2024 Ep 259 - "Why Do I Do Some of the Things That I Do?"

A listener production.

Activate your internet.

Because the Hamish and Andy podcast starts in three,

two.

Sorry, still buffering.

One.

Ahoy to me Igneous.

Hey, Mish.

Rock on baby.

I think I know who we are.

Ahoy to me, sedimentary, Jack.

I'm so annoyed that Hamish got it straight away because I actually overheard Mike at a dinner party on the weekend telling somebody that the next one is going to be rocks and I put that in my back pocket ready to impress everybody.

Mike!

Mike's at dinner party.

I mean Mike's at dinner party.

It's hard to be saying this that there's a there's on sports bet we can there's there people bet which one's going to be every time people play it very hard.

Yeah.

Okay.

And so that's.

You're like the Wordle guy the night before going, hey, I'm doing Wordle for the New York Times.

Guess what?

It's chips.

Also, he doubled down on how hard it was.

Without any irony, I heard him telling somebody that after his girlfriend goes to sleep, he could stay up an hour or two hours after she's asleep.

Thinking of things that connect with each other.

Thinking of connections and categories.

Oh my gosh.

Mike.

My gosh.

Were you at a dinner?

Was anyone at the dinner party?

Did they have

an impressive job?

Was Mike trying to talk up his, the difficulty of his job?

He just

people who've heard the podcast and heard that Mike complains about that section of it were saying like, but in real life, it's not that hard.

And Mike says, no, you don't understand.

It's the hardest bit.

Start to go fund me.

I am, of course, metamorphic.

We are rocks.

Thank you.

I like that Jack's sedimentary too.

Hey, of course, you can always go to hamestene.com and upload a bit of audio, very easy to use, better than a WhatsApp, of what you've been up to.

And Charlie in London did exactly that.

Ahoy boys.

This is an Aussie abroad here, currently on a gap year.

Just thought I'd let you know that I've tried to adopt Jack's ploy on my own partner.

But I'm just a little boy.

I can't confirm this doesn't work when she wants to go shopping and I want to watch the NBA playoffs in a sports bar.

Not sure about that one, number six.

I also have a TIG one booked for a Scottish road trip.

Wow, it.

Couldn't believe car rentals could get their hands on such a scarce, glorious vehicle.

Wow.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers, boys.

Oh, I mean, extra points if you get a shot of a Tig One in front of the Loch Ness Monster.

You do the Scottish road trip.

Two of the rarest beasts on Earth.

I think the only possible explanation is that it's the owner's car that has had it like

the owner of the car rental place.

Yeah, the owner of the car rental place who is lending it out to make a bus because there's no way.

On the form, they'll often have, you know, do you want this, Tiguan, one or similar now then you click through and it'll go look obviously we put that on as a joke you hum you can't get a deal you'll get sorry yeah sorry to get your hopes up but we you'd be like the batnabile or similar like we we obviously can't give you that yeah we'll try our best

oh boy like well jack how is i'm just a little boy going i have not said it again since it's been

used on the podcast a brave thing for you to do no i always look back at that i look back at that it was reckless it was reckless for you certainly to put it out there but i look back back at that moment and go, what are we to do with this?

We were all a bit shocked really.

I've saw the video of it the other day.

I was like, what are we to do with this?

Wowie.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That was all we had to do.

Thank you for a decade of references.

Is Bianca aware that you're now no longer using...

Should be rattling a little bit.

Yes, and actually, what she had to say about the clip that went out was you didn't even do the full baby boy voice that you do in real life.

Really?

Please, please.

I can't.

I can't.

Come on.

I do love you and I love the show, but I shouldn't even have even said that.

Why did you?

Why did you?

There's a red line right there.

You know full well what you're doing.

What?

Come on, give us the full baby boy.

No, no, I can't.

Please don't write.

Don't tell me.

Does that involve a bonnet and a ruffle and he's giving us enough?

I think

by the end of the year.

By the end of the year.

Now I'm shocked.

By the end of the year, it it would be nice to see the full baby.

If at the last show, if you can, I don't know, go to some kind of confidence school or something like that.

Just listen to some affirmations.

Do an hour ska journey or something.

You're ready to do it.

That would be amazing.

Hey, I actually had one the other day.

I was like, oh, this is one of, I haven't told the fellas, but it is all the time.

For the, while we're still talking about jokes, you're partner that is not careful.

Anytime Zoe asks Siri something, I'll try and get in first.

Like if she goes, you know, hey, Siri, how many inches in two minutes?

