This is a Grousehouse podcast. Gailay, guys. Welcome to the Arnie D podcast. My name is, of course, Jack Dwayne. I'm the host of the Arnie D podcast. I'm joined by my co-hosts. Got Grand Design's Batman. Hello, lovely for to be here.

Today I'm going to talk about a few properties in Wales that are changing the way we use sunlight. And also, I want to talk about Bain. Yeah, those are a couple of problems. and a couple of interests of Grand Designs Batman, a character who is half Batman, half Grand Designs. Also joined, as always, by my other co-host, the beautiful, stunning Angelina, an old Italian lady.

How are you, Angelina? It's a good to be here. Yeah, great. Very funny, boys. Now, Angelina, just grabbing my headphones. Angelina, you had a bit of an idea of something, fun we can do with the podcast. Obviously, we're the new host of the Arnie D podcast.

Just rebranded to Arnie D, I decided. Tell us a little bit about what your idea is. Yes. So I go back and listen to some other episode. I listen to Cook AF and I listen to the chess. And one thing I found is this all started. with the song, maybe banging song. Yeah, right.

And I thought maybe, you know, maybe like Enrique Ingreasy or like, you know, Brian Adams. That's such a great point, Angelina. You know, they make music and maybe make shorter music for this one podcast put at the start. Every show needs a theme. Like every house needs a door and a window. Grand Designs has a theme song. What about the heart? this.

Do do do do do do do do. And Batman has this. Now I want you to combine them for your friends. That was good. That was good. That was very impressive there, Grand Design's Batman. That's an awesome. Do you know what I find impressive?

Oh, yeah, go, Brad. It's finding land and making a house feel like it belongs there. Yeah. And also how Harvey Dent became Two-Face. Yeah. I'm a big fan of that first one. I also love when they take an old abandoned thing. You remember that one where they took a castle that was pretty much a ruin

and they turned it into a house and it took them like 10 years? Lots of delays on that one. Yeah. But their dream home was made. Yeah. And also, Harvey Dent uses a coin. Yeah, flips to decide whether people live or die. And also he has, Drew Barrymore is one of,

he has like a cutie and a baddie. Yeah. Yeah, he has two girls by his side. One of them's a cutie, one of them's a baddie. And Jim Kerry plays the riddler. Yeah, Jim Kerry plays the riddler. Now, I know a guy. There used to be a host of this podcast that would be chomping at the bit

to talk about this topic. Angelene, you don't know a lot about Batman, I'm guessing? I know this one, Jim Carrey. He's watching on the TV, the cable man. Oh, yeah, cable man, yeah, yeah. Not very funny, this one, making me sad, making me cry. I love Jim Carrey. Should we involve this, man?

Oh, yeah, we'll bring him in. We'll bring him in, but I just want to say I love Jim C. My favorite comedy, though, is probably Evan Almighty. Oh, this one. I watch that, because I don't watch a lot of movies. Last movie I watched was, uh, I watch. watched half the avatar. I went to hide out a whole cinema.

We're in Dubai. We're in Dubai. Me and the boys were on a boys trip to Dubai because I've got a few mates that are living there now and that is the land of golden opportunity. I'll tell you what, everything is so affordable. You can get cheap labour on account of the fact that they're not getting paid.

So that's what's great about that. And you go to Dubai, you can do some awesome stuff. and we just thought far out, never watched this avatar movie. Mate was telling me about it. Rented the whole cinema. Got about half an hour in. I said, I don't have time for this. And I don't read books anymore.

My favourite film of recent was ReFinds in The Coral. I didn't see that one. I don't read books and I take that as a point of pride. But yeah, so we got Tom here. Tom's come in. Tom, how you doing, buddy? Thanks for having me. Tell everyone a little bit about yourself who you are

because we've probably got a lot of new listeners now with this new lineup. They're covered up board because we're appealing to a broader audience now. Yeah, that was right. Architecture, Italian pensioners, and the far right youth of male epidemic. Like, I consider myself a centrist. Tom. Hi, Tom, podcast producer. Hello, Tom.

Now, what else you do? You do a bit of music? Oh, yeah, do some music. on the side, yeah. So, Angelina, tell Tom your vision. What are you thinking? I'm thinking, you know, a Dario Faw? No.

