The Chosen One? 

A listener production. Activate your internet. Because the Hamish and Andy podcast starts in three, two. Sorry, still buffering. Ahoy to me hypertrophic. Hamish. Yes. I think you'll find that Jack is sub-trophic.

No. Jack is cheloid. Keyloid. Is there something to do with muscles? Because hypertrophy is... growing muscles. I'm a troughic. You're just a regular troughic.

No, I think it's like the opposite. Oh, a troughic. Not trophic. You're in the realm ham. I actually knew this one because I had it. I had it when I was young and we had to try and treat it. You had cheloid? Oh, my ass-gris.

It was on my bum. Okay. Cheek shapes. I thought you might remember it happened. From being on your bum. Is it a scar? Is it a scar? We are the three most common types of scars.

Scars. Keloid is firm and thick and raised. That's Jack. That is Jack. And a hypertrophic is thick and raised scars that stay contained within the original boundaries of the scar. Of course. Keloid grows out a bit.

and atrophic is a depressed or sunken scar. Sunken scar. Okay. All right. You sound like Hayish was looking at my bum a lot when I said. If I remember correctly, though, no, this story came up a lot on radio. You weren't you trying to slide down a hill or something and you just slid over at like an exposed jag of metal?

Yeah. When I was in grade four. He still got the scar. Still got the scars to prove it, Jack. I won't impress it upon you, but if you ask for like after the show. Ahoy also to Rachel, who went to hamishnead.com, and used the very, very easy to use this. Much better than WhatsApp to upload the audio there

and tell us what she's up to. Ahoy, boys, I have a pleasure, Andy, for you. I was vacuuming and found a small piece of pink Lego. Instead of vacuuming over it or throwing it in the bin, I walked past a bin into another room. I opened a cupboard. I pulled out a basket that was in front of the Lego. I put out the Lego container, found its corresponding color-coded bag.

Great. Put it inside. Container back, basket back. It felt pleasurable. I cannot imagine what it's like to live like that. I am a bit of a chakarata, but I can't throw out Lego. I think after, I wanted that way. I can't throw out Lego.

Even though you find a tiny bit and you're like, we have so many of these. This will be of no consequence. I just morally can't throw out Lego. Like, you know, I'm still... It's part of a set. Yeah, well, no, not even that. None of ours are part of a set. Like, it all just goes in the giant box.

I didn't, until I worked on Lego Masters, and I saw you go into the brick pen, it's all separated by colour, and then I said to Brickman, who's on the show, I was like, people separate by colour. He's like, yeah, how do you build anything? Like, just dump it all on the floor. Sips, and it never occurred to me

the people would actually put all the colours together. But I can't, yeah, I can't do that to Lego. because it's got a use. Hey, last week on the show, you set the challenge to... Yeah, I mean, this was a science-based challenge. Three of us.

It was a dance contest, essentially. Remind us of the scientific experiment. So I came across something on Instagram, so you know it's definitely scientifically back, but it was scientists in the UK, I believe it was, had come up with like a 3D rendering of a human shape that, assuming they'd,

done tests on a whole bunch of, you know, willing subjects who'd watched samples of men dancing. Yes. And this was what women scientifically find the most attractive dance moves. I guess they'd like amalgamated it all. Yep. And they'd come up with essentially, you know, one dance to rule them all. Yeah. This is just like the skeleton key that unlocks all desire in women.

And it was this kind of like 15 second clip to, um, the hit song What Is Love of this humanoid. Now, I'd seen this rendering. So we're like, let's test if this is actually true. Straight after the pod last week, we were like, go into the other room and we all have to lay down what we think is the sexiest dance. Now, because I'd seen this one, I was like, I'll have to do my best to do that exact dance.

Which he did a very good job of it. It actually replicated it very well. I think the whole experiment relied on that. But then you guys had to, this was a bigger ask. You had to freestyle what you thought was the sexiest dance, knowing that then to get it judged, we'd lined up our buddy Vaughn, who lives in New York. I just kind of mentally thought,

other side of the world. Yes, that feels like it's the most random. We're going to send the videos off to him and he had lined up three women he knew who have no other conception of us to just blank, like cold, look at the dance, judge the dancer on their sexiness.

