A listener production. Activate your internet. Because the Hamish and Andy podcast starts in three, two. Sorry, still buffering. One. Ahoie to me horns wogglers. Hamish. Good evening or morning, depending on how fast you downloaded the podcast.

Feels, I don't think it's in the Harry Potter universe, which would give Jack a very big advantage. Could be, but it could also be in the Roll Dahl universe. Ahoy to me snowswangers. It's Rolled Dahl. I think it's like the BFG or something. Is it something like this? It's Roll Dahl.

You're really close. Charlie and the Chocolate, no. Ahoie to me Wangdoodles. It's Charlie in the Chocolate Factory? He's got it. Yes. It's Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. It's what is it?

It's Willy Wonka's like animals or is it from Ompalumpur? Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. It is the monsters of Lumpurland. There you go. The three main monsters.

The horns woglers are sneaky, troublesome creatures. That's you, ham. That's me. The snowswangers. They sound like rejected IPL teams. It's the New Delhi snow glas. That's Jack. He's aggressive and a ferocious beast.

And the wang doodles are the most feared of the three. which fell on my side of the fence. Well done, Hayme, full marks to you. Ahoy also to Caleb. He's in Seattle. Went to Hamishandy.com. If you ever want to upload there, it's very easy to use system.

I mean, if you've got time. Some audio and tell us what you're up to. A lot of time. Do what Caleb did. Ahoi, Andy, Jack and the King Bee. This is Caleb in Seattle. I wanted to ask you to help me sort out some confusion regarding my brother who introduced me to the pod.

My brother has gone on, he is now, on a 40-day solo canoeing and backpacking trip in the wilderness. And so he has literally lost touch with not only the common man, but the uncommon man. And yet he's getting in touch with the ancient man, I think, in my opinion, but perhaps not the ancient common man, but the ancient uncommon man with the high-tech camping gear and such that he has. So I just don't know how to categorize him in my brain right now. And I'm wondering if you could help me out.

Thanks. I mean, it's bloody impressive to go a 40-day solo mission. Yes, but has he lost touch for the common man, literally, because he's obviously in the wilderness knowing in touch base with him? Is his gear too good? Is his gear too high-tech to have been able to say that he has lost touch with a common man? I mean, unless he's got a powered canoe and he's, you know, got a butler going ahead, setting up glamping spots, I think anyone doing a 40-day trick.

Yeah, it's not luxurious. Pretty common man. Common man. I agree. Yeah, he certainly can't be accused. of losing touch. I think he's in a rare... There'd be some in the outdoor world, though,

that it's like, oh, you know, that's a store-bought canoe. Should have carved your own. Still would be some common canoeists that would sneer at that. But I, you know, maximum respect. And hopefully, you know, once he's out of the wilderness, he celebrates with this episode. And he is us saluting him. Although that audio probably was several decades old.

So probably either well out now or... Didn't make it? Yeah, lost in the legends of time. It's been two weeks. weeks since Golden Day. You didn't really touch on it last week. Probably still on a bit of a buzz from last week. But now the chance to get our head around it.

Credit card has been safely secure again, as in out of your hands, but also the walls are back up. Here's what I wanted to talk to about the credit. I mean, people would have followed along with Golden Day and knew that I had about $70,000 to spend on that credit card. And I should point out, I know 70,000, people hear 70 grand and go, that's such a huge amount of money.

And it is, we are giving it away. I think there was a few, like, sometimes the Instagram comments, people are like, oh, this, you know, it must be nice. I'm like, yeah, it must be nice for you guys. This is $70,000 of prizes. Yeah. It's not. 75, I think we end up going to.

Did we say 75? Yeah. It's not federal money. No. It was going somewhere else and we seized it. No, no. To spend on elaborate prizes. There's not a kindergarten that's not getting a playground update.

That's still on charmers, whether they are or they aren't. That's about our 75 grand. Here's the interesting thing. It all happens so quick. And this is the first thing I want to just flag in the spirit of honesty. It all happened so fast. And there's also some follow-up logistics with things. Like sometimes there was something we saw.

There's one big item in particular. I was like, okay, mate, it didn't really have a credit card option. So, yes, it has to be purchased. And we're going through the process of purchasing that at the moment. But the figure you see on that, account on your phone is not the total number. What do you mean? I suppose this is a two-part question to you.

Number one, are you happy with how things went? Well, yeah, things are arriving at Mashi Studio. You guys left the address for Mashi. So he's sitting there cutting our... Storage is an issue. Cutting our packages and music with boxes all around him. So we have to sort that out. Do you remember when we did the World's Tours had at Horses' Warehouse?

