I hope I haven't made our show a target of espionage now or cyber hacking. But yeah, very easy for him to go to the website, upload

audio about what he's up to today. I'm already tired hearing about his audio. How would he have to do? Malcolm. Boys, this is Malcolm from Hong Kong currently studying in Scotland. Just about to head off to graduate uni after four years of songs to crown the night for exams. It's a big occasion and big occasions call for big sense. I needed something smart, but also casual. Luckily two years ago my brother sent me a smart casual fragrance from men. Andy by Hamish. Haven't broken the seal to this sacred spray until today. So cheers boys for that, and have breath, Andy.

Gee. Well done, another bottle of Andy by Hamish. The more that gets cracked, the more valuable the two that remain sealed in my vault under my house become current street value $1 million. Hey, you did release a cologne and using my name and image without asking any permission. The world's first non-consensual celebrity set.

Yeah. I was wanting to find out if there were complaints about the scent. Yeah. Where do they go to? They still do you? You kind of complicit. I see.

Oh, yeah. It would eventually find a dilemma, but absolutely no complaints came in. Well, I know. I've had a few. No, they wouldn't have. One with, do you see the one that Jack was lining you up? No, they see the photo. It was just changing color.

Yes, that's okay. Do we not, do we, have we forgotten hyper color t-shirts? Literally the most successful t-shirt of the 90s. We had an email come in saying, hey, it's going more of a urine color. Sure, might be some of the more zero coming to the top give it a shake Is it still safe to spray I wrote back yeah all day long Trying to keep it out of your eyes

But if it pops in there it pops in there and that sent your you'll cry the tears of an absolute well-centered angel And I can only do a quick email here from Amelia Bessara. Hey guys, she's attached, she has attached a recording, but I haven't listened to it. Says hi, maybe we could play Amelia's next week. Okay. The next episode. Hey guys, wasting time at work,

don't really wanna start the day. I don't know what country she's in, but it's an international code. Think about my play on my trip back home to Australia. It's like, gosh, I just tried attaching a recording and this is a quote from her. The f***ing nightmare. Cheers.

Now that's the feedback from the people. I thought it would do. She would have had it. Get another laborious step in this process which could be so easily solved with a WhatsApp. Now, you literally just hold down the button and it's done. Now this has been triple handles, quadruple handles. They're almost as easy as centre to centre and heavy's elves,

then dictate it and have root off, drop it off and quit. No, no, it's the other thing about the WhatsApp, what's your aim address? We have spam. We have spam. This cuts the week from the chat. We're getting quality as we heard. We've had so much more good stuff.

Last week on the show. I'm not having a go at Malcolm's, that was great, but lucky. Last week on the show you launched an initiative. Yep, so I am sending the same amount. For next week. The cent during this week. That's a bit of fun. A, a little time capsule next to say, Hey, and uh, yeah, I mean, the,

the, a whole lot of chickens award for one-off chicken shops. Now we talked about this on last week's episode. Just got your email. I mean, she's war. I'll do it next week. She's worried.

Yeah, just off here because she's war in a text. So it could be just full of foul language. Then we have to audio. Then we can't do if we want, our next explicit episode might be as juicy as it was last time. We've been inundated with emails, not from each other, like just now, but from the general public.

Nominating their local chicken shops. Is it just me and, or do we feel like we have tapped into something that needed to be done for the community? I feel like the Beverly Hillbillies where they were drilled and suddenly oil came out because this is the sliding chicken shop nominations. Now, we've got to be clear. One-off chicken shops. Yes, no chains. So what we've discussed last week, Ham, is a whole lot of chickens award will be for a chicken

shop of excellence that's presently opened and operating. A whole lot more chicken awards. It would be of a chicken shop that has since perished but was excellent at this day. Just to give you an example of what's coming in. This is a past. Do we have a past or do you have a current? Let me throw a current for you. This is from a very alert and creative listener named Jess Fudgeon. I have pronounced that correctly, Jess, I'm pretty sure I have. Now we've got dozens and dozens, probably over a hundred entries so far. And it's only been open for a little while. Jess has stood out and said, look, Mayfield West Cababs and Charcoal Chicken. It's worth being thrown out there.

And at first, I went, oh, you know, I'd prefer a just chicken shop. You know, not someone that's also doing cababs. But you read on and you go, okay, thing going, it is in Mayfield, for a two-mateland road. Have you give people plugs for this? 1989 to a present. So they're doing something right. Yeah, it knows a little bit. It's been a year. Have you noticed that on most of the emails they're often doing something specifically right. Yeah, oh this is

Specifically, okay, here we go the service family so she's friends with the family Yeah, and at first I went oh hang on a sec. Yeah, not the door array Yeah, I'm very alert. I think we've had a few emails from the owners of the stores in Bendigo There's one in Bendigo that I know Was it flight Deck or something? Don't even know what it was. Don't even know who it was. But we know who you are.

