A listener production. Activate your Internet because the Hamish and the podcast starts in three. To. Sorry, still buffering. Ahoy to my Chilean Rose, Hamish. By any other name, I would smell as sweet. Ahoy to my Goliath bird eating. Ahoy.

Oh no. God damn it. We're spiders. We are a particular type of spider. Are we tarantulas? We are. A Chilean Rose and I'm a green bottle blue. Chilean Rose. We've got that. I just, you know, the bird eating, that's the giveaway, isn't it?

No one likes the Goliath bird eating. Are they huge ones, like big rock spider thorns? A bird eating Spider Jack? No, it's not a tiny one. The largest spider in the world, Jack. They're tiny, but the team of a thousand could take down a bird. The largest spider in the world by mass, that's you, obviously after you work with those peanut butter milkshakes. Strong, actually rarely preys on birds, but can take one down.

Yeah, it feels like something it did once as a deer. Because there's just got to be easier stuff to eat. Exactly. But it's like a nickname in high school, you only have to do it once. Yeah, people don't forget. You're right. People don't forget. Once a jaguar sees you eat that, I know what I'm calling you birdie. Well, actually, once for many other things. Chilay and Rose, a common pet spider available in America and Europe can live up to 20 years old, and the green bottle blue is my metallic looking blue legs.

Obviously supports Carlton Foody Cup. No interest, no interest. No. Would not live for 20 years in my house. I'll tell you that. Ahoy also to Sam who went to hamishandy.com and uploaded what they've been up to. Ahoy Hamish, Andy and Jack Post. My name is Sam and I live in Seattle and I lost my voice bit up to. Jack because after all you're just a little boy. Andy I really enjoy watching your talk Terrier from across the Pacific. He seems to be doing well. Hamish, SP enough said there. Keep up the good work boys. Gusto be with you. Gusto to you as well Sam. Thanks to everybody who sends them in at amysdandy.com. Sam's calendar must be so chockers that he's just gone, you know, 908, do Hamish in any message. Oh, but I've got laryngitis.

Well, we can't shift anything. No. The day must continue. No matter what I've got scheduled, it has to be this week. Jack, sorry, can I just quickly ask something, Jack? How do you feel? I thought it was a beautiful moment when you shared that you

say to your partner, Bianca, I'm just a little boy. Happy with that? Because it is coming back to bite. It is becoming the new number one thing that people approach me with now on the street as well. I'm not doing it anymore. No. Well, as in on air or at home?

At both. I'm not gonna give you another one of those for free on air and I'm not doing that specific line at home anymore It's gonna be confusing for Gordie who is genuinely a little boy I think I'm pretty sure I had little L in little Hey what also is this week and pressing, when this goes out, tomorrow will be con con. It'll be welcome drinks and registrations.

So we should get to our last bit of organizing. There's a cool new conference no matter your beers. Con Con. The conference so nice you can deduct it once at a maximum. Can't stress it enough. Some quick fire things here, Ham. First of all, the welcome drinks, which will be happening tomorrow when people hear this. Got asked about what music we wanted to play. I wondered whether we run with Henry at his bath mix.

Oh, your dog's music list. I can't remember what's on that bath mix. Doesn't it go for like two hours or something? That's how long the drinks are, two to four. Yeah, but what was the reason the dog's bath goes for that long? No, the mix goes for that long. The bath has to go for at least 10 minutes for the medicated shampoo to work. What are some of the songs again on the mix? Well, it was Lorde, Solar Power.

And then there's just, I mean, Beck put most of it together, to be honest. I can't say I'm immediately remembering that Lorde song off the top of my head. No. I mean, we can go with something else. I just thought it might be a suggestion. Well, I mean, on the one hand, it's pre-made. Yes. That is good. So that's good.

Jack, oh, here's an idea. And I'm just spitballing. You know how we were talking the other week about, like, if and when we ever get Cool Boys and the front band back together, Jack has said, oh, I've got a song we can play. I do have a great song that we can play. Would you make a two-hour mix and it's one of the songs? Yep, great idea. Wow.

That's better. The risk is then everyone's coming to get their passes and to have drinks and you guys will be just sat listening to the I won't be hearing a thing anyone says Like how many people talk to you with the logees and they're looking over your head just to see if anyone more famous is in the room. I will be very vague. All right, what about this? Where I can guarantee you won't care about Henry's perfect background fodder. I'll be happy to make it.

It's up to you. It could be a distraction is the only thing. I still want to do it, Andrew. I want to do it. Let's do it. You, and now people coming will know this because I assume everyone coming to con con registration drinks on Friday. They're down, you know, these episodes.

