A list nap production. Activate your internet. Cause the Hamish and the podcast starts in three, two. Sorry, still buffering. One. A hooy ham. Ohoy, Jacko. Ohoy.

And a hoi to ground from America. Oh, sorry, Hame usually jumps in. Yeah, I know, but I'm not running. I mean, we'll be in the email, came in during the week that said, Hame was so talked about the hand break back in the day. Oh, this is good to it. That's it.

The hand break of the hand break. I love hearing from our international podcast. This is the handbrake for them. He's knowing this man an hour uploading the file. So the least we can do is get to it. Grant from America. A Hoi Boys. And Happy Birthday, Andy.

This is Grant from the U.S. I just finished driving from Alaska to New York City and I loved having your guys' podcast. Keep me company all along the way. And I have to say, Jack, you should really consider Heymish's deal. So with the money I just spent on petrol, I could use this drum stool for about 357 years. Wow. Wow.

Office still out there, Jack. Can I say is Grant professionally recorded? I know. That one here was taking a very long time to attach that task. Probably about a four terabyte for a while. Like, he was his voice. four terabyte file. I think it was his voice. The audio is unbelievable. I know.

Would you drive past Skywalker Ranch and record it? With your incredible THX sound? It was pretty impressive. Was the best thing we've ever had on the podcast. Audio-wise. Yeah. And we've had quite a lot of songs on it. Yeah, the quality was exceptional.

And I tell you what, the voice was exceptional. If we needed an American voice over artist, yeah, great. That's a good idea. Jack, I mean, the offer is there for the stool. Well, you actually, I don't know if you remember, but I'm afraid did the IKEA challenge you said that I could, you'll give me the drumstick?

That was a crazy day. Yeah, yeah. So Grand Posse was up to that bit yet. That was a crazy day. Yeah. We were just saying heaps of stuff. We didn't care about that. I mean, we go away 16 coins.

I mean, there was something in the air. It was crazy, it was warm in there. There was something in the air. Do we strike that from the right time? Well, that's a tough one. I never played the drum kit by the way. It's just packed into the corner. It's doing what it did at your house, at my house.

Oh my gosh, that's not what I wanted. Oh, that has been, I was, that was a great gift. What it is your house at my house. Oh my gosh. That's not what I want. That has been I was that was a generous gift that I was renting you that drum kit as a gift. Not to use the space in your house to store it into the space of mine. I will bring I'm going to bring the store in for you next week. He doesn't want to leave our city more. There is one more thing in my house that's taking up some space. No, on the house Jack on the on the house, couple of minutes are we still coming all the way. Hey, under something slightly more pressing, but still in an international flavour. Oh yeah.

I am about to go this week with guys at Best, that's the update, I want to give everyone. I'm about to head to Spain, Spain in France, a bit of a boys trip, we're going cycling, bike riding through the mountains. Now at the end of the trip, there's a day or two in a beef schedule just to unpack on, you know, unwind, you don't want to come down, we'll wound up wags. Exactly. Yep. And so that's sort of a medical, but we will have time amongst leg unwinding, I thought you got a James Bluntz house for a pool party.

Yes. Because he famously has a house in a beafer. It's his residence. He lives there. I'm sure he'd have a pool. Got a pool. You definitely got a pool if you live in a beafer. He's done very well.

I spent the week researching him. So he's made some coin. I mean, I'm not going to disclose all his financials here. There's some pretty high level guesses online. He has a bar at his house. There you go. Now they're back called Blunties. That'd be nice.

Love to go to the bar. I mean, all this stuff I would love. The tricky bit is getting on to him to make him invite us. Well, hold him to his word. Hold him to his word, because if you didn't hear last week, when we had him on the show a couple years ago, after he performed with the loggies, he said this. Congratulations on your performance at loggies.

I'm about to put it up for a full. Thank you so much. And good luck with the crowd surfing've been able to vote for a vote for a vote. Thank you so much. And good luck with the crowd surfing. I hadn't to visit me any time in a beaver. Thank you very much, buddy. Thank you, Tim. So we really appreciate it.

So much, mate. Yeah, so, I mean, why would he have said it? Well, he didn't mean any time in a beaver. It's what he said, if he didn't mean it. Now, we know he's a great host, we know he's a lovely guy. We're just struggling to get him to follow through on that promise. Yeah. We talked last week about Guy Sebastian being a link to him. He would have done X-Factor with Guy Sebastian back in the day.

