Hamish & Andy - 2024 Ep 241 - The Government Mandated Break is over!

Episode Date: February 28, 2024

Hamish & Andy are back for 2024 and are wondering what the show stands for this year, and what might be better left in the past. Speaking of the past, Andy discovers Alicia Keys' SuperBowl blunder has been wiped from the internet, leaving the gang to discuss classic Hamish & Andy blunders they'd rather rewrite. Andy's fed up with taking on extra jobs around the house, and another batch of the most powerful power moves.  1. What do we stand for in 2024? 2. That's an Andy job 3. Power Moves 4. Rewriting history 

A Listener Production Forget the 4th of July, Christmas Day, Chinese New Year, Ramadan and Ayyid al-Fitr. There is one date universally celebrated across the planet. That day is March Eve. A lot of excitement building already. The kids go crazy, I think the parents go more crazy and everyone throws arms in the air and that's good fun. Everyone's so excited and everyone's just happy and alive and yeah, friendly. Excited, so excited. And the March Eve of 2024 is a special one as it coincides with the conclusion of the ghastly government mandated break, meaning the return of the Hamish and Andy podcast.

It's so wonderful with both of ages. That's so cool. I'm excited. It's a magical moment where the whole world comes together as one, united. I've been popping it all week! I'm not that ball of champagne! Thousands of people have pilgrimageed to the Hamish and Handy studio, hoping to get a glimpse of the boys,

hoping their computer, or picking up a pen for the first time, as they are finally allowed to work again. It's a rare chance we can get everyone together and all the families together. Yeah, front row seats. Perfect. What are you looking forward to most? The show and the atmosphere, the party, yeah, having a good time. Came all the way from India. Yeah, to see this. Amazing.

And for the millions that couldn't make it to the studio, personal celebrations are in full swing. Crowds at community gatherings right across the city. I feel excited and a lot of love. And as the countdown to March Eve began, you could sense the relief of three men that hate holidays and love working. Finally, being let free to do what they want to do.

The show. Activate your internet. Because the Hey Mission and the podcast starts in three, two... Sorry, it's too buffering. One. One. One. One.

One. One. Yes. Government mandated break over. March Eve celebrations going wild. Jack, rip, rip. What have you done? Sorry, sorry.

What have you done? I mean, it's been a whole summer. I just, I dipped your microphone. So not everybody would have really heard that. My God. And Jack's, mine, mine. I was just gonna say to you, Jack, rip off the tape off your mouth and long may you speak.

And he just, if you want to come in again, I know the moment's sort of past. That's it. Too late. This is like the ball not dropping in time square. You know that? Three, two, one, up, stay. Oh well, baby, next year.

Can't get them right all the time. It's a whole button you have to press. Sorry. What a start. Not resting enough. So what would it be? Government mandate to break too short. Do you just hear that?

They wouldn't have minded one more week. One more day just to get the energy required to shift my fader up. Sorry guys, I've come in with my arms still so tired from last year. They're very, very strong ears would have been able to hear you, but you were a lot lower than the music play. What a treat! The audio audible elite out there. I want to treat.

I look forward to listeners coming up to us in the street and going, I count myself fortunate. I was able to hear Andy's march eve discussion. I have very strong ears. Well, ahoy to me elliptical, Hamish. Oh, great. Gym equipment. OK. Ahoy to me spiral, Jack.

OK. Geographical, geometric shapes. Ahoy to me spiral, Jack. Okay, um, geographical, geometric shapes. Ahoy to me irregular Andy. Tons of ovals. Rectangles. Oh, galaxies. Galaxies. Yes.

God, I won't come in and Jack's thought that there could be an elliptical rectangle for all the nerds out there. Ha ha ha ha. Just some smoothed. Feel like it's already been, I mean, high on the minute, I've already been high for Jack's. Well, where that one's lying?

Had the button this has not happened, we would be going to town on that right now. I'm not even going to explain the galaxy. No, it makes us. We actually have so much to get through. I mean, it's an absolute delight to be back. Yes. It's tinged with a fury at the government. Absolutely.

You always come. Loving a new expected change in government to maybe change some policies. Couldn't believe it. It hasn't happened. Couldn't believe it. Just say, Maud, say, Maud. You know, that's the frustration of the people.

