A list-nuff production. Activate your internet. Cause the Hamish and the podcast starts in three, two. Sorry, still buffering. One. A hoi-timi-dorpa, Hamish. I do a pa-timi dorpah, hamish. A dorpah to you, sir.

And a hoi-timi valet black nose. M-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- We... What are you? Oh, here we go. Marina. Oh, a sheep. You up? We are sheep. Okay. A grapefruit, a South African breeder sheep. The Valle, a dragon. A dragon. Valle, a black nose.

A German breeder sheep. And Marina is the Spanish breeder sheep. And obviously Marina, the only one we'd heard of, being the most coveted and finest of all the world. But you can't tell which way they're gonna fall, and that's just the titles you get given. Not picking too many Valle Blacknose jumpers off the shelf. Oh, well, I love those socks. Yeah, Valle Blacknose.

Jacko. Oh, yes, also, to Glenn from the UK, who used the very easy-to-use system of the hamishney.com to upload what he's been up to. Ahoj boys, this is Glenn from the UK, member of the IPQW, the internet podcast quality watchdog. Just wanted to drop you guys a quick note, just to say that we're glad that you're back from the government mandate to break. But we did want to raise two areas of concern since you've come back. First one is the levels of gusto seem to be a bit down at the moment. The metric show Jack has the most gusto out of three of you. Hey, wish n' Andy, I'm not sure if you're just a little

bit rusty since the break, but we look forward to getting back to your original levels. Secondly, there also seems to be a lot of fishing content that seems to be prepped into the podcast. We would recommend that you keep it to a minimum for the rest of the year, just to bump that quality up a little bit more. But lastly, we also just wanted to end on a positive note and say, episode 26 was a brilliant return to form.

And we look forward to seeing more of that through to the end of the year. Thanks guys. All noted, some disputed, but all noted. really return to form and we look forward to seeing more of that through to the end of the year. Thanks guys. All noted, some disputed, but all noted. All noted. I do not think we are rusty, gusty, if anything, for gusto and farting is often gets suspected on the show.

But no, 206 all the way, I totally agree with that. And that goes for listeners too. Listen to it the way you would listen to a 206 and us do it the way you do a 206. Good news for you, Jack. It does a nice bounce. Yeah, well, I mean the stats don't lie, I guess. Well, it's not the stats. No, it's not the stats. No, it's not. It had an acronym.

Hey, you said you wanted the top of the show. I think this is 206 quality. This will please, please please people looking for gusto. For a long time, we've talked about the health star system on Australian food, where we've got international listeners, but on Australian food years ago just popped up. Some foods were three stars, some were five, some are four.

Start it off with a quiz back in the day. Who does the stars? We couldn't, we didn't know. And sometimes in products, they don't have any. They choose not to place. It's not a law. You don't have to have the stars. Where do they come from? Why do you have them? Why would you have a low one? Questions swirled. Inconsistencies then began springing up everywhere in there. We, you know, famously, this Ultana brand incident with exactly the same packaging, just different supermarkets, ones of four, ones of three and a half.

And more recently, the same packaging had two and a half stars on the lid and three stars on the body of the package. So the health rating stars, they're all over the shop, they don't know themselves. And we couldn't decode it, we couldn't figure out the algorithms, I'm trying to guess the Facebook algorithm. Yeah, we have theories, we don't have any sort of solid, anything solid to go on.

And I think it was like, the sorry to throw another in, but I think it was like the TV series lost. They started out, not knowing how they're going to finish it. They thought it was a feature. And so it was exciting for everyone. And as consumers, we were hoping, oh, this is going to be a great reveal when we find out what the health star means. Yeah, we never got our antenna. Exactly. It'll all

come together at the end. So far, nothing. Then we heard whispers a couple of months ago, someone's saying, Hey, you know, I know you guys are trying to figure this out. I work within the bals of the system. Something's coming out soon, but we'll answer everything. They do the whole, yeah, yeah, we know this confusion, but guess, just you wait. Just wait until you see what comes out. Finally, I came across that ando. Oh, down. Yeah, it was not, I thought it was going to be a price conference, where they did a bit of a gotcha, but it wasn't. It was, it's an ad with a whole bunch of animated foods, um, and for a leaf that aren't ad. Mingling

and interacting with each other. In an attempt, I think, to make us go, oh, okay, so I think they know, okay, people are confused by this. Let's create some adorable food characters. Yes. Like, Dancin's through the supermarket, kind of arm and arm, explaining the way the system works. Because for a long time, you know, the classic one for us was like, well, why is, why is bubble gum flavored milk for? For health, health, the health, the sour cream's over here at 0.5. Not seeing it, sour cream all day, but I don't understand the system, you know, and you're giving the illusion a high, high stars gives the illusion of health. That's what we've always worked on.