To make it even more scientific, we thought we've got to take looks out of the equation here. We all wore a paper bag on the head. Paper bag on the head. Paper bag on the head. We also can't have any unconscious fashion cues, giving someone an edge or a disadvantage, because Jack and I were a bit nervous.

We were in shorts and, like, it wasn't the... It's just not dancing. It's not dancing here. So we all, but you were in jeans and a white t-shirt ando, so we all decided to wear Andy's clothes. That left me without clothes, sitting in my undies while you guys danced. Not my place to say,

because I'm not part of the audience part of the experiment, but I did find that, there's you sitting there sort of sad and slumped over in your undies. I found that unsexy if I'm being honest. I think that's fair. I'm glad we didn't show on part of that. Oh, so what did you? So dancer A, here's some behind-the-scene footage. What do you think of him now?

Well, we do work in a communal environment, so I was in the dark. I was sitting in a studio just in my undies. And then the studio producer came back in and switched the lights out and went, Oh, oh. Sorry, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. What kind of rumours that might as far. This is how our dancers went. Dancer A, Andy Lee.

Bag is on my head. I can't hear anything through the AirPods. What do you say? I've got five seconds to get into it, do I? And then do my moves? Is it a singular dance group or is it the whole thing? The whole thing. There can be multiple moves.

Okay, there can be multiple moves. you can do in 20 seconds. Okay. Am I going to hit anything? All right, hit me with it. Starts with finger pointing to the sky into shoulder shimmy. Then backwards falling,

one arm to the floor behind him. Walking on the spot into hip, chute, shoot. All right, you've done yours. I think definitely the pressure of just knowing that it's going to be. Starting it and being dead cold sober. It really something. I don't think I've ever tried to dance sober.

That's a great point. As soon as it started, there was a few things. Sober, bag on your head. That was the other thing that stuck on to me from... Doing for a camera, like, is it not a person. Yeah, it also felt a little bit like a peep show. Because, like, yeah, I've set up the camera now, now dance for me. You're like, okay.

It feels like you're fulfilling a weird... Yeah. Craig's list request. Yeah, so all of that definitely goes through your head. Sure. Can't tell you what? 30s longer than you think. Right.

Like, I thought I'd done plenty. Keep going, please, sir. We haven't got enough. It's like breathalizer, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. Blow, blow, blow. Yeah, so I guess I'll get into me on these. Yeah, we need your clothes.

Jack, how are you feeling? Yeah, I'm hating it. I'm hating it. I'm hating it. I'm scrambling in my brain. It's like, okay, think of a good dance move. Think of a good dance move. Jack just goes, move,

every time I go to a wedding, and he goes, like, just say to myself, I must learn one move. Because you realize you get, there and you're like, got to have just something. I've seen you with some good moves. Thanks, man. I have.

Which one? Which one I come to. Describe it to me. Describe it to me. Show me does dancing. Yeah. So, it's in there. Yeah.

Just so you know it's in there. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. I'll just feel it out. I'll just feel it out. I'll just feel it. Yeah, yeah. Yes.

Okay, great. I'm getting my clothes off. Good love, Jack. Dancer B. Jack Post. All right, this slightly goes against the spirit of the game, but Andy, we can see Jack through a one one. glass. He's limbering up. Got it.

Oh gosh, yeah. I think he started. A couple of claps to get into it. Oh, that's a nice. He's dangerous, though. He's walking a bit. He's going for a spin. He's going for it. He's going for it. Ando, he's going for it. Yeah. Arms out. He's don't hate it on the bay. I think he's, I think, whether it's better. You know what I mean? Like, I don't know whether it's more

attractive than I was doing. But he's doing a lot of arms out, like with his hands going, give it to me to the crowd. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. That's just a starjohn. I think he knows it too. He actually was on a great run and he finished with a star jump.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's longer than you think. 30 seconds is way longer than you think. You get to 15 seconds and you're like, what else? What else? What else can you do with your body? You wait for a star jump. Did you guys see me? We did see. We accidentally see.

We're going to see it anyway. Yeah. Best. I went for a start, did it look like half a star jump? Because halfway through the star jump, I'm like, that's not a dance move. That's an exercise. I hope for your sake it's not included in the stream, but we'll have to be rigorous if it is in the election.

