I'm calling this a revealing episode, Tim, because we're going to do a whole bunch of reveals. I'm keeping my t-shirt on, man, no matter how many times you ask. Well, you never know. So this is a podcast. People can listen to it. Hopefully they'll enjoy the audio experience. But if there was ever an episode, you were going to go and watch the video version of, I would suggest this one. So if you want to go to the YouTube or Patreon and all that kind of stuff,

this is a really good episode to watch because there is going to be a visual component. If you're just podcasting, I'll have associated photos and all that kind of stuff. So don't worry, but I'm recommending video this time. And we've made a special effort with the cameras and everything. So here we go. I haven't had like makeup and a crew, you know, here pampering my hair or choosing a wardrobe or anything, man. Should I have? Are you saying you look that good just naturally?

This is just me. I've just woken up. Wow. I literally have just woken up. I had very little sleep last night. But that's a whole other story involving a three-year-old boy. And I chopped that tip of my thumb with a knife. I almost cut my thumb off, cutting bread yesterday.

It's really annoying. And it's like really annoying right on the tip of the thumb where I use all the time. And I don't like it. Oh, gosh. Lucky you're not a guitar player. No, very lucky. That'd make your plucking very difficult. Yes.

It would. It would be very difficult. Here we go. Are you ready for the first reveal? So how's this going to work? You're just going to move through stuff that you're revealing, is that right? You've got... Just go with it. Just go with it, man.

Don't ask. Don't ask. Just go with it. Okay. All right. All right. All right. All right.

All right. Reveal. First reveal. Do you remember not that long ago, late last year, the Brady Haren Medal was awarded to none other than Tom Hanks? Yes, I do. Yes. And just to bring people up to speed, I listed, I wrote a citation, a bunch of reasons why I was doing it.

It made mention of his movies, of course, and their influence. It also mentioned his love of Apollo. We mentioned your joint affinity with typewriters. Tom Hanks loves typewriter, so does Tim. We've discussed this before. We mentioned that my wife, Kylie, has said before that if a movie was made of her life, she would want Tom Hanks to play her. Like, you know, it's a bit of a running joke in my house.

Anyway, citation was read. Medal was awarded. I received an envelope. And the branding on the envelope says, Playtone, which is the name of the record company in Tom Hanks' movie, That Thing You Do. Yeah. Inside, inside was a letter,

a letter typed, hand-typed, with corrections and everything from Tom Hanks. There it is. Wow, look at that. We've got a letter from Tom Hanks. There you go. Look at that. Well, come on.

What does he say? What does he say? Oh, you want me to read it? Yes, yes. Oh, oh. Whoa, okay. I'll just have a little read here myself. Wow.

Oh, what a great letter. So anyway, thank you, Tom Hanks, for sending that letter. We shall move on to other matters now. No. Come on, man. Come on, man. Okay. All right.

You'd like to hear what the letter says? I would. I would very much. Can I first just say, man, the best thing about this letter is that it's like so authentically hand typed. Can you see there's like little corrections in it and things are crossed out? You know what I love? I use that yellow paper as well when I type and I like that. And I also make the same kinds of mistakes.

That makes me feel a lot better. That's all part of it. Wonderful. So I'm going to read it too, if I may. At the top he's typed Tom Hanks like a letterhead, but he's just type. typed it himself. 30 December 2025. And it's, you could imagine this in his voice, because he's written it like he talks. Yeah. Okay then. Brady Harron and Tim Hine. Man, this took me a while, didn't it? I have excuses galore, but who cares about my complicated life? I have a job,

a wife and kids. I need to do enough sit-ups every day and like, you know, get to the dentist and optometrist when they say. So since 24 October of 2025, I have been reeling from the honour of being an awardee of the Brady-Harran medal and gobsmacked and chuffed by the extent of superlatives and connection in the citation that was read on your show. The thing is, I get to do work that is on subjects that I find fascinating, sort of being lucky to a crazy degree, like being on Jeopardy with two other contestants who can't ring their buzzers fast enough and the categories are space exploration, root beer in America, typewriters, the music of Jan and Dean, Elvis and the Colonel, and 2001 a space odyssey with the final Jeopardy category, D-Day. That is exactly what working on my stuff is like.