Does the ad explain it? Let's play the ad. It's only 30 seconds long, so if you're indulges, let's see, you don't need to know the pictures. But just for us how we can visualise it, we're just imagining a banana and a package chip's dancing. The health star rating lets you compare similar packaged food to make healthier choices. By comparing one product with another,

the stars on the front of each show which is the healthier option. Always compare the stars on foods that are similar, not different. These ratings are applied using a strict calculation. When buying fresh and packaged foods, remember the more stars, the healthier. Visit healthstarrating.gov.au, authorised by the Australian Government camera. So that answers the government. So hang on. That answers one of the hugeest questions. So just to re-clarify that, they're saying only compare foods that are similar. We had heard this rumor, we didn't believe it. Remember, so they're saying only compare foods in the same category,

packaged foods that you think are similar, and it will tell you which is the healthy err or the healthiest. Healthy err is option. When comparing, so if you're the healthiest chocolate, you can get five stars, not to be confused with being healthy. That's not a bad system. I can't believe it. It's like a halfway point. Saying this in the ad. Who's the tallest person in the room, but only go with kids under seven for this bit?

Yeah. Hey guys, I just won the award for being the tallest person. Wow, you must be really tall. I'm three foot five. Now I'm confused. Yes, sorry, tall is person when compared to other people in the room. Oh, you didn't say that. You gave the impression you're the tallest in the world. I see what you mean. No, I'm not the tallest in the world. You were meant to guess you can only compare me to other people.

And we don't, they don't go, it'll be clear, like there's sections of the supermarket within which we're all playing. It's left up to you to decide what's similar. So if you have a pack of chips, do you go, hmm, are you playing in the same sport as biscuits? Or are you guys a different event? So it's five stars in the chips, better than five in the biscuits,

or is it could a three star biscuit beat a five star chip? So is there a sour, because we've noted sour cream at half a star. Yep. Yep. Is that mean that there's another sour cream in there at five stars or are they in a tough category? Are they? Yeah, they would go to the stuff and they've left it. They don't say what the categories are. They just go you could just go well what are the categories? All cold food? Because that's how I think of it when I shop on the shelf. All I all want.

It's left up to you to try and guess what the categories are. So I looked at this and went, all right. We understand, you know, if you work at the health startup apartment, it's probably just an absolute nightmare of red tape trying to keep everybody happy. I have made a sim, I've redone the ad start apartment. It's probably just an absolute nightmare of red tape trying to keep everybody happy. I have made a sim of redone the ad for them and I think it probably explains it a bit better and it's probably a bit more honest. Okay, you want to hear it? Yeah. The health start rating is designed to assist you in making healthy choices, but sometimes it's also a little bit of a prank. It's up to you to decide which.

We've made it, so it's not about absolute health, but that you have to compare foods that you think are in similar categories, but the stars remain as valuable across all foods. So four stars for bubblegum flavored milk is not the same as four stars for frozen chips, and that's totally different than the 4 stars we use for dairy. So even though in the real world, 4 equals 4, in our world, 4 does not equal the same 4. It's pretty funny! Then sometimes, you'll have something like yoga, where the pot set is 4.5 stars, but a hint of vanilla bean on the same brand since the rating crashing to 2.5. Yikes!

So then you think, okay, maybe I'll just have Greek then. That's meant to be the healthiest of all the yoghats. But oh, what's this? The Greek yoghurt and the lineup chooses not to play. Yeah, we forgot to tell you. Sometimes some products just choose not to play. To keep you guessing. Gotcha!

Then of course, there are instances of the exact same product having different stars. Those are sort of our favorites. Where are we gonna stop? We know. We're having fun. We really hope you are too. So keep playing and good luck. Just like the real stars of the Cosmos,

the health stars contain many mysteries mankind may never know. Maybe it's better that way. Good night. LAUGHTER Works for me. That is more accurate. Never know. Maybe it's better that way. Good night. Works for me. That is more accurate. Like, it is, I don't think that they've really cleared it up with the ad and...

I think they were, I think they revealed what I wrote off as ridiculous. I was like, no, no, no, it can't be just in the same category. Too many flaws. Nope. They led with it. That's like the feature. Hey, I'm KCAPDAI please. I mean, we've seen it on your Insta. It was a phenomenal app. Amazing. We got it.

