Starting point is 00:00:00 A Listener Production Activate your internet Because the Hamish and Andy podcast starts in three Two Sorry, still buffering One Ahoy to me Jeremiah Pull frogs, hopefully
Starting point is 00:00:28 Or statues in Springfield, Ohio. No, ahoy to me, Conrad. Jack, Ahoy. Conrad, Jeremiah. And I am Belie. Are we brothers of something? Conrad, belly. I said to the girls outside, there's no way the guys are getting this.
Starting point is 00:00:50 And I'm unsure whether we should go with it. And they're like, what do you mean? Everyone will get this. Oh, I know where we're from. Yeah, Bianca watches it. Summer I turn pretty. He's got it. Wow.
Starting point is 00:01:01 If we're getting that. It's like, no, tomorrow. No, it's like the main characters. I know it's a show, but it's like huge.
Starting point is 00:01:09 It's gone like next level known. A series on Amazon called the Samurai turn pretty. I've seen the thumbnail, sure. Yeah. I've seen Beck watching it. Yeah. But yes,
Starting point is 00:01:19 well done, Jack. Who's the prettiest of us? Probably Andy. I think we've all blossomed. Yep. Have we? I've definitely got better.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Hang on, are we still talking about the show Or are we talking about just human? I think we were talking about looks in general. Do you think you're at peak physical? I've definitely got better looking. Yeah. What do you put it down to? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:01:42 I just like just growing up a little bit. You've had a glow up. Yeah, I think I have. I look back at old photos. I mean, like in my 20s, definitely when I started on the show. And I was like, you really were a little boy back then, weren't you? Yeah, I was. I was a really little boy, even at, like,
Starting point is 00:01:56 Like 27. I look at my wedding photos. At 27, I just looked like a little junior boy. Yeah. Why are we letting that Hage boy marry the bride? Ahoy also to Jared, who's in the US, who went to hamishanity.com to give us an update to what he's been doing. Ahoy, boys, and little boy, Jack. This is Jared calling you from Boise, Idaho, US. my wife she had me cleaning out one of the
Starting point is 00:02:30 several fruit bowl piles accumulated around the house and from one of them I wanted to share with you a couple of the key items that I pulled out first being the perfect skipping stone natural place to put that entire rings full of keys with no known locks
Starting point is 00:02:49 a pen light with dead batteries as well as half a dozen used but not fully dead batteries that don't fit the pen light. And of course, the main piece here is going to be the small case containing
Starting point is 00:03:05 my pulled wisdom teeth from 15 years ago, just in case I need a replacement down the road. Anyway, boys, thanks for the show. Talk to you. Great inventory. All worth hanging on to. Yeah. It's so hard to throw away a key that you don't know
Starting point is 00:03:21 where it goes. Oh my God. Yeah, the excitement. And batteries, because you always do the thing. We're like, I know we're not meant to throw these in the bin. We'll just let these linger here until we come up with a better disposal strategy. I asked to have the top of the show for something that's very important, something that a lot of people think has been a peter out. But no, it's sat in the back of my head for a very, very long time. Seven meter hat.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Seven meter hat. Here we bloody go. It's to do, ham. Oh, thank God. With the big ask. Oh, thank God. Yes. This is something Jack owes me.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Yes, I hadn't forgotten at all. I'm sure Jack had every night he would go to bed clutching his rosary beads and mumbling. May he forget the big ass. Yes. My only plan was, and this is all I could really ever do, was don't mention it. So hopefully it gets forgotten about you. Maybe we need a T-shirt. Remember to never mention the big ask.
Starting point is 00:04:22 You did lose Bitcoin of mine. We've actually put this together to bring everyone up the speed because it's been quite the saga for many a year. Nearly 10 years ago, Hamish and Andy lost two Bitcoin to the password gods. And even when Webgezer Jazz was hypnotized, he couldn't remember the password. Capital P, that's all. Capital P.
Starting point is 00:04:49 So one, two, three, four, so... One, two, three, four. Don't tell me its password, one, two, three, four. So when Jack was tasked with looking after some of Andy's Bitcoin, surely they learned their lesson. Can an email from Jack. Hi, man. So I've walked us into some interestingly familiar territory.
Starting point is 00:05:14 I currently do not have access to your or my Bitcoin. It's all just a little bit of history. What's happened, Jack? I will be unable to change for the use of Bitcoin. Let me read this. It is getting to the point now where we will be able to say to this team, put your hand up if you haven't lost us Bitcoin and no one will be able to raise their hands.