The plan was, here's where we're up to in the plan. The plan was to get Guy Sebastian on. We were going, we made the decision to lie to Guy, which is a difficult decision to make, but in light of the circumstances, the plan was to have Guy up today on the show, play in the audio and light him and go, this is what James said and not tell him that for keenery is, they might have been under tech that was me doing a bit of the voice, not tell Guy that. And if it passed the guy test, we had to light a guy to keep him in the dark. Yes. And then we thought, if we get away, that guy goes, oh jeez, if he said that, sure, yeah, he's email, he's number. Because they did X-factor together. If we get away with the guy like, we go along and try and get blunt on the phone and

try and secure you in. And how do you get in there? And trick blunt into thinking, I must have made that generous off-road and I don't want to be seen to rescind on it. Yes. I through the, I forgot to contact Guy straight away. But then two days ago, I see when I reminded you. He's there, by the way, get Guy from the podcast,

yeah, yep, good, I'm on it. I threw the hook in out to Guy, and I thought it was quite gentle. I said, look, mate, would you be up to going on the podcast? Just, we just wanna have a chat with you, Man Andy, sorry for the message of the blue, cause I've never messaged him before. Just wanna have a quick chat to you.

Nothing crazy. Want to get your vibe on, I'm hoping to catch up with James Blunt in a beater. Ross, you mentioned Blunt. I did, yeah. And just wanted to ask you a quick question. Two days have passed. Oh no. The guy is dry.

We know he's seen it. I've got two options here. How. We know he's seen it. I got two options here. How do we know he's seen it? Is he got read receipts and he's seen it? Yeah, I've read receipts, but I mean, two days. I mean, two hours people, no one's off their phones. Did it say delivered? Yeah, it's blue. It went blue.

No one's off their phones. In this day and age. No, it's off their phones. Well, you tell me all the time that you didn't have your phone on you when you haven't got back to me. Yeah, but I go to bed. I live against tears. OK.

But I mean, two days. Yeah, I mean, I don't take it in the bedroom, but that's two days you can get back to sleep. Yeah, yeah, the long sleep. Long sleep. So guys, I have a hybrid rating for the winter. To come out in all guns, like spring carnival. Spring carnival.

For spring racing, and for the singer, National Anthem, and that might be what he's doing. I might, with a new hat, probably. Yeah, and I'll feel horrible if he's in a cocoon at the moment, replenishing his reserves to come out to sing the National Anthem at Melbourne Cup or something. Even the off-chancey has seen it

and he's choosing not to participate. Yeah. I am faced with two options here and is ever increasingly difficult forced James Blunt into remembering something he didn't do to get invited to his house for a pool party plan. Either text guy now and I go, I just got a call from a misnumber was that you? I was going to call from a block number. Just miss a call from block number. Was that you? Did you want to come on and chat about this thing? Yeah, that's good.

That pushes it for now. We now we know we've forced him on to force him to listen to Force James Blime to admit to something he didn't do. So that gets difficult. Or do we call Guy, which will probably go through the voicemail? I mean, if it doesn't, we get to speak to him anyway. Yep.

We call Guy now. It's going to be an unknown number. If it goes through the voicemail, we play to it which I've prepared okay hello guy it's James Blunt here uh just uh been hearing a bit about the Hamish Blake wanting to catch up with me um just want to let you know feel free to give him my number good chap I don't have his but I'd love to see him in Ibiza where I am right now. So please take a look at my phone number and my email. Joy Good, I'll talk to you soon. Bye-bye. Yeah, yeah, that's gonna work.

So I reckon, yeah, let's call it. So we call God. Yeah, yeah. Jack, have you got a key? You actually cut the swishers off that? Yeah, yeah, exactly. That might be a bit of a giveaway. Great, okay, we'll, the swish is removed. And then, just queueing up without the swishes,

handing you guys number now. You all good, Jacko? Got the details? Good luck, everyone. Good luck, everyone. Oh. Ha ha ha ha. BEEP.

Three handlies. Here we go. BEEP. BEEP. Yes, hopefully it's a good voice to text, which we've really been able to. He's habanada. We knew he was a neck cocoon.

Voice detects, we get cut off. No, maybe he doesn't have any voice, but he's kind of have something. He's got a Sebastian. Exactly. Please leave a detailed message after the time. When you have finished recording, you may hang out or press one for more options. Hello guys, it's James Blant here. Just been hearing a bit about the Hamish Blake wanting to catch up with me.

Just want to let you know, feel free to give him my number, good chap. I don't have his, but I'd love to see him in Ibiza, where I am right now. So please text Hamish, my phone number and my email. Joy Good, I'll talk to you soon. Bye bye. You've been here. Go, there we go. Did you make a noise at the end? Oh, if he doesn't text back it's because he made a noise.

Do you have any make a noise still on the business? No, it's a slide like. Oh, that's what's gonna one do this whole thing? We had him over it. We had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, we had to, that with anything else just a dog groan. Um, I'm in a beefer while dogs everywhere. You know how it is I feel a little bit of flame over to Jack. Sure Yeah, I don't know I looked at the phone as if it was time for it to hang up It's a long long long hang up at the end. But I mean, our long, very good.