No, we can't, Jack. You might have cost yourself a win by putting the star jump. It was like watching some of the Winter Olympics get to the end of the ice skating. And the track still has 10 seconds left on it. And then just doing up a little teapot all over. Yeah, I regretted the star jump in mid-jump. Did you think you found it? Because I felt like you started a little bit tentative.

And then you went, then you did it be like, Lewis Capaldi. I'm not going to do this coming my own defense. Let's get some sound jobs from Andy. But then you did that, like, kind of crowd are you with me? Yeah, I did a great time. Oh, you saw that? Yeah, I did like, it lets like hear the crowd go. Jack, you were spinning around with your arms now.

Like, honestly, like you were playing a stadium going, this is what I've waited for. So, to me, to me, it was. Which, it's a huge move on. first day, but it could be a cool move on the dance fall. Yeah, you've had a bit of I'm the DJ getting 10,000 people up and about versus I'm seducing a single person. I mean, you had to freestyle it, you had to go for energy, you did what you had to do. And you're about to do the actual sexy dance?

I've got a slightly different challenge now because I actually have to, for this experiment to work, I technically should destroy you guys by doing the scientifically most sexy dance, But it's on me if I can recreate the sample that I have. Dancer C. Hamish Blake, doing the scientifically calculated sexiest dance moves on earth. Side-to-side Carlton shuffle. Then into rotating clap circles. A mini sprinkler in transition. Some big Chris Martin windmills.

Finishing with the thumbs-up side jiggle. Perfect. Woo! I think we got it. And surprisingly, Hame did get it. Like, I think that was a very close replica of what the 3D rendering of that sexiest dance was. So I'm glad that the scientific test that we're trying to send off all these different dances is going to be accurate. Well, I mean, I'm sure this will put this up on, you know, on social pipes and YouTube and whatnot.

But it's a slightly different experience for me because you guys just had to listen to your heart and let the music move. you, I had to, you know, land within the constraints of someone else's idea of what sexy was. But it's still the best I've ever seen home dance. Yeah. If you're trying to say you were handicapped and then we had it easier than you, that's not true. I couldn't listen to my heart and I think I do dance best when I can listen to my heart. Let's just, let's see, though, what the women of New York City thought.

We haven't heard this audio. I'm not even, I don't know what the women's names are, but I believe. the instructions I gave to form when I sent off the dancers was like, look, we just want, almost like the brown low metal vote, we just want like, you know, done. Three to one. Three to one. Highest, you know, three being the best, one being the worst, for each of the dancers. And some small explanations as to why. A few of them have been told Ham were actually kind of commentated it as they watched it

so we can get a sense of that's happening. Be tough not to. But this is how the results came in. I am Amy Bailey. and I'm actually from Florida and live in Florida, but I'm in New York City for a photo shoot. Dancer A, Andy Lee.

I'm going to wait to see all of them. He's giving me one. That definitely gives me one. The backwards. Oh, my God. Yeah, right. Okay. Oh, my gosh.

Oh. Dancer B. Jack Post. Wait. Isn't it a different person? Got it with the clothes. Oh, boy. This giving me dad vibes. But out. Look at the butt out.

And doing jumping jacks. Like the jumping jack is to dance. Oh, God, you guys are making it really hard. Dancer C. Hamish Blake. This is the worst. Who's better? This guy? Okay, he's trying to do like the lawn mower a little bit.

I don't. Okay. Off the top of my head, I will say, the order from sexiest to least sexiest B, A, C. So B gets three, A gets two, C gets one. Sure, let's say that, yeah. Let's just do that.

After Judge One, Jack Leeds, Andy and second and Hamish last. Hi, I'm Nicole. I'm in New York, and I'm going to see who's the hottest out of these three dancers. Dancer A, Andy Lee. Love the Vend. He's going to Amish. Ooh, we love the full effort.

Oh, about a little hands. Hands, little shoulders. Dancer B. Jack Post. Ooh, you like a point? Little walking man. Ooh, to the brown. Hunting. Ooh, he's good.

Oh, getting low. Jumping jacks? It's gym class. Okay. Dancer C. Hamish Blake. Oh, wind up. Very good.

Ooh, we love a clap. Oh, wow. Wow. Wow. Yes. Wow. Okay, so Nicole, out of A, B, and C, three is the highest, two, second, and one is the least. Okay.

