A listener production. Activate your internet because the Hamish and the podcast starts in 3, 2, sorry, still buffering. One. Ahoy to me Dixieland, Hamish. Hello, welcome to, yes, good to have you in my land. Ahoy to me Dixieland, Hamish. Hello, welcome to, yes, good to have you in my land. What are you doing at your land?

Well, you just come on in and have a look. Thank you, creepy bearded man. Ahoy to me Bebop, Jack. Well, come on in and have a look at Bebop as well. We're not, doesn't have to be a strip club. But I mean, is it, they're types of music, they're types of like jazz? He's got it, is it? Dixieland, jazz.

Dixieland, Bebop and I'll Be Swing. Cool, man. What's Bebop, jazz? How's that, I mean, dare I ask, do we dare we get the show off to a slow start? But what's the differential between bebop and say the other types of jazz? Dixieland, I mean, it would have been good if I actually had an example now rather than having to try it. There'll be no further questions at the press conference.

We just need to reiterate again, they are three types of jazz. It is traditional, old-style-y, you know, the original, like it's... Just admit you don't have the notes. Ha ha ha! Bebop was the mid-1940s. That's when they started going really fast, the really fast shuffling, that was Bebop.

Dixieland feels a bit more rag-time-y, you know, like that feels the odd, and then Swing, you know, Swing. Ha ha ha swing Question answers itself That'll be true The International Jazz Association Are you sponsoring these? No the listeners

The listeners Ahoy also to Nick from Sydney Ahoy boys and number six Just got some huge news to share with you all After getting off the phone with my dad and I couldn't believe it when he told me that he's buying a Volkswagen Tiguan. I said no way, how'd you get your hands on one? And he told me that there are in fact eight Volkswagen Tiguan's going for sale in the Sydney region today. Eight Volkswagen Tiguan's,

doesn't get much better. All right, the most sought after car in all of Australia. Get your hands on them quick. Well, we know how long it takes to upload that message, so by the time it came through, they would absolutely be gone. We did get it, we got, someone sent through on the email the other day,

a picture of a Tiguan in traffic with one bumper sticker and one bumper sticker only on it that just said, stay humble. And the person that sent it through wrote, good to see that they know what they're sitting on. That they are on a highly collectible car, but you must acknowledge how blessed you are to have one.

Stay humble. Hey, Mfuig Ventures already started this year. Let's jump into this one. I need a dollar, dollar, dollar, that's what I need. Now, if it's as we are, the key campaigners for hard currency, I would say the leading campaigners for them in the world. I mean, maybe vending machines out there. Vending machines now you can tap as well. You may have a guess. You might not know this, Ando, but I bought a Pepsi from a vending machine the other day. I hadn't vending machine for a while.

600 mil. Throw a number at me. 350? Five plus. Yep, Jack, buy more in touch. 550. $5.50 for a Pepsi. You have to tap. You5.50. $5.50 for a Pepa.

You have to tap and fill up the machine. Hands would fall off. They're actually lucky. It's got that metal on them. Yeah, it would smash through the floor. You'd have to reinforce the floor, lose all your profits from the vending machine. Yeah, because the bin would have to be getting picked up too regularly. It changed over.

$5.50. I'm not saying, I mean, vending machines notoriously not the cheapest way to buy a soft drink, but that is huge. Hame, we're still discussing which way we go. We're following up the, of course, the Royal Australian Mint to see and it has to be signed off by the Treasurer Jim Chalmers if we are to get ourselves, not, we don't want our faces on it. Apparently you have to be, you have to be dead to be allowed to have your face on it. Or do you? Small number one footnote, see Wiggles coin. The Wiggles coin, they reckon that they were characters, not them.

So if you and I put on a funny mustache or something, pretend that we were character, we'd be allowed to be on there. But again, I don't think that's the rule. We don't even want to want to face on it. It's more about the sentiment, the sentiment, sorry, of the show that have championed dollar coins. You see us in the flesh, we give you a dollar, put us on a coin and you've had a lot of, you know, pretty unremarkable collectors edition coins that I think that we'd certainly

stack up alongside. I got this email from Sarah, just a byproduct. She says, guys, read the H&A on the coin. I know Jim Chalmers' hairdresser. Okay, here we go. He gets his hair done by the same place my husband does every time he comes into Queensland. So it's when he's travelling. So that's interesting. His guard would be down.

But a lot of gossip during a haircut, isn't it? That's one of your top talking times. Yeah. Would we get the message to the hair? I think we don't need to. Because at first I was like, okay, is this like the park run plan where we all have to go in different wigs? The chat up's going to be two times. I don't think we have to go and be sitting in a different salon chair and, you know, have to slip the hairdresser a hundred bucks to go, it's a wig, but play along.

