S1: A listener production.
S2: Activate your internet because the Hamish and Andy podcast starts
S2: in three two.
UU: Sorry. Still buffering. One.
S3: Ahoy to be General practitioner. Hamish GP, HP, at your service.
S3: Ahoy to me! Locum tenens. Oh, he likes to go
S3: to houses. He'll bill by the hour mark. Ahoy! Do
S3: you know what a locum is, Mike? No, it's a
S3: house doctor. My friend from the olden days. A fill
S3: in physician. So I thought you're filling in for a teacher. Yeah. Good. Oh.
S3: Very good. You're the locum panel guy. Because, Jack, as
S3: we say in the medical game, you'd be familiar with
S3: this as a locum doctor. His wife doth have pushed
S3: out a child. Aha! Aha! So you're on the Butts
S3: Today podcast. Mike. Never has someone sat higher. Oh, are
S3: you standing? No, no. I thought you were standing on
S3: a crate. You're so high. The seat so high.
S4: I'm actually kneeling on the seat because I can't see
S4: you guys if I'm sitting normally.
S3: So why would you ask? He's on his knees. It's
S3: like he's paying us to adjust. I just thought.
S4: I don't know, I didn't want to disrupt you guys.
S4: You seem pretty focused.
S3: You were speaking down into a microphone that was hanging
S3: really on a high seat, but you were in the position.
S3: And if. And people might remember that we are known
S3: as the three wise men. As as Brother Joseph. Jack
S3: has his child, Baby Jesus, in the manger with his
S3: wife Bianca. Mary, you are in very much a biblical
S3: kneeling position, like you're kneeling for the baby's arrival.
S4: Well, if I sit down, I can't, I don't know.
S4: I just don't really have a vantage point.
S3: That's a man sitting across from two other men. To
S3: be honest, I can see you. Fine. I'm sorry.
S4: Guys.
S3: But why do you need a vantage point just to see.
S4: You guys.
S3: Forward century? You don't need to have a high ground
S3: offensive firepower position over us. There are not other podcasters
S3: that are going to storm the studio and try and
S3: use the microphone. I just don't feel comfortable if I'm
S3: in a non defendable position. Are you going to tip
S3: oil on us?
S4: No, but there's.
S3: We try and get at the buttons.
S4: If it's okay. I'd prefer to kneel. I just feel
S4: more comfortable kneeling. I just feel like I can see
S4: you better.
S3: You defend the Saxon castle however you see fit. We
S3: promise as Vikings that we'll just stick to the coast.
S3: It's always fun when Jack's away. Um, uh, we should
S3: catch up with Jack later on. But he. He has
S3: had a child. You're on the buttons. He's on the
S3: bloody bottles. Um, we should also say Ahoy to Jess
S3: from Texas.
S5: Ahoy, Hamish, Andy and Jack. This is Jess from Texas
S5: in the US. I just let my donkeys out of
S5: the barn, which is absolutely not a front for an
S5: illegal brewery. During this prohibition era, my hope for all
S5: of us is that this ridiculous amendment is ratified by
S5: the time this upload reaches you all, so that we
S5: can all enjoy adult beverages legally and together again. And
S5: also so I don't get caught bootlegging. Okay, bye.
S3: So during the prohibition era, sent it? No, the website
S3: is faster than that to upload. Doesn't sound like it,
S3: because that isn't it. These time capsules we get from
S3: the past, which are now just hitting our servers. You
S3: hear the desperation in people's voices and you want to
S3: reach back in time and go, thank you for listening.
S3: Stick with it. You'll be able to enjoy a legal
S3: tipple soon. Um, hey, we're going to move on because
S3: there's so much of the show to get through today.
S3: But we do have we do have that actually podcast
S3: Mike is in the button pushing position because something off
S3: the top we need to discuss with you, Mike. This
S3: has been this is probably a great chance to get
S3: to kind of dig a bit deeper on Mike related issues,
S3: because people would know Mike ducks in from time to time,
S3: usually if there's some sort of Japanese mega franchise involved,
S3: whether it's Pokemon or Nintendo or anything, anything related to
S3: that world, but you also do a lot behind the
S3: scenes too. Um, we call you podcast Mike because you
S3: used to be known as radio Mike. You also do
S3: work on A&E show the 100. You're really cross-platform, Mike,
S3: aren't you?
S4: Multimedia. Yeah. Multimedia.
S3: Multimedia. Mike. Multimedia. Mike. Um. Okay. On the very first
S3: show we had back this year, we had things we'd learned.
S4: Yes.
S3: And and I'd.
S6: Learned that you sang Green Day in your audition. Uh.
S4: Give me Novocain.
S6: Yeah. For a choral.
S4: Group. Vocal ensemble.
S6: Yeah. Do you feel like the fact that you had
S6: a half scholarship for singing at school. It's part of
S6: your identity, isn't it?
S4: I think so. It's a foundational part of my identity. Yeah. Yeah.
S4: It would have. It would have been. I don't think
S4: about it a lot. Just. Only on this show really
S4: do I think about it.
S3: You don't wake up and go. You got this each
S3: morning in the mirror and you go, well, I'm in.
S3: That paid for me. It was probably the first time, though.
S3: You could equate performing with financial reward.
S6: Yeah.
S3: And not a lot of 13 year olds can do that.
S6: And then every semester you get re, uh, tested. Yeah.
S3: That was the that was that shocked us, didn't it?
S3: That was on the first show where you were like, even.
S6: Through your pubescent era where your voice changed, you were
S6: still good enough to receive the half scholarship.
S4: Yeah. I was told I had a really good gear shift,
S4: which is where you can change between the the boy
S4: soprano voice to a.
S3: Prepubic toast pubic. Yeah.
S4: It was well, they called it gear shift.
S3: Sure. You can't say pubic too much around, I imagine
S3: as a high school teacher, without it, you know, beginning
S3: to feel like you should be finding another word.
S6: Um, it shocked me this week, Mike, When I found
S6: out that a good friend of mine, Tyson, is also
S6: a DJ called DJ generic. Also went to your school
S6: and was also on a scholarship for singing.
S4: Oh, my brother knows him. Does he? Okay. I think
S4: I think.
S6: Okay, because I think he joins us now. Would you
S6: mind putting, putting putting us through. Um, are you worried
S6: that he's going to come in and steal your thunder?
