Hamish & Andy - 2025 Ep 305 - Use These Power Moves Wisely

Episode Date: August 20, 2025

We’ve finally locked in the date for our attempt at the World’s Tallest Hat record! We also hear from some very trustworthy candidates to officiate the big day. A few wild power moves have come our way - including one that honestly needs a warning label. Plus, Hamish takes us on an emotional journey as he buys a new baking pan. Meanwhile, despite Andy’s best efforts, Mick (Andy’s dad) is still refusing to ditch his ancient 20-inch TV... so the boys cook up a sneaky plan to trick him into an upgrade.  1. Tallest hat - trustworthy listeners 2. Power moves 3. Operation Win Mick a TV 4. Hamish’s new baking pan 5. The Lee Family Gazette 

A Listener Production Activate your internet Because the Hamish and Andy podcast starts in three Two Sorry, still buffering One Ahoie to me God, Hamish.

Oh wow. Uh-oh, it's nicknames we had in Eurasia. I couldn't help it I was too good at sports It's like I'm in a huge gambling debt And I have to do something for the rest of time No it's not that In fact I think this is hard this one guys

Okay But a hoi to me Coca-Cola Jack Okay Ahoy And things that are popular Well you're on the right track I am Titanic Or Titanic?

It's the way we use these words rather than actually a link between them. Well, I mean, do you, people will say like, okay, that's the God tier of something if it's like the best, I don't know, hat you can get. For example, our tall hat would be the God tier of hats. But I've never had Coca-Cola tier. And the Titanic tiers. That's what you think is going to be great. Let's hope our hat is not Titanic Tear.

was very big and it seemed like it would do a good job. Uh-oh, who's this guy wearing a giant iceberg running at us? It's the other tall record holder. I don't know. We have security for that. Well, we have an Irish sailor. Let's hope he does a good job keeping a lookout. They are the three most recognised words in the English language.

Really? Fair enough. Isn't that, I mean, it's an odd thing to measure. But yes, it's the three most recognized words in the English. God and Coca-Cola, I understand, because they've got a fair bit of marketing behind it. But, you know, there's still got a heap of people getting the word out. But Titanic, that is a left field. That is out of left field, like all publicity is good publicity.

People are still talking about it. That's it. Why did you crash? Why did you crash her? Look, if we've just made the voyage, it would have just been another regular old voyage. But people are still talking about it. True. I wonder if we'd even know what the Titanic was today. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. If it didn't crush.

You'll think if you're a relative of one of the victims, you'd be happy enough for it to just go. No, exactly. But, you know, James Cameron, for instance, thrilled. Thrilled. Thrilled. He even went on to win Oscars for it and made a lot of money. So, you know, there was a self-field money. Yeah, tough one for him to settle. Yeah, there. Tough conundrum. Yeah. Different film, if it made it.

Boring film. Quick, and not as many. Yeah, certainly not as many Oscars. Ahoy, also to David. In Canada, Ham, used a very easy-to-use system in hamishnery.com to tell us what he's been up to. Ahoy, boys. This is David from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

I started listening to the podcast about a year ago. I've been listening at a rate of about two episodes a week, and I just finished episode 100. So a little discouraging to see that I'm still 195 episodes behind. I would love to catch up. someday and be right in there with the modern episodes, but I'd love to be able to contribute to what's happening in the podcast, but it feels like I'm too far behind. So I have this idea of a way that you can give a little wink, a little nod to me and all the other very important

podcasters that are trying our best to catch up from a distance behind. So in a few seconds, I'm going to say a swear word. And then I'll know, because I'll check at the most recent podcast that you've released in the next few weeks. If I see a little E beside the podcast name for explicit, then I'll see that as you almost giving me and all the other podcasters that are behind a nice, warm, appreciative, acknowledging hug. So three, two, one, fuck. Cheers, boys. Okay. I mean, he gave fair warning and there's no chance we're not getting an E on that because it's nice and clear. It was clear as day.

Enunciated, well, do you know, I was just like, what does this feel like? This feels like interstellar. Like, it feels like a message from the past that appears in the future. Like, it does feel like he's time travelling somehow because he's stuck in the past, listening to these old messages from like four years ago, these old podcasts. I just appreciated that he gave the countdown. So if anyone I was in cars with kids,

they could easily just dip at that point. And I appreciate that he's doing two a week. that's twice the recommended serving. He's a hungry boy. But you can be hungrier than that. You could do five a week. Oh, that's too much. It's just too much.