Keep the chat up. I need to talk loudly to get the guy over there to listen. I think we just would get to the hairdresser and say, well, you know, could you slip a few ideas into the chat? Mike, can you can you follow that up for us? Have you been listening? He's doing a haircut. He was gazing down the hallway.

It is always worth asking. So we'll try to run to Sarah and see if we can get her to tell the hairdresser to slip it in. Maybe we'll audition the hairdresser to see how she'd slip it in. That'd be helpful. In the meantime, Ham, we also learned Joel, who was our coin nerd that came on, he mentioned the Perth Mint. We have two mints in Australia. And the Perth Mint also make legal tender.

This is exciting, Ham. We've been sent something. I'll slide a box across to you. Because we've got sent something from the Perth Mint. Have you looked in these boxes? I haven't. I have actually. I'll go with him.

I haven't. It sounds like you might have. It does sound like you might have. Had a peep. I haven't. It sounds like you might have. It does sound like you might have. Had a peep. Hoy boys. We've very much been enjoying hearing all your quest to get your mugs on an Aussie dollar. Right.

We do make legal tender. However, circulating currency rests with our good friends at the R.A.M. What is the difference between currency and legal tender? So let's come back to that. So while you work through the final details with them, here's something to tide you over during the two year wait. Good luck, your friends at the Perth Mint. P.S. The Perth Mint happily accept the H&A loyalty card for all famous gold tours.

Just enter the code GUSTO at checkout and you'll enjoy the full 10% discount. Don't even need to give us the 5% back. Wow. Wow. I guess that's what it's like working in a mint. Mostly nice. Haim, let's open. Oh, okay.

Haim and Shenandoah are opening for the first time. Thanks, Jack. It looks the size of a dollar coin, slightly bigger. Oh wow. Well, okay. So, okay. So let's go. You've got, obviously got your heads and your tails side, but is your tails the same? Cause it's got us the, the, the outfits from, um, the podcast thumbnail where we were in the AirPods. Yes. Um, and it says one buck. So it's sort of like, it's sort of kind of like a novelty. You know, it's the shininess, the goldness of a dollar.

It feels like the size of a dollar. And instead of five kangaroos, which is on the dollar coin, I think they've got five weasels, which is really nice. And then must be nice, the crest at the top. Over the other side, I've got, it's mine says Hamish Blake, but you probably got an Andy Lee, Perth Mint 2024, and then a line drawing of my silhouette, I guess. Although it actually looks a lot like your friend, Jacko Ando. And so Ham Sling is yours. Don't you think that looks like Jacko, Michael, your friend? It doesn't look like you. You look older. Definitely older.

I think I actually I'm not I mean, I think Jacko's got a very handsome face. I think they've made me too chiseled. And I've also had a beard for quite a long time. And this is a clean shaven man. He looks a bit like Biden. You look like you do. Biden's rough. That is it. You do look like Biden. I don't bit like Biden. Biden's rough. That is it. You do look like Biden. I don't look like Biden.

No, I look like Jack Oat, the handsomest of Andy's friends. Yeah, yeah, okay. It's really nice, but you can tell straight away that you can't spend that. Yes. So are they saying this, you can make this and say it's worth a dollar? Is it sort of like our Hamish and Andy coin trick where you go, we're just saying it's worth this amount, but it's not actual currency? I don't know.

And that's why Neil Vance of the Perth Mint joins us right now, Hank. Great. Because it's a bloody good coin. It's a great coin. Neil, ahoy to you. Ahoy, boys. Ahoy, Neil. And first of all, I mean, you guys know this because you don't get

into the mint game unless you're confident of your coin making abilities but it's a beautifully made coin. Yeah thanks for that. I mean one of the biggest challenges about making these coins was trying to make you guys look regal on the back of the coins. Yes. And is that why you didn't send Jack one? Well he is represented in the five weasels on the back, which is of course, Jack and Jack in all his, well, I was going to say it's Jack and like four of his siblings, but it's more like Jack five times in all of his different weasel poses, because the weasel is doing different things. So it's like Jack looking for airfares, Jack looking for peanut butter, Jack looking for golf fobs, like all the different, the weasel looks like distracted.

So he's everywhere looking for stuff. So I love that effect. Neil, can you explain to us the difference between currency and legal tender? Yeah, look, basically this the most simple way to put it is the currency is what you'll carry in your pockets to spend in the shops. However, legal tender can be applied to gold and silver coins that are collector or investment bullion coins. So that's probably the difference. You would not use them day to day, but they are legal tender of Australia. So you could use them, but you're on that you shouldn't.