Jack, we don't want to put too much on your plate because, so you might have to outsource that by telling one of our crew the number, the song. The song, yeah. And then they, because Haim got the phone, we've got all the registers. Yeah, I've already agreed to something. The WhatsApp is now available. And how does Jack want to kick off the WhatsApp is the question I have.

What do you plan for that, Jack? Just a reminder? The registration? How many total numbers is in there again? 300. Okay, so it will be mostly, like, people absorb my information rather than back and forth. You really can do that on WhatsApp. You can just be the only person that no one can actually write back.

I'll allow questions. I think you should have write backs, Jack. I mean, people will have questions they need to ask. Yes, but it's got to be a real question. I don't want, don't be filling it up. Don't be filling it up. I mean, Carly will give me a big nod at this, but for anyone that's got kids in primary school,

I mean, the class WhatsApp is 30 people. Maybe the year level WhatsApps, let's say, I don't know, 80 or 90. Is there a year level WhatsApp as well? Yeah. That you can have like the whole, all of year one WhatsApp. For the parents. Yeah. That thing can get 90 messages in a day.

That thing can absolutely spiral. We've got 300 on this WhatsApp, Jack. No, but that is just a great hem. Only question. Only real question. Only real question. You honestly don't know the address of the place, then you say, what's the address? And I'll tell you.

But don't be just filling it up because the risk you run, and this happens with my own family WhatsApp, if there's too much in there, if I go, if I went in there and there was 90 new messages, I'm skipping to the bottom and I'm not reading it. So real ones will get lost. What if there's 90 real messages? That's well, that's the risk you run. What about this? People, people, well, you have to, you have to put the prayer hands emojis next to your message if it's real and fingers crossed if it's like mucking around

the edge. No, we're going to have no mucking around the edge. Don't do on the edge. Okay, that's a good plan. So that we start back. Or like what else? Like a lock, the padlock emoji to be like, this is a solid question. No, I like the prayer hands. I use that a lot and it's universal. So if you only put prayer hands on there, only put prayer hands if like only write serious questions that you are writing to Jack and Jack, you look for the prayer hands and you respond to them. Cause the good thing about the WhatsApp is if it's open, people do sort it out amongst themselves.

Like there could be some people helping you in there, Jack. You could have a Jack's helpers. Yes, but don't don't, but also be wary of doing too much back and forth amongst yourselves because as soon as it gets too busy in there, I will exit. One question I have on behalf of- You just are playing down rules. So you- One- I can't imagine a situation where you don't exit now. One question I have on behalf of everybody is will you remove anyone as a ministry?

You can remove people from... Will you kick anyone? Oh, troublemakers, yes. Troublemakers, yes. And I think people would prefer that I remove a troublemaker before removing myself. And I honestly, I go in with the best intentions. I want it to be a useful tool that people can use for real questions they have. And I want to be helpful to the conference.

I've heard that loud and clear. Haim, you and I and Jack, the guest speakers at Kong Kong, we're covering off everyone's industry that's coming, of course, that makes it tax deductible, check with your local accountant or just your accountant, doesn't have to be a local one. We all caught up via Zoom this week, just to run one of our seminars past each other, just to get a vibe and also to double check that they weren't too entertaining because we know that's a big no-no and far more business-wise. That will affect the tax deductibility if it seems entertaining instead of educational.

Things, I'll say two things. Things are definitely, we can polish this even further before we launch the first session on Saturday morning. We have already done more. Yep. And I think generally, generally we're working well as a team. Is that weird? Morning all. How are we? Morning. We're good.

Really good. Great. Nice to get all the speakers together. Our time is 10.04, Friday the 8th of November. Eight days out from ConCon. Yeah. Is this, it feels, traditionally for me, this was too early to go for a run through for an event. This sounds like a guy that has not done his homework Jack. Sounds like. Not at all.

There's been text messages flying around all week. All week. No, no, I'm just saying this is great. Good on us for getting such a jump on it. Have you written them? Written what? Your seminars. The whole thing? Have you at least grouped them? Yeah, that's what I thought we were doing, just coming in to confirm the groups.

We were going to present an idea of what we might say, just so people get their money's worth, but also to make sure it's not too entertaining. Yeah, no, that's not going to be a problem. I think you know better than anyone, Andy. I could say something now, but it will change by the day. The inspiration always hits. Always hits me the day before.

Okay, well, what about slides? What about accompanying visual aids for people's learning? Yep, great. Like we're gonna need- Yeah, pop me down for 10. Ha ha ha ha. Of what? Slides.

Slides 10. What's on them? What's on them? Infographics, photos, flow charts, explainers, breakout bubbles, Venn diagrams of the topic of each seminar to relate to the seminar that I'm doing. I will have something exciting to present for each seminar. So you're making your own graphics, eh? Yep. GONG!