Yes. I couldn't help but notice there was so much space there. Yep. we're going to talk to Hawks and go, can we use your warehouse? Can we use a corner? Is there an item that big? There are two items that I would say will come in a box, actually three that are about the size of a skip or a street sweeper.

Wow. That's too big for Marci's office. Would you want to follow off? That seems like a hassle, like when Jeff decided he didn't want the golf golf carton? You'll want them. You'll want them. Just to follow up on my first question. Are you happy with it? That's great.

Very happy. In the frenzy, you'll know that tight accounting and the word frenzy don't go hand in hand. Oh, you've ever spent. It's possible we crept into the 80s. My second question for you is, how's that sponsor going? Because I would love, I don't think it would be too hard to hide six or seven thousand dollars. We may have squeaked over. Yes.

I don't think it be too hard to hide that in a sponsorship check. Yeah, we'll just put it in beverages or stuff. Extras. Taxis and beverages. So, yeah, okay, sponsors hasn't come forward yet. So, like, as we said, we'll talk about this now, but we probably will then, it'll lie dormant until a sponsor comes and says we'll do it. That was my other question. Can we, do you feel okay with us?

Actually, I'm requesting a pause. I know you're still hunting for a sponsor and this will help you. But the most premium item, the thing I'm most excited about, it is coming from a far away Land. Kingdom. Is this the thing the size of a car or something else?

This is about, yeah, there's about the size of a skip. Okay, right. And you want it. That's bigger than a car.

Is it? A skip's bigger than a car, isn't it? Imagine a car came in a box with polystyrene wrapping and stuff on it. Right, that box would be very big.

That would be a shipping container. Small than a shipping container about the size of a skip. This prize is the jewel in the crown of... Really, it'll be the master prize at the end of the game. Yeah. Well, this is where I would like us to narrow in on because sponsors are asking,

what are we sponsoring? And I'm like, we're not quite sure yet. So it's hard for them just to sign off on something. But there will be a game show. It's a game show where all the prizes will be given away to listeners. The audience would just be full of listeners. It'll be the hottest ticket in town. Yes.

Because I think it's going to be, if you, I don't know, let's say there's a hundred people in the audience. I think we should go for more, but yeah. You're going to be a, well, let's say there's 200 people in the audience. I reckon it'll be a one in five shot to get something. Yeah, that again doesn't tell the sponsor what the show is. You just said it's the biggest ticket in town was something you mentioned. Again, we need to give a bit more substance. So can I run a few things by you?

First up. I'm just saying the big, just let me finish. The big item, size of a skip. Four months away. Wow. Some customization has to happen. Then it goes through a factory. Then it gets here.

Very worth it. Okay. Well, that gives us a time on. So we're looking more like October, November. Just bump it a bit. Because I think, I can show a picture of this thing. Yep. No, it's not the same.

On Price is right, they always had the thing there. It's a jet ski. And then the thing turns around and it's a picture of a jet ski. And we've got Barry here from the Kawasaki factory. Barry, tell us about Jetski. Oh, mate, we're putting it through. You're going to love it. Big seat, good engine.

It's the same way as a lot of your family members give you a Christmas present with something just printed out on 840. A piece of baby. Oh, 10 nights of babysitting. Okay, first one, name. We started out with Bitcoin Blitz, and then we thought we were urging back into the price is correct. I think prices correct makes the most sense.

So the show will be kind of in that feel, but not exactly like that, so we avoid any copyright issues. We don't want to get sued, but I do think we want to play a series of, with all due respect to Larry Emda and the gang, kind of shitty games to win the prizes. Is it going to be about,

price guessing. Well, I mean, the whole thing about prices of rice was guessing the price of the kettle correctly. Yes. I didn't actually, I'm, it's more thinking like the yodling game and the putting and all the. But they were all just different versions of guess the price. Yeah, they were, weren't. Like, even the yodagh was guess the price.

And then basically the yodeler who went up the mountain represented how close you were to the price. And you fell over the edge. Yes, yes. So I didn't record. I think Carly did. I'm just saying I didn't really write. down the prices of anything. That's how we ended up

squeaking a bit over the budget. Yeah, Carlis saying she's got him. And I've got the bank statement. Is that just only go to me after the fact. Do we need to know the prices of these things? Well, here's the thing. Vaughn, for instance, has written in. He said, touching base with regards to the prize distribution system, that is your area.

