A listener production.

Activate your internet.

Because the Hamish and Andy podcast starts in three,

two.

it's the largest spider in the world by the jacket.

They're tiny, but the team of a thousand could take down a bird.

The largest spider in the world by mass, that's you.

Obviously, after your work with those peanut butter milkshakes.

Strong actually rarely preys on birds, but can take one down.

Yeah, it feels like something it did once as a dare.

Because there's just got to be easier stuff to eat.

Exactly.

That's like a nickname in high school.

You only have to do it once.

Yeah, people don't forget.

You're right.

People don't forget.

Once a jacky was seas you

no interest no interest no uh would not live for 20 years in my house

uh ahoy also to sam who went to uh hey mishandandy.com and uploaded what they've they've been up to.

Ahoy, Hey Mish, Andy, and Jack Post.

My name is Sam, and I live in Seattle, and I lost my voice.

But I have to stay true to the fast and loose lifestyle.

There's no time to let it heal.

I'm recording this now.

I wanted to say that I think Jack has been picked on a little too much over the past few years.

I don't think you deserve a Jack because, after all, you're just a little boy.

Andy, I really enjoyed watching your tall terrier from across the Pacific.

He seems to be doing well.

Hamish, SP, and I've said there.

Keep up the good work, boys.

Gusto be with you.

Gusto to you,

well.

Thanks to everybody who sends them in to dailyday.com.

Sam's calendar.

It must be so chalkers that he's just gone, you know, 9.08.

Do Hamish in any message.

Oh, but I've got laryngitis.

Well, we can't shift anything.

The day must continue.

No matter what I've got scheduled, it has to be this week.

Jack, sorry, can I just quickly ask something, Jack?

How do you feel?

I thought it was a beautiful moment when you shared that you say to your partner bianca i'm just a whittle boy

happy with that because it has

it is it is becoming yeah the new number one thing that people approach me with now on the street as well

i'm not doing it anymore no well as in on air or at home

both i'm not going to give you another one of those for free on air and i'm not doing that specific line at home anymore wow it's going to be confusing for gordy who is genuinely a whittle boy

I didn't say Whittle.

I think I'm pretty sure I had Little L in Little.

I wasn't a Whittleboy change over time.

I remember it as Whittle.

Hey, what also is this week impressing?

When this goes out, tomorrow will be ConCon.

It'll be welcome drinks and registrations.

So we should get to our last bit of organizing.

There's a cool new conference, no matter your beers.

Concon.

The conference's so nice you can deduct it once at a maximum.

Can't stress it enough.

Some quick fire things here, Ham.

First of all, the welcome drinks, which will go out, will be happening tomorrow when people hear this.

Got asked about what music we wanted to play.

I wondered whether we run with Henrietta's bath mix.

Oh, your dog's music list.

I can't remember what's on that bath mix.

Doesn't it go for like two hours or something?

Well, that's how long the drinks are.

Two to four.

Yeah, but what was the reason the dog's bath goes for that long?

No, the mix goes for that long.

The bath has to go for at least 10 minutes for the medicated shampoo to work.

What are some of the songs again on the mix?

Well, it's Lord, Solar Power.

And then there's this, I mean, Beck put most of it together, to be honest.

I can't say I'm immediately remembering that Lord song off the top of my head.

No.

I mean, we can go with something else.

I just thought it might be a suggestion.

Well, I mean, I mean, on the one hand, it's pre-made.

Yes.

That's good.

Jack.

Oh, here's an idea.

And I'm just

spitballing.

You know how we were talking the other week about like if and when we ever get cool boys in the front band back together.

Jack has has said, Oh, I've got a I've got a I do have a great song that we could play.

Would you make a two-hour mix and it's one of the songs?

Wow.

That's better.

The risk is then

everyone's coming

to get their passes and to have drinks, and you guys will be just sat listening to the

thing anyone says.

Like have women talking with the logis and they're looking over your head just to see if anyone more famous is in the room i will be very vague all right what about this you where i can guarantee you won't care about henry's

perfect background fodder

i'll be happy to make it it's up to you it could be a destruction is the only thing i still want to do it anda i want to do it Let's do it.

And now people coming will know this because I'd assume everyone coming to ConCon registration drinks on Friday.

They're downloading, you know, this episode I do on

Jack, we don't want to put too much on your plate because so you might have to outsource that by telling one of our crew the number, the song.

The song, yeah.

And then they, because Haim,

got the phone, we've got all the registers.

Yeah, I've already got it.

The WhatsApp is now available.

And

how does Jack want to kick off the WhatsApp?

is what is the question I have.

What do you plan for that, Jack?

Just a reminder.

How many total numbers in there again?

300.