Let Kylie know I will play her with vigour. And since you are all ten, tech and web savvy, I do a show on a great radio station, Boss Radio 66 on Tune In. Only once a month, but the songs and records we play all day are just sensational. Now, only one question. Which of you is Brady and which is Tim? Throw deep, and then he hand-signed it, Tom Hanks. Ah, wow. There you go.

Do you know what I love? I love that he goes to the dentist and the optometrist. I was literally at the dentist and then the optometrist today. We talked about dentists and optometrist in a recent episode, in our recent special episode. They were the two things we talked about. There you go. Optometrist and dentist.

He's just an every man. He's right on the, he's on the button. In fact, it's almost like he's stalking us. He's so keen. I tell you what, though, Tom Hanks. What a nice guy. Nice. Lovely.

Yes. I took the time. Wonderful. I love it that like some bits of, he's gone backwards and retyped over them, other bits are crossed over. I'm only just noticing now for the first time. Yeah. If you hold it up to the sunlight, whenever there's a full stop, it actually pierces the paper

and the light comes through the paper. Oh, right, okay. It's quite thin paper, is it? Yeah, it's very, very thin. I'm wondering what to do with this. I'm thinking I'm going to have it framed. It feels a bit weird having a letter from someone framed, but it just feels special. Like, I can't just put it in a drawer, can I?

No, you can't put it in a drawer. You don't want to throw it away. I don't know if you want to get it framed, but... No? I don't know. I don't know. That feels a bit... It's really interesting looking.

It feels really authentic, so I don't know. Look, I've got a pile here from him and I don't get them framed, but I do keep them somewhere handy to read from Tar-Naghan. Oh, nice. Nice. Nice. All right. Very good.

Very good. That's fantastic. That's great. What a champion. Legend. Legend. Champion. Can I just note two things.

One is he did, I know that you wrote to him, but he's written back to both of us, which was very nice. Yeah, well, when I wrote him the letter with the medal, I did sign it from both of us. Oh, right. Okay. That's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But then if you add in, you know, remember the book that he gave me that he wrote a note in there, handwritten note? That was very lovely for my birthday. So counting that and this letter and so forth, I'm pretty much pen pals with Tom Hanks, don't you think now? Like, that's quite a bit of correspondence. Kind of, like, almost like related. Indeed. Has Michael Bolton written to you since you awarded him the Tim Hine medal?

Not as such. No, no. But I mean, you know, Michael Bolton's a much bigger star than two. Yeah. No, I have not heard from Michael Bolton. And also, that's not his medium. In much the same way that typewriters is Tom Hanks' medium. I feel like music is Michael Bolton's. And he did write you the song, How Can We Be Lovers? That's true. That's true. I wonder if I wrote a message to, like if I wrote a song for Michael Bolton and sent that and the song was, hey, you haven't written me. You know what I mean? Maybe if I did that, he might sing back a letter to me or am I starting to sound a little bit too desperate.

Perhaps I need to let that go. I think play it cool on the Michael Bolton front. Treat them mean, keep him keen. Do you think if I just ignore him, I'm more likely, he's more likely a bit of reach out. It's going to build the suspense. It's going to build the tension between the two of you. Yeah, well, okay. Well, I guess I can't lose if I do that. If I don't hear from him, I'm like, well, that's because, you know, I'm just not paying attention. There was too much tension. I mean, in some ways, I think Tom Hanks was a little bit easy. Low-hanging fruit. Yeah. You know, I've kind of lost a bit of interest now. Now what I really want is a letter from Michael Bolton.

Maybe Tom knows Michael we can ask him. Look, now that we've established this connection, and then Tom's like, they're just using me to get to Michael Bolton. They're just using me, surely. That's end game. Michael Bolton is end game. That's what I know what we'll do. We use Tom Hags to get Jack Nicholson.

You know what I mean? We'll go from Jack Nicholson and we'll work our way through the megastars all the way around to Michael Bolton. Yeah. It's been like the godfather, whose power moves across both those worlds. You know what I mean? Who's won an Oscar and a Grammy? Who's one of those sorts of people? I think Stephen Spielberg won a Grammy the other day.