What do you mean? The showcase and how we present the prizes. Yeah, but I'm not sending them out. No, no, no. As in, like, on the day during the game. Screams of logistics. I'm not doing that. He said, I know. you guys are debating whether it's a Wheel of Fortune style. Yep. Oh, showcase where you...

Where there's a showcase and then the contestants pick what they want. Oh, good question. Or is it more Price's Right style where the prize is nominated for you? I think it's a mixture of both because let's just say, for example, this isn't in there, but, you know, something comes up, but it's like those boots that squirt out water that you can fly around in, whatever they're called. And, you know, you see them down at the... On lakes and stuff.

Like jet boots or something. Jet boots or something. Again, that's not one of the prizes, but it wouldn't shock you to find out something like that was. Yeah. So let's just say that comes up. If you're there for... But you would prefer something else awesome. You don't want to be forced to win the hover boots.

Wouldn't you rather the chance to win the thing you want the most? So you think it's more showcase and people go through and pick? It's less exciting though, because every round, they go, what are we playing for? And then you wanted a rotating like system where you can come around. Yeah, that's right. It's hoverboots.

It's hoverboots. Which I think is exciting. We'll come back to that. But there's the things we have to think about. This is from Ben Benson. His name is from Sweden. Double S. Okay.

I was going to say fake name, but possible from Sweden. He said, you've had so many great games over previous years of radio and podcast. Will any of those feature in the people's games? game show. For instance, am I naked? Oh, you? The duping game.

Also good. Friends galore. We had that game where we bought someone in and with listeners and said, is it their dad or is it a stranger or dad? Would we play any of those games that are signature games to our show for the chance for people to win? Can you imagine someone playing random John for hoverboot? Yeah. And stranger or dad in studio makes a lot of sense.

Much better than the radio. Yeah, the radio is all visual. We had to spend half that segment describing what the dad looked like. It was one of the more visual things you can do that really relies on every now and again when we remember it's an audio format to say things like trust us. They look really similar. So say, say, am I naked? Yeah.

We have some behind a sheet. Or even just seeing their neck. Like someone behind the board and their chins over. You have to go, are they naked? Because this is like, we're not filming this for TV. No, YouTube at best. Yeah. Drop the board.

Let's see this nudist. There you go. So that's a possibility. I like the idea of that as we built this show. And then everyone's a winner. Yeah. Finally, Jack, how are you going with the div the jingle? Well, I couldn't.

So the instructions were. What a surprise. The first line is, this is why it hasn't happened. Well, you can't. His show only just got name. named five minutes ago. What was I going to do? Two versions?

No. That's unrealistic. That number's far too high. So we had this one sent, bear in mind you are tendering this. This one has already been sent in for Bitcoin Blitz. But to give you an idea of what you're up against, this came in from a couple that are in the music industry.

Amish went shopping on the ground. Golden Day came in when he spent, 100 grand there's a bit comes worth of the prize is up for grabs and you could win Win big on Bitcoin bits Jeez that's good Probably probably AI

but still very good No they guaranteed it wasn't A and then listed their credentials as musical performers and recorders Take it back Which they could have put in Jack KBT That could have also been

The prompt Give me a guaranteed But I did believe them I did believe them I did believe them. We don't want AI ones. We want people legitimately submitting to tender. But see, that's exactly what I was talking about.

Now they've done all that work, and you've gone and changed the name of the show from Bitcoin Blitz to the price is correct. So what a waste of their time? But that's show biz, mate. That'll be out of update. Move things and break fast. Things break everything, move fast, whatever the slogan is.

Okay, so we will, you will tender yours, though, eventually. Yes. Yep. Next month. Okay. That was a great insight into your. Meigs. We, internally, he just went, what are you doing? What are you doing? Don't ruin the week.

We're enjoying unemployment. Give us a month. Okay, one month's time from now. Everyone else get your submissions in as well. The tendering system. The good thing about this game shows, it's full of prices you want to win. Let's not forget,

the most game shows, it's like crockery, a kettle, a dapleon. And psychoppedias. Until maybe you get a shot at a car. Yeah. That was the whole game show. world. This is, I promise you, wall to wall, and I asked my wife before I did it too, I was like, honey, unlimited, like, I'm about to go crazy with this credit card. What would women want? And she gave me a list of the stuff that she would buy, you know, if she was just like,

recklessly spending. Beck was so jealous of you. Yeah. She said it would have been the best day. All right. Well, there are things to think about. We won't, well, we've got months now. Jack, you have a month. You've got a month. Next time we'll speak about this is a month, but we'll do some work in the background to try and get the formation of the show and we'll try and get a sponsor. We will. A little bit of a parenting update. Jack,

this could be a little bit of an echo into your future. You know, we've mentioned before, we've both got little boys, mine's a little older than yours. So sometimes maybe something pops up. You're like, oh, this could come up in Gordy's life.