Okay, so it will will be mostly

like people absorb my information rather than back and forth.

You realize you can do that on a WhatsApp.

You can just be the only person

that no one can actually write back.

I'll allow questions.

I don't think you should have write backs, Jack.

I mean, people have questions they need to ask.

Yes, but it's got to be a real question.

Don't be filling it up.

I'm sure it's not.

Don't be filling it up.

I mean, Carly will give you a big nod at this, but for anyone that's got kids in primary school, I mean, the class WhatsApp is 30 people.

Maybe the year-level WhatsApps, let's say, I don't know, 80 or 90.

Is there a year-level WhatsApp as well?

Yeah, you can have like the whole, all of year one WhatsApp for the parents.

That thing can get 90 messages in a day.

That thing can absolutely spiral.

We got 300 on this WhatsApp, Jack.

Just a grade hem.

Only question is.

Only real question is.

So you honestly don't know the address of the place, then say, what's the address?

And I'll tell you.

But don't don't be just filling it up because the risk you run, and this happens with my own family WhatsApp: if there's too much in there, if I go, if I went in there and there were 90 new messages, I'm skipping to the bottom and I'm not reading it.

So, real ones will get what if there's 90 real messages?

That's well, that's the risk you run.

What about this?

People, people will, you have to

put the prayer hands emojis next to your message if it's real.

And fingers crossed if it's like mucking around the edge.

don't do on the edge don't do on the edge

okay that's a good plan so that or like what else like a lock the padlock amazing to be like this is a solid question no i like the prayer hands i use that a lot and it it it's universal

thank you only put prayer hands on there only put prayer hands in like only write serious questions that you are writing to jack and jack you look for the prayer hands and you respond to them Because the good thing about the WhatsApp is if it's open, people do sort it out amongst themselves.

Like there could be some people helping you in there.

Yeah, if it happens, but don't go, but also be wary of doing too much back and forth amongst yourselves because as soon as it gets too busy in there, I will exit.

One question I have on behalf of everybody.

You just are bling down rules.

So you one.

I can't imagine a situation where you don't exit now.

One question I have on behalf of everybody is: will you remove anyone as administrator?

You can remove people from.

Will you kick anyone?

Oh, troublemakers, yes.

There you go.

Troublemakers, yes.

And I think people would prefer that I remove a troublemaker before removing myself.

Yeah.

And I, honestly, I go in with the best intentions.

I want it to be a useful tool that people can use for real questions they have.

And I want to be helpful to the conference.

I've heard that loud and clear.

Hey, you and I and Jack are the guest speakers at ConCon.

We're covering off everyone's industry that's coming.

Of course, that makes it tax deductible.

Check with your local accountant.

Or just your accountant.

It doesn't have to be a local one.

We all caught up via Zoom this week just to run one of our seminars past each other just to get a vibe and also to double check that they weren't too entertaining because we know that's a big no-no and farm.

It will affect the tax deductibility if it seems entertaining instead of educational.

Things

I'll say two things.

Things are definitely.

polish we can polish this even further before we launch the first session on

this morning we have already done

And

I think generally,

generally we're working well as a team.

This is how it went.

Morning all.

How are we?

Morning.

We're good.

Really good.

Great.

Nice to get all the speakers together.

Our time is 10.04 Friday, the 8th of November,

eight days out from ConCon.

Yeah, this is this, it feels, traditionally for me, this feels too early to go for a run-through for an event.

This sounds like a guy that has not done his homework, Jack.

Sounds like.

There's been text messages flying around all week.

All week.

No, no, I'm just saying.

This is great.

Good on us for getting such a jump on it.

Have you written them?

Written what?

Your seminars.

The whole thing.

Have you at least grouped them?

Yeah, that's what I thought we were doing, just coming in to confirm the groups.

We were going to present an idea of what we might say, just so

people get their money's worth, but also to make sure it's not too entertaining.

Yeah, no, that's not going to be a problem.

I think you know better than anyone, Andy.

I could say something now, but it will change by the day.

The inspiration always hits.

always hits me the day before.

Okay, what about slides?

What about accompanying visual aids for people's learning?

Yep, great.

Like we're going to need

bop me down for 10.

Of what?

Slides.

What's on them?

What's on them?

Infographics, photos, flowcharts,

explainers.

breakout bubbles, Venn diagrams of the topic of each seminar to relate to the seminar that I'm doing.

I will have something exciting to present for each seminar.

so you're making your own graphics are you

yep

i mean i've got a week what could go wrong

well we need graphics in by wednesday so you don't have a week

graphics in by wednesday what are you the head of the olympics

no he's right Every time you go to something where

it's got some form of like screen and A V inputs,

that's the biggest part where something can go wrong.

