Hamish & Andy - 321 - Back With A Bitcoin To Burn

Episode Date: March 4, 2026

Andy updates the people on where their Bitcoin is sitting post-Mandated Break, and the boys float a few ideas for how it might eventually be spent (wisely?). A bold skills claim from Liam Hemsworth prompts a call to actor Dave Lawson to verify the story, and there’s a Power Move from a 99-year-old to admire. Web Geezer Jez shares some big news after 18 glorious years with the team. 1. The People’s Bitcoin 2. Hemsworth’s Huge Claim 3. Power Moves 4. Web Geezer Jez 

A Listener Production The ghastly government-mandated break is over. And Hamish and Andy can finally get back to doing what they love the most. Working. But while we celebrate March coming around, we can't help but feel cheated of the great conversations between Hamish and Andy that were forbidden to be broadcast during the three-month podcast ban. Moments like this.

Christmas ham. And this. Hey, Ham, happy New Year. Thanks, mate. Hey, who doesn't love a bit of New Year's hand? Although that could make you sick. But like frost thawing in the Northern Hemisphere, the podcasting mandate is about to be lifted.

And conversational flowers will bloom once again. Hey, Ham, I can't believe the break is finally over. I know. Who doesn't love a bit of podcast hand? We're in the studio right next to you. We're actually doing a flick-your-mic-you-mic on. I know, yeah, I can see you. Yeah.

Okay, great. No, well, let's do. Who does the Logger to First Show Ham? Yeah. All right, let's do it. Activate your internet. Because the Hamish and Andy podcast starts in three, two. Sorry, still buffering.

Ahoy to me, Umbra. Oh, um, um, um, um, um, Um, bra, it's just great to be back. To you, bra. It's true great to be back. If Jack's a year, bra, I think it's just noises before the word bra. Nah. Ahoy to me penumbra.

Penumbra. I have heard this word before. Tough one to start the year on. What are you, and on? Are we on a xylophone or something like that? No, I'm the ant umbra. All right. So everything's sort of dancing around the umbra.

Near us, before it, after it, under it, over it. What are we? We are the three distinct parts of a shadow. That's true. Yeah, the moon should like shadows on the moon. Yes, or on the earth. That's where I remember, right. Sunny's geography revision from last year.

Yes. When the moon shadow gets cast across the earth in like a solar eclipse. That's the umbra. That's the ant umbra. That's the very rare umbra. The umbra. Yeah, that's the rare one, me. The umbra.

Hey, you're the darkest, the central part of the sunbris. central part of the shadow. Yeah, that's the best bit. That's where you get all the good viewing. That's a very small place. And penumbra, the lighter outer part of the shadow are life sources. It's kind of partially blocked.

See reserve tickets. It's going to be eclipse. It's actually a better view because you can see more. The black, the deepest part of a shadow. You don't know what's going on in there. It depends whether you're going to hide or not. No, if you're watching an eclipse, you want to be in the absolute VIP.

You want to be right in the middle. Wait, is it just for eclipses or any shadows? It's any shadow. It's any shadow. The big one's the most famous shadow. of all is the eclipse. No one cares. I mean, of course,

where there's light, there's shadow, day to day. No one's interested. Name a more famous shadow, Jack. I will wait. They would have to be the most famous shadows. What about a sundial? That's a pretty famous shadow.

Boring. Well known, but garden variety. Replicable. Literally garden variety. Literally garden variety. I could go out right now. It won't be good audio, but it's fun.

It's a good fun of it. We take the mics. Right now we go outside and do a sundial. But you can't make an eclipse. No. Unless, of course, you are Mr. Burns in the Who Shot Mr. Burns episode of The Simpsons where he builds that big shield to go over Springfield. So they'll use nuclear energy the whole time.

And how interesting that at the end of the episode, he uses a sundial to point to M, W and S, which means M and S, Maggie Simpson. Spoiler alert, if you haven't seen the Who Shogh on Burns episode. And Andy, true crime is popular on podcasts. People will enjoy that. beaten over the government mandated break by true crime podcast. And so we won't do big crimes, but we will do cartoon crimes from 30 years ago.

Ahoy also to Pierce. He's in Virginia who used the very easy-to-use system. It hasn't been upgraded over the government mandated break of habyshanity.com to upload his audio to tell us what he's been doing. Ahoy, boys. This is Pierce calling from Virginia in the United States of America. I'm out here walking in the snow. with my dog and my daughter. I just thought you might like to know.

I was listening to the radio earlier, and I heard a piece about a sport known as ice sailing. This is a sport where a boat has skis attached to it, and it uses sails to sail very fast on the ice. And one of the ice sailors referred in passing to a sport known as soft water sailing. Took me a moment, but of course I realized that the concept of treating sports as normative in the way that ball golf used to simply be called golf.

It's catching on that this is not a good way to talk about sports. So ball golf, disc golf, we can now add to this list, ice sailing and soft water sailing. I hope this helps and thanks for getting this started. It's great to see it catching on. True, Piers. Thank you. Should accept all forms of water no matter how hard or soft they are.

Yes, I noticed the city to Hobart over the break and I was like, was it on soft water or is that ice? Yeah, what's the hardness of your water? I don't care. Soft water sailing, yeah, it is. Well, then all water sports could become soft water sports.

Like all swimming in the Olympics. Hard to do water swimming. Hard water swimming. Would love to see it at the Winding Games. Mistrick. That's skating. And there they are just flailing around again. and freezing.