S4: No, I'd love to chat to him. Okay, that sounds interesting. Nice.
S3: What do you guys call each other? Um, like, you know, scholarship.
S3: The scholar, choral scholarship holders. Do you. Do you have
S3: a fun name, like, you know, the semiquavers or, like,
S3: did you have a did you have a, like, a name?
S4: You used to call them choir chums? Actually, we used
S4: to call them choir chums.
S3: Yeah. This is an exclusive, I think.
S6: On choir, and thought it sounded like chums, like, come on. Yeah, because.
S4: I guess so.
S6: You don't really, you know, a.
S3: You don't have any. I mean, yeah, I don't have
S3: any chums from other activities in my life. Like, not
S3: too many. I was just in the pub with one
S3: of my beer chums.
S6: Um, well, I'm. Tyson joins us now. Uh, Ahoy to you. Tyson.
S3: Ahoy, boys. Good on you, Tyson. Um, and we believe
S3: we've got a question for you here. Um, question. Mike.
S4: Hey, Tyson. How are you?
S3: I'm good. Mike, how are you doing?
S4: Really well.
S6: Now, first question I'd like to know, Ty, is, were
S6: you on a full scholarship or a half scholarship?
S3: Well, when I first started.
S7: In grade five, in 97, I was on a quarter.
S7: And then it. Then it moved up.
S3: They're frugal, aren't they?
S7: Yeah, I know. And then. And then they moved up
S7: to a half.
S6: Really. So that is that because you reckon they weren't
S6: getting the type of voices they needed just for a
S6: quarter offering.
S7: Yeah, definitely. It was it was a scam. Like it
S7: was a lot of work for not much reward.
S3: Did you or did you outperform and you were at
S3: risk of being poached by another school? Yeah. And they
S3: had to increase their salary cap a bit to keep
S3: you and put you on a half.
S7: As much as I'd like to lie and say yes,
S7: that was the correct response. No, it was just, uh,
S7: I think they just wanted to give back to a
S7: little bit more to the boys that were doing so well,
S7: because singing for God, because you do.
S3: Well and he would appreciate it. And you do hear
S3: you do hear all those stories. I mean, it's just
S3: it's such a well worn story of, you know, there's
S3: the kid in year six, you've got the choir scouts
S3: from another school sitting the parents down. Hey, we want
S3: to poach this chorister. There's huge money in choirs. Who
S3: do we go with?
S6: So there you go, Mike. I wanted to see if
S6: someone had out scholarship to you, but no, they're all
S6: on half.
S3: Because Mike Tyson, Mike's, um. Uh, he ascertains he's stuck
S3: by this the whole time because we always say, oh,
S3: you obviously weren't that good at singing. You're on a
S3: half scholarship. And he claims, no, no, that is the
S3: maximum amount of scholarship that you could get for singing work. Now,
S3: can I add another? Can I throw another cat amongst
S3: the pigeons Here. Go for it. I was recently at
S3: the pub with a beer chum of mine whose name
S3: is PK. You guys might know PK, former head of
S3: your school. Former head boy. Do you know PK? You
S3: guys would have been similar year level.
S4: I don't.
S3: And I asked him. I knew this chap was coming
S3: up and I said, hey, quick question about high school.
S3: One of our friends, Mark, was on a half scholarship.
S3: He's like, oh, congratulations, you're good. But could you get
S3: more than that?
S6: What did he say?
S3: He said, look, I think you could.
S4: But not for singing. No.
S3: And that's what. So I pressed Mark and I said,
S3: and I said, yeah, but maybe you're thinking of sports
S3: or or academic. Yeah. He goes, no, I think you
S3: could get falls for all available. And that's from a
S3: head boy, Mike Tyson.
S6: What do you think about that?
S7: Uh, well, considering that when you were talking to PK,
S7: it was probably in an inebriated state, I think his
S7: recollection of events might be slightly mistaken. So some pushback here.
S3: Some pushback here from the quad. But I mean, a
S3: head boy. A school captain outranks the chumps. I would
S3: have thought in terms of testimony we can believe. Yeah,
S3: but you.
S6: Can't know every scholarship, can you? As a head boy, it's.
S3: I think it's your job.
S4: There's there's lots of us out there. So any choir
S4: chums listening? If you're on a full scholarship, write in.
S4: Prove me wrong.
S3: Okay, okay.
S6: That'd be nice. I'd love to see some alpha choir.
S3: Do you know what? And I and I and I real.
S3: I hope people can understand what I'm trying to say here.
S3: I hope we don't get our emails flooded by people
S3: making very convincing cases. They went to high school with
S3: you guys and saying they're on a full scholarship. Okay,
S3: so that's not what we want. We don't want to
S3: have to be sifting through those and reading them out
S3: on the shelf.
S6: Um, Tyson, did you have to re-audition Semesterly to retain
S6: the scholarship? That is, that seemed like it was a
S6: bit of a Pinocchio.
S7: Absolutely. Never. Oh, never at all. Never had to do that.
S7: It was once. Once you're in. We were in. Wow.
S4: And did you go through to year 12?
S7: Yes I did.
S4: Oh, there you go. Look. Hand on heart. Every semester,
S4: all of us. I spoke to a couple choir chums
S4: during the week, and they were like, yeah, I remember
S4: having to do that. Well, what.
S6: Year did you finish, Mike?
S4: 2012.
S6: What year did you finish?
S7: Tyson. Oh four.
S3: It's got more competitive, so it's got more competitive in
S3: the summer. Somewhere in that eight years, the school's gone. Hey,
S3: you know what's fun? Making these guys shit themselves for
S3: their spot? Let's get him in daily. Let's get him.
S3: Let's let's let's invent words like gearshift and see how,
S3: you know, like, let's get in their head. Okay.
S6: Final one. Tyson. Yep. If you were on a scholarship,
S6: did it guarantee you a position in any other choir? Yeah.
S6: Or did you have to audition or. And was the audition?
S3: What was your what was your quartet?
S4: Uh, no, it was the senior vocal ensemble. That's not
S4: a quartet. Yeah, senior vocal ensemble.
S6: Sorry.
S3: I thought it was like the B sharps.
S6: Mike reckons that he had to audition. I was saying
S6: that there's no way if they're spending money on singers,
S6: that they're not going to include them because they look bad. Yeah,
S6: it's mud on their face if they don't make it.
