A list-nuff production. Activate your internet. Because the Hamish and the podcast starts in three, two. Sorry, still buffering. One. Ahoy, to Hamish on my left as Jack looks at me. How move? Verily controlled him.

You looked when Yehamey's on Andy's left. He's on my right, but also Hoi, to you, Jack. Hoi. Why do we start it with a Chris Angel mind-freak magic trick where you're saying I'm on your left, but I'm on your right to make Jack look at you Jack Why you were distracted any cookie watch? He will now live in ice for one month You've been mind-cricked. I get confused myself. I'm also a hoi to winter and Teddy who has submitted They're they're missing telling us what they're up to today

A hoi, Hammershlandi. I'm Katie Lattesman from Melbourne, Australia. We may be the youngest people to attempt to add an audio to the file because I'm known in here, so... She's what I'm... And in the school holiday, we've just kind of been watching Gapby and Kaira and her colleagues and listening to the podcast. We're just wondering how to get the podcast, we'll just wonder

in how to get the copyright because we'll like to hear it. What we'll do with it, we'll put it with all of our most fresh stuff. Now we have to forget how to attach this audio to your website. And kindly stop getting stuff you don't need. That's no. Good stuff, 30 out of 20. 20 years old. All The day with those kids, kids by uploading that, you've immediately got the attention of NASA and other scientific agencies who will fast track you as these geniuses of tomorrow. Well, sadly for them, they've already come in

and we've already given away the cup of sweat or you've already given away the cup of sphere. Ham, in answer to their question, will you stop buying useless junk? I contest the definition of useless. Okay. So, quarter-journ for today. Hopefully, you'll go on. Guys, switching from the cover sphere, which is a beautiful round object to another round object, a soccer ball. As we would all know, Australia and New Zealand will host the FIFA Women's World Cup.

How? 2023. 2023. 2023. It'll be very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very Hopefully this comment does not appear on any tombstones. I may be associated with all lying under. So yes, for people who haven't been following it, the World Cup in the soccer as we called here, the Women's Soccer is going to be held across Australia and New Zealand 2023. It'll be awesome. I'm not sure if you saw the announcement. I did, but...

I mean, I saw the room where they jumped up and down. Yeah, I loved that. I loved that, right? Well, the room that they've been, if it had been World Cup 2020, with no one would want it, because it may, you can't have it. No, there'd be thumbs down, everyone.

There would be like, bang your head into the wall. We didn't want to get this one. But they arranged chairs at exactly kind of two meters apart from each other because of COVID, but as it got announced, obviously excitement over through the room. And everyone, yeah.

We just went in for a big hug. I shouldn't leave here. Yes. Well, it is exciting. And it's exciting, of course, not just for Australian New Zealand, for our soccer teams and the people of social, the fans of the game. But you think about all the knock on effects

that hosting the World Cup has. You've got, you know, merch sellers, volunteers, volunteers, badge makers, badge mince, yeah, forgeries, badge, sorry, you know, the metal, they're melting down, yes, valuable metals and making badges as we speak. Everyone getting ready for it. And I thought, I sort of looked around, I thought about us, you know, where's our slice of this little line?

Oh, please, so please do not have made any more merch. Do you know about this, don't do it. We can't afford it. We can't afford it. We can't about this dance? Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it.

Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it.

Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it a more appropriate place just to fit into this puzzle.

Cool boys in the front man, our band. I see this as a shining opportunity. And it's far enough a way that we could rehearse up and get even sharper than we are. We've talked about this in the show recently, we haven't played for a few years. We've been looking for that opportunity to come back out. We did say when lockdown finishes, we might gig again. Yeah. I would assume that gig would go well. And by 2023, we'll be looking for a new project. Yeah. Every time the World Cup comes around. So this isn't our next gig. No, but it's, but you've got to put stuff in the pipeline. Otherwise, it never comes out the other end of the part. Yeah, it's true. So this is me. I locked in Katie Perry for the tea to it. The girls World Cup. Yeah. Cricket World Cup. Well, in advance. Yes, and they, to my knowledge, haven't locked in anyone yet to do the official song.

Oh, good work, World Cup. I took it upon myself to drop a small pitch document with four potential songs we could sing, right? And create, I'm going to hand it to Jack. So we, as a cool boy, hang on, hang on. First time I've ever done it, I know it's an original. Well, you have to, you have to to that they make the song for the cup. Yeah, so Jack have a read.

I thought our band mantra was I get it. Why are you used to adapt? All right, Jack read it out. We go one by one, but I want to get your feeling. There isn't I've just handed it to Jack as an A4 piece of paper is because we get to watch live and get a bead off him. So these lyrics are a theme. Pitches, there's four different songs on there

and I'm pitching the flavor of each song. Okay, love it. Potential World Cup Anthem is written and performed by Cool Boys and The Front Man. The first one is called Kicking It, a funk-based tune, cleverly focusing on the importance of enjoying your soccer

and building friendships through the game. I like that. Kicking it. So you can imagine, I get the trumpet back out again. Cool, that would obviously be a group decision. It's fun. It's fun, you've got to have a horn section.

