S1: A listener production.
S2: Activate your internet because the Hamish and Andy podcast starts
S2: in three two.
UU: Sorry, it's still buffering. One.
S3: Ahoy to me! Igneous.
S4: Rock on, baby, I think I know what we are.
S5: To me, sedimentary Jack I'm so annoyed that Hamish got
S5: it straight away. Because I actually overheard Mike at a
S5: dinner party on the weekend, telling somebody that the next
S5: one is going to be rocks, and I put that
S5: in my back pocket, ready to impress everybody.
S4: Mike. Mike said he likes dinner parties.
S3: You may be saying this though. There's a there's an
S3: sportsbet there. People bet which one's going to be every time.
S4: People play it very hard. Yeah. Okay. And so that's
S4: you like the Wordle guy the night before going, hey,
S4: I'm doing Wordle for the New York Times. Guess what?
S4: It's chips.
S5: Also, he doubled down on how hard it was without
S5: any irony. I heard him telling somebody that after his
S5: girlfriend goes to sleep, he could stay up an hour
S5: or two hours after she's asleep thinking of things that
S5: connect with each other, thinking of.
S4: Connections and categories. Oh my gosh Mike, my gosh, I love.
S4: Were you at a dinner? Was anyone at the dinner party?
S4: Did they have a more an impressive job? Was Mike
S4: trying to talk up his the difficulty of his job?
S5: He just people who've heard the podcast and heard that
S5: Mike complains about that section of it was saying like,
S5: but in real life it's not that hard. And Mike says, no,
S5: you don't understand. It's the hardest bit.
S4: Start a go fund me.
S3: I am, of course, metamorphic. We are rocks.
S4: But I like that Jackson sedimentary to. Yes, yes.
S3: Uh, ehm. Of course. Uh, you can always go to
S3: Homestead.com and upload a bit of audio. Very easy to use.
S3: Better than a WhatsApp, uh, of what you've been up to.
S3: And Charlie in London did exactly that.
S6: Ahoy, boys. Uh, this is an Aussie abroad here. Currently
S6: on a gap year. Just thought I'd let you know
S6: that I've tried to adopt Jack's ploy on my own partner.
S4: But I'm just a little boy.
S6: I can confirm this doesn't work when she wants to
S6: go shopping. And I want to watch the NBA playoffs
S6: in a sports bar. Not sure about that one.
S4: Number six.
S6: I also have a big one booked for a Scottish
S6: road trip. Wow. Couldn't believe car rentals could get their
S6: hands on such a scarce, glorious vehicle. Wow. Keep up
S6: the good work. Cheers, boys.
S4: Oh, man. Extra points if you get a shot of
S4: a T1 in front of the Loch Ness Monster. Yeah,
S4: you do. The Scottish road trip. Two of the rarest
S4: beasts on Earth. I think.
S3: The only possible explanation is that it's the owner's car
S3: that is handled like.
S4: The owner of the car rental place.
S3: No, to the car rental place. Who is lending it
S3: out to make a buck? Because there's no.
S4: Way on the form they'll often have, you know, do
S4: you want this Tiguan or similar? Now then you click
S4: through and it'll go, look, obviously we put that on
S4: as a joke. Um, you can't get you'll get. Sorry. Yeah.
S4: Sorry to get your hopes up, but we'd be like
S4: the Batmobile or similar. Like, we we obviously can't give
S4: you that, but we'll try our best. Mm. Oh, boy. Well, Jack,
S4: how is, um, just a little boy going?
S5: I have not said it again since it's been used
S5: on the podcast. It's a brave.
S4: Thing for you to.
S5: Do.
S4: I look back at that. I look back at that reckless.
S4: It was reckless for you. Certainly put it out there.
S4: But I look back at that moment and go, what
S4: are we to do with this? We were all a
S4: bit shocked when we I've seen I've saw the video
S4: of it the other day. I was like, what are
S4: we to do with this? Yeah. What are we? Thank you.
S3: Thank you, thank you. That was all we had to do.
S4: Thank you for a decade of references.
S3: Um, is Bianca aware that you're now no longer using.
S3: She'd be. I'm a little.
S5: Yes. And actually, what she had to say about the
S5: clip that went out was you didn't even do the
S5: full baby boy voice that you do in real life. Really?
S3: There's a.
S4: Voice.
S5: Please. Come on, I can't. Come on. I do love you.
S5: And I love the show, but I shouldn't have even
S5: said that.
S4: Why did you. Why did you use a red light
S4: right there? You know full well what you're doing. What?
S4: Come on. Give us the full baby boy.
S5: I can't, please don't.
S4: Don't tell me. This does involve a bonnet and a rattle.
S3: He's given us enough. I think, Andy, by the end
S3: of the year. By the end of the year.
S4: Now I'm shocked. By the end of the year, it
S4: would be nice to see the full baby.
S3: If the last show, if you can, I don't know,
S3: go to some kind of confidence school or something.
S4: Yeah, just.
S3: Just listen to some affirmations.
S4: To an ayahuasca journey or something. You come back ready
S4: to do it.
S3: That would be amazing.
S4: I actually had one the other day. I was like, oh,
S4: this is one I haven't told the fellows, but it
S4: is all the time. For the while, we're still talking
S4: about jokes. Your partner is not careful any time. So
S4: ask Siri something. I'll try and get in first. Like
S4: if she goes, um, you know, hey, Siri, how many
S4: inches in two meters? She'll go, Hey Siri, and I'll go, yes.
S4: She'll be like, no, no, don't annoy like because she
S4: doesn't want extra voice, but she'll go, how many inches
S4: or whatever, and I'll just try as fast as I
S4: can to be like 48 or, or roughly 48. She
S4: loves it. Hey, while we're on the topic of Jack. Mm. Uh, Jack.
