A least-knife production. Activate your internet. Because the Haymission and the Podcast starts in three, two. Sorry, still buffering. One. A Hoi to me 1. Amish. Oh, I wear you two albums or songs. Ahoi to me 360.

Yeah. Oh, are we tricks? No. I'm serious. Oh, hang on, we're Xboxes. We're Xboxes. Yes, I'm serious. Because I did feel like a...

Yes, what's one of you, ando? I'm Series X. Is that the new one the latest iteration? That's the cooking crumbles. I did think when it was a competition between the one and the 360 unlikely to be skateboard tricks 360 of course very impressive trick a one a it's not a show stopper at the X Games a low point or a

I love you to just keep going the other three hundred and fifty nine degrees if you think you can get it. Ahoy also, defrayer and joe c in Bosnia, who are telling us what's there, been up to at Hamishnerdy.com using the very easy to use system of uploading. Well done, thank you.

And you're in South Lut. Ahoy, Hamish and Andy and the number six, frayer and joe see here, just on our very a newer gap here at the moment, wherein most star Bosnia and Herzegovina. Currently watching the Red Bull Cliff diving championships, which we were watching you guys up there competing, you'd be a show-in. Cheers guys! Beautiful context for people. We have jumped, we have been to that town,

there's a bridge, an old stone bridge, it's about 25 metres off the above the river, that we did jump from that bridge. Yeah, wow. Couldn't actually think of a morac here in analogy between a 360 and a 1. Like what the Red Bull guys are doing, is the equivalent of a 360.

What I mean, the idea is a 1. Those guys are diving off fearless, like doing flips and stuff. We stepped off into the airbiz. I was convinced I was gonna die. Yeah, we both got wet. But, Blash, couldn't move our necks for a day and a half and hame a half your quite thick wetsuit ended up new bum.

Up my bum. With half the river. With half the river. The river was about 25 meters from, yeah, the bridge. And after a lot of it went up my bum, about 30 meters from the bridge. Like it dropped the volume of the river quite significantly. You could see some fish, some old wrecks from 1600s,

like really drained the lake. You got us pretty bad. Yeah, I've got pretty good. I've got a great, my back. Do not wreck a bit. I saw footage of the Red Bull jumpers though, and they get something that you didn't, where they break the water with,

they spray the water underneath the jump. Oh, that's true. I think we're the braver. I think we're the jack. Make it less painful. Getting a wall at 80kph. We need, there needs to be like a, because Red Bull owned the extreme sports. There needs to be like another drink brand, like I'm thinking Bonox, which is the beef drink,

which is like what you take on camping in like you know, and then you make this the warm soothing mug of Bonox. They need to be like the unskilled extreme athletes at that end, like we could be in the Bonox scared man going for a week of competition. Or like you know, he is a 45 year old dad and he's never been, it hasn't been on a mountain bike since he was 12.

He's gonna have a go at going. So, creaky, squeaking brakes, shitting himself, white knuckles. That's not what's that. Bonaug's terrified middle aged people. People, Olympics. Hey, I thought I had a special guest start off today's show. I know.

Unfortunately, I don't. Fallen through. That's all right. We try our best on this show. We move on. Back story. A couple of weeks back, my house, my apartment, I just, I reckon I just moved house into apartment.

It got completely flooded. The, yeah. Yeah, I put up a racial flooding. People saw it. It was violent flooding. Yeah. It's like a very small version of Splash Mountain Disneyland. Yes.

I was in Sydney while it was happening in Melbourne, so it was a good day for me. I caught a minute. I saw the initial wet patches on the plaster and went, I might get out of here. So what had happened was the fire safety guys came round to do what's they called a pressure test. And there's hydrants or pipes at every single level. And if they were to have to run a water up from ground level to one of their pipes, they need to make sure that they've got the right amount of pressure.

Yep, so get right. Not where they say to you, you now have to make a crock and bush in one hour. No. A different kind of pressure test. Yes. Also hour. No. A different kind of pressure test. Yes. Also hard. Yes.

It appears they didn't check whether the pipes were capped at our level. And we need a cap for pressure. A thousand litres a second into our part. A thousand litres a second. That's what the guy said at the bottom. Now whether that's possible, I don't know whether you can do that. Thousand litres a second. That's a bar for a second. That's more than a bar. the bottom. Now whether that's possible, I don't know whether you can do that. Thousand litres of sets are bar for seconds. That's more than, like, how much would you say about this?