A horn section, you know, no, no. That's a nerdy, nerdy, like a nerdy tune. We're gonna have the trumpet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, poor James. That's one option. But you can imagine it's a lot of about how soccer is a fun game as well as something that can take you to the highest level of professional sport.

Kick in it. Kick in it. It was my friends. The next one's titled, Kicking for the Stars. A high energy hip hop take on the familiar idea of shooting for the stars. Clevverly rejig to include the more soccer appropriate verb of kick instead of shoot. Okay. Yeah, I like that.

I think hip hop is going to be difficult for our group. Yep. So am I going just on us performing it or the idea as a song in general? I mean, I would assume that we can perform any song. So once, so you start with... We can try it up to our phones. Yeah. Thought it was okay. Oh my Jesus. So I would start with the song. Yeah. And then we teach ourselves the song from there. So kick in for the stars. Okay. Cool. That could also be quite motivational too. It doesn't hurt to imagine the life of the song post,

the World Cup as well. Yeah, it's a good point. People use it for bank ads and stuff. Kicks and misses. It's often said that soccer is a game of kicks and misses. I never heard that. I'll say so. Oh, yeah. A beautiful game and kicks and misses. I'll say so. Oh yeah.

The beautiful game and kicks and misses. Kits and misses. And the fusion of EDM and pop cleverly highlights the fact that life also continues up, so life also contains ups in brackets, kicks and downs, misses, kicks and misses. Okay. So it's an electronic music, a dance music song with a bit of pop in there. Yep. I'm an electronic drums already, Jackson on electronic guitar, and you can be on electronic something else.

Yes, the exotic. Electronic, exotic. Okay, I don't... Sounds clever, though, doesn't it? I don't imagine. I don't think it's in, it's not as so inspiring. Yeah, got you, Mrs. Yeah, but why would they do that for the song about the World Cup is Highlight the Misses?

You gotta acknowledge it's gonna happen. There's but why would they do that for the song about the World Cup is highlight the misses? You gotta acknowledge it going to happen. There's not every kick's going to go in the goals. Yeah, that's a little bit of false hope. Don't you think you can be giving the athletes? A guy called Tristan Elliott at my school. He submitted another verse for the sport song. And he got a sport song.

It went a sport song and it went very nice. It went through every single sport, right? And so the orientering was in there. So, you know, and we had to sing all the time. So I was like, are you a skintew up the laps by using their brains, a compass and maps, right? So anyway, this guy Tristan, so we were wondering,

she had the point. She had the point. She was there, yeah, past. So it was the same as the South Melbourne things, okay. Well, Sydney swans, theme song. Anyway, so we sang it at assemblies, but it went for ages, right? And it was 11 verses or something.

And anyway, Tristan. For every sport. Yeah, for every sport. And Tristan, there was no tennis and Tristan all that submitted a tennis. Orient hearing got an internist in. Well, because it'd been around since, you know, 19, 10 or whatever hell it would have been.

It's colonization, that was the first orient hearing. Anyway, so this guy Tristan submits the tennis song. And it gets accepted. So suddenly we've got an additional verse. He would have been cool. He would have been hot. It was not a good moment for him. A caution retail.

A lot of how dangerous sports songs can be. He's got to wake it up because in his verse, he said it was a game of hits and missing. Though we may not always win. You know we give it everything. It's the number one rule of sports songs is you pretend you're the only club that ever wins and you're the only ones that play the game. And the glory upon us is what normal is the sound. And all the other teams are just, I read all of you because you've figured out how to play the game and know when else has. Exactly. And he's putting in his line.

Look, let's be fair. Let's be fair. We've always win. And David did a wee in the bin. Let's not forget that. Anyway, my point is it dampens that verse, that verse should never get into. So kicks and misses is not for me. Yeah, right. Okay. I was going to say, for kicks and misses, we'd have more of like,

you got your kicks, you got your misses. But, you know, at the end of the day, all on hugs and kisses or something like that. You know, be about how it doesn't work. Anyway, okay. It was a clever song, but maybe not else. Yeah. You can only pick one. The final theme for the song is called ball ball of life, upbeat and salsa and inspired. Oh, really. You stupid.

You stupid to Ricky Martin. Ricky Martin, so I'm kind of worried about Jack. Some parallels could be made to Ricky Martin's cover of life. However, this is a ball clever song about how you need a ball to play soccer and also how we all need a ball to be alive because we all live on the same ball. It's actually good. You don't need a cup to play soccer. No, you don't. And you can drink out of other things even if you're going to make the argument that you need a cup to live.

You can deflate your ball and use it as a vessel. Should you drink out of it? Yeah, I mean, you could do... I'm ball of life. Yeah. And we can... I don't think anyone really mind if we just took a lot of cues from that. Ball of life. Hooray, hooray, hooray. Hooray, hooray. I can't go, go. But then it is...

I'm... I'm... Well, if you are taking the tune of it... Oh, I'm... I'd say, do it. He says, oh, lay, we didn't hear right. There's a couple of weeks in the go. That's a kick, but then you miss us in there too.

Bro, I'm going to a couple of updates, him, Impulse Club. Yeah, next week. Impulse Club. Not to be confused with theulse Club. Is it the Impulse Club or Impulse Club? Impulse Club. Not to be confused with the fan club for the popular duo, don't. Impulse Club. Yeah, it's a silly one.