So I don't want you like hitting space bar.

Whoa, where's my graphics?

Where's my graphics?

Because they weren't in the middle of the video.

Yeah, we can't have a minute of you just searching for a graphic, mate.

Like, don't try and connect.

I'm not informed.

No, no,

I won't be doing that.

I'll get them.

Yeah, okay.

Graphics in by Wednesday.

Bloody hell.

Okay.

But are we making the graphics?

That is, that is a good question to ask.

Are we making them or are we saying jack if you're not making them who do you expect to make them i thought somebody on the radio team who oh like carl haven't worked in radio for seven years

i thought we would say like okay i need a pie chart that says 59 versus 41 and she would make i thought someone would make that Could we, yeah, great.

Do we have someone that's going to do that?

I mean, I just thought we had to sort of do our own.

Well, do we know how to make graphs?

This doesn't bode well for people putting on a conference.

Do we know how to make graphs?

This is, I imagine this is how Firefest.

I hope people that haven't bought tickets are listening to this.

So I hope they're not listening.

Yeah, so I'm going to the TED Talk next week.

It's really good, but I think I heard the organizers running around saying, does anyone know what a microphone is?

And where can we get one?

No, here's the thing.

I have grouped all mine together.

How many groups have you got?

I've got 15 seminars, 15 groups.

Jack, how many have you got?

I've got 12 seminars.

I've got 17.

Yeah, good for you.

One of my

number.

I was just saying my number.

One of my presentations is a big one, and I'll be building up to a very exciting mega moment.

So two of my other seminars are me surrendering my time for the mega moment.

So I'll just be going, it'll be a tease, it'll be more of an ad for the mega moment that's coming up in the second seminar.

Hang on.

So wait, we're doing one minute per seminar, and you want to take those minutes and put them.

So I'm just saying two of my 15, like let's say positions five and eight, are ads for the mega moment.

So you've got 13.

i've got 13.

13.

what do we need an ad for people at the seminar already it's to build excitement

it's to build excitement for the mega moment

just quickly are all your industries covered yes good mine too at the moment yes mine all mine are covered so yes you can use two of your moments for that's why i thought i actually did such a good job of grouping that i have found myself with a few slots spare so i can do two ads for the mega moment.

Okay, well, that's.

Can we play video?

I thought I had an, I thought I've got a few videos I might want to play.

If you're just playing highlights from Seinfeld or Simpsons or something, just to pass the time.

No, no, people do do that.

Quite often you go to a seminar and they'll play like a one-minute scene from Monty Python just as an icebreaker.

A friend of mine is a primary school teacher and sometimes when he doesn't have a lesson, he'll play Michael Jordan highlights on the projector.

Who's going to complain about that i do have a video at i have some video yeah yeah yeah yeah so it's funny you mentioned the michael jordan highlights thing i do have a clip of michael jordan highlights in one of my seminars

okay

thought about it all right by wednesday everyone has to have all of their groups so yeah so are you doing instead of a seminar where you get up and talk you're just playing something off youtube

stop talking just to say care no i was just saying it's like an easy way to do it if i had had known that, then I could have gone, oh, instead of construction, here's a video about construction that somebody else made.

Yeah, well, you can do that if you want, if you think it's the most educational, but not entertaining way to get your message across.

No, I'm banning that.

That does.

That's not what I'm doing.

I have video that supports the interesting points I'm making.

Do you know what I mean?

That's fine.

I'm banning here's how logistics works and a one-minute YouTube video.

And press play.

Yeah, press play.

I'm banning that.

I have a quick cooking demonstration for one of mine really do you need props

yeah i'll need the person that's doing the graphs whether it's cali or whatever to set up some uh yeah i need a small trestle table with some um cooking stuff that has to be on a list by wednesday you're on an absolute power trip with this wednesday

All right.

What's the idea for when somebody's on stage and we feel like they're not really doing what they said they would do?

We need some sort of like buzzer or something to stop them and go, this is either too entertaining or this is let's keep it cheery.

I think.

Yeah, you don't have to like, you don't have to police it.

It's not about like,

remember, we're a team up there, Jack.

Exactly.

I've never been to a conference where another speaker has yelled out, that's not very good.

So if Hades gets up and goes like, oh, irrigation is like doing a slam dunk.

Here's Michael Jordan.

We have to have a way to interrupt and interrupt and go,

this isn't what we said this conference would be.

Who gave you the power, mate?

Who gave you the power to be the policeman on what the conference is?

I actually think the nerve that's been touched in you is you've probably done like 25 minutes of work on this, and now you're frustrated to think that you could have not done that work and you could play Michael Jordan highlights.