How do you rank these three? A is three. What? C is two, and B is one. It was all about the effort. It was about the different vibes, the different steps. It was about the... the overall feeling of this.

All amazing. Andy looks like you're sexiest. Congrats, Andy. After two judges, Andy takes the lead on five. Jack slips the second with four votes, and Hamish still lasts with three. Okay, my name is Ray. I'm a model in New York City.

I'm going to give three votes to Mr. A. Andy Lee. I really like that he gave all of himself for this dance, and I liked a little shimmy at some point and I just find that he really let himself go on that one I'm going to give two votes to Guy C. Hamish Blake

Because I was pleasantly surprised by how original his dance moves would. I do think he could have used a bit more of his body because it was very much arms and upper body but I would have liked to see more leg action and I'm going to give one vote to Guy B

Jack Post. It did feel a bit elderly and it reminded me of an uncle at a way type of dance, but I did enjoy it nonetheless. And final scores, Jack and Hamish tie for second with five points. Andy Storm's home with the win on eight points. Maybe I had the unvaried advantage of being comfortable in my own clothes. Yes.

And that would only be a one-point swing. Elderly has to sting, Jack. Yeah, well, I think he was wearing an older person's clothes. I felt older in Andy's elderly clothes. There's no really good way to twist that. That's bad feedback. Yeah. But they don't really make the sexiest people on the planet in the hottest city in the world,

Jack, what do they know about fashion? I feel like we... Jack, am I right in saying here? There's no way, Andy won that. Like, I just think I was bracing myself for a jack win. I thought science could prevail and we could see a home win, but I do not think that was an 8-5 runaway. I got the vibe definitely that they were just picking the

best of a bad bunch. And no point were they like, well, that's a clear winner and that was great dancer. That's true. That's true. No one made a sound to indicate that they were attracted or around by any of this. Most of it was, there was a few wows,

but I think shock really. There was more oos, like, oh, gosh. And this guy, and he knows that you've submitted this video, he's happy, even though he's got a bag on his head, his friends and family, well, no, it's him. Oh, boy. Oh, no. Oh, God, I can only hope that in other areas of...

I agree. If you put Gosling and Lottad, chatting Taiton, guys that can actually dance in there, I think it would be very different. But... I'm going to take the win. No one saw that coming. Certainly not bad. Hey, we are the show for people who feel deeply, so deeply, that they're empathetic about everyday items or objects,

hence you come here and you list your extreme empath experiences. It's got its opener, which is... every single song in the world all at once, so one song doesn't feel left out. You ready to go? Do you want me to kick it up? Go for it. From Alex.

I wouldn't normally consider myself an extreme empath, but I find myself getting very offended on behalf of those trees on the side of the road that get trimmed in weird ways, so the branches avoid power lines. It feels like someone gives them a terrible haircut every month and they have to sit in front of everybody publicly. Yeah.

Pretty fair. Pretty fair. As far as that's, that is a bad lottery ticket to draw if you're a tree. Yeah. Most other trees just get to do what they want. And most, in those situations, often there's treats that are tree lined. And so the bad haircuts would be staring across at those that just don't have a haircut at all. That's true.

It's just on one side. Yeah. Like, I've got the Kim Jong-un hair cut and you just get to do whatever you want with you. That's not fair. Okay, this comes in from Matthew. You said the other day at work I noticed someone left three seconds on the microwave timer. Not a big deal. I didn't think anything of it at the time.

But after coming back in after my weekend off work, I noticed the three seconds was still on there in the kitchen in the break room. I was surprised to feel a sudden sadness that that poor microwave just went two days knowing it was three seconds away from finishing, but couldn't. Talia, I'm extreme empath. and the worst thing is when I see someone fogging up their glasses to clean them. I feel so bad for the glasses because they have to have someone blow hot, stinky air breath in their face before they get clean.

But they're getting cleaned? Isn't it, aren't they getting cleaned? Yeah, I suppose if it was getting clean with a soap or a water or something, if I came up to Jack and went, hey, mate, your face needs a bit of a clean. Yeah, I wouldn't like that. Well, speaking of cleaning, Eileen writes in, and she said, Normally I wouldn't think I'm an empath, but I found myself guilty today. So she had brown specks in her clean white washing and realized the washing machine must be dirty.