I don't know, but if you're a unign girl in 996, it certainly was around. Oh, yeah. So very much, you're getting a couple of, not too many, but a few people thinking jumping on going, oh, great, I've been waiting for this. My favorite Japanese cherry blossom. Oh, sorry guys, actually not the club.

People are spalling. But if there was a tan in one deodorant that you could easily like select by snapping around the bottom of the can and it was the world's best, and it was an Instagram ad, and it came in the map. That would be an impulse. It's a map that shiny finish. And it was an amesmerizing picture. Wow, that would be an impulse club. Full update next week. Well, he played he coming in, but we've got to stay the course on loyalty cards. It's actually too many.

It's okay, okay, okay. Some of them are already poor. Let's pause on that to next week, because we've got to give, we have to pick today, do we want to update impulse club or loyalty cards? Yes, the winner was decided by A, the one you guys came more about than B, what has been going on longer in the show,

so we do have to update Laudite Cards. And it's hitting more people, not to say the impulse club is not as important, but Laudite Cards. I know in-Pulse Club is for a very niche community. This is for everybody, this is for everyone. Well, what, it's every single store worldwide. Few tating issues still happening.

Yeah. The ideal issues seem to be amongst those that suffer the most teething issues. My local hot chocolate shop, what's coffee shop, but I don't go for coffees. They take in that type of, they accepted, but needed a small explanation. And I think that's,

I think that's upon the card holder to get your explanation down. Pat, my, yeah, that's true. My local milk bar. I got it, but it got through on the second explanation with just a shake of the head, which is, they're accepting it. That's an acceptance, but I feel like more of a girl way new to this stuff. Yeah, well, this is a bit of a weird, like like a duality because it's like, on one hand you're accepting it, then on the other hand you clearly have intething problems because you don't understand it. I think a lot of small business operators like that, they're just giving it, it's been

a good experiment actually on if you just press they will surrender. Yes. And give you this count. Every single shop at the Chapel Street precinct, we've got obviously- That's basic thing. Like them again, they obviously took out the exclusive billboard on the letter that was attached to the card going out. Well, Chapel Street precinct.

Really smart by Chapel Street precinct in Melbourne because that letter has ended up on a lot of fridges, I've sent it on a lot of fridges. And that's there, you know, now people, and I know that this is a global card and that's a local precinct, but they're playing the long game and hats off to them for it because the more people that travel to Australia, now they'll put Melbourne on their list

to places to visit when they're in Melbourne, take me straight to the Chapel Street precinct, please I heard it's essentially the holy city for the loyalty card. And look, we acknowledge that as soon as this was released We're into stage for locked down the no good go. We never have never noticed that but Once we're back out and running guess what I'm hitting straight away. Yeah I'm here can I would love to see you run like a grey hand

I was watching over the park the other day. They're backs. They go crazy. Like snakes. Yeah, they're there. It's unbelievable. I'd love to watch you running like that. Not for street.

Not going to happen. I've got a better chance of doing the jet back loop before Jack. By the way. I really honestly stopped doing that. If we believe that, we get blowered out your ass. If you're putting in to try and make us lower our guard. I really honestly stopped doing that. If we don't lay out, I would get blowered out your eyes. Yeah. And if you're putting in to try and make us lower our guard, I only suspect you're putting as much effort

into learning the backflip. I'm not. And thank you to Ryan from, oh well, he doesn't have a company, but he just was teaching me the backflip and I haven't seen him for many, many weeks because I'm not doing it anymore. But thank you to him for the time he did spend to me

where I didn't get to the backflip, and I never would. What did you do? Starting position. Yeah, you go, first you jump backwards onto a mat and just laying on your back. God. I mean, I'm sure Ryan's doing well.

I'm sure Ryan's doing a job he loves, but it would be, you'd be hard pressed to feel job satisfaction. Watching Jack leap up and lay it back, it's like a dead bug. It's exactly. Dead bug, that's a term you use. Well, for good reason, that's what you look like.

But I mean, how's Ryan coming out at the end of the work that night and having his partner go, how's work on him, be like, I just sit down, I have the best fun. Yeah, exactly. This is Guy Jack, who's got a track history of a really only second to his friend, Hamish, of commuting to things and not following through.

And so I know in my heart he's never gonna do this, but gosh, it was fun seeing him take the first of 19's deaths. And I feel really sad. I feel really satisfied. Well apologies to Ryan. Jack's obviously having teething issues with his own. Having said that, if this is a long con and you're gonna try and trick us into watching a video

of you doing it, our guard will remain up. They can remain up or down, it doesn't bother me. Okay. Actually believe you've came up. I think that fits your profile. It's rock solid. Yes, great ham. Well, it's nice to put that one aside

because something we have committed to and delivered on at some expense is the loyalty cards and a lot of people are enjoying them. Hey, it's Harry from Harry Hadley's guitar lessons. I'm proud to accept the Hamish and Andy loyalty card. So get in touch if you're a beginner, expert, or help back by one of those slow Yamaha's. Hey boys, it's Rob here from Toronto, Canada.