LAUGHTER I mean, I've got a week. What could go wrong? Well, we need graphics in by Wednesday, so you don't have a week. GROANS We need graphics in by Wednesday? What are you, the head of the Olympics? LAUGHTER Get your graphics in by Wednesday. What are you, the head of the Olympics? LAUGHS No, he's right.

Every time you go to something where it's got some form of, like, screen and AV inputs, that's the biggest part where something can go wrong. So I don't want you, like, hitting spacebar, oh, where's my graphics? Where's my graphics? Because they weren't in two days before. Yeah, we can't have a minute of you just searching for a graphic, mate. Like, don't try and pad out that way. That could be informative. No, no, I won't be doing that.

I'll get them, yeah, OK, graphics in by Wednesday. Bloody hell. OK. But are we making the graphics? That is a good question to ask. Are we making them or are we saying... Jack, if you're not making them, who do you expect to make them? I thought somebody on the radio team. Oh, like Carly. We haven't worked in radio for seven years. I thought we would say like, okay, I need a pie chart that says 59% versus 41%. And she would make, I thought someone would make that.

Right. Do we have someone that's gonna do that? I mean, I just thought we had to sort of do our own. Well, do we know how to make grass? Just look at what you would do. Yeah. Yes. This doesn't bode well for people putting on a conference. Do we know how to make grass?

This is, I imagine this is how firefights. I hope people that haven't bought tickets are listening to this. I hope they're not listening. Yeah, so I'm going to the TED Talk next week. It's really good, but I think I heard the organisers running around saying, does anyone know what a microphone is and where can we get one? No, here's the thing.

I have grouped all mine together. How many groups have you got? Can we get one? No, here's the thing. I have grouped all mine together. How many groups you got? I've got 15 seminars, 15 groups. Jack, Jack, how many have you got? I've got 12 seminars. I got 17. Yeah, good for you.

One of my... One of my... Number. I was just saying my number. Okay. One of my presentations is a big one and I'll be building up to a very exciting mega moment. So two of my other seminars are me surrendering my time for the mega moment. So I'll just be going, it'll be a tease, it'll be more of an ad for the mega moment that's coming up in the second seminar. Hang on, as we're doing one minute per seminar and you want

to take those minutes and put them. So I'm just saying two of my 15, like let's say positions five and eight are ads for the Mega Moment. So you've got 13. I've got 13. What do we need an ad for? People at the seminar already. It's to build excitement. It's to build excitement for the mega moment. Just quickly, are all your industries covered? Yes.

Good. Mine too. At the moment, yes, mine. All mine are covered. So yes, you can use two of your moments for it. That's what I thought. I actually did such a good job of grouping that I have found myself with a few slots spare so I can do two ads for the Mega Moment. Okay, well that's... Can we play a video? I thought I had enough. I thought I've got a few videos I might want to play. If you're just playing highlights from Seinfeld or Simpsons or something just to pass the time, no. Some people do do that. Quite often you go to a seminar and they'll play like a one minute scene from Monty Python just as an icebreaker. A friend of mine is a primary school teacher and sometimes when he doesn't have a lesson,

he'll play Michael Jordan highlights on the projector. Who's going to complain about that? I do have a video. I have some video. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Funny you mentioned the Michael Jordan highlights thing. I do have a clip of Michael Jordan highlights in one of my seminars. Okay, well thought about it. All right. By

Wednesday, everyone has to have all of their groups. So yeah, so are you doing instead of a seminar where you get up and talk, you're just playing something off YouTube? I'm not. It sounds like Jack. No, it just seems like an easy way to do it. If I hadn't known that then I could go, oh, instead of construction, here's a video about construction that somebody else made. Yeah, well, you can do that if you want if you think it's the most educational but not entertaining

way to get your message across. No, I'm banning that. That does seem. That's not what I'm doing. I have video that supports the interesting points I'm making. You know what I mean, Mike? That's fine. I'm banning here's how logistics works

and a one minute YouTube video. And press play. Yeah, press play. I'm banning that. I have a quick cooking demonstration for one of mine. Really? Do you need props? Yeah, I'll need the person that's doing the graphs, whether it's Kelly or whatever, to set up some, yeah, I need a small trestle table with some cooking stuff.