A lot of frostbite on the chest, but they don't give up. Good on them. Hey, we have to pick things up, almost where we left things last year. Great to be back. There was a huge bombshell. Second last show of last year.

Of course, the last show was Berg Boys, which, um, congrats. Look, to you and to Jack, congrats on a non-Peter out for one. Still high on the buzz of Berg Boys. And that's, it made sense to go into hiding for three months,

um, while the police obviously searched for us now. That's gone. We can come out. Yes, statute of limitations is gone. Don't quote us on that. But for us, that, yep, you can't be charged with theft after three months. If you are a criminal, do not take that as much.

I think it is a bit. It's a little longer than that. Webgeyser Jez came to a second last show of last year with some news. For people who may have missed it, if you're tuning for the first time, I'm ever welcome, by all means, we do enjoy and recommend people going back to the start so they're up to date. But we welcome anyone who's just joining at any time. But Jezah had this news for us.

So I just got a little piece of paper for you guys. That's got something on it. Oh my God. You found the Bitcoin password. You got it. Anthony. He found it. One's the people's Bitcoin and one's your Bitcoin.

It was insane. The people have a Bitcoin? The weight off the shoulders. What are we going to do with it? After 12 years of a lost piece of. Bitcoin, suddenly they were back in our pockets huge. What are we going to do with it? That's what you said, Ham, and that's what we've been thinking about.

People of Bitcoin. I mean, I know there was a quick break, but I barely had a chance to think about it. With all the fighting the government, trying to squeeze in some small ball golf. But I've had a few thoughts of the Bitcoin. Have you guys had a few thoughts on what we do with, I mean, it's a full Bitcoin? Well, it depends. I mean, I have thought, where's the price at? Well, these were our, I've got the prices.

of today, but this is our predictions. So when we recorded that break, November 28th last year, Bitcoin was sitting at $140,000 Australian. Great. These were our predictions of where it would be when we got back. Should we take a guess, a Hamish Andy Jack guess at what we think the price will be when we come back? I mean, is it going to boom over the government mandated break?

Is it going to dip? I'm going to go bullish at 180. I'll go 200. I think it's going to settle at 167. Good. We'd take all of them. As we record this, it's at $91,000. Okay, that's a dip.

I did say to you on the day, cash it out. I don't remember firmly going. I said take half off the table. I do remember something. I was like, Andy, we've got to lock in some of these profits. That's a 35% decrease in about 70 days. I think we obviously hold on here. We hold on and let her ride while we still formulate what we are going to do.

Well, I was having a look at times we've thought we've had a Bitcoin in our possession. It's gone from $900 to $2,600. We're still ahead. Then when we lost it, it rocketed up to $190,000 at its highest mark. Since we've got it back, it's now down to $91,000. I think... Do you think us owning one? Do you think us having accesses occur?

That's what I'm saying. Shit. So we have to lose it away. And then no, we're going to get it back. It's tough, isn't it? But it's whether we move swiftly now or not. The only thing to do would be to get a third-party person to change the password. And then they deliberately lose it.

And we hope. We hope to get it back one day. What if someone, I don't. know who the right person is to do this, but someone takes a password, buries it somewhere and makes a treasure map for us. And then all we've got is the map to treasure. They won't give it back. But we don't have the Bitcoin.

Yeah. Anyway, all of the thing is. That's one of a new. This is, we'll file this under the heading of, um, how can we fight a curse with alternate magic to increase the value of cryptocurrency, which is a very well-known scientific field. But on the other side of the ledger, we're like, let's assume that we get it back to say, you know, let's call it an even hundred grand.

Yep. And then the rest is icing. Yep. It's the people's Bitcoin. We've had a lot of people writing in over the break, you know, with ideas and the general theme I'd say of the ideas is you've got to share the wealth. You've got to share. We've defined a way to share the wealth here.

But of course, without wanting to Tudow and Horn, you know, they're like a million listeners. So I don't know how wrapped everyone's going to be with 10 cents. I think, I think you say it like that, it kind of sucks. It's a waste. That's like deleting it almost. Yeah. Because no one's going to.

That dilutes it too much. Yeah. Yeah. I think we've got to find the funnest way to spend $900,000 for the benefit of the people. I've got one. I've got one. I guess you kick us up. Yeah, go.

The people's car. We spend $50,000 on a car. Yep. And then $40,000 on an app that people sign up to to rent the vehicle in their local area. For free. For free. Do you know what car we should get? I don't know how real these are, but I think I saw an article about, like, they're a fake.

Like, there are factories in China that essentially make. fake Rolls Royces. And I think they're about 50 grand. Great. And they're shit. But they get you from A to B. They get you from A to B. And at a glance, I think it looks like you're in a roll.

That's cool. And then you can just travel around the country. So say if you're on a road trip to Alice Springs, you see if it's in your local area. Bingo, it is. Great. You book it in and then you leave it like a lime bike, but just obviously a lot. We become a one-car rental company. One car rental company.

We're the opposite of pretty much every other business model, which is just maximum weight list, zero convenience. It's an absolute fluke if this thing comes off. And once you get out of it now in the springs, you take photos of it that you've left it safely. Keys are in the lockbox. All right. That's a great idea.

A one car car share company. Well, I think if we can't get that, if it's just a regular car. Can we get that quote of 40 grand for the app down? We get a bit off that. Because his brother works for the app company. Andy is funneled $40,000 of this straight into his brother's digital agency.