Shops aren't obliged to take them. The shops probably wouldn't take them. And the fact is the metal in them would be worth more than the denomination. Remember we did this Andy, the royal mint them would be worth more than the denomination. Remember we did this Andy, the Royal Mint? It's worth more than a buck. If it was gold or silver it would be worth more than a dollar, that's for sure. What are these made of? Ah, it's aluminium bronze.

Sounds expensive. Look, the coins you've made us here are beautiful examples. This is probably as good a coin as anyone on the planet could ever get that isn't the actual official currency. If we're still hungry to get the official dollar coin, what would your recommended strategy for us be? Is it smart to find the treasurer and get in his ear or should we go through more official channels? What do you think? Well, look, I can tell you one comedian we have put on a coin many years ago, but it was actually Damian Average. So again, it comes back to that character. Do you think we've got him under the silhouette rule? We don't want our faces on it. We're happy

with the silhouette rule? We don't want our faces on it. We are happy with the silhouette. Silhouette is not going to work, boys. I can tell you that right now. Unless, unless you did. What about a weasel, just a weasel? Yeah, I don't know how many people would buy a weasel coin, but that could be done. They don't buy it.

We're putting them into circulation. Into circulation. How do you, once, say we made it, let's just say, best case scenario, Jim Chalmers goes, look, I've been hearing a lot about this when I go for a run, my hairdresser won't stop about it. I think it's what the Australian people want. I'm gonna do it.

I'm gonna make the Hamish and Andy coin. Let's just say we get to that point. How does it get put into circulation? Do they make a million? Do they make like 500,000? There's give them to banks. Do they just sprinkle them through cash registers? How do you get them out there? Okay, well, first of all, the only two characters

or people I can think that have been put on circulating Australian coinage. And I think it was, they were both approved by a prime minister and the palace was Sir Donald Bradman and Pope Benedict. So as you can see, very rarely happens. If it did happen, then it's just made and literally wrapped up into little cardboard tubes

and away it goes to the banks and into circulation. Wow, and how many, like say if it was a dollar, how many do they throw out there? How many Pope dollars went out? Well, we made silver Pope dollars. So back then, the Mithij was about 10,000 from memory. Oh, that's OK. It's not that many. It's quite rare to get your hands on a...

So again, that was a collector coin. OK. But when you say collector coin, it still looks exactly like... The back looks exactly like a dollar, So it ends up amongst all the dollars. Correct. So to be legal tender, it has to have the Queen or now the King to be legal tender. Right. Has anyone seen one with a King on the back? I haven't seen it.

Are they out there? Are they doing Kingies yet? Yes, they are out there. They're still, they've really only started flowing out since January. So there's not too many. And the Perth Mid launched our first coin with the King in January as well. That would have been a big day. It was a big day. Big queue outside the mid.

Jeez. All right. How big's the queue? What are we talking? That was a couple of hundred. Gee, that's good. Yeah, mate, people love that for a couple of hundred. Gee, that's good. Yeah, mate, people love that. Care for a kingy boy. Just gives you, wets the appetite, doesn't it, for two years' time when we do have the green light and everyone's queuing up outside banks hoping to get a roll of Hamish nanny

dollars. Neil, you know this stuff well. Be honest with us. What's our percentage chance of getting it? Zero. I'll ask you to... That's a tough hit around. What's our percentage chance of getting it? Zero. I'll ask you to- That's a tough hit around. I'll ask you to give us a little bit more hope.

Neil, thanks for joining us, mate, and thank you for sending us that quote. You know what, Ed, though? The perfect option could be pretty good. Yeah, exactly. Thank you, matey. Thanks, boys. Guys, I've mentioned on this pod before and to you that, um, Beck has way too much empathy. She feels things strong.

According to you though, but you do have. I have zero. Yeah. But when they were- You do have famously low amounts. When they were handing it out, I was at the toilet and she took mine. Maybe that's why you're good together because you balance each other out. People say it's a lovely thing, but I feel that she takes it too far.

I'll give you two examples in recent times. We went to the Grand Prix not long ago and they had a V8 supercar race after the qualifying day. So they had a V8 supercar race after the qualifying day. So they had a... And something had happened to the Castrol car. Like, whether it was an incident on the far side of the track that we didn't see anyway, or it was just poor driving, or the car's not great. But it was 400 metres behind the rest of the whole race.