She'll go, hey, Siri, and I'll go, yes.

And she'll be like, no, no, don't annoy, like, cause she doesn't want extra voice, but she'll go, how many inches or whatever.

And I'll just try as fast as I can to be like, you're 48 or so, roughly 48.

She loves it.

Hey, while we're on the topic of Jack,

Jacko pains me to bring this up, but I feel I must report it to the group.

Okay.

And I wouldn't do so without evidence, but I have the evidence in front of me.

It involves, although it wasn't brought to my attention by,

preferred magician and good friend of the show, Magic Mike.

Hashtag not a stripper.

Yes.

Magic Mike, actual magician.

Great magician.

He is a friend of all of ours.

He visited you recently.

Yes.

He went from Sydney, where he lives in Magics, to Melbourne.

He's able to travel anywhere to do gigs, though, by the way, if you're interested in getting Magic Mike.

And

then, yeah,

if you've got a room that can have a smoke bomb go off in it, he can come.

This is where we pick up the story, though.

He obviously played golf with you in Melbourne.

Yes.

Oh,

great.

Look at Jack trying not to give anything away in the witness stand.

Yes.

Correct?

I have a memory of that, sir.

This is like, this is like when

Greg gets interviewed on succession in front of the statistics setting committee.

He then, he obviously bought with him golf gear

and he bought

a

feller's golf that's the brand quarter zip top yes that he left he accidentally left it in melbourne did you return it to him not yet

do you have an intention if it please the if it pleased the court andy i to answer your question i say i i put to you that jack does not have an intention to return it to mike do you like the jacket?

I started golf this summer, and so I've not yet had a chance to purchase any winter

over-the-top wear.

But, sir, you did not purchase this.

So, I have been finding it chilly on the golf course, and it's right there in my golf bag where Mike left it.

And I have been wearing it.

It's like do you intend to return it?

When you house at my house instead of wearing my clothes, he doesn't mind.

He doesn't mind the clothes, weasel.

Do you intend to return it, sir?

I,

In a way, yes.

I thought that we could both benefit from.

Well, I have here a screenshot of the direct message.

Hang on, hang on, hang on.

What's happened here?

I have here a screenshot of the direct message that Jack sent to the makers of the quarter zip tom.

No.

Fellas Golf.

It says, hey, guys.

Why do I do some things that I do?

Yes, yes.

That's what you want to hear on on the witness stand.

If you're the prosecution and the defense witness does that, you just go, guys, book a big steak dinner for tonight.

I think it's a lot of week guys.

He's roasted.

Okay.

Jack sends the DM to the golf company and he goes,

Mike had already told me that he got the quarter zip for free.

I think he knows that.

I think he's friends with the guys that started this golf brand.

So then you could easily go to Mike.

Oh, I'm interested in one of these.

Can you connect with your friend?

But no, you went to the front of the field.

Look at the three-man weave that Jack thought of.

Hey, guys, can you do me a favor?

My friend Magic Mike was gifted one of your grey long sleeve golf tops and he left it in my golf bag when he was in Melbourne last.

Now he wants me to post it back to him.

Problem is, I've started wearing it and I enjoy it too.

Like, as if that means

who should own it now?

Because we both enjoy it.

So, can you send him a replacement so I can keep his original laughing emoji?

Love Jack.

No, please.

No prefacing that this would be a weedie.

Huge request.

Good point.

Wow.

Problem.

Problem.

Problem is,

I also like it.

Yeah.

How do we solve this?

You seem to have a warehouse full of them.

Would you like to solve the problem by giving Mike a replacement?

So in your objective, I can imagine you're thinking like, oh, Mike wins out of this because he gets a brand new one.

That's right.

And then I get to keep the one that he previously had.

Did they write back?

How did you get on to it?

How did you get that?

The guys from...

Fellas Golf have written saying, Gusto to you, I write with a concern.

Oh, no.

They said, I've driven Fellows.

They said they would look after it.

Jack's weaseling has taken a dark evolution.

Instead of the light-hearted cry for free peanut butter he's known for, he's turned to committing crimes

and he's leveled up his weaseling.

And then they said they'd like.

But it's worked, has it?

Are they sending it out, Jack?

That's what they told me they would look after Mike getting a new one.

Well, say right here, I'm hoping

an intervention might save future victims from this happening.

So So here's a question for me.

You've got the outcome you want.

You've got some embarrassment, I hope.

Has it been worth it?

No.

Okay.

No.

We'll see.

Will you do it again?

No.