All right. Ombudsman sniffing around that one. We need to have $1,000. Yeah, we'll only have $10,000 for the car. I might do a bike. Might be do a push bike. What's Jack's idea? Pay an unemployed podcast guy to write a funny song for this show.

$100,000 fee. I've got a idea. And it came to me because over the break, I briefly flirted something, some people are doing this thing, no spend 2026 or like no, not buying anything in 2026. And I thought, do I do this for the year? Do I never do it? Yeah, no, I'm just saying I'm not doing that. I obviously can't fight. I can't fight the impulse. So I thought, is there a, do we lean into this rather than me trying to resist the urge I have as the, as marketing, you know, as people just completely, the algorithm. just pillages me because it knows all my soft buttons.

Do we do a mad cap 24 hours where I sit down at $100,000 online and I just buy whatever I want? And I just like trying to smoke 10 cartons of cigarettes to get me off cigarettes, right? I just go nuts. I just let impulses take over and I just go wild and I see if I can get to the bottom of this craving. I won't keep any of it. We then give away all the product that I've bought. As like a showcase, everyone gets, one person gets everything. Maybe you have to win a way, you win tickets to the showcase,

and then you can pick one thing from the showcase, kind of like the world's greatest Oscars gift bag. Oh, this is great. We put on an expo of your impulse. It's impulse expo. Because the first thing I tried to buy, which annoyingly was AI, but I thought it was real, was, you know, DeWalt, the Power Tool Company. I saw a thing where it looked like they'd made,

battery-powered snow shoes. So they're like little caterpillar tracks. Many tractors, basically, you're on your feet to glide you through the snow. You've already got movable shoes that you never use. These are snow-based jack. I've got to get him back off that guy. No, that guy's still got him.

You gave him to him for summer. That was two years ago. You got to get those back. Yeah, he didn't even know he didn't have them until you just reminded of it. What were they moonwalkers? You live in Sydney, famous for not having to much snow around. You don't need the snow. But having said that, I wouldn't mind seeing them.

So this Impulse Expo... 100 grand, 24 hours, just wild, and then the people benefit from, you know, you win your way in, you get a shot at the gift. I don't mind that. I had another idea, which was you and, we encouraged people at the end of last year to play the game, which was, don't never pay for parking to see how you go. Someone wrote in and said they had car got towed first day. I told you it's a high-stakes game. You shouldn't play in a clear way.

I told you it's a high-stakes game. I'm not going to underwrite recklessness. Well, that's what I was going to suggest. Do we put a portion or even all of it against everyone playing the game? And if you lose the game, just to encourage, you know, encourage people to get into grassroots football. You know, they put on clinics where they, you get back. That's true.

We give people scholarships. Yeah, we would then pay for everyone's fines up to the other. Just 100 grand parking tickets. That's good. I got a few more. Okay. We do a pub crawl to old mates. Oh, that's good.

Cheapest available tickets. Now, obviously, back when it was 140, that's more flights. We could buy people. But I mean, like, the worst, worst, worst seats to New York City, but we will fly you there. You might be on, you might be going through Shenzhen or something like you'd go on the wrong way around the world. That's fun. We get you to New York.

We'll also pay for the drinks. I really like that idea. And I'm not saying we funneled money to ourselves through old mates to pay for the drinks. Like, we'll just, that's extra. We'll put the drinks on. I really like that. Love that.

Pub crawl. Hmm. I wonder with it, if you found the cheapest flights available, I wonder how many stops that would be. Because often it's a reroute through. It's a lot of China. That's what I'm saying. You're going, you're definitely going.

Of a beer. What stage can you buy a private A380? Not a high one. No, like, It's a charter one. Probably more than that. Because remember we charted that tiny plane for Cool Boys in the Front Man. How much was that?

It was like $25,000. Yeah, I think it's $15,000 an hour per hour in the air for a tiny jet. For a tiny one, for a tiny one. We're talking about, like, we're going to fly. Because how many could we fly for $100 grand? Like, say we could find $1,500 tickets or something. Yeah. Even $2,000.

We get 50 people. I could talk to Mr. Ralph. No, I couldn't. Take that out of the pot. Leave that out of the pot. First time. First show back. Hang on, no, don't hit the dinger.

I've got one more that could be something huge. Could be something huge. Okay. Or it could be nothing. We start a commercial bee operation. As in like. We started a bee farm, honey farm. It became apriest.

Apriest? Yeah. Because Jack and I were talking about it before the, Jack, this was before the show. So yes, this is a. a recent idea, but I asked chat GPT, how good it be operation could I begin with $100,000? And it said, you're right in the sweet spot. It's always so positive. Between hobby and commercial operation.

Now, it's saying, it's like, look, you could probably do about 250 hives for $100,000, but it said start at 120 to get the hang of it. I think we'd start at 120 hives. We'd have to hire a beekeeper full-time. My next-door neighbor down the beach house is he's going to. got 140 hives. Told you, this is how it happens. Yeah. Then, I mean, Zos' dad's into beekeeping, but, yeah, we'll see how we go.

We'll run auditions for beekeepers. This is the worst one. There's some great ideas there, but... I hope we do this now, Jack, just despite you. You know, we're talking about $100,000 for a grudge? Now this is my grudge. You haven't even heard the numbers, Jack. Okay.

