2025 Ep 314 - ⁠10 Years, One Password

A listener production.

Activate your internet.

Cause the Hey Mission Andy podcast starts in three,

two.

Sorry, still buffering.

One.

Ahoy to me, Jeremiah.

Hey, bullfrogs, hopefully.

Four statues in Springfield, Ohio.

No.

Ahoy to me.

Conrad.

Jack.

Ahoy.

Conrad Jeremiah.

And I'm Belly.

We're brothers.

Are we brothers?

Conrad Belly.

I said to the girls outside, there's no way the guys are getting this, and I'm unsure whether we should go with it.

What do you mean?

Everyone will.

I know where we're from.

Yeah, Bianca watches it.

Summer I turn pretty.

He's got it.

He's got it.

He's celebrating outside.

Like, no, tomorrow.

No, it's like a main character.

No, I know it's a show, but

it's like huge.

It's gone like next level, no.

A series on Amazon.

Oh, yeah.

The Summer I turned pretty.

I've seen the thumbnail, sure.

Yeah.

I've seen Beck watching it.

Yeah.

But yes, well done, Jack.

Who's the prettiest of us?

Probably ours.

We've all blossomed.

Yep.

Haven't we?

I've definitely got better.

Hang on, are we still talking about the show?

Or are we talking about just humans?

I've been talking about his looks.

I thought we were talking about looks in general.

Do you think you're a peak physical?

I've definitely got better looking.

Yeah.

What do you put it down to?

I don't know.

I just like just growing up a little bit.

You've had a grow up.

You've had a grow up.

Yeah, I think I have.

I look back at old photos of me like in my 20s, definitely when I started on the show.

And I was like...

You really were a little boy back then, weren't you?

Yeah, I was.

I was a really little boy, even at like 27.

I look at my wedding photos.

At 27, i just looked like a little junior boy yeah

why is why are we letting that page boy marry the bride

uh ahoy also uh to jared uh who's in the us

who went to homishanny.com to give us a um an update of what he's been doing ahoy boys and little boy jack this is Jared calling you from Boise, Idaho, US.

My wife,

she had me cleaning out one of the several fruit bowl piles accumulated around the house.

And from one of them, I wanted to share with you a couple of the key items that I pulled out.

First, being the perfect skipping stone, natural place to put that.

Oh, yeah, good.

Entire rings full of keys with no known locks.

Yep.

Pen light with dead batteries, as well as half a dozen used but not fully dead batteries that don't fit the pen light.

And of course the uh the main piece here is going to be the small case containing my pulled wisdom teeth from 15 years ago just in case i need a replacement down the road anyway boys thanks for the show talk to you

great inventory all worth hanging on to yeah it's so hard to throw away a key that you don't know where it goes oh my god yeah the excitement the excitement

and batteries because you always do the thing you're like i know we're not meant to throw these in the bin we'll just let these linger here until we come up with a better disposal.

I asked to have the top of the show for something that's very important,

something that a lot of people think has been a peter out, but no, it sat in the back of my head for a very, very long time.

Seven meter hat.

Seven meter hat.

Here we bloody go.

It's to do, Ham.

Oh, thank God.

With the big ask.

Oh, thank God.

Yes.

This is something Jack owes me.

Yes, I hadn't forgotten at all.

I'm sure Jack hadn't.

Every night he would go to bed clutching his rosary beads and mumbling, may he forget the big ask.

Yes.

My only plan was, and this is all I could really ever do, was don't mention it.

So hopefully it gets forgotten about.

Maybe we need a t-shirt.

Remember to never mention the big ask.

You did.

lose Bitcoin of mine.

We've actually put this together to bring everyone up to speed because it's been quite quite the saga for many a year.

Nearly 10 years ago, Hamish and Andy lost two Bitcoin to the password gods.

And even when Web Giza Jez was hypnotized, he couldn't remember the password.

Capital P, I saw.

Capital P, capital P,

I saw one, two, three, four, I saw.

One, two, three, four.

Don't tell me it's password, one, two, three, four.

So when Jack was tasked with looking after some of Andy's Bitcoin, surely they learned their lesson.

Get an email from Jack.

Hi, man.

It's all just a little bit of history.

What's happened, Jack?

I will be unable to transfer you the Bitcoin.