They've now sunk to medium. I also just realized that Marci made it sound like James what was on her phone, like a phone recording. So we didn't need to do that. He won't know that. He didn't need to be on a phone. Now, the guy hearing through the phone's speakers would just be my double that. Guy won't know that. He didn't need to be on a phone. Now the guy hearing through the phone's beakers would just be like, double phone.

He won't know. Now I think there's a very good chance guys are gonna go, oh, okay. Have you got a text yet? Not yet, probably because he's worried about the noise that you made. I say we're in with a shot. Can we, we're in with a shot now.

At any moment, Guy. Let's, let's, I, you know, the best case scenario is simply a message from Guy Sebastian comes and there's nothing else to it, but James Bond's contact. Let's go to a quick break, but then come back and listen to the noise and just see how much it was thrown.

I think it was bad. I think it was so good. I think it's actually hindered the operation. Let's have a quick break. All right. I think it's actually hindered the operation. Let's have a quick break. Okay, but actually our sound guru has just rolled the audio back in from the call. We haven't heard it yet. We're just going to try and work out what kind of damage I did at the end. But you're feeling like an idiot.

Mate, I've got this all this effort to get an iron clad invite to a pool party at JamesBlanc's house in O'Eafer, and one rogue noise on a voice about a gossip action could have done it. Let's hear the damage. Uh, please text Hamish, my phone number and my email. Joey, good. I'll talk to you soon. Bye-bye.

You've got to be able to... Oh, that was hard of a... Did you make a noise at the end? Oh, he knows the text back. It's because he made a noise. I think you're pretty quick to jump on me. What was so obvious? Guy would have been going on the guy a bit. What was that? Give us a listen to the noise again. It could potentially be a formula one guy.

Sorry, I met the formula one. Sorry, I'll check. It could potentially be a Formula One car. Sorry, I met the Formula One. Sorry, I'll check. That's why I'm calling on a LAN LAN, I'm in the pits. That's why I was in a number. I'm actually calling on Daniel Riccardo's personal phone. And he's got a plot.

I can't give you his number, but I would like you to give. Hey, which man I'm... Should we see when the next one is on? For me one. Yeah, and leave an undue message. So, how'd I get? Jamf Blant again. Sorry for calling it the fourth and one.

That's bad of me. But that's where I heard the rumor, because I ran into Daniel Ricardo, who's got an Australian bed, and he's been hearing things about, yes, that makes sense. If that won't say that. I think, yeah, the Italian

grombi is coming up. I was calling for practice. Yes. I was calling from the Clarence. I think I was calling from the track practice. I can't tell you anymore because it's a secret, secret. I don't think we need the additional call. Well, I think that's probably what I still haven't got a message from Guy Sebastian, and we sent that now minutes ago. Yeah, but you also message him two days ago. He could still be in the cocoon. You could be coming out soon.

I think we'd have leave at a couple of moments. And by the end of the show, we'll see if we, we'll be there coming up. I will go to jump in to a special school next. Yeah, okay, well, stay for like us for that, but I can't promise much. I got a jump into a special skill next. Yeah, okay, well, stay focused for that, but I can't promise much.

What's your first time doing a special skill? I'm a special skill we talked about last week, I believe. Yeah. And where we put two people against each other from Interstate, who we're gonna fly down. The first turns out we're gonna do both. We're gonna do both. Yeah.

First cap off the rank is Oliver. Oliver, coming from Brisbane. His skill was being able to tell without looking at the driver, whether when the indicator is activated in the cone, when the stalk is touched, is it a right turn or is it a left turn? In his words, is it tick tock or a tock tick? We'll first and add a bit of this because it seems to me, I'd always thought it was the same noise. But he claims he can tell. He can tell it's some accuracy. We'd have him blindfolded in the passenger seat of the car.

We did this earlier today, so we're about to bring it to you. He'd be blindfolded, and as soon as I engage the indicator, just through sound, he'd be able to say, yeah, that's left turn, right turn. I think there was 10 turns. And he said he could get ten. Oh, welcome. Thank you very much. Well, to the cool dude, maybe I'll be a little fancier than my 20-year-old Ford Falcon for sure. Okay, well I suppose we should say it's a modern car. It's a modern-formed drive.

Yeah. And the likes it for its speed off the line. It's a modern film drive, and Andy likes it for its speed off the line. I'm just saying, it's a little sweetener from our B to you. Unfortunately, there hasn't been any painful price. Who knows what will happen for the next car. But it does mean we're talking a potentially more high tech indicator. Stalk. Is that nervous about that? mean we're talking a potentially more high tech indicator stalk. Is that nervous about that? It looks a bit more fancy than my one.

Been in Holden's and forwards the past three weeks. It might be a bit of custom to those. Not many of my 21 year old mates own outies, but that's fine. That's all right. Your mates, you know, Andy's done 17 years. He's worked hard. He's treated himself. Is there?