Yeah. I mean, Sunny's not feeling little anymore. You send me videos of him jamming on his drums. I'm like, he's a little man. Yeah, little man. He's doing great. And in that vein, you know, it's fast, it goes quick, and he turned 12.

And a little bit after his birthday, kind of called a family meeting and went, listen, I'm 12 years old now. You know, swearing in our household, you know, obviously the kids aren't allowed to swear. They love the concept of swearing. Wait, so you're allowed to swear, but they're not. We tried not to for a while, but that's slims. And I think a lot of families run this was like, guys, you can't swear. do the kids, mum and dad do, but just sort of... But you've got the experience because you did so long on radio

where you have to train yourself not to be able to swear. And we don't swear on this podcast very much. Like, you can do it, but it's not like... After the first few times where they catch you like swearing under your breath or something and they're like, you just get a bit over that. You go, you know what? I can. I'm not going to be... Stop policing me.

It's annoying. I can do it. Mum can do it. We're grown-ups. We kind of know how to do it appropriately. Yeah, we don't use it. You explain to them the reason people don't swear is because depending on who hears it, that could be upsetting to them.

It's not that you guys don't know the word. And early days, we went music and, like, you know, no worries. Take out music or they're allowed to listen. No, no, they've been, you just have a lot of. If it comes up in a music, a lot of songs were swear words in them. And especially as you get into the comedy song era, like a lot of art, we listen to a lot of Auntie Donna. and you just got to, you let that go.

I played tribute from Tenacious D. They love Tenacious. There's a couple you've got to ride. You know what's coming up? Yeah, and there's a few Mother Effens in there. That's my mother Fens fine. But when it's like, you know, a couple of people that Tenacious D fans,

a couple of the deep cuts. Like, you know, you don't always have. Oh, whoa, whoa. Skip, skip, skip, that's fine. We'll come back to that song on your honor. So you learn how to ride the volume a little bit on that. But then, data. day they're hearing it. But they will never say it. They'll never, they'll say

sometimes for effect, if something wants to repeat a funny song, you'd be like, can I please, can I have an M? That's so polite. And they'll be like, all right, it's for effect. Sure. And it's like an actor. We have a rule here. There's a water slide park we like to go to sort of like a few hours out of Sydney. And there's a ride there that's a tunnel, or dark tunnel, and I, just for the fun of it, go, in the tunnel, we can swear. That kind of makes sense. I don't know why, but that makes sense. It makes me laugh so much to hear Rudy.

She can't get them out past them. And knowing that you can combo them together. You'd hear some odd combos, I'd imagine, because she tries to go through what she can remember. Once you go, you can have whatever you want. It's just like they run out in 10 seconds. Being it's sizzler and you're just like, God, I'm full. I'm sure I'll put a sausage in the chocolate boost. What else do you do?

I don't want to go home. So, Sunny comes to the family and goes, I think I'm old enough now at 12. I think I can have the S word. I can use it responsibly. And I went, you know what? I said, well, because you mature enough to bring that up, and you've obviously thought about it, I agree. Like, let's welcome.

Welcome. He was like, all right, this is the shit. And I was like, yeah, well, that's me. We're at the dinner table. Like, until I trust you, and you know, you've got a great sense of what, you know, you can read the room. You know how to use. He's like, yes, he is having a ball. Right.

So he's having a ball. Would you say he's overusing it? No, but he's certainly enjoying finding times to you. Okay. And then, so Rudy's there, Roos 8, and she's put her hand and gone, well, can I have it? I was like, no, you're right. I mean, when you get to 12, you get me, you're saying, Sonny, it's like a pen license. You can say shit license.

So you can say shit. And she goes, well, so what? I get nothing. Yeah. I say, well, yeah, that's, you got to wait. She goes, give me the P word. What's P? Piss.

So I'm like, you know what? It's not. It's harmless. It's just soft. It's a very soft. So I'm like, I didn't even know what you're doing. I was like, all right, you can have piss.

And she's like, piss, piss, piss. There you go. But same reason, Sunny, you have to use it appropriately. We've got to see that you can handle it appropriately. It's okay. So Sunny, he'll say something like, you know, oh, look, no offense,

but this thing that was an absolute piece of shit. Yeah. Right? And then Bruce Hing there, and you'd be like, hmm. That sounds like it would have pissed me off. Cut.