Gotcha. And it'd be a pretty tight crowd, like pretty tight pack on that day because it's not that many laps. It's not that many laps. It's a really so there's like, and then there was a 20 second wait. And then it would come past. Beck turns to me with this shocked look on his face and says, what happened? What's happened? And I said, well, it's,

it might've had a little accident or it's a shit car or she's a shit driver. You know, sometimes it's motorsports. And then the next lap, 30 seconds in, looked at me and she was just getting more and more distressed for the little cast roll card that could. Oh no, don't tell me you've had to adopt a VA. Before the third last lap, she yelled out to me, they should let it catch up. Which is not the rules of competitive racing.

Not even at under-rate athletics do they do that. They won't Roberts nose it at the end, but there's no let it catch up. So I was laughing, I got distracted. Then we kind of got bit disinterested in the race. It finished and Bec goes, yes, yes, it's caught up as I went round again, not realising that the race had finished and they were just doing that slow laugh. That warming down laugh. That warm down laugh.

I didn't have the heart to break it to her that, nah, no, it came dead last by 30 seconds. Anyway, that was an incident maybe. And you could argue that she was being empathetic to the person inside, which you could say that's fine. Who would have been fine, by the way? I mean, it's just another day, you know, these things happen. My problem with Beck is she has, feels sad for objects at times, which is bizarre. I get home last week and she says, can you get something from your office? feel sad for objects at times, which is bizarre.

I get home last week and she says, can you get something from your office? I can't go in there. And I'm thinking, spider, it's a bug, spider. Yeah, and I said, well, is it spider bugs? She goes, no, no, no, none of that. I'm upgrading my laptop and I'm transferring it from one to the other and I just feel so sad for the...

Hang on, hang on sad for the old laptop. Because it just has to sit there. The life force is draining out of it. It has to sit there and just hand off all the information and knowing it will never be used again. And I was like, yeah, I don't think it feels that way. So she doesn't want to look at it? And I said, but if we relate this to real life, like when jobs, like consider it a job.

Yeah, it's a handover. It's a handover. Like often someone finishes a job and then you have a little handover period and she goes, no, but it wasn't working for me. It was just a friend working with me. When everything, I knew everything about me. Like that is kind of true, I guess. It's not going to squeal.

Like it will ignore us. It'll be gonna squeal like it will, it knows. It'll be fine. But I just like the idea of that I came in here and go, hey, hey, Mrs. Dave, he's gonna sit with you for an hour. He's gonna listen to everything you say. If you wouldn't mind just bringing you up to speed on our running jokes and a few of our highlights over the last 20 years.

And he's got an AI thing, he only needs 15 minutes of your voice. And then that will be that. That's up to you, thing. He only needs 15 minutes, your voice. And then that will be that. My question to you is, Ando, knowing that Bec feels extreme pity and that like motivates her. What does that, where does that put you as the partner? What do you mean? Well, is it, is, are you, are you the Castrol car? And she saw all these other hunks zooming past and she was like, Oh no, look at that. Look at that one. I, um, she's been a while since I've dipped into the word of a magazine.

What was the last magazine that you read? Sheepish. The golf one. Yeah. It's still a while since I've dipped into the world of a magazine. What was the last magazine that you read? Sheepish. The golf one. But it's still a few years ago. Always at the hairdresser I go to it's Men's Health. And it's just always the same. Men's Health is the same magazine every single week. We should have a different person.

It's like abs, sex, like a white front cover. Just same mag. But that's not the Mag I dipped into. It was like one of those kids magazines that's aimed at like seven to ten-year-olds that you see at the supermarkets. Now, I can't remember the name of it, but like K-Zone or something like that.

K-Zone when I was growing up was the one. Really? There used to be one called Mania. Mania, and they give you like video game reviews and like cool stuff that's happening and it's like, you know, full of game stuff and like, that's got to be even less relevant to kids now. Like, I mean, we knew what paper was.

Like, Zoe, Zoe bought it for one each from the kids. She was coming through the airport and I think she's seen them. And they often come with like a plastic thing on the front with some toys or whatnot. Yep. Zoe actually used to work at Mania. She used to work at one of the mags called Mania and do like when she was in like her early 20s and do like video game reviews. So I think that was a part of her going, hey guys, I've bought you this.

It's a bit of nostalgia. This is like where I started these magazines. I don't even know. I mean, I don't want to cast K-Zone in the wrong light here in case it wasn't K-Zone, but it was just a magazine of that ilk. Anyway, I'm flipping through. Good read. Like they're doing, you can tell. And again, I'm trying through, good read, like they're doing, you can tell,

and again, I'm trying to, I'm not trying to have a go here. I'm just, I feel like you can tell there's like one, maybe two people having to put the whole thing together. Because there are a few typos and stuff. And like it just doesn't, and you just know there's no huge circulation. I don't think that kind of magazine is supporting like hundreds of staff. So they're doing their best and they're, and again, like a magazine, you gotta come up with something every month and there is a limited amount of stuff that kids love. And they probably can't use the, what other magazines doing is lying.