I'm telling you,

I feel like I've spent two hours over the last couple of days on this.

Yeah, well, I feel like I've spent pretty close to that.

But if I happen to play a Michael Jordan highlight and I go, hey,

there's quite a lot of similarities between aerospace logistics and Michael Jordan.

Look at the way the bulls pass the ball around here.

That's the rest of the logistical chain.

If you're in aerospace logistics, and if you're the final delivery product, you're the Michael Jordan of the team.

You make sure you dunk it.

That's perfect.

Yeah.

And that's just one of the seminars I could play Jordan Highlight for.

Here's the rule.

Here's the rule then.

Everyone's allowed one video.

One existing video.

Yes.

There's a thing that I've got to film.

I've got to make a few original.

Oh, well, I mean, that's hard.

That's effort.

That shows effort.

Well done.

Oh, okay.

Now we guess who's back on my side.

Nice to have a co-host that is willing to permit me to do my work on this.

Jack, don't say well done.

He hasn't done it yet.

You guys get caught in a loop of saying you will do things and congratulating each other.

Congratulate him.

Feels good.

On Wednesday, he'll show us the video.

We'll see the...

I'm going to get my videos in by Wednesday.

Everything in by Wednesday.

All right, what about this?

You know how in the Harris-Trump debates, they muted the microphones when one person was speaking.

I think we keep all mics hot because I think if something is getting too entertaining, it does be judicious with your jump in.

But I think the other two need to keep the main person on track.

Because remember, the more entertaining it is, the less tax-deductible it is.

That's our read on this situation.

So come down hard on that.

Keep it informative.

Here's the worry.

Keep it supportive too.

You've got to keep it.

I think here's the worry generally with the way our team works is in the three of us it's just get off the bottom that's it's no one wants to excel it's just not be the worst let's come to it with a good spirit supportive spirit and energy yeah it's gonna be we try i've tried that

it's not

not in us not in us so we just need to yeah we need i've actually but if if we all

the mics can be turned come live after 30 seconds I think it's got to be the bat, like we've got to let people start.

Yeah, that's true.

Look, I'm the one that actually, I feel like, first suggested that we should be on the same team out there.

Remember, we've got 300 people we're trying to deliver education and business enhancement and development to.

Doesn't need to turn into an absolute WWF cage fight

because I don't think anyone will get an educational message out of it.

And to be honest, if the conference is a success, then everybody wins.

It's not about the individual individual wins.

This is just not the way TED Talks briefings go one week out.

Like

acting like it's this big victory that we've agreed not to destroy each other on stage.

So there you go.

We look forward to presenting all that on Saturday.

And of course, we'll catch everybody up on the podcast next week with how ConCom went.

If you are in fact going to ConCom we look forward to meeting you registrations of course be there for in the two hours allocated if you don't know the time just hit up the WhatsApp.

Yep the WhatsApp will start tonight remember

no troublemakers

hey one day you'll be a dog owner I feel

like I feel like it he'd I reckon he'd be a great you would love a dog I would love we've just got two kittens so yeah

how they going we never hear about them they're great I mean you know they're cats.

They're very, very cute.

You come in, flop on you at night, and yeah,

they're killing it.

Are they still peeing in the bed?

Timothy has not.

He has not peed on the bed for a while.

Is that after a visit from Chris Hemsworth to

Cat Whisperer?

We can't get onto Chris Hemsworth's cat whisperer.

She or he is booked solid.

But then we keep hoping we don't need.

the whispering anymore.

Well, you mightn't if Timothy's upped his.

But we also close the bedroom doors all the time.

It just seems to be beds that trigger that get him excited.

I mean I've been doing my own whispering.

Stop it.

Stop it.

Stop doing that.

Interesting thing that I've noticed amongst all dog owners, not sure if you and Bianca do this, Jack.

But when you take the dog for a walk, actually I'll do a little quiz with you.

Yeah.

You get back from the walk.

Yep.

I'll say, hey, Jack, how was the walk?

Is there information that you give me about what we happened?

on the walk?

No, not at all.

See, weirdly, Beck will do this.

Jess does this.

A friend of ours who sometimes walks a dog for us, Beck's parents, returns and I'll go.

And I've found myself doing it as well.

I go, How's the walk?

Yeah, did two poos in a wee.

Like,

you just report for some reason what their business they did.

I think it's because if they're an ins predominately inside dog.

Oh, it's good to know the telly.

No, it's good to know there's not another one owing.

Yeah, yes.

Your house is kind of safe.

And it seems to be a report that I get back from many people who

walk dogs.

Inside dogs more so because do you always have to know where you're up to in the cycle?

Very much so.

Yeah, I mean, with cats, God, cats are just

here.