About a thousand litres? Can't be even that would it? Can't be even that's two bar for seconds. That's what the fellow said at the bottom. Wow. Now whether he's right or not, it's a lot of water. It's a lot of water. So the firefighters on the top floor say waiting for the pressure to come

and then you're just getting out of your floor. There's no one waiting. They fired up and they realized, yep, it's held that pressure. And they start. Yeah. I think from memory, from like year 12 science of pressure, pressure at one end is pressure at the other, like, you know, because of, if it's the same diameter of pipe, but if it's capped, you need a cap, you need something for the water to push against to create the

pressure because the pressure in that pipe was nothing. This is getting out. So couldn't they tell straight away though, they would turn the machine on and then will the test normally take a few seconds because it goes flying up there really quickly. And you would assume the needle would zoom straight into the red if it was capped and they'd be like, yep, that's good pressure. But the needle stayed low. So they're going to be like, yep, that's good pressure. But the needle, the needle stayed low. So they're going, if it was you or neither, it would be like just garner a bit more because we can't

leave till we see the needle go up. Just keep revert it. There's here at the bottom going, it's a water bottle. Oh, you said, what are water. Guys, give it a bit. Give it a bit. They really give it some. We want to see this needle flop. We give it a bit. Bex in the house, right? Oh, man.

So C's reportedly a thousand liters of C. I mean, under the doors, right. Flying in, the dog doesn't know what's happening. Well, this is the new apartment now, guys. Yes. This will happen every day. Beck then starts trying to barricade it with towels, which is difficult because it's got quite a pressure, not that the guys downstairs know that they're still in the house. I'm going to send the needle to the top. The guys downstairs apparently said, reportedly,

sea water coming out the side of the building in an area vent that shouldn't happen, and they went, oh, what if that's anything to do with us? Yeah. So they shut it off, but the damage had been done. Yeah. It's, you don't need too many seconds at that volume, do you? No, so Bex confused, runs to the lift, we're on the 12th floor,

lifts shorted out, not working, everything's full of water. She then gets on the group WhatsApp, which he's on for all the other turns and said, hey guys, I think we're flooding, I think we're flooding. They're like, oh, we can't see anything because it hadn't quite reached their level yet, because it was getting redirected from our level because of Bex Barricade. It then starts going through every single about true. The barricade does protect your house that does kick the kick the problem somewhere else. Yes. So Bex getting alerts almost in

quite like reverse. You mirror the Lord 11. Oh, yeah, I'm seeing it now. Oh yeah. Beautiful day down here on the first. Loving grandfather. Exactly. Are you sure? Are you the right building? Yeah. And if I was kind of a primary school and used to do stick racing, it would have been exciting to see. Oh yeah, that's for sure. But yes, every single apartment has been affected. SES came taped it, said not safe to be inside, and that was Bix Thursday while I was in Saturday.

What were you doing in Sydney? What were you doing in Sydney? Sonny Sydney, at that time I think having a burger. Friced. Great. That's a nice day. So, can I ask, who's the special guest then? Who are you going to get on, the guy, the pressure tester?

Yeah. You were? Yeah. You wanted to hunt, you wanted to? No, I wanted to. You didn't want to come on. I can't imagine. I can imagine what the upside would have been coming on the show. Tell us about some of the buildings that you haven't found it. Well, things looked good. Things looked... He was happy to come on. Because Beck went downstairs.

When she got out, she had to go down the stairs to get out. And there was two guys, a bit younger, quite sheepishly at the bottom, having realized what had happened. Thank God. And they're like, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I'm just like, hey, it's not your fault, because that's the kind of thing that Beck sees.

Yeah, yeah. And the guy quick as you like goes, can you tell my manager that? Yeah. Why would you manage to say he said the opposite? Because I've known as the Capcom. I'm meant to put the cap on. Usually when there's a big flooding situation, ever, you have this yet, because we had this happen to a house to the, it seems to be like, not only is it like the disaster of everything getting flooded,

but someone always likes to talk about how cheap the part was that could have stopped at all. Like someone said, do you like, and you know what, those caps are 50 cents. Like, you know, the little silver flexible, it's like woven steel flexible pipe. It's sometimes a toilet. By the toilet. Yeah. We had one of those with just a too much of an angle, right? Too kinked. Right.

And then in the corner, like it just was too much pressure and it studs quitting out. But because you can't see it, it was just going like, a while. For weeks and filled up the wall. Like filled up the wall cavity, just like slowly over days, days, days, weeks, like fills it up with water until something gives way

and then there's like, can boom, water goes through the house. Every plumber, like every person wanted to tea, mate, you know what I'm saying, is that? Yeah, I know, I know. I know that. I know that there's very, very cheap particles. And then the next go video, like some insurance person, we were like, crazy thing about this part.