And we know you've told your customers to swamp us. That's not the spirit of the oil. LAUGHTER We are not here to be swamped. We're seemingly independent with the use. Yeah, exactly. This is the greatest cheek you've ever done. You've done one of two things.

Both of which are... Hainers. Sorry, I'm taking... I'm taking it back when I said fine. They're heinous. You've obviously got your customers to do it. And small points to you having customers loyal and after do it, or you've engaged some sort of bot farm to just swarm us from different email addresses saying it's the greatest.

What I'll say to anyone that was considering a similar move, pick your best customer and in them, entrust them to do the right thing. Do it once, because we don't want 20. We're not, everyone else had one entry and suddenly some shops got 20. Now we're not, we're not, skin is seen here and go, well, people have spoken. Alright, so look, you know, back in the good odd days it worked for the gold like he doesn't work anymore. Back then it wasn't heinous. Back then it was heinous.

It was how you got heinous. And it was a legitimate avenue for a public to speak, for a path to, and that was an impartial award. And back then it was a very prestigious sort of like a Nobel Prize. Now it's a bit of a joke. LAUGHTER Back then, and a may return that, it might return to that statue one day? Pending off any, and I'll give it, no, no, no, it begins. LAUGHTER

For the moment. The main, absolutely. It's a sideshow. Sidehow. Absolutely. Back in the days. No belt. So for none of those under presence,

so this is back to Jess Fudgey on it. Yeah. So Mayfield West, Cababs and charcoal chicken. The Sarah's family have been churning at their chooks for three decades. I honestly don't know what they put on them. And that happens that comes up a lot just this secret or a little chicken.

But they've done the greek white on the spit, which I appreciate, over the coals in the juices and they're out of this world. Crispy, herby, succulent, perfect birdies. They also do a garlic Greek saucy thing called toom, which is legitimately just a ton of pureed garlic cloves and olive oil, and they do that with the chicken and they're homemade gravy and it's so good.

I do not eat any other chicken products. Wow. I think she means in life. In life, yeah. I love this place so much. I think she means in life. In life, yeah. I love this place so much. I've made them and award myself. Please see attached. And true to her word, Jess Fudgeyono,

has made up something called Jess Fudgeyono's Best of the Best Awards. Congratulations, Bane for West. Kamiya is charcoal in chicken. And she's got their logo and a picture of her. Oh, that's great. For winning my favorite food in Newcastle. It's difficult for them.

So she's made up her own food again. Like that's the level of her. Oh, that's great. For winning my favorite food in Newcastle. It's difficult for them. So she's made up her own, so do you get it? Like that's the level of passion. Yeah. Customers are showing for their favorite chicken shop. Well, I'll throw this one in from James Robinson. Yeah. He says the chicken shop name, the white shop, we call it, have no idea because the trading name signage is worn off. That's what we want. This is what we want, the Hinge and where is it? Cobrum. So on the border of the Murray River between New South Wales and Victoria.

Really good. He doesn't know you as operationally say the start of before I went to high school, but still open now. That's good. And they're doing something right. They're doing something right, Andy. The quality of the skin of the chicken

is out of this world. And I think that talks to a good kind of, there's something about the skin and a just dedicated single chain. Yeah, and non-chain, sorry. Cause a shop. Cause they understand that to stay competitive in this world, you need to do something with the whole work.

He also cites the versatility of the menu. He says, don't feel like a heavy meal of chicken strips, chips and gravy, mix it up. Try the delicious fried chicken in a semi, or a light or semi healthy wrap. So he says he's playing both sides, but yeah, I mean, the first thing. Which I suppose in the standards of,

you've got to pivot a little bit as a chicken shop. You cannot just be offering quarter chicken and chips, even though that's your, that's your staple bread butter. But thank you to White Shop. We are interested in, particularly because it's surrounded with mystery because it's not a wide shop. It's fantastic. Um, here's, here's another one.

Um, uh, it is a, unfortunately, it's, it's a past shop, chicken magic. Chicken magic, great name. Less we forget, chicken magic. Now this was in Clayfield and Queensland. 2000 to 2016 is the best guest of Kim Condon, who's Emile Sinc. She says, the chicken salt was out of this world. My grandma and I would walk down to Clayfield markets

far too often, or large ships with chicken salt as an afternoon snack. Mum would even serve the chips at fancy dinner parties. They were that good. Wow. She'd pass them off as her own. Yep. And other girls were going to parties in high school.

My friends and I would meet at chicken magic for chips and gravy, no regrets. The right amount of crisp on the outside and juicy potato on the inside. Yes, we'll see. We're talking about the chips here, not the chicken. Yeah, yeah. It was a very, very sad day on this institution.

Close down due to illness. Oh, so perhaps there was only one person that knew the magic trick and didn't trust anyone. When passing on that just fair enough. Yeah, sort of what people would have thought about Willy Wonka, then he found Charlie. It never looked like much, which is a good theme of the chicken chopstick, but boy was it delicious.