They probably don't. Yeah, they actually have to come up with like creative things for the kids to read. Which they just can't just pick a celebrity and say this person's done this when they haven't. That's true. So it's even harder. One of the main leavers taken away from them of the magazine industry.

You really got one arm behind your back. So therefore, I guess that helps explain like, you know, you have to come up with stuff every month. I sympathise with that pressure. I flick open one page and it's like the prank section. And I was like, here we go. What's happening in the prank world? You know, you and I in our earlier days, Ando,

we were known to do a prank or two. I believe our entrance music for the TV show, Rove, if people remember Rove, for one or two years was the song Original Pranksters. Was that not our promo music? So I was like, all right, let's see what's happening. Been a while since I pranked. Doing the nostalgia thing with the writing articles.

Pranks! That's a word I haven't heard in a long time. I was like, all right, kids, gather around. Let me have a look at some of these. Let your old man tell you if these are good pranks or not, right? Straight into reading them, I begin to go, okay, I again go, okay, it's tough to fill this mag. Cause straight away I'm like, no one's done this.

No one's done this prank. The first one I read is called Mayo Mouth. And the setup is this, grab a tube of toothpaste from the bedroom, screw off the top and empty all of it out. Now take a jar of mayonnaise from the fridge and carefully spoon the mayo into the empty toothpaste tube. Which is so impossible, there's even a saying about it. You can't get the toothpaste back in the tube.

So these poor kids at home just going, why have I got a hand covered in mayo and an empty toothpaste tube? But they're like, you know, screw it back on the next morning, like fill it right up the next morning when your brother goes to brush his teeth. Aw, now full of mayo.

Even assuming you could get it in the tube, you'd notice. Like you're obviously going to notice you're like, what is that? Tear, paste and mayonnaise. And not interchangeable, but straight on like, okay, this is where we're at, is it? These aren't like a collection of classic pranks. Someone's like job has been, think of pranks. Or it's the type of prank you've seen on a Dennis the Menace type TV show film. That was set up by an art department.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which brings me to the next prank. Now, this prank doesn't have a name. I'm gonna call it the hat prank. The photo, the heading above this prank is called Water Trap. And it has a photo of three people three hands holding three glasses of water but the prank is not about that i suspect that was

the wrong photo and headline inserted again it is just i think one or two people putting this magazine together so i was because sonny goes dad i don't get this one why is that a water trap and i went yeah i think that that's either from last week's edition and they haven't changed the photo or they just haven't matched the photo. Cause this is the prank. Put the wrong heading on a prank article. It will confuse your readers. Now guys, this is good. Okay.

Again, you tell me if you think this one's ever been done. But man, I love it. The setup. So all of them have the setup and the punishment, right? The setup. Get crafty and make a bunch of hats. Wow. It's pretty hot out of the gates. It's a big ass.

It's a huge ass. Make a bunch of hats. All the same colour. but each one would slightly, each one's slightly bigger than the last. So actually make quite a lot of hats. Next time you're at a friend's birthday party or sleepover, secretly take all five hats with you in your backpack. Now they've put a number to it, so it's five here.

Arrive wearing the normal size hat. Then throughout the day, keep switching to increasingly bigger size hats. Keep switching to bigger size hats until you finally wearing the largest one. How long will it take your buds to know How long will it take your buds to know? Oh my god, I just can't get the image out of a nine year old champ doing that. And going, Glen, is that our main bearer? I'm going to go to the toilet guys. Leave your bag, leave your bag.

No, I'm going to take the bag. I'm going to leave your bag, leave your bag. No, I'm gonna take the bag. I'm gonna take my bag. Oh, and then it's like the punishment. It goes, don't worry, the joke's on you this time. So there's no punishment to worry about, right? It was like, but your buds will be keen to outdo you with their own prank, so get ready. So like be alert.

In case like it's Steve. Someone might go with bigger shoes. Steve, Steve starts wearing bigger and bigger bow ties. So I read this, I was like, hey, this has never been done. Like, clearly this is just made up. It was like, you know, hey, the magazine's got to be in by six o'clock. It's 5.58. I propose we do it.