And I'm happy to announce that Doug Tai Toronto will be honoring the Hamish and Andy loyalty card. We'll be giving 10% off all dog rocks and staycations with 5% straight brighter us. As well as an extra 10% off on birthdays limited to 1p year and in the right place. Offway, Hamish Nandy, Mitch here from Melbourne. Flippy Square Company, the rollhecks, they are selling the mesmerizing Flippy squares. They are offering 10% off to any purchase up with the Hamish Nandy Lurickard, as long as they check out using the code

10 for me. They are being extremely generous, that is a full 10% to the Burgessar, they are not accepting the 5%. You think there's any proper margin? Yeah, let's get around the boys. Good morning fellow Hamish and Andy law friends, this is Pintnott from Baraba Country, New South Wales. At the weekend I traveled to the Hunter Valley wine region where we had luncheon at Broken Wood Vineyard. I asked the waitress if they accepted the loyalty card. I can report that the response was a firm no. Sadly, my glass of cricket pitch a red blend would have tasted a whole lot better if the Hamish and Andy loyalty card was

obliged. I want a Hamish and Andy, Mitch here from Tourmber and I'm the owner of both, Mitch's lawn care and Mitch's lawn care parallel. Unfortunately, there are some teething problems when it comes to Mitch's lawn care. But that's a sweetest thing and we'll hopefully be resolved soon. However, with Mitch's lawn care parallel, business is booming. Since the introduction of the loyalty card, I've seen business triple, maybe even quadruple in size. I just want to say thanks guys for supporting

me and thanks for making me feel like you can give back to the little guy. Hey guys, Steph here from Melbourne. I tried the card out at where I'd be, Rano when I was buying a new car. Yes I know, must be nice. What was it nice was not receiving the 5% for you to eat the issues there. Maybe the marketing campaign needs a little bit more gusto. Hey, hey N Miss Nanti. It's Nathaniel from Adelaide here. Last Saturday night, I went to the Stagg Public House on Rundle Street in Adelaide. I bought two jugs of beer.

I displayed the card, and the bartender proceeded to give me a 50% discount earning the bar a kickback of 25%. Ooh! There's a business that knows out of play cards, right? Yeah. Watch and learn, Reno. Yeah. You could have had a 25% kickback, but you didn't.

Because you got silly, and you didn't understand the cards. Well, apologies to those, you know, the broken wood, winery, and also, Reno dealerships. We will follow that. And also, Mitch's a long kit. I mean, sorry, not to be confused with Mitch's long kit apparel, which are doing a stunning job. And he's having teething issues.

It's a long kit side of things. Yeah. But if they, if one arm of the business could talk to the other, we'd love to see a bit more synergy there. But we knew that's the thing with teething issues. They call teething issues because they don't grow overnight. Yep. They come through eventually. Yeah, exactly.

The teeth are growing. It's just taking some time. I love it. Impulse Club next week. More loyalty card updates to come. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Hey, we love doing this. So we, it's a favorite game, Andy. It's the conversational equivalent of giving someone a penalty kick in the World Cup. Yeah, you should get it. But under the pressure... And under the pressure.

Or you can think about it as, what if I don't get it? It could be the guy that didn't get the penalty in the World Cup. It's a game that's designed to sort the best conversationalists away from those who aren't. Yeah. It's Chuchachamp, let's chat here to it. Chitney with your best chat! Not a roway! Chit Chat Champion! The premise is simple, and you and I have an identical conversation two times.

The contestants play each other, they cannot hear the other person's attempt. All you have to do when it... We don't tell you when you have to start talking. I will say one thing, you will say one thing, Andy, and then the contestants have to purely off of vibe and natural conversation or timing skill. Yeah. Then add something to the conversation. Can't be a question. Can't be a question. And you can't say sorry, I didn't hear it. People have been writing a lot to play. Kevin Yes. Yes. Uh, people have been writing in a lot to play. Kevin joins us today. Kevin, how do you?

Oh, hey, boys. How would you rate your chat game? Uh, on the last day of the 1 to 10, I'd say about 9.5. That's high. Yeah, great. And why, what in life has given you that skill? I've got this natural talent where I never get bored.

I go on Wikipedia and I just look up things. So I can usually force myself in a conversation off what I read off Wikipedia. Building up a bank. Well trained. That's it, yeah, yeah. Well trained rather than just a natural gift. He's put the hard work in.

That's very interesting. Yeah, yeah. You need both probably. First question, I'm in question. Yeah. Sam, you'll be up against Kevin. Oh, do you, Sam? Oh, hey, boys. Happy birthday, Andy. No need. And, or what do you, Sam? Oh, hi boys, happy birthday Andy.

No need. And I've got vocal chords, Sam, well warm there, Sam. Warmed up ready to go, three hours of chitin' and chat. Okay, well, that's awesome. Yeah, so that is a lot of warm up. So, Sam, in your day-to-day life, where do you feel that you best, or you most require the best chit chat? Oh, I'm a TV producer, you know, so doing sales, got to talk a lot of shit to people a lot of shit get a chat Yeah, you better chat

I prefer the shit over the chat. Yeah, see what you pull out today Okay, Sam you'll go second so you'll be on hold you won't be able to hear the conversation Kevin You step up to the plate are you ready? Yep, we'll do that. Best of luck. Alright, here we go. Get on the handkerchief. How did you hear there's rumours the new biggest roller coaster in the world's about to be built in Singapore?