That's awesome. That's lovely. Yeah, lovely. When we get to discussing the judging, which we're doing a sec, I think we take points off exterior bells and whistles. Like, I think the shops like the white shop and chicken magic was got higher. Yeah, I agree.

For having a shitty, your exterior. Yeah. I think that's the spirit of the awards. Well, that's interesting, because I want to throw something else to do, as we work at how we're going to judge it, chicken king is this one, from Woodcroft and New South Wales, at least 10 years, said their combos are awesome. Okay.

So, they're two-piece feed with chips and gravy on top, no competition. They're saying the salt and the gravy they're using, don't know what they're, how they're doing. That seems to me. It might, it might, it might be if you ever revealed what's in your gravy, your salt, you lose all your customers. Yeah.

One of the big lures of chicken shops is, how are they doing this? How are they doing this? She said, I once, Angela, this is Angela Salmon, said, I once posted a picture of my chicken king meal on social media Never had more likes I she said I considered moving out of home for a while, but it means I won't be anywhere near chicken So I'm not gonna move out. So this is I've had another one of those where, I'll see if I can find it,

where, oh here we go, it's from Jared Tiani, Chico's chicken in Wollongong. Chico's is a Wollongong y'all are in a institution, there would be very few people from the area who don't love everything they have to offer. Simply put, they offer the best chicken schnitzel burger you've ever had and I won't hear another word said of it. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I'm based on the fact that you can see the chin- It's influencing Angela and her move. Hey, let's talk turkey. LAUGHTER We highly offensive. Let's talk small turkeys.

OK, chicken. Let's work out now. Now, I don't know why. It feels right to be discussing this. It feels right to be going here. I know it a similar time last year. We were discussing a whole lot of chickens, a whole lot more chickens, and I know the show.

No one would have expected this as the show move from radio and podcasting only. No one would have tipped, I bet they focus a lot more chickens. But it seems to be where the heart's going and the heart wants what the heart wants. And I don't want to stop investigating these chicken shops. I don't know about you guys. We mentioned going on some sort of tasting tour.

That'd be nice. But you know what struck me reading this is there is obviously, you know, I was thinking, why? Why has there been such a flood of people going, yes, you've got to, you know, you've got to hear, you've got to hear about this one, you've got to recognize them, you know, Jess Fudgey only making your own certificate. I think it's because there isn't recognition in the one-off-chip industry, and I know we're giving it, but what about this?

What if we proposed an awards night? Oh. Like the Logis? Like the Academy Awards? I don't know if we would get the palladium at Crown and Melbourne, but some similar venue. Chooka Awards. The golden chooka Awards, I mean, the whole lot of chicken awards, the golden feather, the golden egg, whatever we want to call it. I love this idea.

The one off chicken shop, the Australian one off chicken shop awards, and now I'm going to throw some fiscal ideas out here. I think we have our selection process but I would like to fly winners in to invite them from around Australia to come black tie, listeners of the show can come black tie, you get to meet some of these chicken shoppers you've been hearing about. You can ask them about their gravy they won't tell you but you can ask them about their gravy or their salt. Obviously the menu that night might be a Baymarie style selection. Would they come and cook in the foreign kitchen? I don't know, but can we do that?

This is where my head was going and whether we can combine the two. It's like a lot of cool restaurants and stuff do pop-up stores. Yeah. And chicken fest. Chicken fest. I thought we get the ones we love. We invite them. Like fest chicken fest. I thought we get the ones we love we invite them tie chicken

We invite them down to pop up store situation close down a street You know that or something like that is a night night noodle market. Yeah, that which seem ridiculous to me If I could be honest because you noodle Why is anyone noodles at night? It's something such an event you have to go to a market for I've really I haven't ever been Showed people love it. No big old and that much. I'm having a little bit of a golden. Yeah I've never been tempted to the night noodle market because I had noodles before I didn't need it in a market saying but a World like the Australian one-off chicken shop awards done as a pop-up

Event black tie night chicken market as a pop-up event. Black tie, night chicken market. So you come. So still very much black tie, and there will be awards at the end, but mostly you get to come, and we set up individual sort of stands and cookers, and they have to be in the same kind of feeling theme of the individual store.

Yeah, you're gonna photos of your store there, you get invited to come and basically cook at the Olympics, and there will be awards on the night. If you're a finalist, we'll fly you in, bring your family, huge, finally you get the recognition you deserve. If you're a customer, one of these stores, make your own way. Yep. I think that's audacious.

It's audacious, fantastic, delicious. I mean, is that the way we end the year? At this stage, it is. Yeah. Okay, you're feeling about it. I really like it. I mean, is that the way we end the year? At this stage, it is. Yeah. Okay, you're feeling about it. I really like it. It can be like a conference.

You know how any industry has a conference weekend where they have a convention, yeah. So you get a lanyard. All right. Because I was thinking outside at night. I was going to go outside, but I think with James Dax talking about this. I mean, the hell of a smoke.