You don't want to, but you might.

I don't want to.

I put the laughing emoji in there so they know that it's like, aha, just mucking around.

And then they said that they would actually do it.

You know exactly what you're doing.

just

knocking around this is a formal request though

and also i don't i hear the bell but if we have time for it mike's one is a bit small for me if they would

extra large extra large

and

these continue to roll in and you know i the last thing i want in the world is to upset you

and 20 years of evidence

but then sometimes it seems to be what the people want to do um so let's see if some of these upset you

everything is neat and practical

because that's the way he likes it but what if it wasn't

upset andy what can i self-report yeah you can self-report on one something that's upsetting me at home um

And we're in a rental at the moment, and the cupboard space in the bathroom is limited.

Yep.

And it's

quite a short cupboard.

And Beck realized that she can only get her deodorant in and a few other items if she takes the lid off.

And it just sneaks in.

It just gets in.

So that's nice.

But also just seeing

a littlest deodorant.

It shouldn't matter.

It shouldn't matter.

Is it a roll-on or a spray?

I guess that.

It's a spray.

Then it's fine.

Oh, yeah.

Roll-on would matter because you're losing half a sphere

half a sphere

unless you're continuously going in there to move the sphere around to keep it lubed up well then it's even worse then you yeah wouldn't it you'd keep losing it be evaporating you're evaporating half a sphere of dosage

but a spray should not matter

no but but you don't like seeing an uncapped no there's a cap there for a reason looks nice

only the reason for capped deodorant is just for travel really

yeah it's true and if i mean it shouldn't matter It should matter

as we find out with all of these.

Yola, Yola, ahoy.

Ahoy voice.

Ahoy to you.

What have you got to upset Andy?

So I recently went to Ikea and bought a chest of drawers.

It turns out that IKEA only included one of the two backing panels in the box.

A rare mess.

Yeah.

So instead of going back to Ikea to ask for the missing piece.

Who's got time for that?

Exactly right.

I eventually just nailed the one panel I did receive in the middle of the drawers so that both sides

were 50 covered in the middle and thus felt included yes um although it does mean there is now a 25 gap on both outer sides but i assume i assume oh i know you don't like it but here's the way you make it work when you put you've obviously got two sides of drawers when you put things in do you favor do you squeeze squash them squash the stuff to the middle so it's kind of using the back and it less stuff's going to fall out the back well i just figured that um something just needed to be there there.

So there was some unauthorized screwing of nails in unauthorized places.

A gesture.

It just needs a gesture of back.

What about hard up against the wall?

Creating a back might have looked a bit neater.

It is up against the wall, but I felt like it needed a secondary wall, if that makes sense.

Yeah.

All right.

Definitely upsets me.

Anytime you're nailing something from IKEA that specifically doesn't have nails,

you know,

you've gone rogue and now you're on your own.

Thanks, Yola.

Jake.

Jake, have you got something to upset, Andy?

Ahoy.

Ahoy, sir.

So recently we found out that one of my mates, when he orders an Uber, instead of typing in the address, he will drop a location fine, a pin,

which I'm fine with, but only when you get the location right.

So he

said when he goes, this is where we're off to, he'll just guess the pin or he'll just sort of pop the pin loosely where you're going.

What?

So you scroll down to the bottom and there's an option to set location on the map.

And we're heading to Perth Stadium once and you can get dropped off at a bridge at East Perth and walk across.

But instead, the Uber took us to an industrial zone next to the freeway bridge.

And when we asked him how we got there, he said, I knew it was near a bridge, but I guess I got the wrong bridge.

I hate that.

It's also a rare one.

A rare one that takes longer.

A rare upsetting that's actually taking longer to increase complexity.

But a good one.

A good one.

No, he wouldn't laugh.

He knew it was near a bridge.

Yeah.

God, far out.

Six days in the Uber.

Sydney Harbour Bridge.

That does seem a long way away.

Haley.

Haley, have you got something to upset, Andy?

Hello.

Yes, I do.

So, yeah, when my partner Thomas and I, we moved into our first rental years and years ago, and we didn't have any of our own plates.

So my parents had a set of old plates in storage.

So we thought to save money, we'll grab those.

And we found out that the plates were these very large square plates, which didn't quite fit into the microwave.

So they do fit if you put them in squarely, but as soon as you turn the microwave on,

rotate.

So they just don't spin in the microwave, which means that the food doesn't really heat very evenly.

Oh, just have to blast it a bit more than the microwave.

Yeah, exactly, exactly.