I think he won it for a compilation. So I think he crosses across those worlds. Maybe we could use Tom to get to Stephen and then finally reach across into Michael Bolton's world. So what's the connection between Spielberg and Bolton? The fact they've both won a Grammy. They're both won a Grammy, yeah, because they're pretty hard to get. I mean, I think you've won a Grammy.

Oh, the grand, don't start me again on the Grammys. You know, I was looking through the winners the other day. I think I know what best album is, right? Yeah. And I know what best song is. I can figure out what those two things mean. But then what's best record? What's the difference between those album, a record and a song?

I always imagine that the best record, because that is for a song as well, I think, isn't it? Like, it's, I think it's the production, isn't it? It's the production techniques. Whereas the song is just the writing, perhaps. Perhaps. I don't know. We'll ask Michael Bolton when he finally writes to us. No, well, that's true.

That's one of the things. That's one of the questions we have. Yeah. Imagine writing to Michael Bolton to ask that question. What's the difference at the Grammys between best album, best song and best record? By the way, I think Michael Bolton's not very well at the moment. So, like, you know, all jokes aside, if he's not well, that's okay. That forgives him not writing to us.

Well, that would explain it. That would explain it. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's a pretty good real. You know, see, that's not just a reveal.

That's a revelation. That's what that is. Nice work. To be fair, I did front load it. That's as good as it gets. That's the highlight. Oh, okay. You were so keen.

Now, I have here a letter from Michael Bolton. Next reveal. Here we go. This is, this is a box of the, original 23 spoon of the wheat collector cards. Yes. Many people have received these as prizes.

People are familiar with them by now. Here they are. That's what they look like. Spoon of the wheat collector cards. There's the backs of them. They've got the nice backs. Okay. 23 to collect.

Some people have received whole boxes and obtained whole boxes. More people have received them as sort of singles and are building up their collection. But today, I can reveal to you, there's the there's the original box the new expanded deck of a hundred cards we now have a hundred spoon of the wheat collector cards the whole set is expanded let me grab these out for you look at

look how thick they are in my hand all those cards that's huge wow massive massive so the first 23 are the same i'll come to that in the minute but then there are another 77 new cards in the set. I'm just giving you a little peek there. We now have 100 cards in the set. Explain, man. These are other spoons of Spoon of the Week that we've gone through since the initial batch were released.

Yes. So many of the spoons on these cards have been featured on the show. It's full of Easter eggs, this set. It's full of all sorts of treats and things you might not expect. Because remember, we've also done moons of the week and other wounds of the week, like sand dune of the week, baboon of the week, some of those are featured on the cards. There are special cards occasionally that are a complete curveball,

things you won't expect, delights, jokes, stories, a few very, very special ones. I don't want to show them all there. I want people to receive them. I want the serendipity of people just receiving them in their random packs and going, oh my goodness, I would never have expected that to be a card. So I'm not going to blow it all But I will say sometimes we get cards with multiple spoons

A new thing Mm-hmm, mm-hmm Look, I just don't know if I should show these Like, no, I'm going to save them, I'm going to hold them back But this is a delight Now, how do you get these cards? It's going to be like it always has been Serendipity, prizes, patron treats

Occasional mystery releases and all sorts You've just got to be on the journey with us and hope that Lady Luck smiles upon you. Are you Lady Luck? Is that your new nickname? I am Lady Luck, basically, yes. In this context, I am Lady Luck. And I will say that obviously one of the best ways to get maximum opportunity is being a Patreon

supporter. And to kick things off, I'm going to send little packs of five cards to five of our Patreon supporters, just to seed the new collection. I'll read the names of the winners here. We have Clemens in Switzerland, Bruce in Washington State, Liam here in Bristol, near me, Andrew W in Ottawa, and M in Nova Scotia. You will be the first recipients of some of the new cards. Keep an eye on your mailbox. They are Patreon supporters, by the way. I'm just thinking, man, where are people, if they collect a whole bunch of these, going to put them? Like, is there a possibility of an unmade podcast, you know, binder of some kind to slot them in?