I see some money-making scheme, not just for everyone to get free coming. This is to reinvest, and then every year the people will have a treat based on the profits of the honey. Oh, well, now I'm listening. I thought you were just giving people free. We were making honey and people come and collect their jar for freight. We'll do that too. We'll give away gusto honey or whatever it's called. We'll give that away. Desiards my next door neighbor doesn't seem to be swimming in cash. He's not doing it properly. I don't think you capitalized enough. Because here's what you do. You rent, you can give your bees to farmers. This is, I mean, this is what I learned this morning, for cross-pollination purposes. So if they have an almond farm or

something, you rent out the bees because they need the bees to make the trees work. But also, if we get into the high-end crops, and we're talking manuka. This is actually how the conversation started because I was telling Jack about manuka honey about how expensive it is. And then he was like, are they manukin bees? They said, no, it's the plant, dickhead.

He already told somebody else that and then I thought, oh, I thought maybe manukin bees is a thing. A manukin tree is some odd random tree from New Zealand. That's not known. knowledge. So the bees, the bees go and way out of the tree yet. Just regular bees, they're just harvesting the pollen. Buy and plant a whole forest of manuka trees.

No, you just put the hives near the manuka trees. They fly, the bees do the work. You find it where the trees are. And the bees do the work and they fly to the manuropi. So we have travel these hives to a certain tree. Guys, I only done one chat you if you had search on it, but listen to the money that you can make. We get in the high-end honey market. Okay, we're getting to the high-end

honey market, we are making from that initial 100 grand investment upwards, that chat reckons 200 grand a year we can be turning. We've got a better chance with hairdresses at airport. Hey, we got lucky. We got lucky with the Bitcoin bounce. What's another industry we can then reinvest in that's almost a surefire hit? I am honey. It's on the list.

So are we doing all the beekeeping ourselves? Are we in the suits, or do we hire a bee-key for cut of the profits? Are we in the suit? It's on the list. It's on the list. It's a hundred and twenty-hives, Jack. It's going to be a pretty big job. I mean, I forgot that I had robot shoes.

I can't keep track of a hundred million bees. Hey, I'm over the government mandated break. I did a fair bit, the Australian Open. You did. And went to the men's final. Yep. In those fancy seats that are courtside, there was Joel Higton, Hollywood star, Liam Hemsworth, Hollywood star,

and soon to be Hollywood star, Dave Lawson, who you may know the actor from Utopia, a very funny man, also in the Toyota Rads about footy, the original ones, Brian Shelton. The OG, which has still got Hollywood a buzz, and he is fielding offers waiting for the right thing. So I was texting Dave going nice seats. He said, yeah, he said, I'm chatting to Liam Hemsworth,

he thinks he could hit a tennis ball out through the roof at Rod Laver Arena. Oh, man. You've never, we've never seen it happen to my knowledge at the Australian Open. No, but they're not trying. No, but even come wayward off a swing, you've never seen it. Yeah, I know, but that's... That would be a bad shot. Usually, I mean, they have the line-sensing technology

because it comes down to millimeters. Very rarely is someone 200 metres out. They accidentally aim the wrong spot. But, you know, yeah, you're not going to get it off a deflection or an edge. You're someone to have to be going for it. I always would have thought someone might have won a game. And in celebration, they hit them up. They do that.

They do hit the ball out to the crowd. That's what I mean, but wouldn't it be fun to hit it out of the arena? Well, I think it's, the crowd get excited that they could have a bit of memorabilia and figure it than just to hit it out onto the roof. Our move. What if our move? You get out of the top deck. You guys want this? Sorry, too strong. So when Dave told me that, I'm sitting in Rod Laver, and I don't.

And obviously great game with Alcaraz and Juckfish, but I couldn't... Yeah, good to see that Hemsworth's deeply involved in the game. You just came there wondering what skill things he could do. But I couldn't help drifting to more like, when are these guys going to get off and someone have a go at trying to hit the ball? That seemed like a more exciting event. We've seen tennis matches before. We've seen open finals.

No, I've never seen anyone to tempt it. Is tennis the only big sport that has breaks where they don't do something fun in the break? Because at the footy, you've got half-time entertainment. That's right. Basketball, cricket, basketball. Everyone's got something fun that happens in the break. The tennis doesn't have anything fun that happens in the breaks. This could be it.

Well, to join us to talk about it and really get it from the horse's mouth, soon to be Hollywood star. Dave Lawson, welcome, mate. Ahooy. Ahooy, boys. Hey, Dave. Yeah, I'm doing, I'm doing well. Just listen, that's everything there you said is absolutely true. So how Adam was Liam?

How out of it was Liam Hemsworth? Well, I didn't think it could happen. I thought there's no chance you get a ball. I just don't think the ball can reach the velocity needed to exit the stadium. I think it's too light. Yeah, too light. And I think it's deceptively high. Because I was there with my wife, and Sarah was looking at the seagulls and was using that as scale for height.

And she reckoned it could be done. And Liam said 150% he reckoned he could not drop it through the route. 150%. So just quickly clarified, David. Was it you or Sarah that got the tickets caught side? No, I don't know exactly how they came to us. It could have been my wife.

I might have been sitting in the seat that said plus one. For people who don't know, they was married to Sarah Snook, obviously an amazing actress. And she's married to him. And it goes both ways. It's a two-way marriage. It goes both ways.

She's aware of it. So she had to be involved. She walked into this deal with her eyes. He was there. I like to think that we're the show that if you say something and we hear about it, we'll hold you to it. Now, hearing that he was 150%. I just had a quick Google of the top of Rod Lover Arena.