Starting point is 00:05:47 So a debt needed to be paid in either Bitcoin or another form. Jack has said he will transfer me the money because he's lost it. And I said I don't want that. I want the Bitcoin, that's right. But what I would like to propose, Jack, is one big ask.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Okay. At some point next year. Oh, a blank check ask. No, not money-based. No, but a favour-based. Jack means like a wild card. Like you get to, when you think of it, ask for any favour and I can't say no.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Yep. Give me a big ask. And I can't say no. No. Shark, I would be very careful. What about this? You have all summer to find the Bitcoin. But if you come back episode one of next year and you haven't found it,
Starting point is 00:06:36 the big ask is in play. That is sadly only fair. But summer was over. And the little boy was looking for an extension. To whom it made concern. Over summer, Jack has been spending much of his time helping his elderly neighbour with chores around her house. Let's see what is going, Jack.
Starting point is 00:06:56 With this increased extracurricular load, Jack has been unable to complete his assigned Bitcoin homework. We request that you allow Jack a three-month extension. Jesus, there's... Jack, in 10 weeks, you better have that Bitcoin password. By show 90. By show 90, you better have that password. I'm on Andy's side of you, too.
Starting point is 00:07:17 I'm not, or a bloody good reason why we give you another extension. So in the midst of 2020, Jack tried to tie the big ask deadline to COVID restrictions. I was kind of hoping like an international travel kind of, like it might not be until next year. Like when footy stadiums are full again, that kind of era. There's no correlation. It's just that there's no correlation. There's no correlation to when we're mass crowds or mad to a tent. By away, the big ask is in play.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Is that what we're saying? That's been my slogan. So even though borders remained closed, Andy was still already pondering the big ask. Is it a one-off event, the big ask? Or could I say to Jack, hey, can you put my bins out for the rest of the year? Oh.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Are you carrying a big ask? I would hate that. Well, let's be honest. I don't think the big ask was ever going to be something you would love. It wasn't going to be like, hey, I was wondering if you can. go to Byron with your wife this summer. But later in 2020, someone named Brad contacted Jack, saying he could help crack the code. He knows a lot about computers.
Starting point is 00:08:29 You sound like you're 75 on a current affair explaining that you've got dittled. He said he can build a program that will take those 24 words and check for any spelling mistakes or words that are spelled close to that. trying to... It'll run all the combinations trying to figure out if he can get into this Bitcoin. Okay. He said it could take three weeks
Starting point is 00:08:54 because the program he just leaves it on overnight. Okay. So I left the first month I just let him go and thought, okay, great. Brad's running the program. He should be back in contact soon.
Starting point is 00:09:07 In the corner of his bedroom just running help jackout. I call his mobile number a couple of times and he doesn't pick up. Right. I sent him a table. text saying, hey, Brad, just trying to reach out. Let me know if you're around.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Probably busy coding or reading the printout. It's the guy you're currently scamming. When you formulated a good excuse, please give me a call and let me film the internet. I was thinking of going out with my own identity, but if you're using it today, let me know. Maybe we can do Monday, Wednesday, Friday on me, Tuesday, Thursday, you're me. This is the other thing that made me believe him. He said he'd already made heaps of money off Bitcoin. Like hundreds of thousands.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Like a Nigerian prince, it doesn't need any money. Oh, well, he's not going to want to steal it. Of course. A full 18 months later, as the world returned to normal, the big ask came in to play. Jacko, expect the big ask to come into fruition next year. Okay. I'm happy that it's not right now.
Starting point is 00:10:05 It gives me another summer of freedom. Yes, you've got a kid coming at the same time as a big ask. Oh, yeah, I can't. We're going to be living a hole for two years. Not nice to enjoy one more summer. I might not actually, now that you say that, Andy, I might not be able to deliver on favours as easily as a new father. So that will be interesting to know.
Starting point is 00:10:27 Already weaseling out of the big ask. And Jack's impending fatherhood would turn out to be crucial to the big ask. Your baby arrives on Friday. This is a big ask. You can't have him. This is Brumple Stiltskin. I don't want the baby. Nothing like the king order.