I'm just serious. Of course, I mean Andy's first car was an instant pintar. It was very good for the time. 87th. He then upgraded very quickly. Yeah. Yeah. Now we're in the outie. Let's get down to the,

is there a way that I, you'd like me to click on? No, I think you do you. I was trying to try and try and... Because Hayden was talking to me early, and I was like, he's like, click it on slowly, you know? And I was like, I saw that, my little... I think that would be cheating to go down really slowly.

Yeah, so just normal speed. Yep, take it. I'll just try and go. Would you like any to put pressure on the top of the store can press down for a left-hand turn and pressure on the underneath of the store can press up for right-hand turn? Or is he underneath of the store can press up for right hand turn. Or is he allowed to pinch it with a thumb and fore finger?

I think driving normally, I don't imagine you would normally do the pinch. No, go off the door. I don't. Yeah, I'm just just to hit up and down. Yeah, you drive comfortably and I think I'll do it. I think that's fair. We're going to do 10 turns. 10 turns.

And you said you could get 9. I feel 9, 9 is achievable. We've got a portfolio. Got a blankie for you. Thank you could get nine. I feel nine, nine, achievable. We've got a point for you. We've got a point for you. Thank you. We'll pull out. I will tell you what we're coming to the first turn. Yep.

And I won't indicate until then. Horn? That's the horn, because our other cameraman was meant to be not looking at his phone and seeing where we go. Okay. And he saw Michelle from sales. So with Oliver blindfolded in the front seat and Hain keeping score in the back,

it was time for the challenge to get underway with our cameraman, WebGeezer Jers, following in the car behind. Okay, first click. Ah, that felt left. Sorry, I've got it early, you've got it. You've got it. Okay, left tick.

From one. Game on now. Left. Didn't feel like we turned left. Fortunately, it's now. Okay, it's locked from two and I'm going. I'm just going to get the rest of the eight to eat more. So we come to turn three.

I think we're going left. This is a bit that you must absolutely hate as a player. Yeah, yeah, the way that tick-tock quite literally account down. How is it a tock tick? I'm 40. Oh, I was a tock tick. Tock tick, we've gone right. Well, we were barely a minute into the challenge,

and a coin was already off the cards. Oliver was clearly having an off day, and just when it looked like things couldn't get any worse. I'm a little afraid. So you've been done, boys. Have they... Have our cameraman getting pulled over by the police? Have they left them sort that out.

That's... Do you guys want to help them? What do you mean? What's the code of the sport? We've got a blindfolded man. Yeah, I've got a child. I can't help but I've got a child. Oh, no.

I'll tell you. Just see, you'll notice that the addy didn't get pulled over the top end of town. No, no, no. They'd never worked. They wouldn pulled over the top end of town. I never would. He wouldn't easily. I never would. I would have gone help me out. While Andy was off keeping the team out of jail, Hey Mission Oliver took full advantage of some alone time in the car.

I want you to do well. Um, do you want to, do to try to get some lessons in? Yeah, let's get some up downs in here. Yeah, I can't. Yeah, I'm fine. But I can't handle my dentist. You can still not get out of ten. Okay, if you can pull off eight, that's not a big case.

I can only do eight. I can only do eight. I appreciate that. I can't do it with that. I can't do it with 7. I can't do it with 6. Yeah, I can make a case with it. You got me now. I'm just with the police. You've been rattled.

That's why I think it's feeding the views. That's the end. Yeah. She's coming back right? Yeah. No, I can make a case for it. I can't appreciate it. It'll help I can get.

Oh, good eye, I see you. Tell make a case for it. I appreciate it. It will help I can get. Oh, good idea, Siun. Tell them about the Arty. What about the old Top Ender Town Walks free? LAUGHTER All right, so we'll hear back later as to how that worked out for them. OK, so we'll press on... Well, we just made the sort of small talk. Yeah, then we did go through various things. So we'll continue. How many of the

students have we done? You would be one from three. We got put on a police and as we get pulling over he set left when I clicked it and it was left. So do it. Two from four. I'm so grateful. Let's see how you go now, all. You are a race in my mind. You are now a battle against 50-50 years. Yes. That's the worst case scenario. It's from, let's just, I mean, you can still get out

of 10. Yes. And I'm sure we can discuss that if that happens. Wouldn't laugh at how we'd feel about that. OK. Good luck, everyone. OK, and he's pulled out again. All right.

We are now back in play. While a visit from the cops would rattle most challenges, the situation seemed to have the opposite effect on Oliver. What came next was an avalanche of correct guesses, as Oliver got on an absolute roll getting the next five in a row. Left. Oh!

Oh! Oh, wait! It's seven from nine. If he gets one more, he's eight from 10. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Oh, soft.

He's not in the cat room. Felt left though. We've hit it off. He's got it! He's got it! He's got eight, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he was one from three and then he's got seven in a row. Now I think... Super over. One more. And the side up. If he gets a coin or doesn't get a coin,

I can't. One more for a coin. And he rebline folding. One more for a coin. So he's there to himself for super over. It's not like Aaron did coin. Here we go. There we go.