Yeah. Well, we keep electing you people, and the same stuff keeps happening. They keep imposing the same lockouts on podcast. Look, we did, we obviously tried to campaign and protest in different ways over the summer. But you always start this show with it, there's a truckload of stuff.

There's a backlog because of course, people are still listening to the show, people are still writing in. People catching up. Thought what we might start with, it's almost sort of like just get the house in order. Do you know what I mean? Like I want to run through a list of things

that were prevalent last year, that we sort of go, look, are we done with this? Are we still the place for this? Just sort of reset things so everyone can get back on the same page after the. After the mandate and break. For example, we're seeing a lot of correspondence over the summer about sea monkeys. Yeah. I think we're done. We're done.

I think we sort of covered off sea monkeys. Yeah, same with croc based wars. Yeah, although, gee, there's some more small business stuff coming in. That's fine. But I'm saying the croc wars, the specific ones. Yeah, where's the plaque? I've got a lot of that. We don't know.

I think it got dug up actually not that long after we laid the plot. We that's put to bed. That's tucked in. Are we still the show that investigates the Hellstar rating? Yeah, I think we are. We are. I think we are because it continues to flummox the world.

Yeah, then we're not giving up on that. We'll keep digging. It has to be new cases. It has to be new. I mean, obviously as the investigation now drags into its third year, you know, it has to be new evidence. Can't keep raking over the same stuff. But yeah, if something comes up, yeah, we're still the place for that. Are we still running the fill the gap initiative?

That's a bit more bespoke, but that was where I found my old tooth. Yep, yep. Like a denture. We have an interest in it, Jack. Would you say you had an interest in that? Yeah, I mean, it sort of can bubble along in the background, I wouldn't say.

I don't think that. It doesn't appeal to everyone. Everyone has a gap to fill. I think we're closing it out. Didn't you give it away? Yes, well, I want to close it out. Don't you remember he wanted to be like a rental system. So like someone takes it for a little bit,

then gives it back to him, and then we find the next person. Just think with 45 minutes per week, you know, we can't for us dedicate too much to renting out a tooth. I agree. So let's just finish on one case. It was Theo to remind everybody. Hit the mullet. Yeah, he had a mullet. He got knocked out four years ago, his tooth. It wasn't the front, was it? Two failed in place. It wasn't a front, was it? Two failed in place.

It wasn't a front. That was he said is sorry. It's not a front left, but he still thought it might work. So we sent it. So look, I know you guys only repair toyotas and this is a Hyundai. But I do think it could still fit. We sent it out to him. Yeah.

I'm going to text you guys now. Mate, please don't tell me. Have a look at how that has sat in that guys. Perfect. Perfect. Mate, I couldn't, I can't tell. Oh my God. Right. Yeah. If you zoom in, it's a slightly different color.

It's actually the best tooth in the mouth. So we'll pop that up on our pipes. Mate, I mean, I'm not taking anything away from the rest of his teeth, but it does, you can tell that's a good tooth. It's sort of like, yeah, it is like taking a 2008 car and putting one mag wheel on it. Like a really good wheel. But it's not so disproportionate, even though it's a bigger tooth on a side tooth. He's using a front tooth, but on the side, it still would get away.

Jesus, he's got a good eye. He's got a great eye to have a look at your mouth and go, I reckon that's the, because it's like, when you're in the tooth game and I don't want to take any, I mean, I haven't been to denter school, but millimeters would count. Oh yeah. You can't go, that's near enough. And shades, shades of color would count. So I think, unlike many companies,

we've had huge success where we can close it up. Yeah, close it up. Let him have it. I guess he has a preference. I mean, for all the people on social media going, where are the toothpicks? Don't worry, they're coming. That's a great toothpick.

Hey, I had someone bring this up the other day and I thought, gee, we have to bring this. We do have to continue to be the show for this. We haven't done a gusto check in a while. Oh. Yeah. I had a lady stop me in the street, she said, wait, why did you go?

You haven't, I haven't done a gusto check in a few months. And I said, yeah, we do love doing gusto checks. Yeah, just checking in on businesses. Yeah. So I should reply, sorry, I should just kind of Yeah, that's right. We would call a business to see what their gusto levels are like. See if the employees are having a good day, you know?