The theme of like, you can walk around and you sample other people's stores and get like, you're learning from, it's not so much competitive, it is just, hey, I'm learning from you, you're learning from me, it's celebration. And for the white shop, to go and see, maybe there's someone still from Chicken Magic's family. Exchange ideas, we did this at Chicken Magic,

thought about doing this. Lovely. Yeah, add a can of Coke to the meal. Well, suggestion. You charge less than just adding the price of the can of Coke. We call it a combo. Yeah, we know about those. Oh, good.

It's good to catch up, anyway. I think that would be magic. So let's put a pin in it. Any other suggestions for us? Hit us up at hamichan.com. I've got one more suggestion. Modest cover charge. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think it's a festival, so we have to charge because we're gonna set up a lot of logistics. Yeah, a lot of logistics. Yeah, we're absolutely gonna be handling a ton of logistics to you, Grinnis. I can see you at there. Yeah, they're out there. Good news, yeah.

But we will do the last show. We'll be the last show. I know you wanted it at night. Oh, we can do it, right? We probably won't be able to do it. We'll do it in a good way. So we do the last show from it. Yeah, I think we do. Wonderful.

And oh, Father's Day, come out this weekend. Yes. Got you dead something? No. Don't do it. No, I don't do it. Yeah. Do you do them or? No. Don't do it. No, I don't do it. Do you do them yet?

I've come to mind. No, dad actually specifically doesn't, I says don't get me anything. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Well I, I mean I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, so I often people say that like don't bring anything to dinner and then you don't rock up with wine. They're like, okay, jeeps, okay.

They actually set it for a birthday in Christmas as since I've never got my dad a present. Why? Why? Why we not surprise. He said it for a birthday in Christmas since I've never got my dad a present Why we not surprise I mean you got your mom got your mom back as delight keyboards My most thing I gave my inbox on Instagram is people saying photos outside Buggers the life so you just get my mom a Christmas present Well, they now they'll be taking photos out the front of nothing saying I'm just getting, my mother Christmas present. Well, now they'll be taking photos out the front of nothing, saying, I'm just getting your data present. That's a map. Jacko, can you write us another song?

But we can't. But he says every time he says, I don't want any. But why don't you play him a song to say, I'm here's all the presents I should have got you. That'll be, that'll be. So you just never got your data present. I don't, I don't think so. I mean, I had to get my, my dad's annoying because he's birthday like last week, but I

found dad and I was like, oh, wrap. Fan him a pair of Japanese steel quality, like very, very good secateurs. Oh, great. Like, you know, how you can go to a fancy chef's shop and get a very expensive knife. It was just like the clipper version of that. Japanese riding on the blade. I was like, you have these for every debt. Like, it was on ZO or whatever.

Yeah, it was like a Hitori Hanzo sword from Gilbert. I mean, probably you could also buy $10 second to his and they'll last you for a lifetime. They don't have a tough life. Second, it's like one snip of a rose, but you know, it's rough with that. But then it repeats and I've got to go again for Father to say this, I should have, I always forget this, to just go, this is the joint.

Like this is you father's day present as well, because he's impossible, but I feel, the weird thing about being a dad day now with two kids at Kinder, which I've got is, Kinder think that you wanna do Father's Day events, the Kinder. You don't, you get invited, all the envisor go, we're doing a Father's Day lunch, come,

and you know, come to Father's Day barbecue. I'm like, have the kids prepare the song? I'm like, my general is, if they've made us, if they've put effort into the performance, I will be there for the lunch. If it's just you thinking that I'm interested in having a cup of tea at 10 o'clock in the morning with a bunch of other men who have children at the school, I won't do that. It's not a treat. No. And I, it's not, I mean, and it feels a bit weird, you have to get into the negotiation

of going right and it's, will there be a card or will there be, is it something that could be given at home? Cause I'm very super happy for that. If there's a drawing or a card involved. Is there a song? Cause I remember there was a song for Mother's Day. And it's just like when Zoe went for Mother's Day, Sunny's kind of, there's a song.

Right. So she knows, she's come back and told you it's worthwhile. And now the thing I got invited to, seems like a cup of tea. Is it's a barbecue coming up this week, one of the week nights. And I'm like, right, so bring the kids. I'm like, I can if you want.

It's like, oh! What, what, what, where's the present for me? It's, I mean, and so now I'm more a tune to it because everything's farthest advertising. Like get this for dad. Something's made something and he keeps giving me bad hints about like that he's like, something's coming in the work.

So I think it's a card. Here's a question I wanted to ask you, Andy, because I got in a bit of trouble. The other week I filled in on the huesies, huesing cats radio show. Yes. You're away and I was on with huesie. And he's got a new book out.