Here it comes. Right turn. He's got it! He's got it! He's got it! He's got the lever! He's got it! He's got the lever! Woo!

The fam has got me surprised. The fam has got me surprised. What? He just, you know, really just having a chat to me. Crouch is amazing. What? Change. Hey, Mish, just, you know, really just haven't chat to me. Yep. Just go on a look, don't rush. Yeah, I'm down breathe.

Yeah. I feel like you're just sort of, it was twitchy, and that's OK. Yeah. I mean, this is, this is the left-right ashes. Yeah. So you're going to, of course, you think about everything that's been set in the press.

And also, with the event everyone that's listing it, home, your friends. Just refresh off of the fire as well. I mean, you're gonna, of course you think you've had everything that's been said in the press of course you're with me, you've had everyone that's listening at home, your friends, your friends. Yeah, fresh up of the fine as well. I mean you're 21, so what are you, two years, three years away from the five year high school reunion? Yeah. It's of course you think you're about that. What are you going to say?

My brother, it's what I'm saying. When we get, when we were, you know, I'm walking with a coin around my neck. That's it. Or I'm walking with an earring made of a token of no need. You want the coin? Of no. You want the coin. Of course, I want the coin. Ah, amazing.

I mean, amazing. I felt good. It did look good. Thanks, guys. It was awesome. Oh, wowie. OK, I had, I mean, celebration to him, but I hadn't heard the...

This is an interesting one, isn't it? I suppose that's the first time. Yeah, that you coached him mid-skill because I was dealing with the fuzz. It was the 50. It wasn't even really coaching, was it? As a set of the time. Yeah, you said it at the time.

I felt like the police had rattled him so much. He deserved a chance to get back to an aid out of 10 to impress you. I was still impressed. I'm gonna impress you. I was still impressed. I'm going to say this, I'm still impressed. We can't take it away from him. Not going to take away from him, I'm still impressed. I'm glad to hear that.

Didn't realize though that you'd took one of the depths of giving him a listen to both of the sounds of my indicator while I was out dealing with the top. What's now more impressive is his ability, his skill actually became lying as it went on just covering up for the fact that we'd had a rehearsal. Well, I was of two minds of whether I should cut that out of the audio completely. Now I could have gone and told Darcy

who's our audio guide, just may have finished that. Just finished it. I thought we should keep it transparent. I made a call. I jumped in, gave me helping hands, a young boy, new to the sport, he's flown into state two hours, come to us, wearing ugly boots too, so he's in two states away from his home state in ugly boots. And he just, he looked like he needed a friend.

Yeah, I took it on myself, I backed it, I backed it from now on. I'm going to strip him of a coin, because if we have to coin now and go, hey mate, Oliver, he's on the way to the airport probably now, just heard what homestead, I'm stripping you with the coin. We're gonna have a clamp down on the individual coaching from the judges. Oh, he can get it. Oh, he. In the middle of special skills.

That's, I will process that. Ham, it is time for... And... We departed from this from a power moose. A couple of weeks, power moose. Still fighting in, we're still collecting them. We still intend to bring out a copy-tower book, Slated Release Date March next year. Right, that's what I was going to say Christmas next year book, slated release date, March next year.

Right, that's what I was going to say, Christmas next year. Oh, next year, no, you're matched. I think I mean, I asked for Christmas 2020. Olympic year, maybe we should tie down. I think we should kick. Would we bring it out? I'd like to kick off the first, one of the first few shows next year

with a launch of some description. And you know what, I don't think we'll stop collecting them. No, no, they'll be just making... They'll be making them... They'll be making you volume, see? Of course you'll. Oh, right, yeah, that's why I was pushing it back to... No.

...or some sort of Olympics one-down party. No, that's good. Yeah, we should get onto that. Yeah. No, we are onto it. Yeah. Should keep staying on that. And oh, can I actually, before we start,

can I throw a little bit of a public service announcement out there? I don't know why people are throwing this down as a power move, because I don't think it is. Pooing in a shower. Oh, I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I've seen a couple of those coming in where they're like, bit of a power move, like. What, at home?

Yeah. Yeah. No, that's not, that's sort of like, the sound of like you, no one knows you're doing it. Yeah. And I don't wanna see that. I've read the term waffle stomp before you might, I don't wanna read that.

No, okay, yeah. So that's off the table for down moves. They do have to be to someone, you have to gain power over someone. I so want, yeah. Like that's, yeah. Okay. I guess it's kind of a times over Yeah, but I guess they think he's at a fast and loose move. No, I know it's obviously not coming twice

Maybe under power moves under power moves because sometimes hmm like something will be a meme right and it'll go around like the old If someone your on stick your finger in there, man Yeah, yeah, and then we get a lot of them coming in yeah, and I felt like maybe something had happened gone around And it inspired people to write anyway happened with it. Gone around and it had inspired people to write in. Anyway, not writing it. No. Hey, real, I think we've had a version of this, but I'll never get sick of these ones.