That has to be on a list by Wednesday. You're on an absolute power trip with this Wednesday stuff. All right. What's the idea for when somebody's on stage and we feel like they're not really doing what they said they would do, we need some sort of like buzzer or something to stop them and go, this is either too entertaining or this is too cheery. Yeah, you don't have to police it. It's not about like, remember, we're a team up there, Jack. Exactly. I've never been to a conference where another speaker has yelled out, that's not about like, remember, we're a team up there, Jack. Exactly. I've never been to a conference where another speaker

is yelled at. That's not very good. And goes like, oh, irrigation is like doing a slam dunk. Here's Michael Jordan. We have to have a way to interrupt and interrupt and go this isn't this isn't what we said this conference would be. Well, who gave you the power, mate? Who gave you the power to be the policeman on what the conference is? I actually think the nerve that's been touched in you is you've probably done like

25 minutes of work on this. And now you're frustrated to think that you could have not done that work and you could play Michael Jordan highlights. I've done more. I feel like I've spent two hours over the last couple of days on this. Yeah, well, I feel like I've spent two hours over the last couple of days on this. Yeah, well, I feel like I've spent pretty close to that. But if I happen to play a Michael Jordan highlight and I go, hey, you get there's quite a lot of similarities between aerospace logistics and Michael Jordan.

Look at the way the balls pass the ball around here. That's the rest of the logistical chain. If you're in aerospace logistics and if you're the final delivery product, you're the Michael Jordan of the team, you make sure you dunk it. That's perfect. And that's just one of the seminars I could play Jordan highlight with. Here's the rule, here's the rule then.

Everyone's allowed one video. One existing video. Yes. There's a thing that I've got to film, I've got to make a few original. Oh, well, that's hard. That's effort. That shows effort.

Well done. Oh, okay. Now guess who's back on my side. Nice to have a co-host that is willing to permit me to do my work on stage. But Jack, don't say well done. He hasn't done it yet. You guys get caught in a loop of saying you'll do things and congratulating each other. Congratulate him after you start. It feels great. On Wednesday, he'll show us the video.

We'll see. I can get my videos in by Wednesday. Everything in by Wednesday. Alright, what about this? You know how in the Harris Trump debates they muted the microphones when one person was speaking? I think we keep all mics hot because I think if something is getting too entertaining, you get judicious with your jump in.

But I think the other two need to keep the main person on track. Because remember, the more entertaining it is, the less tax deductible it is. That's our read on this situation. So calm down hard on that. Keep it informative. But keep it supportive, too. You've got to keep it supportive.

I think here's the worry. Generally, with the way our team works, as in the three of us, it's just get off the bottom. That's it's no one wants to excel. It's just not be the worst. Let's come to it with a good spirit, supportive spirit and energy.

Yeah. It's gonna be, we try, I've tried that. It's not, it's not. It's not in us. So we just need to. Yeah, it is, it is. I've actually... But if we all work together... Mics can be turned... come live after 30 seconds.

I think it's got to be the... Like, we've got to let people start. Yeah, that's true. Look, I'm the one that actually, I feel like, first suggested that we should be on the same team out there. Remember, we've got 300 people we're trying to deliver education and business enhancement and development to. Doesn't need to turn into an absolute WWF cage fight. Because I don't think anyone will get it in an educational message. And to be honest, if the conference is a success, then everybody wins. It's not about the individual wins. This is just not the way TED Talks briefings go one week out. Acting like it's this big

victory that we've agreed not to destroy each other on stage. So there you go. We look forward to presenting all that on Saturday and of course we'll catch everybody up on the podcast next week with how Con Con went. If you are in fact going to Con Con, we look forward to meeting you. Registrations of course be there in the two hours allocated. If you don't know the time, just hit up the WhatsApp. Yep. The WhatsApp will start tonight. Remember, no troublemakers. Hey, one day you'll be a dog owner. I feel like, I reckon he'd be great.

You would love a dog. I would love a dog. We've got two kittens. So yeah. How they going? We never hear about them. They're great. I mean, you know, they're cats.

Very, very cute. You come in, flop on you at night and they're killing it. Are they still peeing in the bed? Timothy has not. He has not peed on the bed for a while. Is that after a visit from Chris Hemsworth? We can't get onto Chris Hemsworth's cat whisperer. She or he is booked solid. But then we keep hoping that we don't need the whispering anymore. Well, you mightn't if, if Timothy's up to his game.

But we also close the bedroom doors all the time. It just seems to be beds that trigger, that get him excited. I mean, I've been doing my own whispering to him. Stop it. Stop doing it. Interesting thing that I've noticed amongst all dog owners, not sure if you and Bianca do this, Jack, but when you take the dog for a walk, actually I'll do a little quiz with you.

You get back from the walk. I'll say, Hey Jack, how was the walk? Is there information that you give me? About what happened on the dog walk? No, not at all. So weirdly, Beck will do this, Jess does this, our friend of ours who sometimes walks a dog for us, Beck's parents, returns and I've found myself doing it as well. I got How's the Walk, yeah, did two poos in a wee.

Like, no one. You just report for some reason what their business they did. I think it's because if they're an ins- predominantly inside dog- Oh, it's good to know the telly. It's good inside dog. Oh, it's good to know the telly. It's good to know. Oh, it's good to know there's not another one owing. Yeah. Yes. Your house is kind of safe. And it seems to be a report that I get back from many people who walk with dog.