It is high. Well, is it? Because I also did some research this morning, 30 metres. Now that's high. Roughly 10-story building. No, but aren't you deeper in the middle at Seneca Court? No, this is from the bottom of Seneca court to the ceiling. Now, you'd probably need an extra two and a half, I would say,

to pierce the roof and get it on top of, pierce the ceiling and get it onto the roof. That's true. What did he say, Dave? Did he say I could hit it out of this stadium, which is a heftier hit? Or did he just say it could hit out of the roof? Yeah, hit out of the roof.

And I don't think it can even touch the roof. Even if the roof was closed, I think we'd, even the hardest hit it. in the world. If you got Jokovic, I reckon even he'd struggle. I just don't think the physics works. I, because it's such a different thing.

Hit it out and it stays out. I don't want to see someone hit it up high enough and else that ground level go, oh, that looked like it, you know, cleared the roof line. Yeah, it's got to go out. I didn't want to see that ball again. Yeah. On the Olympic Boulevard.

Yeah, unless it's walking out the front and finding it. Yeah. Well, I mean, have you seen Hemsworth play tennis? I haven't seen it. I mean, one of them, A Hemsworth is four, so I reckon they've got the strengths in the family to... Well, there's two questions to this. But I'm intrigued by now is can Liam Hemsworth do it or can anyone do it?

I'm only interested in Hemsworth. I think that 150% is what did it for me, just to think, okay, there's a man out there walking around. He says, 150% he could do something we've never seen any human do. We want to see that. Yeah, we do want to see that. We want to see that really invests time. and money. I mean, we've just talked about having 100 grand from a Bitcoin,

we discovered again. What would the fee be, do you reckon, to get him for the? M's worth to come. Would he do it in kind? I'm not spending a cent of that we're going to money on. This is what this will do to his stock price, which is already very high. This would put him on another level.

Yeah. What if he gets like, he can get a 10 grand appearance free if he hits it out, if he doesn't, maybe he. Maybe he'd be him $10,000. Maybe he pays us 10 grand. Oh, I'm like, this doesn't sound like Jack at all. Now it does. So essentially,

you'd like to take a $10,000 bet that you can be hit it out of the arena. Okay, well, this is great. Okay, well, we'll work towards reaching out to his people, Dave. Would you be available to come along? Yeah, we need you there, Dave. I only known as the guy who sat next to at the tennis. So I didn't exchange numbers. I could slide into his DMs maybe.

But that's about us... If you do that and that, we're happy to try that. I'd love to be there to see it happen. Do you know where he's based? I mean, he's probably based in Hollywood. I mean, he's a very, very accomplished, man. I would check Hollywood first. I would go to...

Actually, you know what? I think there was talk of Byron, potentially, as well. Yeah. Or Phillip Island as well. I'd check those three spots first before... Well, I mean, there's the Hemsworth Villa in Barron. Then he would be welcome to, I would assume. Yep.

I mean, he... I don't want to get... They grew up in Philadelphia, you know, I'm a big fan of the Hemsworth and you don't, you know, and you don't want to get involved in the family politics, but I think it would be a fair thing to say

that, you know, people would be like, oh, well, Chris, you know, he's the most notorious one, but then the other Hemsworth boys have done great stuff. Notorious? Well, like the most well-known, Hemsworth.

But I think it sounds like he robbed banks back in the day. We don't know everything he's done. But I think the appeal here to Liam, no, you're not going to say this to us publicly because he's going to go, look, I don't care. I'm very proud of my brother. I'm proud of myself. We've both had great careers.

But I think deep down, this would appeal to Liam to go, this will be the thing that makes me the premium hem's worth. Oh, this is making the most prominent heads. This is no longer will people being like, oh, you know, you touch your brother's hammer. Like, does he show it to you? You know, look, my question's about that. Now he'll be going, Chris is going to be getting every time someone stops him.

They're going to be going, mate, did you see the bloody, you see Liam hit the ball out of the Rod Lover? That becomes then the biggest Hensworth news. Yes, the Hemsworth Worth, skyrocketing. As quick as a ball could go through a ceiling of Rod Loverina. What if this spreads throughout the Hemsworth brothers, and they're like, we're only doing it if we can all have a go, and whoever gets it out is the premium Hemsworth.

Yeah, we'd take that. We'd take that. Yeah, the pruddery competition might inspire them for a bit of extra. All right. And Jack, if all three of them miss, that's 30 ground in our back pocket. Something we're running a high-stakes carnival game. Dave, thank you so much for joining us. We'll get on to tracking down where Liam is.

Jesus, what a start to the year. We'll check those three spots. Talk about a to-do list. We're chasing one or all of the hands with boys to hit a tennis ball out of the roof. We've got a beef farm that looks like it's going to get up and running. No, that is a huge 2026. Thanks, Dave. We'll chat soon.

Welcome back, boys. Thank you, bye. Thanks, mate. Hame, just because we're forced to stop working during the government a mandated podcast break. Doesn't mean that the emails don't keep flowing in. Appreciate it. Like honey.

Hamishanee.com. 50% of the emails fall on your side of the fence. 50% come to mine. Did everyone, did you just zoom past when I said they float in like honey? Or because they have been floating. Just scenting honey with a bee resistance. If they floated like a bee,

that would be a reference to mummerly. No, they flowed in. Oh, but honey flows so slowly. Yeah, honey flow. Not at our farms, mate. Not when you've got. Oh, so it's wet honey. The runny honey.