Guess how much this cost? Yep, no, I know. 80 cents, 80 cents retail, I get it. So it seemed like the young apprentice was keen to come on and talk about what had happened. It was just up a management at this particular company, which I won't name in fairness, has since got on to us and said, we don't find it funny. We're not prepared to laugh about it. And we apologize for all the damage done to each partner and all their belongings.

It seems like a safe stance. It seems like a safe stance. But when you said, what are the reasons this person would love to come on? I feel our show embraces mistakes. I mean, it's the reason why Jackson... If you and I were those apprentices, I mean, yeah, there would have been a heap

of finger pointing at the other guy. But I could absolutely see that being out, that how we would have been on day one. Oh yeah. And we would have given him a hat, taking a no value. Like, first, not forget the prize package for coming on the show that you could have got to.

So if that person is listening, I would in future, not next year, we'll be over by then, but the next few weeks, if you do want to come on and give us the insight of what was going through your brain when the needle wasn't hitting the red line and you'd decided just to give it a bit more, I'd love to hear that for the horses, now. I'll open it up. Hey, people writing in and wanting to play tell us some of where we thought of for a while, it's hard because... This end of the year is very hard because the rules clearly say

And we can't change the rules. We just inherited them from the tell us someone foundation It has to be somebody that Annie and I haven't thought of this year. Yeah, we must produce honest evidence to show how When and why we thought of that person, that famous person this year, often people are very unlucky with the wild scenarios in which Andy thinks of strange and you would think for God in celebrities just fair. But rules are rules and I'll stand by and I absolutely to my last breath. So if you thought of it, if he says it, I believe it. Yeah. Jacko, you've got someone you say for the song.

Oh, right. You need, this is something we fail at quite often as remembering, I have to say one during the example. So you got one, Jacko? Well, before you do that, Jack, let me just quickly go through the hats. They're on my side here. Yeah, great.

What do you got? What do you got? Hey, this exciting, it's's Sydney Water Hat signed by Shane Jacobs. Wow. So, writing a wrong, writing wrong. We did for a little bit with Shane and Sydney Water under the microscope. The ads they were running.

But nice to see that all, we're all having a laugh about it and they've provided us with some merch. Yeah, they said that they've sent in some quality hats signed by Turnin' Off Bob himself. I couldn't remember his actual character name, Shane's name, but I wouldn't say quality. I think they've overstretched there. It's certainly not the lowest form. There's no Velcro, of course, they put that in brackets, but that's just a plain, very plain blue hat, They know Velcro, of course, they put that in brackets, but that's just a plain, very plain blue hat, white piping on the brim.

I don't like that. I know promotional hat companies give you the option of changing the brim piping, but anytime you see a different piping on the brim of a cap, you know it's promotional or a sports team. And I just don't think that's what people want to wear day to day. Still buckle class with the back. Well, we use a buckle on the must-be nice hats.

Yes. So you certainly won't find, to mean more proud of a buckle than us. The second one came in from a company called DECT. They're like a cool, funky USA company. Hey, guys. That's a good, that's a five piece. We thought we'd send you a hat,

so you could use it for chit chat champions. Yeah, we don't actually. Who's there Australian PR? It's like it's so close there. It's so close. Good hat. That's good. That's kind of a, it's a milletri kind of green.

It's got the same kind of star with a bit of paneling and then just the snap back at the back. Probably the premier hat I would say with all jurors. Is that a quick trimaterial? Yes. And, you know, with all Jewish people to shame Jacobson, just a better hat. If he'd signed this one, you know,

that would be the best of both. Well, it's finally him. Nosferado. Nosferado Jim. Jim, there is some deep cuts on today's hats. Nosferado Jim, of course, named after my dog. Go back and listen. We can't go that way.

That episode of pod batay, yes, certainly a spot in my heart, because Nosse, absolutely loves it. Can hear me opening the Nosporodid gin bottle from rooms away, and she'll often run in, pop her head on my lap.

Look at me the way only Nosse can no, I'll go, I'll go. And then I'll dip my pinky in the gym and let her have a little lick. I think the best one of all, yeah, yeah, another great quality hat. It's the kind of that carpety, think carpety, felty type material. That's good. It's really nice. But maybe because of how it's been posted,

it's almost got an inverted brim. Yeah, it's cupping upwards. Yeah, I'm looking very flat, hasn't it? It's got some lucky for them. So they're the T-hats. Yeah, you don't often see the cupping material. No, promotional. So there you go, Sydney water,

Nosferado or the decked, Hame Joe kicks us off today, but Jack obviously will do before that. We're coming with the opener and throwing someone that he isn't thought of for all it's been a while since i've got about yahu serious

oh it's been a while it really feels like you're a kid trying to kick against us in martin's mothers you straight away why is that so easy? Is a movie out about him. Is that Zach Efron? About Yahoo Siri. I know, that's why it's so, I couldn't believe it. There's a movie.