We got an amazing app. The cube cube and shout out to... I had a lot of help on the cube from 3D printing experts, my brother and law. I help on the cube from 3D printing experts my brother-in-law. Me as well shout out to me like the whole team that got that 3D cube together. But yeah, the Rubik's cube cake for my son this week was has been completed. We look fantastic. Go to Haynes Instagram just check it out, but Haynes, how was it received? That's the reception that I was put up. The, it always worth it when, so the point of this cake, for those unaware,

instant set, it was a number nine, that's pretty simple, number nine out of cake, coming out of the circle of a nine, was a bit of 20 mil wooden dowel, that was wedged and glued into some 20mm MDF chipboard bloody solid And then mounted on that was a Rubik's cube a giant Rubik's cubes about 24 centimeters per side There is them giving it dimensions as I know them very intimately now Last time we'll just talk about it like as big as a head or something

or something. So again, 240 by 245 240 is the cube. And the idea of that 3D printed internals on the plastic cube was then I built the cake into that, which is like 28 little cubelets. You then wrote, then it could rotate around. So then it could be solved like a Rubik's cube. Now in my head, it's seen very easy. Before doing the cake, I was just saying I was like, well you had a good frame didn't you? Got the frame. This is all just squares. This is just squares. I mean, this might be too easy. Yes. This cake because it's just square assembly. Just cubes and squares, baby. The thing that I didn't realize is just it just really took a while and of course you hit snags. You know what I actually think?

And this I'm not trying to put myself on the same level here. But when like I look at I look at so many snags that I hit making the cake, like the things that I'm falling apart to and the more I had to go outside and into the cold night air to try and resolidify the cake and had to cake it outside on the deck with the possums pissing on me. And you just these are the things you don't expect to happen, you know what I mean? Like, you know, and then you're like, oh, actually, this black icing is just getting everywhere and then that's getting on all the other little icing cubes. The thing the kids go through my mind when I'm just trying to make a Rubik's Cube birthday cake

is I go, how? There's Literally, how does anything complicated get made? Because this isn't really that complicated. I was thinking about SpaceX a lot. And I was like, those guys, because that's at the other end of the scale. I'm not saying man's SpaceX are doing the same thing. But I'm sorry. They've had to hit outside because the rocket was hitting

the bottom. The rocket was melting. It worked. You just, when you're boldly going into unknowable made a cube cake before. Yeah, and we'd be going to the other day. Maybe a bandicoot. But they go up, hey, that's the thing. That's the thing. Space thick doesn't get it right. And you did.

Your words, Jack. Now that is a great teacher. Space thick blow. No, Space thick doesn't get it right and you did jack post to me. How was it received? First question we always ask, how much of the cube was eaten? All the corner pieces were carved off. Now they are heavy in sugar.

Their kids went absolutely mental. And were they enjoyed? They were enjoyed. They were really the kids that once they were, they could solve and eat the cake. But I mean, the highlight of the birthday was, you know, we're at like a kid's birthday venue, room packed full of nine-year-olds, just chanting, solve the cake. Yeah. Solve the cake. And how many twists were required to solve it? I scrambled it up so there's only a few twists required, because they didn't want to scramble

it so much that it was unsolvable. Yes, because the only sitting there for a couple of days is the key. It's any slowly What do you mean by a boy to their check? What do you mean a call room the cakes melting? So but that's the thing unfair though because the cakes on a pole that pole came up into the center bottom piece Center white piece so normally when you solve a cube, you can twist it around your hand. So it's hard to do when it's like locked into position. And that's getting too deep into the weeds

on cubing tactics, but that's why I thought I'd make it a bit of an easy-assolve. Anyway, solve the cube, huge cheer, or the house down, then all the kids wanted to tear the cube apart, and that's what it was there for. That's when you're like, this has all been worth it, right? One thing I did love though,

this is, I feel like I've got to give a little shout out here. I would like to give a shout out to the listeners of the Hamish and Andy podcast, because as we, we, you and last three all know how much we love our listeners. There was a great moment on Instagram, right? Where I, the day before I had put up the, like a little video, like a real going,

okay, here's what we're going to try to do tomorrow night. Yeah. In the comments, right? So I mean, I'm explaining like there was a picture of the cake and it was quite elaborate. In the comments, there's just a bloke that's like, oh, mate, what's wrong with going to bloody woolies, getting a sponge and just shacking a handful of molteas on it, okay? All right, so you're trying to do a bit of like, this is too fancy. Yeah.