A binder? Yeah. Or people could, of course, make... It's a good idea, man. I wish you hadn't put that in my head. I wish you hadn't put that in my head. But, yeah, there could be a binder. People, of course, could make their own binders just to save you the stress. They could buy a binder.

They could get those sleeves and then they could slot in, you know, a nicely printed. unmade podcast piece of paper, or they could, they could purchase an official binder that you're now going to get made. I don't think I'm going to do a binder. But what I am considering at a moment, as I told you earlier, which I think you responded to rather condescendingly, is I'm obsessed with social media posts about people opening packs of cards and getting special limited edition sign cards, one of ones and all that sort of stuff. I'm thinking of having, some special edition cards made that are even rarer and putting them in random packs. Do you think that's a good idea?

To the listeners, do you think that's a good idea listeners? Should I do that? I think I'm going to do it. I think I'm going to have to. Look, I think that's a great idea. I'm just always amazed by how excited you are by the idea. Like, you were just so passionate about it. Like, it's marvelous.

It's bliss to watch you like that. That's great. I love collector cards, and I'm kind of just living out my collector card fantasies in this kind of god lady luck role so yeah i think that's i think that's why your passion is so strong you love the collector card idea so you've made your own little batch world of them yeah for sure yeah that is it that is it um i will say another little one little easter-eggy thing i will share is if you're a collector of the original 23 you might be thinking gosh i spend all that time and effort getting my hands on some of the original 23 and now there's like 77 more to collect

That is true. But the original 23 are, of course, in the new 100. They're the first 23 cards of the new 100. But the original 23 are very, very slightly different. I've made tiny changes to the design in the new set. Isn't that just annoying? In some ways it's annoying. But the changes are very subtle.

There'll be a slight move of the spoon, a very, very slight change in the text on the back or something like that. The purpose is that you can have a full set, no one will be any the wiser. But in years to come, when these cards become super famous, there will be, like, officinados and experts,

like on Antiques Roadshow that will be able to get, like, out a magnifying glass and look at the card and say, oh, that's an original 23, as opposed to the new, like, second editions. And there are still original 23s that I'm going to be distributing

in my Lady Luck Roll. So when you get one of, card one to 23. Yeah. It could be one of the new batch. It could be an original 23. You never know. And those original 23s, they're like, you know,

they're like real collector's items now. They're like those baseball cards that everyone wants to get, like, you know. Is this going to be explained somewhere? Like, is there a, we probably need a Wikipedia page to explain these and to keep a bit of a category of... We do. And of all the cards. Because as these new cards go out, people are going to want to share.

Like, because at the moment, people don't know what the cards are. What's on these cards? Which spoons made it? Which moons made it? Which other Oons made it? And there are a few things that aren't even Oons. There are, how many are there? One, two, three, four.

I can think of at least five to six cards that are like total curveballs. Right. Yes. You know what some of these are. I've shared this with you, but it's a secret. Some of that stuff has no business being on a spoon of the week card, but there it is. Yes. And I've got written on there.

this is the original test deck. I wrote that on there because this is like a real collector's item. Right. The test deck. All the other decks have been delivered to me in a few days time in a huge box of these cards that sit here in my office. It is kind of nuts. And then I like, and then I like, I shuffle them all up and put them into random batches of five so I can send them out as like random packs. I love it.

I love it. Do people develop games with these cards? Like, is it something that happens? The one people are probably thinking of is top trumps. And I haven't officially revealed a game. But there is enough information on these collector cards that you could do a top Trump's game where you're holding a card and I'm holding a card.

And on the back, you know, I could say, I think mine weigh, my spoon weighs more than your spoon. My spoon's longer than your spoon. Mine has a lower card number, things like that. So there are enough nuggets of information on these cards that I think you could devise a top Trump's game, but I've not done that. I might let that just happen organically if the collectors want to.

The thing I want to know is which person would be the first to obtain all 100. And how will they do it? Would there be trading going on online? Will people say, I've got a three, I've got a 75? Do you want to, like, swap them? That's the pretty original thing I think about our collector cards, is that we're not, we're just not selling them. They're not just for sale, which is just too easy.