Inside dogs more so because, because do you always have to know where you're up to in the cycle? Very much so. You can with cats. God, cats are just, they're just here, skrit skrit skrit skrit skrit. You know, they just take themselves off and do their business. Yeah. No, dogs, obviously, if you don't have a doggy door, which you do, no, you've got to be well aware. Wake up in the morning and let them out. That type of thing. Darcy's always in trouble for it.

He's been under the microscope for it. You're doing this, Jeff, aren't you? Jeff, give me a thought. Darcy's raced around. Come on in, Dusty. You have to do the same thing? Always let him or let Jane know how many poos he's done. And my parents, when they're looking after him,

take great pride in describing the poo. See, so it is. It's a clear audit. Where you just say, yeah, I did two poos in a wee and everyone goes, oh great. And I wondered how that would play out if humans took the same approach to their day and chatting to their loved ones. Fogs! How are ya?

You're a good mate yourself? Not bad. What are you up to today? Just popped over to Florence because Roscoe's cutting down the hedge around the tennis court. Yeah, nice. I'll just go back for a walk and get two poos and a wee and then that's pretty much been my day. Very good. Yeah, thanks. Andy's brother. Hey buddy, how are you? Yeah, good.

Just got back from a walk, two poos and a wee. Nice. Yeah. Bec's parents. Hey, how are you? Hey Lee how are you mate? Good. How's your day? It's been good, yeah. Nice one, yeah I just got back from a walk. You there Gabs? That's okay yeah that's alright I was just checking in, I just got back from a walk, had a big day, did two poos and a wee. That's a good day. Andy's Mum

Hello? Hey Mum. Hi, you trying to ring me? Yeah, yeah, how are you going? I'm well, I'm well, I'm well. So where are you? I'm at home. Just went for a walk this morning and did two poos and a wee. Good, good, good. I knew. I'm envious of that. Really? Okay.

I mean, I'm envious of that. I mean, as a sentence, it's a strange one of course to share your load and what you've achieved. But if anyone's saying I did two poos in a small window is quite phenomenal. Like, what have you done for the last hour? I did two poos. Okay. I think what you mean is you might've done one interrupted.

Who the heck is? That's just not how the cycle works. Boys, got an email to my side of the fence during the week. He cried for help. Well, a very, I look at Courtmire because it was a confession. It was full of hope. It was full of joy. But this is a young man that needs our help.

His name's Michael. I love this. And anyone can reach out hamishdandy.com. You'll get one of us. Hamish or I, we split them. So it's a surprise for the other. But this one came in from Michael, you say? Yeah, we're here for you. And Michael, he's an exciting time in his life because he's

picked up a new hobby. And as someone that's picked up a few in my time, I was like, mate, you've come to the right spot. This is how can I help you? You've let him go though. Well, not all. You've picked him up and you've just... Slippery. There have been some slippery hobbies. but you were talking to a man and I'm not making this up that within the last week has fished, done archery, played a lot of online chess, played golf and bike ridden.

And I'm like, as a snapshot of one, I was looking at myself, seven days, over seven days, this is a man that's interested in getting fingers in pies, not having them move away. And I was like, what are you doing, Mike? Maybe I'll take it up with you. I read on the hobby he has taken up is digital bird collecting. He admits, he says, look, and this is where I began to cool a little bit. He admits digital bird collection sounds very uncool. He says, yet I can't escape the feeling and excitement that hits me every time I

add a new bird to my very own collection. It's done through an app and you simply take a photo of the bird in the wild. And then with the app and the app's impressive bird database, it identifies it for you and you add it to your personal digital bird collection. I think I wouldn't mind doing this. It's not as bad as I thought. At first I thought it was like Pokemon Go where you were finding fake digital birds. Yeah.

They should change the name of it. Speaking of Peter Outs, our short lived or our medium lived digital horse racing. Yeah. I still don't think, I don't know what happened with the money on that. We were robbed. I think. Yeah, we were pretty sure that was. Yeah.

I mean, the case, I'd love the case to still be open because it gives the sniff that the money could come back. But I think the case is very much closed with a total profit tally next to it that says minus, there is a minus dollar amount to that. Anyway, we were fleeced and we had a good old time. But no, this is Real Birds. So you're taking, and I've actually seen, we were talking about this before, like we're talking about with Webkeys and Jez, he's doing it, right?

So this might just be out there and gone at the moment. So you take a photo of the bird or whatever and you log it. Anyway, he, the, the problem is Michael's gone, look, I'm, he's obviously really captivated by this and good on him. He's found something that speaks to his heart, but he's like, he's never shown any interest in bird watching or cataloging avian life. He goes, my friends, we're into sport. He said the sport consumes 80% of the conversation within the group.

