than that. 0:29:23.900 --> 0:29:26.570 I've been saying it a little bit longer than that. Well, 0:29:26.600 --> 0:29:31.490 then Britain's existed. I've been saying it since Roman times. 0:29:31.490 --> 0:29:36.050 You know that. I've been saying it since. He's taking 0:29:36.050 --> 0:29:41.240 a bit longer than Britain has, so that is great. Yeah, 0:29:41.270 --> 0:29:43.700 that actually just stinks. Who's the other commentator? 0:29:43.730 --> 0:29:46.010 I'm not sure I should know because he's very famous. 0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:46.730 He's been doing a good job. 0:29:46.820 --> 0:29:48.470 He was doing a great job of trying to. 0:29:48.770 --> 0:29:50.600 Just brush over it and move on to the next. 0:29:50.600 --> 0:29:52.760 Thing. I think because he's obviously like, you know, he's 0:29:53.030 --> 0:29:56.480 obviously like called many sports. And before you go on, 0:29:56.510 --> 0:29:59.000 you know, there'd be some level of performance anxiety too, 0:29:59.030 --> 0:30:01.580 especially as thorpey, you know, you're not trained as a commentator. 0:30:01.610 --> 0:30:03.590 You'd be like, I've got my list of things I'm 0:30:03.590 --> 0:30:08.600 going to say yes. And he's probably before they've gone on, gone. Oh, I'll, 0:30:08.630 --> 0:30:11.120 it's actually we've been saying the three PD like that's 0:30:11.120 --> 0:30:13.250 the thing that's been coming up with other guys just gone. 0:30:13.250 --> 0:30:15.410 And I. 0:30:15.410 --> 0:30:16.160 Would tell him. 0:30:16.190 --> 0:30:18.140 Do you reckon, do you reckon I'd still be going. 0:30:18.170 --> 0:30:20.479 Come on mate, I've said that off air. That's the 0:30:20.480 --> 0:30:21.050 one bit that. 0:30:21.050 --> 0:30:22.880 I, that's my one bit of homework I've. 0:30:22.880 --> 0:30:23.000 Done. 0:30:23.540 --> 0:30:24.500 What's on my sheet. 0:30:24.800 --> 0:30:26.450 That's the bit I was getting. I've got nothing else 0:30:26.450 --> 0:30:28.700 written and you've come in and chucked it. 0:30:28.790 --> 0:30:31.400 Then I think then I think the defense then of 0:30:31.400 --> 0:30:34.010 the league commentator would be there was a gap and 0:30:34.010 --> 0:30:34.910 you didn't feel it. 0:30:34.910 --> 0:30:37.160 And I'm with him, I'm with him and you're. 0:30:37.160 --> 0:30:39.320 Like, this is our last opportunity because it's semi final. 0:30:39.320 --> 0:30:42.320 We can't say it after the final. He's either done 0:30:42.350 --> 0:30:43.250 it or he hasn't done it. 0:30:43.460 --> 0:30:46.850 And he also he also completely in that situation on 0:30:46.850 --> 0:30:49.070 here when someone's going, hey, I told you that he's done. 0:30:49.100 --> 0:30:51.380 This is a seasoned professional going well I was saying 0:30:51.380 --> 0:30:55.190 it in Britain. Yeah. He didn't like everyone. Everyone's throwing 0:30:55.190 --> 0:30:58.910 it around. So that's why to get someone going. Well 0:30:58.910 --> 0:31:02.870 I've been saying it a lot longer than. And I 0:31:02.870 --> 0:31:05.180 invented torpedo to that. 0:31:10.970 --> 0:31:13.520 Time. I mean, we've talked about this a lot. We 0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:16.490 expected it to potentially be a Peter out. We've actually 0:31:16.490 --> 0:31:18.950 gave ourselves a license to not mention it for two 0:31:18.950 --> 0:31:21.410 years because we know it's a long process, but I 0:31:21.410 --> 0:31:22.010 thought it was almost. 