The oldest wooden roller coaster is in Melbourne. Wow, that's amazing. So, it's a funny thing. Roller Coasters, my first one ever was in Lego Land in Anaheim in California. I'm around about four years old. Yeah, my dad's top took me on thinking, yeah, it's just a normal ride, like it will tee cup rides to get it accountable.

And third, he popped on, little Lego Land, how's that four years old? So the fight thing was all good on through thinking, all sweet, jumped on. Honestly, this is scary, it's not in my life. Since then, I've been reluctant to go on any Roller Coaster. But now that I. Since then, I've been reluctant to go on any role we've got. But now that I have an adult, I've figured out,

it's not about going down, about the way going up and building a mansion, and you can get that feeling from your head. I think everyone has that feeling. Kevin, you're right. Kevin, if we enjoyed the covers, this is a full of us. APPLAUSE Hey, you did brilliantly, but it's meant to be This is a filipus. APPLAUSE OK.

You did brilliantly, but it's meant to be like a view in a party. I was trying to fill my own personal experiences. No, it's all right. You did, but I just felt, and I felt it. Were you ending on something like a metaphorical, like, you know? And just like in life, it's actually the way up. It's the scariest, not the way down. Kevin, all I'm gonna say is,

the game isn't how long can I talk for. Like the game is really, you didn't really, just kidding, I was like, but as a military analogy here, you just went full automatic spraying into the jungle rather than maybe just picking your shots. And my point is, it's judged on basically out of party with that experience finish, and would we go,

is that kind of weirdo? Oh, I thought it would say that. I was a weirdo. Yeah, you cannot fault the vol- the sheer volume of words that you managed to get into the air in such a short amount of time. Yeah, it's impressive. But for a minute, we're like,

we're in a roof. Certainly I'd avoid you. I would say, I'm gonna go have a dream. I mean impressive. But for a minute, we're like, we're in a room. Certainly, I'd avoid you. I would say, I'm gonna go have a drink. I mean, I wouldn't even go that far. I would just say, well, I feel like I've had a fair bit with Kevin tonight. Better go back home with some other people. In the neighborhood, you'd be talking about me.

I would be worried. Yeah, I would be worried. Maybe not glowingly. From my experience, that goes on an absolute hair trick. Give him a nudging. That's exploded in the conversation. Certainly. You didn't freeze, I'll give you that.

Very impressive. Not a deer in the headlights moment. No more a deer running straight at us. That deer was waiting for the car. OK, Kevin, we'll put you on hold. And over to Sam. Sam, you there? Yeah, I'm here, mate.

Lovely, Sam. All right, Kevin's had his shots. Here we go. Can I end it? Hey yeah, there's rumours that the new world's biggest rollercoaster is about to be built in Singapore. Oh, the oldest wooden rollercoaster is in Melbourne. Oh really?

Well I hope they don't have any incidents like they had up at Dreamland, and that was a bit of a bad incident, so... Happy New Year. I don't want to have a wooden rollercoaster. No, no... Happy New Year. I don't want to have a reward. I don't want to have an award. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's so you know. It certainly would have been a mood downer because obviously that's a catastrophic event at Dream World. I'm going to say Sam, we didn't really want to hear more of this. That was an unlucky piece of word association, wasn't it? In the head that can happen sometimes. Sam, when you started talking about it, did you know this isn't right?

Yeah, yeah. Well, I knew exactly. When you straight away, it wasn't right, but I can't say my roller coaster knowledge is up there with the hand of it. I'm lucky. Yeah, that's okay. And I'm lucky. And I'm lucky.

Yeah, yeah. To the old brain to have gone to. The brain is like an assistant handing you cue cards. And when you're at the podium and you get that cue card you look Wow That's what is telling me to say thank you sir. Thank you for acknowledging it But Kevin it makes you the winner congratulations a token of no value goes out to you mate. Thank you boys appreciate it No well done and a great short acceptance speech. LAUGHTER MUSIC

Hey, I mean, it's hard to come out of such fun in the show. Yeah. And then to have to get real serious with the ongoing look into going for a formal grilling. The episode 100, quite unquote, potential cheating scandal. Yes. We are still assessing as to whether or not Nick had access to a spreadsheet, a searchable database,

any piece, code. Someone coughing. A time machine for the sale. Someone coughing. Someone coughing. An ant sneezing in his ear or something. We don't know how he did it. We don't know if he did it, but the allegations were there

that he cheated in a special skill on episode 100. He joins us back now. He joins us back now. Nick, Hoi. Hoi, Nick. Hoi, Nick, how's this difficult time been for you? It's been real tough. I've had to stay away from a couple of rides here

at some of my house, and there's scary reddit pages. Oh, yeah, there they've been. I mean, that's where a lot of this surfaced first. Jack pl house and the scary reddit pages. Oh yeah, they're there. I mean, that's where a lot of this surfaced first. Jack plums the depths of reddit. Yeah. And they are. And they are finding stuff in there. Subreddit, and that's really where,

that's where you get your most sort of wildest theories fly around, but sometimes the wildest theories can be the truest. Nick, as we contemplated a formal grilling, we haven't got to that step yet. We may have heard last week, but you weren't on. That we had someone give a character reference about you. Have you heard that, Yantnick?