S4: It pains me to bring this up, but I feel
S4: I must report it to the group. Okay. Um. And
S4: I wouldn't do so without evidence, but I have the
S4: evidence in front of me. Mhm. It involves. Although it
S4: wasn't brought to my attention by preferred magician and good
S4: friend of the show, magic Mike. Hashtag not a stripper.
S4: Magic Mike. Actual magician.
S3: Mm. Great magician.
S4: He is a friend of all of ours. He. He
S4: visited you recently? Yes. He went from Melbourne, from Sydney,
S4: where he lives and magics to Melbourne. He's. He's able
S4: to travel anywhere to do gigs, though. By the way,
S4: if you're interested in getting magic Mike, um, and.
S3: Appear there.
S4: Then. Yeah, he can he can if you're, if you've
S4: got a room that can have a smoke bomb go
S4: off in it, he can come. This this is where
S4: we pick up the story though. He obviously played golf
S4: with you in Melbourne. Yes. Oh, great. Look at Jack.
S4: Look at Jack. Trying not to give anything away in
S4: the witness stand.
S3: Yes.
S4: Correct. I have memory of that, sir. This is like.
S4: This is like when when Greg gets interviewed on succession
S4: in front of the Senate committee, um, he then he
S4: obviously brought with him golf gear.
S3: Um.
S4: And he bought a fella's golf. That's the brand quarter
S4: zip top. Yes. That he left.
S5: He accidentally left it in Melbourne.
S4: Did you return it to him?
S5: Not yet.
S3: Do you have any?
S4: If it please the. If it please the court. Andy,
S4: I to answer your question, I say I put to
S4: you that Jack does not have an intention to return
S4: to Mike.
S3: Do you like the jacket?
S5: I started golf this summer and so I've not yet
S5: had a chance to purchase any winter over the top wear.
S4: But sir, you did not purchase this.
S5: So I have been finding it chilly on the golf
S5: course and it's right there in my golf bag where
S5: Mike left it, and I have been wearing it.
S4: Do you intend to.
S3: Return when you house? At my house and started wearing
S3: my clothes.
S4: He doesn't mind. He doesn't mind the clothes. Weasel. Do
S4: you intend to return it, sir?
S5: I don't I in a way, yes. I thought that
S5: we could both benefit from. Well, I.
S4: Have here a screenshot of the direct message.
S3: Hang on, hang on, hang on. What's happened.
S4: Here? I have you a screenshot of the direct message
S4: that Jack sent to the makers of the quarter zip top. No, fellas. Golf.
S4: It says, hey guys, what do I do?
S5: Some things that I do.
S4: Are. Yes, yes, that's what you want to hear on
S4: the witness stand. If you're the prosecution and the defense
S4: witness does that, you just go, guys, book a big
S4: steak dinner for tonight. We've got this.
S3: He's roasted. Okay.
S4: Jack sends the DM to to the golf company, and
S4: he goes, Mike.
S5: Mike had already told me that he got the the
S5: quarter zip for free.
S4: I think he knows that. I think he's friends with
S4: the guys that started this golf brand. Mhm.
S3: Then you could easily go to Mike. Oh I'm interested
S3: in one of these. Can you connect with your friend.
S3: But no you went.
S4: No no. Look at, look at, look at the three
S4: man weave that Jack thought of. Hey, guys, can you
S4: do me a favor? My friend magic Mike was gifted
S4: one of your gray long sleeve golf tops, and he
S4: left it in my golf bag when he was in
S4: Melbourne last. Now he wants me to post it back
S4: to him. Problem is, I've started wearing it, and I
S4: enjoy it too. Like, as if that means who should
S4: own it now because we both enjoy it. So can
S4: you send him a replacement so I can keep his
S4: original laughing emoji? Love, Jack.
S3: No, please no. Prefacing that this is a bit weird,
S3: a huge request.
S4: Well, problem problem problem is, I also like it. Yeah.
S4: How do we solve this? You seem to have a
S4: warehouse full of them. Would you like to solve the
S4: problem by giving me a replacement? So in your head,
S4: I can. I can imagine you're thinking like, oh, Mike
S4: wins out of this because he gets a brand new one.
S4: That's right.
S5: And then I get to keep the one that he
S5: previously had.
S3: Did they write back? They did you get on. How
S3: did you get that?
S4: The guys from the. Yeah the guys from Fellas Golf
S4: have written Saint Gusto to you are right with a
S4: concerned tone. Oh no, he said, I've said Jack said.
S5: They would look after.
S4: It. Jack's Weaseling has taken a dark evolution instead of
S4: the light hearted cry for free peanut butter he's known for,
S4: he's turned to committing crimes. And he's. And he's leveled
S4: up his weaseling. And then they said.
S3: But it's worked. Has it has. Are they sending it out, Jack?
S5: That's what they they told me they would look after
S5: Mike getting a new one.
S4: Well, they right here I'm hoping an intervention, an intervention
S4: might save future victims from this happening.
S3: So here's a question for me. You've got the outcome
S3: you want. You've got some embarrassment, I hope. Has it
S3: been worth it? No.
S5: Okay. No.
S4: We'll see. Will you do it again? No, no, you
S4: don't want to, but you might.
S5: I don't want to. I put I put the laughing
S5: emoji in there so they know that it's like ah
S5: just mucking around. And then they said that they would
S5: actually do it.
S3: You know exactly what you're doing.
S4: It's Just mucking. Just mucking around. This is a formal request, though.
S3: Oh.
S5: And also, I hear the bell. But if we have
S5: time for it, mikes one is a bit small for me.
S5: If they would upgrade to an extra large.