Digital bird collecting, he says, is completely in a different realm to this and I'm very worried about bringing the new hobby to the group. That's why he's come to us. He's like, I have, I'm in love with something. Doesn't say it, but we can ask him ourselves because we've got him on the line. Michael, ahoy. Ahoy boys. How are you going?

Good, Michael. Mate, we're great. First of all, first question I got to ask is, have you got any birds today? No birds today, but the collection has grown to a total of eight, which is exciting. Oh my God. I see more than eight birds per day. Oh my god, but there's only 13 in the world, so you can't get there. No, but you've got to get different birds, Jay. You can't just go down to the beach and see eight gulls. I think I can find eight birds today. I can find eight in an hour.

I know. Well, Mark Mark don't listen to him. I was gonna at the start of this go well you probably can't list all of the birds you've seen but you actually can. Take us through your full night. Magpie, pigeon, sparrow. That's the clarify like I'm not going out specifically searching for birds like I'm just going about my life. Yeah. Unless you lived underground. Yeah. No, you're just going about your real life. And should you come across a bird, it gets catalogued. Can I, can I have a stab at what you've got? Magpie.

The Magpie is on there. Yes. Yeah. Pigeon. Seagull. Seagull's got to be on there. Seagull's on there. Yep. The common rock pigeon. That was my first. You never forget your first. Sparrow. No. No, forget your first. Sparrow. No. No, and it's Sparrow's.

Dreamworld today actually I think. Hopefully I'll add that one today. Miner. Dreamworld. Yeah, Indian Minerbird that's going to be there. Yeah, I think it's called a common Minerbird. Yeah, that's common Miner. Common Miner.

Yep. What about like a crow or a raven? Crow. Yeah, I think crow is one of them. And then I think the last one you haven't mentioned is the yellow crested cockatoo, a personal favourite. Well, that's a good one. So now we're getting into premium birds.

I see one every day. A cocky. Yeah, well, it just depends. I mean, it depends if you're in the area. Yeah, the other challenge with it is that you need to actually get close to the birds for the app to register or birdie You sort of have to get within about I'd say four or five meters like any further away. It's when you zoom in I'm in touch with the common man

I've only got a five-on-eleven camera So yeah, otherwise it just looks like a big blur of nothing Yeah, and okay, so it just looks like a big blur of nothing. Yeah. And okay, so it relies on a bit of AI. So if you're walking, like let's say you're going to the bus stop or whatever or you're like going to work, will you deviate off your path to get closer to a bird? Like is it drawing you away that much? If you saw, you know, like a Rosella or a good bird, would you go looking?

For a rare bird I would. If I see a common pigeon, I'm not deviating. Well, you've already got it. You've got it. Yeah. Michael, have you thought about how much is this hoey taking over you? Because it feels at the moment with only eight birds, an eight bird score. It feels like you've just dipped the tip of your beak in here.

Yeah, and it feels like it could be a massive peter out. And in which case case I would be very nervous bringing it up with your group of friends. Well, that's the thing. Like I think it might Peter out if I don't get the sense that this is a cool acceptable hobby to keep going with. So I guess I think I requested in my email to Hamish that maybe, I mean, I'm a big fan of some of the work Jack has produced and the jingles you've done.

So if I could get something that sort of amps it up, makes it look cooler than it is, show my friends. What about this? This is my favorite kind of thing we can do on the show, which is offering a really beautiful gesture from the Hamish Andy Show with all the works done by Jack. What if we offer you an absolute original Jack Post classic song about how great the digital bird collecting is? And then also you mentioned sports like, you know, you guys talk about sports a lot. Like, what if we could get us like a sports star that meant something to the group?

Oh, yeah. What sports of sports are they into? Oh, that'd be awesome. Yeah. Everyone's into cricket, um, rugby league. So if we can get a cricket player to talk about, um, how great digital bird collecting is, would that help the cause? Boys, that would be unreal. If you could do that, I don't think I'd ever give up the hobby.

Here's how I think you should do it. I think you should go to the group first and tell me everything about this, Ando. He goes to the group first and goes, guys, I just want to like reveal to the group. I've been doing digital bird collecting. I'm really into it. I've got eight so far, but I dream of low twenties. And then there'll be some probably some snickering and some, you

know, some gentle questioning. Then you go, all right, well, what's this space guys? Cause within a week I'll prove to you it's cool. So then on the next, then after you do that, Michael, then on the show and we get my, we get Michael and a few of his mates up and then we have our, you know, our endorsement because it might seem like a paid post. If you like a cameo. Should we see if we can get a cricketer to record a video as if they're doing it,

like they are participating it naturally rather than down the barrel? Like, yeah, it's like, so it's like a sister or brother going, what are you up to there? Mitch Stark. And he's like, oh, sorry, I think I've just caught a kookaburra. That does sound like a paid endorsement to a cricketer. But you know what I mean? Or do you think it's better with a, like a personal down the barrel endorsement? I just, I just, you know, I just wonder whether that's good.