Let me know.

It is getting to the point now where we will be able to say to this team, put your hand up if you haven't lost us Bitcoin and no one will be able to raise their hand.

So a debt needed to be paid in either Bitcoin or another form.

Jack has said he will transfer me the money because he's lost it.

And I said, I don't want that.

I want the Bitcoin.

But what I would like to propose, Jack, is one big ask.

Okay.

At some point next year.

Oh, a blank check ask.

No, not money-based.

No, that's based.

Like a wild card.

Like,

you get to, when you think of it, ask for any favor and I can't say no.

Yep.

Give me a big ask.

And I can't say no.

No.

Shark, I would be very careful.

What about this?

You have all summer to find the Bitcoin.

But if you come back episode one of next year and you haven't found it, the big ask is in play.

That is sadly only fair.

But summer was over, and the little boy was looking for an extension.

To whom it may concern.

Over summer, Jack has been spending much of his time helping his elderly neighbor with chores around her house.

Let's see where this is going, Jack.

With his increased extracurricular load, Jack has been unable to complete his assigned Bitcoin homework.

We request that you allow Jack a three-month extension.

Jesus, there's

Jack, in 10 weeks,

you don't have

Show9, you better have that password now.

I'm on Andy's side of you too.

I'm not, or a bloody good reason why we give you another extension.

So, in the midst of 2020, Jack tried to tie the big ask deadline to COVID restrictions.

I was kind of hoping like an international travel kind of, like it might not be till next year.

Like when footy stadiums are full again, that kind of era.

There's no correlation.

It's just that

there's no correlation to when we're when mass crowds are

going to fly away the big ask is in play.

Is that what we're saying?

That has been my slogan.

So even though borders remained closed, Andy was still already pondering the big ask.

Is it a one-off event, the big ask, or could I say to Jack, hey, can you put my bins out for the rest of the year?

A recurring big ask.

I would hate that.

Well,

let's be honest.

I don't think the big ask was ever going to be something you would love.

It wasn't going to be like, hey, I was wondering if you could go to Byron with your wife this summer.

But later in 2020, someone named Brad contacted Jack, saying he could help crack the code.

He knows a lot about computers.

You sound like you're 75 on a current affair, explaining how you've got diddled.

He said he can build a program that will take those 24 words and check for any spelling mistakes or words that are spelt close to that.

He'll run all the combinations.

He'll run all the combinations, trying to figure out if he can get into this Bitcoin.

Okay.

He said it could take three weeks because the program, he just leaves it on overnight.

Okay.

So I left the first month, I just let him go and thought, okay, great.

Brad's running the program.

He should be back in contact soon.

In the corner of his bedroom, just running helpjackout.exe.

I call his mobile number a couple of times and he doesn't pick up.

I send him a text saying, hey, Brad, just trying to reach out.

Let me know if you're around.

Probably busy coding or reading the printout.

It's the guy you're currently scamming.

Hey, Brad, when you've formulated a good excuse, please give us a call and let me film you in on it.

I was thinking of going out with my own identity, but if you're using it today, let me know.

Maybe we could do Monday, Wednesday, Friday on me, Tuesday, Thursday, you're me.

This is the other thing that made me believe him.

He said he'd already made heaps of money off Bitcoin.

Like

a Nigerian prince.

It doesn't need any money.

Well, he's not going to want to stop it.

Of course.

A full 18 months later, as the world returned to normal, the big ask came into play.

Jack, I expect the big ask to come into fruition next year.

Okay, man.

I'm happy that it's not right now.

It gives me another summer

of freedom.

Yes, you've got a kid coming at the same time.

Was it the big ask?

Oh, yeah, can't be like, we're going to be living in a hole for two years.

Nice to enjoy one more summer.

I might not actually, now that you say that, Andy, I might not be able to deliver on favours as easily as a new father.

So that will be interesting to know

weaseling out of the big ask.

And Jack's impending fatherhood would turn out to be crucial to the big ask.

Your baby arrives on Friday.

This is a big ask.

You can't have a bad thing.

This is Prumple Stiltskin.

I don't want

the king ordering a firstborn.

I'd love my name to be amongst the names.

You can't play around with names.

More chance of getting the baby.

The moment we all waited for.

The baby name announcement came just two weeks later.