Chat GPT suggested that I clean the machine with vinegar and bicarb soda. So you guys, it turned it onto a super hot wash. And as I watched it tirelessly spin, I started to wipe down the outside of the machine as well, saying, you poor thing, you're always cleaning everything, but no one ever cleans you. One more. I got Tom here. When I walk towards my car with my keys in my pocket, it does that thing where the headlights flash on and the mirrors fold out,

like its ears are pricking up going, Yes. Yes, we're going for a walk. Sometimes I'm not. Sometimes I'm just walking past it to take the bins out. When it happens, it does get a little excited. I can't just ignore it anymore. I stop.

I make sure it knows that I really appreciate the enthusiasm. but explained that I just can't drive at the... Not right now, pal. I let it know the next drive, when the next drive will roughly be, but that I am going back inside. I'm just sit here for a little bit longer. Quick one.

Quick one from Josh. He says it's his mum, and she said she doesn't want it. She wants to be submitted anonymously. He has also made pains to tell me that her name is Rachel. So she says, he says, thanks to her good fibre intake, she does several poos throughout the day. And she likes to spread them across each toilet in the house. She's concerned it would be mean to use one toilet multiple times in one day,

said, but is also concerned that the others might get jealous if she only used one toilet throughout the day. So I don't know in her world, did they want it? Are they hungry? Or do they fear it? Is it something that I'd rather not have to do? She can't figure it up. Anyway, they get spread across so no one's feelings get hurt. I've always felt like they want it, which is sick.

It's what they were made for. It always reminds me the robot toilets that automatically lift. I mean, that's so eager. That's where I've got it in my head that they want it. So I think she's being charitable by sharing with everybody. Like, you know, dolphin trainers at SeaWorld or whatever. Like, come on, I've got to fish for everyone. You've had yours.

You get yours. I was going through my notes section, my phone and discovered that I had done some research over the summer break that I've forgotten to show you guys. We love effort on this show. We can't stop. A lot of shows just talk about stuff, but we're the show that backs it up with the numbers, baby. As a big cricket fan, I did a lot of listening to the cricket over the break. particularly the Ashes.

Yep. And we all know the phenomenon of every brand that is placing an advertisement within a sport. Yep. Cricket, it is this time, tries to find a link between their company and the sport of cricket. Some are much easier, you know, like a beer company, they're going, hey, you're watching the cricket tonight, have a frothy. Fine, that's a good link. That's fine.

Cricket's always been my favourite ground for this, though, because pretty much everyone, and I don't know if this is where you're going this or not, but everyone comes back to the phrase, hit something for six. Like hit, hit streaky wind shields for six with new turbo charge wiper blades or whatever. Exactly. And it's always something you can't actually hit for six.

So I've collated my favourites. Okay, great, great. So I've collated my favourites. First one, and I'm sure you'll pick up of what I'm picking up on it. Sometimes they've gone a long bow. Other times it just didn't really make sense. first culprit for me was Beaumont tiles. Yep.

Down the leg side, he's feathered it through. Just like Test cricket, Beaumont tiles is an Aussie original. Test cricket originated in England. Pretty sure. What a strange feature of the sport to pick. Yeah. It went on to just tell you the latest deals at Bowman tiles. There's no follow-up as to why it's made the link.

But for me, that one was a miss. I mean, you can just go an Aussie favorite. Ozzie favorite. That's fine. You don't need to say invention. Yeah, there was no need to put the word original in there, but that is a miss for them. Next up, Ui insurance.

To say you haven't shopped around for insurance until you've tried Ui is like saying you haven't watched cricket until you've seen a summer showdown. Ui, you insured. Am I right in saying I think that says the reverse here? I don't know what the Thomas Showdown is. Yeah, I'm assuming that's like a marketing name of some match. Yes.

I don't know it. I think they've gone from broad language around we're not going to say which cricket game you've watched, but just any cricket game. A Summer Showdown. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I haven't heard. I just assume maybe that's what, you know, they call a certain match between like two big basketball.

teams or something is the summer showdown. Never heard of it. Jack, if you came to Stiffant, we're all having a beer and you came to the table and you went, she had been loving the cricket this summer. Have you loved the summer showdown? What? I haven't. I'm not going to watch the summer showdown.