Squid, squid, squid, squid, squitch.

You know, they just take themselves off and do their business.

Yeah.

No, dogs, obviously.

if you don't have a doggy door, which you do,

no, you've got to be well aware.

Wake up in the morning and let them out.

That type of thing.

Darcy's always in trouble for it.

He's been under the microscope for it.

Yeah.

You're doing this, Jess, aren't you?

Jess, give me a thought.

Darcy's Darcy's raced around.

Come on in, Darcy.

You have to do the same thing.

Yeah, I always let him or let Jane know how many poos he's done.

And my parents, when they're looking after him, take great pride in describing the poo.

See, so it is.

It's a clear audit where you just say, yeah, you did two poos in a wee, and everyone goes, oh, great.

And that's...

And I wondered how that would play out if humans took the same approach to their day and chatting to their loved ones.

Hi.

Yeah, good, mate, yourself?

Not bad.

What are you up to today?

Just popped over to Florence because Roscoe's cutting down the hedge around the

tennis court.

Yeah, nice.

I just got back for a walk and did two poos and a wee and then that's pretty much been my day.

Very good.

Yeah thanks.

Andy's brother.

Hey buddy, how are you?

Yeah good.

Just got back from a walk, did two poos and a wee.

Nice.

Yeah.

Bec's parents.

Hey, how are you?

Hey Lee, how are you mate?

Good.

How's your day?

Good, yeah.

The casual, the sun out.

Nice one.

Yeah, I just got back from a walk.

You there, Gabs?

Yeah, I'm setting up faster.

That's okay.

Yeah, that's alright.

I was just checking in.

I was just got back from a walk.

Did I had a big day?

Did

two poos and a wee.

That's a good day.

Andy's mum.

Hello?

Hey, mum.

Hi, you tried to bring me?

Yeah, yeah.

How are you going?

I'm well, I'm well, I'm well.

So where are you?

I'm at home.

Just went for a walk

this morning and did two poos and a wee.

Good, good, good on you.

I'm envious of that.

Really?

Okay.

I mean, good response from mum.

I'm envious of that.

I mean,

I mean, as a sentence, it's a strange one, of course, to share your um to share your load and what you've achieved.

But but if anyone saying I did two poos in a small window is quite phenomenal.

Like, if what have you done for the last hour?

I did two poos.

Okay,

I think what you mean is you might have done one interrupted

because

that's just not how the cycle works.

Boys.

Got an email to my side of the fence during the week.

A cry for help.

Well, a very, I look at Caught Maya because it was a, it was a confession.

It was full of hope.

It was full of joy, but this is a young man that needs our help.

His name's Michael.

I love this.

And anyone can reach out, HamishNady.com.

You'll get one of Hamish or I.

We split them.

So it's a surprise for the other.

This one came in from Michael, you say?

Yeah, we're here for you.

And Michael, he's an exciting time in his life because he's picked up a new hobby.

And as someone that's picked up a few in my time, I was like, mate, you've come to the right spot.

This is, how can I help you?

You've let him go, though.

Well, nothing.

There have been some slippery hobbies.

But you're talking to a man, and I'm not making this up, that within the last week has fished, done archery, played a lot of online chess.

played golf and bike ridden.

And I'm like, as a snapshot of one, I looked at him and I'm like, seven days, over seven days,

this is a man that's interested in getting fingers in pies not not having them move away and so I was like what are you doing Mike maybe I'll take it up with you I read on

the hobby he has taken up is digital bird collecting

he said he admits he says look This is where I began to cool a little, but it's all right.

He admits digital bird collecting sounds very uncool.

He says, yet I can't escape the feeling and excitement that hits me every time I add a new bird to my very own collection.

It's done through an app, and you simply take a photo of the bird in the wild, and then with the app, and the app's impressive bird database,

it identifies it for you, and you add it to your personal digital bird collection.

I think I wouldn't mind doing this.

It's not as bad as I.

At first, I thought it was like Pokemon Go, where you were finding fake digital birds.

Yeah, yeah,

speaking of Peter Outs, our short-lived or our medium-lived digital horse racing

that we have.

I don't know what happened with the money on that.

we were robbed

yeah i mean the case i'd love the case to still be open because it gives the sniff that they the money could come back but i think the case is very much closed with a total profit um tally next to it that says minus there is a minus dollar amount to that anyway we're fleeced and we had a good old time um but no this is real birds so you're taking and i've actually seen

we were talking about this before like we're talking about with web keys and chairs He's doing it, right?

So this might just be out there and going on at the moment.

So you take a photo of the bird or whatever and you log it.

Anyway, he, the problem is, Michael's going, look,

I'm, he's obviously really captivated by this and good on him.