But that's why we'll be sick of us by the time he comes up, which we just ruin it. You've got a rational. It's a real gustus gloop, isn't it? Yeah. You can have all the podcasts you want, but it will make you sick. But that is sort of what the government mandated break. If there is any silver lining in that,

while Nanny and I screaming at the sky, just railing against the break. You can use that to gorge if you want even three episodes a week to close the gap. So best of luck. If you've got a friend that is stuck in the past doing that, we recommend they use their summer wisely. Haim, we've got to get onto something that no doubt he'll enjoy once he gets there. It's a huge announcement today of our quest to break the record for having the tallest hat.

The Inside Word Conversations of Tor hat construction Thanks to top stage Advanced Composites We make cool stuff out of fibreglass and carbon Okay genuine things are being locked in here We've done just enough updates I think I think people go okay we don't

We get it Updates We get it It's a hat that is much taller than any other hat I've ever seen We get it and it's not easy to make such a hat I've never made one No one's ever made one.

It is the world's tours. There's engineering involved. All of that, I think, is almost done. Yes. It's now time, at some point, you've got to put the bastard on your head and walk. And that's what we're gunning for. That's the, not that I'm trying to just add more e-words into this episode, but at some point, we just got to walk.

When are we doing it, Andy? We can tell everybody that we will attempt. I mean, this could have been a Peter out. It had Peter Al all over it. Should have been. In fact, I think I called it early. Yeah. And on that, top stage advanced composites have done a fantastic job, haven't they?

They actually saved it probably from being a Peter out, because once they started, it would be so rude to not do it after they put so much work in. Yeah, we've now, we're almost, you think the hat is a passenger on us, but we're merely passengers underneath the hat, whoever gets to pilot it. In three weeks from today, we'll be attempting the record, everybody. and you'll hear it on September 11th. Yep, that's when that possible drop. Yeah, that Thursday is September 11th.

I think we're doing the attempt on September 8. How is the hat getting out? Have we already talked about this? How does it get from? Because we're going to do it at Hogs' warehouse. We just need a place. Outside is obviously susceptible to wind, and you'd hate for the attempt to get ruined by wind or rain.

So you need an indoor place with a very, very high. roof. Yep. Logistics of all that we'll talk about next week because what we need to do is we put out at hamishnady.com who could come and be our officials, like when Tatslotto has government officials that make sure that it is obviously all legit.

Because this all was because we discovered it costs tens of thousands of dollars if you get Guinness involved. Yeah. You know, that's how, and that's fine. That's how they make their cash, but they rely on FM breakfast shows around the world deciding that it's worth $10 or $20,000 or $30,000 to go for a Guinness World record and stuff your underpants full of as many bait beans as you can.

See if you can beat the record by two or three beans. Take it off those guys from San Francisco. Bring it back to Brisbane or whatever your desire is. That's how Guinness makes their money and that's fine. We are like, well, why don't we just save that money? Yes. And we will all know we've got the record. We don't need to be in a book.

We'll know we've got the record. record, and we'll know because we have the most trustworthy listeners watching it to make sure everything was above board. We put a form up at hamish.com asking for people to apply to be our officials ham. I think the form was, we're measuring people and prove their trustworthiness, just general trustworthiness, how well they can take in distances, both vertical and horizontal. That's very important for this. And the ability to pay attention, because obviously, you know, we're hoping it's...

We've got to walk 10 whole metres and you don't want someone getting to distracted halfway through the walk and then have it. The worst thing you could have from a government official is have them nudge the person next to them and go, what happened? You just never see that. No, you never see that. Now, we're hoping it's one and done,

but there might be multiple attempts here if we can't get it right. As long as the hat holds up. Yeah, we'll keep trying. Anyway, these were the submissions. Skill required. Extreme trustworthiness. I'm incredibly trustworthy. As a teen, I worked for the Queen's Estate

in a coffee shop and an American tourist came in once and offered me 10,000 pound for the apron I was wearing simply because it had the Crown Estate logo on it. I didn't sell. What team turns down 10,000 pounds? I'm extremely trustworthy. I'm registered with Engineers Australia and underneath the Commonwealth Statutory Deculations of 1993, I can actually witness a stat deck. That's a pretty trustworthy thing to be able to do. I'm also a Justice of the Peace, which is the most trustworthy the member of the community. I haven't progressed a shopping centre, JP table, but hey, dare to dream boys.