There's a movie in an actor. Oh, sorry, no, I've got with weirdo young bitch. I was like, the Australian actor from the early 90s hit Young Einstein. Zach Ebron's playing Yohu Serious. Oh yeah, weird owl. We think of weird owl non-stop. Yeah, sorry. No, who unfair to this mother, 50 feet apparently.

You haven't thought of, yeah, who's serious for ages? Right, that's a, yeah, because I was like, wow, the way Andy's acting. Yeah, that is, yeah, because I was like, wow, the way Andy's acting, he's. Yeah, that he's watching. Yeah, I get weird mixes in with Yahoo. Yeah. Differently crazy people and we've both, both, both, definitely not appearing on the birth certificate,

both first names. And long, crazy hair was a, and wacky guards. Yes, yeah, cross over. But no, no, well done Jack, that would pass, adjo. Oh, I mean, I'm just still processing the fact that in my head, Zach Efron, was starring in all the scripts that he could choose. He decided that he wanted to lend his voice

to the Yahoo serious story. To be honest, I was as surprised that he wanted to do the weird hell. Like it's not too big. It's not like, I've got this wrong. What is it coming in my, coming up, I mean, he explodes outside when there've got this wrong. What is it? Come in Mike. Come in Mike. I know it's the explodes outside when there's a fact wrong.

It's Daniel Radcliffe. That's who it is. It's not Zac Efron. It's Daniel Radcliffe. I thought Mike was coming in to say Daniel Radcliffe is the person that Zac Efron is playing in the movie. And that is a weird person to mix up with. No, Daniel Radcliffe, sorry, is playing weird. That is so strange that I'm intrigued. They have Harry Potter playing weird out. Yes. That's multi-generational. Weird out had similar glasses. Maybe they

tell they cast you. Harry Potter, really. I have respect to Daniel. I reckon he's got more to bring to the role. Then Zach everyone. Then just we class. And we got a cheese. What a mess. All right. It isn't mess. Sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. That is several people we have heard of. Where's the we can find someone that we haven't had a lot of this. All over the shop. A horror. Do you make a horror captain's and Kevin Boy Jack? I like. Tell us what a long intro that was. It was. Right. You tell Jack. Hello, Joe. Nice.

Tell us about a lot of... I mean, Troy, that was. It was. Right, you tell an ass. I mean, so sorry. And good that you represent the listeners there because everyone's thinking it and you got to voice it. Yes, yes, yes.

I was laughing, but there was a lot of stuff that I'd you were already in. You didn't really have an idea. Yeah, I've had a little bit more acting. I'm taking a risk because I'm going to name a comedy duo. So that's two people that Andy might have run across in his celebrity shenanigans on the hundred. But I'm going to say scared we're the little guys. Scareddies. I thought of the umbilical brothers this year, but I haven't thought of the scaredies. I think I thought it'd be good.

It's a fri-bot, okay. What about BIPOD? There's the two of them. I was nearly going to face this typically John Cleving the tall one from Scarab. Yeah, it's got it. No, that would have counted because we wouldn't have, I don't know if I know their names. Well done. Yeah, you got it. No, that would have counted because we wouldn't have, I don't know if I know their names. Yep. Well done.

Yeah, you got it. Well done. It's clear for me. Well done. A comedy song, a duo from the... What, late night 90s? No, I mean, early 2000s, that's still going really strong.

Mid 90s. Mid 90s to mid 2000s. I was like, Andy, when Andy and I started doing radio, we liked to try and do some funny songs and we had one of our early bosses say, guys, drop the funny songs. Unless you as good as a scared-width little guy, no one wants to hear it.

So we thought about them a lot back in the day because every time we thought of a funny song, we'd go, it's easy to as good as the scared-width little guy. Because that's the whole order. Yeah, they want an area for the best comedy release as well, which, I mean, you don't have to be anyone to do that. I know. Yeah, I think that was before it was very coveted and hard.

After that, it became quite a prestigious award. Yeah. Joe, which hat? Nostra R2 decked or a Sydney water sign by Shane Jacobson? Just going to take the Sydney water. Wow. Sydney water. by Shane Jacobson. I'm just gonna take the Sydney water. Wow. Sydney water. Wow. Okay.