How do I use a piss to agree with this shit? And I've since coined the phrase that it was a pissing good time. Just got to get them away. Haim, a lot of people asking to play this game again. Tell us someone we haven't thought of in a while. We're halfway through the year now. We played it early. As it gets deeper in the year, it is going to get harder to win hats.

Yeah, it's going to get harder. Hats are sent in from different companies. Hey, I'm running us through the hats on offer today that people could potentially win. I've got to be honest with you. Usually this segment, we are poo-pooing one of, if not all, of the hats. Yep. I feel like all three hats are pretty good.

Have merit today. We start off with Wolf Hydraulics. That's a flexi-fit. But it is, that's a high quality hat. You wear this playing sport. And it's a pretty cool logo on the front. It's actually a cool logo, kind of quite an angular wolf, obviously, is what they're going for there. But simple.

Yeah. The only reason I knew it was Wolf Hydraulics was at the back. It is kind of like it's a fitted hat, but that's where the snapback would normally go. Yep. Yeah, I mean, it really screams. You go, geez, if I needed to use the power of hydraulics to move something, otherwise would be too hard to move for human power. Yep.

I could turn to wolf. I'd be looking at wolf if they... Because they trust. I trust their hat. I trust their hat and that's a large, extra large flex fit if you know your size there. Yep. Next we have direct flow plumbing,

parachute materials, sports, lightweight trail hat. Very good for the hipster. Very current. Yeah. Very current. I can't pull off that hat, I don't think. It is, it is the idea is, I mean, you could wear it beachy, sporty,

kind of a five-panel system. Yep. You know, kind of the inspired unemployed or their friends would get away with. They're almost getting too old. You can pull it off into your footies. Ryan, our mate, Ryan, would wear one of these. He lives in Fitzroy.

So that's fine. And then my sister asked whether she could offer a hat, so she has made it through the vetting system with a bit of nepotism. A roof carrier systems. We've got a netter hat here. Roof carrier systems, which is Andy's sister and her husband's business.

Yes, roof rack company. Roof rack company. So it just says roof carrier systems there on the left. And I've used roof carrier systems so I can attest to them. Me too. They also do roof boxes. I got a roof box there. I paid full price for mine.

I think I got a good deal. Didn't you get it for? No, no, I didn't get it for free. From the old radio show I used to work up. No, no, no. That was the radio show I'd worked for did get some free roof racks that weren't for me. They got them for... That's right.

And then never gave... They didn't do the on-air mention. Didn't do the on-air mention. And then the mid-morning guy had to do the mention, which isn't really... It doesn't count. It was meant to be in the breakfast show, a big promotion for roof carrier systems.

Yeah. And they forgot. You forgot, yeah. I didn't know any... I think Christian said, no, he didn't want to do it. And then it got pushed. Yep. That's unfair.

Was that around the same time that you got this alleged good deal on your wraps? I got the good deal just recently. So thank you guys. And once I'd left the radio show. So I think if anything, I've parted ways with that radio show. Yes, that has done bad to them in the past, and now they can give me a good deal.

We've carried systems on one side. So black hat, white font, nice and simple. You know, save money on a graphic designer. And then they just has snow tires on the other side. They sell snow tires as well. Yeah, but is that a brand or is that just... Yeah, good question. It's a double-branded hat.

It's a double-branded hat. It looks like a brand. It has like a mountain with a snowflake. green, white, green. I don't know, but it racks is no ties. Seems like you're just saying a product. Yeah, maybe they're the only ones to do it. I don't know.

Anyway, good hat. That's a trucker. I would say it's hat three, though, when it comes to, like, selection. Just a power. I mean, I think today comes down to head shape, really. You've got a large, extra large flex fit. That's the Navy blue Wolf Hydraulics. You've got a really reliable stock standard kind of black trucker

for roof carry systems. As reliable as a service at roof carry systems. Don't expect the Jack deal. I would be very happy with the regular deal. They do. They do. And then the parachute kind of material five panel hat. Okay.

It comes down to your hat preference. So that's what I love about the hall we've got. Should we jump into it? And do you have someone? Yep. Okay. It's been a while since I've thought. About Antonio Banderas.