A couple of years ago, I met you at the Mick Fanning Golf Day ended up with Andy's personal email address in order to pass that on to the person at work that looks after our partnerships, or, to speak plainly, the Weasel Opportunity Department. And ever since, resisted the temptation to ruin his presumably extremely tidy and well-maintained inbox

with all kinds of dodgy website sign-ups. Skill required. Distance judgment. As a former youth international pool volter, I feel uniquely qualified to help judge the tall hat record attempt. I used to cheerlead and my role within the team was the flyer. So I was the one standing on the shoulders getting tossed in the air. So very, very experienced up high. I know the above head height topography like the back of my hand.

With golf, I don't use a range finder. I just pick the club so I can guess the distance pretty well. And also with my work, I actually have to calculate distances. So that's pretty good. So when someone tells me that they're six feet tall, I have to mentally stack six footlong sandwiches end-to-end to visualize how big that is. If you, for some reason, decide to go in Imperial,

I will have to use a workaround based around meatball subs, but I'm sure we can make that work. For the past 20 years, I've studied measurement as a registered surveyor, so you can confirm the world's talls at to a legally binding standard. Still required. Hyperfixated attention. I'm a statistician at the... Australian Open tennis. I get paid to watch tennis and basically never blink. And if you know

tennis, you know matches can go for 45 minutes or five hours. And I'm there courtside, laser focused the entire time. Yeah, with TikTok these days, the least three second videos, I can actually sit through like a 15 to 20 second TikTok. So I'm pretty sure I'll be able to watch the whole thing. I'm a mummer too. So at any given time, there's a million things happening. There's dinner cooking on the stove. There's a three-year-old about to draw on a newly painted wall, and there's an 18-month-old climbing on absolutely anything she can reach. And I'm across it all. Nothing gets past me. I've been working on paying attention with cricket season approaching. I pride myself on being able to watch the entire first session of a test without falling asleep.

Come to lunch break her afternoon sessions, all bets are off. Hopefully the hat launch will be in the morning, but I understand that atmospheric conditions may impact take off. So many candidates, hey. Wow. Is anyone that stands out to you that's a must? Yeah, I do like the idea of the, the junior pole volta. Yeah. And I loved it.

Who was the woman that was, I understand the top, above the head. She was a flyer. She was a cheerleader. I like someone that understands what it's like up there. And she's almost lived as a hat. You know, she's been up at hat height. So I feel like she's going to be there. The civil engineer, I mean, the surveyor, sorry, the surveyor who legally can, could he bring one of the things on the tripod?

Well, that'd be nice, wouldn't it? Even if we don't use it. It'd be nice to let it look out there as proper. Look, we'll reach out to them. Obviously, we've got the date now. This is so exciting. Five, should we fly in five? I mean, a few of them from Britain, so we're not going to do that.

It seems like a long trip. It's fly in five. We'll fly in five people. Because ever since the special skills debacle, you know, we've been saving $80, $90 a week that we were spending on the cheapest available airfares. And so let's just blow it on this. Yeah. And look, it's money that would have gone to Guinness had we chosen that route. So this is a much better way to spend it on the people.

And they're not anti- Guinness. And I might even suggest we go and have one to celebrate. Oh, would they like that, do you think? Or do you think, is that a... Wouldn't it be nice? to be able to say, and you know what, the other day, we had a Guinness and a world record. We had a Guinness and a world record. And when we post a picture of it, we can just do Guinness, comma, world record.

That's the caption. We've got it, mate. We've absolutely got them on a barrel there. Hey, they keep coming in, and we do want to be known as the podcast that you can turn to to get the upper hand in any social situation, hence power moves. Can I start with one that I'm not sure he's a power move, but I did find it amusing anyway. That is, that is a category all in itself. It's from Jacinto.

I think she's flags that she's not sure if it's a power move. She said, for some friends of mine live in a sharehouse situation with some family friends, a mum, dad, daughter and then a couple of family friends, which I think is an interesting Yeah, it's a sitcom. When the daughter moved out to go into state, they didn't repurpose her room, but they use it now as the fart room. And they all go purposely in there to release gas. I mean, it's not a power move.