His given name is Gordon.

Right, Tick.

Beautiful.

And his last name?

His last name?

Post.

Conventional.

The big ask was...

Naming rights

in the middle, not obviously usurping Bianca's, was it granddad or dad?

Giancarlo.

Her dad, I believe.

Bianca's dad.

Yep.

So he has his grandfather's name as a middle name.

So far.

Gordon.

Gordon.

Giancarlo.

Now, is there any additional name alongside Giancarlo?

There is a blank space and then post.

So there's room for me.

Do you mean a space, like a one-character-wide space?

Yeah, a one-character-wide thing.

Giancarlo finishes on the O,

space, post.

No rapper.

Are you trying to sell into Andy that that space represents him?

Django was a disgust.

You know what?

10 minutes in the car on the way home from the podcast, I thought, you know what?

I'm not going to do that.

But Jack didn't lose hope of wriggling out from under the big ask.

He sought more help from the dark web.

This time, a hacker named Joe.

Everything is breakable.

Nothing's 100% secure.

It just depends on how much effort you want to put into actually breaking it.

So the Bitcoin's on the USB, right?

And you get so many attempts at the password.

I was getting sick of trying the password that I thought, I'll just use the backup 24-word phrase that I wrote down.

Wipe the whole device, ready to put the 24 words back in and

jack it back up.

And

that's what I've lost.

Or I don't have the right set of 24 words.

Intentionally erased the device and tried to reset it up with the words.

Yeah.

Yeah, so the device is now.

Hang on, so, Jake, did you, in your head, were you thinking, I have the 24 words there in the other room?

I'll just go and wipe it.

Where were those 24 words?

Essentially, yes.

I heard there's a guy that can stitch penises back on.

Before I call him, I'm going to cut mine off.

You might have better look

right now and try to make it.

This number is disconnected.

What have I done?

What have I done?

And so the years passed by.

A big ask wasn't asked, but nor a Bitcoin returned.

When's the expiry?

No, that was like seven years ago.

I think it's forever.

I don't think this is.

It expires as soon as you find my Bitcoin password.

I've looked.

I look every six months.

I do a deep, deep search.

Yeah, right.

Which brings us to today.

Is this finally the big ask moment?

What a journey I've been on.

I had forgotten so much of that.

I cannot believe that when it first started, you're like, all right, by episode 90,

here we are into the 300s.

I know.

I had to take out bits of that.

Marshi said it to me, and I was like, mate, I'm enjoying this, but it goes way too long.

Remember,

we went to Jack's house with the detective and a prison guard, and he flips his whole tossy's house.

We had to take that bit out.

Tossy's house trying to find the words.

I forgot you tried to name my son.

Definitely forgot about that.

On the day when we tossed Jack's house, we remember we found a notebook of his and it was like Christmas present ideas for us.

And it just was like dot, dot, dot.

And then he got bored and started making another list.

We never got a Christmas present.

Back to the task at hand, the big ask.

The big ask.

Jack,

you and I had a discussion about the big ass this week.

Do you want to tell?

everybody.

It's funny that you mentioned the big ass recently and brought it back to light

because I was so excited to call you this week and say, stand down, Andy.

We don't need the big ask anymore.

We have recovered the Bitcoin.

Have you really?

We've got it back.

We've got it.

Do you really?

I honestly, I 100% have it.

It has been just.

If you're just saying this, and I admire it, just to get to one more time, just to get out of the

one-week extension.

And the best news is it's in the car, and I'll go and get it.

No.

Hang on.

Jack, you've recovered your Bitcoin.

It has just been the luckiest year for me because the year started with me.

Jack, I've got it.

There was like billions of dollars for you.

No, no, I've got one Bitcoin.

And then I've got once, remember, he was upset that he sold the other.

Oh, you did get out of there.

Yeah, yeah, no.

Oh, my God.

If I had all seven or whatever I had,

I wouldn't.

I wouldn't believe it.

You wouldn't be here.

No time for hobby.

And it's in the hundred, it's 190,000 at the moment, a bitcoin.

Yeah,

and then Andy's bit is like his was 0.18 of a Bitcoin.

So you can buy

fraction.

Didn't I have half of yours or something?

You didn't have any.

See if Marshi can go back and find that episode.

You know what?