How can you say you love cricket, mate, if you haven't enjoyed the summer showdown? That's like saying you've shopped around for insurance, but you haven't talked to you. Yeah, the reverse doesn't work. This one I'm not going to tell you the brand because in its lead-up, as this ad went out, I was like, what brand is this? You know, it's almost, and then it gets revealed. We grew up watching classic catches on the telly. Impersonating those gags, about two for 22,

and dreamt of hitting centuries in backyard cricket, all in the shadows of the Aussie shed. It's a shed company. Ozzy shed company. I thought it was going to be Schweps for a second, because for children of our, or for adults of our age, but back when you were children, the late 80s, early 90s,

one of the great bits of marketing. They owned classic catches. They did. They did. Shwip's classic catch. So they're saying, so you've had all these fond cricket memories. In the shade of...

In the shadows. We're the ones that gave you the... You know how you didn't get sunburned having those memories? That's because of us. Then then they go on to try and squibets from best sheds. And then they go and try and squeeze in a few other cricket terms, which I like. Standard or customised, their batting line up of sheds

comes in all sorts of sheds. Shapes and sizes. You just have a selection. You have a list. You have a list of sheds and a cricket team has a list of batsmen, but you don't have a batting line up of sheds. I'd love to, who's opening the batting for your sheds? Okay, well, we've got the twin wide and we've got the deluxe.

Really, I'd play you more down the order. Who's at first drop? Who's at first drop your shed? First drop's a great shed. That's just your basic lawnmower lawnmower plus accessories. I like that. Who's your wicketkeeper for your sheds?

So I enjoyed that one. This last one, though, was my favourite. Like having... I mean, Beck found it weird when I'd be listening to the cricket and it hit the ad break and she'd normally go, well, this is why you'd have a chat to you and I was going the opposite in summer going, oh, hang on, Beck, I wanted to see what...

I'm researching. Researching. This is my favourite. Big call today, Skipper. You declared early. Yeah, had to. Saw the thinning up top and knew I had to act. How did you fix it? The team had grow implanted my own hair into the fitting areas in one session,

and now it grows naturally. So in this scenario, he declared his team from batting because he realised his hair was thinning. Oh, it's not even an analogy. He's saying, why did you stop the game? Let's listen to that one again. Sorry. Yeah, it's not an analogy.

It's meant to be a real story. I called the game off because I realized I was balding. Okay. Big call today, Skipper. You declared early. Yeah, had to. All the fitting up top and knew I had to act. How did you fix it?

The team that grow implanted my own hair into the fitting areas in one session. And now it grows naturally. Now I said to the other team, can we resume play tomorrow? And they said, well, you did declare yesterday. I said, but have a look at this. Man, gee, that's a good area here. anything that that guy says. We will resume match.

The anger from the rest of your team if you have declared your innings because you're thinning up top, which they would have been bagging you about the entire season anyway, because that's the kind of thing that you do just go. We're only four runs ahead. What are you declaring for?

Guys, come on, look at me. Put the hat back on. It's a game base. Everyone wears a hat in the game. Everyone, bowling, batting. Everyone umpires. It's probably the most heavily happened sport of any sport. And for you to clear the innings and you're out there, you can't notice your thing.

It's the one place there's no reflective surfaces. So how did you know? Yeah. How did you notice? What was it that caused the trigger? They bought it home with trying to link a bit more cricket into this ad. I've got to say, strong comeback for the hairline. No need for a third umpire on this one.

With over 40 million hairs transplanted in the last decade, Grow helps you declare on. thinning hair before it's too late. So I get that that's confusing. You can't declare on thinning hair, but also no need for the third umpire. Yep. You can't use the third umpire for anything. Yeah, you're not allowed to use the third umpire for things that aren't related to cricket. Third umpire being the video referee.

Yes, yes. You know, it'd be like going, I do like the idea that if there is a group of people who are debating whether Sean does have a thinning hair line, the only way to settle it is to go and make Sean lie down on a cricket pitch. and use the third unbiotech technology to scan his head. Unfortunately, Sean, yeah, it's come back, mate. You're thinning. Quick update on whether we've organized Liam Hemsworth

to try and hit a tennis ball out of Rod Laver Arena. Well, that sounds like that anything could be answered yes or no. Have we organized Liam Hemsworth to hit a tennis ball out of Rod Laver Arena? Pending. Okay. I don't have Liam Hensworth details, but a friend of mine does. Yeah. She texted him.