We just take it out, give it a bit of a stir, put it back in.

With enough time, nothing can survive in a microwave.

I don't like that either.

I have a problem with things that don't rotate in the microwave.

I know it doesn't really matter.

Do you put them on the outside or do you put it on the inside?

Do you put a bowl on the outside so it gets more rotation?

No, if you're not.

I've seen people do that trick.

I'm dead middle.

Is it better to go in the outside?

No, I would, because then the outside of the bowl would stay, but get hotter than the inside of the bowl, wouldn't it?

Because doesn't the microwaves come from the side?

The microwaves come from the side.

I think they come from all sides.

Well, I tell you what, I'm yet to master my.

Here's what I would like to know about microwaves, not what we're talking about, but what is the setting that means my bowl is scorching hot and the chili conchart is freezing?

Every time I get sitting out of the micro, I'm like, I can't hold this bowl, but the food has remained untouched.

I think, I mean, obviously, I think it's just the

whatever the bowl's matter, the ceramics is going to heat more quickly.

But it shouldn't, because I think micros actually heat water.

That's what they're programmed to do.

They're programmed to agitate water.

So you got soggy bowls.

That must have high water content.

So you can get up to like 1400 watt microwaves these days.

Must be nice.

And so this is, again,

it's definitely an upset Andy, but Beck will put things in like the rice, like, but she doesn't read the pack, and it's actually, they say on 1800 watts, do it for

two minutes.

So, if you put it in for 1400 watts, two minutes, it comes out just explosive.

So, you should calm it down, the microwave.

Depending on the what it is.

Depending on the what is.

No one's got time for that.

No one ever.

No one's got time for that.

See, I mean, I feel sorry for Haley.

And look, the thing is,

an upset Hamish is a square plate.

Just don't try and change the game where it doesn't need to be changed.

There are some areas I'm very welcome for game changing.

We didn't need to change plates up.

Round works.

So I'm going with you.

Matt, Matt, finish us off.

One more thing to upset Andy.

Hello, boys.

How are we?

Very good, mate.

Excellent.

So this was a couple of months ago, and this got me absolutely red hot.

So I don't know how you're going to go, Ando.

But I was house-sitting my brother and his partner's house for a couple of weeks

and in one of their drawers in the kitchen they've got a bunch of glassware it's more like your champagne flutes and yeah not your sort of everyday glasses yeah right

secondary glass secondary glasses I don't like it in a drawer to begin with just you know

not off to a good start then

particularly champagne glasses they're too tippy they're too tippy yeah you're adding a anyway yeah we all know.

So some of the glasses in there were like Sunday glasses, which are sort of like martini glasses, but like the glass is a little bit thicker.

And the lip of them is uneven.

Like, I guess it's like a decorative thing.

But what they've done is they've put them in the drawer with the lip side down, the uneven side down.

Yes.

So when you open the drawer, they're all like wobbling around and bashing into each other and making a huge racket.

Yeah.

I mean, A, take them out of the drop.

B, like you said, if they're meant to be kind of this new fan angle designer

leap.

You and your new glasses and the you Gen Z in their new glasses.

They've got some similar ones recently, which are like uneven on the top, like by design.

Yep.

And like, then they're all handcrafted.

Who cares?

Like, and then.

Yeah, you wouldn't accept a handcrafted car.

Sometimes, sometimes machines know how to do it better.

Don't put them upside down.

That's the second one.

I imagine, Matt, there would have been more disasters in the kitchen, Matt, if that's, I feel like you'd just be scratching the surface there.

If that's what they're doing to their secondary glassware,

were they a family that doesn't separate forks, knives, and spoons?

No, they did a bit of that.

Good.

But yeah, there was a bit of shambles going on.

But inside the same drawer, they've also got these like...

I guess they're like smoothie glasses.

The sort of thing you see on like Instagram.

Like they're just sort of like a glass cylinder with a straw in it.

So they were in the same drawer that they were laying on their sides as well.

They're rolling.

No, they're rolling around as well.

Mayhem.

Absolute, absolute chaos.

Mayhem.

Mayhem in that drawer.

Yeah, I do understand though.

I mean, not everyone's got time to have a special shelf for glasses and, you know, to put them upside down.

But God, it's like, it's like when the Titanic hits the iceberg, you know how like all the chandeliers bashed and everything like it should be like that on a daily, on a daily basis.

Thank you, Matt.

No worries, boys.