Starting point is 00:10:45 I'd love my name to be amongst the names. You can't play around with names. You've had a chance of getting the baby. The moment we all waited for, the baby name announcement came just two weeks later. His given name is Gordon. Right. Tick.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Beautiful. His last name? His last name? Post. conventional. The big ask was naming rights to the middle, in the middle, not obviously usurping Bianca's, was it Granddad or Dad? Giancarlo, her dad, I believe.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Is that correct? Yep. So he has his grandfather's name as the middle name. So it's Gordon? Gordon, Giancarlo. Now, is there any additional name alongside Giancarlo? There is a blank space and then post. So there's rooms?
Starting point is 00:11:46 Do you mean, as space, like a one-character-wide space? Yeah, one-character-wide is in. If John Carlo finishes on the O, space, hope. No room for anything. Are you trying to sell into Andy that that space represents him? Jacko, was it disgust? You know what? Ten minutes in the car on the way home from the podcast,
Starting point is 00:12:12 I thought, you know what? I'm not going to do that. But Jack didn't lose hope of wriggling out from under the big ask. He sought more help from the dark web. This time, a hacker named Joe. Everything is breakable. Nothing's 100% secure. It just depends on how much effort you want to put into actually breaking it.
Starting point is 00:12:31 So the Bitcoin's on the USB, right? And you get so many attempts at the password. I was getting sick of trying the password that I thought, I'll just use the backup 24-word phrase that I write down. Wipe the whole device. ready to put the 24 words back in and jack it back up and that's what I've lost
Starting point is 00:12:51 or I don't have the right set of 24 words intentionally erase the device and tried to reset it up with the word that's all the right once. Yeah, so the device is now... Hang on, so Jack, did you, in your head were you thinking I have the 24 words there in the other room?
Starting point is 00:13:06 I'll just go and wipe it. Do do do do. Where were those 24 words? Essentially, yes. I heard there's a guy that can stitch penises back on. Before I call him, I'm going to cut mine off. You might have better luck with that right now. This number is disconnected.
Starting point is 00:13:26 What have I done? What have I done? And so the years passed by. A big ask wasn't asked, but nor a Bitcoin returned. When's the expiring? That was like seven years ago. No, I think it's forever. It expires as soon as you find my Bitcoin password.
Starting point is 00:13:44 I've looked. I look every six months I do a deep, deep search. Yeah, right. Which brings us to today. Is this finally the big ask moment? Wow. What a journey we've been on. I had forgotten so much of that.
Starting point is 00:14:00 I cannot believe that when it first started, you're like, all right, by episode 90. Here we are into the 300th. I know. I had to take out bits of that. Marci said it to me and I was like, mate, I'm enjoying this, but it goes for way to long.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Remember we went to Jack's house with the detective and a prison garden? He flipped these whole Tossy's house. We had to take that bit out. Tossy's out trying to find the words. I forgot you tried to name my son. Definitely forgot about that. On the day when we tossed Jack's house,
Starting point is 00:14:28 we remember we found a notebook of his and it was like Christmas present ideas for us and it just was like dot dot dot. And then he got bored and started making it up all this. Exactly. We never got a Christmas present. back to the task at hand the big ask the big ask jack you and i had a discussion about the big ask this week do you want to tell everybody it's funny that you mentioned the big ass recently
Starting point is 00:14:58 and brought it back to light because i was so excited to call you this week and say stand down Andy. We don't need the big ask anymore. We have recovered the Bitcoin. Have you really? We've got it back. We've got it. Do you really?
Starting point is 00:15:23 I honestly I 100% have it. It has been just... If you're just saying this and I admire it just to get one more time just to get out of the bigger. week extension. And the best news is, it's in the car and I'll go and get it.
Starting point is 00:15:45 No. Hang on. Jack, you've recovered your Bitcoin. It has just been the luckiest year for me. Because the year started with me, Jack, I've got it. There's like billions of dollars for you. No, no. I've got one, one Bitcoin. He sold the other ones, remember. He was upset that he sold the other. Oh, you did get out to it. Yeah, yeah. I know, oh my God, if I had all seven or whatever I had, wow, you wouldn't be here. I wouldn't be here. No time for hobbies.
Starting point is 00:16:11 I mean, it's 190,000 at the moment, a Bitcoin. Yeah, and then Andy's bit is like, his was 0.18 of a Bitcoin. So you can buy, did I have any? Didn't I have half of yours or something? You didn't have any. See if Marshie can go back and find that episode. You know what your big ass should have been, Ando?