First comment comes up going, and he's spelled malt teasers with an A. Yeah. First comment comes up and goes, what's malt teasers? And the next comment goes, okay, malt teasers, never heard of it. The guy comes and goes, what are you talking about? They have those chocolate and crunchy balls. You can get them from soup markets.

You can get them from the movies. Everyone's like, what? Maltese's is that like, they're so ridiculous. And this goes on and on and on. And then someone comes in and puts this guy in. And he's like, he's like, how have you guys not heard of Maltese's? He's like, what comes in there like, hang on, do you mean malt-hesus?

And they're like, yeah, malt-hesus is like, oh, malt-hesus, you mean malt-hesus? There's no way in malt-hesus. And he goes, oh, Jesus, great, all right. Grammar police are here. Grammar police. This is so good. This is when good. This is 20 comments deep.

This poor bloke, having no idea what's going on. MUSIC Hey, they keep coming through thick and fast, and I'm sure a lot of people only listen to this podcast in an effort to gain superiority in social situations. I'm a lot more listening and following the rules of powerboos. I like to point out how before we jump in, that we're discerning when we pick out the ones we read because some of them simply aren't powerboos.

And I'll give you an example just so people can compare what is white and what isn't one. I'll give you one that isn't. It's came in from Jackson. Got a power move for you. When driving any row with a passenger you don't like, mention it you've seen a crash happen here and then proceed to crash your car. No, no, no, no.

Some are just strange. And some are just being aggressive. No. Some are, yeah, some are just strange. And some are just being aggressive. Yes. Like, you know, if you're lining up for ice cream, push everyone else over. Exactly. That way you're the only person in the line standing. Not a power move.

Not a power move. This one is though, from Amy, an administrative-based power move. Only works if you're in a family. That's okay. When applying for the family Medicare card, place yourself at number one. Place your infant child at number two,

and you're toddler at number three, and put your husband at four. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER My wife actually done that to me. I'm off the card. You're off the card. I'm off the card. I'm on my own card.

She's one, two, and three on the family card. I'm in the camel. I'm on my own card. She's one, two and three on the family card. I'm in the camel. I'm in the separate card. Thank you, Amy. She's got me a beauty. And it comes in from Ben, when at a festival and someone gets on your shoulders to get a better view, at some point then randomly turn around, leaving them facing the crowd, right at the stage.

Well, we've lost a seat. There is the crowd's chairs. I'm wondering why they're facing the crowd, right at the stage. Well, we've also seen there is the crowd's tears up and wondering why they're facing the wrong way. I really like that. From grace. When you see someone you know, compliment their outfit and say that you like it. When they come back with a thank you, say, yeah, but I love everything.

Well, for good. Ando. Um, how I move. This comes in from Phil when you're round at a friend's house for dinner as soon as you finish eating and out, excuse me, could I use the bathroom? I love to, of course, say yes. Then proceed to go and run yourself a lovely long bar. Oh!

LAUGHTER LAUGHTER I don't have a bathroom. Yeah. It's from Holly. I think this does qualify as a car power-pow-pow move. Post the car crash one earlier. If you ever in the front seat of the car with a big group of people

give someone in the back control of the music. Okay. In about 10 seconds in, turn the volume all the way down, essentially often say that's enough of that. This is a goodie. From Zach, could be used with your partner at home or a group of workmates. Could be used as your partner at home or a group of workmates. Head tenure as sports store and purchase the captain's iron band as used at most local soccer clubs. Then proceed to wear around the house, allocating yourself the role of captain.

If anyone questions this simply put it, pre-purchase red card and send them off. It's not something the captain could too, but that's all right. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER MUSIC Ando, due to the trust I have built up in the detective community over the years, blowing things wide open, looking to the health star situation, it pleases me to let you guys know that now like-minded detectives and seekers of truth come to me and

request further investigation. And you know me, I'm never afraid to roll up the sleeves, even if it gets noses out of joint, which is a high sleeve roll-up. Yes, it rolled it right over your shoulders. Got up the neck and you've hit the nose. But you know what I mean, I'm not afraid to do the legwork, hand-o. No legwork, you heard the photo. Sorry, yes. Fingerwork. You just sit on the computer. Yes.

Are you across? I did see, so I remember talking to someone about this, like at a dinner, like maybe last year, maybe the year before, the glitter conspiracy. No, no, no, glitter. You guys have that. This was being on TikTok like a year ago. Maybe even a little bit more ago.