He's like a clown. Sure. So maybe something like this one. Dario Foe. So if you're just joining us, we are making a new theme song, theme tune for the Arnie D podcast. To go with the rebrand, we are new hosts, obviously. Look him up

My name is Jack Dwayne You know All that Could you play a little bit of Dario for Sure I absolutely can Because I don't know I only know And also know Prince's album

About Batman Dario fo It doesn't about the dance Yeah Oh I think I recognise this person Italian playwright and actor Yes Is any music

Out of the Dario Foe Yeah Dario Faux Italian folk ensemble Yes I thought there's something like this You turn it up a little bit, Tom? Yeah

Yeah, all right I like when it sound like it's in a bigger room With the one of smaller microphone Right in the middle Yeah Yeah, no So this is all Out of copyright stuff we can use Tom

Yeah, well we'll make something that's free to use for sure So keep searching So give us that first one again Hang on a second That was Dario 4, I think. Yeah, that was Dario 4. That was really him. That was really Dario Foe.

So were you looking for something in that genre? Whoa, that was Dario Foe. Yeah. That's pretty funny. That was Dario Foe. Whoa, Dario Foe. Whoa, he said Dario Foe. Whoa, Dario Foe.

Whoa, Dario Foe. Whoa, Dario Foe. Sorry, Tom, we're just doing a bit here. Whoa, Dario Foe. Whoa, Dario Foe. Oh, whoa, it's a Dario Foe. Oh, it's Dario Foe. Whoa.

That's some pretty good stuff. You can cut that up, Lucy. Check that on the social. She got yourself a viral hit. Lucy's not listening. Lucy, just timecode this bit, because we just did a great bit where we said, whoa, Dario Foe.

If you can timecode that, chuck it up as a vertical, I think it'll go viral. Is this Dario Foto? Yes. I know, I've moved on. But I like this one. That's the little clown music to kick us off. Bit too clarny.

Not clunky enough. He said, Dario, four, was the clown. Make the case for this music for me, Angelina. He said, no, I said, go. Boop, poop, pooh, bo, bo, pooh. Do you know what? You can start with something that is quite abstract and revolutionary, and that can make a great house.

And also, Razal Ghul is a villain. Yeah, Razal. Al-Gul, he's an idea more than a man. So, dude. Yeah, but he's an idea, isn't he? No, he just has someone else play him so he doesn't get assassinated. But isn't he immortal? Doesn't he do the Phantom thing?

Because he has the Lazarus appeared. So he's like all the magic. This is all correct, yeah, that's right. But it is one man. And he's immortal. This is a villain from the Batman Wales Oh I thought he was like Phantom You know how Phantom is a generational thing

So people think he's immortal My bad Yes, Lazarus Pitti Yeah sorry dude Dude We got Oh these are beautiful Can you make it a little

Can we add a little more I just want something a little more So this is great This is feeling good What you just had there I love that But I want something I can fucking grind to, you know, something like a...

Imagine I got a couple of bags of coke that have been cut up with fucking soap and detergent, but somehow out of the pile, when the dealer was putting it in the bag, somehow my bag was a little more pure than everyone else's, so I'm having a good fucking night. Nice, yeah? Yeah?

Can it come on and off, though? Can we have that nice natural boopi, boopy, and then it comes to a beat of this and then come, like, can it alternate? Yeah. I think so, yes. And also, could it have an onsuit or a walking robe?

On the song? Yeah. It'd be very impressive if he can do this. That's what I'm about. Yeah, I love that. An onsuit. Instead of an onsuit, did you want to maybe propose something

that sounds a bit Danny Elfmany? Oh, yeah, like a Batman thing. Because you're half Batman, aren't you? Can we hear a first draft? Yeah. I think there's no talking over it. You'd not like the draft, though. You want to make sure that those are closed there, the windows are closed,

so the draft did not come in. You need the draft for the clothes to dry. Is that what you're saying there, Angelina? No, you don't want the draft to come in to the house. Yeah, well, what if you... Like the draft? Are you talking about a long, next spotted creature from Africa? No, the draft.