Thank you.

hey i know we said we wouldn't talk about this for six months

um but if things pile up better off for us to clear it out with regards to our efforts to get the show on a coin

we've got the best listeners great community hey mishnani.com if you ever want to be in touch with us robert peebles did that uh he's in spain at the moment And he said, I've spent the past 18 years running a print production and sourcing business out of Shanghai.

One of my clients is the Royal Australian Mint.

Here we go.

He goes, we produce the collectible folders and plastic blisters, he calls them, in which the commemorative one or two coins sit.

Interesting.

Now, I know.

You surely wouldn't produce any coins offshore.

No country would ever do that.

But yeah, display cases.

Yeah, you could put that offshore.

Yes, I did work on the Wiggles project.

Other projects include the AFL and NRL projects recently.

Yep.

We're well aware of those.

Yep.

We were talking about how you had to get 30 million coins out there or something.

I think we threw it.

16 was the number I remember being bandied around.

He said, way too high.

Way too high.

You've been overquoted on that front because he's not putting out that amount of plastic

blisters.

He would know the quantity.

He said, I have mentioned to the mint of your ambition.

This is the bit I like because this is where it starts feeling Game of Thrones-y.

And it's like he's mentioned to a king in another realm

that we would like to do this.

They have a strict coin design policy.

That's what we're asking to be relaxed.

Well, it can't be that strict.

They put a nice vovo with very little design around it.

Anyway, he said they couldn't take that design.

The design that we'd put forward.

Oh, we're not married to the design.

No, they said they wouldn't be able to accept that i don't know why we're going through some shady back there having to chat with someone just talk call us call us

we're just saying it could be this it could be that could be anything you want it to be just get the show on a coin he does say he does go on to say it takes time you may want to extend it out to 2028 now i think that's the i thought we were doing a pretty good job giving it two years yes Does he say why we can't, our current design can't go into a real coin?

No,

I guess he says he said too much.

He just is just if it's because my bow is too low, it's not.

I could show them, I could go to the mint and show them the bow.

If they're worried because they're like, well, that young man looks like he's broken in half.

So it's actually how I bow.

It's actually how I bow.

So if it's on that, if it's on anatomical error,

I politely reject their finding.

Well, we'll check.

We'll check.

But anyway, that's an update on that front.

You said you had something for me.

Yeah, I got something on the coin front, even though it is meant to be well and truly put to bed.

We're just going to quickly get it out of bed for a second and brush its hair before we put it back to bed.

For six months.

For six months for a big sleep.

Obviously, the other front we're looking at,

we're trying to approach the mint from all different directions.

Jim Chalmers, Australian treasurer, a federal treasurer.

It is the other front.

Sure at the front and the sides and the back, please.

Jim Chalmers has been bandied around as the man that if we could get him firmly on side.

Now, a few months ago, this popped up and we were like, look, he's busy with the budget because the budget was coming out.

That's about the time of the year, everyone's talking about the treasurer.

We knew he'd be a little bit busy.

Obviously, if you've been following the saga, we spoke to the person that cut his hair.

Well, Can't see his hair.

Can't see his

hairdresser.

Regular hairdresser, but there was a hole in the alibi because Andy, you saw him on budget night.

Yeah.

And he seemed to have a fresh haircut.

Fresh cut.

And then the hairdresser we talked to that does his hair said, yeah, I actually hadn't seen him for, what did she say, six weeks?

Six weeks, yeah.

Before budget, we went, that doesn't make sense.

That's way too long.

Does he have another hairdresser?

Possibly at the back in Canberra, like a bit of a hair and makeup person.

Yep.

No.

This is from Mike.

All caps.

Message reads, my son cut Jim Chalmer's hair.

A friend has just reached out to me after I proudly shared a photo of Jim Chalmers' hair on budget night on my Facebook feed saying, my son cut this man's hair.

So he has shown the world Jim Chalmers' budget night haircut.

Proud parents.

Proud parents.

Now Mike's not a listener, but a friend of Mike's is.

And she reached out and said, hey, Hamish and Andy, you're looking for the treasurer's barber.

I don't know why so much of this campaign is now about the treasurer's hairdresser.

But that's how people are hearing it.

So Hamish and Andy, you're looking for the treasurer's barber.

Because if we get the barber, we've got them all.

Now, he goes, Well, my son Link cut Jim Chalmers' hair a week or two before the budget.

Now, that would have been bang on the budget cut because everyone knows you don't get it cut that day.

The best time for a haircut is about a week after you just let it grow in.

Um, he works on Brisbane's South Side.