Starting point is 00:16:34 My big ask is, if you find the Bitcoin again, I get half. Well, the man who found it isn't his name's Anthony. He runs Find Your Crypto. That's how Jack found him on Insta, at Find Your Crypto. Hang on. Have you seen the dollars, have you seen the account? I haven't transferred it into Australian dollars, but I see it back in a wallet. It's in his wallet.
Starting point is 00:16:59 A Bitcoin. Wow, half a Bitcoin, because you'll find out that Anthony has quite a large fee to to pro wants to negotiate maybe you could get your whole Bitcoin and just do a big ask for Anthony no he is Anthony is truly my guardian angel
Starting point is 00:17:19 he came to me he heard the podcast he does this for a living now we can speak to him he's here he's right here right now Anthony a hooy to you mate ahoy
Starting point is 00:17:29 we know you're in the UK so there'll be a bit of a delay Anthony this is a shock to me. I never expected this chapter to end this way. I mean, I'm sorry for if we cast aspersions on if it's really there, if it's real, but I am just going to ask one more time, have you really got it back? I think I'm pretty sure that we do have the Bitcoin back and... He's been shy, he's been shy, he knows 100% we've got it back. Because the only other way it can't be a scam because he sent me half of the Bitcoin. Unless he's
Starting point is 00:18:03 He's just a generous guy. This would be a very bad scam. This would be a very bad scam. Because people think you're the kind of person that can get Bitcoin back. And it costs you hundreds of thousands of dollars a week in just buying Bitcoin for people. Anthony, I know these, there's a secret craft.
Starting point is 00:18:19 You're like a magician mining for these things. But can you give us any idea of how you did come to find Jacks and how long it took to find Jacks in my little portion? So, Jack's head, who's, 24 words written down, but I think there's a bit of a safety measure, just in case a thief came into his house, and he decided to jumble up the order of the words. And so I created a little script to go through the words and change their order and took about 10 minutes or so, and then, yeah, got got access.
Starting point is 00:19:03 So, Jack, you found your list of 24 words. So I did, the day that we got the police into my house and flipped the house, I did show you an example of 24 words and I said, I don't think this is it because this doesn't work anymore. This must have been old, old 24 words, but I just couldn't get it to work. And when we got Brad on the show, who was another person who tried to hack it, his idea was to change the letters or look for spelling mistakes in the 24 words. and he wasn't successful with that.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Anthony. You forgot you personally scrambled the word. So what did I do, Anthony? I put the last word first. And as a safety measure against these. So I had this whole time I've had the 24 words. I just moved one word to the top as a safety measure, but I did forget the safety measure.
Starting point is 00:19:54 It was that easy. Was that it, Anthony? Is that what I did? Yeah. That's it, yeah. And so you've pretty much paid... How did you pick the lock? Well, I just jiggled it a bit harder.
Starting point is 00:20:04 And it just turned out you just needed a bit of elbow grease. So you've pretty much paid Anthony $100,000. To remember that you scrambled it. You've got to think of where I... Like, Anthony came to me. He's now the third person trying to crack into this Bitcoin. He deserves it. I almost just ignored your DM, Anthony, because, like, what's the point?
Starting point is 00:20:24 Why get your hopes up anymore? So I said, yeah, like, knock yourself out. Probably what you'll find is that Brad, the first guy, stole it. That's the only thing you'll uncover. Yeah. And he said, usually I take 50%. I said, yeah, whatever, I'd take it. You'll never find it.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Like it almost would have gone, yeah, mate, take 90. So he's taking 50%. This is the question I want to ask. Jack, Andy had, from memory, 0.18, wasn't it something like that of a Bitcoin, which at those prices is just, you know, around about $33,000, $34,000. So does Andy have to pay half the fee or does Andy? Andy's paying 50% as well. He's not chopped out of this thing.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Man, you got out of nowhere this, the Bitcoin came back in your door. No, no, no, no, no. We're going to have to let you go, but we'll like, thank you very much. I think I'd like to ask Anthony this question. Anthony, Jack was holding Andy's Bitcoin. Should Jack pay the whole fee to win? Andy wasn't the one that forgot the technique. Andy is owed 0.18 of a Bitcoin.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Do you think Jack should pay him 0.18 or 0.9? Be smart. Be smart. I definitely think 0.18. I think Jack held that Bitcoin to ransom from him, really. Mate, 100% of great. And Jack. Where do you say, Anthony?
Starting point is 00:21:44 I didn't hold anything to ransom. It was in your possession, and you owe Andy. I was doing him a favor by guarding it. Let's let Anthony go. We can let Anthony go. Thank you, Anthony. Well, a lucrative 10 minutes for you. Because this is funny that you say this, Ham, because...