But it is the here online. Here's the thing, it's about a glitter shortage in the world, right? So about a year ago, people go, hey, it's getting really hard to get glitter, right? Right, people going, we don't, you know, there's supply issues, people are hoarding it, people are buying up big, the prices going through the roof.

Then you look online, and this comes in from Josh, and he goes, mate, look into this. It became very popular late last year online. It's a worldwide, it's about a worldwide glitter shortage. It seems as though there's a health star-esque magnitude to this story. There have been accounts from people who supposedly work for glitter companies. They have info, but are too scared to share. A bit of deeper research indicates that one big company was buying up all the world's

glitter. You know who that was? Harry Styles. He's fans. He's concerts. I know you remember it for a year. You can't go off your skin. No.

The US military was listed as the world's largest consumer of glitter, which did shock me. But then people like, no, no, they might use it. They use it for, there was one theorem I wanted to kick litter bombs, litter cannons, distraction. Yeah. I'm going to use it. They were saying they coat jets with it,

like it's part of the stealth coating, which confuses me because it's an attention-seeking material. Not traditionally used for camouflage unless you're in a field of unicorns. So they're like, look, why, Josh is saying, what's the secret? This needs to be investigated. I trust your sleuthing experience.

Take on the case, I mean, it's the biggie. Took on the case and my first stop, not afraid to take on the US Melchruander? Well, in China, a's afraid to take a bond. So this is me, but you are. Well, I think you've just got to step up and go, this is the line. And if there's something to be found out,

I'll blow that whistle. Went to my old friend, one of my assistants, chat GPT. And I said, is the US Army really the largest consumer of glitter? Chat GPT, as we all know, took no time in getting back to me. No, the US Army is not the largest consumer of glitter. This is a common myth that's been circulating on the internet for several years. Right. Okay. Is that okay? It says, what's it's true that US Army has used glitter in the path for various purposes, including as a way to mark targets and to help

identify explosives, makes sense. They are not a large consumer of glitter. Again, make sense. Yeah. Just think of all the times you haven't seen glitter involved in military operations. Do you know who is the largest consumer of glitter in the world? Appreciate it this chat, chat GPT. The largest consumer of glitter in the world is the craft and hobby industry. LAUGHTER Which was? I think you should have thought

I can't classify that as a conspiracy because I feel like if we're on family feud that would have been on the board at the top I can't think of anything other than that Yeah So that's the end of that one Luckily, there was something else called my eye this week.

So you cleaned up that one and you had a car. Yeah, clean up, they put a bow on that, not a conspiracy. And you had enough time to follow up on a navigate. Well, I put aside all of Monday, nine to five to work on it. So I looked at the clock and I was like, OK, 20 past nine, not done for the day yet. Could we solve another mystery? Could I interest you guys before we go?

And I know we just had lunch recently, and we might have, what'd you guys have for lunch? We've had subway. Both had subway. Oh, okay. Did you have onions on your subway? Yes, I did. Yeah, right.

Well, to freshen your breath, could I interest you in a chewy dragie? What is a chewy dragie? You know what a chewy dragie is. I'm sure you've had many of them. Yeah? No, I don't know what it is. You don't have a chewy dragie is. No. Oh you if I have many of them. What, no, I don't know what it is. You don't know what a chewy drag is.

Oh, maybe you know it by the brand name Mentos. Okay, I know that's what. This comes in and from Peter Thomas, and I've gotta say, there is something in this. Peter Thomas writes in and has gone, Hey, I take great pleasure in when people offer me a Mentos. I go, don't know what a Mentos is, but I know what a chewy drag is.

Oh, no. And I'm reading this going, why? And it goes, have a look on every single Mentos Packer. Have a look at this. Every flavor in here, fruit, mint, the bag, the sticks, the technical mint is called bag, the sticks. The technical mint is called a chewy draggy. What? So what's Mentos, it's just a collection of chewy draggy.

It's the brand name. It's the brand name. Hang on, I know what you're saying. It's been there the whole time, it says chewy draggy. Mentos is the huge brand name. Chewy draggy. Yes, it's so confusing. If you're looking at the packer, it'swy dragies. Yes, it's so good. If you're looking at the packet, it's just...