S6: So Mike has probably got sifted through. Uh backdoored. Um, Tyson,
S6: is that a fair assumption?
S7: Yeah. We didn't have to audition for the senior choir. Um,
S7: at all. We were. It was actually compulsory that as, um,
S7: cathedral choir members, you had to do the senior choir,
S7: which was on Wednesday afternoons. And the interesting part about
S7: Mike's not just.
S3: Nodding his fist pumping.
S7: Vance Joy and Chet Faker were actually in the senior choir.
S7: They volunteered their time and effort, and I distinctly remember
S7: telling them, what are they doing? They're wasting their time.
S7: They're going to do nothing with singing. And so Vance
S7: Joy and Chet Faker.
S6: Were at your school, and neither of them were on
S6: a scholarship for singing.
S7: Neither.
S3: You got to question the scouts. You've got to question
S3: the scouts. And Mike won't even pump out three bars
S3: of Green Day for us for the song. Now, Meanwhile,
S3: bands join selling out international tours. Yes, Chet Faker is
S3: doing well as well. The Scouts are off. They are
S3: well off. Yeah.
S6: Rubbish.
S3: Rubbish. Because look at the two. The two guys that
S3: they did give scholarships to have gone and made a
S3: career out of pressing buttons. You've got Mike pressing buttons
S3: over here. You've got Utah International DJ pressing buttons over
S3: in your corner. So they, they they understood. Some boys
S3: like music and and have an ear for melody. Just
S3: can't produce it with their mouths yet. Other boys at
S3: the school could produce it with their mouths and they
S3: went under the radar.
S6: Thanks, Tom.
S3: See you buddy.
S7: No problems guys.
S3: Man.
S7: By.
S6: The time it's 2022 and we haven't played this yet.
UU: Hit me with your best chat. Natter away.
S3: Chit chat. Champion. I didn't tell.
S6: Mike to have that ready. I didn't. I didn't even
S6: point to him. How smooth. When Jack's not here.
S3: He hears these things. And that's the advantage of working
S3: across so many platforms of media. It's just multimedia. He's in.
S3: He doesn't get thrown. He can hear audio, but he
S3: also still knows how to navigate visual. Yeah.
S6: And he senses.
S3: Online.
S6: Um, chit chat champions. If you out there think you're
S6: the best at small talk, we'll put you to the
S6: test and pit you against someone live on the show today.
S6: Yasmin joins us. Ahoy to you.
S8: Ahoy, boys. How are you going?
S3: Very well.
S6: Very good. Yasmin, what line of work is it? Or
S6: is it more of a social situation that you're great at?
S6: Small talk.
S8: Um, no. I worked on reception at a psychology practice,
S8: and there was a lot of small talk there. So
S8: people usually pretty anxious when they call up or come
S8: in and.
S3: Well, if you're going, if you're going in to see
S3: a psychologist, it is kind of the unspoken responsibility of
S3: the receptionist to keep the vibe up. Yeah. You can't.
S3: You can't be having too many awkward moments with people. Um,
S3: for them to be going, oh my God, what's.
S6: Your go to question? Because you can't go, well, what
S6: are you here for? So, so so that's what what
S6: have you been up to or how have you been?
S6: Obviously that's you.
S3: Gotta go external, don't you? So what's your go to question?
S6: Um, go to usually.
S8: How's your day been sort of thing. Just keep it casual.
S8: Make them feel comfortable. Yep, yep.
S3: It is. I mean, I had someone the other day
S3: give me the I said, you know, how have things been?
S3: And they're like not great. You're like, okay, well let's
S3: talk about that. But you're not ready. You're actually not
S3: you're actually not often ready for a not great. It's
S3: really it adds a bit more to the conversation.
S6: Well Yasmin, you are well equipped. Equipped then, uh, Carlo
S6: is your nemesis for today. In the next three minutes. Carlo,
S6: how are you?
S7: Oh, boys. Happy birthday, Andy, and congrats on the SP.
S9: Hamish.
S3: Hello. He's come fully loaded. Uh, appreciate that. Carlo. Obviously. Um,
S3: scientifically correct of you to notice it, but I am
S3: trying to put it behind me.
S6: Uh, Carlo, talk us through it. Um, how come you're
S6: so good at chit chat? Do you think.
S9: Our well fella's on a daily basis? I cut old
S9: people's grass, so I've had many a yarn. So you're
S9: a lawn mower?
S6: It's not a you. That wasn't a euphemism or analogy,
S6: was it? You just you go out and actually mow lawns.
S9: Oh that's upbeat. Up to you to decide.
S7: Andy mate. Okay.
S3: Sounds like sounds like Carlo enjoys a bit of both,
S3: but that's good. Carlo. All right. So are you chatting
S3: to the owners of the lawns or neighbors or anyone
S3: that'll stand still long enough?
S9: Oh, anybody that wants to come up and have a chat, mate,
S9: I'm ready.
S6: He really feels like he's away. Okay, Carlo, we'll put
S6: you on hold first. Yasmin, you'll be up. Uh, Carlo
S6: can't hear this. Are you ready to go?
S8: Yep. I'm ready. All right.
S6: Let's go. Oh. Hey, Ham, did you hear that? Tom
S6: Brady is coming out of retirement.
S3: Well, I know he said he's got unfinished business.
S8: Oh, Tom Brady, um, I haven't really heard about him
S8: too much. Um, what's he. I wonder what he's getting
S8: up to when he's getting out of retirement.
S3: Well, coming back to play football, he's.
S6: Probably coming back to play in the NFL, where he's
S6: probably the most remarkable and memorable name to ever throw
S6: a gridiron.
S8: Oh, no, I don't I don't know who he is.
S3: Unlucky. Very good one. I mean, they're good. A good scramble.
S3: A good scramble for cover. But a and a good.
S3: I wonder what he's getting up to.
S6: Um. Um, what's the what's the name of the guy
S6: that sings up there? Cazaly.
S3: Oh. No idea. Mike. Brady. Brady.
S6: Sorry, I was just. I thought you may have travelled
S6: down that path for a second if you didn't know. Thomas. Uh, Jasmine,
S6: it wasn't great, but it doesn't mean you're out of
S6: contention because things can freeze. No, because things can go
S6: horribly wrong in this segment for people. But we'll put you.