Your big ask should have been, Ando.

My big ask is if you find the Bitcoin again, I get half.

Well, the man who found it isn't, his name's Anthony.

He runs Find Your Crypto.

That's how Jack found him on Insta at Find Your Crypto.

Hang on.

Is this?

Have you seen the dollars?

I've seen the account.

I haven't transferred it into Australian dollars, but I see it back in your wallet.

It's in his wallet.

A Bitcoin.

Wow, half a Bitcoin because you'll find out that Anthony has quite a large fee to proceed to negotiate.

No, no.

Maybe you could get your whole Bitcoin and just do a big ask for Anthony.

No, he is.

Anthony is truly my guardian angel.

He came to me.

He heard the podcast.

He does this for a living now.

We can speak to him.

He's here.

He's right here, right now.

Anthony, ahoy to you, mate.

Ahoy.

We know you're in the UK, so there'll be a bit of a delay.

Anthony, this is

a shock to me.

I never expected this chapter to end this way.

I mean,

sorry if we cast aspersions on if it's really there, if it's real, but I am just going to ask one more time.

Have you really got it back?

I think I'm pretty sure that we do have the Bitcoin back.

He's been shy.

He's been shy.

He knows 100% we've got it back.

Because the only other way

it can't be a scam because he sent me half of the Bitcoin.

Unless he's just a generous guy.

This would be a bad scam.

This would be a very bad scam.

People think you're the kind of person that can get Bitcoin back and it costs you hundreds of thousands of dollars a week in just buying Bitcoin for people.

Anthony, I know these, there's a secret craft.

You're like a magician mining for these things, but can you give us any idea of how you did come to find Jax and how long it took to find Jax and my little portion?

so

uh, Jax had uh his 24 words written down, but I think as a bit of a safety measure, just in case a thief came into his house,

he decided to jumble up the order of the words.

And so, I created a little script to go through the words and change their order,

and

took about 10 minutes or so.

And then, yeah,

got access.

So, Jack, you found your list of 24 words.

So I did, the day that we got the police into my house and flipped the house, I did show you an example of 24 words.

And I said, I don't think this is it because this doesn't work anymore.

This must have been old.

I remember that.

Old 24 words, but I just couldn't get it to work.

And when we got Brad on the show, who is another person who tried to hack it, his idea was to change the letters or look for spelling mistakes in the 24 words.

And he wasn't successful with that anthony you forgot you personally scrambled the word so what did i do anthony i put the last word first and yeah as it like

as a safety measure against thieves

so i had that this whole time i've had the 24 words i just moved one word to the top as a safety measure but i did forget the safety measure

It was that easy.

Was that it, Anthony?

Is that what I did?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's it.

Yeah.

And so you've pretty much like...

How did you pick the lock?

Well, I just jiggled it a bit harder and it just turned out you just needed a bit of elbow grease.

So you've pretty much paid Anthony $100,000

to remember that you scrambled it.

You've got to think of where I, like, Anthony came to me.

He's now the third person trying to crack into this Bitcoin.

He deserves it.

I almost just ignored your DM, Anthony, because like, what's the point?

Why get your hopes up anymore?

So I said, yeah, like, knock yourself out.

Probably what you'll find is that Brad, the first guy, stole it.

That's the only thing you'll uncover.

Yeah.

And he said, I take fifth, usually I take 50%.

I said, yeah, whatever, I take it.

Almost would have gone, yeah, mate, take 90.

So

he's taking 50%.

This is the question I want to ask.

Jack, Andy had, from memory, 0.18, wasn't it?

Something like that of a Bitcoin, which at

those prices is just, you know, around about $33,000, $34,000.

So

does Andy have to pay half the fee, or does Andy's paying 50% as well?

He's not chopped out of this thing.

You got out of nowhere.

This Bitcoin came back in your door.

No, no, no, no, no.

We're going to have to let you go, but we'll have to.

Thank you very much.

I'd like to ask Anthony this question.

Anthony, Jack was holding Andy's Bitcoin.

Should Jack pay the whole fee to win it?

Andy wasn't the one that forgot the technique.

Andy is owed 0.18 of a Bitcoin.

Do you think Jack should pay him 0.18 or 0.9?