What do you mean? What do you mean? There's so much of it. It's the perfect viscosity. It's still going to flow slowly. Not when there's heaps of it, mate. I'm worried about you joining this bee operation, Jack, because you don't know much about honey.

But people obviously want to remain powerful. Yes, of course. And power moves keep coming in. A queen meat. We do pride ourselves on being the number one show to listen to. to if you want to get a social advantage and through power moves. Are you sure to put a sting in the tail

of any social interaction? This one's from Nick. Nick, power moves for your boys. On the day before a friend's wedding, okay, so you could use this. Yeah, this is great. On the day before a friend's wedding that you're attending, text the wife or groom

and simply say, hey, after just what's happened, are we still on for tomorrow? Good. Yes. After what happened to the Bucks, are we all good? Ando, this comes in from Andrew Donaldson. I'm assuming he's someone's got a small business or he's a tradey. This is a power move for everyone that's watched Harry Potter. And he's then in brackets he said, which is everyone?

So he's not enough, but Pat Cummins? We haven't. We've learned. Loves it. We learned over the break, Jack, yeah, when we did Quizmas, the supplementary podcast on Amish and Andy Plus Plus. One of the quiz questions came up was Harry Potter-based, and we can phone a friend, and straight away,

I was like, oh, Patty Cummins, Australian test cricket cap. Couldn't believe it. And he got it. Straight away. He laughed. He said, this is not a quiz. This is just common knowledge. It was not at all.

It was about Severus Snape. Have you not watched it yet? Because aren't your kids into Harry Potter? You still not watched any? Haven't watched any. We did four books and then petered out. Yep. It might be a family trait.

Four books, no movies. Four books, no movies. Watch the movies? Nah. There's so many movies to watch. Look, I'm not saying no, but, you know, to give you an idea, you know, the last movie we watched as a family was Napoleon Dynamite. That's where we're at.

Oh, okay. But we could get there. Anyway, power moves here on, let's watch Harry Potter. Andrew loves it. He goes, my apprentice did something good today, and I congratulated him by saying, so you can tell us if this works, Jack. My apprentice did something good today. I congratulated him by saying, well done, mate, 10 points to Hufflepuff.

Obviously, everyone knows that Hufflepuff. Is it good? Yeah, that's good. It's the lamest house. You're saying to your apprentice, you're part of Hufflepuff. Right. I give you 10 points to Hufflepuff. It's the forgettable house.

Right. Nothing exciting about it. Nice, zing, I mean. So it's a good Harry Potter, Ben. You don't have to be a fan of it to appreciate the power of it. This comes from Jordan. Oh, boy, he's got a power move for you. This absolutely flattened-bee.

So I tried to call my mate a few weeks ago. Proper mate, too. Grow up together, still catch out once a month. My mum asks about him with his first name. What that's the measurement of. Well, that's a big mate. Anyway, the phone rings twice when I go to call him. It goes straight to message bank.

Before I could even hang up, a text comes through with an automated online booking system link, me to me, asking to book in time to call him. This is the bloke I've known since year seven. I'm now standing there scrolling his mostly empty calendar trying to lock in a five-minute chat. This is good. I think that's really good. That's something that if I sent that to Zoe, it would be a joke. and if she's in it to me it would be for real.

Yeah. Yeah. Because I still haven't cracked when is the best time to talk to my wife. Always does seem to be not the ideal time. So I might get that off you, that scheduling system, just to be like, hey, love to talk to you about this year's Christmas. I know it's only March, but yeah. I'm not going to know if you've got five minutes.

If we could catch up in September, I'd love to log it in. Ando, this comes in from Callum, gusto to all. Gusto to you, Callum, works in any setting when you're borrowing someone's pants, board shorts, dresses, skirts, etc. Works best in front of them. You might notice for people that know much about clothing, those are things I mentioned there. A lot of those cover the lower half of the body. Yes. When trying on your friend's clothes, fart in them.

This immediately asserts dominance by. marking territory. It also, instead this is for you, Jack, is likely that they might be pretty disgusted by it and they might allow you to keep them. You'd try them on in front of the person and immediately oh mate, those are good board shorts.

You might if I try them on? And then would you, Jack, if someone farted in board shorts in front of you, would you let them keep them? I would ask them to wash them and return them. Oh. Okay, so there is

and they can be, it can be resisted Pretty good mood. Not a bad move. Um, from a rester. I think this is my favourite today. Hi, boys. I think my grandma recently power moved me.

I'm not sure, so I'd appreciate your take on it. For context, she's 99 years old. Power moving itself. But fully mentally alert. We can't blame her being senile on this thing. She's just got a bit of sath.

On my recent trip overseas, I bought her a bracelet. When I returned home, I gave it to her and explained that it was a gift for her. She took a look at it and handed it straight back to me and said, I'm giving you this bracelet to remember me by. That is good. My God, I'd love to do that with a lot of presents. Such a great mood. In one fell swoop, you look like a hero, and you've deepened.

flooded. It's pretty good. It's the dream. Payne, been a big show back. And we've left the biggest news for the last, actually. Webgeese and Jez, come on in here. I've basically dropped

a lot of excitement today. People will be going, oh my God, you've lost the password again. He really lost it. He took our suggestion earlier in this show series. He's like, guys, I heard what you said. I changed the password. I've burned it.