That is a surprise, but Joe, well done. Thank you, my friend. From Joe to Jim, Mahoy Jim. Mahoy boys, how are we? Yeah, good. Tell us someone we ever thought of for a while. I'm hoping jumping joy to Rima. Oh, good boy. Good boy.

I have. I'm afraid. Really? Oh yeah. Yeah, I was... Steve Hooker came up in a conversation the other day. Yes. And he jumping joy was named in... Because he was in that same...

Was it the same Olympics? Or are they just both jumping men that represented... A similar period of jumping. Similar period of jumping. A similar period of jumping. Our阿rican Steve came after Jai. Jai was 2000, wasn't he? Yeah, Jai was 2000. But more of an example of like, here's a track or field event that you don't follow week to week.

Yeah. But certainly when your Olympics come around, you're all about it. So I have to say in full faith that jumping joy had been mentioned in those conversations. Sorry, Jim. Nice one. That's on the mix. Very unlucky. Clinton, who are you? Oh, I am. Sandy number six. Clinton, who have we not thought of this year?

Vulcan from the hit show Gladiators. That love. Yep. No, haven't. What do you mean? What did you think of it? They're bringing Gladiators back. Did you think of Vulcan? What do you mean? Where did you think of it? They're bringing Gladiators back. Did you think of Vulcan? What do you think of Gladiators? The only person you think of when you think of Vulcan.

And they did a where are they now? They just recently, they took on a announcement, I probably like eight weeks ago, that they are actually returning with Gladiators. Same Gladiators. Not the same Gladiators, they'd be a bit old. Not as hard to get around these things. People who don't know the show were talking about, it was essentially you had to combat. Every day people would combat just very, very massively people. Sorry, combat with padded, blotting stuff.

Wiffle pads. Like yeah, on like gym equipment. Yeah. On like, you know, lots of padded, there's lots of padded. Kind of like wipe out, but you had to get past somebody as well. That's exactly. That's true The the obstacles were human Clinton. Will you watch the return of Guadiators? Of course just to see if they bring back condor or blaze or

We know We are wishing to condor. Yeah, that would have been tough for us. Thank you very much. Joe, a hoi to you. Hoi lad. That would have been a tough one for us. Thank you very much. Joe, a hoi-do-you. Hoi-labs. Joe, tell us on where we thought of for a while. A former Lord Mayor and all around, good guy, John Soat. From Melbourne. That's got to count, and I haven't thought of John Soat.

And we do know him. I mean, there'll be a lot of people listening that don't, didn't know the Lord Mayor of Melbourne, then as Melbourne boys. Yeah, we didn't know him. I mean, there'd be a lot of people listening that don't, didn't know the Lord Mayor of Melbourne been as Melbourne boys. Yeah. We didn't know him personally. We didn't know him personally, but he had a knack of getting himself in the papers quite a lot for Lord Mayor. Absolutely.

John So as my brother, I think, was the care team. Yeah. Yeah. Joe, you've got yourself a cap. I think he's got it. Nost for R2. Well, one. Nost for R2, or the decked cap, which one would you prefer?

I'll go the decked cap. Yeah. That's a pretty smart choice. We know, both great, they're both great caps. So you couldn't have gone wrong, mate. Thanks so much for playing, pre-shadowed. Cheers, guys. Cheers.

Good work. John's, oh yeah. Yeah. Jack, you're a board gamer. Yes. You're a B-gamer. And are you a bit of a B-gamer? Yeah, like a board game. Which one's your favourite?

We love Everdele. Everdele. Everdele. Yeah. And then Jack's a board gamer like that goes to board game shops. He's not a Milton Bradley. No, no, no. Like, Jack's not playing Connect4 and even Ophley.

He's like Jack. This is a crowd that actually turns in nose out quite heavily at Monopoly. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Everdao, it's a world building and resource building. So similar to Kitan, but your woodland creatures, and you might build the post office in your city, build the courthouse in your city, that sort of thing. Really? What's Kitan? Are you like a Mr. Tumness woodland creature, Jack? Well, you collect actually all your,

as many woodland creatures as he can to your city. So you might have the shop to try to build a rather city. Yes. So this is like when they just rebrand another game, but it's woodland. No, no, no, no. He's Mr. Andy. So you play this with Bianca? Yes.

Less now that we've had a, had a son, but it's still our favorite when we get some time to ourselves. How many hours back before the, the kid? How many hours a week were you collecting woodland creatures? Pretty much to like if there's anything that we couldn't decide what someone would do, like the dishes or the laundry. Well, all right, let's play Everdell to see who does the 10 hour game. 10 hour games. How long is the game. Hang on, how long is the game, T? 45 minutes to an hour. Like a time.