He's found something that speaks to his heart.

But he's like, I have, he's never shown any interest in bird watching or cataloguing avian life.

He's, he goes, my friends.

We're into sport.

He said sport consumes 80% of the conversation within the group.

Digital bird collecting, he he says, is completely in a different realm to this.

And I'm very worried about bringing the new hobby to the group.

That's why he's come to us.

He's like, I have, I'm in love with something.

Doesn't say it, but we can ask him ourselves because we've got him on the line.

Michael, ahoy.

Ahoy, boys.

How are you going?

Good, Michael.

Mate, we're great.

First of all, first question I got to ask is, have you got any birds today?

No birds today, but the collection has grown to a total of eight, which is exciting.

Eight.

Oh, my God.

I see small.

I see more than eight birds a week.

Oh, my God.

Well, well there's only 13 in the world so you need you're halfway there no but you've got to get different birds jay you can't just get down to the beach and see you at eight birds today

i can find eight in an hour

i know well marco don't listen to him run us i mean i was i was gonna at the start of this go well you probably can't list all of the birds you've seen but you actually

yeah take us through your full age magpie pigeon

just to clarify like i'm not going out specifically searching for birds.

Like, I'm just going to be on the right.

Yeah, unless you lived underground.

Yeah.

No, you're just going about your real life.

And should you come across a bird, it gets catalogued.

Can I have a stab at what you've got?

Magpie.

The magpie's on there, yes.

Yeah, pigeon.

Seagull.

Seagull's got to be on there.

Seagull's on there.

Yep.

The common rock pigeon.

That was my first.

You never forget your first.

Sparrow.

No.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

I'm going to go to the dream world today, actually.

I think hopefully I'll add that one today.

Minor.

In the dream world.

Yeah, Indian minor bird.

That's going to be there.

Oh, yeah.

I think it's called the common minor bird, but yeah, that's a common minor.

What about like a crow or a

crow?

Yeah, I think crow is one of them.

And then I think the last one you haven't mentioned is the yellow-crested cockatoo.

A personal favourite.

No, that's a good one.

See, now we're getting into premium birds.

I see one every day.

A cocky.

Yeah, well, it just depends.

I mean, it depends if you're in the area.

Yeah, the other challenge with it is that you need to actually get close to the birds for the app to register what bird it is.

Oh, how close?

You sort of have to get within about,

I'd say four or five meters.

Like any further away, it's when you zoom in.

I'm in touch with the common man.

I've only got an iPhone 11 camera.

Right.

Yeah.

So, yeah, otherwise it just looks like a big.

blur of nothing.

Yeah.

And okay, so it relies on a bit of AI.

So if you're walking, like, let's say you're going to the bus stop or whatever, or you're like going to work,

will you deviate off your path to get closer to a bird?

Like, is it drawing you away that much?

If you saw, you know, like a Rosella or a good bird,

would you go looking?

For a rare bird, I would.

If I see a common pigeon, I'm not deviating.

Have you thought about how much is this hubby taking over you?

Because it feels at the moment with only eight birds, an eight bird score.

It feels like you've just dipped the tip of your beak in here

and it feels like it could be a massive peter out.

And in which case, I would be very nervous bringing it up with your group of friends.

Well, that's the thing.

Like,

I think it might peter out if I, you know, if I don't get the sense that this is a cool, acceptable hobby to keep going with.

So I guess

I think I requested in my email to Hamish that...

maybe i mean i'm i'm a big fan of some of the work jack has produced and the jingles you've done so if i could get something that sort of amps it up, makes it look cooler than it is,

term of friends.

What about this?

This is my favorite kind of thing we can do on the show, which is offering a really beautiful gesture from the Hamish Shannon Show, but all the work's done by Jack.

What if we offer you an absolute original Jack Post classic song?

about how great digital bird collecting is.

And then also you mention sports, like, you know, you guys talk about sports a lot.

like what if we could get us like a sports star that meant something to the group oh yeah what then and they endorse what are they into oh that'd be awesome yeah every everyone's in a cricket um cricket rugby league so so if we could get a cricket player to talk about um how great digital bird collecting is um would that help the cause Boys, that would be unreal.

If you could do that, I don't think I'd ever give up the hobby.

Here's how I think you should do it.

I think you should go to the group first.

and tell me what you think about this ando he goes to the group first and goes guys

i just what i want to like reveal to the group i've been doing digital bird collecting i'm really into it i've got eight so far but i dream of low 20s um

and then there'll be some probably some stickering and some you know some gentle questioning then you go all right well watch this space guys because within a week i'll prove to you it's cool so then on the next then after you do that michael then on the show ando we get my we get michael and a few of his mates up and then we have our, you know, our greetings.