No. I mean, when she comes back and goes, what has happened in my room, I guess that's one to go, well, can we tell you a little secret? We've done eight months of farts. Well, she says it's been nearly a year since. out, but there still remains the fart room. I mean, the farts will get out eventually, but I suppose they will soak it. Well, they, over time, soaked in?

No, I just think it's, I think it's the feel of the... The disrespect of it. Yeah, I think that's more the issue. That is true, isn't it? Yeah, I mean, look, yeah, it's a kind of power. What do you guys do with my room while I was away? Don't worry about it. Yes.

Hame kicks off. Okay. look this is in a certainly in the category of um well no pun intended but it is an asshole move um this is can be used against someone who has done you wrong writes lennon and i think i think it might be a bit of a classic too but you've got to admit it is a power move write their phone number on the stall of a public toilet and look at the time i was thinking okay just you know we've got to be careful where these ones go but write the words send me a photo of your poo.

This is forever a power move as the individual cannot stop it. They can't block the people that are sending the photos because it's going to be a different person each and every time. Yeah. I would say, that is awful. Use Keff. Like, obviously, use very wisely.

That's like nuclear codes. I mean, you invade. It's hard to walk that one back. You're going to wake up six months down the track and go, I shouldn't have done that. I need to either drive back to Aubrey. and go to that pub or call the pub and go, listen, cubicle four, I've had to think about it and I regret what I did.

Also, an Aho move here from Joab. It seems to be more of those moves than pleasant ones, but he goes, this actually happened to me, and I can confirm how small and powerless it made me feel. Right. Picture this, you're at a friend's place for a party or a hangout, and they've got a Google Nest or Alexa. He's got Google Nest.

Something similar, a speaker in the living room. When you leave, you're about to, casually say, Hey, Google, set an alarm for 3am and crank the volume to 100%. Someone did it to them? Yes, he said, I then got a text from my friend saying, thanks for having me sleep well. Really good. This comes from a man that said, please don't use my full name.

Okay. But I'm only going to use the first. initial, so he knows who he is. C. See. If you're in a position like I am at work and you are just so sick of replying to emails from customers demanding things from you, simply turn on your vacation response, but put in the message, this email violates company email policy and therefore has been rejected

automatically. So you never have to respond, and they're just left wondering, what did I do that violated the policy? I really like that. Natalie, power move. It's a social media power move. When you see a video on social media, TikTok or Instagram or someone flexing where they're showing off that they're hot

or they're showing off luxury. You should be able to find one of those on that. You might. Comment something like, I think I saw you working at McDonald's at Westfield. You had such great service. That is good. All right, last one.

From Lily here, she's reporting her boyfriend. She's in the UK at the moment. He is, this has happened to him. I guess he's come home and gone, I didn't know what to do about this. And she's gone, well, me neither, but I know who to tell about it. He's a teaching assistant. And which usually means you're younger.

Like, you know, you might only be five years older or less. than like the students that you're teaching you through at a high school. And the kids have started calling him virgin. And he is in a pickle because he doesn't know what to say. He can't argue with them that he's not a virgin. But he can't also just accept the nickname virgin. So he's really checkmated. It's a good bad.

Hey, a few weeks back, I was telling you about how my dad's never bought a TV in his life. Somehow, he's won two? One two in a raffle. Got one from you when you moved out and that. My calculations has gone through 60, no, it can't be, but 50 years of television. Yeah, that's it. So nearly, 45. Still a lot of years per TV.

That is an economical use of TVs. And his current TV, though, the current TV is the biggest, that's the showstopper that I tell people when I'm retelling this story. Like, I guess how big Andy's dad's TV is? And they go, oh, 110 inches, thinking that you've set your old man up well. Yeah, no. No, you're off by some 90 inches. It's 20.

20-inch telly. Huge for a MacBook. Yeah. All for a TV. And so I've been encouraging him to get a bigger one. I was going to help him out. He doesn't want a bigger one. He's like it sits nicely in the purpose-built cabinet that we built in 1994, which we thought we were oversizing because we thought televisions will get bigger.

And so he's been reluctant to take on bigger telly. We're having a giggle about that. The fact that his television is 20 inches. And Hame, you said we should make it feel like he won another one. Well, he's refusing. If he refuses to buy one and won't let you buy one for him, the only way around this, yeah, is to treat. him into thinking he's won one.

He's won two from a raffle. We've gone down that route again. I set the scene. We went out to where dad lives. I met a young fellow called Angus there, who's in the scouting association. We thought if he's selling raffle tickets for scouts, dad was a scout leader. Yep, that's absolute. Cryptonite.