Draft. Yeah, that's what I'm fucking talking about. Cunt. Wait, I want to figure this one out. Yeah, you're talking about giraffes and draft. No. Don't worry about that. No, you can riff about this guy.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. No, hey. I try to make a joke about the wind that come in out of the house, because you like, you know, don't let the draft. But what did I say to stop this bit? You said draft that you want to hear a draft. draft. Oh, right. And I said, you know, wanted the draft in your house. Yeah, I agree. Your husband built. Built your house from hand, yeah? Yes, you did. But... You buy the block for $20 and a hand shake.

Yeah. Back then, yeah. And every day, you regret to not buy that house in the North Melbourne. But your kids are waiting for you to die so they can get that block. Oh, yes. They cannot wait. They make the big money. They probably subdivided, turn into units. I have lots of cash wrapped in a gladrapped under the bed. You should be careful of villains who might come to take that from you. Like who? Well, it could be Bain. It could be...

Yeah, you can Google them. It could be Hugo Strange. Oh, yes. He's a very strange man, this one. Poison Ivy. Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah, she's great. Clayface.

My missa actually went as Poison Ivy won Halloween. We did a Halloween dead. down at the Espy. Espy's great now. You've been to the Espy lately? No, I haven't been to the south in like 10 years. Espy's great. They play footy on the screens downstairs now.

It's really sleek. They got lots of beer options and stuff. We went there for Halloween. They had a Halloween thing. My Missa, dressed as, um, dressed as poison ivy. She looked fucking beautiful, ma'am. She looked so beautiful. A couple of guys talk to her, though.

It's also worth mentioning. Not good, mate. Vines can crawl. A couple of wall. Yes. Yeah, I blamed her for the guy. He's a couple of fat all the time. Marriage is like a wall or not.

Greenery in a house can really make a place come to life. Yeah? How does it relate with the nature around it? Yeah. Yes. Do you want to listen to a draft of the song, Batman? Yeah, let's do that. But don't let it in the door.

Is there something I can call him for short, do you think? Grand Design's Batman is a little long. Battegrant? Back Grand Man? Bat Designs. GDB. GDB? GDB.

I would really prefer... GDB! I really would prefer it call me Grand Designs Batman. Oh, nah, GDB, you're all right, mate. Look, I really would prefer to be called Grand Design's Batman. It really encapsulates who I am. GDB. Oh, no.

I'll clobber you with my muscles. Oh, yeah, of course you will. And if you do, I'll sue you. Wow. All right. take it away Tom I like a dish that's good

that's all I got still the side you were playing with some pretty like I want to say crunchy I say crunchy a lot as a descriptor but playing some with some really hard

harsh sounds love a bit of that in there man sure sure sure well I have one note yeah is there only Daniel Femannesque music

you can bring sort of the terror that reigns over Gotham absolutely but then also the grand designs music from the other day. I don't remember what was it?

It was sort of like, dun, dun, dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun do too Oh yeah. Yeah, you can find something like that's good. Okay,

then we need Danny Alphan sort of stuff. Yeah, that's right. Get a bit of Danny Alphman, get a bit of grand design. Because I want someone to listen to this. I want someone to listen. They need to know instantly when they hear that opening music.

All right, this is a podcast with three hosts, one of which is a privately educated 28 year old. Yeah, that's Grand Designs-y. Yeah, Grand Designs. That's the one you said was Grand Designs. Can a house be both a home

and a workplace? Because I kind of looked at it as to me it sounded like late 90s Oscar bait. Yeah. This home reaches in to its community and says welcome.

That's awesome, man. That's so good. Yeah, so as I was saying Tom, I want this piece of music to scream. This is a podcast with a 28-year-old privately educated boy, Grendesigns Batman and an old Italian lady at the helm. I want all of that captured. Seems doable. And every layer we add, we've got to remember that the other layers are becoming

less and less noticeable, so we've got to fold in more layers that make it clear. All right. Isn't it sounding good? Yeah. We're going to get this in. Oh. Yeah. That's beautiful.

And then where's the Danny Elfman? I've got to get that. This genuinely sounds like something that would be on my playlist. Not my playlist, Zach's playlist. It sounds like after American Beauty came out, they found Thomas Newman composed pieces and then went, but how can we put this on the dance floor? Did they really?