UU: Extra large? Oh.
S4: And I so these continue to roll in. And you know,
S4: I the last thing I want in the world is
S4: to upset you. And I don't know and.
S3: 20 years of effort.
S4: But then sometimes it seems to be what the people
S4: want to do. Um, so let's see if some of
S4: these upset you.
UU: Everything is neat and practical, because that's the way.
S4: He likes it. But what if it wasn't?
S3: Upset, Andy. What can I self report?
S4: Yeah.
S3: You can self report on one something that's upsetting me
S3: at home. Um, and we're in a rental at the moment.
S3: And the cupboard space in the bathroom is limited. Yep.
S3: And it's quite a, quite a short cupboard. And Bec
S3: realised that she can only get her deodorant in and
S3: a few other items if she takes the lid off.
S4: And it just sneaks in, it.
S3: Just gets in, so that's nice. But also just seeing
S3: a little less deodorant, littlest deodorant.
S4: It shouldn't matter. It shouldn't.
S3: Matter. Does it roll on or spray?
S5: I guess that it's a spray. Then it's fine.
S4: Oh yeah. Roll on would matter because you're losing half
S4: a sphere. Yeah.
S3: Half is half a sphere.
S5: Unless you're continuously going in there to move the sphere
S5: around to keep it lubed up, well, then.
S4: It's even worse then you. Yeah, you wouldn't do that.
S4: You keep losing it be evaporating. You're evaporating half a
S4: sphere of dosage. But a spray should not matter. Shouldn't matter? No, but.
S4: But you don't like seeing an uncapped. No.
S3: There's a cap there for a reason. Looks neat.
S4: There's only the reason for capped deodorant is just for travel. Really? Mhm.
S3: Yeah it's true. And I mean it shouldn't matter. It
S3: shouldn't matter.
S4: As we find out with all of these. Um. Yola. Yola, ahoy!
S7: Ahoy, boys.
S4: Ahoy to you. Um, what have you got to upset Andy?
S7: Uh, so I recently went to Ikea and bought a
S7: chest of drawers. It turns out that Ikea only included
S7: one of the two backing panels in the box.
S4: A rare miss.
S7: Yeah. So instead of going back to Ikea to ask
S7: for the missing piece, who's got time for that? Um,
S7: exactly right. I eventually just nailed the one panel I
S7: did receive in the middle of the drawers, so that
S7: both sides were 50% covered in the middle and thus
S7: felt included. Yes. Um, although it does mean there is
S7: now a 25% gap on both outfits.
S4: But I assume I assume I know you don't like it,
S4: but here's the way you make it work. When you
S4: put you obviously got two sides of drawers When you
S4: put things in, do you favor, do you squeeze, squash them,
S4: squash the stuff to the middle. So it's kind of
S4: using the back and less stuff's going to fall out
S4: the back.
S7: Well, I just figured that, um, something just needed to
S7: be there. So there was some unauthorized screwing of males
S7: in unauthorized places.
S4: It just. It just needs a gesture of backing out.
S3: Hard up against the wall. Creating a back might have
S3: looked a bit neater.
S7: It is up against the wall, but I felt like
S7: it needed a secondary wall, if that makes sense.
S3: Yeah. All right.
S4: Any upsets me. Any time you're nailing something from Ikea
S4: that specifically doesn't have nails, you know, you're you've gone
S4: rogue and now you're on your own.
S3: Uh. Thanks, viola. Um.
S4: Jake? Jake? Jake, have you got something to upset? Andy?
S8: Ahoy!
S4: Ahoy, sir.
S8: So recently, we found out that one of my mates,
S8: when he orders an Uber instead of typing in the address,
S8: he'll drop a location for a pin. Mhm. Uh, which
S8: I'm fine with, but only when you get the location. Right.
S4: So he, so he said when he goes this is
S4: where we're off to. He'll just guess the pin or
S4: he'll just sort of pop the pin loosely where you're going.
S3: What are you.
S8: Scroll down to the bottom and there's an option to
S8: set location on the map. And we're heading to Perth
S8: Stadium once. And you can get dropped off at a
S8: bridge at East Perth and walk across. Yeah. But instead
S8: the Uber took us to an industrial zone next to
S8: the three freeway bridge. And when we asked him how
S8: we got there, he said I knew it was narrow bridge. Uh,
S8: but I guess I got the wrong bridge.
S3: I hate that it.
S4: Always takes longer. A rare upsetting that's actually taking longer
S4: to increase complexity. But a good one. A good one?
S3: No, he wouldn't last long.
S4: It was near a bridge.
S3: Yeah, in the far out.
S4: Six days in the Uber Sydney Harbour Bridge. That does
S4: seem a long way away. Haley. Haley. Haley, have you
S4: got something to upset Andy?
S9: Uh, hello? Yes, I do. Um, so, yeah, when my
S9: partner Thomas and I, we moved into our first rental, um,
S9: years and years ago, and we we didn't have any
S9: of our own plates, so my parents had a set
S9: of old plates in storage. So we thought to save money,
S9: we'll grab those. Yeah. Um, and we found out that
S9: the plates were these very large square plates which didn't
S9: quite fit into the microwave. Um, so they do fit
S9: if you put them in squarely. But as soon as
S9: you turn the microwave on, you'll rotate.
S4: Rotate? Yeah.
S9: Um, so they just don't spin in the microwave, which
S9: means that the food doesn't really heat very evenly. Uh.
S4: Just blast it a bit more, don't you?
S9: I don't yeah, exactly. Exactly. We just take it out,
S9: give it a bit of a stir, put it back in.
S4: With enough time, nothing can survive in a microwave.