This comes in from Calvin. It's a divister made the other day, works now for the treat. Next time, something you know is in a full-blown, know it all rant, telling some big story that paints them in a heroic light, abruptly stop them and say, hold on a second mate and simply reach out and gently brush their cheek or shoulder as if brushing something off them.

This results in a puzzled look and a question of what you did. Finish the move by saying, sorry mate, it's just really hard for me to take you seriously when there's a piece of fluff on you. I love because if someone goes, no, you should take me seriously when there's fluff on me. I can't think of a petting a thing to say. I can't go even if I've got fluff on me. You should really be listening to what I'm saying. It's good, it's classic.

I like it. Hey, this one came in from a mediocre boato who was a true story. He told a story about being a teacher, he said it's a teacher power move. Right. So if you used to do this all the time back when you probably when playing with kids minds was a bit more funny than frowned upon now that people were living a more emotional age. Different times.

Yes. So during a class test as you're walking past each of the students supervising. Stop at one of the students and look at their test paper. Try and pick us the smartest more studious kid. Make it obvious to that student in question that you're looking at their test. When this is the case shout it to the rest of the class everybody please make sure you read the questions carefully. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha It's a goody. If you are in the aisle seat on a plane and someone inside you, so the window, it'll roll, wants to get out to use the toilet. You have to get up as the aisle seat, you're the gatekeeper, you get up and then proceed

to walk to the toilet. And use it for more than a minute. Even if you don't need to go. Again I worry that we may have had this one him already, but I'm going to throw it at you guys and because I've got a sneaking suspicion we don't. We've got variations of the thing. This is from Joseph Hook, a hoi fellas, power move, anyone reverse parking, halt them. You're right. Just stop them.

No matter where you are, proceed to walk behind the, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know. So the person, if you get, if you get them to stop, you've got them. You've got them. Can I, one more quick one? Yeah. This is from Waleed. Cruel power move, he says. Not recommended to be applied to senior management.

So it sounds like he works in sort of a corporate environment here Waleed, and he's enjoyed using this on perhaps someone at his level who he's looking forward to getting the jump on, and he's cutthroat in the business world. When there's a work presentation or seminar being given by a colleague, a rival in the room or the theater,

maybe five to ten minutes before the start time, make sure to make eye contact with the presenter. This will indicate to them that you are keen and you've been looking forward to their presentation, maybe even given the thumbs up, I'm adding that, but you know, you get the vibe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. See, a couple of rows from the front, a distance within comfortable hearing. Once the presenter gets into his or her presentation, pause them and ask them to speak up.

Once he or she starts presenting again, give it a minute or two, then get up and leave the room. They still leave them rattled. They just happen from that point onwards they won't know if they need to speak louder when they're presenting a refaver and makes sense. A refaver makes it back. That's the business world at the moment. That's the environment out there. Oh, what a cheese. And over the past few weeks, maybe a month or two now, you might have noticed coming in dribs and drabs in the emails.

A few people will direct message on Instagram, too, because we haven't mentioned it yet on the show. It's like, you know, shakiness by the shoulders going, you know, we're going to talk about this. Some of us come up that has to do with a part of the world that we have visited before, the steepest street in the world. Bold one street in Dunedin. Have you heard what happened?

Some time ago now, maybe almost, you know, month or two, it got usurped. Oh, there's a steepest street. Steepest street. There is a steepest street. Then steepest street. Hard to say. Now it's a steepest street. Steepest street, there is a steepest street. Then steepest street. It's hard to say. Now it's second steepest. It is Baldwin Street in Dunedin and New Zealand.

And we've been there. Yep, and Jesus. I mean, it's very steep. That's absolutely the first thing you think of when you're on it. We drove a Winnebago, like a camper van, Apert, and got to a point where it felt like it was going to tip back on it side. Yeah.

On its head like a turtle. Not often you go just drop over the, I mean, on top of its shell and we'll be going, well, we can't reverse this now and we'd have to live there forever. We were almost going to have to do a wheelie up the street. We wanted to weld bars onto the back of the van like a roll bar, but to the back of the van. So it has caused... Where's the steepest street?

Wales. But deliberately built a steepest street, or was it always there? I think it was. It was the Guinness World Records. So they went, it's called Fjord Penleck in the coastal wealth town of Harleck. It has the world's seabed street.

Now, that's Shots Fide, especially to Deneden and the beautiful people I've done Edan. It's one of the keys, one of the best. Well, there's a lot of great stuff in Deneden but we were so proud to go up it. We got a certificate. Yeah. It's just a must do.

And it still is, Bourbon Street. It hasn't lost any of its steepness but you lose the title now of going off climbing the steepest. It would be like finding a mountain tall than Everest. Like, okay, well, I still know I climbed Everest. Big whoop. There's a big whoop. Small whoop.