The laundry would sit there and then... Yes. You would try so hard. And now you'd be trying so hard to get out of those chores. That's a fact, that's a fine time trade off. I would say I'm the most board game. I'm the most pro board game. I'm just into that water. Remember when Jack's like,

oh, I don't have a lot of time with my hands for the pod to come to the meeting. No, but the thing is, we know he's got a lot of time for board games because people on chess.com keep writing him out that he's spending like 24 hours a week on chess. He just moved, he's having it to the dark web. Yeah.

He's still playing a board game. Okay. No, we all need a board game. We all need leisure time in our life. Built it. We absolutely. No one's, no one is more of a proponent for that than us. Yes. So no arguments here. Yeah. I look, I'm, I'm pro board game. I'm into board games, but not,

and probably not to the jack level, but I'm always, but then I've got like I've had a few experiences where you start to play like Avalon for people that know it is basically The TV show traders Okay, based off like that's like kind of like Mafia or Adel Avalon Right and I've played I would love to play The same sort of thing Avalon same sort of thing. There's like good guys and bad guys You got to figure it out. Yeah, but, you know, for some reason it's a King Arthur themed, but it has no reason to be.

Right. You could just be a good guy or a bad guy. So I'm trying to get the family excited about board games, but I've got to bring it in at like a six to nine year old level. And also, Zoe has a very low tolerance for learning new things. Right. Like, I'm trying, I can't bring in an advance one like Woodland 2000 or whatever. Yeah, no, Steve learning curves, but then you get rewarded once you know the gameplay.

That's no interest in the delayed rewards. Teach me now or I'm not interested. Yeah. How's this though? So the other day, I, so Magic Mike, a good friend of the show, the show's favorite magician. He is also fan of ball games, and I was, we were talking about ball games, and he was like, oh, there's a good one called Herd Mentality, very easy for the kids.

All you've got to do is basically, everyone gets like a pad, and you have to write down, so it might be like name a famous robot, and then you have to write down what you think the most common answer would be. Okay. So it's kind of like you sort of, I mean, it's family feud, basically. You're basically trying to get that, I think.

Well, pointless. So you're trying to write down the most common answer. And if you're part of the group that said the most common answer, you get a point. Okay. So I'm like, we can handle that. Like that's a good extended family board game. Now this is an ad I suppose in some ways for her mentality, but this is where it becomes not an ad for it. Jack, what is the most

ad? What is the most important and coveted thing in any board game? The rules. The pad. The pad that it comes with. Like, scat degrees is a big one where it's like, don't waste the pad. Oh yes. The pad that it comes with. Like, Scat degrees is a big one where it's like, don't waste the pad. Oh, I got to go. Yeah. Don't waste the amount of shaking. You not waste the pad. Yeah, because you know, if you waste the pad, if you run out of the Scat degrees pad, you never playing Scat degrees again, no one's reordering the pad. Like, you know, they go in the bag, Hey, went out of the pad, go to the website, log, or you're like, no one's doing that. You are only playing the game for asordering the pad. Like, you know how they go in the bag? Hey, you went out of the pad? Go to the website, log on.

You're like, no one's doing that. You are only playing the game for as long as the pad lasts. Okay. Like, the scraps that you end up playing on, why should it, if it's like, double side the pad, double side the pad, don't use a fresh page. My dad will rule lines,

and I can be saved now. Down the middle to split the other pad. You don't need all that space. No, I can't. Don't waste the pad. The friggin' pad. Yeah. And the arrogance, like when you're playing with someone, it's not from the household, where they just tear off a new page of the pad.

Like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, it's like someone tearing off your grandmas plastic covering on the sofa. Yes. Just go, I'll just sit on the cushion and say, you don't do that. I open up her mentality after hyping the game up, no pad. What do you mean? Like provides your own.

Provides your own. No, no. They're just the box that had been packed with that one. They just made a mistake of the factory. Because I played it with Mike, and there's an official pad. Yeah. Or I hate that.

And there was no pad. And I was like, oh my God, you can't do this. You can't, like, you can't, you can't, I can't explain the letdown to the people. And then I'm rushing around trying to get post-its notes and everyone's, I was like, why isn't there a pad? Is it, is it a pad? It just doesn't appear, somehow to have been included

in this sealed box. This was a sealed copy of the game. Oh no. I can't vouch this game. I have this really good fun. Let's get into it. So I was like, post it, no. So what do we have to do?