Well, no, opposite of catnip, micknip for your dad. And there is a scouting theatre show called Campbellwell Showtime. which I was on stage with. And so, and that was the kind of thing they do fundraisers for. So Angus is a scout from the exact scout hall that Dad was at. Perfect. Okay. And he was selling tickets to raise funds for Campbellwell Showtime.

Okay. This is like when, I don't know how deep people are into their fishing, but when you go fishing and the bait perfectly matches what the species would eat. We cannot miss here. We will catch a snapper. This is the perfect bait. We never miss with this. And we know exactly where the snapper is.

Yes, it's a school of one. We're going to dangle the bait right in front. There's no fish can resist this. So the only worry was, would he have money on him? You know, because it was $2 a ticket, and we didn't have F-Boss facilities. So that was the only worry for us. Anyway, we met in a side street, and it's kind of like a reversed heist. We're actually trying to get a TV into his house, but through a raffles.

situation. Angus's mom was there. She dropped him off and waited in a side street and we met to see if we get the first part of this whole ruse underway. The team assembled in a perfectly ordinary patch of suburbia. No dark alleys, no smoky back rooms, just the masterminds behind the operation and a plan to pull off one of the greatest reverse heists of all. time. All right Angus. Yeah. Part of Operation Make Dad believe he's won another TV in a raffle.

We have a mini operation before that which is Operation Get Dad to buy a raffle ticket. Of course. You've been bought in. Yep. You're the perfect candidate because you go to the Scout group that my dad used to be a leader at that I used to go to. First Canary. So be prepared for boring stories from him.

It's always from Scout ladies, isn't it? Yeah. Okay, good. So you know the drill. You're going to go up, try and convince him to buy one. Yep. Yeah, do you want to practice at all or? Yeah.

Okay, good. Oh, hey, welcome. I'm here selling tickets, fundraising for Campbell Showtime. Oh yeah, he'll know Showtime. One thing though, when you said welcome, he'll be at his house, so you don't have to welcome him. That's good pick up. That's good, that's good. Yeah, so do you want to buy ticket?

Oh, how much the ticket? Two dollars, cheap. Yeah, how can I find. Big prizes as well. Okay, awesome. He might ask the prizes you can miss them, but I'm more likely I think he's going to go, Showtime. Of course.

Someone's in showtime. There you go. And then he'll start telling you long stories. I love that. I think you just have to bear with them. Yeah, I'll stick through it. And then get in the ticket, the other details.

Yep. And then you can just walk out as if you go into the next house. We'll pick you up in the getaway car. Perfect. Sounds good. We're on here. We're on.

The crew was set. This was part Ocean's 11, part school carpool. There was still some small details to decide a part. as they made their way to Andy's dad's house. Jess, you're the getaway driver? I'm so nervous.

Who are you channeling? Are you channeling Ryan Gosling from crash? With a crash? Right, drive. That's probably should know that. What's that lady with the curly hair that she's the kick in the key, that's immediate? She's in the car. Melissa McCarthy?

Yeah, that's who I'm doing. Okay, right, I don't know the reference. Is she a good driver? Yeah, but she's really annoying. like she annoys the guy. Right. Or what about baby driver? Oh, that's a great movie.

Great movie, yeah. Oh, what's that recently? Now we're in Angus's level of film. I have no idea what that is. Alright, we're pulling into Dad's Street, same suit I'd grow up on. And then, I think you just just pull up here and we'll let Angus out. It's on the right, it's on the right-hand side. It's the white picket fence there.

Perfect. Yep. Easy. And now I'll just walk towards this end of the street. Yeah, and don't be done. distracted by the box hedges at the front, because I've made them all with my box hedge company when I was about 12 years old, and they are really impressive.

So just, again, keep focused. Perfect. Got a job today. Yeah, okay, good luck. With Angus wearing a wire, the plan was in motion. The crew went dark. From the safety of the getaway car, the man who started it all could only watch and listen in,

Hoping the target took the bait. Didn't you seem very nervous, think? That's great, it's cool. The doorbell looks like. No, you can back at us. Don't look at eyes. Hello. Nice to me, I'm Angus.

I'm selling tickets. We're fundraising for Campbell Showtime. Oh, perfect. About kids are in the showtime. Oh, there you go. Thank you. Thank you. He's made a good start. He's conversing with Dad.