Starting point is 00:22:02 Jack, here's the thing. If you went to the bank and you said, hey, could you look after $1,000 for me? And that's their job as the bank. And then they come in and they're like, mate, you're not going to believe this. We can't, we forgot the bloody code to the vault. And we're going to have to get a team of crackers in. And like, yeah, okay, well, when can I have my $1,000? Oh, we don't know.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Like, they're so busy and we're not even sure if they're going to turn up. Well, I need my $1,000. Oh, great news. The crackers came in. They charged us so much money, though. We're going to give you 400 bucks. Because we had to pay the safe crackers. A different scenario.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Different scenario. Exactly. No, no. When Andy, when I held Andy's Bitcoin as a favor, I think you paid $700 for that portion. So for now for it to be worth $30,000. Yet again, Jackie, put yourself in this position where you decide who gets what based on the fact that you would like some money. I can't believe.
Starting point is 00:22:57 This is like coming over and giving Andy the best birthday present I've ever given him. And then you go, oh, well, why is it only half a stereo? It's me borrowing my car and returning the wheels only. No, no. Because you should be thankful. It's a very nice car and you can afford another one. He's already got 20x what he put in. Be grateful.
Starting point is 00:23:16 You deciding that you deserve a third of the piano raffle because you would like a piano. I can't believe it. I can't believe it. believe this. What do you do? This is why you just might as well be a weasel the whole time because he's trying to do one generous thing. I actually thought... He's not generous. You're paying a debt. No, Anthony, I was generous to Anthony. He gets 50%.
Starting point is 00:23:35 I was going to stand by that and let everyone go like, hey, just such a nice guy. He gave 50% of his Bitcoin to Anthony. But my guess is Anthony only... That's his fee. My guess is only Anthony transferred half. Yeah, he keeps it. It was never a chance for you to give Anthony. He didn't give you the whole thing and go, even if you feel like, paying my fee now that you're a rich man, would you please do so? That's true, that's true.
Starting point is 00:23:59 So, yes, hey, you bring up a point because when Jack rang me to tell me, he's like, so it's great, man, we've got it back to a day. It's just a 50% fee and then hung up essentially. Right. And I went, oh, that's curious. Oh, I can't believe this. That's not a fool of term. I can't believe.
Starting point is 00:24:17 I could have just kept hush about it. You could have. That would have been interesting. You would have had the big ask. So. Yeah, but so. what, take his bins out for 15 grand, I'll do it. Is this interesting?
Starting point is 00:24:28 Yeah, I'll name myself. I'll change Gordon's name if you want. Wow. When you quit a breakfast radio show, how time's changed? Jack, I'm not going to ask you for the format. Love it. I know. No, they can't be big ask and money back.
Starting point is 00:24:45 No. And don't you pretend you know what's going on? You have no idea about any of this. I know the ethics of it, Jack, and I know that. you owed a man, point one eight of a Bitcoin. Now, how you got that, you're giving him half of what you owed him. So in my book, in the fairness and the law of the universe, you have given him some cash. There's a cash value to what you owed him, and that's nice.
Starting point is 00:25:10 If it was up to me, I would say thank you for this half of the money of you owed me. I will now downgrade the big ask to a medium ask. Yeah, I think that's what we have to do. I think a medium ask is still owing. He's so broad. I don't know. I'll accept a little ask. I would say it's still, yeah, medium.
Starting point is 00:25:30 I mean, it's a, how much is this $15,000? $15,000 a $15,000 a half. Well, it's not, at the moment, it's just a digital fake money. Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, it is not really anything. Well, it's same as any currency. It's actually recognised now. So, yeah, it'd be $15,000 to $20,000. I didn't get anything out of this.
Starting point is 00:25:47 I hope I don't lose your portion over the next week or so. I'll be, I have been known to be slim. lippery with the password. A very little ask, a very, very, very little arse. We'll come back to it, but it's medium now. Medium's fair. Medium's fair. Hey, I wouldn't say we're a powerful show,
Starting point is 00:26:13 but we are the place where we can offer powerful things for people to become more powerful through power moves and they kept getting sent in. Let me kick it off. Go for it. This is from Matt. When someone gives you an opinion on a topic, simply reply with,
Starting point is 00:26:32 I could see how the untrained I would think that. Good. I like that one. This is from Monica. If you're hosting something at your place and someone asks if you need anything else, send them items from your shopping list, which are completely unrelated to the event.