And we are, I think gusto is absolutely one of the core tenants of our show. Always has been, always will be. Got challenged once. She said, and forevermore we will defend it, she said she picks up the phone every day at work, terrified it will be us doing a gusto check. And she said, so she said it's actually been great for business because I go over the top to every customer thinking it could be a Gusta check. So I like the idea that people are-

Did you get a sense where she worked? I tried and she was on to me. And I go, oh, that's funny. Where do you work? And she's like, nah, nah, nah, nah. I was like, nah, come on. We're not going to do it, but where do you work? And she would not give it away.

Okay. Okay. Well, let's pencil one of those in for the early months of the pod. Yeah. Gusto's back. I don't know if this is a sign or not, but last week in the crossword, Gusto was one of the answers, and I almost took a picture of it and sent it to you guys.

And to an A-word out last night. Can we bother though? My arms were still so tired from last year. We might have to get two slings for you. Just rest up your arms over the next week. And I were out last night and here's something we're happy to see continue. How good was the summer walk past? We do a lot of bows, a lot of dollars, but young men walk past, didn't break stride

and just with a non-Gust O to you. Just O to you.ide and just with a non gusto to you. Just to be able to use. Yeah. I had a undercover police car. How do you know? Because it looked like a Toyota RAV4. And then it was driving alongside me on the street. And then it went boop, boop.

And it's lights went off on the street. And then it went, woop woop, and it's lights went off on the dash. I was like, oh gosh, when it went down, he goes, bow. Oh, what? When a police officer, yeah. If you don't, that's resisting arrest. Yes, so obviously we are giving out bows of dollars still for this year. Hey, Mr. Ralph. Yeah, well, I'm happy to keep Mr. Ralph going, Jack.

I mean, I thought I really thought we wrapped all that up in a nice neat little package at the end of last year. How has it been? Has there been any chat? I heard from your partner that your partner's family, Bianca's family, not as wrapped with what happened. No, and we probably would have got away with it more if they weren't holidaying here as the podcast came out about your fake Mr.

Ralph on there. Mr. Ralph is this guy who gets us cheap discounted business glass flights back home to Bianca's family. Not us. Is those willing to weasel? Yes. And you giving him his details away, talking about him, naming people, naming airlines that he worked for is just getting scarily close for us that someone might get back

to the real Mr Ralph and blow up the whole operation. Did we consider it? Because I remember at the end of last year Alan Joyce left Qantas and part of his package was he gets free flights for life. Did we consider pivoting to Mr. Allen? Like would you ever go and befriend him? Oh, weasel up to whoever need be. I would love to go Qantas business.

That's so big of you, Jack. I hope Qantas use this and they can meet you halfway after your kind, Jeff Sir, that you would be very willing to change your lines. I hope they can do the honorable thing and simply give you two return business class tickets to Miami. And they are looking like... Oh, here we go.

Here we go, Jack. Sorry, still Jack's all Jack's weasel fur is bristling. He has to get one away. I don't think I'm talking out of school when I said Quants is here. Oh, here we go. Here we go. Here we go, Jack. So sorry, still Jack's, all Jack's weasel fur is bristling. He has to get one away. I don't think I'm talking out of school when I said Quonsis has had a hard bit of PR in the last year and they're looking for some good PR. You're getting back up.

Would this be a good gesture to say like, well, we've picked a common man essentially at random and. He demanded it. And we're flying him where he chooses. I think any customers that were unhappy, I think that'll make him feel much better knowing that you and you are you've got business to buy me. I really hope that Virgin was standing by ready to give Jack the deal and he's just mentioned Quanta's so much.

Oh, we can't do that anymore. was standing by ready to give Jack the deal and he's just mentioned Quanta's so much. Oh, we can't do that anymore. Hey, I've had two peanut butter sponsors at once, so I can't do two L ones. So we should, are you asking us to tread carefully? We're not tread at all. I just, I feel like the vibe I'm getting is like, we probably, we had enough fun. is like, we probably, we had enough fun. Just decided we've had enough fun. OK, no, loud and clear. People wondered whether we're going to bring Darcy back in the studio and do Darcy under the microscope. He's the guy that does the sound for us.

Do you think that's something we might do? I think it is. Hey, tie it on. Ready to go. Hey, tie it on. We think go. Hey, tie it on. We think Darcy under the microscope would come back. You're under the microscope right now. A powerful microscope.