Be smart.

sorry 0.09 be smart i definitely think uh 0.18 i think uh jack jack held us held that bitcoin yeah uh to ransom from and really

i 100 agree and jack what are you what are you saying anthony i didn't hold it i didn't hold anything to ransom it was in your possession and you owe andy point i was doing him a favor

okay here we can let anything go congratulations thank you anthony well done well a lucrative 10 minutes for you you.

Because this is funny that you say this, Ham.

Jack, here's the thing.

If you went to the bank and you said, hey,

could you look after $1,000 for me?

And that's their job as the bank.

And then they come to them and be like, mate, you're not going to believe this.

We can't.

We forgot the body code to the vault.

And we're going to have to get a team of crackers in.

I'm like, yeah, okay.

Well, when could I have my thousand dollars?

Oh, we don't know.

Like, they're so busy and we're not even sure if they're going to turn up.

Well, I need my $1,000.

Great news.

The crackers came in.

They charge us so much money, though.

We're going to give you 400 bucks

because we had to we had to pay the we had to pay the safe crackers a different scenario different scenario exactly no no when andy when andy when i held andy's bitcoin as a favor he i think you paid 700 bucks for that portion so for now for it to be worth 30 000 yet again jack you put yourself in this position where you decide who gets what based on the fact that you would like the money i can't believe this is like coming over and giving andy the best birthday present I've ever given him.

And then you go, oh, well, why isn't it?

Well, why isn't opening half a second?

Just you borrowing my car and returning the wheels only.

No, no.

Because you should be thankful.

It's a very nice car and you can afford another one.

He's already got 20x what he put in.

Jack.

Be grateful.

You deciding that you deserve a third of the piano raffle because you would like a piano.

I can't believe this.

I can't believe this.

What do you do?

This is why you just might as well be a weasel the whole time because you try and do one generous thing.

I actually thought not generous i was paying a debt

anthony i was generous to anthony he gets 50

i was going to stand by that and let everyone go like hey jess such a nice guy he gave 50 of his bitcoin to anthony my guess

my guess is only anthony transferred half yeah he keeps it yeah

it was never a chance for you to give

you the whole thing he didn't give you the whole thing and go even if you feel like paying my fee now that you're a rich man would you please do so

that's true that's true so yes hey you bring up a point because when i when jack rang me to tell me he's like so it's great man we've got it back to the it's just a 50 fee and then hung up essentially right and i went

that's curious oh i can't believe this it's not a full i can't believe you just

i could have just kept hush about it you could have that would have been

the big ask so yeah but so what take his bins out for 15 grand i'll do it

this interesting yeah i'll name myself i'll change gordon's name if you want

wow when you quit a breakfast radio show how times change

jack i'm not going to ask you for the form out love it i know

no they can't they can't be big ask and money back no no i'll mean it probably don't you pretend you know what's going on you have no idea about any of this I know the ethics of it, Jack, and I know that you owed a man 0.18 of a Bitcoin.

Now,

how you got that, you're giving him half of what you owed him so in my book in the fairness and the the law of the universe you have given him some cash as a cash value to what you owed him and that's nice

if it was up to me i would say thank you for this half of the money of you owed me i will now downgrade the big ask to a medium ask yeah i think that's what we have to do

i think a medium ask is still

a medium ask is so broad i don't know i don't know i'll accept a little ask

i would say it's still medium.

How much is this?

$15,000.

$15,000 ask.

Well, it's not.

At the moment, it's just digital fake money.

Bitcoin, cryptocurrency.

It's not really.

Well, it's not any currency.

It's actually recognized now.

So, yeah, it'd be $15,000 to $25,000.

It's a fake given to us.

I didn't get anything out of this.

I hope I don't lose your portion over the next week or so.

I have been known to be slippery with the password.

I can't believe this.

A very little ask, a very, very, very little ask.

We'll come back to it, but it's medium now.

Medium's fair.

I love it.

Medium's fair.

Hey,

I wouldn't say we're a powerful show, but we are the place where we can offer powerful things for people to become more powerful through power moves, and they kept getting sent in.

Let me kick it off.

Go for it.

This is from Matt.

When someone gives you an opinion on a topic, simply reply with,

I could see how the untrained eye would think that.

Good.

I like that one.

This is from Monica.

If you're hosting something at your place and someone asks if you need anything else, send them items from your shopping list which are completely unrelated to the event.