Yeah, listen to it. Do you remember the sandwich incident? I do not remember it, but I think that makes me look like a good bloke. Well, you did state your friend stated that you threw away the salad sandwiches when your dad made. Do you think saying to your dad, yeah, they were delicious, even though you threw them away, makes you sensitive to your dad's feelings? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, same, mate. I was just trying to understand how throwing away a cell of sandwich,

so hanging the sack, especially after a date has gone so much effort. Yeah, could make you look like a good bloke. But, I mean, your friend really was Adam and he was really trying to paint you as a scandrel. And mainly the fact that you lied. As a snake in the grass, you've used to be lying. You've seen you needed a lie for good reasons. You, we asked you over the last week to bring your own character reference to the show. It's only fear after that was an attack on your character last week.

You've chosen your mum and she joins us now. Leonie, oh, how do you? Oh, hi, boys. Sorry, Leonie. It mustn't be fun to have a son that's going through something like this. I know, very stressful. Yeah. Stressful time, we hope to get through it as fast as possible. We've also got formal proceedings

and procedural things we have to go through here. We can't just, you know, it's not the 1600s. We can't just immediately go. He's a witch, Burnham, or no, no, he's a wizard. Set him free. Yeah, the two of them. 12 people. Yeah, yeah. So we do have to go through the right steps. We've had our initial inquiries, but we're heading towards a formal grilling.

To decide if we go to a formal grilling, as Andy mentioned, it's time we hear a few character references. Leonie, do you feel just, and obviously as a mother, do you feel like the process has been fair so far? I guess so, he's a big boy. He can handle himself. Yes, good. So we've got a character reference from you that I'm going to read out. But before I go into it, I just need to know,

would you swear that you wrote the SNH was submitted by yourself? Absolutely. Fantastic. Thank you so much. I think thanks, Danny. To whom it may concern, re-canon necklace be trusted? Yes, that's really the question.

There's three dot points, him. This one's under family. Being a country family, we love our barbecues. No one wants a crap over cooked steak. You got that rightly, only. We, the family, completely trust Nick to cook the perfect steak. Raising a house full of girls,

he can also be 100% trusted to always put the toilet seat down. I equally 100% trust that Nick at all times will bring home a huge load of dirty washing home when he visits from uni. That's trustworthy. That's trustworthy. It's written all over it. Three examples of him being reliable.

This is with regards to mates. So Leon, is this your take on his relationship with his mates? Yes. An interesting glimpse though into the life of Nick's, obviously at home, heavy meat eaters, better day out on the boat, salads now. So he's obviously feasting. He's kind of animal that will feast on me, he's home, saved the safety of his house, but away.

But Matt has waked through the map. Maybe he's only a carnivore. Leonie has this to say in the mates category. Nick can always be relied on to escort, carry or even drag. He's sometimes under the weather house mates to safety. He's mates fully trust that Nick will get them where they need to be and where they're required to be, whether it be physically for the night out or motivationally in the early morning lecture or work out the next day.

Wonderful. Okay. So he's a leader. Yeah. Okay. This is on education. Highly trusted by teachers, students and teammates. Nick was elected, student rep, school captain, captain of the 40 team, captain

state debate team. Wow. And that's a state champion. State champion debater. Yeah. I think the wrong guy here at level allegations against. He has for many years acted as a trusted mentor and tutor for younger students providing encouragement support with a trustworthy ear.

In summary, in all honesty, Nick has never really given me any reason not to trust him. He was never one of those sneaky shitty kids. And I've always trusted him about 100% hard work, humor, confidence, and honesty all make Nick who he is. One high-guess mum, I should know. Hard work, humor, confidence, and honesty, all make Nick who he is. One high-heat mum. I should know. Oh, jeez.

Powerful, really powerful. We should have swirling music by that. We did have that, didn't we? Now that I think about it. Yes, we did. I'm glad we put that music there. And Nick and Leone, first of all, the only congratulations. Those were beautiful words.

And each son would be so proud to have a mum say that about them. Well, written, Leone. Thank you. Nick, we have presented to us a very, very different young man than the man of the salad sandwich incident. I'm still surprised his dad made him a salad sandwich. Yes, that might not even. So in your experience, Nick's dad wouldn't make a salad sandwich.

He'd put some kind of meat in it. Oh, definitely. So you can, and that's... Will you surprise the healing any that Nick threw the sandwiches away? And then tell if his dad flat out they were delicious? No, I'm not surprised at all. Because he wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feeling. This is what...

This is... Don't get me wrong, these are lovely sentiments. But I'd like to highlight, if I could, the difference between somebody that always tells the truth and somebody that gets what has to be done, done. They're not necessarily the same thing. Now, somebody that does what it takes to achieve an outcome is not the same as telling the truth. That's somebody that stands up and goes, I'll do what it takes. If dad, I don't know if dad's feelings, I'll do what it takes.