There we go. There they are. 100 spoon of the week slash Unmade Podcast Collector cards. Do you think the Tom Hanks letter will appear on a card? There will be a Tom Hanks letter card in the future. I'm not going to say it hasn't occurred to me. That would be a lie. But these were printed before the Tom Hanks letter arrived.

But I am making, because I might be making new cards for these special inserts, there might be an opportunity to create new cards there, but we'll see. Do you think the absence of the Michael Bolton letter will also get a card as well? So there'll be a blank card. Just a... Where Michael Bolton's letter would be if we've got one. Do you think I should get one card printed upside down as well, like the inverted Jenny? Like this rare card, that's...

Maybe the limited edition cards will have like an inverted Jenny in there as well. We'll see. One card with a spoons upside down. Brilliant. I'm definitely. I'm definitely having these special. specials made, definitely now. Well, that two classifies, not just as a reveal, but as a revelation. So thank you, man. That's two revelations. We have another big, big reveal that Tim and I are going

to reveal together. But let's save that for the end. Let's save that for the end. Because Tim, you've got a couple of reveals. One of yours is spoon-related too, I believe. It is. It is. Every now and then, despite knowing all about the show and what we do, my mum still pops up suddenly with something that she's not told me before. And this happened again very recently when she suddenly announced to me, Tim, I'm just wondering if you would like the other Dutch spoons.

And I said, Hang on. What other? This isn't the Toot and Carmen trove that we did a whole episode about already when she revealed all these Dutch spoons to us. No, no. This is, this is, well, I hope not.

I'm now studying to forgive. I'm now starting to doubt my own memory of crap, have we done this? This, yeah, she said the other Dutch spoons. I said, what other Dutch spoons? And she sends me a photo of a batch of spoons. I promise you I've never consciously seen them in my life. Because she uncovered like a whole trove of Dutch spoons. We did a whole episode about them, you know, the forgotten spoons, they're wonderful things, etc.

And then after that, you told me she pulled another batch of Dutch spoons. Yeah, she just casually says, would you like the other Dutch spoons, which is just unbelievable. Anyway, I go straight over to mums and she pulls out this box, like a Tiffany's, you know, jewelry box. I have no idea where she's got this from because I tell you what, my mum's not got any Tiffany jewelry, but she's certainly got a box. And I open it up and it's.

so gorgeous because then there's like it's lined with tissues like mum's put tissues in there to put these spoons in to hand them to me like they're very precious. Are they there now? Are the tissues still there? You know, we've got a camera here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, so here are the tissues and and and and I found it like this and and and then inside are beautiful things, more beautiful things. Come on man. Hold them up better to the camera so the people watching on video can see. Oh no, have a look. Have a look. These, they're these, now that they're unusual thing. This is a whole unique little batch of time... Put it near the lens of the camera? You know how the camera has a lens? That's where the picture gets made. There we go.

No, I know, I know, but it's right there. Like, I'm holding it up, but like it's in front of my face. Gorgeous. Look, yeah. I know you're excited about these. I am, I am. They're quite dainty. Yeah, yeah, yeah. These are smaller than a teaspoon. Much smaller. Yeah, oh, look at that. That one's like a spade. You might call them a cocaine spoon or something like that. If you were adding a pinch of salt to something, then you might use one of these. Right.

Gorgeous. Lovely little. They're beautiful. Beautiful. Yeah. Yeah, they're like salt spoons. Maybe they're salt spoons. Maybe they are salt.

Well, maybe that's right. Or spices or something like that. Yeah. Maybe they're for 11 herbs and spices to be added to a particular. kind of chicken. Wow. There's this one. There we go.

Are you going to put them into your like mother load Tupperware container for occasional featuring on Spoon of the Week? Oh, no, I think they're too special. I don't think I can choose between them. What have I got here? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. There's eight and they're all similar. And so I started to ask, Mum, well, where are these from?