Yeah. It's been a while. Since I've seen there Because we've played the game so regularly I forget how much room we've got to say it So we generally jump in really fast But we've got plenty of time You have more time

But that's a great one That would have won I haven't thought of Antonio Banderas For some time You take as if anyone has watched Shrek Or Puss in Boots lately He does an excellent job in that As a Puss

But if you haven't You've been probably Banderas free for the year Blake, ahoy to you. Oh, your lads, Gusto 2's. Tell us someone

we haven't thought it for a while. I'm going to have to go with Crazy John from Crazy John's mobiles. Oh. I have...

Real flashback. Yeah, I think it's pretty good for me. For a second, I had a flicker, but then I think I was thinking of Ozzy John

from Ozzy John. No, not in rather than Crazy John's. Was Crazy John just Victoria? I think he was? He might have just been Victoria. He was Mobile's,

wasn't he? It was mobiles. Yeah. And Big Kev was around the similar time of ads where someone would yell at you. No, you're thinking Ken Bruce. Oh, Ken Bruce has gone mad. Ken Bruce has gone mad.

Crazy John versus Ken Bruce. Who's the maddest? Who's gone the most insane? Who doesn't understand pricing? The most, who can you take advantage of? Blake, you've got it. I'm about a crazy time. What Pat would you like?

Oh, it has to be the roof racks. You have to have the double branding. Yeah. You're going to be a hit of all the parties you go to. You're answering questions about both roof racks and snow tires. Left right, right. I don't get a weasel. Deal, I'm happy.

Yes, they will honour the Weasel. Use code word Weasel at checkout. Thank you, Blake. Katie, ahoy to you, Katie. Ahoy, boys, and Mr President Weasel, how are you guys? Ahoy. We're great. Tell us something we haven't thought of for a while.

I can't actually claim this one. My friends and I, we play a lot of your segments often, and we played this over the weekend, particularly. It was my husband, Wilson, who suggested this, and we got, who won a fake hat, no hats. We don't have, must be nice. Don't have hats to give. Maybe you'll gain one today.

I hope so, but I kind of like them, so I'll probably be mine, not his. I think I'm going to go with Crash Bandicoot. Oh, no. Oh, no. I want to give you the win so bad, but my son has like a Guinness World Record Video Games edition book, and we're reading it on the weekend together. And there is a chapter dedicated to crash. What did he break?

What record did he break? Well, it's more just like well-known franchises, and he was big, and I was reading his origin story. My brother did say Sonny probably knows about him, so I knew. I should have come with a backup. Katie, sorry, I'm afraid. No hat for you. No way. Hydraulics.

Sorry, I've just got to be honest. I've read, of all the things I read on the weekend, that was probably the most I read. I think he's got, there's like a chemical mishap or a DNA splicing or something that happens. Generally is for the kind of more animals to launch him into the world. And then he has the power. And he spins around and he can destroy things like Taze Devil, but in his own unique way. Was that? Yeah, he did.

That's how he hit things spinning was his favorite. Sebastian, Ahoi to you. Ahoi boys at number six, first time, long time. Oh, nice to have you on. Sebastian, tell us someone we haven't thought of for a while. My person is Barbara Streisand. Oh, sorry. Oh, how can we're reading a book?

A great singers edition. Well, we were looking, Beck was looking while in New York City at all the past, like she was like breakfast at Tiffany's and we'll going through all those yesteryear photos of the stars back of the day that continued on. Meryl Street was in the mix as well. And Barber Streisand did come up as someone that had a very long, career and started out as kind of like a chic diva and then, yeah, just kept going. So I'm sorry, mate.

Yeah. All good, all good. Yeah. Sorry, mate. You can hear the big support. We want to give it, but we must be honest. Sebastian, thank you. Final one.

Tess, tell us something we haven't thought of for a while. Boy, gentlemen, and the little boy. My one is Mrs. Doubtfire. Have we, have I thought of Mrs. doubtfire this year. Look, as things I think of a lot, he is up there, she's up there. Robin. As distinct from Robin Williams. Yes, no, no, not Robin Williams.

I think we have. I think I have. Look, I often use it as a reference. Like, you often will go, like, oh, it's a bit of a Mrs. Doubtfire scenario. If someone accidentally goes to be in the wrong outfit at the wrong time, you know, there's the great scene where she, you know, bouncing back. back and forth between the, there's a business dinner. I think we might have even watched it this year, but I would give Ben Affir de doubt to say we watched it as a family last year. Yes.

But there's a bit where like, you know, he's having a few drinks, running to the toilet, changing character into Mrs. Doubtfire, sitting back down with the family, running back to the toilet, getting out of character. Anyone that has any experience in makeup or television will know that. Possibly. It gives the very false impression of how long it takes to get into and out of facial prosthetics. Yes.