Starting point is 00:26:52 For example, shaving cream, band-aids, vinegar, etc. Just watch the pods. That's such a good idea. Pretty sure my brother-in-law did that to Zoe the other day. Going over just for a family lunch, I was away with our daughter. And so Zoe and Sonny other boy were going over. And she was like, can I bring anything over?
Starting point is 00:27:09 And he goes, why not bring a bottle of tequila? Like, for lunch, get there. No one's really dream. Like, it's a lunch. It wasn't a big, boozy affair. Yeah. He just wanted some. He just wanted some tequila.
Starting point is 00:27:21 I was like, I just seemed to go, what? if I bought a bottle of repisado for to a family lunch. Nice move, from James, went at a dog park and your dog does a poo. Find an dog owner nearby who isn't paying attention to their dog
Starting point is 00:27:37 and say, hey, mate, sorry, but your dog just did a poo over there. That would 100% work, by the way. That's good. And Beck's always on her phone. So if you see her out in the wilderness with Henrietta, Yeah, you could blame your dog's poo on that and our dog. Try your luck and do a human one and see if she'll clean that up.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Yeah, it is yuck, Jack. Fair enough. I also don't know why try your luck. No, just try it because it's trying your luck because if you said to her, hey, that you don't do to poo, you are trying your like because Henrietta, as much as you say, she's tall, she is a small dog. And I think if she went over and saw a man-sized poo, she might go, I don't think that came from my dog. That's why you try your luck that's the fun of the game
Starting point is 00:28:24 but at the same time Jack I do encourage people to try their luck as they see Beck in the wild and if she turns around and sees you with your pants down and you're holding onto a bench or something and you're squatting backwards you'll go
Starting point is 00:28:37 got you trying your luck I heard the end I heard the end I didn't even hear anything I just happened to turn around at the wrong time for you bad luck This is from Ruan.
Starting point is 00:28:54 When starting in a new company, during your welcome and intro message to the entire team, I assume this is if you're starting in a managerial position. Let them all know you will book one-on-one meetings with key staff members. Then don't book any meetings. This will have the staff wondering why they are not deemed a key member. From Micah in New Zealand, a simple and effective one, and he's been used against him. a number of times.
Starting point is 00:29:24 I think he says, I think it's best performed as part of a general sentence rather than a stand-alone comment. Okay, great. Simply refer to one's uniform as a costume. For example, in a conversation with a firefighter, does it take you long to put your costume on
Starting point is 00:29:38 before you head out to a call? Brutal. Because generally, I mean, anyone that wears a uniform automatically, I can't think of anyone that wears a uniform that doesn't demand a higher level of. respect. Yeah, they think they've got something, some authority to them. Well, they usually do. I mean, we're doing like, you know, defense force, firefighter place. These are all, with your respect to Jack's dad, parking inspectors do wear a uniform. That's true.
Starting point is 00:30:04 They don't demand a little bit of respect. Park where you meant to park? No way. You know my policy, mate. I can't believe your dad is my mortal enemy. Very, I was going to say Montague and Capulet, but then we're lovers. But still, the family situation remains the same. This is a specific one, and it comes in, it comes in the category of like, you know, unfortunately, and this is just, this is just biology, it's the way the world has always been, but tall, taller people probably have more opportunity to exert power moves on shorter people than vice versa.
Starting point is 00:30:44 You know, we've talked about, you know, just popping a drink on the head or, you know, popping your arm up, popping on someone's head. Do that to my friend, AJ, a bit. nothing you can do to come back from that. No. This is from Tim, and he goes, look, this happened to me. So he's admitting this is the shorter guy in this situation.
Starting point is 00:31:01 I was running with friends. There were four of us, two tall guys, about two meters each. That's cool. And two shorter guys, about 175. We're running on trails, and there were some low branches at times. As runners, it's nice to warn other runners behind you of any low branches with a call of heads. One of the taller runners at Drew was in front, and he would often call heads.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Danny. He only specifically mentioned the other tall runner and didn't mention us, Tim and Regan, reminding us they were just little boys. Hey, Beck during the week returned home triumphant that she's got,
Starting point is 00:31:50 so new Apple AirPods. Oh, right, yeah, they are very new. And look, in Beck's world, I have to write my name on mine because she's the kind of person that this will probably last three or four weeks, tops before she misplaces one or all pods to the point where I bought her pods for Christmas one year and then you knew how you can get them engraved, like all the little message on the podcast. I said, Bex, to be lost within three or four weeks written on them and sure enough. Yep, Bex's too a fab.