Rather than an endorsement, because it might seem like a paid post.

Yeah, like a cameo.

Should we see if we can get a cricketer to record a video as if they're doing it, like they are participating it naturally rather than down the barrel?

Like, so it's like, okay.

So it's like a sister or brother going, hey, what are you up to there?

Mitch Stark.

And he's like, oh, sorry, I think I've just caught a kookabara.

Yeah.

That does sound like a paid endorsement for a cricketer.

But you know what I mean?

Or do you think it's better with like a personal down-the-barrel endorsement?

I just, I just, you know, I just wonder whether that's.

What about if, Michael, if we got like, say it's Mitchell Stark, Australian fast bowler, if we got him to,

or whoever, to send you a message, Mike, going, hey, Mike, you know, I got your number from

the app, Digital Bird Club.

I just wanted to let you know I'm in it too.

Like, if you're in town, like, let's, let's, let's hunt some feather together.

boys it sounds good to me michael we'll get onto all of that and um we'll be sure to circle back particularly by the end of the year if you you don't let this peter out we won't let this peter out and we will make digital bird collecting cool for you we hope okay sure boys what's on what's an acceptable number of birds to come back to the show with oh you have to be in the 20s all right

I saw that aren't mate.

You're the one that's

going to be a little bit more.

You have to get close close to them though you have to get really close on your phone i think i think it's the best way to start well i i mean did you say you're at dream world today yeah oh i'm at dream world yeah oh but you have birds yeah hey

that's the beauty of outside you never know where they're going to pop up birds are for the real go to a zoo you

no no that feels too forced okay okay i did love the realization there that man you know how exciting it adds to any activity you're doing outside there could be birds there

michael uh good luck we'll be back in touch all right thanks boys had a good one on you mate

i know it's a few weeks ago now not that long ago a couple weeks ago but i've just been slightly biding my time to see if any more information comes out but are you across the did you see the tesla robots the optimus yeah robot the humanoid deal about that so they look really too much like the robots from iRobot that's a that was one issue I had and they're evil robots aren't they in iRobot

eventually yeah yeah but they like so if you're going to make a robot they have a switch and they have a switch please and so that's the first thing you say anyone get rid of the good bad switch like just keep them good keep them good um but yeah so if you're going to make a robot don't make it look like the ones that tried to kill humanity yeah don't don't make it look like t1000 like no please like be yeah give it make it a bit friendlier but it is pretty it is pretty similar

i don't know know if how much people have seen them i haven't found any other stuff except that initial launch video so maybe more stuff's coming out in the interim but from what we could gather yeah they're like a humanoid robot elon wants them to cost about thirty thousand dollars us

you know and when you know to get the price down he sort of just wants one in every house and the big seller was like look They'll just do whatever you want them to do.

They're like, they can play games with you.

Like one of the, one of the, on the video, they're all playing like

playing Monopoly together.

And I'm sitting there going, I have a machine that plays games with me.

It's a PS5.

And

it does a better job than just being the guy that pops the pop-up bubble on trouble next.

Yes.

You don't want to get a robot for board games.

But you know, weirdly, you bring this up, Ham, because the first person I thought at was you, Jack.

Yeah, but I think the fun of playing board games is...

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

you're always looking to burn 60 grand on the board game, partner.

No, about a robot to do things for you.

You could go, but I'm just a little boy.

now

but i'm just a little human boy

nowhere near as capable the robot he did do dishes like dude like that's what they're saying around the house they're saying he'll do chores right so already rumbas are like oh god okay we're out of a job but like and but then it was stuff like

the slightly odd thing was then he like at the party he had the the robot was handing out drinks to people yeah i think it's just gonna take a little while like oh that's okay mate i might actually i'll make my own like i

don't thousand percent trust what this robot's giving me to drink.

Yes.

The other thing is, they move a bit slow.

Yeah.

It's a bit on the slow side.

So it's like, it can fold the washing.

And when you see it, like,

there's a bit of you that goes, all right, mate, just I'll do it.

Like, it's not quite the speed.

I suppose

you can go and do something else.

Yeah, like while you're away, I mean, if even if it worked eight times slower than me, if I was out for the day off doing the pod with you guys, if I came back and a bunch of those, that stuff would be done.

That'd be good.

All right.

How's this?

So you come back and you go, you go, hey, did you fold all the washing?

Did you fold all the dogs' outfits?

And it goes, sure did.

And you go, did you do anything else?

It goes, no.

Oh.

And this robot's been in your house all day.

Robot, why did you pause?

Processing.

Well, you processed everything else very quickly, including your response to that.

Battery's a bit like.