He didn't look nervous at all. I've got 10s and coins, so I should have changed. Door's opening, doors opening, doors opening. Oh, awesome, thank you. There's 10. Thank you. I'll write you your tickets out. So you're saying your kids are in it? Yes, yes. Alex Lee's back then and... Oh yeah?

And Andy Lee. There you go. Ah. Name rings a bell. What was your name? Michael. Michael. I'll put your name on them.

He's doing a great job. Lee? Yeah, yeah. There you go. Have you got your phone number on you? Big Spender. Perfect. I'll give you five.

Oh, yes, sorry. I'll do that. We've got five tickets. Thank you. I'll tell you out five tickets. Five. So you write your name on the other one, see? Yes.

That's good joke from Dad. joke from dad. Nice know where he gets it from. My name's Angus. Angus. There you go. Enjoy. Thank you for buying some tickets.

Enjoy. Thank you. Amazing. Like taking candy from a baby. Or like giving TV to an old man. Oh, he's going back this week. He's done bloody well. Get him straight back in the car.

Sensational. Sensation. Get him. Get him. All right. Get your head down. Well, you don't have to make it. I should, don't.

All right. Tell us what we're cleared, yes. And just like that, they were out of there. The kid stayed cool. And the target? Blissfully unaware, he's about to be the new owner of a 55-inch 4K beauty. Mission accomplished. Yeah, we're cleared.

Oh, well done. You didn't like that. regular listener car. Whatever film you're talking about there. I love... Get your head down, get your head down. Just in case Mick on the front porch goes, hey, you bastards trying to give me a free TV.

I've warned you, kids, start trying to give me TVs. But I think you got away with it. We had to drop his... Him back to his mom. And then he says, well, what do I do with the ten bucks? Because we had this day we had stolen. I think all, I mean, he's a scout, so he's going to do the right thing.

He's probably going to donate it to the troop. Well, I just said, yeah, that's you. That's yours, mate. Thanks very much. Sallacious headline. Andy Lee underpays child worker with pitiful cash payment, thieved from father. So we now enter phase two, and the final phase we hope, of this reversed

highest and we invite Lise into the studio. Hey Lys. Hey, guys. Um, huge week for you. You've obviously got to get the three groupings at the start of the episode. And that's obviously the worst work to work. It takes up most of your week. Double work week here, Lise. You have to come in. What are you more nervous about the three? Groups of three are you trying to prank dad. This prank. I'm scared. I don't want to stop it out. Because be honest, the groups of three takes five seconds. Don't know. Lise, we've given you a little bit of a backstory. You're Denise from the Burundara Scouting Association.

You're going to call Dad now, Michael, and just tell him that he hasn't won first prize, but he has won the second prize. It'd be interesting to see whether he doesn't want the 55-inch. We've listed as a 55-inch, and mum would protest that. This is the whole, and let's go back now, the whole reason we're doing this is because he wouldn't accept it from you as a purchase hander. There was obviously a simpler option here, which is, hey, I'm your son and I've bought your TV. And he's just like, I don't want it. And it also, he seemed, though, to warm to the idea.

And he enjoys his origin story, someone that only wins televisions. That's his superpower. So we're hoping he will just be like, okay, we know it's 35 inches too big, but will he accept it because he won it? Lise, I've just jotted down there for you. If you can at the end go,

have you ever won anything like this before? Because I just would like to see him again. If he reels off the list, If he reels off the list of the TV, he's one. Are you ready, Alas? Yes, I'm ready. Okay, here we go. Hello.

Hello, this is Denise calling on behalf of Burundara Scouting Association. Am I speaking to Michael? You are, you are? Oh, great, Michael, how are you? I'm well. We haven't won a rattle, have we? Well, you actually have. You bought a ticket.

I believe you bought a ticket. And I'm ringing to say that you've been successful because your ticket was drawn. You didn't win first prize, though, sadly, which was the hotel accommodation package. But you did get the second prize, which is a 55-inch Q-L-D TV. Oh, wow. Yeah, congratulations. Congratulations. That's our second one, move one.

Oh, second one from us. No, second TV, move one. Oh, so you've won. one TV before. Yes, yeah, which is great. That's perfect. But it's a while ago since we won that other one. How long ago?