I was like, oh no, oh no. This was meant to be so easy. I had an idea of the back of this, right? Would we do, would we ever release the Hamish and Andy board game? Oh my God. Okay. It's an idea. Now, it can go one of two ways.

We are the handed over to Jack for him to start like crafting. No, no, God no. But here's the other thing, whatever it is, whatever it is, and it might, it could even just be this, right? What we go with the handed over to Jack thing is suddenly you're collecting and doing all these things. It just takes two hours. Could be too elite, yeah. Well, that's what I mean.

He pitches it back to us. We can like, dumb it down a bit for the average player, you know, because it could be stuff like, you know, an SP competition or whatever, like as the chance, like the community chest. Or, right, what if we release Hamish and Andy the board game and you open it up and it's just a selection of multi-use pads for other games. So there was almost no game but it's an excuse to get a box of backup pads in your house that would fit most games that require a writing down an answer.

So by buying someone in the game you said it's almost not a game, but it's not a game. It's not a game. Certainly. Oh, we put a very, very small token game in. I'm quite looking for a game. But mostly, yeah, yeah, it's, it's like a two small cups in a ball. I'm like, see if you can, see if you can move the ball from cup to cup. My worries, you finished the game now.

Please enjoy the pads. My worry is that we're saying no one will replace the pad which you can just do off the back of a board game. But you wouldn't do that for one pad, but you might buy. Can you imagine someone's delight if you got given for Christmas, you open up boxing like, oh my god, it's back up pads. Yeah, but he's got to match your games.

But we make them like generic enough pads There's big ones small ones rule Every game has its own like scoring column like pick the most popular format and we do we do a selection of pads So you get in a box full of backup pads. I feel like it's a stationary replenishment We are not disguised as a board. That exciting. Station, repeat, repeat, replenishment. All right, what about this?

Fine, fine, fine. I did like that. You go back to the original idea and we make Hamishan need the board game. But we are, if there's pads involved, I'm not doing this unless you get more pads in our game than any other board game on the market. Yeah, no, no, no, no, there'll be a pad surface.

Like a wafer thin board and the whole thing's pads. It's like thousands of pads. Done. That's our competitive advantage. Whatever the game players, Jack, you're in charge of coming up with some ideas to make it good. I would love that. Yeah.

But what I bring to the table is we promise you will never have the feeling of running out of the paper. Done. That's our edge. Hey, I'm to close out today. We talked about it last week and we've probably been avoiding talking about it again because we're at a loss, haven't we? No, yeah.

We're at a loss. No one expected this, this spanner in the works to be thrown. No one expected this fake chicken to be thrown the works to be thrown. No one expected this fake chicken to be thrown amongst the crocodiles. Confusing if you're a crocodile and a fake chicken gets thrown in. What is this? What is not what we're used to? The Croc Tours, for the Croc Wars, they're happening in the North. We're happening in Darwin. We've been following all year. Original Croc jumping doers, spectacular Croc jumping doers, as you probably heard on last week's show to the vast majority of people that are listening in order

out of nowhere and unrelated to us for their own reasons the original Crook jumping doers has decided to close down after 38 years of operation they're shutting on October the 31st. Why is this relevant to us? Well, as you also might have heard, we booked flights to Darwin. And we're taking the whole team up. And again, this isn't top priority, but it is a factor with Bookter Sunset, Jetsky Kriz, or we're interested in booking one.

And just a bunch of other fun stuff in Darwin. We're excited to do. Anyway, that's not the priority, just mentioning it, just because it's fun thing to think about. Anyway, we're off to do. Anyway, that's not the priority, just mentioning, just because it's fun thing to think about. Anyway, we're off on a piece mission to bring these two warring companies together. Another of the silliness, that was the main focus. Another of the silliness, come on guys.

It's been decades of high jinks, but now, let's all, you know, wouldn't this be fun? And the piece process was looking good. We're gonna sit down and put the feud inside, look at working together in the future, and hopefully exchange one compliment per side. That now, well, life doesn't work out the way you plan. No one was expecting Tony to shut down original crook jumping to as entirely

because of a dispute he's having with the government and some demands they haven't met. So it looks like that's happening. Looks like that's the situation. And we've had a think about it and we're still going to go up. Yeah. Jack wants the two. Jack wants the GNDs.