0:31:22.010 --> 0:31:22.610 A law. 0:31:22.640 --> 0:31:25.520 Keeps knocking at the door and asking to come back in. 0:31:25.520 --> 0:31:29.660 So it's to do with the mint. And obviously we 0:31:29.660 --> 0:31:32.660 suggested that not us personally be put on a coin, 0:31:32.660 --> 0:31:35.960 but the show has a great ambassador for dollar coins 0:31:35.990 --> 0:31:41.510 be recognized on Australian currency as a novelty coin, particularly 0:31:41.510 --> 0:31:43.760 because of some of the junk that the mint throw 0:31:43.760 --> 0:31:44.270 out there. 0:31:44.300 --> 0:31:46.220 I think they call them. They call them commemorative coins. 0:31:46.220 --> 0:31:49.790 Commemorative coins. Not novelty. Nobody. Nobody. 0:31:50.150 --> 0:31:50.990 Not a fart machine. 0:31:51.050 --> 0:31:53.840 They don't have a kiss. The cook they don't have. 0:31:55.970 --> 0:31:56.930 Novelty coins? 0:31:57.110 --> 0:31:57.590 Yes. 0:31:57.590 --> 0:32:00.270 But Yes. Taking. The taking. Of course we know. It's. 0:32:00.300 --> 0:32:02.400 You know, we know it's a essentially it's a note 0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:05.100 from the King. The promise to pay $1. So we 0:32:05.100 --> 0:32:07.710 know it's a serious business currency, but we would like 0:32:07.710 --> 0:32:09.660 to be on a commemorative coin if that's not too 0:32:09.660 --> 0:32:10.260 much trouble. 0:32:10.290 --> 0:32:14.400 Early strategies was just targeting where Jim Chalmers, the Australian Treasurer, 0:32:14.400 --> 0:32:16.830 may have a haircut and trying to get in touch 0:32:16.830 --> 0:32:18.210 with his hairdressers. 0:32:18.240 --> 0:32:21.720 Well, because it's his call, it's Jk's call. I'm sorry. 0:32:21.750 --> 0:32:23.610 Just I know we've got a different top up here, 0:32:23.610 --> 0:32:28.860 but did get a note from alert listener and an operative. Georgie. 0:32:29.700 --> 0:32:32.940 Now I know again this this this. I don't remember 0:32:32.940 --> 0:32:35.820 us having a meeting saying our whole goal here is 0:32:35.820 --> 0:32:38.670 to just target the goods and services that Jim Chalmers, 0:32:38.670 --> 0:32:43.140 the treasurer, uses. But that just seems to be the strategy. Yeah, yeah. Um, 0:32:43.170 --> 0:32:44.910 she is his florist. 0:32:44.940 --> 0:32:45.600 Oh, good. 0:32:45.630 --> 0:32:48.660 So she says, I've got a, um. Just thought you'd 0:32:48.690 --> 0:32:52.080 be pleased to know I'm Jim Chalmers, florist, attaches a picture. 0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:54.510 He's picking up a gorgeous bunch there. Um, looks like 0:32:54.750 --> 0:32:56.620 possibly could be for his wife or something. In fact, 0:32:56.620 --> 0:32:59.260 he's got two bunches. Wow. Um, so she. 0:32:59.260 --> 0:33:01.150 Photographed him while he was just buying flowers. 0:33:01.300 --> 0:33:03.520 She's chatting to him. It's actually a photo of her 0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:05.740 chatting to him. So it was probably from another staff member. 0:33:05.740 --> 0:33:08.860 He's having a laugh. He's entertaining everyone. She goes. I 0:33:08.860 --> 0:33:12.640 had an extensive and very persuasive conversation. 0:33:12.670 --> 0:33:13.390 Does he look like he's had a. 0:33:13.390 --> 0:33:15.790 Fresh hair with him? Re the coin does actually look 0:33:15.790 --> 0:33:18.280 like he's got a short haircut. He's heaven. Jim's having 0:33:18.280 --> 0:33:20.350 a day out. He's gone from a haircut to pick 0:33:20.350 --> 0:33:22.420 up flowers for the house. So we've got him flanked. 0:33:22.570 --> 0:33:26.620 We've got him flanked unfortunately. She then says I can't 0:33:26.620 --> 0:33:30.730 say it's looking good, unfortunately, which doesn't. That's not the 0:33:30.730 --> 0:33:33.100 story the picture tells to me. That's a treasurer with 0:33:33.100 --> 0:33:35.110 two bunches of flowers at the top of his game. 0:33:35.110 --> 0:33:36.880 Who's about to grant us a coin now? I might be. 0:33:36.940 --> 0:33:39.760 Will she go into much more detail? Or she said 0:33:39.760 --> 0:33:42.160 she'd keep us updated if she's got any further sightings. 