He didn't,

this son, Mike's son, Lincoln, didn't know who Jim Chalmers was, but was, of course, professional, a barber's code decrees he must cut any man's hair, be he king or pauper,

walks through the door.

And so he executed his duty with honor.

However,

I'm not sure what the

barber client confidentiality is.

Mike's unsure of it, but we've got Link in the inside.

It's the man that cuts your jar, isn't he?

Yes, yes, Link.

Well,

how are we, lads?

Great.

We are good.

Now, we know this was some time ago now, but

how, first of all, were you happy with the cut?

Oh, brilliant, mate.

looked fantastic you know styled it up nice for him made it look good did he come in and say this is my budget cut and with a little bit of a joke being a budget cut play on words well he came in and you know sat down normal client uh interaction i do sit him down talk to him and at h b barbers we like offer free drinks and nice services and whatnot with our cuts mentioned he was politician and he's yeah you know something happening canberra and whatnot being a bit secretive and i was like oh yeah you know whatever you know talking about it, and then left the shop, did a bit of Google search.

I was like, oh, there he is.

That's Jim Farmers.

And I was like, oh, he looks familiar.

And yeah, no, found out it was the budget cut.

So it was the budget.

Now, Link,

our interest in the treasurer is heavily dependent on his ability to yay or nay future commemorative $1 coin designs that falls under his umbrella.

Did he give off off any sense

when you were cutting the treasurer's hair

many, many weeks ago?

Did he give off any non-verbal sense

or verbal that he would be interested in relaxing the up until now, quite stringent rules on how someone gets a commemorative coin?

Did you get the it wasn't bought up, but I'm sure I could find

the sense?

Did you get the sense?

Don't laugh maniacally after you say that, Ling.

No, but that's like I'm saying, did you get the sense that he's the kind of guy that would be up for going?

Look, we've done things one way, but there's no way we can't bend it slightly to do them another.

Oh, he was pretty relaxed.

That's a good sign.

It's a good sign for you.

It's a good sign.

Link,

let me put it this way: did you suggest a different way of approaching the cut?

And was he open to that?

I did.

I actually did.

I suggested something different, and he was down for it and I did it and he liked it.

It could be a bit early to pump the champagne, but it's feeling like we're on here.

So he's the kind of a guy that's open to suggestions.

Link,

what was it different?

What was it different, the thing that you suggested?

I just want to get a gauge.

I suggested a different style of cut.

So when it grows out, it looks nicer in the long run for him.

Better value.

He can go longer between haircuts.

So he likes value.

Okay, good, good.

Well, that's great.

I mean, this is that's all we needed.

That's incredible.

That's more than we could have hoped for.

That's huge.

In terms of psychological insights, do you think he's coming back?

He mentioned about Matt popping back in to see me, so we'll see what happens.

Would you be happy to be an operative for us?

Operative.

Look,

I can sneak some stuff in there.

We'll see what happens.

Suddenly, Just subtly, just

quick practice.

So something like, all right, I'm Jim Chalmers.

I'm getting my hair cut.

All right.

I want you, Lincoln, to subtly bring up with me the concept of the Hamish Nanny podcast getting a dollar coin.

Okay.

So let's pretend you're cutting away.

Yeah.

And I go, hey, Link, I love that suggestion you gave me last time about the hair growing out.

That's why I haven't been in for a while.

It actually looked really good as it was growing out.

Any other, any other suggestions or things that you've heard?

well i'd bring up bring up the story that my grandfather used to like collect the coins oh when i was young remember i'm jim chalmers here so we'll do the role play so oh right your grandpa used to collect coins did he yeah yeah well you know you weave it in and i'd be like oh yeah no no don't tell me what you're doing because i'm jim charmers you you're in the first person now so

uh oh you so i'm jim chalmers remember oh your grandpa used to collect coins did he yeah he did oh you know that hangers andy podcast i listen to them quite a bit i've heard they've been looking about getting a coin to be weird as a something like that.

Sorry.

Yeah, right.

I'll have to watch out and make sure I reject that if you think it'll be weird.

Link, I cannot stress enough.

We want it to be normal as.

We want it to be good as.

So try again, Link.

I'll say, I go, oh, you used to collect, your grandpa used to collect dollar coins, did he?

Yes, he did.

And I've been seeing on the Hamison Andy podcast.

I've been wanting a coin, you know, two great Australian icons.

I'd be great on one.

Yeah, that's all right.

That's okay.

There we go.

Thank you.

Yes,

if it's what the people want, I'll look into it.

Thank you again for the haircut.