But you put that aside because it was the 90s. I think I have. I've thought about Robin Williams, I know. And it's close. And we were listing his films more recently. I'd be surprised if Mrs. Doubt didn't come in. I mean, it's hard for us to, this is the hard part of the game. But we've got to be honest with our gut.

I think I've thought about Mrs. Doubt. I was about to go, you know what? I'll call Banner for the Doubt. I think we watched it last year. But you do recommend. Yeah, I think it was last year. That's right. Tess what, how would you like?

Would you like, Jess? I reckon we're actually on the line might be in here. Yeah, okay, let's do it. What hat, Tess, you've got it? I love the plumber hat. Oh, well, done. Direct flowed plumbergroom. How old are you, Tess?

27. Yeah, you can wear this. Right in the zone. Well done. Totally yours. Thanks, Tess. Looking forward to it. I can't believe Wolf Hydraulics jackspots.

It was actually one of the best hats. Guys, I don't flat out lie very often. Trickster, yes. Kind of thing a liar would say to you. I know. Exaggerate it. Traitor. Traitor.

I've been cleverly wording something that's not lying. You and I enjoy doing that. I love not. But hiding what you're actually doing. Of course. But just a blatant to your face lie. There is no sport in that. I've always struggled with it.

Coming up with fun ways to say what you mean that sort of sound the opposite. That's the classic not lying. But we'd like to play. Like, you know, what do you think of the meal? Wow, I wasn't expecting it to taste like that. It sounds a bit like a compliment, and it's not a lie. Not a lie.

Not a lie. So, yeah, do a lot of that. Yeah, great. But a straight to your face lie, not so much. My dad used to say, like, any time I did anything wrong, the content's be so big. By 9 o'clock that night, I'd knock on his door and say, hey, I did this. That's good. And I would back that to him.

You are inherently an honest person. Try to full lie the other day, just straight to someone's face. Was it liberating? No, it was uncomfortable. Because this must be what happens in junior real estate agents. world when they do their first one on their like they're showing a one better and like the outskirts of town and then the person looks like water damage no it's actually waterproofing it's we sprayed on some black waterproofing so you'll never get mold there

I just want because I'm like oh my God that felt so easy so you both know that I go get my ears cleaned out at the audiologist. You have unfortunately inferior canals. I do. I do. I do. I never get mine cleared out. I've got lace.

They're lace shaped, not like round. So the wax doesn't come out. What's lace shape? Like a bow. Like a shoelace. Like a shoe lace, you know. Oh, yeah. I was thinking like a decorative doily that a grandma would have on a table.

Like a sexy bra. You're definitely going to get waxed stuck in that. It's a doiless. You shouldn't have wax? Didn't have lace in your ear? No, sorry, instead of like a round like a pen, yes, they're like a lace. Like a shirt lace.

You're not the Italian instead of spaghetti. That's probably a better analogy. So I go and get them cleaned out. Julie, who does it? She says to me, I go every six weeks. This is 12 weeks wait. She says to me, oh, she put the little camera in there. Oh, I think you might get in having an ear infection coming up.

And see these white spots. That might be like a fungal. and it could lead to your air infection can be very dangerous. Will you go to your GP and get that checked out? It's like, yeah, absolutely. No problem. Six weeks later, I go back in for the cliff. This is a good one.

She says, wow, that white stuff has grown. What did your GP say? And I said, he was fine with this. He just had served that way. I don't know. Degrades faith in the medical system, but keeps Andy's squeaky clean record of a guy that does get stuff done. He follows up on things.

So I was like, yeah, he's fine with it. Yeah. And she goes, really? Yeah, but I said, I thought you. Says the best he's ever seen. And so she said, really? I said, yeah, yeah, look, you know what? Doctors can be a bit blaz-z-a sometimes.

He'll head back. He's on his phone a lot. Maybe I'll head back in. I'm actually never going to go back to that guy. I'm going to go to a new one. I said maybe I'll go back in and get him double check. And she goes, yeah, that'd be great. And she's over by the computer.

And she goes, and you did go see him. And I said, yes. This feels like, I mean, I do this like the dentist all the time. It's like, you know, have you been flossing? I have, actually. Maybe there's something wrong with the floss. Maybe that's why I've still got gum disease. So what I thought we could do right now?

So do you think she was, my mind would have gone, oh, she can see my Medicare and she can see all the doctor visits I've had. Oh, I've got your records. That's why I would falter that. I would have, because you do sometimes come to me for lying advice. Yes. Quick as a flash, you sort of said, yeah, I did, but it's not my regular one. And they saw me without needing my Medicare.