0:33:42.160 --> 0:33:44.230 So she doesn't say why it's not looking good. But 0:33:44.260 --> 0:33:47.800 you reading between the lines, I don't think it's a 0:33:47.800 --> 0:33:50.650 definite no because I can't imagine him having that smile. 0:33:50.890 --> 0:33:52.000 If it was a no. 0:33:52.030 --> 0:33:52.780 Yes, that's fair. 0:33:52.840 --> 0:33:55.310 I think it's just he probably highlighted some of the hurdles. 0:33:55.310 --> 0:33:57.110 Maybe we've got to say to Georgie like, hey mate, 0:33:57.110 --> 0:33:57.920 we love hurdles. 0:33:57.950 --> 0:34:01.190 We love em. We don't go. We don't go like 0:34:01.190 --> 0:34:02.090 going over them. 0:34:02.120 --> 0:34:03.890 We just like, love kicking them over. 0:34:04.010 --> 0:34:06.110 Or at least running around if there's a spare spot 0:34:06.110 --> 0:34:10.010 in the lane alongside. Um, well, it's been two weeks 0:34:10.010 --> 0:34:13.280 since we brought up on this show that the CEO 0:34:13.280 --> 0:34:15.770 of the mint was asked during one of his press 0:34:15.770 --> 0:34:20.930 conferences from a journalist to comment on us potentially getting 0:34:20.930 --> 0:34:25.130 commemorative coin. He then encouraged everybody that has an idea 0:34:25.130 --> 0:34:28.550 for a commemorative coin to hit up the Australian Mint's 0:34:28.580 --> 0:34:32.600 website and email in. Boy, did they get a lot 0:34:32.630 --> 0:34:35.600 of emails. Great. They've been coming in thick and fast 0:34:35.600 --> 0:34:38.330 to us. People forwarding what they forwarded to the mint. 0:34:38.360 --> 0:34:39.020 Yeah, great. 0:34:39.050 --> 0:34:39.799 The mint response. 0:34:39.830 --> 0:34:42.170 Does the mint respond or is it auto response? It 0:34:42.170 --> 0:34:43.070 looks a bit automatic. 0:34:43.100 --> 0:34:47.510 The response. Um, but so some of them have been 0:34:47.510 --> 0:34:50.120 so great the way that these emails have gone into 0:34:50.120 --> 0:34:52.780 the mint, they've been creative. It also didn't feel like 0:34:52.780 --> 0:34:55.029 a template. You know, when some people have have like 0:34:55.060 --> 0:34:57.219 bots do it and it looks like a template, everybody 0:34:57.219 --> 0:34:57.640 has taken. 0:34:57.640 --> 0:34:58.239 Their old school. 0:34:58.239 --> 0:35:01.359 Man their own tact when it comes to telling them 0:35:01.510 --> 0:35:04.450 why this is the right thing to do. And so 0:35:04.450 --> 0:35:07.540 we've just managed to grab a bunch of them, stick 0:35:07.540 --> 0:35:09.850 them all together, and get a vibe of the emails 0:35:09.850 --> 0:35:10.840 heading into the mint. 0:35:11.350 --> 0:35:13.419 The Royal Australian Mint. 0:35:13.420 --> 0:35:14.770 To whom it may concern a. 0:35:14.770 --> 0:35:17.920 Royal Australian Mint. It is with great gusto that I 0:35:17.950 --> 0:35:20.650 write to express what I believe to be the will 0:35:20.680 --> 0:35:22.300 of the people I speak. 0:35:22.300 --> 0:35:24.460 On behalf of the people of Australia. 0:35:24.489 --> 0:35:27.790 I represent 8.9 million Australians. 0:35:27.820 --> 0:35:30.610 I must insist on the Hamish and Andy coin being 0:35:30.610 --> 0:35:33.790 released into circulation at the earliest convenience. 0:35:33.820 --> 0:35:36.430 The Hamish and Andy podcast coin would be an exciting 0:35:36.430 --> 0:35:38.080 contribution to the economy, but. 0:35:38.080 --> 0:35:40.360 Too long have lesser coins been minted. 