I'm glad we did the rehearsal, Link,

mate.

Thank you for joining us.

Really appreciate it.

And good luck out there.

We will contact us immediately if you come to the side.

Yeah, we'll go silent now from our end.

Back to bed.

Ando, a couple of weeks ago, you

enlightened us, brought us into the world of extreme empaths.

Yeah, yeah.

Which I don't think I am.

I don't think so.

No, I've never listed that as one of my

gripes against you.

Too empathetic.

Too empathetic.

Stop with all the empathy.

No, I wouldn't call you an extreme empath, but your girlfriend Beck is, your fiancé Beck, is she's

one of the premium examples.

It came from, obviously, she felt sorry for the castro car during the Fall of Long Grand Prix later V8 race as well.

And something happened at the start, which meant he missed it, and he was 400 meters behind.

And Beck was very upset every time he went past and yelled at at one point, can't they just all wait for it to catch up?

No.

And if you've seen Disney's cars, you'd know that that castro car would be sad, but he'd also be trying his best.

But then later, jerks like chick hicks and stuff would be giving him hell out the back making him really letting him know about the fact that he missed the start but that is racing that's racing um and we got so many emails from people going

like this is me this is me as well couldn't believe it i think it's a lot i think it's worth shining a lot on people from Like, just from people going, can't stand anyone stepping on a snail because they're cute and slow and it's not their fault.

They're so slow.

Like, just, you know, just generic ones like that.

To things like this um from jade

when i'm clothes shopping if i carry around an item and then i change my mind i still have to buy it

because i feel like i got its hopes up and it'll be sad if i put it back

look at this this is another one i mean like

from caitlin when i'm on instagram or any other social media site i have to like every single post otherwise i feel bad that the other posts posts have been left out and they feel sad.

Sometimes I don't even look at the post, I just like it.

Otherwise, I would feel bad that it feels sad.

We've got a similar one here from Crystal.

I feel bad for boats that are towing something on the back like a wake border.

The extra weight feels like a real struggle.

I also feel bad for trucks when they go uphills.

They must get tired hauling all day.

We are living in the world of Thomas the Tank Engineer.

It's like all these machines have sad faces.

Oh, and they all chat to each other at night.

Okay, yeah.

How's this one?

Feel you, Crystal.

Philia.

Yeah, no, feeling you.

Pauline,

this is from Pauline.

She goes, I have one teaspoon of a slightly different size to the rest.

When I see it in the cutlery drawer, I always use it first.

I worry it might feel less worthy than its peers because of its difference in size and shape.

And choosing it above the rest assures the spoon of its welcome position in my drawer.

It's beautiful.

It's the front of the pudding.

It's beautiful.

It's a beautiful message to send to the others.

It's the Rudolph spoon.

Yes, yes.

Tonight you may lead the pudding.

Where is a better analogy?

I don't think it's going to grow into a beautiful spoon

carving knife

if you hold on to that little spoon long enough.

This is from Amy.

Fellow empath here with Beck.

My husband and I will buy Arnott's cream favorites that have five different biscuits for our cupers.

I can't just pick one so I always have five.

I don't want to variety to feel left out but I'm always so full.

No more biscuits.

But this is the length.

But this is, I mean, God, these beautiful souls amongst us that you don't, we don't know that this is going on because we're just munching away on a biscuit having a nice time

people bring so much more emotional care into the world this one really got me i was like i don't even know how this works this is from rory i think i'm an empath because when i'm out for a run and i happen to accidentally land on a crack in the path with one foot I'll have to go out of my way to run onto another crack with the other foot and land it in the exact same position as the previous foot had experienced it.

Otherwise, I'll feel bad that one foot has stepped on a crack and the other one hasn't.

Oh, so it's about his feet?

I think his is more OCD is.

Well, he's trying to make his feet feel not feel bad about each other.

So he's like, it can make running quite frustrating.

I imagine it can.

Tracking all the cracks in the world and making sure that each foot has had their fair share of cracks.

Is crack an advantage?

Or is it?

I don't know.

I think it's more just like, I used to think it's something, but I guess it's just.

the foot's had one.

They've had a different experience and now they're

shared with the other foot.

Kayla nominates her dad as an empath.

And look, it'd be be fair to say, you know, if you've, you know, if we talk about genders, obviously,

there's all types.

But more females have been

written in for this.

Maybe we are seeing a few more girls.

There are tons of blokes writing for this.

Her dad, he said, he will rotate his socks evenly through the sock drawer.