I want to get my mates somewhere. I'll do what it takes to get them. He's trustworthy. I'm the captain of the 40 team. Mate, we'll do what it takes. It doesn't always imply a hundred percent truth telling. Jack's nodding of one over one member of the jury here. take. Doesn't always imply a hundred percent truth telling. Mm-hmm. Jack's nodding of one over one member of the jury here. Yeah, I see what you're saying.

You know what I mean? But I think if, if, I just feel that if Jack's dead sat him down and said, they're, mate, did you really eat the sandwich? I think Jack, that's when Jack would go, oh, look, no, I was just trying to make it. And Jack would make it. So, so, so, so, Jack would make, oh look, no, I was just trying to make it. And Jack on Nick Nick. So, sorry, sorry. Jack on Nick. He's Jack.

So, you're a great person, you know? I'm the sixth most important. He's number six. Number six. You know, you're number six, Nick. You're a flaker, you know, and jazz. Anyway, I was... If, sorry, if Nick...

If, if, if, if, if, if, if, so, Nick's dad said it, and said, if he called him on it. If he called him on it, I reckon Nick would come clean. And it seems to be the way that's been happening. Look, let's put him both on hold. Let's put him both on hold for a second and Hayman and I have a clear start. Well, we're just saying, we've got a situation here.

We've got a guy that's outstanding in his field and he gets the job done. That's debating. Debating is just, you just grab it any old argument to try and get the win. If you don't give, you don't let the school captain to be that... You're telling me that every elected government official is there for honesty? They're there because they get the job done.

Name, work up, buddy. Wake up. That's politics. Okay. So, what I think we might have here is an outstanding operator. What we don't know is if he decided I want that coin and he devised the best way to get it, he's results driven. We don't know.

I mean, we've always, from the outset, we've always backed Nick's innocence. So saying this evidence paints a go-getter, paints a good friend and a good son and a good brother, but it doesn't not necessarily paint a man that's not, that wouldn't think twice about doing what he had to do to get the job done. How about this? I think what Nick needs at the moment is properly good defense. You know in movies, you know in movies, I think we're heading towards a formal grilling. I'll say that up front. You know in movies, I. And I think it's, if you can't provide a lawyer, one will be provided for you by the state.

I reckon we, let's get him a lawyer. Proper lawyer? A proper lawyer. Let's get him here. If you are, maybe there's a proper lawyer that listens to the show and you'd like to represent me. Pro bono. Pro bono.

In a formal grilling, because as I read through the Constitution again, all formal groupings must have a lawyer present. And I'll say this, we want the most expensive lawyer that listens to the show. Yeah. So you got an email us and go, I'm a lawyer and I charge this much. It's very hard. Yeah. Now obviously you would waive that for us, but we're just using that to rank you. Yeah.

Good idea. So we're going to, we might get accused of it. Probably. Let's think about, uh, Hey guys, good news and bad news. What would you like to hear first, Nick? Ah, the good news. Good news is that, um, we're gonna get you a lawyer.

Oh, yes. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha That is that the expression of an innocent man. We're getting technique, this is not the grilling. Well, this is pre-grilling by the way, Nick. But we are heading to a formal grilling and we do think we've got a duty of care over you here to protect your rights and innocent to a proven guilty. What we thought we'd do is we're going to appoint you a lawyer. Anyone listening to the show now, we encourage them to contact us, samishandhi.com. If they're a lawyer, we want the most expensive lawyer that listens to the show who would at the same time be willing to represent you, pro bono.

Yes. So you come into the studio, they come to the studio, restrictions, whatever the COVID restrictions are, we're doing in a COVID safe way. We're probably doing on Zoom actually. And they will direct our formal grilling questions to your lawyer. You might not even have to say anything Nick. If you do need to talk, you can just talk quietly to your lawyer. Perfect. Yeah, great. Leone, sorry I just got into a formal situation. I will say this, Leone, it was your words that, I mean, kept this thing afloat. Yeah. You mean, you, you, we don't dispute any of what you put forward. We just need to really drill down and what that hell went wrong. Or right on episode 100.

Beautiful. You do what you have to do, boys. Yeah, appreciate that. And in the words of a wise woman, he's Jack. LAUGHTER MUSIC Hey, ando. Took a sunny out the other day for our a lot of one hour of outdoor time in Victoria at the moment. You can have a one hour of outside.

What'd you go with? I went for a bike ride when I played footy. Okay, good. Right, to the oval kick free round a little bit. Yep. The location's important, because you and I live quite close to each other. Yes.

In Melbourne. We're quite close to the MCG. Now, a little bit of Norwin geography for non-Melbon. There's international people. There's a road called Punt Road, runs under Richmond Station. Yep. Right next to the MCG.

There's a huge billboard on Richmond Station, big digital billboard. Yes. And that's, you have to say, one of the MCG. There's a huge billboard on Richmond Station, big digital billboard. And that's, you have to say, one of the primo spots in Melbourne advertising, outdoor advertising. I might know where you might be going because I think I saw the exact same thing today when I was going up front ride.