0:35:40.390 --> 0:35:41.050 I'm sure you've. 0:35:41.050 --> 0:35:43.270 Had a lot of requests for a Hamish and Andy 0:35:43.300 --> 0:35:45.790 $1 coin, but I just wanted to add another voice 0:35:45.790 --> 0:35:46.390 to that idea. 0:35:46.420 --> 0:35:49.360 They champion the $1 coin and really push the cash 0:35:49.390 --> 0:35:52.010 is king rhetoric. Without them, I think you might be 0:35:52.010 --> 0:35:52.759 out of a job. 0:35:52.760 --> 0:35:56.540 This wise choice could be the single factor that allows 0:35:56.540 --> 0:36:01.009 the Australian dollar to again compete with global currencies. 0:36:01.040 --> 0:36:04.339 And quietly, a bit more interesting than the iced Vovo 0:36:04.340 --> 0:36:06.319 coin released in 2019. 0:36:06.350 --> 0:36:09.529 A Hamish and Andy coin would be pretty dope. No. 0:36:09.530 --> 0:36:12.440 Bite the bullet and break the ice with haste. Your 0:36:12.440 --> 0:36:14.180 loyal subjects are waiting. 0:36:14.180 --> 0:36:17.090 We all want the Hamish and Andy podcast on a coin. 0:36:17.090 --> 0:36:19.820 I await your confirmation of this. Cheers. 0:36:19.850 --> 0:36:22.310 A concerned citizen, very important. 0:36:22.340 --> 0:36:25.970 Do not mention Mr. Ralph on this coin. Otherwise we 0:36:25.969 --> 0:36:28.669 would not be able to put them in circulation. 0:36:29.210 --> 0:36:30.110 So good. 0:36:30.830 --> 0:36:31.520 So there you go. 0:36:31.550 --> 0:36:35.390 My favorite. There's many good strategies in there I love. 0:36:35.390 --> 0:36:38.390 I must insist this is done. This is done at 0:36:38.390 --> 0:36:42.919 your earliest convenience. He is nothing. Nothing I like more 0:36:42.950 --> 0:36:46.610 than someone just deciding to turn the tables of power. 0:36:46.640 --> 0:36:49.590 I'm afraid I insist, I insist, And the only thing 0:36:49.590 --> 0:36:51.450 that was missing from when any of them is the 0:36:51.450 --> 0:36:54.750 angle where you go assuming that this is good, and 0:36:54.750 --> 0:36:57.030 if there's, you know, if there's I'll only hear from 0:36:57.030 --> 0:37:00.360 you if there's concerns to the contrary. I look forward 0:37:00.360 --> 0:37:02.430 to seeing it in production off the back of this. 0:37:02.430 --> 0:37:07.440 Jack, here's a bit of a bombshell. We missed a 0:37:07.440 --> 0:37:09.210 call from the mint yesterday. 0:37:09.960 --> 0:37:13.649 You can only again, who knows what a missed call means. 0:37:13.650 --> 0:37:15.600 But Carly got the call. 0:37:16.080 --> 0:37:18.900 It's from the mint number because she'd been calling the mint. 0:37:18.930 --> 0:37:22.890 One 800 mint, mint, mint? It's a long number. 0:37:24.420 --> 0:37:25.770 They didn't leave a message. 0:37:25.770 --> 0:37:29.490 So it looks like an in-house number, not one three mint. Yeah. 0:37:29.700 --> 0:37:31.020 That's brilliant. That's what the. 0:37:31.020 --> 0:37:35.640 Call was coming from inside the mint. What a thriller. So. 0:37:36.030 --> 0:37:36.960 Do we try and call them back? 0:37:36.989 --> 0:37:39.480 Well, no, I think we're now we play hard to get. 0:37:39.510 --> 0:37:42.480 We've been we've obviously been going too hard maybe. 0:37:42.630 --> 0:37:42.870 Yeah. 0:37:42.989 --> 0:37:43.920 Come across as Kino's. 0:37:43.950 --> 0:37:47.290 Give us a note as well. Yeah. We want a tenner. 