Yeah, yeah, really small whoop. So what I love about this is then I've been alluded to another development. This did happen some time ago. I'm now, it's news to me, but this article is actually from the 15th of August. Donedon, I'm not taking it lying down. The, Donedon Savaya has dispatched himself to Wales. Okay, okay. I will measure this for myself. I don't believe, I don't believe you. So the Denietan branch manager and surveyor, Toby Stoff has surveyed Baldwin Street. He's got the thing out there you see on the tripod that no one knows what they're doing with those little lipases, but they go and say do. They do.

They do. They know. So he's done that. He went off to do the same to the 1,000 year old thing. So he's done that and he's, he went off to do the same to the thousand year old thing. So he, we await, do we await his findings or do we have him here? He believes he does it, I think he's questioning Guinness because he's, he's, he's measures it

from something called the center line and he's, he wonders if they've measured it from the center line. Oh wow. Um, he says he's got the support of the engineering community. And in according to this article, and this is old now, it's August 15th, he wants to go later this year to Wales. So hopefully someone can give us an update on this. There's a most...

You know what, who we should be calling? Brett McKenzie. Yeah. He's an eye on New Zealand. He's an eye on New Zealand. He's an eye on New Zealand. We go Brett next week and just see what the mood's like. We should.

In the surveyor here, he says, I don't want to discover and say this is bullshit. He doesn't want to do that. He goes, that just looks like a gripe and a grudge. That'll get us nowhere. He says so he knows that he's not just going to go and push people around. But he wants to compile a story of the two roads. Yes. Okay. Before surveying the Welsh one.

Yep. So he's trying to do this fairly. And he must, he must have not appeared to be interested in changing its rules, he said. So he's like, well, I'm a surveyor. I've got the support of the surveying community. No offense, Guinness, but a thinking measure. It's wrong. So now he is a man.

Love it. Fighting. Fighting against a small technicality, but in a very important one, if you live in Dunedin or have ever been there like we have, in the meantime, unfortunately Dunedin has been asked, the city council has been asked to remove a sign for the Claiming Board, wouldn't street as the world's steepest while it's being reviewed.

Wow. So we find ourselves in a real, if you're a street surveyor, real fascinating time to be alive. Yes. Well, there is a tussle going on on the planet between Wales and Dunedin. Yep. I hope we can, let's bring everyone up to it next week.

I wanted to bring it to light. Hopefully we get a bit of feedback from our listeners, people in Dunedin, people in the surveying community. And then next week, maybe we can even chat to him. He might have been dispatched by now. Yes, Sarah. Get us, yep, she's got thumbs up.

So history tells us that you will not hear the obviously no sealant surveyor on no worries. No worries. Getting him on the show next week. That's it. Say, Jim, and then bring you a paragraph for the police. Hamed around things out today, obviously we have got a black tie chicken festival night slash night market to get the whole lot of chickens chicken one off chicken shop award for excellence We'll be handed out and to celebrate the event to celebrate the first time to our knowledge that one off chicken shops have been recognized at a national scale. Yeah, we wanted to hold a black tie event that also a festival. Yeah, black tie festival.

We wanted to hold a black tie event, but also a festival. Yeah. Black tie festival. We're the 10 leading one-off chicken shop stores of Australia. Yeah, we're flowing in. The finalists will come. Now give us a sample of their great stuff. A sample of their wheres.

Pop up store type atmosphere. Maybe you're a gravy bandit. Maybe you're a cheeky chip. Nibblac. Yep. Maybe you are a traditional just breast meat. Only person. Yeah. Maybe you're a traditional, just, breast meat, only person. Yep. Maybe you're a stuffing smuggler.

Okay. Why they all bandets and smugglers and songs? Why's the hamburger? Or hamburger? It's a fun way to talk about food. One thing that was glaringly obvious to us is that we haven't actually checked whether any of these one-off chicken stores would want to come. We need to fly into state. That's true. We need to talk to a representative of the industry.

Their family run businesses and they probably would have to shut up their own shop and go down. And this is difficult because the more that the nominations flood in, the more we realize. Customers are passionate. So many stores, though, actually get hollered at a couple that have come in the trait that the customers love is, the quality, the customers love is, the quality, the customer service is terrible. Yep, they often go, you know, there's a lot of stores where they're like,

they don't even talk to you. They grunt, they throw the chicken at you, but the place is packed. That's how good the chicken is because people aren't coming for the customer service. So, I don't know, we understand we've got a tough task on our hands here wrangling these chicken shops together because there is no governing body.