He's got a new kid's book out. And it's called, it's called a how to, it says how to annoy dad on the cover. And it's like crossed out, like how not to, you know, don't annoy me. And it's like about a dad koala with three kids, which is clearly easy. And he's three kids, and about dad's a legend,

like going about his day and the kids are being a bit annoying. Dad's just trying to do his best. And it's like, you know, so it's a bit autobiographical. So dissecting the book a little bit on air, then here goes now anyway, it's like you know, so it's a bit auto-blogger. I think so. So we were dissecting the book a little bit on air And then he goes now anyway It's out this weekend's like just in time for Father's Day. It's a great present and I'm like not a Father's Day present No, and he goes yeah, no it's in stores for Father's Day like you know, no, no, no, no, it's a kids present Yeah, it's not for you. I'm not getting it for my dad

No, I gave him some Clippers Yeah, I'm not buying it's a book for I gave him some quippets. I'm not buying, it's a book for kids, it's aimed at like seven-year-olds. Exactly. Father's Day book, or dad in the title. Exactly. Father's Day book launches a resounding... Dan Brown, ex-cricutus. Ex-cricutus. It's just, it's actually Max Walker. Scott Pape. Even more barefoot investing. Now I'm not wearing pants. The nude from the waist down investor. Scottie Payble has done been coming out on Father's Day.

It's exactly that. That's for a dead man. Yeah. He wouldn't relent, right? So he's like, nah, nah, nah, it's a big sales weekend. I think the publisher's told you, I think you're realizing this for the first time. I think you haven't thought this through and you saw Dad in the title.

And he's trying to pump it up. He's trying to know he's also trying to latch on and clip himself to another day of a fail. Look, he's a maid of ails. Of course we support book sales. You yourself are very successful children's book author, Andy. I would never go near father's bed. You know what you're doing. you know what you're doing.

You know what you're doing? You're a Christmas boy. We're actually going for school holidays. Very clever. But I was looking on Husey's Instagram and he had put up something like, it's with his wife who's written with Holly as well. So all that support that.

Great book, great idea, good fun. But he mentions again, like, now we've got this new book coming up, then I see in the comments. He didn't actually say it's out for Father's Day in his post, but I see in the comments, people've gone, oh great book, we've already got this for Father's Day. No. And it's in the comments saying, yes, stop. Like I said, I'm having to support the book, but I will not support it as a Father's Day present. Don't get tricked this weekend. That's for the kids to give themselves. That is a brother's day present.

Or a birthday present for a kid. Or a birthday present for another kid of their age. Dad's don't want a hizies book and that's not an offensive thing to say. I don't want a hizies book. And he said, do you send me your text going, I'll get you a copy of the book because I don't want it.

I'll take it. I'll take it I'll take it to give to my kids and an appropriate on an appropriate day. I'm not accepting it for Father's day Yes, yeah, give it to you dad. I'm not gonna give it to dad dad. I think dad wants a book of art deco architecture Yes, which you didn't write is someone else wrote that Right that. Hey, last week on the show, we contemplated two people with special skills. Thank you to everybody who emails, hamishee.com. They're only getting better and better and. And particularly, it feels like the VIP form, where you answer a few questions you might

be involved. The special skills are ones that we love. We are. And because we record this in Melbourne, we do the podcast at Melbourne. There's no denying the fact that the rest of Australia are secondhand, many special skills. It's financial problem. You can't have everyone just coming in willing,

like we can some of the Melbourne people, but we want it to be open to everyone. So lastly, we have one about world famous who gets the budget AFL. Showdowns. It was Tom versus Anya. Tom could guess someone's height to the centimetre just by looking at them. Anya said that she can look at a table at a dining setting.

Works in hospitality. And she can just get a vibe. Doesn't really even have to count the chairs. Gets a vibe. Goes across in a scoop with one hand for knives and a scoop with one hand for forks. She will guarantee she gets the correct amount of cutlery Give or take one mindful fork and that to us, you know, you made the call last weekend I feel is actually moderately surprised Tom took it on the chin

But you wanted to see onion. You wanted to see onion today that dream comes true and she has arrived here We're gonna take her over the road. Yep. Take her over the road to a pub. Upstairs with skewered a room. That's where we'll have the plates and tables and chairs. And another room, we're gonna seclude Anja. And make sure she can't see any of the settings. We're gonna take her in. Go, quickly, go, scoop, scoop. Let's pick up the action in the pub. And yeah, welcome. Thank you for flying down. Thank you for having me. What time's it about this morning? 3.30.

Gee, Pizz, Cree, Pizz. It's an early start for this point. Check it, we have to at some point consider a cup because we never... This is actually, yeah, this is valuable marker research for us. Randy and I to get some feedback because we do fly people to Melbourne for these special skills. And I think it's now safe to say the show is notoriously thrifty with the situation. As a bit of feedback like would you say on behalf of the people we do fly down would you like a nice accommodation? Oh heck yeah. Can't do it now.

Ah! The flight to our book, there is none refundable, but it is something we will think about the future shows. Three can have a three-day brutal house. But you haven't had enough on the plane? Yes, had a little nap. Great, we've got the accommodation. So you're feeling fresh. Yeah, feeling pretty good. You're behind people of what your special skill is and to clarify, so we've got the rules right. people of what your special skill is and to clarify so we've got the rules right.