I propose we do the hat prank, the hat trap. Now, when are we going to do it. He proposed we do the hat prank, the hat trap. Now where are we going to do it? We'll set it up. So already to do a bit of research this, I got on chat GPT and I was like, what's the five easiest hats to make? Okay. Increasing difficulty. Beanie's are very easy.

Beret's feature. Bandana, which is not really a hat, which chat GPD admitted, but bucket hat. So bucket hats are kind of like, yeah, we know we have one at hamishand.com. We have a must be very nice bucket hat. So that's in the top five to make. I think if we went, I think we could go the bucket hat. I think we could do it. So then I go, hey, can you give me like the pattern? Can you give me the sewing pattern? Generate the sewing pattern for five, this was my prompt to Chet Ud, I want five bucket hats that are the same style, that have increasingly large brims.

Please make it for a man, I know my hat size is a 59, so please make it for a man with a size 59 hat. Increasingly large brims. The final brim, and I just made up and I was like, how big do we want to get here for the final hat? So I made up a radius of 60 centimetres. Wow. Okay. A two foot brim. So Chad's GPT comes back and it said, it should be noted that the final hat, so it's like, here's how you do it. but even Chad GPT was like, look, settle down here. I feel like you might never have made hats before.

I feel like I've got to tell you something. Said, should be noted that the final hat with a brim size of 60 centimeters is extraordinarily large for a hat. This is exactly what we wanted. He doesn't know it's for a great prank. It was like, it's extraordinarily large for a hat and really should be only made as an

artistic piece or a conversational piece. It won't have a functional use. I'm like, hey, computer, you don't get it. It's comedy. We're doing a prank here. So when are we going to do the prank? And it's also said beware that the actual with a 60 centimeter brim. It's almost two and a half meters around the outside.

That's a lot of fabric. And I was just like, again, mate, not what I asked you to do. Pipe down. We'll take it from here. I'll get cracking on the hats. Yep. And then- Work out the social situation where you-

And I think we work out the social situation. And this would just be huge. I mean, think of the looks on our buds' faces. Faces, yeah. As they try and piece together. This is a zany scenario of, am I going crazy or is that brim growing? Hey people, go to homesteading.com all the time and upload their special skill. This is something that they think they're brilliant at.

There's no kind of championship or tournament that formally recognises their skill. Where the show you come to, to show it off. And if you're good enough, we'll give you a coin, an H&A coin. Just a bit of a follow up to the guy that said he could get, well, his partner said that his, that her partner, this guy, could get rid of all his clothes, take them all off, including socks and shoes in under two and a half seconds. He's gone cold. I think he's probably gone home and tried it and realised it's more of an eight second job.

Yeah, just panting and going, what was that? And her going 23. Okay. How do we shave 21 out of this? I mean, but it got the crowd up and about this year. It got people fired up. Sets the level. That's about where we're at. I mean, it was probably a little bit too impossible, but that's what the crowd wants. And we have a similar, well, no,

let's not build it up too much, but I think we have an adequately amazing skill today. Came to my side of the fence. It's taken seven shows to get to our first special skill this year, but Bernard Wilson, he wrote in, I can identify any episode of Bluey, the obviously animation sensation, Bluey, in a matter of seconds. He said almost instantaneously, it was in brackets there, when provided a tiny excerpt of footage.

Bernard joins us now. Ahoy to you, Bernard. Ahoy, Boyd. Bernard, ahoy to you and Gusto for today's attempt. Mate, I would assume this is because you have young kids and you've spent a good deal of time watching Bluey. And whilst that is rewarding in itself, it's also then provided you the thought, hang on a sec, I could, I might be the best in the world at this. Well, actually I don't have any kids at all. I'm 20 years old.

I just got into it. And that's what you get for assuming on my side of the fence. And also, I mean, there are many, there are, I mean, there's a lot of people that don't have kids that watch Bluie. It's a beautiful piece of art. But when did you first discover it then? Where was your access point to Bluie? Well, actually I was on Skool, and all my mates were off the

face and I was just sitting in the corner. I'm like, you know what? I'm going to give this show a go. What's the most opposite thing to Schoolies I could do right now? That's awesome. And so you just, and so you got that deep cause I would just assume because there's lots of adults that love Bluey, but I wouldn't say that, you know, I'd say it would be rarer to go back and watch it dozens and dozens of times. Oh, there'd be some that I'm pushing on triple figures on some of those.

Got a favourite out? Um, Curry Quest. Okay, lovely. Hey, do you want to shut up? To our data, to our data, there's roughly 150 episodes that are in existence of Bluey. Yeah. You're across all of them. 100%.