S6: We'll put you on hold, and it's back to Carlo. Uh, Carlo,
S6: how are you? Ahoy! You didn't hear that, did you?
S6: Not at all. Remember, you cannot reply with a question.
S6: That's the part of chit chat.
S3: It has to be adding the interesting next piece of conversation,
S3: and we will be judging it on just that. How
S3: much did it move the conversation and was it interesting?
S6: Good luck my friend. Got it, got it. Oh hey
S6: did you hear Tom Brady's coming back. Yeah.
S3: He says he's got unfinished business. Always.
S9: I am a massive Patriots fan. Send me to the
S9: send me to the Super Bowl any day of the week.
S3: Oh. I love the confidence.
S6: I can't send you any day of the week. It's
S6: one day a year, I love it, true love.
S3: The confidence and a few a few interesting elements there
S3: from Carlos. Huge Patriots fan. That's not who Tom Brady
S3: plays for anymore. But that's okay. That's all right. But
S3: then the devil send me to the Super Bowl. I
S3: do like treating the send me to the couldn't remember
S3: the name of the big game.
S6: The two goes at the big name followed by Sammy
S6: to the Super Bowl any day of the week. This
S6: is miraculous, but I think Jasmine's won.
S3: You reckon?
S6: What do you think?
S3: I mean, it's it's interesting, isn't it? I mean, I
S3: love color. I like treating the people you're in a
S3: conversation with as if, like, I know we used to
S3: have a radio show, but. As if they're a radio show. Like,
S3: you know, I want those tickets. Send me to the
S3: Super Bowl.
S6: Look, it was. Neither of you were elite. So that's
S6: something for you both to reflect on. You can both
S6: get a token of no value.
S3: I think it's I think it's two tokens of no value.
S6: It was it was fantastic today. Guys, thanks very much
S6: for playing.
S3: Thanks. Thanks, guys.
S6: Game podcast. Mike. Multimedia. Mike. Actually.
S3: Multimedia. Mike.
S6: Mike is kneeling still, uh, and very high in the
S6: seat because Jack is away. Uh, he has had child.
S6: He has, uh, congratulations to him, Bianca. And he joins
S6: us now. Jacko. How are you, buddy?
S10: Hello, team. How are you?
S3: Good to speak to you. Oh, Jacko. Celebrate good babies.
S3: Come on.
S10: Isn't Mike meant to play the kind of music? Why
S10: isn't he playing anything?
S3: Yeah, well, he's no Jack. He's. No, he really is. No, Jack.
S3: The studio is so organized this morning, and we came in.
S3: Carly was like, oh, Mike, did you already do that?
S3: I mean, it's really we're like two hours ahead on
S3: a show that normally takes us an hour. Hey, Jack. Congrats.
S3: How is everything going? How's how's the young fella?
S10: He's great. He's so good. It's, um. It's been a
S10: whirlwind and a chaotic few days, but he's happy. He's healthy.
S10: He's got all the tics from the doctors, and, uh,
S10: we're back home again. So everything's going well? Yeah. What's.
S6: What's been your biggest surprise?
S10: Um. Oh. When people say, like, they they just don't
S10: sleep sometimes they really don't. And I don't know why
S10: that didn't sit like I don't know why I wasn't
S10: ready for that. We tried, I guess in the back
S10: of my mind I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
S3: They'll have to get tired eventually. They don't.
S10: You guys don't you know about that thing where you like,
S10: pat them and hold them and pat them, and then
S10: they'll go to sleep after that. But sometimes they just don't.
S3: And that's. Those are the moments where you go, oh,
S3: that's this thing's mine. Yeah. I have to sort this out.
S3: The the fun. Look, Jack, I saw the beautiful. You know,
S3: you sent us some amazing photos. Gorgeous picture of, you know,
S3: you and B and she clearly done an amazing job.
S3: You're there with your job. You're there with your boy.
S3: It's the day one photo. I just want you to
S3: mark these words, okay? Because I've looked back at my
S3: day one photo with sunny, who's now nearly eight years old.
S3: I've looked back at my day one photo of my
S3: first born, and you will absolutely think, and you're ripe
S3: for it. In your photo, you're going to think, gee,
S3: I had a lot of hair and gee Not a
S3: lot of it was gray. I was a young man.
S3: Look at that. I was a boy. I was a
S3: boy with a baby. And I look back. I look
S3: back at my day one photo now, and I go,
S3: was I dyeing my hair? I just I guess I
S3: just had no gray hair.
S6: Just just some.
S10: Sleep. I already felt like I've aged since that photo
S10: because I guess on the first night they sleep a lot.
S10: Like the first time they're out, they sleep like six
S10: hours at a time. So that was taken the next
S10: morning and I was fresh. I was like, this isn't
S10: so hard.
S3: I got this, I thought I would, I thought, I
S3: thought I'd be the best at this. I had an.
S6: Inkling to be.
S3: Natural. I did have an inkling of the parents was
S3: looking for. How are you going, Jack? With the learning,
S3: the holds of the baby. And like, is it, is it,
S3: is it? Are you nervous, like with the baby in
S3: your arms now, or are you guys sinking into one
S3: one thing now?
S10: Bianca is very careful with him. I feel like I'm
S10: already cavalier and, you know, throwing him up and down
S10: and moving him with.
S6: One finger like a basketball.
S3: Trick. Baby moves all around the world. I mean.
S6: How many babies had you held before this? Because my
S6: first baby two weeks ago. Wow. Yeah.
S10: Honestly, not many, but my brother just had a baby
S10: nine months ago, so that was kind of a great training.
S10: I even changed his nappy, so I had to change
S10: one nappy. Held him a couple of times. You ready?
S10: And I'm ready to go.
S3: Basically it's basically like, um. Yes, we had a flat
S3: tire once, so I think I'm ready to drive formula one. Jack,
S3: I remember one of my one thing that's always stuck
S3: in my mind, and I actually still say this to
S3: sunny in my head and out loud at home, and
S3: he doesn't know why. When we first had sunny. So again, like,
S3: we're talking like, seven years ago. Yeah. You and I
S3: live very close to each other in Fitzroy, in Melbourne. Yeah.
S3: And I reckon sunny was like a month old. And
S3: so I was like, look, we're in a routine now.