He wrote back immediately, oh, I could 150%... He's sticking with the number. Hit a tennis ball out of Rod Laverina. Okay. So did she invite him to prove it, or she just said, did you say this? She said, well, she said, hey, did you say this? He said yes, and I 100% 50% can. Great confirmation.

She then said, okay, would you like the guys to organise it so you can come and give it a go? He hasn't returned the particular. Okay, so he was online. So he was online. It was, and it wasn't on scene. He doesn't have the red messages, but yeah. Just to be clear, too. We're not saying he has to hit it 150% out.

He doesn't have to clear the distance and then another half. No. Like that's his level of confidence. Even if it dribbles out, he's done it. We just need to see one ball delivered to the outskirts of the arena. Care of his racket, no other involvement. I'm starting to think he might be able to do it. Yeah, but only because you're.

hearing that 150% over and over and over. That's what's building the myth. No, but I looked up a lot of photos. Of Hemsworth? No, of Rod Labor Arena. And from all angles, it feels like... It feels getable. Well, it feels like if you took the court, right?

Yeah. And tipped it upright. Yep. It would get close to the roof. Do you know if that makes sense? Yeah, and in that... And we hit a ball way further than a whole court. Gravity is the one thing you're not tipping, though, in that equation.

Gravity will always have its preferred direction, which is from up to down. Yes. That's the tough bit. But just general length, I feel like you hit a ball. Should we go down to Rod Laver Arena without him get 10 regular guys to hit a ball? And if all 10 of them can do it, just don't bother inviting. I feel like we're putting more in this than there is. I mean, he either does it or he doesn't do it.

I don't know if the listers want us to invest several shows of us pacing it out, mapping it out, talking to tennis ball experts, get the guy on the hit a bat out of the sky. Yeah, you're right. He just has to come down and do it. Do it or don't. I mean, from Jason Schenerton, email or Jason, just found the email in front of me here. Rose is a really interesting point. He's following the saga as everyone is.

I think I speak for all of us and say, we want to see Hemsworth to step up and go, yeah, here's the date, here's the time, get me this specific. racket and you won't be disappointed. And I don't want to put more pressure on Hemsworth because I like all of us would love to see him do it. Jason says, hey, guys, I'm just thinking, for years now the people have been crying out for the chosen one to appear and for special skills to be returned to its rightful place in the show. Special Skills was retired because we somehow, although I think our method was airtight, we somehow selected the wrong chosen one to save the The segment, the segment died.

What if the chosen one was right in front of us the whole time? Brackets, if you count being on the front cover of magazines as being right on. Liam Hemsworth. There's a tennis ball piercing the roof of Rodlava Arena and rising like a glorious yellow sun not represent the new dawn of special skills. Wow. It's time. Do we have the Northman in the stands?

Tell him which way to hit. Spin the Northman round as soon as we hit. As soon as Hemsworth. hits the ball out. We go, stop spinning the north man. The north man raises his arm and points true north, and we will know that special skills is reborn. Well, just a quick recap for people who may have just been listening to the podcast

for the very first time, welcome by all means. We had a seven-course special skills. People would basically say that... This won't be quick. They've got a special skill that isn't recognized by bodies. Yeah, we had a conclave. We accidentally think the one chosen one. I wasn't going to do to that part.

I was going to say, I don't think we need this guy that can, no matter which, where he is, spinning him around inside a room, he can tell us north. I think we're conflating two things. No, but there's a huge underground moving. I think you mis-underestimate, or miss it, underestimate. You just, you're wrong on, you're wrong on knowing the level of passion

that the underground movement who believed the Northman to be the true chosen one. Yes, yes, yes. You spend two weeks drumming him up and making all these rituals about him We're going to meet in midnight in the trees. I found a goddamn scroll in the studio. And I might find another one.