Jesser, you've got some news for everybody. Hamish and I know the news, so does Jack. But do you want to share that with it? Dream job for 18 years, it's been. And it feels really weird and surreal to even be contemplate and sharing this out loud. It's been very strange to process the last month or so. But, yeah, deciding to move on.

And this has been an adventure of a lifetime and my dream job. and that's why it's been such a hard decision to make. But I feel like life's short and there's new adventures to be had. And in the spirit of starting this adventure in 2007, it's just like that same gusto is in me to try something new and scare myself and chase some dreams that I've been wanting to build for a while but haven't had the full time and energy to be able to put into it. So that's, yeah, moving on.

We love it. Well, we don't love you living, but we love you. and we love the concept. We're fully back, fully back, the adventure of a new chapter. Yeah. But it is crazy, but we're like, we want to mark this moment because it's been 18 years. 18 years.

I remember you. You're the longest serving member of the team apart from Andy Lee and Hamish. And, yeah, just me and Jack started in, yeah, 2008, 2007. I'm sorry, yep, I also, Jack. No, no, jazz did start a month ahead of me. Well done, yeah. You all done, yeah, you don't. Always.

on all records at hand. Well, we've taken some time to process this. You've been part of the show, not just behind the scenes and bringing Hamish and Andy's digital life to the masses so they can see and also here. But you've also been on air a lot since 2007. I think regular listeners of the show would 100%, you know, there'll be so many people that remember various moments of web geese and jazz. Yeah, you're just part of the DNA.

And for those who may be listening to the pod for the very first time, time, you've missed a hell of a ride with Jezzer, but we're about to catch you up. I first met Jezzer in 2007 when he ran across St Kilda Road traffic, tapped on my window screen and said, you're Andy from Amish and Andy, yeah? I'm keen to do web stuff for you. What a voice. And instead of getting a restraining order, we hired him. Soon he was on a caravan of courage trip with us from Melbourne to Darwin, but we questioned his origin as far as being a cockney chap. He didn't even know what rhyming slang was.

You're a bit of Brit who's travelling doing the web stuff for us, mate. That's right. Web genius. Wouldn't say genius. Yeah, mate, the other night we said, you know, give us some rhyming slang, jazz. I'd never heard of rhyming slang, had you? Oh, yeah, well, I didn't. What are you called tomato sauce?

Horse. No, dead horse. And when I said to you, what are you called tomato sauce? He said horse ketchup. Right, go on laying off one off. I'll know what it means. Right, frog and toad, smode. No, road.

What do you think is my brain just interprets it in a new way? I'm going to give you some more. I think you're actually an untapped genius. Oh, thanks. At new level, new levels of rhyming slang. Big tree. Whig knee. Whig knee?

What a wig on a knee? It's a knee with a big wig on it. I don't think your brain even knows what your mouth is saying. It comes out so quickly. In 2010, Avatar had just come out in 3D and Jez was on the cutting edge of this technology hoping to integrate it into the show. When he came in and said,

oh, boy, I can fully take a picture of you 3D. We went, that's amazing, Jess. Why have we been doing that all the time on the web? But it looks like you've got your regular camera. It goes, just take a picture in front of you and just like swivel a bit. And if we put them on top of each other, it should be like fully 3D.

Now, Jez, what made you think that this could work? I googled it and I found a website that says gave me a little YouTube tutorial on how to do it. And I think, yeah, that's how I did it. And I think it does work. I haven't tested it like with the proper glasses. But do you think... So you haven't seen a 3D image and these?

No, no, but I'm just going off my judgment that it's a good thing. Do you think you can get it working? I will get it working. There's no doubt about it. He didn't get it working. But that wasn't his biggest challenge in 2010. Jez was in charge of the merchandise. but when we organised a concert for Frank Stallone, Sylvester Stallone's brother.

For one night, Stallone, we're one of the T-shirts, yes, we wanted to give it to you. I think it's... Before we go on, though, have a look at the back. Your Franks for the memories? Yeah, yeah, just reading down. Oh, what? No, there's not a Spellano narrow, is there? Come on.

Tour dates, venue, date, city. 18th for the set. Seven. Bullocks. Ladies and gentlemen, what you've just heard there is the penny dropping. Jeremy has made a thousand t-shirts or thousands of t-shirts and the date of the concert is the 18th of the 7th

Have we turned up a month late, Jez? Or did you put the wrong month on there? Back to the past, isn't it? Not as exciting a film. That's messed up. I'm really sorry. You know, I've been stressed out on this. I've been busting a boo.

Jez, Jez, Jez, Jess, Jess. We can't reprint these. They just have to become collector's items. That sucks. I'm sorry. Two years later, he'd be charged with building our own social media platform to rival Facebook, introducing Chums Group. There's a lot of outrage over the lack of updating on chumsgroup.com.

It's my fault. I'm sorry. How many people have applied to be Chum's Group members? 2,700. And how many are on the website? 323. So where's the breakdown? So you have to enter all.

the names manually. Yeah. I wanted to get as many as I could. I only got to 3.23. It's quite a lot, though. What's your message to all those chums group members out there that are eager to start enjoying the benefits of chums group? I do feel it sincerely, sorry, because... But you're going to make it better? I will, yeah. How? Figure it out quickly. I'll just get, I look at the computer now and figure it out. I will. learnt that we couldn't trust him with 3D images, merch or global social media platform. And he learned he couldn't trust us with personal secrets. Like when he told us, he bought a mannequin to sit in the passenger seat of his car to using

the transit lane, so we had a mate call him as a policeman. Jeremy, I'm calling you because you've recently been observed driving with what appears to be a puppet or a mannequin in a car using the transit lane. Who says, what time did you say that? Jeremy, we need to deal with this now. Do you understand there's serious implications and consequences as a result of so blatantly breaking the law? I don't see it as a law break. I mean, I'm not going to argue, but I feel like it's not one to be worried about.