He'll never wear one again until everyone's had a go.

Really?

Because he doesn't want them to feel...

Doesn't want them to feel left out.

Just wants them to all know that he cares about them.

How could you possibly do that?

I reckon I never do that.

I have hundreds of socks because I go through spurts of worrying that I'll run out of socks.

So I just have sock security is what I care about.

Then I have almost like the mantle of the earth.

I have a very deep sock drawer and a layer that I haven't looked under for years that may well have some of my favorite socks in it.

But then about the nine pairs I enjoy, they rotate around like topsoil.

Yes.

But as you dig down into the crust, you will find some of the ones from covert that i bought they're still in there they're doing a very important job they're holding up the topsoil but i'll never dig down that deep

i just want to say this off the top we don't laugh at names we don't laugh at names anymore we don't laugh at names gone are the days i mean we have laughed at names we've all i mean many decades ago bart simpson created a career out of laughing at names his huge ass there yeah you know hey guys i'm looking for a huge ass.

And we all laughed.

Yeah, we all laughed in the 90s.

And then we learned you don't laugh at names.

Hugh didn't ask for that name.

If there is a huge ass out there, he didn't ask for that name.

Well, we did do a whole series of pranks where we'd ring like a regional sports team.

That's true, yes.

And we'd go, like, you know, yeah, Chips McGibbons.

Yeah.

And the whole point.

Penis Simpson.

The whole point was

you or I would hold up

a silly name.

But that was actually about not laughing at names.

Well,

we had to get through it without laughing at names.

So I'd say that was still under the rules of we don't laugh at names.

Now, so that's, I understand that rule.

So imagine my surprise when against all odds and against my best wishes, I did laugh at a name the other day.

And I wasn't expecting to laugh at a name.

And I didn't laugh loud, but it did get this.

It got a, it got a.

I know the type of, I know the.

And I looked at Zoe to see if she'd heard it.

She hadn't heard.

And I was like, is this one of the ones?

We're at the airport.

So I was like, she's busy.

And I was like, do I share this?

She is busy.

My brain always thinks comedy will like will rule if no matter how busy Zoe is, there's a voice in my head that goes, no, she'll find this funny.

Stop her.

Tell her your funny thing.

And it's never right.

So we're checking in.

We're checking in.

And there's a very professional man there who actually has a like a normal sounding, like, well, not normal,

a unusual, a common surname.

Unremarkable.

Unremarkable surname.

No such thing as normal.

We love all names, but just not a name that you would look twice at.

However, in this setting, you'll see where it gets the laugh.

He's like, he's like 50 years old.

Like, I'd say, I don't know, finance, like looks like he's important.

And it's like at the check-in desk, the cornerstone.

Probably business class check-in.

Uh, not for me, no, checking with kids, so you have to line up.

And it must be very nice for you guys, just dumping bags and straight to the business lounge.

But I unfortunately, I'm in the cube, common manning it.

But I doubt that

now we had a valet, and that would do it.

I was sitting on my

back of the tractor waiting to be driven to the gates.

Does all the check-in and hand the thing back?

And they go, There you go, Mr.

Bean.

It's good.

Enjoy the fly.

Now, did he not speak?

Did he go?

He did have a little teddy bear.

But I was like, so this guy, this guy's Mr.

Bean.

He's put up with that.

He's all hopeful.

And I felt better because I was like, if he sees me laugh, he knows what I'm laughing.

Yeah, exactly.

It's like when tall people get told they're tall.

It's like, yes, I'm aware I'm tall.

He knows he's Mr.

Bean.

He's Mr.

Bean.

That's tough for him.

He's got to deal with that.

And he didn't look like.

Did his luggage have three wheels?

No, that wasn't Mr.

Bean's car, was it?

That was his nemesis.

He's got to watch it.

Got to watch out for that guy.

But it did.

I was like, am I laughing because of Mr.

I'm laughing because I'm, or am I thinking of Rowan Atkinson?

And he is funny.

And Mr.

Bean is funny.

And that's why I'm laughing.

I'm just laughing because this guy is Mr.

Bean.

So did he register you go there?

I think I got away with it.

I think I got away with it.

But then again, to my point, then I was like, hey, Zoe, you know, she's like, got kids bags.

I was like, check out this cool.

I don't know what his first name is.

His last name's Bean.

Yes.

When the person had the ticket,

Mr.

Bean.

Just crickets.

Had she not seen Mr.

Bean?

I don't think so, Jack.

I think, yeah, she must have missed it because it was very funny.