Starting point is 00:32:21 The best thing that she said about them, which I think which is crazy, is they've got Apple Translate now. So you can be overseas with the AirPods in. It's happened. And you listen to someone talking to you in their native tongue. And it picks up on Italian, for instance, but then speaks it back to you in your ears in your native tongue, English for us. So you can now understand people.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Now, obviously, you'd have to get them some AirPods if you want to talk back to them or offer them one of yours out of your ear? You could split in here. You could split in ear, but that is quite incredible. I can't believe we're there with technology. Yeah, we're there. I mean, Hitchhiker's guide across the galaxy.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Yeah, they had that. It's called a babel fish. A little fish that you put in your ear. Yeah. Yeah. I thought that was amazing until I heard this morning that they've bought out AirPods 3 Plus, which just translates not just languages,
Starting point is 00:33:15 but heaps of other interactions. Here at Apple, we are always innovating. Our recent AirPod Pro 3 introduced live translation, whereas you listen, someone speaking in a different language is translated to your native tongue. Hello, welcome. Today, all the red carnations are 50% off. We are pleased to announce we've taken the translation even further with AirPods Pro Thore. Three Plus.
Starting point is 00:33:49 The plus does not only translate languages. It translates many other interactions as well. Like ones with your drunk mate at the pub. No, you have a big figure out of the finger. I just reckon, I reckon, I don't know at the park. Poor Palmer, this is a salad. Hello, buddy. Please place $20 on the number nine at Wentworth Park.
Starting point is 00:34:12 I'll also have a pot of beer and a parma with chips no salad. Ah, yeah, no worries. mate, coming right up. An interaction with your partner at home. Oh, Beck, I forgot the game was on tonight. Do you mind if we watched that instead of a movie? Oh, yeah, that's totally fine. No worries.
Starting point is 00:34:29 That is not fine, and you'll pay for this down the track. You know what? Let's watch that Blake Lively movie instead. I've been really keen on seeing that. Those long phone calls with your mom. Those fires, I think, I mean, that's what we noticed when we were looking for camp, or was it for you? No, if I can.
Starting point is 00:34:48 They were all buyers' advocates who were getting in first. None of this is important, but thanks for listening. Thanks, mum. But that's not all. The AirPod Pro 3 Plus can even translate your dog. Can you stop singing cutesy songs to me every single morning? Oh, I thought you liked that. Innovation and Understanding.
Starting point is 00:35:13 The AirPod Pro 3 Plus. Grab yours now. at the Apple Store. Hello, teenage daughter. How are you today? Dad, I hate you. Dad, I hate you. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:35:25 Yep, I get it. Do you guys have any products that you can't get everywhere? Like food products often where you go, oh, this is a rare get. Oh, no, I don't. But Beck encounters this a lot because she always tells me that you can't get out that everywhere. And it excites her. There's a certain brand of yogurt that I enjoy that pops up at some Woolworths, but not all, which I can't figure out. Musks, you know the lifesaver musks?
Starting point is 00:36:05 Oh, yeah. They're rare. I don't know if you guys, they're a big deal in our family. I run a different policy in my car as though runs in her car. I am a very good Uber in my car and I have a selection of snacks and try. And we've had to pair it down to like one musk, one ring per trip. You know, like you can't, because they're a bit moreish. And oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:26 So often you go to the servo, they have, and again, this is a niche world, but fruit pastiles are everywhere. No one wants fruit pastels. I don't know why the geniuses at lifesavers think that that's like the, that's what we want. We want musks. Yeah. You can't even really get regular lifesavers anymore. You know the multicolored ones? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:45 They're not really, they're not around. That's a good thing to phase out, wasn't it? Because the irregular ones were more like a rock candy where they're a rock candy. They're sort of sea through ones. You get free tingles if you're lucky. I can't believe the brand survived so long just on that because. It was the delivery method. It was the excitement.
Starting point is 00:37:02 You didn't know what. Got to remember, before the internet, that was enough dopamine for us to know, to not know what color was coming next in a lolly. That used to be enough dopamine. Now we need, we need three second tick. TikToks that blow our minds. But before the clinkers, that was enough dopamine from the excitement of a clinker. We were happy with that level of dopamine. Can you remember, I can't remember the name of it, but there was one that didn't have a, had a filled in-hole, so it wasn't a donut.