We're all going to be under a microscope. I think maybe it's time you put Darcy under the microscope. Darcy under the microscope. Thank you, Jack. You will limit the times you have to play any effects that you can rest a bit. I think I'm ready now. Not again. I can't from here on out. Darcy, obviously a lot of the intel comes in from your partner Jane. Just so you know though, now it's coming in from the public. I had a sore guy. I was at a cafe. A guy walked across a busy road to go,

hey, I've got something for Darls in the microscope. No, no, no, no. Apparently one of your pals, Angus? Do you ever make good Angus? Yeah, yeah, anyway, I've banked that one. Yeah, speaking of banked, does this name ring a bell? Jeremy Baker. Yeah. Yeah.

Banks from a long time back. Yeah. He said he was your Owee leader at university. Yeah, true. From 12 years ago. Oh my God. He's reached out. All we're saying is we're gonna build a dossier.

We won't bring them all together, but yes, we will continue to ask the other mic. So we've got a specific one for today though. Yeah. Bass, you're on your own this year, but first half of the year, it's normally you and Marshe going at it. Yes. Both putting all the sound effects together.

Marshe's taken a six month sabbatical, so is your man in charge? Yeah. And so, yeah, just on you, Duss. How are you feeling about that? I mean, a little under under pressure at the moment. You know, I mean, I meant to be getting stuff ready for the show. And here I am doing Darsie under the microscope. So which is a few things to juggle. But yeah, that's what we wanted to ask you.

You want to say just to lay the expectations for the listeners this first half of the year. Yeah. What can they expect? Like, so how many... That's the thing. I mean, I think people expect a certain level of quality from the show, but I think if you're up... Not from Jack.

No, I think if you're up front about where future mishaps might be, like if Jack had started to say, like, just letting you guys know I've got very tired arms from what? Well, I guess we could do, if we did less sound effects across the board, it would, Jack this isn't your time to request less work. Less work at your hobby.

I make less sound effects, it means you have to press less things. Here's the thing, you're the last, no, this isn't Jack's, this isn't how to make Jack's life easier. You're the last sort of check before it gets published as a podcast. Yeah. Now, yeah, you're doing, essentially doing two people's jobs at once this year.

We thought maybe it'd be a fair thing for you to just call upfront to go, listen, nobody's perfect. I might make five mistakes this year. So if people hear a weird thing in the podcast, we'd be like, oh, well, he did say he was going to make five. That's the third. Yes. Good to know where near the end of the mistakes.

I get you. OK. How many, how many, well, not, not just slip ups, but like notable errors. OK. You think it would be OK to make, and then I think everyone will be cool with that because you've. I would like to say that for the, how a long event,

six years so far is a clean sheet. It's pretty clean. It is clean. So I, you know what? I expected to stay clean and if there are any mistakes, they can come for me. Wow, I'll own it. You won that out of your own.

I love that out of it. Jack, Jack is genuinely shocked. He was like, who for 20? Because when you were saying like choose five mistakes, I was like, well, I'm already on three today. Jack, do you want it? Say a number. They're like an average of ten a show. Okay.

Amazing. Darcy, thank you. That's all we wanted to check. So there we go. One high bar, one low bar. That's it. But you will be back throughout the year for Darcy on the market. The last one, Ham, on my list. Yep. I got one more. You go.

Are we the show still for confectionery updates? That's what I was going to be at. Yeah, big time. I don't have one. I was running a whole show for that. I would like to think we are the leading show on the internet and the audio spectrum for if there's been any issue with confectionery chocolate we do like to focus on but can be any confectionary you come to us we all obviously had all kitten no cat last year that was quite a big one um maltese is another one maltese scandals no was me in there have you another one an instance that's been sent in from Krista over the break, bought a block of Cadbury's

Caramello. No caramel. What? And missing half the back. So if you're not familiar with Caramello, it's the pillow. Yes. Pillow system. Yes. Of inserting a gooey centre. A gooey centre inside a block. Yeah. So probably we assume if you'd have a bit of a think about it, the way it's made is you lay the chocolate down first of the bump. Yeah. You then would squirt the caramel on. You'd then lay the, you'd then lay the back on in chocolate, creating the pillow. Oh, you'd probably make it upside down.

Yeah, you would. You would. You would. Yeah. Like a nice, like a nice tray. Yeah. That's, that's actually, that's well done. Thank you.