What about if Michael, if we got like, say it's Mitchell Stark, um, Australian fast bowler, if we got him to, or whoever, to send you a message, like, Hey Mike, you know, I got your number from the app, the digital bird club. I just want to let you know, I'm in it too. Like if you're ever in town, like let's, let's, let's hunt some feather together. Yeah. Boys, that sounds good to me. Michael, we'll get into all of that and we'll be sure to circle back, particularly by the

end of the year. If you don't let this Peter out, we won't let this Peter out and we will make Digital Bird Collecting Cool for you, we hope. Okay, sure boys. What's an acceptable number of birds to come back to the show with? You have to be in the 20s. Alright. I saw that, aren't I? You're the one that's in the 20s. You have to get close to the show with. Oh, you have to be in the 20s. Oh, right. I saw that, aren't I? You're the one.

You have to get close to them though. You have to get really close. I'm on your phone, I think. I think it's the first play to start. I mean, did you say you're at Dreamworld today? Yeah. Oh, I'm at Dreamworld, yeah. Oh, they could be birds.

Yeah, hey. That's the beauty of outside. You never know where they're going to pop up. Birds are for real. Go to a zoo. You're going to be in a zoo. Yeah. You're going to be in a zoo.

Yeah. You're going to be in a zoo. Yeah. You're going to be in a zoo. Yeah. You're going to be in a zoo. Yeah. You're going to be birds, hey. That's the beauty of outside. You never know where they're going to pop up. Birds are for real. Go to a zoo. No, no, that feels too forced. OK, OK.

I did love the realization there that, you know, how exciting it adds to any activity you're doing outside that could be birds. Michael, good luck. We'll be back in touch. All right. Thanks, boys. Have a good one. Tanya, mate. I know it's a few weeks ago now, not that long ago, a couple of weeks ago, but I've just been slightly biding my time to see if any more information comes out. But are you across the...

Do you see the Tesla robots, the Optimus robot, the humanoid? Yeah, how do you feel about that? They look too much like the robots from iRobot. That was one issue I had. And they're evil robots, aren't they? You know iRobot, those robots... Eventually. Yeah, but like, so if you're going to make a robot... They have a switch.

They have a switch. And that's the first thing you say, get rid of the good bad switch. Like, just keep them good. Keep them good. Um, but yeah, so if you're going to make a robot, don't make it look like the ones that tried to kill humanity. Yeah. Don't, don't make it look like T 1000. Like, no.

Please like be, yeah. Give it, make it a bit friendlier, but it is pretty, it is pretty similar. I don't know if not much people have seen them. I haven't found any other stuff except that initial launch video. So maybe more stuff's coming out in the interim. But from what we can gather, yeah, they're like a humanoid robot. Elon wants them to cost about $30,000 US, you know, and when, you know, to get the price down, he sort of just wants one in every house.

And the big sale was like, look, they'll just do whatever you want them to do. They're like, they can play games with you. Like one of the, one of the, on the video, they're all playing like Monopoly together. And I'm sitting there going, I have a machine that plays games with me. It's a PS5. And it does a better job than just being the guy that pops the pop-o-matic bubble on trouble next. Yes.

Like, you don't want to get a robot for board games, but the, you know, weirdly you ring this up, Ham, because the first person I thought out was you, Jack. Yeah, but I think the fun of playing board games is to play- No, no, not about the board games. You're always looking to burn 60 grand on the board game part. No, about a robot to do things for you. You could go, but I'm just a little boy. But I'm just a little human boy.

No, when youar is capable. The robot would do- If he did do dishes like do like- That's what they're saying. Chores around the house. They're saying he'll do chores, right? Yes. So already, rumors are like, oh God, okay, we're out of a job.

But then it was stuff like, the slightly odd thing was, then he, like at the party, the robot was handing out drinks to people. Yeah. I think it's just gonna to take a little while. Like, oh, that's okay, mate. I might actually, I'll make my own. Like, I don't have a thousand percent trust what this robot's giving me to drink. Yes.

The other thing is they move a bit slow. Yeah. It's a bit on the slow side. So it's like, it can fold the washing. And when you see it like, there's a bit of you that goes, all right, mate, just. Like, it's not quite the speed. You can go and do something else. Yeah.