Well, it's probably about 20 years ago. We've still got the same one even though our kids keep telling us no, it's the wrong one. Oh, really? Well, lucky, free upgrade for you. Oh, perfect. That's great. Oh, fantastic, Michael.

I'm glad you're excited about it. Someone will circle back to organise the delivery of the TV. grab your dates at you free so we can drop it off. Oh, great. Perfect. Thank you very much. Thank you so much for your support, Michael. Have a great day.

Thank you. Bye. Bye. You want a TV? Well done. Well, guys. Yes. We hear forcing family members to have enormous TV's lives.

Killed it. Killed it. Oh, outstanding. Also, the, we want a TV as he has. It's worked. It's worked. You keep putting it out there. He can go and take his vision board down now.

It's a 20-year-old vision board with cutouts from Vogue. Please get us a TV. I can't believe he didn't reference his first ever won. That's what he told me that he won at a primary school raffle. So maybe it's so, like that would have been 40 years ago, 45, so maybe he's a bit. No, but I love they went straight into reeling off his pedigree. Yeah, yeah. Sorry if I don't seem too excited there, Denise, because I kind of do this shit all the time.

Very good at winning TV. Well done, Lice. Thank you. And thanks to Angus as well. Before we go, should we just isolate that bit where he does, I think, yelled to mum. This is, Andy, this is what you're after. All the hard work is this is the bit where it pays off. You want a TV?

Amazing. Congrats, guys. A little bit of a must-be-nice here, self-reporting, but I bought a new baking pan the other day. Oh, no, you know. Come on, mate. Off Instagram? No, Jack.

Off the shelf at a shop. Really? At a homeware shop. Yeah, I saw it and went, you know what? That has been, but it wasn't meaning to buy it. So it wasn't impulse buy. Why were you in the shop? just looking at other stuff

doodling around I was just at Westfield just dawdling around right so you were in a Westfield and you're like I'll go I was waiting for Zoe I was just like come on and you just anything counts

as distraction when you got the kids like she was near Vine and it was going here and it was a homewheres you know it was like a homewheres type store yep so then it kind of popped back into I was like yes actually our baking current baking pan

is bent like it's gone a bit wonky and it's just so, it just has generations and generations and generations of burnt, you know, the black corners, like burnt olive oil, burnt butter, whatever is in the corner. And over, over years, that just becomes, when you do the dishes, when you have a baking pan, there are bits that you know a new, like, oh, that's the bottom of a potato. It's great off. And then there are bits that you just accept. It's not clean, because it's not there when you bought it. But there are parts in the

corner that you go, no, no, that's just part of the pan. I agree. That's moved over to the pan side. That's not removable anymore. We don't count that as food. It can't hurt anyone. It's been there for years. That's just become part of the furniture.

I view it like plaque on a tooth. It's like, well, you've got to go to the dentist to get that. Like, I'm brushing my teeth every night. Special equipment. Yeah. I don't know if you even can get this stuff off. I suppose I could find the old pencil and drill into it to see what's behind there. But, you know, like, how could.

Even if you use, like, chisels and stuff, like, that is just part of the pan. No, you can get it. After years. My dad is very good at it. Well, the thrill, like, you take the pan home. Yes. Right? And I was doing a roast.

You take the pan home and to have, it's just almost like your eyes can't believe it. Yep. Like, it's so new. It's the newest thing you've ever seen. Yes, I agree. It's a more intense feeling than a new car. You're just like, look at this thing. It's like, it's like, so.

sparkles because it's like this, the non-stick, and you're like, this is just wild. So, you know, give it a rinse. Zos, like, gave it a rinse, dried it and like it was ready to roast. Zoh is fierce on, you must rinse everything when it comes back from the shops. Really? I think we've talked about it before, actually, you won't let me wear t-shirts straight out of the packet. Because you're like, oh, the factory, the factory. I mean, what she thinks goes out of the factory is just people racing around, licking them,

like stamping their dirty feet on them, whatever happens. Anyway, wash it, put the potatoes in. You know, it was a crisp, a deep roast of the potatoes, a very deep roast. Even. And, well, I was like, okay, this is the first hit out of this pan. Yes. And there's some, yeah, very, very deep roast. But that's, we all love a well-cooked potato.