And she said, well, from the Netherlands. And I said, yes, thank you, mum. when are these from? And she sort of went back and forward as to, she didn't know whether they got them on holiday when we're over there in 1979, 1990, or where the dad already had them. And I said, I don't know why he would already have these. Why would he have brought them out from Holland when he came?

It does, you know, coming out as a migrant with your family, it's not a high priority. Maybe he kept them all that time, like, you know, when he was dodging the Nazis in the war and stuff. Like, it was like he was smuggling them out of Europe. Maybe, maybe, yes. He kept them the only place he could. Up his ass.

Thank you for that Pulp Fiction reference. That's it. Thank you for explaining it was a Pulp Fiction reference, too. Well, I'm just sort of, yeah, okay. I'm just to making sure you leave it in. I was, I'm starting to wonder where they came from, maybe during the war, but they are clearly Dutch, right? They look much older.

And so mum was saying, look, these look much older than the other batch that we got when we're in Holland. So I wonder if they're older. But then she's also, you know, I don't know where your dad would have had them from. So anyway, these could be thousands of years old for a woman. Because they could be the original spoons,

the first ever spoons. The first spoon, the prototype. type. The spoon upon which all future spoons were based. And they just thought, yeah, we'll put a couple of Dutch little fellows on the end of it. That's what the first spoon would be. Other countries can take that off. We'll make the real ones bigger when we, like, you know, put them in kitchens and stuff.

These are just like small ones as proof of concept. And then eventually we'll make that. That could be the original spade you're holding there. It could be. It could be. Just as well they enlarged it. This would be useless in the garden. But certainly it's the first one.

Remember, people were a lot smaller back then. That's true. That's very true. These are so small, I reckon I could almost use it in Monopoly. Is there a spade in Monopoly? Is there something like that at all? No, there's not a spade. I don't think so.

It looks Monopoly-esque. It's bigger than that. It does. Two or three times as big, but it has that sort of vibe to it. Yep, yeah. Next time I play Monopoly, I may use it. There's no dates on them. I know people may be screaming at the,

at the screen saying, check the date. Are there hallmarks from the Silversmith? Yes, there is. There is on the back, E-P-N-S. So we'll be able to look this up. We'll look it up. Further investigations will be done. They're very, very tiny.

They're very, very tiny. We have another reveal. Yeah. And this reveal has been sitting in front of everyone's eyes the whole episode, literally, because Tim, you showed us your new glasses, but they weren't your new glasses. In that previous episode, when you finally showed us your new glasses, you said, I'm not quite happy with them.

I don't like how they sit on my cheek. I've asked for a slightly different design, different bridge width, slightly different model. Those ones you're wearing now, though, that's the finished article, isn't it? That's the final real deal. That's right. So if there are any people who didn't feel they got enough information about my glasses frames. Boy, are you in for a treat. In that whole episode we released, you had your glasses frames. If you want more, you've come to the right place.

One of my daughters said today, oh, I listened to the latest podcast episode, and I said, oh, the one about the glasses frames, and she goes, oh, heck no, like, no, no way. Not that one. That one doesn't exist as far as I'm concerned. That one was, that one got skipped. So look, that's right. No, people will know a whole film was created about the fact that I had to change from the classic Dita New Yorkers and now to the, they've gone to Moscott and then I got the Lemtosh. This is feeling like, you know, very repeated history at this point. But they weren't good. They were basically not sitting on my nose.

They were sitting on my cheeks. And that was not good, particularly not good. So I ordered another. frame that's based around sunglasses. And this is just a slightly different model. And it sits much more comfortably on my... Give us a bit of side on so we can see the sit. Okay.

I still have kind of a pretty funny looking kind of non-bridge to my nose in my strange Muppet features. But these certainly, they do sit on the sides of the nose more comfortably, which is very important. Nice. And yeah, are pretty much the same side. The other thing that's distinctly different about these are keen frame spotters will be aware that. Framespotting.

The film you never knew you wanted. Is it these are shiny black, whereas the others were a more matte black. So these are shiny black. Okay. Yeah, they're okay. I do see a little bit of glisten on them occasionally when the light catches them in a certain way. but only in a positive way. Yeah.