For example, shaving cream, band-aids, vinegar, etc.

Just wash it on screen.

That's such a good idea.

pretty sure my brother-in-law did that to Zoe the other day.

They're going over just for a family lunch.

I was away with our daughter, and so Zoe and Sonny Ella were going over.

And she was like, Should I bring anything over?

And he goes, Why not bring a bottle of tequila

for lunch

there?

No one's really dreamy.

Like, it's a lunch.

It wasn't a big, boozy affair.

Yeah, like,

he just wanted some tequila.

So I was like, I was just sitting there going, What if I bought a bottle of refasado for

a family lunch?

Nice but even

From James, when at a dog park and your dog does a poo, find a dog owner nearby who isn't paying attention to their dog and say, hey, mate, sorry, but your dog just did a poo over there.

That would 100% work, by the way.

That's good.

And Beck's always on her phone.

So if you see her out in the wilderness with Henrietta,

yeah, you could blame your dog's poo on that on our dog.

Try your luck and do a human one and see if she'll clean that up.

yeah it is yuck jack fair enough i also don't like try your luck no just try because it's trying your luck because if you said to her hey that you don't get a poo you are trying your luck because henrietta as much as you say she's tall she is a small dog and i think if she went over and saw a man's eyes poo

she might go i don't think that came from my dog that's how you try your luck that's the fun of the game but at the same time jack yuck i do encourage people to try their luck if they see beckon in the wild

and if she turns around and sees you with your pants down and you're holding on to a bench or something and you're squatting backwards she'll go oh got you trying your luck

i heard the yep i heard the

well badly that's i wasn't i didn't even hear anything i just happened to turn around at the wrong time for you bad luck um this is from ruan When starting in a new company, during your welcome and intro message to the entire team, I assume this is if you're staying in a managerial position.

Let them all know you will book one-on-one meetings with key staff members.

Then don't book any meetings.

This will have the staff wondering why they are not deemed a key member.

Mike it

from Micah in New Zealand, a simple and effective one, and it's been used against him a number of times.

I think he says, I think it's best performed as part of a general sentence rather than a standalone comment.

Okay, great.

Simply refer to one's uniform as a costume.

For example, in a conversation with a firefighter, does it take you long to put your costume on before you head out to a call?

Toodle.

Because generally, I mean, anyone that wears a uniform

automatically, I can't think of anyone that wears a uniform that doesn't demand a higher level of respect.

Yeah, they think they've got something, some authority to wear.

Well, they usually do.

I mean, between like, you know, Defence Force, Firefighter, Police, these are all.

With due respect to Jack's dad, parking inspectors do wear a uniform.

That's true.

That would demand a little bit of respect.

Park where you're meant to park.

No way.

You know my policy, mate.

I can't believe your dad is my mortal enemy.

Very...

I was going to say Montague and Capulet, but then we're lovers.

But still, the family situation remains the same.

This is a specific one, and

it comes in the category of like, you know,

unfortunately, and this is just, this is just biology.

It's the way the world has always been, that

taller people probably have more opportunity to exert power moves on shorter people than vice versa.

You know, we've talked about, you know, just popping a drink on the head or, you know, popping your arm up, popping it on someone's head.

Do that to my friend AJ a bit.

There's really nothing you can do to come back from that.

No.

This is from Tim and he goes, look, this happened to me.

So he's admitting this is the shorter guy in this situation.

I was running with friends.

There were four of us, two tall guys, about two meters each.

That's tall.

And two shorter guys, about 175, were running on trails.

And there were some low branches at times.

As runners, it's nice to warn other runners behind you of any low branches with a call of heads.

One of the taller runners, Drew, was in front, and he would often call heads Danny.

He only specifically mentioned the other tall runner and didn't mention us, Tim and Regan, reminding us they were just little boys.

Hey, Beck during the week returned home triumphant that she's got some new Apple AirPods.

Oh, right.

Yeah, they are very new.

And look, in Beck's world, I have to write my name on mine because she's the kind of person that this will probably last

three or four weeks tops before she misplaces one or all pods

to the point where I bought her pods for Christmas one year and then knew how you can get them engraved, like or the little message on the podcast.

I said, Beck's to be lost within three or four weeks

written on them.