I might find another one. You never know when I will. The Northman's there. His skills not going away. Well, if you find a scroll. People like Jason, people like Jason, are waiting for the second coming. And Hemsworth's got a shot to be, you know, at least one of the chosen two. I'm just saying if we could pull the Northman together with Hemsworth, that could be enough power to see special skills return to the show as people want.

And as it is prophesized to happen. Chosen 2 doesn't have the same ring to it as Chosen 1. You're the one that couldn't figure out the conclose, mate. In handy, we were doing our job outside. I had difficult participants in there. It was an absolute mess in there. Okay, so let's just say it's an open invitation for Liam to set the date and we'll make it work. Do we tell him about the Chosen One stuff, or does that put extra pressure on him?

Well, we can say that we think you might be the Chosen One. Yeah, no, that does put extra pressure on it. If I got invited to come to an event, it was like, hi, you know, where I'm a bike store, love you to come along. You said you could do a wheelie. I'd love to see you do a wheelie. P.S., I think you might be the chosen.

Don't worry. Don't worry about that. Just come on down to the opening. Yeah. Because you'd be like, what was the stuff about the chosen law? I don't want to come in. This feels like I'm the chosen one. Yeah.

I just want to be a guy turning up. So are we just going to open invitation? We're going to put a date on it? Are we going to, like, I mean, we never put a date on Peterouts. Also, to be like if he hasn't replied by June 30. By then. Yeah, June 30, the end of the financial year. All right, this might, you know, if you're getting to the end of the financial year

and it would work for you tax-wise to hit a ball out of Rod Laver Arena, you know, not sure how it would, but let us know if you could ride off the tennis ball itself or the wear and tear on your racket. If you're getting the end of the financial year and you need to depreciate. Maybe there should be a cutoff where we write off all ideas that we're not following up. Like, it doesn't have to be the end of the financial year, but, you know. Well, okay, so you're saying interesting. Because I've got a side idea that I mean, it's not, I'm just going to put it out here to let you guys know.

I'm not asking for permission. I'm just letting you know that this is happening. I think I will push forward with my B operation. No, you won't. No, don't. I had someone, a mutual friend of ours. I'm just saying, you're not going to hear about it here, but I have decided to push forward with this exciting honey operation. Is it called Must Be Nice? No, it's called Hames Hives. And if you go to hameshives.com, I've actually built a website, a landing page. You can register your interest. There's a small questionnaire there if you're a honey fan. What are you reading your interest?

I'm just in the business. No, if you'd like to be on the Hames Hives mailing list, so we can let you know when we get the hives up and running, and as honey production flows. I had someone text us this week and said, he watched an ABC documentary about bees and went out and bought 12 hives. He said it was the worst decisions he's ever made in his life.

Sure, there's some pushback. There is some pushback. I've had some people actively go, you're not cut out for an agricultural operation. I try to explain to them. I'm not actually going to be the beekeeper. I'm going to hire one of the most exciting up-and-coming beekeepers on the scene. I don't know who that's going to be yet,

but they will be ready to disrupt the whole industry. hameshives.com, if you're interested, that's all I'll say about it on the show. All I'm saying is you end up... Do you think this will peter out by June 30? No, because you're stubborn, but the... If someone just ends up rebadging their own farm... Yep. Yeah, there's going to be some asterisk to it.

Don't worry, I'm going to be sifting through this. It's like when you say you're baking cakes and you're just assembling them because all the cake gets delivered. He does a good job of the cake. Thank you, Jack. And as I will with the New Zealand, Alpine, single origin, raw, organic honey. It'll be an amazing honey experience.

For those interesting. Okay, good luck. There'll be different streams. If you'd like to stay abreast of the operation, Yep, by June 30. I'll have my next update by June 30 for you guys. From now on it becomes an underground honey operation. It'll obviously be launched and it's very much above ground.

But we should make it very clear. We're not using any of the show's money or the people's money on your operation. You made it clear where you stood when we took the vote. Yeah. And I've unfortunately, due to my deep belief that this is a good idea, I'll have to forge forward like a solo bee, which is very, very hard. They are a hive animal. But you will forge forward like a drone, a solo drone.

Well, we're barricing for you. I am, actually. Oh, well, now you love that. I mean, I didn't want anything to do. I didn't want to do to work. But I wish you luck. I don't want to see you fail. It would be a bit funny to see that.