There's not to have a big problem, isn't they? But I went to it again. How about stuff on the wrist? You're saying. Yeah, good old, you're comfortable, hang. He really did love maximizing every opportunity that arose. If you recall him, when we told him I would organize a car spot for you here at work. This is a perfect example.

Oh, great. Would I be allowed to live in this? I'd like camp there and I wouldn't need a car and I'd just go up sick. Yes. And we said, no, I don't think you're allowed to live in the spot. And he's like, well, it's my spot. True. So again, I just don't think.

Just plumbing, sanitation. Well, he said I'll just use the work kitchen and work shallots. But there was no longer saga than trusting Jezza with the security of our Bitcoin in 2013, only to discover this four years later. I said to Jess, how'd you go find the apartment for the Bitcoin? And he went, monkey or something, and walked off and got himself an apple. Well, that's not going to go down in history as the world's best destruction. He did get out of answering, honestly.

But I found out today he couldn't find the passwords. So the good news is we still got two Bitcoins. We're writing that continuing to ride that surge in price. We can't. We can't sell them. We've got to sell them. We can't. Surely it's like you've misplaced your password, reset password.

Yeah, Bitcoin don't let that happen. So there's only one part. you can have and once you write that down, that's the only existence where it is. So where'd you write that down? On my to-do list. Years ago. Years ago. How many years ago we're talking?

I think it was four years ago. I mean, how many goes do you get at putting a password in? Unlimited with this one. And I've been going, I've gone at least 100 times. A hundred different variations? Yeah, just different ones that I've ever had. Could we get a hypnoticium or something? Is there someone out there?

That's a good idea. They could get... Drag it out of your head. We knew the password was in his brain, so tried hypnosis to get it out. Although, we learned more about his co-workers. That's fun. It's fun.

It's not next to Trough. Sitting next to Tram. Sometimes it annoys me. Sometimes it annoys me. She laughs really proud. He laughs. He laughs too loud. That's okay.

Maybe the passwords I hate trap. capital P capital P capital P capital P yes oh one two three four

so one two three four don't tell me it's password one two three four he's probably written

password he's probably written password exclamation oh password one two three four exclamation what's happening

now you fold it up and put it away He said I think I folded it up and put it away. Where did you put it? And what was on it? But eight years later, he surprised us with some news. We never thought would happen.

You found the Bitcoin password. You got it. Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm stunned. I've got, I know, it was insane. And people have a Bitcoin? The weight off the shoulder.

What are we going to do with it? You must feel so happy. I never thought this day would come. I know. And similarly, we never thought this day would come. Jezzer, you've been a dream to work with and done an incredible job of bringing a digital world to life. Jezzer, we will miss you wholeheartedly,

and whoever gets to work with your next should count themselves extremely lucky. However, whoever that is, obviously be cautious with your Bitcoin passwords. We love you, mate. Oh, man, that was... Go to you, buddy. So good. Great stuff.

Great stuff. So many moments. It's just like infinite. And so many laughs that, all the laughs were like off air as well. It's been, it's a lifetime of fun. Well, we. It's been the best. You've been with us on so many adventures too, like all through gap years and just everything.

Yeah, we only highlighted the bad points here. I will be honest, I forgot that when we started Chum's group is still a very powerful social media. I've completely forgot that you had to add you. users manually. Yeah, yeah. Got to about 40,000 users. Yeah, 50. 50, yeah.

Yeah. And it all could have not happened as well, because I didn't even get accepted for the job originally. They gave it to someone else. Oh, for SCA, yeah. And then that person turned it down and then I got it. So it's like, it feels like the whole thing has been happenstance. Well, mate, we're so proud of you.

We've loved having you. Whoever gets to work with you next is going to be very lucky. I know you're still going to be doing some online stuff for people and people can reach out. But tell us about anything else you might be doing. Yeah, I'm going to just focus on two main projects I've been working on for a little bit, but I haven't had enough time. One's a cacao drink that Jack actually likes.

It's like a coffee alternative called Kyleash. Is this what I had before ConCon? Yeah, yeah, I gave you some. Yeah, that's so good. But some people are you, I mean, I'm a coffee drinker because I'm, it's not for, because I was like, what I have to do is instead of coffee, but it is delicious. Yeah. What's called?

It's called Kyleash, cacao. How do people find that one? Kyleashkikau.com. And it's like an adaptogenic healthy coffee alternative. For people who don't drink coffee, it's so good. I love it. And then my homecoming podcast, which is just about a spiritual journey

and finding unity under the skin amongst us all and all the spiritual stuff without the woo-woo. You've been one of our best deep thinkers. That's certainly taught me a bit about that. It's hard to say goodbye. It's been a dream, but you'll be a part of it forever. Thanks so much, thanks. I love you, man.

you guys. Thanks for listening. The Hamish and Andy podcast will return next week. Catch up or contribute at hamish and Andy.com.