Okay. We were seeing them like, okay, how do we test this? You've got a Zoom link in front of you that we'll be able to fire off the clip. So you can see it. A little snippet so you can see it. But we thought it might be fun if you could verse someone who we thought could also be pretty good at this, just to give people like a barometer. If they don't watch the show, they're not aware of how impressive this is.

Would you be interested in taking on someone who, again, this is not their claim, it's our assumption, could be pretty good at this? Are you happy to go against someone? That'd be fun. Okay. Would you please welcome the creator of Bluey, Joe Brum. How are you, Joe? G'day. Hey, Mishgood, mate. Joe. Would you please welcome the creator of Bluey, Joe Brum. How are you, Joe?

G'day. Hey, Mish. Good, mate. Joe, thanks for joining us. Bernard, you're going to up against the creator. Now, Joe, I imagine you meticulously watch every single frame of this thing and you've written all the episodes, so you would have a very good knowledge of what's going on. Yeah, well, we'll find out, I suppose. Bernard, how are you feeling about this matchup? Well, I'm pretty chuffed to be on the phone

with him. Well, don't let that distract you. I mean, it'd be weird if you made the Australian Open final and went, oh, bit giddy that Djokovic is over the other side. You meant to try and beat your opponent. Yeah. Joe, if you, and you'd see the data from like, all over the world, it's like the biggest show in the world. I mean, it's across the US. Is there a big spike during schoolies usually of Bluey being watched? No, but it's, it's the market we're trying to work on.

Yeah. Well, you've got a great ambassador in Bernard. How about we, so we run away this time, we got four maybe? I think if there's three out of four for Bernard, he gets it. But if he doesn't get it and Joe doesn't get it, it gets wiped clean and he keeps going. Would that be a good idea? Yeah, that's good. I can get around that. Okay. So are we doing a buzz in to see how it is? No, I think we send them more to Bernard.

It's his special skill. All right. Bernard locks in an app and then Joe could override if he thinks it's a different app. So I wait the whole five seconds, oh, however long? Yeah, you can watch the whole thing. Take it in. That's fair. Don't make it go. Are you ready to go, Bernard?

I'm ready to go. Okay, good luck boys. Let's jump into it. ["Blue Eat This Guy"] He loves blue eat this guy, blue eat this guy, we'll see how much in a minute or two. What Andy said. There we go, nice little song from both of us. Alright, here we go.

This is the first episode, not to be confused with episode one. We'll say first excerpt. First excerpt, here you go. Good luck. It's the guy who owns the shop! And he doesn't look happy! Oh no. I've had this before, where has someone gone?

Oh, I got it. Oh, you got it? Okay, Bernard, what do you think? Driving. And Joe, would you agree? Yeah, well done Bernard. Oh! Jeez, okay. I get the thing on the curtains, the whole debacle.

Peeing for milk, not paying for milk. Joe? Joe knows what I'm talking about, he wrote it. Although in America, we changed it to scratching the curtains. She wasn't allowed to pee on the curtains. Oh, did you get a bit of that Joe? Is there a bit of censoring going on around the world? Yeah, here and there, here and there.

Yeah, what, is there one that annoyed you? That one. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Okay, well done. Okay, here we go, here we go. Here comes it.

Exit two. If you want me to fill some water balloons up, oh, they're off. I love this episode. Reminds me to fill some water balloons up? Oh, they're off. I love this episode. Reminds me of my grandma so much. It's handstand. Oh my god. Joe?

Joe, would you agree? Yeah, yeah, I would agree. Well done, mate. Joe, did you know or are you just now getting that position where you think Bernard's so confident that you'd like to also come up with a comment? He just slipped streaming Bernard. Nah, nah, I knew that one. I knew that one. I knew that one.

OK, four years ago, that one first aired November 12, 2020. Gee, Bernard does know his stuff. I mean, are you watching him, Mike, out there on the Zoom? He's not using any kind of AI or... This is no way. There's no way to cheat. OK, third excerpt. Let's give it to Bernard. Louis, come on, chew with your mouth shut. Sorry, Dad, I keep forgetting.

That's okay. I watched that one last night. I'm like that's Puppet. What? What? I mean sorry. Just check with Joe. Joe what do you think it is? Well yeah I got it wrong twice

but then yeah you're right it's Puppet. What did you think it might be, Joe? I thought it was Show and Tell, and then I said Unicourse, because Unicourse is in it, but it's actually Puppets, Bernard. Yeah, the callback for Unicourse. Joe, would you remember every title of every episode? Yeah, yeah, I think season one, if there's some season one ones, they may test me. It's been a while since I've seen them, but you do watch them

upwards of 40 times each in the process. Well, I mean, it's such a strange quiz format we've got here because it's sort of like, you know, come on, come on this quiz. Someone locks in the answer. Then the other guy on the quiz goes, I agree. I do think Belarus is the capital, so I also think that. He's got a coin. Bernard, we haven't had that for a long time on this show, but let's give him another one because, I mean, at risk of ruining this great run-hand, but we've said it before.