You can go in sight or table, you don't count the chairs, but you can immediately walk across to the cutlery and grab handfuls that will be at least one rifle fork either side of the amount of chairs. Yes, but usually I know how many chairs and then I can go grab the culinary and like without looking just like have a feel and okay, so feel like all that feels like 10. Give us the, give us where this originated from. So in hospitality, is it normal in the place you were? Is it a pub? Is it a gastro pub? Is it a, is it a ship pub? Is it?

It's a bar and kitchen. Bar and kitchen. Is it normal for someone to sit down and order and then you bring them the calorie? No, usually like once they leave, we clear and then reset the tables. If you look at us and go 10 shares, I can grab 10. Yeah. Okay.

I wanted to bring these in before we go set them in the arena, but is that the kind of cutlery grabbing you're used to? We've got two trades. And you're showing a trade with the end of the city of 59's. I'm at the place, I'm at the detail, and did over forks. Yes. Yeah. That'd be fun.

Yeah, your hands will be happy to grab that. Yeah, cause it is, is it, yeah, the symbol, the kind of coloury too. Cause we didn't want to trick you and give you like, big. Now that looks about the same. Arty design. I'm the only one who's doing it. Yeah, with fat hands.

Yeah, like, salad spoons. Yeah, like salad spoons. So, okay, this is great. And what we'll do is we're going to set these up on a little podium just outside. You will enter the dining room. Yeah. You'll walk in, you'll have a few moments to assess the table. Yeah. And then you walk straight across and pick out the appropriate amount.

We do have to be very strict on the one scoop. I'd say hand clearly up. I'm travel down one cross. Once that hand is left, the cutlery, I have to be strict on saying, I don't want to see the hand go back in the cutlery. Yeah, I agree with that. Okay, and you will get ourselves set.

Best of luck, and when we call you in, you can enter the arena and have one coin coin on the table here. I think it is if you get within one either side. So you do have a bit of a margin of area here. But if you are able to set those tables and you walk away with every place set and no remaining cutlery,

well, I'll absolutely lose it. You're gonna cut it. You're gonna cut it. Yeah. Yeah. For those playing at home, it's 18. It's 18. Seats.

Should be able to pick it up pretty easily. It's in a long table. It's clearly 666. But, uh, I'm just locked in another room, which is locked, she's in another room. And we're about to go into the dining room here at the pub. She gets 18 knives and 18 foxes in the other hand. That is impressive. Very impressive. I was worried, baby, we've set two bigger tables. I did a trial. Fordus Closer. I put 18 knives in my hand, and I could easily hold it. She has small hands than me, but I estimate I could hold 25 to 30

Wow, so I don't think she's she's certainly got more than half my hand size. She's just putting chance. Okay Bring her in, nice. Yes. Anja! Into the dining room. Okay. Anja's stepping forward. Her eyes are scanning. There is your nose and forex. Thank you. Her eyes are scanning. She's scanning the table. She knows the number.

She's not even looking. She's not even looking. It's almost like she doesn't trust her eyes. She trusts her hands. That's okay. You're like, oh, that's good. She's got it. How's she got it?

She's got one skin. No, one skin before. Now time will tell. She begins to send that's good. She's got it, she's got one skin, and one skin for Fox. Now time will tell, she begins to sit. Yeah, she's from hospital, all right. Look at that meat setting, beautiful. That's it. That's it. I'm sorry on the table.

She hasn't run out of knives and Fox yet, and she's feeling it. How are you feeling in the moment, aren't you? I'm nervous. Any of the knives to the knives feel right, to the Fox feel right, to see if you've got high, do you think you to think on low I think I might maybe have just not enough Oh, no, I was falling.

Faults on knives or both? Both Okay, she's working on it. Looking pretty good, it is looking pretty good. Don't touch. 13, here comes 14, here comes good. It's all good. Here comes 16. He comes 14. He goes 16. Oh my God! She's so...

Oh my God! She's so... Oh my God! She's so... She's so... Oh my God! Oh my God! She's so...

She's so... She's so... She's so... She's so... She's so... She's so... She said, well, and look, she picked up the exact same amount of knives and forks.

She is one in surplus, which she said she's going to be on your own sides. And it's the best place for it to drop. You prefer to be in surplus than deficit. Well, Stuart, because I'll give you 18 people here. They're very all excited to see each other. It's a dinner for 18, who's done excited? Oh, someone's going to drop a knife for a fork,

and then you step in and say, I've got extra. And that's just a big fat tip. Speaking of tips, you've just won yourself a one coin coin. This is the evening time one of the very few holders of a heinous and angry coin. Did you think you'd be able to do that? I've been practicing at work and getting it like pretty spot on every time. I had a rough idea that I could do that.