I do spend a lot of time thinking about this stuff, but actually, that's well done. Thank you. I do spend a lot of time thinking about this stuff. And that's why we're, so she's received, she's got the block out. It's the, it's all the bumps. So from a bird's eye view down, she's obviously thought, yum, yum, yum. Yeah. I know what to expect here. Yeah.

Not so fast says the block snapped it off. No back, no caramel, but essentially half a block. It's been sent out empty. So it didn't have the back on it either. Oh, yeah. It's not through the system just as the bumps. There's a bumps. So just empty bumps. No squirts, no back empty bumps.

Right. Again, as we heard from the KitKat Factory, yes, but you look at these machines and you're like, every time you see a docker or something on these machines, you're like, that's why we invented machines. Yes. Because they're just doing it's why we invented machines. Yes. Because they're just doing it. They don't have tired arms. But I guess what we're learning is even the most elite machines can get a tired arm from time.

Would you agree, Jack? Yes, it can happen to anyone. So you think they ran out of chocolate? Yeah, maybe it was the end of a run or maybe just, yeah, it was just a glitch. There wouldn't have been a lot of structural integrity to know back on it, which is the bottom. Yeah, still made it through. Still made it through.

The bumps haven't happened. It would have felt a lot lighter. Yeah, I mean, you could claim Krista should never have picked that block up. Yeah, that's it. You could claim usurera. I'm victim blaming here and that is not. No, no, but I mean, in her defense, you just would never, no one's expecting us to be feeling the heft of a block to make sure it's all there.

You know, we're not buying this at a market of an untrusted person. We're at the supermarket getting it out of the famous purple packet. Going back to an old favorite. You have a lot of trust. Still in Cabri land. This is from Nathan. The over Christmas, they love to get the Cabri Christmas popping candy elves.

I must say I also enjoy popping candy elves. Yeah. Um, they were shocked to realize they had a batch with no pop. Wow. So just a plain, that's a Fredo frog. Yeah. By another name, rebad, just as an elf. That's just chocolate with dints in it.

Yeah, it looked like an animal. Not the whole point of a popping candy elf is the feeling of the popping candy in your mouth is reminiscent of the magic you could only experience at the North Pole. But in candy. Yeah, exactly. I love popping care. I love a popping candy. You do? Really. And you know, the marvelous Pole bit of candy. Yeah, exactly. I love popping candy. I love a popping candy.

You do? Really. You know, the marvelous creations. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Really? Yeah. I mean, I just think it's one of the great frontiers of candy.

Yeah. So, you can answer people's questions. Yes. We are still the show. Chocolate. Guys, I'm sure this happens in every relationship. But it's glaringly obviously now, back in I nearly 10 years in, that somehow without discussion there's jobs that have just filtered straight to me that I'm now solely in charge of, where when we first started going out,

it was definitely split 50-50. Or it might have even been something more to do with her world. So she exclusively took care of those things. Yeah, I understand. But now, because we co-inhabit and we're intertwined with love, it's my problem. Wow. Wowee.

It's possibly nice. It's my problem. Or it's seemingly my problem. And without discussion, it's like, well, you're doing that now. Or, hey, can you quickly grab that for me? Or have you done this yet? And I was like, hang on. When we looked at the job descriptions early

in our relationship, there seemed to be a lot less of- You thought it was more of a 50-50? A lot less of my plate. And then there's obviously specific jobs that just become, I think I'm gonna stereotype, husband jobs, boyfriend jobs, man jobs. After 10 years of marriage, we don't, well,

I know the discussion stops, but Zoe will leave indicators that it's time for me to do one like a classic one. Our beanies in a drawer. The classic one is the drawer's out, the bag is up. Yeah, yeah. And that means, me and I say more, time for this guy to go out. And sometimes I go to her,

do you ever wonder what happens after you pull the finger? Because there's all, then the rubbish is gone and a fresh bag is in there. Yeah. I'm actually doing that. Yeah. I'm actually the guy that does that. Another classic one is like the air fryer

sometimes lives on the bench, but people with air fryer know they're a bit of a space hog. And there's a cupboard it can go to. If the air fryer's unplugged and the cord is wrapped around it and the plug is looped through the handle that's a all of these signs are basically nonverbal. Yeah put it away just peering your throat. Does it never get told to put the air fryer away just know that if the cord's wrapped around it yeah up she goes. I feel that's happened a lot I feel like it's crazy and it's just sunk in and I've realized

I've let this go way too long and now they are just anti jobs. Yeah. But I mean, if that's after after doing them three or four times, then it's solidified. So suddenly I've got a lot of anti jobs in my life and I just need your help guys to list them all to get them off my chest. The dog's poo! Yeah, I know. I'm getting it. If the bins need taking out, that's an Andy Chubb. That's an Andy Chubb. That's an Andy Chubb. I can't work the sonos out.