S3: I don't like that either. I get I have a
S3: problem with things that don't rotate the Michael. I know
S3: it doesn't really matter that much.
S4: You put them on the outside or do you put
S4: it on the inside? Do you put a bowl on
S4: the outside so it gets more rotation? No, I've seen
S4: people do that.
S3: I'm dead. Middle. Is it better to go on the outside? No.
S5: Because then you're the outside of the bowl. Would stay
S5: get hotter than the inside of the bowl, wouldn't it?
S5: Because isn't the microwaves come from the side?
S4: Um, well, they.
S3: Come from the side.
S4: I think they come from all sides. Well, I tell
S4: you what, I'm yet to master my. Here's what I
S4: would like to know about microwaves. Not what we're talking about,
S4: but what what is the setting that means? My bowl
S4: is scorching hot and the chili con carney is freezing
S4: every time I can see the microwave. Like I can't
S4: hold this bowl. But the food has remained untouched.
S3: I think I mean, obviously, I think it's just the
S3: whatever the bowls matter, the ceramics is going to heat
S3: more quickly, but it shouldn't.
S4: Because I think microwaves actually heat water. That's what they're
S4: programmed to do, a program to agitate water. So you.
S5: Got soggy.
S4: Bowls. I must have high water content.
S3: So you can get up to like 1400 watt microwaves
S3: these days. That must be nice. Um, and so this
S3: is again is what definitely an upset Andy. But Beck
S3: will put things in like the rice like, but she
S3: doesn't read the pack and it's actually they say on
S3: 1800 watts. Yep. Do it for calm.
S4: It down.
S3: Two minutes. So if you put it in for 1400
S3: watts two minutes, it comes out just explosive. So you
S3: should calm it down the microwave.
S4: Depending on the wattage, depending on the wattage, you know,
S4: it's got time for that.
S3: No one ever.
S4: No one's got time for that. See, I mean, I
S4: feel sorry for Haley. And look, the thing is, I'm.
S4: I'm an upset. Hamish is a square plate, because. Just
S4: don't try and change the game where it doesn't need
S4: to be changed. There are some areas I'm very welcome
S4: for game changing. We didn't need to change plates up
S4: round works, so I'm kind of with you. Matt. Matt,
S4: finish this off. One more thing to upset Andy.
S3: Oh, hey, boys, how are we?
S4: Very good mate.
S8: Excellent. Um, so this.
S10: Was a couple of months ago, and this got me
S10: absolutely red hot. So I don't know how you're going
S10: to go. Andrew. Um, but I was housesitting my brother
S10: and his partner's house for a couple of weeks. And
S10: in one of their drawers in the kitchen, they've got
S10: a bunch of glassware. It's more like your champagne flutes
S10: and yeah, not your sort of everyday glasses. Yeah, right.
S4: Um, secondary glass, secondary glasses.
S3: I don't like it in a drawer to begin with. Just,
S3: you know. Yeah.
S10: Not off to a good start then.
S3: Particularly champagne glasses. They've got their two tippy. You're adding
S3: it anyway. Yeah. We all know.
S10: So some of the glasses in there were like sundae glasses,
S10: which is sort of like martini glasses. Um, but like
S10: the glasses a little bit thicker. And the lip of
S10: them is uneven, like, I guess it's like a decorative thing. Yeah.
S10: But what they've done is they've put them in the
S10: drawer with the lip side down. The uneven side down? Yes.
S10: So when you open the drawer, they're all, like, wobbling
S10: around and bashing into each other and making a huge racket.
S3: Oh, yeah, I just, I mean, I take them out
S3: of the drawer. Yeah. Be like you said, if they're
S3: meant to be kind of this new fandangled designer, uh, lip.
S4: You and you glass with the youth Gen Z and
S4: their new glasses.
S3: They've got some similar ones recently which are, like, uneven
S3: on the top, like by design. Yeah. And like they're
S3: all handcrafted. Who cares? Like. And then you.
S4: Wouldn't you wouldn't accept a handcrafted car. Sometimes. Sometimes machines
S4: know how to do it better.
S3: Don't put them upside down. That's that's the.
S4: Second. I imagine there would have been more disasters in
S4: the kitchen mat. If that's. I feel like you'd just
S4: be scratching the surface there if that's what they're doing
S4: to their secondary glassware. Mhm. Were they one of these
S4: were they a family that doesn't separate um, forks, knives
S4: and spoons?
S10: No, they did a bit of that, but, um, yeah,
S10: there was a bit of shambles going on. But inside
S10: the same drawer, they've also got these, like, I guess
S10: they're like smoothie glasses, the sort of thing you see
S10: on like, Instagram. Like they're just sort of like a
S10: glass cylinder with a straw in it. So they were
S10: in the same drawer, but they were laying on their
S10: sides as well.
S3: Rolling. No. Yeah. They're rolling around as well.
S4: Mayhem.
S10: Absolute absolute chaos.
S4: Mayhem. Mayhem in that drawer. Yeah I do understand though.
S4: I mean not everyone's got time to have a special
S4: shelf for glasses and, you know, to put them upside down.
S4: But God, it's like it's like when the Titanic hits
S4: the iceberg. You know how, like, all the chandelier's fashion,
S4: everything like that just be like that on a daily
S4: on a daily basis.
S3: Thank you Matt.
S10: No worries boys, thank you.
S3: Hey, I know we said we wouldn't talk about this
S3: for six months. Mhm mhm. Um, but if things pile up,
S3: better off for us to clear it out with regards
S3: to our efforts to get the show on a coin.
UU: I need a dollar, dollar, dollar. That's what I need. Hey, hey.