S3: I've got him in the pram and I get like
S3: at this specific time of day. If I take him outside,
S3: he'll sleep. And if you want to catch up, let's
S3: do that. So I met you and Bianca at a
S3: coffee shop. Yeah. And I had sent him the pram,
S3: and it was. And he had slept. He was asleep
S3: when we got there, and then he kind of woke up,
S3: and I think it was maybe the first time you'd
S3: seen sunny. Yeah. And you were not skilled in the
S3: way of the baby, as you mentioned. You hadn't met
S3: too many babies. He opened his eyes. I was like, oh, look,
S3: he's awake if you guys want to meet sunny. And
S3: he appeared in the in these, like, stroller, these little
S3: bassinet and you just went, hello, young man.
S10: The king of the kids.
S3: And I still say that to sunny sometimes in the morning,
S3: like you come into the kitchen or something, and I
S3: say he doesn't really know that I'm saying it because
S3: of you, but I always it's just stuck in my head.
S3: So I hope you're doing lots of hello young man's.
S10: Yes, I'll bring that back in. I'm gonna incorporate that again.
S10: It's very formal way to address your baby.
S3: Good morning, young man. Yeah. Jack's running a boarding house
S3: from the 1600s. Oliver Twist is in there.
S6: Um. Hey, Jacko.
S10: Refer to me only as Mr. Pope.
S3: Mr..
S6: Father Jacko. Of course. Last week on the show, um, huge.
S6: Or maybe a couple of weeks ago. I can't even
S6: remember now. Um, baby, baby blue for me. Um, the
S6: big ask was in play. Let's start with the first
S6: name for your your baby. Um, what is the. How
S6: have you. We know now, but for all our listeners. Yeah.
S6: What is the name of your baby?
S10: His given name is Gordon.
S6: Right? Tick. Beautiful.
S3: And his last name. His last name? Post. Conventional. Conventional.
S3: Go go go go go. I'm trying to start.
S6: Yes, I thought that was good. The big ask was
S6: naming rights to the middle. In the middle. Not obviously
S6: usurping Bianca's. Was it grandad or dad?
S3: Giancarlo? Her dad, I believe. Is that correct?
S10: Dad? Yep. Yeah. He has his grandfather's name as a
S10: middle name so far.
S3: Gordon.
S10: Gordon. Gian Carlo.
S6: Now, is there any additional name alongside Gian Carlo?
S10: There is a blank space and then post.
S6: So there's room for your name.
S3: Do you mean a space like a one character wide space?
S10: One character wide? As in John Carlo finishes on the
S10: O base post. No room for anything.
S3: Are you trying to sell into Andy that that space
S3: represents him.
S6: Jacko. Was it discussed?
S10: Yes it was. You know what? It didn't. It wasn't
S10: even a discussion with Bianca. Ten minutes in the car,
S10: on the way home from the podcast, I thought, you
S10: know what? I'm not going to do that.
S3: I can't believe you even entertained. We were sitting there
S3: being like, oh, hey, let me make my case. I
S3: was like, Andy, he's not going to deny it. Even
S3: if somehow if Jack believes this, imagine Jack in the
S3: hospital as you went to fill out the birth certificate.
S3: If you went. Oh, sorry, I didn't mention, but we're
S3: doing a thing on the show where for me to
S3: not feel guilty about losing something. Yes, we need to
S3: slide Andy in there as well.
S6: So the big ask is still in play. It's back.
S6: I'll throw this at you just on a whim then. Jacko,
S6: your middle name. You don't have.
S3: One. You don't have.
S6: One. I'll pay for it.
S3: That would be more appropriate.
S10: No, I and no. Only because.
S3: I don't want to.
S10: Fuss with the passports. Like getting driver's licences.
S6: Represent more admin for you. This is a man.
S3: This is a man that couldn't even be bothered remembering
S3: 12 words. When $100,000 was at stake for a bitcoin.
S3: We know he's not going to fill out a form.
S6: Jacko, will you be back next week?
S10: I'll be back. I'll see you guys in there next week.
S10: Thank you.
S3: Oh, shame because I had the beard ready today, but
S3: now I guess I could. I'll do some final touches
S3: on knitting Gopu's beard.
S10: It can always get longer. That beard can always get longer.
S10: So keep knitting.
S3: I'm more refining the edges. Now. Let's not get too
S3: carried away with the barley.
S6: Stubble, my friend.
S3: Jack, could you send me a picture of your. I'm
S3: assuming we have, um, same size hands. Your hand cupping
S3: his ear to ear. Just so I make sure I
S3: know I've got the dimensions right as I knit this beard.
S3: Is that possible?
S10: I'll take the photo right after this. Thank you.
S6: Thank you. Jack. Congrats mate. See ya guys. And we're
S6: about to head upstairs because Angus Brayshaw, AFL premiership player
S6: for the Melbourne Football Club. He's in the building, he's
S6: in the building and he put together a special skill
S6: where he can pour wine in three different types of glasses,
S6: but they all go. The wine will go up to
S6: the same level, not the same amount, but the same
S6: level across the three glasses when they bought back together.
S3: Distance from table to meniscus. The word that Mike enjoyed
S3: us using a lot last time. The top of the fluid.
S3: He's upstairs. Let's go. Let's pick this up. Up there.
S6: What goes up a level today, doesn't it? This is.
S3: Professional.
S6: A professional athlete in under the pressure of a special
S6: skill on the Hamish Nerdy podcast. I gotta say.
S3: Right now he looks pretty good. Angus Brayshaw, welcome to
S3: the show.
S10: Feels good to.
S7: And what's the old adage?
S10: Look good, feel good.
S7: All good.
S6: All good, all good.
S3: Yeah. Slosh good. Slosh level. Swirl good. You are here
S3: for your wine skill. Now, you came to the show
S3: in a slightly unorthodox way by contacting the show personally
S3: to say I'm not sure what the etiquette is on this,
S3: but I feel I've got something I can offer. Sure.
S6: But we've since reviewed that and we're like, it's a
S6: bit lost touch of us to, uh, just let any old,
S6: you know, celebrity contact the show and come in. But
S6: we liked it. We like the feeling of it. We loved.
S3: It. The door remains open for other celebrities. Very happy
S3: to do that. For a professional sports player, if you
S3: were a professional in any field. Absolutely. The back door.