Hey, side, so then you have to wash it up, Brian. Yes. Meal was a hit. Do you do this, Anna, because I've got a friend this. does this and he's a bit, he's as pedantic as you, Marco. He has two scrubbers in the kitchen, because he, if you've cooked a chicken schnitzel, you've cooked a roast, whatever, and you've got a pan or something with a lot of oil and grease in it, he won't put the scrubber, you know, that has the clear, the tube

that has the detergent inside the handle. Yes. And the kind of the scrubbing head with the sponge. He won't put that into that snitzo oil because once the oil gets on it, it's then ruined forever. Yeah, I do it. So he has another one that comes in first and gets rid of the first layer, then he sends the pristine sponge in for the finishing job.

Yeah, I think I'm doing the same thing. Amazing. Particularly if there's some tough, tougher, like, you know, the bottom with the muck that you can't get off normally. I'll send in hot water, get the steel. I'll do hot water first. I'll take a layer of the oil. And then steel wool, the one that doesn't actually absorb anything, like not a

sponge, but like a steel will. Yeah, or one of those type of ones. and then go to the cleaning agent. Well, it was, I do have the steel wool. Anyway, so I watched the pan as good as I can, but the corners are burned, right? There's sun burning that's having the corners. Deep roast.

It was a deep roast. It was a very deep roast. And I gave it so much, Ando, and I had the steel wool, and it was starting to scratch the lighting. I'm like, this feels for poisonous and forever chemicals, so I don't want to do that. But it was a shame because one cook-in,

in two of the corners now, there's just some of that black and you go, did you have enough oil? Well, I've tried. What's that? Did you have enough oil for the when you started?

Yeah, I mean, it's just, you know, like it's drizzled in, like it's, there's a few centimetres of oil in the bottom. Yeah. But yeah, you go, it was just an interesting moment in the pan's history.

I just thought, here we are, we've seen the death of one pan and it's just gone out with decades of burn, like burns, like lay it on. And here we are at the birth

of the new. you pan one and done one in you go well welcome to the family like you you now live in those two corners forever and we'll never will you'll be with us for every meal for now on like you will be part of our life quite extraordinary so i just glanced at my phone um during that last break we had and dad has text the whole lee family gazette which is our family. Yes. This is easily big enough news to make the Gazette.

I've seen some of the stuff that makes the Gazette. The threshold is low. Yeah. It has in amongst the photos of my nephews, their grandkids, which tend to be a high rotation. Guess who just won a TV in a raffle, he writes. 55 inch is a bit big, though, for us. Oh, no, he's not quite a palm it off.

No, no, he's selling it. So, Mom's gone. Are you serious? They're not together. I just threw the raffle tickets out. Or is this a different raffle? My sister's then given laugh, laugh emojis. Then said, are you guys in the same room, talk to each other?

Can't wait to hear how this unfolds is from my sister. And congrats on the big win dad, X, X. Dad writes, I'm heading back into the bin now. He thinks he's lost it. My brother, what was the raffle for? Dad, Scouts Showtime Raffle. Beck chimes in with congratulations, Mickey, amazing star face, star eyes emoji. Dad then triumphantly goes, found them, and has taken a photo of five tickets all ripped up

and he's trying to piece them back together. He's already. He's one. Well, the idea, then they're going to get to the door and go, and now all we need to see is the completely unforgeable stub of your end of. The raffle ticket that looks like every other raffle book in the world. He writes not sure which one, but I'm getting the sticky tape out. Right.

I wrote back. Well done. Do you want me to mock up what the 55 inch looks like in your space? Because last time he got me to take a photo and put Photoshop different sizes up. And that's where we're at, too. That's where we're at the moment. Do we go, do we just for fun, go deep on this and have someone turn up at the door and go, now we just need to see the ticket.

Sorry, it looks like you've ripped these up and stuck them back together. That does void it. You look at the terms and conditions. Needs to be a pressing. I mean, now we've completely lost sight of why we started this. And now we're just messing with an old man. No, I think we stay the course. I think we try and get a TV in there.

I don't want to tell him, though, until the TV is in position, unlocked and unpacked and there's thrown out of the old one. chances of him hearing this, though, like, I don't know. We've got to move quick. We've got to move quick. No, but he'd be like my, I mean, my dad doesn't listen, but my mum doesn't either. But if it's, we've probably got to keep this stuff off socials. Yeah.

If mum saw this on a highlight, she'd be across it. But, yeah, let's keep it off socials. Okay. Thanks for listening. The Hamish and Andy podcast will return next week. Catch up or contribute at Hamish and Andy. dot com.