S3: We've got the best listeners. Great community. Hey, Netcom, if
S3: you ever want to be in touch with us, Robert
S3: Peebles did that. He's in Spain at the moment. And, uh,
S3: he said, I spent the past 18 years running a
S3: print production and sourcing business out of Shanghai. Yep. One
S3: of my clients is the Royal Australian Mint. Here we go.
S3: So he goes, we produce the collectible folders and plastic
S3: blisters he calls them, in which the commemorative 1 or
S3: 2 coins sit.
S4: Interesting. And now I know you surely wouldn't produce any
S4: coins offshore. No country would ever do that. But yeah.
S4: Display cases. Yeah, you could put that offshore.
S3: Yes, I did work on the Wiggles project. Oh, other
S3: projects include the AFL and NRL projects recently.
S4: Yep, we're well aware of those.
S3: Yep. We were talking about how you had to get
S3: 13 million coins out there or something. I think.
S4: 16 was the number I remember being bandied.
S3: Around, he said. Way too high, way too. You've been
S3: over quoted on that front because he's not, um, putting
S3: out that amount of plastic. Uh, he would no blisters.
S3: He would know the quantity. Um, he said, I have
S3: mentioned to the mint of your ambition.
S4: This is this is the bit I like, because this
S4: is where it starts feeling Game of Thrones II, and
S4: it's like he's mentioned to a king in another realm. Yes. Uh,
S4: that we would like to do this.
S3: They have a strict coin design policy.
S4: That's what we're asking to be relaxed.
S3: Well, it can't be that strict. They put an iced
S3: vovo with very little design around it. Anyway, he said
S3: they couldn't take that design, the design that we'd put forward.
S4: Oh, we're not married.
S3: To the design. No. They said they wouldn't be able
S3: to accept that. I don't know, why. Are we going
S3: through some shady back there having to chat with someone?
S3: Just call us.
S4: Call us? We're just saying it could be this. It
S4: could be. That could be anything you want it to be.
S4: Just get the show on a coin. He does.
S3: He does. Go on to say it takes time. You
S3: may want to extend it out to 2028. Now, I
S3: think that's the I.
S4: Thought we were doing a pretty good job giving it
S4: two years. Yes.
S5: Does he say why we can't? Our current design can't
S5: go into a real coin? No.
S3: I guess he says to. He said too much. He
S3: he just he just. If it's because.
S4: My bow is too low, it's not. I could show them.
S4: I could go to the mint and show them the
S4: bow if they're worried because they're like, well, that that
S4: young man looks like he's broken in half. So it's
S4: actually how I bow. It's actually how I bow. So
S4: if it's on, if it's on anatomical error, yes I
S4: politely reject their finding.
S3: We'll check, we'll check. But anyway, that's an update on
S3: that front. You said you had something for me.
S4: Yeah, I got something on the coin front. Even though
S4: it is meant to be well and truly put to bed,
S4: we we're just going to quickly get it out of
S4: bed for a second and brush its hair before we
S4: put it back to bed for six months. For six
S4: months for a big sleep. We obviously the other front
S4: we're looking at, we're trying to approach the we're trying
S4: to approach the mint from all different directions. Jim Chalmers,
S4: Australian Treasurer yes, the federal treasurer.
S3: It is the other front. Sure, at the front and
S3: the sides in the back, please.
S4: Jim Chalmers has been bandied around as the man that
S4: if we could get him firmly onside now, a few
S4: months ago, this popped up and we were like, look,
S4: he's busy with the budget because the budget was coming
S4: out and we just everyone. That's about the time of
S4: the year that everyone's talking about. The treasurer, we knew
S4: he'd be a little bit busy if obviously, if you've
S4: been following the saga, we spoke to the person that
S4: cut his hair or cuts.
S3: His hair like the same hairdresser.
S4: Regular hairdresser, but there was a hole in the alibi
S4: because Andy, you saw him on budget night. Yeah. And
S4: he seemed to have a fresh haircut. Fresh cut. And
S4: then how? The hairdresser we talked to that does his
S4: hair said. Yeah, I actually hadn't seen him for. What
S4: did she say, six weeks. Six weeks. Yeah. Before budget.
S4: That doesn't make sense. That's way too long. Does he
S4: have another hairdresser? Possibly at the back in Canberra? Yeah,
S4: like a bit of a hair and makeup person. Yeah. No,
S4: this is from Mike. All caps message reads my son
S4: cut Jim Jarmusch's hair. Friend has just reached out to
S4: me after I proudly shared a photo of Jim Chalmers
S4: hair on budget night on my Facebook feed, saying, my
S4: son cut this man's hair. So he has shown the
S4: world Jim Chalmers budget night haircut and proud parents. Proud parents. Now,
S4: Mark's not a listener, but a friend of Mark's is.
S4: And she reached out and said, hey, Hamish and Andy
S4: are looking for the treasurer's barber. I don't know why
S4: so much of this campaign is now about the treasurer's hairdresser,
S4: but that's how people are hearing it. So you're looking
S4: for the treasurer's barber? Yeah, because if we can get
S4: the barber, we've got them all now. He goes, well,
S4: my son link cut Jim Chalmers hair a week or
S4: two before the budget. Now that would have been bang
S4: on the budget cut because everyone knows you don't get
S4: it cut that day. You. The best time for a
S4: haircut is about a week after Let it Grow in. Um,
S4: he works on Brisbane's Southside. He didn't like this. His
S4: son Mike, son Lincoln, didn't know who Jim Chalmers was,
S4: but was, of course, professional. A barber's code decrees he
S4: must cut any, cut any man's hair, but he king
S4: or pauper, the wall through the door. And so he
S4: executed his duty with honor, However, I am not sure
S4: what the barber client confidentiality is. Mike is unsure of it,
S4: but we've got Lincoln himself. The man that cut Jim Jones.