Are you happy that you had two left, like a ninth-end fork left over or were you hoping for right on? I would be pretty naughty if I only had like one of each left over so it was good that had the same amount. Yeah definitely a present just from an upset Andy perspective. Oh really a really appreciated. Yeah but OCD 2 so that would have really annoyed me the whole playing ride home. I like that. I've got no CD. No care to can't. I'm sorry. No, I can't. I'm sorry. No, I can't. I'm sorry.

No, I can't. I'm sorry. No, I can't. I'm sorry. No, I can't. No, I can't. No, I can't. No, I can't.

No, I can't. No, I can't. No, I can't. No, I can't. No, I can't. No, I can't. No, I can't. No, I can't.

No, I can't. No, I can't. No, I can't. No, I can't. No, I can't. No, I can't. No, I've been using my family, and I think it reflects on the show and the community at Hull. A lot of the people that you saw listening to our radio show would remember my grandma, Moussi, who was on air. Now, Moussi hadn't been on air with us for a few years, but was still going very, very strong.

But unfortunately, last Friday, she passed away. Great innings, phenomenal. She was absolutely with it to the end. But it's certainly been a time of big reflection because she was a huge part of our life. In our family, she was, you know, absolutely the biggest, most unique personality in the family. And for you and I, and the radio show, and the people listen to the radio show, she became a really big part of our show, especially in the early years. She had a real career that spanned a few, you know, a good five years.

She even came with us one year to the commercial radio awards in the Gold Coast and absolutely loved it. I mean, loved it, like it was a free meal. It was like we had a little demo, which ended up a few awards that night. She just loved, I mean, she's, her and-

She's from a financial situation, but also does love be there. And the end of people that went up to her that night was incredible. It was a really beautiful thing to see. And it's really only been the last couple of days I've been chatting with my brother and sister that we realized that not every family had a noosey.

Like she was a very unique, unique person. You and I are really lucky to have her as part of our show. And I guess I'm very lucky to as a grand kid to have recorded some of those moments to have them recorded. We wanted to, if it's all right with everyone, for the bill, I do remember most, she gave us some of our greatest

on air radio moments. She can never be replaced, but we certainly thought it might be nice to take this moment to reflect on her wonderful contributions to the show, which only a tiny little sliver of who she was as a person, but a really special bit. So, you feel indulges? This is Simon Moose's finest work.

What's a cricket boy? Slow about who I smith? What's a bass dog? What's a bad dog? Hello darling Moosie. My grandma Moosey made her radio debut, knowing nothing really about what she was doing, except that she was helping out her grandson Annie's mate.

Basically, she would just repeat whatever I asked her to say over the phone so we could set it to music. OK, stand back from the phone, you're all, because these lyrics are gonna sting you. Oh, my name is Lucy. I'd like to get Lucy. And if you step to me full, I'll send you straight back to school. And if you touch my short friend, I'll pop a cap in your head.

Oh, OK, Lucy. I think that's enough. We're running a bit late. Hang up the boat if you've got to go. But I'll never stop rapping because I found my slow. Yep. OK. Bye.

Bye, miss. I love you. Yeah. You know what? It's like I'm my slow. Yep, I can't. Bye. Bye, miss, I love you. Yeah, you know what? It's like I'm 45 again. Driving to the shop to buy some land shop. I'm gonna catch up with your pops. Baby, what's the trot? When it comes to politician, you're all. Johnny Howard's hot.

Johnny Howard's hot. Johnny Howard's hot. I'm bringing 60 bags. Yep. Those other bramies don't know how to act. I'll lead you with me if I miss B. Hey. Take me to the park here. She graduated to then basically helping us out with any script, not just singing.

I just heard you talking about that girl that's stuck with Jamie Dury, no less. Do we try to say, have it clear all? I'm Lucy. Oh come on you know what I'm not suggesting that you've actually been with Jamie Jury in any way are you? Habit ball that won sometimes I just come home and he'd been the house. What I mean how how come you gave him a key. I didn't but he kept getting in through the cat flap. Oh God I don't want to know mousse.

He can prove my head just any time. Oh, come on, moose. That's too far, too graphic. Moose had always been the source of all the cheek in our family, and it became clear that even though she was in her 80s, Moose was razor sharp, she was opinionated, she was hilarious, and she loved to band her. Basically, she was a radio pro, she just never had a radio show, and now she did. She became a regular with our guests. She released her first rap single, a cover of MC Hammer's Can't Touch This,

which she performed for the man himself. My music hits me, so hard, makes me say, Oh my lord, thank you for blessing me for the man to rhyme and to high-fifty feels good. When you know you're down, a super dope homeboy from the Oak Town. This is a beat, you can touch homeboy from the Oak Town. This is a beach. You can touch. That's good, G.L. That's good.

That's good. How about that, Ed? All right, that's very good. That is really good. I know a lot of people who can't keep up with their track. You did very good. Absolutely. You see I've been a scene at before.

And you did it great. Stop. Hammer time. She was just happy to do whatever we asked her for the show. And would talk to anyone, including flirting with vanilla Ross. I love you to sing for me. Oh, really?