Yeah, there was a lot of that in the early 2000s, but also there was a reign of terror over Gotham. It's got Moby vibes in a way. Like a Moby deep cut. Put it back at the clown one as well. Yeah, we're going to fold back in. See, this is what I've realised is going to happen, Angelina. Every time we fold in everyone's taste,

the last person of speaker is going to be less prevalent. Yes. So we're going to come back and then fold in more Italian. Oh, great. And we're just going to keep folding in until we're happy that... Because I know that this is a cohesive concept. Grand Design's Batman. Jack Dween and Angelina the Italian pensioner.

I can see in the podcast that this is cohesive and worth doing for weeks on end. And it's freaking me out that it's not, that every, that the song isn't holding all of those things at once. Yes. So we've got to make it work. And maybe some more traditional Italian music as well. But he's got to get that, he's got to get the Danny Alphanin first. We need to get the Dan Alphamini.

Yeah. So that you, the two parts of you. Because you have split down in the middle. It's very observant of you, Angelina. Thank you. You're a very observant lady. I can't imagine the things you saw back in your home. What part of Italy are you from?

Calabria. Calabria, beautiful, beautiful. We used to steal the egg from the chicken from the farm down the route. Wow, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then sell it and make some lira. You must have. been very poor. Oh yes, very poor.

And come to Australia for a new life. Yes. And that is the wonderful thing about Australia, isn't it? In my city where I'm from, the DA would stop that, Harvey Dent. He's a good man. And he lives... So you're hard on crime. He lives in a studio apartment

that still has a rich area, a loft and a wonderful onsuit. But now doesn't he live in the sewer? The timeline jumps around. I live in old times. Harvey Dent is a good district attorney. Do you live in the beautiful, are you the, he flips a normal coin. Are you the Batman that lives in the, in the beautiful sort of art deco era tower?

Or are you the Batman that lives in the mansion? I, I live in a house, a reconstructed mansion that now welcomes light, open spaces and green heating. Good. What's about this, a Mr. Cold one? Mr. Cald. Ah, Miss Doctor Freeze, Mr. Freeze. Dr. Freeze? Mr. Freeze.

He's a Mr. But I also think he's a doctor. Yeah. I'm sure he is. Maybe it's like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Well, maybe it's like that British chef that handed in his Michelin Stars. Yes, yeah. He was like, this is too much pressure to be a doctor. I'm handing it in now that I'm Freeze, you know.

But Mr. Freeze, he's a doctor. I mean, and he's really? really cold and I said to him, why not use insulation in your house? Ah yeah, great idea. Keep it warmer. Natural heating. What about Captain Crock? What about

Captain Coulke? Captain Cult. Captain Cult? Well that's... No, no, cold. Calt. Cold. Is that a real villain? Yes. Captain Culled. Captain Cold. Captain Cold. Captain Cold.

Not Calde. What's Italian for Cold? Freezy. Freezy? Oh, yeah. Captain Cold from the comic books, yeah. Captain Cold, there's two cold characters in Batman. I don't know much about this thing, but I know there's one Mr. Freeze and one Captain of Colt. Yeah, he's a super villain. Yeah, he's for the Flash.

For the Flash. Oh, the Flash. He's a really fast runner. I wish I had him to build a few houses. Do you have anything to do with this Captain Accult? Not much, no. I mainly know Mr. Freeze. Can you play the draft again? Sure, this is a matter.

Without letting it in. It's very good. No need to patronize me. Well, no, I want you to be happy, Angelina. I try to make a one a job. I want to fall a bit of flatter. That's okay. I want you to be happy.

Angelina. Can I just check with Angelina. Angelina, were you saying Capitino Fredo? Yes. There is a character called Capitino Fredo. Captain Coles, we know him as he fights the Flash. I've never heard of this Captain Cole. That's why I was checking.

I thought maybe I'd misheard you. That's why I translated in Google. You can translate anything in Google now. Hit it some. Okay, here we go. Very Italian. Oh, that's a very nice touch. Oh, I like that bit, yeah.

Still not representing me yet. Let's see. Oh, okay. There you are, Edwin. Yeah, this has got some fuck into the, you know. Yeah. Okay. Oh.

Okay. So I'd love to jump in now because I feel I've been a little lost in the mix now. Oh, no. Yeah, no, like, the beat is great, but I think that was pretty perfect. I think that says everything we need to say about this podcast. I just think, you know, I'm an Aussie bloke. I love beers. I love having beers with my mates, you know.