But you seem to be firing off defensive.

Yeah, CPU's back up now.

Glitch.

Just a glitch.

Okay.

All good, man.

Okay, were you up to anything while I was away?

No.

It's just, I mean, coming back to the robot, the biggest strange one, I think, for me was like, it can look after your kids was another.

He's like, not yet.

Not quite yet.

Don't worry, guys.

The robot's here.

And especially if it's a friendly robot.

Like, if something happens, someone tries to break into your house and the kids, I suppose it's just as bad if a human babysitter's there, but I don't know.

feeling like the robot's going to do anything is, I think, texty kids, you mean?

This is the one, this is the one that got me the most.

Where it's like,

this is where I was like, this is where I think Elon's like vision of utopia might not mesh with reality.

When it's like, it can walk your dog, right?

So you're sending it out of the house now on chores.

And the other one was like, it can just go and get groceries for you.

So you'd be like, okay, Optimus, yeah, go and get us two liters of milk.

In my experience, right, if you said go and get you two liters of milk and the robot just, okay,

like walks off out the door and he's off.

It's probably going to take him two hours to walk to the shops, get the milk.

You see him walking up and down the aisles, like looking for milk, going to check out and stuff.

Let's not forget, like we, you know, about 10 years ago in Melbourne, we were all living there and they had their first go at the city bikes at the limelight.

Everyone threw him in the yarrow.

Everyone threw him in the river.

Sydney had a similar thing where people were just chucking him in the ocean okay because then you go on the app and you see they're all they're all like there's a pile of them in the river

if you see a robot walking along the street

i mean a thousand percent people are picking the robot up and chucking it in a tree

especially if you're like this is from some guy that's got 60 grand to burn on a milk messenger

like a hundred percent you're strapping it to the tree

like bot napping will be outrageous Or even, I suppose if you kidnap it, they could track you.

But you tell me this.

Don't just tie it to a tree or like push it over.

Push it over.

Like

I'm not trying to encourage this by any means.

And I hope we live in a society where we're not doing this to other people's property, I guess.

But what would be the offense you'd get charged with if you tie the robot to the tree?

I just don't.

Like, it'd be the same.

Like, what's the charge?

Because it's not a human.

It doesn't have like rights.

You haven't assaulted someone.

If you took my microwave and tied it to the tree.

It's the same thing.

It's the same thing.

Until the law catches up and starts giving robots some weird rights, it's the same as if I just happened to tie your bike to the tree, which is not jailable and very funny.

That's the biggest problem.

Hey,

it's obviously our last break before ConCon next week.

Only two more weeks until the government mandated break.

Final things for ConCon, we we should quickly point out.

True.

We've had a great show today, but you're right.

I mean, our minds are on ConCon.

It's this weekend for people going.

But even if you're not going,

you know what will happen this weekend, and you know that next week's show will be the full wrap-up.

Yep.

You've got a treat for everybody at the Welcome Trings.

Oh, I thought I'd mention this, but maybe I just mentioned it off air to Ando.

the people's the show's preferred magician yep magic mark hashtag not a stripper um magic Mike is going to come.

He's agreed to come to the

registration drinks and Rome

and do some educational magic.

That's educational.

Well, as I was about to say, he's going to do some magic for people at the registration drinks.

I realized that could come across as entertaining.

Yes.

And so, you know, he's going to, he'll have a business.

Yes.

He'll have a business edge to each magic trick.

Each magic trick will be a metaphor about business.

Perfect.

And does he know that or are you just saying that?

He's about to find out.

The other thing is we've heard back from Conrad Sewell, who has laid down the song for us.

So we thought we'd leave you this week with this little taster ahead of the live version.

And maybe you can remember the lyrics because I'm sure there'll be some singing along once we get to ConCon.

This is a great idea, though, Andrew.

We put the song out now.

It's like listening to the album on the way to the concert.

Yep.

Like people will listen to this.

And if you are coming to ConCon, like the atmosphere in there at the end of both session one and session two where he plays the same thing again, it's going to be electric.

Different kind of love is his song.

Following the plan outlined above is ours in conjunction with him.

And this is the business version.

How did we end up here without eyes filled with tears?

Can we leave like we're young again?

Only you know the sheets we've been through.

We survived COVID plans, back in black again.

You're the missing link in my supply chain.

When it drops profits straight down the drain,

I wouldn't go changing management, no.

We can offer more internships,

and I'll never let you forget.

I think it's time to make some.

Hey,

I know the global market.

As long as we're together,

following this plan down line above.

Following this plan down line above.

No other way to say it.

Nobody knows it better.

Following the plan down line above.

Following the plan down line above.

Following this plan down the line above

There's planned down the line above