That's an Andy Chubb. That's an Andy Chubb. That is an Andy Chubb. If the dog needs a bath, yeah. That's an Andy Chubb. That's an Andy job, that's an Andy job, that is an Andy job If the dog needs a bath, yeah That's an Andy job, that's an Andy job, that's an Andy job I couldn't find my keys so I've taken your car Let me know if you need them cause I haven't gone far There's a mozzie in the bedroom That's an Andy job, that's an Andy job, and that's an Andy job

That's an handy job. These are all handy jobs. My car's making a funny room. That's an anti-jump. These are all anti-jumps.

My car's making a funny noise. That is an anti-jump. There's a spider in that room, so I'm not going in until you return with proof you've got him. I don't like the hotel room. That's an anti-jump. That's an anti-jump. That's an anti-jump.

I can't find my hat. That's an anti-jump. That's an anti-jump. That's an anti-j I can't find my hat. That's an Andy job. That's an Andy job. That's an Andy job. Any dead animal? The common theme here is these are all jobs for Andy. My bags are too heavy. Can you put them in the car?

And I'm running really late, so grab me a marcher. I really hope she's not mischievous. Yeah. Yeah, good. That's quite a list. Yeah. Quite a task. Yeah. Had to dad to this. Yeah. Yeah, good. That's quite a list. Yeah. Quite a task. Yeah.

Had to narrow it down. Yeah. Don't do what I did. And buy an invoicing app on your phone. I am. They've been flooding in over the government band at a break, so it's time to get back into this. Power moves. Do you want me to kick it off?

What do you got? This is from Lauren Griffiths. She said, only works on older generation, parents or grandparents. That's okay. Sometimes you need to get the power back. Write a heartfelt Christmas card to that person in your life, signed by a couple that don't exist. Your parents or grandparents will spend a lot of the time working with who the hell these people are.

Excellent choice of delivery mode, Judy, because something about the older you get. More hand running. My God, my grandparents, by the time it was near the end, like Christmas cards with the number one media. Yeah. If it's like TikTok for an 18 year old, Christmas cards is absolutely the number one media source

they're keen on in consuming. So if they get a bamboozling one. Jacob and Stacey. Yeah. Who the lov-its? Really good. Ando, this is another parent-based one. This comes from Alan. When in a conversation with your sibling, only refer to your parents as my parents. EG, you're telling them my mum was wondering if you're still coming over for dinner someday.

EG telling them, my mum was wondering if you're still coming over for dinner Sunday. This one is from Elliot. When asked a question you don't know the answer to, chuckle a little and say, it depends who you ask. It gives yourself the upper hand showing that you're so well versed in the topic that you're aware of all the nuances that surround the topic. For example, when did the American Revolution start? Well, it depends on you. Really good. I can't believe anything that wouldn't work for you because I was the smarter people are.

The more they know that there's always two sides of the story. That's good. All right, and two, of the story. Yeah. Gee, that's good. All right. Ando. Two, respectively from Liam and Tom, that are responses when you're in the occupied toilet stall. Okay. And someone knocks on the door.

Right. Because you feel very vulnerable on this stage. I was terrifying. So it'd be nice to have a bit of power back. Liam's advice is, actually I'll start with Tom's. Liam's is quite, is I think on the weirder end of the scale, but therefore possibly more powerful. Tom's, Tom actually says, instead of saying,

you know, occupied or busy, he says, say, come on in. No chance to go again. But it does make you say, well, you're a good guy. Liam, Liam goes for. So I give you some time. That is a really good job. Come in. Really guaranteed someone's not coming in.

I'm ready. Liam reckons, I've got the knock. go with a, I've been waiting for you. I think you've got to be on your toes. You've got to be ready. You have to deliver it well. But Jesus, you can pull them off. They're my favorites today, but I'm going to throw in Nelson's as well because he was powerfully moved against. He was at the Apple Genius bar, got a new SIM card.