It was more casual like in a barbecue. Is it a car park? Yes, that's exactly what we're out. It's actually my friend's uncle, and we were at his house, and he's got all the gear there. Yes. And I don't know his name. I barely know my friend's name. I'll need a second for that.

Since this whole incident, all I've wondered is, did Julie believe me? So she hasn't been able to hear this, but I've got the producers out there to call the clinic right now. Yes. She's standing by. So what are you going to ask her? I'm going to ask her. Did you believe me, I suppose? She has no reason not to, Andy.

I mean, you're meant to be telling the truth. I know. But why would she come back? She was looking at the computer and went. I think she maybe saw your track record. She joins us now. She can hear you now. Julie, are you there?

Yeah. Hi, can you hear me? Yes. Thank you so much. And sorry to keep you waiting. You didn't hear just that little bit. But meet Hamish and meet Jack. Hello.

Hi, Julie. Hi, how are you? Julie, I can hear very clearly, by the way. Thanks to your earwork. Well, I'm glad Andy can still hear because I hear there's a chance he might have a bacterial fungal infection creeping into his ears canals that he told you he got checked out. Yes, yes. So last time we saw him for his regular wax removal, we did see something in the year that suggested there might be an infection. So I recommended that he go and chat. with his GP. And then Andy came back and he said, this is from what I understand. And please feel free

to discuss Andy's medical records. You don't need to worry about this at all. I believe Andy, yeah, then came back and he said, yes, I saw the GP and the GP said, don't worry about it. When Andy said, yes, I went to the GP and he wasn't too bothered by it, did you believe Andy had gone to the GP? I'm very trusting. So yes, I did. Because you did. You did. You did? go back to your desk and you went and you did see him like as a confirming moment and it felt like you didn't believe me. Oh no, did I? No, I'm sorry about that. I do have to trust people when they tell me these things. Well, you should have actually trusted your gut. It sounded like your gut was trying to tell you something at the desk when you, when your gut was saying, press him on this,

there's something slippery about this guy and it's not just he's lace shut. taped canals. And you were correct because, unfortunately, Andy lied. I lied to you. No, Andy. I know. I guess I just wanted to know whether you realized that I was lying and whether we were just going to walk out and nothing happened. But it's pleasing to know that you did trust me. But now have I misplaced your trust for the future? Oh, we'll have to see. Okay. Okay. By the way, I have gone seeing him. It's all fine. Very good. He hasn't.

Oh, he hasn't. I don't think he has at all. No, we're good, Julie. Thank you very much for joining us. I would say the most common lie. Thanks, Julie. Most common lie you get as an ear doctor would be, and have you poked anything up here?

You go, no. Because I, if I feel wax in my ear, why do they sell us Q-tips? What are Q-tips for if they're not? Like, why they sell you this perfect ear-shaped stick? Yeah. I see them in the... They originally called earbuds.

Yeah. And then everyone's like, don't stick anything in your ear, don't stick anything in you. I'm like, well, I can feel it like, you know,

after you swim or something, and the whack is right on the border line of, is it blocked, is it not? I just, I see my hand reaching for the Q-tip. Yeah. And my brain is going,

you're not meant to do this. But my hand is going, I'm just going to touch it a little bit. And I'm actually just going to put it in, not push it, just where it sticks to the Q-Tip. and I'll pull it out and suction. And it doesn't work that way.

It is a pusher. It's a big plug pusher, the Q-tip. I still do it. Really? I head in there as a skewer. Julie's still there. Oh, no. Julie, is Andy meant to put a skewer in his ear?

I can't imagine the advice is yes. Sorry, guys. I was listening now. I will say, we can absolutely tell when you've been sick. things in your ear and no, we don't recommend it. Okay. Hey, going back to something we talked about, I think this was last year, I gently, and I must stress this, gently used a toilet plunger on my son's friend's head who got a blocked

ear after the pool. Now, I didn't just plunge it onto the side of his head. I depressed it first, so then it was only going to be like the suction part, not pushing air in, then pulling it out. that actually worked to clear his ear. Is that a medically supported technique? No, we can't endorse that. Can't endorse it.

Did I correctly hear they're an impressed silence? I think it might have been horrified, actually. Horrified salads, yeah, we're used to that one. Julie, thank you so much. Thank you. Bye. Washing your hands was considered crazy in the medical community. So you can live and learn.

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