0:37:49.840 --> 0:37:53.530 I reckon, and yeah, we'll go. But I honestly can't 0:37:53.530 --> 0:37:55.960 see it being anything other than them calling to say 0:37:55.960 --> 0:38:07.210 we're firing up the machine. Yeah. Can I. Um. At 0:38:07.210 --> 0:38:09.700 risk of, you know, we have to be very careful 0:38:09.700 --> 0:38:14.200 about talking about golf content. Oh, yeah. Um, but I, 0:38:14.290 --> 0:38:16.390 you know, it has to be it has to have 0:38:16.390 --> 0:38:18.610 a general appeal. And I think this does have a 0:38:18.610 --> 0:38:20.830 general appeal, but I caught up the other day with 0:38:20.830 --> 0:38:23.860 preferred magician of the show, magic Mike. People might remember 0:38:24.100 --> 0:38:30.760 magician Mike from the mishap with Jack's jumper. Mike left 0:38:30.760 --> 0:38:33.880 his jumper with Jack rather than sending it back. Jack 0:38:33.910 --> 0:38:38.050 unfortunately realized he enjoyed wearing it and contacted the makers 0:38:38.050 --> 0:38:40.629 of the jumper to say, we've run into a problem here. 0:38:40.660 --> 0:38:43.270 Mike wants the jumper back, but I love it. Could 0:38:43.270 --> 0:38:45.719 you send me one? In fact, could you send maybe 0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:47.460 you just send Mike a new one and I keep 0:38:47.460 --> 0:38:49.170 this one? Yes. And then. 0:38:49.200 --> 0:38:53.520 That's then. Then on this show went. Actually, it's a 0:38:53.520 --> 0:38:56.550 little snug. Could the company please send me one? So 0:38:56.550 --> 0:38:58.620 just started to use it at his own personal PA 0:38:58.650 --> 0:38:59.400 system and. 0:38:59.400 --> 0:39:02.340 That's and that's that's all. Fine. That's. We know and 0:39:02.340 --> 0:39:06.300 love Jack for the weaseling. And that's all good. I 0:39:06.300 --> 0:39:09.839 was playing with magic Mike. Right? We're out on the course. 0:39:09.870 --> 0:39:12.839 A guy comes out of the bushes, okay, guy comes out, 0:39:12.870 --> 0:39:15.180 there's a rustling. First I heard a rustling. I was like, 0:39:15.210 --> 0:39:16.230 something's going on in there. 0:39:16.260 --> 0:39:19.800 Just one quick one. Him yeah. Golf is a game 0:39:19.800 --> 0:39:24.509 where people cheat. Not I obviously don't, but people do. 0:39:24.540 --> 0:39:29.550 Is there? It is a shame because it's self-governed. Yep, yep. 0:39:29.640 --> 0:39:32.580 Playing with a magician. Are there, are there there ways? 0:39:32.580 --> 0:39:35.580 Do you think that his skills would allow him to 0:39:35.610 --> 0:39:37.320 cheat more? 0:39:37.830 --> 0:39:40.680 He's an honorable magician. He is. And he. 0:39:41.100 --> 0:39:41.610 Uses. 0:39:42.000 --> 0:39:44.590 He is an honorable magician and he uses his skills 0:39:44.590 --> 0:39:46.989 for good. Like usually only in the hole. 0:39:47.020 --> 0:39:48.370 Oh, another ball in the hole. 0:39:49.510 --> 0:39:52.540 How did that happen? No, there's no Kim Jong un. 0:39:52.750 --> 0:39:56.380 He'll only use his skills to wow and amaze those 0:39:56.380 --> 0:39:59.290 in the clubhouse as he finds decks of cards behind 0:39:59.290 --> 0:40:00.670 their ears. And then he. 0:40:00.700 --> 0:40:03.219 Hangs his magician skills up in the locker room before 0:40:03.219 --> 0:40:03.850 he plays as a. 0:40:03.850 --> 0:40:07.030 Mortal. He plays as a mortal. He goes as you, 0:40:07.270 --> 0:40:09.489 as you, as you, as you would want, as you 0:40:09.489 --> 0:40:12.279 would want. And I'm sure that's the problem that demigods 0:40:12.280 --> 0:40:14.739 and things have to that do have powers. Like, hey, 0:40:14.770 --> 0:40:17.290 today I'm just like you guys, Superman. 