Like while you're, I mean, even if it worked eight times slower than me, if I was out for the day off doing the pod with you guys, if I came back and a bunch of those, that stuff would be done. That'd be good. All right. How's this? So you come back and you go, you go, hey, you follow the washing, you follow the dog's outfits. And it goes, sure did. And you go, did you do anything

else? He goes, no. Oh. And this robot's been in your house all day. Why did you pause? Processing. Well, you process everything else very quickly, including your response to that. Battery's a bit low. You seem to be firing off defensive. Yeah CPU's back up now. Glitch. Just a glitch. Okay. All good mate. Okay were you up to anything while I was away? No. It's just I mean coming back to the robot the biggest strange one I think for me was like it can look after

your kids was another baby. He's like, not yet. Not quite yet. Don't worry, guys, the robot's here. And especially if it's a friendly robot, like if something happens, someone tries to break into your house and the kids, I suppose, just as bad if a human babysitter is there, but I don't know, feeling like the robot's going to do anything is, I think, a false.

To protect your kids, you mean? This is the one. This is the one that got me the most. Where it's like, this is where I was like, this is where I think Elon's like vision of utopia might not mesh with reality. When it's like it can walk your dog, right? So you're sending it out of the house now on chores.

And the other one was like, it can just go and get groceries for you. So you'd be like, okay, optimist, you're going to get us two liters of milk. In my experience, right? If you say go and get two liters of milk and the robot just, okay, walks off out the door and he's off, it's probably going to take him two hours to walk to the shops, get the milk.

Like you see him walking up and down the aisles, like looking for milk, going to check out and stuff. Let's not forget, like we, you know, about 10 years ago in Melbourne, we were all living there and they had their first go at the city bikes. At the wine bikes. Everyone threw them in the Yarra. Everyone threw them in the river. Sydney had a similar thing, where we were just chucking them in the ocean. Okay, because then you go on the app and you see they're all, they're all like, there's a pile of them in the river. If you see a robot walking along the street, I mean, a thousand percent people are picking the robot up and chucking it in a tree.

Especially if you're like, this is from some guy that's got 60 grand to burn on a milk messenger. This is from some guy that's got 60 grand to burn on a milk messenger. Yeah, totally. Like 100% you're strapping it to the tree. Like botnapping will be outrageous. Or even, I suppose if you kidnap it, they could track you. But you tell me this. But just tie it to a tree or like push it in the bush. Tie it to a tree, push it over.

I'm not trying to encourage this by any means. And I hope we live in a society where we're not doing this to other people's property, I guess. But what would be the offense you'd get charged with if you tied the robot to the tree? I just don't like, it'd be the same. Like what's the charge? Because it's not a human. It doesn't have like, rights.

You haven't assaulted someone. If you took my microwave and tied it to the tree. It's the same thing. Until the law catches up and starts giving robots some weird rights. It's the same as if I just happened to tie your bike to the tree, which is not jailable and very funny. That's the biggest problem. Hey, it's obviously our last break before CONCON next week.

Only two more weeks until the government made a break. Final things for CONCON, we should quickly point out. True. We've had a great show today, but you're right. I mean, our minds are on CONCON. It's this weekend for people going, but even if you're not going, you know it will happen this weekend and you know that next week's show will be the full wrap up. Yep.

You've got a treat for everybody at the welcome drinks. Oh, I thought I'd mention this, but maybe I just mentioned it off, off air to Ando, the people's, the show's preferred magician, Magic Mike, hashtag not a stripper. Magic Mike is going to come, he's, he's agreed to come to the registration, Mark is going to come, he's agreed to come to the registration drinks and Rome and do some educational magic. What's educational magic? Well, as I was about to say, he's going to do some magic for people at the registration drinks.

I realized that could come across as entertaining. And so he'll have a business edge. Yes. He'll have a business edge to each magic trick. Each magic trick will be a metaphor about business. Perfect. And does he know that or are you just saying that? He's about to find out.

The other thing is we've heard back from Conrad Sewell, who has laid down the song for us. So we thought we'd leave you this week with this little taste ahead of the live version and maybe you can remember the lyrics because I'm sure there'll be some singing along once we get to Con Con. This is a great idea though, Ando. We put the song out now. It's like listening to the album on the way to the concert. People will listen to this and if you are coming to Con Con, the atmosphere in there at the end of both session one and session two where he plays the same thing again, it's going to be electric. Different kind of love is his song following the plan outlined above is ours in conjunction with him and this is the business version. How did we end up here without eyes filled with tears?

Can't we lead like we're young again? Only you know the sheets we've been through We've survived COVID plans back in black again And you're the missing link in my supply chain When it drops profit straight down the drain I wouldn't go changing management, no We can have more internships And I'll never let you forget

I think it's time to make some head I know the global market As long as we're together Following this plan down the line above Following this plan down the line above No other way to say it Nobody knows it better Following the plan down the line above

Following the plan down the line above Following this plan down the line above This plan down the line above Thanks for listening. The Hamish and Andy podcast will return next week. Catch up or contribute at HamishandAndy.com