It's not going to look like this has been here the whole time, hiding and playing side. It's so to make it clear for everybody, it says Mentos along the wrapper. Yeah, and we all know that sign. Then underneath it says Chewy dragies. As in it's saying, these are... That's what these are. These are mitos brand Chewy dragies. So these little white things in here, a chewy dragies. Oh, okay. Yeah. These are, they're made by the well-known company,

Mentos. But they are. The only people making a chewy dragie or can you get, say, another company's chewy dragie. So if I said, if someone said to me, hey, like when you're ordering a gin and tonic, I'll have a chewy draggy. A draggy and all of those things. Yeah, and that's what kind of draggy would you like? Oh, I only eat Mentos. Yeah, I've met Mentos. Because as we all know, or perhaps this is just me having recently targeted at chat GPT,

a draggy is a small candy or confectionary product that's typically small ball or pellet shape coated with a hard shiny outer layer and a chewy inner center. That's a dream. That's a dream. Would a cool mint be a chewy draggy? I think that might be a draggy. Yeah. I'm going to overuse the term now.

Yeah. I mean, it is a, it's kind of half a power move to just go a draggy. Yeah. I'm going to overuse the term now. I mean, it is kind of half a power move to just go, Chewy Draggy, anyone? And then have a roomful of idiots go, I don't know what that is. You absolutely do. What have you been calling it? What do you call the Mendelssoe?

That's not. Also, what do you, I mean, do you put source on your, on your sausages, or do you just, do you, do you call it master foods? I'll have a square of master. I mean, some people might do so, but you know what I mean. Well, yeah, that one, him, we, I mean, you should have used the blow at wide open sound effect. That is, I don't think there's a candy bar that's been untouched by us this year, to be honest. I think there is that there'd be tremor in there, think there's a candy bar that's been untouched by us this year to be honest. I think there is. There'd be tremoling in there, but there's got to be one more out there.

I mean, we've had a flag, flag luxury, we've hit them all. Now we've got the men with had moltezzas. Now we've got the chewy dragies that have been blown wide open. Who's next? I feel like it's not over. I feel like it's not over. Guys, last week, back was away. We love our partners. That must have been sad for you. We, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, I don't know. So is this a, is this a about how sad you are? This is about, it's times when,

you're heartbroken. You're the king of your own jungle again. There's moments when you're about, and you can't even get it less because I suppose you get it when the kids end the partner away, you'd be back when you're like, oh my gosh, the house can run just exactly as I'd like it.

You can't believe the freedom you get. And you know, I had a, I had. And I had my first ever night at home without children or wife in the house. For the first time, I think almost since kids, I've had kids. And it was like a month ago. And I was watching and going, I just didn't know what to do.

I didn't know what to do. It actually felt so strange. It just went night. It was just one night. And it was still almost saying good what to do. It actually felt so strange. That was just one night. You was just one night. And it was still almost saying goodnight to them. Like, you know, I was like, it felt very weird. Like, yes. Because I've never ever, ever gone to bed

without visiting their rooms first. I think the one day, yeah, that would feel weird. But if you got three or four, a different hamish would have come out. I think so, he probably timed that right. To do. To do. To come out. I think Zoe probably timed that right. The two flies. You know, to come back and I'm covered in barbecue sauce and I've made a spear out of a rake.

So look, I've enjoyed my time. Can't wait to have back back, but I've enjoyed my time. So much so that I thought I'd put it into soul. When Vex away suddenly There's no online shopping deliveries No long debate about what to watch on TV It's two Netflix clicks for a sports documentary There's no cardboard boxes around for me to bin And the toothpaste is neatly squeezed from the bottom

Becks away I can put in the unsweetened bathroom Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good.

Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's No more pooing in the kids toilet. No more the walk across to the other Lou. Well, yeah, that's what yeah, you can. I've we've got three toilets, right? Must be nice. That'd be very nice.

It's all right. Two are outside, Dunnees. One's a drop toilet. I wanted to back it under the sink. That was still very intense. Well, it sounds like four tours in actually. That's the cool sink. Oh, no room for an insincere end of it.

For a bucket. Here's the problem though. We've got the master, like our bedroom, the on's way, which you can only go in there. No, no, no. You don't have to go in there because, because even if so, it's not out, it could be home in a minute.

Yes. Right. And so that's always a punishment. That's always looming over my head. Yes. Then there's the one like near the entrance of the house. I can't go in there. Yeah.

Because that's going to cupcake whoever walks in. So I'm going to get to whoever walks in. So get home after, you know, putting up some significant money for this house. And that's OK. We're a team. We're a team. But it never, not lost on me that as,

mass, you know, as not the king of the castle really, because the king of the castle is always jammed in the kids toilet, just staring at a bathful of half dismembered my little ponies. And that's what, that's where he gets to go. That's where he gets to go. Ha ha. Ha ha ha goes, oh, sure, I'm all right to be this close. Andy, quick as a flash seamlessly. Didn't miss a beat.