I love footy, that sort of thing. And I would love to get a bit of like Aussie rock sounds in there. Sure. If that's all right with you guys. Yes, I want everyone to be happy. Just get some Aussie rock sounds in there. I worry it might overload it. Might be one too many references.

Not enough, I reckon. So tell me, let's see what we can get happening between you two. So you love Italian stuff? Yes. I'm guessing the thing you're most proud of is your children, grandchildren, the family. Yes, my grand daughter. When they come around and you see, you know, when you've got a big family event, you sit down and everyone brings you food and you feel a sense of pride of what you've... Take some meat out of the freezer and get ready, make the sauce, do the fresh pasta, make the little biscuits to have with coffee, get fresh fruit, go down there, make a have a salad at the start, you know, and then you have a little biscuits.

to have with coffee get fresh fruit go down there make a have a salad at the start you know and then you have your meat and then your pasta and then you finish up

with the coffee and the biscuit okay so now Batman Grand Design's Batman I imagine you really love justice yeah that's right yeah and houses and pretty clear

like it's just houses and Batman And I imagine you're most proud of the fact that you've helped to save people's lives and also track the journey of some beautiful houses and maybe bring some more green ideas into people's minds about how to build houses, stuff like that. Is that fair? So I guess maybe you guys, is there something in that for you two to talk about? We could talk about the rogue gathers some more. Yeah, there's different feelings, yeah. Yeah?

Yes, yeah. Because I made a promise to the listener last week. I don't know if you remember this, but I made a promise that we were going to do 498 of these. We're two in. But we don't have the theme of song. So every episode gets off to a rougher start. Once we have the song, then we come together.

it would be very nice. The issue is I went, I went, I went home on the weekend and my parents were really on me about when's this going to start making money. Yes. I don't think that this will start making money for like 400 episodes. You have to do this because you love, not because you want. Surely I've got to see some sort of economic return. And I just worry, it's been two weeks now that we've been doing.

this and... It takes time, everything take time. It takes time. You don't build a house in a day. It takes a few years if you're ambitious about your design. And the focacia takes maybe

two or three hours in the dive. I just don't want to sink more into this. I'm spending a lot of money on this. Do you think this is going to work? I think you should hedge your bets and go and do a university degree at the same time. Yeah? Or at the very least I could get

a diploma of education. podcasting at the end of this? Yeah, I don't know if they teach podcasts. I think maybe if you teach, maybe you have to do one of the thing successful first. Yeah, yeah. I think the best pathway is working as a producer on radio, mate. Well, I did that, man.

Yeah, I did that. But radio... If you haven't got it yet, maybe, maybe it's not for you. No, no, it's just... I just, I told myself by 28, and I just, it's just, this isn't really happening. Let's talk about it offline. Do you want to have a meeting after this? No, I just, I'm worried, you know, I'm worried.

I put a lot of money into this set and stuff. Oh, my God. Well, if this song, let's play the finished draft of this song. Yeah. And if that doesn't make you feel better, then we can talk about it next episode. Okay, all right. Sign us off before we play the thing. Am I signing?

Okay. Listen, this is the second episode of the Annie D podcast with the new hosts. I am one of those hosts. Obviously, I've introduced us a lot. It's been an honour. It's been a real honour doing this podcast for you guys. Obviously, it's not making any money yet. And that's a lot of, I'll put a lot of time into this.

So we're going to have a hard chat next week about money and how we can make this profitable. That'll be next week. But in the meantime, maybe this song will inspire me and give me hope. Any final thoughts from Angelina or Grand Designs of Batman? Gdb. So you'd be too hard on yourself. You expect it too much.

I'm hard on you guys too. Next week we're going to talk about how we're going to make this financially viable. And here's my last two words. It's what I would say if you see the Joker as well. Hit it. Oh, God. Should we sing it as... Oh, what have I done?

Oh, no. Oh, bad, dude. Okay. Hey. Yeah. This is all right. That's what I'm talking about. You have fucking delivered, Tom.

You have fucking delivered. That was superb. That was superb. Doesn't need the summer word? What? I don't think so. I think the house says everything. What?

Perfect. Auntie Donna. You've been listening to the Auntie Donna podcast. Thanks for joining us for another Ripper episode brought to you by Auntie Donner Club.com. See you next week. Welcome to the future.