I don't care if I have a bad luck. I need a woman that's sexy, straight up and erotic. And if you ask me, I like grandmoles, honey. You watch me swing while you dance in your G-string. vanilla. No, mercy. Don't laugh about that. Don't encourage me.

I've got a guy, Monti G3. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh you've ever had? The worst injury I've ever had, I've ever had with Paul Hammer. What were the four hammer? What did that do to you, mate? I didn't do much at all, really. I was just talking in between. Oh, look out. We're very low in insulting my great-grandma. All right.

You're making a powerful enemy. There was absolutely no doubt that Moussi loved the line once, and we loved her loving it on the show. Now, Lucy, you've started to get asked for autographs in the street. You're more famous than Andy and I. I mean, Elma, how do you deal with being famous, King? Could you give Lucy a few tips?

Just be humble. Ah, go for broke-over. Her grand-moutherly advice wasn't just restricted to him on the show either. My girlfriend's birthday's coming up, thinking of getting her a necklace, right? There's two nice ones, one's like three times the price of the first one, and she probably won't notice, which one should I go for? I can tell you here in our mates, she will notice. If you guys can hear me out, please stick it on the back. LAUGHTER She really was in her element just having a chat with guests,

and none more so than when she loved the guest. A reckon a crowning moment was when we surprised her with Doris Roberts, who is the actress that played the grand mar on everybody loves Raymond, Lucy's all-time favorite show. Doris was going to cab on her way to the airport about to leave Australia. Lucy was at the trots, and she had other ideas about Doris leaving the country. I'm just so sorry that they took Raymond off. I had to be one of the greatest fans, and I just loved you.

I thought you were just everybody's favorite grandma. How terrific. Thank you for that. Well, I think it's not a good idea if I turned up in America. We're in Red Doris' seat. OK. What do you think about that for a good idea? I think it's a great idea.

Come to Los Angeles, and then I will get to see each other. Is it a big, expensive place, Doris? Because I need some weight cheap. You can find inexpensive places there. Because I need all my money for the right strength. Absolutely. And I try to try things better than Gallop. I do you?

You better check when it's playing because I'm not sure. Oh, find out. Okay. It's your job. It's your home to find out, basically. Okay, well, I mean, Dis, you've been given your homework. If you can just check out Los Angeles Harnes Racing Schedule and get back in touch with Lucy Moose, we'll let you get back to the trot and Doris.

I want to go back to the trot. I want to talk to my brother, she's ready. She's out of time, unfortunately Moose got a coat of the news. No, I'm not busy. Thank you, Lucy. We'll catch up with you soon. No, I'm not kidding. Thank you, Lucy. We'll catch up with you soon. No, I'm not kidding. We don't have a choice.

We've got us just got to play into catch. We've got to go to the news. What a bore. Thank you so much for calling it a thing. Wonderful, thank you. Lovely, thank you. I wish they'd done this before. So I could have taken you to the rac Lovely to see you. Alright, don't waste your time. I missed before, so I could have taken you to the racetrack with me. Yes, all of that.

All of that, all of that fun. Why didn't you do this before? Why didn't you do it before? You were going home. I mean, we don't have access to a lot of the time, Lucy. So, like we were rejecting it anyway, Doris, we're holding you up. You can't you play, Lucy, you and I will talk off here. Thank you for both being on the show.

OK. Thank you, Doris. OK, OK. I'm glad you're here. Thank you for both being on the show. Okay, thank you Doris. I'm sorry you're leaving Australia, we need you here. I'm off the bank. Okay, thanks Doris. I don't know if you've got on, but Lucy isn't been an idea leaving, but we know you have to go, so thank you. Okay, bye. Bye Doris.

You can hear Doris kind of thinks she's joking here, but I know Lucy isn't. We don't have to rely on you,.A.R. but you agree. Okay, there you go. Coffee with a dash off. We're hanging up, we're hanging up. I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. Bye guys, you're with Aamish and Aamish.

Bye Doros. Bye bye. But I actually think one of my favourite memories was a voice male most left me one day. It describes her joy at her newfound celebrity status combined with her joy at one of her other dear loves, getting a good deal. Me, she is your Lucy! There's an incredible thing just happened. I had some photographs of you developed today from Christmas and then I bought a new pair of shoes and I took them to the shoe maker to have it stretched a little bit on the right foot because it was too tight.

And he saw the first graph of you and he said, where did you get that photograph of Heimish and Dom laughed and he said, he's our brain stop. And the shoemaker looked at me and he said, you're my good movie! Anyway, you've been getting charged with $11 for stretch resues, which you've been me out of Docketball, and then he said, oh, I can't do that. So, he scratches all that and he gets with my compliments. How could I do that to me? I couldn't. So, I've been in the dressing room and you've turned out to be an actor, not a liability. Call me back if you get a chance.

Bye now. I would love to call you back, Mace. But instead, on behalf of the listeners, we just say thank you for letting us share in your spirit and giving it to the show. next week catch up or contribute at hamishanandie.com