Starting point is 00:37:30 That's fruit tingles. Fruit tingles. So they're still around. Are they still around? 100%. Yeah, they're great. How do your kids feel about them? Because to me, they were at the time, the category above all. Are they at top? Rue and I smashed a pack on the weekend. It was a special treat. We broke the one per run ring one piece per drive rule and we had some free tinkles. So musks for me is when I see him, I buy five packs. I get very, very excited and I load up because it's honestly one in six servos has musks. I get excited when I'm running low on fuel in an area I'm not often in because I go, okay, well this gives me a chance to see if this happens to be one of the musk
Starting point is 00:38:08 servos. Zoh has discovered something else. There is a small IGA that we're sometimes near. So it's got a bit of a penchant for artificial banana flavor. So like, you know, banana lollies, barney bananas, that kind of thing, loves that particular flavor. Go into that, always had it because I feel like... I guess you have it from childhood. Like, if you love a lolly banana, some people, yeah, it's a bit of a polarizing taste, but if you love a lolly banana, this is for you. There are some chocolate flavors you can't get at every, I don't know if you had deeply you've dived in this. Every supermarket doesn't stock all the cabri or all the Whitaker's or whatever. I personally am partial, and again, not about me, but partial to a Whitaker's
Starting point is 00:38:47 almond block. Sometimes I've said to them, hey, where's your Whitaker's almond? And they'll be like, here it is. I'm like, no, that's dark almond. I'm looking for almond. They go, no, I think this is almond. With all due your respect, sir, I know what I'm talking about. And that is dark almond. And then they go, I guess we don't have regular almond. And I go, okay, we'll tell you boss to fix it. Because you got, you don't know how many people are coming up and down this and we don't want dark almond. We want milk almond. We want 33%.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Okay, no one's in the guts to speak up for it, but you're probably hemorrhaging customers. Anyway, on the Whitaker's thing, Zoe has found at this particular IGA, they have a banana flavor. Okay, so she's like, great, can we stop with that IGA? They stock the banana. I think I'm not a fan of it,
Starting point is 00:39:34 so I can't remember the exact flavor, but it's, you know, banana filling in a chocolate box. So imagine the excitement when at this IGA, not only will we get chocolate, but Zay goes, we'll get some ice cream as well, and we'll go away for the weekend. Goes to the ice cream place, comes back with, I think it's Peters, or maybe, yeah,
Starting point is 00:39:56 I think it's a Peters bucket of ice cream, like a tub, normal one-liter tub, comes back and goes, look at what they've got. It's like Napolitana, or Neapolitana, but instead of chocolate, strawberry vanilla, It's banana split flavor, banana, chock chip and chocolate. So like banana cookies and chocolate. Yep.
Starting point is 00:40:19 She's never seen it before. I think this is a new flavor. She's so excited. Next supermarket shop, she goes to look for this banana split, three flavors in one. Can't find it at our regular supermarket. It goes to another supermarket in our area, can't find it. So it was a winner. It was a winner.
Starting point is 00:40:35 It was a delicious. It seems to be only at this. IGA in the country, this regional IGA, that they... You're just used by date? They have... This wasn't a product of 1980s. I'm looking at the branding. That was the strawberry and it's just gone bad over many years.
Starting point is 00:40:52 I'm looking at the branding, right? It's not limited edition. It's not a flavour that is produced, and again, think it's Peters could be wrong. I feel like this IGA in the country, this small regional IGA, it's got the banana chocolate, it's got the banana split ice cream flavor. I think it's some sort of banana portal. Really? Like that it just exists in the universe.
Starting point is 00:41:16 It's this special place in the universe that has special access to banana flavor things. Do it have masks? Yes. It's the perfect spot for you guys. I think we're going to go and live there. I think we're going to go and live in this small town because it's they just get us.
Starting point is 00:41:37 know, they just get the Blake family. That's all we need. They understand our confectory needs. So I'm just saying, maybe this suddenly applies to us. But when you find a supermarket that is that's got your stuff and it's like a portal, like it is like it's from another world. And Zoe has bought three tubs from there that we've now taken back to our house and we've frozen.
Starting point is 00:41:58 We've got no room in the freezer because she's hoarding these tubs because she's scared the portal will close. Any good science fiction fan knows if you're lucky enough to find a point, Portal. Use it, baby, because you don't know when portal's closed. Thanks for listening.