I could have had a metronome on the conversation. He was coming right on the one. Andy goes, don't I, I made have had a chewy dragon. So we were just, I was sort of jacking, I lost it. We're already used to it. And Scott, it's after an absolute fire. So huge. So I just had to explain that because people will be like,

gee, what happens after the bell before the next bit? They've come back on absolutely bursting with gusto. I'm sorry, because we've seen a live use of chewy dragon. Well done, Andy. Opening the account. Thank you. No, Phil. Natural as well.

It came off of you natural. Even stutter. Yeah. Look forward to seeing the account. Thank you. No, Phil. Natural as well. It came off. Natural. Even stutter. Yeah. Look forward to seeing the talent next week. Seeing how we've used it out and about. Now, Mikey, Mike, I wanted to get you in here because it's time for one of everyone's favorite segments, Generous Hame. This is the part of the show where Hame is very generous. But he did tell me that, hey, I've got the music for generous.

Hey, I didn't know what the hell he was talking about. Is there music that you need? Well, no, I mean, I'd happily do an opener, but it'd be something like that. He just said, I've got, he said it's already in the system. Is there anything? Oh, there's something called Trade Fan Fan. I was just saying, like, it's probably the same. I don't remember asking for that, but maybe I was psyched.

I'm sure it would just be fanfare, and Margie is such a pro. I think I did. I said, you wanted to do a segment, and you said you didn't need it, so I'll just be the usual fanfare. You did, go, so he's put it in. Good on you, Margie. Well, keep it handy, Jack, because part of generous aim is where I reveal an amazing gift given to a team member. Now, Mike, a couple of weeks ago, I was in Japan.

We're on Family Holiday, and I talked to you, I sent the team a message when I was very excitedly at a place called the Pokemon Cafe in Tokyo. Have you been to that cafe, Mike? I haven't. I didn't know it existed till you sent that. It's pretty new. I had to log on to the website.

Yeah, I've been to Japan yet. Really? I missed it. Yeah, I missed it. I did go to that Pokemon Mega Center in Tokyo, which was called. Yes. Yes.

You confusing me with... Sorry, I'm there for my son, just to make sure I'm really good. So this isn't a fan meetup. Probably enough, I actually went with my dad, but I wasn't at all at the time. Yeah. You'll love to poke him on Cafe Mike because it's full of mics. It's the most mics per capita right ever seen. You're turning to your dad, so can we have this dad? Maybe later on. I'm not sure if we're going to take dad, so can we have this dad maybe later on?

I'm not sure if we've got to take it back for a second. Well, here's the thing, Mike. I, you know, my little boy is very keen to go on, of course. Yep, no worries. Let's go to the parking lot cafe. To get a ticket, so there's the shop and the cafe next door. And to get a ticket to the cafe, you have to, like, get a booking. I had to log on to the website exactly 30 days before we were there.

And for rossiously, refresh, refresh, refresh, to try and get it at the ceiling time. Yeah, we got a cheeky 410pm lunch booking. So nice and convenient to roll on in at 410 for our late lunch. That's very early. Anyway, we get in there, you go in and all the food is Pokemon themed. Like, a lot of people are very excited to be there. You sit down and they go, oh, you know, there could be a Pikachu could come out later. And it's the real Pikachu mic.

Big guy and a big suit. That does a dance. And if you're sort of there at the right times, different Pokemon could bring your meal out as well, they do a little dance. I feel like you've got a few questions you want to ask Mike, sorry, go for it. But go on quick one just to get more idea of what goes on. Is there a second most famous Pokemon? I only know Pikachu.

You see it like. You know Charizard. Yeah, Charizard. Charizard probably, yeah, is probably the next biggest. So, I know that last time you got me a gift on the show, it was a bobblehead of you that you thought looked like me, so you gave it to me instead and pretended you got it made for me. Generous hate. Just sorry, I'm joking. Given things are way, is the name of the game? LAUGHTER

No, it's not a picture of me, Mike. I want to just paint the picture for you. It's important you know we're at the Pokemon Cafe. I was going to buy you one of the Pokeballs from the shop, like the plastic ball that has a softwaient. Would you have wanted one of those? Yeah, sure. I like any merchandise.