S3: Yes, yes. Link. Well, hoy hoy. How are we, lads? Right.
S4: We are good. Now we know this was some time
S4: ago now. But how? First of all, were you happy
S4: with the cut?
S11: Oh, brilliant, mate, it looked fantastic, you know. Started up
S11: nice for him. Made it look good.
S3: Did he come in and say, this is my budget cut?
S3: And with a little bit of a joke being a
S3: budget cut, play on words.
S11: Well, he came in and, you know, sat down. Normal
S11: client interaction. I do sit him down, talk to him.
S11: And at Happy Barbers we like offer free drinks and
S11: nice services and whatnot with our cuts mentioned he was
S11: politician and he's. Yeah. You know something happened in Canberra
S11: and whatnot being a bit secretive. And I was like,
S11: oh yeah, you know, whatever, you know, talking about it.
S11: And then left the shop, did a bit Google search.
S11: I was like, oh, there he is, Jim Chalmers. And
S11: I was like, oh, he looks familiar. And yeah, no,
S11: I found out it was the budget cut.
S4: So it was the budget. The budget, the budget cut. Um,
S4: now link our interest in the treasurer is heavily dependent
S4: on his ability to yay or nay future commemorative $1
S4: coin designs. That falls under his umbrella. Did he give
S4: off any sense? When you were cutting the treasurer's hair?
S3: Not many in.
S4: Words. Many, many weeks ago. Did he give off any
S4: nonverbal sense or verbal or verbal that he would be
S4: interested in relaxing the he, up until now, quite stringent
S4: rules on how someone gets a commemorative coin. Did you
S4: get the it.
S11: Wasn't brought up, but, um, I'm sure I could find it.
S4: Did you get the sense? Did you get.
S3: We don't laugh maniacally after you say that. Link.
S4: I was just like I'm saying, did you get the
S4: sense that he's the kind of guy that would be
S4: up for going, look, we've done things one way, but
S4: there's no way we can't bend it slightly to do
S4: them another.
S11: Oh, he was pretty relaxed, to be honest.
S4: So that's a good.
S3: Sign a great sign.
S11: So it's a good sign for you? It's a good sign.
S3: Link let me put it this way. Did you suggest
S3: a different way of approaching the cut. And was he
S3: open to that?
S11: I did. I actually did. I suggested something different and
S11: he was down for it And I did it. And
S11: he liked.
S12: Boys. It could be a bit early to pop the champagne,
S12: but it's feeling like we're on here.
S4: So he's the kind of guy that's open to suggestions.
S3: Like what?
S12: What was it different?
S3: What was it different? The thing that you suggested. I
S3: just want to get to get a gauge.
S11: I, um, I suggested a different style of cut, so
S11: when it grows out, it looks nicer. And the long
S11: run for him.
S4: Better value. You can go longer between haircuts. So he
S4: likes value.
S3: Okay, good. Good. Um, well that's great. I mean, that's
S3: all we needed.
S4: That's incredible. More than we.
S3: Could have hoped for. That's huge.
S4: Psychological insights. Do you think he's coming back?
S11: He mentioned about not popping back in to see me.
S11: So we'll see what happens.
S4: Link, would you would you be happy to be an
S4: operative for us?
S11: No operative. Look, I can I can sneak some stuff
S11: in there. We'll see what happens.
S4: Suddenly, just suddenly, just just so something like. All right,
S4: I'm Jim Chalmers. I'm getting my hair cut. All right.
S4: I want you linking to subtly bring up with me
S4: the concept of the Hamish and Andy podcast. Getting a
S4: dollar coin. Okay, so let's pretend you're cutting away. Yeah.
S4: And I go, hey, link, I love that suggestion you
S4: gave me last time about the hair growing out. That's
S4: why I haven't been in for a while. It actually
S4: looked really good as it was growing out. Um, any
S4: other any other suggestions or things that you've heard? Well,
S4: I'd bring.
S11: Up bring up the story that my grandfather used to, like,
S11: collect the coins when I was young.
S4: Remember, I'm Jim Chalmers here, so we'll do the role play. So. Oh, right.
S4: Your grandpa used to collect coins. Did he?
S13: Yeah. Yeah.
S11: Well, you know, you weave it in and I'd be. Oh, yeah.
S4: No, don't tell me what you're doing cos I'm Jim Chalmers.
S4: You you're in the first person now. So. Uh. Oh
S4: so I'm Jim Chalmers, remember. Ah, your grandpa used to
S4: collect coins. Did he.
S11: Yeah he did. Oh you know that Hamish and Andy podcast.
S11: I listen to them quite a bit. I've heard they've
S11: been looking about getting a coin to be weird as
S11: a something like that.
S12: Oh, no. Don't don't be sorry.
S4: We. Yeah, right. I'll have to watch out and make
S4: sure I reject that if you think it'd be weird.
S3: Link, I cannot stress enough. We want it to be normal,
S3: as we want it.
S4: To be good as.
S13: Normal.
S4: So try again. Link. Also. Go. Oh, go. Oh, you
S4: used to collect. Your grandpa used to collect dollar coins,
S4: did he?
S13: Yes you did.
S11: And I've, I've been seeing on the, uh, Hamish and
S11: Andy podcast, I've been wanting a coin, you know, two
S11: great Australian icons. They'd be great on one.
S13: Yeah.
S4: That's okay. There we go. Thank you. Yes, it's a
S4: it's what the people want. I'll look into it. Thank
S4: you again for the haircut.
S3: I'm glad we did the rehearsal link. Mate, thank you
S3: for joining us. Really appreciate it. And good luck out there.
S4: We will contact us immediately. If he comes back.