S3: Not any field. Not any field. Not any field.
S6: I'm a top lawyer.
S3: You're not going to find a better roof taller than me.
S6: So. But if you.
S11: Are.
S6: Late at something like Beyoncé. She can backdoor it.
S3: Absolutely. That's been a show policy for years.
S6: She's got an open invite. Yep.
S3: Um. Standing invite.
S6: Be careful if you reach out, if you're the best
S6: at something and we're not that into it, it might
S6: not give you that that straight access.
S3: The reason I was interested, Angus, because obviously as a
S3: premiership winning, um, AFL footballer, hand-eye coordination is a big
S3: part of your job. Yes, it has to be. It
S3: has to be, right? So you're born with it. You
S3: train for it. Could we see something magical here in
S3: your special skill? Can you give it to us in
S3: a nutshell? Less of a special skill.
S10: From my perspective, it's just a poor. It goes level.
S10: It gets drunk. Wow.
S3: Okay, so like Superman going, hey, to me, it's. I
S3: don't really see it as flying around. I just see
S3: it as getting from A to B. Yeah. If you
S3: think it's impressive. Sure, sure. That's just how I move
S3: I fly. Yeah. So, um.
S10: So I pour it to the same level, and we've got, uh,
S10: a few different glasses there.
S6: So three different wine glasses. We bought one in each. Um,
S6: Jack was meant to be in, uh. But he's away
S6: at the moment with kid, so Mike will be stepping in.
S6: We're going to be at opposite ends of the table.
S6: Angus is going to pour the wine, and we're going
S6: to make it very clear. It doesn't. Not the wine.
S6: It's red wine. That'll be definitely red in colour. That
S6: would be.
S3: A reverse Jesus if we made it clear. Turning wine
S3: into water. I don't have that skill. That's not what
S3: I submitted. Jesus, if you're listening, we have a policy
S3: about celebrities, and you're welcome to come on the show.
S3: Whether you turn water into wine or the other way round.
S6: It's not the amount. You aren't going to pour the
S6: same amount in every wine glass level. Yeah, it's to
S6: the same level. So someone might have a smaller glass.
S6: We'll end up with less wine, but when we bring
S6: all the glasses back together, there'll be a spirit level,
S6: a ruler that we could run across. All of them. Yeah, absolutely.
S10: Henceforth, going public with this? Yep. Um, it's going to
S10: be hard to pour.
S4: Another.
S10: Bottle in peace. I'm prepared for that. I've done the
S10: cost benefit analysis. You may.
S6: You may never pour again. Well.
S3: But that is why we salute. Whether you have played
S3: sport at an elite level or you are like, you know,
S3: all the people that come on for the special skills.
S3: That's why we salute them and we support them because
S3: you sticking your head above the parapet, above the castle walls,
S3: and you could get an arrow through the eyes. You
S3: could also get a hero.
S6: Catch an arrow with your teeth and spit it back.
S3: With your teeth, and earn a coin that could make
S3: the kid make the king happy. So you salute the
S3: courage of all our special skills. And you're you're no different.
S3: I suppose the difference here between this and playing an
S3: AFL game is that's a team sport. Sure. It's just
S3: you're against another team. You're only against yourself. Here, look.
S10: Before we get started, because I, um, the thing came
S10: out last Thursday, the last podcast was last Thursday, and
S10: I've had a lot of backlash of sorts.
S6: Oh, really? People?
S10: Just people that are speaking to me about what? Poppy. Yeah,
S10: that sort of thing. So there's a few things I
S10: wanted to get off. Uh, prepared statement. Well, no, just
S10: because I thought of them at the time.
S4: And I was like, you've got notes.
S10: Over the week. I was like, gee, that doesn't sit
S10: well with me. So we can just talk them out.
S10: The first one, um, a lot of people are lost.
S10: Common touching with me. Um, yeah. Because I'm this is
S10: a wine related skill and that's true putting it out there.
S10: But I would say, let's not discount what wine has
S10: done from the. If you look at the path from
S10: common boyhood to common manhood, if you haven't had a
S10: sack of cask wine in the sack over the journey,
S10: can you really be common? So I've got this shirt here.
S10: I've been given this shirt to wear.
S3: You were giving your lost touch shirt.
S10: That upsets me because if I've still got my first
S10: goon hanging up in my room.
S6: Okay, let's let let me put this to you. That
S6: has to be. How often have you done this skill
S6: with a cask?
S10: So my second point. I just wanted to bring him
S10: up just to talk about.
S3: You, demanded Grange today, so I assumed.
S10: Well, I actually spoke to Carly and said, should I
S10: get something to thank? And, you know, the boys have me.
S10: And she said, Andy only drinks Grange. I was like,
S10: that's a bit. That's a bit too much for me.
S10: Um H&R currency yeah. Is that that's that's a coin
S10: you've minted? Yep. If I do this.
S6: You'll get.
S3: Yourself you'll get a coin.
S10: And that buys me.
S3: Well on the back it is pegged to Bitcoin.
S6: But you have to find your own.
S3: We can't stress this enough. The. roof. On the back
S3: of the coin, it says one H&R coin equals one
S3: BTC because that's our feeling. Sure. And if you can
S3: find that in the secondary market, good luck to you.
S3: Can it be? There is no reserve Bank. Sure. You
S3: cannot sell it back to the show for that amount.
S3: And as we always say jokingly, it is equal to
S3: one Bitcoin just ticking.
S6: Off in my head what the lawyers told us. And
S6: I think we've got it.
S3: Good for that.
S6: We had yes.
S3: One just had an incident where someone sort of just
S3: missed the missed the joke a little bit. And it's
S3: not it isn't a joke. It is, it is, but
S3: it isn't. It is. It legally is. Yeah.
S6: Stage is set. Yeah. Angus is at one end of
S6: the boardroom. Mike, you've got a glass in front of you.
S6: How are you feeling, Mike?
S4: Feeling good and thirsty.
S6: Gosh. How often do you say that?
S3: So you've been to a wine bar before, Mike?
S4: I've never said that before. I just thought it would
S4: fit what we were doing.
S6: So if you.
S3: Go to a dinner party.
S6: And you sat down and someone was like, would you
S6: like a glass of wine? Have you ever said something
S6: like that?
S4: I don't drink wine. Really? More of a beer, guy.