0:40:17.320 --> 0:40:18.790 You'd go, hey mate, can you pull back. 0:40:18.820 --> 0:40:21.580 Today I'm Clark Kent. I'm just I'm just a regular guy. 0:40:21.580 --> 0:40:24.009 I'd like to experience the world as you do. Yes. Boy, 0:40:24.010 --> 0:40:25.300 does he do a good job of playing as a 0:40:25.300 --> 0:40:30.070 mortal sometimes. Even though you could use magic to get 0:40:30.070 --> 0:40:31.870 a hole in one, sometimes having up to 8 or 0:40:31.870 --> 0:40:35.920 9 shots per hole, just really just to make the 0:40:35.920 --> 0:40:40.690 rest of us feel so mortal. And it encourages me 0:40:40.690 --> 0:40:43.860 to play Extra mortal, to go look at us. Just 0:40:43.860 --> 0:40:47.760 a couple of flawed humans. Spending an hour on one hole. 0:40:47.790 --> 0:40:50.520 Go back and forth. I've been trying to get the 0:40:50.520 --> 0:40:52.830 ball in. Anyway, so in this particular hole, we hear 0:40:52.830 --> 0:40:55.380 a rustling. Guy comes out of the bushes, right, with 0:40:55.380 --> 0:40:58.560 a giant camera. Wow. Like a giant telephoto lens. And 0:40:58.560 --> 0:41:01.529 I'm like, yeah, this is. Well, I was like this. 0:41:01.530 --> 0:41:06.630 This is not un unlike what a paparazzi set up, right? 0:41:06.660 --> 0:41:09.060 But he's, like, talking to me. Usually paparazzi are just, 0:41:09.090 --> 0:41:11.189 you know, pests that are miles away. You don't you 0:41:11.190 --> 0:41:14.310 don't know where they are. So he's. So then I'm like, 0:41:14.310 --> 0:41:17.580 maybe he's maybe there's someone famous on the course because 0:41:17.580 --> 0:41:19.500 he's like, he comes and he's like, sorry, guys. One 0:41:19.500 --> 0:41:21.750 second and he's walking over to he's like a little 0:41:21.780 --> 0:41:25.800 bit out of conversational distance. Okay. So I'm like, maybe 0:41:25.800 --> 0:41:28.410 there's I don't know, like maybe Trump's playing here or something. 0:41:28.440 --> 0:41:30.629 Like there's like there's someone of note on the course 0:41:30.630 --> 0:41:33.810 and he's looking for a tip. Not that we would 0:41:33.810 --> 0:41:37.440 reveal that. Um, but he's he's coming up and he goes, hey, 0:41:37.560 --> 0:41:41.860 just a quick question, guys. Yes. Do, um, do crows 0:41:41.860 --> 0:41:47.410 ever steal the ball? Like the birds. He goes. Do 0:41:47.410 --> 0:41:51.040 they ever swoop down and steal the ball? And I went, yes. Yep. 0:41:51.070 --> 0:41:55.270 Occasionally that can happen. I've very rarely though. Pretty rare. 0:41:55.300 --> 0:41:57.730 And he goes, do they really? And I go, yeah, right. 0:41:57.760 --> 0:41:59.560 And we're on the we're on the tee box, which 0:41:59.560 --> 0:42:02.410 for Non-golfers, that's the bit where you begin from and 0:42:02.410 --> 0:42:04.570 you hit the ball from. So I go not very 0:42:04.570 --> 0:42:08.440 often here. Like like you're at the tee box. So 0:42:08.469 --> 0:42:10.450 usually there's a human standing next to the ball and 0:42:10.450 --> 0:42:12.279 about to hit the ball with a big club. More 0:42:12.310 --> 0:42:14.919 a crow would go for an unguarded ball, like towards 0:42:14.920 --> 0:42:17.469 the other end of the hole. And he goes, oh, wow. 0:42:17.620 --> 0:42:20.170 So they really do they? I was like, is this guy? 0:42:20.200 --> 0:42:22.750 Is this a wind up? Like my first thought with 0:42:22.750 --> 0:42:24.160 you two, I was like, what's going on here? Because 0:42:24.160 --> 0:42:26.290 this is like, maybe Jack and Andy have set this 0:42:26.290 --> 0:42:29.049 guy up and he goes and he goes, and they 0:42:29.050 --> 0:42:32.650 really they grab it and they fly off with it. Yeah. Well, 0:42:32.650 --> 0:42:35.170 it can happen. He goes, oh, that's what I'm trying 0:42:35.170 --> 0:42:40.030 to get a photo of. That's my. He goes. That's 0:42:40.030 --> 0:42:42.940 my dream shot. That's his dream. That's my dream shot. 0:42:42.969 --> 0:42:45.190 And I was like. And I go, is that what 0:42:45.190 --> 0:42:47.529 you're out here for? He goes, I've been trying. I've 0:42:47.560 --> 0:42:49.420 been trying. But I just didn't know if they really 0:42:49.420 --> 0:42:52.330 did it. Well, they do, but I've got to be 0:42:52.330 --> 0:42:54.910 