S3: We'll go silent now from our end. Back to bed.
S3: So it's back to you though. Link to alert us.
S13: There.
S12: Easy ways.
S4: See you mate. Bye. You mate. Thank you. Have a
S4: good one. And a couple of weeks ago, you enlightened us,
S4: brought us into the world of extreme empaths.
S3: Yeah, yeah. Which I don't think I am.
S5: I don't think.
S4: So. No, I've never listed that as one of my, um,
S4: gripes against you. Too empathetic. Stop with all the empathy. No,
S4: I don't. I wouldn't call you an extreme empath, but
S4: your girlfriend Beck is your fiance. Beck is. She's one
S4: of the one of the premium examples.
S3: It came from. Obviously she felt sorry for the Castrol
S3: car during the formula one Grand Prix. They had a
S3: V8 race as well and something happened at the start
S3: which meant he missed it and he was 400m behind
S3: and Beck was very upset every time it went past
S3: and yelled at at one point, can't they just all
S3: wait for it to catch up? No.
S4: And if you've seen Disney's cars, you'd know that that
S4: Castrol car would be sad, but you'd also be trying
S4: his best. But then later jerks like Chick Hicks and
S4: stuff would be giving him hell out the back, making
S4: him really letting him know about the fact that he
S4: missed the start. But that is racing. That's racing. Um,
S4: and we got so many emails from people going like,
S4: this is me, this is me as well. I couldn't
S4: believe it. And I think it's I think it's worth
S4: shining a light on people from like, just from people going,
S4: can't stand anyone stepping on a snail because they're cute
S4: and slow and it's not their fault. They're so slow.
S4: Like just, you know, just generic ones like that to
S4: things like this. Um, from Jade. When I'm clothes shopping,
S4: if I carry around an item and then I change
S4: my mind, I still have to buy it because I
S4: feel like I got its hopes up and it'll be
S4: sad if.
S12: I put it back. That's great.
S4: Look at this. This is another one, I mean, like
S4: from Caitlin, when I'm on Instagram or any other social
S4: media site, I have to like every single post. Otherwise,
S4: I feel bad that the other posts have been left
S4: out and they feel sad. Sometimes I don't even look
S4: at the post. I just like it. Otherwise I would
S4: feel bad that it feels sad.
S3: I've got a similar one here from Krystal. I feel
S3: bad for boats that are towing something on the back
S3: like a wakeboarder.
S12: That's a big extra weight. Feels like a real struggle.
S3: I also feel bad for trucks when they go up hills.
S3: They must get tired of.
S12: Hauling all day. We are living in the world of
S12: Thomas the Tank Engine here. It's like all these machines.
S4: Have sad faces. Oh, and they all chat to each
S4: other at night. Okay. Yeah. How's this one feel?
S3: You're feeling.
S4: It? Um, yeah. No feeling you. Pauline. Um, this is
S4: from Pauline. She goes. I have one teaspoon of a
S4: slightly different size to the rest. When I see it
S4: in the cutlery drawer, I always use it first. I
S4: worry it might feel less worthy than its peers because
S4: of its difference in size and shape, and choosing it
S4: above the rest assures the spoon of its.
S12: Welcome position in my drawer. It's beautiful. The runt of the.
S12: It's beautiful. It's a.
S4: Beautiful message to send to the other.
S5: Spoon. It's the Rudolph spoon.
S4: Yes, yes. Tonight you may lead the pudding. Oh, now,
S4: a better analogy.
S3: I don't think it's going to grow into a beautiful spoon.
S4: Oh, a carving knife. If you hold on to that
S4: little spoon long enough.
S3: This is from Amy, fellow empath here with Beck. My
S3: husband and I will buy Arnett's cream favorites that have
S3: five different biscuits for our couples. I can't just pick
S3: one so I always have five. I don't want a
S3: variety to feel left out, but I'm always so full.
S12: For biscuits. But this is the length.
S4: But this is. I mean, God, these beautiful souls amongst
S4: us that you don't. We don't know that this is
S4: going on because we're just munching away on a biscuit,
S4: having a nice time. But people are putting so much
S4: more emotional care into the world. This one really got me.
S4: I was like, I don't even know how this works.
S4: This is from Rory. I think I'm an empath because
S4: when I'm out for a run and I happen to
S4: accidentally land on a crack in the path with one foot,
S4: I'll have to go out of my way to run
S4: onto another crack with the other foot and landed in
S4: the exact same position as the previous footed experienced it. Otherwise,
S4: I'll feel bad that one foot has stepped on a
S4: crack and the other one hasn't. Oh, so.
S3: It's about his.
S12: Feet.
S3: I think he's more OCD.
S4: Well, he's trying to make his feet feel not feel
S4: bad about each other, so he's like it can make
S4: running quite frustrating.
S12: I imagine it.
S4: Can. Tracking all the cracks in the world and making
S4: sure that each foot has had their fair share of cracks.
S3: It's cracking advantage. Or is.
S4: It? I don't know, I think it's more just like
S4: I used to think it's something, but I guess it's
S4: just the foot's had one. They've had a different experience now.
S4: The other foot. With the other foot.
S3: Kayla nominates her dad as an empath. And look, it'd
S3: be fair to say, you know, if you, you know,
S3: if we talk about genders, obviously there's all types. Um,
S3: but more females have been have written in for this.
S4: We are seeing a few more girls, not tons of
S4: blokes writing for this.
S3: Her dad, he said he will rotate his socks evenly
S3: through the sock drawer. He'll never wear one again until
S3: everyone's had a go.
S12: Really?
S4: Because he doesn't want them to feel.
S3: Doesn't want him to feel left out.
S4: He just wants him to all know that he cares
S4: about them.