The guy at the Apple bar said to me, can you remove the SIM? My hands are too big. No, Jack. Thank God you don't have that as well as tired arms. Immediately making me this smaller hand. Hey, of course, we're just back from the government mandated break. And so things happen during that time that we want to reflect on, but we only get a chance now. And even when we see them happen, we have to be really careful about how obvious

our reaction is as we quickly write down a note or something. Just in case there's a government watchdog nearby or a marshal. For preparation. No, I wasn't. I was writing a, I was writing a card to my mom. Yeah, exactly. So we always carry greeting cards around. And we'll often be seen jotting down notes in greeting cards.

And then, you know, should we get stung by agents, we can just quickly seal up the envelope, send them to mum, shoot shreds them, our mum's notice shred them. And then when we next see each other, when we go in for a hug She'll whisper the idea back I mean it sounds a little over the top, but God help you if you caught breaking the break Um, I'm during the break of course Super Bowl was on people more into it than ever this year Just because Taylor Swift decided to go there.

But everyone, like if I go off my partner, Beck, she just wants to see the halftime entertainment each time. And that doesn't really care about the game. I mean, I'm there for the ads, to be honest. I kind of love that the highlight of like, you know, the sporting world coincides with the championships of another world that I enjoy, which is advertising.

Advertising, yes. Half-time entertainment. Asha, great. Yeah. Alicia Keys, great. I love Alicia Keys. Yeah. People were criticising her opening note.

I mean, she had to sit there at a piano, watch Asha shuffle around for about five to six minutes just sitting in the dark and then had to come in and nail the note straight off the bat with a singular chord, I think on the piano. And it was a little bit sketchy, but that's what makes it feel live and great. This is what it was. I mean, this is an amazing singer, but you go that first moment. If there was a what what is that called in singing to I'm sorry, only no drum terms. What was it?

What's it called in vocals? Is it a wobble? A gargles? Is it a bit of a voice just breaks? I think we'll listen to that again then. Yeah. Yeah. Some people want it all. Crack. Yeah.

I mean, she brings it back and you're not, I mean, it's, it's to the average person. You'd be very happy to complete that what she just did even with the crack. So I was watching, I was a bit of a crack. Got, got home. Beck hadn't seen the halftime entertainment. How was it? It was really great. She, I said, I wish keys. Then she goes, I love this keys as well.

A little bit of a crack. I was like, oh, well, she had a little crack. What were your expectations because for half a second, there's a crack. So she goes, check me the crack. I said, I will. I pulled up on YouTube and this is what I hear. I said, I will. I pulled up on YouTube and this is what I hear.

Some people want it all, but I don't. The cracks have been filled in. It's moved over the cracks. Moved over the cracks. What do you buy, Sally's? I started a little investor. Great integration from Sally. I started doing the interrogation of this.

But again, we must stress the government man bread data break is very short. We do not have a lot of time on our hands. And it turns out it's pretty much washed from the internet. The crack. The crack. How'd you find the crack? How'd you get that bit?

That original crack? Yeah. Yeah, that was deep in Twitter. That was a deep in Twitter land. Really? Yeah. Andy Darkweb to crack. Yeah. Yeah, that was deep in Twitter. That was a deep in Twitter land. Really? Yeah. Anti-dark webbed of crack. Yeah.

And because obviously the rights holders have the rights to put that footage out. Yeah. So they're the ones that then change it up. They smooth it. Republish it. And off they go. And I thought, well, if we only knew that any mistake could be just smoothed over, we should go back through our entire history of doing this show and do the same thing.

So I rang you both. I said, guys, is there anything that comes to mind that you would want to smooth over or change? Now that we know that we have the technology to smooth, it really opens the game up, doesn't it? So, Jack, we're going to do one each. Yeah. I'll be happy to go first because I have a singing one as well. I'll go take us back to go first because I have a singing one as well. I'll go take

us back to 2016 when we were in a band and at one stage we were talking about playing the song Uptown Funk. Oh my God, I can't, I mean I know why you picked this because didn't we all have to? We all have to go doing the do do do do do do. Because I think Andy brought up he was like, hey guys just so you know when we get the have to. We all have to go doing the do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do This is the one. And listen back because the ridicule from both of you is instant. I did it in a booth earlier that day. I played it to you on the show and you could like just listen to the laughter. This is from 2016. Don't.