S3: Well, you covered really well. Often at a cellar door.
S3: People will be, like, very thirsty. Can you give me. And. Good. Yeah.
S3: Your most thirst quenching wine, please.
S6: Um. Take us away, Angus. In your own time? Sure. Well,
S6: the first one.
S10: Has to be the easiest, right?
S3: First one to walk in the park.
S10: So nice and easy.
S3: Oh. Oh. Few dribbles, few dribbles before he gets in.
S3: That's okay.
S6: Okay.
S10: Now, this is, um.
S3: That's a nice slow pour.
S10: This one was a little bit smaller than the rest
S10: of them, so I'm just going a little bit over.
S10: That's not a glass I'd probably pour usually. But yeah
S10: it was it was.
S6: A smaller.
S10: Glass. And I'm just gonna relax a little bit. Okay.
S3: I didn't know relaxing was part of it.
S6: So do you normally sit back and take the other
S6: glasses in for people just listening?
S3: Just just so you know, this doesn't normally happen at
S3: a restaurant. The waiter has a separate table where he goes,
S3: just gets, gets off the old pins for a while
S3: and rest the legs.
S6: I'll tell you what again, Professional athlete.
S3: They know when to rest. They know.
S6: When to rest.
S3: But also recovery.
S6: Sizing things up, Angus made his way to the right
S6: hand corner. Well, this is where the chair was and
S6: has sat down and now is taking in his first pour.
S6: I bet, I bet he's doing a lot of calculations
S6: I made.
S3: I feel like you know what I feel like Angus
S3: is doing like a magician when he does patter. Yeah,
S3: I'm just having a chat. Really? He's selecting the ace
S3: of spades behind his back.
S6: Okay. He's picked this one up this time. I thought
S6: he would definitely pour.
S3: Well, that is really impressive.
S6: Well, I thought what he was potentially doing is going along,
S6: getting eye level across the table by sitting down. Oh,
S6: he's poured another one. It looks pretty good.
S3: This looks pretty good. That is amazing I'm happy with that.
S3: That's amazing that you picked it up.
S6: He looks he's picked it up. Now he's having a
S6: look at the last one. He's down at Hamish's glass.
S6: Now there was.
S3: About swirling the bottle. He's feeling the weight.
S10: I'll be honest with you. This is it. It comes down.
S10: That feels good. That first one. Yeah. This has to
S10: be the most weird looking of all.
S3: It is. This is a glass that kind of. It's
S3: almost square, isn't it? Like it goes out square bottom
S3: bottom flanges out.
S6: And Angus is now some 3.2m away from his original paw.
S6: So it'd be very hard to tell how high.
S3: That he has picked up. I just want people to
S3: understand the difficulty. He's not keeping it on the table
S3: so he can get an eyeline or anything. This is
S3: all weight, all feel pure hand-eye. Yeah. It's just touch
S3: and feel.
S10: Just touch and feel. I mean, the zone in the
S10: flow state. Pun intended. Because the wines. I'm gonna. I'm
S10: about to do it.
S6: Okay?
S3: He's gonna. He's gonna do it. Here we go, here
S3: we go. This picks the glass noses level.
S6: Does he know he's the height of the stem? Hand
S6: shaking a little bit. So the is it's overtaking him
S6: a little bit. The pressure.
S3: Does he have enough wine left? He does, he does.
S6: It's a big glass.
S3: Oh, no. He's giggled. He's giggled and dribbled.
S6: That looks pretty good as well. How are you feeling
S6: about it? Do you want to top it up or.
S10: It is. Probably just have.
S3: To clunky way to move to pull one back up
S3: a little bit.
S6: You can place it down that end. This is exciting. Okay.
S6: Swing around. Hamstring. To be honest.
S10: With you, gents.
S6: You're feeling good about it. Let's move in Mike's class
S6: onto the plinth.
UU: I reckon that was criminal.
S3: Wow. One centimetre over. Wow. It's like the three bears. Oh,
S3: and that's pretty good. Two and three are pretty close.
S10: Glasses were the.
S6: It was. Missed it by a mile.
S10: I've missed that first one.
S6: You kicked it out in the full.
S3: That is it's almost a different game, isn't it. Yeah.
S3: Is it close to double the amount recorded?
S10: Unfortunately, yeah. I mean, I know what I'm looking at.
S10: There's no way that's a it's not a pass. But
S10: let's point out the.
S3: We can go into the excuse making phase if you want. Absolutely. Yes.
S3: We're now in the excuse making phase. Let's just look
S3: at the glass.
S10: The glass. I point to the glass side.
S6: You'd never have a glass that small in your life.
S10: You and I and I were our lost touch. Yeah,
S10: and we don't drink out of probably glasses. That small?
S6: Tiny.
S3: That's a thimble, isn't it?
S6: Yeah. So that might be against it. Look, Angus, no
S6: coin for you. We will give you a token of
S6: no value.
S10: Are they the same? They can't be the same if
S10: they're called tokens of no value.
S6: No, no it's not.
S3: They have no value. Absolutely no value. You can attach
S3: value to it at a later date. Sentimental value.
S6: But not we won't remember it.
S3: It doesn't come with any pre-loaded. Yeah. It's like a
S3: prepaid SIM that has $0 credit on it.
S6: But thanks for coming in, buddy.
S10: Absolute pleasure.
S3: It did look good. It did look.
S10: Good. I'm happy with the big glasses. Devastating.
S3: And I've had a lot of fun today. Yeah.
S6: Well done, by the way. Uh, multimedia, Mick still kneeling
S6: high as.
S3: I like it when you bow your head and clasp
S3: your hands, because then it does look like praying.
S6: Still the highest vantage point we've ever had. Someone press
S6: the buttons.
S3: We hope you've been able to see threats before they
S3: arise from your vantage point and we thank you for
S3: not using it to rain down too much. Um, too
S3: many punishments upon us.
S4: You're welcome.
S3: I think you've done a great job on this show.
S3: And not just this show in particular, but over the
S3: whole period. Yeah, um, you're a special guy, and I
S3: know that we often get you in on a whim.
S3: You know, you're sort of you're you're, you know, you're
S3: someone like, oh, the thought pops into my head and
S3: we go, Mark would be great for that. It sort
S3: of occurred to me the other day, we're doing this
S3: whole three Wise Men thing for Jack. We're all making
S3: him presents. You know, we've done plenty of stuff for
S3: me and Andy before on the show.