honest with you, mate. You know, and I didn't tell 0:42:54.910 --> 0:42:56.469 him this. I didn't want to break his heart, but 0:42:56.469 --> 0:42:59.740 I had actually, that morning seen a picture, a photo 0:42:59.739 --> 0:43:03.670 on Instagram of a squirrel on an eagle flying on 0:43:03.670 --> 0:43:06.520 the back of it. I was like, mate, that's what 0:43:06.520 --> 0:43:09.010 you're up against. Just so you know, in the world 0:43:09.010 --> 0:43:12.670 of amazing photos, you are up against a squirrel on 0:43:12.670 --> 0:43:14.830 the back of an eagle. So I don't know if 0:43:14.830 --> 0:43:18.009 a regular old crow with a golf ball in its mouth, 0:43:18.010 --> 0:43:20.710 like I don't want to shit on anyone's dreams. Like 0:43:20.710 --> 0:43:25.450 dream away, dream big. But it ain't the greatest. It's 0:43:25.450 --> 0:43:28.150 not like it's not. It's not like getting, you know, 0:43:28.180 --> 0:43:31.629 like a whale jumping over a dolphin or anything like that. 0:43:32.140 --> 0:43:35.790 This is a very achievable dream. Um, anyway, we went 0:43:35.790 --> 0:43:38.130 on and that's when I did want to. That's when 0:43:38.130 --> 0:43:41.430 I asked Mike. I actually remembered about the Weaseling incident. Jack. 0:43:41.460 --> 0:43:43.140 I said, oh, by the way, where are we at 0:43:43.140 --> 0:43:43.500 with that? 0:43:43.530 --> 0:43:44.219 The jacket. Yeah. 0:43:44.250 --> 0:43:48.510 And and Mike told me that it all seems to 0:43:48.510 --> 0:43:50.910 be well in the world, like the that company has 0:43:50.910 --> 0:43:54.720 sent him, um, a new one, the new jumper. Yeah, 0:43:54.719 --> 0:43:55.200 it did work. 0:43:55.200 --> 0:43:57.210 And they sent me and they upgraded mine from a 0:43:57.210 --> 0:43:59.220 large to an extra large. Right. 0:44:00.750 --> 0:44:04.170 Right. And so then you sent Mike's large to him? 0:44:04.440 --> 0:44:11.640 No. That large that. Because Mike now has a new 0:44:11.640 --> 0:44:12.060 set of. 0:44:12.090 --> 0:44:14.250 Yeah, but that's his jumper. 0:44:14.310 --> 0:44:17.879 Yeah, but but but why would I have to then 0:44:17.880 --> 0:44:20.250 go like he's got a jumper. So the math still 0:44:20.250 --> 0:44:21.660 works out. At the end of the day he's got 0:44:21.660 --> 0:44:22.380 a jumper. 0:44:22.590 --> 0:44:25.290 But now you have two and one of them is 0:44:25.290 --> 0:44:27.390 owned by him. Yeah. Yeah. 0:44:27.390 --> 0:44:29.910 But he's got he's got the exact same I see 0:44:29.910 --> 0:44:31.440 he took a photo of it. He's got the exact 0:44:31.440 --> 0:44:33.609 same jumper. Just knew her. So why would I have 0:44:33.610 --> 0:44:34.930 to go to the post office? Put it in the 0:44:34.930 --> 0:44:35.590 post box. 0:44:35.590 --> 0:44:36.969 Because it's not yours. I suppose it's. 0:44:36.969 --> 0:44:41.200 The. No really. He's got the he's got something better. 0:44:41.200 --> 0:44:43.480 So you have an extra large jumper that those guys 0:44:43.480 --> 0:44:46.420 sent you that's yours. Yeah. And you also have a 0:44:46.420 --> 0:44:49.330 large jumper at your house. Who owns that? 0:44:49.719 --> 0:44:57.940 That is okay. Okay. That is Mike's jumper. But this 0:44:57.940 --> 0:45:00.760 is why I like this in an unusual, like, wrinkle 0:45:00.760 --> 0:45:04.840 in the system. Because you don't usually make a third 0:45:05.080 --> 0:45:09.850 jumper out of nothing. But we have. Yes. So your 0:45:09.850 --> 0:45:11.590 regular rules don't really apply. 0:45:12.760 --> 0:45:16.120 You're not being mortals. You are being magicians. You've made 0:45:16.120 --> 0:45:19.150 a third jumper where before there was two. 0:45:23.290 --> 0:45:26.740 Thanks for listening.