S12: How could you possibly do that?
S4: I reckon I never do that. I have hundreds of
S4: socks because I go through spurts of worrying that I'll
S4: run out of socks. So I just have socks. Security
S4: is what I care about. Then I have almost like
S4: the mantle of the earth. I have like a, I
S4: have a very deep sock drawer and a layer that I've.
S4: I haven't looked under for years, but may well have
S4: some of my favorite socks in it. But then about
S4: the nine pairs I enjoy, they rotate around like topsoil, yes,
S4: but as you dig down into the crust, you will
S4: find some of the ones from Covid that I bought.
S4: They're still in there. They're doing a very important job.
S4: They're holding up the topsoil, but I'll never dig down
S4: that deep. I just want to say this off the top.
S4: We don't laugh at names. We don't laugh at names anymore.
S4: We don't laugh at names. Gone are the days. I mean,
S4: we have laughed. We've all been. Many decades ago, Bart
S4: Simpson created a career out of laughing at names. Is
S4: huge ass there. You know. Hey, guys, I'm looking for
S4: a huge ass. Now we all laughed. Yeah, we all
S4: laughed in the 90s. Then we learnt you don't laugh
S4: at names. You didn't ask for that name. If there
S4: is a huge ass out there. He didn't ask for
S4: that name. Well, we did do.
S3: A whole series of pranks where we'd ring like a
S3: regional sports team or like, uh.
S4: That's true. Yes. And we'd go like, you know. Yeah. Chips. Mcgibbons.
S3: Yeah. And the whole point.
S4: Was Simpson or whatever. The whole point.
S3: Was you or I were to hold up. Yes, uh,
S3: a silly name.
S4: Yeah, but that was actually about not laughing at names.
S12: Well, because we had to.
S4: We had to get through it without laughing. So I'd
S4: say that was still under the rules of we don't
S4: laugh at names now. So that's I understand that rule.
S4: So imagine my surprise when, against all odds and against
S4: my best wishes, I did laugh at a name the
S4: other day, and I wasn't expecting to laugh at a name,
S4: and I didn't laugh loud. But it did get this.
S4: It got a got a.
S12: I know the type of.
S4: I know the top. And I looked at Zoe to
S4: see if she'd heard and she hadn't heard it. And
S4: I was like, this is one of the ones. We
S4: were at the airport. So I was like, she's busy.
S4: And I was like, do I share this? Um, she's busy.
S4: My brain always thinks comedy will, like, will rule. No
S4: matter how busy Zoe is. There's a voice in my
S4: head that goes, no, she'll find this funny.
S12: Stop her.
S4: Tell her. Tell her your funny thing. And it's never right.
S4: So we're checking in, we're checking in. And there's a
S4: very professional man there who actually has a, like, a
S4: normal sounding like, well, not normal, a un un unusual,
S4: a common, unremarkable, unremarkable surname. No such thing as normal.
S4: We love all names, but just not a name that
S4: you would look twice at. However, in this setting, you'll
S4: see why it gets the laugh. He's like, he's like
S4: 50 years old. Like I'd say, I don't know, finance. Like,
S4: looks like he's important. And it's like at the the
S4: check in desk.
S3: The Qantas thing must probably, probably be business class check in.
S4: Uh, not for me. No check in with kids. So
S4: you have to line up. And it must be very
S4: nice for you guys just dumping bags and straight to
S4: the business lounge, but I unfortunately, I'm in the cube
S4: common manning it, But I.
S3: Doubt that.
S4: Even though we had a valet and.
S12: They were doing it while I.
S4: Was sitting on my, I was sitting on the back
S4: of the tractor waiting to be driven to the gates,
S4: does all the check in and hand the thing back
S4: and then go. There you go, Mr. Bean. Enjoy.
S12: Oh that's funny. It's good. Enjoy the flight, I. Oh. Yeah.
S12: Did he not speak?
S3: Did he go?
S12: Did have a little teddy bear. But I was like,
S12: see this guy?
S4: This guy's Mr. Bean.
S12: He's. He's put up with that his whole life.
S4: And I felt bad because I was like, if he
S4: sees me laugh, he knows what I'm laughing.
S12: Yeah, exactly.
S4: It's like when tall people get told they're tall. It's like, yes,
S4: I'm aware I'm tall. Like, he knows he's Mr. Bean.
S12: He's Mr. Bean. That's tough for him. He's he's got
S12: he's got to deal with that. And he didn't.
S4: Didn't look like.
S3: Did his luggage have three wheels? No. That was, that
S3: wasn't Mr. Bean's.
S4: Car, was it. That was his nemesis.
S12: His nemesis. I got.
S4: To watch. I got to watch out for that guy.
S4: But it did. I was like, am I laughing because
S4: I'm laughing because I'm. Or am I thinking of Rowan Atkinson?
S4: And he's funny and Mr. Bean is funny. And that's
S4: why I'm laughing. Or I'm just laughing because this guy
S4: is Mr. Bean.
S3: So did he register? You go there.
S13: Mm mm.
S4: I think I got away with it. Yeah, I think
S4: I got away with it. But then again to to
S4: my point then I was like, hey. So you know,
S4: she's like got kids bags. I was like, I don't know.
S4: His first name is his last name is bean. Yes.
S12: So when the.
S4: Then the person had the ticket, you get Mr. Bean.
S12: He's like just.
S4: Crickets. Like.
S5: And she not saying Mr. Bean.
S12: I don't think so, Jack.
S4: I think I think, yeah, she must have missed it
S4: because it was a very funny.
S2: Thanks for listening to the Hamish and Andy podcast. Will
S2: return next week. Catch up or contribute at Hamish and Andy. Com.