We don't want to brag. We try not to on this show. But it cannot be hidden. I mean, it's out in broad daylight. Then you and I are in an Uber Eatsad and we're on that billboard. Yeah, it's a digital billboard. It rotates around. But as I was riding from playing footy, we said, having a little kick on the oval, we're riding along and as you come out of the park near that train station, there's trees, right? So I can see through the overhang of the trees. Oh, that's us in the red jumpsuits. Yeah, run the billboard.

And I went, you know, just for prosperity, like, you know, this moment where you and I have a level of fame where we would be on a billboard, it will be fleeting, must be very nice. And it will be quick. Like, it's not carried away. Yes. It will be gone one day and probably not too soon from now.

Yeah. And so in 10 years time, I thought, would it be nice to just be the evidence, right? So I go, it's sunny, you know, me and Andy, we're up on this billboard and he goes, oh, all right, it's a picture of me and Andy, we're up on this big thing, eating like a doughnut. And he goes, I guess it's cycling through a few things at the moment, but do you want to wait to see it come up again? I mean, yeah, okay. And I thought, I'm just going to get a little video. I can fall away in the old memories folder, okay?

I'll go, oh, this is when I was six and dad was on a billboard and he was filming me. So we're waiting, there's quite a few. So it goes through like the road. Yeah, the roadtaste. Something for Stan, it's home lottery thing. Then there's like, if we're touring government and this is like, you know, stay home,

that's a big grin. There's a few, like, there's a bit of like, here we go. Here we go mate, it's coming. What is, how long do they, they rotate for you reckon as you, it's kind of like running into games because I'm trying to keep his vibe up because the green man keeps going in the traffic lights which you know, we conditioned to jump at it and leave the gate. Yeah, and so I'm like, well, well, if we're just this green man, but we should have even one more lights like for a a minute. It's gonna come up. Meanwhile, lots of people are wandering past you with your phone.

Masked? Masked. Masked. That's not a term. So I was like, this is good. This is of all the time to take a photo of yourself on a billboard. This is the least, obviously arrogant. Good point. So, waiting, waiting, waiting, like, oh, gotta be this one.

There's like some university head comes up. Here we go. Pops up. It's Magdarin, Kim Kardashian. They're on rotation. They're on rotation. It's still a new baritone. It's a baritone, it's their slot, so I mean, they're like, oh, they've bought every eighth slot, but they're rotating me out. Sorry, Sally, that's the company that we did it for.

But we just have to wait one more rotation for it to come around. Right. Knowing that there's an hour of a lot of outdoor time, we're probably going about eight minutes left outside now. So like waiting, waiting, waiting, we go through the home one. There's the thing for Stan, Vittoynka, we're like, here it comes. Let's see if we remember the order of the ads. Like I'm trying to think of a fun way to make this a game. Then it comes up and it's Ando and John. a fun way to make this a game, then it comes up and it's Ando and John Farns.

A series of ads. And just before it came up with Ando and Farnsie and John Farns, and and Jimmy Barnes, I had that thought I was like, oh, are there any others out there? And there is that one. I think there's those are the three. That's what I thought they were saying. Sorry. Damn it. That's the company again. It's not being Andy. But there's no others. He said that now it will go back. It moves us to two girls. Now it's these guys.

Now it's going to go back to me and Andy. And we'll get to see it. So he's like, I'm just going to want more cycle. Then he's waiting on his bike. And he's, I guess just through sheer fatigue or he falls over raised his knee I mean I guess we've been out there for a long time waiting for this nobody crazy so I'm trying to keep the vibe up and I can feel it coming but he's crying a bit

now because he's like skindies knees don't worry about that, give it a rub. Here we go, squint of it, water it, we're okay. Ah, here we go, here we go. It's gonna happen, okay, it's gonna happen, cause we're after the Victorian government won. Yeah. Back to Kim and Magda. What? It's not a fair distribution.

We're not every third. What? I don't know, I think they give it, I mean, I get that Kim Kardashian. I think they give it, Kim and Magda, heavier weighting than us. Oh, that. So will you over here with Leet?

Right, I can't say God. I'm so careful. I don't have every drink in the book here. I think you weigh through four cycles. Oh, he's memory now will be, you know what I was younger? I did reckon he was on a bit more. And he made me wait for hours. So, I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man.

I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man.

I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man.

I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to billboard. And the guy next to me, the car realizes me checking out myself going, this is great. So, he, everyone's honking. He, he, he, he points at the billboard, then points across at me. Yeah. What facial expression do I give back? Like, I see they're going damn it.

Like, he's caught me in a moment which I'm not proud of. What, what could I give him? What mind is best? You have to do, and this wouldn't be a problem for you. Remember how there was that filter going around for a while, the thug life thing where the sunglasses fly in and like a cigar lens in your mouth? All you have to do is grab your sonny's from your tray,

chuck them on your face, try and keep your hands under the windowsill and then just flick a smoke in. And then look at him and freeze in the thug while I'm playing. I mean, am I wrong? I mean, that would have been an awesome way. That's what I did.

I mean, you'd have to take whatever scene you had out because it works better with a fresh Thanks for listening. The Hamish Nandy podcast will return next week. Catch up or contribute at hamishanandie.com.