And what do I do out there? We don't know. We're trying to pull the idea. We're going to be out of CROBA some kind of peace talk scene and claim a triumph. Probably. I'm gonna be out of Croba some kind of peace talk to you and claim a triumph probably And Croba though, and let me ask you this If we go like just just to answer yes or no to this sure Hamish and Andy and Jack went to Darwin where for decades there has been A rivalry between two small businesses There's high jinks There was some tricks played on each other,

and just a general air of rivalry. So much so that one wouldn't go one side of the bridge, one wouldn't go the other side of the bridge. When Amy Shandy and Jack came home, that was all over. There was never a shenanigan that played ever again. And there was peace. That's great. That's that'll be the headline. And that that begins the spin because I also think the timing on this couldn't be worse. What when are we scheduled to go like the weekend of the fourth or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fourth. So we're scheduled to go that weekend to Darwin. Tony's come out and gone, I'm closing the business 31.

Yeah, nothing to do with us, but boy oh boy, the timing is couldn't be worse. You can't be the intern. If we had been there a week earlier, like we can't go, because we got stuff on with family and stuff. If we'd have gone a week earlier, we couldn't got the piece to you. Yeah, and then he could close. Like absolute buzzer, be it a.

Just to be like, do you agree to piece between the businesses? He'll be like, yeah, man, I'm closing on Sunday. So I don't care. I'll be like, yeah, but for the next, do you agree? Yes. For the next four days or whatever. Yeah. Peace, yeah, sure. Yeah, for the space, no worries agree with your next four days or whatever? Peace, yeah, sure.

Have your four days, no worries. They're still trying meat, Tony. Okay. So he's what I'm proposing. Who can like what's for in the grand scheme of 38 years? What's four days? Yeah. I mean, I still think we get a plaque made up back data.

Not a bad idea. That's a good idea. And then you know what you know what it's sort of like. Just like Smoking Rick. I like it. It's like when a great player retires after a grand final. So we can say that we broke a piece we won and then Tony retired the same day.

Yes. So you risked back day with the 31st. We just get it written on the block. Like it's all in, it's, you know, it's in broad. You put a few years, put a few years water under the bridge. No one's going to totally suffer. And once it's blocked, why don't we time stamp our chats with them as well? It's like, okay, nice to meet you Tony here on the 30th.

I mean, so we, so we fly up. We made it, even though we're meeting on the 4th of November, we essentially re-enact. Because just due to scheduling, we couldn't be there a week earlier. But we basically go, look, had we been here a week earlier? We never been here, we never had a conversation. Same conversation. Do you agree if it was a week earlier you would have peace?

Yeah. Hopefully he's a little like, yeah, absolutely. This was one week ago, our attitudes would be the same. You'd both have two open businesses that could make peace. Yeah. Complement, complement, photograph. This was one week ago, our attitudes would be the same. You both have two open businesses that could make peace. Yep. Complement, complement. Photograph. Photograph, the crocodile.

Wearing white teeth necklace. Sucks it, kids. Skelet. Yeah. Flying. Great. Fine Darwin to reenact the back date and piece of cord whilst the two businesses were still open.

Now, do we put it on there? Do we put it? How do we put it on the plaque? Do we go on this day, 31st of October? Or do we, why do we back that exactly a week from? Let's, when we're there. So we go on this day, 29th of October, 2023, peace. What about, how about this, have a chance? Achieveable, have a chance.

Well, that's true. Why don't we do a not lying? Well, we don't go, peace was achieved. We just go, peace, you know, the concept of peace was... That sucks. I can't. I'm sorry, I've got to... It's a brain job.

I'm trying to just avoid getting tackled up if you can try it. What it was? Why don't we get a text message to Tony and a text message to Wes saying, yeah, for peace on the 31st. If they both write back, yes, we can say on the 31st, it was agreed that peace. In fact, you we just go on this and we make the pl- Why don't we do that a week before we go?

We make the plaque that day. Yes. So we're obviously making the plaque in Melbourne. Yes, but we don't have to, you don't say we make the plaque that day. Yes. So we're obviously making the plaque in Melbourne. Yes. You don't say that on the plaque, no. Yes, go. On this day, the 28th of October, it was agreed by the two parties that peace would reign

between the two businesses. For however long the businesses may go. Yep. Right? Then we take the plaque that's made, and you plonk it in the spot up there. Yeah. And everything's true. It just weren't actually there on the day.

You don't need to ride on the plaque, you know, due to schedule and conflicts, we couldn't actually be there on the day. No, no, no. But you know it needs that detail on the plaque. Yeah, great. You just do the headline. Yeah. So we actually forged the plaque on the weekend before.

Yes. And we have them on the line. And then just go and reenact the day what we would have said at the time. What we would have said at the time. And I think that's very... Yeah, very honest. I'm not very honest. I'm just having this very honest.

But I think that's not as dishonest as is possible. That's still a paste deal. Absolutely. And that's not a peater out, which is the most important thing for us. .com