I'm like, oh, that's cool. And I'll like put it somewhere. Okay. Well, I went to get one of those for my son and the guy stopped me because, just don't do that. That's Gen 3. Don't you want to gen one ball?

And I was like, you've lost me, man. I don't know what I'm doing here. Is that like the original, the original generation is Gen 1. And as in the generation, but are the same characters in each generation? If, well, no, every generation, there's like a new batch of Pokemon that can't reveal. Sorry.

I've never seen anyone ask more questions, for a segment he's less involved in. I mean, I anyone ask more questions, risk, but he's less involved, dude. I mean, I was interested in, so anyway, I didn't get you something from the shop, but I was thinking of you. So when we sit down to look at the ferociously overpriced menu at the Pokemon Cafe, like the burger looks like Pikachu

and they put like little chips in it's the bun to make it, you know, I'm going, what's something I can get here? Like the food is not the greatest. But then they go, oh, if you get a caramel latte in a mug, you get to keep the cup. It comes with a collectible cup from the Pokemon Cafe. So I go, all right, that's probably a pretty fun present for Mike.

Yes, let me get this like $20 caramel latte or something. Anyway, it comes out with our food. I drink the latte. It was like, it was very strong our food. I drink the latte as, it was like, it was like very strong coffees. It was like 4.30 in the afternoon. So it's like, I've done a terrible thing here. I'm gonna be up, that's late.

I mean, have a coffee. Anyway, did it for you, Mikey? But at the end, like, it's all in Japanese too. Like, you know, obviously it's Japan. So the way it is, unless you're specifically pointing to something, it's very hard to have a conversation or understand really what's going on.

So I get my big kind of like, it's one of those big bold type cups and it's shaped like a poker ball, right? Which are the things that they throw in poker on Android like these red and white balls. So I go, well, there's no really instructions here on how you keep the cup. So I just wiped it down with like a few napkins

and chucked it in Zo's handbag because I was like, well, it's, I'm pretty sure it said, it was $20. So you're allowed to keep the cup, right? Chuck it in Zo's handbag, then you go up to the front to check out, like you take up your slip and it's like a robotic chip or whatever, you give it to them. And then check out, they hand you like a vacuum sealed

Pikachu mug. Oh, you got two. That's what they mean by if you buy this drink, you will get a cup at checkout. By this stage, we'd already stolen the other cup. From the restaurant. Which one was a higher grade cup or the same cup? They were very different cups. Everyone got the Pikachu cup.

No one gets the Pokeball cup because that's the property of the cafe. But I stole it, Mike. And who did I steal it for? I stole it for you. Really? Oh, the fan. Sorry, sorry.

Look at this. Oh, yeah, baby. Yeah, baby. That's really cool. That's great. Yeah, what does it saying on the underneath. Uh, Pokemon Faye. Yeah.

Pokemon Faye of the Pokemon. Yeah. Can't ever say no one can't buy those. Can't buy those, can only steal them. Oh, no. Yeah, to be fair, I was just so exhausted about it, it says, so I looked at me and I went, no, it's just, oh, it's going to get us to steal the cup. Let's take two cups. Then back in the, I just, what's going to get us to steal the car? Where's the take two cups?

Then back in the room, like, that's two, then as we tried to fly back to Australia I was arrested. That's two ceramic mugs, right? Like, think about packing, luggage space, weight issues. Where do you, we're traveling like, we had a few weight issues of their luggage.

I left the other mug just so you know. As in the Pikachu one. Yeah, that's the one that everyone can get. So I say I'm not bringing two heavy mugs halfway around the world for Mike. But still the first one stands. That's awesome. But I can already I think it's broken. Did it break in transit? No, that's yours. That's all yours. All right, right. Mike, this is generous aim. Oh, so this is just that's it. That's yours. Oh, right, right. Mike, this is generous aim. Oh, so this is just that's it. That's it. There's no, because there's no, you know what generosity means? You just giving, I'm giving freely. No, that's sneaky man. I like you, but I think you're just sneaky sometimes. Well, you're welcome, Mike, because that is the... That's awesome, man.

No, she is, mate. I'm glad we've covered a few true feelings. That's really interesting, right? I mean, when Sandra rocks, you know and goes, thanks. But you know me, a sneaky, sneaky man. Yeah, it was the catch, mate. Why are you distracting us in here with the sack? We're stealing our collar.

That was cold, Mike. The cold is cold and as cool as the a breath after a chewy dragon hat. That wasn't nice. That wasn't a true one. Andy podcast will return next week. Catch up or contribute at www.hamishanandy.com.