And sure enough.

Yep, Bex Tilfeb.

Bex Tilfeb.

Yeah.

One thing that she said about them, which I think was crazy, is they've got Apple Translate now.

So you can be overseas with the AirPods in.

It's happened.

And you listen to someone talking to you in their native tongue.

Right.

And it picks up on Italian, for instance, but then speaks it back to you in your ears in your native tongue, English for us.

So you can now understand

people.

Now, obviously, you'd have to give them some AirPods if you want to talk back to them or offer them one of yours out of your ear.

You could split an ear.

I mean, you could split an ear, but that is quite incredible.

I can't believe we're there with technology.

Yeah, we're there.

I mean, Hitchhiker's Guide Across the Galaxy.

Yeah, they think that's called a bad babelfish.

Your little fish that you put in your ear.

Yeah.

I thought that was amazing until I heard this morning that they've bought out AirPods 3 Plus,

which just translates not just languages, but heaps of other interactions.

Here at Apple, we are always innovating.

Our recent AirPod Pro 3 introduced live translation, whereas you listen, someone speaking in a different language is translated to your native tongue.

Hello, welcome.

Today, all the red car nations are 50% off.

We are pleased to announce we've taken the translation even further with AirPod Pro 3 Plus.

The Plus does not only translate languages, it translates many other interactions as well.

Like ones with your drunk mate at the pub.

Mate, I've been having a big figure out of the things.

I just reckon I reckon I'm gonna have the park.

Poor Palmer, this is a valid.

Hello, buddy.

Please place $20 on the number nine at Wentworth Park.

I'll also have a pot of beer and a Palmer with Chips No Salad.

Ah, yeah, no worries, mate.

Coming right up.

An interaction with your partner at home.

Oh, Beck, I forgot the game was on tonight.

Do you mind if we watch that instead of a movie?

Oh, yeah, that's totally fine.

No worries.

That is not fine, and you'll pay for this down the track.

You know what?

Let's watch that Blake Lively movie instead.

I've been really keen on seeing that.

Those long phone calls with your mom.

Those buyers' advocates, I mean, that's what we noticed when we were looking for Cam.

Or was it for you?

No, it was a Tam.

They were all buyers' advocates who were getting inferred.

None of this is important, but thanks for listening.

Thanks, mum.

But that's not all.

The AirPod Pro 3 Plus can even translate translate your dog.

Can you stop singing cutesy songs to me every single morning?

Oh,

I thought you liked that.

Innovation and understanding.

The AirPod Pro 3 Plus.

Grab yours now at the Apple Store.

Hello, teenage daughter.

How are you today?

Dad, I hate you.

Dad, I hate you.

Oh, okay.

Yep, I get it.

Do you guys have any products that you can't get everywhere?

Like food products often where you go, oh,

this is a rare get.

Oh, no, I don't, but Beck encounters this a lot because she always tells me that you can't get that everywhere and it excites her.

So there's a certain brand of yogurt that I enjoy that is pops up at some Woolworths,

but not all, which I can't figure out.

Musks, you know, the lifesaver musks.

Oh, yeah.

They're rare.

I don't know if you guys, they're a big deal in our family.

I run a different policy in my car as I run in her car.

I am a very good Uber in my car and I have a selection of snacks and treats.

And

we've had to pare it down to like one musk, one ring per trip.

You know, like you can't, because they're a bit more-ish.

And

so often you go to the servo.

They have, and again, this is a niche world, but fruit pastiles are everywhere.

No one wants fruit pastiles.

I don't know why the geniuses at lifesavers think that that's like the,

that's what we want.

We want masks.

Yeah.

You can't even really get regular lifesavers anymore.

You know, the multicolored ones?

Yeah.

They're not.

That's a good thing to phase out, wasn't it?

Because the irregular ones were more like a rock candy website.

They were

seed-through.

You get fruit tingles if you like.

I can't believe the brand survived so long just on that.

It was the delivery method.

It was the excitement.

You didn't know what.

You've got to remember, before the internet,

that was enough dopamine for us

to not know what color was coming next in a lolly.

That used to be enough dopamine.

Now

we need three-second TikToks that blow our minds.

But before

clinkers, that was enough dopamine for the excitement of a clinker.

We were happy with that level of dopamine.