And we want the black tie chicken fest-night market to have the best of the best shops jacket. We don't want the best of the people wanting to come. It's not like who's sexiest celebrities or who's most people's people. Who's sexiest people available that day was something to promote. Exactly. Yeah. Thank you, though, for thinking of us that year. You're on a roll. So, Hayne, we thought we'd call a store that inspired this. Well, it was actually us getting a hair, my son's haircut. Nearby we were running light. We asked local, we said to Sean, his local hairdresser said, mate, it was good to eat

around here. Where do you go for lunch? You go, oh, Smoky Chucks. Smoky Chucks. Down the road. You said their chips are in sign. Their fries are in sign. The chicken's very good. Chips are in sign. So let's call Smoky Chucks. Smoky Chucks. Down the road. You said their chips are insane. Yeah, their fries are insane. The chicken's very good.

Chips are insane. So let's call Smoky Chucks. And as we were at Smoky Chucks, I went, yeah, he's right. These are insane. Nothing exists to recognize this. Now, I'm not saying Smoky Chucks will make the final 10. No, I've been said this,

but that is one of our local shops. Let's call the owner. And they're exactly what we're talking about. And I don't know the owner's name, but he was a nice guy. Let's call him and. And they're exactly what we're talking about. And I don't know the owner's name, but he was a nice guy. Let's call him and see whether, like, just co-calling, would they be prepared to travel into state like, let's get inside the mind of a chicken chowdiner.

Yeah, absolutely. It's like you've got everything you've got inside. There's like a graffiti of a chicken encouraging you to eat chicken. There. Great. Good afternoon, Smoky Chokes. Hello. It's Amy Shnandy here. Who's this?

Such an... Such an... Are you the owner? Yes, such an... Quite. First of all, I've eaten at your establishment. I love it. That's good.

That's good to hear. I was actually in there a few weeks ago, such an... And being in your shop gave me an idea and we run a podcast and we're putting together an Australia-wide black tie event like a festival to recognize excellence in the one-off chicken shop categories so no chains no franchises just the just the local businesses like yourself who are the heart and soul of Australia. Does anything exist at the moment to award chicken shops? I don't think so. Yeah, that's the only thing so.

That should be one. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, if you're sporting the local business, you are on the right track. Right, so such an, here's another tricky question we have for you and we, and look, we're still nominating different shops. We can't say that your shop is a final. No, no, no, no, no, that's fine. You have to be fair by another day. Fair enough, fair enough. That's what we love about that. Such an, would you, if someone called you and said you've been recognized as a great chicken shop and we'd like you to do a pop-up version of your store at a night chicken festival night market, black tie event, say in Queensland and they would fly you there.

Is that the kind of thing that you'd say yes to? If it is possibly, yeah, I wouldn't mind it. Great. Well, let's just say these people were willing to fly to Queensland, pay you for your time, and cover all your flights and accommodation. Yeah, that's cool. I'll be happy with that. That's great. And would you be happy to cook chickens in Queensland using the same...

Mine, that's what I love to do, cook chickens. That's great. And how would you feel if they said we're going to have to supply the chicken up there but it's very good quality free range organic no hormones, the best quality chicken they'll give it to you in Queensland you can't take your own chickens. No no no no it will be too much. I want chickens from here that will be nightmare. That is a nightmare scenario. What about this and then if you send them okay for the chips side of things.

If you just gave a list of ingredients, you know, whether it's potatoes or a specific brand of chips And then what you need for your seasoning I'll just take my seasoning with me because that won't be an issue flying it from Melbourne to Queensland Yeah, I can take my seasoning. Yep, that won't be an issue. It sounds like this This is your first We have to say your, because you've said yes to everything we were wondering about No, no, no, no, I'm sure I'll take the box, I don't worry. The great news session is we're going to do the event in Melbourne. We were just testing, if we asked people in Queensland if they would fly to Victoria, to see if

that, if the chicken chabona is, if this would be the kind of thing they'll be interested in doing. Is there anything else, say we have a festival and there's like 10 areas with the charcoal grill and like a deep fryer for the chips, times 10. Is there anything else we're missing that you would want there as a traveling chicken artist to produce your magic? No, nothing, you're not missing anything. Oh, great.

Such a, you're fantastic. I'm gonna come past and eat this week. At your place, given in spiders, and you're fantastic. I'm going to come past and eat this week at your place. You've been in spiders and the chips are amazing. Thanks very much for coming on the podcast. My run's saying. No problem. It's always a pleasure.

You're a great man. Is the chips. The thing I love about the chips is they're a bit of rosemary. There's obviously garlic, salt. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, And don't ask me the ingredients. Yes. The last food ingredients. Hey, hey. And that is what I was after. No, no, no, no. You cannot say it with smart, but I'm not going to tell you the ingredients. I'll just cook the chips for you and I'll season them for you. Yeah, good day.

Thanks, sir. It's good. It's easy done. See you, bye, pal. Thanks, Fiko. Bye. Love you. Bye, bye.

I'm going to thank you for chips. I'm going to thank you for chips. Thanks for listening. The Hamish Nandy podcast will return next week. I'm not thinking of the chips.