S6: We've actually got to give out your certificates because it was.
S6: I couldn't believe it. Huge demand.
S3: For those.
S6: Huge demand for your certificates in future weeks.
S3: A great example of Mike's selflessness because he's doing it
S3: for the listener. You know, anytime we've needed, you know,
S3: a Pokemon question, a Harry Potter question, touch typing, all
S3: these skills, you know, it's not just to.
S4: Get egg boiling, egg.
S3: Boiling, you know? Yeah. Outside the studio.
S6: He's using it as his only black mark on his.
S6: He couldn't boil an egg.
S3: But the rest, you know, the Pokemon, the Harry Potter,
S3: all the, you know, all the babe, babe impressing stuff. Yeah,
S3: he's he's got it. But. And I thought we never do.
S3: We've never actually done something for Mike. No. Do you
S3: know what I mean? And I saw the beautiful effort
S3: you put into the certificate. And I was like, you know,
S3: he's got he's done Photoshop. I want to get something
S3: for Mike.
S6: It's amazing. Mike went home, told me he'd done this,
S6: and I said.
S3: What are you thinking?
S4: He's like, this is awesome.
S3: Beautiful, mate. And it's like, yeah, it's not the cheapest. Yeah,
S3: but he's worth it. Yeah. I organised a bespoke thing.
S3: That's why it's taken a little while. I actually wanted
S3: it for the start of the year. But it is
S3: a statue.
S4: Yeah.
S3: Of you from a company that actually makes bespoke. Kind
S3: of like bobble heads. Yeah. And I'll let you unwrap it. Awesome.
S3: Be careful here.
S4: Okay. I'm just grabbing it now. It's covered in a
S4: lot of paper.
S3: You're really careful. That's Mike. And I thought what does
S3: Mike like? Mike likes bike riding. Let's get a bobblehead
S3: of Mike that you can have on your desk. That's
S3: from me and Andy. Yeah. And we went.
S4: I don't love bike riding. Where'd you get that from? Oh, you.
S3: Like you like to ride.
S4: A bike? I've got a bike. I ride it occasionally. It's.
S3: I hope we got the model correct on your bike.
S4: It's really nice. Thanks, Hamish. That's really generous.
S6: How's the likeness, do you reckon?
S4: Yeah, it's not bad. I don't have blue eyes, so
S4: I don't know why the eyes are blue.
S3: That might have been lost in translation. I might have
S3: sent them a low res photo, but. Yeah, that's just from.
S3: That's just from me. That's just from me and Andy.
S4: What's the joke?
S3: No, there's no joke. Can't. Can't some friends give another
S3: friend a beautiful bike statue on here?
S6: It looks so much like Mike.
S4: It says Santa Cruz on the bike.
S3: Is that the kind of bike you own?
S4: No, I own a black.
S3: I have a Santa Cruz bike, so.
S4: Ah, okay, so this is a bobblehead of you that
S4: you had made. That's why it has blue eyes. And look,
S4: it actually, it actually does. You it sort of does
S4: look like me. So like you could get away with so.
S6: Much like.
S4: Mine does look bad for.
S6: You.
S3: For those damn eyes. We would have got away with this.
S4: It looks more like me. Me than Hamish. Except the
S4: blue eyes, I reckon. So. Do you.
S3: Know what? Damn, damn those.
S4: Eyes for the past. Like week on the run sheet
S4: for this show. It said question for Mike. Is this
S4: the question that you're giving me?
S3: This? The question is, do you agree that we're great
S3: friends for organizing this personalized statue of you? No.
S4: I think you've regifted this. Someone gave this to you.
S6: I mean, shock, because it's.
S3: So much like I.
S6: Said, I got someone made him a bobble head. Do
S6: you know what it was?
S3: That was while we were filming the latest season of Lego.
S3: My birthday came up and then they were like, what
S3: can we get him? And I ride my bike into
S3: Lego and they're like, let's get a bobblehead made of.
S6: Mike on one of Hamish's bikes.
S3: So the crew, I hope they haven't put too much.
S3: I would be very disappointed to find out. People have
S3: put more than $5 each in for this thing. Anyway,
S3: took a few weeks to make, comes back and the
S3: guy organized it goes, oh mate, we got you this
S3: thing for your birthday. It doesn't look anything like you.
S3: It's terrible. I opened it up and I went, gee,
S3: it really doesn't. But that kind of looks like Mike.
S3: I was like, I wonder if we could get away
S3: with giving Mike this on the podcast. It looks.
S6: That's why I got the giggles. It looks so much
S6: like Mike. It looks a.
S4: Bit like.
S6: Me. It is like the closest.
S4: It actually looks a lot like me. Exactly.
S6: There are bobbleheads of famous actors. Thor's. Dwight's from the office.
S6: Stuff that look less like that. Looks like Mike. So true.
S6: That is. So that's a limited edition Mike bobblehead. So really.
S3: The only thing you got to do, Mike, is just
S3: up your bike riding game.
S4: Can I have your bike? The red bike?
S3: You can't. But that's a real gift. But if you
S3: up your bike riding game. Yeah, you. It's a kind
S3: of up to you now to grow into the bobblehead.
S3: It's done its job. It can't. It can't be you anymore.
S3: Now you've got to be it. So you've got to
S3: get a red bike. And where I guess they kind
S3: of look like denim shorts. I don't know where. they go.
S3: Can you get us.
S6: A photo of your best replication of that stance on
S6: that red bike? And we'll prove that it looks exactly
S6: like you.
S4: Yeah, I might paint the eyes brown. I'm a brown.
S3: That's okay. Yeah. That's okay. You might have to go
S3: to one of those, like, what's that game? Like, um,
S3: like the Dungeons and Dragons game. Like where they paint
S3: their figures. You can get those tiny, you know. You know,
S3: like Warhammer. Like, I think it's Warhammer. Like those brushes
S3: that have one strand for painting tiny models. Yeah. Go
S3: and get one of those and paint the eyes brown. Yeah.
S6: Bill it back to us for the brown eyes, because.
S3: We'll shout you a small brush. But that. That is amazing,
S3: isn't it?
S4: It's really cool. I'm going to put it on my desk.