Can you remember, I can't remember the name of it, but there was one that didn't have a, had a filled-in hole.

So it wasn't a donut.

Fruit tingles.

Fruit tingles.

So they're still around.

Are they still around?

100%.

Yeah, they're great.

How do your kids feel about them?

Because to me, they were at the time

the category above all.

At that top.

Rue and I smashed a pack on the weekend.

And it was a special treat.

We broke the one per run ring, one piece per drive rule, and we had some fruit tingles.

So musks for me is when I see them, I buy five packs.

I get very, very excited and I load up because

it's honestly one in six servos has musks.

i get excited when i'm running low on fuel in an area i'm not often in because i go okay well this gives me a chance to see if this happens to be one of the musk servos

zoe has discovered something else there is a small iga that we're sometimes near so it's got a bit of a penchant for artificial banana flavor so like you know banana lollies barney bananas that kind of thing loves that particular flavor Grow into that or always have it?

Because I feel like...

I guess you haven't from childhood.

Like if you love a lolly banana, some people, yeah, it's it's a bit of a polarizing taste, but if you love a lolly banana, this is for you.

There are some chocolate flavors you can't get at every,

I don't know if you, how deeply you've dived into this, every supermarket doesn't stock all the Cabri or all the Whitakers or whatever.

I personally am partial, and again, not about me, but partial to a Whitaker's almond block.

Really?

Sometimes I've said to them, hey, where's your Whitaker's almond?

And they'll be like, here it is.

No, that's dark almond.

I'm looking for almond.

They go, you know, I think this is almond.

With all due respect, sir, I know what I'm talking about.

And that is dark almond.

And then they go, I guess we don't have regular almond.

And I go, okay, we'll tell your boss to fix it because

you've got, you don't know how many people are coming up and down this aisle.

And we don't want dark almond.

We want, we want milk almond.

Well, that's 33%.

Okay.

No one's had the guts to speak up for it, but you're probably hemorrhaging customers because of this.

Anyway, on the Whitakers thing, Zoe has found at this particular IGA, they have a banana flavor.

Okay, so she's like, great, can we stop at that IGA?

They stock the banana.

I think I'm not a fan of it, so I can't remember the exact flavor, but it's, you know, banana filling in a chocolate block.

So imagine the excitement when at this IGA, not only were we getting chocolate, but Zoe goes, we'll get some ice cream as well, and we're going away for the weekend.

Goes to the ice cream place, comes back

with, I think it's Peter's or maybe, yeah, I think it's a Peter's bucket of ice cream, like a tub, normal one liter tub.

Comes back and goes, look at what they've got.

It's like Napolitana or Neapolitana, but instead of chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, it's banana split flavor, banana, chock chip, and chocolate.

So like banana cookies and chocolate.

Yeah.

She's never seen it before.

I think this is a new flavor.

She's so excited.

Next supermarket shop, she goes to look for this banana split, three flavors in one, can't find it at our regular supermarket goes to another supermarket in our area can't find it so it was a winner it was a winner it was delicious it seems to be only at this iga in the country this regional iga that they used by date right they have they have wasn't

the product of 1985 i'm looking at the branding that was the strawberry and it's just gone bad over 1966 i'm looking at the branding right it's not limited edition it's not new it's it's it is a flavor that is produced and again think it's Peter's could be wrong.

I feel like this IGA in the country, this small regional IGA, it's got the banana chocolate.

It's got the banana split ice cream flavor.

I think it's some sort of banana portal.

Really?

Like that just exists in the universe.

It's this special place in the universe that has special access to banana flavored things.

Did it have masks?

Yes.

It's the perfect spot for you guys.

I think we're going to go and live there.

I think we're going to go and live in this small town because it's, they just get us, you know, they just get the Blake family.

That's all we need.

They understand our confectory needs.

So I'm just saying, maybe this only applies to us, but when you find a supermarket that is, that's got your stuff.

And it's like a portal, like this, it is like it's from another world.

And Zoe has bought three tubs from there that we've now taken back to our house and we've frozen.

We've got no room in the freezer because she's hoarding these tubs because she's scared the portal will close.

Any good science fiction fan knows if you if you're lucky enough to find a portal, yeah, use it, baby, because you don't know when portals close.

Thanks for listening.