If you just chained in. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- me again live. I completely forgot. Really wasn't the... I think it caught us off guard because you, well you have a very musical ear jack and that's probably what makes your song so good. But I think it... It wasn't his register. Well it wasn't your register but I think you have a thing where you think sound, things sound different than they do. Like that, because we thought it was a dope and you've gone for a dung or something. I think that's what caught us up guys, just actually not the sound we were expecting. So when I've gone into the studio today to try to cover up the gaps with Darcy, we couldn't really fix that. Whatever technology they used on Alicia Keys, I wish we had, we couldn't really fix that. So instead, I've kept my original duels in there and I've just used AI to do your voices to react to what we're hearing.

That passes the test again. This is rewriting history. Well done, Jack. That was spot on, mate. No notes from me. Doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, Well done, Jack. That was spot on, mate. No notes from me. That is a great rendition of the uptown funk backing vocals. I agree, mate. No notes from me. It was a small laugh because I laughed again, laughed again. That was a new laugh. That shouldn't have been there.

I couldn't stop. I know it shouldn't. That was not.... Then hang on the floor to get as far away from the mic. I'm sorry, I'm ruining this because Jack's gone up, taken out the life speed. You haven't taken out the life ones. They made good AI, eerily similar to a guy I saw on the internet in a scam ad trying to sell weight loss gummies. Great. Well, for the moment for me, I decided to outsource it because yes, I need to fix a lot of my problems,

but there was one guy that needs to fix some more, the Simpsons guy. Oh my God, he would be loving that he could be fixed. We had a guy called Brett on the show who applied for a special skill that he knew everything about the Simpsons and could finish all quotes. All quotes. And we'd play him a quote and half the quote and he was meant to complete it. He didn't get any down to the point where

you actually said, okay, just to make you feel a bit better, give me any quote from the Simpsons and then he froze up and didn't even answer. This was question three of three back in the day when you'll hear the Simpson quote cut in half and he's meant to jump straight in. My fellow Americans, as a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball. We're getting familiar with that laugh, Brett.

Yeah. Oh, no. It's the laugh that says, I enjoy the Simpsons, and I wish I knew this quote. Yeah, he was just, he was out to see. And now everyone doesn't want to be the Simpsons guy when they come on this show. That's unfair for him, so we rang Brett today and we got a chance to wipe over the cracks on that audio. Let's use the technology. Hi fellow Americans. As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball. Oh yeah, this would be an easy one now. Yeah, but tonight I'd say we must move forward, not backward,

upward, not forward, and always twirling, twirling towards freedom. He's incredible. Wow, that's three from three. He really knows everything about the show. In fact, Ando, I think being known as the Simpsons guy, should be synonymous with knowing everything about a topic. Oh, absolutely. And he gets a coin.

That's nice for you to hear that. He'd be stoked with that. He'd be stoked with that. I'm you. Um, so yeah, you like anything you want to fix from the puzzle. Oh, no, it's been pretty force. Um, it'll be pretty, pretty spot on. Except there was one bit. I did remember there was an instance last year where jokingly, we were sort of going,

Oh, you know, based on your current knowledge, like what's, what's a job you could like get through one day of? Yeah, there's a bit of controversy, I think around. I remember there was like, I think, around. I remember there was like, I think the impression was that I jokingly said, GP based because I'm like a lot of Googling that I've done medical stuff. So I was like, oh, I wonder if that was, you know, I wonder if I strayed as much as I remembered.

But I had to listen back. Here's the original audio. OK. I think it's actually fine. But here's the original audio. OK. I think it's actually fine. But here's the original audio. Because you know what job I reckon I could maybe just get through for one day. Actually, you know what?

No job. Let's be honest. I don't think I could do any job. Oh, well, I reckon I could still be a builder. I don't know, Jack. That's kind of offensive, mate. Well, I think it. And I reckon I'm better than builders. All right.

It's... So, I'm actually in the clear there, but listening back, Jack, you... Jack, really... You're a s-like cartoon dog. What? What? You refused? What AI can I...

You used... I bought the free version. It did say includes in-app purchases. I think I'll be fine using the free version.