No, I agree. Let's go right to the end. This is probably the most obscure one, isn't it? This is the most fun I've had all week. Yeah, Bernard's got going anyway. He's having an absolute time of his life. Okay, except for... Oh, don't you start. Just quiet us. Okay, come on, quickly. Come in the back. Ah, granddad. Oh.

Joe? Yeah, well done, Bernard. Yeah! Thank you. Thank you. Incredible. I want to try and stump him. Sorry, the last one.

Last one, we had a spare. Go for it, Jacko. Yeah, I always make you laugh. Doctor. He's got it. Joe, that's one from season one. Would you have picked up on that one, Joe? I would just need to check whether it's pluralized or not. Yeah, I was doctor, doctor. I used doctor. We've got it as the doctor.

The doctor. Yeah, you're both wrong. I'm fortunate we're stripping you all of any accolades. No, I mean, all right, well done, Bernard. The bar was high. And I sort of, I sort of want to give one to Joe too, but then, you know, you did create the show and people would like, it would be outrageous.

You'll get a token of no value. Joe, that's also to be treasured. It comes with no value. You can absolutely assign your own value to it when you receive it. But we attribute no value to it whatsoever, Joe. Just so you know. Just so you know, it's a token of no value,

but a token of high value, burn a Hamish and Amy coin, an analogue coin. That is huge. What a way to kick it off. Thanks so much for joining us guys. No worries guys, thank you. Guys, a couple of weeks ago, I didn't get to this last week but April Fool's Day, and you know we love a prank, we're working on the hats, which we've just discussed.

Quick one, had a good prank at home that I thought in our apartment that we've just moved back into, there's in the shower, there's the overhead shower and you turn a knob to make it to handhold shower. Oh yeah, I've seen that. And we never ever use the handheld because it's like on a really thin wand about kind of chest high. Anytime I've stayed in a hotel, the handheld is always the thing that comes on first. Yes. And it's freezing cold and it goes straight on your chest. It's almost like they set it up for that. So there's another fun little prank I'm banned from from Beck. Oh, you turn it. I get out of the shower and then switch it to the handheld.

Yeah. And we'll get the beep on this, but most mornings I hear, Oh, f**k! Stop doing it! So yeah, now I'm not doing that anymore. That's good. That's a good prank. If you had taken a metalworking course and built five increasingly larger sized taps, then we'd be talking.

Like then it would be show quality prank, but it's a fun at home prank. Yeah, that I'm not doing anymore. Haim, April Fools, this came out from Maltesers Australia. I've just sent it to you both. It was an Instagram post that says, we've had an aha moment. And then they've shown a pack of Maltesers. What do you notice differently about the packet? They've done it. They've finally spelt it as of Maltesers. What do you notice differently about the packet? They've done it.

They've finally spelt it as a Malteser. Yes. They put the A back in. They put the A in or back in and then underneath from Maltesers Australia. We've taken Hamish and Andy's feedback to the top. We're here to tease our new name change, Maltesers. Now spelled with an A. You'll see it starting to roll out from Pax from April.

It's an April Fool's joke. The joke's still on them. Why would you? This isn't a joke. This is like one of those jokes going, hey, you've won Tatsalato. Great. Yeah, great. Gotcha. Okay, that's not a great joke. I know. Got excited.

You're giving us something that we all think should be the way it is. If you insist, this is the thing. This is our message to Mars. If you would like people to call it Maltesers, which you clearly do from your ads, spell it properly. Spell it properly. You're selling is Maltesers. So we'll say it properly if that's the way you're going to spell it.

So now we're all chasing each other around here. We're just saying it the way you're spelling it. Now you're changing it back to the way we've been saying it. Yes. So we'll start saying Maltesers, but I bet now we find out it's a joke, you're going back to spelling it as Maltesers. We can't catch each other. We're in a house of mirrors here.

I don't think that's a prank. Yeah. That's a prank. I know we've talked a lot about pranks this episode, but it's really like the prank is 364 days a year and on April 1st they did one non-prankster. Yeah. The joke is we're not doing a joke. The joke is we're such jokers, today we're being deadly serious before we go back to

being absolute pranksters with the rest of our business. Anyway. Oh God. Toblerone didn't come out with blunt ends, did they? We're really getting some attention.