Thank you. Nice. Well, so there we go. I said as I picked them up today, I said to, you know, one of the girls in there, I said, well, thank you for being on this long journey with me. I promise not to come back for two years. This is wonderful. I'm done and I'm good. And she reassured me that it was fine.

It's been quite a journey together. But that's that, you know, she looks forward to seeing me quite a way down the track from here. Yeah, I said the same thing to the people who printed these cards, man, and I'll be talking to them again later today. So we have one more reveal. And it's just going to be a tiny, tiny little bit of tease. But we just have to let you see some of this. It's been too long. And we haven't quite got it all finished the way we want. So we're going to do a little sneak preview of a couple of shots of the music video that we've been working on where Tim plays the Sofa Shop guitar solo on top of. of the big rocking horse. For the first time, you were going to see a couple of shots of what it all looks like. Massive, massive. This, I'm really, I'm so, I'm not just excited.

I'm proud. Proud of this. I would say, I'm not proud. I'm more disappointed. No. Wow. No, no, it is, it is everything you dreamed, people. All the footage was recorded.

It had been sent over. to me in a secure, on a secure encrypted USB stick, handcuffed to someone on a plane. And then I've started doing a little bit of editing and playing with it. And we're also thinking of creating a sort of a whole documentary around it, because this is like a big moment in music. So there's still more work to be done. But we've got the basic outline of a video ready. And for the first time, we're going to show you just a couple of clips of Tim

rocking it out playing the sofa shop. up on the big rocking horse. Anything, any last thing you want to say, Tim, before we roll tape? It will be short. Oh, look, well, I think it really speaks for itself. I think it's really great. But look, I've told Netflix, because there's quite a lot of these documentaries

being released at the moment of certain bands that while we're in conversation with them, I wouldn't let too much go. But a lot of it will be in the documentary when it finally comes out, whether it's Netflix or here, we'll see. Yeah. But I remain proud. All right.

Roll tape. Here we go. Wow. When's the last time you think there was this level of anticipation about a music video clip coming out? I would say, I don't think there ever has been, ever. No. No. Michael Jackson's thriller.

No. I don't think, because that was kind of caught people a bit off guard, whereas this is like, this has had more buildup. Okay. Michael Jackson's bad. Because they were... Yeah, I mean, that's probably the only one that's comparable. But I still think, I mean, that didn't have a rocking horse in it. No, it didn't.

No, it didn't. No, which surprised a lot of people. And probably why it didn't sell as much as thriller, I think, in the end. Yeah, I think, I think, whereas we've delivered on the rocking. We have. We have. Do you think that is enough reveals for a revealing episode? Yeah, that was too revelations.

a bunch of good spoons and a mini reveal, a mini reveal, a teaser really, of a wonderful film clip that's coming up on the rocking horse. That's a lot. That's a good meal. And Tim kept his shirt on. And I kept my shirt on, which is great. And I wonder if there are any frame spotters who notice the frames spotters who noticed the frames right at the beginning of the episode. I'm guessing not. And that's fair enough. I'll tell people something.

when Tim was the day Tim recorded the big rocking horse thing there you see he's wearing a leather jacket the same as slash wears in November rain which is of course for the we didn't completely join the dots there did we but this is a kind of a tribute parody to slash playing his solo in the film clip of November rain which had all the helicopter shots and stuff and in that he wears a leather jacket and nothing under the leather jacket I think he's just bare chested and the day Tim did the filming he was saying to me, what should I wear? What should I wear under the leather jacket? Should I go bare chested or t-shirt? And really, we were discussing between T-shirts, what T-shirt should he wear. But as a joke, it's sort of in between discussing what T-shirt he should wear, he sent me a picture of him completely bare-chested and bare-bellied in the leather jacket. He, like, texted to me. We had a laugh about it. And for our seventh reveal of the episode... No, no, no. I won't inflict that on anyone.

Or maybe I'll make it one of the collector cards. Maybe I'll make a collector card. It just suddenly comes out. Some poor innocent person opens their pack and inside is the Tim belly shot. Oh, man, that's a cruel joke. That's a cruel joke, that one. Awesome, man. All right, all right.

I think we're good.
